Chapter 429: Are you trying to stir up trouble?
Chapter 429: Are you trying to stir up trouble? (Seeking monthly votes)
Wen Bixia had a bit of a headache!
After leaving the film set, I immediately turned down a dinner invitation and had the driver take me back to my temporary residence, which was also the company's internal activity center.
"Sister Xia, it's Sister Mei on the phone!"
The assistant next to her covered the microphone of the mobile phone and whispered to Wen Bixia, "Judging from the sound, it's quite urgent!"
What's coming will come!
Wen Bixia sighed inwardly, took the mobile phone, and her tone changed. She chatted enthusiastically with Yanfang across from her.
His tone shifted from impassioned to somber, then to one of indignation; in the short duration of the call, it changed five or six times.
With her current level of language skills, she could make a name for herself even if she went into voice acting.
The assistant standing next to him was so shocked he almost dropped his jaw!
"What, does it feel strange?"
After hanging up the phone, Wen Bixia looked annoyed. Seeing her assistant's surprised expression, she couldn't help but ask with amusement.
"That's true, really!"
The assistant, feeling awkward about speaking, quickly changed the subject, asking, "Sis, you don't seem to be in a good mood?"
"This morning's newspaper has the most explosive entertainment news on it!"
Wen Bixia said with a headache, "Sister Mei wants me to join her in taking to the streets to protest against the intrusion of triads into the film and television industry!"
"Ah, isn't this great news?"
The assistant, somewhat puzzled, said, "This time, some members of the gang really went too far!"
Towards the end, he was filled with anger and resentment.
"But the company called and told me not to get involved easily. I can talk about the matter itself, but I shouldn't express any opinions on anything else!"
Wen Bixia said helplessly, "The company is conducting an urgent investigation to see if anyone is trying to cause trouble!"
"Sister, how could the company do this?"
The assistant interrupted, "It's that obvious!"
"Have you ever been harassed by gangsters?"
Wen Bixia asked curiously, "Especially after joining the company?"
No, definitely not!
The assistant shook his head and said, "With our company's security measures, how could I possibly encounter such a thing?"
Do you really think the fighting skills of the Hung Hing Sai Kung branch are just for show?
Every resident big brother stationed on set is a ruthless character who has made a name for himself in the underworld.
In order to establish his authority, he got into many fights with scoundrels from other gangs, causing quite a bit of trouble.
It is said, and this is just hearsay, that once the film set was harassed by some powerful gangsters, and the big boss was furious, so he directly sent out experts he had brought in from the mainland.
A few days later, the body of that second-rate gangster was found on the beach. There were several gruesome wounds on his body caused by Mitsubishi stabs, which were absolutely terrifying.
Since then, Fengrui Film and Television's film crews have never encountered any unreasonable disruptions while shooting on location.
It is said that whenever the company has an outdoor shooting assignment, they will send someone to smooth things over and pay all the due fees.
Naturally, I made sure to give all the necessary greetings.
So if anyone still comes to cause trouble, then it's definitely a deliberate attack, and there's nothing more to say.
In fact, large associations are more law-abiding in this regard.
Once a reputation is lost, a significant portion of stable income could be lost.
What film crews fear most about location shooting are those small-time hoodlums who have just joined the gang or don't understand the rules of the underworld, but want to do big things, make big money, and become famous.
In a normal timeline, two thousand years later, Cheng Shilong's Hollywood film crew was shooting on location in Hong Kong when they were extorted by thugs. Cheng Shilong was so angry he almost vomited blood, losing face internationally. This whole affair was actually the work of a few self-important lowlifes; real high-ranking members of the triad wouldn't dare do such a thing.
In the "Young and Dangerous" movies, Chicken, Tai Tin Yee, and Bao Pi go to the basketball court they frequented in their youth, only to run into a group of student thugs.
At the time, the three of them were all quite well-known within Hung Hing, but they were all feeling uneasy and looking for an opportunity to run away.
Isn't it just that they're worried about students getting into trouble and not knowing their own strength? If they get beaten up and cause problems, they'll have to suffer the consequences themselves.
In short, you generally won't encounter those messy and troublesome things on the set or during location shooting at Fengrui Films.
Seeing her assistant's certainty, Wen Bixia felt in a great mood for some reason.
She asked with a smile, "If you encountered something like this, what would be the first thing you would do?"
"They must have called the police!"
Without hesitation, the assistant replied, "Then we need to contact the company and have them step in to mitigate the impact as soon as possible!"
As she spoke, her voice unconsciously lowered.
Clearly, the assistant also realized that something was wrong.
"That guy just left TVB and hasn't joined any other company yet; he's kind of working independently!"
Wen Bixia had no intention of deceiving anyone, and explained softly, "She did want to join our company, but the company didn't agree!"
"Why?"
The assistant asked curiously, "This person has considerable acting skills and fame, and he's even from mainland China!"
"It's precisely because she's from mainland China that the company's senior management is hesitant to agree. Haven't you seen some of her comments in interviews?"
Wen Bixia said irritably, "This guy is using unscrupulous methods; I doubt the big boss will like it!"
The assistant nodded subconsciously, then realized what she meant and said, "Sis, since that person doesn't have the company's help, then there's nothing wrong with her actions!"
"Definitely no problem!"
Wen Bixia chuckled and said, "But what are they trying to do by connecting with so many celebrities?"
"Are you trying to put pressure on the Hong Kong British government, or do you want the Hong Kong British government to take direct action against Hong Kong Island's community groups?"
The assistants looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Clearly, the two points Wen Bixia made had taken her by surprise.
"I'm worried that if things escalate too much, it will backfire!"
Wen Bixia said softly, "In the future, when the gang's film company hires someone, they probably won't show up in person anymore. Sending a bullet through a letter is something no one can tolerate."
"And who goes out without bodyguards?"
"Even if the bodyguards can't do much in case something happens, they should at least call the police immediately, right?"
"That person's actions actually missed the best time to call the police, and no one can guarantee how much of what she said is true."
"This whole thing is getting heated, and I'm afraid many Hong Kong residents will develop a backlash," thinking that "if a big star like you goes out without bodyguards and something happens, it's your own fault," which would be a huge loss for them!
In fact, such signs have already emerged in public opinion.
Hong Kong Island values money above all else, but with such a large gap between the rich and poor, resentment towards the rich is quite common, making it difficult to say whether some things are right or wrong.
