Chapter 107: I Am a Big Tycoon! (Seeking subscriptions)
(Happy New Year, wishing book friends good health and family reunion)
Listening to Cheng Shilong's explanation, Wu Feng was quite between laughter and tears.
Speaking of which, Golden Harvest paid a lot to get the ideas from his mouth to let Cheng Shilong's movies impact the European and American markets.
That is the game adaptation rights for the *Project A* series and the *Police Story* series, which will definitely make Boss Zou depressed to the point of vomiting blood later.
Wu Feng didn't hide anything, although some words were too shocking, or in the ears of Zou Wenhuai and the others, they were biased, but that was the fact.
Unexpectedly, when it came to execution, Boss Zou became arrogant.
Fortunately, He Guanchang's execution ability is not bad, first starting to cooperate with *Oriental Daily News* to serialize the novel of the same name *Police Story*.
At the same time, he also cooperated with Yulang International, known as the number one comic company in Hong Kong, to launch the comic of the same name *Police Story*, which is considered the first step in the linkage between novels and comics.
It's just that it's not done thoroughly; why not simply launch Japanese, Korean, and English versions of novels and comics? It feels a bit timid.
With Cheng Shilong's influence in Asia, it is quite easy to sell novels and comics to Japan and South Korea to achieve results.
As for the animation that Wu Feng proposed, Cheng Shilong didn't even mention it.
Tsk tsk...
Wu Feng didn't know what to say; it seemed that Golden Harvest had done something, and it seemed that they hadn't done anything.
It felt very inexplicable.
"What about videotapes? Do you have any ideas for selling videotapes?"
He continued to ask: "With Golden Harvest's relationship network in the United States, it should be no problem, right?"
"I haven't thought about whether to do it yet!"
Cheng Shilong was also a bit troubled and depressed: "As for whether it can achieve results, it's hard to say!"
Wu Feng stopped talking; this is still farting.
Hong Xinbao next to him heard some ways and wanted to communicate very much.
It's just that the timing is not right, and he has to wait until the premiere of *Swallow Li San* is over.
At this time, the Nanhua Theater was almost full of guests and audiences.
Liang Xiaolong and Li Saifeng, as well as the director, all sat next to Wu Feng, waiting for the movie to be released with anxiety.
Wu Feng didn't comfort them; after the movie ended, they would know that this movie was indeed filmed well.
The facts were indeed so!
After the movie was released, the lights on the ceiling of the Nanhua Theater were turned on, and suddenly there was applause and whistling in the premiere, clearly the audience liked this movie very much.
Even Cheng Shilong and Hong Xinbao, who were originally careless and didn't put their minds on the movie, gradually returned to their senses from the movie story at this time, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces unconsciously.
They had filmed too many Republic of China kung fu movies and could be said to be the masters of this type of movie.
If they hadn't noticed that Republic of China kung fu movies had no way out, they wouldn't have turned to urban action movies one after another.
But they didn't expect that Republic of China kung fu movies that seemed to have no way out could be filmed so wonderfully.
Although there were novels and comics as a bottom, the movie plot was more compact and attractive, which was an indisputable fact.
There was no traditional revenge plot inside, nor various martial arts hall opposition plots, but a growth history of a Jianghu rookie, and refreshing plots of acting for justice.
The experience for the audience was quite refreshing, refreshing to the point of not being able to do it!
Not only that, the Republic of China style in the movie was also quite real, which was much stronger in the image of the environment than the so-called Republic of China kung fu movies they filmed before.
They had also read novels and comics and knew that the story of *Swallow Li San* was far from over.
Clearly, this was a series of movies!
Judging from the quality of the first part and the audience's reaction, it was clearly a huge success!
As for the box office, it's hard to say, but 10 million is definitely not
"Congratulations, Wu Feng! Fengrui Film and Television has produced another good movie; the box office prospects are promising!"
Cheng Shilong smiled at Wu Feng and said, "I never imagined that a novel story could be adapted into such a brilliant film!"
"Indeed, this movie has also exceeded my expectations!"
Hong Xinbao chimed in, "Wu Feng's company has been quite spectacular over the past six months!"
"You're too kind!"
Wu Feng smiled slightly and said leisurely, "As long as there is a good script and the director doesn't ruin it, the quality of the film can always be kept above a certain standard!"
"The synergistic effect between the novels, comics, and the film is quite obvious!"
Cheng Shilong nodded repeatedly, a thoughtful look appearing on his face.
Even Hong Xinbao, standing beside him, had a trace of contemplation emerge on his chubby face.
The two of them didn't stay long at the Nanhua Xiyuan; they congratulated Liang Xiaolong, Li Saifeng, and the film's director, then politely declined the invitation to dinner and left early.
"You can rest easy now, right?"
Wu Feng stayed behind, smiled at the film's main creators, and said, "A good movie is a good movie; there's no need to worry or be overly cautious. Just wait for the box office to take off!"
"Wu Feng, aren't you coming to the dinner?"
Li Saifeng suddenly spoke up, "As the boss of this film company, you're a bit unsociable!"
"Haha, I won't join in!"
Wu Feng swept a glance at Li Saifeng's pretty face and said leisurely, "I'm afraid that if I'm there, you'll all feel uncomfortable, so there's no need to make myself unwelcome!"
After saying this, he waved his hand and walked toward Jing Kun, who had been waiting for a while.
Li Saifeng felt a bit depressed and couldn't continue to pester him for the moment, so she had to follow the other creators, who were wearing ambiguous smiles, to dinner—which could be considered a disguised celebration.
The premiere was a hit, and based on past habits, the subsequent box office trend shouldn't be bad.
As the lead actors, becoming famous was only a matter of time!
With the promotional capabilities of Fengrui Film and Television, as long as their status rose, they could easily earn income commensurate with that status; this was what made them the happiest.
Especially for female stars, in an environment like Hong Kong, making money in a proper way is actually not easy.
It's just that Wu Feng is generous and provides his female stars with many good income channels, which is indeed much easier and simpler compared to their peers outside.
On the other side, Wu Feng walked up to Jing Kun and asked curiously, "Brother Kun, what's the matter?"
"Can't I look for you if there's nothing wrong?"
Jing Kun rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Tell me, what have you been up to lately? Why haven't I seen you for such a long time?"
While they were talking, the two had already left the Nanhua Xiyuan, and a circle of underlings immediately followed behind.
Before Wu Feng could speak, he laughed, "I don't admire anyone else, but I admire the grand display you put on. Even Jiang Tiansheng's outings aren't as exaggerated as yours!"
"Hehe..."
Wu Feng chuckled and explained unhurriedly, "I've really had some things to deal with lately, and I've been in Sai Kung a lot of the time, so it's normal that Brother Kun hasn't seen me!"
As for the matter of his bodyguards, he was too lazy to mention it again; how many times had he already said it?
"Let's go, I'm in a good mood today, I'll treat you to a night of fun at the Grand Palace Nightclub!"
Jing Kun put his arm around Wu Feng's neck and laughed, "That's one of the most famous high-end nightclubs on Portland Street; it's much more impressive than that sauna of yours with the same name!"
"Fine, fine, fine, I'll go, alright?"
Seeing Jing Kun's posture, Wu Feng knew he clearly had something to say.
As for going to the nightclub to have fun, that depended on whether he wanted to; he really didn't trust the dance misses outside.
The group didn't take cars and walked directly there.
Nanhua Xiyuan was right on Portland Street, not far from the Grand Palace Nightclub.
Portland Street at night is truly a place of flashing neon and vibrant colors.
Pedestrians come and go like a weave, luxury cars gather, and the air is filled with a restless atmosphere.
Amazingly, there are quite a few pretty girls walking on the street.
Each one is young and beautiful, making people stop and stare involuntarily, and their moods become much more pleasant.
Wu Feng's entourage is quite large, with over a dozen fighters and underlings alone.
Each one has tattoos on their arms, looking tough and fierce; one can tell at a glance they are not to be trifled with.
Wu Feng has eight by his side, and Jing Kun has four of his own men.
A few meters away, there is also a hidden group of three bodyguards; it can be said that the protection is quite tight.
Jing Kun is the local tiger of Portland Street, and he knows countless people in the underworld.
Along the way, he kept hearing "Brother Kun" from various voices, and this guy couldn't help but show a proud expression, occasionally sweeping a glance at Wu Feng from the corner of his eye.
It was as if he were saying: See, I have face on Portland Street, don't I?
In fact, the underworld figures along the way were more curious about Wu Feng, who could walk side-by-side with Jing Kun.
Jing Kun is not easy to get along with; this guy has a strange temper and has recently become even more arrogant and condescending, looking down on people—even the underworld Big Brothers he is usually on good terms with can't stand it.
At least on Portland Street, there is almost no one who can make Jing Kun look at them with respect.
Wu Feng being able to walk side-by-side with Jing Kun at this moment is seen by outsiders as having a lot of face.
As for why the Hong Hing underlings on Portland Street don't recognize Wu Feng, it's because he is too low-key and basically hasn't wandered around Portland Street much.
And the Hong Hing underlings who hang out on Portland Street rarely go to Shanghai Street to play; although the two places are not far apart, there is still a certain gap in their level of prosperity.
If one really had to compare, Portland Street has more of a commercial atmosphere, while Shanghai Street has more of a living atmosphere.
As for when Wu Feng joined Hong Hing and appeared at Sansheng Palace, only the Hong Hing elders and top-tier Big Brothers could see him; the low-level Four-Nines were too far away to see clearly.
The two of them, with their underlings, swaggered through the streets and soon arrived at the Grand Palace Nightclub.
Ahem, the facade alone is much better than the Dafuhao Sauna.
Wu Feng has to admit this, but he doesn't have any bad intentions, and as for embarrassment, that certainly doesn't exist.
With his current financial strength, buying out the Grand Palace Nightclub would be easy.
He wouldn't even need to use overseas funds; the money earned from legitimate businesses alone would be enough.
Don't forget, VTech could earn nearly 20 million through the "A Better Tomorrow" arcade game; naturally, Wu Feng earns no less than VTech, and it is still providing a steady stream of profits.
There are also Fengrui Film and Television and the newspaper, which can now provide cash flow in the tens of millions.
Even the Emotional Hotline, which has the poorest profitability, has accumulated nearly 5 million in funds over a few months.
Unknowingly, Wu Feng's legitimate business has already reached a new level.
He is, without a doubt, a big tycoon!
