The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 40: Boss Lei is too frustrated (please read)

"Fifty-five!"

Wu Feng said directly, "The novel of the same name, 'A Better Tomorrow', is being serialized in the 'Mong Kok News'. The profits from the published books and comic strips of the same name will be split 50-50 between Tsui Hark Studio and me!"

"It's estimated that publishing books and comic books will bring Tsui Hark Studio an additional revenue of around three million. It's a shame it didn't happen during the hit theaters of 'A Better Tomorrow,' otherwise the revenue would have been even higher!"

"Really that much?"

Mai Jia was a little skeptical: "If that were the case, all those novel writers would have made a fortune!"

"Haha, that's the truth!"

Wu Feng said unhappily, "If you don't believe me, you can take a look at Yulang International, which went public not long ago. They were able to go public directly based on a few best-selling comics, and the profits are huge!"

"'A Better Tomorrow 2' is about to start filming. Can we collaborate with them then?"

At this time, Xu Laoguai suddenly said: "Fa Zai will also be in the show. Can we recreate the previous craze and sell the peripherals to a huge success?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the bigwigs of New Art City present became excited, even Boss Lei was no exception.

“It depends on the quality of the movie!”

Wu Feng chuckled and said, "In fact, I have to ask my editors to help fill in the loopholes in the plot of the first part of "A Better Tomorrow", otherwise some of the logical errors are really unacceptable!"

"What logical loopholes could there be?"

John Woo was dissatisfied and said unhappily, "If that were the case, the audience would have raised it long ago. It wouldn't have been the box office champion last year!"

"That's because you filmed it well, and the actors' performances are wonderful. Plus, there are very few urban gunfight films in Hong Kong movies, so the audience is too curious and didn't think carefully enough!"

Wu Feng said bluntly, "Putting aside other things, how could Song Zihao, as the leader of the counterfeit money ring, not have any backup plan?"

"If it were me, I would at least have a few million US dollars in a Swiss bank deposit, and it's the bearer type!"

"This……"

John Woo was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say that the gang boss he imagined was like this, right?
"Also, Xiao Ma is Song Zihao's top man and the core backbone of the counterfeit money group. Doesn't he have any subordinates? At least he needs a team of gunmen, right?"

Wu Feng continued to find fault: "How could such a ruthless man holding a gun, who is also Song Zihao's close brother, not be eliminated immediately and wait for Brother Xiao Ma to lead his men to counterattack?"

John Woo paused, his mind racing, but he couldn't find a good explanation.

The Cinema City executives present at the scene looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

After Wu Feng said this, the plot of "A Better Tomorrow" does have a big logical loophole.

"Also, Xiao Ma is just like the Double Flower Red Stick gang, his network of connections must span Southeast Asia. His leg is just lame, not broken, and with his superb marksmanship, he could easily make a name for himself in Southeast Asia. It's unacceptable for him to be so subservient for three years just to get revenge!"

"These are all loopholes that need to be filled, otherwise the serialization of the novel will easily cause problems!"

Now, John Woo had nothing to say and even began to waver about the script for the second part.

"Haha, awesome!"

At this moment, Boss Lei suddenly burst into laughter, gave Wu Feng a thumbs-up, and praised him repeatedly, "Wu Sheng is really amazing. Let's try to cooperate with him first!"

"it is good!"

Wu Feng chuckled and said, "But I have another idea. I hope Lei Sheng can help me with it!"

"Oh, what's the matter that requires my personal help?"

Boss Lei was curious and waved his hand, saying, "If you have anything to ask, just ask. I will do it!" "Don't worry, the person I invited hasn't arrived yet!"

Wu Feng smiled slightly. This was a good opportunity to get a feel for the level of Hong Kong Island's microelectronics field.

At noon that day, he had a working lunch at the Golden Harvest Company, which included seafood and abalone.

Even the six younger brothers who came with us had a meal that was of the standard of a mid-range restaurant.

Wu Feng deliberately walked around the office areas of Cinema City and Golden Princess, and found that it was as he expected.

There is no staff cafeteria, everyone orders takeout!
Boss Lei did not accompany them, but Wong Jing served as their guide.

This guy is very talented, especially good at comedy, and has a natural talent for scriptwriting!

At this time, Cinema City had some serious internal problems!
There is no other reason, it’s just uneven distribution!

"Mr. Huang, do you have any ideas for "Happy Ghost" to have a cultural and entertainment collaboration?"

Back in the Cinema City General Manager's office, Wu Feng got straight to the point: "With the film foundation, I think the novels and comics will be very popular with teenagers!"

"This one……"

Wong Jing was quite tempted, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "The copyright of 'Happy Ghost' is in the hands of the company. Isn't the 'Best Partner' series more famous?"

"Let's not talk in secret among honest people!"

Wu Feng chuckled and said, "'Best Partner' has too many traces of imitating 007. If the novel and comics are published together, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future!"

Wong Jing was a little embarrassed, but he didn't continue the topic. He said directly: "I will talk to Mai Jia and the others. When the time comes, please ask Wusheng for help!"

"There's no need to be polite when it comes to mutually beneficial matters!"

Wu Feng chuckled and said, "But when the novels and comics enter Taiwan, Cinema City will still need to help. Only when the market is bigger can we make more money!"

Wong Jing nodded repeatedly to show that he understood. It was the right thing to do to discuss interests with a businessman like him.

Soon, it was time to go to work in the afternoon.

Boss Lei did not put on airs, but came early and still sat in the main seat in the office, smoking.

At this time, only Raymond Wong and Wu Feng were in the office. Mai Jia, Shi Tian, ​​and the others were not there, either because they really had something to do or because they didn't want to listen to Wu Feng's nonsense.

Not long after, the front desk called and said that someone from VTech was coming and had an appointment with Takeo.

"Let them come in, directly to the Cinema City General Manager's office!"

Boss Lei gave an order, then hung up the phone and looked at Wu Feng curiously: "Mr. Wu, what kind of company is VTech? How come I've never heard of it before?"

"A company that makes game consoles!"

Wu Feng said with a smile: "Wait a minute, Lei Sheng, you have to cooperate well. You are much more famous than me!"

"Haha, don't worry, Lei will definitely not let Wusheng down!"

After hearing what Wu Feng said, Boss Lei was in a very good mood, laughing heartily with his face flushed.

Wu Feng scolded him severely in the morning and he didn't get a good rest at noon. The thought of "Does the Lei family have 10 billion assets?" kept lingering in his mind, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Damn it, he has never felt so aggrieved even though he grew up in luxury!
