Rebirth of the Tech Madman

In fact, Tang Huan did not expect that after a series of shareholder meetings and board meetings, the old forces of Jardine would be so persuaded. It has to be said that the rebel faction represented by New Bijian has played a role beyond everyone's expectations.

Since the situation is very good, Tang Huan will of course not be polite, decisively weakening the old forces of Yihe.

After struggling for so long, now it's really all right now. What's left is nothing more than the running-in of the new team, the remnants of the old forces with blunt knives, and the development of new business areas including investment in the mainland.

Seeing that Tang Huan was finally finished, Hu Yinmeng couldn't wait to announce that the premiere of DreamWorks' new Kung Fu film "Fang Shiyu" will be held on Friday, June 18.

This is a heavyweight entertainment news, because DreamWorks is well-connected in the Xiangjiang literature and art circles, and there are not a few people who have come into contact with the "Fang Shiyu" sample internal preview. Although they did not disclose the details, they all praised it. A movie that is strong enough to establish a sect in style.

Such a high evaluation certainly caused Jiahe and other colleagues to be unconvinced, but they did not dare to say anything. Tang Huan, the boss behind Gein’s DreamWorks, was too cruel. He had just wiped out Jardine’s food, not only did they dare not stand up to the wind. Mouldy, but also to come to join in.

As for the others, they are full of curiosity. The development of Xiangjiang movies is now in the so-called new wave stage. To put it bluntly, it is a blossoming exploration, but it seems that no one has been recognized as a new style of "open sect."

In addition, everyone looks at DreamWorks with a faint expectation. You must know that Tang Huan not only has DreamWorks in Hong Kong, but also has Lianmei and MGM in Hollywood.

Now, the professional film magazine "Film Biweekly". Each issue will have a page dedicated to introducing Western movies, among them. Hollywood is naturally the highlight, while Tang Huan controls Lianmei and MGM. It is the top priority.

In the latest issue of "Film Biweekly", a report that "this year's North American summer archive belongs to Lianmei MGM" made Xiangjiang people dubious, because the data listed in it is too shocking.

As early as the eve of the summer vacation, MGM’s "Conan the Barbarian" occupied the top spot in the North American weekend box office rankings for two consecutive weeks, and broke the limit with a box office of more than 10 million U.S. dollars on the first weekend. Film recording.

When the summer vacation began, Lianmei’s "Rocky 3" first appeared, with a box office of more than 12 million US dollars. Won the No. 1 box office in the North American weekend on May 31.

On June 11th, Lianmei’s "e.t. Alien" began to be released in North America, and it was very cleanly placed on the top spot in the North American weekend box office on June 13, with a score of more than 12 million US dollars.

But this is definitely just the beginning. Before the release, Tang Huan, who came back from Falkland Islands, was highly recommended in the name of cherishing peace and attracted worldwide attention. At the same time, the positive film "e.t. Alien" is bound to further release its box office potential.

With three 10 million dollars in a row, everyone who got the magazine looked dizzy. I can't believe it.

But then, English newspapers such as the South China Morning Post, and Media Asia TV. It also corroborates the authenticity of the data in this report, and now everyone has to believe it.

Everyone began to sigh convincingly that Tang Huan was not making money, but picking up money.

Since Tang Huan’s performance in the Hollywood industry is so eye-catching, Hong Kong’s DreamWorks must not be too inferior. With the news of many optimistic people in the industry, everyone’s expectations are not surprising.

If "Fang Shiyu" is both well received and popular, it will respond well to Xiangjiang, the base camp of DreamWorks. Relying on Tang Huan's relationship, he moved to Hollywood. It's a piece of cake, and it's a matter of course.

all in all. Tang Huan possesses the Hollywood resources that the Hong Kong film industry is thirsty for, but has never had before. Therefore. No matter how Jiahe was afraid of suspicion, how awkward the Golden Princess was, and Shaw had other plans, they all came to join him by appointment.

As a result, at the location of the premiere, outside the Shin Kong Theater at 423 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong Island, there was a lot of traffic. The reporters whispered in their hearts that the face of DreamWorks was so great that they were constantly shooting stars. And the demeanor of you big guys.

Tang Huan didn't come early or late deliberately. After Xie Ning helped take care of his personal image, he set off naturally.

On the way, I also picked up Zhong Chuhong, who played the leading role in the movie "Fang Shiyu" and played Lei Tingting, naturally, the purpose was to build momentum and praise her.

When the car stopped at the entrance of the Shin Kong Theater, Tang Huan looked at the lively scene outside the car and couldn't help but smile: "This scene seems a bit big, and I have to go on the red carpet, giving me the feeling of holding an Oscars ceremony."

"Because I found a lot of people came, so Miss Hu made a temporary modification plan at noon." Zhong Chuhong explained carefully.

Tang Huan nodded slightly, "Are you ready, we have to get out of the car now."

"No problem." Zhong Chuhong smiled, "Everyone says I'm pretty big, and it's not for no reason. For example, if you deal with such a big scene, you won't be stage fright."

"That shows that you have the potential to become a big star." Tang Huan laughed loudly, pushed the door and got out of the car, then opened the door of Zhong Chuhong's car, holding hands, and welcomed the heroine dressed in gifts and costumes. .

Although he said that he is not stage fright, Zhong Chuhong walking on the red carpet is still a bit unnatural, because the two sides are densely packed with fans or reporters. Just the focused gaze has formed a pressure that cannot be underestimated, if it is not a hug. With Tang Huan's arm, she really felt so weak that she couldn't walk.

…

"Mr. Tang, what is your evaluation of "Fang Shiyu" and how do you predict its box office?"

"Like you, I watched this movie for the first time tonight. There are comments there. But I know the actors work very hard and I believe that the movie will be very exciting and moving. As for the box office, let it be. The key is also the recognition of the audience."

"Mr. Tang, I heard that you intend to form your own theater line for DreamWorks?"

"I do have this plan. After all, with the increase in the number of DreamWorks film productions, it will be more convenient to have its own theater line."

…

After answering a few questions casually, Tang Huan joked. "You just stared at me, but you neglected the beautiful heroine beside me, who seemed to be a gentleman."

In the laughter. Looking at Tang Huan's face, the reporter asked Zhong Chuhong two questions. But after all, her qualifications are just starring in a handful of movies, and her influence can be ignored for the time being. The so-called questioning is actually just a form of presence.

After walking through the red carpet, Zhong Chuhong went to the crew on his own. Tang Huan chatted with Hu Yinmeng, "You don't miss any opportunity to use me, how is it, what is the effect of my admiration."

"Just so-so." Hu Yinmeng snorted. "Don't think I don't know about Xie Ning, you are becoming more and more unscrupulously absurd now."

"I just let my heart fly freely." Tang Huan shrugged and quickly slipped away.

When passing by the crew of "Fang Shiyu", Tang Huan didn't forget to hush cold and ask for warmth.

To be honest, the martial arts design and film effects of "Fang Shiyu" are quite difficult due to the advancement compared to the current era. This makes the entire crew work hard, because there are not a few actors who are injured in the fight.

To this. What Tang Huaneng did was to compensate with red envelopes. Fortunately, everyone recognized this method and obtained benefits at the same time. I couldn't help but be grateful, "Mr. Tang and Ms. Hu, treat people so kindly."

Tang Huanzheng showed off his benevolence, and Young Master Huo laughed and greeted him, "Boss Tang, it's really a lot of money recently."

"Why, I'm so rich that you dare not call me a brother?" Tang Huan joked.

"In that case, my old man looks down on my character too much." Being beaten by Tang Huan, Young Master Huo couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Tang Huan accepts as soon as he sees it. The conversation turned and asked: "Why are you here? Are you also interested in this movie?"

"That's one aspect." Mr. Huo gave Tang Huan to a quiet place, "You may not know. Xinguang Theater is now run by my family."

"Really? I really don't know this situation." Tang Huan was quite surprised.

It turned out that the location of the Sunbeam Theater. It is the former site of the Xiangjiang Branch of the Commercial Press Printing Factory. The original purpose was to build Block C and Block D of the Qiaoguan Building.

However, in the middle of 1965, Kiu Kwong Real Estate Co., Ltd. cancelled the plan to build Blocks C and D of Kiu Guan Building and replaced it with the construction of Kiu Fai Building and a movie theater with stage facilities, which is now Shin Kong Theater. .

The lobby of Shin Kong Theater was designed by Wenlou and Xu Dunle in cooperation. The courtyard is equipped with a large rotating stage and dressing room, new-type projectors, sound and lighting equipment. It can accommodate 1,709 people. It opened on September 16, 1972.

From September 1, 1980, Shin Kong Theater was transferred to Shin Kong Entertainment Co., Ltd. with Boss Huo as its chairman.

It can be said that since the beginning of its opening, Shin Kong Theater has been famous for its large-scale Cantonese opera performance venue.

But now, traditional art forms such as Cantonese opera have faded. Even though DreamWorks launched the boutique TV series "The Martial Arts Emperor" last year, it has aroused some people's interest in Cantonese opera, but after all, it will not change the general trend.

To put it bluntly, Shin Kong Theater can be described as an "art holy land", but it is precisely because of this title that the use of resources at Shin Kong Theater must be considered to a large extent for traditional artistic activities, but in terms of commercial value, The oil and water are not big enough. If you want to make changes, you have to worry about complicated relationships and social public opinion, which is difficult to implement.

The Huo family had been operating the Shin Kong Theater for nearly two years, and found that the hard work was not worth the loss, and a retreat was born.

At exactly this time, it was rumored that Tang Huan intended to set up a theater, so the Huo family planned to let him take over. After all, Tang Huan has a professional entertainment company—DreamWorks. He is far more comfortable than himself in the operation of Shin Kong Theater, and Tang Huan’s background, connections and financial resources are very suitable.

"Anyway, you have to set up your own cinema chain. As a flagship cinema, Shin Kong Cinema is absolutely qualified." Huo Da Gongzi promoted the business frankly.

“It’s easy for me to take over, but I can’t push it to take on tasks such as the promotion of traditional art, cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland, and Hong Kong’s official public welfare performances. Just like you, it’s not profitable. The risk of losing money." Tang Huan said with a deep voice.

"But you have a DreamWorks. It’s easier to maintain your interests than we are to tear down the east wall and replenish the west wall." Young Master Huo smiled, "If it doesn’t work, you can buy the properties of Shin Kong Theater and Qiaohui Building from Qiaoguang Real Estate. Quan, you don’t need money anyway."

"You don't fool me." Tang Huan scolded with a smile, "Let me consider this matter first."

At this time, Lei Juekun from Golden Princess, Zou Wenhuai from Jiahe, Shaw Brothers Shaw's Shaw and other leading figures in the Hong Kong film industry came to the scene one after another, and Tang Huan got up to say hello.

When we met, Lei Juekun was a little embarrassed. The little moves he made secretly in Xinyicheng were indeed a bit of a drop in price, but Tang Huan didn't mention the problem.

In Tang Huan's view, such small setbacks are just to upgrade DreamWorks, and it is not worth his wasted energy.

Zou Wenhuai is much more eager, "Mr. Tang, you are really admirable for your work in Hollywood. I hope we can have a chance to cooperate."

"Calling the wind and calling the rain can't talk about it." Tang Huan said modestly, "If we Chinese film practitioners can cooperate in Hollywood, then we really cannot ask for it."

Hearing the sincerity contained in these words, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but shine, "Then find an opportunity, everyone sit down and talk about it?"

Tang Huan smiled and nodded slightly, his eyes turned to Cheng Long next to him, "Along, I heard that your "Long Master" is very popular in Japan, congratulations."

"My little achievement, it's an honor to be noticed by Mr. Tang." Seeing Tang Huan take the initiative to greet him, Cheng Long smiled with joy, but Zou Wenhuai was standing by and watching, Cheng Long could only swallow a lot of words back. in stomach.

After the Jiahe people with different minds walked over, Fang Yihua smiled and invited, "Miss Xiangjiang's selection is about to begin. I wonder if Mr. Tang is interested in being a judge?"

Speaking of this, Fang Yihua also joked, "Speaking of which, if Mr. Tang hadn't attracted everyone's attention from Xiangjiang in the past six months, the UU reading www.uukanshu.com activity would have ended."

Tang Huan smiled apologetically, and frankly told her, "Thank you Ms. Fang for being able to look down on it, but maybe it's impossible to schedule it. Because of the Jardine's matter, I will go to the UK to do some communication and clarification."

A disappointed look flashed across Fang Yihua's face, "It doesn't matter, then next year will be fine."

"I heard that Mr. Tang intends to set up a theater?" After they sat down, Shaw also mentioned this problem.

"Planning." Tang Huan nodded.

Run Run was thoughtful, but did not continue the topic.

Under the guidance of the host, after the members of the "Fang Shiyu" crew made some fun shows, such as martial arts performances, the film officially began.

In the first scene, Qianlong was assassinated in a dream by Chen Jialuo, the chief rudder of the Tiandihui, and the actor was Tang Huan.

Accompanied by the extremely distinctive background music, Tang Huan pulls the style to the extreme, making the unexpected audience stunned. (To be continued)
