The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 430 It Was Inevitable! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

At this moment, Yanfang's home was filled with celebrities.

Seeing her put down the phone, Dehua, who was closest to her, asked, "So, what did Xia say?"

"She'll be here soon!"

Yanfang's face showed a confident expression, and she said loudly, "Don't worry, when something like this happens, Xia, who is also an actress, can't possibly not take it seriously!"

The actress, who had been sitting on the sofa being comforted by her friend Tony Leung, looked somewhat gloomy upon hearing this.

"This matter absolutely cannot be let go lightly!"

"Indeed, those gang members went too far. If we don't take a stand, we'll only have more trouble in the future!"

"We must show the Hong Kong government and all Hong Kong people our determination!"

"Putting everything else aside, this kind of thing absolutely cannot happen again, otherwise how can we film with peace of mind in the future?"

"..."

Yanfang has a big sister's demeanor and a strong sense of江湖 (jianghu, the world of martial arts and chivalry) spirit.

This incident resonated deeply with her, or rather, she felt a sense of shared sorrow, which is why she was so angry and went to great lengths to coordinate and make connections.

Perhaps it's because she has a lot of influence, or perhaps it's because she's very resourceful, but she really managed to cause quite a stir.

I don't know who came up with the idea, but this person was determined to get a bunch of Hong Kong celebrities to march and shout slogans in the streets.

Even well-known celebrities, including Cheng Shilong and Andy Lau, were persuaded by her to join the effort.

In normal time and space, they did indeed cause a major international news event, giving the Hong Kong British government a resounding slap in the face.

Unfortunately, the final result proved it was completely useless!

Perhaps this success made Yanfang arrogant.

Later, he frequently made inappropriate remarks in newspapers and on television programs.

Even at a time when the mainland is so lenient towards Hong Kong people, this person is still prohibited from entering the mainland.

The situation is different now!

Fengrui Films is the leading force in the Hong Kong film industry. Without the participation of Fengrui Films' established stars, their actions would seem somewhat insignificant.

Sure enough, Wen Bixia arrived an hour later, accompanied by an uninvited guest—Li Xin, the head of the Hung Hing Sai Kung branch!
"Li Sheng, what brings you here too?"

Cheng Shilong, who had arrived a step ahead, was quite surprised to see Li Xin. He quickly got up and led his entourage to greet him, his attitude being extremely polite.

You can't be polite, though. Fa Yuen Street, under Li Xin's control, is the most famous arcade game promotion platform on Hong Kong Island.

There are various arcade game competitions every day there, attracting many arcade game fans from Hong Kong Island, and even from overseas, to come and visit. It has a great effect on promoting various high-quality arcade games.

In fact, some arcade game buyers from Southeast Asian countries are even eyeing the most popular arcade games in Garden Street.

In response, Garden Street followed the trend and created corresponding game magazines and various game rankings, which became quite popular.

With Wu Feng's guidance and Li Xin's strict oversight, the rankings were at least recognized by gamers in the short term, and credibility was gradually built up in this way.

Those are all gleaming Hong Kong dollars, and the purchase amounts are at least in the millions of Hong Kong dollars.

Recently, Li Xin's game promotion company has been collaborating with Jiahe Company and Cheng Shilong's Weihe Company to promote the newly launched Cheng Shilong Universe arcade fighting game.

There are three main characters, all of whom are roles played by Cheng Shilong: Wong Fei-hung in "Drunken Master", Jian Fu in "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow", and He Yunlong in "Young Master Dragon".

You can choose any character and defeat eight opponents to clear the game. In fact, this is just the beginning.

According to later accounts, it was just the first version of the game mode.

If the game is well-received by the market and performs well, there will be second and third versions.

Anyway, Cheng Shilong has starred in far too many action movies.

In the end, there could even be a massive free-for-all between the various realms and the dragons!
For Cheng Shilong, this was a gold mine that he could live off for many years to come.

Both Golden Harvest and Weihe attach great importance to this game development.

The key is still promotion!

Li Xin's game promotion company is already considered a leader in the industry.

Even within the entire Asian arcade game industry, it is considered a renowned company with outstanding promotional capabilities.

Faced with such a resourceful partner, Cheng Shilong had to be polite, even out of respect for Taurus.

Besides, although Li Xin is a big boss in the gang, his reputation and public image are quite good.

At least, I haven't heard any unsavory rumors about him.

If you remove the labels of gang leader and boss, he is actually a very reliable and trustworthy businessman.

"Didn't something happen in the entertainment industry?"

Li Xin chuckled and said, "I heard from Sister Xia that I was coming to a gathering of friends in the industry, and I was worried that something might go wrong, so I came along!"

His meaning was clear, which made the celebrities present, especially Yanfang, the organizer of the gathering, quite unhappy, but they didn't say much.

What a joke!
How could Wen Bixia attend such a celebrity gathering without reporting to her company in advance?

If there's something you can't refuse, the company's agent will step in and refuse, so everyone can still maintain their dignity.

If we were to confront each other directly, we might not even be able to remain friends in the future.

Unexpectedly, Li Xin personally stepped forward.

"Sister Xia doesn't need to put in too much effort, she just needs to focus on filming!"

On the way there, Li Xin said frankly, "The company will step in to keep the outside noise out, so Sister Xia doesn't need to take it too seriously!"

Wen Bixia was finally relieved and didn't even bother to ask what the company's attitude was towards the intense reaction from people in the industry.

In fact, the unexpected arrival of Li Xin, this uninvited guest, made the group of celebrities, including Yanfang, somewhat reserved and unable to relax.

Although this person does not work at Fengrui Film and Television, their influence and voice are not to be underestimated in the industry.

In particular, he was also an absolute confidant of Wu Sheng, the big boss of Fengrui Film and Television, and was the kind of person who could represent Wu Sheng to convey information to the outside world at certain times.

"Mr. Li, what are your thoughts on what happened this time?"

Despite feeling uncomfortable, necessary communication is still essential.

As the hostess, Yanfang, who also felt she had the air of a big sister, waited until Cheng Shilong and Li Xin finished their pleasantries before bracing herself to ask the question.

"Wealth can move people's hearts; it was bound to happen sooner or later!"

Li Xin sat upright on the sofa, exuding a strong, imposing aura. He spoke calmly, "It's relatively polite that people from the gang film company are involved. If it were real robbers or gangsters, the situation would be very different!"
