The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 232 Strength!

Weng Hong felt immense pressure when facing Guan Jiahui.

It's important to know that Kwan Ka-wai's role models are top Hong Kong tycoons like Lau.

Of course, at this time, Wu Feng might be slightly less successful than Lau on the surface, but he was still a member of Hong Kong's top tycoons.

Unexpectedly, Guan Jiahui had her eye on him.

After Weng Hong ran away, she immediately found Li Saifeng, who also had free time.

Once the matter was explained, Li Saifeng immediately became furious.

"We can't give this woman any chance, or we'll be in big trouble!"

Li Saifeng, being a martial artist, was far more courageous than Weng Hongzhuang.

Although she felt a little uneasy around Guan Jiahui.

After all, this woman doesn't have a great reputation, but she's undeniably beautiful.

She's willing to seduce men; how many men could resist that?

Ordinary Hong Kong citizens have a very limited understanding of the affairs of female celebrities in the entertainment industry, like looking at flowers through a fog, unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

As insiders, the two women were well aware of Guan Jiahui's impressive track record.

In truth, Guan Jiahui at this time was very similar to Fan Bayi in later generations.

None of the films she starred in have produced a memorable character.

The main reason she became a top-tier celebrity is that she is beautiful and has high popularity.

The Thirteenth Aunt, which made her famous, was released in 1991, a few years ago.

Li Saifeng and Weng Hong quickly reached an agreement not to give any opportunity to the outside world's female demons!

They were well aware that as Fengrui Films' influence grew, the number of Hong Kong actresses wanting to join the company increased.

Putting aside other things, the relationship between Fengrui Films and Mongkok News and Novel Monthly is now out in the open; they are all Fengrui Films' script material library.

Both "Mongkok News" and "Fiction Monthly" were the top story publications in Hong Kong at that time.

While not every story above is particularly exciting, they are all at least above average!

With such a large readership, once adapted into a film or television series, it will naturally have a certain number of fans.

For female celebrities from outside the industry, Fengrui Films has plenty of films to shoot!

This is the most important thing.

In fact, since its second year of operation, Fengrui Films has produced at least fifteen or sixteen films a year, which is quite an impressive number.

Even if they were all low- to medium-budget films, the sheer number of films shot would still be astonishing.

The key point is that it's extremely rare for a film produced by Fengrui Films to fail at the box office, which is quite remarkable.

With so many films being produced, a considerable number of actors are needed!
Fengrui Film & Television's own cast is naturally insufficient, and it often needs to hire external actors.

Furthermore, the company's own actors can also take on roles in other films!

Otherwise, how could Yvonne Yung and Guan Jiahui have any connection?
For female celebrities, only by participating in enough films can they maintain continuous exposure and continue to maintain and enhance their commercial value.

The difference between starring in a bad movie and starring in a movie that is profitable at the box office is quite significant.

In fact, every female celebrity in Hong Kong has acted in bad movies!

Moreover, the greater the fame, the more bad movies they appear in.

Fengrui Film & Television has a significant advantage in this regard.

On the other hand, Fengrui Films doesn't have the messy stuff that the entertainment industry does.

In Hong Kong, actors and celebrities are all categorized as "lower class" by those from humble backgrounds.

It would seem quite glamorous to ordinary people, but to the upper class, it wouldn't be impressive enough.

Similarly, film and television companies often force their female stars to participate in various events and dinners.

Anyway, this led to all sorts of rather unpleasant rumors.

High-end public relations and price lists are extremely damaging to a female celebrity's reputation.

If it's consensual or you're willing to do it, then it doesn't matter!
However, sometimes female celebrities are not in control of their own lives and have to do things against their will.

Why are Hong Kong actresses so determined to marry into wealthy families?

Besides economic needs, there is also the desire for status and identity.

Don't give me that excuse that Hong Kong actresses don't earn much!

With a large influx of hot money into the Hong Kong film industry, the salaries of top actresses have become quite substantial.

The salary for a movie reached over a million, which was not bad in Hong Kong at that time, right?
If they work hard enough, they can earn tens of millions a year just from their film fees!
With a few years of hard work, accumulating tens of millions in assets is not difficult at all!
With advertising endorsement income added, they'll only earn more!
Compared to the so-called wealthy and beautiful, ordinary rich people in Hong Kong Island don't have much of an advantage in making money!
Unfortunately, female celebrities don't have much social status!

This makes actresses vulnerable to harm when triads infiltrate the film industry!
The things that have been exposed are already shocking enough, but no one knows how many other dirty deeds involving female celebrities are still being exposed behind the scenes.

If all film companies in Hong Kong do this, then there's nothing more to say.

Once top-tier actresses have made enough money, they will quickly retire from the limelight, regardless of whether they are in their prime.

True evergreen stars in the entertainment industry are extremely rare!
Kefeng Films is an absolute outlier in the Hong Kong film industry.

Leaving aside the fact that when we started out, we were deeply involved with Silver City Group, which was a risky business.

Once they established themselves in the Hong Kong film industry, they adopted a model that combined cultural and entertainment elements.

The key point is that Sharp is remarkably clean!

Basically, they don't need their female stars to accompany them for drinks or entertain guests.

This alone is enough to make Hong Kong actresses feel favorably toward her.

Not to mention, Fengrui Films is developing rapidly and has produced a considerable number of films, which naturally attracts the attention of top actresses.

If it weren't for their exorbitant prices, Fengrui Films might actually have opened its doors to recruit top-tier actresses from outside the industry, which would have been a great thing for the company.

As time goes by, Sharp Pictures' appeal to top actresses in Hong Kong is only growing stronger.

Guan Jiahui was just the fastest to act, but she was definitely not the only one.

Are you kidding me? With Fengrui Films starting to produce big-budget films, its appeal to top Hong Kong actresses has become completely different from what it used to be.

Moreover, the company produces a variety of film genres, giving female stars from outside the industry more opportunities to choose from.

Wu Feng was naturally unaware of the subtle changes involved.

His lifestyle is quite regular; unless invited by friends, he usually only appears at his own home or in some business settings.

This saved him from a lot of unwanted romantic advances!

With all matters at hand on track, potential threats were firmly kept at bay.

There are not many things that need to worry him anymore, so he can sit back and relax.

At this point, he was no ordinary figure in Hong Kong. He owned a considerable number of businesses, and his network of connections was also extensive.

After nearly two years of operation, both Mong Kok Police Station and Sai Kung Police Station are now considered "one of us".

In fact, Wu Feng didn't spend much of his own money to befriend them.

Whether it was the 1986 World Cup or the 1988 European Championship, they were all great opportunities for him to make friends, because he was so good at predicting.

In particular, when he wanted to trick that guy in Australia, he secretly leaked a lot of information.

In short, after the two football tournaments, the top officials of both police departments were all very wealthy, and even the lower-ranking police officers made a lot of money.

It wasn't just the two major football events; Wu Feng also used so-called "insider information" to forge alliances of interest in betting on events like the "Unrestricted Fighting Tournament" and beauty pageants.

The effect is quite good!
In fact, Lam Pak-yee had previously made a test, but was stopped at the Mong Kok Police Station.

It wasn't that the police were stubbornly resisting, but rather that they were playing the trick of not putting in any effort. Even Lin Baiyi was helpless about this. He couldn't very well put pressure on the foreign executives because of this, could he?

Moreover, the police station staff provided considerable convenience in the pork trotter rice business and the high-quality counterfeit goods business.

Furthermore, some of the companies under his control also recruited family members of police officers to work for him.

Mong Kok is relatively secluded, while Sai Kung is much more open and secluded.

Seafood markets, truck drivers, and some service industry jobs are all good resources.

In addition, he also provided some vague information about the foreign exchange market and the stock market to some people with whom he had a good relationship. In short, the relationship was quite good.

Furthermore, there are many sports and game competitions held on Garden Street that could be used to generate revenue.

In short, Wu Feng has built a vast network of interests in a very short period of time!
It's naturally not very useful against the higher-ups in the West.

However, when dealing with ordinary high-ranking officials in the Hong Kong government, they can still help delay things for a while.

As for doing things like offering convenience in ordinary times, that's just what we should do.

To put it simply, unless he does something too outrageous, he's still quite safe in Hong Kong.

This is the main reason why Hung Hing leader Chiang Tin-sang was envious.

Wu Feng mainly provides suitable advice and helps people get rich together.

In this process, he demonstrated sufficient ability and strength.

Unlike Jiang Tiansheng, who mainly supplied money directly to the so-called upper class.

Doing so makes you an easy target for exploitation.

Even if Jiang Tiansheng has any talent, he can't show it off, or he won't gain the attention of certain people.

Sometimes, things just get really messed up!

Fortunately, Jiang Tiansheng listened to Wu Feng's advice and has already taken other actions.

As long as you have money in your pocket and don't act recklessly, it's quite easy to make a name for yourself. Jiang Tiansheng had fallen into a misconception in the past.

It's an overemphasis on the so-called upper class's views, or the mindset of a triad leader.

At this point, his wealth was comparable to that of the top billionaires, so there was no need for him to be too stingy; he could simply flaunt his riches.

Before we knew it, it was September 1988.

Nothing unpleasant happened during the traditional summer vacation.

Wu Feng lived a very leisurely and carefree life.

When Li Saifeng and Weng Hong were around, he would take the initiative to spend more time with them.

When the two women were filming, he focused his energy on physical training and handling various matters, showing no signs of slacking off.

On the virtual panel, the health bar representing the military's hard qigong has successfully reached 90%.

However, once you reach this point, it becomes quite difficult to take it a step further.

Wu Feng has experienced moments of profound insight several times during his training sessions.

What I realized was basically the feeling that it was difficult to improve hard qigong in the military.

It was as if his body was sending him a message: his current physical condition was no longer sufficient to support him in advancing his military-style hard qigong further.

Wu Feng has always taken these inexplicable feelings he has had very seriously.

Since he had such insights from time to time, after trying it for a while, he gradually began to relax his training in this area.

The military-style hard qigong, with its health bar reaching 90%, had an exaggerated effect.

He had tried it himself; a regular dagger, when used forcefully, could only leave a shallow cut on the body.

And soon, this shallow cut will scab over and heal on its own.

In normal times, when sparring with his bodyguards, his ability to withstand blows is exceptionally strong.

A normal punch would cause him almost no harm.

Once you hold your breath, the muscles and bones in your body become as hard as if they were cast from steel.

Even if you are hit by a blunt object, the damage to your body will not be significant!

How should I put it? It has a bit of the air of someone who has successfully mastered the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Shirt techniques in the world of martial arts.

Wu Feng was quite satisfied with this.

Not to mention, with his military-grade hard qigong reaching this level, his own improvement in strength is no joke.

His arm strength alone is probably at the level of a thousand pounds.

If you kick it with all your might, you can break even a normal water pipe!

His bodyguards and his most capable henchmen are no longer willing to spar with him.

It's okay in the short term, but it simply can't withstand the long-term effects.

To put it simply, if he were to participate in a street fight right now, he would definitely be a god of war.

The watermelon knives that the underlings usually use are not very harmful even if they cut you.

Ordinary boxing is like tickling someone, unless you use a steel pipe or baseball bat, in which case you will only get hurt when you hit someone with all your might.

Even so, it was just a minor injury to the muscles and bones!
With his current resilience and the immense strength in his hands, he would definitely be a strong contender for the championship if he participated in the "Unrestricted Fighting Tournament".

At this point, he was completely confused about how to proceed with his cultivation!
He naturally wanted to go further. He hoped to maintain his formidable strength while keeping his body in good health, and continuous training was essential.

However, the effects of regular exercise are no longer very noticeable.

In particular, once the level of hard qigong in the military reached 90%, the progress in training in other martial arts such as Sanda and Muay Thai was also rapid, reaching an astonishing 70% or more.

What is this concept?
If he were in Hong Kong, he would definitely be considered among the top masters!

But Wu Feng felt that this was not enough!
