"Please, Motorola, work harder, get the treasure out of your palm as soon as possible!"

Putting down the phone, Shen Chong couldn't help but curse, it was really inconvenient to not have a mobile phone - no one answered the phone on Lily's side, so he had to leave a voice message.

After working until about 11 o'clock and finishing the mailing of more than 100 copies of "First Film Magazine", Shen Chong returned to the Mandarin Hotel, prepared to have lunch with Li Kaiyuan, and then went back to the office in Kwun Tong together to prepare for the afternoon interview.

"Pretty girl, so beautiful." As soon as they met, Shen Chong whistled.

Li Kaiyuan wore a white single-breasted long trench coat, lined with a black sweatshirt with a little lace decoration, with a re-trimmed short, simple and elegant, capable and feminine, unforgettable.

"Really?" Li Kaiyuan was very happy, she touched her head carefully, and asked, "Sister Qin took me to do it in the morning, how was it?" ”

"Very good." Shen Chong nodded in approval, circled around her, and praised her: "Overnight, the black chicken turned into a phoenix, Sister Qin is really a great magician." ”

"Go! Who's the black chicken......"

"Ming Pao Weekly" is the originator of Hong Kong's gossip entertainment magazine, selling 200,000 or 300,000 copies per issue, and has a relatively wide influence in the Chinese circle in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia.

Shen Chong's exclusive interview with "Ming Pao Weekly" was actually a last resort; before he crossed over, he mixed Chinese, wrote articles in English at all, smeared for more than two months, and tinkered with three or five manuscripts, with the result that whether it was about the Iranian Revolution or the Vietnam War, all of them were lost in the sea after being sent.

Seeing that the crew of "The Legend of the White Witch" is about to enter the mainland, Shen Chong is still an unknown person, how can he attract the attention of Deng Gong?

Since dry goods can't be fried, it's better to just fry people......

Shen Chong decided to go into battle shirtless and made himself popular.

He has been busy going around and around for a few months, and in the Hong Kong film circle, he is a little famous, and most of the gods and goddesses from all walks of life know that there is such a person, but in the eyes of all the people outside the circle, Shen Chong is still a passerby who plays soy sauce.

His current state is like a writer who has mixed up in Longkong, he has poured water, quarreled, mixed the essence, and has also run several review lists and the like, and many gods in the industry can be familiar with Id, but for people outside Longkong, Shen Chong is a hairy ......

The magazine has two senior entertainment reporters who are poached from "Ming Pao Weekly" with high salaries, and Shen Chong took the initiative to contact "Ming Pao Weekly", and a 2O-year-old orphan boy who dropped out of school and made tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in two or three months is also a news gimmick.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, reporter He of "Ming Pao Weekly" arrived as scheduled, and after a short greeting, the interview began.

After first talking about some non-nutritious topics such as life and family background, Reporter He began to get to the point: "Mr. Shen, the Rubik's Cube is a toy that exercises mathematical thinking, and you are learning Chinese, how did you think of the Ming Rubik's Cube?" ”

"In fact, things similar to the Rubik's Cube have always existed in traditional Chinese culture." Shen Chong has long been prepared, the ability of the Chinese is far-fetched, probably second only to the universe country, "For example, the five elements of the gossip, the Luoshu River diagram, are all mathematical games, and then such as Huarong Dao, the nine links of these folk juggling gadgets, are also related to mathematics, I got the enlightenment from these things, understand the Rubik's Cube." ”

"And how did you come up with the idea to make money with this?"

"This is mainly the credit of Sister Yuan Yuan." Shen Chong pushed the topic to Li Kaiyuan, who had been making vases next to him.

"Oh, how did Miss Li show up?"

"It's a coincidence." Li Kaiyuan said according to the script communicated in advance: "Ah Chong used the Rubik's Cube to teach my sister mathematics, I was in a foreign trade company in the toy business, I was more sensitive to this kind of thing, I felt that the Rubik's Cube was fun, and it could be intellectual, and there should be a market, so I resigned and set up a company with Ah Chong, specializing in selling Rubik's Cube." ”

"According to insiders, your monthly income at that time was more than 10,000 yuan, so you quit your job to start a business, aren't you worried?"

"Of course I'm worried, in fact, I'm fine, I can find a job again if I can't sell it, but Ah Chong sold the house left by his parents." Li Kaiyuan didn't know whether to recall the past, or to think about the lines, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said after a while: "We didn't have much money at the time, after the Rubik's Cube was done, we ran all over Hong Kong, and begged people to sell it store by store, but I didn't expect to sell thousands of them on the first day, so I was confident." By the end of the Spring Festival, more than 100,000 Rubik's cubes had been sold, which scared us. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the Rubik's Cube was launched on January 15, and on January 27, Chinese New Year's Eve." Reporter He obviously did his homework, and he asked: "So, the Rubik's Cube has sold more than 100,000 in more than half a month?" ”

"yes, about 130,000 were sold." Li Kaiyuan deliberately showed off his number of points according to Shen Chong's instructions in advance, and said: "I have earned more than 8oo yuan." ”

Reporter He was taken aback and subconsciously asked: "More than 8oo in half a month?" It's all pure profit? ”

"Of course not, it's sales." Li Kaiyuan tilted his head, and said with a smile: "Profits are trade secrets, and it is inconvenient to disclose." ”

Reporter He swallowed his saliva and asked, "Can you reveal the current sales of the Rubik's Cube?" ”

"After the Spring Festival, because of the emergence of many pirated Rubik's cubes, our sales in the Hong Kong market plummeted and we suffered heavy losses." Shen Chong took over the topic and said: "So we turned to foreign markets, in the past March, in North America alone, we sold more than 3o thousand Rubik's cubes, if it were not for the limited production capacity, the sales number would be higher." ”

"Profit...... No, what are the sales? ”

"If you add up the sales from all over the world, there were more than $5oo in March."

More than 5oo US dollars, equivalent to Hong Kong dollars, almost more than 250,000 a month, it can be said that the daily income is gold, Rao is He reporter is well-informed, and he was also stunned by this number, he was sure of his mind, and after a while, he continued to ask: "Can I say that, conservative estimates, each of you can earn 10 million per month now?" ”

Li Kaiyuan glanced at Shen Chong, then nodded and said, "Almost." ”

"So what do you think is the reason why the Rubik's Cube is so successful?"

"Actually, I'm confused." Li Kaiyuan flicked his head on his forehead and said with a smile: "A qiē was planned by Ah Chong, I just followed the errands, I don't know why I succeeded, and I don't know how I succeeded." ”

Reporter He turned his gaze to Shen Chong.

"In fact, it is very simple, now mankind has entered the era of knowledge economy." Shen Chong crossed his hands and said in an unfathomable manner: "With the accumulation of human knowledge, especially in science and technology, to a certain extent, the knowledge-based economy will become more material-based economy, in short, the ability of knowledge to create social wealth, has surpassed traditional production ......resources such as manpower, land, etc."

This is one of the dramas of today's interview, Shen Chong Balabala said a lot, which made Reporter He dizzy.

In 1983, Paul Romer, a professor at the University of California, put forward the "New Economic Growth Theory", arguing that knowledge is an important factor of production that can improve the return on investment, which marks the initial formation of the knowledge economy in theory, and with the rise of the software knowledge industry represented by Microsoft, the knowledge economy has been widely recognized.

In his previous life, as a member of the Keyboard Political Bureau who was messing around in the forum, Shen Chongkan was familiar with this vague introduction to economics, and he was like a river of words, but in fact, he was watching the pot -- his opponent was a reporter from an entertainment gossip weekly, and even if there were loopholes in his discourse as an economic theorist with half a bucket of water, Reporter He would not be able to hear it.

Shen Chong was also helpless, since no one paid attention to the talk of war and politics, he had to make a big move and sacrifice the magic weapon of the house-talking science and technology.

With the exhibition of science and technology, especially the exhibition of information technology, the knowledge economy will soon sweep the world and become the focus of public attention.

Put the theory out first, wait until the explosion of Visica1c and Tetris investment, there are theories, there are examples, Shen Chong is the pioneer and authoritative expert of the knowledge economy, and then write articles and posts, no one will pay attention to it.

Moreover, since Deng Gong was able to put forward the slogan that "science and technology are the primary productive forces," he must have been very interested in the "knowledge economy......

After all, in this era, material-based economic activities are deeply rooted in people's thinking, and knowledge-based economic activities? In addition to writing books in codewords, there are no other examples to speak of, and in the perception of Hong Kong people, except for Jin Yong and Ni Kuang, it seems that no one else can make a lot of money - and Shen Chong also clearly excluded writing books in codewords from the category of "knowledge economy".

Half an hour later, Reporter He couldn't hold it anymore, interrupted Shen Chong's words very bluntly, changed the topic, and asked: "Mr. Shen, I heard that you have invested in a movie, are you very optimistic about the film industry, or is it purely a personal hobby?" ”

After all, Ming Pao Weekly is an entertainment gossip magazine, and Shen Chong's purpose is only to use it to throw out the term "knowledge economy" and use it to hook up the attention of influential professional economic publications.

"It's not only a hobby, but also optimistic about the future of Hong Kong films." Shen Chong accepted it when he saw it and began to enter today's second drama: "I think that the Hong Kong film industry is currently in a critical period of reshuffling, and entering the game at this time is very beneficial to the future." ”

When it comes to movies, Reporter He is in high spirits, this is where he is special, "I have read several articles by Mr. Shen, all of which advocate the new wave of Hong Kong films, can you talk about it specifically, what does the new wave mean?" ”

"The New Wave is basically a 'new' word." Regarding the new wave, Shen Chong has talked about it several times on different occasions and is very familiar, "There are three aspects of the new wave. The first is that the rules of the entire industry have changed, in the past, the large-scale studio system represented by the Shaw Brothers was relatively rigid and the flow of talents could not be increased, but now, the Hong Kong film industry is changing to a star system dominated by agents, and talents in the industry can be hired freely, which greatly facilitates the shooting of films. ”

"The second novelty is that the skills of making movies have become new, in the past, in the film company, all the masters took the apprentices, and passed down from generation to generation, and many skills were conventionalized and patterned." Shen Chong gestured with his hands, and said while gesturing: "In the past, when making movies, such as two people fighting, first give the protagonist a close-up, then switch, give the opponent a close-up, and then fight, shoot clearly with one move and one style, and then give a slow motion at a critical time." The language of these movies is very rigid, step-by-step, unchanged, without their own style, after watching it for a long time, the audience will feel that all the movies are familiar, but they just change the starring role, change the set of actions, and change the plot. Am I right? ”

After thinking about it, Reporter He nodded, agreeing with Shen Chong's statement.

"Now there are a lot of film talents in Hong Kong who have come back from overseas professional schools, and they have learned the latest Western shooting techniques and brought back a lot of innovative ideas." Shen Chong made a few boxing poses with a small range of movements, and said: "For example, when two people fight, why shoot every move, I shoot some fierce physical contact movements, and then a person falls with blood on his face, isn't it okay?" ”

Reporter He nodded again and again, and while writing in the notebook, he asked: "What is the new wave and what's new?" ”

"It's the content, now when I go to the theater to watch a movie, there are only three things over and over, either a kung fu movie with Zhang Che as a template, or a romantic film represented by Li Hanxiang, or a gimmick comedy film by Xu Guanwen." Shen Chong pointed at him, then at himself, and said, "Why don't you shoot the stories around us?" ”

Reporter He was stunned, stopped writing, and repeated: "The stories around us? ”

"Cinema is a highly imaginative form of artistic expression, and there are so many stories around us that can be made." Shen Chong stood up, beckoned Reporter He to join him, walked to the window of the office, looked at the street below the building, and pointed and said: "Look, there is a man and a woman quarreling over there, they can make a love movie; There's a bank office over there, and you can make a cop movie about how to rob a bank; Another example is that there is an old lady who sells fish balls, and she can use her experience to make an epic film about Hong Kong's social changes......"

After telling several examples in a row, Shen Chong asked: "Reporter He, do you say that such a movie is more interesting than those kung fu movies set in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China?" ”

"I don't know about others, but if there was a movie like this, I would definitely go to see it." Reporter He said convincingly: "Mr. Shen's thinking is really extraordinary, I admire it very much, no wonder he can achieve such great achievements." ”

"It's over, it's over." Shen Chong was modest......

This interview lasted for more than two hours, Shen Chong chatted happily, and Reporter He chatted happily, and they were all happy.

"You can really talk nonsense, you have been talking for so long." After Reporter He left, Li Kaiyuan stretched his waist and said, "That reporter is so patient, I'm going to fall asleep when I listen to it." ”

"People eat that mouthful, of course they have patience." Shen Chong looked at her handsome figure unscrupulously and asked, "I have a dinner in the evening, do you want to go together?" ”

"No, I always feel weird wearing this outfit." Li Kaiyuan stood up, picked up his handbag, and said, "I'll go back first, and I'll give my mother a vaccination at night." You drink less. ”

"Got it."
