Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 611: Launch of Media Asia 1 satellite

...

"Fortunately not insulting my life..." Dong Qiao smiled and put the photos and negatives in front of Jin Yong, rejoicing in his heart. Thanks to the newcomer he had just faced, otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with each other.

Jin Yong nodded in satisfaction, and then asked: "Our reporter is already in place in Shanghai, right?"

Dong Qiao nodded, "After tracking and reporting the official signing ceremony of the Sino-British Joint Declaration, they split into two groups and headed south to Shanghai. However, the exclusive headline is estimated to be difficult to grab. It is only the interview team of Media Asia TV. , Is far stronger than us."

"We have our own unique reporting angle, and there is no need to make a fortune with Media Asia TV." Jin Yong insisted on being a businessman's shrewdness. "The point is, did Deng Lijun agree to an exclusive interview with "Ming Zhou"?"

The energetic Dong Qiao replied: "It has been implemented. Deng Lijun personally stated that she likes Ming Pao Weekly's gentle and square reporting style. After participating in the red and white song battle, she will go to Xiangjiang to complete this interview. ."

"Great, this exclusive interview is enough to guarantee our sales around the New Year." Jin Yong is very pleased. "Hu Yinmeng hasn't contributed to "Mingyue" for a long time, right? What is her attitude? "

"Hu Yinmeng is currently in Los Angeles, USA, but I contacted by phone. She said that the recent style of writing cannot contribute to us." Dong Qiao explained carefully.

"It's not that Hu Yinmeng, like Yishu and Lin Yanni, is looking for excuses to raise the manuscript fees. These talented women, or they don’t lack money, or they spend all they have money, or they are too frugal to spend money, they are still on the manuscript fees. What are you doing so persistently?" Jin Yong complained and raised the cup.

"Hu Yinmeng doesn't have anything to do with manuscript fees." Dong Qiao's face showed a strange look. "She said she can only write a parenting scripture now, and she definitely can't ask for it in Ming Pao Monthly."

Jin Yong squirted out a mouthful of water, coughed a few times and then smiled bitterly: "I forgot. Why did she hide in the United States."

Dong Qiao hurriedly comforted: "We are here in Ming Pao, so you can prepare for participating in the drafting of the Basic Law with peace of mind."

...

December 22. Saturday, the winter solstice of the lunar calendar, coincides with the coldest time of the year, but the Shanghai City Concert Hall, which has a history of more than 50 years, is warm and welcoming. The last stop of Deng Lijun’s global tour is at this stage of China’s economic center. And fashion capital.

Although Tang Huan strongly emphasized that this was a pure art exchange, the actual public opinion reaction would certainly not be so simple.

On the one hand, Deng Lijun's song was banned in the mainland last year. The mainland allowed her to hold a concert this year, which undoubtedly shows an open attitude towards the world; on the other hand, since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, Baodao, which has begun to pursue the "three nos" policy, is slightly embarrassed.

It was no longer able to control Deng Lijun like in the original time and space. Not to mention Tang Huan's backing, the bad influence caused by the recent "Jiangnan Case" alone made those crude methods no place to stand.

In this case, there is only one way to go, and of course you can comfort yourself as Deng Lijun's singing is the so-called "recovery" pioneer.

After all. With Tang Huan's intervention, the two parties finally made a laissez-faire decision, to a large extent because of their self-confidence in their internal control-a performance. No matter what the outside discussion is, the breeze is blowing, and respecting the preferences of the richest man is the most pragmatic approach.

Compared with the calmness of the officials on both sides of the strait, the response of the media can only be described as enthusiastic: in addition to the local media in Shanghai, foreign media including CCTV have also come to join in the fun-can we talk about it when it will be broadcast? The materials were collected; overseas media even flocked to them after the official signing ceremony of the Sino-British Joint Declaration, and even the media from Baodao also mixed with the media in Xiangjiang to get the materials for on-site reports.

This scene is a bit messy, and the parties in Shanghai and the city responsible for the reception are overwhelmed. It also allowed them to learn what the demeanor of a world superstar looks like.

The more media that join in, the more careful you have to deal with. Deng Lijun only held a 15-minute media meeting at the Wenhua Hotel where he stayed. I introduced my concert preparations and did not accept any questions. Then, under heavy protection, minimize contact with the outside world. Fortunately, until the concert began, nothing went wrong.

"Unexpectedly, the conditions here are top-notch." Tang Huan heartily praised the Shanghai City Concert Hall, which is elegant and solemn and European style.

His deepest impression of this concert hall came from the original time and space in the early 21st century. In order to cooperate with the road construction, he carried out a huge project of more than 60 meters in translation and more than 3 meters in elevation.

"This is a veteran performing holy place. From afar, Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang, and from afar, the world-renowned flute player Lang Paer has successfully performed here." Mayor Wang introduced with a smile, "That's right. The 11th Shanghai Spring Music and Dance Festival has been held this year, and the opening main performance is also held here."

The person in charge of the Shanghai City Concert Hall intervened and said: "The most important indicator for judging the pros and cons of a concert hall is the reverberation time. The long reverberation time will make the music sound full and full; on the contrary, it will be monotonous and dry. Long words will affect the clarity."

He raised his finger at the internal structure of the concert hall, and said proudly: "The structure here fits the narrow boot shape, and the reverberation time is 1.5 seconds, which makes the sound effect excellent. I believe that the artistic effect of Miss Deng's concert will be very good. perfect."

"Thank you for the recommendation of Mayor Wang." Tang Huan laughed loudly, and turned to introduce the uniqueness of this concert hall to the accompanying people in English.

The business delegation that followed him to China this time is full of weight, and its members include large international companies such as General Electric, Hewlett-Packard, Motorola and so on.

Needless to say, General Electric, this century-old demon rebuilt trade relations with China as early as 1979; HP was directly introduced by the Ministry of Electronics Industry of China on the recommendation of former U.S. Secretary of State Kissinger, and it has been set to be established next year. China's Hewlett-Packard Company; as for Motorola, it belongs to Tang Huanla's collaborator.

Not to mention, there are experts in this group. Compared with the Boston Symphony Hall, which was originally designed using the principles of scientific acoustics, the Shanghai City Concert Hall had a good opinion.

...

During the chat, the time for the concert to start came unknowingly. Zhao Zhongxiang, who was the host of the Spring Festival Gala this year, appeared on the stage for the first time. Tang Huan didn't expect him to deliberately enliven the atmosphere, as long as he could shake the scene.

The Shanghai City Concert Hall can accommodate more than 1,100 people, but this capacity obviously cannot meet the demand. The actual audience should be close to 1,500, which is very crowded. But the organization is similar to the Spring Festival Gala, in an orderly manner.

Tang Huan looked from upstairs and could tell from the clothing and behavior of some audiences. Many of them are artists. It is estimated that they feel that the opportunity to enjoy the performances of world-class pop music superstars up close is too rare, and this does not count the cost. Made a special trip to the scene.

Deng Lijun's songs are indeed very popular in the mainland. Take this year's Spring Festival Gala for the first time inviting Xiangjiang artists to perform. Zhang Mingmin became popular with the song "My Chinese Heart", and Xi Xiulan's "Alishan Girl" was also popular, but the mainland singer Zhu Mingying's "Back to Mother's Home" was even more popular. After the tape was released, within half a year Sales reached 5 million copies.

In fact, this song "Back to Her Parents" is the song "Little Daughter-in-law's Return to Her Parents" sung by Deng Lijun in 1982. After Zhu Mingying heard it from a cassette sent by a friend, she was deeply attracted, but the mainland could not Listening to Deng Lijun's songs publicly will not pass the review of the Spring Festival Gala. So Zhu Mingying followed Deng Lijun's ancestral home in Hebei, using the method of "Hebei Folk Songs" and "Returning to Her Mother's Home".

This shows that Deng Lijun's songs are influential. Sometimes it is a subtle change. Many people in the mainland have come into contact with her music without knowing it. However, the popular artists of the same period on Treasure Island were often busy rushing to the shows to make money.

For this concert, Deng Lijun took great pains to arrange the repertoire. First of all, she sang several classic old songs from the old Shanghai era, such as "Song of Four Seasons" and "Singer of the End of the World", etc., which suddenly narrowed the distance with the audience and ushered in long-term enthusiastic applause.

In the next interactive session, Deng Lijun expressed his deep gratitude to people from all walks of life who supported this concert. And made a simple cooperation with Zhao Zhongxiang, responding to the request of the party. I sang a section of Huangmei Opera, which is currently popular in mainland China, which is a section of "The Goddess Scattering Flowers".

Then follow the craze for classical music in the 1980s on the mainland. Deng Lijun selected a few songs from his Chinese-style album "A Tale of Secret Love" of Tang Poetry and Song Ci. Perform deduction.

The last song at the end is "Walking the Road of Life" that will be sung at every stop of the world tour.

To be honest, Deng Lijun’s Shanghai city concert was very cautious in all aspects, and there was no breakthrough in style. Of course, this does not mean that the level has fallen. The applause of the audience tells everything.

...

After the concert, Tang Huan deliberately looked for time and asked Deng Lijun, "Your performances this year are not as intensive as your body? Especially after you finish the Shanghai city concert, the world tour with a billion applause can be counted as It's the accomplishment of the merit. Don't let the tight nerves suddenly loosen, and the fatigue will come up all of a sudden."

"Full of heart, there is a specialization in the surgical industry. I have dealt with this kind of work intensity alone, and I have at least more than ten years of senior resume." Teresa Teng's eyes are bright and full of fighting spirit. Now, how could I relax."

Deng Lijun's entry into the Japanese music scene, the highest goal is to participate in the red and white song battle, seeing that he will get what he wants in a few days, Tang Huan really can't stop it.

He nodded and clapped: "Okay, then you will leave for Tokyo tomorrow. Not only can you avoid the trouble that may be caused by staying too much, you can also adjust your status in Japan as soon as possible to recuperate and prepare for battle."

...

When Deng Lijun left Shanghai, the media naturally broke up, and the world became much cleaner.

Tang Huan, who was completely relieved, attended the ceremonies of some of the cooperation projects with Shanghai City, including the semiconductor factory that the other party had won from his hometown. Although its manufacturing process is a little behind, it is true for China. Belongs to sweet pastry.

However, these things are just a cutscene in the subject. Tang Huan's visit to China this time, the real highlight is the cooperation between Media Asia Satellite Company and the mainland aerospace industry.

The first is to witness the successful launch of the Media Asia 1; the second is the commissioned repair of the Media Asia 2 and the subsequent launch.

This damaged geostationary orbit communication satellite was originally the Western Union Star-6 of the United States, but it failed to enter orbit after being launched into the sky by the US space shuttle Challenger on February 3 this year; by November 12 this year. On the day, the US space shuttle Discovery took advantage of the opportunity to perform a mission and recovered it. Tang Huan bought it and renamed it Media Asia II.

The Media Asia II is also manufactured by Hughes Aircraft Corporation of the United States. The satellite body is cylindrical, 2.2 meters in diameter, 6.5 meters in height, and 1.25 tons in weight. It has 24 c-band transponders and has a designed operating life of 10 years.

Although this satellite is now damaged, its practical value remains undiminished after repairs. So Tang Huan aimed at it early, took the ownership, and took advantage of the honeymoon period in Sino-US relations and sent it to China for maintenance.

According to the launch plan, weather forecast and other conditions, the Media One is scheduled to launch at a certain time in the afternoon of December 28. Tang Huan took some shareholders or representatives of Media Asia Satellite Company directly to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to watch.

This is the second time that Tang Huan has come here. It is ready to open to the public next year, but it is less mysterious.

Although Tang Huan's expression remained unchanged~www.wuxiahere.com~ the high-standard receptionist was also calm and composed, but everyone was still very nervous.

Gein served as the Long March 3 carrier rocket for this launch. When it was launched for the first time on January 29 this year, the engine failed and failed to put the Dongfanghong 2 communication test satellite into its intended orbit. It ended in failure. .

In April of this year, the Long March 3 carrier rocket once again carried out the launch mission of the Dongfanghong 2 communication test satellite. Although it was successful, problems occurred during the fixed-point process. Finally, unconventional methods were used to solve the problem, which can be described as risky. .

Therefore, the risk of this launch is still great. On the better side, enough valuable experience has been accumulated; on the worst, it means that the rocket launch technology is not yet mature.

On the other hand, since Tang Huan visited the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center last time and paid homage to his parents, he started the satellite launch plan. China's preparations are still very sufficient.

After taking a look at his watch, Tang Huan looked at the launching stand far away under the clear sky, saying that no matter how prepared he is, sometimes it depends on luck. (To be continued.)
