Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 278 An Alternative Entertainment Industry Force
"You have brought so many important investors to the special zone, the leaders there are already very moved." Zhou Mi joked while picking out a document for Tang Huan to read.

Indeed, Epson's printers, Sharp's monitors and even TV sets, Levi's jeans, Hasbro's toys... can be said to come in droves, not to mention that the officials in charge of investment promotion in the special zone were stunned by the pie falling from the sky. The top management was also shaken.

The first industry Tang Huan invested in was the Baleno brand clothing factory run by Zhao Yazhi, followed by production lines such as data backup tape machines and magnetic tapes, and digital fax machines.

After such a long period of hard work, the production base of the first-generation Fangyuan computer has finally been fully completed.

The application of high technology has a certain lag, which is an objective situation that must be faced squarely.

In the original time and space, even in the mid-1980s, personal computers using 8-bit CPUs still had a large market in Europe.

The fiercely competitive U.S. market was led by IBM into the era of 16-bit personal computers. However, after Big Blue launched the 16-bit 286 personal computer, it became somewhat complacent.

Intel launched its first 1985-bit CPU, the 32, in 80386. In 1987, Compaq, an IBM-PC compatible manufacturer, took the lead in launching the 32-bit 386 personal computer, making a gorgeous counterattack and taking over the CPU market. IBM's location.

From this timeline, it is not difficult to see the lag in commercial use.

In this time and space, objective conditions cannot undergo decisive changes.

Outside of the US market, 8-bit PCs will remain popular for a while, especially in underdeveloped regions where price is often the deciding factor.

Therefore, the first-generation Fangyuan computer production line still has good vitality.

Putting down the documents, Tang Huan shook his head with emotion. The Special Economic Zone is indeed a treasure land for investment, with extremely attractive human resource costs and preferential tax conditions...

I just seized the opportunity when others still had doubts, but this exemplary Shun Shui favor is not ordinary.

"Your trip to the mainland in the second half of the year has been confirmed, but according to what you mean, you are all a family. There is no need to be so hypocritical. The big gift package will be sent out in advance before departure." Zhou Mi laughed and quoted Tang Huan's creation of " Big gift bag" noun.

Tang Huan smiled slightly after reading the information, "I'm probably returning home after a good job."

"However, the family members have repeatedly told you that it is better to keep a low profile. You have a criminal record." Zhou Mi reminded at the right time.

Tang Huan nodded noncommittally, "These are hard resources that are urgently needed by the mainland. I also want to do some articles on soft resources such as TV series and movies. Have I found relevant people to investigate?"

"We're still in contact and going through procedures. Everyone in this field has always been more cautious." Zhou Mi smiled wryly.

After the two talked for a while about the secret moves in the Xiangjiang investment market, Zhou Weikun and other personnel also participated in the work report.

There were basically no major problems. The only thing that made Tang Huan dumbfounded was that the development team of the video game "Peerless Twins" encountered a serious setback.

When developing the first Chinese-language video game "Dragon Babu: Six Meridians Sword", Tang Huan almost gave nanny guidance, but when it came time to develop "Peerless Twins", he wanted to train the team. , Cultivate the mind of the team, and start herding sheep, and the entire development team is full of confidence.

As a result, he wanted to add any good idea to the game, especially Gu Long would occasionally come to him to give advice, which eventually caused the entire project, from the perspective of software engineering, to lose its direction and scale out of control.

Tang Huan rubbed the center of his brows, and encouraged him gently, "It's okay, the company can still afford the loss, learn from the lesson, and start over."

The person in charge of the project team blushed and agreed in a low voice, not because he was shy, but because Zheru Xiangjiang Company was dragged down by investing in the mainland market, but it was an invincible existence in Xiangjiang. This failure record of his team , it’s so conspicuous that even when you go to the cafeteria to eat, you can feel the strange looks.

In the final analysis, Zheru Xiangjiang Company has gathered a large number of high-quality young talents, and the competitive atmosphere is very strong.

In particular, many people are still thinking about how to find girlfriends in DreamWorks and Media Asia TV, so the importance of face is becoming more and more prominent.

Seeing that his old high-tech business was as stable as Mount Tai, Tang Huan waved his hands in satisfaction, announced the end of the meeting, and planned to inspect his entertainment industry next.

Zhou Mi reminded with a strange expression, "You'd better make some mental preparations. DreamWorks is now in the power of a group of strong women, and it's really uncomfortable to be out of nowhere."

"Why, is it special?" Tang Huan couldn't help being curious.

"In private, everyone feels this way." Zhou Mi nodded seriously.

……

When Tang Huan arrived at Hu Yinmeng's office in DreamWorks, he found something different. There were many well-known women who had made great achievements in Xiangjiang's entertainment industry, such as Yu Teng, Xu Anhua, Lin Yanni, Shi Nansheng and others. It's like having a tea party.

Tang Huanxin said that Hu Yinmeng was quite capable of attracting people, and none of these women's soldiers were free.

Tang Huan is quite clear about the business relationship between DreamWorks and these people.

Because in last year's movie "Cheers", Paul Chung had an intimate scene, but it was actually not too much.

However, Xiangjiang Commercial Station was afraid of affecting the image of its artists, so Yu Cheng, as the director, expressed dissatisfaction.

As for the young and vigorous Paul Zhong, who had had trouble with his boss before, he simply resigned from Xiangjiang TV and went to DreamWorks to make TV series for Media Asia TV.

Fortunately, all parties involved in this incident maintained a restrained attitude, and it did not cause any negative impact. Paul Chung continued filming the movie "Unemployed" with Chen Baiqiang and Leslie Cheung as usual.

Therefore, Hu Yinmeng and Yu Cheng have never known each other without fighting.

The relationship between DreamWorks and Xu Anhua is relatively deep. In the upcoming movie "The Story of Hu Yue", not only DreamWorks artist Zhong Chuhong played the leading role, but DreamWorks also participated in the investment.

Lin Yanni is an old acquaintance, and Tang Huan specially instructed Hu Yinmeng to win Shi Nansheng.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Ke may not be able to make movies with peace of mind without Shi Nansheng, a virtuous housemate who does the logistics work well, including "The True Colors of a Hero", "The Sword of the Horse", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Huang Feihong" and so on. Among other things, the movie that was both popular and popular came from the period when the two established a husband-and-wife film studio.

According to the historical development, in 1982, that is, next year, Shi Nansheng joined New Art City and became the administrative director.

It is not difficult to see that it is the most economical way to contact Xu Ke, a person of great character, through the link of Shi Nansheng.

There are some corners that still need to be dug out. Although Xu Ke is still a director who is well-received but not popular, the movie "Ghost, Horse, Wisdom and Stars" will be released soon, and his image will naturally change by then.

From this point of view, DreamWorks' way of operating power in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry is really a bit different-the pillow style route.

After turning this thought in his mind, Tang Huan couldn't help smiling, stood at the door, waved his hands, and said, "Go ahead, I won't bother you anymore."

Seeing that Tang Huan was about to turn around and leave, Hu Yinmeng said quickly: "I asked Le Yiling to show you the documents of last quarter. The performance was good."

Seeing Hu Yinmeng's happy look, Tang Huan followed her wishes and was led to another office.

Compared with last year's various investments, although DreamWorks has increased the burden of artists originally belonging to the TV station this year, its income has indeed increased significantly.

This is partly due to Tang Huan's growing relationship with Singapore's top executives. Many TV series were quickly bought by TV stations in Singapore and Malaysia, and TVB was no longer able to monopolize this market.

Dreamworks remains cautious in its film operations, and there are the most uncertain factors in it. Among them, "Applause", which was independently invested, did well at the box office, and the same type of "Unemployed", the results can be predicted accordingly.

On a temporary basis, I introduced "Love Killing" into the French film industry, and achieved an achievement of hundreds of thousands of viewers, which can be called a good performance, but it is a special case after all.

The main operation method of DreamWorks is to participate in part of the investment like "The Story of Hu Yue", and at the same time recommend its own artists to play roles.

Like TV dramas, the record business is very optimistic. Zhang Delan, who is a female singer, is becoming popular, and TV station artists also release records from time to time.

More importantly, DreamWorks' infiltration of Hongkong Polygram is proceeding silently, and the effect is quite promising.

As for comics, they are the most explosive. "Chinese Heroes", "Drunken Master", and "Tathagata Palm" have been published one after another. If this trend continues, Huang Yulang is likely to be left with "Dragon Tiger Gate". Gnawed.

After looking at the current overall situation of DreamWorks, Tang Huan understood. No wonder Hu Yinmeng, a female literary youth, would put down her reserve to claim credit.

"I remember the TV series "When IQ Mature" has been aired, right? How was the response?" Tang Huan put down the document and asked.

"When IQ Mature" is a fashionable youth love TV series with a total of 20 episodes. The actors include Cai Fenghua, Zhong Paulo, Zhuang Jing'er, Cha Paulo, Mok Shaocong and others.

In the original time and space, "When IQ Mature" was very popular after it was broadcast, and became one of Xiangjiang's classic dramas.

Tang Huan feels that in this time and space, the performance of "IQ Mature" should be equally good, and it can attract more young audiences for DreamWorks and Media Asia TV.

Sure enough, Le Yiling smiled and nodded, "It was very popular. At that time, TVB had just finished broadcasting "A Thousand Kings and Heroes", and Media Asia TV immediately launched "When IQ Mature", and the ratings were not lower than the other party."

Speaking of this, Le Yiling found out the videotape of the first episode, and joked, "Mr. Tang, would you like to watch it? We usually record some programs to summarize our experience."

Tang Huan asked for the video tape with the Sony mark and looked at it carefully, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Seeing this, Le Yiling couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, "Although this product is high-end, it's not enough to be noticed by a dignified billionaire."

"Play it for me to see how the image quality is." Tang Huan ordered after returning the video tape to Le Yiling.

"How about the image quality?" After hearing this, Le Yiling became even more puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and operated the video recorder honestly.

After admiring it for a while, Tang Huan sighed to himself, "Japan's technology is really at the forefront."

Le Yiling pretended to stare at the TV intently, and at the same time sighed secretly. The boss's mind is really different from ordinary people. I still haven't figured out what he is thinking.

"Pause." Tang Huan said suddenly, which startled Le Yiling.

At this time, the plot of "When IQ Mature" progressed to three boys including Paul Zhong, who were looking for schools to enroll in the preparatory class of the sixth form.

As a result, they were blocked by a student union president at an boys' school, forcing them to join the association and accept protection.

Therefore, people like Zhong Baoluo were very scared, desperate, and finally chose to enroll in the Saint Laurent English Academy and became boys in a girls' school.

Tang Huan stared at the student who claimed to be the president of the student union and had a gangster background for a long time, and finally confirmed in surprise that the guest actor was the famous Zhou Xingchi in the original time and space.

Xiangjiang is really small, some people will always appear in front of him on his own initiative, and I don't know if he has entered TVB's artist training class.

"Is this actor signed to DreamWorks?" Tang Huan chuckled intriguingly, then pointed to the TV screen and asked.

"Probably not. His surname seems to be Zhou, and he is just a special actor. He used to work as a part-time office assistant in Li's TV." Le Yiling tried hard to recall, and answered slowly.

"Your work ability is outstanding. It's really rare that such a small person can leave an impression." Tang Huan glanced at Le Yiling appreciatively and said to himself, no wonder she was able to manage more than 800 artists at TVB in the original time and space.

"This is what it should be." Le Yiling was overjoyed to be praised by the big boss herself, but she was still humble verbally.

"Contact this person and try to sign him." Tang Huan finally began to order.

Seeing Le Yiling's bitter expression, he reminded, "If you really can't get in touch, you might as well go to TVH's artist training class to try your luck."

Le Yiling nodded in agreement and prayed in her heart that it would be best to find this person's information in the company. Otherwise, it would be a lot of trouble. After all, this is the person appointed by the boss.

"That's it, don't watch the videotape." Tang Huan has already had a direct impression of Sony's video recorder product, and Tang Huan doesn't intend to continue enjoying it. "By the way, when will "Fearless" be available?"

"According to the plan, it will be ready at the end of May or early June." Le Yiling replied with all the details.

At this time, Xiao Sheng came over.After seeing Tang Huan, his face was even more pleasantly surprised, "I have a new script, and I would like to ask Mr. Tang to give me some pointers in his busy schedule."

Le Yiling chuckled and asked, "Uncle Sheng, is your script finished?"

"I have changed it completely according to Ms. Hu's request. It seems that some of my ideas really need to keep pace with the times." Xiao Sheng replied convincingly.

"So eager to come up with a new work, 20 episodes of "Ping Zong Xia Video Record" is not enough for you?" Tang Huan joked, took a glance at the script, the name is "Martial Arts Emperor Daughter Flower".

"If you have the energy to spare, just do more things, so that you can live up to Mr. Tang's kindness." Xiao Sheng smiled lightly.

Naturally, he would not say clearly that he had heard that Xu Xiaoming had already thought up a sequel when he was filming "Fearless", so he launched a new work unwilling to be inferior to others.

"The original plan was for 50 episodes, but Ms. Hu said that it is already the 1980s, the audience's preferences have changed, and even the pace of life has obviously become faster. The script should be more compact. I deeply agree, Then it was readjusted to 40 episodes."
Xiao Sheng, like Wang Tianlin, is very old-fashioned. He didn't rely on the old to sell the old, because his script was dictated by a young girl and his mentality was out of balance. On the contrary, he quickly made corresponding changes.

In fact, DreamWorks' alternative in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry has become increasingly apparent.

The boss, Tang Huan, is simply a dragon who sees the beginning but does not see the end. All affairs are pushed to the vice president, Hu Yinmeng.Naturally, the names of DreamWorks and Hu Yinmeng have been linked together by more and more troublemakers. After all, they both have the word "dream", and Hu Yinmeng's maverick female Wenqing style has gradually become more popular. Well known.

This talented woman does not rely on out-of-the-ordinary remarks to gain limelight, but only with erudite cultivation, incisive insights and aloof temperament, she has made all kinds of literati and poets bow their heads.

The main writers of the manga department, the behind-the-scenes personnel who originally belonged to the TV station... and others within the sphere of influence of DreamWorks can be called the largest group of believers who are the first to be shrouded in this halo.

Xiao Sheng obediently went back to revise the script. Not only did no one comment on it, but it was regarded as normal.

With Mei Xiaoqing, Wang Xinwei, and Le Yiling holding real power, Liu Jiahao and Li Zhaoxiong are rich according to their wives, and Le Yiling has become the target of many so-called young talents, but it is easy to be "cold" Infected, so they all got rejected.

All of these can explain how this phenomenon that will be called "goddess" in the future is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It is true that Xiangjiang is a patriarchal society, but it believes in the supremacy of success, so all kinds of strange tolerance abound, strange women, talented women... appear on stage from time to time.

In the original time and space, there were a few talented women and famous speakers such as Shi Nansheng, Lin Yanni, Bai Yunqin, Dina, and Yu Cheng who dared to act and were recognized as talented women in Hong Kong. The people talked about them and exerted great influence. It cannot be underestimated.

Therefore, the strength and stability of Hu Yinmeng's leadership in DreamWorks are beyond the imagination of outsiders, and there is a bit of idolatry in it.
