Hong Kong General: The Departed? No, I am the Hong Kong Island Tyrant
Chapter 136: Movie release, huge network of contacts!
Chapter 136: Movie release, huge network of contacts!
5 month 30 number.
Today is the day the movie is released.
Because of Di Weifeng, the premiere was not scheduled at the midnight or late night show with the least number of viewers, but it could not be scheduled at the prime time show with the largest number of viewers. Instead, it was scheduled at noon.
At 12 noon, the movie was shown on time in more than cinemas including Shaw Brothers and several other cooperating film companies.
There was no such thing as a premiere ceremony in that era, so Di Qing did not specially organize any premiere. He simply booked the Mong Kok Theatre and led the entire company to watch the play.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Di Qing had already rushed to the Mong Kok Theater with Qiu Di's three daughters.
He thought he had arrived early, but when he arrived at the theater entrance he found that it was already very lively.
Tang Twelve, Coke, Jiuwenlong, Awu and Ahua, each brought a group of younger brothers with them, and there were probably more than a hundred of them.
This huge scene made the security guards at the theater entrance feel like they were facing a great enemy. Even passers-by looked sideways, thinking that some gangsters were fighting here. Some people even secretly called the police.
But when the police received the news and arrived and understood the situation, they were also stunned.
Because these people are not here to fight, but to watch a movie.
At first the police didn't believe it, but when these thugs showed a movie ticket, they became a little unsure.
But people have bought movie tickets, and it is not easy for them to disperse the crowd. What if they really come to see the movie?
But the police did not dare to be careless. They first called the headquarters to explain the situation, and then specially sent several people to stand guard and keep an eye on the group of people.
If they really came to watch a movie, it would be fine, but if they wanted to fight or cause trouble, they would be able to stop them immediately.
So such a dramatic scene appeared in front of the theater.
Seven or eight policemen stood at the street corner, watching closely, but more than a hundred gangsters outside the theater were acting as if nothing had happened, gathering in groups of three or five to brag and chat.
Di Qing's Celicio was damaged by a sniper yesterday and has been taken to the repair shop for repairs, so today he took Qiu Di and the others' Honda business car.
Seeing the car approaching, all the younger brothers stood up to greet it and shouted loudly: "Brother Qing!"
For a moment, the whole street seemed to be quiet.
Many passers-by stopped to watch and began to talk about it.
The faces of the few policemen who had just relaxed around them also changed slightly. Their right hands rested on their holsters or walkie-talkies at their waists, and their eyes were fixed on the Honda commercial vehicle.
Then, they saw three men in suits getting out of the car. Two of them were of similar age, around 30 years old, tall, with a military temperament. The other one looked to be less than 20 years old and had a very good temperament.
But these three people seem to be just bodyguards.
I saw three people guarding beside the car, followed by another short-haired young man who was also wearing a suit and had a handsome and cold face getting out from the back seat, followed by three more beautiful women who were dressed beautifully and had first-class figures and looks.
"Sister-in-law!"
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
A group of younger brothers greeted them one after another. Others didn't know who they were calling, but the three girls of Qiu Di all blushed slightly.
Although they had established a relationship with Di Qing, they were still a little uncomfortable being in public.
Di Qing waved his hand, signaling everyone to keep a low profile.
He glanced at the scene, then turned to look at the vigilant policemen around him, frowned, and said, "What are you all doing here? Why don't you go in first?"
Tang Twelve said: "Brother Qing, there is still a movie going on inside, and the hall can't accommodate so many people."
Hearing this, Di Qing felt somewhat helpless, sighed, and said, "Then wait outside."
He also didn't expect that just watching a movie would turn out to be like showing off horses in H society.
But they just came to watch a movie today, not to do anything illegal, so the police can just let them see it.
While waiting, Di Qing called Tang Twelve and his men aside and asked, "How is your search going?"
Tang Twelve was the first to speak up: "Brother Qing, the brothers searched all night last night but didn't find the shooter. However, Brother Kun has spread the news and many societies are willing to help us find him."
Coke and the other three also nodded.
"Okay, you should focus on investigating Zhongqing Society and Dongxing. Not only should you find out the gunman, but also who is behind him!" Di Qing ordered.
"I know, Brother Qing." Tang Twelve and the others nodded.
Just then, another car drove over and people from the company also arrived.
Di Weifeng and the people from the company and the crew got out of the car and greeted each other.
Seeing the grand scene in front of the theater, Di Weifeng was also a little surprised, but he didn't say much. He walked forward with a happy face and said, "Ah Qing, the theater chain just called me and said that out of the 30,000 tickets for our movie today, more than 20,000 have been sold. Even the tickets for the midnight and late-night shows are almost sold out!"
"What? So fast?!"
Hearing this, everyone was a little surprised.
Di Qing was also a little surprised.
Today is the first day of the movie's release. The number of films shot in theaters is not high, with an average of only one or two shows a day in each cinema, and except for the first show at noon, the rest are midnight and late night shows.
Di Qing was also worried that the tickets would not be sold, so he only printed 30,000 tickets.
But every time I think about it, the tickets are sold out before the first show even starts?
"Correct!"
Di Weifeng couldn't hide his smile on his face: "The cinema chain said that as soon as the tickets started to go on sale, a lot of people came to buy them. Almost every cinema is the same, especially the first show at 12 o'clock. Almost all the tickets are sold out. Now there are a lot of people waiting outside every cinema to watch..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the dense crowd at the theater entrance and said, "It's almost the same as here!"
Hearing this, everyone was very happy.
The movie is so popular right after it was released, the box office will definitely not be too bad!
This is a good thing!
Di Qing turned around and looked at the younger brothers brought by Tang Shier and others, and vaguely understood something.
"Drip..."
Just then, a horn sounded.
Everyone turned around and saw several more cars coming, leading the way was a Mercedes-Benz with a tiger-head. The black body of the car and the upright logo were very eye-catching.
Then the car stopped by the roadside, the door opened, and Liang Kun, Sha Qiang and Da Ben Xiang got out of the tiger-head Mercedes-Benz. He was wearing an orange suit, holding a cigar in his mouth, and looked like a successful man.
The cars behind were filled with Prince, Feilong, Abao and others.
"Qingzai!"
Liang Kun waved and walked up to him. He then took the cigar box from Sha Qiang, gave one to Di Qing, and said with a smile, "How is it? Is this outfit okay, Boss?"
Di Qing took the cigar, looked it up and down, then looked at the cigar on his phone and the Benz on the side of the road, and asked in surprise: "Brother Kun, when did you learn to do this?" Sha Qiang smiled and said: "Brother Qing, Brother Kun said that Mercedes-Benz should be paired with cigars, so that it looks like a big boss."
Di Qing was somewhat speechless and asked, "Did Brother Kun give you the Mazda that can cause traffic jams?"
The corner of Sha Qiang's mouth twitched and he suddenly couldn't laugh anymore. Damn Mazda!
"Qingzai!"
"Brother Qing!"
The prince and Feilong and others also came forward to say hello.
Di Qing smiled and responded, "Thank you, Brother Prince and Brother Feilong, for coming to support us."
"We are all brothers, why should we be so polite?" Feilong said with a smile.
"Feilong is right!"
Liang Kun was about to pat Di Qing's shoulder, but when he saw the three women from Qiudi's face change and glare at him, he suddenly remembered that Di Qing's shoulder had just been injured, so he smiled awkwardly and quickly patted the other shoulder twice, saying:
"This is the first time my most powerful younger brother is making a movie. As the boss, I definitely can't let this movie do poorly at the box office, right?"
"Don't worry, your movie is showing for the first time today, I guarantee that every show will be sold out!"
Looking at Liang Kun's confident look, Di Qing asked in surprise, "Brother Kun, you didn't really ask everyone in the club to come and see it, did you?"
"That is required!"
Liang Kun waved his hand and said, "I have already ordered the district leaders to bring their subordinates to watch the movie. No matter if they want to watch it or not, they must buy tickets. Not buying tickets means they are not giving face to the boss. Let's see who dares not to buy tickets!"
"..."
Di Qing was speechless for a moment, but he was still somewhat moved in his heart.
Brother Kun is now the leader of Hongxing. Who dares not to come when he gives the order?
There are 20,000 to 30,000 people in Hongxing, and if each person gets one ticket, it will be no problem to sell out all 30,000 tickets today. No wonder the tickets are selling so quickly.
"Thank you, Brother Kun, you are so thoughtful!" Di Qing thanked him.
Liang Kun waved his hands: "You are my younger brother, if I don't support you, who will?"
"Besides, you lent me all the equipment you needed to make the movie. I am more or less an investor in this movie. If the movie fails, it will be embarrassing for you, Boss!"
"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
As everyone chatted and laughed, time passed slowly, and soon it was time for the movie to begin.
Di Qing was just about to invite everyone to go into the cinema.
But at this time, another car came from a distance and started honking from a distance.
Di Qing turned his head and looked, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised again.
"Qingzai!"
"Aqing!"
The car stopped on the side of the road. Uncle Guixing from Lianhe came over with a cane, accompanied by Xu Youcai, Xianshi and others, and a group of Lianhe's younger brothers followed behind.
"Why are these losers here?" Not only Di Qing, but also Liang Kun and others were a little surprised.
"He should be here to show his support." Di Qing said.
He originally thought that Gui Xing's previous phone call saying that he would bring people to support the movie after it was released was just talk, but he didn't expect that he would actually come.
"How's it going, Ah Qing, are we not late?"
Uncle Guixing came up with his men and asked with a smile.
Di Qing hurriedly went to meet him and said with a smile: "Uncle Guixing, it is never too late for you to come. It is just a small matter. I am really sorry to bother you to come here."
"Haha."
Uncle Guixing laughed, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Since I promised to come and support you, I will definitely not break my promise. Although I am old and my thinking cannot keep up with you young people, I am still quick to accept new things. Whether it is a play or a movie, I will still watch it occasionally."
"It seems that your movie is really good, Qing. I originally wanted to ask Youcai and the others to buy tickets, but I didn't expect the cinema to call and say that the tickets were sold out. There is no other way. An old man like me can only come here uninvited. I hope you don't mind, Qing."
Di Qing naturally knew why he couldn't buy a ticket, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Guixing, what are you talking about? I'm very happy that you can come. Don't worry, even if I don't watch it today, Uncle Guixing, you will definitely have a ticket!"
As Di Qing spoke, he quickly asked Tang Twelve and his men to take a few tickets from his younger brother and give them to Gui Xing and the others.
Uncle Guixing was also very satisfied. He encouraged and praised him a few more times, then looked at Liangkun standing beside him and said with a smile, "Ah Kun, are you here to support Ah Qing too?"
Liang Kun rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense, Uncle Guixing? Qingzai is my younger brother. If I don't support him, who will? And to tell you the truth, the reason why you can't buy a ticket is because all the tickets today have been bought by our Hongxing people. If you want to support my younger brother, it's not your turn today!"
Although Guixing came to support Di Qing, Liangkun still felt a little unhappy. We are from Hongxing, so how can it be the turn of your allies to support us?
What are you doing? Are you trying to poach people?
Uncle Guixing laughed. He could hear the sting in Liangkun's words, but he didn't care. He said with a smile, "We are all family. Why should we be so clear about it?"
"So your united territory is our Hongxing territory, and your united business is also our Hongxing business?"
Liang Kun said in a hoarse voice: "Uncle Guixing, do you want me to take part in your business?"
"As long as you, A Kun, want to invest money, I certainly have no objection." Uncle Guixing laughed.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Di Qing quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Brother Kun, Uncle Guixing, the movie is about to start, let's watch the movie first."
Liang Kun snorted, too lazy to argue with this old man, and turned around and walked towards the cinema.
Uncle Guixing, supported by Xu Youcai and Xianshi, walked towards the theater with a smile on his face.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, another round of horns sounded, followed by one car after another driving to the theater entrance.
"Handsome Qing, isn't your movie coming out today? Here I come!"
"Ah Qing! Haha...long time no see!"
Feihong from the Changle Gang and Yaowen from Hengzi came with their men respectively, laughing loudly and stepped forward to say hello.
They didn't stop here. Following Xin Liansheng's Lin Yaochang, Hong Bao's Ren Yinjiu, and even Hong Le Shishi and Zhengxing Dizang, people they had never met before, all came with their people.
The dense concentration of vehicles and crowds directly caused a traffic jam, just like a gathering of young and dangerous gangsters.
This huge network of contacts stunned Liang Kun, Uncle Gui Xing and others who had not yet entered the cinema.
The faces of several policemen nearby changed drastically, and they immediately called the headquarters to report the situation and request reinforcements.
Oh my god, so many people came to watch a movie?
What a liar!
This group of dwarf mules must be looking for trouble!
In the crowd, Di Qing was surrounded by a group of people, greeting and asking questions, and he was a little confused at this time.
When did I become so prestigious?
