Chapter 230 The First Chinese Video Game
When Tang Huan came to the office of the comics department, he was not greeted by a group of respectful and respectful subordinates, but a lively discussion. It turned out that there were two TVs and Xiaobawang game consoles here, Feng Zhiming and Ma Rongcheng. Two seniors are engrossed in playing the first video game with a Chinese cultural background based on Jin Yong's novel "Tianlong Babu" - "Tianlong Babu: Six Meridians Sword", their master Shangguan Xiaowei and Others commented with great interest.
Don't be fooled by the so-called old-fashioned relationship between master and apprentice and senior brother. Among the people present, Shangguan Xiaobao, who was born in 1945, was the oldest. The rest were basically born in the 1950s and 1960s. Not necessarily as big as the name suggests.
This phenomenon is probably caused by the social status and industry ecology of the comics industry. As early as the early 1970s, the shrewd Huang Yulang pushed the production of comics to an integrated level, vigorously pursued the mentoring system, and first accepted the "Three Swordsmen" ", and then there are the "Four Great Generals", combined with a group of assistants in the later period, collectively known as the "Yulin Army".
However, this so-called master-apprentice system is actually nothing more than the relationship between employers and employees. In the final analysis, it is to control people.
Because, so far, the bosses of Xiangjiang Manga Production and Publishing House are all experts in the industry with excellent drawing skills. It is not difficult to see from this that many people have learned their skills and established themselves in their own schools.
After DreamWorks brought these people under its command, it also had to consider such complicated interpersonal relationships in terms of personnel management.
The development of "Dragon Babu: Six Meridians Excalibur" has been completed, and Tang Huan asked these traditional artists to test it by the way. Also let them understand their work. Except for movies. There is another prospect of adaptation.
It's also interesting to say that Hu Yinmeng, a talented female literary youth, has an unusually strong aura in front of these cartoonists. When everyone sees her on the scene, they immediately straighten their faces, like Ma Rongcheng and Feng Zhiming, who are in their twenties. The young man even blushed slightly, with a look of admiration in his eyes.
Tang Huan sat down in the middle. On the left are Hu Yinmeng, Zhu Bangfu, Sima Ling and other veterans, and on the right are Shangguan Xiaobao, Shangguan Xiaowei, Ma Rongcheng, Feng Zhiming, Niulao and others.
After looking around, Tang Huan felt that Tang Huan was full of talents, and nodded with satisfaction.
In the final analysis, at this stage, the economic size of the Xiangjiang comics industry has not attracted the attention of other media groups. At the same time, the interpersonal relationship in the comics industry is complicated. The "Shangguan family" was stewed with a spoonful.
In the original time and space, the 1980s was the golden age of Hong Kong-produced comics. Huang Yulang fully acquired the comic companies of Shangguan Xiaobao and Shangguan Xiaowei. Since then, he has dominated the rivers and lakes,
Opened the era of monopoly in the history of Xiangjiang comics. Created its "Four Great Masterpieces" - "Chinese Heroes", "Dragon and Tiger Gate", "Drunken Master", "Tathagata Palm".
But now, Ma Rongcheng, the main writer of "Chinese Heroes", has been packaged and recruited into DreamWorks. Huang Yulang is tantamount to breaking an arm and falling down a cash cow.
"Everyone, after watching the newly released "Dragon and Babu: Six Meridians Sword", you must have understood why DreamWorks invited you here and formed a separate department."
Seeing everyone nodded excitedly, Tang Huan smiled slightly, and then poured cold water on them, "Although the prospect is like this, first of all, you need to increase the influence of your works among the readers. I don't use this principle. Tell me more, I think you will understand."
Ma Rongcheng and these little fresh meats nodded desperately again, expressing that they were very clear in their hearts.
Tang Huan nodded slightly, "Then, everyone, work hard, and the remuneration should satisfy you. Next, I will share some of my views on the work of the comics department."
In the original time and space, the reason why Huang Yulang was able to manage the Yulang Group in the 1980s and successfully went public, reaching a net worth of 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, was not only an industry monopoly, but also an important factor. The division of labor into an assembly line-style assembly line operation, each step is handled by a different person.
Tang Huan doesn't want to engage in a monopoly of bullying and dominating the market in this industry. As long as he integrates the production of Chinese entertainment content, he will already have enough advantages, but this mode of division of labor and assistance must be introduced.
After Tang Huanyang talked eloquently, he pointed to Ma Rongcheng, "Your work "Chinese Heroes" operates according to the model I said."
In the original time and space, "Chinese Heroes" began to be serialized in "Golden News" in early September 1980, and now it has naturally taken shape.
Ma Rongcheng, who was only 19 years old this year, was named and promoted by the big bosses. His eyes lit up with excitement, and he clearly felt the envy of his fellow seniors.
"That's how it is. I, a layman, don't want to talk too much, so as not to interfere with your professional work." Tang Huan showed a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, and after chatting with Shangguan Xiaobao and Shangguan Xiaowei for a few words, Then he got up and left.
...
"Two, share more of Dreamworks' cultural industry affairs, so as not to tire my beautiful secretary." Tang Huan ignored Hu Yinmeng's blank eyes, and instructed Zhu Bangfu and Sima Ling, making them laugh out loud.
"Don't be ungrateful. Your ability is indeed improving step by step, but it is also very hard to deal with the gradual improvement of the structure of DreamWorks. I can't just fish out of it." Tang Huanyu said earnestly.
"If you think I'm incompetent, just get rid of me." Hu Yinmeng snorted, walked a few steps quickly, and left the three men behind.
"Miss Hu is an indispensable beautiful scenery in DreamWorks." Zhu Bangfu admired sincerely, "You really can't work too hard."
They joked and came to the game development department to express condolences to the members of the project team of "Dragon Babu: Six Meridian Sword".
In Tang Huan's view, "Dragon Babu: Six Meridians Sword" can only be said to be quite satisfactory, but it is enough to cope with the current Chinese market. What's more, these young people have been working overtime for several months with enthusiasm. Dedicated to the extreme.
"Tell me. What additional rewards do you need?" Tang Huan teased these subordinates with a smile.
...
"I want to help my sister get a signed record by Zhang Delan."
"Me too."
"I want a group photo."
...
Obviously, the last one to speak is the most ambitious.
But it can also be seen from this that the female singers created by DreamWorks have already begun to have the charm of idols.
"I thought you wanted a wife." Tang Huan shook his head slightly with a regretful expression.
"Boss, we regretted it, so let's change this condition." These guys hurriedly changed their words.
"It's already too late." Tang Huan laughed loudly, and turned his head to order Hu Yinmeng. "Find some time to take care of the requirements of these boys."
Hu Yinmeng nodded, and recorded it in her notebook. She could see that Tang Huan attached great importance to this group of technicians, and they should be cultivated as technical seeds.
"Since the game has been developed, it's time for Daxia Jin to appreciate it." Tang Huan mused.
In the TV series and movies adapted from Jin Yong's works, the actors' makeup photos are usually shown to them. This seems to have become a practice. Tang Huan feels that it is better for him to respect this face.
"I will contact the other party." Hu Yinmeng stretched out his wrist. Show Tang Huan the time, "Wang Jing and Cai Jiguang have arrived."
"Then go to the conference room and watch the pre-release versions of "Applause" and "The King of Thousand Kings." Tang Huan made a gesture. He still attaches great importance to the first film invested by DreamWorks.
...
"This Chen Baiqiang has been very popular recently, and he plays a role in TVB's hit drama "Turn Around"." Wang Jing introduced the gossip to Tang Huan, "I guess he can boost the popularity of this movie." box office."
Tang Huan smiled meaningfully, "Turn Around", it is estimated that Li's TV will soon kill it.
"When will you spend some money to build a theater chain? It will save me from going to beg those annoying managers. It's so annoying." Hu Yinmeng complained.
Good guy, what do you mean by "spending some money to build a theater circuit", this tone is too casual, it is not appropriate to take Hong Kong dollars as money.
Wang Jingji muttered, tilting his ears, intending to listen to inside information, even Cai Jiguang did the same.
"Just for the past two years, just be patient." Tang Huan replied briefly. At present, Xiangjiang's real estate industry is still on the rise, and when the next recession comes, we can find bargains.
In fact, Hu Yinmeng has already reviewed the quality of these two films, so there is no need for Tang Huan to watch all the content of the movie "Applause". After watching it for more than ten minutes, he put it down. The TV series "The King of Thousand Kings".
The theme song is "Steal Your Heart with Love" composed by Gu Jiahui, written by Huang Zhan, and sung by Wang Mingquan. Tang Huan nodded with satisfaction, and after enjoying the essence of the series specially edited by Wang Jing, he said with a smile: "Not bad, Well, let's make a movie."
"Mr. Tang, I have prepared a movie script, and you will check it out." Wang Jingshun took out a manuscript and handed it over.
What does it mean to be ready at all times is Wang Jing's current state. She was stunned by Cai Jiguang, and a thought inevitably flashed in her heart. This is the difference in being a human being.
"The Legend of the Sparrow Fighting Heroes." Tang Huan read the title and couldn't help but smile bitterly. His favorite gambling movie is of course "God of Gamblers". As long as there are Wang Jing and Zhou Runfa, the spirit of this movie can be matched The version in the previous life is similar.
But he thought about it again, after all, King of Bad Movies is still a novice, so he can't act too hastily.
Tang Huan looked at the ten lines at a glance, and threw it back to Wang Jing, "Go to Hu Yinmeng, and if she agrees, the project will be approved."
Wang Jing suddenly turned into a bitter face, thinking that this aunt is not easy to deal with, and thought you could directly approve it.
Hu Yinmeng raised her chin proudly, you wretched fat man, you still want to bypass my authority.
"Just see here, I have an important dinner." Tang Huancai didn't bother to pay attention to the check and balance relationship of the group of people under him.
...
After Zhao Yazhi reported the results he got from Tang Huan to Fang Yihua, he found that the other party was not disappointed, and praised Fang Yihua a few words "A Zhi has a heart". So she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, I have been taken care of by the other party recently. Now that I can repay the favor, I feel more at ease.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Zhao Yazhi got up to say goodbye, left the TVB main station building, and returned to her mother's house.
She is living her life as she pleases now. According to Tang Huan, if you don't have a script that suits you, don't force yourself. Instead of begging for perfection and working hard on filming, it is better to accept a few commercials from big companies, so as not to spoil the enthusiasm for work.
The more Tang Huan respected and considered her from the bottom of her heart, the more determined Zhao Yazhi handled her acting affairs with care, and now many people secretly talked about her airs.
Entering her mother's house, seeing her son crawling around on the floor with a new toy, Zhao Yazhi patted the little guy's butt dotingly, gave a warning, and then opened the closet.
"What are you looking for?" Mother Zhao came over and asked.
"A white dress." Zhao Yazhi replied casually, "I'm going to attend the boss Chow Tai Fook's banquet with Ah Huan later."
Mother Zhao nodded. Looking at the innocent grandson, he tentatively expressed his thoughts that he had been pondering for a long time. "Azhi, Hongzai can go to kindergarten now, I think it's okay to let him take our surname Zhao."
"It's better not to make extra troubles, there will be troubles over there." Zhao Yazhi immediately objected.
"Does he dare?" Zhao's mother sneered, "In the past, he relied on his own power to drag you down, and he used some shady tricks from time to time, but he was sent by Tang Huan. The lawyers are utterly terrified of suing in an upright manner.”
"You made such a sudden move, why?" Zhao Yazhi was still very hesitant.
"I'm doing this for the good of you and the child." Zhao Muyu sighed earnestly, "I went to Causeway Bay to see the boutique clothing store there, and it goes without saying that the business is good. Since Tang Huan gave you the shares, That's enough to show how much I love you, so it's better to draw a clean line from the past, anyway, we don't have to count on the child support there."
"Ah Huan can't tell how much he loves me, so he doesn't care about my past." Zhao Yazhi was a little dissatisfied with her mother's troublesome.
"Since he likes you so much, he should do it all the more." Zhao's mother was complained by her daughter, not only did not get angry, but also beamed with joy, "You are so young now, only 26 years old, and you will definitely have children with him. Hongzai brothers and sisters will be easy to get along with in the future, so naturally they should take advantage of the fact that the children don't have much memory now, and eliminate all the discomfort invisibly."
Zhao Yazhi blushed, didn't speak up, just took the skirt she found and gestured in front of the mirror.
Zhao's mother smiled knowingly, knowing that her daughter had acquiesced, she stopped talking about this topic, and asked curiously about the banquet she was going to attend.
The mother and daughter were chatting when they heard someone knocking on the door. Zhao's mother walked over and saw that it was Tang Huan, and hurriedly welcomed him in.
As soon as Tang Huan entered the living room, he saw the cheap son calling for his father and ran over. He laughed loudly, "Little guy, I can't let your little hands and feet stain my clothes, and I will go to a public place for a while. "
Next, the atmosphere is naturally incomparably harmonious. Amidst the laughter, Zhao Yazhi changed his clothes, finished dressing up, kissed his son, and left the house with Tang Huan and got into the car.
"Why are you smiling so blushing all of a sudden?" Tang Huan asked casually while flipping through the newspaper.
"Nothing." Zhao Yazhi shook her head. She just remembered that not long ago her mother said that she would bear children for the man beside her, so she was naturally embarrassed to say it.
The venue for the banquet was located in the New World Hotel under the name of Zheng Yutong. It was the first completed project of the New World Center and opened in December 1978.
The office building and serviced residence part of the west wing was completed in 1979, and the Regent Hotel, which is under preparation, will open in October this year.
As for the east wing office building and shopping mall, it is expected to be completed in 1982.
When Zheng Jiachun saw Tang Huan, there was no need to mention his enthusiasm.
After coming back from the Moscow Olympics, Chow Tai Fook's business boomed amidst various advertisements, and the Zhengs and his sons, who had made a lot of money, were naturally smiling.
There are countless social banquets held by Xiangjiang every day. If Zheng and his son hadn't reciprocated quickly and paid a lot of money to ask Zhao Yazhi to shoot an advertisement, Tang Huan might not have come to waste this time.
However, since he came, Tang Huan naturally wanted to do some sales promotion for his personal computer.
"Chow Tai Fook's business is either gold or diamonds. Naturally, the management of data information is particularly important. You don't plan to follow the times and adopt high-tech computers?" Tang Huan joked with Zheng Jiachun.
In the original time and space, in the late 1980s, Zheng Yutong announced his retirement, and his eldest son, Cheng Jiachun, took over as the managing director of New World Development.
However, Zheng Jiachun's investment strategy is relatively aggressive. After taking office, he has made multiple acquisitions, which has greatly increased New World's debts.
Zheng Yutong had no choice but to come back in 1991 and sell part of his business to reduce debts, such as reselling the shares of ATV to Lin Baixin.
Therefore, Zheng Jiachun is not so responsible. After hearing Tang Huan's talk about the computer information management system, he was suddenly moved. , Then some management software will be sent over."
It's okay, so far, the rich second generations of Xiangjiang I've met are quite organized in doing things, Tang Huan nodded secretly.
...
The next day, after Tang Huan arranged the new business, Hu Yinmeng came over to him with a strange expression on his face and told him, "Jin Yong replied that we can meet now, the sooner the better."
"This is not like the calm demeanor of Jin Daxia." Tang Huan also felt strange.
But no matter what, it is true that it is better to meet sooner rather than later.
When Tang Huan came to Jin Yong's office with a game cassette, TV and Xiaobawang game console, he couldn't help but be taken aback. He already had supporting equipment here, and the things he brought were redundant.
"Mr. Cha, this is the first Chinese-language video game "Tianlong Babu: Liumai Shenjian" adapted and developed based on "Tianlong Babu." Tang Huanle couldn't help but handed over the game cassette easily.
Then the next scene almost dropped his jaw to the ground. (To be continued..)
