The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 217 It’s not over yet!

Wang Jing was a little confused and didn't understand why the boss suddenly summoned him.

He was still quite in awe of the big boss.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the big boss in the company always smiles at everyone, appears to be very good-tempered and easy to talk to, but anyone who takes him seriously is a fool.

He had been hanging out on the Shaw Brothers studio since he was a child, and had met Uncle Shaw. With his father's advice, he naturally understood that real bosses like Big Boss were extremely scheming.

When a big boss smiles at you, it means he thinks highly of you.

But if you don't know what's good for you and try to get ahead of others, you'll be asking for trouble.

Wang Jing is quite satisfied with his current life.

The company is not under much pressure and is not required to shoot a certain number of films or generate a certain amount of profit.

Of course, the minimum requirement of one film per year is still necessary.

He has not been in the company long, but he has basically never stopped filming.

Basically, he achieved the goal of making every department profitable, and of course his own income was not low.

With the normal director's fee and the red envelopes received in the later stages, it's easy to become a multi-millionaire within a year.

The company is already quite generous. If it were other film and television companies, they would just give out 300,000 or 500,000 yuan. This is no joke.

The key is that the company is strong, protects the rights and interests of its employees, and does a good job in logistics and security.

Especially the latter point, which attracted the most attention and attention from Wang Jing!
Hong Kong's social societies have deeply infiltrated the film and television industry. Members of other companies have to negotiate with social society members at every turn, and if they are not careful, something bad may happen.

Having your pay deducted is the least of your worries. No one can stand being beaten or scolded.

It would be fine if he hadn't made it yet, but how could someone like Wang Jing, a film industry professional who has already made it, tolerate such humiliation?

Even for big companies like Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, the overall environment is pretty good, but when it comes to individuals, it's really hard to say.

Otherwise, why do we often hear news about the Cheng family or the Hong family confronting members of a certain society?
As for being threatened in private, there are more cases where people dare not say a word.

Fortunately, there are no such messy things on Fengrui Film and Television's side.

This is what makes Wang Jing most satisfied!

Hongxing still has a lot of face, and the boss's strength is obviously not to be underestimated.

The only bad thing is that the company’s rules are too strict!

Even artists are not allowed to easily attend occasions such as cocktail parties, which Wang Jing finds difficult to understand.

In other film and television companies, this is a very normal thing!

Of course, he didn't have the courage to ask the boss proactively, as this would give people the impression that he had bad intentions.

This also led to the company's female artists being very arrogant.

That is to say, during the filming of the movie, he was given a lot of face as the director.

But once the filming of a movie is completed, unless they continue to cooperate on the next movie, it is basically impossible to find their traces, and it is unrealistic to take any action.

He also likes pretty girls, okay!

After staying in the company for a long time, he finally understood some clues.

Female artists in the company do not necessarily have to make movies to earn huge profits.

The entertainment linkage system created by the big boss can make it easy for famous female artists to convert their own traffic into real Hong Kong dollars.

The varying profits from selling goods made even Wang Jing jealous.

There are also various peripheral products, and her music aspect is relatively poor. In other aspects, she really beats the female artists from other film and television companies, which is not an exaggeration at all.

Currently, the big boss also controls ATV, which can provide even greater help to the company’s artists.

Wang Jing also enjoyed watching beauty pageant programs organized by ATV.

I even figured out some of the flavors while watching the show.

In the future, artists who have just joined the company can first receive training in beauty pageants, and accumulate a certain amount of audience appeal and popularity. They will have good prospects when they shoot film and television dramas or directly sell goods in the future.

He had heard that those popular beauties in beauty pageants took advantage of their growing fame to make a lot of money just by selling goods.

Beer, drinks and posters with their portraits printed on them sold like hotcakes during the show's run.

With the success of the first episode, the subsequent programs only need to maintain popularity and heat. Isn’t it easy to create stars continuously?

Wang Jing was quite impressed by the boss's methods.

I heard that the film market in the United States is already quite mature in terms of surrounding development.

Unexpectedly, the entertainment linkage system created by the big boss seems to have considerable potential.

Similarly, he began to understand why the company was so protective of the rights and personal safety of its artists.

As long as there is popularity, you can create continuous profits, and that is enough.

With all kinds of complicated thoughts in his mind, he came to the chairman's office.

"Wusheng, I heard you have something to talk to me about?"

"Director Wang is here, please take a seat!"

Wu Feng gestured for Wang Jing to sit on the sofa in the reception room. He chuckled and said, "I really have something to ask Director Wang to come here this time!"

As he spoke, he handed over a stack of manuscript paper and said leisurely, "This is the movie script I wrote. Director Wang, take a look first!"

"Oh, then I must read it carefully!"

Wang Jing became interested and hurriedly took the manuscript and slowly flipped through it.

This look is naturally 70% true and 30% false, after all, you are working for someone else.

Of course, Wang Jing also knew that the big boss was indeed very capable in script creation.

Many of the company's early scripts were created based on ideas provided by the big boss.

Finally, it was made into a movie. Although the box office was not very hot, at least it made a profit, which is pretty good.

Of course, Fengrui Film and Television's script writing is very unique, and Wang Jing has to admit this.

In particular, losses are rarely incurred when the products are first tested in the market in the form of novels and comics and then filmed into movies.

Even if there is a loss, it will not be a big loss!

For a film company, if most of the films it produces are profitable, it is hard not to grow rapidly.

The same is true for Silver Metro Group, so it and Fengrui Films are the two fastest-growing companies in the Hong Kong film industry, at least in the past two to three years.

Originally, Debao's development momentum was rapid, but it was still far behind these two companies.

Even Wang Jing himself feels that this process is more reliable.

He is a screenwriter himself and feels that many of his ideas are very effective, but he does not dare to guarantee that the audience will definitely like such ideas.

In fact, after being at Fengrui Films for a long time, he had already gotten used to the filming and production process there. If he were to go back to his old habits, he would definitely be quite uncomfortable.

He knew that among the stories published in "Mong Kok News" and "Novel Monthly", those that were less famous or less attractive were actually highly valued by other film companies.

Many stories that Fengrui Film and Television and Yindu Film and Television look down upon are sought after by other film companies.

There is no way, the demonstration effect of Fengrui Film and Television and Yindu Organization is too obvious.

And to be honest, good movie scripts are quite scarce in the Hong Kong film industry.

Don’t look at the top ten works of the year, each of them is well-known and has a great influence.

However, there are not many works that can be called masterpieces.

Under such circumstances, the stories in "Mong Kok News" and "Novel Monthly" became the first choice for many film and television companies to adapt into movies.

Even those novels that are not very famous or popular have many merits.

Besides, novels that can be published in "Mong Kok News" and "Novel Monthly" must be of good quality and have accumulated a certain degree of fame.

As long as the adaptation and filming are done well, the probability of making a high-quality movie is very high.

Anyone who makes movies with heart is quite passionate about this.

"Takeshi, isn't this story a bit too bold?"

After quickly reading the script, Wang Jing hesitated and said, "It's very likely that we'll offend the guy from Australia!"

"You don't have to worry about this!"

Wu Feng waved his hand and chuckled, "It's just a few movie series. If this can affect the business on the Australian island, it's too exaggerated!"

After saying that, he looked at Wang Jing and asked directly: "Director Wang, can you shoot it?"

“I can definitely take this shot!”

Wang Jing was still a little hesitant and asked curiously, "I wonder why Wusheng came up with such a script?"

“I suddenly became interested and created it!”

Wu Feng smiled and said, "Of course, there are some things I don't want to hide from you!"

"That guy from Ao Island is really disrespectful to Hongxing!"

"Of course I don't need to. I'm just giving them too much face, that's what it is!"

Wang Jing suddenly realized, and then he was frightened again: If he made this series of movies, would he encounter something bad?
Wu Feng seemed to see through his worries and said leisurely, "Don't worry. At least in Hong Kong Island, no one dares to touch you easily!"

"Besides, even if it's on Australia Island, that person can't cover the sky with one hand!"

At this point, he pointed to the manuscript in Wang Jing's hand and chuckled, "If the first film in this series is well made, the box office will probably reach 30 million!"

"Of course, it's entirely up to you whether you want to accept it or not. I won't force you!"

"I just think it fits Director Wang's filming style quite well. Of course, the other directors in the company can also shoot it. I believe the final box office results will not be too bad!"

At this time, Wang Jing was indeed considered a top commercial director in Hong Kong.

Unfortunately, there has not been a movie that has grossed over 30 million at the box office, so naturally he can only be regarded as a gatekeeper among top commercial directors.

He has the ability and a high ceiling, but that doesn't mean he is irreplaceable!

The company’s other commercial directors are not bad in terms of ability and level!

The key is that Fengrui Film and Television has enough films for them to practice.

Unless one is really a blockhead, after shooting three or five movies, one will grow up quickly and even mature. At least, he will not be too bad in shooting commercial movies.

"I took it!"

Wang Jing gritted his teeth and said, "I just hope that the company can guarantee my safety when the time comes!"

"This, there is definitely no problem!"

Wu Feng laughed and said, "Director Wang, your reputation is there. If I want to touch you, I'm no joke!"

"If there's even a hint of something happening, I'll immediately start promoting it and make it a major international news story. It depends on whether the person from Australia Island can handle it!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jing opened his mouth wide but didn't know what to say.

He originally wanted to say, there’s no need to make such a big deal!
But facing Wu Feng's seemingly gentle but actually cold eyes, he didn't dare to say anything more.

He had no interest in getting involved in such things. He was just a director making movies.

After Wang Jing said goodbye and left, Wu Feng revealed a cold sneer.

The spinach electronic game machine that was tinkered with before was just an appetizer. Making a movie on the related subject is the real killer move, which will definitely give the person in Australia a good drink.

The script he provided was very simple, about feng shui, luck and spinach.

From the plot of Ding Hai in "The Greed of Man", we can see how obsessed Hong Kong people are with Feng Shui and fortune.

Anyway, when Wu Feng watched the TV series "Big Times" for the first time in his previous life, he felt that Ding Hai's dominance in the stock market by relying on his extraordinary luck was just like playing house.

However, after reading so many Hong Kong entertainment novels, I can confidently say that this plot of "The Greed of Man" is one of the most famous classics in Hong Kong Island.

As I got older and my understanding of Hong Kong Island deepened, I realized how much importance Hong Kong Island attaches to feng shui and luck.

The plots that mainland audiences find incongruous, they take for granted and even talk about with relish.

Since this is the reality, Wu Feng also wrote a script on a related topic this time.

Using Feng Shui and luck as the thread, and then various gambling methods as the basis, the gambling venues on the Australian Island are involved.

In later online novels, there are many excellent and even popular novels about Feng Shui and fortune.

As long as you borrow some of the Feng Shui metaphysics content and apply it to the storyline, the resulting script will be quite interesting to watch.

Then, in the plot, you can make a good play against the Australian casino, it’s that simple!
Based on his understanding of the people of Hong Kong Island, once they have a certain "understanding", many people will definitely stay away from the gambling venues on Macau Island.

Anyway, there shouldn’t be too many descriptions of the gambling dens on Ao Island in later online Feng Shui and metaphysics novels.

As long as you quote some of it, it will be excellent creative material!

No, Wang Jing did not question what he said, that once the film is made, the box office may exceed 30 million, which is very telling.

He only needs to make some subtle changes to the Australian gambling site in the plot, and that is enough.

In addition to movies, there are also TV series and comics, and there may be animations in the future.

In short, this public opinion offensive against gambling dens on the Australian island will definitely not make anyone feel comfortable.

The ultimate goal is to attract more spectators to the boat jam that is being prepared.

He did not inform anyone about this public opinion offensive before launching it, and planned to let the Hongxing forces participate after it started.

In Hong Kong Island, it's not just the Hung Hing family that dislikes the man from Macau Island.

If he hadn't arrived too late, he would have really thought of seizing the gambling license issued by Macau Island.

It’s just a matter of spending money, who’s afraid of who?
