Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 224: We have forged a beam

Compared with the first round of North American tour last year, Deng Lijun’s tour this year has clearly jumped to a level. This can be seen from the choice of venue. In New York, it is Lincoln Center, and in Los Angeles, it is the Los Angeles Music Center located in the city center. They are all recognized as the local cultural and artistic gathering place.

Of course, people enjoy music in these professional concert halls, the experience is definitely better.

Like Lincoln Center, the Los Angeles Music Center was also built in the 1960s. It was divided into three parts: the concert hall, Dorothy Chandler Hall, the theater, theater and music stage theater, and the fourth building—the famous rthall. The Walt Disney Concert Hall will not be completed until the next century.

The prestigious Dorothy Chandler Hall has more than 3,000 seats, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra resides here. Tang Huan met Zubin Mehta, the music director of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at Lincoln Center. Before quitting, he served as the music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic from 1962 to 1978.

It can be said that the current mix of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra is indeed very general. It is completely managed by the successor ern, Ernest Martin Fleischman, which will change its non-embarrassing status in the future.

In addition, I have to say that since 1969, Dorothy Chandler Hall has also been the venue of the Academy Awards, and this gimmick will continue for several years. And Deng Lijun's concert was held here.

The Los Angeles area is one of the areas with a relatively dense distribution of Chinese. Coupled with the relationship with Hollywood, there are not a few people in the entertainment industry who have emigrated.

Before the concert begins. Tang Huan has seen many Chinese stars, among which Liu Jiachang and Zhen Zhen are the most eye-catching. They had to rush to the United States to settle in the United States because the incident of Gu Minglun falling from the building caused a lot of noise.

Speaking from facts, Liu Jiachang is very talented, and even more commendably, he is still smart enough to get wealth and beauty by virtue of his talents.

Otherwise, Gu Jiahui of Xiangjiang would not be bad for his talents alone. But it's not that I can only work hard for tvb.

Liu Jiachang's shrewdness, the initial performance was that he went to college in Treasure Island from South Korea in 1962 as an overseas Chinese, because of the political needs, he had a lot of care for such students in the rules at that time.

In terms of career, he is more precise, creating pop songs and film soundtracks, being an actor and film director, and so on. He is busy, and finally became famous in the movie "Late Autumn" in 1972 and the movie "Plum Blossom" in 1975. It made him gain both fame and fortune.

In particular, the movie "Plum Blossom" further illustrates Liu Jiachang's talent in speculation.

The prevailing climate at that time was the official establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan in 1972, a treasure island that had close ties with Japan because of its colonial history. The senior management may be able to see this change, but the response of the people is very frustrated. Although it is not to the extent that it was abandoned by the United States last year and felt the world collapsed, its attitude has also become colder, so it is in the field of literature and art. , Anti-Japanese themes are very popular, and the movie "Plum Blossom" has won a full house against this background.

And Liu Jiachang's theme song of the same name, "Plum Blossom", is under the interpretation of Deng Lijun. It was eulogized for a while, but because the plum blossom was designated as the so-called "national flower". Naturally, it has been given political meaning, which can be seen from the fact that his name on the mainland is not well-known decades later in the original time and space.

Same as other directors on Treasure Island. Liu Jiachang also shot a lot of Qiong Yao-themed movies, even dancing with a pickaxe. He successfully digged into Xie Xian's corner and snatched Zhen Zhen from his hand. The two eventually ended in divorce.

Just when Liu Jiachang was proud of the spring breeze, the actor Gu Minglun, who had already talked about the marriage with actress Zhang Lu, suddenly fell to his death. Public opinion was in an uproar. This was why he had to abandon his prosperous career on Baodao. Five days after the incident, Quietly ran to the United States.

But savvy people can get along no matter where they go. Liu Jiachang started a restaurant, hotel and other business in Los Angeles. He also formed an "Oudiway Records Company" with Chen Qili, the boss of the Zhulian Gang.

In the original time and space, Liu Jiachang even played a side-ball with the political arena afterwards. What is more, because he was suspected of emptying the capital increase of several companies on the island of up to 600 million Taiwan dollars, and Zhen Zhen received a ten-year validity period. Wanted.

Regardless of the wind, Liu Jiachang's life is exciting enough, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a big winner in life.

But these are not worthy of Tang Huan’s attention to Liu Jiachang. What he remembered was that Liu Jiachang, who had held commemorative concerts everywhere in the second decade of the twenty-first century, was compared with Feng Feifei’s commemorative album. Deng Lijun's selling well, provoking a dispute between the two queens, and then frantically brushing up on the existence of things, which seems to be mean.

However, the scheming Tang Huan couldn't show his personal likes and dislikes on his face. He chatted with Cheng Long, who came to join in the fun, "Along, is the filming of "Killman" finished?"

"It's almost there. It is estimated that the theater will be released in the United States in September." Cheng Long's eyes flashed with excitement, "Mr. Tang, if he has time, please come over to join him."

It’s not so easy for outsiders to eat together in Hollywood. The original time and space of "Killer Trench" was mediocre in the United States. In Jiahe’s base camp, Xiangjiang was even more dismal with a box office of more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars. It can be regarded as a real disadvantage. .

"Is Jiahe issued in cooperation with Warner?" Tang Huan asked rhetorically.

"Yes." Cheng Long nodded.

"I'll try my best." Tang Huan rubbed his chin with beard and stubble. "One is because there are too many things, and the other is because I and Warner's game console company are fighting to the death and for fear of causing you trouble."

"This...so complicated." Cheng Long grabbed his hair and made a smirk.

"Even if I can't be there, I will join in." Tang Huan smiled and patted Cheng Long on the shoulder, his eyes fell on Lin Qingxian, who was having a good conversation with Zhen Zhen, and suddenly remembered something, so he got up and walked away. After going over, "Qingxian. Come here, I have something to discuss with you."

In the strange eyes of Zhen Zhen and others, Lin Qingxian blushed slightly. Somewhat reluctantly came over, "What is it. Do you have to say it in front of so many people?"

"Isn't this a matter of urgency? Tomorrow I will attend a very important banquet. You will be my female companion and go together." Before Lin Qingxia shied away, Tang Huan raised his hand to stop it and said domineeringly. "That's it. We will go pick out the dress together tomorrow morning."

Seeing Tang Huan finished speaking, he walked away. Lin Qingxian stomped her feet in dissatisfaction, but she had no choice but to return to her position.

"Who was that person just now? Looks like a good match for you." Zhen Zhen joked.

"It's just an ordinary friend." Lin Qingxian replied dullly.

"Ordinary friends are worthy of your joys and grievances." Lin Qingxia can see through this city palace, Zhen Zhen, who is a past person.

Lin Qingxia was silently right. When Deng Lijun appeared on the stage in full costume and started singing, the look in her eyes became more complicated.

Like when he performed at Lincoln Center, Deng Lijun sang mainly Mandarin songs in addition to two classic English songs such as "jambalya".

The atmosphere of this concert was obviously more enthusiastic than the previous one. This also illustrates the regional differences in the distribution of Chinese in the United States.

During the period, there was an episode, the singing stage, after a little girl ordered a birthday song for her mother. A man rushed to hand in a note, but Deng Lijun smiled and showed it on the spot, "Mr., did you order the wordless book?"

Everyone in the audience looked around and found that it turned out to be a blank sheet of paper, and the audience immediately laughed.

Seeing this scene, Tang Huan also shook his head with great interest, but he frowned soon, it turned out to be under everyone's humor. Liu Jiachang was pushed to the stage to sing "Plum Blossom" with Deng Lijun.

He was a little uncomfortable listening to the crowd yelling "a song from the master and apprentice". Don't take such a ride.

No matter how slander Tang Huan is, this link really pushed the atmosphere of the concert to a new peak.

Because I will attend Carter's banquet tomorrow. Although Tang Huan could achieve peace of mind strategically, he still needed to deal with it tactically, so he didn't appreciate the next night concert, wrote a note for his subordinates to give to Deng Lijun and then went back to rest.

Regardless of how tangled Lin Qingxia was in the multiple choice question, she was obediently pulled by Tang Huan to pick the banquet dress the next day.

Seeing the man next to him was very serious, Lin Qingxian couldn't help being a little curious, and joked, "It's strange for a big man like you to buy clothes with me, a little girl."

"No way, to meet the president of the United States, I can't let the Chinese image suffer." Tang Huan replied with a grin.

"Stop scaring people." Lin Qingxia snorted.

But when she followed Tang Huan into the Hilton Hotel, she saw the well-dressed celebrities, the humble reception staff, and the looming security guard, she couldn't help but believe a little bit, and she suddenly became nervous.

Feeling the trembling of Lin Qingxian's small hands, Tang Huan smiled and pecked the other's lips, "Your figure is really a clothes rack. Among the women at the banquet today, you are definitely the most beautiful."

Lin Qingxian, who was successfully attacked by Tang Huan and made the two of them so close for the first time, shamed the man's hand with her fingernail, but after being so harassed by the other party, her mood calmed down instead.

Undoubtedly, this banquet is a show. It is used to garner connections and join in the excitement. It is either rich in gold coins or high in prestige, but no matter what, there are not many oriental faces, like Tang Huanhe. For a handsome man like Lin Qingxia, he stands out from the crowd if he sounds good, but he is lonely if he sounds bad.

Fortunately, Tang Huan's mouth can not only make his woman fascinated, but also his ability to communicate with strangers is at the forefront of the world.

However, it was obvious that he was exploring the map too fast. After the fog cleared, he found that his opponent unexpectedly stood in front of him. Atari's parent company, the owner and CEO of Warner, was Steve Rose. , Was introduced by an enthusiastic guy next to him.

When the identities were compared, the two sides immediately understood each other's origins and positions, and Tang Huan's brain reacted faster. The first to say hello.

Steve Rose looked at Tang Huan for a while, and shook hands and said, "I heard that the market for Cassidy game consoles has now expanded to the whole world. New supporting advertisements will be coming out."

"It's just a small game console, and the profit is not high. Compared with the big business Atari and Warner, it's a far cry." Tang Huan replied with a smile.

In the original time and space, due to the great success of the 1982 movie "e.t. Aliens", Steve Ross began negotiations with Stephen Spielberg and Universal Pictures, planning to develop a game of the same name.

By the end of July of the same year, Warner announced that it had obtained the exclusive right to develop arcade and console games for the film.

Although the authorization details were not disclosed in the statement, it is said that Atari paid approximately US$20 million to US$25 million to Universal Pictures in order to win the game development rights. This was an unusually high price at the time.

Of course, this game became the last straw to overwhelm the camel, and Atari completely entered the countdown to collapse.

Steve Rose’s business experience is correct, and his commercial talent is definitely one of the best, but he did not realize the particularity of video games and even the entire high-tech industry, and instead helped a lot.

Therefore, Tang Huan currently has no plans to fight Steve Rose. When Atari loses Warner's loss, he will naturally sell it. Obviously, there is no direct competition between the two parties.

But Steve Rose, a Hollywood tycoon, where is Tang Huan so far-sighted. It can be predicted that Warner will abandon Atari in the future and withdraw from the video game industry.

You know, Warner spent more than 20 million US dollars. Buying Atari from Bushnell, and finally kicking it away with infamy, finally let Atari 2600, which spent a total of $100 million in research and development expenses, start to make money.

After being happy for less than a year, the Xiaobawang game console jumped out and began to compete with the Atari 2600.

According to a report by Atalilei Casa, the total sales of Cassidy game consoles in North America this year are likely to exceed 1 billion US dollars, which is almost 60% of the entire North American home electronic game console market. This is really jealous. .

Obviously, if there is no such thing as the appearance of Xiaobawang game console. This big cake will all belong to Atari.

What made Steve Rose even more **** was that Tang Huan had recently let ea. With a lot of money earned from selling Xiaobawang game consoles, he bought 40% of the shares in United States. It is very likely that this will enter Hollywood.

When I think of this, Steve Rose, who is 53 years old this year, feels a thorn in his heart. This little guy's vision is so steady and ruthless. It is said that he has grown and grown on his own. It has become a Silicon Valley entrepreneurial myth. This is too enchanting.

Regardless of the merciless use and cruel betrayal in the mall, Tang Huan still admires the Jewish business talents of Steve Rose. Relying on the father-in-law who runs the funeral home, he started from forming a taxi team and has now entered Hollywood. In a few years, it merged with Times to become Time Warner, which can be described as one peak after another.

It’s a pity that Tang Huan’s peaceful attitude made Steve Rose mistakenly believe that he was pretending to be a victor, pretending to break the garlic, and Tang Huan had been very active before, which made Steve a grudge. Rose decided that he was a man of opportunism, so he faced him with a cold face, and with color, I put it on the bright side to see your unpleasant piety.

You should know that Tang Huan employs thousands of employees. When meeting, he sits in the middle. At least dozens of elites are sitting down to their ears, and they are completely worthy of the superiors.

Naturally, the arrogance accumulated in Tang Huan's heart can be imagined.

I can ridicule myself and belittle myself. I can be regarded as a courteous corporal and approachable, but you can't put your nose on your face.

Tang Huan smiled and nodded, turned and left, sitting back in position.

Let me rub, this is what we have made. I want Warner to be pitted by Atari, and Time Warner will be pitted by AOL. I hope you don’t live until the 1990s as you did in the original time and space.

Lin Qingxian accidentally saw the sharp flashes in Tang Huan's eyes, she couldn't help but was startled, and quickly grabbed his hand and asked softly, "Why do you look a little unhappy?"

"I can't talk about it, I just met a business competitor. I'm not too speculative." Tang Huan replied lightly, holding Lin Qingxian's soft little hand instead, and clasping his fingers domineeringly.

Lin Qingxian gave Tang Huan a blank look, but did not resist.

At this time, a voice came from the door, "Mr. President is here," and the banquet hall quieted down, and the waiting people stood up to greet them.

In fact, UU reading www.uukanshu. Because of the delay in the resolution of the Iranian hostage crisis, Carter’s reputation has been severely damaged, and even Oscar has made mockery.

At the 52nd Academy Awards ceremony held in Dorothy Chandler Hall in Los Angeles on April 14 this year, the famous comedian Johnny Carson, who served as the host, verbally thanked US President Jimmy Carson. Carter did a lot of work for the smooth "broadcast" of this awards ceremony.

In reality, however, it is impossible for the President of the United States to have any influence on the normal broadcast of the Oscars.

The English word "release" also means release. Obviously, Johnny is using this American humor to satirize Jimmy's inaction in the Iran hostage crisis.

This kind of bad-mouthing of public opinion has caused damage to prestige, which can be said to be very fatal.

So when he saw Carter appear, Tang Huan couldn't help but muttered, do you know that he has not been sitting on the throne for a few months? (To be continued)
