Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 380 The Miraculous Next Generation

The reason why the founders of Orion Production Company were able to make rapid achievements after going it alone, in addition to their own outstanding ability, is largely due to the fact that they worked with various famous actors, directors, screenwriters, Producer, singer forged a good relationship.

Including John Travolta—John Travolta, Barbra Streisand—Barbra Streisand, James Caan—James Jian, Jane Fonda—Jane Fonda, Peter Sellers—Peter Sellers , Jon Voight - Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds - Bute Reynolds, Burt Reynolds - Blake Edwards, John Milius - John Milius, Francis Ford Coppola - Francis Ford Coppola Hollywood powerhouses such as Paula and others have signed contracts with Orion Production Company and even become directors.

In Tang Huan's view, these resources originally belonged to his own United Artists, but the former owner of United Artists, Pan American, did not handle its relationship with Hollywood properly, so they were poached by these executives who left.

From the perspective of those in power who have capital, none of these money-making tools is indispensable, and everyone can turn around without leaving the earth. However, Tang Huan's painstaking efforts in Hollywood are not purely for making money. More valuable than tangible money.

Therefore, after hearing the lions of the founders of Orion Production Company open their mouths, Tang Huan only made a joke, and immediately agreed, and asked someone to bring a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

Including Eric Preskov, who was mainly in charge of the negotiation process, the founder team of Orion Productions was overwhelmed by Tang Huan's atmosphere, and there were no conditions to talk about in the future. Silicon Valley broke out. The behavior of the household made it impossible for everyone to interrupt.

But don't think that Tang Huan's money is so easy to spend. When everything was settled and the valid documents were obtained, he quietly started to play tricks.

For the founder team of Orion Production Company, Tang Huan respects and is enthusiastic as always, but when it comes to the specific personal level, he shows a certain degree of intimacy, that is, the young and strong group among them has been obviously favored.

In particular, Mike Medavoy, who had been the senior vice president of United Artists since the 1970s, was repeatedly summoned by Tang Huan individually and handed over to him the acquisition of Filmways requested by Orion.

There are even rumors that this Jewish man born in Shanghai, China in 1941 will soon succeed Andy Albert, who is over sixty years old, as the president of United Artists.

Andy Albert, who had long been promised by Tang Huan that he would be promoted to the chairman of the board of directors of Yanle Entertainment Group, watched with cold eyes the founder team of Orion Productions who ate a big sweet date, and quickly changed from the previous grouping to the current division , couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "You are also a lot of age, but you are still a little naive."

While Tang Huan quickly wiped out the Orion production company, and even competed with Warner for the copyright of the previous films on his behalf, MGM's "Conan the Barbarian" began to be widely released in more than 1400 theaters across the United States.

As a result, the media's evaluation of "Conan the Barbarian" has become very polarized.

The part of a movie that is regarded as an advantage by one side will definitely be severely criticized by the other side. Some people describe this phenomenon as "every time a movie receives a positive review, it will receive two negative reviews."

The confrontation between Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times and Richard Sickle of Time Magazine is typical, with the former praising Conan the Barbarian as "the perfect perfection of an alienated adolescent." fantasy," while the latter said it was "so stupid it's pure psychopathic Star Wars."

I have to say that although the content of "Conan the Barbarian" has undergone several adjustments that have caused the production cost to increase, its violent scenes still challenge the psychological bottom line of some people. Quite uncomfortable.

No matter how much the media slobbered, "Conan the Barbarian" grossed US$947 in its first week of release, topped the US box office chart, and attracted the attention of countless people.

This achievement made MGM President David Bigelman happy to walk around in his office. For him with the professional stain of "embezzlement of public funds", nothing can compare to being the president Feeling elated is more important.

Looking at the documents on the table about the movie "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" - "Spring City Full of Flowers", David Bigelman was trying to figure out the big boss Tang Huan's positioning for MGM.

For a long time, the eight major Hollywood companies have their own characteristics, such as MGM's musicals, Warner's police and robber films, Disney's cartoons and so on.

Imitating the successful cases of past movies will undoubtedly have the greatest chance of enabling audiences to find many familiar elements in the same type of works, thereby forming a sense of familiarity, increasing consumption desire and expanding the market effect.

But in the past ten years, MGM has been ruined by Kirk Kerkorian, and its foundation has been hollowed out, and it has no unique characteristics at all.

And this musical comedy movie "Flowers in the Spring" is based on the musical of the same name that performed 1600 times on Broadway. The story revolves around a brothel in Texas.

Obviously, the film promotion of "The Flowers in the Spring" may be troublesome due to the different situations in each state, but considering the current box office of "Conan the Barbarian", David Bigelman decided to follow Tang Huan's decision to MGM and The possible positioning that has not been announced is mainly to pursue the box office. As for the controversy, let it go to hell.

……

Tang Huan lay on the bamboo chair, basking in the sun leisurely rarely.

This is a French-style mansion located on the hillside of Beverly Hills. It covers an area of ​​2 acres, which is about 8000 square meters, and the construction area reaches more than 3300 square meters. It overlooks the famous Sunset Boulevard.

To be honest, Tang Huan doesn't like living here very much, because the place is too big, which dilutes the warmth he needs.

However, in order to entertain Hollywood celebrities, Tang Huan, as the boss, needs a place that is worthy of his status and classy enough to show off.

Just the day before yesterday, a grand banquet was held here, and the invited guests ranged from Elizabeth Taylor, the big Hollywood star Tang Huan first met in this time and space, to the recently acquired Orion Production Company. Celebrities gathered such as Jon Voight, Francis Ford Coppola and so on.

Generally speaking, everyone has a very positive attitude towards the return of Orion Production Company to United Artists, and Tang Huan is satisfied if he can achieve this step.

After being busy for such a long time, Tang Huan planned to take a rest and do his doctoral work at the same time.

But he was very still and wanted to move, so he took Deng Lijun's twins over to get closer

The two young brothers are now close to their grandmother and uncle, followed by their mother. As for Tang Huan, they almost belong to the role of passers-by.

Fortunately, they are separated.But after coming here, there was no fuss, or to be more precise, the two of them were enjoying themselves and having a great time.

Tang Huan put the hat on his face, but actually left a gap so that he could secretly observe the two little things playing in the shade of the tree.

Tang Huan's three pairs of twin sons are all typical precocious. Take this pair of brothers in front of us as an example. They are working together to study how to disassemble toys non-violently. It was smashed to pieces.

Now Tang Huan began to suspect that the superhuman wisdom in his head might have been passed on to the second generation in the form of twins through genes.

This assumption is absurd and exaggerated, but isn't it incredible that he came to this time and space?
Tang Huan was thinking about profound scientific issues. The housekeeper came over to report that the guests had arrived.

"Stop playing so tastefully, come with me to pick up the guests." Tang Huan muttered, picked up the twins, one in each arm, and walked towards the door.

The guest here is Bush Jr. This man is mainly engaged in oil business now, but it is said that due to the global economic downturn, the company's profitability is very mediocre.

Last year, Bush Jr.'s wife Laura gave birth to a pair of twin daughters, who are now more than half a year old.

Bush Jr., who was entangled in family affairs, also suffered from the problem of being very quiet and thinking about moving. He planned to take his wife and daughter to find a place for vacation and relax.

When asking the well-informed Tang Huan for advice on where to go, Tang Huan replied casually, "Why don't you come to Los Angeles? I have a big villa in Beverly Hills. I don't use it very much. It's quite a waste. Why don't you come to Los Angeles?" Make room for you to stay for a while."

In this way, George W. Bush came happily with his family.In other words, his so-called vacation also has a certain purpose.

"Welcome, George, Laura, and this pair of lovely little princesses." Tang Huan said with a smile.

Seeing the Bush family looking curiously at the two brothers on each side of his shoulders, Tang Huan introduced simply, "This is my son, and he is also a pair of twins. It's amazing."

Bush Jr. can be sure that Tang Huan is definitely not married. You must know that for this billionaire who has double halos of Silicon Valley nouveau riche and Hollywood box office lucky winner, getting married is a very troublesome thing, and it is extremely difficult. The wind is opaque.

So in other words, these twins were born out of wedlock.

However, George W. Bush was not too surprised, and felt that this was normal. After all, Tang Huan had accumulated a huge amount of wealth at a young age. If he lived an ascetic life, it would be shocking to the world.

As for the future identities of the illegitimate children, it is not shady. With Tang Huan's current identities, certain secular rules are no longer binding.

In fact, this is also Tang Huan's idea. Although he can't give his children a complete family in the legal sense, there are many things that should be there, such as recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan, various obligations of parents, etc.

This is like the leaders of some countries in the original time and space who walked around the world with their children born out of wedlock openly, but others did not treat them respectfully.

Therefore, Tang Huan doesn't feel worried at all about his child's future.

While walking, Bush Jr. was teasing the two little things on Tang Huan's shoulders. The two little brothers not only showed a reckless attitude, but also kept staring at the twin girls.

When the group reached the place where Tang Huan was resting just now, Bush Jr. also sat down. Laura followed the servants to check the room and settle the luggage. The twin daughters were placed on the carpet with a pile of messy toys superior.

Tang Huan's twin sons struggled to get off Tang Huan's body and went straight to their previous toy site. The two brothers stared at the doll, one by one.

"Hey, two little men, don't bully my precious daughter." Regardless of whether the children can understand, Bush Jr. laughed and joked.

"It's rare to meet playmates, otherwise the pair of little brothers wouldn't be so eager. Don't worry, they still understand the gentleman's demeanor."

Tang Huan was laughing, but he was muttering in his heart, "My next generation is really amazing. They know what is the most valuable goal. From this point of view, these little brothers may have a bright future."

"Don, you are really favored by the goddess of luck. Not only is your business going smoothly, but even the Titanic, which is so hard to find, only went to sea once and found the sunken location. Compared with this, my oil company is a bit It's hard to move." After the greetings, Bush Jr., who had finished teasing the two twins, grumbled depressedly.

Running the oil industry is the old business of your Bush family. If you yourself feel helpless, then outsiders can only watch.

Although Tang Huan was amused in his heart, he comforted and encouraged him verbally.

After chatting for a while, Tang Huan called the housekeeper and ordered him to treat the Bush family carefully, including yachts and other tools, and to use them freely.

After arranging all this, Tang Huan left Los Angeles and returned to San Francisco, because he wanted to personally add new members to his consultant team.

As the international trade environment becomes more and more complicated, Tang Huan's industry is also more and more affected by political factors, so he urgently needs talents proficient in international political affairs to deal with such situations.

Among the many resumes, Tang Huan found a very interesting name, so he decided to take the time to ask about it alone.
