Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 296 A Coincidental Encounter with the Crew of "Shaolin Temple"

Uncle Meng Qingguan and grandfather's secretary Zhou Zhong made a special trip from Yanjing to Shanghai to welcome Tang Huan.

I always heard from my wife that Tang Huan had undergone a lot of experience outside in the past few years, and his whole person had changed a lot. Meng Qingguan was extremely prepared in his heart.

But after the meeting, he still couldn't help being a little surprised. Just because of the condensed and steady manner of the other party, and the ease of talking and laughing, there is a huge distance between him and the boy back then.

If it weren't for the resemblance between his eyebrows and his secretary Zhou Zhong's greeting, Meng Qingguan would not have dared to recognize him.

In fact, Tang Huan is the nephew and grandson of his father-in-law, and his status is special because he has received special favor, but if he continues to develop like this, he will not be able to get rid of the shadow of relying on the protection of the family.

Unexpectedly, after going out for a few years, he has already formed his own school.

Pressing down the thoughts in his heart, Meng Qingguan held Tang Huan's hand, shook it vigorously a few times, and laughed loudly, "Good boy, you are very promising now."

With his own family in front of him, Tang Huan felt very cordial, and chatted very casually.

After getting in the car, he waved his hand and said carelessly: "Tell me something quickly, so as not to forget later, my top priority now is to travel to Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places."

"Aren't you staying in Shanghai to participate in economic and cultural exchange activities?" Zhou Zhong was taken aback for a moment, "I thought you were keeping a low profile, so you deliberately kept a secret."

Meng Qingguan glanced at Deng Lijun who was sitting quietly beside Tang Huan calmly. There were some things that the family knew better.

Moreover, his daughter is a small fan of Deng Lijun. Every time he goes on a business trip, the husband and wife will be forced to bring some tapes, records and the like back home. They are already familiar with this singer.

What audacity, Meng Qingguan sighed in his heart, and understood Tang Huan's real purpose of keeping a low profile.

"There is only one thing I want to ask you for, and that is to ask for money." Meng Qingguan laughed, and said unceremoniously: "Who made you so good at doing business, and you can use the money at ease."

"No problem." Tang Huan nodded generously, "First, you can use the RMB in the domestic account to spend. If it is not enough, I will transfer US dollars in from outside."

At present, Fangyuan Computer's entire system is almost a unique business in the mainland, and it has accumulated a lot of profits.

If it was other foreign companies, they would have already transferred out and exchanged them into US dollars for their own pockets, but Tang Huan did not do that and kept them in the mainland.

To put it grandly, it means that the reborn want to do some practical things for their compatriots and increase some employment opportunities for ordinary people; to say that it is a bit of a philistine, it is to use practical actions to show their attitude towards doing business to the mainland high-level, and to pursue long-term stable returns. A grab-and-go speculator.

But the problem is that there are very few investment channels now. Tang Huan, who knows that the environment in the initial stage of reform and opening up is still complicated, doesn't want to make a fuss, so the money can only lie in the account and wait for opportunities.

Now that Meng Qingguan and Zhou Zhong are here to attract investment, it means that there is an allowed channel, so let's spend it. Anyway, it is basically an exclusive transaction. As long as the management is in place, it is difficult to lose money.

And from a long-term perspective, it might be a kind of staking.

"There are more and more foreign exchanges now, but the supply of high-standard reception hotels as a window is in short supply. After the old man saw this problem reflected in Shanghai City, he hoped that you can build a hotel in Shanghai City like the investment in Zhongguancun .” Zhou Zhong said the request directly.

"This matter is easy to handle, and I already have experience." Tang Huan lifted his spirits, "It's just like the Zhongguancun side, which incidentally built an office building for my company. If there is a need in Yangcheng, it can be handled in the same way."
"Are you so rich and powerful now?" Meng Qingguan was dumbfounded when he heard it.

"Don't worry so much, you just need to spend money." Tang Huan snapped his fingers, "By the way, little uncle, you didn't come without a mission, right?"

"Hotel construction is ultimately an investment, but I came here purely to ask you for alms." Meng Qingguan smiled slightly and lowered his voice, "Isn't your brother-in-law working at the grassroots level in a county, where financial difficulties make it impossible to do anything. He ran up and down very hard to find funds. Your aunt felt distressed, so she asked me to ask you for some donations behind your grandfather's back."

"It's also very simple. At worst, I will ask my uncle to buy a drink to express it." Speaking of this, Tang Huan couldn't help but look forward to it.Although there is a gap in seniority, my uncle is actually only a few years older than me. The time they spent together, I miss it very much now.

"Don't just talk about it." Zhou Zhong changed the subject and urged, "You are an expert in investment, and our vision is far inferior. If you have any investment ideas, you might as well say it and see if it is feasible. Space."

"My current industry consists of two major industries, computers and entertainment." Tang Huan pondered for a moment, "Computers have basically entered the right track, and entertainment is still in communication. DreamWorks in Xiangjiang has many high-quality TV dramas. At present, Zhou Mi has already negotiated with Nanyue TV Station. However, the contact with the film has not yet started."

"Shanghai City has quite a status in the film industry, and the exchange activities organized by the Shennong Foundation this time will include this field." Meng Qingguan asked casually.

Seeing Tang Huan nodding, Meng Qingguan chuckled, "In this case, then you should continue to use your rich man's housekeeping ability-spending money, and establish a relationship with sincerity first. You go and play with peace of mind, my boss and I In the past few days, Zhou will walk around Shanghai for you."

Tang Huan nodded slightly. The mainland has never stopped exploring the path of reform and opening up.There is nothing unusual about special events.Therefore, his expectations are still great.

……

In order to avoid accidents, Zhou Mi and Meng Qingguan carefully arranged for Tang Huan's escorts, and repeatedly told these people to keep tight-lipped about the itinerary and be cautious when taking pictures.

Regarding this, Tang Huan felt that they were too nervous, but he was careful not to make a big mistake, so he didn't speak out against it, and he didn't care about the extra expenditure.

The historical background and various landscapes of Jiangnan are well known to the world.Many places listed as key cultural relics protection areas are preserved in their original form.

There is no industrial pollution after many years, no deliberately created crowds, and no imitation buildings that continue to linger...

Tang Huan, who originally planned to accompany Deng Lijun to find inspiration, unknowingly became intoxicated by the scenery of lakes and mountains he saw.

On this day, a group of people lingered in the Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake.

Listening to the well-informed Tang Huan's witty explanations, Deng Lijun, who has been fully open in body and mind these days, looks more and more energetic, and Gu Kong joked, "I think you are also very competent if you change your career to be a tour guide. .”

"If you hadn't given enough tips at night, I wouldn't have worked so hard." Tang Huan laughed in a low voice.

"I can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." Deng Lijun was teased so that her cheeks became hot, and she quickly cast her gaze into the distance, and then said in surprise: "There seems to be a film crew over there."

"The scenery here is so beautiful. Isn't it normal to have a film crew come to film?" The lazy Tang Huan replied indifferently. He was already thinking about whether it is possible to buy a real estate here.

"I don't know what it's like to be filming here, let's go and see." Deng Lijun, who was curious, took Tang Huan's hand and shook it several times.

"It's really you. Under the influence of the beautiful scenery these days, you are almost rejuvenated." Tang Huan shook his head helplessly.

"Now you think I'm old." Deng Lijun gave Tang Huan a dissatisfied look.

"I'm talking about mentality." Tang Huan explained, dumbfounded.

The two-day tour gave him a desire to calm down and cultivate his body, but Deng Lijun, who was always gentle and quiet, became lively and active instead.

……

The crew was filming a costume drama. Several actors shaved their heads and dressed up as monks. They also watched props and martial arts scenes.

After a few glances, Tang Huan couldn't help raising his brows, because he saw a familiar face. Although the other person was still very young, it should be Li Lianjie.

Calculated according to the time, isn't this crew filming the movie "Shaolin Temple"?But the question is, why did they come to Hangzhou?

After contemplating for a moment, Tang Huan felt that this might have something to do with the shooting background of "Shaolin Temple".

Now the Shaolin Temple on the other side of Songshan Mountain should still be one meter high with barren grass and half of the statues collapsed.In order to show the great rivers and mountains, it is natural to choose another location for shooting.

Tang Huan glanced at Li Lianjie, who was agile and agile, and looked at the others, Tang Huan was thoughtful.

Now that people have started work, would it be boring to take the initiative to raise money at this time? ,

But there is one thing that shouldn't be bad. Before the movie is released, try to poach people and make sure you don't lose money.

"Judging from the accents of some people, this crew should be from Xiangjiang." After realizing that it was not a local style, Deng Lijun immediately lost interest.

"Okay, don't disturb others, let's go elsewhere." Tang Huan smiled playfully, took Deng Lijun's hand, and left the scene.

……

Tang Huan couldn't help frowning when he heard the commission to find out the details of "Shaolin Temple".

It turns out that this film is the work of Xiangjiang Leftist Film Company, and the key is that it has been given a special mission.

As early as the beginning of 1979 at the meeting of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, Song Zhenhua, the manager of the China Travel Agency in Hen Province at the time, suggested to Liao Yiyuan, the head of Xinlian Film Company, to go to Henan to shoot some documentaries and films in order to promote Henan. South tourism situation, and recommended the Shaolin Temple.

So at the beginning of 1980, Xinlian Film Company sent Liu Fang, Chen Wen, Lin Bingkun, etc. to Zheng_zhou to prepare the film "Shaolin Temple".The director chosen by the producer is Chen Wen.

In accordance with Xiangjiang's habit of making kung fu movies, the full set of actors are selected from the Beijing Opera Troupe of Hen Province.

Unfortunately, after spending 40 Hong Kong dollars, the sample produced could not satisfy the production company.

Liao Yiyuan made a report to Liao Chengzhi, who was in charge of Hong Kong and Macau affairs of the State Council, and instructed that the Chinese-funded film companies in Hong Kong should use this theme to fight for an economic and image turnaround, and use this to open up the Japanese martial arts film market.

For this reason, in 1981, "Central Plains Film Production Company" was jointly established by Xiangjiang "Great Wall Film Production Company" and "Xinlian Film Company" to shoot "Shaolin Temple", and Zhang Xinyan, a famous director of Great Wall Film Production Company, took over the filming. Directed "Shaolin Temple".

In other words, two versions of the movie "Shaolin Temple" were made. The first one was shot because it was not satisfied.

The crew that Tang Huan saw was shooting the second version. All the actors participating in the martial arts in the film were selected by Zhang Xinyan from professional martial arts athletes.

It is very difficult to make a move for such a registered movie.

However, the cultural and tourism benefits brought by "Shaolin Temple" after its release can only be described as immeasurable. Naturally, if this general trend is well utilized, it will undoubtedly promote the influence of its own brand in the mainland.

"I've already contacted you to meet with famous people in the film industry. Many people's words are quite influential in the leadership and will definitely help you in the mainland's film market layout." Meng Qingguan, who came to deliver the materials, met Tang Huan groaned for a while, and then slowly opened his mouth, "How about I also contact someone for the crew of "Shaolin Temple"?"

Tang Huan flipped through the documents and slowly formed a plan in his mind.

"Little uncle, haven't you always encouraged me to invest, but now I have an idea, let's see if it is feasible." Tang Huan, who had made up his mind, frowned.

"First of all, I plan to build a film and television base in Shanghai to provide convenience for everyone to film." Tang Huan counted on his fingers, "Secondly, I am very optimistic about the movie "Shaolin Temple". As long as it is released, it will definitely create a huge impact. Cultural and tourism benefits, I am willing to invest in related aspects to do my part.”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan showed a tacit expression on his face, "This job should be easy to achieve political achievements. If someone is willing to take the lead, they can operate it."

"I haven't seen you in a few years. Your changes in all aspects are simply a qualitative leap." Meng Qingguan said with emotion, "Your plan has taken into account stakeholders. It is not ordinary bold and careful."

"This is all a skill honed in the mall, so don't worry about it too much, little uncle." Tang Huan laughed, then changed the subject, took out a page and shook it, "The first Golden Rooster Awards are about to open Ah, there is no similar level of awards in Xiangjiang, so I think I will be stimulated."

There is a smile in Tang Huan's eyes. According to the historical development, next year, the three major awards in the Chinese film industry - the Mainland Golden Rooster Award, the Hong Kong Film Awards, and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards will be in place and perform their duties.

In this way, he has a clear standard for acting in the entertainment industry.
