Chapter 152: Wang Jing Can't Break the Rules Either! (Seeking subscriptions)

That night, water and milk blended!

The next day, Wu Feng was refreshed and got up early, taking his bodyguards and close underlings to complete the morning exercise.

The completion of the Military Hard Qigong on the Golden Finger interface was almost full.

If described by percentage, it was about 88 percent!

A few months of hard work, plus the effect of yin and yang, was quite obvious.

When eating breakfast, neither woman appeared.

He ate five people's portions in one go, which was considered seven or eight points full.

This is the sequelae that appeared after the Military Hard Qigong was completed, becoming a rice bucket.

No wonder in the army, it was rare to hear of anyone practicing to the realm of completion.

Damn, just this appetite, if not in the army, which ordinary family can afford it?

You know, the porridge drunk in the morning added quite a few medicinal herbs to replenish Qi and blood.

The rest of the breakfast was considered rich in nutrition, and the taste was quite good.

Just this breakfast, it couldn't be taken down for two or three hundred outside.

The consumption of lunch and dinner was even greater, and the daily food cost alone exceeded 1,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Not counting the chef and the medicinal cuisine master's wages.

"Poor literature, rich martial arts," this is really not just talk.

The bodyguards and close underlings around him also ate the same nutritious meals, but the appetite was much smaller compared to Wu Feng.

Going out and getting in the car, he first went to Fengrui Film Company.

Arriving at the place, one could clearly feel that the morale was high.

The eyes looking at him were filled with a bit more awe in respect!

"'Swallow Li San' Part 2 was a great success, and the ranger movies adapted from popular novels also had good box office results, and the horror movies had quite stable results!"

The person in charge of the film company was reporting the box office results of the company in the past few months.

After all, they are making movies, and they are still in the stage of "box office is king."

As for art films, Yindu Institution is the number one in Hong Kong.

"Recently, in the Novel Monthly, there have been several urban love stories with good quality. The company has planned to select one of them for adaptation and filming, and it is currently in the state of script adaptation!"

"Oh, have urban love novels appeared in the Novel Monthly?"

Wu Feng was a bit surprised and chuckled, "Remember to wait for the script to be finished and do communication and docking with the garment factory. It's best to plant advertisements in urban love movies, but don't do it too much!"

"The planning department already has a complete plan!"

The person in charge of the film company reported, "As for those urban love novels with good response, it is said that they are works by new writers in Hong Kong!"

"That's good!"

Wu Feng nodded in satisfaction. Urban love novels are a big hit in novel types.

The reason why he didn't solicit contributions from Mainland writers was mainly because the urban development level in the Mainland at that time had a clear gap with Hong Kong, and the things written probably wouldn't have a market in Hong Kong.

As for the novel writers in Hong Kong, those with some fame basically had long-term and stable cooperation with major newspapers, and poaching walls didn't necessarily have any gains.

In fact, the so-called local novel writers in Hong Kong didn't hate Wu Feng and the "Mong Kok News" and the later Novel Monthly to the bone, but it wasn't much different.

There was no other reason; Wu Feng's massive solicitation of contributions from Mainland writers affected their interests.

In the past, they could write whatever they wanted, and the manuscript fee was over 200 per thousand words, not to mention the royalty share after publication. The days were not too leisurely.

In fact, in the 1980s, Hong Kong produced quite a few writers who relied on writing to get rich.

They weren't tycoons, but their income was higher than the elite white-collar workers working in Central, and it was very easy to buy houses and cars.

But since Wu Feng solicited contributions from Mainland writers on a large scale, the competition in the novel market suddenly intensified.

The so-called writers in Hong Kong still had a gap with Mainland writers in terms of writing style and writing ability.

After all, Mainland writers were from serious literature, and without enough writing power and writing ability, it was very difficult to stand out.

Not to mention, Mainland writers could often participate in various writing training classes, all of which were top literary big shots as teachers, which Hong Kong writers couldn't match.

As long as the writing direction and writing points were clarified, the novels written by Mainland writers naturally had good standards, and Hong Kong readers liked them quite a bit.

Wu Feng chose folk fantasy, ancient ranger, etc., types that Mainland writers could transform smoothly, and the effect was naturally needless to say.

Then, Hong Kong novel readers were happy, but novel writers were passively rolled up.

Major newspapers were not doing charity. If novels written by so-called famous writers couldn't help newspapers stabilize readers or increase part of the sales, they would definitely be lowered in price.

Even, when they were invited to contribute, they were enthusiastic, and when they were abandoned, they were ruthless.

Because of this, Wu Feng had a very bad relationship with local writers in Hong Kong.

Fortunately, he wasn't mixing in the literary world, otherwise, he didn't know how many times he would be besieged.

Wu Feng also had self-knowledge, and his newspapers basically didn't solicit contributions from famous writers in Hong Kong.

Unexpectedly, there were fresh writers who submitted manuscripts to the newspaper, and they were published in the "Novel Monthly," having a certain heat and achievement.

"Just follow the past process, operate as it should be operated, don't deliberately raise or step on it, there is no need!"

"By the way, when will 'Swallow Li San' Part 3 start filming?"

Wu Feng asked curiously, "This is a key project of the company, it must be valued!"

"There is still half a month of preparation period, and we can go to the Mainland to film!"

The person in charge of the film company answered directly, "After the third part is filmed, the 'Swallow Li San' series will come to an end, and then we will start preparing for the 'Killer King' series!"

"'Killer King', it must be filmed well!"

Wu Feng urged solemnly, "If it's filmed well, it might be the most classic movie of our company!"

It's really not a joke!

To be able to deter the high-level officials of the Republic of China with the status of a killer, no matter how much you praise it, it's not an exaggeration.

Later generations don't know the reason, and only novels reborn in the Republic of China have special introductions for the Killer King, as for film and television dramas, there are almost none.

This one has more legendary color than any Huo Yuanjia or Ye Wen.

"Rest assured, Master Wu, in order to write a good script for 'Killer King', the company's office in the Mainland specially invited some folk history experts to participate!"

The person in charge of the film company affirmed, "I have contacted the newspaper, and it is still the old routine, first accumulate heat in the newspaper, and when the script is finished, I will ask Master Wu for pointers!"

Wu Feng nodded in satisfaction. This is the attitude he wants, not self-righteousness.

"Master Wu, a director named Wang Jing wants to join our company!"

Seeing that Wu Feng was in a good mood, the person in charge of the film company spoke, "This director previously filmed movies for Shaw Brothers and has already filmed several movies with quite good box office results. He is very capable!"

"Such a director with achievements shouldn't be short of a home, right?"

Wu Feng asked curiously, "How did you think of defecting to Fengrui Film?"

"This..."

The person in charge of the film company hesitated, but still explained honestly, "There is a film company opened by the society that wants to sign a contract with him forcibly, and Director Wang is not willing!"

"If you go to Golden Harvest, that side is not too valued. After all, Director Wang doesn't have a movie work with a box office of 20 million, and at most they will support him in opening a branch!"

"Not to mention Cinema City, there are already many directors, and Director Wang is not valued when he goes there!"

"The situation with D&B is similar, and that rich second-generation boss may not be willing to help him resist things!"

"On the Yindu side, Director Wang doesn't want to participate in the struggle between left and right!"

"That is, our side and Master Li's Qiankun Film Company are suitable!"

"Then sign him!"

Wu Feng waved his hand, "As long as you act according to the company's regulations, everything is easy to talk about!"

Wang Jing is indeed a good commercial director, and he is about to enter his creative peak.

It's just that his problems are also relatively serious, that is, he is too "shit, urine, fart."

It's not to say that filming movies like this is bad, but there is a quite obvious cultural barrier.

Except for the Chinese circle, his movies can't be sold elsewhere.

The movies produced by Fengrui Film basically cannot be normally released in Taiwan.

Of course, the situation may change by 1988.

Of course, even if it can enter that market, the simple movie box office share is at most 20 to 30 million Taiwan dollars, which is only 5 to 8 million Hong Kong dollars.

Damn, it's not as profitable as him thinking of ways to sell videotapes all over Southeast Asia.

It has opened up the niche European and American market through folk fantasy movies, and the subsequent horror movies also have a market, and even the Republic of China ranger movies under the banner of kung fu movies have a certain market for selling videotapes.

What is earned in Europe and America is all green dollars!

Coupled with the Southeast Asian videotape market that has been completely opened up, to be honest, Wu Feng is not so urgent about Wang Jing's joining.

Fengrui company has its own filming process, basically taking the script as the core.

For directors, the requirement is that the basic skills are solid and they can honestly complete all the content of the script.

In this way, the choice is very wide, and it is not so thirsty for big directors.

It is a surprise to have big directors join, but it doesn't affect the company's filming plan if there is none.

"Director Wang has his own ideas, and he already has a script and filming plan!"

The person in charge of the film company whispered, "He wants to meet Master Wu!"

"Oh, there's no need to meet!"

Wu Feng waved his hand and smiled, "Just follow the company's process, let him finish the script first!"

"The company's screenwriting department will help expand it into a novel and publish it directly to see the effect!"

Seeing that the person in charge of the company was still hesitant, he said irritably, "That's it!"

"Rules are rules, don't always want to open a back door because the other party is a director with achievements. There is no such need. As a company person in charge, you have to be domineering!"

After saying this, Wu Feng wandered around the company and left.

It was getting late, and he had already made an appointment with Han Bin to treat him to a meal, which was considered a celebration.

As for Wang Jing's matter, he didn't take it too much to heart. It was still that sentence: "I am the master!"
