Hong Kong Movies: I am Hongxing, what the hell is the intelligence king?

Chapter 473 Media Battle
Everyone in Hong Kong knows that Lin Feng has many women.

The gossip surrounding Lin Feng and his eight wives has always been a popular topic of conversation among the neighbors.

For a man who is not a man, having three wives and four concubines is the ultimate fantasy.

If these three wives and four concubines could live in harmony, that would be the ultimate achievement.

Unfortunately, Lin Feng's woman is both beautiful and talented, which makes them extremely envious.

Lin Feng was never stingy with his women.

Eight women share a family fund. This fund is growing every month.

If any of the eight women wants to start a business, or if anyone has a good idea, they can apply through the monthly family meeting.

In fact, Le Huizhen didn't need Lin Feng's help at all; she could have taken over Zijing Media on her own.

However, Lin Feng still invested money in it.

Although his eight wives each had their own strengths and virtues, he still showed favoritism.

Fang Ting, for example, is loved a little more than the other wives.

The reason is quite simple: Fang Ting was willing to go crazy with him, even though she herself couldn't bear Lin Feng's beatings at all, she still spent the most time with Lin Feng.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood, and Lin Feng is not a saint; it's normal for him to have biases.

However, he did his best to treat all the women equally.

This brings us to an old but effective saying: "Harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things."

Lok Wai-chun has always been well-liked. When she founded her media company, other women came to help her.

Lin Feng was also asked by other women to help Le Huizhen.

Lin Feng was not a professional in media operations.

But he can plagiarize!

What is the most important thing for a TV station to become famous?
Great show!
Across mountains and rivers, our hearts are always connected.

Shanghai Bund

"The Legend of Condor Heroes"

"Dragon Babu"

"The Legend of Condor Heroes"

The Legend of Chu Liuxiang

Law and Compassion

Huo Yuanjia

"Unforgiving"

The Great Era

……

He could produce dozens of TV series by Lin Feng's twelfth uncle, Neng Xiang!
As for the educational programs that gave Lao Liu a headache, they were no challenge for Lin Feng at all.

"Millionaire" makes its grand debut!
Who says educational programs have to be dry, boring lectures?

As Confucius said, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

The most important thing is to let television viewers learn for themselves!

A million Hong Kong dollars in the late 1980s was a number that could drive people crazy.

You can earn money by simply answering eleven questions correctly. What could be faster than this?

These measures caused Zijing TV's ratings to skyrocket.

The sixth brother originally wanted to see Lin Feng make a fool of himself.

After all, different industries are like different worlds.

Lin Feng's performance, however, dealt him a heavy blow.

Goodness, this is something no amateur could do.
In a panic, Lao Liu made a decision that seemed ordinary in the past, but now appears to be fatal—he copied!

Then Jiang Chengyu's law firm sued him.

Prior to this, Sir Lee and others had pushed for a series of legislations, one of which was the Patent Law.

This didn't happen before.

Incidentally, even before Lin Feng's rebirth, Southeast Asian patent laws were practically non-existent.

When Lao Liu saw how popular quiz shows like "Millionaire" were, he was bound to copy them!

These kinds of shows are great at boosting ratings. Not only that, even though the prize money looks high, the advertising revenue is actually even higher.

Besides, only one person might win a prize after many episodes, so the cost of participating in this program is almost negligible.

If not him, then who should we copy?

This kind of thing is quite common, especially in the cultural field.

Lao Liu didn't copy Zijingtai exactly. Zijingtai set the amount to be one million yuan, but he doubled it to two million.

The questions at Zijingtai are all common sense about the mainland, but Lao Liu's are different; they are common sense about all countries in the world.

The difficulty of the questions at Zijingtai was quite ordinary, but Lao Liu directly increased the difficulty.

The Bauhinia Station required the entire event to be conducted in Mandarin, but Lao Liu went against him and spoke Cantonese directly.

Thanks to the TV station's audience, Lao Liu enjoyed his moment of glory for two weeks.

Then they happily received a court order to file a lawsuit.

Lao Liu was initially dismissive, but what Jiang Chengyu revealed startled him – long before the "Millionaire" program even aired, Jiang Chengyu had registered related patents in various countries around the world.

No matter which country or TV station wants to use this idea, they have to give the copyright to Zijing TV!

This kind of program concept is actually universal.

This program has gained international recognition.

Many countries, especially Western countries, are in talks with the Bauhinia Pavilion.

Old Six thus fell into a trap.

No matter how good his relationship was with the foreigner with the ramen-noodle hair, he still lost in the face of the undeniable facts.

Not only can plagiarized programs not be broadcast, but they must also praise their own TV station for issuing a public apology to Bauhinia TV for seven consecutive days.

Of course, Lao Liu wouldn't apologize as he wished.

The apology was barely bigger than a fly's graffiti, yet it was broadcast as subtitles during off-peak hours.

In any case, the court's ruling did not specify what form an apology should take.

Lao Liu thought the matter was over and done with.

Little did they know, this was just the beginning.

He knew Le Huizhen's name; after all, she was Lin Feng's concubine, so it was impossible for him not to know her name.

However, he always treated Lok Wai-chun with a condescending attitude.

Working in media is not an easy job.

If it were that easy, he wouldn't be revered on Mount Wutai.

Lao Liu actually looked down on Le Huizhen.

Then the other party gave him a big surprise.

Not long after the "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" program aired, it became a hit on news programs.

Bauhinia TV, citing an exclusive news report controlled by George, broadcast a scandal in Onsa—the toxic blood scandal!
This made it the focus of all of Hong Kong.

Old Six was dumbfounded.

He never imagined that Onsa would cause such a huge mess.

The hemophilia caused by toxic blood plasma made Onsa a laughing stock in the international community.

It also exposed a scandal in the Ugly Kingdom.

No one would have guessed that the blood plasma industry is one of the top ten industries in the world’s most powerful and wealthy nation.

Lao Liu had just caught his breath from this breaking news.

Lin Feng's various high-quality TV dramas have started airing.

There is a super high-quality drama series airing both during the day and at night.

How hot is it?

During this period, there were absolutely no people in the cinemas!

Many viewers almost went crazy.

The hotline at Zijingtai was almost overwhelmed with calls.

They strongly demanded that the show be rebroadcast.

Zijing TV readily accepted the good advice and decided to rebroadcast the program.

Of course, changing the existing playback schedule is impossible.

The show can only be rebroadcast after both TV series have finished airing.

The shows that were originally scheduled to air during the day were suddenly moved to the evening.

The show, which was originally scheduled to air in the evening, was naturally moved to the morning.

This has really worried Lao Liu and the people working in the cinema.

Everyone was saying that the big screen had stolen market share from the small screen, but I never expected it to be the other way around.

The streets were practically deserted!
Hung Hing's cinema chain was also affected.

If it weren't for "Shaolin Temple" saving the day, they would have definitely lost money.

The script for "Shaolin Temple" was naturally written by Lin Feng.

The sixth brother gritted his teeth and persevered.

He refused to believe that Zijingtai could possibly have a continuous stream of good dramas!
He already knows it clearly enough.

The production of the two high-quality TV dramas on Zijing TV was rushed, and they were filmed and broadcast simultaneously.

While this method allows for quick TV appearances, it also means that even a minor mishap could lead to serious trouble.

Even the top screenwriters at TV stations wouldn't dare to do something like this.

Unfortunately, Lao Liu was unaware that while Bauhinia TV did indeed film and broadcast simultaneously, they did not use the traditional Hong Kong method of writing and filming on the flyer; rather, they simply changed their operating procedures.

Flying paper is like a serialized novel.

Completing a script in advance is like saving a draft and uploading it.

It's hard to say which one is better.

A serialized novel isn't necessarily uninteresting, and a completed novel isn't necessarily exciting.

One thing is obvious: a completed novel with a draft available makes it easier for the author to revise the plot. Not to mention that Lin Feng is writing the script from a detached perspective.

This naturally makes filming easier for the director and actors.

Not only did the actors find filming easier, but the director also experienced less psychological pressure.

Moreover, the rebroadcast of the first two dramas on Zijing TV gave them ample time for production.

Lao Liu persisted for more than half a year!

He couldn't hold on any longer!
Then, one day, the news on Zijing TV broadcast a bombshell report—the Red Bear had staged a coup!

All eyes in Hong Kong were drawn to it.

The sixth brother is under a lot of pressure!

He almost couldn't breathe.

Then, according to the comments of a special commentator from Zijingtai, the disintegration of the red bear is imminent!

Lao Liu almost burst out laughing when he heard this!

He thought he wouldn't last this year, and that TV station might change hands next year, just like the other competitors he had defeated before.

To his utter surprise, the other party gave him a chance to catch his breath.

He would certainly seize such an opportunity.

The sixth brother immediately made a plan—to use the Zijingtai news to restore his glory.

That's a red bear, one of the diodes; how could it disintegrate so easily?
Zijingtai is risking its life for viewership!

Things seemed to be going according to Lao Liu's plan, and sure enough, the citizens of Hong Kong shared similar thoughts with him.

The hotline is being bombarded with calls.

Many people have said that Zijintai's editorial was shameless.

For the sake of traffic, they've even abandoned their credibility!
The sixth son was overjoyed.

Come to think of it, he was being beaten so badly that he was completely helpless and was about to be finished.

Unexpectedly, the other side provided a crucial assist.

Lok Wai-chun is such a good person!
As long as TV stations reap the benefits of this wave, they still have time to contend with Zijing TV.

Unfortunately, Lao Liu's joy was short-lived. A bolt from the blue arrived – Su Mozong delivered a public speech, announcing the disintegration of the Red Bear!
Upon hearing this news, Lao Liu coughed up a mouthful of blood and immediately fainted!
TV station was already at a disadvantage in its confrontation with Bauhinia TV station, and it was only thanks to the sixth brother's morale boosting that it managed to hold on. Once he collapsed, he put power in the hands of his concubine.

This concubine was known for her harsh treatment of others.

As a result, everyone at the TV station felt insecure.

Just then, Zijingtai stabbed them in the back again.

Previously, Lok Wai-chun was a star news anchor on TVB, and now she's stepping forward to recruit talent.

At the beginning, Le Huizhen's recruitment might not have worked, since there were only a few people who could go to Zijingtai to start a business with her.

Recruiting now would be the death knell for the TV station.

After all, Le Huizhen followed Lin Feng's style, had money in her hands, and was happy to let her subordinates make money.

This is something that the sixth concubine could never compare to.

Then Wang Jingjing, that chubby girl, persuaded her father to resign from the TV station.

The chubby boy's father is a very important figure at TVB; the TV series he produces are always TVB's flagship productions.

The Hong Kong film and television industry is quite different from that of other regions.

The producer has more power than any director.

The style of a movie or TV series is not up to the director or screenwriter; it is entirely up to the producer.

Even the power to cut footage is not in the director's hands, but in the producer's.

The quality of the producer naturally reflects the quality of the series.

Most importantly, the chubby boy's father has countless disciples and followers at TV station!
His departure brought with it a large number of behind-the-scenes personnel.

As for actors, those are not easy to leave.

After all, TV station has a contract with them.

However, the exploitation of actors by TV stations... is truly like that of a skinflint.

For most actors, their paychecks aren't enough to support themselves, so they have to rely on their families for financial assistance.

For example, Fang Tangjing, in addition to filming, also had to rely on his family for support, otherwise he would really go hungry.

In comparison, the treatment at Zijing TV Station is simply too good.

Lok Wai-chun treats television as a career and has a very long-term vision.

Ultimately, television stations rely on television programs—mainly dramas—to boost ratings.

She has a very long-term vision.

Good actors are also a calling card for a television station to present to the outside world.

The most important thing is that she doesn't lack money!

There are various paths available.

The advertising revenue from Hung Hing Group is enough to sustain Bauhinia Media.

There are countless businessmen who actively place advertisements on Zijingtai in order to cooperate with Hung Hing Group and to have even the slightest connection with Lin Feng!
This gives Lok Hye-jin ample confidence to wage a ratings war.

The most important point is—

Lin Feng's full support behind Le Huizhen.

The full support of a billionaire—that's an enormous resource!

Want news?
Exclusive interviews with senior executives of Hung Hing Group.

Want TV series?
There are various high-quality resources provided by Lin Feng.

Lok Wai-chun was full of confidence; she was absolutely certain she wouldn't lose!

As it turns out, she really wasn't going to lose.

A year has passed, and TV station has been beaten so badly that it can't fight back at all.

Even with the Duchess's Mansion's tacit support, TV station is still struggling to stay afloat.

Why do we say "in the dark"?

Sir Lee is keeping an eye on things inside Parliament!
Things are different now. Hung Hing is now the dominant force in Hong Kong, and nothing can be done without Hung Hing.

Anyone who disagrees with Hung Hing, or who fantasizes about giving Hung Hing a hard time, will be punished.

If Hung Hing says a word, they'll be in deep trouble.

For example, there might be a water or power outage.

For example, a communication failure.

For example, a gang causing trouble!
The Hung Hing Group now completely controls Hong Kong's public works projects—such as water, electricity, natural gas, telegraph and telephone, electric lights, transportation, etc.

It doesn't stop there.

Hung Hing also secretly controlled Hong Kong's rice, flour, meat, eggs, vegetables, and fruits through Sun Luen Shing!
Hung Hing also controlled the entire fishing grounds through Wo Luen Shing and Wo Hing Shing.

That's not all!

Hung Hing also blocked smuggling channels through water houses.

In Lin Feng's previous life, there was a saying in South Korea that a Korean, from birth to death, could not escape two things: taxes and Samsung.

In this Hong Kong of this time and space, from birth to death, a Hong Konger cannot escape taxes and the Hung Hing Group!

The Dude doesn't care who controls the Hong Kong market, but he absolutely doesn't want a control method like that of the Hung Hing Group.

So he secretly began to instigate various merchants to rebel against Hung Hing.

Hong Kong has not yet been returned to China; the foreigners still have the final say.

Some truly foolish fellows believed the governor's nonsense.

And then... that was it.

Lin Feng's intelligence system received the news immediately.

Naturally, targeted measures will be taken.

This is perfectly natural.

Before the governor could even begin his rousing encouragement, George had already taken action under Lin Feng's command.

On the one hand, he instructed the ICAC's deputy commissioner to investigate the relevant companies, and on the other hand, he instructed triads such as Wo Luen Shing to cause trouble for the corresponding companies.

It was only at this point that George realized he had been using the gang too crudely.

How should one utilize intelligence personnel from numerous organizations?

Of course, they can fabricate all sorts of intelligence!

We must take action against the target?
My intelligence is always accurate.

Can we wait a bit before making a move?

My intelligence is a prophecy.

No matter how you calculate it, you can only make a profit and never lose money.

George's eyes sparkled as he silently cursed himself for being an idiot.

If he had known about this method earlier, he would have been promoted long ago.

Of course, it's not too late now.

George's "achievements" quickly reached Chongqing through various channels.

by the way,
Because of the information George had provided about the dismantling of the Red Bear, he had gained considerable fame.

The government of Chongqing truly did not expect the Red Bear to disintegrate so quickly.

Even though they set up a special team to conduct research, it was still too late.

Therefore, it is quite obvious that the Dezhuoer government has faced considerable scrutiny.

After all, George's intelligence was practically transparent to officials of a certain rank.

At this point, no one questioned George's intelligence like they had before; everyone became armchair strategist after the fact, launching into a tirade against Mrs. Daydre.

With such clear intelligence right in front of you, how could you still doubt it? That's incredibly incompetent!
Mrs. Therese was in a terrible state of confusion.

Grand Duke Cunningham seized this opportunity to greatly enhance George's reputation.

Lin Feng also instructed George to have Isa recount the whole story in detail.

As a result, George's reputation soared.

Almost all the Ansar foreigners lamented – if it weren't for that fool Mrs. Dazare's distrust of George's information, Ansar wouldn't have lost hope of rising again!
