Rebirth of the Tech Madman

"Thank you Tang Sheng for his affirmation of Shaw Brothers movies." Shao Yifu laughed, "I don't know, Tang Sheng would play an old-fashioned bargaining game in the business field in his early years-will he swallow gold in his sleeves?"

Tang Huan spread his hand, staring at the golden buttons on the sleeves of the snow-white shirt on his wrist, and asked with a smile, "But, how can I cooperate with Uncle Six?"

"It's easy to handle, just find a piece of cloth." Shao Yifu raised his hand and gestured to Cheng Songling, who was sitting next to her companion.

Tang Huan couldn't help being amused. He didn't expect that Shao Yifu was really old-fashioned, and he couldn't bear to drive his little girl far away, so he played this kind of deceitful trick.

Don't think Cheng Songling is in her early twenties, but she is absolutely clever, otherwise she will not be taken by the self-proclaimed "Wind ~ Flowing" Uncle Shao Liu. After finding Bu, she gently backed away a certain distance, and Shao Yifu had already agreed with Tang Huan about the specific additional conditions, and she was just about to finalize the final transaction amount.

The hands of the two placed on the coffee table were covered by cloth, and outsiders naturally had no way of knowing the actions below.

After about half a minute, Tang Huan asked with a smile, "Uncle Six, are you satisfied?"

Shao Yifu laughed and pulled out his hand. While moving his fingers, he tactfully replied: "It's really old, my joints are a bit stiff and inflexible."

"Look at the **** of Uncle Liu, it's not as spicy as usual." Tang Huan shook his head slightly, and stood up and said, "Then Uncle Liu should take a good rest. I can go out alone."

Shao Yifu, who paused on the walking stick, quickly told Cheng Songling, "Songsong, send Tang Sheng for me."

...

When Tang Huan walked to the door, he happened to meet Fang Yihua, whose residence was right next to him. The other party asked somewhat unexpectedly: "Tang Sheng left so soon? I rushed to hear the news, and I still want to talk to Tang Sheng."

Tang Huan smiled slightly, "I still have private affairs to deal with, so I won't bother too much. If Ms. Fang has something to discuss, you can come to my place as a guest."

Watching Tang Huan get in the car and leave, Fang Yihua asked casually, "What did Tang Sheng and Liu Shu just talk about?"

Although Cheng Songling's career in music and acting has developed well, and the recently released tvb TV series "Shushan Qi Xia: The Romance of the Immortal" was appointed by Shao Yifu as the first heroine, but she is not in front of Fang Yihua. Dare to take it big, lowered his eyebrows and replied pleasingly: "It seems to be a business deal. I sit far away and I don't understand.

Fang Yihua nodded slightly, raised her leg and walked into the villa. No matter how she changed the female companion beside Shao Yifu, she was the only wise helper she relied on. She naturally looked very open and didn’t care about Chen Songling’s existence, and even acted as it. Take care of your eyes and ears.

After seeing Shao Yifu, Fang Yihua knocked on the side and said, "It seems that you and Tang Huan are in a good mood."

"Of course." Shao Yifu smiled complacently. "I packaged and sold the old Shaw films to Tang's richest man, earning 320 million Hong Kong dollars."

"He's really generous." Fang Yihua took a breath at hearing. "I've heard about what digital restoration is going on in DreamWorks. It's been a long time since I've been searching for old movies so soon. Eat Shaw's film library."

"Tang Huanguang donated US$100 million to the disaster-stricken areas in East China in his own name. This amount of expenditure is equivalent to buying a toy and satisfying his hobbies." Shao Yifu seems to feel that it is selling cheap now, it seems a little bit. The meaning is still unfinished.

"That's also true. When 320 million Hong Kong dollars is converted into US dollars, it looks like an early 40 million." Fang Yihua, who also agrees, said in deep thought, "However, Tang Huan rarely misses his business. It must be beneficial to restore these old movies. It's plausible. Perhaps it is more appropriate for us to do it ourselves."

"You are too simple to think." Shao Yifu, who laughed out loud, pointed out carefully: "After Tang Huan bought Shaw's film library from me for 320 million Hong Kong dollars, he would spend more money on digital restoration. 160 million Hong Kong dollars. Don’t forget that this technology was pioneered by him. If it’s our turn, do you think the same 160 million Hong Kong dollars can be used for digital restoration?"

Fang Yihua took a breath again. "So, Tang Huanguang spent nearly 500 million Hong Kong dollars on the digital restoration of Shaw Brothers movies. Even if he has the strength to satisfy his hobbies, it would be too much. Be self-willed."

"For Tang’s richest man, these digital versions are more useful." Shao Yifu patiently explained: "Don’t forget that although he lost the competition for the first satellite TV license in Xiangjiang, Tang Huan’s goal Phoenix Satellite TV, a Chinese satellite TV that covers the world, is not affected and is already operating."

"It turns out that in addition to museum collections and VCD publication and distribution, Tang Huan also uses it as satellite TV program content." Fang Yihua suddenly realized.

"The trend of digital technology is becoming more and more obvious, and tvb must keep up with this trend." Shao Yifu said: "Up to now, tvb TV series, let alone filming a total of several thousand episodes. I have already discussed with Tang Huan. With additional conditions, he will provide preferential terms to assist tvb in digital restoration. At the same time, when Tang Huan is doing digital restoration of Shaw Brothers movies, he may add materials such as interviews with the original production members. These are trivial. There are a lot of things, you remember to cooperate well."

...

The reason why Tang Huan took the time to say goodbye from Shao Yifu is because the white lady Zhao Yazhi should be home-obviously, this title comes from the upcoming TV series "Legend of the New White Lady".

In fact, although the original "Legend of the New White Lady" in time and space was highly evaluated, it was mainly evaluated from the perspective of the mainland. Just like many Hong Kong artists, they may be famous in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but they ignore the mainland market and are ignored by mainland audiences. As a result, it seems that there has never been such a star in the circle.

Mainland audiences were deeply impressed by "Legend of the New White Lady", and it became a feeling. The reason was that the production level of Mainland entertainment programs at that time was really limited, and the show, like the CCTV version of "Journey to the West", did not involve any sensitive factors. It is suitable for repeated broadcasts over and over again to fill up the large number of schedules after the mainland TV stations broadcast programs 24 hours a day.

It is true that the production level of "Legend of New White Snake" has made ordinary audiences nod in praise, but as long as you pay attention, you will find that, on the whole, its quality has fallen sharply from front to back—that is, the audience in the Mainland did not demand it Gao was bombarded with feelings abruptly by fatigue.

The reason is that the production team was divided into chaos due to disagreements. The entire TV series, almost no more than 10 episodes, had to change to another screenwriter.

And the "new yellow plum tune" that gave the entire TV drama a musical artistic flavor, after the mid-term, it simply disappeared.

It can be said that the "Legend of the New White Lady" is the appearance of being supported by the golden facade of no more than 10 episodes.

After understanding these shortcomings, when Tang Huan tailor-made "The Legend of the White Lady" for Zhao Yazhi, he could achieve perfection in his ideal state.

The first point is that the lineup of "Legend of the New White Snake" has remained basically unchanged, which is too pediatric for DreamWorks, which has huge resources.

The second point is that the content of the story is completed in one go, and the length has been reduced from the original 50 episodes to 40 episodes. This is also the scale of the project that DreamWorks is best at scheduling resources.

The third point is that the well-known Huangmei tune is implemented throughout, and the entertainment public must also pursue classic artistry.

The fourth point is to strive for perfection in the shooting and framing. Such a profound historical background must not be ruined in a rush.

Fifth point, the special effects must have a level worthy of the TV series that has been popular for at least two decades. For the special effects company that is regarded as a separate industry by the richest man in Tang Dynasty, it is naturally also a natural service capability that it possesses.

...

And so on, this "Legend of the New White Lady" project, which took several years from careful preparations to completion of filming, has a high standard. Now we are waiting for its premiere in the entire Greater China region to test its popularity. .

According to the work plan, Zhao Yazhi has completed the promotion of Baodao, Singapore, Funan and other places, and returned to Xiangjiang for a temporary rest in order to cope with the local momentum.

Tang Huan, who had already checked with a mobile phone on the road, walked into the residence and asked, "Miss, are you ready?"

Zhao Yazhi, dressed in Bai Suzhen's costume, greeted him curledly and replied softly, "Official man, you are back."

Tang Huan snapped his fingers and whistled frivolously, "What a demon, let's see how I suppress you."

After speaking, the richest man picked up each other and walked towards the bedroom in a stride. He still muttered in his mouth, "Following Zhou Zhiruo, Su Rongrong, and Feng Chengcheng, I finally waited for the white lady."

Zhao Yazhi slammed the man a few fan punches, and said with a pointed voice, "Would you like to bring Xu Xian and Xiaoqing together for you?"

I have to say that even Guan Zhilin felt the challenge from Li Jiaxin. Women who belonged to the same era as Tang Huan, of course, had to consider how to be a solid pet-leaving behind the gap of youth and young age, this group was born in the early 1970s. The fairy tales, the degree of letting go, really makes them gritted their teeth.

Zhao Yazhi, who has long-term experience in game cooperation with Tang Huan, is even more familiar with the role playing this time. From time to time, he makes a look at the man in the mirror, which stimulates the other side to be beastly.

...

The well-produced "Legend of the New White Lady", the first round of premieres worldwide, will be launched at the same time in five places: Baodao, Xiangjiang, Haojiang, Singapore, and Funan-among them, on Baodao, because of the degree of liberalization in the TV field The restrictions that still need to be waited were introduced by Taiwan TV; in Xiangjiang, Phoenix TV did not compete for the first satellite TV license issued by the Hong Kong government, but as compensation, it still obtained the "non-local TV program service license", just for the sake of compensation. Attracting more viewers, it cooperated with Media Asia TV; the situation in Haojiang was similar, and the partner became a TV station controlled by King Ho Gaming; as for Singapore and Funan, these restrictions no longer exist, and Phoenix Satellite TV already has it there. A full set of network resources.

With the coordination and cooperation of such a huge strength, the "Legend of the New White Lady" has achieved a long-lost alley in the first three days of airing, even if the entertainment methods are increasingly diversified and the competition is fierce in Xiangjiang, no exception.

As far as the current TV station structure is concerned, TVB’s ratings of Media Asia TV plummeted to 2:8. Fang Yihua, who originally planned to discuss matters with Tang Huan alone, had to rush to the meeting and come up with countermeasures.

Even for those related consortia that intend to enter the satellite TV and cable TV fields, it is tantamount to getting a head-on, and they also have to meet urgently to discuss how "newcomers" like themselves face those who have gained first-mover advantage. "Senior" squeeze.

At the same time, the opening song "Waiting for a Thousand Years" and the ending song "Waiting for Love" of "The Legend of the New White Snake" quickly spread, and a wave of national style was blown. The original soundtrack released by DreamWorks was released on various records. The shop was sold out.

The entertainment pages of various newspapers ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are overwhelmingly discussing "Legend of the New White Lady". There is no lack of sighs—not to mention that there are not many acts of Zhao Yazhi, but almost every one is extraordinary. Such a star luck is so jealous.

Naturally, the salaries of the three leading actors soared, and they suddenly became the champions of the "Hong Kong and Taiwan TV Actors Salary Ranking". Even if they were not disturbed by Guan Meiren, they still could not escape the seven-year itch and lost the rich young grandmother. Xiaoqing, who lives in an easy life, is about to come in a flood of film appointments.

After "Legend of the New White Lady" was expected to become popular, it did not have to wait for the first round of screenings in the world to complete, and then began its radiation to North America, Australia and other Chinese gathering areas; as for the mainland of China, it also began to operate. Watching a frenzy of ratings sweeping from the trembling 80-year-old grandmother to the toddler two-year-old child is about to come as expected.

...

For the immediate benefits, there are many more in "Legend of New White Snake"-DreamWorks has already been evaluating whether to shoot a movie, and comics and video games have already been developed. Especially the latter, taking advantage of the hot TV show, appeared simultaneously.

This role-playing game did not use all the materials of "Legend of New White Snake" at once. According to the plan, it will be a trilogy.

Tang Huan attaches great importance to this. Guyin’s Chinese culture has a profound mythology, but it has not been able to form a powerful cultural product. The richest man has gathered people to organize materials in this field for almost ten years. The goal is Create an epic system that uses "Feng Shen Yan Yi" and "Shan Hai Jing" as the skeleton, surpassing the original epic system of "World of Warcraft" where the original time and space hits the face and eats back the settings. "The Legend of the New White Lady" is just It's just the beginning of this grand plan.
