Shortly after the conference, many partners came one after another, and thousands of consumers called.
Computer manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard and IBM never thought that the Mango 32 computer would be so popular. They dared not try 32-bit computers easily, but now they have no time to regret it.
A 32-bit personal computer means faster, more functional, and more user-friendly.
Mango Computer became the first person to eat crabs. Not only was he able to make a lot of money, but it also opened up brand awareness. Now, anyone who is concerned about computers knows that only Mango Computer has a 32-bit computer in the world.
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot!
The Mango 32 personal computer was officially released in the first week after the press conference. The product was very popular, and there were even long queues at the entrance of many stores.
…
"Yuqin, take this week's sales data from Mango Computer Company." Li Zetian raised his head and said to Dongfang Yuqin, who was sitting on the desk next to him.
"OK."
Li Zetian took the document Dongfang Yuqin handed him and looked at it at will.
Since the official launch of Mango 32, Mango Computer's performance has soared. In this week, Mango 32 PCs sold 385,000 units, and 16-bit Mango computers sold 155,000 units.
This week's sales can crush the sales of many computer companies for a month or two.
Li Zetian still remembers that at the beginning of the business, the sales of Apple-I personal computers in a year did not reach 10,000. 12 years have passed, what a change, especially the popularity of personal computers in the United States is very high!
It has to be said that Li Zetian contributed greatly to this.
"Next, we should vigorously develop the network and increase broadband! The broadband is too small to do anything! Looking at the development of history, hardware has always promoted the development of software! Without hardware support, pictures and online videos cannot be supported! And the Internet is a A world of words, pictures and videos!" Li Zetian said to himself.
If it wasn't for Sprint's merger with GTE, it would take a while to get in, and Li Zetian would definitely continue to acquire a local telephone company.
At present, there are more than 6 billion US dollars in the account of the umbrella company, and the funds are very sufficient. If it is not enough, it can still borrow from the bank.
…
Summer is hot, July 10th.
Li Zetian was invited to attend the premiere conference of "Alien 2" filmed by James Cameron.
Li Zetian is a fan of the "Alien" series, and would like to know what is the difference between the "Alien 2" that invested 60 million US dollars and supported by Industrial Light and Magic and the previous life. The original "Alien 2" movie cost only $18.5 million to make.
So Li Zetian attended the premiere conference of the film, but also to cheer for 20th Century Fox Film Company, and to show goodwill to James Cameron by the way.
Sure enough, when Li Zetian came to the film conference, the audience was shocked and shocked! There is no doubt that "Alien 2" and Li Zetian will be linked together the next day, making headlines in the newspapers, and the box office will definitely rise in the future.
"Director James Cameron, hello, your "Terminator" is very good, I hope this "Alien 2" can be even better!"
"Thank you Mr. Li for your compliment!" James Cameron said with a smile, with a hint of shock and pride on his face, thinking that even the richest man in the world would come to join him, which is too much of a face.
Under the stage, countless cameras were aimed at Li Zetian, and the flash was flashing without interruption. It was rare for Li Zetian to be able to attend the film conference. This is quite big news!
The reporters were so excited!
"Mr. Li, long time no see!"
A voice with a hint of charm came.
Li Zetian turned his head to look and said indifferently, "Oh, so it's Miss Nikita Ritchie!"
Nikita was overjoyed and thought, sure enough, Chronos Li acquired 20th Century Fox and will definitely stand up to support its development. Since "Alien 2" has attracted his attention, he will naturally come to this conference.
Li Zetian deliberately kept a distance from Nikita.
He just made a mistake not long ago, and right now, he can't make a second mistake. Otherwise, he cannot forgive himself.
Not long after, the viewing began, and everyone entered the cinema.
Because of the sufficient funds "Alien 2" and the support of Industrial Light and Magic, the visual sense of the blockbuster is coming, and Li Zetian has not enjoyed such a super cool audio-visual feeling for a long time. Although many places have flaws because of the original technology, it is already very good.
Li Zetian was so shocked, let alone other audiences.
As soon as the alien came out, the people who were frightened suddenly screamed, and then they were always worried about those humans.
"James Cameron really has the ability to make blockbuster movies. The more money you give him, the better the movies you make! The foreign media in previous lives always said that "Alien 2" was the greatest sequel movie, and it was true. However, this life The "Alien 2" can completely beat the previous life's "Alien 2", the plot is ups and downs, the scene is shocking, it's really explosive, it's perfect!" Li Zetian said to himself.
Li Zetian likes to watch movies, especially science fiction movies.
But nowadays, there are very few excellent sci-fi movies, which makes Li Zetian very regretful.
After the movie was over, people finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect the alien to actually get on the spaceship, it scared me to death, I thought the human race was going to end!"
"The heroine is so good, driving the cargo machine to fight against the aliens, and she actually won the battle! It's really awesome! And at the critical moment, open the hatch, throw the aliens into outer space, and completely solve the crisis!"
"Yeah, all the aliens should be dead by now! That planet was bombed by nuclear bombs, and the aliens of the spaceship were also killed!"
"Hehe, that's not necessarily true. According to the urination of the film company, the "Alien" series will definitely have a sequel... Remember that little girl? When the movie was about to end, she was suddenly taken away, maybe the Alien was already in her body. Insect eggs are planted inside!!"
"Fuck, there is such a possibility!!!"
"So, the aliens are coming to Earth? Oh, my God, the aliens are so powerful and their reproductive ability is so strong, for the earth, it is undoubtedly an unprecedented disaster!"
"… "
After people walked out of the movie, they started talking and applauding the movie, and at the same time, they were looking forward to the next sequel.
Li Zetian and James Cameron walked together and couldn't help saying: "Congratulations, Director Cameron, this movie is very well done, and it will definitely be a great success! Look at these audiences, all of them like it very much. I wonder if you are interested in making the next one?"
The copyright of "Alien" belongs to 20th Century Fox Film Company, and Li Zetian wants to make "Alien" a super IP.
James Cameron shook his head, "I'm sorry, Mr. li, "Alien 2" is already the best work I've shot. If I continue to shoot the next step, it may not be able to surpass it."
Li Zetian nodded, no longer asking, it is also very good to change to a director of a different style to make movies with different highlights.
At about 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Zetian returned home. In the living room, Dongfang Yuqin and Yu Jingqiu were watching TV, while Lean and William went to bed.
"Is the movie good?" Yu Jingqiu asked after taking a sip of juice.
Li Zetian sat between the two women, hugged from left to right, nodded with a smile, and said, "It's very beautiful!!! ILM's film special effects technology exceeded my expectations. It seems that my investment has not been in vain! , James Cameron's directing level is absolutely world-class, telling the whole story wonderfully, ups and downs, touching people's hearts, people can't help screaming many times in the cinema!"
Li Zetian has invested a lot of money in Industrial Light and Magic, especially the development of computer special effects technology. If Disney's films need special effects, they always turn to Industrial Light and Magic. In addition, other film companies also mostly turn to ILM to do special effects for them.
In the hands of Li Zetian, Industrial Light and Magic developed much faster than in the hands of Lucas, and the current level of computer special effects can catch up with the early 1990s in the previous life.
Dongfang Yuqin and Yu Jingqiu were both slightly surprised, and made an appointment to watch the movie tomorrow.
Although there is a private cinema at home, but to watch a movie go to the cinema to see the atmosphere.
"I'll go with you!" Li Zetian added, "Go quietly..."
Since Li Zetian had a relationship with Dongfang Yuqin and almost lost Yu Jingqiu, Li Zetian suddenly realized that the importance of relatives cannot let them leave him again. After work, they have to accompany them. Work and entertainment are also part of life.
The next day, major media in the United States reported yesterday's "Alien 2" premiere conference, Li Zetian's attendance, attracted attention! In addition, the film has also been praised by many film critics!
In order not to be recognized, Li Zetian, Dongfang Yuqin, and Yu Jingqiu all put on sunglasses and peaked caps and went to the cinema together to watch "Alien 2".
"Alien 2" has a good reputation, a ticket is hard to come by, and the cinema is full.
Although Li Zetian watched it for the second time, he still found it very exciting.
"Because of the existence of Industrial Light and Magic, the level of computer effects in Hollywood is very good. Will Hong Kong movies be hanged?"
Li Zetian sighed slightly, thought for a while, and secretly decided to let Industrial Light and Magic establish a branch in Hong Kong to promote the development of Hong Kong movies.
…
A month later, "Alien 2" landed in Hong Kong, and there was an "Alien" style immediately, and the very real and terrifying Alien could not help but scare people's hairs up. The Hong Kong movie released in the same period was madly crushed by this "Alien 2".
Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and other film companies have lamented how Hollywood movies are so powerful!
"The investment in this movie is really big, 60 million US dollars, if you change it into Hong Kong dollars, it will be 200 to 300 million yuan!!"
"Does the United States like to shoot blockbuster movies? The investment is so big. For our Hong Kong movies, it is good to invest a few million dollars, and the investment of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is very small!"
"Special effects are the most expensive. It is said that one-third of the production cost of this movie is to ask Industrial Light and Magic to do special effects!"
"Bruce Lee has now left the Golden Harvest Company and went to the United States to make movies! Maybe he will be the next leading actor for Disney and 20th Century Fox Films. After all, he and Chronos Li know each other and have a good relationship. "
"Going to the US is not easy. So far, Bruce Lee has been eating abroad! But, to be honest, making movies in Hollywood is really profitable. I heard that Li Zetian's salary is millions of dollars, but I don't know the details. ."
"It's not the same thing. Even if it is a popular actor in Hong Kong, who can get a salary of 1 million Hong Kong dollars, I am afraid there are not many people!"
"… "
Countless people are envious and jealous.
Within two days, the news of Industrial Light & Magic's establishment of a branch in Hong Kong spread like wildfire.
The bosses of film companies such as Run Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but be surprised.
"How could Industrial Light & Magic set up a branch in Hong Kong?" Run Run Shaw frowned, puzzled. Because he knows that Hong Kong movies rarely use computer special effects, and several movies may be made in a month, and the cost of each movie is unbelievably low. Clearly, Industrial Light & Magic's Hong Kong branch was a loss-making business.
Maybe so...
However, Li Zetian still believes that since Industrial Light and Magic has established a branch in Hong Kong, there will always be some film companies that use Industrial Light and Magic. When their films sell well and taste the sweetness, they will continue to cooperate with Industrial Light and Magic. In addition, Hong Kong's martial arts action is very brilliant. Li Zetian thinks that Industrial Light and Magic can combine action special effects with computer special effects here, so as to strengthen Industrial Light and Magic!
