    For Shen Chong, who is not short of money, there really is no difference whether the skyscraper is built in Shenzhen or Guangzhou. One is a special economic zone that attracts national attention, and the other is a famous southern city with a long history. Their influence is almost the same. The only difference  , whether the cost is recovered two years earlier or two years later, but for the mainland film industry, the effect of the screening reform pilot in Guangzhou will be heaven and earth - Guangzhou City has a population of more than 5 million, and Shenzhen City will bring all farmers to  In addition, there were only 300,000 people. In 19RU, few farmers were willing to spend money to go to the movies. They only launched a pilot project in Shenzhen. After one year, the box office reached more than 100,000, and a separate account was set up for the film production.  It's not enough for the studio to stuff it between its teeth.  It doesn¡¯t matter where you build it, why not take advantage of it?  Therefore, Shen Chong decided to use the strategy of "driving the tiger to devour the wolf" in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and using the skyscraper pie to push the local officials of Guangzhou to take the initiative to join the pilot film screening reform. You must know that at this time, in Guangzhou city, in addition to  Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary Yang of the Municipal Party Committee are also super bosses, and his secretary Sun Tiezhong also attended the practice banquet that night.  Of course, with Secretary Yang's resume, capital and vision, it doesn't matter whether the skyscraper is built in Guangzhou or not. It's the icing on the cake if it's built in Guangzhou. It's not harmful if it's not in Guangzhou, but for the officials below, the meaning is completely different.  , the tallest building in China and even Asia, represents dazzling political achievements and massive interests, which must be fought for with all efforts. As the secretary of the Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee, he has to consider the opinions of his subordinates, and a boss of this level has to ask the Film Bureau  If you want a policy, it is almost a sure thing.  Of course, when you use people as guns, you can't do it too obviously, otherwise the effect will be ineffective and it will be easy to offend people. Therefore, Shen Chong didn't mention a word about the pilot reform of film distribution and screening at the dinner.  I just kept complaining. While saying that Guangzhou has good supporting facilities, a large working population, a mature market, it can be built quickly, and it is easy to recover the cost, I also said that Shenzhen is a special zone with policy advantages, rapid development, and is close to Hong Kong.  It is convenient to travel, but in short, I am in a dilemma and can't make up my mind The next day is Children's Day. Early in the morning, Shen Chong and Li Kaiyuan went to the Guangzhou Children's Palace, where they signed a contract with the China-Hong Kong joint venture Kaiyuan Toy Factory.  In the name of Guangzhou Municipal Education Bureau, 1 million sets of Rubik's Cubes were donated to the Guangzhou Municipal Education Bureau for free distribution to primary and secondary school students in the city. As expected, not only were there more officials attending the donation ceremony than scheduled, but their ranks were also much higher.  After the donation ceremony, Shen Chong declined the kind invitations from all the gods to stay, got into the car, and left.  "Ah Chong." Li Kaiyuan turned around, looked at the crowd at the entrance of the Children's Palace through the rear window, and asked, "If you don't mention a word about the movie, will they understand?" "Officials are all human beings.  Shen Chong raised three fingers and said: "I have a film company, and I am good friends with mainland filmmakers. I am a rich man who likes to spend a lot of money on movies. Such an obvious reminder. If they still can't understand the point, they might as well go home."  "Grow sweet potatoes." "There are so many ways." Li Kaiyuan curled his lips and said, "But don't be too happy, it may not be possible yet." "Just do your best, obey fate, and work hard, and even if there is no small conspiracy.  If it can be realized, my trip to Guangzhou will also be fruitful." Shen Chong said with a satisfied smile: "I planted flowers without intention, but planted willows to create shade, and I accomplished a great thing inadvertently." "What?  Big thing?" "Remember? The company in Guangzhou I invested in the day before yesterday was the Pacific Audio and Video Company." Shen Chong said with a smile, "It just hit me in the head." "Oh, that one.  Ah, it's just a tape factory." Li Kaiyuan was puzzled and said: "There are many small factories like this in Hong Kong. There are only eight of them. Are they that important?" "It's different." Shen Chong grabbed her.  Holding his hand, he said with some emotion: "My biggest wish is to integrate the cultural and entertainment resources of the three places across the Taiwan Strait. Music is part of it. In Hong Kong, I have PolyGram, and in Taiwan, I have Rolling Stones and UFOs. Only  There was nothing in the mainland. This Pacific Audio and Video Company just filled the gap and gave me a springboard to enter the mainland. It completed the whole puzzle, so I said that I have completed a big thing. " "Congratulations to you," Li Kaiyuan replied.  Holding his hand, he said with a smile: "I haven't seen you so happy for a long time." Since time travel, Shen Chong has been focusing on movies and not paying much attention to pop music. His music companies all  Since Hong Kong and Taiwan are in a state of free rein, mainland music companies naturally don't pay much attention to it, but just because they don't care doesn't mean they will let it slip away when the opportunity comes - during his stay in Guangzhou, he overheard someone say,  Pacific Audio and Video Company, a subsidiary of the Guangzhou Municipal Radio and Television Bureau, is about to be finished.  This news greatly surprised him. Pacific Audio and Video Company is a name that must be mentioned in the history of pop music in mainland China. It is the first factory in the mainland to produce cassette tapes. It is known as the spark that ignited the pop music market in the mainland. Zhu Fengbo, Li Guyi,  The first music tapes of Jiang Dawei, Yu Junjian and others were all released by it, and according to the memory of past lives, the sales volume of the tapes released by this company was almostMore than RMB 10,000, with annual profits of tens of millions, which is more profitable than many large state-owned enterprises. How could it be ruined?  After asking about it carefully, Shen Chong couldn't help but sigh, it's better to come early than to come by chance. At this time, Pacific Audio and Video Company was in a state of sluggishness and was about to be finished in one breath.  In 1978, a Hong Kong company called Bailey Records approached the Guangzhou Municipal Radio and Television Bureau to cooperate with the Guangzhou Municipal Radio and Television Bureau. In January 1979, Pacific Audio and Video Company was established in the form of compensatory trade. Bailey Records loaned 4 million Hong Kong dollars to introduce a sound channel.  ¡¯s stereo cassette tape production line, Pacific was responsible for recording records and producing tapes, and used product proceeds to repay Bailey¡¯s loan and interest.  Bailey Records felt that the living standard in the Mainland was too low, with the per capita monthly income being only about 40 yuan. A tape that cost six or seven yuan a box would definitely not be sold, so it brought all the tapes to Hong Kong and prepared to sell them overseas. The results were disastrous.  As we know, no one cares about the mainland songs produced by Pacific. In 1979, 900,000 cassette tapes were produced, and only one-tenth of them were sold. Both parties suffered huge losses, which was terrible. In order not to undermine the reform that was in full swing.  To open up the overall situation, the Guangzhou Municipal Radio and Television Bureau loaned 100,000 public funds to Pacific Audio and Video Company, hanging on its life and barely maintaining operation.  If Shen Chong had not appeared, Pacific Audio and Video Company, when it was at the end of its rope, would have sent all its employees out, each with a tape recorder, to promote sales across the country. In 19RU, all mainland China would be selling mono vinyl records and stereo records.  The cassette, small, fashionable and good-sounding, immediately caused a sensation, and the inventory was quickly sold out, making a lot of money.  But Shen Chong was lucky. He happened to come to Guangzhou at this time, and happened to hear about this "failure of foreign cooperation." As an outstanding patriotic businessman, how could he sit back and watch the failure of cooperation and discredit the reform and opening up?  ?  Naturally, I have to act righteously and help others What's more, Pacific Video Company has the word "shadow" in its name, and it has the qualifications to produce video tapes.
