The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 259 Daily life
Wu Feng is no longer interested in dealing with the situation in Australia.

Since the other party hasn't made any response, let's just keep waiting.

Similarly, he wasn't very welcoming when Miss He took the initiative to come to his door.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that he and Miss He had reached some kind of tacit agreement in private.

"I'm managing a real estate company!"

Miss He chuckled and said, "I just don't know if there's any possibility of us cooperating?"

"Oh, a real estate company!"

Wu Feng chuckled and said leisurely, "I'm not involved in this kind of business and I'm not very clear about the ins and outs, but I can introduce Miss He to some people in the industry!"

"Is it a construction company or a decoration company under Hung Hing Group?"

Miss He was somewhat disappointed, but still asked curiously, "Martial Arts Master, there's no need to doubt me; I'm quite sincere!"

"I have no doubt about your sincerity, Miss He!"

Wu Feng chuckled and said, "But doing this probably won't be very useful!"

If her father doesn't express his opinion, no matter how much she does, it will all be in vain.

"We should at least give it a try; what if it works?"

Miss He's heart skipped a beat, but she lowered her eyes and spoke firmly.

"Alright, it's just a matter of saying hello!"

Wu Feng relented and said leisurely, "Just follow the normal business procedures!"

After making a few more phone calls, within an hour, several gang leaders whom Wu Feng had hardly ever met rushed over.

To be honest, if they hadn't introduced themselves, Wu Feng would have thought they were just top-tier contractors; they had such a convincing aura.

At this time, Ms. He also called over some of her real estate company staff, and they immediately completed the cooperation agreement for construction and decoration.

When he finished his work and saw Miss He leave with a relieved look on her face, he couldn't help but find it amusing.

This news quickly spread among the top executives of Hung Hing.

When Jiang Tiansheng called to inquire about the situation, Wu Feng simply replied, "Miss He is trying to ease the tension between us and her father; it's just a small attempt!"

"Hey, I wonder what's causing this stalemate on their end?"

Jiang Tiansheng was speechless and said with a wry smile, "Never mind him, anyway, the gang members got the benefits!"

"Oh, by the way, Liang Kun and Han Bin will be back in a few days!"

Changing the subject, he suggested over the phone, "Shall we have a little meeting then?"

"Fine!"

Wu Feng asked curiously, "Is there any trouble on their side?"

"The specifics are unclear, but it seems the situation has stabilized!"

Jiang Tiansheng smiled and said, "Next, it's time to focus on running the business!"

"It might not be that easy!"

Wu Feng dismissed it, saying, "Do you really think that the wealthy people from the country where the ship is located are so easy to invite?"

"I reckon there will be more trouble with the local bullies he's partnered with in the future!"

"It's already quite impressive that we were able to set up the platform under that person's threat!"

Jiang Tiansheng said cheerfully, "As for the trouble that follows, we can deal with that later!"

"Too!"

Wu Feng chimed in, "In any case, Jiang Sheng and you guys have really made a killing this time!"

"Unfortunately, many hall masters have complained to me that this incident has caused them considerable losses!"

Jiang Tiansheng said with a wry smile on the phone, "I guess they're just jealous of us because they saw that we managed to get the boat deal sorted out, and they want to take advantage of us!"

"This is simple!"

Wu Feng casually said, "Isn't it almost Chinese New Year? Let's organize a big event so that the hall masters, and even the lower-level Si Jiu, can benefit from it. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

As soon as he said it, he realized he had made a mistake.

It's still 1988, not 2024.

The promotional tactics that are so familiar to later generations are still unheard of today.

It's not that it's impossible, but it severely tests the team's comprehensive abilities in organizing large-scale events.

In the future, many things that can be easily done through the internet and smartphones will now require real human intervention.

This is no joke!
There are just too many things to consider in all aspects; it could definitely make a leader lose a lot of hair.

"Oh, Ah Feng, what are your thoughts? Tell me about them."

Sure enough, Jiang Tiansheng suddenly realized what was happening, and his tone on the microphone changed.

"It was just a casual remark, Mr. Jiang, don't take it to heart!"

Wu Feng chuckled, trying to brush it off; he didn't want to cause trouble for himself. "Oh, is that so?"

Jiang Tiansheng certainly didn't believe it, but he couldn't say much over the phone, so he had no choice but to hang up.

Wu Feng didn't pay much attention. After finishing his work, he took a seven-seater van to ATV to hear about the station's plans before the Spring Festival.

On Hong Kong Island, people still attach great importance to the traditional Lunar New Year.

Of course, the foreigners in the Hong Kong British government were incompetent and did not recognize the traditional Chinese New Year.

Similarly, there are no statutory holidays for celebrating the Lunar New Year on Hong Kong Island!
It's really ironic. When the foreigners were around, the traditional festival customs on Hong Kong Island were preserved quite well, and even the foreigners were influenced by them.

However, once the Chinese took charge and became the masters of the country, the local young people gradually began to celebrate Western holidays more often.

Leaving aside other companies, for places like television stations, the viewership ratings during the Spring Festival are extremely crucial and important.

Things like high-quality TV dramas and various galas are things we'll compete for.

At this point, ATV could be said to have completely straightened its back.

At least when facing their old rival Wireless again, they won't be easily suppressed.

After hosting three editions of the "Unrestricted Fighting Tournament" and one edition of the "Beauty Pageant," the television station could be said to have achieved both fame and fortune, and at this point, it had a considerable amount of cash on hand.

Wu Feng did not rush to divert funds from the TV station, allowing the station to have sufficient funds to purchase the latest broadcasting equipment. Instead, he increased investment in TV dramas, variety shows, and other related programs.

That's how TV stations are; money gives them confidence, and ATV was thriving.

Otherwise, Wu Feng's propaganda offensive against that person in Australia wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Of course, in order to avoid being watched by the relevant authorities of the Hong Kong British government, the media offensive launched by ATV this time was all based on factual reports, and there were not many shady operations that would make it easy for those with ulterior motives to see through the scheme.

In this media offensive, television news broadcasts are naturally crucial!

However, the most crucial factor was the rapid follow-up by numerous top-tier newspapers in Hong Kong; otherwise, such a massive wave of public opinion and public opinion would not have been formed.

Here, we must mention the Oriental Daily News, which played a significant role.

Although the Oriental Daily News disapproved of the Ma brothers' past actions, it had never provoked Wu Feng, and Wu Feng naturally wouldn't deliberately target them for no reason.

Back then, the newspapers under Wu Feng's control had secretly joined forces with the Oriental Daily News, and the results were quite good.

This time, Wu Feng took the initiative to come to them, and the Ma brothers didn't dare to refuse!

With Oriental Daily News following suit and Mong Kok News adding fuel to the fire, other top-tier newspapers on Hong Kong Island dared not pretend they hadn't seen it, which created a wave of public opinion.

"Martial arts actor, the TV dramas that the station has been producing recently are getting pretty good ratings!"

In the chairman's office, program director Li Zhuanglie was reporting on the results: "The battle for ratings with TVB has been ongoing, and sometimes TVB's ratings can even surpass TVB's!"

"In other words, TVB has always had an advantage in overall viewership during prime time!"

Wu Feng chuckled and said, "It seems the pressure on the TV drama production department isn't great enough!"

Although it was said in a joking tone, it also carried a hint of accountability.

Just kidding. Ever since ATV no longer lacked funds for TV drama production, it has invested a lot of money in producing TV dramas adapted from novels that have a certain number of readers and are quite famous.

This is all real money invested!

On the TVB side, Uncle Siu is known for being stingy with his employees.

Their television drama production budget was negligible compared to that of ATV at the time.

Even so, after the two TV stations had been locked in a battle for more than half a year, TVB still held a considerable advantage.

Wu Feng felt as if his money had been wasted!
Of course, he knew things couldn't be calculated that way; Wireless's brand advantage was simply too great.

As someone from a later era, he naturally understood that viewers have viewing habits that are not easy to change, but necessary reminders were still needed.

"The martial arts student is right!"

Li Zhuanglie didn't say much, but fortunately Wu Feng didn't press the matter.

However, he had already made up his mind that after Wu Feng left, he would increase the workload of the TV series production department, otherwise people would really think that the chairman had no temper.

In short, according to Li Zhuanglie's report, ATV's situation is excellent!
Overall, Wu Feng was quite satisfied, at least he didn't have to keep spending money to keep the TV station running.

In fact, he will be of great use to ATV next year.

To reiterate, ATV was a pretty good platform for him to promote public opinion, and he didn't really care whether the TV station could make a profit.

But he can't show it like that!

Otherwise, who knows how those old hands at the TV station would comfortably make money in all sorts of ways?

Wu Feng was not a complete novice when it came to the entertainment industry of later generations.

He knew that once the crew decided to go ahead with it, even the big investors wouldn't be able to stop them, unless they withdrew their investment or simply disbanded the crew.

Anyway, if the crew wants to make something happen, they can always find a way to get the money.

"By the way, how did those film and television industry colleagues from the mainland perform?"

After discussing the TV station's plans for the coming period, Wu Feng suddenly thought of the cooperation with several major film studios in mainland China and asked about it subconsciously.
