Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 587 These Long Legs Are Awesome

……

After a lapse of six full years, the strategically important port of Hanouk changed hands again, which is of great significance.

In particular, it is not known when the Funan opposition forces have the ability to broadcast radio broadcasts covering the entire territory.

At this juncture, the powerful Prince Hanouk issued a message to all compatriots, announcing that the time for the decisive battle of liberation had come, which immediately made people in the Funan puppet regime's ruled area restless.

Annan understands that the Funan resistance forces intend to take Phnom Penh before the end of the dry season in April, and then rest and reorganize their troops and consolidate their results during the rainy season when large-scale military operations cannot be launched.The increasingly active guerrilla attacks support this speculation.

For this reason, Annan, who was caught off guard, took the risk and sent a plane to try to cut off the No. 4 road connecting Hanoukville and Phnom Penh, but was shot down by the guerrillas with a shoulder-fired missile.

As for the bombing of Hanukkah Port, they gave up after only one attempt. The fleet firepower there was more sharp; and Phu Quoc Island, which was only 12 kilometers away from the mainland of Funan, was also blocked.Frightened by the threat of submarines, the Vietnamese Navy hesitated to move forward.

Obviously, the other party had made a careful plan in advance; while Annan only focused on how to eliminate the rebels at the junction of Funan and Siam in the west, but was torn a hole from the southern coast.

……

Compared with the oil-rich hotspot in the Middle East, Funan, which is poor and weak, is obviously difficult to attract the real attention of the international community.

But this time it's different. How did that poor corner suddenly turn into such a luxurious war toy, with destroyers, fighter planes, missiles, submarines, armored forces... everything.

Watching many American politicians on TV easily and frankly clarified that "this incident really has nothing to do with us", the observers were confused, "That armed force is clearly a typical American style, can it be said that the super rich Bored, spent billions of dollars to stun the U.S. military, bought a bunch of steel monsters, and went to Funan to set off fireworks?"

It has to be said that the wildest guesses are often the closest to the truth.

While people from all walks of life were talking about it, the New York Post suddenly jumped out and mysteriously stated, "Do you want to know the truth? Maybe I can break the news."

But under the urging voice of "Speak quickly, speak quickly", the "New York Post" retracted all of a sudden, and began to fight Tai Chi with flickering words.

The same scene also happened to the "Sun" in the UK.

"It seems that there is a shocking secret in this." The people who have been sated by their appetites are getting more and more itchy, and they are asking around, and all kinds of irresponsible conjectures have made the world's publishing industry flourish for a long time.

At this time, Prince Hanouk issued an amnesty decree, calling on forces from all walks of life to unite and drive the invader Annan out of Funan.

On the occasion of the [-]th anniversary of the end of World War II, when countries around the world are commemorating and reflecting on activities, the small Funan suddenly became turbulent, and the exposure rate even surpassed the Iran-Iraq War.

……

After meeting Fang Yihua, Tang Huan met with Jin Yong and privately exchanged opinions on the future political mechanism of Hong Kong. Let's not say whether it was useful or not. At least it showed that the other party was mature and prudent in doing things.

Tang Huan also thanked Jin Yong for allowing "Ming Pao" to withhold the paparazzi's candid photo of Lin Fengjiao's mother and son.

"Zha Sheng, TVB has almost filmed a round of your novels and ranked them in order. It should be DreamWorks." Tang Huan joked.

Not counting the 1978 TV series "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" by Zheng Shaoqiu, Wang Mingquan, and Zhao Yazhi. After entering 1980, TVB has successively filmed "Dragon and Ba Bu", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of Condor Heroes", " "Swordsman", "The Deer and Ding Tale", Jin Yong's most outstanding martial arts novels, can be said to have caught them all, and Tang Huan only mentioned this.

"No rush, no rush, otherwise the audience will like the new and dislike the old." Jin Yong smiled and waved his hands, "Anyway, Tang Sheng doesn't have to worry about the ratings of Media Asia TV. DreamWorks adapted the works of Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, and Wen Ruian. The TV drama "Lu Xiaofeng: Phoenix Dance in Nine Heavens", which was recently planned to be filmed, has received a lot of attention."

Tang Huan laughed and shook his head, revealing his true thoughts, "Then there is always room for action in movies."

Jin Yong thought about it for a while. Similar to TVB, the Shaw Brothers almost shot a round of his works in terms of movies. Fortunately, the interval is not short, but we can agree to it. After all, the two sides have achieved good results in video game adaptations. We must respect it. People's face.

Thinking of this, Jin Yong asked cheerfully: "I wonder which work Tang Sheng is interested in the film adaptation rights of?"

"It's good that Zha Sheng agrees." Tang Huan laughed with satisfaction, "I'm only responsible for making a front stop, and DreamWorks will discuss the specific plan with you."

……

Tang Huan breathed a sigh of relief after the successful raid on Hanouk Port and the smooth development of the war afterwards.

Seeing that his largest investment plan in history was being carried out in an orderly manner, he was naturally in a good mood, so much so that before leaving Xiangjiang to attend Reagan's re-election ceremony in the United States, he was interested in meeting Cheng Long who had been in private contact several times .

At this stage, the commercial-grade digital random retrieval karaoke system DKaraoke-1 is still a little expensive, otherwise it can be like a home video recorder, and it can directly launch terminal products for the middle class.

Therefore, even if Stormwind City is close to the waterfront, it is impossible to arrange the boxes in the original time and space. This also makes customers who enjoy karaoke entertainment services often have two skills in singing, otherwise it is difficult to let go .

Tang Huan was staying in the only top-level karaoke box in Stormwind City at this time. Besides Cheng Long who was sitting opposite, he was also accompanied by a young and invincible beautiful girl——Wang Zuxian.

The ecology of the entertainment industry has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, it is typical to like the new and dislike the old.Therefore, DreamWorks discovers some fresh faces from Taiwan and other places every year.

However, there are not many people who can register with Tang Huan, such as Lu Xiuling the year before last, Hu Huizhong last year, and Wang Zuxian this year.

In fact, the Huagang Art School, Guoguang Art School and other institutions on Baodao have become a kind of "cash machine", and you can get the right one just by looking for pictures.

Take Wang Zuxian as an example. When she was at Guoguang Art School, she was included in the inspection list by DreamWorks; before the opening of the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards last year, she made a decision to come to Xiangjiang to develop as soon as she turned 18.As for her studies at Guoguang Art School, she simply gave up. Xiao Nizi was not a student, so she had to seize the opportunity to find another career.

Wang Zuxian is naturally not as connotative as Hu Huizhong, who is knowledgeable and interesting, but simplicity also has its advantages, that is, he can be taught according to his own blueprint. Anyway, it is not the first time Tang Huan has done this, and he is very proficient.

"Xiaoxian's long legs are amazing! It's not an exaggeration to say that they are the most beautiful legs in Asia." Tang Huan praised unabashedly while moving his hands unscrupulously.This is also the most attractive part of the other party, otherwise, why would the reborn never forget, Mr. Richest Man never lacks spare tires here.

"As long as Mr. Tang is willing, it will be easy for Ms. Wang to become the owner of the most beautiful legs in the world." Cheng Long swallowed secretly, and joked with a smile.

Wang Zuxian's face was flushed by the men's blatant jokes, but she was extremely happy in her heart. To be favored by such a big figure, just the simplest vanity of a little girl, was supremely satisfied.

"Xiaoxian's qualifications are still young, so he needs to calm down and accumulate some experience." Tang Huan laughed, withdrew his hand, and took a sip from the crystal cup.

What he said is true. So far, Wang Zuxian, who has emerged from the commercials, has participated in a Taiwan movie "This Year's Lakeside will be very cold". Next, he will inevitably go through a stage of making vases, depending on the length of time. up.

"If I have a suitable role on hand, I will definitely recommend it to Ms. Wang." Cheng Long hurriedly offered favors.

Wang Zuxian said obediently, "Thank you, Brother Long." Tang Huan also nodded and asked, "You came to me at the risk of being suspected by Boss Zou. Did you encounter any difficult difficulties?"

"I don't have so many worries. No matter Boss Zou or Princess Jin's Boss Lei, they will all stand by Tang Sheng's side in the end." Cheng Long complimented.

I have to say that society is a real university.Cheng Long, who has been wandering around in the past few years, has broadened his horizons and grown a lot. He has his own judgment on the future trend of Xiangjiang's film industry.

The same is true of the facts. In the nearly one-year battle of Xiangjiang Cinemas, DreamWorks Cinemas clearly had the upper hand. Its flexible operating methods including multi-hall screenings, supplemented by precise data analysis and management based on computers, turned the original Give full play to the advantages of leading hardware and software.

In contrast, the set of Golden Harvest Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas is inevitably outdated.As a result, in the past period of time, the local box office of its top-grossing movie did not exceed 2000 million.

Don't think it's good if you can sell more than 1000 million Hong Kong dollars. Now the standard for Hong Kong movies to sell well has been pushed up to 2000 million by DreamWorks.

Of course, Golden Harvest Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas can break through the 2000 million box office benchmark by extending the film’s release time outside of the usual practice, but that’s for drinking poison to quench their thirst, and audiences who love the new and hate the old will only favor DreamWorks Cinemas more.

Cheng Long's way of observing the situation is not that complicated. He only has one thing in mind. Making movies can't make more money than those real estate developers. Qinhe, the big owner, can take care of the DreamWorks theaters in terms of rent, and he can make other theaters more profitable. worn out.

"Aaron, you are getting better and better at talking." Tang Huan laughed loudly, "We have known each other for a long time, and I also appreciate you. If you have something to say, you can talk openly and honestly. I believe that the questions that can stump me can still be solved. not much."

"Then I'll say it." Cheng Long scratched his head.

The impact of the theater chain war on individual film practitioners is not negative. After all, all parties must try their best to win over people for the sake of film sources.From this point of view, everyone is basically on the same starting line.

However, compared to Mai Jia, Hong Jinbao, Cen Jianxun and other ugly men who are becoming more and more active in the Xiangjiang film industry, Cheng Long's situation is quite special.

First of all, he cooperated with brothers such as Hong Jinbao and Yuen Biao. Although the box office of the movies is often good, it cannot really highlight his personal style and hinder his career advancement.

Secondly, Cheng Long encountered some unhappiness, including the bumps and bumps that inevitably occurred due to different ideas in the process of cooperating with his seniors, the troubles left by his job-hopping at Golden Harvest, and the most important point-the continuous struggle of entering Hollywood. fail.

When Cheng Long and Chen Ziqiang switched jobs from Luo Wei Pictures to Golden Harvest, Luo Wei used some unflattering means to retaliate. The final settlement was the 1983 movie "The Dragon and the Tiger Leaping" starring Cheng Long. Compared with the previous film "Laughing Fist and Strange Moves", it is completely different. The box office did not even reach 200 million, but it made Cheng Long disgusted.

In addition, as the rest of the previous plan to enter Hollywood, Cheng Long participated in "The Protector" in the United States - "The Dragon Detective", and the result was full of conflicts with director James Gillikenhuss.

Cheng Long's first film in Hollywood, "Killer's Trenches", although it did not achieve the box office success of Bruce Lee's film in the United States, the result disappointed all parties involved, but it also earned more than 1980 million US dollars in 850. Xiangjiang's side is More than 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

As for "Cannonball Speed ​​1" and "Cannonball Speed ​​2", Cheng Long is purely playing soy sauce in it, so let's not mention it.

But these three works have one thing in common, that is, the reviews are extremely poor.

For this reason, Cheng Long must reflect on it to find out the reason. At the very least, he can't let the boss simply attribute the responsibility to himself, which will completely ruin his reputation.

But this time during the filming of "The Dragon Detective", Jackie Chan found out that the actual situation is not the worst, only worse.

In order to avoid another tragedy, Cheng Long went to Golden Harvest after negotiating with director James Gillikenhuss to no avail, but Zou Wenhuai didn't move.

Cheng Long was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood, but also very disappointed.He felt that if there was a backer who could speak effectively in Hollywood, he would definitely not be so called "every day should not be done", so he could only hold his breath and endure it.

There is no doubt that the backer Cheng Long wants is Tang Huan.

"Tang Sheng, can you speak to Warner?" Cheng Long begged: "I don't ask for anything else about "The Dragon Detective", I just hope to master its Chinese version, so as not to overwhelm the box office." Low, I can't continue to lose face here in Xiangjiang."

Cheng Long looked at Tang Huan eagerly. He had heard that the other party had beaten Warner to the bum in the video game business, and later dealt with it in the stock market, and finally gave up control of Warner Records. .This matter should be out of the question.
