The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 218 Starlight shines
A few days later, a new novel titled "The God of Traffic" appeared in "Novel Monthly".

Ahem, the reason why I didn’t publish it in “Mong Kok News” was because I was worried about the bad influence.

Although the wind jam in Hong Kong Island is severe, it is a bit embarrassing to show it in public.

As for "Novel Monthly", there is no such great risk of public opinion.

At this time, "Novel Monthly" was definitely the most famous story-telling magazine in Hong Kong.

Two issues were published in January, and the circulation reached an astonishing 150,000 copies!
If a copy of "Novel Monthly" is sold for ten yuan, that would mean a turnover of one and a half million yuan.

Including the advertisements in the margins, the turnover involved in one issue reached a staggering three million!
Don’t think that it’s low-class to insert advertisements into novel pages. In fact, it is quite novel at the moment.

For example, in urban romance novels, the clothes and jewelry worn by the male and female protagonists can be presented through color illustrations, giving readers a more intuitive visual experience.

At the same time, this is also a form of advertising, promoting a certain brand of clothing and jewelry, and the effect is quite good. The proportion of white-collar workers in the readership of "Novel Monthly" is quite high.

In addition, armor and other items in historical novels can also be displayed through illustrations.

Not every novel can reach the level of comic adaptation.

In fact, advertising through illustrations is quite effective.

Apart from anything else, many wealthy readers like to collect armor from the Tang Dynasty.

This provides relevant factories in Guanzhong, inland China, with a very valuable opportunity to earn foreign exchange.

After a phone call, the relevant units in the mainland have basically sent all the documents and the armor produced by the factory.

In addition, the characteristic of "Novel Monthly" is that it is thick. There are quite a few chapters of novels in it, and the length of each chapter is at least 20,000 words, which makes readers feel refreshed when reading it in one breath.

Compared with the daily "Mong Kok News", it is just as watchable.

As soon as "The God of Traffic Jams" was serialized, it quickly attracted readers' attention and became popular.

There is no way around it. Hong Kong residents are really too obsessed with traffic jams.

The title of the book "The God of Traffic" attracts readers' attention.

With Wu Feng personally creating the outline and controlling the storyline, the plot is naturally quite attractive.

The protagonist is a young man who lives in a public housing estate. He is smart and was admitted to high school. Unfortunately, due to various factors, he dropped out of high school and became unemployed at home.

He was almost dragged into a society by his childhood friend, and accidentally found a tattered Feng Shui book from an old cabinet at home, and then his counterattack and turnaround began.

The plot soon develops to the point where the protagonist makes a fortune through Feng Shui secrets and then enters the gambling world.

During this period, many tricks of deception were introduced, which left the readers stunned and unable to believe it.

In short, the first ten chapters were so exciting and fascinating that they instantly made the novel "The God of Traffic Jams" a hit and became one of the main topics of private communication among many readers.

Seeing that the situation was good, Wu Feng temporarily put aside the matters here.

The beauty pageant program organized by ATV has entered the final sprint stage.

It can be said that the entire Hong Kong Island is paying attention to the beauty pageant program at this time. Its absolute attraction to be at the top of the popularity list requires his personal guidance.

The telephone voting in cooperation with the Hong Kong Telephone Company can generate hundreds of thousands or even millions of profits almost every day. At the same time, peripheral products such as posters and postcards with voting functions are almost sold out.

Everyone at ATV was shocked by the popularity.

Wu Feng didn't care at all, thinking that Hong Kong Island was too small.

If this happened in mainland China, if the income from telephone voting alone was less than 10 million a day, it would not be considered qualified.

He had witnessed the madness of the first "Super Girls" and the current ATV beauty pageant was still a bit far behind.

The main reason is that there are a limited number of secondary school students in Hong Kong Island, so they can’t make much of a splash!

With fans of other famous singers as a diversion, the potential for commotion was naturally smaller. Fortunately, telephone voting, as well as voting through posters and postcards, was enough to keep ATV's peripheral revenue at around 1.5 million per day.

This does not include the income from advertising sponsorship. In short, the senior management of ATV are all grinning from ear to ear.

Even the Hongxing gambling hall in Macau Island opened the odds based on the progress of the game.

In short, the popularity of beauty pageants is astonishingly high!

When it comes to the 40-to-20 match, it will no longer be appropriate to hold the broadcasting venue in ATV's studio.

Finally, a large warehouse in Kowloon Tong was chosen for renovation, similar to the situation of the first "Unlimited Fighting Tournament".

Of course, Wu Feng bought this large warehouse directly and would definitely not give it to others at a discount.

At the same time, at Wu Feng's suggestion, the communities behind those players who came from nightclubs began to take action.

Their mobilization ability is only average, but they still have the ability to vote for the contestants.

At the same time, it is not a problem to encourage some rich people and young men to help vote.

As a result, the competition among the forty to the twenty will be quite intense.

The competition process is mainly the same old song and dance competition, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Of course, if the contestants have the ability to perform skits or stage plays, the TV station will not refuse!
When the game officially started, thousands of spectators were seated in the surrounding areas.

During the game, the sound of supportive shouts was endless.

When the results of the game came out, the cheers and shouts almost blew the roof of the warehouse off.

The contestants who advanced to the top 20 were all filled with joy, feeling fortunate that they could still stand in the center of the stage.

Of course, although the eliminated contestants were depressed, they were not too sad.

Next, it’s time for them to reap rich rewards.

Especially for those players who come from nightclubs, their value will increase at least tenfold after returning to the nightclub.

In the future, I’m afraid they will all be the faces of major nightclubs!
At this point, they are all considered stars and have already left behind their previous identities as young ladies.

Not only that, during the competition, he had already earned hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars through promoting products and developing surrounding products.

This amount of money is naturally nothing to the rich.

But for them who came from common families, it was definitely not a small amount of money.

As long as the community behind them does not exploit them too much, their living conditions will be greatly improved in the future, and they may even be able to climb up the ladder.

There is no doubt that as far as Wu Feng knows, there are many wealthy people pursuing these players.

As long as a few couples are formed, it will be considered a good deed.

Of course, contestants from ordinary families basically sign contracts with ATV.

Their starting point is much higher than that of ordinary artists, so ATV is naturally very welcome.

As long as they keep improving, it will not be a far-fetched thing for them to become regulars in TV dramas or even TV stars.

In fact, there has always been a shortage of regular performing artists in Hong Kong.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for all the faces in TV dramas to be familiar, and it would be the same for decades.

Is it that the TV station doesn’t want to use new faces? Obviously that’s not the case.

It’s that new faces can’t keep up. To be an actor, you need a certain talent, and you also have to be able to endure loneliness and slowly improve yourself.
