After all, Xiangjiang's circle is limited, and Sydney's gossip about nothing more will inevitably be faintly spread as a joke everywhere.

This made Mi Xue's desire to change her sister's environment more and more urgent, and Tang Huan did things more thoroughly, simply helping her move her family to Vancouver and arranging their own livelihoods.

For example, Mi Xue's two younger sisters, in addition to planning to continue their education, also work part-time at the radio and television stations jointly acquired by Tang Huan and Feng Yongfa.

Tang Huan stayed in Vancouver on the way this time, mainly to see the layout of this part of the industry.

Feng Yongfa has always lacked interest in the succession plan in the real estate and financial industries arranged by his father Feng Jingxi, and just took the opportunity to get to know Tang Huan and actively contacted the fields of film and television.

Seeing that his eldest son was going his own way, Feng Jingxi had no choice but to acquiesce. Of course, there is no reason why Feng Yongfa's cooperation is Tang Huan.

After lingering in the DreamWorks and Hollywood systems for a while, Tang Huan asked Feng Yongfa to return to Vancouver, where he grew up, and used the convenience of Canadian citizenship to enter the field of Chinese media.

Again, since you already have real money in your hands, there is no need to start everything from scratch.

Feng Yongfa borrowed a part of the entrepreneurial capital from his father, and with Tang Huan's guidance and stronger financial support, he began the acquisition of capital operation.

The first phase was targeted in two categories: radio and television, both based in Vancouver, AM1470 and Talentvision, the city television.

AM1470 was founded in 1972 by Dutch immigrant Jan Van Bruchem, whose call sign "CJVB" is an abbreviation of his name.

The station broadcasts in 18 languages. It is the first multicultural radio station in Western Canada and the third in the country.

City TV is a pay television station. The history can be traced back to WorldViewTelevision in Vancouver. A regional pay television licence was obtained this year from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, the Canadian Radio-Television and Communications Commission.

Both agencies serve British Columbia, British Columbia, which is part of Vancouver.

The AM1470 covers most of southwestern British Columbia, from Chile in the east, to Victoria in the south, to Naima in the west, and to Golmith in the north.

City TV's coverage is also limited to British Columbia, serving minority communities in the province in languages such as Cantonese, Chinese and Punjabi.

Both AM1470 and City TV are asset-dish, spending less than $5 million in total. It is far less than the TV that Tang Huan acquired at the beginning.

However, according to Feng Yongfa, there are not many problems.

AM1470's Cantonese programmes are limited to Monday to Friday evenings and are broadcast under the name "Voice of Overseas Chinese".

Founded in 1973, the owner and person in charge of the Voice of Overseas Chinese is a tourism businessman named Liu Hengxin. In addition to the Voice of Overseas Chinese, the group also includes the Voice of Overseas Chinese travel agency and a fax printing company.

Liu Hengxin is quite capable, and he personally serves as a current affairs commentator and program host of the Voice of Overseas Chinese, and his program has also become a bridge between Chinese immigrants and mainstream Canadian society, on the one hand, leading new immigrants to understand Canadian society and the structure of government at all levels. On the other hand, it fights for the rights and interests of new immigrants.

Therefore, the Voice of Overseas Chinese has received support from all sides. In addition, over the years, there has been a great lack of other Chinese-language radio stations and Chinese-language TV entertainment in Metro Vancouver, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the spiritual food of some Chinese.

It is precisely because of such capital that when Feng Yongfa won AM1470, the Voice of Overseas Chinese decided to fly solo without hesitation and find another radio frequency for broadcasting.

In other words, from now on, AM1470's re-established Chinese channel will have to compete directly with the old Voice of Overseas Chinese in Metro Vancouver.

The problem of urban TV, similar to that of Jiayi TV, which collapsed in Xiangjiang, is not allowed to broadcast advertisements, and its income can only rely on the service fee of subscribers.

As a result, not long after the city TV was launched this year, the shareholders had disagreements and infighting because of financing and company management issues.

Otherwise, Feng Yongfa would not have won City TV so easily.

"It's easy to deal with all these problems." After listening to Feng Yongfa's report, Tang Huan smiled lightly, "Although AM1470 needs to build a Chinese program channel from scratch to compete with the Voice of Overseas Chinese, we have Xiangjiang DreamWorks as a comprehensive entertainment content provider. As for the trouble encountered by urban TV, in the final analysis, it is because of money, and it is even less of a problem. ”

"With the support of DreamWorks and Media Asia TV, it's really much easier." Feng Yongfa nodded, "But I estimate that in the next few years, their profit prospects will be worrisome, and I am afraid that maintaining self-sufficiency will become a problem." ”

"Well...... I was prepared. Without the support of commercial interests, it is indeed difficult to operate for a long time, so we can only rely on continuous expansion and take the road of scale. ”

Tang Huan pondered for a moment: "In terms of radio stations, only AM1470 in Vancouver is not enough, you can go to Toronto and other cities with more Chinese to continue to buy." In terms of TV stations, urban TV is still a bit on the sidelines, and I heard that Canada is considering issuing a national Chinese pay TV license, so you should keep an eye on it. ”

"Don't worry, just towards the goal of building a Canadian Chinese media kingdom, I won't be lazy." Feng Yongfa laughed loudly.

"The wave of immigration in Hong Kong is inevitable, the UK cannot open its doors, and Canada is bound to become the most suitable place to accept it, so our media kingdom has a lot to do in the future where there are more and more Chinese." Tang Huan firmly concluded.

Feng Yongfa nodded again and again when he heard this, and said admiringly: "Your vision." Sure enough, it's long-term. My father often praised him without stopping his mouth. ”

"It's over. Actually, there is nothing unusual. To do business, it is natural to want to be in front and walk in front. Tang Huan waved his hand, "In addition to the media industry, I plan to do real estate in Vancouver, which depends on you to get a scripture from your uncle." ”

"You're too modest, and with diligence, you still don't need a real estate consultant." After Feng Yongfa quipped, he agreed.

They chatted a little more. The banquet began, and the people from AM1470 and City TV were present, but there were only dozens of them in total, which was far less than the soldiers on the other side of the Xiangjiang River.

Tang Huan waved and wrote seven Chinese characters of "New Era Media Group" on the banner, which can be regarded as officially announcing that the layout of the Canadian Chinese media platform has entered a substantive stage.

……

"You suddenly put such a heavy burden on me, I'm afraid I can't carry it." Mi Xue had a worried look on her face.

"It doesn't matter, you don't have to worry about specific matters, your main role. It's just that I don't have anything to do with it. It won't even delay you from continuing filming. Tang Huan comforted softly.

Tang Huan helped Mi Xue move her family to Vancouver, one of the purposes of which was to allow her to take 40% of the shares of New Era Media Group instead of herself, and the rest was held by Qin He Strategy and Feng Yongfa 15% and 45% respectively.

"But your trust in me really makes me feel a little uneasy." Mi Xue sighed faintly.

"Can I still trust your conduct? If you are a man, it is the second master of Guan Bo Yuntian. Tang Huan praised sincerely.

Mi Xue chuckled, "I really wish I was a man." ”

"Still don't, that's terrifying." Tang Huan casually turned off the bedside lamp.

……

After Tang Huan took Silicon Valley No. 1 and arrived in San Francisco leisurely, his subordinates had already arranged various procedures for responding to the antitrust investigation of the Ministry of Justice.

Regarding this matter, Tang Huan's attitude is very clear: the investigation is okay, and active cooperation is not a problem, but if it really goes to the prosecution stage, then his lawyer team is not vegetarian.

In fact, the U.S. Department of Justice has asked Tang Huan, Warren. Warren Buffett, Roberto. Guo Star, Coca-Cola, Columbia Pictures, and even the entire Hollywood investigation is also quite troublesome, and the sense of existence is stronger.

After all, AT&T has just announced its dismantling under the coercive order of the US Department of Justice, and the US Department of Justice is notorious.

I have to say, Steve. Rose once again succeeded in blocking himself, and Tang Huan couldn't help but feel stupid in his heart.

So, after discussing the matter with his subordinates, Tang Huan found Spielberg and asked about the adaptation of the "E.T. Extra-Terrestrial" video game, so as to see how deep Warner fell into this pit.

What is the current height of the box office miracle of the movie "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" in North America?

Since its full release on June 11, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" has been the No. 1 weekend box office in North America for six consecutive weeks.

Of course, this result is not unprecedented, but don't forget, it's summer now, and the first weekend box office in North America means a lot of real money.

In fact, "E.T. the Extra-Terregal" topped the box office in all six North American weekends, hovering around $12 million at the box office, which is unbelievably strong.

Moreover, the popularity of "E.T. Alien" has driven a huge peripheral economic effect, such as the toys developed by Hasbro, which have made a lot of money.

The following weekend, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" was released by MGM, a sister company of the United States, and the film "Spring City Full of Flowers" stole the first spot with a box office of nearly $12 million.

But in the following two weeks, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" returned to the top of the charts, both grossing more than $10 million.

It wasn't until the recent weekend of August 15 that "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" was once again topped by Paramount's "Fridaythe13th Part III" - "Black Friday 3", which topped the top spot with a box office score of more than $9 million.

Obviously, E.T. Extra-Terrestrial's box office blowout has passed, but it will continue to entice audiences to pay for tickets in the coming months.

In addition, there is another factor, that is, the rumor that "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" will cross the political barriers of the Cold War and be released in the Eastern world, I don't know how much follow-up promotion this film will play at the box office in North America.

All in all, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" has created a miracle of a consumer economy with almost all the positive factors in one, and the businessmen are just not touched, but once they are lucky enough to catch a ride, they will try their best to get the most out of themselves, and this is the case with Warner now.

According to Spielberg, he put a lot of thought into the video game adaptation of "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", which can be described as strict, and Warner did not tire of serious cooperation, and according to his request, specially designated Howard Scott Warshaw, who had successfully adapted the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" into a video game. Scott. Warsaw to be in charge of development.

But because of the too much investment, too high expectations, and EA jumping out from time to time to make trouble, Atari still hasn't started construction for a long time.

Speaking of this, Spielberg was a little embarrassed, "It seems that my hasty decision really annoyed EA." ”

"It's normal to be annoyed, but that's about it, it won't have a decisive impact on Warner." Tang Huan smiled playfully, "Even I can conclude that the more EA makes such a sour gesture, the more elated Warner's side becomes." ”

"Like, that's what it looks like." Spielberg recalled a little, and laughed awkwardly.

"Actually, it's a good situation." Tang Huan said leisurely: "According to our Oriental people's habits of dealing with people, there is room for everything, Kang Long has regrets, "E.T. Alien" is a big cake, I have eaten enough, let out a part, is not a kind of great joy for all." ”

"I'm afraid the outside world won't see your generosity." Spielberg sighed, "So far, what has been determined, or can be determined by experience, Lianmei's "Rocky 3", "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", MGM's "Conan the Barbarian", "The Poltergeist", "Spring City Full of Flowers", a total of five movies, box office revenue of more than 100 million US dollars, causing many people to exclaim loudly, you will make at least half of Hollywood's money this year." I think the reason why the Ministry of Justice, which is conducting an antitrust investigation into you, responded so quickly to the requests of some people is also influenced by this factor.
