Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 147

Tang Huan's so-called idleness is because he has organized and allocated all his work, so he is qualified to sneak in.

For example, the two things with the highest priority recently, the promotion of CPU and Chinese character information technology standards, the former was left alone after the project book was written, while the executor of the latter, with a more positive attitude, has returned to the mainland, and Tang Huan personally saw him off.

Now he is sitting in the office to meet Zhang Delan, the first signed singer of Dreamworks Records Department. Naturally, the little girl is still accompanied by her elder sister.

"Yuanyuan, I signed you with my own handwriting. Since you are here, you can settle down and develop your career in a down-to-earth manner. The music department of DreamWorks is not just throwing out some toys made of money for the convenience of me. , it has its own plans and goals, for example, it has established a long-term partnership with PolyGram and commissioned it to release records. In short, let’s make progress together with the company, so that the guests and the host can enjoy themselves and achieve a long-term win-win situation.”

Tang Huan's explanation and encouragement seemed very candid, but Hu Yinmeng, who was sitting next to him, secretly curled his lips. You, a big boss, call people by their nickname "Yuan Yuan" with open and closed mouths. Isn't it offensive?

The Zhang family sisters didn't care about it. They felt that this was just a way for the superiors to show kindness to their subordinates. Some people in TVB also called Zhang Delan like this.

Obviously, unlike Hu Yinmeng, they directly ignored the strangeness of Tang Huan being so old-fashioned at such a young age.

Seeing that Zhang Delan listened seriously and nodded repeatedly, Tang Huan changed the subject, "I don't like to be demanding on employees, but I attach great importance to personal professional ethics. I position Yuanyuan as a female singer, and accordingly, all kinds of publicity and packaging are also based on This principle, so remember, you have to maintain your own healthy image.”

Zhang Delan's sister quickly assured, "Don't worry, Mr. Tang, Yuanyuan is really well-behaved, and our whole family is caring about her."

"Then it depends on the performance." Tang Huan nodded slightly, took out a few sheets of paper from the folder and handed them to Hu Yinmeng, "Here are two songs, one in Cantonese is for Yuanyuan's new record, and the other is for Yuanyuan's new record. The first one is a male and female duet Mandarin song used in the company's promotional video, and now the company doesn't have a male singer, so let Yuanyuan and I sing, anyway, we have already cooperated once, and we have a tacit understanding."

"Is "The Lost Promise" another masterpiece of yours?" Hu Yinmeng asked naturally while flipping through the pages.

"That's right." Tang Huan replied bluntly, he had already planned to "learn" the songs of "Polaroid Seven Little Flowers" one by one according to the time, from near to far.

His way of digging into the corners of his partner Xiangjiang Polygram in obscurity can be described as shattered.

But having said that, the giant Polygram really made Tang Huan greedy.Anyway, in the previous life, it was also taken away by Universal in the end, so it's better to let yourself eat a few more bites.

In the original time and space, Priscilla Chan was the original singer of "The Lost Promise". Her father was the assistant director of the Hong Kong Immigration Department. She had already participated in the hymn class and joint school singing competitions in middle school, and her growth environment was excellent.

In 1983, Priscilla Chan was discovered by Angus, a celebrity in the Hong Kong music scene who belonged to the French production company at the time. Together with Chen Lemin and Li Zhishan, she recorded the album "Girls Magazine" featuring girlish feelings. The album was wholly produced and owned by French Amway. PolyGram was in charge of distribution and launched in January 1984.

Priscilla Chan, who was less than 20 years old, became an instant hit with the song "The Promise of the Lost" and became the champion of Radio Hong Kong's Chinese Songs. It achieved a platinum record.

After becoming famous in World War I, Priscilla Chan became independent from the girl magazines and started a solo career.

As for the remaining Chen Lemin and Li Zhishan, they jointly released their second album "Girls' Declaration, Absolute Love" in 1985.

But later, the Fa'anli production company to which the two belonged fell into financial difficulties due to business failure, and was converted from a record company to a manager company.

Therefore, Priscilla Chan was recommended to go to PolyGram, Chen Lemin chose to quit the entertainment industry to develop in the business world, and became the niece of the original wife of the gambling king, Li Zhishan entered TVB development, and this small team disappeared completely like this, which shows the speed of the replacement of the Hong Kong music scene. Ups and downs, sometimes it is a year or two.

Zhang Delan is just in her early twenties, and has participated in acting since she was a child. Especially after training in TVB for such a long time, it is not a problem to control "Lost Promise".

According to this style, it is a matter of course to find someone to create another song and make an album.

Hu Yinmeng browsed "The Lost Promise", and his first impression was very good. He couldn't find a place to express his opinion for a while, so he simply handed it to Zhang Delan who was watching eagerly from the side, and then went to read the first one. two songs.

""Selection"?" Hu Yinmeng read halfway through, with a strange look on his face.

This song is a song that Tang Huan borrowed from the classic love song duet between Lin Zixiang and Ye Qianwen in the early 1990s. He felt that it suited the occasion and copied it casually.

"Boss, is this for the company's promotional video? Is the love song suitable? It's too affectionate." Hu Yinmeng finally found a sense of presence, and threw out his doubts in one breath.

"If you want to be happy for life, you can't help but choose the right person and career... I want Zheru to become synonymous with the IT field in Xiangjiang, and the feelings are always connected. If employees can be as loyal to the company as they are to their lovers Why don't you worry that the big things won't happen?" Tang Huan finally began to chew on words.

"What do you say, we youngsters will do what you want. Having money is self-willed."

Hu Yinmeng, who learned a catchphrase from Tang Huan, handed the lyrics and music score of "Choice" to Zhang Delan, and then checked the time, "I have already contacted Cai Jiguang, and he does have a script about youth idols on hand. Although he is well-known, it is his first time making a movie, are you sure you believe him?"

"No matter what you do, there is always a first time." Tang Huan smiled playfully, "Yuanyuan, go and think about the new song first, I want to meet a guest."

……

Born in Hong Kong in 1946, Cai Jiguang has a history of studying and working in the United States. After returning to Xiangjiang in 1975, he joined TVB, and in 1977, together with other initiators such as Tsui Hark and Gao Zhisen, founded the Xiangjiang Film Culture Center, dedicated to promoting local film culture.

For example, various film cultural activities are regularly held, valuable classic films are promoted and shown, film special research is formulated, lectures are held, and the newsletter "Filmmaker" is published.

At the same time, the Film Culture Center also rents equipment to independent film producers at a reasonable price, and recruits members who love movies.

In Tang Huan's view, these activities have contributed a lot to the development of Hongkong Film, especially its film courses, which have a strong lineup of instructors.

After winning Hollywood's United Artists at the end of this year, Tang Huan will definitely allow him to interact with Xiangjiang, otherwise, the significance of the acquisition will be greatly reduced, and filmmakers like Cai Jiguang, who are relatively familiar with the United States, are undoubtedly good bridge of communication.

It can be said that Tang Huan finds the other party to make a movie, hugs the grass and beats the rabbit, and he can accomplish multiple things at one stroke. This is also his always scheming style of doing things.

Cai Jiguang, who came to visit, was in a very enthusiastic mood. Although he was quite well-known, it was his first time making a movie and he took the script to find investment.

Now that a big boss is taking the initiative to look after him, Cai Jiguang can't help being excited.

Tang Huan quickly glanced at the script, which was basically the plot of "Applause" in his previous life. To be honest, it tested his patience while watching it, but isn't the current youth idol movie at this level.

Tang Huan nodded, and put down the script casually, "Compared with the script, I value Mr. Cai's ability more. This movie should set a benchmark for youth idols, and DreamWorks has invested in it."

Hearing the affirmative answer, Cai Jiguang showed joy, "Thank you Mr. Tang for your trust."

"However..." Seeing that Cai Jiguang suddenly became nervous because of this turning point, Tang Huan smiled and waved his hands, signaling the other party to relax, "I have a small suggestion, Chen Baiqiang, Leslie Cheung, and Paul Zhong, You should have heard about it, it seems that they are all under the name of the same agent, I think the effect of letting them star in this movie should be good. They are all handsome, very distinctive, it is hard for the students to like it or not."

Cai Jiguang thought about it for a while, and he had some impressions of these three young people, and they seemed to be really good.

"I will arrange auditions, and if the conditions are suitable, I will give priority to them." Talented people often value their own principles, and Cai Jiguang did not immediately agree to it all flatteringly.

Tang Huan smiled disapprovingly, "It's better for these three beauties to go up together, otherwise it will be boring. Besides, I have a little sister who comes from a family of actors and is going to graduate from high school this year. Can you help me?" Take care of it, and cast a role at will. Other than that, I have nothing more to say."

Cai Jiguang nodded and said yes, and when he said goodbye, he smiled wryly in his heart. Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free pie in the sky. Investors' finger pointing is always unavoidable. Fortunately, this Mr. Tang is open and aboveboard, and he directly stated the request to his face. , but also happy.

While thinking about it, Cai Jiguang heard someone greet him, "Mr. Cai, why are you here at DreamWorks?"

Cai Jiguang followed his reputation and turned out to be Wang Jing, whom he had known from TVB. He answered, "Let's talk about the investment in a movie."

Wang Jing's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to ask, "How about it, is Mr. Tang willing to invest?"

"Mr. Tang trusted me very much and agreed to invest." Cai Jiguang nodded, "He also recommended actors."

"Oh, Mr. Cai, you are so lucky." Wang Jing showed an envious look on his face, "Mr. Tang is not only generous, he is willing to let go, trusts others to do things, and has a good eye for actors. You see "Shanghai Beach" "Chow Yun-fat and Zhao Yazhi in ", please the audience a lot."

"It's so powerful." Cai Jiguang scratched his head, thinking that this Mr. Tang is so famous for his finger-pointing?

After this thought flashed by, Cai Jiguang asked politely, "Why did you come here?"

"DreamWorks gave me a job to shoot a promotional video, and I'm here to report on my work." Wang Jing raised the document in his hand.

"That's it for now, we'll talk when we have time. I got the investment, so I have to work quickly." Cai Jiguang left in a hurry.

Looking at Cai Jiguang's back, Wang Jing touched the briefcase, where there was an extra script, and he couldn't help but become more determined.
