Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

On New Year's Day in 1994, Gates' wedding was given, and the result was an unhappy breakup.

Everyone else thinks so. Everyone took the time to go this trip, it's a bit worthless-wasted expression!

However, Mr. Richest Man thinks that such face-saving projects are quite necessary - at least, on the surface, the powerful Tang's IT Kingdom has a harmonious relationship with its peers, and has given up some living space.

Compared with the disobedience shown by Microsoft, this general trend is much more important, and it can be transformed into evidence at any time to refute those arguments that monopolize the IT industry.

Of course, this is also related to the predictable threats that Microsoft, which has limited strength, can create.

Tang Huan, who calmly embraced the idea of ​​soldiers come to block, water comes to soil, after returning to San Francisco, he just asked his subordinates to be vigilant and pay attention to possible changes in the industry, including Microsoft, and then turned his energy to what he thought was more important. ——The unique work of carrying forward the past and opening up the future at the end of the year and the beginning of the year.

This year, Fangyuan and Zheru will adapt to the situation of economic globalization and make major adjustments in terms of structure and strategy. Relevant work will be fully launched in the first quarter.

Based on the core status of these two major companies, this kind of imperative to keep pace with the times can be said to affect the whole body—Tang Huan likes to lazily leave some important work to his subordinates, but the transformation is very difficult. The real crystallization of several years of hard work is not suitable for others.

However, the richest man is not so easy to calm down for his IT kingdom.

For example, the subordinates in Hollywood persevered in delivering the lively scene in front of his tycoon.

At this stage, the three major brands of United Artists, MGM, and Twentieth Century Fox, as well as their sub-brands, together account for nearly 35% of the North American film market—if you encounter something like e.t. For a special year like 1982, which was released, it would not be a problem if it was a bit higher. It is not an exaggeration to describe how proud the spring breeze is by walking sideways with the nostrils facing the sky.

Ever since, MGM and United Artists want to celebrate their birthdays together—MGM, founded in 1924, is 70 years old this year; United Artists, founded in 1919, is 75 years old this year. . Twentieth Century Fox, founded in 1935, wanted to join in the fun, but unfortunately it was only a year away from five or ten.

Tang Daheng was quite speechless about this - in terms of seniority in Hollywood, Paramount and Universal ranked first, okay? And even if you make some money, there's no need to be so ostentatious, don't you know that I'm afraid of hearing rumors about monopoly now?

But this group of executives is plausible - ten years ago, everyone was still running in; five years ago, the boss was not in the United States; A celebration, to show their dominance in the industry.

Seeing that these guys were so ambitious that they almost wrote the intention of see who dares not come to support directly on their faces, Tang Daheng didn't bother to care about it, but just pointed out one thing - it's okay to help build momentum, but don't expect I'm definitely going to both ceremonies.

As a result, MGM and United Artists had already negotiated to combine the two celebrations into one, which was scheduled to be held in mid-March before the Academy Awards ceremony.

That being the case, Tang Huan did not hesitate, and immediately instructed Yanle Entertainment to coordinate the relevant preparatory work from the group level. He himself also came to Los Angeles for inspection, and happened to visit the 1994 World Cup Organizing Committee at the same time—San Francisco and Los Angeles both provided The pitch required for this tournament.

...

While having dinner at Hu Yinmeng's residence, Tang Huan heard a message from the other party - the ambitious Spielberg wanted to work with Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Gerrard in addition to Amblin. Fern sets up a film company.

If you feel that you have enough skills, then you can challenge the existing pattern of Hollywood. Tang Daheng nodded flatly.

It can be said that the richest man is not surprised by this—Gein, so far, there is no need to repeat Spielberg's career success, and his pursuit is naturally not limited to wealth, which can be described as human nature; Jeffrey Katzenberg, whose heart is higher than the sky and whose fate is thinner than paper, is not difficult to guess the urgency to make a bloody way in Hollywood after being defeated in the political struggle of the Disney company. And when these factors are superimposed together, it is enough for people in this small circle to continue to move forward according to the historical track.

Although there was nothing new to speak of, Tang Daheng naturally had a curiosity in his heart, so he asked casually, What's the name of their company?

It's not listed yet, how would I know. Hu Yinmeng rolled his eyes.

Anyway, no matter what name you choose, DreamWorks will definitely not be able to call it. Tang Huan laughed playfully, I have already given you this title.

Don't give me the ecstasy soup. I'm actually an exploited person who worked for you—I used to be in Xiangjiang, but now I've been dragged to the United States. After Hu Yinmeng cut it, he continued to analyze: Spielberg asked I confided this plan just to give you a blow through me.

Tang Huan smiled and waved his hands, Just tell him clearly that I don't need to be a hindrance—only optimism will succeed.

You old and cunning guys, what you say is better than what you sing. Hu Yinmeng said unceremoniously: You must have recognized it in your heart. Spielberg, a small group, is at most in the production process. Flutter for a while.

I really don't care about the emergence of this new company. Anyway, Spielberg still has several movie contracts of mine - I can use them whenever I want. Tang Huan, who didn't care, changed the subject and said: Find an art film in your little theater, so you can change your mind and relax.

There just happens to be a copy of the latest Academy Award-nominated film, which will definitely satisfy you. Hu Yinmeng hurriedly opened with a smile.

Glancing at the copy label on Hu Yinmeng's hand, Tang Huan lazily said, I've seen Farewell My Concubine a long time ago.

I'm looking for this one for you. Hu Yinmeng picked up another copy, shook it, and added, Restricted.

In recent years, the films that MGM has participated in can be said to cover a wide range of themes, and meat and vegetables are not taboo.

Thepiano dug out by Hu Yinmeng - Farewell to the Piano is one of them.

Tang Huan frowned, Is that normal?

Of course. While skillfully operating the projector, Hu Yinmeng introduced, The highest honor at the Cannes Film Festival last year, the Palme d'Or, was shared between Farewell to the Piano and Farewell My Concubine. The former won the Oscar The latter was nominated for 8 Image Awards, and the latter was shortlisted for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards.

This year's highest Oscar honor should belong to Spielberg and Schindler's List. Other people and works are all characters who accompany the prince to study. Tang Huan's tone was very affirmative.

During the production process of Schindler's List, the richest man only provided some conveniences within the normal range. Warner's Steve Ross, was extremely enthusiastic. After all, they are a Jewish circle. It's just a pity that Steve Ross went to heaven to report before the movie was released.

Is it politically correct again? Hu Yinmeng muttered casually, and then turned the topic back to Farewell My Concubine, For the Oscar's Best Foreign Language Film, Xu Feng has already done public relations with me.

Then do whatever you want. Tang Huan replied nonchalantly.

The Happy Banquet directed by Ang Lee was also shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Farewell My Concubine won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and Happy Banquet did not come empty-handed. The highest award of the film festival——Golden Bear Award. Hu Yinmeng was rather embarrassed, As a result, we have all rushed together now!

Then did the director also come to public relations? Tang Huan asked absently.

One didn't come, the other came. Hu Yinmeng pushed the man dissatisfied, You can't use this as the standard for who to help.

If it's difficult, then flip a coin to decide. Tang Huan, who was gradually attracted by the movie, was a little impatient. With the help of the light, he saw a few coins in the nut box on the coffee table, so he picked one up and tossed one at a time. In the air, How simple, the result came out.

Just fool me. Hu Yinmeng punched the man angrily, What does the positive mean? What does the negative mean?

Tang Huan shrugged, Then throw it away later.

Seeing that the man was serious about watching the movie, Hu Yinmeng continued to chatter on purpose, The little girl played by Anna Paquin, who is less than 12 years old, is directed by Jane Campion from 5,000 people. Those selected from among them have already been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and, if awarded, would be the second-youngest winner in history.

Tang Huan has already recognized the little girl in the movie. She is the little rascal in X-Men released a few years later in the original time and space.

This little girl is really doing well. Tang Huan said in a rare serious way: Don't ignore political correctness—the Democratic Party in power wants to admit homosexuality within the US military, but it turned out to be disgraceful. The Republican Party took the opportunity to counterattack fiercely. Now, the topic of women's rights is politically correct.

Hu Yinmeng, a female literary youth, is convinced by the man in front of her that she is visionary, so she immediately muttered, You mean, this year's Oscars will also be taboo.

...

The background of the story of Farewell to the Piano is the last century. Ada, a young Scottish widow, has been unable to speak since she was six years old and can only communicate with other people through piano and sign language. Forced by her father, she left her hometown with her daughter and the piano, and married a New Zealand colonist, Stuart.

Due to the weight of the piano and the difficult journey, Stewart decided to abandon the piano and leave it on the beach.

In this regard, Ada felt extremely painful. She has lost the ability to speak since she was a child, and the only thing that can relieve her loneliness is the beautiful and moving music of the piano.

Finally, Ada turns to her new neighbor, Bance, for help. The other party said that they wanted to listen to her performance first.

So, Ada played affectionately by the beach, expressing the complicated emotions in her heart.

As a result, Bans was moved by the shocking music, and even understood Ada's inner world better than her husband, so he exchanged a piece of land for the piano from Stuart, and worked hard to transport it. go home.

In order to play the piano, Ada and the new owner of the piano, Bans, reached an agreement: she can play the piano in the past, but the price is that she needs to teach him how to play the piano.

It is not difficult to guess the direction of the next story, and the restricted level is limited here.

...

Tang Huan was a little skeptical, if Nv Wenqing chose such an art film for herself to enjoy, was she trying to warn herself that if the old Wang next door saw the right time and took advantage of it, he would be invincible.

Don't look at me with such eyes. This work by Jane Campion has a very profound theme. Hu Yinmeng, who turned on the light, teased, lying on the floor, looking for Tang Huan before throwing it out. that coin.

Looking at the undulating curves, the man suddenly rose up and rode up.

Don't make trouble. Hu Yinmeng laughed and cursed a few words, then suddenly exclaimed, Look at that coin, why is it standing in the gap in the floor?

Tang Huan glanced at it twice. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't take it to heart at all. That would be better, so you don't have to worry about what the front and back of the coin represent.

...

Tang Huan, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by a violent shock. He opened his eyes and saw that the whole house was shaking through the wall lamp.

What's wrong? Hu Yinmeng, who was also awakened, exclaimed.

Damn it, it must have been an earthquake. After Tang Huan cursed angrily, he calmly comforted his woman.

San Francisco should be fine. Hu Yinmeng immediately worried about his son.

It's so far away, of course it's fine. Tang Huan dragged Hu Yinmeng to the courtyard of the villa, only to see a commotion outside, and even the flames could be seen in the distance.

The earthquake lasted for less than half a minute and then ended, but then the first aftershock came.

Tang Huan secretly thought—in terms of population and building density, Los Angeles surpassed San Francisco. It is estimated that the damage caused by this earthquake will also exceed that of San Francisco a few years ago.

...

This is indeed the case. The initial estimate of property damage in the Los Angeles earthquake exceeded 30 billion US dollars.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the number of victims was not as heavy as it should be. The earthquake directly or indirectly caused 57 deaths and more than 8,700 injuries.

California quickly launched a rescue, and U.S. President Clinton also quickly allocated 400 million U.S. dollars—the richest man also naturally has greater ability and greater responsibility, so he donated 100 million U.S. dollars without saying a word.
