The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 95: A Gathering of Beauties! (Please Collect and Read)
Tsk!
Look how arrogant you are. If you don’t know, you would think Fengrui Films is already the overlord of the Hong Kong film industry.

There is no need to say much to the person in charge of Fengrui Film and Television regarding the promotion of novels and comics.

In Wu Feng's view, as long as there is an opportunity to go out, we must seize it.

Even if you don't make much money in the early stages, it is still necessary to cultivate a group of loyal readers.

If possible, he wouldn't even mind supplying comic strips to small-time comic book clubs for free.

"Have you ever thought of adapting the movie 'Swallow Li San' into an arcade or cassette game?"

Wu Feng asked directly: "You must have heard about how popular the arcade version of 'A Better Tomorrow' is!"

"This one……"

The head of the film and television company hesitated and said awkwardly, "We have this idea, but we have to wait and see how the box office performs after the movie is released!"

Seeing that Wu Feng looked calm and showed no dissatisfaction, he continued, "After all, the initial investment is not a small amount, and the risk is a bit too great!"

Wu Feng did not comment and did not say much, but just asked him to arrange the release of the movie.

In his heart, he had made up his mind to set up a game company specializing in planning and developing arcade and cartridge games.

This is a huge gold mine that has been prosperous for countless years. Since we have the opportunity to get involved, we naturally cannot give up easily. We must invest boldly to occupy a place in it.

In a Hong Kong entertainment novel I read in my previous life, the protagonist focused on the field of home game consoles. He fought against the small-time Nintendo with such passion that he once had a considerable advantage.

Then, starting with home game consoles, it switched to the Subor learning machine that was popular in mainland China in the 1990s, thus successfully entering the field of research and development and assembly of home computers.

At this time, the gap between mainland China's strength in the field of microelectronics and that of Europe, the United States and other countries was not as exaggerated as it was later, at least in terms of the foundation of the electronics industry.

As to whether this was the case, Wu Feng was naturally not very clear.

Once he has enough time, he will naturally send enough technical personnel to certain research institutions and laboratories in the mainland to investigate thoroughly.

In short, he has a lot of ideas in the field of consumer electronics.

Of course, most of them were inspired by certain plots in urban rebirth novels I had read.

Anyway, his wealth is expanding at an alarming rate right now, and there is enough cost for trial and error, so he can treat it as a long-term activity.

After coming out of the office of the head of the film and television company, Wu Feng took another tour inside the company.

At this time, Fengrui Film and Television Company was naturally no longer the shell company it was when it was first established.

There are hundreds of employees alone, all of whom are members of the film and television industry, such as directors, screenwriters, lighting designers, photographers, costume designers, and other behind-the-scenes members. It is no problem to quickly set up one or two small or medium-sized crews.

What makes him most satisfied is that during their time at the company, these employees have been diligently accepting the learning and training provided by the company.

He has a firm belief that technical talents can gradually improve their abilities through learning and practice, so the company has always provided learning opportunities in various aspects.

Maybe great directors need talent, but ordinary directors with good execution ability can be cultivated through a lot of training and learning.

At this time, Fengrui Film and Television has no shortage of plans for shooting low-budget films.

As long as the novel has been serialized in "Mong Kok News" and the story has a certain degree of fame in the monthly novel magazine, the company's directors and screenwriters can adapt it into a low-budget movie.

The film company, after many low-budget films, has formed a fairly complete shooting and promotion and release process. As long as the film does not fail, recovering the cost will not be a problem.

Without too much cost pressure, the company naturally has a lot of shooting plans.

It's safe to say there were filming assignments every month of the year. Throughout 1987, there were a total of fifteen or sixteen films scheduled for production, not counting those that were shoved in at the last minute. With so many film projects planned, even if they were all low-budget, it would provide ample opportunity for all employees in the company to hone their skills and gain a wide range of experience.

When he reached the Artist Department, Wu Feng paused, a hint of surprise showing on his face.

There is no other reason, there are obviously a lot of actresses receiving training in the Artist Department.

Moreover, they are all young and beautiful, and most of them are even familiar faces.

Like Li Saifeng whom I had met before, Ye Yuqing who later became very famous, and even Weng Hong were there.

Obviously, as Fengrui Film and Television Company grew in strength, Wen Bixia could no longer support the artist department alone. Unexpectedly, she recruited so many familiar female artists.

There are still many people filming outside, and I wonder how many more "surprises" there are?
He just glanced at the artist department's training classroom through the large two-way glass windows, and had no intention of going in to get to know these familiar female artists.

Come to think of it, in 1987, the entire company had to shoot fifteen or sixteen small- and medium-budget films. If there were not enough actors in reserve, it would have been absolutely useless.

You can't always ask for help from outside, as it's easy to get stuck and encounter unexpected situations.

Only by delving into the Hong Kong film industry can you understand how chaotic it is.

The infiltration of the film industry by the society is quite serious. The most terrible thing is that the knowledge and quality of most people working in the film industry are worrying, and they often do stupid things that are difficult for normal people to understand.

For a little bit of profit, people are willing to do anything shameless.

It is true that Wu Feng is the leader of the Hung Hing Saigon branch, but he can't just clash with this person and make enemies with that person just for the sake of the actors. He really doesn't have that much time for international affairs.

"Hey, that handsome guy the manager just entertained, couldn't he be the boss of the company?"

Little did he know that the female artists who were receiving acting training in the classroom had already noticed him.

As soon as Wu Feng and his group disappeared, the classroom was filled with discussions.

Weng Hong looked excited and winked at Li Saifeng who was sitting next to her.

Several female artists nearby, including Ye Yuqing, pricked up their ears and looked curious.

They did not feel jealous or envious of Li Saifeng, who had just returned from filming in the mainland.

The company has so many movies to shoot, and they all have the opportunity to become the leading actress in the movie. There is no need to envy or be jealous of anyone else. The key is to have such acting skills and strength.

Otherwise, if the filming fails, it will be a complete loss of money.

Just thinking about the amount of money they might lose can make them so depressed that their breasts hurt.

Fengrui Film and Television Company has not only formed a fairly complete process in producing small and medium-cost films.

We have also accumulated certain experience in the business of promoting products using outstanding movie characters, and have begun to form more reliable processes and business models.

Not to mention the natural sales power of fashion dramas, even costume dramas can sell small accessories and pendants worn by outstanding characters for a considerable amount and then share the profits.

In fact, the fixed salary of female artists is not high, and can only be considered average among their peers in Hong Kong Island.

But there are ways and channels to make money by selling goods. As long as they perform well, the share of sales from a movie can even be higher than their salary.

It is also because Fengrui Film and Television Company was the first to promote products and was willing to share profits with actors, so a large number of beauties joined the company in a short period of time, and some of them have never even met the company's boss.
