Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 577 DreamWorks has a world-class blockbuster
In fact, the monopoly of "Hua Hua Qing Qing" at the Golden Horse Awards did not arouse any backlash such as public outrage. The media and the public were more interested in talking about it.

Because Deng Lijun has created a trend of Deng's love songs around the world this year, her reputation is unparalleled in the Chinese world and others are jealous.

In contrast, Baodao has many artists who are popular in their own territory, but there are very few decent and truly successful artists.

What's more, not long after the Baodao concert and the Golden Horse Awards, rumors began to spread that Deng Lijun would go to the mainland to hold a concert in Shanghai.Media people from Baodao, Xiangjiang and other places immediately experienced a surge in adrenaline and became a mess around this topic. However, officials from Baodao and mainland China did not speak out, seeming to observe whether the development of the situation has exceeded their tolerance. scope.

Fortunately, Deng Lijun didn't have to deal with this media frenzy, and went to Japan in a legitimate way.Due to her outstanding music career achievements in Japan and around the world this year, NHK Kohaku Uta Hezhan enthusiastically extended the invitation, and the two parties need to finalize some details.

Tang Huan stayed there until Deng Lijun went to Japan, and then Tang Huan was ready to fly from Taiwan to the United States.Before leaving, he met Qiu Fusheng, the founder of Times Film and Television Co., Ltd.

Since 1983, home video recorders have spread rapidly around the world, including Baodao, one of the Four Asian Tigers.As a result, its video rental business also grew.

Compared with traditional newspapers, radio, television, and movies, this is a new form of media. It poses a great challenge to managers who want to have all supervision in their hands. It also gives businessmen room to make profits.

Tang Huan, who has mastered the resources of Hong Kong movies, Hong Kong dramas and Hollywood, and has made content the king, directly leads the VHS alliance in this wave of booming sales of electronic consumer goods, sweeping all markets in the Asia-Pacific region except Japan.

DreamWorks has its own video tape distribution department in Baodao. However, if this business wants to develop and grow, intensive localization operations are inevitable. However, the energy required, compared with profits, and the increasing complexity of DreamWorks' business, are difficult to find. Working with local agents is undoubtedly a suitable solution in all aspects.

Hu Yinmeng, who was born in an official family, had a wide social circle in Baodao, so Qiu Fusheng, who was discerning, saw the opportunity and came to visit.

Speaking of which, the two also have some connections. Hu Yinmeng made his debut and became popular in the movie "Unknown Place in the Deep Clouds", which was recommended by Qiu Fusheng's ex-wife Hong Xiaoqiao to director Xu Jinliang.

Sometimes, the circle is just that small.If it weren't for this kind of incense, Tang Huan wouldn't need to be distracted by this matter.

However, having said that, Qiu Fusheng is also a reliable person, and he can be regarded as a professional in the media field.For example, TTV premiered in May 1980, starring Xiao Fangfang's 5:09 series "Autumn Water and Long Sky", he was the producer.

"DreamWorks' entertainment content production capabilities are unparalleled in the Chinese cultural circle. If I can get Mr. Tang's favor, I am confident that we can establish a complete audio-visual cultural product channel system so that DreamWorks' videos can be unimpeded in Baodao. , forming a viewing trend." After the greetings were completed and the topic entered, Qiu Fusheng assured, patting his chest.

"What I hope to see is that the people of Baodao have a legal way to rent movies." After Tang Huan made a gorgeous official accent, he turned to ask: "Is the TVB TV series that has the first-mover advantage in Baodao?" Is it more popular with the audience?"

The reason why Tang Huan asked this question was because as far as he knew, a TV station in Taiwan had a successful case of introducing TVB TV series.

For example, the 1979 version of "Chu Liuxiang", in which Zheng Shaoqiu played Chu Liuxiang and Zhao Yazhi played Su Rongrong, was purchased by CTV and broadcasted on Taiwan, and achieved a high audience rating of 70.00%.Furthermore, there is an exaggerated description. Whenever the weekend comes, taxi drivers do not carry passengers, and night market vendors do not set up stalls. They all stay at home and watch the theater. It can be described as empty.

"This kind of first-mover advantage does exist, but with the improvement of Baodao's TV drama production capabilities, the dependence of the three major TV stations has been significantly reduced. Since Taiwan TV purchased TVB's "Dragon Movie" and premiered it on Baodao, So far, the three major TV stations have not introduced TVB TV series. Therefore, the first-mover advantage of TVB mentioned by Mr. Tang is actually very limited."

Qiu Fusheng had obviously done enough homework in advance, and he talked eloquently in front of Tang Huan. In the end, he did not forget to compliment: "DreamWorks' first TV series "Shanghai Beach", after being introduced to Baodao, the ratings were also the same. Crowds are empty, and Dreamworks' films are also very popular, and the audience's recognition is very high."

Hearing that the other party's plan was well-organized, Tang Huan thought for a while, since the matter has reached the level of his own involvement, he should give a hearty talk, so he finally made a decision: "Since Mr. Qiu is confident and Yinmeng also strongly recommends it, then Give the agency rights of DreamWorks TV series videotapes in Baodao to Time Company."

"What about the DreamWorks movie video?" Qiu Fusheng asked tentatively.

"Movies are quite special. At present, DreamWorks has the energy to operate on its own, and it is doing well, so there is no accident. If Mr. Qiu thinks that the film source is not enough, I will not restrict the era company to represent TVB TV dramas." Tang Huan waved his hand , directly cut off the other party's thoughts.

"Then Mr. Tang's Hollywood company produced the TV series videotape, can you give me the agency rights in Baodao?" Qiu Fusheng, who did not give up, continued to fight for it with hope.

This time he got the opportunity to meet Tang Huan through Hu Yinmeng's relationship, because he wanted to win the other party's American entertainment program content agency rights, because this power was not in Hu Yinmeng's hands.

"Mr. Qiu has great ambitions." Tang Huan laughed noncommittally, "American dramas produced by my company are not as popular as Hong Kong dramas in Taiwan."

"As an agent, I naturally have the unshirkable responsibility to cultivate the market. I have been fortunate enough to watch the American family TV series produced by United Artists, and I have to say that they can still win the favor of some middle-class people and white-collar elites in Taiwan."

At this point, Qiu Fusheng made up his mind and showed his final trump card, "If Mr. Tang does not dislike the shallow company's qualifications, I would like to introduce strategic investment from you so that everyone can cooperate more closely."

Of course, the current era company does not look into Tang Huan's eyes, but after considering Qiu Fusheng's future achievements in the original time and space, he nodded, "In this way, I will not affect your interest in the development of the era company." As the leader, you can give up one-third of the shares. I will hand over the agency rights of Hollywood American dramas and DreamWorks Hong Kong drama videos in Taiwan to Time Company, and at the same time inject funds to help it become the leader in the video rental industry of Taiwan. In addition, I will introduce you to a new entertainment business in a while."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Fusheng couldn't help but feel joy on his face.The reason why he did not express his willingness to seek cooperation until the end was mainly because he was too conflicted in his heart.

If Tang Huan refuses like the DreamWorks movie and video business, then he will be embarrassed. Anyway, this bit of face is worthless to the richest man. If it is lost, it will be lost. It is nothing; but if Tang Huan agrees, Qiu After being resurrected, he was worried about attracting a wolf into his house. You know, he had put a lot of effort into the era company, and he was really afraid that someone would occupy the magpie's nest and pick the peaches.

It's all right now, Tang Huan has spoken out in person, so there's no need to make any calculations in his mind, just enjoy the convenience brought by hugging his thighs at ease.

"The richest man is the richest man, and his courage is unparalleled." Qiu Fusheng was convinced and secretly praised him in his heart, then quickly expressed his position: "Thanks to Mr. Tang for your respect, I will definitely achieve the goals I mentioned before."

"I like to make friends, and I'm willing to create a win-win situation. It's really good for everyone to make a fortune together." Tang Huan waved his hand very grandly.

"I wonder what the new entertainment business that Mr. Tang is talking about is?" Qiu Fusheng asked curiously and expectantly.

"It's not convenient to disclose it for the time being. We will have to wait until Xiangjiang has tried it before we can make a complete evaluation." Tang Huan shook his head mysteriously.

……

Silicon Valley One flew over San Francisco and landed in Los Angeles.Tang Huan got off the plane and went straight to Hu Yinmeng's residence.The other party gave birth to a pair of twin sons in September, named Jinnian and Jinfang.When he returns to the United States this time, he will naturally visit him as soon as possible.

For the birth of twin grandchildren, Hu's mother, who has been responsible for taking care of her daughter's daily life, was so happy from ear to ear.

An old lady who comes from a big family still has very serious feudal ideas.In her opinion, with this pair of men, the Hu family would have a legitimate position in the big family created by Tang Huan.For example, the DreamWorks in Xiangjiang is not only named after his daughter, but also belongs to his daughter.

Father Hu also came to Los Angeles to visit his grandson. He suffered a sudden stroke a few years ago and was transferred to Treasure Hospital in San Francisco for treatment. He recovered well and even had the energy to accept the request from Tang Huan to bring in elderly people from the mainland for treatment. Fighting spirit".

But in the end, Hu's father returned to Baodao to live on the grounds that he was not used to the environment in San Francisco.In essence, the old man has a deep love for the calf, and he is using his spare heat to build a network of relationships in Baodao for the career of his only daughter.

But there is one thing. The relationship between Hu's father and the divorced mother has not been fundamentally improved. They are just worried about disturbing their grandson, so they keep silent. They barely live under the same roof in Huyin. Dream here.

After teasing the two-month old Thirteen and Fourteen for a while, Tang Huan joked to Hu Yinmeng, who was watching tenderly by his side, "Look, this is the result of our platonic relationship."

"It's cheap and good." Hu Yinmeng rolled her eyes at Tang Huan, changed the subject and said: "According to preliminary statistics, the global box office of "Phantom of the Tomb: Wrath of the Dragon Emperor" exceeds [-] million U.S. dollars. This dream pair For the factory, it means a lot, and since then there has been a blockbuster of world-class box office level."

"Hua Hua Qing Qing" co-starred by Tang Huan and Deng Lijun was not included in the DreamWorks system.Therefore, "Phantom of the Tomb: Wrath of the Dragon Emperor" became DreamWorks' first blockbuster with a global box office of more than [-] million US dollars, further consolidating DreamWorks' leading position in Xiangjiang and the entire Chinese-language film circle.

"Don't be arrogant and think that everything will be smooth sailing from now on." Tang Huan reminded in a pretentious manner, "You must know that there are many clever factors behind the success of "Phantom of the Tomb: Wrath of the Dragon Emperor". In the United States President Reagan's visit to Huawei marked the warming of relations between China, the United States, and the entire West, giving Chinese elements, Eastern adventures, computer special effects and other means of attracting audiences the best opportunity to express themselves. In addition, the hard work of the actors and other production teams , the low cost of completing the principal photography process in mainland China also played a positive role that cannot be ignored."

"I'm calming down." Hu Yinmeng waved his hand impatiently, "What I mean is, with this success, we can further deter Golden Harvest and Golden Princess Entertainment, and help the theater chains to integrate into a unified alliance."

"Since I keep my head clear, I won't say much." Tang Huan nodded slightly, skillfully changed the diapers of his two sons, and then walked into Father Hu's bedroom, greeting and chatting.

Tang Huan couldn't help but smile when he saw that the other party was watching the video of the 35th National Day anniversary.You know, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Hu's father was appointed mayor of Liaoning, Lvshun and SY. However, with the PLA's successive victories, his official title was almost a mirror image.Now I have the leisure and grace to enjoy the People's Liberation Army military parade. I don't know what the old man feels.

"Decades have passed like this, and it has a sense of great changes." Hu's father lamented: "From this celebration, I saw that the mainland is really changing; and the occurrence of the Jiangnan case will also make Bao Bao The island changed decisively."

Tang Huan glanced at Father Hu, and said in his heart: "Don't look at this old man who has been cautious and unknown for many years. After all, he has spent most of his life in the political arena, and he still has vision."

Father Hu continued to say: "My daughter has her home, and my grandson has seen it. Now I have only one wish left, which is to go back to the mainland. The fallen leaves always return to their roots.”

Seeing that Father Hu had this in mind, Tang Huan shook his head with a wry smile.Hu's mother used to sneak back to the mainland to visit relatives before, but Hu Yinmeng was so tired that she followed. Fortunately, no news was leaked, but Hu's father, a political figure with a sensitive identity, would definitely die.

"Since you have also said that both sides are changing, you should maintain patience and a healthy body, and watch until the clouds bloom to see the moonlight." Tang Huan comforted: "I believe that within a few years, the permission to visit relatives will be cleared." open."

"I hope so." Father Hu nodded, finally put aside this worry.

Seeing that Hu Yinmeng settled well here, Tang Huan was relieved and set off to return to Silicon Valley. His 32-bit personal computer project had already begun to slowly kick off.
