The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 39: If your assets don’t exceed billion, don’t act pretentiously! (Please read on)
Just like the first part, the novel, comic strip and published book are linked together.

By the way, continue the war of words with right-wing newspapers and turn up the heat.

When the movie was released, there were naturally a lot of viewers who came to see it, even more than the first one.

It’s normal, Shuangnan Cinema Chain is not a mainstream cinema chain!
Some young audiences don’t even know that such a cinema chain exists.

By the time "Legend of the Qinling Cat Demon" is released, the situation will naturally be very different.

As for the fight with right-wing newspapers, it was naturally because of Actor Leung, who was the protagonist again this time.

The filming of this movie was completed with the help of mainland actresses, supporting actors and some behind-the-scenes staff.

In the increasingly hot Hong Kong film industry, such things are naturally nothing.

But for the right wing, this is a big deal. Doesn't it prove that their suppression measures are ineffective?

What would happen if all Hong Kong film colleagues followed suit?
Little did they know that the right-wing newspapers' angry curses actually helped a lot. "Mong Kok News" immediately followed up and rapidly expanded the popularity of the movie.

The success of the first part was a coincidence, but the second part is about to be successful, which means it takes real skill.

What makes his colleagues in the film industry most jealous is that the cultural and entertainment linkage created by Wu Feng is so profitable.

Look, Cinema City, which has been taking a wait-and-see attitude, has sent an invitation.

In fact, the one who wanted to meet Wu Feng was not the bald Mai Jia, the boss of Cinema City, but Lei, the boss of Golden Princess Cinemas.

Wu Feng was also very curious about what Boss Lei wanted to do.

So, he brought six of his younger brothers and came here in a van.

The receptionist was shocked to see Wu Feng and his group looking so fierce and ferocious, until Wu Feng took out the invitation.

He was like a street-cleaning tiger wherever he went. Employees from the Golden Princess Cinemas and Cinema City avoided him one by one, and there was not a single outsider in the elevator.

Wong Jing went out to greet them on behalf of Cinema City, and was surprised to see the posture of Wu Feng and his group.

As they shook hands, he said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "Wusheng, we invited you here to discuss business, not to negotiate numbers!"

"Haha, Mr. Huang, don't be offended!"

Wu Feng waved his hand to signal his younger brother to stay outside, and then he went into the office with Wong Jing. At the same time, he did not forget to explain: "My 'Mong Kok News' has offended many people. I'm afraid some people are used to gang behavior, so I have to be careful!"

Wong Jing was stunned when he heard this and didn't know what to say.

It is an open secret that Hong Kong's top social groups have close ties with the island.

In the office, Michael Hui and Shek Tin were all there, as well as Tsui Hark and John Woo.

Sitting on the main seat, Boss Lei was smoking a cigar, looking like a tycoon.

"Wusheng, you are really young!"

Boss Lei didn't stand up. He looked at Wu Feng with a smile on his face and said kindly, "Do you have any idea of ​​joining the New Princess? I can invest in Wu Sheng's film company and affiliate it under the Golden Princess Cinema Line!"

As he spoke, he took out the cigar box on the table and asked Wu Feng if he wanted one.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the bigwigs from Cinema City present changed, except for Tsui Hark and John Woo who looked calm.

Wu Feng waved his hand to indicate that he didn't smoke, then spoke slowly, "Boss Lei, have you and the Lei family behind you had a total asset of over a billion?"

This was a bit irrelevant, but it made Boss Lei a little unhappy. He frowned and asked, "Why, Wusheng, do you think that the Lei family doesn't have 1 billion in assets and can't afford a talent like you?"

After saying this, a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth. The look he gave Wu Feng became quite unfriendly.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly grew tense, but the three Cinema City bosses secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Tsui Hark and John Woo, on the other hand, looked surprised. Wu Feng shrugged, chuckling, "Boss Lei, do you know how many copies of 'A Better Tomorrow' have sold in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan?"

Without waiting for Boss Lei to speak, he said directly: "At least 50 million Hong Kong dollars!"

boom!
These words were like thunder, shocking everyone present.

Even Boss Lei sat up straight, and the cigar in his hand no longer smelled fragrant.

"Don't think I'm bragging!"

Wu Feng chuckled and said, "When 'A Better Tomorrow' was a hit in Hong Kong Island, I had my younger brother set up a stall next to the Golden Princess Cinema and sold thousands of windbreakers in a single day!"

"After He Liansheng got involved, my small garment factory produced over 100,000 windbreakers, and they were all sold out. The profit was nearly 10 million!"

"I'm not the only one selling windbreakers. The combined profit for the entire Hong Kong Island should be around 20 million!"

"Hong Kong Island has such a small population, but it can generate such huge profits. If you add up Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, and all over Southeast Asia, the profits will be enormous!"

These words made Boss Lei's face turn pale, and the expressions of several other bosses at Cinema City were not much better.

Even Tsui Hark and John Woo were shocked!
"Unfortunately, I don't have any channels in Southeast Asia and Taiwan. Otherwise, how could He Liansheng and his gang have made all the money?"

Wu Feng continued, "Fifty million is just a conservative figure. This time, with the windbreaker and sunglasses combination, I'm afraid the profit will be even higher and I'll make more money!"

Now not only did Boss Lei's face turn pale, his entire mentality was broken.

He should have earned the lion's share of the money from movie-related merchandise, but ended up getting nothing.

"Wusheng, are you making fun of Lei?"

Boss Lei spoke in a very impolite tone, and said unhappily: "If that's the case, you are not welcome here!"

The atmosphere in the office instantly dropped to freezing point, and the rest of the people didn't even dare to breathe.

Wu Feng, however, was calm and composed, with no intention of moving at all.

Since Boss Lei took the initiative to invite him, how could he leave without getting any benefits?
"Lei Sheng, I just want to tell you!"

Seeing that Boss Lei had no intention of actually calling security, Wu Feng immediately understood what was going on and said bluntly, "I can help you make a lot of money outside of the movie revenue. It's a win-win situation!"

"Don't try to use your wealth and power to pressure others. Besides, I don't think Boss Lei can actually mobilize that much money. Our best option is to cooperate as equals!"

"Shameless talk!"

At this time, it was the turn of the lackey to take the stage. As expected, Mai Jia said disdainfully: "What Wusheng did, Xinyicheng can also easily do!"

"Does Xinyicheng have a newspaper with a circulation of 90,000?"

Wu Feng sneered, "And the cheapest way to publish books and comics?"

“Cinema City can cooperate with other major newspapers!!”

Mai Jia was not to be outdone and patted his bald head and said, "As long as you have money, you can do anything!"

“But what about the profits?”

Wu Feng spread his hands and said calmly, "With this operation, the newspapers, publishing houses, and comic companies will surely make the lion's share. Why bother putting in all this effort and thought?"

"Could it be that Wusheng can offer greater benefits?"
