Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s
Chapter 367 Whose idea?
Shengshi Entertainment established a security department and assigned its capable and trustworthy subordinates the position of security guard, paying them a monthly salary.
The security department has a large number of people, specializing in dealing with emergencies. The person in charge of this department is named Guo Bin.
Guo Bin was taken aback when he received Shen Chunming's call: "The Changxing gang is here to collect protection money?"
Last holiday, he even delivered a generous gift to the Changxing gang on behalf of Huang Yuliang. The two families had a good relationship. Why is he suddenly demanding protection money?
“Yes, the filming location today is Changxing Gang’s territory. They not only came to collect protection money, but they did it twice. I suspect that more people will come later,” Shen Chunming said.
Guo Bin asked, "Did you tell them they were from Shengshi Entertainment?"
“We told them, not only that they were from Shengshi Entertainment, but we also asked them to talk things out of respect for Mr. Huang. Who knew they would say, ‘Who knows any Mr. Huang, Mr. Bai, or Mr. Hei?’”
Shen Chunming recounted the two instances of collecting protection money to Guo Bin in detail.
When he mentioned Huang Sheng's name and the other party didn't take it seriously, he knew this matter was beyond his control. Whatever changes occurred at the higher-ups, it wasn't something a mere assistant director like him could handle. So, he paid the protection fee first, and whatever communication the higher-ups did afterwards was none of his concern.
Upon hearing this, Guo Bin also felt it was a serious matter and said, "I'll take people over there immediately."
After hanging up the phone, he called a few capable fighters who rushed to the film set.
When Guo Bin arrived, a third group of thugs came to the film set to cause trouble. He opened the car door and walked towards the arrogant thugs.
Shen Chunming was dealing with the gangsters, who kept coming in waves to extort money from him; it was clearly intentional. If things went wrong, the crew and the props and equipment would be smashed.
Seeing that Guo Bin had finally arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately made way for him. "Brother Bin, could you please talk to these young men and find out how much protection money they want before they'll stop? Originally, I was just treating them to tea because of the friendship between the two bosses, but this round after round is just not treating us like friends."
Guo Bin took over Shen Chunming's position, arms crossed, staring at the group of thugs in front of him. He was tall and burly, and standing in front of them, he looked like two men in one. "Whose henchmen are you? State your names."
Several gangsters looked towards Guo Bin.
Guo Bin was wearing a black vest, his strong muscles exuding power, and his menacing aura and sinister eyes were incredibly oppressive.
The gang leader was a head shorter than Guo Bin, thin and wiry. His physique was alright on its own, but compared to Guo Bin, he looked like a child next to an adult. Guo Bin involuntarily took a few steps back.
"This is the territory of the Chang Hing triad. You should know the rules of the underworld. If you rent this place to film, you have to pay a management fee," the gangster said, his voice a little weak.
"Rent? Open your dog eyes and see clearly. This is a public place. We reported to the municipal government before we started filming. Which department are you from, daring to come here to collect management fees?" Guo Bin took a few steps closer to the gangsters, forcing them to take a few steps back.
The security guards who came with Guo Bin also came over and surrounded the gangsters. These security guards were all tall and strong, and they all had a menacing aura. They stared down at the gangsters, making the gangsters feel uneasy.
"We are members of the Changxing Gang. If you dare to lay a finger on us, our boss will not let you get away with it! No matter how good you are at fighting, can you defeat the 100,000 members of the Changxing Gang?"
"Who is your boss? Which branch is he from?" Guo Bin asked.
The gang leader hesitated for a moment. His boss hadn't said he wanted to break ties with Huang Yuliang. Should they let things escalate further? "You wait here. I'll call our leader over right now."
After saying that, the thug and his men hurriedly ran away.
Guo Bin did not chase after them, but stood there and watched them go.
After the gangsters left, the filming was no longer affected, but Guo Bin's brows furrowed.
He and his men were stationed there, and they noticed that some thugs were occasionally glancing their way with ill intent. He said to the man next to him, "Go and find out which branch of the Changxing Gang is in charge of this area."
The person next to him went to check and returned half an hour later. "Brother Bin, we found out that the person in charge of this branch is called Chu Ying, also known as Brother Ying. He is the newly appointed branch leader of the Changxing gang."
"It's him?" Guo Bin frowned even more deeply. He recognized Chu Ying; he was the cousin of the former leader of the Changxing Gang and held considerable influence within the gang. Was Chu Ying looking for trouble with Huang Sheng, or was the Changxing Gang looking for trouble with Huang Sheng?
Guo Bin decided to lead his men to stay here and observe the changes.
The thugs who kept peeking out from the street saw that Guo Bin wouldn't leave and couldn't collect the money anymore, so they called Chu Ying.
"Brother Ying, should we call a few more brothers over, or just leave it at that?"
On the other end of the phone, Chu Ying sneered, "Let's retreat first. The real show is yet to come."
The crew filmed until the afternoon rush hour before leaving. Jia Zhendong came over to Guo Bin and said, "This scene will take a few more days to film. I'll have to trouble you to come over again tomorrow to keep things under control."
Guo Bin nodded, indicating that he understood. After returning to the company, he reported the matter to Huang Yuliang.
"Huang Sheng, should we investigate whether Chu Ying is opposing us, or whether the entire Changxing Society is causing trouble? What are they planning to do with this sudden change of heart?"
Unlike Guo Bin's bewilderment, Huang Yuliang, upon hearing the news, was initially surprised but remained quite calm afterward. "It's all about profit."
As to whether it was his personal idea or the intention of the entire organization, Huang Yuliang picked up the office phone and dialed a number.
After the call was answered, Huang Yuliang said, "I'm looking for Uncle Ding. Could you please call him for me?"
"I'm sorry, the master has gone to visit relatives in the mainland and will not be back for several months."
"Thank you." Huang Yuliang hung up the phone.
At this point, even Guo Bin realized the seriousness of the problem. "It seems to be the intention of the entire Changxing Society. Mr. Huang, what should we do next?"
Huang Yuliang leaned back in his chair, adjusted his glasses, and a sharp glint flashed in his deep eyes behind the lenses, only to vanish in an instant. "Go with the film crew for the next few days, and we'll talk again after they finish filming."
From the moment the second installment of "Baogang Inspector Wears Skirts" was conceived, Hu Xiaoxiao has been busy without a break.
She took the second film even more seriously than the first. Many movies are good in the first part, but often fall short in the second. She would never allow that to happen in her movies.
