The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 745 My Status Isn't Enough! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Wu Aiguo's kick was quite impressive.

A burly man, over 1.8 meters tall and weighing over 160 pounds, was sent flying five or six meters before crashing heavily into a wall and sliding down. The visual impact was absolutely stunning.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Wu Aiguo is definitely a master.

Without using guns, it's likely that even the refined-looking, bespectacled man in the black suit wouldn't be able to defeat Wu Aiguo alone.

That's why, only after being coerced by Wu Aiguo, did the refined-looking middle-aged man with glasses finally become obedient.

Then, Wu Aiguo and his colleagues picked up their notebooks and began asking the professional teams specializing in cultural relics how they operated and made money.

Perhaps they had been informed beforehand, or perhaps Wu Aiguo's display of martial prowess was too overwhelming; in any case, the professional team members they found were incredibly open and honest in their advice.

First, we need to clarify the detailed process of how they handle the artifacts. Then, based on the film outline and some key points, we need to ask more detailed questions.

The conversation lasted from noon until evening.

With the full cooperation of a professional team, the script outline can be completed in just a few days.

"Once the script is finished, I will need your help to correct any obvious errors or omissions!"

Wu Aiguo stood up, and his colleagues immediately took out tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars and placed them on the table as the consultation fee.

Then, under the watchful eyes of many, they swaggered into the car and drove away.

"Wow, impressive, Wu Zai! I didn't know you had such formidable martial arts skills!"

"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't just stop working because of an unexpected accident. The boss is waiting anxiously!"

"I'm afraid those guys in black suits aren't good people!"

"Hehe, guys who deal with cultural relics are probably more afraid of us pestering them. Besides, the boss isn't someone to be trifled with!"

"Alright then, I need to explain things clearly to the boss when I get back, so that the company won't be caught off guard if something unexpected happens!"

"Sure, I have no objection. Anyway, I've finished what I was supposed to do. Now it's the company's and everyone else's business's turn!"

On the other side, the refined-looking bespectacled man and his subordinate in a black suit were also discussing the matter animatedly.

They really are here to gather material!
This left the refined, middle-aged man with glasses, who had been under duress for an entire afternoon listening to the rules governing the operation of cultural relics, feeling both frustrated and helpless.

Just as Wu Aiguo had guessed, this guy was genuinely worried that Wu Aiguo and Tianmu Film Company would continue to cause trouble.

They only dare to threaten antique dealers; they don't have the confidence to do anything else.

Do you really think the movie "Once a Thief" is realistic?
In fact, the plot in the movie is too far-fetched.

An international art thief who routinely keeps a considerable amount of weaponry in his home is simply absurd.

……

Wu Aiguo and his colleagues returned to the film company.

The boss, Dehua, wasn't there. He was quite busy; there were still quite a few movies that needed to be filmed.

Despite the fact that both low-budget films that Wu Aiguo and his colleagues worked on were miraculously profitable.

However, the profit margin for each film is not large!

As I said before, the company is heavily in debt and needs its boss, Dehua, to personally make movies to earn money.

Fortunately, after the success of the previous two low-budget films, the boss, Dehua, has relinquished some control.

This time, they directly allocated three million Hong Kong dollars as funding for the production of their third low-budget film.

In addition, any revenue from sponsorships and product placements will be included in the film's production costs.

And so it was; even when the boss was away, the company's colleagues got busy making final preparations before filming began. Of course, the news of Wu Aiguo displaying his formidable martial arts skills spread throughout the company, prompting many colleagues to inquire about it.

"I've practiced martial arts before, and I was even a stuntman in the Hung Ga Ban. What's so strange about that?"

"At most, I'm just a little skilled in martial arts. Don't make me sound like an alien!"

His explanation made his colleagues realize what was going on.

Before joining Sky Films, Wu Aiguo had indeed worked for Sammo Hung's stunt team for a period of time, so it's not surprising that he was skilled in martial arts.

I just didn't expect his martial arts skills to be so formidable.

Little did they know that Wu Aiguo spent almost all of his salary, as well as the bonuses he received from filming, on medicinal cuisine and high-protein foods.

The faster one's martial arts skills improve, the greater the need for food and nutrition.

He actually had some doubts too!

I don't understand why I feel like there's no bottleneck in my skill improvement.

If he were to unleash his full power, he would have already surpassed the limits of the human body!

However, he was reluctant to say it out loud, and he was even unwilling to go to the hospital for a full physical examination.

I just don't know how it compares to the strength of the King of Fighters players.
By the time Boss Dehua returned to the company, it was already very late.

Since Wu Aiguo and other employees started working on films that did well at the box office, their boss, Dehua, has made sure to come to the company every day whenever he has free time.

Everyone understands what he's thinking.

Currently, with Wu Aiguo providing the script and other company employees handling the specific filming and production process, it can only be applied to low-budget films for the time being.

But who can guarantee that company employees who have undergone repeated training will be able to shoot and produce medium to large-budget commercial films?
At that time, the boss, Dehua, might even be able to act in the film himself.

It's not about saving on actor fees or anything else; it's simply that it's more comfortable to stay on our own production crew.

When he heard about Wu Aiguo's actions, he was speechless.

He didn't seem angry or blaming her; he just chuckled and teased, "Wu-zai, you're truly a man of both literary and martial talents!"

"Haha, it's nothing, as long as the boss doesn't mind me causing trouble!"

"It's okay, I can handle anything if something really happens!"

After getting through to the boss, Dehua, things became simple.

To assemble a film crew and produce a movie according to the script.

During the process, there were no unexpected events or other interferences, the filming went very smoothly, and the post-production was also very quick.

This time, Wu Aiguo became the film producer, so he didn't have to deal with the specific tasks and only needed to keep an eye on the filming site.

At this point, he was one of only two big shots in the entire crew.

At Sky Films, there are no employees with more seniority or reputation than him.

In the Hong Kong film industry, as long as the films produced by a producer are doing well and profitable, they can be considered to be in the upper-middle class of the film industry.

He was quite satisfied. Most importantly, with the improvement of his strength, he was able to find out and learn more secret information.

For example, there is a town called South Town in the United States, which is a world-renowned core of the underground world, with influence and power radiating across the earth.

Of course, Wu Aiguo had only heard about it superficially, and he was still unable to collect all the details.
