Rebirth of the Tech Madman

In fact, Tang Huan did not expect that after a series of shareholder meetings and board meetings, the old forces of Jardine would be so cowardly. It has to be said that the defection faction represented by Niu Bijian has played a role beyond everyone's expectations.

Now that the situation is good, Tang Huan will certainly not be polite, and decisively weakened the old forces of Yihe.

After intrigue for such a long time, everything is finally all right now. The rest is nothing more than the running-in of the new team, the blunt knives of the remaining old forces, and the development of new business areas including investing in the mainland.

Seeing that Tang Huan was finally done, Hu Yinmeng couldn't wait to announce that the premiere of Dreamworks' new kung fu film Fang Shiyu will be held on Friday, June 18th.

This is a heavyweight piece of news in the entertainment industry, because DreamWorks is very well-known in the literary and art circles of Xiangjiang, and there are not a few people who have come into contact with the internal test screening of the Fang Shiyu sample. Although they did not disclose the details, they all praised it as a piece. A film that is stylistically enough to start a school.

With such a high evaluation, of course Jiahe and other colleagues were not convinced, but they dared not say anything clearly, because Tang Huan, the boss behind Gein DreamWorks, was too cruel. Moldy head, but also to come to join us.

As for the others, they are full of curiosity. The development of Xiangjiang films is now in the stage of the so-called new wave. To put it bluntly, it is a place where a hundred flowers bloom and explore, but it seems that no one has been recognized as the establishment of the new style.

In addition, everyone looked at DreamWorks with more and more vague expectations. You must know that Tang Huan not only has DreamWorks in Xiangjiang, but also has United Artists and MGM in Hollywood.

Now, the professional film magazine Film Biweekly. Each issue will have a section dedicated to introducing Western movies, among them. Hollywood is naturally the main event, and Tang Huan controls United Artists and MGM. It is the most important thing.

In the latest issue of Film Biweekly, a report that This year's North American summer film belongs to United Artists MGM made Xiangjiang people dubious, because the data listed in it were so shocking.

As early as the eve of the summer vacation, MGM's Conan the Barbarian occupied the No. 1 spot on the North American weekend box office rankings for two consecutive weeks, and even broke the restricted-level box office with a box office of about 10 million US dollars in the first weekend. Record of the movie.

When the summer season began, United Artists' Rocky 3 debuted first, with a box office of more than 12 million US dollars. It won the No. 1 weekend box office in North America on May 31.

On June 11, United Artists' e.t. Alien began to be released in North America, and it sat on the top spot of the North American weekend box office on June 13 very cleanly, with a score of more than 12 million US dollars.

But this is definitely just the beginning. Before its release, Tang Huan, who came back from Mashima, has attracted worldwide attention because of his strong recommendation in the name of cherishing peace. At the same time, e.t. Alien, which has positive film reviews, will further release its box office potential.

With three 10 million US dollars in a row, everyone who got this magazine was stunned. I can't believe it.

But then, English-language newspapers like the South China Morning Post, and Media Asia TV. It also proved the authenticity of the data in this report, and now everyone has to believe it.

Convinced, everyone began to lament that Tang Huan was not making money, but collecting money.

Since Tang Huan's performance in the Hollywood industry is so eye-catching, then Xiangjiang's DreamWorks must not be too inferior. Coupled with the advice of many optimistic people in the industry, it is not surprising that everyone's expectations are high.

If Fang Shiyu is well-received and well-received, Xiangjiang, the headquarters of DreamWorks, will respond well. With Tang Huan's relationship, he worked in Hollywood. It's so easy, it's a matter of course.

all in all. Tang Huan has the Hollywood resources that the Hong Kong film industry longs for, but has never had, so. No matter how jealous and suspicious Jiahe was, how uncomfortable Princess Jin was, and how Shaw Brothers had other plans, they all came to join him by coincidence.

As a result, outside the Sunbeam Theater at 423 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong Island where the premiere was held, there was a lot of traffic, and the reporters murmured in their hearts that DreamWorks’ face was so big that they shot the stars non-stop. And the demeanor of the big guys.

Tang Huan didn't come early or late on purpose, and after Xie Ning helped him take care of his personal image, he set off naturally.

On the way, they also picked up Zhong Chuhong who played Lei Tingting as the heroine in the movie Fang Shiyu. The purpose was naturally to build momentum for her.

When the car parked at the entrance of Xinguang Theater, Tang Huan looked at the lively scene outside the car and couldn't help laughing: This scene seems a bit big, and I have to walk the red carpet, which makes me feel like an Oscar awards ceremony.

Because there were a lot of people coming, Ms. Hu temporarily revised the plan at noon. Zhong Chuhong explained carefully.

Tang Huan nodded slightly, Are you ready? We're about to get off the bus.

No problem. Zhong Chuhong smiled sweetly, Everyone says I'm careless, and it's not without reason. For example, I won't be stage fright when I deal with such a big scene.

That means you have the potential to become a big star. Tang Huan laughed loudly, opened the car door and got out of the car, then opened the car door on Zhong Chuhong's side, held hands, and greeted the heroine who was dressed in gifts and costumes. .

Although she says she is not stage fright, Zhong Chuhong walking on the red carpet is still a bit unnatural, because there are so many fans or reporters on both sides, and those focused eyes alone form a pressure that cannot be underestimated. Holding Tang Huan's arm, her legs were so weak that she couldn't walk.

...

Mr. Tang, what is your opinion on Fang Shiyu and how do you predict its box office?

Like you, I watched this movie for the first time tonight, and there are comments to share. But I know the actors worked very hard, and I believe the movie will be exciting and touching. As for the box office, let it take its course, The key is the approval of the audience.

Mr. Tang, I heard that you intend to set up your own cinema for DreamWorks?

I do have this plan. After all, with the increase in the number of DreamWorks film productions, it will be more convenient to have its own theater.

...

After Tang Huan answered a few questions casually, he made a joke. You guys just stared at me, but ignored the beautiful heroine next to me. It seems that you are not a gentleman.

In the roar of laughter. The reporter asked Zhong Chuhong two questions for Tang Huan's sake. But after all, her qualifications are only a handful of movies, and her influence can be ignored for the time being. The so-called question is actually just a form of creating a sense of presence.

Walking through the red carpet, Zhong Chuhong went to find the crew, while Tang Huan chatted with Hu Yinmeng, You don't miss any chance to use me, how about it, how effective is my praise?

So-so. Hu Yinmeng snorted. Don't think that I don't know about Xie Ning, you are becoming more and more unscrupulous and ridiculous now.

I'm just letting my heart fly freely. Tang Huan shrugged and hurried away.

When passing by the crew of Fang Shiyu, Tang Huan didn't forget to ask for his health.

To be honest, compared with the current era, the martial arts design and movie effects of Fang Shiyu are quite difficult because they are advanced. This made the entire crew work hard, because many actors were injured in the fight.

To this. What Tang Huan can do is to compensate with red envelopes. Fortunately, everyone agrees with this method and gets benefits at the same time. He couldn't stop being grateful, Mr. Tang and Ms. Hu are really kind to people.

Tang Huanzheng was showing off his benevolence, and Mr. Huo greeted him with a big smile, Boss Tang, you've been making a lot of money recently.

Why, I have so much money that you dare not call me brother? Tang Huan joked.

In that case, my brother looks down on my character too much. After being beaten up by Tang Huan, Mr. Huo couldn't help being a little depressed.

Tang Huan accepted it when he saw it was good. The conversation turned and asked: Why are you here? Could it be that you are also interested in this movie?

That's one aspect. Mr. Huo let Tang Huan to a secluded place, You may not be clear. Xinguang Theater is now run by my family.

Really? I really don't know about this situation. Tang Huan was quite surprised.

It turned out that the Xinguang Cinema was located. It is the former site of the Xiangjiang Branch of the Commercial Press Printing Factory. It was originally used to build Block C and Block D of Qiaoguan Building.

However, in the middle of 1965, Qiaoguang Real Estate Co., Ltd. canceled the plan to build Block C and Block D of Qiaoguan Building, and instead built Qiaohui Building and a movie theater with stage facilities, which is now Xinguang Cinema .

The lobby of Shin Kong Theater was jointly designed by Wen Lou and Xu Dunle. It is equipped with a large revolving stage and dressing room, new projectors, audio and lighting equipment, and can accommodate 1,709 people. It opened on September 16, 1972.

From September 1, 1980, Xinguang Cinema was transferred to Xinguang Entertainment Co., Ltd., with Boss Huo as the chairman.

It can be said that from the beginning of its opening, Xinguang Theater has been famous as a large Cantonese opera performance venue.

But now, traditional art forms like Cantonese opera are on the decline. Even though DreamWorks launched a boutique TV series Martial Arts Emperor Flower last year, which aroused some people's interest in Cantonese opera, the general trend cannot be changed after all.

To put it bluntly, Xinguang Theater can be described as an art holy place, but precisely because of this title, the use of resources in Xinguang Theater must be considered to a large extent for traditional art activities, but in terms of commercial value, The oil and water are not considerable. If you want to make changes, you have to worry about complicated relationships and social public opinion, so it is difficult to implement.

The Huo family had been running the Xinguang Theater for nearly two years, but they found that the hard work was not worth the candle, and they wanted to quit.

Just at this time, it was rumored that Tang Huan intended to set up a theater chain, so the Huo family planned to let him take over. After all, Tang Huan owns a professional entertainment company—DreamWorks, which is far more comfortable than himself in the operation of Xinguang Cinema, and Tang Huan's background, contacts and financial resources are all very suitable.

Anyway, you want to set up your own theater chain. As a flagship movie theater, Xinguang Cinema is definitely qualified. Mr. Huo sold the deal openly.

It's easy for me to take over the offer, but I can't push it to take on the tasks of promoting traditional art, cultural exchanges between Xiangjiang and the mainland, Xiangjiang's official public welfare performances, etc., just like you, not to mention that there is no profit, and there are even The risk of losing money. Tang Huan said in a deep voice.

But you have DreamWorks, and it's easier to maintain profits than us. Mr. Huo chuckled, If it doesn't work, you can buy Xinguang Cinema and Qiaohui Building Shopping Center from Qiaoguang Real Estate Quan, anyway, you are not short of money.

Don't fool me. Tang Huan scolded with a smile, Let me think about this matter first.

At this time, Lei Juekun from Princess Jin, Zou Wenhuai from Golden Harvest, Run Run Shaw from Shaw Brothers and other leading figures in the Hong Kong film industry arrived one after another. Tang Huan got up and went to say hello.

When we met, Lei Juekun was a little embarrassed. The small tricks he made Xinyicheng do secretly were really cheap, but Tang Huan didn't mention that.

In Tang Huan's view, such small setbacks should be considered as upgrading the training of DreamWorks, and it is not worth wasting his energy.

Zou Wenhuai was much more eager, Mr. Tang, you are really admirable in Hollywood. I hope we can have a chance to cooperate.

It's not about calling the wind and calling the rain. Tang Huan said modestly, If we Chinese film practitioners can cooperate in Hollywood, that's really a dream.

Hearing the sincerity contained in these words, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but his eyes lit up, Then find an opportunity, let's sit down and have a good talk?

Tang Huan smiled and nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Cheng Long beside him, A-Long, I heard that your Master Dragon is very popular in Japan, congratulations.

It's a great honor to be noticed by Mr. Tang for my small achievements. Seeing Tang Huan take the initiative to greet him, Cheng Long smiled happily, but Zou Wenhuai stood by and watched, Cheng Long could only swallow a lot of words back in stomach.

After the members of Golden Harvest with different thoughts walked over, Fang Yihua, who was on the way, invited with a smile, The selection of Miss Xiangjiang is about to start. I wonder if Mr. Tang is interested in being a judge?

Speaking of this, Fang Yihua also joked, Speaking of which, if Mr. Tang hadn't attracted the attention of everyone in Xiangjiang in the past six months, this event would have ended.

Tang Huan smiled apologetically, and said frankly, Thank you, Ms. Fang, for being considerate of me, but I may not be able to arrange the time. Because of the Jardine matter, I will go to the UK to communicate and clarify.

A look of disappointment flashed across Fang Yihua's face, It's okay, then next year will be better.

I heard that Mr. Tang intends to set up a theater chain? After everyone sat down, Run Run Shaw also raised this issue.

I'm making plans. Tang Huan nodded.

Run Run Shaw was thoughtful, but did not continue this topic.

Under the guidance of the host, after the crew members of Fang Shiyu performed some entertaining programs such as martial arts performances, the movie officially started.

The first scene is that Qianlong was assassinated by Chen Jialuo, the chief rudder of the Tiandihui, in a dream, and Tang Huan played the role.

Accompanied by the very distinctive background music, Tang Huan was so handsome to the extreme, which made the unexpected audience dumbfounded. (to be continued)
