The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 57: Luck is unstoppable (Please collect and read)

"A Better Tomorrow" is definitely a good movie, but the setting inside does not conform to the cognition of European and American audiences.

In the eyes of European and American audiences, counterfeit money gangs are a more powerful force than neighborhood gangs, and at the very least, they definitely use guns.

In addition, the spokesperson for the counterfeit money group is definitely a dark boss at the godfather level.

At least he is surrounded by bodyguards, and they are all the most elite bodyguards. Is he rich?

It's just that the big money sponsor behind the scenes wants to stir up trouble. He wants to take down the spokesperson without causing bloodshed. No one with a hole in their brain would think that.

As for things like loyalty and brotherhood, they are not worth mentioning in the face of huge interests.

Anyway, except for Chinese and Asian people, Wu Feng doesn’t think that European and American audiences can understand the plot of "A Better Tomorrow". It is too subversive.

The plot of "Hard Boiled" is easier to understand. It is a story about a killer with a conscience who becomes kind-hearted after accidentally hurting an innocent person. I guess European and American audiences will like it.

Boss Lei was obviously disappointed, so Wu Feng naturally did not offer any comfort.

How to operate the Golden Princess Cinemas and how to maximize the profits of the film companies in which he holds shares are his responsibilities as the boss and have nothing to do with Wu Feng.

If it weren't for the good news from VTech not long ago, he wouldn't have come here so easily this time.

The arcade board based on the story of "A Better Tomorrow" was about 50% complete. This was the main reason why he came immediately after Boss Lei invited him.

He wants the rights to change the sequel to "A Better Tomorrow", so maintaining a good relationship is important at the moment.

In fact, Wu Feng doesn't have high expectations for the current arcade motherboard technology.

He would be thankful if the graphics were of the Mario Bros. quality.

At that time, arcade machines really could not be compared with home game consoles.

It’s mainly because home consoles have far more games to choose from than arcade machines.

As long as we can create a horizontal shooting game, it will definitely be a hit in the arcade market!
Do you really think that he revealed so many inside stories about European and American film festivals for free?
That's not how you joke, he wants Boss Lei to fulfill his favor!

When "The Wrong Car" and "Why Me" really win at European and American film festivals and the copyrights are actually sold, Boss Lei will have no choice but to acknowledge this favor!

In fact, there is still a lot that can be fleeced from Cinema City, but he cannot show it too much at this time.

It is not clear whether Cinema City will fall apart soon as it did before.

Even Boss Lei passed away suddenly due to a heart attack, and the Golden Princess Cinemas chain will fall apart!

It’s still a little early to think about these things now, but I already have some plans in mind.

After a hearty lunch, Wu Feng immediately took a car to Yindu Organization.

The Yindu Institution is filled with festive Spring Festival decorations, and all the staff members coming and going look happy and in good spirits. It is obvious that the sudden boom after the New Year has boosted their morale a lot.

The second folk series film "Legend of Qinling Cat Demon", for which Wu Feng provided the script, has been off the shelves for some time. The Shuangnan Cinema Line is now showing a low-cost Hong Kong-style comedy.

As far as he knew, this low-budget Hong Kong comedy had average performance, but it was very appropriate during the Spring Festival. The key point was that it was produced by an outside film and television company.

For Yindu Institution, this is definitely a huge success.

You have to know that in the past, the Shuangnan Cinema Line was not considered mainstream, and was even subtly excluded by the Hong Kong film industry. No film and television company would take the initiative to bring their films here for release.

Sure enough, when he met Chairman Liao, the old man's complexion was quite rosy and plump, with a look of joy between his brows, and he was obviously in a very good mood.

"It's almost Chinese New Year. What's the urgent matter that brought Wusheng here so quickly?" The two of them were already quite familiar with each other. Chairman Liao didn't waste any words and asked directly, "Is it about selling movies in the United States? Don't worry, everything is safe!"

"It's about the American side, not the issue of selling the film!"

Wu Feng felt a little embarrassed, so he directly explained to him how his trusted younger brother Li Xin took the opportunity to go to Chinatown and purchase waste paper.

This time he came here to ask Chairman Liao for help and to contact COSCO Shipping in the name of Yindu Organization to see if there were any ships heading to the United States?

At present, the trade between the mainland and the United States is an absolute deficit.

COSCO Shipping's ships transport raw materials, but often return empty.

There is no other reason, just that we don’t have enough US dollars to buy industrial and mechanical products from the United States.

The American people don't care about social etiquette when dealing with mainlanders; all transactions are done with real money.

"This is a good thing!"

Chairman Liao was only momentarily surprised, then he smiled and said, "The mainland is short of almost everything right now, and naturally, the raw materials for making A4 paper are also in short supply!"

"If you can buy a large amount of cheap waste paper from the United States, it will be a great help to domestic paper mills. This matter will be very easy to handle!"

Although he is not young anymore, he is not old-fashioned at all and has a very active mind.

I just didn't expect that when luck comes, it can't be stopped.

Chairman Liao made a few phone calls and quickly contacted COSCO Shipping and explained the situation.

A ship from COSCO Shipping Corporation just happened to arrive in the United States. They asked Wu Feng's men to contact them immediately and have the waste paper delivered directly back.

Knowing that Wu Feng was a newspaper tycoon in Hong Kong and had a deep cooperative alliance with the Silver City Organization, COSCO Shipping only asked for an extremely low freight rate, and Wu Feng still reaped a huge profit.

As described in the simulator novel, the profit from a shipload of waste paper reached almost two million.

In this era, the mainland's attitude towards Hong Kong businessmen is really beyond reproach.

COSCO Shipping itself has a high administrative level. In the future, it would be a large state-owned enterprise with a high threshold.

Wu Feng naturally expressed his gratitude repeatedly and said that he would go to Guangzhou in person after the New Year.

It is not just about accepting waste paper, but also about contacting mainland paper mills.

He also needs to discuss with COSCO Shipping in person whether there is any professional refrigerated ship rental?
There is no doubt that Wu Feng's target is the pig scraps that the United States regards as biological waste.

If it is done well, this will be a long-term win-win business for both the mainland and him!
Even though he had just joined Hung Hing, he was able to use the channels of Hung Hing's major gangs to expand his business to the prosperous areas of the entire Hong Kong Island in one go.

Hung Hing is a big platform and can help him in so many ways.

When we came out of Yindu Institution, it was almost evening and the sky was gradually getting dark.

Wu Feng first went back to Tuodi, called his subordinates Dadi and the powerful Sijiu, explained some things to them during the New Year, and had an early New Year's Eve dinner.

Early the next morning, he took a van with more than thirty thugs and headed to Tiu Keng Leng in Sai Kung, where his home on Hong Kong Island was.

Speaking of which, the uncle who passed away more than a year ago really had nothing to say about their family.

Before leaving, he directly gave his old house to his parents, and even specially handled the transfer of the house and land.
