Chapter Seventy-Four: A Billionaire's Part-Time Job
[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site" ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Xia Donghai and his family returned to the company.
Seeing Fan Wuxi coming out of his daughter's room, the expressions on the faces of the two of them were a little exciting.
"Ahem, I drank too much, Sister Xiaoxue took care of me." Seeing this, Fan Wuxian hurriedly cleared it up, saving him any more misunderstandings.
"Aren't you very good at drinking? How can you have a drunk day? Xia Donghai didn't believe in Fan Wuxi's rhetoric very much.
Xia Xue naturally couldn't let her parents associate with her, so she explained, "In order to shoot the MV, he deliberately drank a bottle of half-old Baifen, and he drank it on an empty stomach, so you can also think of the consequences." β
Oh, Xia Donghai nodded, and then he put his mind at ease, a bottle of half-old Bai Fen can get drunk to death a cow, as long as he has a stomach, even if he has a heart, he is powerless, but he is not afraid of what kind of situation this kid will mess with.
"What's the music video?" Feng Xiaonan asked with some curiosity.
Xia Xue told the two of them about filming Fan Wuxi's new song together, and said at the end, "I guess it should be done today, right?" Mr. Liu is an anxious person, and I think he will definitely not sleep until he finishes it. β
The recording engineer's surname is Liu, everyone calls him Mr. Liu, as for the full name, few people remember, it is estimated that the accountant should know.
While talking, Teacher Liu ran over, and when he saw that everyone was there, he said with a smile, "Lao Xia, Xiao Nan, hehe, Xiao Xue and Mr. Fan are also there!" The disc of the new song has come out, let's see the effect together? β
"That's a must-see." Xia Donghai turned out that the large disc in Mr. Liu's hand was stuffed into the player. Then wait for the screen to appear.
Mr. Liu's post-processing is very successful, the whole picture is very beautiful, plus Fan Wuxian and Xia Xue's performances are more innocent, and Fan Wuxi's grasp of the song is naturally in place, so the overall effect is basically impossible to find any faults.
While everyone was enjoying the music and pictures, Fan Wuxian paid attention to the LD disc brought by Mr. Liu, and couldn't let go for a long time.
ld translated into Chinese is laser disc, laser disc. It was a double-sided video disc that was quite popular for TV, movies and karaoke in the early 80s and mid-90s, and I believe that many friends who were keen to sing karaoke at that time had some impression of this kind of thing.
LD format products were first launched in 1978. Originally named Discovision. In 1980, Pioneer in Japan acquired the majority of the rights to the format, officially named it LaserDisc, and launched the first LD player, the VP-1000, in the U.S. market, and Pioneer has been the most important supporter of the LD format ever since.
In fact, if it weren't for the LD disc that Mr. Liu brought over today, Fan Wuxi basically wouldn't have much impression of this thing, although he had learned something about the performance and price of LD when he was engaged in the localization of karaoke. But after so many years, there is no memory of this aspect for a long time.
LD's discs, with a diameter of 30 centimeters, were used to record video and audio in an analog manner in the early days, and later to analog video and digital audio. Due to the large space of the disc, there is no compression technology, and the storage method of D adopts the double-sided storage method, and there is also the technology of double-sided playback, which is the only disc media in the world that can be played on both sides.
d appeared early, and fell behind early. At first, Pioneer claimed that the main target of their services was families, but due to the high price, bulky and inconvenient, it was finally replaced by VCD and DVD.
In the past, Fan Wuxian had only seen LD's big discs when he was singing karaoke, and the price of that kind of thing was often more than 100 yuan. At that time, how much was the monthly income of ordinary people? It is inevitable that this thing has not become popular in Chinese families, and the consumption is too high.
Although it is expensive, the image quality that LD can provide is close to that of radio and television, and because it is a non-contact relationship, there is no problem that the image will deteriorate if you play too much videotape.
Laser discs are not popular in North America and Chinese mainland, but they are very popular in Japan and Hong Kong, mainly for the production of karaoke discs, and secondarily for general movie discs.
Because it is stored in an analog way, the laser disc does not have the mosaic of DVD or other problems caused by the digitization of the signal. The effect is quite good. As a result, a few enthusiasts still regard it as a treasure until later.
It is also because of these technical special factors that LD does not have piracy. This is also the biggest reason why LD is not popular in Chinese mainland.
"This thing is good, but unfortunately the possibility of wanting to localize is too small." Fan Wuxian thought of the VCD and DVD discs that were all over the world in piracy for two yuan a piece, and he understood that this kind of thing could only be appreciated as a collector's item.
It is estimated that the domestic film disc player should also come out, right? The technical threshold of this thing is very low, but I don't mind doing a little bit of it, anyway, I am integrating low-voltage electrical resources, and talents in all aspects have to attract some, and I am not afraid of merging a few more electronics factories, as for the source of the discs, I will leave it to the pirates to do their work.
Fan Wuxi was pondering about VCD, but was grabbed by Xia Donghai and shook his shoulder.
"Huh? What's wrong? Fan Wuxie, who was shaken awake, looked at Xia Donghai in some surprise and asked.
Xia Donghai said a little stupidly, "If you don't shake it, you won't wake up!" Boss, how about discussing something with you? β
"What's the matter?" Fan Wuxi raised his head and asked, then frowned and said, "Please don't shake it, okay?" I can't stand this head, and now I see that people are two ghosts. β
"Uh, it's easy to shake." Xia Donghai took his hand back in a daze, and then said to Fan Wuxian, "We went to a friend the day before yesterday, he is now the editor and director of CCTV, and he is in charge of a column, probably to do some charity activities or other interviews." Recently, they are going to hold a charity performance with Shanghai TV in Shanghai. I listened to your song just now, and I suddenly had an idea, can you also sing a song and give our company a dozen popularity? β
Charity performance? Fan Wuxian said that there are people who are engaged in this kind of activity now?
You know, this is 1991! Although there are some invisible rich people, but now that there is no distinction between public ownership and private ownership, and everyone still has to fight lawsuits on the distinction between public and private, will this kind of activity be a little ahead of time?
At least everyone's minds are the same. People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong!
How can a charity performance, which seems to be a product of the bourgeois era, be held in a grand manner? Fan Wuxian felt that this matter was a bit interesting.
"It is said that it was done in the name of the United Front Work Department. Therefore, some wealthy people from Hong Kong and Taiwan have come, as well as some local rich people, heavyweight officials and the like, and the singers and artists who can participate are now second to none. Feng Xiaonan explained to Fan Wuxian beside him.
When Fan Wuxian heard this, he felt that such an activity was not interesting. Charity performances are nothing more than begging for some money from others. By the way, I just got a party to thank you. Those half-red singers and stars, especially those female stars who look a little good, just take advantage of this opportunity to hang a Kaizi, if you can catch a golden turtle, it is the best, and the worst is to be familiar in front of the dignitaries.
"It doesn't make sense for me to participate in an event like this." Fan Wuxian said with a frown.
This is not Fan Wuxian talking big. Now his status and worth, he is a world-class rich man, although he is relatively low-key, but in the circle of the world's top richest people, everyone still knows that there is such a number one person, who has returned to China. Seeing these unfashionable characters pretending and holding postures here is not disgusting enough, where would he be in any mood to sing at this kind of party? Isn't that self-depreciation!
"It's all for the company-" Xia Donghai saw that Fan Wuxian didn't seem to have any interest in this, so he tried his best to agitate, "Although we all know that you are very rich, boss, but for the development of the company, it is okay for you to sacrifice it." β
"Doesn't seem like this is what I'm supposed to do?" Fan Wuxi immediately reluctant, "You two are company executives, how should the company develop." How to make money. These are all things that you should consider, and I will give you a lot of money for the start-up capital. The rest of the things are not going to be done by my boss, right? β
"Isn't this a matter of urgencyβ" Xia Donghai said with a dead face pestering Fan Wuxian, "This satellite has not yet been launched into the sky, resources are still empty words, and we don't have much appeal now!" If you don't use such a high-quality resource as the boss, it's really a tyrannical thing! Anyway, it's just one night, you just fool around and pass, don't you? I heard that the ratings of Shanghai TV are very high, maybe you will become a star all of a sudden! β
"Why am I a star?" Fan Wuxian smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Be low-key, you know?" If I'm remembered, I'll have a lot of trouble doing things in the future! β
"Boss, can I say a word?" Teacher Liu suddenly raised his hand and asked.
"What?" Fan Wuxian turned his head and asked.
Teacher Liu said with a wry smile a little embarrassed, "Actually, boss, you have already made a face, just the single we made in the morning, I have sent it to Shanghai TV, they have watched it very much, and they have arranged it to the golden song recommendation column, see this is the time, it should have been broadcast live." β
Yes?! Fan Wuxi was dumbfounded, he was originally going to entertain himself, but who knew that he was instigated by Xia Xue, and he became an MTV, and now it's even better, it's already on the screen before it is officially released!
Teacher Liu looked at Fan Wuxian a little worriedly, wondering if the boss would be angry and fire himself directly.
Under the gaze of everyone, Fan Wuxi sighed and said, "Alas, it's already like this anyway, so let's break the jar!" What kind of charity gala do you have, and when was it scheduled? I've got to get myself two decent clothes, right? Now that you're famous, you can't afford to be ashamed! β
"Xiaoxue, you can also accompany Mr. Fan to the party, I think you have a good cooperation." Xia Donghai didn't forget to bring his daughter by the way.
Well, that's fine. Fan Wuxian nodded, and said that it would be good to have someone he knew to participate in, so he wouldn't be too depressed.
Feng Xiaonan handed the invitation letter for the party to Fan Wuxi, the time and place on it were written very specifically, don't worry about making a mistake, there are three more invitations of the same kind, and their family of three must be attending, as for the entourage, they can't enter, this is also for the sake of safety.
"Okay, I'll go back to the hotel first." Fan Wuxian waved his hand, and suddenly asked when he was about to go out, "Where is Wu Zhi's little machine?" β
"The Japanese?" Xia Xue asked, and when she saw Fan Wuxian nodding, she replied, "Yesterday, when you were drunk, he came to take a look, and then went back to the hotel first." β
Oh, Fan Wuxian thought to himself that this guy was also self-conscious, and he didn't stay here to harass himself.
After Fan Wuxian left, Xia Donghai asked Teacher Liu, "Lao Liu, did you really send the disc to the TV station?" β
"How can it be so fast, I'm not helping you catch ducks on the shelves." Teacher Liu said with a smile.
After Fan Wuxian returned to the hotel, he saw Wu Zhi Xiaoji, and then immediately called several financial experts under his command and summoned them to come over for a meeting.
"Boss, is there anything important that needs to be in a meeting?" Wu Zhixiao, who was a die-hard fan of Fan Wuxi, felt a little strange, so he asked.
"Of course, there is an opportunity to make a lot of money now, and we can't let it go!" Fan replied in the affirmative. I hung up two bottles of liquid today, and still haven't seen much improvement, so I can only keep the minimum update requirements, and I hope tomorrow will be better. ***********οΌ ~οΌ [To quickly find this site, please search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network]
