Chapter 45: A Great Opportunity to Earn Dollars! (Seeking Reads)

Long Gen's eyes flashed with fierce light, coldly saying: "Since Wu Feng is so hard to deal with, then find a way to take him out!"

"Boss, don't be impulsive!"

Guanzaisen was startled, hurriedly persuading: "It's not that easy to take out Wu Feng!"

Meeting the boss's unhappy gaze, he had to bite the bullet and explain: "That guy is very cautious. Even when he is active in his own territory, he brings four fighters with him at any time!"

"Whenever he goes out, he brings at least six fighters. Even if you send knife-wielders, it's not easy to surround and kill him, and you might even be counter-killed!"

Regarding Wu Feng's martial prowess, Guanzaisen still had lingering fears.

Until now, every time he woke up from a nightmare, he could clearly remember the sharp military stiletto in the nightmare.

Once the encirclement and killing failed, the first one to be unlucky would be himself.

Guanzaisen didn't want to face such a sinister situation; that would kill people.

Seeing the boss's eyes becoming more and more unkind, he hurriedly said: "Besides, Wu Feng is quite good at making money!"

"We have already earned quite a bit by cooperating with him, and maybe we can earn even more in the future. There is no need to cut off our own wealth. Since that kid already has enough strength, then we should just focus on win-win cooperation!"

Hearing the explanation, Long Gen's face eased, and he nodded slightly to show approval.

In fact, if it weren't for the last resort, he didn't want to completely fall out with Wu Feng.

"Boss, there is one more thing we have to guard against!"

Guanzaisen breathed a sigh of relief, then continued: "The reason I rushed to find Wu Feng was because I heard a piece of news: Hong Hing's Jing Kun went to him!"

"Hong Hing's Jing Kun?"

Long Gen's face became a bit ugly, unhappy: "What is he looking for him for?"

"That kid Wu Feng said that Jing Kun wants to open a film and television company to film movies to earn money!"

Guanzaisen said: "Regardless of whether it's true or not, that kid Wu Feng has already hooked up with Jing Kun. Once we have a mistake here, maybe that kid will go to cooperate with Jing Kun!"

"Humph, then tell that kid Wu Feng that Wo Shing will move soon!"

Long Gen was depressed in his heart, unhappy: "Isn't it just selling videotapes all over Southeast Asia? Wo Shing still has such strength and channels, tell him not to worry!"

Guanzaisen nodded repeatedly, but secretly slandered in his heart: Wouldn't everything be fine if you did this earlier? You had to toss around, but the result was that I was the one who got angry!

The next day, Wu Feng received the good news from Guanzaisen.

His mood was immediately great, and there were a few more smiles on his face. But in his heart, he understood the mode of dealing with other societies even more: no matter what, absolutely don't be cowardly!

First, he went to the newspaper office. The Mainland sent nearly ten more novels. Among them were ranger biographies and folk strange stories. Rarely, there was also a good soft science fiction novel.

Wu Feng didn't read them personally this time, fully trusting the newspaper editors: "As long as the quality meets the standard, accept them all, and then serialize them one by one according to the planned schedule!"

With the experience he personally operated before, the subsequent novel serialization, as well as the linkage of book and comic publishing, had already formed a rough process.

And he linked the results of novel serialization, subsequent book and comic publishing, and film release to the editors' income. He didn't believe they would still dare to be perfunctory.

Although Wu Feng hadn't run an enterprise in his later life, he also knew that just drawing a "big pie" (empty promises) wouldn't work; there had to be supporting wages and reward and punishment measures so that the enthusiasm of company employees and teams could be maintained.

In addition to delegating power, he also gave newspaper manager Liu Wenxiang a few short horror stories.

In fact, it was the result summarized according to the experience of related film and television dramas in later generations: the mode of three companions camping in the wild could be extended into stories of many different types.

Danger in the wild, danger on a desert island, danger in school, etc. —all could be filled in.

Wu Feng's idea was simple: try the entertainment linkage first to see the effect. After all, pure horror films still had some market in Hong Kong.

Always filming folk suspense themes, he was afraid it would easily cause audience viewing fatigue.

There were many types of low-budget films, all of which could be tried.

There were also detective, romance, comedy, etc. Use the novel linkage mode to explore the path first, and then film them for release; at least there was already a certain audience foundation.

Coming out of the newspaper office, he immediately rushed to the Yindu Institution and talked about his thoughts with Chairman Liao.

"It is indeed necessary to open up more types of films. I was worried before that Wusheng would go down one road to the end!"

Chairman Liao smiled lightly: "It seems Wusheng has a count in his heart, so I can rest assured!"

"Regardless, it's best to ensure one film release per month!"

Wu Feng said directly: "The cost doesn't need to be too high. As long as the filming isn't too rotten, with the novel linkage mode for prior promotion, there will always be some audience, and at least losing money is unlikely!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, he couldn't help but change the subject: "In fact, I came here this time to calculate with Liao Lao about sending those two thriller suspense films to foreign countries to participate in film festivals!"

"Hmm, participating in foreign film festivals, what are you thinking, Wusheng?"

Chairman Liao was startled, subconsciously asking: "Participating in which film festival? I'm afraid it's very difficult to win an award, right?"

"On the contrary, I think the chance of winning an award is not small!"

Wu Feng said confidently: "Of course, it's not participating in the three major European film festivals, and there's no need for that!"

"The reason for participating in foreign film festivals is naturally to sell the film's copyright to earn money!"

He had seen the introduction in a Hong Kong entertainment novel he read in his previous life; otherwise, Wu Feng really wouldn't know the tricks inside, and wouldn't even know the names of those foreign film festivals.

"Then, then which foreign film festival do you want to participate in?"

Chairman Liao was clearly still in a state of shock, his face revealing a very subtle expression, still trying to ask in a normal tone.

"Participate in two foreign film festivals in total!"

Wu Feng said without hesitation: "One is the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival in Belgium, and the other is the Sundance Film Festival in the United States!"

"They have a common feature, which is that they were just founded a few years ago!"

Speaking of this, Wu Feng immediately got into the spirit and talked eloquently: "Because the two film festivals were just founded not long ago, it is exactly the time when they need external affirmation and recognition!"

"As long as our film has no problems, not to mention winning a big award, at least a small award is indispensable!"

"For the two film festivals, what we send is still a foreign film, so they have to pay more attention!"

Seeing Chairman Liao listening with relish, his interest in speaking was also much higher: "Don't think that foreigners don't like vanity. In fact, they are more direct than our countrymen!"

"After all, in foreign countries, film festivals are also a business. Only when the influence is expanded, and even recognized by foreign peers, can this business harvest greater benefits!"

"Not only that, at this moment, the Mainland and the United States are in a close relationship, and the Sundance Film Festival organizing committee will more or less consider this factor. The possibility of winning an award in the United States is even greater!"

"As long as the film wins an award, there will definitely be film merchants taking the initiative to buy it. And the film we sell is still an Eastern horror suspense film; I'm afraid foreigners have a curious psychology to watch it!"

"Just the beautiful natural scenery of the Northeast and Qinling is enough for the Americans to be worth the ticket price!"
