Chapter 1988: On the Hunan and Hong Kong Entertainment Circles



Zhang Xuan promptly transferred the two paging stations to the girl.

Zhang Juan has worked at the paging station for two or three years, so she naturally knows how much profit the paging station makes. Even if the service fees are greatly reduced now, the two stations still have an annual income of more than tens of millions.

After deducting various expenses, it is not difficult to save five or six million a year.

She could earn back the two million transfer fee in a quarter, so she happily accepted it.

Zhang Xuan also told her that she could still work at the paging station for another four to five years, and then switch to selling mobile phones.

This was the path that Wan Feng had designed for her, and now it has all been transferred to Zhang Juan.

After Zhang Xuan sold the paging station, he returned to Jiangwei and helped Luan Feng manage the garment factory.

During this period, Nanwan Group's second microvan production line finally started operation.

This is a flexible automatic production line with a production capacity of 60,000 units. The entire production line has a very high degree of automation, and only a dozen people are needed to complete the work of dozens of people.

This is also the reason why this production line took a year to build.

The commissioning of this line has alleviated the tight market demand for Light of Happiness.

The Light of Happiness became a favorite from the day it was launched. Its cool appearance, excellent power and low price made it the first choice for car buyers who had the conditions at that time.

But it also took advantage of the fact that there were not many options on the market at that time.

Lin Lairong also had her eye on the Light of Happiness. She saw this car in a TV commercial when she went to Shenzhen for business.

At first she didn't pay much attention to it, but the slogan "I have traveled thousands of miles, and the road is right under my feet" sounded very catchy.

But it was the phrase "Proudly produced by Nanwan Group" in the advertisement that caught her attention.

When she found out that the price of this car was only 45,000 yuan, she quickly thought that this car must have a considerable market in Hunan and Hong Kong.

She wasn't sure if there would be more, but selling a few thousand vehicles should be possible.

This is also a profit of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. There is no reason for her not to do it.

Lin Lairong called Wan Feng and told him that she wanted to take the Light of Happiness to Xianggang to sell it, but was rejected by Wan Feng.

The Light of Happiness is not selling well in the country, so there is no need to sell it abroad.

Lin Lairong came here in anger and shamelessly took away three thousand cars.

"Are you people from Hunan and Hong Kong so shameless for money?"

"Who said we are shameless for money?"

"Haha, if you want to see the cultural heritage of a place, you can get the answer by watching its literary and artistic works. I've watched hundreds of your Xianggang movies, and I've found that apart from money, I really can't see anything else in them. I can confirm that you're a society where money is enough to give up everything."

"So this is how you understand us, the people of Hunan and Hong Kong?"

"How do you understand that? Oh right! Speaking of movies, I have something for you to do. There's an actress named Yuehui in your Xianggang area. She's probably having a pretty miserable life right now. Use your connections to invest in two films a year for her and have her play the female lead."

Lin Lairong looked at Wan Feng in confusion: "Are you also planning to keep a little celebrity like those bosses in Xianggang?"

"I bet your sister! She came from the mainland, but unfortunately she was blind and met a worthless old man. Back then, she was my idol before she left the mainland. I still remember her movies vividly. As a fan, I'll help her out."

This star named Yuehui gave up a bright future in the mainland and ran away to Hunan and Hong Kong with an old gangster who was more than 30 years older than her. She then became worse than a ghost and finally couldn't survive and jumped off a building and died in 1996. She was only 28 years old at that time.

If she had not left the mainland at that time, the role of Wang Xifeng in the 1987 version of Dream of the Red Chamber would have belonged to him, and Deng Jie would have had no chance at all.

She was only eighteen years old that year, and her future was truly limitless. What a pity!

If it weren't for the person who jumped off the building and died later, Wan Feng would not bother to care about someone who was so poor that he couldn't make a living but refused to return to the mainland.

But since he knew her fate, Wan Feng felt that it was better for her to be alive than dead. After all, she was his idol and dream lover in his previous life.

To put it another way, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, so it is always a good thing.

"Do you want me to introduce you to each other?" Lin Lairong said in a ghostly voice.

Wan Feng shook his head: "She is not that kind of person, and neither am I."

The reason why Yuehui ended up jumping off a building after being abandoned by the old man in Xianggang was because she was not an open-minded person. If she had been more open-minded, she would not have ended up committing suicide.

Lin Lairong curled his lips: "Do you think I will believe it? There is no good thing about rich men."

"That doesn't include me. Hey! Why should I explain this to you? You can get out of here now. Don't forget what I told you to do."

"So I have to set up a film company when I get back."

"Haha, let me put it this way. Even if you set up a film company, I won't make any losses with you. But the golden age of Hunan and Hong Kong films has passed. This isn't a good investment project. You'd better stay away from it."

Although the entertainment industry in Hunan and Hong Kong still had a few years of glory, it became increasingly difficult to maintain after the 2000s.

There are many reasons why the Hunan and Hong Kong entertainment industries began to decline after entering 2000, but Wan Feng believes that Cantonese plays a big role.

The glory of the Hunan and Hong Kong entertainment circles began with Cantonese songs and then developed into movies.

This has led to the Hunan and Hong Kong entertainment circles being extremely superstitious about Cantonese, with both songs and movies being mainly in Cantonese.

There are hardly any singers in Hunan and Hong Kong who sing Mandarin songs, and some of them can't even speak Mandarin fluently.

Probably except for the circle near Xianggang in Dongguan Province, not many people in the country know what they are singing. If people don’t know what you are singing, why should they know you and remember you?

This is why fewer and fewer people know about them the more they get involved.

After 1997, they did not integrate into the Chinese-speaking circle in mainland China in a timely manner, which was the main reason for their failure.

The reason why they were unwilling to integrate into the mainland cultural circle was not only because of the different education they received since childhood, but also because of the huge economic gap between the two places at that time.

However, the mainland's development speed is rocket-like, and it is rising at a speed that even the Chinese themselves can't believe.

Even so, the entertainment circles in Hunan and Hong Kong didn't understand what was going on. They didn't seem to look down on the mainland's market, which was envied by everyone in the world, and were still tinkering around in their own little piece of land.

In the years before Wan Feng's rebirth, apart from the veteran stars from Hunan and Hong Kong, almost no one in the mainland knew the new generation of stars.

Wan Feng had watched the Golden Melody Awards Ceremony held by TVB in 2017, which had been held for decades. In the entire evening, apart from Hacken Lee, there was no one Wan Feng had heard of.

This shows how closed and narcissistic they have become.

It would be unfair if the Hunan and Hong Kong entertainment industries did not decline.

This is why Wan Feng did not support Lin Lairong's entry into the entertainment industry.
