Chapter 68: Jing Kun: I'm too excited, I can't control my body!

The celebration parties in the Hong Kong film circle have not yet reached the flashy, over-the-top levels they would later attain.

There is no red carpet and no fans cheering; guests simply sign in and head straight into the banquet hall.

This is the ground floor of a four-star hotel, currently set up as the venue for the celebration party.

Wu Feng enters with Jing Kun and Wen Bixia, drawing the attention of the guests who arrived earlier.

After all, the two horror-thriller films recently released by Fengrui Film and Television have had quite good box office results.

As the boss of Fengrui Film and Television, he is naturally worth some attention.

"Haha, Wusheng, you've arrived so early!"

Chairman Liao apologizes to the guests beside him and strides over to Wu Feng, his face glowing and his spirit high; anyone who isn't a fool can see he is in an excellent mood.

"It's a celebration party, arriving a little early is nothing!"

Wu Feng chuckles, then points to the somewhat reserved Jing Kun and says, "This is Mr. Li Qiankun, boss of Qiankun Film and Television Company; he recently shot a realistic-themed film of considerable quality!"

"Oh, hello Mr. Li!"

Chairman Liao shakes hands with Jing Kun while asking curiously, "For a film to be praised by Wusheng as having quality, it must be quite extraordinary. I wonder what it's about?"

Jing Kun is truly flattered and rushes to say, "Wasn't there a very famous 'Liangmei Zai' in '82? I followed the suggestion of Feng—of Wusheng—and shot a similar type of film called 'Guyai Zai'!"

"I hired the director of 'Liangmei Zai' to film it, and it was basically produced based on certain real-life situations that occurred, after some adaptation!"

"Very good!"

Chairman Liao's eyes light up, and he nods with a smile, "The Hong Kong film circle needs fresh blood like Mr. Li to join. If possible, the Shuangnan Circuit will strongly support its release!"

Looking across all of Hong Kong, the only film production company that has consistently supported realistic-themed films is actually Silver City Institution; some things are just that absurd.

As a state-owned enterprise, besides making money, they also have other social responsibilities.

Supporting realistic-themed films can be considered one of the tasks of Silver City Institution.

As for Li Qiankun's triad status, Chairman Liao is of course aware of it. When investigating the details of Wu Feng, he naturally wouldn't miss the fact that he is a Mong Kok Hall Master of Hong Xing.

Although he feels nothing about it, he doesn't show it; Hong Kong society is already firmly bound to the triads, which is an indisputable fact, and there is nothing to say about it.

"Definitely, definitely, I was just planning to send the film to the Shuangnan Circuit!"

Jing Kun is very excited, his body seemingly trembling, and he says hurriedly, "I ask for Chairman Liao's kind guidance!"

Wen Bixia, standing to the side, is somewhat surprised, not understanding why Jing Kun's performance is so pathetic.

The first time she met Chairman Liao was during the pre-release period of the first horror film shot by Fengrui Film and Television, when she came to Silver City Institution to preview the film and discuss theater screening schedules.

The other party had very kindly encouraged her to work hard at making movies, saying that Silver City and Fengrui Film and Television both had many projects, so she would have many opportunities.

How could Wen Bixia know that Chairman Liao's status is not simple; it is just that her level is not high enough.

Watching Chairman Liao leave, Jing Kun says with a glowing face, "Feng Zai, I know now why Mr. Jiang likes hearing people call him Mr. Jiang!"

Just now, Chairman Liao's address of 'Mr. Li' gave him a feeling of floating on air.

It was as if his status and position had suddenly stepped into the upper-class circles he could only look up to before.

As for his performance just now, it can only be said to be quite normal.

Jing Kun is, after all, one of the capable Hall Masters of Hong Xing and knows a bit about the situation of the upper class.

Yet, even in Hong Kong's upper society, Chairman Liao is a very prominent figure.

To say nothing else, the New Year cocktail party held annually by the Mainland representative office in Hong Kong is attended even by the Governor.

Chairman Liao is not only able to participate in the cocktail party every year, but he can also easily strike up a conversation with the Governor!

In Jing Kun's eyes, this is an out-and-out big shot!

Right now, he has the opportunity to shake hands and talk with Chairman Liao, and even discuss film business; his mood is naturally very excited, to the point where he almost couldn't control himself.

Sure enough, entering the film circle is a very wise choice!

Don't look at Jiang Tiansheng as the Dragon Head of Hong Xing; he is not qualified to attend this celebration party.

Thinking of this, Jing Kun cannot help but feel another wave of excitement, and he makes up his mind to firmly bind himself to this guy Wu Feng; he really is an out-and-out lucky star.

"Once your film achieves results, there will be plenty of such opportunities in the future!"

Wu Feng smiles lightly and scans the banquet hall.

It must be said that Silver City Institution has been away from the mainstream of the film circle for a bit too long; among the guests who have arrived, there is not a single heavyweight Big Brother.

Cinema City and Golden Harvest only sent managers; not a single core member has arrived.

Of course, Silver City Institution has been in the spotlight recently, so there are quite a few film industry practitioners attending the celebration party, and some small and medium-sized film company bosses have come in person.

A scene like this is already good enough.

If this were half a year ago, Silver City Institution wouldn't have been able to invite so many relevant guests at all.

He soon spots Liang Yingdi and walks straight over to extend an invitation.

"Sorry, Wusheng, I have already signed with Silver City Institution!"

Liang Yingdi says apologetically, "I can only fail Wusheng's kind favor!"

At this time, he has already become the designated male lead for Silver City Institution.

In just over half a year, he has shot nearly four films in one go.

Although they were all low-budget films, they all had quite good box office results.

His fame and influence have naturally expanded rapidly, and he has become a well-known male star in Hong Kong.

Additionally, in the first urban horror film Wen Bixia shot at Fengrui Film and Television, the male lead was still him; he really is a face-grinder.

"No worries, no worries. With the relationship between Fengrui Film and Television and Silver City Institution, it's the same wherever you are!"

Wu Feng laughs, not taking it too much to heart; the fact is indeed so.

As long as there are no scheduling conflicts, it is very easy to borrow people.

As for the management contracts of Hong Kong film stars, it's not that he has zero interest, but his interest is truly not great.

What Wu Feng truly values is their ability to drive traffic!

For a low-budget film, unless the lead is a star with Great Accomplishment like Stephen Chow, there is a box office ceiling.

As for medium-to-high budget films, the risk is even greater.

It is not that they shouldn't be made, but before filming, one must maximize the means of profitability.

If one really wants to make money from the box office, one must at least have their own cinema chain!

At this moment, his gaze had already shifted to Liang Xiaolong beside him.

That's right, it is that martial arts expert who filmed "Fearless" and "Chen Zhen".

Although he is not tall, just standing there gives people a sense of toughness.

Wu Feng's own strength is very high, so his perception of this was even more obvious.

"Mr. Liang, are you interested in joining Fengrui Film and Television?"
