Chapter 139: Not an Unexpected Opponent! (Please subscribe)
For the person in charge of Fengrui Film and Television Company, Wu Feng had no intention of pursuing it.
It was already quite good that this guy had awe in his heart.
If it were someone brainless, he would have invested the money regardless, and what would be the point of installing a cement bucket afterwards?
Killing the chicken to warn the monkey was refreshing, but would the successor still have the guts to do things?
Then it would purely become a tool person, and there would be no hope of any subjective initiative.
This won't do!
What he had to do was to set the rules and supervise the person in charge of the film and television company to implement the rules.
The cultural and entertainment linkage system he had created had already proven its reliability with facts.
Perhaps the films produced through this system were not explosive, but the lower limit was not low.
After all, there were already some readers and supporters, and this was the foundation!
1987 was indeed the golden age of the Hong Kong film industry!
Wu Feng also admitted that the flash of inspiration of many creators had produced many film history classics.
But with the memory of later generations, he knew that industrialization was the future.
The so-called industrialization was, in fact, a perfect film production system, standardizing and transparentizing all production processes except for creativity.
Of course, with the current film production level in Hong Kong and the ability of Fengrui Film and Television itself, it was a bit too early to talk about film industrialization.
But Fengrui Film and Television's cultural and entertainment production system was much more reliable and controllable than the "flying paper" (last-minute script changes) and temporary ideas popular in the Hong Kong film industry at this time.
In addition, it had a not-weak anti-fraud function.
Whether the script handed over by outsiders had a market, one try would know.
Also, whether it was a story produced perfunctorily, it could be seen through at a glance.
As long as the director filmed according to the script and storyboard, there would basically not be too big a loophole.
The requirement for the director was actually very simple: as long as the basic skills were solid and had a certain level, it would be fine!
It seemed it was time to strengthen cooperation with major film studios in the Mainland.
Wu Feng's main purpose was to invite young and middle-aged directors from Mainland film studios to come to Hong Kong to film movies.
Compared with the director group in Hong Kong, he recognized the basic skills of Mainland directors more.
He strolled around the film and television company and didn't see any scenes of artists receiving training.
The outside stock market triggered a violent turmoil, but the film and television industry was not hit much.
Fengrui Film and Television was also running at full power at this time, filming three small and medium-cost movies in one go, and almost all the artists in the company had work, so where did they have time to stay in the company for training?
Speaking of which, Li Saifeng had been to the Mainland with the crew for a long time and should be back soon.
As for Weng Hong, she had just come out of one crew and immediately invested in another crew.
Anyway, there were no idle people in Fengrui Film and Television Company at this time, which was quite eye-catching.
It was heard that even those big stars were quite favored by Fengrui Film and Television.
There were enough plays to film, they could get full remuneration, and they didn't have to worry about being interfered with by the triad!
The key was that the company's logistics support was done well, allowing actors to devote themselves to performance and filming without having to worry about trivial matters in life.
It was just a pity that Fengrui Film and Television had always been making small and medium-cost films and had no signs of producing blockbusters. Otherwise, those big stars who were already tempted would really possibly join actively.
Wu Feng didn't care much about this!
It was hard to say how much box office appeal the so-called big stars in Hong Kong had.
Fengrui Film and Television could also cultivate big stars itself, and there was no great demand for outside stars.
In short, the mood of strolling around the film and television company was quite good.
When leaving, he saw the person in charge of the company shrinking and not daring to come forward. He waved his hand to let the matter pass and didn't say much, leaving directly by car.
Just returned to the Shanghai Street local headquarters, and saw Li Saifeng's beautiful figure.
It was really not to be mentioned...
Wu Feng brought Li Saifeng, who was smiling, to the third-floor office and hugged her.
An hour later, the two were dressed neatly again, and he asked curiously, "Why didn't you return to the company first? I was just strolling around there. I just thought you should be back soon, and I didn't expect you to really appear!"
Li Saifeng sat on Wu Feng's lap, found a more comfortable position, her face was dazzling with red, and she said lazily, "This time, because it was a chaotic world of warlord melee, the filming time took a bit longer!"
"When I came back, the director said very clearly, let's take a three-day vacation first to let everyone relax!"
Then, she said some interesting anecdotes about filming in the Mainland, and Wu Feng hadn't laughed yet, but she giggled herself.
"How is it, can you adapt to the intensity of filming?"
After she laughed enough, Wu Feng asked directly, "Action actors, I guess it's quite hard!"
"It's okay, I'm a martial artist anyway!"
Li Saifeng giggled, "The director takes good care of me. As long as it's not filming in fatigue, I can bear it!"
"The second part of "Swallow Li San" has been filmed, right!"
Wu Feng affirmed, "Then you have another long rest time!"
"Yes, filming a movie and then resting for a while, this rhythm is just right!"
Li Saifeng was not hypocritical and chuckled, "By the way, don't give Big Brother you a chance to flirt!"
Wu Feng laughed, and there was no need to say some truths to spoil the scenery.
If he really wanted to, being a new groom every night wouldn't be a difficult thing.
In the Tong Lau next door, there were plenty of people who wanted to recommend themselves to the pillow.
Especially after Weng Hong succeeded, everyone was restless.
If it weren't for Wu Feng being busy recently and rarely staying overnight on Shanghai Street, someone would have already started acting.
Ding-a-ling...
Just when the two were whispering, the phone rang at an inopportune time.
"Hello, Qiu, what's the matter?"
"What, let me go to the ATV building? Well, I'll go over there now!"
Hanging up the phone, Wu Feng got up helplessly, "I don't know what Qiu could have for me at this time?"
Far East Bank changed hands, Qiu Degen was afraid he had many things to deal with.
You know, under his Far East Group, there were four major listed companies!
This stock market crash would definitely affect the entire Far East Group. Whether Qiu Degen had time to deal with ATV's affairs was hard to say; recently, contacts were all about things on the phone.
It was mainly to determine Wu Feng's attitude toward buying ATV; there was nothing else to say.
Wu Feng didn't want to sprinkle salt on people's wounds; this was very immoral.
"Hey, when did you get to know Qiu?"
Li Saifeng got up and followed, curious, "I haven't heard of it before!"
"Heh, I want to buy ATV, so naturally I have to communicate well with Qiu!"
Wu Feng opened his mouth dismissively, "Alright, you continue to rest, I'll go out for a trip, I will definitely come back tonight, don't wait for me to eat together!"
After speaking, he left without paying attention to Li Saifeng, who was dumbfounded. As for Li Saifeng, she was shocked by the sudden amazing news, and it took a long time for her to barely recover her calm. When she wanted to find Wu Feng to ask for the truth, he was long gone.
ATV building, the atmosphere here was quite depressing.
Ahem, it was about the same as the depressed atmosphere he encountered when patrolling the newspaper office in the morning.
Needless to say, many ATV employees must have encountered misfortune in the stock market crash.
This was not his own industry, so Wu Feng naturally wouldn't overstep his authority to say anything unpleasant; there was no need.
He went to the chairman's office smoothly and was startled when he saw Qiu Degen.
This old gentleman's complexion was quite bad, and he looked listless, clearly his recent days were not good, which was a huge blow to his body and mind.
"Qiu, take care of your health!"
Wu Feng kindly persuaded him, "Business failure can be started all over again; if the body has problems, it's hard to say. With the wealth Qiu has mastered, don't be too worried!"
"Thank you Wu for your kindness!"
Qiu Degen smiled bitterly, "There are too many things recently, and I have been involved in quite a lot of energy!"
"After things are handled properly, there's no need to be too worried!"
"That's good!"
Wu Feng chuckled, "Some things no one wants to happen, but since they happened, face them calmly!"
Some words were not easy to say; since he took a shortcut, he had to pay the corresponding price; there was nothing to say. Running a private bank in Hong Kong was not a simple thing.
Hang Seng Bank was much stronger than Far East Bank, didn't it also crash?
"Alright, let's not talk about my affairs!"
Qiu Degen was not an ordinary person and quickly adjusted his emotions, saying directly, "This time I invited Wu over, I want to talk about an unexpected event!"
"About ATV?"
Wu Feng asked directly, "Qiu, just say what you have to say, I have the confidence to handle the trouble!"
"Lin Bancheng wants to buy ATV shares!"
Qiu Degen said directly, "Before, the second son of the Lin family came over directly, and his attitude was very firm!"
"Oh, what is Qiu's opinion?"
Wu Feng understood in his heart, looking at Qiu Degen with burning eyes; he naturally understood what the key was.
In fact, he was not surprised at all that Lin Bancheng wanted to buy ATV shares.
Many rebirth entertainment novels he had read had detailed introductions about this.
The earlier the rebirth entertainment novels, the more detailed the introduction about the Lin family taking over ATV, and the second son of the Lin family also entered the Hong Kong entertainment circle from then on.
It was just that Lin Bancheng taking over ATV was in 1988; he didn't expect that there would be actions in 1987.
Thinking about it, it was understandable; after all, it involved hundreds of millions of funds, and it was impossible to just rush to the horse.
"Wu, I won't get involved in the affairs between you!"
Qiu Degen was very slippery, saying directly, "As for what the final result is, it depends on Wu's performance!"
"I understand!"
Wu Feng didn't talk nonsense and got up directly, "It won't be long before Qiu will know the result!"
Watching Wu Feng's back leave, Qiu Degen chuckled and didn't say anything.
This time, he naturally didn't think Wu Feng could compete with Lin Bancheng.
It was just that, because he had already promised Wu Feng before, and even signed an intention contract, he naturally wouldn't be a villain, so let Lin Bancheng be the villain.
Sitting in the modified minivan, Wu Feng fell into deep thought.
Suddenly facing Lin Bancheng, he didn't feel guilty, and there was no need to feel guilty.
In fact, the main purposes of the two sides buying ATV were fundamentally different, and there were many places to make articles inside.
Even, if it weren't for the second son of the Lin family having ideas, it was hard to say whether Lin Bancheng would be willing to buy the majority of ATV shares.
