Chapter 284 Alternative Entertainment Forces

In addition to Baodao and Singapore, Xiangjiang and the mainland also have arrangements for the big gift package of the business delegation. This is Tang Huan's return to the rear after he went public through the back door of EA and was hailed as a richer number by Wall Street.

After all, no matter how good he is, Tang Huan understands that in the prefix of his title, there will always be an attributive - "Chinese", and this inherent attribute will never change.

And the support from ethnic groups is often the most direct and sincere.

However, the form of this gift package is different in different places. Singapore and Malaysia only have the same culture, while the three places on the Taiwan Strait belong to the real family. Naturally, there are differences in the degree of benefits.

There are people in power in Baodao, and the business delegation will inevitably have to do some face-saving projects to facilitate high-level exchanges, but Xiangjiang is currently only a British colony, so naturally there is no need to spend so much trouble.

What's more, Charles had to treat himself politely, and Tang Huan didn't care much about Xiangjiang's British guys.

Tang Huan’s routine is very straightforward, and the gift package resources are concentrated into two points: according to the future talent needs, carry out in-depth training plans with local universities, and send places to those who are worthy of further study in the United States; although Xiangjiang no longer has the production base here The objective conditions are poor, but it is suitable for building a consulting and service center.

The car came from the airport to the office building, watching people coming and going through the car window, Tang Huan frowned, "It seems that there is not enough space."

Yang Qinglin, who was in charge of picking up the plane, nodded, "It's thanks to the fact that DreamWorks mainly works at Media Asia TV. You know, the young people in Xiangjiang basically regard our company as the first goal of employment. They just recruited Come in a batch."

Tang Huan smiled contentedly. Between two years. It is not easy to raise the company's prestige in Xiangjiang to such a high level. Among them, the subtle influence brought by the management of resources in the entertainment industry cannot be underestimated.

First of all, the person who communicated the work situation was naturally careful, and there was still a lot of information accumulated during this period.

"You have brought so many important investors to the special zone, the leaders there are already very moved." Zhou Mi joked while picking out a document for Tang Huan to read.

Indeed, Epson's printers, Sharp's monitors and even TV sets, Levi's jeans, Hasbro's toys... can be described as pouring in, not to mention that the officials in charge of investment promotion in the special zone were stunned by the pie falling from the sky. Even the upper echelons of the province were shocked.

Tang Huan's own investment industry, the first to start construction is the Baleno brand clothing factory run by Zhao Yazhi, and then the production lines of data backup tape machines, magnetic tapes, and digital fax machines.

After such a long period of hard work, the production base of the first-generation Fangyuan computer has finally been fully completed.

The application of high technology has a certain lag, which is an objective situation that must be faced squarely.

In the original time and space, even in the mid-1980s, personal computers using 8-bit CPUs still had a large market in Europe.

The highly competitive American market was led by IBM into the era of 16-bit personal computers, but after Big Blue launched 16-bit 286 personal computers. It's a bit complacent.

Intel launched its first 32-bit CPU, the 80386, in 1985, and by 1987. Compaq, an ibm-compatible manufacturer, took the lead in launching the 32-bit 386 personal computer, and came up with a gorgeous counterattack, grabbing ibm's position.

From this timeline, it is not difficult to see the lag in commercial use.

In this time and space, objective conditions cannot undergo decisive changes.

Outside of the US market, 8-bit PCs will remain popular for a while, especially in underdeveloped regions where price is often the deciding factor.

Therefore, the first-generation Fangyuan computer production line still has good vitality.

Putting down the documents, Tang Huan shook his head with some emotion. The special zone is indeed a treasured investment land, with extremely attractive human resource costs and favorable tax conditions...

I just seized the opportunity when others still had doubts, but this exemplary Shun Shui favor is not ordinary.

"Your trip to the mainland in the second half of the year has been confirmed, but according to what you mean, you are all a family. There is no need to be so hypocritical. The big gift package will be sent out in advance before departure." Zhou Mi laughed and quoted Tang Huan's creation of " Big gift bag" noun.

Tang Huan smiled slightly after reading the information, "I'm probably returning home after a good job."

"However, the family members have repeatedly told you that it is better to keep a low profile. You have a criminal record." Zhou Mi reminded at the right time.

Tang Huan nodded noncommittally, "These are hard resources urgently needed by the mainland. I also want to make some articles on soft resources such as TV dramas and movies. Have you found relevant people to investigate?"

"We're still in contact and going through procedures. Everyone in this field has always been more cautious." Zhou Mi smiled wryly.

After the two talked for a while about the secret operations in the Xiangjiang investment market, Zhou Weikun and other personnel also joined the ranks of the work report.

There were basically no major problems. The only thing that made Tang Huan dumbfounded was that the development team of the video game "Peerless Twins" encountered a serious setback.

When developing the first Chinese-language video game "Dragon Babu: Six Meridians Sword", Tang Huan almost gave nanny guidance, but when it came time to develop "Peerless Twins", he wanted to train the team. , Cultivate the mind of the team, and start herding sheep, and the entire development team is full of confidence.

As a result, he wanted to add any good idea to the game, especially Gu Long would occasionally come to him to give advice, which eventually caused the entire project, from the perspective of software engineering, to lose its direction and scale out of control.

Tang Huan rubbed the center of his brows, and encouraged him gently, "It's okay, the company can still afford the loss, learn from the lesson, and start over."

The person in charge of the project team blushed and agreed in a low voice, not because he was shy, but because Zheru Xiangjiang Company was dragged down by investing in the mainland market, but it was an invincible existence in Xiangjiang. This failure record of his team . It was too conspicuous. Even when eating in the cafeteria. Can feel strange eyes.

In the final analysis, Zheru Xiangjiang Company has gathered a large number of high-quality young talents, and the competitive atmosphere is very strong.

In particular, many people are still thinking about how to find girlfriends in DreamWorks and Media Asia TV, so the importance of face is becoming more and more prominent.

Seeing that his old high-tech business was as stable as Mount Tai, Tang Huan waved his hands in satisfaction, announced the end of the meeting, and planned to inspect his entertainment industry next.

Zhou Mi reminded with a strange expression. "You'd better make some mental preparations. DreamWorks is now in the power of a group of strong women, and it's really uncomfortable to be out of the blue."

"Why, is it special?" Tang Huan couldn't help being curious.

"In private, everyone feels this way." Zhou Mi nodded seriously.

...

When Tang Huan arrived at Hu Yinmeng's office in DreamWorks, he found something different. There were many well-known women who had made great achievements in Xiangjiang's entertainment industry, such as Yu Teng, Xu Anhua, Lin Yanni, Shi Nansheng and others. It's like having a tea party.

Tang Huanxin said that Hu Yinmeng was quite capable of attracting people, and none of these women's soldiers were free.

DreamWorks does business with these people. Tang Huan was quite clear.

Because in last year's movie "Applause", Paul Chung had an intimate scene. But actually not too much.

But Xiangjiang Commercial Station was afraid of affecting the image of its artists, so Yu Teng, the director, expressed his dissatisfaction.

As for the young and vigorous Paul Zhong, who had had trouble with his boss before, he simply resigned from Xiangjiang TV and went to DreamWorks to make TV series for Media Asia TV.

Fortunately, in this incident, all parties have maintained a restrained attitude, and it has not caused any bad influence. Paul Chung is still filming the movie "Unemployed" with Chen Baiqiang and Leslie Cheung as usual.

Therefore, Hu Yinmeng and Yu Teng did not know each other at all.

The relationship between DreamWorks and Xu Anhua is relatively deep. In the upcoming movie "The Story of Hu Yue", not only DreamWorks artist Zhong Chuhong played the leading role, but DreamWorks also participated in the investment.

Lin Yanni is an old acquaintance, and Tang Huan specially instructed Hu Yinmeng to win Shi Nansheng.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Ke may not be able to make movies with peace of mind without Shi Nansheng, a virtuous housemate who does the logistics work well, including "The True Colors of a Hero", "Sword of the Horse", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Huang Feihong" and so on. Among other things, the movie that was both popular and popular came from the period when the two established a husband-and-wife film studio.

According to the historical development, in 1982, that is, next year, Shi Nansheng joined New Art City and became the administrative director.

It is not difficult to see that it is the most economical way to contact Xu Ke, a person of great character, through the link of Shi Nansheng.

Some corners still need to be dug out. Although Xu Ke is still a director who is not well received, but the movie "Ghost Horse Zhi Duo Xing" will come out soon, and it will naturally change his image at that time.

From this point of view, DreamWorks' way of operating power in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry is really a bit different-the pillow style route.

After turning this thought in his mind, Tang Huan couldn't help smiling, stood at the door, waved his hands, and said, "Go ahead, I won't bother you anymore."

Seeing that Tang Huan was about to turn around and leave, Hu Yinmeng quickly said, "I asked Le Yiling to show you the documents of the last quarter. The performance is pretty good."

Seeing Hu Yinmeng's happy look, Tang Huan followed her wishes and was led to another office.

Compared with last year's various investments, although DreamWorks has increased the burden of artists originally belonging to the TV station this year, its income has indeed increased significantly.

To a certain extent, this is due to Tang Huan's increasingly close relationship with Singaporean executives. Many TV dramas were quickly bought by TV stations in Singapore and Malaysia, and tvb could no longer monopolize this market.

Dreamworks remains cautious in its film operations, and there are the most uncertain factors. Among them, "Applause", which was independently invested, did well at the box office, and the same type of "Unemployed", the results can be predicted accordingly.

On a temporary basis, I introduced "Love Killing" into the French film industry, and achieved an achievement of hundreds of thousands of viewers, which can be called a good performance, but it is a special case after all.

The main operation method of DreamWorks is to participate in part of the investment like "The Story of Hu Yue", and at the same time recommend its own artists to play roles.

Like TV dramas, the record business is very optimistic, and Zhang Delan, who is taking the route of a female singer, is just becoming popular. Artists on the TV station also release albums from time to time.

More importantly. DreamWorks' infiltration of Polygram. The moistening was carried out silently, and the effect was quite promising.

As for comics, they are the most explosive. "Chinese Heroes", "Drunken Master", and "Tathagata Palm" have been published one after another. If this trend continues, Huang Yulang is likely to be left with "Dragon Tiger Gate" as his old book. gnawed.

After looking at the current overall situation of DreamWorks, Tang Huan also understood. No wonder Hu Yinmeng, a female literary youth, let go of her reserve to claim credit.

"I remember that the TV series "When I'm Mature" has already aired. How's the response?" Tang Huan put down the file and asked.

"When i.q. Is Mature" is a 20-episode fashion youth love TV series. The actors include Cai Fenghua, Zhong Baobao, Zhuang Jinger, Cha Baobao, Mo Shaocong and others.

In the original time and space, "i.q. When I'm Mature" was very popular after it was broadcast, and became one of Xiangjiang's classic dramas.

Tang Huan feels that in this time and space, the performance of "i.q. When I'm Mature" should be similar, and it can attract more young audiences for DreamWorks and Media Asia TV.

Sure enough, Le Yiling smiled and nodded, "It was very popular. At that time, TVB had just finished broadcasting "A Thousand Kings and Heroes". Media Asia TV immediately released "When I.Q. Is Mature", and the ratings were not lower than the other party."

Speaking of which. Le Yiling found the videotape of the first episode, and joked, "Mr. Tang, would you like to watch it? We usually record some programs to summarize our experience."

Tang Huan asked for the video tape with the Sony logo, and looked at it carefully, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Seeing this, Le Yiling couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, "Although this product is high-end, it's not enough to be noticed by a dignified billionaire."

"Play it for me to see how the image quality is." Tang Huan ordered after returning the video tape to Le Yiling.

"How about the image quality?" After hearing this, Le Yiling became even more puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and operated the video recorder honestly.

After admiring it for a while, Tang Huan sighed to himself, "Japan's technology is really at the forefront."

Le Yiling pretended to stare at the TV intently, and at the same time sighed secretly, the boss's mind is really different from ordinary people, I still haven't figured out what is going on in his mind.

"Pause." Tang Huan said suddenly, which startled Le Yiling.

At this time, the plot of "i.q. When I'm Mature" progressed to Paul Zhong and other three boys, looking for schools to enroll in the sixth form preparatory class.

As a result, they were blocked by a student union president at an boys' school, forcing them to join the association and accept protection.

Therefore, people like Zhong Baoluo were very scared, desperate, and finally chose to enroll in the Saint Laurent English Academy and became boys in a girls' school.

Tang Huan stared at the student who claimed to be the president of the student union and had a gangster background for a long time, and finally confirmed in surprise that the guest actor was the famous Zhou Xingchi in the original time and space.

Xiangjiang is really small enough, some people will always appear in front of him on his own initiative, and I don't know if he has entered TVB's artist training class.

"Is this actor signed to DreamWorks?" Tang Huan chuckled intriguingly, then pointed to the TV screen and asked.

"Probably not. His surname seems to be Zhou, and he is just a special actor. He used to work as a part-time office assistant in Li's TV." Le Yiling tried hard to recall, and answered slowly.

"Your work ability is excellent. It's really rare that such a small person can leave an impression." Tang Huan glanced at Le Yiling appreciatively, thinking that it's no wonder that in the original time and space, she was able to manage more than 800 artists in TVB.

"This is what it should be." Le Yiling was overjoyed to be praised by the big boss herself, but she was still humble verbally.

"Contact this person and try to sign him." Tang Huan finally began to order.

Seeing Le Yiling's bitter expression, he reminded, "If you really can't get in touch, you might as well go to tvh's artist training class to try your luck."

Le Yiling nodded in agreement, and at the same time prayed in her heart, it would be best to find the information of this person in the company, otherwise, it would take a lot of trouble, after all, this person was hand-picked by the boss.

"That's it, don't watch the videotape." Tang Huan has already had a direct impression of Sony's video recorder product, and Tang Huan doesn't plan to continue enjoying it. "By the way, when will "Fearless" be available?"

"According to the plan, it will be ready at the end of May and the beginning of June." Le Yiling replied with a familiar face.

At this time, Xiao Sheng came over. After seeing Tang Huan, his face was even more pleasantly surprised, "I have a new script, and I would like to ask Mr. Tang to give me some pointers in his busy schedule."

Le Yiling chuckled, and asked, "Uncle Sheng, is your script finished?"

"I have changed it completely according to Ms. Hu's request. It seems that some of my ideas really need to keep pace with the times." Xiao Sheng replied convincingly.

"So eager to come up with a new work, 20 episodes of "Ping Zong Xia Video Record" is not enough for you?" Tang Huan joked, took a glance at the script, the name is "Martial Arts Emperor Daughter Flower".

"If you have the energy to spare, just do more things, so that you can live up to Mr. Tang's kindness." Xiao Sheng smiled lightly.

Naturally, he would not say clearly that he had heard that Xu Xiaoming had already thought up a sequel when he was filming "Fearless", so he launched a new work unwilling to be inferior to others.

"It was originally planned to be 50 episodes, but Ms. Hu said that it is now the 1980s. The audience's preferences have changed, and even the pace of life has obviously accelerated. The script should be more compact. I deeply agree. This was readjusted to 40 episodes."

Xiao Sheng, like Wang Tianlin, is very old-fashioned. He didn't rely on the old to sell the old, because his script was dictated by a young girl and his mentality was out of balance. On the contrary, he quickly made corresponding changes. (To be continued..)
