Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 424: The Plagiarism of ET Aliens

Compared with Tang Huan's busyness in introducing new products and stealing potential resources, Apple, which has been on the market for more than a year and a half, has obviously become a thing that can only talk.

It was quickly launched by acquiring the patented technology of the expansion card from Tang Huan. It has been fighting in the market for more than a year, and it is gradually showing signs of fatigue.

It will take several months for the Lisa computer to be delivered, and the changing the world that Jobs boasted will cost a long way.

Therefore, at this year's event, Apple can only continue to display its aging 8-bit computers, which is in stark contrast to the 16-bit personal computers promoted by Fangyuan Computer, IBM and other big names.

Therefore, Markkula said to Tang Huan without hesitation: Tang, I followed your suggestion and started the 16-bit CPU project on the basis of . In two or three months, Apple will have a new product, so you don’t have to wait for Lisa and it.”

Tang Huan didn't want to say much, but just smiled back. Gein adopted a series of authorized universal standard technologies such as the Fangyuan Computer ISA bus in the design, which is a bit similar to the Apple computer in the original time and space, giving up the processor and embracing the Intel platform. Happened silently. Mutations.

Obviously, such a choice by the R\u0026D team will definitely speed up the time to market.

However, Jobs was quite critical of this. He believes that although Tang Huan has basically withdrawn from Apple's board of directors. But it also affects Apple's product development. It's too funny.

However, Woz, who was built by himself, supported the project team's choice, and Markkula also strictly prohibited Jobs from approaching the project team.

In this way, the relationship between the three founders of Apple has become more delicate.

Although Tang Huan felt that the project team had done a very good job of spontaneously moving closer to the Fangyuan computer standard, it was also because of this. He couldn't praise it clearly, so he had to pretend to be deep.

After Jobs finished his show on the forum, he left Atlantic City without stopping.

It is said that during a speech at Stanford University, he became very interested in John Sculley, the president of Pepsi-Cola, so he planned to invite him to be the CEO of Apple. .

Tang Huan stayed a day longer than Jobs, and then hurried back to New York to deal with the sudden troubles surrounding e.t. Alien.

As the saying goes, there are many people who are popular. And e.t. Alien is now in the stage of being extremely popular,

Under the spotlight. In addition to praise and criticism, there is another voice.

According to media reports, the well-known Indian-Bangladesh director - Satyajit Ray claimed that e.t. .

In other words, Spielberg relied on plagiarism to create e.t. Alien.

In response, Spielberg responded positively, denying that there was plagiarism, and said that when Rey's script was circulating in Hollywood, he was still in high school.

As a result, Star Weekend Magazine immediately jumped out to slap Spielberg in the face with the attitude of a research party, refuting his statement, pointing out that he had graduated from high school as early as 1965, and started working as a director in Hollywood in 1969. Already working.

In addition to e.t. Alien lying on the gun, some people even believe that Spielberg's previous work Close Encounters of the Third Kind was also inspired by that Alien.

Perhaps the media felt that such a blow to Spielberg was not strong enough, so they went to Hollywood for interviews. As a result, veteran filmmakers Martin Scorsese and Richard Attenborough expressed their opinions, believing that Spielberg was affected by Influenced by Satyajit Ray's script.

Martin Scorsese is the man who directed Jodie Foster's Taxi Driver in 1976. He also filmed Raging Bull for United Artists in 1980. The results were well received, although Won an Oscar, but the movie almost lost money.

Richard Attenborough's work this year is The Biography of Gandhi. In the original time and space, it was this film that defeated the all-time favorite E.T. Aliens at the Oscars, thus winning the grand prize.

With the support of these two people, Satyajit Ray's statement became more and more credible.

I have to say that Spielberg, who is only 36 years old this year, still has too little foundation. If it is the 1990s in the original time and space, whoever dares to jump out and be so aggressive will be sprayed to death.

In Tang Huan's view, the more you defend this kind of verbal lawsuit, the more trouble you will cause, and it may even affect the box office of e.t. .

Therefore, Tang Huan quickly found seven Spielbergs who were dissatisfied and eight who were dissatisfied, in order to coordinate a way to resolve this dispute.

Spielberg still didn't know that Tang Huan came to him because of the alleged plagiarism of e.t. Alien, he only thought it was because of the change in the authorization of the video game adaptation of e.t. Alien.

Although it has been communicated on the phone before, Spielberg still apologetically clarified, Don, Warner boss Steve Ross is offering $32 million for the authorization of the video game adaptation of e.t. Alien .I think. Instead of letting this thing lie between you and the top management of EA to increase the rift. It's better to just give it to Warner.

You acted in full accordance with our previous agreement, and there is nothing beyond the rules, so you don't have to apologize. I don't feel any discomfort now. Tang Huan waved his hand, Besides, I can also share this through Amblin Company Profit.

Seeing Tang Huan speak so openly, Spielberg's mood also became happier, and he took out a manuscript with great interest. Handed it to Tang Huan, Tang, this is the sequel idea I wrote for e.t. Alien. Are you interested?

Fear of the Night... Tang Huan read the title softly and began to read the plan.

The content is that Elliott and his friends were kidnapped by evil aliens, and then tried to contact e.t. for help.

After watching it, Tang Huanning pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: Steven. The e.t. Alien currently being screened can be described as perfect. Its artistic appeal can even surpass political_political Barriers, ideology and other secular obstacles, I have a plan to push e.t. Aliens to China and even the Soviet Union.

This plan is too grand... Spielberg's eyes straightened, Is it feasible?

It's up to people, how will you know if you don't try it? Tang Huan smiled slightly, and then his face straightened, To be honest, Steven, your conception plan for e.t.2: Fear of the Night, in addition to destroying the original Nothing but childlike innocence.”

Spielberg blushed when he was told, and after a moment of silence, he smiled convincingly, It must be admitted, Don, although you are not a professional film practitioner, you have a very unique vision, and e.t. There's no need for a sequel.

It's fine if you agree. Tang Huan laughed heartily, To be honest, e.t. Alien is so popular now, I really want to make a sequel and make more money.

But you didn't make that choice. Spielberg showed curiosity, Don, you are very different from the Hollywood bosses I know, I guess if someone else sat in front of me, After seeing this concept plan, I will definitely support it with both hands.”

Steven, do you know where the first bucket of money in my career came from? Tang Huan asked leisurely.

Of course I know. Spielberg raised his eyebrows. The father of spreadsheets, of course, invented spreadsheet software. In fact, this has become an inspirational legend.

Tang Huan was so praised that he laughed, Then you may not know that writing software is actually an art. How to combine codes is the most concise and efficient. It tests the skill of every programmer, just like a movie is to a director. Same.

Speaking of this, Tang Huan made a chic gesture, I like making money, but I don't like to destroy artistry at the expense of it.

Suddenly, Spielberg nodded in admiration, Don, it may be because of your quality that I feel very happy to cooperate with you.

I hope that even if the video game adaptation authorization of E.T. Alien falls into the hands of Warner, it will not lose the root of artistry. Tang Huan seemingly inadvertently changed the subject, reminding meaningfully, Atari is now The mentality of making video games is very bad, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are eager for quick success, and the quality of their works is even inferior to third-party game developer Activision.”

Understood. Spielberg nodded approvingly, When I was negotiating the deal with Steve Ross, I asked to retain the right to choose the e.t. Alien video game development team, and other Details. It is estimated that it will take a month before we can fully reach an agreement.

That's right, Atari's development time for the e.t. Alien video game has been shortened by one month, and it's hard not to be in a hurry.

When I continue to promote the influence of the movie e.t. Aliens in the world, Warner will inevitably increase its resource investment in this game project. Then, Atari will die faster, and Warner will also The loss was even worse.

It's really cool to hide behind the opponent and let bloodletting secretly.

A smile appeared in Tang Huan's eyes, he got up and opened a bottle of red wine, and had a drink with Spielberg.

Steven, I heard that you were recently accused of plagiarism because of e.t. Alien, and you had a face-to-face debate with some people? Tang Huan began to talk about the real purpose of this meeting.

Hearing this, Spielberg looked depressed and annoyed, and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just shook his head and sighed, Hollywood's water is too deep.

I believe in your ability and character. After Tang Huan said something sincerely, he changed the subject and expressed his attitude firmly, I hope you can jump out of the vortex of this dispute and not let the media continue room to play.

Are you worried that this farce of public opinion will affect the box office of E.T. Alien? Spielberg looked directly at Tang Huan and asked.

It is indeed for this reason. Tang Huan nodded frankly, Judging from the current popularity of E.T. Alien, it will be similar to last year's annual box office champion Raiders of the Lost Ark, and it will be released until the end of the year .For such a long time, I don't want the box office of E.T. Aliens to be affected by off-site factors.

Okay, I'll listen to you. Spielberg, who was getting more and more angry with Tang Huan, nodded and agreed with an aggrieved expression, But even if I am willing to give up, the other party may not stop.

I will ask Mike Medavoy, the president of Orion Production Company, to come forward to reconcile the matter in private, and use money to silence their restless mouths. The interests of these people are nothing more than the same. Tang Huan smiled lightly, At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh with regret.

To be honest, Tang Huan sincerely hoped that in addition to personally jumping out to accuse the so-called plagiarism, big Hollywood companies could also join in the fun, so as to completely offend Spielberg.

But it is a pity that Hollywood bigwigs, including old rivals like Warner, have no leisure to talk about this idleness at all.

I got you a special screening of E.T. Aliens at the White House. With big-name audiences like the president and his wife, I'll see who dares to talk about it! Tang Huan snorted disdainfully.

Hearing Tang Huan's arrangement, Spielberg, who was a little sluggish, suddenly lifted his spirits.

Didn't you say that my e.t. Alien is suspected of plagiarism, so what if the president and his wife watched it specially?

Just as Tang Huan sent Spielberg away, secret news came from London, England, and the big fish was caught. (To be continued...) If you think Reborn Tech Maniac is very good-looking! Then please put the URL of this site! Recommend it to your friends and watch it together!
