Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

In Qiankun Films, in the general manager's office, Liang Kun, holding a cigarette in his mouth, glanced at Sha Qiang and casually threw the financial report in his hand at Sha Qiang's feet:

"Silly Qiang, your method won't work. Although Watase Maria is open-minded and actively cooperates with the plot, no one in Hong Kong Island buys it!"

Liang Kun's tone was very flat, neither happy nor sad, but Sha Qiang broke out in a cold sweat.

It was he who proposed the plan to kidnap someone from Fuso, which cost a lot of manpower to travel across the East to Fuso. In the end, the person was successfully kidnapped back, but the benefits obtained were not proportional to the expenditure.

"Brother Kun, it's my fault, I'm sorry!"

Sha Qiang did not make any excuses and bowed to admit his mistake.

'Admit your mistakes and stand at attention when you are beaten' is the boss's life motto, and Sha Qiang always keeps it in mind.

If you admit your mistake straightforwardly, at most you will be beaten and scolded, but you won't lose your job. However, if you force yourself to explain something, it will easily make the boss unhappy and you will be marginalized.

"Pull yourself! You want to make up for the company's loss of two million Hong Kong dollars with just one sentence: you were wrong?" Liang Kun stood up and walked quickly to Sha Qiang, kicking him to the ground.

"Do you know how hard it is to earn two million Hong Kong dollars? Pre-Mo, I work so hard on filming for a week and still might not earn that much, do you know that?"

"Brother Kun, I know you're very angry. How about I call Xiaoli in to help you vent your anger? Then we can invite Miss Li over to film the scene?"

Liang Kun rubbed his crotch, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, then slapped Sha Qiang on the back of the head: "Pujie, are you fucking teaching me how to do things?"

Liang Kun rode on Sha Qiang, cursing and beating him violently until Sha Qiang's cheeks turned blue and four fingers could be seen. Only then did Liang Kun stop.

"Phew~, I feel much better after beating up a loser like you! Now go and invite Miss Li, remember to be polite!" Liang Kun waved his hands and ordered.

"Brother Kun, can I wait a while before going? It would be embarrassing for my brothers to see me." Sha Qiang felt the burning on his cheek and asked aggrievedly, pointing at the slap mark.

Seeing this aggrieved look, Liang Kun's anger rose again. He raised his hand and cursed, "Get out! Get out now! Bring the person to me within three days!"

Sha Qiang breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned. He quickly got up and ran towards the office door. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Such skillful and swift operation made Liang Kun, who was watching, feel a little regretful. He regretted that he should not have held back when beating him just now. Only by beating him hard can he learn his lesson.

Sha Qiang had no idea that after leaving the office, he did not choose to go home, but instead found an inconspicuous restaurant and quietly entered the restaurant's kitchen.

Half an hour later, he came out of the kitchen again and headed towards home.

If he goes to hire someone in this state, he will not only embarrass himself, but also his boss, Liang Kun. Once Liang Kun finds out, he will definitely beat him up again.

Sha Qiang planned to go back to his rental house to rest for a while. The marks on his face were not very deep and would disappear automatically in one or two nights. It would not be too late to ask Miss Li to film the movie then.

……

When an industry that is easy to profit from is widely known by Hong Kong community groups and has a low threshold for entry, then this industry will inevitably be harmed by the community groups.

Ever since Liang Kun started the trend of "making big money by hiring female artists to shoot Category III films", second- and third-rate gangs in Hong Kong have turned their attention to the film and television industry, hoping to get a piece of the pie.

Either politely or using Black Star's method of inviting people, let Boss Lei and Boss Zou join forces to tell the second- and third-rate societies to control their respective subordinates.

The two men have considerable influence in Hong Kong Island. The leaders of third-rate gangs have severely reprimanded the members who participated in the gang and warned them that they will be punished according to family rules if they cause trouble again.

Of course, there was an effect. Since then, the number of gangsters harassing Golden Harvest and New Billion City Film and Television Company has rapidly decreased, and these people have turned to target artists who do not have film and television companies.

As for second-rate societies, the words of the leader are not necessarily useful. Some society members still use black stars to force female artists from Golden Harvest or New Billion City to film.

This incident completely annoyed Boss Lei and Boss Zou. In order to stop this momentum, Boss Lei invited Xinji, and Boss Zou invited Liansheng but was rejected, so he invited Dongxing.

He also used his connections with the police station to get some convenience from them.

With the foreigners opening the door wide open, three well-known second-rate societies were successively broken up by Xinji and Dongxing with lightning speed.

This was a warning to all second- and third-rate clubs, causing all members of the clubs engaged in third-level films to turn their attention to female artists who did not have agency companies.

There are too many monks and too little meat, so many third-rate societies are broken up by second-rate societies;

Under pressure from society members, the female artists who did not sign contracts turned to New Billion City, Golden Harvest or Shaw Brothers.

As the number of female artists without backgrounds rapidly decreased, the fighting between second- and third-rate gangs in Hong Kong Island became more and more fierce, until even the singers found backers, and this situation only stopped.

There was a police cleanup operation in 1984; an operation launched by the East Star and the Hung Hing to divide Yau Tsim Mong; a big brawl between the four major gangs;

A large number of second- and third-rate gangs in Hong Kong Island were disbanded, and this time, the second-rate gangs launched a cleanup operation against the third-rate gangs due to the snatching of female artists.

There are not many third-rate societies left in Hong Kong Island. In early 1984, there were hundreds of small and medium-sized societies, but by 1985, there were less than 50 third-rate societies.

Now, news has come out that Sha Qiang, the head of Liang Kun, once again invited Miss Li to Qiankun Film and Television to shoot a Category III film and once again made a profit of more than 6 million Hong Kong dollars.

Undercurrents suddenly began to surge in the Hong Kong underworld.

In the second-rate society, those who wanted to profit from the third-level films secretly colluded with each other and wanted to cooperate with the leader of the Hongxing Film Group, Liang Kun, and "invite" female artists from the three major film and television companies in Hong Kong to film.

By then, even if Boss Lei and Boss Zou invite Dongxing and Xinji to come out again, they can still compete with them with the support of Hongxing.

Liang Kun, who once again profited from local female artists, readily accepted the active cooperation requests from associations such as Hutchison, Number Gang, Hongyi, Changle and Dongli.

A secret cooperation was reached, and each film and television company had to shoot a film for each invited female artist before letting her leave.

The condition is that Liang Kun's company will first use female artists to jointly resist the pressure that may be exerted by the bosses of all film and television companies in Hong Kong, including Shaw Brothers.

Shaw Brothers has many female artists, so naturally, Liang Kun is unwilling to let any of them go.

Although Uncle Six had a knighthood awarded by the Queen of Britain herself, the foreigners did not dare to directly break up Hongxing, nor did they have any direct evidence of his crimes.

As for the female artists he invited, Sha Qiang never invited them in a legitimate way. If they were missing for less than 24 hours, the police would have no way to take action even if someone called the police.

Hong Kong Island is a free city with freedom of speech and personal freedom.

Without substantial evidence, and with the warning of a lesser-known female artist who was assassinated in the street while seeking justice, no female artist dared to come forward.

Even if Boss Lei, Boss Zou and Sixth Sister-in-law jointly issued a statement, no one would dare.

Life is only once, and the final step will not be carried out during filming. Female artists who are not in a desperate situation dare not take risks, even if they are threatened with dismissal.

Boss Zou, Boss Lei and Sister Liu felt humiliated and extremely angry. They secretly contacted the Dongxing, Xinji and Liansheng societies.

In a private room at the Peninsula Hotel, the atmosphere was as oppressive as the low altitude before a storm, making it difficult to breathe.

Boss Lei had a gloomy expression on his face, a fierce look in his eyes, and sat in the main seat with a majestic look.

On the left, Boss Zou frowned, picking up the teacup in front of him from time to time, but then put it down again because of the troubles in his mind.

On the right, perhaps because Uncle Six plans to focus his career on the TV station, Aunt Six looks calm, but her eyes occasionally flash with a cold light.
