176 Things that can't be on the table
Since Cheng Long became famous through kung fu movies, he has been around Cheng Long for all kinds of drinking and having fun, scandals about picking up girls, and debates about whether boxing and kicking skills can be used or not.
Most people are well aware of the kung fu of action stars. As the saying goes, performance, one of the words is "acting".
Ordinary people are not qualified to ask whether Cheng Long is old enough, but as the chairman of the Kowloon Walled City Martial Arts Association, Tang Tingwei is undoubtedly the leader in the city's strength.
Two days later, Cheng Long received a call that a big boss wanted to invite him to perform in the Walled City.
Cheng Long knew what he was doing, so he immediately found Hung Jingbao and said, "Brother Bao, where is the Kowloon Walled City? If you go there to perform, it's obvious that you want to engage in black boxing."
Inviting an action superstar to do black boxing, luckily the Chengzhai boss came up with it, but Xiangjiang in the 1980s was an era where dragons and snakes were everywhere, and reckless heroes emerged in large numbers. In the eyes of the Chengzhai boss, the action superstar was basically the same as in the martial arts school.
The sandbags are different.
"Aaron, this is not a trivial matter..." After listening to the call Cheng Long received, Hong Jingbao said with a solemn expression: "Let's go see Boss Zou quickly and let Boss Zou come forward to settle the matter."
There are many famous people, and the trouble Cheng Long got into was not a trivial matter.
Once you step into the walled city, you have no control over life or death, and no one can control your destiny.
Cheng Long's status is different from that of ordinary gangsters, but if something happens... the fugitives and gangsters in the walled city don't care who the action superstar is. What trouble will they get if they kill an action superstar?
"Someone called you to inform you that you are going to the Walled City to box on the weekend?" Zou Huaiwen was sitting in the office. After hearing the news, he walked out of the desk in shock and said in a hurry: "Wait for me, I will call Chairman Tang."
Zou Huaiwen made a call to Tang Tingwei in front of Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao.
"Chairman Tang, I am Zou Huaiwen from Jiahe. I have something to tell you. Someone called to invite Jiahe actors to boxing..."
Before Zou Huaiwen finished speaking, Tang Ting's powerful voice came over the phone: "Yes! I asked someone to call to invite you!"
"Uh..." Zou Huaiwen stopped talking and looked a little ugly. He stopped talking about this matter and instead invited: "Chairman Tang, would you like to have tea and a meal with us tonight?"
"Okay." Tang Tingwei said calmly and agreed.
He wanted to see what price Boss Zou could offer.
Zou Huaiwen put down the phone and immediately called the accountant to go to the bank to withdraw five million Hong Kong paper cash.
As a big boss of the Walled City, Tang Tingwei's business has long gone beyond boxing and fan stalls in the Walled City. In his early years, he built many factories in the New Territories by cultivating handicraft workshops in factories, including sports equipment factories that produce tennis balls and badmintons, as well as sports equipment factories that produce tennis balls and badmintons.
Living factories that produce candies, packaging cartons, and more than a dozen dental clinics in different areas, etc.
These small workshops that used to be in the Walled City have grown and expanded over time, and at the same time, the tentacles of the Walled City bosses have reached out to the Kowloon Walled City.
When Jiahe was making a movie, he had already told Tang Tingwei that he had no romantic relationship with Tang Tingwei and that the two of them relied solely on profit.
When Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao saw Zou Huaiwen rushing to prepare money, their hearts sank. The two left the Jiahe Building first. Cheng Long couldn't help but said: "Brother Bao, I want to call Zhang Sheng."
"This is the best way." Hong Jingbao nodded: "But "Plan B" cannot be filmed anyway."
"Make a movie!" Cheng Long swore directly and said: "If you can't save your life, why do you make a movie?"
"It's just a movie. The worst I can do is not make it. I won't make a movie for two years."
Cheng Long calmed down, returned to the mansion in Central, and dialed Zhang Guobin's phone number.
"Zhang Sheng."
His voice sounded like something was wrong.
Zhang Guobin was reviewing the editing effects of "God of Gamblers". He glanced at Wang Jingcai next to him, interrupted the film reading, walked out of the screening room alone, leaned on the corridor and said: "Aaron, tell me, what's going on."
"Zhang Sheng, if you are so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush. There is a gangster who wants to force me to go to the city to fight. Zou Huaiwen invites him to dinner that night. Zou Huaiwen has prepared five million Hong Kong dollars. I'm worried that he won't be able to deal with it."
"With your worth, five million is really unfair." Zhang Guobin put his left leg on the wall, flicked the ashes on his fingertips, and puffed on the smoke: "Tell me."
"Who is the boss who wants to touch you?"
"My surname is Tang, and I am from the Walled City." Cheng Long said.
"Oh...it turns out to be a cockroach in the walled city." Zhang Guobin suddenly realized, and said in a disdainful tone: "No wonder he is so mean."
Many later film and television works and literary novels transformed the myth/demon of Kowloon Walled City into a force with no taboos, lawlessness, and strong men.
There is no dispute that the Kowloon Walled City is a de jure zone. The political management power truly belongs to the mainland. The actual area is indeed Hong Kong Island. The British government's laws are not recognized by the mainland. The demolition failed three times. In a sense, it is a mixed bag.
leading to the political confrontation between mainland forces.
It was not until the signing of the Sino-British Agreement in 1984 that the future of the Kowloon Walled City was clarified. In 1987, China and Britain began to cooperate in the demolition, and the Kowloon Walled City became a historical term.
But the real Kowloon Walled City is not dark. On the contrary, when you live in the Kowloon Walled City, most of the time you will not feel the existence of the power of the community. The so-called gangsters and wanted criminals also have to hide in the Kowloon Walled City with fear.
, living an ignoble existence, the forces in the city are doing the same work as all societies, and are no different from most societies.
Moreover, it is cramped in only one-third of an acre of land, and its troops, horses, and financial resources are far less than those in the fertile water areas of Yau Ma Tei, Central, Causeway Bay, and Tsim Sha Tsui.
You can make a lot of money in the oil and water area, enjoy life, and be majestic, but who of you can huddle in a walled city and eat rat meat?
Tang Tingwei, the chairman of the Chengzhai Martial Arts Association, enjoys a certain reputation in the world. He is an elder of Heichai's generation. Zhang Guobin has heard of him. He was the first double-flower red stick of Yiqun. Since the collapse of Laihao, he has brought a group of
The group of brothers who work for food in the walled city are still members of a righteous group in name, but in fact they are already an independent company, the "Chairman of the Martial Arts Association"...
When Zhang Guobin was just an ordinary hall master, this kind of person was qualified to ask for some face from him. Now? Zhang Guobin only thinks that the bad boys and bad boys huddled in the walled city are all rats in the sewers! Cockroaches!
!Lose!
Can’t get on the stage!
When Cheng Long heard the contemptuous attitude in Zhang Guobin's mouth, he couldn't help but calm down. He opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Zhang, I leave this matter to you."
"Don't worry, I still hope to film "Plan B" with you, why would you go to the walled city to die?" Zhang Guobin said jokingly.
He stuffed the finished cigarette into a chimney.
"I'll send you the address where you're going to eat later. I'll go there as soon as I'm done. Don't worry, no one can cause trouble for you as long as I'm here."
Zhang Guobin hung up the phone, turned around and walked into the screening room to continue watching "God of Gamblers" produced by DreamWorks.
The editing of this "God of Gamblers" is roughly the same as the original work, except that the female characters are different and there are some differences in costumes. Fortunately, "God of Gamblers" is a male-led drama, and the female characters are all embellishments. They should be coquettish.
She's cool enough, she's pretty enough when she should be, so there's no big problem.
Zhang Guobin worked hard for perfection, and after putting forward reasonable opinions on several scenes that needed to be re-edited, he left the DreamWorks office building. It was already dark, and he asked his secretary if he had received a call. He got the address where Cheng Long and Tang Tingwei met, and asked him to
Dongguan Miao drove to Peninsula Hotel.
…
"Zou Sheng, Brother Bao will come with me tonight." Cheng Long, dressed appropriately in a gray suit and tie, walked into the hotel corridor.
Zou Huaiwen looked serious. He looked back at Hong Jingbao, who was wearing a shirt, with a fat belly and a calm expression, and nodded slightly: "Okay."
At this time, Hong Jingbao is still willing to accompany Cheng Long, which shows that the elder brother takes care of his younger brother.
Five professional bodyguards wearing black suits, wearing headsets, and carrying cash boxes followed the three people to the box with solemn expressions and unsmiling faces.
Zou Huaiwen opened the door of the restaurant's private room, and there were five figures sitting at the dining table. Among them sat a square-looking middle-aged man with a bun and a jacket.
Sitting on both sides were four young people who were drinking tea with their heads down and in high spirits. The dining table was already filled with dishes. The five of them didn't even wait for Zou Huaiwen, Cheng Long and others, and were happily eating on their own.
When the door was pushed open, the four young people stopped talking, put down their chopsticks and wine glasses, turned around with playful expressions, and looked at Zou Huaiwen, Cheng Long and others.
"Brother Long." Bao Yuli raised her eyebrows and opened her plump lips and shouted.
Cheng Long trembled all over, and three souls were scared away.
Zou Huaiwen stood at the door obediently. He greeted Tang Tingwei and others before pulling out his chair and sitting down: "Chairman Tang, Mr. Li, Mr. Wang, Miss Bao... Good evening."
Zou Huaiwen did not call out to Cheng Long, and Hong Jingbao sat down. The two of them had to stand aside and assess the situation. Action superstars are big in terms of their appearance, but they are not as big as those of gangsters.
Tang Tingwei was sitting on a chair, turning two meteorite balls with his palms, and there were constant collisions.
"Boss Zou, long time no see, haha, but Boss Zou just gives you face. I want to invite someone, and you sent me two." Tang Tingwei smiled arrogantly, and turned around to ask Li Jiajie: "Master Li, arrange for Cheng Long to follow
How about Hong Jingbao fighting in the third round?"
"Weapon challenge?" Li Jiajie shook his head perversely and sneered: "Is the weapon challenge enough to be used by two action superstars?"
"I prefer the eighth round!"
Zou Huaiwen interrupted awkwardly: "Chairman Tang was joking. I brought Aaron and Abao to see you. I hope to have a meal with you and pay homage to the mountain."
Cheng Long watched Zou Huaiwen's attitude towards Tang Tingwei from the sidelines, and his heart sank to the bottom.
