Start from 1980

Chapter 682 Call Machine

Su Chen took it.

It is the acceptance report on the project of Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City.

After so many years of construction, the film and television city has now been completely completed, and Phoenix TV and Shengshi Media can be moved there.

The film and television city can be built in such a short period of time, partly thanks to Shaw Brothers.

When Shaw Brothers decided to suspend production, many employees of Shaw Brothers also signed contracts to join TVB.

But Shaw Brothers is too big, TVB TV station can't afford the whole Shaw Brothers, just the film shooting equipment of Shaw Brothers is enough, a large part of it is auctioned off by TVB, which is much cheaper for small and medium-sized film companies .

But the most important thing is the old employees of Shaw Brothers. Even if some of them are absorbed by TVB, there are still hundreds of thousands of people who have no jobs.

After the skilled film practitioners were recruited by TVB and many film companies, there were only a bunch of extras and handymen who made a living at the Clear Water Bay studio.

When Shengshi decided to build a film and television city, these people flocked to solve the problem of insufficient labor resources for the film and television city, and indirectly solved a little trouble for Shaw Brothers.

Of course, in addition to these, there is a special group, that is, well-known Shaw Brothers directors and actors, such as Zhang Che, Chu Yuan and other martial arts celebrities.

At this time, traditional martial arts films have long been outdated. It is impossible for Zhang Che and others to enter TVB because there is no suitable position for them, but no other company will make martial arts films. Playable dilemma.

Otherwise Dillon would not have been fired by Shaw Brothers.

The land of the film and television city is very large, not only the staff living area, but also magnificent antique buildings, some special studios, and barren hills and woods specially reserved for TV dramas and movies as filming locations.

In the future, regardless of whether Prosperity is making a TV series or a movie, except for some plots that need to be filmed on the street, everything else can be done in the film and television city.

Costume dramas can be filmed in those antique buildings, corporate dramas can be filmed in administrative buildings, and family dramas can be filmed in the living apartment buildings of the staff.

And now Shengshi can be regarded as a strong soldier, let alone the artist, just the director.

There are Danny Lee who is good at gangster films, Macdonald Bear who is good at realistic themes, Tsui Hark who is good at fantasy genres, Wu Yusen who is good at Jianghu hero films, Wang Jing and Zeng Zhiwei who are good at comedies...

These directors alone can present many movies every year.

However, the competition in Shengshi is also very cruel. Shirley brought a set of management methods like Hollywood.

Although the income of those well-known actors in the company is indeed higher than that of their peers in other companies, the third-line actors and newcomers are in a very miserable situation, and they can only eat and wear.

Many people who wanted to work abroad were directly fired by Shengshi.

Even so, the dream of being famous and earning a lot of money still attracts countless people to jump into the flames. Everyone fantasizes that they can soar into the sky in the entertainment industry and gain both fame and fortune.

"It's done well." Su Chen closed the document and looked at Shirley, "If there is no problem with the acceptance, let's start moving there, TV stations, brokerage companies, record companies, etc."

"Good boss."

……

At noon, the news of the move came from Shengshi Media: After the unanimous decision of the top management, it is planned to move to Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City.

In addition to the record company and film company under Shengshi Media, Phoenix TV also moved to Tseung Kwan O.

This news did not cause any waves, and many people felt that it was no surprise.

But for several giants in the entertainment industry, a thought popped into their heads:
What is Shengshi going to do?
Is it really to build an entertainment kingdom?
Prosperous World started to build a film and television city in Tseung Kwan O a few years ago. At the beginning, many people were not optimistic about this project, including Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers. As a result, the film and television city was very successful.

Moreover, whether it is in the development of the media or other aspects, Shengshi has gone hand in hand.

It's like the feeling of a classmate who was disliked by everyone in the class, and suddenly one day he became the richest man.

In addition to the film companies that have sprung up in Hong Kong, many local tyrants from Taiwan have also come to Hong Kong to open film companies, but it is not known how long these film companies can survive.

Su Chen didn't pay too much attention to the film, he developed it as he wanted, and he didn't pay attention to those various awards.

His attention is on other areas.

For example, the BB machine in his hand.

Anyway, many people have seen this thing before. If you can wear a white shirt, blue jeans, and a MOTO black brick on your waist, don’t mention how beautiful it is!
It is said that it used to be slow, chariots and horses were slow, and letters were also slow.

Before the 70s, ordinary people basically used letters as a means of communication.

By the mid-70s and early 80s, the telegraph became popular.

But still because of the high cost, everyone cherishes words like gold when sending telegrams, usually two words, such as "quick reply", "safety", "arrived" and so on.

The high demand for business also made the Telegraph Room one of the departments with the largest number of people in the post office.

In fact, BB machines have quietly emerged in the early years.

This thing has many titles in the market, pager, pager, BP machine and BB machine, these names or from the official, or from the description of the image.

Of course, there is a more well-known nickname with a Hong Kong and Taiwan accent-Call machine.

In 1983, Shanghai opened the first paging station in China, and pagers began to be widely used in China. Pagers need to rely on paging stations to use them.

Each BB machine has a paging number. The telephone user calls the paging station, and then the paging station makes a call. After the pager receives the information, the owner calls back.

As for the current BB machines are all imported products, the brands include Motorola, Panasonic and so on.

"Call me if you need anything."

It is quite proud to have a BB machine of my own these days!

It is also a status symbol.

The standard configuration of the BB machine is a golden chain and a small clip, and people like to fasten it in a conspicuous position around their waists.

Although the emergence of these things does promote the development of the communication industry, Su Chen still doesn't like it.

Maybe these things are high-end gadgets for many people, but in his eyes, even PHS is better than this.

But now the bearded Wu Ying is still studying for a master's degree at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in the United States, researching digital communication and digital signal processing.

The PHS technology had to wait until 1989 before it appeared in Japan's NTT laboratory.

Whether you like it or not, Su Chen is thinking about whether he can make money from it.

Because the current pagers do not support Chinese.

In the early pager market, equipment and service costs were not commonplace. Many pagers needed 100 yuan for network access, and when pagers that support Chinese appeared, the annual fee reached 600 yuan.

Su Chen called Feng Ronghua directly and asked him to come to Shengshi Building.

Because Su Chen didn't know if Jianfeng Technology could produce such a thing.

Soon, Feng Ronghua hurried over, and before Su Chen could speak, he spoke first: "Chairman, I just happened to be coming here, but I didn't expect you to call me first, I brought the same good one this time." thing……"
