Chapter 127: Famous! (Please subscribe)

"Wow, is developing arcade games so profitable?"

In the general manager's office of Cinema City, Mai Jia touched his big bald head and looked at the *Mong Kok News* in front of him, sighing repeatedly.

"So, Wusheng made tens of millions in profit on the *A Better Tomorrow* arcade?"

Shi Tian also held a copy of *Mong Kok News* and echoed: "Really didn't expect it!"

"If I had known, the adaptation rights for *A Better Tomorrow* shouldn't have been given away so cheaply!"

Mai Jia's eyes showed greed, and he sighed: "Now I can only watch helplessly, and I feel really uncomfortable!"

"Forget it, if it weren't for Wusheng, could the *A Better Tomorrow* game have been developed?"

Shi Tian irritably shook the newspaper in his hand and sneered: "The newspaper says it very clearly; Wusheng invested 1 million to start development without any income!"

"At that time, no one knew how much R&D funding was needed!"

"Even if the game was really developed, whether it would be hot or not is another matter; the risk is not small!"

"Once it fails, it's a loss of millions; do you have the courage to gamble?"

Mai Jia was silent and nodded: "If it were me, I definitely wouldn't invest money!"

"I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of arcade games; who knows if the money invested will go down the drain?"

"It's a pity that the adaptation rights for the sequel to *A Better Tomorrow* have also been taken away by Wusheng!"

"Then can we learn from Wusheng and adapt the rest of the movies in the film library into arcade games?"

"This idea is not bad, it's just that which movie to choose is worth thinking about!"

Speaking of this, Mai Jia and Shi Tian were a bit embarrassed; they just realized that Cinema City's film library had very few action movies and gunfight movies.

Obviously, comedy movies are not very suitable for adaptation into arcade games!

"It seems that if White Pigeon Wu shoots gunfight movies in the future, we have to support him!"

Mai Jia suddenly said: "By the way, has the filming of the second part of *A Better Tomorrow* started?"

"It has already started filming!"

Shi Tian chuckled: "Speaking of this, I remember. In order to satisfy Wusheng, White Pigeon Wu and the others changed the script several times; I heard they were quite unhappy in private!"

"Heh, just shot a *A Better Tomorrow* and turned over, and now they think of themselves as big directors?"

Mai Jia sneered: "If Wusheng were an outsider, that would be fine, but he understands the film market better than White Pigeon Wu, not to mention that the script has to cooperate with the development of the next arcade game; where does he get such a big temper?"

"Forget it, as long as he can continue to shoot profitable movies, let him be!"

Shi Tian waved his hand: "Today's newspaper stimulated me quite a bit; I have to go out and walk around to relax!"

In fact, they didn't know that Boss Lei was also reading the report of *Mong Kok News*, and he forgot to smoke the cigar in his hand; his complexion was quite wonderful.

However, he couldn't help but show a smile of watching a good show, and said to himself: "Zou Wenhuai suffered a big loss this time; I don't know what his mood is at this time?"

Zou Wenhuai was naturally quite unhappy, but he was not yet so upset as to lose his composure.

After all, he had passed the initial depression period; at this time, although he was unhappy when it was mentioned again by the content in the newspaper, he was not too angry.

On the contrary, he also carefully pondered the content in the newspaper, wanting to learn something from it.

In fact, he did gain a lot!

*Mong Kok News* reported in great detail, starting from how Wu Feng favored the adaptation rights of a certain movie, and then went to the film company to buy the game adaptation rights.

Seeing this, the original unhappy mood suddenly became a bit more balanced.

It turns out that Cinema City also gave the game adaptation rights of the *A Better Tomorrow* series of movies directly to Wu Feng because they wanted to sell the films to Europe and America.

It can only be said that Wu Feng does have some ability; otherwise, how could he have ruthlessly plucked a handful of wool from the two film giants Cinema City and Golden Harvest, but they could only pinch their noses and admit it?

I heard that many of Cinema City's films have already been sold to Europe and America through the channels they opened up.

It's really good luck; in the past, their biggest market was Taiwan, and they were eaten to death by that side.

Now the situation is much better; by selling films to Europe and America to create public opinion, the film market in Southeast Asia has also been gradually opened up by Cinema City.

No wonder, Cinema City, which was originally crumbling and almost in a state of falling apart, has improved greatly recently.

As long as a film company can still make money, no matter how bad the internal situation is, it can still be maintained.

On the contrary, on Golden Harvest's side, Cheng Shilong's movie promotion plan is not very smooth!

Of course, the lack of smoothness in Zou Wenhuai's eyes refers to Cheng Shilong's movies being unable to break into the mainstream market of Europe and America; this has always been his heart disease.

For Wu Feng's pointing fingers at the beginning, he didn't recognize it very much, nor was he very convinced.

What era dividends, what world situation, he didn't care at all.

He just has confidence in himself and Cheng Shilong, and must cultivate a second international kung fu superstar, even if he pays a huge price, he will not hesitate.

Of course, in this process, He Guanchang followed Wu Feng's advice and sold the videotape copyrights of Cheng Shilong's past movies; he opened one eye and closed one eye.

He really didn't expect that the videotape copyright fee in Europe and America had risen to 500,000 per film; he was startled when he just heard about it.

That is to say, just by selling the videotape copyrights in Europe and America, one of Cheng Shilong's movies could be sold for 1 million dollars, which is not a small number for Golden Harvest.

It's a pity that the gap between this and the ideal state in his heart is still huge.

*Mong Kok News* reported the profiteering of arcade game development in an all-round way this time, which not only made Boss Lei of Golden Princess and Boss Zou of Golden Harvest depressed, but also attracted the attention of many tycoons.

"Is developing arcade games really so profitable?"

Even Li Bancheng, who is in the whirlpool of public opinion, couldn't help but call his secretary to inquire carefully after seeing the report of *Mong Kok News*.

For tycoons like him, as long as it is a business that can make profiteering, he is interested.

Look at the content in the newspaper; Wu Feng, the boss of Fengrui Film and Television, earned over 100 million in profit by developing two hot arcade games in less than a year.

What is this concept?

Many so-called listed companies don't have that much profit in a year!

Where would the secretary know the ins and outs here?

But fortunately, Li Bancheng's face is big enough, and his secretary's face is not small either.

Wanting to collect public information about a certain company in Hong Kong is quite convenient and easy.

This didn't take much time, and the secretary reported: "Chairman, the things mentioned in the newspaper are basically true; *Mong Kok News* is in fact a newspaper under Wu Feng, the boss of Fengrui Film and Television!"

"Oh, then what does he mean?"

Li Bancheng became interested: "Exposing the profiteering of arcade game development in his own newspaper, there must be some purpose!"

"This is not clear!"

The secretary replied embarrassedly: "Should I inquire clearly immediately?"

"No need!"

Li Bancheng said certainly: "I believe it won't be long before he exposes his purpose himself!"

"Then, Chairman, should we participate in arcade game development?"

The secretary asked carefully: "The rate of return is too exaggerated; it is simply a cash cow!"

"No need to worry for now; let's figure out the specific situation of the arcade game industry first!"

Li Bancheng waved his hand: "As long as I want, I can enter the market at any time!"

Those who have the same thoughts as Li Bancheng are basically the tycoon group in Hong Kong.

Although they were surprised by the profiteering of arcade game development, they didn't have the idea of entering rashly.

On the one hand, they wanted to figure out the specific situation of the arcade game industry, and on the other hand, they wanted to see Wu Feng's specific purpose; they were all quite confident in their financial resources.

As long as they feel that the arcade market is really good, once they join, they will definitely be the leader and eat the biggest piece of the cake; that's how domineering they are.

Really comparing, arcade game development has a certain risk after all; compared to the stable income of developing real estate and collecting rent, there is still a not small gap.

As for more ordinary readers, besides exclamation, they are all kinds of envy and jealousy.

At the same time, they also know and have a deep impression of the protagonist Wu Feng in the newspaper.

The most surprised ones are the residents of Shanghai Street.

They didn't expect that Wu Feng, who didn't look very eye-catching, was so impressive in making money.

"Wow, is engaging in arcade game development so profitable? Isn't Feng Ge already a billionaire?"

"Feng Ge must already be a billionaire; didn't the newspaper say that the *A Better Tomorrow* arcade and the recently super hot *Police Story* arcade made Feng Ge earn crazy money!"

"How did Feng Ge's brain grow, to have the idea of developing arcade games and dare to invest so much!"

"So Feng Ge is a Big Brother, and we are still bottom-level scum; there is nothing to compare!"

"Hey, in the future, whatever Feng Ge says is what it is; I must hold Feng Ge's thigh tightly!"

"..."

Even Wu Feng didn't expect that the report of *Mong Kok News* actually boosted the sales of the *Police Story* arcade, which is simply a big outrageous thing.

His original intention was to leave a deep impression on Hong Kong readers.

After his own game development company opened, he would take the initiative to collect ideas and points from all over Hong Kong.

Only by laying the groundwork in advance would Hong Kong people not treat him as someone with a brain problem when he started advertising.

No way, there is no technological soil in Hong Kong; many things are not how you want them to be, so you still need to lay the groundwork first.

"Feng Zai, you are capable; you became a billionaire without a sound!"

Soon it was the end of the month, and it was time to go to the Hong Hing main hall to pay the count.

Jing Kun, who came early, couldn't help but tease after seeing Wu Feng appear: "Should I call you Boss Wu in the future? Tsk tsk, it's really hard to believe!"

"Call me whatever you want!"

Wu Feng pulled a chair and sat down, laughing: "I have big moves later, it is estimated that this little money is not enough; Kun Ge, do you want to lend me some, just 100 million!"

"You guy, 100 million just comes out of your mouth; do you think I'm running a bank!"

Jing Kun rolled his eyes and waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, too lazy to talk to you about this!"

Not long after, Jiang Tiansheng came, and couldn't help but tease when he saw Wu Feng: "A-Feng is impressive!"
