Chapter 203: Unexpected Changes! (Please Subscribe)

Wu Feng did not know just how conflicted and frustrated he had made Guanzaisen with those instructions.

A group of rich young masters with their noses in the air was not so easy to befriend.

Fortunately, looking at the current situation, he had done quite well.

At the very least, when Lin Ershao left the nightclub, the expression on his face was quite satisfied.

He even indicated that he would come back to hang out if he had free time.

For Guanzaisen, this was already enough.

As for Wu Feng, he received a call from Chen Yao, asking him to go to the main hall for an emergency meeting.

Had something happened to the organization?

After hanging up the phone, he sensed something was wrong immediately.

Ever since Jiang Tiansheng implemented the District Representative System in Hung Hing, they basically only gathered to exchange ideas with the various District Leaders when submitting their monthly accounts.

At other times, unless it involved major affairs of the organization, they generally wouldn't call people in.

Word was that this guy had been getting cozy with the top brass of the Football Association lately; how could he have the heart to deal with organizational matters?

Wu Feng guessed that Jiang Tiansheng showed signs of entering the football circle directly.

Regarding this, he was quite supportive.

How should he put it? If Jiang Tiansheng held the status of a Sports Tycoon, it would be a good thing for the entire Hung Hing, and naturally, it would be a good thing for Wu Feng as well.

He did not call anyone to ask what had happened, but instead took a car directly to the main hall.

"Yo, Feng Zai, where have you been hanging out lately? Why haven't you shown your face in such a long time?"

In the parking lot of the Hung Hing main hall, he happened to run into that guy Jing Kun.

"There's a pile of stuff going on at the TV station!"

Wu Feng said with a laugh: "It's you, Brother Kun, who has been looking quite proud and successful lately!"

That guy Jing Kun had been hooking up with Feilao Li, constantly drifting around various places in Southeast Asia recently.

He had heard that this guy was very popular with the local kingpins all over Southeast Asia.

"Heh, just out running business!"

Jing Kun looked proud and chuckled: "Feilao Li's film company has already started producing films, so naturally I have to take him around to get acquainted and pay respects, otherwise how would the videotapes sell?"

"Oh, how are the results?"

Wu Feng asked curiously: "What's the quality of the films Feilao Li is shooting?"

"With me, Jing Kun, on the job, how could things not get done?"

Jing Kun boasted a bit first, then said smugly: "Feilao Li's taste can only be considered average; making a little pocket money is no problem, but if he wants to make big money, the films he's shooting over there won't cut it!"

"Brother Kun, you're getting carried away!"

Wu Feng said with a grin: "Being able to sell films to Southeast Asia brings in at least hundreds of thousands in revenue; that's not exactly 'small pocket money' for Feilao Li!"

"Heh, with his little business, what big money could he possibly make?"

Jing Kun curled his lip: "He puts out a smut magazine and actually has to go around the streets tricking pretty girls!"

"If he really got lucky and made some pretty girl famous, but his methods couldn't keep a grip on her, wouldn't he just be making small change?"

"That's already quite good!"

Wu Feng laughed: "If Feilao Li set up a chain of videotape screening parlors in Beijiao, even just selling his own productions, his monthly income wouldn't be low!"

"His situation is very well-suited for doing that!"

"You kid, keep such good ideas to yourself!"

Jing Kun's eyes lit up, and he said testily: "Don't let Feilao Li hear it easily. If this guy doesn't pay a sufficient price, don't just open your mouth!"

"What, Brother Kun, aren't you taking Feilao Li along to get rich?"

Wu Feng understood in his heart and said with a smile: "Doing it this way has a bit of a 'use him and toss him' vibe!"

"You kid are still too young!"

Jing Kun laughed: "What kind of thing is Feilao Li? Just an old gangster, that's all!"

"I'm willing to take him along to get rich; that's me thinking highly of him, a sign of patronage!"

"In the future, Feilao Li has to follow my lead in the underworld, otherwise he's just an ungrateful wretch. How else would he be able to hang around in the underworld later?"

"The suggestion you just made is definitely a stable path to wealth for Feilao Li!"

"For an idea like that, you definitely have to extract enough benefits from Feilao Li, otherwise wouldn't you just be letting him off for nothing? You kid, keep your wits about you!"

"Haha, Brother Kun is still as loyal as ever!"

Wu Feng laughed, feeling quite good, and teased: "You've really got the air of a Big Brother of the underworld!"

"What kind of relationship do we have, brother?"

Jing Kun gave a wicked laugh: "Even though I've already extinguished the thought of climbing any higher in the organization, my influence and strength can't be weak, right? I still need to have some subordinates and supporters!"

Watching Jing Kun talk so eloquently, Wu Feng felt very moved.

The Jing Kun of this moment was becoming more and more different from the one in the movie.

This guy was already doing quite well in the Hong Kong underworld.

Now with the added status of a film tycoon, his mindset and aura were different again!

Just from those words earlier, one could tell he could easily manipulate a Hung Hing peer like Feilao Li.

In the movie, even the Jing Kun at his peak couldn't do that.

Chatting and laughing, the two arrived at the large conference hall.

By this time, several District Leaders had already arrived.

Seeing the two, they greeted them warmly one after another; even Xingshu, the Tuen Mun District Leader, was no exception.

There was no helping it; Wu Feng was Hung Hing's bona fide god of wealth, so they had to be polite.

Recently, not only has the television station under Wu Feng's command been in the limelight, but he himself has also become a regular in financial newspapers.

There is no helping it; the first version of the *Arcade Game* for *Ong-Bak* was simply too explosive.

Even Lin Dashao, who acts as an *Arcade Machine* trader, can earn hundreds of millions in wealth, let alone Wu Feng, the big Boss behind the scenes.

Relying solely on the research, development, and sale of *Arcade Machines*, Wu Feng has directly become a famous up-and-coming tycoon in Hong Kong.

What is this if not a bona fide legend of wealth?

Moreover, unlike those old-money tycoons, Wu Feng's current wave of fame and success relies entirely on new technology and a new track, which is different from the real estate and finance that old-money tycoons love to play with.

At present, it is an era where Hong Kong's manufacturing industry is in a full-scale ebb; Wu Feng's rapid rise and his means of accumulating astonishing wealth in a short period are simply too eye-catching.

Even the financial newspapers are more willing to report on it.

After all, the track on which Wu Feng accumulates wealth is indeed attractive when reported.

Not only that, but influenced by this, several newly established game production companies have already appeared in Hong Kong.

It just so happens that Hong Kong's library of kung fu films is well-stocked, and it is even a unique existence when looking at the whole world.

There is no shortage of story material for *Arcade Games*; as long as the technology is sufficient and one is willing to invest money, it is not difficult to develop new *Arcade Games*.

It is said that even those old-money tycoon families have quietly gotten involved.

*Arcade Game* development is definitely a new track for making money!

For university students in relevant majors, this is an absolute major boon!

In fact, the number of universities in Hong Kong itself is high, and the number of university graduates each year does not match the demand at all.

Not every university graduate can become a white-collar worker in Central.

Besides, many university graduates in technical majors may not necessarily adapt to white-collar work.

The emergence of a new field can benefit a wide range of aspects.

For example, the film and television industry is a direct beneficiary!

It is said that the number of kung fu films recently launched shows a trend of explosive growth.

With the capabilities of Hong Kong film practitioners at this time, they might just be able to film a few high-quality kung fu movies that did not appear in the previous life.

As long as the box office results are good, producing an *Arcade Game* based on the story prototype is a huge profit.

Golden Harvest Company and Golden Princess successively launched the *Dragon Brother Tiger Brother* and *City on Fire* arcade games of the same name; although sales cannot be called explosive, a volume of several thousand units is not lacking.

Several thousand *Arcade Machines* means tens of millions in profits.

Even if they have to split the profits with the R&D company, Golden Harvest Company and Golden Princess still get tens of millions in profit.

What is this if not a newly excavated big gold mine?

If they also had the channels to sell the two *Arcade Games* to Europe and America, the revenue might even exceed one hundred million.

What kind of concept is this?

How many blockbuster movies would they have to film to earn such astonishing profits?

It is said that John Woo has already become the most awesome director at Cinema City.

Who told him he could film gunfight movies, and film them quite well at that?

At this time, John Woo is directly coordinating with Boss Lei of Golden Princess.

In addition, directors with the ability to film high-quality action movies have suddenly become hot commodities.

Like those stuntman troupes, their value has recently skyrocketed and they are receiving non-stop film offers.

Even the movies filmed by Cheng Shilong have been affected and disturbed!

That is a profit of at least tens of millions; who wouldn't be jealous upon seeing that?

It is heard that even Shao Liushu, who has already closed the Shaw Brothers Studio, has the heart and thoughts to get involved.

The Shaw Brothers film library is too vast; there must be movies suitable for adaptation into *Arcade Games*!

It can be said that Wu Feng's tossing and turning has directly made the Hong Kong film industry even more flourishing and prosperous.

Involving astonishing profits in the tens of millions, even those old-money tycoon families who have always been high and mighty have to look at the action stars in the film and television circle with new eyes.

As long as they can help them make money, they will naturally restrain their arrogant posture.

Not to mention that Hong Kong action superstars like Cheng Shilong and Hong Xinbao now have ways to monetize their huge fame.

As long as they possess enough copyright for their works, they can easily enter the ranks of billionaires.

When wealth reaches this level, in a place like Hong Kong, one's status and position naturally rise with the tide.

Wu Feng has heard very little recently of terms like "actors are of the lowest social class."

Even female stars have followed suit and eaten a wave of dividends!

For example, D&B launched the quite famous first part of *Royal* Madam this year!

The box office results were quite good, directly promoting Yang Ziqiong to the ranks of first-line female stars.

Originally, that Master Pan only wanted to promote his girlfriend and incidentally advertise his company's luxury goods, but the result was that *Royal* Madam was too successful, and he immediately started throwing money to create an *Arcade Game* of the same name.

If one speaks of the biggest move, it is naturally Golden Harvest Company, which saw the trend.

In the entire Hong Kong film and television circle, except for the Shaw Brothers which has stopped production, the one that films kung fu movies most successfully and possesses the copyright to numerous high-quality kung fu films is Golden Harvest Company.

D&B has *Royal* Madam, while Golden Harvest Company has *The Inspector Wears Skirts*!

Cinema City has *A Better Tomorrow*, and Golden Harvest Company has the "Armour of God series"!

Looking at this posture, the "Armour of God series," which only filmed two parts in the original timeline, is estimated to be filmed as a long-term series; otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of the big brand "Asian Flying Eagle"?

The explosive popularity of *Ong-Bak* has made the two bosses of Golden Harvest Company restless.

Cheng Shilong, along with a group of fellow disciples, filmed Republic-era kung fu movies; by integrating them, they could really create a fighting game similar to *Ong-Bak*.

Hong Xinbao, whose career had already begun to go downhill because of filming *Eastern Condors*, is now also focused on game development for copyrighted works.

In short, the current Hong Kong film circle is quite restless.

Such a situation has left the Taiwan film distributors, who have just been untied, quite confused.

In fact, the true golden age of Hong Kong cinema only began with the massive influx of Taiwan film distributors into Hong Kong; those who know, know.

But the current situation is very different; while the abundant capital brought by Taiwan film distributors is attractive, it is not yet as crazy as it was in the original history.

At the very least, major companies like Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, and D&B Films would never share the profits of their key projects.

In fact, the representatives of the golden age of Hong Kong cinema are those top film companies and their films.

As long as they don't run into problems and possess sufficient sources of profit, the golden age of Hong Kong cinema will not fluctuate violently due to the large-scale entry and exit of Taiwan capital.

Are you kidding me?

Even if helping to launder money, how much can one film really earn?

But if a high-quality film is produced, not to mention the box office revenue itself, the returns would be quite astonishing if it were successfully adapted into an Arcade Game.

When that time comes, would one have to share the money with the Taiwan film distributors who have investment shares?

Such a good thing? Don't even think about it!

If things go wrong, the relevant professional talent from Taiwan might even be headhunted with high salaries to come work in Hong Kong; such a thing is not impossible to happen.

A greater possibility is that the relevant practitioners from Taiwan become Arcade Machine R&D subcontractors for the numerous film and television companies in Hong Kong, which would be very interesting.

Not only was the film and television circle greatly affected, but the various Spokespersons of Hung Hing also received obvious benefits.

How should I put it? It's just that the arcade business under their control is quite booming.

Even Hong Kong has become the Arcade Game center of East Asia.

That is not an exaggeration at all!

The economic scale of Hong Kong itself is set there, and coupled with the fact that there are indeed too many triads, the density of arcade halls is quite exaggerated; plus, the frequently appearing new Arcade Games have attracted many enthusiasts from Macau, Taiwan, and even Japan and South Korea.

The various District Leaders of Hung Hing had long since witnessed Wu Feng's money-making methods.

Therefore, they were also the first to lay out plans and follow the trend; right now, the arcade halls in their territories are all cash cows in their hands, so how could they not value them?

Wu Feng, the originator of all this, is naturally highly respected.

Seriously speechless, I went for a physical exam and was fine, but my little nephew who followed me caught a cold and fever at the hospital, which then quickly turned into early-stage pneumonia.
