Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 702 Entering Hollywood is just around the corner

"It's nothing surprising. I'm so anxious to lose. Naturally, it doesn't care about the face of the former king, and it does everything it can." Tang Huan didn't have too many surprises. At that time, the anti-Microsoft alliance that Gates sneered at as "NOICE" - "noise", in which "I" refers to IBM.As for now, the blue giant obviously saw that there was no hope of winning the frontal battlefield, so he planned to find another way.

"The industry in the United States is your real foundation. At this juncture, of course you have to go back." Zhou Mi, who was confident in controlling the situation in Xiangjiang, did not object to Tang Huan's departure, but asked: "However, your return to the United States is a matter of course." Things must be arranged in a natural and decent way, lest Qinhe mess up his own position needlessly. Didn’t you just see that Huang Yulang, a clown who is a jumping beam, just put a shit bowl on him, and many people were shocked and disturbed .”

"It's easy to cover up, and there's one in front of you." Tang Huan thought for a while and came up with a plan, "The box office of the movie "Mulan" in the United States reached 1 million U.S. dollars, becoming the runner-up of the summer film. This The results stimulated the entire Hong Kong film industry to generally believe that the time has come for Hong Kong films to successfully break into Hollywood."

"Due to Cheng Long's accidental injury last year, he was unable to help promote the film, so the release of "Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers", which was temporarily put on hold, has restarted. The United States is a key point, which can be regarded as helping Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao who are filming. "Die Hard" to warm up in advance."

"It just so happened that I took advantage of this general situation to return to the United States in the name of paying attention to film affairs."

"Then you should start spreading the word." Zhou Mi nodded in agreement.

Tang Huan laughed, "It's not enough to release the wind. I want to hold a celebration banquet and press conference in a dignified and splendid manner to summarize these achievements in film."

……

The No. 1984 box office movie in the U.S. summer this year is Paramount's "Beverly Hills Cop II" -- "Beverly Hills Cop II", which is a sequel to the 1 release of "Beverly Hills Cop II" and earned more than 5000 million U.S. dollars. , especially in the first week of its release, it set a record of more than 3300 million US dollars.

However, the 1 million US dollars of "Traveler II" is more than 5000 million US dollars less than last year's "Top Gun", which was also the summer box office champion and the annual US box office champion.

According to industry forecasts, even if "Spiritual Detective II" accidentally fails to maintain its annual US box office title, it will be difficult to fall out of the top three positions.

It can be seen from this that the current market in Hollywood is getting worse every year.

In Tang Huan's view, Hollywood, which is in decline, has basically fallen to the bottom, and Hong Kong films, which are rising fiercely, can only truly gain a place in Hollywood if they seize this rare opportunity while you are dying of illness.

The box office performance of "Mulan" in the United States has surpassed the previous most successful Chinese films "The Flower of Love" and the "Phantom of the Tomb" series, and even United Artists' signature "007" is also released this summer "The Living Daylights" - "Death by Daylight" also failed. Although its global box office is close to 6000 million US dollars, the US box office has not even reached [-] million US dollars.

The reason for success is nothing more than the accumulation of resources over the years, including talent reserves, distribution networks, etc., and it is time to accumulate resources.And "Mulan" perfectly integrates entertainment, artistry, and the novelty of oriental elements, making it a superior work, especially favored by Western audiences who emphasize women's rights.

Don't look at the siege of Xiangjiang Capital Market's Qinhe Group, which is likely to be overwhelmed by dark clouds, but the world has always been composed of countless circles. There is no need for outsiders who watch the excitement to follow the worries and become vegetarians——Singing Shengping is It is necessary, and both Media Asia TV and TVB naturally chose to comply with public opinion. During this time, they moved the cast of "Mulan" to the screen in different ways.

When the dust settled on the box office results, the great director Li Hanxiang, who had been cautiously keeping a low profile before, finally couldn't help but feel complacent, and began to express his heart vigorously.

For example, regarding Lin Qingxia's excellent performance in disguise as a man in the movie, Li Hanxiang recalled the old days and said: "Directors should be good at tapping the potential of actors. Shaw Brothers filmed "A Dream of Red Mansions" in 1977. , I was the one who advocated that Lin Qingxia play the role of Jia Baoyu instead."

Anyway, success or failure is based on heroes, even though there are always some weirdos among the Hong Kong film critics, they will not use the cliché of "exhausted talent" to go against the wind and commit crimes to tease Li Hanxiang, who is in the limelight for a while.

……

At the grand celebration banquet held for the movie "Mulan", Tang Huan, Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun and other bigwigs from the Xiangjiang Cinema Group showed up together, which shows how much they attach importance to it.

At the very beginning of the press conference, Jiang Zhiqiang, general manager of Heung Kong Cinemas Group, officially announced the operation status of the cinemas, especially the progress of the acquisition of several small American cinemas. hair dryer

In short, the current situation of Xiangjiang film industry is unprecedentedly good. It can be said that everyone is making money and everyone is smiling, especially everyone is full of confidence in developing the world film market including Hollywood.

When Tang Huan answered the reporter's question, he also agreed with this point, "It can be said that everyone has worked together to create a golden age for Hong Kong films, and entering the international market is the inevitable way for continued development. Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao and others are in the United States. The new work "Die Hard" filmed in Los Angeles is worthy of high expectations. After returning to the United States this time, I will pay special attention to the performance of "Die Hard" and hope that it can do a good job for "Die Hard" to be released next year. Warm up."

The reporter immediately noticed the information that Tang Huan inadvertently revealed sensitively, and immediately asked in surprise: "Tang Sheng, you mean that you will leave Xiangjiang for the United States soon? Then what should we do here?"

"What should we do here?" Tang Huan asked back with a smile, "The celebration party for the movie "Mulan" will definitely be held in the United States. Good preparation."

"Of course it means..." The reporter was tongue-tied for a while, not knowing how to express it properly, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, "Is this not nonsense, Xiangjiang's Qinhe department has been acquired by various parties, even if In the end, I was lucky enough to escape, but it will definitely hurt my vitality, so you can just leave without worrying?"

Seeing that this person was suddenly stuck, his colleague hurriedly took up his position and asked clearly: "Tang Sheng, recently, around the acquisition and anti-acquisition of Xiangjiang Electric, many unexpected situations have occurred, and the situation is getting worse and worse. It's complicated. Are you so relieved to be the shopkeeper?"

"I trust my colleagues very much, of course there is nothing I can't rest assured about. In fact, in my opinion, no matter how turbulent this takeover battle may feel, in the end it can only rely on real strength, grandiose, you come I will fight to the ground." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "Of course, you can also yell that I lost my money, and take a break for a while."

Hearing Mr. Richest's insinuation, everyone laughed knowingly.

In fact, although Huang Yulang's "Financial Times" headquarters was smashed at night, and there are surveillance videos to prove that there are doubts in it, the tricky lawyer he hired came forward and opened his mouth to say a few words, such as the effect of shooting at night is not clear enough. The paint buckets stored inside can also be used for personal use, etc., which can easily get rid of legal investigations-this can be regarded as a feature of Xiangjiang in this field, and it is not surprising.

Therefore, Huang Yulang is still alive and kicking, but his morals are getting lower and lower, and the public is more and more treating him and the media under his command as a sensational clown who uses it for fun when he is free.

In the relatively quieter VIP room, Shao Yifu started from this topic and said: "During this takeover battle, Tang Sheng's opponents were extremely active. Not long ago, someone came to lobby me, and they also took some targeted measures. actions to take advantage of the chaos.”

"Then how did Uncle Six reply?" Since Shao Yifu made no secret of the fact that he was "instigating rebellion", his attitude was ready to be revealed, but Tang Huan still complied with understanding and asked a question knowingly, okay. Give the other person a chance to show off.

Sure enough, Shao Yifu replied with a smile: "I made it clear at the time that I am too old to have the energy to mix such earth-shattering fighting skills."

"Then I would like to thank Uncle Six for his help." Tang Huan thanked him sincerely.

Shao Yifu said leisurely again: "Perhaps, going back more than ten years, I might take risks and participate in this kind of speculative action of 'dividing the local tyrants and dividing the land', but I really don't have the mood now."

Tang Huan was able to taste the subtext in Shao Yifu's words. After all, the sixth uncle in the early years was not as "kind" as he is now. It was only after he was terminally ill and was tossed by various Feng Shui masters that he began to think about it. Yin virtue, benevolence and good deeds.

I only heard Shao Yifu continue to say: "In my opinion, with Tang Sheng's strength, no matter how happy the opponents are, it is not a problem to keep defending. As long as they maintain this state, they are victorious."

"Thank you Uncle Six for your advice." Tang Huan laughed loudly, "That's what I planned too, to consume all these greedy guys to death."

……

"Tang Huan actually left Xiangjiang to go to the United States at this juncture. He was so arrogant that he didn't take the acquisition battle here at all." Huang Yulang said excitedly, as if he had long forgotten that he almost lifted a rock. The embarrassment of smashing his own foot.

"This is definitely God's secret help." Liu Luanxiong, who had been tense in his heart, agreed with great feeling and ease.

Li Bancheng, who was stunned by Shao Yifu, was speechless. He noticed that the Hang Seng Index would soon break through 4000 points, and felt a little uneasy about the current madness.

"Did Tang Huan really go to the United States for the movie?" Guo Henian frowned suspiciously and asked, "He won't be playing the trick of building plank roads in the open and keeping the warehouse in the dark, right?"

"I think it's normal. "Mulan" is a movie tailored by Tang Huan for his forbidden descendant Lin Qingxia. Now that he has achieved such a good result in the United States, of course he has to celebrate with his lover. People often do incredible crazy things for women, it is said that because of Deng Lijun's relationship, they once broke the wrist with Baodao, and even got away with it." Huang Yulang flaunted the news, and there was a hint of envy in his tone, but he just heard The eldest son of the Guo family who was sitting next to Guo Henian had an ugly expression on his face.

"There may be elements of Mingxiu plank road and dark storage, but there should not be many tricks in terms of capital. I guess it is some changes in the computer market in the United States, and Tang Huan has to deal with it himself. You know, his American The title of the richest man is mainly based on the high-tech industry in Silicon Valley." Pu Weishi pondered and analyzed: "However, the final result still needs to be sent back by the United States to verify the collected information. I believe it will not cost much. No matter how long it takes, everyone's eyes will suddenly open up."

Speaking of this, Pu Weishi shrugged his shoulders and said with a playful look: "I have to thank the richest man for his spare no effort to promote the digital revolution. The latest high-tech achievements can almost allow us to get news from the other side of the Pacific Ocean at the same time. Believe in this , Huang Sheng’s experience in the newspaper industry is even more obvious.”

"Damn high technology, damn surveillance." Huang Yulang cursed in a broken voice, which immediately caused everyone present to laugh. Emperor Yulang almost stumbled, which was also very funny in the eyes of people in his own camp.

In order to divert everyone's attention and stop making fun of himself, Huang Yulang quickly raised an issue, "That old guy Shao Yifu is so stubborn that he doesn't give face to the bosses, do you want to find a way to beat him?"

"Of course, he played a very bad role in leading the way." Pu Weishi said coldly: "I have already asked people to submit a motion to amend the Hong Kong government's "Television Regulations" to prohibit TV stations and their companies from operate other non-broadcasting related businesses."

The scheming of the HSBC Taipan immediately made everyone present take a breath of air.

Unlike Media Asia TV, which focuses on the media field, TVB has become a listed company in the form of an entire group. The main body is not just a TV station. Around this brand, it has also expanded its businesses such as publishing, records, travel agencies, and subway station convenience stores. It also holds part of the land for TV City in Clear Water Bay.

Once Hong Kong's "Television Regulations" are amended according to Pu Weishi's conception, the TV kingdom that Shao Yifu worked hard in his later years will inevitably be dismantled.
