Chapter 279 Killing a Cheng Yaojin halfway
The propaganda of the last emperor was steadily progressing, not only television, radio, and newspapers, but also in a different way.
For a period of time, quite a lot of Americans found that whether they were watching TV, listening to radio or reading newspapers, they could always see the introduction of this movie about the last emperor of ancient and mysterious China in important and unimportant places.
The publicity was done well, and the feedback was also very effective.
Not to mention this time, foreigners’ impression of China is still ancient and mysterious in decades.
This is how people are. The more mysterious things they are, the more curious they are. It would be fine if they can’t get in touch on weekdays, but once they have the opportunity to get in touch, they would want to explore and understand clearly.
Especially for a country like the United States, which has only a history of more than two hundred years, only a president has never had a king or emperor, it is extremely curious for China, which has been hidden in the mist for thousands of years.
Having the opportunity to learn about the life story of the mysterious Chinese emperor is something that many people yearn for.
So in the subsequent random interviews of professional survey companies in many cities in the United States, many interviewed people said that they had watched and heard reports about the last emperor in TV, radio and newspapers.
More than half of these people who have known this said that if the movie is released, they will prepare to watch it, because watching the movie can make you more comprehensively understand what the life of the last emperor in China is like.
Qiao Feng and the issuing company Twentieth Century Fox were both very satisfied with this result.
Because it's really good, it's rare for most people to say that it may be watched by a non-commercial film.
The promotion of the last emperor is still continuing, and the acquisition of the computer animation department of Lucasfilm, hosted by Shi Nansheng, has also made great progress.
In terms of price, after being cold on Qiao Feng for a while, George Lucas had taken the initiative to reduce the price, and then further declined after several negotiations.
Now the price expectation gap between the two sides has dropped to less than 3.5 million. Shi Nansheng bit 7.5 million and did not give in, while George Lucas was not willing to drop it after it dropped to 11 million.
One million is completely within the acceptable price of Qiao Feng. In fact, if George Lucas bites 20 million to death, Qiao Feng would accept it in the end.
However, George Lucas himself was not confident in the computer animation department and wanted to get rid of this burden, so after making a little interest from Qiao Feng, George Lucas himself became soft first.
Of course, if he could get it for less money, Qiao Feng would not be foolish enough to pay more, so he let Shi Nansheng and the others compete with George Lucas, and the price could be negotiated.
During this period, all the creators who returned to the future were here. As soon as Guan Zhilin came to the United States, she went to see her mother and younger brother first.
Anyway, she didn't have many scenes in the last two episodes, so she also allowed her to stay with her mother for a few more days and film other scenes in the second part first. When she wanted to film, she called the crew to prepare in advance and then film.
Qiao Feng took the time to visit Universal Studios, which was considered a visit to the set. After seeing Lin Qingxia away, Guan Zhilin called him to her mother's place.
"Mr. Qiao, there was something wrong with the acquisition, and some others were also interested in the computer animation department. "On that day, Guan Zhilin and her mother went out shopping. The remaining Qiao Feng and Guan Zhilin's younger brother were staring at home with big eyes and bored staring. Shi Nansheng called and said in a hurry.
"Did Lucas reveal it to you? Do you know who it is?" Qiao Feng asked hurriedly.
"It's not Lucas, it's John Lassett, who is said to be the former president of Apple Computers," said Shi Nansheng.
"Jobs?" Qiao Feng's voice rose.
"Well, yes, that's the name." Shi Nansheng over there found it strange. She didn't expect that Qiao Feng had some understanding of people in the United States who do not belong to the entertainment industry but to the IT industry.
Of course she could not know that in the future, the most famous Americans may be besides the president, and among them, the most famous one is Jobs.
Because this big guy is the one who created a kidney machine, I don’t know how many people love and hate him.
Qiao Feng’s resume is well known to Jobs because this person is so legendary.
After birth, Jobs was abandoned by his biological parents and adopted by a kind-hearted couple.
He was born in the same year and started a company in the same year. Later, Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, was different from that of the world. Bill Gates did not go to college because he didn't miss it anymore. Bill Gates established a company so quickly because he had a strong family as his backing.
Jobs was different. Jobs' family was very average. He only took a semester for college and then took a leave of absence due to economic factors, and then started working.
However, he was obsessed with electronics since he was a child, and he remained interested after taking a break from school to work. While Jobs went to work, he often worked with his good friend Wozniak, who had the same interest, and was thinking about computers in his own car. They dreamed of owning their own computers, but the ones sold on the market were commercial, large and extremely expensive, so they prepared to develop them themselves. In 1976, he bought a 6502 chip at the Wisconsin Computer Products Exhibition in San Francisco. With the 6502 chip, two young people installed the first computer in Jobs' garage.
In order to raise funds for mass production, Jobs sold his Volkswagen car, and Woz also sold his HP 65 calculator. In this way, they had $1,300.
On April 1, 1976, Jobs, Woz and Jobs' friend Long Wayne signed a contract to establish a computer company. Subsequently, Jobs, 21, and Steve Wozniak, 26, established Apple in their car room.
At first, Apple's business was light, but then an accidental opportunity brought a turn for Apple. Retailer Paul Terrell came to Jobs' garage. After watching Jobs' demonstration of the computer, he decided to order 50 units of the whole machine, which was the first business he had done.
After that, it gradually grew stronger from small-scale production of apples. By 1980, Apple was listed in less than an hour, all 4.6 million shares were sold out and closed at $29 per share that day.
Apple executives have produced four billionaires and more than 40 millionaires. Jobs ranks first as the founder of the company.
Then, because Jobs' business philosophy is different from most managers at that time, and IBM launched personal computers to seize the blockbuster market, the general manager and directors blamed the chairman Jobs, and the board of directors decided to revoke his operating rights.
After several failed power seizures, Jobs left the company he founded in 1985.
Everyone knows what happened later. Jobs was eventually invited back to Apple, which could not be supported. Then Apple was reborn, and when the kidney machine was born, Apple entered the fast lane, and then became the company with the highest market value in the IT industry.
