The concept of California's high-speed rail in scale is close to the original Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail in China decades later, but its length is still not as long as the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail.
According to the existing plan, the funding for the construction of California's high-speed rail is from three aspects - federal grants, California's self-financing and private equity.
Among them, Tang Huan's confirmed investment soared from the earliest US$200 million to the recent US$1.5 billion. And he contributed a large share of start-up funds, which basically completed the preliminary work of the California high-speed rail project.
This shows how confident the richest man in the United States is in the California high-speed rail project is, and to some extent, his strength and rapid growth.
The so-called self-financing in California is nothing more than financing means such as issuing bonds.
Although Californians are very enthusiastic about California's high-speed rail with the richest man in the United States, California taxpayers are also very realistic and are conservative about such infrastructure projects with too long investment cycles and are unwilling to add burdens.
After all, no matter how beautiful the future is, it is still the future; the biggest enemy of a bright future is a lot of uncertainty.
In addition, the construction of California's high-speed rail also involves issues such as land, demolition, environmental protection, etc.
However, in Tang Huan's view, such difficulties are easy to solve compared to decades in the original time and space; the real key is to let Californians realize the value of California's high-speed rail and pass the financing bill.
Fortunately, Tang Huan is very familiar with the way to create momentum and strive for the public's expectations. His extensive relationships over the years are not just a false reputation. Like the New York Post, the jumping clown jumping up and down and spitting at him, but in the end he can only become a joke to relieve his boredom, and his connections are playing a role subtly.
What's more, Tang Huan still has the power of Hollywood in his hands, and it's time for celebrities from all walks of life to stand up and contribute their appeal.
"If the California high-speed rail is completed, then filmmakers who travel between north and south will definitely get great convenience." Spielberg faintly revealed his attitude towards the California high-speed rail project.
"However, the California high-speed rail threatens the existing interests of civil aviation and road transportation." Tang Huan said leisurely: "The reason why these opponents are using enough fire to target me is simply the idea of shooting people and shooting horses first, and capturing the thief first. What's ridiculous is that in addition to finding plausible basis from financial burdens and unemployment rates, they also brought out a clumsy excuse, describing the California high-speed rail as a tool for making huge profits by myself. They really regard everyone as fools who can fool them at will."
"After the rumors have been circulating for a long time, many people who don't know the truth will inevitably regard it as true, so it's better to clarify it." Spielberg suggested with concern.
"It really needs to be explained seriously." Tang Huan nodded, "It is gratifying that many people still understand me and support me."
Speaking of this, Tang Huan changed his tone and asked casually: "I heard that you took a movie from Warner and need to be filmed in China."
This is a manifestation of Tang Huan's cleverness in being a human being. He almost grasped all the dynamics of important Hollywood filmmakers like Spielberg, and expected that this busy man would not only give "American Rat" sample to himself to appreciate, but also have other requests, namely the movie "empire of thesun" that Warner is preparing to film - "The Sun Empire".
This project comes from the adaptation rights of the novel of the same name purchased by Warner. The author is British novelist James Graham Ballard, who is considered a master of apocalyptic novel. The 1984 "The Sun Empire" is a relatively traditional war novel, and has received great praise and is also semi-autobiographical.
Because, James Graham Ballard was born in the public concession in Shanghai, China in 1930, and grew up there until the outbreak of the Pacific War and Japan imprisoned these British people in concentration camps.
This painful experience of "doing anything to fill your stomach" has a great influence on James Graham Ballard. In the novel "The Sun Empire", the story of a little boy named Jim as a prisoner of war in the concentration camp was inspired.
Just like the theme of "Lost Innocence" in "e.t. Alien", Spielberg was very interested in this project, and finally joined the project halfway and became the director.
Obviously, there is one aspect that cannot be avoided in this movie, that is, it is to go to China_Hai to film on site.
Therefore, Warner contacted relevant parties in the mainland, but the negotiations were progressing very slowly, which seriously slowed down the progress of the project.
Seeing this, Warner boss Steve Ross was a little unsatisfied. The shooting budget for "Sun Empire" was as high as $35 million, and every one day delayed means an extra loss.
There is no way, just find a way. In this way, Warner naturally thought of Tang Huan's faction.
You should know that the "Phantom of the Tomb" series, which is famous for its novelty and magnificence, was filmed in mainland China. The effect not only makes the movie itself of excellent quality, but also makes curious American audiences fascinated.
In China, people are like fish in water, but Warner is futile, which can only be a problem of ability.
However, Warner boss Steve Ross was unwilling to come to Tang Huan in person. Although the two of them were closed down, the price paid by Steve Ross was the controlling stake in Atari and Warner Records, which was difficult to get rid of!
Back then, he was confused about the adaptation rights of the video game of the movie "e.t. Alien" to Spielberg, who sold the unprecedented number of more than $30 million to Warner. Of course, he knew the entanglement between the two sides. In addition, although one was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten, it was absolutely true that he cheated the other party too hard, and he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
In this way, Spielberg volunteered, "I'll go and talk about this to Tang."
Of course, Steve Ross couldn't ask for it, so he quickly let Spielberg take full responsibility.
But Spielberg did not expect that Tang Huan was so upset by the troubles of California's high-speed rail, and it was really hard to find an opportunity to speak out.
Now that Tang Huan took the initiative to ask about this, Spielberg felt so relieved and quickly replied: "Yes, I need to reproduce the Shanghai Sea, which was occupied by Japan in the 1940s, as much as possible, including closing some blocks and hiring a large number of extras. It is estimated that the shooting time will take at least three weeks."
Speaking of this, Spielberg smiled bitterly, "But the problem is that the communication between Warner and the local area has always been difficult to achieve, and even the progress of the project has been affected. I wonder if Tang can mediate it?"
"No problem." Tang Huan nodded happily and agreed, and finally said: "I happen to have a big-produced movie on the mainland, called "Mulan", starring Lin Qingxia. If you have time, you might as well go over and give some advice."
"I've heard Katherine Kennedy talk about this project and have participated in the discussion." Spielberg laughed. "I guess this movie will be favored by feminists first."
...
Not long after Spielberg left, the conflicts caused by the construction of California's high-speed rail suddenly intensified, and even caused a stir on the east coast of the United States. Jerry Brown, chairman of the California High-speed Rail Administration, made a special trip from the west coast of the United States to New York to meet and discuss with Tang Huan.
Jerry Brown served as the governor of California between 1975 and 1983. His current US President Reagan, and his next term was Jerry Brown's father, Pat Brown.
So it can be said that Jerry Brown was born into a political family in California.
