Hong Kong General: The Departed? No, I am the Hong Kong Island Tyrant

Chapter 137: Liang Kun: I’m really not a villain!

Just for a movie premiere, people from six or seven clubs showed up.

Not to mention Liang Kun, even Di Qing himself was a little confused.

He could understand why Uncle Guixing from Lianhe brought people here, after all, he also had a share in Uncle Guixing's running business.

But most of the others had only met once at the meetings of various major associations because of the Ni family incident, and then had a drink with each other and added contact information, but that was just acquaintance.

Although the movie advertisements were so popular a few days ago and the news spread, these people also called to say that they would bring people to support the movie on the day it was released, but Di Qing did not take it to heart.

Although he is doing well now, he doesn't think he can really have such a big face.

We are all here to make a living, it's just talk, if you take it seriously you are really crazy.

But I didn’t expect that these people would actually come today when the movie was released!
Moreover, it would be fine if these people came, but why did Hongle's Shishi and Zhengxing's Dizang, who have never met each other, come to join in the fun?
But no matter what, the people have come and he can't help but entertain them.

And that's a good thing too.

No matter what purpose these people come for, the more they come, the more popular their movies will be.

As for what kind of help they want me to do later, that depends on the situation. In a word, you can help, but it has to be beneficial!

So Di Qing pretended to be familiar with everyone and received them warmly.

But this is hard for Tang Twelve and the younger brothers that Coke brought with them.

I thought I could have a good time watching a movie, but I didn't expect more and more big guys to come, and in the end all the younger brothers' movie tickets were given away.

Even Tang Twelve and the others almost had no chance to watch.

But after a long time, everyone finally entered the cinema and waited for the movie to start.

Film producers such as Di Qing, Di Weifeng, as well as the chairmen or regional leaders of major societies such as Liang Kun, Gui Xingshu, Yao Wen, and Fei Hong were all arranged in the first row. They were all dressed in suits and shirts, and looked extraordinary.

The others, including Tang Twelve and Ah Bao, could only sit in the second and third rows...

Further back were the employees of Qinglong Film Company and other audience members who had bought tickets to watch the film after seeing the Young and Dangerous advertisement.

Some of them were people from TV stations and newspapers hired by Di Weifeng.

The promotion of a movie should not only be done before its release, but also after it is released.

After all, even if you promote it very well before it is released, if the word of mouth is too bad after it is released, no one will continue to buy it.

Therefore, publicity after the release is also very important.

These reporters from TV stations and newspapers are the so-called film critics in previous lives, and the promotion after the release still mainly depends on them.

In the end, the theater with a capacity of 500 people was completely filled!

Then, the movie began.

Produced by Qinglong Film Culture...

Producer, supervisor, director, actor...

A few big words of "Young and Dangerous" floated by, and the movie officially entered the plot:

In 1956, the Shek Kip Mei fire...

The protagonist, the handsome Yao and his five-member team, appear; the villain appears; the handsome Yao boss appears...

The protagonists defeated the rival gang leader and rose to the top, the car was stolen, and the heroine Arun appeared...

The protagonists went to Macau and were framed, slept with their brother's girlfriend, the villain took over, the boss was killed, and finally they successfully killed the villain and became the boss of Causeway Bay.

The plot of the movie is full of ups and downs. The various characters and the movie interludes "I'm the Boss" and "Years of Friendship", as well as the song "Swords and Shadows" sung by the handsome Yao and his five friends in the bar, all made all the audience's eyes light up.

Including people from other societies such as Liang Kun, Tai Zi, Fei Long and Gui Xing Shu.

They came to the cinema today mainly to give face to Di Qing and to show their support. They had no idea what the movie was about or how it was done.

But gradually, they were all attracted by the plot of the movie.

Isn’t the story of the handsome protagonist Yao Wu in the movie a true portrayal of many young and dangerous teenagers in Hong Kong today?

He chose to join the gang because he was bullied, but eventually he got deeper and deeper into it, completely embarking on the road of no return.

In the film, the plot where the protagonists were framed and forced was also filmed very realistically.

In fact, many of them have come this way, and their process of rising to the top has more or less something in common with Handsome Yao and the others.

As the movie ended, the cinema was silent. Liang Kun, Uncle Gui Xing and others seemed to be still immersed in their memories.

"Clap clap clap..."

Finally, everyone came to their senses and gave a round of applause out of respect.

This movie, how should I put it...there's something!
"Ah Qing, your film Young and Dangerous is really great!"

Uncle Guixing was the first to speak. He turned to look at Di Qing beside him and said, "I don't know if other people like to watch it, but those of us who hang out outside definitely like to watch it!"

"Not bad!"

"Ah Qing, you made such a great movie!"

"Young and Dangerous: The Gangs, once you are in the Gangs, you have no choice, right? We were just like Handsome Yao and the others back then, we had no choice but to join the gang because we were bullied. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, we can't go back!"

"Yes, I still remember that I was working at Tai Kok Tsui Pier and was bullied by the people from Hutchison Whampoa, so I chose to join the society..."

Everyone was very moved. But it was obvious that they really felt that the film was well made.

Hearing this, Di Qing and Di Weifeng looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.

The first show received a good response!

At least it attracted these underworld audiences, so it can be considered a success. Even if the final box office is bad, it shouldn't be too bad.

"but……"

At this time, Uncle Guixing suddenly turned his head to look at Liangkun and said with a smile: "Ah Kun, I heard that these guys in the movie are from your Hongxing, right? This movie is not adapted from a true story, right? Isn't the villain who became the leader in it..."

After hearing this, everyone reacted and looked at Liang Kun with strange expressions.

If Uncle Guixing hadn't said it, they seemed to have no idea what was going on.

The character of this villain in the movie does seem to be somewhat similar to that of Liang Kun, arrogant and domineering, and both are neurotic, especially the part where he goes "Who killed my good brother... I'm very angry now", his acting is the most damn similar!
However, the villain's method of becoming the leader in the movie was not very glorious. He relied on framing the protagonist, Handsome Yao, and several others to seduce his sister-in-law, and used this as a handle to bribe other decision-makers to vote for him, and only then was he able to take the lead.

Moreover, he became even more unscrupulous after taking power, killing people's families at any time. In the end, he reaped the fruits of his own labor and was killed by the protagonists...

Facing everyone's gaze, the corner of Liang Kun's mouth twitched. He first glared at Di Qing fiercely, then snorted coldly: "It's just a movie, Uncle Guixing, what are you talking about? I was elected as the leader of Hongxing because of my ability. I am completely different from that useless leader in the movie!"

"Really? Haha..." Uncle Guixing smiled but said nothing.

The others just smiled, but their expressions were still a little weird. They looked at Di Qing for a while, then at Liang Kun, not knowing whether to believe it or not.

"What the hell..."

Seeing this scene, Liang Kun became a little furious. Did he really think I was the villain in the movie?
After the movie ended, everyone exchanged a few words and then went their separate ways.

Before leaving, Uncle Guixing and other people from various societies all vowed that they would send their younger brothers to support the movie after they returned, and would never let Di Qing treat them to the movie in vain.

How much are these tickets worth?

Di Qing naturally understood what everyone meant, but he did not rush to make any promises. He just thanked them one by one and sent them away.

Next, we just have to wait for the box office results and share the money.

But before that, the most important thing is to solve the problem of personal safety.

After returning to Temple Street, Di Qing instructed Tang Twelve and others to continue to inquire about the news of the gunman yesterday. Then, after arranging the company's affairs, he took Long Wu to Wan Chai.

He didn't go to a psychological clinic, it was Lu Qichang who came to see him.

It’s okay to go to the clinic or not for the time being. After the shooting incident yesterday, Li Xiner should understand that I should take a few days off.

But yesterday at the Wan Chai Police Station, Lu Qichang also called to bail him out, and he made an appointment to meet with him today, most likely also for this matter.

……

4pm, Lockhart Road, Wan Chai, footbridge.

"What happened to the shooting outside the psychiatric clinic yesterday?"

As Di Qing expected, the first thing Lu Qichang asked was this.

Di Qing had already thought of an excuse and shook his head, "I don't know. I just came out of the clinic when someone opened fire. They must have ambushed me in advance."

Lu Qichang asked in a deep voice: "During this period, who did you offend? Why did the other party want to kill you?"

"do not know."

"I don't know?" Lu Qichang frowned: "You don't know who the other party is? Or you don't know why he wants to kill you?"

"Do not know at all."

Di Qing shook his head and said, "Sir Lu, you know what I have done during this period of time. I have indeed offended many people, but these things should not be enough to make the other party shoot and kill me directly."

"Are you sure I know everything you did?"

Lu Qichang snorted coldly, threw a newspaper to Di Qing, and asked, "What about this?"

Di Qing spread it out and saw that it was the promotional poster for the movie "Young and Dangerous".

Although his name was not listed, it was not surprising that Lu Qichang was able to find out that he was the one who filmed this movie.

Because he was registering a film company, Di Qing used his own ID card.

However, Di Qing was not flustered and said calmly: "Sir Lu, it is not illegal for H society to make movies, so it should not be illegal for the police to open a film company, right?"

“It’s not illegal for a police officer to open a company, but how do you explain the source of your income?”

Lu Qichang snorted coldly: "It costs at least one million to make a movie. Where did you get the money?"

Di Qing shook his head and said, "It won't take that much. A few hundred thousand will be enough. I've been a policeman for so many years. It's not surprising that I have a few hundred thousand in savings, right? Besides, even if I don't have enough money, can't I borrow it?"

"You know best how your money came from. I don't want to know. As long as you can explain it clearly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Independent Commission Against Corruption in the future, that's all."

"But, Ah Qing, I want you to tell me why you want to do these things that have nothing to do with the undercover mission?"

Lu Qichang stared at Di Qing closely.

Di Qing was silent for a moment, then said, "Mr. Lu, my current identity means I can't be a police officer anymore. Even if I return to the police force in the future, I will not be promoted or promoted to a high position. Can't I make some plans for myself?"

Hearing this, Lu Qichang also fell silent.
