Chapter 45: Great Opportunity to Earn Money! (Please Read)

A fierce light flashed in Long Gen's eyes, and he said coldly: "Since Wu Feng is so difficult to deal with, then find a way to kill him!"

"Don't be impulsive, boss!"

Guan Zaisen was startled and hurriedly advised: "It's not that easy to get rid of Wu Feng!"

Facing the boss's unhappy gaze, he had no choice but to explain: "That guy is very cautious. Even when he's operating in his own territory, he always has four thugs with him!"

"Whenever he travels, he always has at least six thugs with him. Even if we send out knifemen, it's difficult to surround and kill him. We might even get killed!"

Guan Zaisen was still frightened by Wu Feng's strength.

Until now, whenever I wake up from a nightmare, I can clearly remember the sharp bayonet in the nightmare.

If the siege fails, the first one to suffer will be yourself.

Guan Zaisen didn't want to face such a dangerous situation, as it could lead to death.

Seeing the boss's increasingly hostile look, he hurriedly said, "Besides, Wu Feng is really good at making money!"

"We've already made a lot of money working with him, and who knows, we'll probably make even more in the future. There's no need to cut off our own financial resources. Since he's already strong enough, let's just focus on a win-win partnership!"

After hearing the explanation, Long Gen's expression finally relaxed and he nodded slightly in approval.

In fact, unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to break up with Wu Feng completely.

"Boss, there's one more thing we have to be on guard against!"

Guan Zai Sen breathed a sigh of relief, then continued, "The reason I hurried over to look for Wu Feng was because I heard a piece of news: Hong Xing Liang Kun went there!"

"Hongxing Liangkun?"

Long Gen's expression turned somewhat ugly, and he said unhappily, "Why did he go there?"

"Wu Feng said that Liang Kun wanted to start a film and television company to make money!"

Guan Zaisen said, "Whether it's true or not, Wu Feng has already hooked up with Liang Kun. If anything goes wrong here, he might even go looking for Liang Kun to cooperate with him!"

"Hmph, then tell Wu Feng that he and Lian Sheng will start moving soon!"

Long Gen was depressed and said unhappily, "Isn't it just selling videotapes all over Southeast Asia? He Liansheng still has such strength and channels. Tell him not to worry!"

Guan Zaisen nodded repeatedly, but secretly complained in his heart: Wouldn't everything be fine if he had done this earlier? Why did he have to go through so much trouble, and in the end he made me suffer!

The next day, Wu Feng received good news from Guan Zaisen.

My mood suddenly brightened, and a smile appeared on my face. But in my heart, I understood the pattern of dealing with other clubs more clearly: no matter what, I must not be a coward!
First, I went to the newspaper office, and the mainland sent me nearly ten novels, including biographies of knights and folk tales, and a rare and good soft science fiction novel.

Wu Feng didn't personally read through the articles this time, trusting the newspaper editor completely: "As long as the quality is up to standard, accept them all, and then serialize them one by one according to the planned schedule!"

With his previous experience in personally managing the business, he already had a rough process in place for the subsequent serialization of novels and the joint publishing of books and comics.

Moreover, the serialization of novels, the publication of subsequent books and comic books, and the release of movies are linked to the income of the editors. I don't believe they dare to do things half-heartedly.

Although Wu Feng never ran a business in his later life, he knew that it was not enough to just make big promises. He also needed to have corresponding salary and reward and punishment measures to maintain the enthusiasm of the company's employees and team.

In addition to delegating power, he also gave the newspaper manager Liu Wenxiang several short thriller horror stories.

In fact, it is the result of summarizing the experience of related film and television dramas in later generations: the mode of three companions camping in the wild can be extended to many different types of stories.

Distress in the wild, on a deserted island, in school, etc. can all be filled in. Wu Feng's idea is very simple, first try to link entertainment to see the effect, after all, pure horror movies still have some market in Hong Kong Island.

Always shooting folk suspense themes may easily cause movie fatigue among the audience.

There are many kinds of low-budget films, why not try them all?

There are also detective stories, romances, comedies, etc., which are first explored in the form of novel linkage, and then filmed and released as films. At least they already have a certain audience base.

After leaving the newspaper office, he immediately rushed to Yindu Organization and told Chairman Liao about his thoughts.

"We really should explore more film genres. I used to worry that Wusheng would just keep going down this same path!"

Chairman Liao chuckled and said, "It seems that Wusheng has an idea in mind. I feel relieved now!"

"No matter what, it's best to ensure that one film is released every month!"

Wu Feng said directly, "The cost doesn't need to be too high. As long as the filming isn't too bad, there will always be a certain audience if we promote it in conjunction with the novel. At least it's unlikely to lose money!"

Seeing the good atmosphere, he couldn't help but change the subject: "Actually, I came here this time to discuss with Mr. Liao about sending those two thriller and suspense films to participate in film festivals abroad!"

"Well, what do you think about participating in a foreign film festival, Takeo?"

Chairman Liao was surprised and asked subconsciously, "What kind of film festival is it? It's probably hard to win a prize, right?"

"On the contrary, I think the chances of winning are quite high!"

Wu Feng said confidently: "Of course not participating in the three major European film festivals, there is no need for that!"

"The reason for participating in foreign film festivals is naturally to sell the film's copyright and make money!"

A Hong Kong entertainment novel he read in his previous life had an introduction to this aspect, otherwise Wu Feng really didn't know the ins and outs of it, and he didn't even know the names of those foreign film festivals.

"So, which foreign film festival do you want to participate in?"

Chairman Liao was obviously still in shock, with a very subtle expression on his face, but he tried to ask in a normal tone.

“I participated in two foreign film festivals in total!”

Wu Feng said without hesitation: "One is the Brussels Fantastic Film Festival in Belgium, and the other is the Sundance Film Festival in the United States!"

“They have one thing in common: they were founded only a few years ago!”

At this point, Wu Feng suddenly became excited and said, "Because the two film festivals were just established not long ago, they need external affirmation and recognition!"

"As long as our film is good, even if we don't win a big prize, at least a small one is a sure thing!"

"For the two film festivals, since we are sending a foreign film, they should pay more attention to it!"

Seeing that Chairman Liao was listening with great interest, he became more enthusiastic in his speech. "Don't think that foreigners don't like to be greedy and vain. In fact, they are more direct than us Chinese!"

"After all, film festivals are also a business in foreign countries. Only when their influence is expanded and even recognized by foreign counterparts can this business reap greater profits!"

"Not only that, the relationship between mainland China and the United States is very close right now. The Sundance Film Festival organizing committee will more or less take this into consideration, so the chances of winning an award in the United States are much higher!"

"As long as the film wins an award, there will definitely be film distributors who will come to buy it. And the films we sell are horror and suspense films from the East, so foreigners will probably be very curious to watch them!"

"Even the magnificent natural scenery of Northeast China and the Qinling Mountains is beautiful enough for Chinese people to appreciate the price of admission!"
