"One Hundred Percent Feeling" ranked ninth on the Hunan and Hong Kong film box office list in 1996, earning 20.8 million yuan at the box office.
If this film could enter the mainland theaters, it would have no problem earning hundreds of millions of yuan at the box office.
But Wan Feng is not very familiar with the mainland film distribution department. How can he get this film released in mainland theaters?
In fact, the release of Hunan and Hong Kong films in mainland China can be traced back to the 1960s and 1970s, but they were all films produced by left-wing film companies, such as Great Wall Phoenix. It took several years for other films to be released in mainland China.
No, Wan Feng remembers that Stephen Chow’s movies were shown in mainland theaters in the 1990s, and Jackie Chan’s Rumble in the Bronx was also shown in mainland China.
It seems there is a trick here. I can go back and ask someone.
Wan Feng had watched the movie "100% Feeling" in his previous life and it was quite interesting. Although the heroine has changed this time, Yue Hui's performance is still very good.
After all, mainland actors’ acting skills are still very strong.
Although Yuehui's comedy performance was a little lacking, the emotional part was still very exciting.
Maybe it was because she had seen spring recently, Yuehui's decadent temperament was swept away, replaced by an ambitious expression full of enthusiasm for life, which added a lot of charm to her.
Among those who attended the premiere were several influential figures in the Hunan and Hong Kong film industry. Wan Feng thought they looked familiar but he couldn't remember their names.
Among them was a man in his fifties named Wan Feng who looked very familiar.
When Lin Lairong introduced Wan Feng to him, the other party's name was very familiar to him: Cheng Huimin.
Oh my god! Isn’t this the boss of a certain 4K gang in Hunan and Hong Kong?
This guy has acted in many movies, and his name appears in many of them.
I didn’t expect that Lin Lairong actually invited him.
"Mr. Cheng's name is well-known throughout the mainland. I didn't expect to see you here today."
"Hello, Boss Wan. Miss Lin told me about you. Have you seen my movies in mainland China?"
Wan Feng and Cheng Huimin shook hands.
The two men greeted each other politely. Cheng Huimin glanced at Han Guangjia and He Youliang behind Wan Feng, with some fear in his eyes.
"Mr. Cheng is highly respected in the Hunan and Hong Kong film and television circles. I have seen many of your films, such as "The Rivers and Lakes" and "The Man from Mong Kok" which was released two days ago. We share the same hardships and are like brothers..."
Wan Feng listed more than ten films that Cheng Huimin had acted in in one breath.
"I didn't expect that Boss Wan also likes to watch my movies. I was just acting blindly." Cheng Huimin's face flashed with excitement.
"Mr. Cheng, you're too modest. Do you know what I like about your movies? Cruelty! I like your cruelty!"
Cheng Huimin himself was a thug, so how could he have made it without being ruthless?
During the banquet, Wan Feng and Cheng Huimin had a very pleasant chat, starting with the topic of movies and then moving on to business.
"I heard from Miss Lin that Boss Wan owns a large group company in mainland China that specializes in electronics and machinery manufacturing. That's impressive!"
"Mr. Cheng just said that you are blindly acting in movies, and I am also blindly doing business here. It's the same for me."
Cheng Huimin laughed heartily: "Ahahahaha! Boss Xiao Wan, do one!"
Wan Feng and Cheng Huimin drank a glass.
"Boss Xiao Wan! Hunan and Hong Kong will return to the motherland next year. I'd like to invest in some business in the mainland. Does Boss Xiao Wan have any good business to recommend?"
If you want to know when the Xianggang Blackshooting Club will be the most honest, it is probably now.
After the return of Hong Kong in 1997, the Black Shooting Society in Hunan and Hong Kong is now in chaos.
Some have moved overseas, some have retired from criminal activities, some have surrendered themselves, and some are preparing to cooperate with the mainland.
Cheng Huimin is one of those who cooperates with the mainland. He had investments in the mainland in his previous life, but Wan Feng is not quite sure what projects he invested in.
"I wonder what kind of business Mr. Cheng likes? My business is all about machining and electronics. I don't think Mr. Cheng would be very interested."
Apart from real estate and finance, Wan Feng really couldn't think of what else the people from Hunan and Hong Kong would do.
The only processing industry they are capable of is probably food.
"Ms. Lin said that Mr. Lin and Boss Wan also have business dealings?"
"Oh! You mean real estate? I've set up a company in Shenzhen with Mr. Lin, Mr. Ye Qianwen, a local, and Mr. Yu Jiadong from northern China. We've been working together for many years. Is Mr. Cheng interested?"
"Mr. Xiao Wan, you know that we Xianggang people have a kind of obsession with bricks. I do plan to enter this industry."
What Cheng Huimin said was true. People from Hunan and Hong Kong do have an obsession with houses that is ingrained in their DNA. As far as Wan Feng knows, many celebrities in the film and television industry are firm house hoarders.
For example, Ren Xhua would buy a house as soon as he saved enough money, from Xianggang to Southeast Asia and the mainland.
"Mr. Cheng wants to invest in real estate? Well, there's an opportunity right now. I wonder if Cheng Huimin dares to enter the market?"
"You mean now?"
"According to my speculation, after the return of Hunan and Hong Kong to China next year, there will be a big drop in the housing and land markets in Hunan and Hong Kong. The drop will be greater than you can imagine, and this decline will last for several years. If you have the courage and money, go for it. I guarantee that you will make a fortune worth a fortune in no more than five years."
There was indeed a period of time when the government wanted to sell the land in Xianggang but was unable to do so. Of course, this had nothing to do with the return of Xianggang, but it did have something to do with the Asian financial crisis.
The 85,000 plan launched by the first Chief Executive died in the hands of the financial crisis and protests.
It was during this period that land and housing prices in Xianggang were halved.
In fact, people from Hunan and Hong Kong are all poor in spirit. This period is the best time to buy a house, but these losers all took to the streets to protest, and no one bought a house at this time.
Buying a house at this time will make you a lot of money.
Lin Lairong came over immediately after hearing this: "Really? Boss Wan, are you going to join us? If you do, count me in."
"Go away! Go play somewhere else, ladies. The adults are talking about serious matters."
Lin Lairong curled his lips.
Cheng Huimin was skeptical: "Xiao Wan! Are you serious?"
The housing market in Xianggang has been rising for several consecutive years, which is not consistent with what Wan Feng said about it being cut in half!
Cheng Huimin's way of addressing Wan Feng changed from Boss Wan to Little Boss Wan, Mr. Xiao Wan, and now to Little Wan.
"Didn't I say it was just speculation? But my speculations are always accurate, so I think they should be right. So, I estimate it will appear by the end of next year. If Mr. Cheng is interested, how about you and Miss Lin setting up a real estate company?"
Cheng Huimin didn't agree immediately: "Xiao Wan! It's not too late to discuss this later."
"No problem. That's next year anyway, so there's no rush. How about we talk about the movie? If this movie is successful, I'm planning to ask Mr. Cheng to collaborate on my next movie. How about that?"
"That's fine too."
"Then it's settled."
Wan Feng and Cheng Huimin shook hands again.
