Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Fortunately. Dong Qiao smiled and put the photos and negatives in front of Jin Yong, rejoicing in his heart, thanks to the fact that he was facing a newcomer just now, otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with.

Jin Yong nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, Is our reporter already in Shanghai?

Dong Qiao nodded, After tracking and reporting the official signing ceremony of the Sino-British Joint Declaration, they split into two groups and went south to Shanghai. However, exclusive headlines are probably hard to get. The media and Asia TV's interview team alone , is far stronger than us.”

We have our own unique reporting angle, and there is no need to compete with Media Asia TV for wealth and wealth. Jin Yong insisted on being shrewd as a businessman, The key is, has Deng Lijun agreed to an exclusive interview with Ming Zhou?

The spirited Dong Qiao replied: It has been implemented. Deng Lijun said in person that she likes the gentle and upright reporting style of Ming Pao Weekly. .”

Great, this exclusive interview is enough to guarantee our sales around the New Year. Jin Yong is very pleased, Hu Yinmeng hasn't contributed to Mingyue for a long time, what's her attitude?

Hu Yinmeng is currently in Los Angeles, USA. I have contacted her on the phone. She said that she cannot contribute to us due to her recent style of writing. Dong Qiao explained carefully.

Isn't Hu Yinmeng, like Yi Shu and Lin Yanni, looking for an excuse to raise the manuscript fee? These talented women, either don't lack money, or spend all the money they have, or are so frugal that they don't spend much money, so it's still in the manuscript fee What are you doing so persistently? Jin Yong complained and picked up the cup.

Hu Yinmeng has no problem with submitting manuscript fees. Dong Qiao showed a strange look on his face. She said that she can only write parenting books now, and Ming Pao Monthly definitely can't ask for it.

Jin Yong spit out a mouthful of water, coughed a few times and smiled wryly: I forgot. Why did she hide in the United States.

Dong Qiao quickly comforted: Ming Pao has us here, so you can rest assured and prepare for participating in the drafting of the Basic Law.

...

December 22. Saturday, the winter solstice of the lunar calendar, is the coldest time of the year, but the Shanghai Concert Hall, which has a history of more than 50 years, is warm and harmonious. The last stop of Deng Lijun's global tour is in this stage of China's economic center and Fashion Capital.

Although Tang Huan tried his best to emphasize that this was a purely artistic exchange, the actual reaction of public opinion would certainly not be that pure.

On the one hand, Deng Lijun's song was banned in mainland China last year. The mainland allowed her to hold a concert this year, which undoubtedly shows an open attitude to connect with the world; on the other hand, since the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, Baodao, which has begun to pursue the three noes policy, is a bit embarrassed.

It was no longer able to control Deng Lijun like in the original time and space. Not to mention Tang Huan's support, the bad influence caused by the Jiangnan case that happened not long ago left no room for those rough methods to gain a foothold.

In this case, there is only one way to go along the river, and of course you can comfort yourself that Deng Lijun's singing voice is the so-called pioneer of recovery.

After all. With Tang Huan's intervention, the reason why the two parties finally made a laissez-faire decision was largely due to their self-confidence in their internal control—it was just a performance. No matter how the outside world discusses it, it is a breeze, and the most pragmatic approach is to respect the preferences of Mr. Richest Man.

Compared with the calmness of the officials on both sides of the strait, the media's response can only be described as enthusiastic: in addition to the local media in Shanghai, foreign media including CCTV also came to join in the fun-whether it can be broadcast will be discussed later, first The material was collected; the overseas media flocked after covering the official signing ceremony of the Sino-British Joint Declaration.

This scene was a bit chaotic, and the parties in Shanghai who were in charge of the reception were overwhelmed. It also allowed them to experience what the demeanor of a world superstar looks like.

The more media you have, the more careful you need to be when dealing with them. Deng Lijun only held a 15-minute media meeting at the Mandarin Hotel where she stayed. He introduced his preparations for the concert and did not accept questions. Then under heavy protection, minimize contact with the outside world. Fortunately, nothing went wrong until the concert started.

Unexpectedly, the conditions here are top-notch. Looking at the elegant, solemn and European-style Shanghai Concert Hall, Tang Huan sincerely praised.

His deepest impression of this concert hall comes from the original time and space at the beginning of the 21st century. In order to cooperate with the road construction, the huge project of moving more than 60 meters and raising it by more than 3 meters was carried out.

This is a sacred place for senior performances. From a distance, we can talk about Mei Lanfang, a master of Peking Opera, and in a short distance, we can talk about the world-renowned flutist Lang Parr. They have all successfully performed here. Mayor Wang introduced with a smile, By the way, The 11th Shanghai City Spring Music and Dance Festival has been held this year, and the opening main performance is also held here.

The person in charge of the Shanghai Concert Hall interrupted and said: The most important indicator for judging the quality of a concert hall is the reverberation time. If the reverberation time is long, the music will be full and round; otherwise, it will be monotonous and dry. If it is long, it will affect the clarity.

He raised his finger and pointed to the layout inside the concert hall, and said proudly: The structure here just fits the shape of a narrow boot, and the reverberation time is 1.5 seconds, which makes the sound effect excellent. I believe that Ms. Deng's concert will be very artistic. Perfect.

Thanks to Mayor Wang's recommendation. Tang Huan laughed loudly, then turned his head and introduced the uniqueness of this concert hall to the entourage in English.

The business delegation that followed him to China this time is full of weight, and members include large international companies such as General Electric, Hewlett-Packard, and Motorola.

Needless to say, General Electric has reestablished trade relations with China as early as 1979; HP was directly introduced by the Ministry of Electronics Industry of China under the recommendation of former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and has already decided to establish it next year. Hewlett-Packard of China; as for Motorola, it belongs to Tang Huan's collaborators.

Not to mention, there are experts in this group of people, and compared with the Boston Symphony Hall, which was first designed using scientific acoustic principles, they made some comments on the Shanghai Concert Hall.

...

While chatting, the time for the concert to start arrived unconsciously. Zhao Zhongxiang, who served as the host for the first time in this year's Spring Festival Gala, took the stage to report. Tang Huan didn't expect him to deliberately enliven the atmosphere, as long as he could shock the scene.

The Shanghai Concert Hall can accommodate more than 1,100 people, but this capacity obviously cannot meet the demand. The actual audience should be close to 1500 people, very crowded. But the organization is similar to the Spring Festival Gala, in order.

Looking upstairs, Tang Huan could tell from the clothes and manners of some of the audience that many of them were art workers. They probably felt that the opportunity to enjoy the performances of world-class pop music superstars up close was too rare, so they didn't care about the cost. made a special trip to the scene.

Deng Lijun's songs are indeed very popular in mainland China. Let's take this year's Spring Festival Gala as an example. For the first time, artists from Xiangjiang were invited to perform. Zhang Mingmin became popular with the song My Chinese Heart, and Xi Xiulan's Alishan Girl is also popular, but Back to My Mother's Home sung by mainland singer Zhu Mingying is even more popular. Sales reached 5 million copies.

In fact, this song Back to My Mother's Home is the song Little Daughter-in-law Goes Back to Her Mother's Home sung by Deng Lijun in 1982. Zhu Mingying was deeply attracted after hearing it from a cassette tape given by a friend, but mainland China cannot Listening to Deng Lijun's songs publicly will not pass the review of the Spring Festival Gala. So Zhu Mingying followed Deng Lijun's ancestral home in Hebei, and passed the test in the way of Hebei folk songs and Back to her natal home.

It can be seen that Deng Lijun's songs are influential. Sometimes it is a kind of subtle influence. Many people in the mainland have come into contact with her music without knowing it, while the popular artists in Baodao at the same time are often busy running between shows to make money.

For this concert, Deng Lijun took great pains in the arrangement of the repertoire. First of all, she sang several classic old songs from the old Shanghai_Shanghai era, such as Song of Four Seasons and Singer Girl at the End of the World, which suddenly shortened the distance with the audience and received long and warm applause.

In the following interactive session, Deng Lijun expressed his deep gratitude to people from all walks of life who supported this concert. And made a simple cooperation with Zhao Zhongxiang, in response to the other party's request. A cappella sang a piece of Huangmei Opera, which is currently popular in mainland China, which is a piece of The Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers.

Then follow the mainland's classical music boom in the 1980s. Deng Lijun chose a few songs from her Chinese-style record of Tang Poetry and Song Ci, A Touch of Love. Perform a deduction.

The last song at the end is Wandering the Road of Life, which will be sung at every stop of the world tour.

To be honest, Deng Lijun's Shanghai concert was very cautious in all aspects, and there was no breakthrough in style. Of course, this does not mean that the standard has dropped, and the applause from the audience speaks for itself.

...

After the concert, Tang Huan deliberately searched for time and asked Deng Lijun, Your performances this year are not as dense as usual. Is your body able to bear it? Especially after completing the Shanghai concert, the world tour with one billion applause is not worth it. It is the consummation of merit and virtue. After the nerves that were tense before were suddenly relaxed, the fatigue suddenly surged up.

Be full of heart. There is a specialization in the arts. I have to deal with this kind of work alone. I have at least ten years of senior experience. Teresa Teng's eyes are shining, full of fighting spirit, Besides, in a few days it will be the battle of red and white songs How can I relax.

The highest goal of Deng Lijun's entry into the Japanese music scene is to participate in the red and white song battle. Seeing that she will get her wish in a few days, Tang Huan really can't stop it.

He nodded and said, Okay, then you can go directly to Tokyo tomorrow. You can avoid the troubles that may be caused by staying too long, and you can adjust your status in Japan earlier, recuperate and prepare for the war.

...

When Deng Lijun left Shanghai, the media naturally dispersed, and the world became much cleaner.

Tang Huan, who was completely at ease, attended the ceremonies of some cooperation projects with Shanghai City, including the semiconductor factory that the other party won from his hometown. It belongs to the sweet pastry.

However, these things are just a formality in the meaning of the title. The real highlight of Tang Huan's visit to China this time is the cooperation between AIA Satellite Company and the mainland aerospace industry.

Firstly, it is to witness the successful launch of Manya One; secondly, it is the entrusted restoration of Manya II and its subsequent launch.

This damaged communication satellite in geostationary orbit was originally the Western Union Star-6 of the United States, but after it was launched into the sky by the American space shuttle Challenger on February 3 this year, it failed to enter orbit; by November 12 this year On the 1st, the US space shuttle Discovery took advantage of the mission to recover it, and Tang Huan bought it and renamed it Huanya-2.

Hughes Aircraft Company of the United States also manufactured Hughes Aircraft Company of the United States. The satellite body is cylindrical, with a diameter of 2.2 meters, a height of 6.5 meters, and a weight of 1.25 tons. It has 24 C-band transponders and has a design operating life of 10 years.

Although the satellite is now damaged, its practical value remains undiminished after repairs. So Tang Huan aimed at it early, took the ownership, and took advantage of the situation that Sino-US relations were in the honeymoon period, and sent it to China for maintenance.

According to the launch plan, as well as weather forecast and other conditions, Manya-1 is scheduled to launch on the afternoon of December 28th. Tang Huan brought some shareholders or representatives of AIA Satellite Company directly to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to watch.

This is Tang Huan's second visit here, and it is ready to be opened to the public next year, so it is less mysterious.

Although Tang Huan remained calm and the high-level receptionist was calm, everyone was still very nervous.

Gein was responsible for the launch mission of the Long March 3 carrier rocket. When it was launched for the first time on January 29 this year, the engine failed. It failed to send the Dongfanghong 2 communication test satellite into the predetermined orbit, and finally ended in failure. .

In April of this year, the Long March 3 carrier rocket carried out the launch mission of the Dongfanghong 2 communication test satellite again. Although it was successful, there were problems during the positioning process, which was finally solved by unconventional methods, which can be described as full of risks. .

Therefore, the risk of this launch is still very high. At best, enough valuable experience has been accumulated; at worst, rocket launch technology is immature.

On the other hand, since Tang Huan visited the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center last time and paid homage to his parents, he started the satellite launch plan. The preparations on the Chinese side are still very sufficient.

After Tang Huan glanced at his watch, he looked at the launch pad far away under the clear sky. He thought that no matter how well prepared he was, sometimes it depends on luck. (To be continued.)
