Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 335 Gives an Excuse for War
Before Tang Huan promoted the application of Fangyuan Computer in the mainland, it cannot be said that it was not smooth. After all, he was familiar with the rules of business here, but it often took a lot of talking to impress customers.

The reason for this is the same as in the United States. Companies and institutions follow the trend, have a disdain for personal computers, and habitually praise mainframes and minicomputers.

It can be said that Fangyuan Computer has won the favor of customers step by step by virtue of its perfect support for Chinese, so the situation is somewhat passive.

After this inspection, the situation suddenly changed drastically.

The visitors greeted by that exhibition hall wave after wave, and even many units took the initiative to call to inquire about various information of Fangyuan Computer, which made Zheru Xiangjiang company too busy.

Fortunately, there is a long-term localized training foundation, and employees from mainland China quickly took up the lead.

In addition, after the call of "the popularization of computers should start with dolls" was published in various media, its impact is obvious.

Tang Huan believed that such a good situation could not be wasted, so he strengthened cooperation with the Education Committee, Science and Technology Committee, and Youth League Committee. Just like Apple computers tend to become the standard computer in the education system in the United States, the cost has been greatly reduced. The first generation of Fangyuan computers has been advanced to the extent that extracurricular interest groups in schools, children's palaces and other institutions can access it.

Even if the price is further lowered, it is still unrealistic for the first-generation Fangyuan computer to be as popular as the literal meaning of "personal computer". Now the mainland has not even reached the popularization of TV sets.

Through a centralized hardware resource platform similar to Internet cafes, people can still get in touch with this latest technological product relatively easily.

After having such a perceptual knowledge foundation, further mastery of the use of personal computers can also be completed in an "offline" state.

For example, through cardboard prints of keyboards, users can consolidate computer input skills through simulated training.

One of the technical cores of personal computers, that is, software programming, can also be finalized on paper and then debugged on a real computer.

In the era of mainframes decades ago, the use of computers in the United States was regarded as a symbol of privilege that only the elite could access. However, hardware resources were limited, and the tension when using computers did not mean that there was no foundation for computer popularization. Books were not borrowed. It is impossible to read, which stimulated the emergence of personal computers.

It is not difficult to see that the key here lies in people's subjective initiative.

Although China does not have the level of educational development and economic foundation as in the United States, the influence of software factors such as leadership appeal, hope for success, and people's yearning for knowledge after the bubble of "blank paper heroes" and "reading is useless" cannot be underestimated. , it might not be able to play a boosting role.

Of course, if we want to maintain the enthusiasm that "the popularization of computers must start with babies", we also need a long-term attraction.

Decades later in the original time and space, specialty classes such as Mathematical Olympiad were flooded, and sky-high prices for housing in school districts were common. The media attributed such phenomena to the imbalance of educational resources, but Tang Huan saw from it that people's deep thinking subjective motivational factors.

In other words, as long as the concept of learning the Fangyuan computer is hyped up to the level of the Olympiad, the popularization of computers will be driven forward spontaneously by the public.

After the plan gradually took shape in his mind, Tang Huan couldn't help laughing. He mainly wanted to make achievements, but in this way, a delicious educational cake was born. Even if China is underdeveloped, the volume is here. If you enjoy it exclusively, you may be overwhelmed. When did your merchant attribute value rise so high?

It happened that CCTV graciously requested a meeting, but it took the initiative to send a platform for hype to the door.

Jiang Zhiqiang introduced in the middle, the leader is Dai Linfeng who is in charge of the overall business, and Wang Feng and others.

At present, the organizational structure of CCTV is not very clear, there is no official director of the station, and Dai Linfeng, who is over sixty years old, can be regarded as the director in the actual sense.

When shaking hands, Tang Huan took a special look at Wang Feng. According to the historical development, next year he will take over as the director of the station, and his daughter Wang Xuechun will be the famous host of CCTV in the future.

In fact, the current team of CCTV is not easy. It needs to satisfy the leaders and the audience. At the same time, it also wants to express its personal ambitions. Coupled with limited funds, it can only be described as a series of "difficulties".

A major shortcoming of CCTV at present is the lack of program resources. In the past, it relied on the support of movies and major art troupes. Obviously, it can no longer adapt to the development trend of TV programs.

As early as 1979, Dai Linfeng personally led a team to Hong Kong to purchase films, and introduced American TV series for the first time in the history of Chinese TV. people".

The appearance of the protagonist Mike wearing sunglasses in the play has influenced many Chinese youths, making sunglasses popular in mainland China, and some people even directly call it "Mike Mirror".

It can be seen from this that in terms of culture and entertainment, China is now powerless to resist.

Another TV series "Garrisons Gorillas" introduced by CCTV-"Garrison Expendables" made this weak position more and more obvious.

"The Man From the Bottom of the Atlantic" was a television series that aired on NBC from 1977 to 1978, while "The Expendables Garrison" was a radio drama that aired on ABC in 1967 and aired on Formosa in 1968. TV broadcasts in the original audio.

The story it tells is that Lieutenant Garrison of the U.S. Army and a group of death squads selected by him from the prison, composed of hooligans, thieves, robbers, murderers and other prisoners, executed in Europe at the end of World War II. Task.

Due to poor ratings when it premiered in the United States in 1967, Garrison's Expendables was only produced for one season.

The result is such a TV series that can be said to be very old. It was translated by Shanghai_Shanghai Film Translation Studio.

However, after the 15th episode was broadcast, CCTV interrupted the broadcast of the last 11 episodes. The reason was: "When this 26-episode series was broadcast halfway, it was considered to be a purely entertainment film of fighting and nonsense, with little artistic value. And off the air."

The bottom line is that CCTV does not have its own original TV series, so people who are rare and strange have no resistance to foreign culture, no matter whether it is good or untimely elements, and accept them all.

It is precisely because of this that Dai Linfeng tried to produce the first TV series in mainland China - "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp", which cost a total of 18 yuan and was broadcast in BJ, Lushan and Jiujiang. , Han_kou, Fujian and other places were filmed for 10 days.

Naturally, when this 9-episode TV series was broadcast on CCTV during the Spring Festival in 1981, it also received a lot of attention.

However, due to time constraints and incomplete costumes and props, the shooting effect was not satisfactory after patchwork.

Moreover, the protagonist in the play used beauty tricks to obtain information, and the scene where the female spy personnel of the National Army got out of the quilt and exposed her bare shoulders caused controversy.

Although the debut of CCTV's first work is not perfect, it has taken a breakthrough first step after all, and the significance can be described as far-reaching.

After the director Wang Fulin returned from his investigation in the UK, he mentioned that the British adaptation of Shakespeare's plays was very popular and welcomed by audiences all over the world.

As a result, these words touched Dai Linfeng, who set his sights on China's own literary classics and planned to film a TV series of "A Dream of Red Mansions", the first of the Four Great Classics, but faced many difficulties.

For example, red academic circles have always been controversial. First of all, it is difficult to adapt the script. No matter how you write it, you will be scolded.

In the original time and space, the first TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" in mainland China, from November 1981, CCTV held a special meeting on the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions" into a TV series, specializing in the study of adaptation issues, and when the script was drafted in March 11, it took a lot of time. It's been more than a year and you can see how difficult it is.

Therefore, Dai Linfeng and others, who knew that Tang Huan had entertainment industries in Hollywood and Hong Kong, were not just looking for richer sources of programs as Tang Huan had guessed, but they wanted a lot more.

But even if he knew that Dai Linfeng's plans were not small, Tang Huan would not take it for granted. He admired people who were down-to-earth and did practical things. At least, the people in CCTV were much better than those who did nothing or did nothing.

After the two parties exchanged pleasantries, they naturally first mentioned the upcoming TV series "Huo Yuanjia". Dai Linfeng and others couldn't stop praising, because CCTV has never been so happy with spending money on things. The key to the wonderful work is the creative concept It is very in line with the current situation.

Everyone can fully predict that after "Fearless" is broadcast, the leaders must be satisfied, the audience will buy it, and their work will be affirmed.

"Only the Chinese can best understand the essence of their own culture, and it is only natural to come up with good works that can resonate." Tang Huan smiled slightly.

The current mainland can be said to be a desert of culture and entertainment, and it belongs to the stage where everything is delicious. The sensation caused by "Fearless" here is destined to be greater than that on Baodao.

"That's true, so CCTV has been working hard to develop original TV series." Dai Linfeng nodded approvingly, and said the first goal of the meeting, "We not only hope to get better program sources from Mr. Tang, We also hope to deepen cooperation with each other, after all, CCTV is still in its infancy in terms of original TV dramas."

"Stay true to what you want, but don't dare to ask for your ears." Tang Huan dragged the text in a low profile, and then laughed, "If CCTV can advertise my Fangyuan computer, the cooperation will definitely be further strengthened, such as TV drama shooting Funding."

Dai Linfeng looks humorous and friendly on the surface, but he is very responsible in his heart. Many of the first breakthroughs in CCTV's operation are the result of his final decision, which also came from the revolutionary era The boldness that a character possesses.

Therefore, regarding Tang Huan's very obvious aggressive method, Dai Linfeng also made a straightforward statement, "Don't tell me, I really dare to make an exception to accept this advertising business. CCTV has broadcast the news that the heads of state went to visit. It still makes sense to help introduce it for a fee.”

Hearing this, Tang Huan raised his brows with joy, raised his thumb and praised: "Responsible, straightforward enough, too tempered, I will invite you for lunch."

"It turns out that Mr. Tang didn't plan to take care of the meal." Dai Linfeng's joke caused everyone present to laugh knowingly.

Since Dai Linfeng dares to take risks in advertising, it is natural that Tang Huan plans to create a puzzle variety show to hype Fangyuan Computer for a long time.

Sure enough, Dai Linfeng readily agreed after exchanging opinions with Wang Feng and others next to him.

CCTV's current broadcast content not only lacks TV dramas, but also does not provide rich program categories. They can unexpectedly get a scarce variety show that is almost free, and they naturally have the courage to take it on. What's more, this simple puzzle program, even if it wants to trigger Controversy isn’t easy either.

Dai Linfeng and others, who found the long-term program suppliers, business cooperation, and even sponsorship funds they wanted, were sent to their arms unexpectedly. Dai Linfeng and others, who were in a good mood, were very generous when they were drinking at the dinner table.

"I heard that Mr. Tang is looking for a place to set up a film and television base in Yanjing?" Dai Linfeng asked at a moment's notice.

"This plan has basically been stranded, and there are many inconveniences under the feet of the emperor." Tang Huan replied with a slight frown, "I am building a film and television base in Shanghai, but some northern landscape needs must be solved in the north, and I have already begun to consider it. The location was chosen in another province."

"Mr. Tang's handwriting is really extraordinary." Dai Linfeng gave a thumbs up in admiration. He was [-]% sure that Boss Tang was not as simple as being rich, and his ability to handle affairs in the mainland was even more extraordinary. , and this is exactly the help I need to find.

Although the filming of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" has not yet been written off, Dai Linfeng has already expected that this project is not a general waste of money. For example, the scene of the Grand View Garden is an essential element.

If I can get some work done, the filming plan for "Dream of Red Mansions" will undoubtedly be greatly accelerated, and the golden Tang Huan is the best benefactor.

"Actually, it is possible to build a project similar to a film and television base in Yanjing. I have a suggestion." Dai Linfeng said.

Not to mention Tang Huan's shrewdness, but the information asymmetry advantage he possessed allowed him to quickly understand what Dai Linfeng was actually selling.

To be honest, Tang Huan was not very interested in the Grand View Garden project.

However, the leadership of CCTV, represented by Dai Linfeng, is very cooperative in the plan to hype Fangyuan Computer, and he is not embarrassed to save face, and it is reasonable to support him casually.

The cooperation between the two parties is full of sincerity, and the meeting naturally ended happily.

But after receiving a call from Zhou Mi from Xiangjiang, Tang Huan's happy mood was inevitably affected.

He sneered and said into the microphone: "If you fail, just fail. It's no big deal. It just gives you an excuse to start a war in the future."
