Chapter 369 Director Wang Jingjing's Fantastic Experience
"Husband, are you coming over?"
Ding Yao was very surprised.
"Yes, Hung Hing Society is going to shoot a movie. I haven't seen you in a long time, so I'm going with the crew."
Lin Feng explained.
Ding Yao was almost mad with joy:
"Then when are you coming?"
"At least two or three days," Lin Feng thought carefully. "I have to deal with things here in Hong Kong before I can go."
Ding Yao asked again:
"Are you coming alone, or with Big Sister?"
"How can Ah Min come?" Lin Feng shook his head. "Just me alone. Ah Min, Huizhen, Tingting, they all have their own things."
Ding Yao secretly rejoiced:
"Then I'll wait for my husband to come."
Lin Feng asked:
"Have the Police Woman arrived yet?"
Ding Yao said happily:
"They're here."
"They're right beside me."
"Thank you, husband, for still thinking of me."
Lin Feng was speechless:
"What's with this mournful tone of yours?"
"It's as if I don't miss you all."
Ding Yao chuckled:
"I knew my husband was the best."
Lin Feng instructed:
"These are bodyguards sent by my Mainland. You can trust them completely."
"Treat them well."
Ding Yao nodded repeatedly:
"I treat them like sisters."
Only then was Lin Feng satisfied:
"Is Zhou Chao'an's matter settled?"
Ding Yao shook her head regretfully:
"Not yet."
"That guy was betrayed by the Kuomintang and almost went crazy."
"Now he's in a fierce battle with Four Seas Gang."
"The two gangs are about to fight to the death."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said:
"Alright, when I get there, I'll help resolve it."
Ding Yao gave a loud kiss into the phone:
"Mwah, husband is the best!"
Hanging up the phone, Lin Feng shook his head. This vixen.
Ding Yao always had a way of making ordinary words captivating, a born enchantress.
"Brother Feng, Wang Jingjing has been brought."
Wang Jianguo came in to report.
"Please invite him in."
A somewhat lewd-looking chubby man walked in.
"B-B-Big Boss!"
Lin Feng looked at him speechlessly:
"You're Wang Jingjing?"
"I remember you're not a stutterer, are you?"
Wang Jingjing was startled:
"Big Boss, I'm not a stutterer. I just get a little nervous when I see you."
Lin Feng laughed and scolded:
"Nervous about what?"
"Can I eat you?"
Wang Jingjing smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He was not an ordinary person.
A large portion of ordinary Hong Kong citizens had only heard the name Hung Hing but didn't know their deeds.
Wang Jingjing was different.
His Old Man was a high-ranking official at TB, with a network spanning across Hong Kong, involving all walks of life.
Wang Jingjing naturally knew how ruthless Hung Hing was, not to mention the background of the beautiful reporter Lok Wai-Jan.
Lin Feng waved his hand:
"Come, sit."
Wang Jingjing cautiously sat at Lin Feng's lower position.
He didn't dare to sit all the way down.
He sat on the edge of the sofa, ready to move if anything happened.
"Do you know why I called you here?"
Wang Jingjing shook his head like a rattle-drum. If he knew why Lin Feng called him, he wouldn't be so terrified right now.
"I heard you want to be a director?"
"I'm young, and I appreciate young people who also have dreams."
"I'm going to give you an opportunity and invite you to make a movie."
Wang Jingjing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
So it was about making a movie.
Then there was no problem.
"Big Boss…"
Lin Feng interrupted him:
"Don't call me Big Boss. You haven't joined my sect. Call me Brother Feng."
"Brother Feng," the chubby man readily complied. "I can't help with other things, but for filmmaking, I'll give 200% of my ability."
Lin Feng clapped his hands:
"Good, I like straightforward people."
"You're straightforward, and I'm not stingy either."
Bang!
Lin Feng snapped his fingers, and Li Fu handed over a contract. Lin Feng gently pushed it towards the chubby man:
"Sign it, and you'll be a director for our Qiankun Film and Television."
Wang Jingjing cautiously requested:
"Brother Feng, can I take a look?"
Lin Feng nodded:
"Of course, this is a major career matter, so be cautious."
Wang Jingjing got Lin Feng's permission before daring to touch the contract.
He only glanced at it, and his eyes widened. He eagerly flipped through it, then couldn't help but look up and ask:
"Brother Feng, is this contract for me?"
Lin Feng tilted his head:
"What? Not satisfied?"
"I'm easy to talk to. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just say it."
"We can discuss it."
Wang Jingjing waved his hands repeatedly, quite agitated:
"No, no, no."
"I'm just a little disbelieving."
"I've never made a movie before, and the two million hong kong dollar fee per movie you're offering, isn't that a bit too high?"
"How about… a little less?!"
Lin Feng burst out laughing:
"People usually complain about low prices, so why are you complaining that your director's fee is too high?"
"Don't you like money?"
Wang Jingjing was covered in sweat but still said:
"Brother Feng is joking."
"It's not that I don't like money, but I know my own limitations."
"Some money isn't that easy to earn."
"I don't have any previous works…"
"I think, when my abilities improve in the future, it would be more appropriate to take money like this."
Lin Feng smiled:
"You're a good guy."
"Do you know Huizhen?"
Wang Jingjing quickly replied:
"That's the ace female reporter from the news department. I heard she's Sister-in-law."
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"Then you know her."
"Then you should know my character."
"I never mistreat my subordinates."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have work experience. Your Old Man is a great director. You've watched him for so long, you must have learned something."
"What you lack now is experience."
"For the Young and Dangerous story, I plan to make three to five films."
"The script is already written."
Wang Jingjing looked at Lin Feng in surprise, exclaiming:
"There's actually a script?"
Lin Feng smiled slightly:
"You can take a look at the script."
Li Fu silently handed over another script.
Wang Jingjing quickly wiped his hands and solemnly took the script.
Just by opening it, his mind felt a wave of dizziness.
Such a professional script!
It was a director's shot-by-shot script!
Others saw a script.
Wang Jingjing already had images in his mind.
The more he read, the more engrossed he became, and soon he was completely absorbed.
He didn't know how much time had passed when he suddenly exclaimed:
"Brilliant!"
He suddenly came to his senses, his heart pounding, and quickly apologized:
"Sorry, Brother Feng, I lost my composure."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"It's alright."
"Seeing a director like my script so much, I'm overjoyed."
Wang Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's good."
"I really like this script, your script…"
At this point, he looked at Lin Feng in surprise, then belatedly exclaimed,
"Brother Feng, did you write this script?"
Lin Feng tilted his head:
"Is that not allowed?"
Wang Jingjing sighed heavily:
"That's amazing!"
"I can't even write such a professional script."
Lin Feng waved his hand:
"That's your fault."
"Hong Kong's style has always been 'flying paper,' where writing as you shoot is the norm."
"As for a script like this, it's actually unconventional."
Wang Jingjing said with some difficulty:
"Brother Feng, since you have such a complete shot-by-shot script, you don't need me, do you?"
"Any assistant director could shoot it."
When a director shoots, he will write a shot-by-shot script based on his own understanding.
Each director's style is different, and naturally, each director's shot-by-shot script is also different.
It can be said that a shot-by-shot script is something with a very personal style.
If Wang Jingjing were to create the shot-by-shot script, it would definitely be completely different from what Lin Feng wrote.
It's not a question of who is better or worse; it's purely a matter of different personal styles.
Lin Feng smiled:
"I wrote the script, so should I shoot it myself?"
"How much money I make per minute, why would I waste time shooting something like this?"
"You shoot it, and I'll be the producer."
"What, you still don't want to shoot?"
Without waiting for the chubby man to reply, Lin Feng continued,
"That's right, you're the son of a great director, and you're determined to direct movies."
"This series limits your creativity, making you feel uncomfortable, isn't that right?"
Wang Jingjing quickly shook his head:
"No, no!"
"I just… don't feel worthy!"
Wang Jingjing was very flexible.
What a joke!
Filming according to the script certainly left him no room for creativity.
But he gained experience!
In addition to that, he would also receive a two million hong kong dollar director's fee!
Note, two million for each film!
Each film!
Such a good thing is hard to find even with a lantern; if he refused to do it, the chubby guy suspected that his Old Man would break his legs when he got home.
"If there are no problems, then sign it."
Wang Jingjing signed his name without a second thought.
Lin Feng waved his hand again, and Li Fu brought over another box.
Wang Jingjing's eyes went wide:
"Brother Feng, this is?"
Lin Feng asked curiously:
"This is your director's fee for your first film."
"You don't want cash?"
"Then I'll write you a check."
Wang Jingjing said happily:
"I love it, I love it."
"I'm going to hug it and sleep tonight!"
Lin Feng was speechless:
"What kind of hobby is that!"
Wang Jingjing opened the briefcase, and stacks of hong kong dollar almost blinded him.
His face gradually became lewd.
Lin Feng couldn't stand it and reminded him:
"Since you've signed the contract, we'll start filming tomorrow."
"What you need to do is assemble the crew."
"The actors are all ready; you'll see them tomorrow."
"By the way, just come to me for the crew's expenses."
"Go back and prepare today, and don't be late tomorrow."
Wang Jingjing thanked him profusely:
"Brother Feng, don't worry, I will definitely produce a work that satisfies you!"
Lin Feng nodded gravely:
"Alright, I'll be waiting!"
The chubby guy went back joyfully.
Li Fu looked at the chubby guy's retreating back, extremely doubtful:
"Brother Feng, is this guy capable?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"This guy is a sharpshooter."
Li Fu wondered:
"Is this chubby guy good with a gun? I can't tell."
Lin Feng rolled his eyes at him:
"What are you talking about, this guy makes movies very fast."
"What takes ordinary people half a year, he finishes in a month."
Li Fu suddenly understood.
But then he thought, wait, this chubby guy hasn't made any movies before, has he?
How did Brother Feng know that the chubby guy was a 'quick draw'?
Things that can't be figured out don't need to be thought about; in Li Fu's understanding, his Big Boss is omnipotent!
Wang Jingjing returned home very excited and told his Old Man about it.
Director Wang was stunned:
"What, Hung Hing invited you to make a movie?"
The chubby guy proudly showed off the box:
"Here, the director's fee for the first film has already arrived."
Director Wang almost died of anger:
"How dare you accept it, that's Hung Hing!"
The chubby guy was very wronged:
"Brother Feng found me, he made me sign a formal contract, there are several stories of Young and Dangerous, this is only the first one."
"Brother Feng said he'd give me two million for each one."
"I've already taken it, am I supposed to give it back?"
Director Wang, however, breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's Brother Feng, then there's no problem."
"Everyone in the jianghu knows that Brother Feng can get by in Hong Kong just by showing his face; there's nothing he promises that he can't deliver."
"Getting involved with him will be good for you in the future."
"No one in the jianghu will dare to mess with you anymore."
Wang Jingjing's small eyes widened:
"Is Brother Feng that formidable?"
Director Wang glared at his foolish son in exasperation:
"He's even more formidable than you can imagine."
"When is the filming?"
Wang Jingjing chuckled:
"Tomorrow!"
Director Wang felt his blood pressure rise:
"That fast?"
"Do you have confidence?"
Wang Jingjing laughed:
"Of course, I have confidence."
"Brother Feng wrote a script, I just need to follow it, it couldn't be simpler!"
Director Wang was very surprised:
"Is that so?"
"Let me see!"
The chubby guy dutifully handed
Young and Dangerous
to his Old Man.
Director Wang was greatly surprised:
"What a professional storyboard script."
"Didn't that scoundrel Chan Ho-Nam die?"
"Liang Kun is actually the big villain!"
"Tsk!"
"A bit interesting…"
Director Wang commented as he read the script, and after a long while, he finally finished reading it, his expression somewhat complex,
"Kid, you got lucky."
"This script looks simple, but the storytelling is quite good."
"It might even be a big hit after it's released."
"Brother Feng chose you, so do your best."
Wang Jingjing was immediately motivated.
"Have the actors for the crew been found yet?"
Wang Jingjing didn't care:
"Brother Feng said Hung Hing would handle it."
Director Wang earnestly instructed,
"Then you must put in two hundred percent effort, be sure to film exactly as written in the script, and absolutely do not add your own ideas, understand?"
Wang Jingjing chuckled:
"I understand!"
Director Wang's expression was somewhat complex:
"I'll contact the crew members for you right away; this is your first movie after all, so make it a good one."
Wang Jingjing said gratefully:
"Thank you, Old Man."
That night, the chubby guy really slept with his money box, but unfortunately, he couldn't sleep.
The next day, he brought the crew members that Director Wang had found for him and went to Qiankun Film and Television in Mong Kok.
Lin Feng wasn't there; he couldn't get up, but Li Fu was.
When Wang Jingjing saw Li Fu, he excitedly greeted him:
"Brother Fu!"
"Have all the actors arrived?"
Li Fu waved his hand:
"You've come at just the right time; I'll introduce you all."
Liang Kun looked at the chubby guy with interest:
"Xiao Fu, is this the director Ah Feng chose?"
"Chubby guy, are you interested in coming to Qiankun Film and Television?"
Wang Jingjing thought, who is this person, daring to speak to Li Fu like that?
Are actors so bold these days?
No!
Why didn't he recognize any of the actors Hung Hing chose?
Wang Jingjing became highly vigilant.
Hong Kong isn't big, and the film industry is small; Wang Jingjing, following Director Wang, had indeed met many people.
He knew all the A-list actors in Hong Kong.
Yet, he didn't recognize a single one of these people.
Sister Thirteen said with a smile:
"Brother Kun, don't scare him."
Brother Kun?!
Wang Jingjing had a faint bad premonition.
Li Fu had already introduced him:
"Director Wang, this is Mr. Lee Chin-Kwan, the Leader of Hung Hing, and he is also the male actor playing Liang Kun."
The chubby guy almost fell over.
What does that mean?
Playing himself?
Wang Jingjing stammered:
"Hello, Brother Kun!"
Li Fu then introduced everyone one by one.
The main characters in the play were Ekin, Chicken, Xiao Chun, Chao Wei, Xing Chi, as well as the various hall masters and top brass of Hung Hing, and of course, Big B, who made a friendly appearance as Fire Shit.
Inviting Big B truly took no effort; not to mention the influence of the Hung Hing Triad, just the two million money was enough to make Big B eagerly come over.
The Big Bosses of Wo Hing Shing were truly polarized.
Some were dying of drought, others were drowning in floods.
Master Shen lived in a big villa, not only rolling in money but also able to send his son abroad to study.
Big B and Fire Shit, on the other hand, were famously poor in the jianghu.
The chubby guy's legs went weak.
The smile had vanished from his face, replaced by sweat.
He seized an opportunity, quietly pulled Li Fu aside, and said with a mournful face:
"Brother Fu, how about you ask someone else to direct this film?"
Li Fu's face hardened:
"You signed a contract; do you want to breach it?"
"Let me tell you, the cost of breaching a contract is high, and you can't afford it!"
The chubby guy was practically scared to death:
"You didn't say that all these actors were Big Bosses from Hung Hing and the jianghu!"
Li Fu shrugged:
"Isn't it clearly written in the script, the story of Hung Hing."
"Since it's the story of Hung Hing, it naturally has to be acted by Hung Hing's people."
"Do you have a problem with that?"
The chubby guy said with a forced smile:
"Brother Fu, I'm scared!"
"How about I pay the penalty instead."
Li Fu looked the chubby guy up and down:
"I didn't realize you were worth so much."
"Can you really come up with two hundred million hong kong dollar?"
"Then I'll discuss it with Boss Ding and let you pay to settle it."
The chubby guy's body went limp, almost falling, and he cried out:
"Two hundred million?"
Li Fu looked at him strangely:
"Didn't you read it carefully?"
"If you breach the contract after accepting the script, there's a hundredfold compensation fee."
"Your director's fee is two million, so a hundredfold is two hundred million, isn't it?"
"Or do you want to go to court?"
"You won't win; my girlfriend is a lawyer, and this is the contract she drafted."
The chubby guy's expression immediately changed, and with a tragic heart, he shouted:
"I'll film it!"

Chapter 370: Brothers Sharing Their Hearts
Swish!
Liang Kun forcefully pulled back the shroud, revealing Ba Bi's pale face.
His body trembled, his hand extended slightly forward, and tears streamed down his face, overcome with grief.
His girlfriend quickly advised:
"The dead cannot be brought back to life, Brother Kun. Don't be too sad."
Liang Kun was furious:
"Do you think I'm sad for him?"
"This guy borrowed twenty million from me. Now that he's dead, who am I going to get the money from?"
His girlfriend was half-choked by his words.
"Cut!"
"It's a take!"
The little fatty excitedly shouted,
"Brother Kun, you acted so well!"
"You definitely have the potential to contend for the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Supporting Actor."
Liang Kun rolled his eyes:
"Act?"
"I wasn't acting."
Wang Jingjing was stunned:
"You acted really well just now!"
Liang Kun burst out laughing:
"If I really encountered what happened in the movie, I would definitely do the same."
"This is me."
"I wasn't acting; I was just being myself."
The little fatty suddenly felt a chill.
"Brother Kun, why are you scaring the little fatty?"
The little fatty looked gratefully at the newcomer, who was none other than Lin Feng.
"Boss, how does it feel to shoot a movie?"
Liang Kun shrugged:
"Great!"
"Ah Feng, tell me, if I hadn't met you back then, would things have really developed this way?"
Lin Feng looked at him, puzzled:
"Where is there a 'what if' in this matter?"
Liang Kun insisted:
"I'm just saying, what if there was a 'what if'."
Lin Feng retorted unceremoniously:
"There is no 'what if'."
"Everything in this world is actually a series of choices."
"Even if you were reborn and went back to the past, unless your personality changed, you would make the same choices when faced with the same situations."
"This is based on your personality, not anything else."
Liang Kun was startled:
"Is that so?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"That's right."
"That's why there are no 'what ifs' in history."
Liang Kun looked thoughtful.
Lin Feng asked the little fatty:
"How's the progress?"
Wang Jingjing happily said:
"Beyond expectations."
"The progress is very fast."
"Simply perfect!"
Lin Feng reminded him:
"This is our Hung Hing's first movie, so we must get off to a good start no matter what."
"You are the director, so you must strive for perfection."
The little fatty complained:
"All the bosses acted wonderfully; I can't find any flaws."
"Really?" Lin Feng was very skeptical.
Liang Kun was annoyed:
"Ah Feng, what do you mean?"
"Do you think the acting isn't good?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"I'm not worried about your acting, Boss."
Liang Kun said, surprised:
"Then what are you worried about?"
Lin Feng pointed a finger:
"I'm worried about them."
Liang Kun looked over and saw the main cast.
"Ekin and Chicken acted pretty well."
Lin Feng waved them all over.
"How do you all feel?"
The group exchanged glances, hesitating to speak.
Lin Feng teased:
"Is it because my boss is here that you can't relax?"
"That won't do."
"You'll have scenes together in the future."
Chicken gave a dry laugh:
"Brother Feng is joking."
"We were just awkward at first."
"This movie portrays Chan Ho-Nam, that scoundrel, too well."
"Does that scoundrel deserve it?"
Ekin nodded repeatedly:
"If only we didn't know who Chan Ho-Nam was, we might have acted better."
Lin Feng looked at Wang Jingjing:
"Little fatty, you tell us."
Wang Jingjing quickly said:
"No, no, no, this is perfectly fine."
Liang Kun laughed:
"Little fatty, don't worry. I am the Hung Hing boss, and I'm on your side. If anyone dares not to put in effort, tell me, and I'll deal with them."
Wang Jingjing sincerely said:
"I really think the acting is quite good."
"I can tell that you all must know each other, and quite well."
"However, what I want is that initial sense of awkwardness."
"When Young and Dangerous first start out, they all have a strong sense of awkwardness, and only later do they get better."
"This aligns with the movie's theme of growth."
"Otherwise, if it's too polished, it would be unreasonable."
Liang Kun praised loudly:
"That makes sense!"
Ekin and Chicken looked at each other, surprised. This could work?
Wang Jingjing quickly started doing their ideological work:
"Remember, you are actors. Just treat the character's experiences as your own experiences."
The main cast nodded repeatedly.
Wang Jingjing smiled:
"Take a break, then we'll shoot the next scene."
Lin Feng waved, and the little fatty scurried over:
"Xiao Fu said you initially wanted to breach the contract?"
Wang Jingjing shook his head vigorously,
"No, no, no, I made a mistake at first."
"I didn't expect all the bosses to be so approachable."
"I thought they would be difficult to direct."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"With me and the boss backing you, who would dare not give their best?"
"However, you're overthinking it."
"Making movies, everyone finds it fresh, so most people are willing to try."
"Just do what you need to do."
Wang Jingjing agreed readily, but secretly muttered,
"These are all Hung Hing bosses, either Hall Masters, Big Bottoms, or even Chairmen."
"I'd love to be a tyrant on set, but the question is, do I dare?"
The little fatty didn't dare.
He was afraid he'd be feeding fish the next moment.
Lin Feng rolled his eyes at him:
"Ambitious!"
The little fatty pretended not to hear.
His own safety was paramount.
Liang Kun said with a chuckle to everyone:
"Director Little Fatty is good; everyone must cooperate with him."
"This guy is our Hung Hing's exclusive director. Maybe in the future, if any of you want to make a movie, you'll have to beg him."
Everyone nodded in unison.
Thus, in this short period, the little fatty accumulated a vast network of connections.
At least, walking in Hung Hing territory, he didn't have to worry about anything anymore.
The next scene was Liang Kun's again.
Big B's entire family was kidnapped.
Liang Kun swiftly dealt with them and uttered his famous line.
"When you're out in the streets, you must keep your word."
"If I say I'll kill your whole family, I'll kill your whole family!"
At this point, Big B's task was over.
He naturally received a white envelope for his 'death'.
Big B was very excited:
"Brother Kun, if there are more movies like this, call me!"
Liang Kun shrugged,
"You'll have to ask Ah Feng about that."
Lin Feng laughed:
"Don't worry, we'll definitely invite Brother B, it won't be too long."
Big B was overjoyed:
"Are there really such roles?"
Lin Feng laughed:
"Yes, there are."
"In a while, how about I invite you to play the Smiling Tiger of Tung Sing?"
Big B was stunned:
"My personality doesn't match the Smiling Tiger's."
Lin Feng was embarrassed:
"Brother B, I'm asking you to play him, not to actually become him."
Big B readily agreed:
"Then thank you, Brother Feng."
Liang Kun knew how to handle people:
"Big B, don't rush off yet. Give Sister-in-law a call; let's get together tonight."
Big B said carelessly:
"Men doing business don't need to mind women."
Though he said that, he still turned around and called his wife.
Lin Feng sighed:
"Brother B is a family man."
Big B scoffed:
"Being out in the streets is just to earn a few hong kong dollars to support the family."
"If there were proper jobs, who would have chosen this line of work back then?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
"I can't compare to you all; I just make do with mahjong parlors."
"Hung Hing is truly good."
Big B's eyes were red with envy.
Hung Hing's Hall Masters had strong autonomy; once appointed, unless they died or retired, they weren't replaced.
Therefore, every Hung Hing Hall Master lived a pretty good life.
Among Hung Hing's fifteen Hall Masters, the one who struggled the most was Ba Ji.
Ba Ji's struggles were purely because of his old age, making it hard for him to keep up with the times.
Even so, compared to Hall Masters from other Triads, Ba Ji was still a Tycoon.
Wo Hing Shing simply couldn't compare.
"Big B, I remember your Wo Hing Shing's leader election is about to start," Liang Kun suddenly remembered something.
"Don't you want to contend for it?"
Big B quickly shook his head:
"I have no intention of contending for the leader position."
"Fire Shit and Han Bin could certainly contend for it."
"I don't have that ambition, nor can I compare to either of them."
"Besides, because of the Wo Luen Shing matter, the Wo-headed Triads are getting a huge headache just thinking about elections now."
After a pause, Big B simply told the truth,
"Even if I became the leader, so what?"
"Everyone in the underworld knows that the one who truly calls the shots in Wo Hing Shing is always Master Shen."
"Didn't Brother Hei also have prestige when he was Chairman back then?"
"But once he died, who remembered him?"
"I don't have big ambitions; I just want to live a stable life."
"Oh, you're all laughing at me."
No one there was laughing at him.
People who dabble in the Triad might seem glamorous, but few actually come to a good end.
So, after filming concluded, Liang Kun hosted a lavish dinner for the crew at the Arrogance Restaurant.
Wang Jingjing was initially nervous, but by the time actual filming began, he had completely adjusted his mood.
This guy was also a man of the world, and he quickly became familiar with everyone.
Liang Kun quietly said to Lin Feng:
"This little fatty is quite a talent; you could consider bringing him into your fold."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"Forget it. He's a director, after all. No need to mess with his life."
Liang Kun glared at him:
"I'm talking about Qiankun Film and Television."
Lin Feng chuckled:
"I already signed a cooperation agreement with him."
"For the next few years, he's my exclusive director."
Liang Kun was dismissive:
"Contracts are meant to be torn up."
"What's the point of signing a contract?"
Lin Feng said calmly:
"That's not wrong to say, but the problem is, I set the breach of contract penalty a bit high."
Liang Kun asked curiously:
"How much?"
Lin Feng said casually:
"Two hundred million!"
Liang Kun was stunned for a long while, then finally blurted out:
"You're ruthless!"
"Two hundred million hong kong dollar... you might as well just rob someone!"
Lin Feng burst out laughing:
"This is much simpler than robbery!"
Liang Kun complained:
"You're still ruthless."
He asked curiously,
"This isn't like you, Ah Feng. Why are you scheming against this little fatty?"
Lin Feng reined in his smile and said seriously:
"Our Hung Hing needs to transform, and image building is essential."
"Movies are actually the most talked-about things."
"A good classic can be discussed for over a decade."
Liang Kun was surprised:
"Do movies have that much power?"
Lin Feng replied:
"Yes!"
"For example, the generation of police officers like Lui Lok and Lung Shing-pang almost completely ruined their reputation."
"Those of us in the Triad all know what kind of people those police officers were."
"Take Lui Lok, for instance,"
"I've never seen anyone more shameless than him."
"He actually escorted drug traffickers, used violence to consolidate Triads, and paved the way for white powder."
"It's just that I wasn't born in that era, otherwise, I would have definitely taken out Lui Lok first!"
Liang Kun nodded in agreement:
"I believe you could have taken him out."
Everyone in Hong Kong knew that Lin Feng hated drug traffickers the most.
If Lin Feng and Lui Lok had been born in the same era, it's very likely that both Lung Shing-pang and Lui Lok would have been assassinated.
Liang Kun had no doubt about Lin Feng's abilities.
"Lui Lok and Lung Shing-pang, those two guys were geniuses. They created a vast network that almost caught all the police officers."
"Only a few would escape that network."
"The poisonous legacy continues to this day; we still hear about corrupt police officers from time to time."
"So, what's the reputation of the police now?"
Liang Kun sighed:
"Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is, the police's reputation is pretty good."
Lin Feng asked with a smile:
"Why is that?"
Liang Kun was also puzzled:
"Why is that?"
Lin Feng whispered:
"The TV Television Station!"
"After Lui Lok and Lung Shing-pang fled, the Police Station set up a public relations department."
"They invested a lot of money in publicity."
"Especially TV Television Station promotions."
Liang Kun was startled:
"TV Television Station? TV series?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"Yes!"
"It's the subtle influence of TV series."
"In just a few years, the image of the police completely turned around."
"Even though there are still corrupt police officers now, in the minds of citizens, the image of the police is grand."
"This is worth learning from."
Liang Kun immediately felt that it made sense.
"It seems we can also learn, right?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"Of course, otherwise, I wouldn't have said this."
Liang Kun frowned:
"Can just movies work?"
Lin Feng thought for a moment and asked:
"Brother, do you want to hear the truth?"
Liang Kun's eyes widened:
"You brat, are you trying to trick me again?"
Lin Feng chuckled:
"After this series, our Hung Hing will become the focus of discussion in the underworld, and who knows how many ignorant youths will be drawn to join our Hung Hing."
"As for our reputation... it definitely won't be very good."
Ah?!
Liang Kun immediately became anxious:
"Then you still want to film it?"
Lin Feng said as a matter of course:
"This is one of the stages of 'whitewashing,' just stirring up the waters!"
"Anyway, we're going to reorganize and transform; it's a long process, so we'll take it slowly."
Liang Kun pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked:
"You still have a backup plan, don't you?"
Lin Feng nodded:
"Yes!"
"Isn't our fourth sibling still working at the TV Television Station?"
"I want to buy her a TV Television Station to play with."
Liang Kun gasped:
"You're quite bold, buying a TV Television Station to play with?"
"However, with your wealth, it's not impossible."
He suddenly paused,
"The little fatty's father seems to be a big director at the TV Television Station, with many disciples, right?"
Lin Feng laughed heartily:
"I knew I couldn't hide it from Brother Kun."
"That's right, after buying the TV Television Station, we can use the little fatty's connections to invite his father, Director Wang, over."
"Even if the big director doesn't come, it doesn't matter. Since the little fatty is here, we're not worried that the big director's disciples won't come."
"By then, we'll have plenty of manpower."
"Then I can slowly whitewash Hung Hing."
Liang Kun sighed;
"Ah Feng, remember to eat more walnuts later."
Lin Feng asked, puzzled:
"Why do you want me to eat that stuff?"
Liang Kun said speechlessly:
"Eat more walnuts; they're good for your brain."
"You're planning too far ahead, aren't you?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"Far?"
"I'm just doing it casually."
"By the way, Brother Kun, once the Hong Kong scenes are finished, I need to go to Taiwan."
Liang Kun was startled:
"Go to Taiwan?"
"Are you going to see Ding Yao?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"There's an interesting fellow on the island whom I want to take in."
Liang Kun was utterly confused:
"Is he in finance?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"No!"
Liang Kun advised:
"Ah Feng, didn't you say we're going to transform and stop being a Triad?"
"Why do you still want to take people in?"
Lin Feng said softly:
"I plan to throw this guy into Okamoto or South Korea."
Ah?!
Liang Kun was confused by Lin Feng's actions:
"What are you trying to do?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"Hong Kong is our Mainland, after all, so we should just do business honestly according to the rules."
"South Korea or Okamoto isn't our Mainland, so we don't need to be polite."
"What's more, they have a grudge against us."
Okamoto, in particular, bears great guilt towards our Mainland.
If Lin Feng didn't properly mess with them, he wouldn't feel at peace.
Liang Kun didn't ask anything else, only asking:
"Can we make money?"
Lin Feng naturally replied:
"Of course!"
Liang Kun smiled:
"Then go for it!"
"When you're out in the world, making money comes first; everything else is superficial."
"If you go to Okamoto, I still have some connections there that you can use."
Lin Feng laughed heartily:
"I knew Brother Kun understood me."
Liang Kun asked again:
"Do you need my help?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"That won't be necessary."
"It's a small matter."
The two brothers exchanged glances and smiled together.
Li Fu walked over,
"Brother Feng, Brother Bao's call."
Lin Feng asked with a smile:
"Brother Bao, what brings you to call me?"
Dai Kuen Pao was very excited:
"Benny said you want to invest in the bridge?"
Lin Feng was slightly startled:
"You're quick!"
"I just told him; how did you know so fast?"
Dai Kuen Pao explained:
"The higher-ups are interested in Benny's channels, so I was ordered to contact him."
"I didn't expect such an unexpected gain."
"Mr. Lin, do you really want to invest in the bridge?"
"That would require at least one billion hong kong dollar."
Lin Feng said very directly:
"I'll prepare two billion for you, but I want a formal contract."
Dai Kuen Pao readily agreed:
"As long as you can raise two billion, everything else is negotiable!"
