"Please, Motorola, please work harder and get the treasure in your palm as soon as possible!"

After putting down the phone, Chen Chong couldn't help but complain. It was really inconvenient to have no cell phone - no one answered the phone on Lily, so he had to leave a voice message.

After working hard until around 11 o'clock, after completing the mailing work of more than 100 copies of "First Movie Magazine", Chen Chong returned to the Mandarin Hotel to prepare for lunch with Lee Kai-yuan, and then went back to Kwun Tong's office together to prepare for the afternoon interview.

"Beautiful girl, so beautiful." As soon as they met, Chen Chong whistled.

Li Kaiyuan wore a white single-breasted long windbreaker lined with a black sweatshirt with a little lace decoration. With the retried short hair, he was simple and generous, and was capable and soft, which was unforgettable.

"Really?" Li Kaiyuan was very happy to please her. She touched her hair carefully and asked, "Sister Qin took me to do it in the morning, how about it?"

"It's great." Chen Chong nodded and praised, circled around her, and praised: "On the night, the black chicken turned into a phoenix. Sister Qin is really a great magician."

"Go! Who is the black chicken..."

"Ming Pao Weekly" is the originator of Hong Kong gossip entertainment magazines, with sales of 200,000 to 300,000 copies per issue. It has a wide influence in the Chinese circle in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia.

Chen Chong was interviewed by Ming Pao Weekly, but he had no choice but to do so. Before traveling through time, he was in Chinese and wrote English articles at all. He smeared for more than two months and smeared three or five manuscripts. As a result, whether it was about the Iranian Revolution or the Vietnam War, after sending it out, they were all silent.

Seeing that the crew of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is about to enter the mainland, Chen Chong is still an unknown person, how can he attract Deng Gong's attention?

Since you can't make a fuss, just fry people...

Chen Chong decided to go barefoot and stir up himself.

He worked hard for several months and was well-known in the Hong Kong film circle. Most gods from all walks of life knew that there was such a person. However, in the eyes of the countless people outside the circle, Chen Chong was still a passerby who was so good.

His current state is like a writer who is busy with Longkong. He has been flooded with water, quarreled, got the essence, and has also made several comment lists. He can get familiar with many industry masters, but for people outside Longkong, Shen Chong is a fucking...

There are two senior entertainment reporters from Ming Pao Weekly who have high salaries. Through them, Chen Chong took the initiative to contact Ming Pao Weekly. A 20-year-old orphan man who dropped out of school earned tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in two or three months is also a very news gimmick. Both sides are like dry fire, and they are ignited as soon as they touch it.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, reporter He from Ming Pao Weekly arrived as promised, exchanged some greetings and the interview began.

After talking about some non-nutritional topics such as family background, reporter He began to talk about the topic: "Mr. Chen, the Rubik's Cube is a toy that exercises mathematical thinking. You are a Chinese student. How did you think of inventing the Rubik's Cube?"

"In fact, things similar to Rubik's Cube have always been in traditional Chinese culture." Chen Chong was prepared for a long time. The Chinese's ability to be far-fetched is probably second only to the Universe Kingdom. "For example, the Five Elements and Bagua and Luoshu River Chart are all mathematical games. For example, Huarong Road and Jiulianhuan folk juggling gadgets are also related to mathematics. It is the inspiration I got from these things that invented Rubik's Cube."

"Then how did you think of making money with this?"

"This is mainly due to Sister Yuanyuan." Chen Chong pushed the topic to Li Kaiyuan, who had been making a vase next to him.

"Oh, how did Miss Li discover it?"

"It's actually a coincidence." Li Kaiyuan said according to the script he had communicated in advance: "A Chong used a Rubik's Cube to teach my sister how to learn mathematics. I was in a foreign trade company at that time and was sensitive to this kind of thing. I thought Rubik's Cube was fun and intellectual, and there should be a market, so I quit my job and started a company with A Chong, which specializes in selling Rubik's Cubes."

"According to insiders, you had a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan at that time, so you quit and started a business. Are you not worried?"

"Of course I'm worried. Actually, I'm fine. If I can't sell it, I can find a job again. A Chong sold all the houses left by his parents." Li Kaiyuan didn't know whether he was recalling the past or thinking about his lines. His eyes narrowed slightly. After a while, he said: "We didn't have much money at that time. After the Rubik's Cube was finished, we ran all over Hong Kong and asked people to sell it on behalf of each store. Unexpectedly, thousands of them were sold on the first day, so he became confident. When the Spring Festival ended, after counting, we sold more than 100,000 Rubik's Cubes, which scared us all."

"If I remember correctly, the Rubik's Cube was launched on January 15th, and it was on New Year's Eve on January 27th." Reporter He obviously did his homework, and he asked: "So, the Rubik's Cube sold more than 100,000 in more than half a month?"

"Yes, I sold about 130,000 yuan." Li Kaiyuan deliberately showed off the data as Chen Chong told him in advance, saying, "I earned more than 8 million yuan."

Reporter He was startled and asked subconsciously: "More than 8 million in half a month? Is it all pure profit?"

"Of course not, it's sales." Li Kaiyuan plucked his hair and said with a smile that he wanted to cover up: "Profit is a commercial secret, and it is not convenient to disclose it."

Reporter He swallowed his saliva and asked, "Can you reveal the current sales of the Rubik's Cube?"

"After the Spring Festival, the emergence of many pirated Rubik's Cubes has caused our sales in the Hong Kong market to plummet and suffer heavy losses." Chen Chong took over the topic and said, "So we turned to foreign markets. In the past March, we sold more than 300,000 Rubik's Cubes in North America alone. If the production capacity was not limited, the sales data would be higher."

"Profit...no, how much is sales?"

"If you add up sales around the world, there will be more than $5 million in March."

More than 5 million US dollars, equivalent to Hong Kong dollars, almost 25 million a month, which is worth a lot of money every day. Even though reporter He was knowledgeable, he was shocked by the data. He was sure of his consciousness. After a while, he continued to ask: "Can I say that, conservatively, each of you can earn tens of millions of dollars every month?"

Li Kaiyuan looked at Chen Chong, then nodded and said, "It's almost the same."

"So what do you think the Rubik's Cube can be so successful?"

"Actually, I'm confused, too." Li Kaiyuan tweaked the hair on his forehead and said with a smile: "Everything was planned by A Chong. I just ran errands. I don't know why it succeeded or how it succeeded."

Reporter He turned his gaze to Shen Chong.

"It's actually very simple. Now human beings have entered the era of knowledge economy." Chen Chong said in a mysterious way: "As human knowledge - especially knowledge in science and technology - accumulates to a certain extent, the knowledge-based economy will surpass the material-based economy. In short, the ability of knowledge to create social wealth has surpassed the traditional production resources such as manpower and land..."

This is one of the dramas that I interviewed today. Shen Chongba Labala made a big splash, making reporter He dizzy.

In 1983, Paul-Romer, a professor at the University of California, proposed the "New Economic Growth Theory", believing that knowledge is an important factor of production and can increase investment returns. This marks the initial formation of the knowledge economy in theory. With the rise of the software knowledge industry represented by Microsoft, the knowledge economy has gained wide recognition.

As a member of the keyboard Politburo who was hanging out in the forum in his previous life, Chen Chongkan was familiar with this vague introduction to economics. He was polite and talked endlessly, but in fact he was just a reporter from an entertainment gossip weekly. Even if there were loopholes in the words of a half-bucket economic theory expert, reporter He couldn't hear it.

Chen Chong was also helpless. Since he talked about war and politics, no one paid attention to it, so he had to use his best move and use his unique magic weapon - talking about technology.

With the development of science and technology, especially information technology, the knowledge economy will soon sweep the world and become the focus of public attention.

Let go of the theory first, and after the great explosion of VisiCalc and Tetris investment, there will be theories and examples. Shen Chong is the pioneer and authoritative expert of the knowledge economy. If you write articles and posts, no one will ignore it.

Moreover, since Mr. Deng can put forward the slogan "Science and technology are the primary productive forces", he must be very interested in "knowledge economy"...

Chen Chong talked about the knowledge economy very much, which made reporter He confused. After all, in this era, material-based economic activities are deeply rooted in people's thinking, while knowledge-based economic activities are not allowed to be described in addition to typing and writing books. In the cognition of Hong Kong people, it seems that no one can make a big profit except Jin Yong and Ni Kuang - and Chen Chong also clearly excluded typing and writing books from the category of "knowledge economy".

Half an hour later, reporter He couldn't hold on anymore and interrupted Chen Chong's words very stiffly, changed the topic, and asked: "Mr. Chen, I heard that you have invested in a movie. Are you optimistic about the film industry or are you just a personal hobby?"

After all, "Ming Pao Weekly" is an entertainment gossip magazine. Chen Chong's purpose is to use it to throw out the term "knowledge economy" to attract the attention of influential professional economic journals.

"It is both a hobby and a optimistic future for Hong Kong movies." Chen Chong stopped when he saw the good news and began to enter today's second drama: "I think the Hong Kong film industry is currently in a critical period of reshuffle. Entering the market at this time will be very beneficial to the future."

When talking about movies, reporter He was excited. This is what he specialized in. "I have read several articles by Mr. Chen, who advocated the New Wave of Hong Kong movies. Can you tell me in detail what the New Wave means?"

"New Wave is mainly a word "new"." Regarding New Wave, Chen Chong has talked about it several times on different occasions and is very familiar. "New has three aspects. The first is that the rules of the entire industry have changed. In the past, the system was relatively rigid and talents could not be moved. But now, the Hong Kong film industry is changing to a star system dominated by agents. Talents in the industry can be hired freely, which greatly facilitates the shooting of movies."

"The second novelty is that the skills of making movies have become new. In the past, the masters and apprentices were handed down from generation to generation. Many techniques have become customary and patterned." Chen Chong gestured with both hands, and said while signaling: "In the past, when two people fought, they first gave the protagonist a close-up, then switched, gave the opponent a close-up, and then fought, and shot each move clearly, and then gave slow motion at critical moments. The language of these movies is very rigid, step by step, and unchanged, without their own style. After watching it for a long time, the audience will feel that all the movies seem familiar, just a starring role, a set of actions, and a different plot. Am I right?"

After thinking about it, reporter He nodded and agreed with Chen Chong's statement.

"Now there are many film talents in Hong Kong who have returned from overseas professional schools. They have learned the latest Western shooting technology and brought back many innovative ideas." Chen Chong made several boxing postures with very small movements and said: "For example, when two people fight, why do you have to shoot every move and every move? I took some intense physical contact movements, and then a person's face fell down with blood. Isn't that okay?"

Reporter He nodded repeatedly, and while writing in the shorthand, he asked: "What is there in the new wave?"

"It's the content. Now I go to the theater to watch movies. There are only three things to go over and over again. It's either a kung fu film with Zhang Che as the template, a romantic erotic film represented by Li Hanxiang, or a gimmick-up movie by Xu Guanwen." Chen Chong pointed at him, then pointed at himself and said, "Why don't you shoot the stories around us?"

Reporter He was stunned, stopped writing, and repeated: "The stories around us?"

"Movies are a very imaginative form of artistic expression. There are many stories around us to shoot." Chen Chong stood up and greeted reporter He, walked to the window of the office, pointed at the street below the building, and said, "Look, there is a man and a woman quarreling there. They can make a love movie; there is a bank business site over there, which can make a police and gangster film about how to rob a bank; for example, you see, there is an old lady selling fish balls, who can use her experience to make an epic film about the changes in Hong Kong society..."

After talking about several examples in a row, Chen Chong asked: "Reporter He, are such movies more interesting than those kung fu movies with the background of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China?"

"I don't know about others, but if there is such a movie, I will definitely watch it." Reporter He said convincedly: "Mr. Chen's thinking is really extraordinary. I admire it very much. No wonder he has achieved such a great achievement."

"I've been awarded too much, I've been awarded too much." Chen Chong was modest...

This interview lasted for more than two hours in total. Chen Chong had a great time chatting, and reporter He was happy and everyone was happy.

"You can really talk nonsense. I've been talking for so long." After reporter He left, Li Kaiyuan stretched his waist and said, "The reporter is so patient. I'm going to fall asleep as I hear it."

"I'm eating that bite, so of course I'm patient." Chen Chong looked at her pretty figure unscrupulously and asked, "I have a dinner party tonight. Do you want to go together?"

"I won't go anymore. I always feel weird when wearing this outfit." Li Kaiyuan stood up, picked up his handbag, and said, "I'll go back first, give my mother a shot tonight. Drink less alcohol."
