The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 103 Boss, you are so nice to your female employees! (Subscribe)

When leaving Yindu Agency, Wu Feng had the urge to curse.

Although I know from many rebirth novels that some situations in Pengcheng during this era are quite bad.

But I didn't expect that the trouble would fall on me. How could I be so helpless?

Then I felt a little proud again. Now I know how powerful the veteran brother is!
Damn it, after going to Pengcheng, he will directly cut off the thoughts of some guys.

If he wants to make money, he can do it openly, and he will not be stingy with the necessary public relations expenses.

But if you want to play tricks like a club, I'm sorry, I won't accompany you.

It's just a minor fight now. If we really make him angry, he may completely side with the army.

After getting in the car, he ordered us to go directly to the newspaper office to check it out.

Since I'm going out, I might as well take a good look around and explain some things.

Sitting in the car, I still felt a little unhappy.

It seems that my influence on public opinion in Hong Kong is still not enough to deter certain guys.

The first thing he thought of was ATV. Now was a good time to acquire this TV station.

Of course, before that, you have to be fully prepared, otherwise it will be easy to fail.

When I arrived at the newspaper office, I asked about novels and comics.

Everything is normal at the newspaper office!
Serialized novels are as popular as ever, even squeezing out the living space of related content in other newspapers in Hong Kong!

When talking about this, newspaper manager Liu Wenxiang looked very proud and his tone could not help but get excited: "The mainland writers have strong writing skills, coupled with the wonderful and reasonable stories, they are quite attractive!"

"It's just that the newspaper has limited space. Otherwise, if they had published a few more pages of the novel, the circulation would have soared even higher, surpassing all other newspapers in Hong Kong!"

"Isn't there a monthly novel magazine?"

Wu Feng said with a smile: "Isn't that enough to deal with it?"

"Not enough, not enough. More and more manuscripts are coming in from the mainland!"

Liu Wenxiang said in distress, "Basically, the quality is very good. A monthly novel magazine is simply not enough!"

"Then let's break down the genres and publish a few more monthly novels!"

Wu Feng's heart moved, and he thought of the novel websites of later generations.

A hint of reminiscence unconsciously appeared on his face, and he chuckled as he explained, "For example, for a folklore series, we'd use a monthly folklore-themed novel!"

"If we have a series of ancient knight-errant novels, then we can create a monthly magazine of knight-errant novels, and so on!"

"Boss, if we do this, will it affect the sales of the monthly novel magazine?"

Liu Wenxiang worried, "I'm afraid some readers will only buy one type of monthly novel in the future!"

"Let's try it first and see the effect!"

Wu Feng had many ideas in his mind, but he didn't say them directly. It would be better to take it step by step.

"Didn't you say before that you have too many high-quality novel manuscripts and can't arrange them all?"

"Then publish a few more monthly novel magazines. Don't waste such a valuable resource!"

Wu Feng said calmly: "If the effect is good, then we will continue with this model!"

"Remember, it's best to stagger the release dates of various types of monthly novels!"

“I understand this!”

Liu Wenxiang nodded and smiled, "A monthly novel magazine costs 20 Hong Kong dollars, which is a bit stressful for some readers. If several copies are released at the same time, some readers really can't afford to buy them!"

"As long as you know what's in your mind!"

Wu Feng nodded with satisfaction: "I also plan to increase my efforts and solicit submissions from mainland writers!"

“Do we need to increase the intensity of soliciting submissions?”

Liu Wenxiang was taken aback and said subconsciously: "There are already a lot of manuscripts now, so there is no need for them!"

"Where is this?"

Wu Feng said with a smile, "The subject matter needs to be diversified. If there are too many novels of the same genre, it will easily cause readers to become fatigued and give up on reading!"

“We must constantly explore new topics to keep readers fresh!”

"For example, we can solicit submissions of historical legends from mainland writers. There are so many things we can write about!"

"If you feel it's inappropriate, you can also create a genre of official history stories, specifically telling stories from the Twenty-Four Histories and other official history in an interesting and vernacular way!"

"Is this okay?"

Liu Wenxiang felt that his brain was not enough, but he felt very powerful.

"Why doesn't it work?"

Wu Feng chuckled and said, "Let's talk about nothing else, just Tang Taizong Li Shimin. His personal story is quite legendary!"

"Ever since I started fighting for world domination, it's basically been one highlight moment after another. It's so refreshing!"

"And the founding emperors and the leaders of the revival of a dynasty in history, each of them has a legendary story. They don't need any embellishment, their stories themselves are very fascinating, okay!"

"It really is!"

Liu Wenxiang suddenly realized it and clapped his hands, saying, "Then we'll solicit submissions from mainland writers. The more the better!"

Seeing that the newspaper manager understood, Wu Feng didn't continue the topic. He looked around the editorial office, played a few games of table tennis in the recreation room, and then went to the manager's office to discuss other matters.

"Manager Liu, have you seen Yan Zi Li San's finished film?"

Wu Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip. He didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "What do you think?"

“I’ve seen it, it’s quite exciting!”

Liu Wenxiang flattered, "Compared to similar films from Hong Kong, these are far more exciting and enjoyable!"

"Well, then, you should gather a group of young editors, preferably those who like to play arcade games!"

Wu Feng didn't hesitate and directly ordered: "Have them write a simple game production outline based on the novel and movie plot, and send it to my newly opened game production company in a few days!"

"Oh, Takeo is also planning to develop an arcade game?"

Liu Wenxiang was a little surprised and asked curiously, "Are you not cooperating with VTech anymore?"

"There are other collaborative projects over there. 'Swallow Li San' is the first work of my game production company. Please don't let me down!"

Wu Feng bluntly put forward his requirements: "The rhythm must be tense and exciting, and it would be best if you could see and feel it from the outline. Is there any problem?"

"It's not a big problem!"

Liu Wenxiang laughed and said, "With novels and movies as templates, if you can't do this kind of copywriting work well, then there's no point staying here at the newspaper office and wasting food!"

"Okay, if we do well this time, the copywriting work for new game development will be handed over to the newspaper. If the arcade game is a success, the newspaper will also receive some credit!"

Wu Feng put down the empty teacup, finished talking and prepared to leave.

It's enough to show up at the newspaper office from time to time. There's no need to affect the normal work of the newspaper manager Liu Wenxiang because of your presence. Besides, this guy may not be happy about it.

However, Liu Wenxiang spoke up at this time: "Boss, there is something I want to hear your opinion on!"

"Oh, if you have anything else to say, just tell me!"

"Night Colors" is already quite influential. Recently, a clothing brand from Hong Kong Island approached us, hoping to hire the famous models featured in Night Colors to help promote their ads!"

"Advertise in the Evening Newspaper?"

"Yes, the price they offer is very tempting. One hundred thousand a month for advertising!"

"We're using the sales model. Is the other party willing to do this? And how much commission are they willing to give?"

"Well, they just want to pay the advertising endorsement fee directly, nothing else!"

"No, I don't want my employees to suffer any loss, and of course I don't expect to gain much benefit from them!"

Wu Feng pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "How about this? We can take this advertisement!"

"However, the other party must sell a certain amount of brand-name clothing to the advertising models at wholesale prices!"

"In this way, even if you make money by selling products in an alternative way, you must stick to this way!"

"Boss, you're too nice to those female employees!"

Liu Wenxiang smiled and joked, "If you didn't know, you'd think you were up to something!"

"Go to hell, am I that kind of person?"

Wu Feng cursed with laughter, and said unhappily: "If you can bring the goods, I won't stop you!"

After saying that, he patted his butt and left.

The reason for creating the sales model is just a means to retain talent.

The status of Hong Kong actresses is very embarrassing, as their fame and income are often not proportional.

Coupled with the influence of social trends, everyone just wants to marry into a wealthy family and live a leisurely life as a wealthy wife.

Whether it was Cherie Chung or Wang Zuxian, they both retired from the screen when they were still in their prime and very popular.

Wu Feng didn't want to comment on the choices of these actresses, he just felt that it was a huge waste of resources.

You have to know that these actresses were able to grow to the top level thanks to the high-quality films during the prosperous period of the Hong Kong film industry.

According to later generations, he had box office success, good looks, and representative works, and was definitely the backbone of the film industry.

As long as it doesn't die out, it will continue to be popular!
What Wu Feng does is to provide his female artists and even female employees with alternative income channels.

His power is limited at the moment, but when he enters the fast-moving consumer goods market one day, the ability of his female celebrities to sell goods will be highlighted, and they themselves will be able to make a fortune.

If they can make a lot of money continuously, how many actresses would give up such an opportunity?
Apart from anything else, the ability of the female artists under Fengrui Film and Television to sell products is average, and various ways of making money are still in the exploratory stage.

But even so, Wen Bixia, the number one actress of Fengrui Film and Television, is only a third-tier to second-tier actress, but because of her role in promoting products, her income is no worse than those top actresses.

It can even be said that in terms of stability and sustainability, her income level may be even higher.

If she comes across a movie that can fully demonstrate her own style, once it is released and sells goods, the revenue will be quite good, which will directly make her a millionaire.

At this time, even if a big film and television company tried to recruit her, she would not be easily tempted.

Newspaper manager Liu Wenxiang was naturally unaware of the many considerations involved. After the boss and his party left, he directly called the clients who wanted to advertise.

After a brief phone conversation, they quickly reached an agreement. After both legal counsel came forward to sign the contract, Liu Wenxiang made a phone call to Fengrui Films and the emotional hotline.

That’s right, the fashion models in the “Night Color” newspaper were basically divided between the two companies.

Most of the time, the female employees on the emotional hotline have the upper hand as they have a lot of free time.

Many people have amazing looks and figures!

Of course, the ones who have the greatest ability to bring in goods and make money are of course the female stars from film and television companies!
