Chapter 98: Sneaky people, he

Li Saifeng realized that Cheng Shilong was unwilling to accept his failure in Hollywood.

A very normal thought!

Ever since the failure of *The Protector*, the *Police Story* that Cheng Shilong filmed after returning to Hong Kong was a huge success, simultaneously pioneering the modern police action film and helping him find his own unique style.

At the beginning of the year, *Armour of God* achieved huge success once again!

And *Armour of God* also featured foreign actors, and the story was an adventure style leaning toward the West; it was clear he was still consciously trying to break into the European and American film markets.

As for whether he successfully sold the European and American copyrights, Li Saifeng didn't know.

Thinking back to her own company, it was indeed quite bizarre.

They clearly filmed low-budget movies, yet some of these films could easily sell their European and American copyrights, which was quite strange.

Of course, this was a sign of the boss's ability, and she felt a bit of reflected glory at this moment.

"Brother Long, are you trying to meet Wu Feng in private?"

Although there were only two people in the private room, Li Saifeng still deliberately lowered her voice when she said this.

"Yeah, can you help me pass a message?"

Cheng Shilong originally wanted to ask Li Saifeng to arrange it directly, but after thinking about it, he figured Li Saifeng probably didn't have that kind of face, so he lowered his requirements.

He was also unwilling to give up!

If it weren't for the sudden rise of Fengrui Film and Television Company, which could sell the copyrights of many films to Europe and America, it would be one thing. But with such things happening, someone like him with great ambition in film naturally couldn't look at it calmly.

What made it even harder for him to accept was that Yindu Institution and even Qiankun Film and Television were tagging along for the ride.

Never mind Yindu Institution, what the hell was Qiankun Film and Television?

It was just a film company opened by a triad big brother, yet the films they shot could also be sold to Europe and America. It was simply unreasonable; Cheng Shilong almost broke down when he first heard the news.

Those who can become superstars are naturally not fools!

Cheng Shilong thought about it from all angles and felt something was wrong, vaguely sensing that the strategy of the two Golden Harvest bosses might have gone wrong, but he couldn't say it directly.

After all, Golden Harvest had paid a considerable price to help him break into Hollywood.

Not only did they set up a branch in the United States, but they also invested a lot of real money to support him.

If he questioned them after enjoying the benefits without getting the desired results, it would look a bit like being an ingrate.

But he wanted to learn from Wu Feng, and if he couldn't contact him publicly, he could only contact him privately.

As long as he didn't let the two Golden Harvest bosses find out, there would naturally be no problem.

"If it's just passing a message, there shouldn't be a problem!"

Li Saifeng agreed directly; she felt that as long as the boss appeared, there would be a chance for her to help bridge the gap.

"Then many thanks!"

Cheng Shilong picked up his teacup and toasted Li Saifeng with tea instead of wine.

Li Saifeng was quite flattered, but felt even more full of emotion.

Her status in the film circle was vastly different from Cheng Shilong's, yet because her company was powerful, Cheng Shilong actually had to ask her for help; this feeling was quite wonderful.

By the time she left the teahouse, she was still in a daze.

As for Cheng Shilong, he didn't go home after leaving the teahouse; he had other arrangements for the evening.

As a result, he received a call from his godfather, He Guanchang, halfway there, telling him to go to the company tomorrow morning without fail.

When asked why, He Guanchang explained directly that Wu Feng, the boss of Fengrui Film and Television, was coming to discuss matters, and told him to come over to listen in; there might even be a possibility of cooperation.

Hanging up the mobile phone, Cheng Shilong was speechless for a long time.

He really didn't know that the two Golden Harvest bosses had already made an appointment to meet with Wu Feng, the boss of Fengrui Film and Television.

But thinking about it, it was understandable; wasn't he also feeling restless because of Wu Feng's success?

If the two bosses had invested so much real money and there was no reaction, they would have to be brain-damaged.

On the other side, Wu Feng had been staying at the film company to understand the situation, and only left satisfied after eating a meal in the canteen at lunchtime.

Speaking of which, every company under his command had an internal canteen.

It was considered a kind of employee benefit; he didn't know the situation at other companies, so he also required his subordinates not to publicize the internal canteen.

He didn't know if the film company's senior management had deliberately arranged it, but the food in the film company's internal canteen was quite good, not much worse than the restaurants outside.

Fortunately, the employees who were also eating in the canteen didn't show much surprise, so he just assumed that the food standard of the internal canteen here was just like that.

The only key requirement was not to waste it!

Of course, he also knew that the film company's strength was growing, and it was normal to spend more money on employees; who wouldn't want to eat better?

Because of the linkage model between novels and comics, plus strong overseas sales, the profit from every successful movie produced by the company could reach over five million.

Such revenue capability was already quite exaggerated, earning more than some so-called listed groups.

After leaving the film company, he took a car straight home, with no intention of wandering around.

Although outside, as the sky darkened, it was already a world of colorful lights.

Shanghai Street had once again entered its mode of debauchery.

Ahem, the captain of the bodyguards responsible for the security of the whole building, who was also Wu Feng's squad leader in the army, told him a situation that left him between laughter and tears.

Every night, many pretty girls wandered downstairs and nearby.

Among them were new female artists signed by the film company, but more were the emotional hotline operators from the nearby building.

That place was considered a collective dormitory, and many female employees of the affiliated companies had dorms there!

When they went out, they dressed up beautifully, even becoming a beautiful landscape in this area, attracting the attention of many triad scum and some tourists.

Of course, no one really dared to come over to seek death; a small female market had even slowly formed here.

If nothing else, the safety aspect was absolutely fine!

After hearing this, Wu Feng basically didn't go downstairs unless there was something important.

Regardless, before solving the trouble of the mastermind behind the scenes, he tried to minimize unnecessary outings.

This was being responsible for his own safety, and also responsible for the many underlings who followed him to make a living!

He was in a good mood today, so the retired soldiers responsible for sparring in the evening, as well as the good fighters among his underlings, had bad luck and were beaten black and blue, looking quite miserable.

No matter when, he never slacked off in improving his martial arts and combat effectiveness.

On the virtual screen of his Golden Finger, the health bar representing Military Hard Qigong had already exceeded eighty percent.

He didn't know why, but he seemed particularly suited to practicing Military Hard Qigong!

For over a year, he had been eating various tonics almost every day.

The old Chinese doctor he hired checked his body almost every week, and then fine-tuned the medicinal cuisine that was indispensable for every meal; it was truly spending money like water.

As far as he knew, his monthly food consumption costs alone were almost over fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars!

Fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars in 1987, and that was just for food ingredients; it was quite exaggerated.

If it were in those star-rated hotels, if they didn't prepare five hundred thousand worth of exquisite dishes with so many precious food materials, it would mean their hearts weren't black enough!

The effect was also quite obvious!

The progress bar of Military Hard Qigong had already exceeded eighty percent.

If divided according to the realms in novels, it had almost reached the Great Accomplishment realm, and the final sprint needed was the Consummation realm.

There were also the deliberately practiced Sanda and Muay Thai techniques, and their progress bars had also exceeded sixty percent!

This speed of progress was absolutely astonishing!

A full body check-up was done every three months, and the results proved that his body was excessively healthy.

It was just that Military Combat Arts were not easy to train, mainly because there were no opportunities for actual combat, so the speed of improvement was still too slow, and the progress bar hadn't exceeded fifty percent.

But even so, according to the elite fighters who sparred with him, if the Big Brother went to the Kowloon Walled City to hold the ring, he could probably hold it for ten rounds in one go, becoming an out-and-out ring hegemon!

In fact, he didn't blink when spending money on himself, and he was also quite generous to the bodyguards and close underlings around him, as well as the elite fighters he favored.

They didn't eat tonics every day like he did, but medicinal soup and medicinal cuisine were available every day.

The changes in the bodyguards around him were obvious; one by one, their bodies became stronger than when they first arrived, and their qualities in all aspects began to return to their peak in the army, and even began to surpass their peak state.

It was also because Wu Feng set a good example, plus the old squad leader supervised strictly, so the bodyguard group hadn't shown signs of being addicted to wine and women for the time being, and their combat effectiveness was improving rapidly.

It was not easy to strictly require the underlings; almost all of them were regulars at the nightclubs in their territory.

Wu Feng didn't intend to interfere, as long as their physical condition remained good; anyway, there were plenty of up-and-coming underlings waiting to move up!

After venting his vigorous energy, Wu Feng began to receive massage and relaxation from the old master in the massage room, while pondering some things in his mind.

After coming out of the massage room, he plunged into the warm small bath, and only then did he have a close underling bring him a mobile phone to call a certain underling.

"Hey, how is the situation over there? Did the target go to the nightclub to have fun?"

"What, the target is honestly staying at home and didn't go out to mess around with fox friends and dog companions!"

"Oh, so he was forced to stay at home; I was worried he had suddenly changed his nature!"

"Then keep watching; once the target can't help but go to the old place to have fun, remember to call and inform me immediately. If you delay my business, you'll see!"

Ending the call, he dialed another one.

"Hey, how is that old guy's situation? Is he still trying to get people out of the police station?"

"Hehe, tell that little manager not to let go easily. Tell him that as long as this matter is handled, his gambling debts in Macau will all be cleared by me!"

"What are you afraid of? The police station isn't opened by his family; delaying for a few days is no problem!"

"If it really doesn't work, just crash into that old guy's car and create a traffic accident, so that the old guy is too busy to care about other things; you can always do that, right?"

After speaking, he hung up the phone directly, his expression quite calm.
