The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 453 Stirring Up Trouble!

"Siam is so useless! They can't even handle a small, powerful family that sells pills!"

"Didn't the movie make it very clear that they and certain forces in Siam are essentially on the same side? How do we resolve this?"

"That's just a movie plot; the reality is definitely not like that!"

"Hehe, you're too naive. The truth is probably even worse. Who knows, that local tyrant might actually be someone secretly cultivated by certain forces in Siam. Selling pills is so profitable!"

"If that were the case, Siam would definitely not allow foreign police officers or Interpol agents to enter the country. Wouldn't that be a slap in their own face?"

"Unless Siam completely loses all sense of shame, we still need to consider our reputation. Besides, even with just a dozen or so people in our company, we have several groups of people, not to mention that Siam is a country!"

"That's true. There are similar scenes in movies. Those who dare to do such things are usually local tyrants who live far from the emperor's reach, and they may not necessarily be on the same side as the Siamese court!"

"Hmph, Siam is no good place at all. At least half of the pills circulating in Hong Kong come from Siam!"

"..."

As related films and television dramas continue to be broadcast, such discussions have gradually increased. In the past, who would have cared about the foreign countries depicted in films and television dramas, or what their situation was like?
Given Hong Kong's reputation as the Hollywood of the East at that time, any film or television series with a certain level of fame could be sold to other regions for broadcast.

Not to mention, under Wu Feng's supervision, at least the films and television dramas produced by his companies and television stations are of very good quality.

When it was shown in Southeast Asia and other East Asian countries, it naturally sparked considerable discussion.

In short, the evaluation of Siam is quite unfriendly!

The Siamese court was aware of this, but likely due to past experience, they thought these were just normal TV dramas and didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, even Siamese audiences didn't react much to these films and TV dramas, thinking they were quite well made.

Malaysia, which is still exchanging barbs with Siam, has ended up taking the blame.

For no other reason than the fact that the film produced by Wu Feng's film studio in a short period of time received a very good response and had a huge impact when it was screened in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

Ironically, the content of the film is almost identical to a certain speculation by Malaysia regarding its accusations against Siam.

Clearly, in the eyes of the Siamese court, the Hong Kong film companies were merely riding the wave of popularity and could not be considered the culprits.

Upon hearing the rumors, Wu Feng was speechless.

A complete noob. His intelligence gathering and analysis skills are just awful. And he even calls himself a tough guy from the Indochina Peninsula?
However, this also reminded him that he could use some of the speculations that Malaysia had made about Siam as a basis to produce related films and television dramas.

They're all no good; they have no qualms about scamming people!

The tendency to follow trends in Hong Kong's film and television industry came in handy at this time.

TVB and other reputable film companies, upon seeing signs of a certain type of film becoming a hit, immediately followed suit without hesitation.

Wu Feng's film company and ATV have set a benchmark; all they need to do is follow and imitate them—it's too easy.

These seasoned veterans in the film and television industry don't have the rhythmic control of Wu Feng in controlling the filming pace; instead, they do whatever is bold and attention-grabbing.

They also used certain reports from Malaysia as core elements, and in a short period of time produced a very exciting film and television drama.

The content of these films and television dramas almost completely vilifies Siam.

Even Siamese audiences felt that some of the films and TV shows were a bit too... suggestive. However, at that time, Hong Kong films were quite dominant in East and Southeast Asia.

Without the Siamese court taking the initiative to speak out, even if the Siamese audience felt dissatisfied, they had no way to convey their thoughts abroad.

Viewers in East Asian countries and other Southeast Asian countries, when watching these films and television dramas, besides marveling at the exciting plots, also develop a negative impression of Siam.

At this point, the promotional effect of the film, especially the promotional ability of commercial films, is quite remarkable.

Even now, the Siamese court has not noticed anything amiss.

Wu Feng chuckled lightly. Since the Siamese court was so slow to react, then he shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.

The upcoming film and television offensive will give Siam a real headache.

If Siam isn't portrayed as a complete scumbag, it means its performance is inadequate and it has untapped potential.

Meanwhile, the members of the circle centered around Wu Feng have recently been in high spirits and beaming with joy, clearly indicating that something good is about to happen.

Good things have indeed happened to them!
Since Wu Feng led them out of the Xiao Rizi stock market, they haven't had any 'group activities' for a long time.

Although Wu Feng had reminded them that there were still plenty of opportunities to make money in Xiao Rizi, it all depended on their own abilities.

After making a good profit by shorting the stock market and the foreign exchange market, they obediently withdrew their money.

It's not that they lack the courage to continue investing heavily; rather, without Wu Feng leading the way, they feel uncertain and dare not invest large sums of money.

But this time, Wu Feng gathered them together again.

The location is in a new residential area in Sai Kung, not the Peninsula Hotel or Four Seasons Hotel that we are used to.

In terms of privacy, how could any famous five-star hotel on Hong Kong Island compare to Wu Feng's real lair?

For a time, luxury cars were common in the new residential areas of Sai Kung.

Not to mention anything else, the eyes of all the top tycoons on Hong Kong Island, whether Chinese or foreign, are focused on this place.

Wu Feng's track record in the financial securities market speaks for itself; even if you don't like him personally, you have to admit his exceptional abilities.

Once he makes a move, it never misses.

This time was no exception. Although he hadn't anticipated the power of the media storm, he and his allies had made preparations in the Malaysian and Siamese stock markets well in advance.

Although the media storm was too intense, the financial markets of both countries were indeed stimulated, and the stock indices fell sharply in a short period of time.

Wu Feng knew when to quit while he was ahead, and led his allies on a small trial, easily earning billions of Hong Kong dollars.

The news could not be kept secret, and it aroused envy among the Hong Kong tycoons who were watching their actions.

Despite their considerable wealth, making big money so easily is not an easy thing for them.

In particular, the audacity of stirring up trouble in overseas financial markets as a major player is unmatched by ordinary Hong Kong tycoons.

When they learned that the operations targeting the Siamese and Malaysian stock markets were just an appetizer, and that the main course was yet to come, they all became restless.
