The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 80: Things are different now, I have the latest version! (Please save and read)

At the celebration venue, Wu Feng and Boss Lei were chatting and laughing.

I wonder how envious the senior executives of Cinema City must be of this scene.

Although they could often see Boss Lei, due to the huge gap in wealth and social status, they consciously or unconsciously lowered their posture and spoke in a restrained manner as subordinates.

Looking at Wu Feng again, it is obvious that he is communicating with Boss Lei on an equal footing!

They don’t know where Wu Feng gets the confidence from?

In a capitalist society, the amount of property one has is a reflection of one's social status. At least most people agree with this judgment. Obviously, Boss Lei is much richer than Wu Feng.

As for Wu Feng, the senior management of Cinema City only has a general understanding of him and is not clear about the specific situation.

He owns a newspaper company, and the sales volume of the newspaper "Mong Kok News" exceeds 100,000. He is considered a relatively powerful newspaper tycoon.

There is also Fengrui Film and Television Company, which is considered by the top management of Cinema City to have only some strength.

The films produced and distributed are basically low-budget films. Although almost all of them make money, their influence and status in the film industry are still far behind that of Cinema City.

It seems that this person is a big boss in the society, but he is not easy to mess with.

In fact, Boss Lei, who was chatting and laughing with Wu Feng, also had the same doubts.

He could clearly feel that Wu Feng's tone and attitude when speaking were more confident than before.

During their previous communication, Wu Feng gave him the impression of a greenhorn who had just started out.

He had to put on a show despite having no foundation. Of course, he didn't know at that time where Wu Feng's inexplicable arrogance came from.

Speaking of talent, which of the core members of Cinema City is not full of talent?

Although the boss Mai Jia's directing ability is mediocre, he is actually a top student who studied abroad in the United States.

The rest of the core members are either top comedy stars, talented directors and screenwriters, or have outstanding management abilities.

Of course, Wu Feng’s talent may lie in his ability to come up with many ideas and make money, and he can get along well no matter where he is.

Apart from anything else, just by using the story of "A Better Tomorrow" to develop and produce the arcade game of the same name, I heard that it made millions in just over a month!
But this cannot explain the reason why Wu Feng has the confidence to act as an equal when facing a billionaire like Boss Lei.

Any movie from Cinema City that grosses over 10 million yuan can generate total revenue that crushes the revenue from arcade games.

That’s why they are all smart people, and the smartest among the elites.

They were able to keenly capture the subtle changes in Wu Feng's temperament.

Things are different now. Before, Wu Feng relied on the powerful information advantage brought by the time traveler.

Just as he said when he rejected Boss Lei's recruitment, if the Lei family doesn't have a billion in assets, don't ask for it.

With the future information he possesses, as long as he plans it well, he can easily bring about earth-shaking changes in the Lei family's wealth and social status in a short period of time.

Although he didn't have much capital at that time, he didn't think that Boss Lei was superior to others.

The situation is different now. With mainland factories running at full capacity, they can reap tens of millions in profits every month.

Just like this, within a few years, Wu Feng's personal wealth will easily surpass the entire Lei family. How could his confidence and self-confidence be insufficient?

"Don't worry, the script for 'A Better Tomorrow 2' is almost ready!"

No matter what he was thinking, Boss Lei still answered Wu Feng's questions seriously.

"Takeshi, can you take a look at the 'Best Partner' movie series and make it into an arcade game?"

Changing the subject, Boss Lei couldn't help but ask, "There's no shortage of exciting fights in there!" "You can give it a try!"

Wu Feng chuckled and said, "Mr. Lei, you can ask the content director of VTech to clarify!"

Boss Lei nodded to show that he understood, and then the normal cocktail party content continued.

Wu Feng didn't drink much. He met with the directors of Cinema City, exchanged ideas with them, and then took his leave. He didn't feel very good about being the only outsider present at Cinema City's celebration party.

While still in the car, he received a call from Golden Harvest.

It was He Guanchang who called and strongly invited Wu Feng to come over for a meeting.

Haha, you can’t wait after seeing the benefits of real money.

In fact, he is quite interested in Golden Harvest's film library.

Compared with the comedies that Cinema City specializes in, Golden Harvest's kung fu films, and Cheng Shilong's successful transformation into modern urban action films, they are easier to adapt into arcade games.

Judging from the nature of Hong Kong businessmen, I'm afraid that the top management of Golden Harvest has already contacted VTech.

At VTech, Wu Feng also has his own people acting as his spies.

However, even if Golden Harvest had an idea, Zou Wenhuai was unlikely to place a big bet.

The development of arcade games at this time can really be called high-tech.

The cost of the gaming motherboard produced by themselves alone reached HK$4,500, which shows the huge investment in high-tech products.

Few traditional businessmen in Hong Kong Island dare to make large investments in emerging industries such as high technology.

Obviously, Zou Wenhuai will definitely not be an exception!
Once a game is developed but is not popular in the market, the losses can be quite heavy.

At the end of last year, if Wu Feng had not invested one million without hesitation, VTech's development speed would not have been so fast. After that, he invested more than 500,000 more.

Add it all up, and it's enough to make a low-budget movie.

With Fengrui Film and Television's current production capabilities, a low-budget movie could generate at least five million in profit within half a year, all added up.

That’s right, at this time, Fengrui Film and Television was also considered a leader in the Hong Kong film industry.

Even though these are all low-budget movies, almost all of them make money.

While paying attention to mainland factories, Wu Feng also did not forget to guide the development of Fengrui Film and Television Company.

At present, there are several major series of movies produced by Fengrui Film and Television Company.

The first was the folk fantasy series, the later horror thriller series, the Republic of China hero series currently being filmed in the mainland, and the urban comedy series.

Among them, the box office of the folk fantasy series has basically stabilized, with each film earning around 10 million.

Because of the linkage between novels and comics, it can be said that it has the greatest influence.

At the same time, it also attracted peers in Hong Kong to follow suit.

However, no one expected that with the protection of "Mong Kok News", the folk fantasy film was not greatly affected despite the impact of its peers.

There is no other reason. The current audience only recognizes the folk fantasy stories published in the "Mong Kok News", as well as the jointly released novels and comics for promotion, which is why the movie of the same name is recognized by the audience.

No one expected that such a strange scene would occur in the Hong Kong film industry!
Those copycat works are complaining bitterly, it’s not that easy to ride on the popularity!
Those with poor quality will be rejected immediately and you will lose all your money!
