Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 609 The Massive LiveAid
……

Dr. Emer Brown is a tech maniac who wants to make "useful" inventions, which can be seen from the footage of the actor Marty McFly visiting the laboratory at the beginning of the movie.

Amongst a mix of primitive and advanced objects, there is a Fangyuan computer in operation, with combinations of various musical notes flashing on the screen.

According to the extraordinary thinking of Dr. Emer Brown, music is just a combination of frequencies that make people happy, and a "beautiful" melody can be found in a mathematical way.

Marty McFly, who was preparing for the band's performance, turned on the horn enthusiastically, intending to hear if there was a "beautiful" melody available to trigger his creative inspiration, but the circuit was overloaded and burned.

……

Not surprisingly, this is a Hollywood movie advertising for Tang Huan's IT industry, and there are more than one.

……

After some necessary plot foreshadowing, Marty McFly came to 1955. By accident, he first met his parents in his youth, and then passed the test with Dr. Emer Brown to gain the trust of the other party.

The camera that recorded the experimental process of the space-time shuttle got several close-ups.

When seeing Dr. Emer Brown using an old electromechanical computer to assist in data calculation, Marty McFly immediately complained: "I didn't expect to see this kind of old antique, my 1985 Fangyuan Personal computer, it is estimated that the performance is several blocks away from all the current computers."

……

As a result, the comparison drew an angry rant from IBM.This type of electromechanical computer before Gein Electronic Computer was basically produced by Big Blue.

Isn't it okay for everyone to engage in business wars in an upright manner? How can you use movies to bury people?
In particular, when comparing, my logo was not allowed to show my face, and I was not given lines.It's so deceiving!
When outsiders watched the bustle with relish, they couldn't help expressing curiosity that it was difficult for them to understand that the two public companies with the highest market capitalization in the world should fight each other over such a trivial matter.

Soon, a well-informed industry insider gave an analysis and explanation: IBM's reaction was ulterior motives, and the real direction of the attack was actually Fangyuan Computer's recent poaching operation.

The flow of talents between companies is normal, but the premise is that rules on business interests, confidentiality, etc. cannot be violated, otherwise it will often mean that it will be accompanied by a dispute.

The target of Fangyuan Computer's poaching this time is very special. It is the exile who led the IBM-PC to break through the world, but was seized in disguise because of a mistake-Don Estridge.

From an outsider's point of view, the vibrant and attractive Fangyuan Computer Company should have no shortage of talents, and it may not be able to provide a suitable position for Don Estrich. After all, the other party is one of the vice presidents of IBM.

However, Fangyuan Computer Company still offered an olive branch to Don Estridge. The superficial gesture was: IBM does not use such talents, but I use them!But in essence, it is very intriguing!

The relationship between Fangyuan Computer Company and IBM is of course mostly competitors, and Don Estridge is equivalent to the idol of IBM-PC. Now Fangyuan Computer Company wants to poach this iconic figure away, saying that it is drawing salary from the bottom of the pot Not too much.

The market share of IBM-PC has been firmly suppressed by Fangyuan Personal Computer, and there is no hope of turning around. If it loses another representative, it is believed that the moment when the curtain falls is not far away.

You said, how can IBM still sit on the Diaoyutai and keep calm?

What comforted Big Blue was that although Don Estridge was left out in the cold, he was still loyal and firmly ignored Fangyuan Computer Company's ominous flirtations.

But the human heart is the most fickle, and IBM did not dare to take it lightly, so it danced its long elephant trunk and let out a roar, threatening the western cowboy Fangyuan Computer Company, "Be quiet, you boy, and stop asking for trouble!"

Although the outside world has analyzed the ins and outs of this incident very clearly, the parties involved have not made a formal statement, and it is not known whether this is the end of the story or a new drama is brewing, which makes the onlookers feel itchy. The various media with the sacred mission of exposing the truth have tried their best to scout around.

At a charity concert called "LiveAid" - "Save a Life" held in mid-July, Tang Huan was blocked by reporters eager to find out the truth.

……

Via Dotheyknowit'sChristmas? - Do They Know It's Christmas? ", "We Are the World" - "One World", "Sunshine Always After the Storm" and other iconic songs, after more than half a year of preparation, the "LiveAid" charity concert finally kicked off.

The main organizer of this event is the UK's Bob Geldof, who was involved in the launch of the single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" "musician.

Under the active efforts of Bob Geldof, singers from all over the world gathered together to create this grand event of unprecedented scale.

There are three main venues: Wembley Stadium in London, England, with 72000 spectators; Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, USA, with 100000 spectators; Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong, with 12000 spectators.

In addition, the music scene in Australia and Germany is also organized to participate.

"LiveAid" is not the kind of ordinary concert that just brings together artists, venues, and audiences. Many TV networks and TV stations, including Media Asia TV, have jointly established an unprecedentedly large live broadcast network, which has covered more than 8 countries and regions around the world, with as many as 160 billion viewers.

This shows how technically difficult it is.In a loose system governed by public welfare goals, it took only more than half a year to coordinate and achieve it, which cannot but be said to be a miracle.

Or it can be said that people will always show their brightest side at this time, otherwise, it would be difficult to fully explain such a scene of unity.

Tang Huan's instructions to the technical departments of Pacific Telecom, Xiangjiang Telecom, and Media Asia Satellite Company are simple and clear: This is the second comprehensive military training after the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. It's time to test whether you are eating for nothing!
As for media such as Turner Broadcasting Company and Xiangjiang Media Asia TV, although they have also encountered unprecedented challenges, there are not many similar activities in normal times, and they have accumulated good military training experience, so there is no need to mention too much.

Obviously, the British, who have the first-mover advantage, have mastered the dominance of "LiveAid".Therefore, Richard Skinner, the host from the BBC, took the lead in announcing the start of the concert.

"It's 12:7 noon in London time, 8:[-] am in Philadelphia time, and [-]:[-] pm in Hong Kong time. The "LiveAid" charity concert has started..."

Due to the global time difference, the opening times of the three major venues will naturally be staggered.

After a formal lead at Wembley Stadium in London, England, the Hong Kong Hung Hom Stadium was allowed to perform the opening performance; it took an hour before it regained the dominance for the real opening performance; after another hour, it was finally Philadelphia's turn Opening performance at Kennedy Stadium.

So, the "LiveAid" charity concert became a marathon relay performance, with a total time of 24 hours.

During this process, famous singers in the music industry represented by each host took turns to perform on stage, such as Deng Lijun, Xu Guanjie, Luo Wen, Alan Tam, Chen Baiqiang, Leslie Cheung, Jenny Zhen, Xu Xiaofeng, Zhang Delan, Anita Mui and so on.

Compared with their counterparts in Europe and the United States, the strength of the Chinese music industry in Asia is inevitably weaker, which can be reflected in the types of music performed.

But this can’t be helped. The mainland market has not been formed, and lacks economic foundation and market capacity. Everyone can only focus on the development of Xiangjiang, a tiny place.

Tang Huan, who lives behind the scenes, has reached the limit to promote this opportunity to show on the world stage.

Of course, not all of the big names were at LiveAid.

For example, popular American rock singer Bruce Springsteen was not there for the simple reason that he underestimated the influence of "LiveAid".

Unlike this type of absence from "LiveAid" due to negligence, Michael Jackson, who created "We Are the World", actively refused to participate in "LiveAid".As for the internal reasons, it can only be said to be very complicated.

Now that it has become a global sensation, "LiveAid" says that it is just the pure crystallization of music and charity. How can anyone with a discerning eye still accept it?

In the original time and space, Bob Geldof, the organizer who was actively running around, gained both fame and fortune after a hard trip. He was awarded by the Queen of England, nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, and more The identity of a political activist.

This more or less shows that people always have motives in doing things, there is no love for no reason, no hatred for no reason.

It would be unfair to say that there is a struggle for power in "LiveAid", but when it comes to some contradictions such as purity, right to speak, etc., there should be no difference.

Although Michael Jackson, like Madonna, is his top brand, Tang Huan also respects the complex ecology of this circle, so he doesn't interfere with the other party's choice.

Anyway, there are far more than Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson who are absent from "LiveAid".

"LiveAid" mainly solicits donations by phone, and viewers can use credit cards and checks.

In the beginning, the increase in the amount of charity money was slow, and Bob Geldof was so impatient that he sweared at the cumbersome operating procedures of the telephone method, which scared the BBC to quickly adopt harmonious methods to filter it.

But the much-anticipated "LiveAid" has countless people staring at it. Even if the sound is blocked, experts can still analyze what Bob Geldof said from the TV screen.

Although it was a bit troublesome, fortunately, the final donation amount of "LiveAid" was satisfactory, exceeding 1.5 million pounds.

Tang Huan, who appeared at the Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, donated $50.However, he was not the one who donated the most, with Dubai's rulers, the Al Maktoum family, donating £100 million.

This incident tells the media that the richest man in the United States does not mean that he is the richest man in the world.

However, the reporters were too lazy to pay attention to these numbers games. When they blocked Tang Huan, they asked, "Tang, I heard that because of your personal intervention, "Penthouse" and "Playboy" gave up publishing Madonna's photos? You Can you explain the terms of exchange?"

"Do you think I have a lot of time to spare?" Tang Huan asked nonchalantly.

As far as he knew, Madonna who participated in "LiveAid" was also chased and intercepted by these reporters who were afraid of chaos in the world.

In order to increase sales and maximize profits, "Penthouse" and "Playboy" are naturally very good at whetting the appetite.The matter of Madonna's photos was promoted in advance, which aroused all kinds of people with different thoughts and feelings.

But unexpectedly, when that issue of the magazine was released, the agreed photo was suddenly canceled, which made everyone hesitate.

How can this work? We have all prepared articles to criticize a popular star. It is both pleasure and money. Why prevent everyone from experiencing the wonderful feeling of destroying beautiful things with our own hands?There must be something inside here!
The reputation of Tang Huan's love and support for female artists has spread to some extent. In addition, Madonna, a cash cow, is rising rapidly.

Facing the reporter's harsh questions, Madonna, who has always been a maverick, responded frankly, "Those photos were taken when I was in New York to earn $25 for living expenses, and now I have bought them back. I don't want these unauthorized photos to be released to the public because 10 years from now, you may still attack me with this matter."

For this answer, the reporters almost dismissed it in unison, "Just kidding, you can buy these photos back by yourself, do you have the energy? How could "The Penthouse" be so easy to talk about? Last year it just broke with photos. A Miss America, why are you making an exception?"

The media has decided that there must be a big shot reaching out to turn the clouds_It's raining.And even if it's not, they can concoct this "fact" however they want.

Isn't Madonna going to get married? If there is a Hollywood tycoon lying between the couple, it must be a sensational enough fun.

　Can anyone tell me why so many collections have been added today?The recommended time for background notifications will not start until Sunday.
