Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 699
In short, as the head of Qinhe's first line, Tang Huan must use his attitude of lifting weights lightly to calm down the scene.And the best occasion to show that the richest man is confident is the various public events that attract the attention of the whole of Hong Kong.

For example, after Media Asia TV's 30th anniversary celebration, two beauty pageants, which were obviously competing with each other, started one after another——Miss Xiangjiang and Miss Chinese.

This year Miss Hong Kong will be held at the Lee Theater on Percival Street in Causeway Bay. After all, the Lee family still has a seat in TVB, which is also part of the meaning of the title.

However, although the Lee Stage, completed in 1925, has a profound historical background and was renovated in the 1970s, it obviously cannot meet the needs of modern large-scale cultural activities, not to mention building various themed stages to create more The best visual effect is not supported by the TV wall that has been popularized all over the world.

Therefore, this also makes Miss Xiangjiang's artistic presentation effect necessarily inferior to Miss Chinese.

Of course, Miss Xiangjiang has a lot of cards to play, especially this year's session happens to be the No.15 session, so she has prepared carefully.

When the show started, the camera swept across the first row of the auditorium, and the previous Miss Xiangjiang gathered in one place, which was obviously the same as the 30th anniversary celebration of Media Asia TV, shaking up the historical background.

First of all, all contestants made their appearance on the stage; then, three masters of ceremonies, He Shouxin, Cen Jianxun, and Gan Guoliang, began to grandly introduce the previous Miss Xiangjiang.

……

"Miss Xiangjiang 1974 - Miss Zhang Wenying."

"Miss Xiangjiang 1977 - Miss Zhu Lingling."

"Miss Xiangjiang 1980 - Miss Dai Yuee."

"Miss Xiangjiang 1981 - Miss Lao Jinchang."

"Miss Xiangjiang 1982—Miss Liang Yunrui."

"Miss Xiangjiang 1983—Miss Yang Xueyi."

"Miss Xiangjiang 1984 - Miss Gao Lihong."

"Miss Hong Kong 1985 - Miss Xie Ning."

"Miss Xiangjiang 1986 - Miss Li Meishan."

……

Tang Huan applauded along with the crowd, and commented casually with a smile: "What an imposing manner, this Miss Xiangjiang is quite domineering."

"Don't talk to me, you're no good, be careful of being caught by the camera." Lin Qingxia, who was sitting on the side, leaned slightly towards Zhao Yazhi's side, and then warned without looking sideways.

Lin Meiren has been very popular recently, because the big-budget movie "Mulan" starring her has entered the stage of comprehensive promotion before its release.

On one of the posters, Lin Qingxia in women's attire and Lin Qingxia in military attire looked at each other and smiled, fascinated the audience as if they hadn't waited for the movie to be released.

This time Lin Qingxia's attendance at the Miss Xiangjiang contest finals can be regarded as increasing the exposure of the upcoming movie, while Tang Huan followed suit.

Tang Huan shrugged his shoulders and turned his gaze to Qiu Shuzhen, who was among the contestants on the stage. He couldn't help wondering, "How do I remember that in the original time and space, this sexy actress was revealed to have plastic surgery on her chin. Even if she did It’s still difficult to explain the turmoil, and in the end, I had no choice but to withdraw from the finals; but now how can I be among the 12 beauties? Could it be that Miss Chinese and Miss Xiangjiang compete with each other, but they are really elegant and harmonious. In the general environment, did such a mess happen?"

Qiu Shuzhen was the first candidate to be declared in the top 12 in the semi-finals, and she was an absolute favorite to win the championship.Now that they are safe and sound on the final stage, the final result of the election is really worth looking forward to.

Tang Huan shook his head amusedly, and listened carefully to how the masters of ceremonies praised Miss Xiangjiang.

After pulling out a large number of previous Miss Xiangjiang to help out, He Shouxin talked about how Miss Xiangjiang can represent Xiangjiang to participate in international beauty pageants such as Miss Universe, Miss World, and Miss International.In this regard, the fledgling Chinese lady is indeed incomparable.

Seeing He Shouxin's affectionate expression, Tang Huan asked Zhao Yazhi through Lin Qingxia, "He Shouxin has been the emcee of Miss Xiangjiang's election for many years, right?"

"In my impression, since the first session in 1973, he has appeared on this stage every year." Zhao Yazhi replied blurted out.

"No wonder it's so full of voice and emotion. The past 15 years can be regarded as a record." Tang Huan slightly nodded his head sighing.

From a man's point of view, a major feature of this year's Miss Xiangjiang is that Yang Baoling, Li Meifeng, and Qiu Shuzhen, the most popular candidates, all have a pair of bewitching eyes.

The beauties must also know their own advantages, so whether it is the stage walk of the metropolis fashion, the swimsuit link of the seven-color heat wave, or the cheongsam show of the charm of the cheongsam, and the dress link of the famous flowers and sweet words to the beauties, the discharge is frequent. , and then give people an illusion that the goal is their own.

Noticing that Tang Huan was staring intently at her, Lin Qingxia said in a low voice with gusto, "You'd better save some energy to run for Miss Chinese. The popular candidates over there are not inferior to this one at all."

Tang Huan said calmly, "Predict who will become the champion. The one who guesses right can easily lie down at night."

Lin Qingxia glared at Tang Huan in embarrassment, and ignored him again.

Due to the implication of the 15th anniversary, the content of this Miss Xiangjiang final was arranged very tightly, so that the time for the string performance was not too long, and it was only the duet of Lin Zixiang and Ye Qianwen.

What is a little bit special is that afterward, there was a link in which Shao Yifu presented an award to He Shouxin, who had worked for Miss Xiangjiang for 15 years.

It's definitely the highest honor for someone who works in a commercial television station.

The aging Run Run Shaw still has the task of presenting the award to the first Miss International Goodwill - Yang Baoling.

As for Miss Xiangjiang, the final result is: No. 3 Qiu Shuzhen, who "survived" by accident, became the third runner-up; On the throne, Li Meishan, the previous Miss Xiangjiang, crowned her with a laurel crown.

"Since then, there have been three more stars in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry." Tang Huan, who was muttering, raised his wrist, looked at the time, and then said to Lin Qingxia next to him: "Let's go, let's continue to "discuss work". .”

……

The so-called "work" naturally refers to "Mulan" starring Lin Qingxia, the first play of the summer program launched by Heung Kong Cinemas Group.

Compared with previous operations, this time the momentum is even greater because it is the first time that Heung Kong Cinemas Group has tried simultaneous releases in Asia, and soon it will be the turn of North America.

Its real meaning is not simply to synchronize the release time, but that the Hong Kong Cinema Group has the ability to coordinate the Asian film markets such as Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Formosa, Japan, and South Korea at the same time.

With all the help concentrated in one place, Lin Qingxia's movie career began to explode in the second round.

"I'm so tired." Lin Qingxia, who was about to fly to Singapore and Malaysia for publicity, kept complaining.

"No matter how tired you are, you only have to worry about one thing, but I have to worry about two." Tang Huan also shook his head and smiled wryly.

"That's what you owe us." Lin Qingxia gave the man a blank look.

What Tang Huan said is to have two minds, in addition to Lin Qingxia's film career to a higher level, there is also Deng Lijun's concert in mainland China.It has been basically confirmed, but the details in the specific implementation process are a bigger test.He will make arrangements for the next trip to the mainland.

……

When we left, news came from Taiwan that Mr. Jiang announced that the 7-year-long martial law in Taiwan will be officially lifted from 15:38 on July [-].

This change in the situation may not seem like a big deal from outside Treasure Island, but it is definitely a top priority inside Treasure Island.

Tang Huan was not surprised by this.In fact, this sign has emerged since the second half of last year.The establishment of the Democratic Progressive Party has never been strongly suppressed unprecedentedly. This is the biggest hint; _Strictness will be lifted soon; at the core meeting a week later, formal discussions on issues at the regulatory level will begin, and the official version will be announced on July 10 this year.

The lifting of martial law is just the most iconic event, and there will be more changes, such as the opening of foreign exchange controls. Back then, when Lin Qingxia’s family immigrated to the United States, Lin’s mother carried too much money with her. U.S. dollars failed to pass through airport security, causing a lot of trouble.Lin Qingxia, whose career was at a low ebb, could only fly to the United States alone in a low mood.Fortunately, Tang Huan met the meeting at that time and helped Lin's mother get out of the predicament.

Another interesting change is that the ban on sightseeing in Hong Kong and Macau has also been lifted.

In particular, Mr. Song mentioned that Mr. Xiao Jiang stated to his close colleagues more than once, "No one who has been away from home for 40 or [-] years does not miss home. This is human nature. The government should be optimistic about opening up people to visit the mainland. Success. I hope that everyone will transcend all regions, factions, and personal interests, broaden their minds, and set their sights on the mainland."

After Tang Huan arrived in Yanjing, he even got a draft of the relevant measures for receiving Taiwan compatriots formulated by the General Office of the State Council.

Along with Tang Huan was Shao Yifu. As the other party, of course, he could get the attention and grand hospitality of the mainland, but with the richest man, the details were relatively more worry-free, such as meeting high-level officials immediately.

Shao Yifu, who had also read the briefing document, said slowly, "If this situation develops, our films can take into account both the mainland and Taiwan markets, and we will no longer be able to survive in the cracks like before."

"Indeed." Tang Huan nodded approvingly, "The pressure of filmmakers sneaking to the mainland to film and being blocked by Treasure Island will ease a lot."

"DreamWorks has always been limited in this regard, but now it will lose its monopoly advantage." Run Run Shaw joked.

"This is also a good thing. I don't have to waste unnecessary favors in it anymore. I don't know how much I have saved." Tang Huan laughed.

……

At the beginning of this year, important changes took place at the top of the mainland.Therefore, the leaders Tang Huan and Shao Yifu met on this trip were slightly different.Of course, as a collective, attitudes don't change.

Lin Qingxia's "Mulan" has passed the test and was released in the mainland, so Tang Huan began to ask about the specific affairs of Deng Lijun's concert.

Different from the low-key Shanghai station of the last "One Billion Applause" world tour in 1984, this time the mainland's official media was loosened, and the momentum naturally rose immediately.

Deng Lijun has not yet arrived in the mainland, but Deng Wudi led the team to finalize the details one by one. After all, my sister is now a world-class star, and the concert will inevitably be given a special color, and there is no room for sloppy.

According to the plan, Deng Lijun's concert will be divided into two stops - Yanjing and Shanghai City, on August 8 and August 22 respectively.During this period, Deng Lijun will also visit her hometown.

"Is there anything else I can help with?" Tang Huan, who was about to leave Beijing, called Deng Wudi to ask.

"Now it's mainly a technical issue." Deng Wudi replied with some worry, "In order to achieve the best sound effect, we need to introduce a lot of equipment from outside, and my sister has her own band."

"Just hire a Boeing 747 from Xiangjiang Cathay Pacific." Tang Huan waved his hand and said, "Now, everyone and all the instruments should be able to fit, right?"

"Of course." Deng Wudi immediately handed over a document, "This is the official announcement I will release at the media briefing, please check if there are any mistakes in the content."

"You, this kind of trivial matter bothers me." Tang Huan shook his head and smiled wryly.

"My sister and I can rest assured that you check it out." Fifth Brother Deng jokingly said.

"No problem." After browsing through it, Tang Huan nodded and affirmed: "Your team has matured through experience and training, and I am also relieved."

Finally, Tang Huan pointed out meaningfully: "This opportunity is very rare. Maybe there will be no such conditions in the next few years. We must cherish and grasp it."

"Understood." Deng Wudi patted his chest and assured, "Then I will hurry to Xiangjiang to officially release the news."

……

On July 7th, the United Nations symbolically recognized a Yugoslavian baby as the 11 billionth person on earth, and announced that the earth's population had exceeded the 50 billion mark, and China's population accounted for one-fifth of it.

It is conceivable that the world superstar Deng Lijun received an official invitation to hold a concert in the mainland, what a sensation it would be. In addition to the Chinese media, even mainstream media in the Western world also reported on this grand event, and sent reporters to follow up and interview.

"Time" magazine even put the beautiful photos of Deng Lijun and Lin Qingxia as the cover, and praised enthusiastically: "This summer belongs to two Chinese actresses, and they will take the world by storm."
