Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 645: The Massive LiveAid

...

Dr. Emer Brown is a tech maniac who wants to make useful inventions, which can be seen from the footage of the actor Marty McFly visiting the laboratory at the beginning of the movie. 『≤『≤Small』≤say,

Amongst a mix of primitive and advanced objects, there is a Fangyuan computer in operation, with combinations of various musical notes flashing on the screen.

According to the extraordinary thinking of Dr. Emer Brown, music is just a combination of frequencies that make people happy, and a beautiful melody can be found in a mathematical way.

Marty McFly, who was preparing for the band's performance, turned on the horn enthusiastically, intending to hear if there was a beautiful melody available to trigger his creative inspiration, but the circuit was overloaded and burned.

...

Not surprisingly, this is a Hollywood movie advertising for Tang Huan's IT industry, and there are more than one.

...

After some necessary plot foreshadowing, Marty McFly came to 1955. By accident, he first met his parents in his youth, and then passed the test with Dr. Emer Brown to gain the trust of the other party.

The camera that recorded the experimental process of the space-time shuttle got several close-ups.

When seeing Dr. Emer Brown using an old electromechanical computer to assist in data calculation, Marty McFly immediately complained: I didn't expect to see this kind of old antique, my 1985 Fangyuan Personal computer, it is estimated that its performance is several blocks away from all current computers.

...

As a result, the comparison drew an angry rant from IBM. This type of electromechanical computer before Gein Electronic Computer was basically produced by Big Blue.

Isn't it okay for everyone to engage in business wars in an upright manner? How can you use movies to bury people?

In particular, when comparing, my logo was not allowed to show my face, and I was not given lines. It's so deceiving!

When outsiders watched the bustle with relish, they couldn't help expressing curiosity that it was difficult for them to understand that the two public companies with the highest market capitalization in the world should fight each other over such a trivial matter.

Soon, a well-informed industry insider gave an analysis and explanation: IBM's reaction is ulterior motives. The real direction of the spearhead is actually Fangyuan Computer's recent poaching operation.

The flow of talents between enterprises is normal.

But the premise is that the rules on commercial interests, confidentiality, etc. cannot be violated. Otherwise, it often means accompanied by a dispute.

The target of Fangyuan Computer's poaching this time is very special. It is the exile Don Estridge, the leader who led the IBM-PC to break through the world, but was seized in disguise because of a mistake.

From an outsider's point of view, Fangyuan Computer Company, which is full of vitality and infinitely attractive, should have no shortage of talents, and it may not be able to provide suitable positions for Don Estridge. After all, the other party is one of IBM's vice presidents.

However, Fangyuan Computer Company still offered an olive branch to Don Estridge. The superficial gesture was: IBM does not use such talents, but I use them! But in essence, it is very intriguing!

The relationship between Fangyuan Computer Company and IBM is of course mostly competitors, and Don Estridge is equivalent to the idol of IBM-PC. Now Fangyuan Computer Company wants to poach this iconic figure away, saying that it is drawing salary from the bottom of the pot Not too much.

The market share of IBM-PC has been firmly suppressed by Fangyuan PC, and there is no hope of turning around. If you lose another representative figure, then I believe it will not be too long before the curtain falls.

You said, how can IBM still sit on the Diaoyutai and keep calm?

What comforted Big Blue was that although Don Estridge was left out in the cold, he was still loyal and firmly ignored Fangyuan Computer Company's ominous flirtations.

But people's hearts are the most fickle, and IBM didn't dare to take it lightly, so it danced its long elephant trunk. Let out an angry roar, and threatened the western cowboy of Fangyuan Computer Company, You boy, give me peace of mind, and don't come here to make trouble!

Although the outside world has analyzed the ins and outs of this incident very clearly. However, the parties concerned have not made a formal statement, and they do not know whether this is the end of the story, or a new drama is brewing, making the onlookers feel itchy, and the various media, which have the sacred mission of exposing the truth, even resorted to resorting to it. Do everything you can. Look around.

At the charity concert LiveAid and Save Lives held in mid-July, Tang Huan was blocked by reporters eager to find out the truth.

...

By DotheyknoitsChristmas? Do They Know It's Christmas? , We Are the World, One World, Sunshine Always After the Storm and other iconic songs, after more than half a year of preparation, the LiveAid charity concert finally kicked off.

The main organizer of this event is the UK's Bob Geldof, who was involved in the launch of the single Do They Know It's Christmas? The musician.

Under his active running, singers from all over the world gathered together to create this grand event of unprecedented scale.

There are three main venues: Wembley Stadium in London, England, with 72,000 spectators; Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, USA, with 100,000 spectators; Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong, with 12,000 spectators.

In addition, the music scene in Australia and Germany is also organized to participate.

LiveAid is not the kind of ordinary concert that just brings together artists, venues, and audiences. Many TV networks and TV stations, including Media Asia TV, have jointly established an unprecedentedly large live broadcast network, which has covered more than 160 countries and regions around the world, with as many as 1.9 billion viewers.

This shows how technically difficult it is. In a loose system governed by public welfare goals, it took only more than half a year to coordinate and achieve it, which cannot but be said to be a miracle.

Or it can be said that people will always show their brightest side at this time, otherwise, it would be difficult to fully explain such a scene of unity.

Tang Huan's instructions to the technical departments of Pacific Telecom, Xiangjiang Telecom, and Media Asia Satellite Company are simple and clear: This is the second comprehensive military training after the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. It's time to test whether you are eating for nothing!

As for media such as Turner Broadcasting Company and Hong Kong Media Asia TV, although they have also encountered unprecedented challenges, similar activities are not rare in normal times, and they have accumulated good military training experience. No need to mention too much.

Obviously, the British, who have the first-mover advantage, have mastered the dominance of LiveAid. So, by Richard Skinner, presenter from the BBC. Be the first to announce the start of the concert.

It's 12:00 noon in London time, 7:00 am in Philadelphia time, and 8:00 pm in Hong Kong time. The LiveAid charity concert has started...

Due to the global time difference, the opening times of the three major venues will naturally be staggered.

After a pro forma lead at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Then let Hong Kong Hung Hom Stadium perform the opening performance; after an hour, it regained the initiative to perform the real opening performance; after another hour, it was finally the opening performance of the Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia.

So, the LiveAid charity concert became a marathon relay performance, with a total time of 24 hours.

During this process, famous singers in the music industry represented by each host took turns to perform on stage, such as Deng Lijun, Xu Guanjie, Luo Wen, Alan Tam, Chen Baiqiang, Leslie Cheung, Jenny Zhen, Xu Xiaofeng, Zhang Delan, Anita Mui and so on.

Compared with their counterparts in Europe and the United States, the strength of the Chinese music industry in Asia is inevitably weaker, which can be reflected in the types of music performed.

But there is no way, the mainland market has not formed. Lacking the economic foundation and market capacity, everyone can only focus on the development of this small place in Xiangjiang, and at most go to Baodao and other markets in Southeast Asia to walk the catwalk to earn some pocket money and fame.

Tang Huan, who lives behind the scenes, has reached the limit to promote this opportunity to show on the world stage.

Of course, not all of the big names were at LiveAid.

For example, rising American rock singer Bruce Springsteen was not there, for the simple reason that. He underestimated the impact of LiveAid.

Unlike the absence of LiveAid due to negligence, Michael Jackson, who created One World, voluntarily refused to participate in LiveAid. As for the internal reasons, it can only be said to be very complicated.

It has now become a global sensation. LiveAid said that it is just the pure crystallization of music and charity, how can anyone with a discerning eye accept it.

In the original time and space, the active organizer Bob Geldof, after a hard trip, gained both fame and fortune, and was awarded by the Queen of England and nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize that year. Then there is an additional layer of identity as a political activist.

This more or less shows that people always have motives in doing things, there is no love for no reason, no hatred for no reason.

It would be wrong to say that LiveAid has power struggles, but when it comes to some contradictions in purity, right to speak, etc., it should not be bad.

Although Michael Jackson, like Madonna, is his top brand, Tang Huan also respects the complex ecology of this circle, so he doesn't interfere with the other party's choice.

Anyway, there are far more than Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson who are absent from LiveAid.

LiveAid mainly solicits donations by phone, and viewers can use credit cards and checks.

In the beginning, the increase in the amount of charity money was slow, and Bob Geldof was so impatient that he sweared at the cumbersome operating procedures of the telephone method, which scared the BBC to quickly adopt harmonious methods to filter it.

But the much-anticipated LiveAid has countless people staring at it. Even if the sound is blocked, experts can still analyze what Bob Geldof said from the TV screen.

Although it was a little troublesome, fortunately, the final donation amount of LiveAid was satisfactory, exceeding 150 million pounds.

Tang Huan, who appeared at the Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, donated $500,000. He wasn't the one who donated the most, however, with the family of Dubai's ruler Al Maktoum donating £1 million.

This incident tells the media that the richest man in the United States does not mean the richest man in the world.

But the reporters were too lazy to pay attention to these numbers games. After blocking Tang Huan, they asked, Tang, I heard that because of your personal intervention, Penthouse and Playboy gave up publishing Madonna's photos? You Can you explain the terms of exchange?

Do you think I have a lot of time to spare? Tang Huan asked nonchalantly.

As far as he knew, Madonna who participated in LiveAid was also chased and intercepted by these reporters who were afraid of chaos in the world.

In order to increase sales and maximize profits, Penthouse and Playboy are naturally very good at whetting the appetite. The matter of Madonna's photos was promoted in advance, which aroused all kinds of people with different thoughts and ideas.

But unexpectedly, when that issue of the magazine was released, the agreed photo was suddenly canceled, which made everyone hesitate.

How can this work? We have all prepared articles to criticize a popular star. It is both pleasure and money. Why prevent everyone from experiencing the wonderful feeling of destroying beautiful things with our own hands? There must be something inside here!

Tang Huan's reputation for caring and supporting female artists has spread to some extent, and Madonna, a cash cow, is rising rapidly.

Faced with harsh questions from reporters, Madonna, who has always been a maverick, responded frankly, Those photos were taken when I was in New York to earn $25 for living expenses, and now I have bought them back. I don't want these unauthorized photos to be released to the public because 10 years from now, you may still attack me with this matter.

For this answer, the reporters almost dismissed it in unison, Just kidding, you can buy these photos back by yourself, do you have the energy? How could The Penthouse be so easy to talk about? Last year it just broke with photos. A Miss America, why are you making an exception?

The media has decided that there must be a big boss' hand reaching out. And even if it's not, they can concoct this fact however they want.

Isn't Madonna going to get married? If there is a Hollywood tycoon lying between the couple, it must be a sensational enough fun.

Can anyone tell me why so many collections have been added today? The recommended time for background notifications will not start until Sunday. (To be continued.)
