The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 43: Liang Kun Wants to Make a Movie (Please Read)

"Brother Feng, Hongxing Liangkun is here!"

When Wu Feng was eating happily, a younger brother came to report.

Following the direction of the little brother's finger, I saw Liang Qian walking towards me, swaying from side to side like a lunatic, which was quite eye-catching.

"Haha Fengzi, I hope it won't be difficult for you to come to my house suddenly?"

Liang Kun sat down opposite Wu Feng and said sorry words but there was no trace of apology on his face.

In fact, Liang Kun didn't feel very good either.

Ever since he entered Hongyi's territory on Shanghai Street, he felt that the eyes of passersby around him were obviously hostile and defensive, which made him feel uneasy and his hair stood on end.

I don't know how many times I cursed in my heart. What a weird place.

"how is this possible?"

Wu Feng put down his bowl and chopsticks, chuckled and said, "I'm so happy that Brother Kun can come!"

"Haha, you can talk!"

Liang Kun was also very happy. After all, everyone likes to hear compliments.

He glanced around and said directly: "I have something to talk to you about today, and this is not the place to talk!"

"Oh, then wait a moment, Brother Kun, it will be ready soon!"

Wu Feng answered, finished his dinner in no time, then stood up and invited Liang Kun to go to Tuodi to talk, and the younger brothers who had eaten with him followed him.

"Fengzi, you are making such a big show!"

Liang Kun was a little surprised when he saw this and jokingly said, "You're in your own territory, and you're surrounded by so many little brothers!"

"Better safe than sorry!"

Wu Feng chuckled and replied, "Even on our own territory, there are so many people and so many different opinions. No one knows whether the person coming here is a human or a ghost. Anyway, I always put safety first!"

Liang Kun seemed to be thinking about something, and did not say anything. He followed Wu Feng directly into the sauna where Tuo Di was. He was startled by the lively scene there.

"Business is so booming, do you have any secrets?"

Even when nightclub business is at its peak, places like saunas cannot have so many people. This is the case with the sauna on Bowl Lane.

“Regular, safe and comfortable!”

Wu Feng smiled softly, raised his chin slightly and pointed in a direction: "See that pool? It's full of off-duty police officers from Mong Kok Police Station. The pool next to it is for white-collar workers working in Central!"

“When you go out to relax at night, you don’t have to go out and have fun. You can also just relax!”

"On the entire Shanghai Street, my sauna is the most formal. If they don't come here, they have to go to Bolan Street. The prices there are totally different!"

Liang Kun: “…”

When he heard that there was a policeman soaking in the pool, he subconsciously walked away a little, and his body, which was originally swaying from side to side, stopped swaying, and it was obvious that he was afraid.

Especially when Wu Feng walked in, an off-duty policeman who was taking a bath greeted him, which made him feel even more magical and almost popped his eyes out.

It wasn't until I went up the stairs and reached the office on the third floor that I breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're amazing, kid! No wonder I've never heard of any police officers making house calls!"

Sitting on the guest sofa, Liang Kun seemed to have no bones, slumped in the sofa, with a strange look on his face, and the way he looked at Wu Feng was different. "Hehe, that's the recent situation. It was quite a struggle at the beginning!"

Wu Feng smiled lightly and changed the subject, "Brother Kun, if you have anything to talk to me about, just tell me!"

"I heard that you opened a film and television company and shot two hit movies?"

Liang Qian straightened up, looked at Wu Feng with a sharp gaze and said directly: "I want to make money by making movies. I'm here to learn from you, kid. Don't be secretive!"

Wu Feng knew it all. If Liang Kun hadn't been so wary, he wouldn't have been so polite. The gang leader's usual style of doing things was likely to force a stake in his Fengrui Film and Television Company and then take over the company.

"Brother Kun should know that my film and television company is just an empty shell!"

He chuckled and said, "It's just that I found a Yindu agency to cooperate with. I provided the script, and they were mainly responsible for filming and post-production. Then we agreed to split the profits and each of us would take what we needed!"

"I guess Brother Kun won't easily cooperate with the Yindu Organization, so I can only form my own team!"

"No matter the director or the staff behind the scenes, they can't do whatever they want. As long as there's a good script, no matter which theater it's sent to, it can sell for a good price. The key is also the income from the videotape, which is not low!"

"Oh, do we have to cooperate with several theater chains?"

Liang Kun asked curiously, "I heard that some guys even dare to cheat the society's money!"

Why don’t you just say Jiahe directly? Why are you beating around the bush?
"As long as the film is normal, I can help you show it at Shuangnan Cinema Line, and there will definitely be no problem with the bill afterwards!"

"Of course, with Brother Kun's ability, it's not impossible for him to set up a temporary cinema chain on his own!"

"What if the film I made is not serious?"

Liang Kun asked directly: "Can it be released in theaters, or sold through other channels?"

“It’s unlikely to be released in mainstream theaters!”

Wu Feng spoke frankly: "However, those inconspicuous small cinemas can be rented temporarily for screenings, but the quality of the films cannot be too bad!"

"Mr. Qiu of Far Eastern Bank was able to make a fortune by opening rural theaters. Brother Kun might be able to emulate this, but it would require a lot of effort and thought!"

"The most important revenue source for the film Brother Kun is going to make is actually videotapes. It would be best if we had a videotape production factory. Only by integrating production and sales can we make more money!"

In fact, Wu Feng has acquired a small videotape production factory under the name of Fengrui Film and Television Company, which specializes in producing films shot in cooperation with Yindu Organization.

Instead of letting other societies make money by selling pirated copies, it’s better to do it ourselves.

At that time, the basic price of a videotape was around HK$100.

Videotapes of popular movies can easily sell tens of thousands of copies in Hong Kong Island. If they can enter the Taiwanese, Singapore, Malaysia and Thai markets, it is possible to sell even 100,000 copies, which would be a business worth tens of millions.

The videotape market for non-serious movies has a ceiling. It is considered good if a movie can sell thousands of videotapes, but that is still a profit of hundreds of thousands, the kind that is picked up for free.

Apart from anything else, the videotapes of "Legend of Northeast Hunter" sold thousands of copies in Hong Kong Island.

If we can sell it to Taiwan and Kinmatai, we should be able to sell 30,000 to 50,000 boxes.

Even if they share the profits, Wu Feng himself can still get millions in profit!
At present, he is considering whether to continue cooperating with Lian Sheng. The handsome Kun in front of him is also a good partner. It depends on whether he can get along with him.

"Good boy, I didn't expect you to know the ins and outs so well!"

Liang Kun clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Okay, okay, my choice was right. You can really make a lot of money by making movies. Fengzai, there will be many opportunities for us to work together in the future!"
