Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Just as Cheng Long had guessed, this kind of thing is nothing in Tang Huan's eyes. He readily agreed: "No problem, I will let the subordinates in Hollywood help you coordinate. Novel."

Jackie Chan, who received a satisfactory answer, lifted the cup happily, "Thank you Tang Sheng, I respect you!"

Tang Huan picked up the cup and took a sip, and then told Wang Zuxian next to him: "Xiaoxian, help me pay a tribute."

"People don't know how to drink." Wang Zuxian pouted and said quietly, but she still held the glass in both hands.

"Miss Wang is going to be a big hit. It's hard to avoid the scene when the time comes. Now I'm learning to drink two sips, which is considered preparation." Cheng Long raised his glass and said, "I'm doing it, you are free."

When Wang Zuxian put down the cup, his face was stained with rouge, which was abnormally bright, and Cheng Long quickly looked away.

Tang Huan laughed, grabbing Wang Zuxian's slender waist, and said in a deep voice, "Aaron, I can understand your persistence in the crew of "Very Long Detective". Jiahe and Warner want to successfully copy Bruce Lee's movie through your first battle. A business miracle is not only eager for quick success, but also lacks the care and patience to cultivate one's own people."

The reason why the psychological gap between Golden Harvest and Warner is so large is that Bruce Lee’s fourth kung fu movie "enterthedragon"-"Dragon Fighting Tiger", has achieved impressive commercial success in Hollywood. It was released in the United States in the summer of 1973. Later, it occupied the top position of the box office for four consecutive weeks, and finally won the box office of 22 million US dollars.

This level is not a top-notch. But there is one thing, the shooting budget of "Dragon Fighting Tiger" is very tight. Only 850,000 US dollars. In this way, the ratio of return on investment will inevitably make people enthusiastic.

However, "Dragon Fighting Tiger Fighting" also encountered a situation where the two sides couldn't take care of it. The box office of Hong Kong was 3.3 million Hong Kong dollars, which was significantly lower than Bruce Lee's previous starring "Jing Wu Men" and "The Raptors Crossing the River".

You know, "Dragon Fighting Tiger Fighting" was first released in Hong Kong on July 26, 1973, the sixth day after Bruce Lee's death. Until September 24, 1973, the jurors unanimously ruled that the cause of Bruce Lee's death was "highly sensitive to painkillers and rapid brain edema". Social attention should naturally belong to this Kung Fu superstar; and the film that won the 1973 box office title-Shaw Brothers' "72 Tenants", premiered on September 22, competing between the two. The intensity should be small.

In addition, the commercial success of "Dragon Fighting Tiger Fighting" in Hollywood also requires a sensible comparison in the same direction. It is too mythological to describe it as having no rivals in the world, and it is inevitable that you will lose your eyes.

In 1973, "thesting"-"Cheat" and "theexorcist"-"The Exorcist", which had a box office of more than 100 million US dollars in the United States, was released during the Christmas period at the end of the year, which is not comparable; but the same summer, George · Lucas's first fresh film "Americangraffiti"-"American Style Painting", reached the box office of 96 million U.S. dollars. The shooting budget is lower than that of "Dragon Fighting Tiger", at about $770,000. Even if the factors affecting the local halo bonus are excluded, the investment return ratio is obviously more exaggerated. This has also become the largest capital that George Lucas has invested in preparing for the filming of "Star Wars."

All in all, it is not an overnight effort to create an oriental superstar with American audience and Hollywood recognition.

Relying on the Lunqi card, Tang Huan pushed the Kung Fu movie starring Li Lianjie to the United States, but the box office was only 20 to 30 million U.S. dollars;

The attraction of "Hu Hua Qing Qing" first comes from the sign of the richest man in the United States as the male lead, and the scandal with the female lead, and then the audience calmly appreciates;

The success of "Phantom of the Tomb: Wrath of the Dragon Emperor". It is based on the incomparable curiosity of Americans about China brought about by the honeymoon period of Sino-US relations, as well as the unique elements of Eastern exploration created by the profound cultural heritage, low-cost epic spectacular scenes, and just right computer special effects.

And so far, these movies have not been able to win out a big star with enough appeal in the United States.

In contrast, the seemingly magnificent plan to enter Hollywood advocated by the ambitious Zou Wenhuai is inevitably eager for quick success and short of comprehensive consideration.

Hearing Tang Huan's words so understood, he was aggrieved outside, but Cheng Long, who wanted to save face in front of his friends and brothers, was almost moved to tears.

Born in the United States, Bruce Lee, before returning to Xiangjiang to develop and cooperate with Jiahe, he studied and worked hard in the United States for more than ten years; and he was parachuted to the United States to shoot films. In order to adapt to the Hollywood environment, what was the sadness of outsiders. Can know. But the bosses don't care about this, and simply attribute the first movie "Killer Trench" to a failure, so that the right to speak in subsequent filming plans is getting smaller and smaller.

Cheng Long picked up the wine glass, raised his neck with a grunt, then opened his mouth with red eyes, "To be honest, I am very envious of Li Lianjie having a boss like Tang Sheng."

After eating a piece of watermelon that Wang Zuxian fed, Tang Huan smiled and said: "He has his advantage, you have your style, and no one can replace anyone. You don't have to look at the mountain from this mountain to the high mountain. It's the accumulation of your team. How's it going? Instead of being at the mercy of Hollywood, it’s better to form your own signature style on the Xiangjiang side."

"I actually have a group of like-minded brothers." Cheng Long nodded, "After finishing "The Dragon and the Detective", I plan to open another drama about the police, and put it in "The Dragon and the Detective". Ideas that cannot be realized are photographed."

Tang Huan nodded slightly, he roughly guessed which movie Cheng Long was talking about was in the original time and space.

A trace of distress flashed across Cheng Long's face, and continued: "However, Jiahe saw that our junior brothers performed well, so now we are a little conservative in attitude. Fortunately, my godfather agreed to fight for it. I believe it's only time sooner or later. The problem."

Compared with Golden Harvest in the 1970s, when he started his own business, Zou Wenhuai personally came forward to win Bruce Lee. Now, for the full-fledged Jiahe, He Guanchang is in charge of wooing Cheng Long.

Tang Huan didn't answer the other party's words. Then he asked: "I heard that you have established a Weihe Film Production Co., Ltd., how is the business, is it booming?"

"It's just a shelf, it hasn't opened yet." Cheng Long scratched his head embarrassedly, and subconsciously hit the snake with a stick and said: "If Tang Sheng has a business, please introduce it."

"Okay. Then Weihe will help me make a movie. The release is arranged by DreamWorks." Tang Huan nodded and said.

After Cheng Long was taken aback, he was overjoyed, and he just asked, but he didn't expect that there would be a real deal.

He quietly glanced at Wang Zuxian, who was blushing on Tang Huan's shoulders, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what kind of movie it is? Is the protagonist set?"

"You go to DreamWorks to ask about the details. By the way, you can get the funds all at once, so that you can make money." Tang Huan waved his hand, "By the way, this movie is mainly for Liu Jialing to enter the big screen to try the water. I have exercised my acting skills well, plus I have practiced gymnastics, and I have a good foundation in action scenes. Then you can make good use of it. Pay attention to the content and don’t talk about useless things. This movie will be directly taken to the mainland according to the plan. In theaters."

"It turned out not to hold the beautiful girl with long legs in front of me. That's the business." After this thought flashed in his mind, Cheng Long nodded quickly and assured him, "Tang Sheng trusts me so much, Weihe will definitely make this movie well."

The smile on his face was very sincere, and Gein had this business. That is equivalent to having the start-up capital, and the new movie planned to bet on the tone of "Dragon Detective" does not have to be completely controlled by Golden Harvest.

The big people are paying attention to what they do, and they bypassed some industry scruples and helped themselves.

"That's it, I have to leave beforehand." Tang Huan put his arms around Wang Zuxian's shoulders, stood up, "Stormwind City is very fun, you usually work so hard in filming, now you can relax and call friends. It doesn't matter if you come here, the expenses will be automatically charged to my account."

"Thank you Tang Sheng for his hospitality. You can go to business first." Cheng Long hurriedly gave it off with a smile. He didn't dare to disturb Tang Huan's "doing business" at this time.

After he was left in the box, Cheng Long thought for a while, and then picked up the phone-it’s still early, it’s better to ask the brothers to come to this unique place to have a happy time together, to show how broad their avenues are. , It happens to also discuss the matter of filming.

...

If it is a joyous event that the development of Funan is under control, then Tang Huan has already used his "big legs" to reward himself and celebrated; and when he returned to the United States from Xiangjiang to participate in the ceremony of Reagan's re-election as president , There is another happy event worth celebrating in front of us.

That is, the market value of Fangyuan Computer Company has surpassed ibm, and has reached the level of 70 billion US dollars.

In other words, Fangyuan Computer Company has become the computer company with the highest market value.

Or to be more precise, the market value of Fangyuan Computer Co., Ltd. now ranks first in the world.

Although from the public opinion point of view, the arrival of this day is inevitable, but when it did happen, it still stirred up waves with a single stone, and immediately became a very important landmark in the economic field, and the Reagan in the political field. Being re-elected as president, keeping pace with each other, has been heatedly discussed by the world media.

Let's take a look, Fangyuan Computer Company, an upstart who was founded less than seven years ago, what exists at his feet?

ibm, Exxon Petroleum, General Electric, Shell Petroleum, Royal Dutch Petroleum, Kodak, General Motors...

Which one is not the traditional hegemon with a long history and world-famous reputation!

If AT&T is not split up, some variables may be added, but since the splitting of seven Bells, it has lost its chance of being among the top ten in the world.

The enthusiasm of the media is like an erupting volcano, so that Tang Huan, who created this wealth myth, was repeatedly asked by reporters when he appeared in public, "Tang, now it seems that you sold billions of dollars prematurely. Fangyuan Computer’s stock is equivalent to losing hundreds of millions of fortunes out of thin air. At that time, were you really short of funds? Do you regret this decision now?"

"How can I regret that I am still the largest shareholder of Fangyuan Computer Company. Besides, my decision has enhanced the liquidity of Fangyuan Computer's stock in the public domain. You can't deny that after Fangyuan Computer's stock price reaches $100. , The upward momentum is still unabated, and it has benefited more or less from it."

Tang Huan's attitude was very indifferent, as if he didn't bother to pay attention. The fact is also true. Although he had carried out large-scale cash-out transactions before, he still held almost 30% of the shares of the Fangyuan Computer Company, but he only had less than two-thirds of his shares.

But from the media's point of view, this gesture is clearly regrettable. It is nothing more than being arrogant and refusing to admit his financial management mistakes because of his face.

After that, Tang Huan waved his hand directly and refused to respond to such a question, which seemed to further confirm the speculation of this mentality.

That's all right, the original serious economic topic has a little more entertainment. Tang Shi is too empathetic. Every time he becomes the focus of the media, he does not make the audience feel rigid.

Tang Huan was really not interested in defending anything, even if he had a bright attitude. It’s just a number game, so excited? What's more, if you talk too much on this topic, it may involve the detailed use of the billions of dollars, and it will be even more unclean at that time.

If it is not for after-sales service that requires sellers to provide confidential information in advance, a media with suspicion such as The New York Times will probably use the intelligence and brain-filled guesses to get the truth of the matter to the public instead of like In this way, only half of the words were said, and the posture of abrupt cessation seemed very funny.

Even so cautiously, Tang Huan also believes that the intelligence agencies of certain state agencies should have enough information to infer where the hands behind the reversal of the situation in Funan came from.

It’s just because of inability to be able to do so, or it’s nothing to do with him, and to hang up high; in addition, Tang Huan is a celebrity in the world and has enough resources to ensure his safety. At the same time, many vested interests have played the role of an umbrella. It looks calm and peaceful.

But having said that, Tang Huan himself didn't give those who wanted to take advantage of it.

His biggest security loophole should be the illness of widowed people, but his women are all clear and simple, and the nameless beauties can't get close at all, and they directly make the beauty scheme useless.

It can be said that as long as one is not mentally retarded and does not commit death, there is no need to worry too much about such disturbances, and it is not that there is no preparation for the future.

Therefore, Tang Huan, who attended the ceremony for Reagan's re-election as president, quickly put his energy back on the IT industry that brought him huge wealth.

The value of Fangyuan Computer Company surpassed the veteran overlord ibm in the eyes of Wall Street because it was won by real materials.

Fangyuan personal computer office automation, Fangyuan graphics workstation, Fangyuan database server... and other mature application solutions, all have bright prospects and prosperity, not comparable to the old giant blue.

Recently, the world-renowned supercomputer performance battle ~www.wuxiahere.com~ has been brought to a new height by the newly launched Fangyuan supercomputer-Taiji-ii.

In 1984, the Soviet Union suddenly and unexpectedly launched the world's most powerful supercomputer, the m-13, with a computing performance of 2.4gflops; this year, the Taiji-ii launched by Fangyuan Computer Co., Ltd. reached 5.2gflops.

It not only defeated its counterparts in the Soviet Union, but also made the planned 3.9gflops computing performance of its American counterparts-the old supercomputer company Cray's cray-2/8, lost the meaning of competition.

In fact, the launch of Tai Chi-ii was a little skipped in time. But it is also worthwhile, and the actual performance makes users very satisfied.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California immediately ordered one, and CERN also ordered one. The latter also ordered a batch of Fangyuan servers, Fangyuan workstations, Fangyuan personal computers, and various related software and technologies. Services, the total amount is more than 36 million US dollars.

With so much good news, how can Wall Street not be favored by Fangyuan Computer Company? (To be continued.)
