The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 27: Rich and Showing Off (Please Read)

"How did this happen?"

Guan Zaisen immediately became unhappy. He finally had such a project that could easily make a lot of money. How could he give it up so easily?

He made two million in just half a month, which is faster than robbing money.

"If the subsequent windbreakers don't sell, you'll be solely responsible!"

Wu Feng was not polite and said directly: "If you dare to guarantee it, then continue to mass produce!"

"This……"

Guan Zaisen didn't dare to make any promises. If the products really couldn't be sold, there would be a big mess.

"Brother Sen, you should know that the box office of 'A Better Tomorrow' has exceeded 25 million, which means that more than 1.2 million people have seen it!"

"One out of ten viewers bought a windbreaker. This ratio is quite astonishing!"

Wu Feng explained: "Of course, this doesn't mean that windbreakers have no market. On the contrary, they are still very popular!"

"With the quality of 'A Better Tomorrow', it will definitely be a hit in Taiwan, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. When that happens, we're sure to see even more windbreakers sold in those places!"

"But the question is, does Heliansheng have the strength to enter these markets and what market share can it capture?"

"If there were enough shares, not to mention millions, we could make tens of millions!"

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh, "Now I know why those fashion tycoons are so rich. They're worth billions or even tens of billions. Making fashion clothes is really profitable!"

"Not to mention, due to time constraints, I didn't have time to add sunglasses. Otherwise, I could have made even more money. That stuff is extremely profitable!"

These words made Guan Zaisen's heart surge with excitement and he yearned for it very much. He hurried to the Mong Kok gang to report to the boss Long Gen. In short, he had no time to continue to pester Wu Feng.

Wu Feng was naturally relieved. This time, with the help of the traffic from "A Better Tomorrow", he earned more than four million in one go.

This money, which was paid as taxes to the Hong Kong government in the name of small garment factories, is definitely legitimate money.

He didn't plan to get involved in what happened next. It just so happened that the manuscript written in the mainland was transferred to him through the Yindu Agency, and he now had some free time to take a good look at the quality.

There are only five novels, three martial arts novels and two folk stories, which are obviously screened.

After flipping through them, I found that the protagonists of the three martial arts novels are all famous figures in the "Biographies of Knights-Errant" category of "Records of the Grand Historian": Zhu Jia in the period of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Ju Meng in the period of Emperor Jing of Han, and Guo Jie in the period of Emperor Wu of Han!

Wu Feng smiled knowingly, it was pretty much what he had guessed!
Mainland writers are accustomed to serious literature, and even if they have martial arts novels as a learning template, it will be difficult for them to make a smooth transition in a short period of time.

In fact, instead of asking them to switch to writing martial arts novels, it would be better to let students from the literature department who have just entered university create them. The effect might be better.

Fortunately, Wu Feng provided them with a new writing idea in advance: to create based on the stories of famous knights in history, which could be regarded as a transition.

Obviously, this is the method used by relevant writers in the mainland.

He read carefully, the smile on his face growing wider and wider, and when he finished reading, he suddenly closed the manuscript.

The three martial arts novels based on the Youxia model are all excellently written.

In particular, the story is closely integrated with the history of the time, which is what mainland writers are good at. The writing in this aspect is very brilliant, and he was immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.

The writing style shows that these three martial arts novels were all written by the same author. When writing about the Zhu family during the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Han, the writing style is a bit awkward and unnatural, and the plot of chivalrous men fighting against evil and protecting the good is also quite awkward, obviously not familiar with this writing style.

By the time we got to Ju Meng, the situation was much better!

In particular, Ju Meng was arrogant and was able to influence part of the situation during the Rebellion of the Seven Kings during the reign of Emperor Jing of Han.

There is also a scene where the great general Zhou Yafu specially seeks out Ju Meng and praises his behavior. It is really cool, and after watching it, I have an impulse of "a real man should be like this".

As for the third book about Guo Jie, the writing style and flow are quite smooth. It is obvious that the author is quite familiar with this style of writing, and it reads quite smoothly and enjoyably.

In particular, Guo Jie was also a great man, and his reputation for chivalry was known throughout the Central Plains and Guanzhong.

When his mother passed away, powerful people in the Central Plains came to pay their respects, and the scene of thousands of chariots blocking the door was extremely sensational.

When Emperor Wu of Han moved all the powerful people in the world to Maoling, General Wei Qing even personally pleaded for Guo Jie, but Emperor Wu of Han did not agree. This shows how much face he had.

When Guo Jie arrived at Maoling, he instantly became a guest of honor in the homes of all the powerful and wealthy, and could be called the number one knight-errant in the world.

In the novel, these plots are simply translated into vernacular, and some plots and content are enriched. It can be said to be a very exciting and refreshing novel.

However, the author did not exaggerate or belittle the protagonist, but rather recorded the true situation in "Records of the Grand Historian"!
This is quite eye-catching. At least when promoting it, you can confidently say: This is historical fact!
It goes without saying that these three martial arts novels will become popular in the Hong Kong novel world after they are released!
There was no other reason, he was sure that the bad guys at the bottom of the society would love to watch it, and might even regard it as a golden rule!

To put it bluntly, a knight-errant is just a gangster in ancient times. To be able to reach the level of the protagonist in a novel is definitely a state that the low-level scoundrels dream of.

As for the other two folk novels, they were created according to the templates given by Wu Feng.

It's basically the same routine, that is, there is a certain legend in a certain place, which is either used to scare adults or children. Whenever there is a case of missing people in the local area, it is blamed on the legendary monsters and demons.

But after careful investigation by the police, it turned out to be a man-made tragedy!
One tells the story of hunters in Northeast China, and the other tells the story of wild men in the Qinling Mountains.

Combining thrillers and criminal detective stories, the plot is quite exciting and interesting. In the current Hong Kong novel world, it is definitely a top-notch work.

After spending an afternoon reading all five novels, Wu Feng was quite satisfied with their quality.

That night, he sat on the third floor of the sauna and called a few of his close associates to read five novels, hoping to verify what he was thinking.

The result was not unexpected. Several close brothers were all fascinated by the novel. They slapped their thighs from time to time and exclaimed that it was wonderful. Their expressions kept changing, and it was obvious that they were infected by the plot of the novel.

Although Hong Kong Island is considered a cultural desert, the culture of reading novels is quite strong.

Otherwise, Mr. Cha would not have been able to support a major newspaper by relying on his novels.

Look, my little brother is so engrossed in reading a novel that he doesn’t care what the current situation is!
By the time they finished reading all the novels, it was already dawn. They had been reading all night without realizing it, and still felt a little unsatisfied.

Well, based on the performance of a few close followers, Wu Feng knew that these five novels were a sure thing.

He replaced it with a few capable younger brothers and took a car directly to the Yindu Agency.

Chairman Liao personally received Wu Feng, and he didn't hesitate to speak politely. After they sat down, he said directly, "I want all five novels. The one about the Zhu family is still a little rough, so I'll take it at 80 per thousand words. The other two martial arts novels are both 150 per thousand words!"

"Those two folklore novels are both 1,000 words long. After all, they're just test runs. We still have to see how the market and readers react!"
