Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

The ban on entertainment in Taiwan not only has a greater impact on the company, but individuals can also directly feel that the market has turned weak.

In the past few years, due to the constraints of Xiangjiang's structure, many artists whose careers have been unable to break through have been transferred to Baodao for development.

For example, Zeng Qingyu, the third runner-up of Miss Xiangjiang in 1978, is considered one of the leading actresses of tvb, but the competition in this circle is too fierce. Ying Gu in The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

After the contract with tvb expired, Zeng Qingyu switched to DreamWorks and became the emcee of the first Miss Chinese contest, and was then arranged by DreamWorks to develop in Taiwan to develop her singing career with great confidence. She really became popular Up, with the 1987 famous work What Eve is This Eve, she was shortlisted for the 23rd Golden Bell Awards in 1988 for the Female Singer Actor Award, and she has a great chance of winning.

There are not few successful examples like Zeng Qingyu, so many Xiangjiang artists willingly came to Baodao to expand their careers. After all, at this stage, it is an indisputable fact that in terms of entertainment industry interests, Baodao has more lucrative opportunities than mainland China.

DreamWorks, which has seen through this relationship for a long time, has always maintained a good cooperative relationship with the professional elites in Taiwan, and even sent top stars to help out the cooperation project at the request of the other party.

The biggest example in 1987 was the TV series August Osmanthus Fragrance starring Mi Xue and Liu Songren. Its success has even reached such a high level that the theme song Fate of Dust has become singer Luo Wen's most iconic masterpiece in Taiwan.

Currently, Mi Xue is in Treasure Island. According to the original plan, it is to promote the movie Phantom of the Tomb III: Flying Apsaras.

This is the third work in the Phantom of the Tomb series. The investment and shooting were very difficult, and a movie theater was even built in the northwest of the mainland to provide a real desert scenery.

Coupled with the need to go to the Dunhuang monuments for on-site shooting, the entire project has just been completed.

It's a pity that Phantom of the Tomb III: Flying Apsaras is also doomed to miss the Lunar New Year file here as soon as the ban on entertainment on the island comes out.

Tang Huan planned to go to Canada for inspection next stop, and happened to take Mi Xue, who was on a free schedule, with him.

Smelling the faint scent of sandalwood on the beautiful woman, Tang Huan joked casually: Did you just go to pay homage to the Son-giving Guanyin again?

Mi Xue gave the man a white look, and coquettishly complained: It's all because of your incompetence, which made me bother Empress Guanyin non-stop for so long.

Tang Huan shrugged innocently, I have facts to prove that there is nothing wrong with me.

This hit Mi Xue's mind, and she was depressed all the way.

As far as she knows, Weng Jingjing, who is 9 years younger than herself, is going to be a mother soon.

You know, Tang Huan has divided the sphere of influence for every confidante, and Mi Xue belongs to Canada. Among the big sisters born in the 1950s, only Mi Xue has nothing to do.

Seeing that Weng Jingjing, a new force in the 1960s, was about to catch up with her, Mi Xue was really anxious. Almost everywhere she goes, she pays homage to the most famous monastery in the area.

Of course, Mi Xue's eagerness to seek a child also has practical interests in mind - the industrial layout of the Tang family in Canada has already taken shape. As a representative, she has no children, so she can't control the situation.

...

Silicon One after landing at Vancouver International Airport,

Mi Xue, who was full of worries, packed up her makeup, followed Tang Huan, and got off the plane.

In addition to Feng Yongfa leading his subordinates to welcome the arrival of the richest man, Sydney also came to pick up his sister, and the two got into another car together.

Sydney is no longer the ignorant little girl who could be coaxed into elation by a few sweet words a few years ago. She and her younger sister, Apple, had to bite the bullet and entered a university preparatory course. Radio and TV stations, as a host, can be regarded as integrated into the mainstream society of Canada.

Of course, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Sydney still has a little escape in his bones. Seeing that Mi Xue was a little unhappy, she asked in a low voice openly: Sister, what's the matter? Could it be that brother-in-law didn't satisfy you on the plane?

You're talking nonsense, you don't look like a lady. Mi Xue gave Xue Li angrily, but in the end she couldn't hold it back, and confided her thoughts to her sister: Weng Jingjing, who is only one year older than you, is about to die. I have added a new member to the Tang family, but my stomach has remained undisturbed until now.

This is impossible. Xueli analyzed seriously: Sister, I want to remind you that my brother-in-law's investment in Canada has now been raised. Just the real estate projects in the Greater Vancouver area can't be counted on two hands. Come on. Richmond, in particular, is now a small Xiangjiang. Most of the Chinese immigrated from Xiangjiang have gathered there, and the properties purchased are almost all from the brother-in-law’s company. Such a great country, if there is no If the prince is in town, be careful that some vixen will captivate your brother-in-law, and a dove will occupy the magpie's nest in the end.

Mi Xue was getting more and more anxious by what her sister said, she pushed away the other person's little head in annoyance, frowned, and murmured: It's useless to rush this kind of thing, I can only hope that your brother-in-law is here in Canada. In a period of time, we can work hard to produce a result.”

Xue Li leaned over again, and suggested shamelessly: Would you like me to help my sister? The chances of two people will definitely be higher.

Mi Xue glared at her sister with a smirk, Don't try to be side-by-side with me, your brother-in-law doesn't like the type of idiot.

That's not necessarily true. Xueli rolled her eyes in disbelief, I don't believe that men can refuse the stimulation of sisters.

Mi Xue, who had a huge head, pushed away her younger sister's pretty face again, Okay, put away your absurd thoughts. I don't want your brother-in-law to misunderstand that I have become obsessed with his wealth.

As a gateway between Canada and Asia, Vancouver is one of the main hubs for water and land transportation on the west coast of North America.

After the Sino-British Joint Declaration was signed in 1984, it triggered a new wave of immigrants from Xiangjiang to Canada, and Vancouver was the first to receive a large number of immigrants from Xiangjiang, which brought major changes to the city's racial structure , making it an important Chinese town.

Tang Huan's investment in Vancouver is all-round, especially in real estate, computer software, and film and television production.

The reason for this is very simple.

People who can immigrate to Canada from Xiangjiang must have relatively rich pockets; when they come to a new place of residence, they must first buy a home. In the well-known Qinhe Group of Xiangjiang, the properties developed in Canada undoubtedly have a sense of intimacy and trust, and thus become popular.

The immigrants that Canada is willing to accept are often of relatively high quality, which naturally creates an excellent talent base for computer software and film and television production.

At the same time, Vancouver has a superior natural environment and rich tourism resources, and has a unique hardware foundation for building a film and television base.

In short, Canada, the back garden of the United States for a long time, has an excellent foundation in all aspects, and even EA's sports game development department-easports, is located here.

However, not all businesses have started to bring returns, and the media sector has always been in a state of loss.

When talking about this point, Feng Yongfa was very embarrassed. After all, this business is very in line with his personal interests and ideals, so he really put in a lot of effort, but he didn't expect the results to be so embarrassing.

New Era Media, a subsidiary of New Era Group, has invested in TV stations, radio stations, magazines and other businesses. Except for TV stations, the others basically cover the entire territory of Canada. And the big loss is precisely this TV station, and the eye-catching figure on the financial statement exceeds 4 million Canadian dollars.

The reason is not that Feng Yongfa and the management are incompetent, but that the Chinese-American group that Chinese TV stations face in Canada is a small minority, unlike Xiangjiang, which has a natural and strong ratings base; at the same time, The Canadian Video Commission’s setting of Chinese TV licenses can only be described as cheating, such as not allowing commercial advertisements, etc., making the livelihood of the entire circle difficult.

At this stage, there are two Chinese TV stations in Canada - Cathay Pacific TV and Canadian Chinese TV, namely New Era TV. Among them, the business scope of the former is limited to British Columbia, where Vancouver is located, while the latter is a national Chinese TV station affiliated to New Times Media, but according to the regulations of the Canadian Video Commission, it cannot be located in British Columbia for the time being.

Cathay Pacific TV was originally called World TV. In 1982, it obtained a regional subscription TV license issued by the Canadian Video Commission. The scope of broadcasting is limited to British Columbia. It serves the minority communities in the province in languages ​​such as Cantonese, Mandarin and Punjabi. Located on Cambie Street, Vancouver.

The rope around the neck of World TV is not allowed to broadcast commercial advertisements, and the income can only be paid by subscribers. As a result, it took only one year for the shareholders to taste the bitter fruit.

Fortunately, the Canadian Video Communications Commission announced in 1983 that it would issue a nationwide paid Chinese TV license, which gave world TV investors an opportunity to get out of the predicament - if the business scope is extended to the whole of Canada, the income will definitely be obtained. Substantial growth.

However, in 1984 the competition process for the license was fierce, with as many as four participants.

In the end, Mr. Feng Yongfa, the agent of the richest man, took advantage of his wealth and power to win the nationwide fee-paying Chinese TV license, which made World TV's plan come to nothing.

Next, the internal conflicts of this TV station intensified beyond control. Shareholders have serious differences on issues such as financing and company management.

Therefore, the board of directors of World TV decided in 1984 that World TV would voluntarily enter into bankruptcy administration, and several shareholders of World TV formed Cathay Pacific International Television Company to bid for the assets of World TV.

In the end, Cathay International Television successfully bid and was approved by the Canadian Video Commission in 1985.

Immediately afterwards, World Television changed its name to Cathay Pacific Television and moved its headquarters to West 39th Street in Vancouver.

However, the life of Cathay Pacific TV has not improved because of this. It mainly relies on rebroadcasting tvb programs to attract viewers and barely survives.

New Age TV, on the other hand, is also in trouble. This national paid Chinese TV license, like Cathay Pacific TV's license, has restrictions on the profit model such as not being able to broadcast commercial advertisements, and the broadcast time can only be eight hours a day, that is, from 5:00 pm to 1:00 am the next day.

What is even more speechless is that the Canadian Video Commission thought that one would come out one by one and temporarily issue regulations: Given that the Canadian Chinese TV broadcasting industry is in its infancy at this stage, the authorities believe that it is difficult for the Vancouver area to support the coexistence of two competing Chinese TV stations, so , to add a new clause to New Era TV's nationwide paid Chinese TV license, restricting the TV station from landing in British Columbia within three years of its launch, so as to ensure that the world TV, namely Cathay Pacific TV, can temporarily maintain its presence in British Columbia The status of the only Chinese TV station in Columbia.

In this way, New Era TV's nationwide fee-paying Chinese TV license has shrunk all of a sudden, and before it started broadcasting, it lost a considerable number of Chinese viewers in the Greater Vancouver area.

Under such circumstances, even with the support of DreamWorks, Media Asia TV, etc., in the first few years, New Era TV still fell into the embarrassment of being unable to cook without rice, and could only temporarily curl up in the Toronto area.

Tang Huan was calm about this, and comforted Feng Yongfa with a smile, The three-year deadline for the Canadian Video Commission has passed. British Columbia, which has a large number of Chinese, has finally embraced the new era of television. The future is bright. ℃≡ miào℃≡bi℃≡ge℃≡

Speaking of this, Tang Huan's eyes turned to He Shouxin who was sitting beside him, Besides, New Era TV now has a professional like Mr. He joining, so there is nothing to worry about.

He Shouxin hurriedly said humbly: To be valued so highly by the two bosses, I will definitely repay this kindness.

This gold medal master of ceremonies was originally treated as the first brother in Xiangjiang, and he has been the host of the 15th Miss Xiangjiang contest, which shows his status in the industry.

However, Feng Shui took turns, He Shouxin was involved in a sexual extortion case, so that he had to testify in court, and was instantly involved in the vortex of public opinion. He couldn't explain clearly anyway, and his reputation was seriously damaged.

How popular the public was at the beginning, how much they cast aside now, even if tvb wants to save this old courtier, there is no way.

In other words, He Shouxin went to Canada now, not to sharpen his head like other immigrants for safety, but to avoid the limelight as a last resort.

Having been appreciated and reused by Tang Huan and Feng Yongfa here, he can only describe his current state of mind with tears of gratitude.
