Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 149 Another Pioneering Work

After Jiayi TV went bankrupt in the second half of 1978, the personnel in front of and behind the stage flowed into TVB and Li TV, especially the latter, so its strength increased greatly, and the fierce competition between the two tigers began.

This year, the TV series that will be well-known to ordinary audiences in mainland China in the future include "Shanghai Bund", "Jinghua Chun_Dream", "Turn Around", "King of Thousand Kings", etc., while Li TV has "Da Nei Heroes". ", "Grace of the Earth", "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" and so on.

Of course, for a whole year, these TV series are obviously not enough to be screened, and there are other series in addition.

For example, TVB's "Incompatibility", Deng Lijun's first Cantonese album of the same name "Incompatibility", the first song "Wind and Frost Accompanying Me", is the theme song of the TV series.In terms of Li's TV, there is also "Lake and Sea Fighting Record", the first Li's TV series that Michelle participated in.

Currently, Li TV and TVB's "Shanghai Beach" are releasing a competing drama at the same time as "Six Tribulations of the Floating Life", in which Leslie Cheung plays a rich kid and performs well.

The historical background of the play is Hong Kong from the 1950s to the 1970s. It tells the story of a penniless, drunk and sold his wife, how he climbed into the upper class, and how he fell from the clouds to the dust. The plot is profound, and it has a sense of warning and preaching. In fact, to describe it in a fashionable word, it is more abusive.

Although the story planner of "Six Tribulations of a Floating Life" is Xiao Ruoyuan, who is known as a master screenwriter, but in front of "Shanghai Bund" created by Tang Huan, he was directly crushed into scum, otherwise Li TV would not have been annoyed to follow the limelight of public opinion Made all kinds of taunts.

In the original time and space, taking advantage of the upsurge of "Shanghai Bund", this year TVB will launch a sequel and the third one in a row, but it is obviously impossible now. The entire copyright of "Shanghai Bund" is in the hands of Tang Huan, and the result is TVB There will be a gap of two TV series.

According to the historical development, TVB will premiere the 8-episode "Turn Around" from August this year.

The play is supervised by Gan Guoliang, Johnnie To is the director of the first five episodes, Xu Yu'an is the director of the sixth to tenth episodes, and Wong Kar Wai is his assistant director.

In terms of actors, the lineup is also strong, including Zheng Shaoqiu, Zheng Yuling, and Li Siqi, a large number of popular stars.

Such a big drama, but when it reached the 15th episode, it was scheduled to be broadcast on Saturday because the ratings were not as good as "The House of Grace from the Earth in the Pearl River" which was broadcast at the same time on Li TV. After the 22nd episode, It is even more tragic that it was taken off the shelves directly. It is the first TV series of TVB to be cut in half.

In order to restore the decline, TVB sent Johnnie To to shoot "The King of Thousand Kings" overnight, and then regained the lost ground and defeated "The Grace of the Earth".

Looking at the eager Wang Jing, Tang Huanxin said, you brought this idea to me in advance as a treasure. Do Run Run Shaw and Fang Yat-wah know about the crisis that TVB is about to face?

Even if TVB has a large number of talents and can find other TV dramas to replace them, can the effect be comparable to the historically proven original?
But in any case, there is no reason to push out good things that come to your door, right?

And it is also very interesting to make it the pioneering work of various gambling films in the future.

Being stared at by Tang Huan, Wang Jing moved her butt uneasily, "Mr. Tang, what did I do wrong?"

"No." Tang Huan laughed, "I want to take a closer look at what your brain is made of, and how you can make up such a fascinating story.

"Mr. Tang's reputation is too high." Hearing this compliment, Wang Jing immediately smiled. The other party admired him so much, obviously interested in the script.

Sure enough, Tang Huan then talked about the script.

In Tang Huan's opinion, although the outline of the story described in this script is roughly the same as the TV series in the previous life, there are still some differences, especially the ending is a bit of a happy reunion, which obviously has not been carefully crafted. The level has not been raised.

"What's the highest level of gambling?" Without waiting for Wang Jing to answer, Tang Huan continued on his own, "As the saying goes, there are no fathers and sons in casinos, so the highest level must be that the six relatives don't recognize each other. So, even if Tan Sheng gets his revenge in the end and becomes a thousand A king of kings also wants to end up alone, in a place where the heights are too cold, instead of having lovers who end up getting married. What do you think?"

In Tang Huan's view, the necessary tragic color is inevitable, so as to leave a deep impression on the audience.

Just like Alsace in the previous Blizzard game "World of Warcraft", from a prince full of justice, he gradually became inhumane, and finally sat on the Frozen Throne, becoming the Lich King with the most recognition among players .

Seeing that Tang Huan took the initiative to discuss the plot with him, Wang Jingxi was in full bloom, and he was also excited, "But the audience always expects to see a happy ending in the end."

"Can we use the emotional drama between Nanshenyan Luo Sihai and Huadan Tan Xiaotang to attract the audience, and find a pair of popular male and female stars to act, and at the end of the drama, they will go back to the rivers and lakes. This should give the audience an explanation." Tang Huan pretended expressing opinions.

Wang Jing rolled her eyes, "In this way, the requirements for the main actors in TV dramas will be higher."

"These are not problems." Tang Huan waved his hands indifferently, and continued to talk about his thoughts on the script, "One of the highlights of your story is the thousand arts, so you need to make some corresponding special effects to attract people."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan made exaggerated moves like shuffling the cards.

The "King of Thousand Kings" in the previous life was filmed overnight to rescue him. Naturally, there would be no special effects, and he could only rely on the twists and turns of the plot and popular stars to win.

But at this stage, Wang Jing didn't have so much knowledge, and was suddenly stunned by the scene described by Tang Huan, and his eyes straightened.

"It will cost a lot of money to make these special effects?" Wang Jing asked worriedly.

"Don't be intimidated by the word special effects, just think of it as tricks and magic, it won't be too difficult to find professionals in this field." Tang Huan chuckled, "Think about it, you may create a gambling As for the genre of film, don’t miss some iconic things.”

Wang Jing felt a little dizzy, so she took out a paper and took notes.

At the end of the discussion between the two, the topic naturally returned to the actors.Wang Jing asked Tang Huan for advice very cleverly, and Tang Huan was not pretentious, and directly stated the main lineup in the previous life, "Xie Xian played Luo Sihai, Wang Mingquan played Tan Xiaotang, and Ren Dahua played Tan Sheng."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan thought for a while, it seemed that his people had already made their own arrangements, and there was no need to carry private goods with this TV series.

"Initiate the project according to this standard, and discuss the details with Hu Yinmeng." Tang Huan, who had finished "learning from" addiction, waved Wang Jing away with a big hand.

Fatty smiled wryly. Xie Xian and Wang Mingquan's schedule is not so easy to get, especially the latter, who is still filming "Jinghua Chun_Dream" produced by his father.

Seeing Wang Jing's hesitation, Tang Huan warned with a sullen face, "I'm happy to pay, and you have to produce works of equal quality, so as not to ruin your reputation. No discounts are allowed on actors and other configurations. Your father's network resources in TVB are not in vain, you say so."

Wang Jing nodded again and again, speaking clearly, while thinking in her heart, I don't need you to remind me, if I wasted the chance that I finally got a high salary and obvious accumulation of qualifications, I should find a piece of tofu to bump into it. Forget it.

After Wang Jing left, Tang Huan took a look at Hu Yinmeng's office in DreamWorks, thinking that he had teased the female secretary so much that she couldn't get off the stage just now, if she still stayed here, the other party must be hiding somewhere else Faceless.

That being the case, brother went back home.So Tang Huan returned to Zheru's office through the internal passage with his hands behind his back.

According to his plan, he was going to Singapore to pay attention to the development process of the CPU, but he did not expect an invitation from Baodao.

It turned out that the Tianlong Chinese computer jointly developed by Zhu Bangfu and Acer with "Chinese operating system, Chinese programming language, and Chinese packaged software" has been declared a success, so he was invited to visit.

In the original time and space, Zhu Bangfu has been studying Chinese computers for many years, but his partners who support and agree with him have gradually left, making his plan almost impossible.

In April 1980, Zhu Bangfu and Acer officially started the cooperative development of Chinese-language computers.After five months, the research and development was finally successful.

In this time and space, Zhu Bangfu met Tang Huan, gained a lot of inspiration, and broadened his horizons. His cooperation with Acer also started shortly after the two met last year, and Tang Huan came to Shi Chongtang from Acer. , happily providing some underlying technical support.

Therefore, the Tianlong Chinese computer came out nearly half a year earlier than in the previous life.

Tang Huan didn't feel anything about the Tianlong Chinese computer whose design target was "Chinese operating system, Chinese programming language, and Chinese packaged software." forms of obstruction and suppression.

Only from the clues, Tang Huan can infer that this project is the same as the fate in the previous life, and it is a fate that is not well received.

It is impossible to accumulate technology in one step, and it is impossible to step over the stage of stumbles casually. The IT in the United States has come here by groping. Good luck, everything will be fine.

Besides, this kind of setback can instead make the parties have a clearer understanding of technology.

Naturally, these general principles do not apply to Tang Huan, a reborn person, but he only has one head and two hands, so it is impossible to replace everyone.

Just now Zhu Bangfu's tone on the phone was very excited. Tang Huan did not throw cold water on him ignorantly, and readily agreed to go to Baodao immediately.

In fact, Tang Huan had another idea in his mind. Taking advantage of the so-called success of the Tianlong Chinese computer, he would stimulate the relevant departments in the mainland to speed up the investigation of his own Chinese informatization standard plan.

As for the industry standard on Taiwan's side, it has actually been monopolized by the best-selling Fangyuan Computer.Perhaps, some insightful people have discovered this problem.
