This man knows how to hype

Chapter 385 Why Not Trust Me
Talk about it.

At the beginning, Wu Youjin had a mocking attitude towards the cooperation between Cheng Guangzu and Xu Xiyu.

After all, the master said that Xu Xiyu would have a "great disaster".

But as time passed, he realized something was wrong.

Where is the "great catastrophe" that was promised?

How could Xu Xiyu's "constantly rising" appearance look like he was about to face a disaster?

After realizing that he might have made a wrong judgment, Wu Youjin, unwilling to give up, began to inquire about the content of "Infernal Affairs" in various ways.

The Hong Kong circle is indeed small, and with his status, even though Cheng Guangzu was on high alert, after some effort, he still managed to piece together the complete script of "Infernal Affairs".

After getting the script and reading it, he almost broke his legs.

It is no exaggeration to say that I regret it to the extreme.

However, for a person like him, regret does not mean admitting his mistakes. Instead of admitting his short-sightedness, his first reaction was to blame Cheng Guangzu.

So, he is in the Hong Kong circle.

He would say things like "Cheng Guangzu has no sense of moral principles. He was the one who went to discuss cooperation with Xu Xiyu first, but then he went to intercept the deal before the negotiations were even completed. He is really not a responsible person" to everyone he met.

Not just Cheng Guangzu.

They also slandered Xu Xiyu in private, saying things like "people from the mainland have no credibility and don't know how to do business properly" and so on.

Also, in Hong Kong, there are many players who are immersed in their past glory and cannot extricate themselves.

In the last century, even ordinary people from the lower class in Hong Kong were considered powerful when they came to the mainland.

Young people may not know clearly, but older people should have an impression. In many places, there is a street of mistresses. These mistresses basically run clothing stores or something like that.

A considerable number of those who sponsor them are from Hong Kong.

It definitely won't work now.

Therefore, after losing the real sense of "superiority", a considerable number of people will seek a false sense of superiority through exclusion, abuse and derogation.

Based on the above reasons, it is easy for Wu Youjin to gain approval by slandering Xu Xiyu.

Due to his occasional smear campaign over the past six months, Xu Xiyu's reputation in Hong Kong is not very good.

The nickname "King of Freeloaders", which is no longer mentioned in the mainland, has been reborn in the entertainment tabloids in Hong Kong.

The King of Freeloaders is still relatively polite, and some tabloids even call him the "Mainland Duck King".

Of course, being a public figure in Hong Kong and being given nicknames by tabloids is actually nothing. After all, they have come up with even more unpleasant nicknames before.

But what Cheng Guangzu couldn't stand the most was that Wu Youjin was spreading the word that "Infernal Affairs" was not a Hong Kong film.

The purpose of spreading this statement is to block both ends.

If "Infernal Affairs" becomes a big hit, then people would use the argument that "it's not a Hong Kong film" to downplay the film and negate Cheng Guangzu's contribution to the revival of Hong Kong films.

At the same time, it can also dispel the enthusiasm of those audiences who think that a good Hong Kong film has been released and want to support the revival of Hong Kong films with a ticket, and ultimately affect the box office of "Infernal Affairs" in Hong Kong.

If "Infernal Affairs" fails, there will be more explanations, such as Cheng Guangzu and Xu Xiyu do not abide by the code of conduct in the underworld, and now God has a vision.

Anyway, the main purpose is to provide an all-round three-dimensional defense to disgust you.

Based on all of the above, Cheng Guangzu was almost angered to death by Wu Youjin.

He tried his best to hide these things from Xu Xiyu, for fear that Xu Xiyu would think that he could not even handle such a small matter in Hong Kong.

I am even more afraid that after Xu Xiyu knows these things, he will say something like "I finally know why Hong Kong movies are over."

Cheng Guangzu would really be broken by such words.

As for Xu Xiyu himself, his attention is usually focused on the mainland. After all, the Hong Kong film market is too small, and with Cheng Guangzu, a local tyrant, supporting it, he would not care about what is happening here.

Due to various factors, he only heard about this now.

After listening to this, he said with a constipated expression: "Is he a lunatic? Is there something wrong with him?"

"That's the problem!" Cheng Guangzu cursed in agreement, and then continued, "That's why I'm worried that if we don't do a good job of publicity and promotion, it will lead to failure."

After saying this, Jiang Yue first glanced at Xu Xiyu, then smiled and said, "Brother Zu, I think you may be overly worried. Let's not talk about whether Wu Youjin can achieve his goal. Even if Infernal Affairs fails at the box office in Hong Kong, the impact is actually not that big. Our main market is in the mainland."

Hearing this, Cheng Guangzu opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start.

How could he not understand the logic behind what Jiang Yue said?

The problem is, it’s unlucky, really unlucky!
Everything requires a smooth start. The beginning of "Infernal Affairs" was not smooth, not to mention the events of "The Beginning" that happened before.

He was very worried that Xu Xiyu's bad luck would radiate to "Infernal Affairs", resulting in some other incidents after the Zhang Tonghe incident, which would suppress the popularity of "Infernal Affairs".

Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and suggested again tactfully: "Well, Mr. Jiang, the Wong Tai Sin Temple is a famous tourist attraction in Hong Kong. It's a rare opportunity for you to come here. It would be a pity if you don't go and have a look."

This is said politely.

But the meaning was still the same, which was to take Xu Xiyu to pray to the gods for good luck.

Therefore, after hearing this, Jiang Yue thought about going and taking a look.

After all, Wong Tai Sin Temple is indeed a famous tourist attraction in Hong Kong. Going there would also be in line with Cheng Guangzu's wishes and make him feel at ease.

So she opened her mouth and was about to agree, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

No.

can not go!
You can go to Wong Tai Sin Temple at any time, but not now.

If I go now.

From now on, all the work that he and Xiyu did on "Infernal Affairs", as long as it was effective, all the credit would belong to Cheng Guangzu.

From his perspective, he would definitely think, "If I hadn't taken you to pray to the gods for good luck, you would have continued to be unlucky!"

That definitely won't work.

Xiyu cannot bear the reputation of being "unlucky". You know, superstitious people are not only in Hong Kong.

Moreover, there is another point, what if Huaqing’s employees and Xiyu’s fans are also led astray?
He has worked hard until now, and leaving aside his love life, everyone's perception of him is that he is capable, talented, and resourceful, which is a very good positioning.

There is no need to add the impression that "he will be unlucky without the help of a great man". This is not a good impression.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue was about to refuse.

But Xu Xiyu had already shaken his head and said, "Brother Zu, I understand what you mean and your concerns, but we won't go to the Wong Tai Sin Temple for now."

Hearing this, Cheng Guangzu was about to persuade him again.

But Xu Xiyu stood up, raised his head slightly, and said with a deliberately contemptuous look, "In my opinion, instead of trusting gods in the Infernal Affairs project, you should trust me!"

To be honest, he looks extremely pretentious now, and he is doing it on purpose.

But this pretentious look and the words just now made Jiang Yue's eyes almost sparkle with stars.

Just when she was staring at the stars, she heard another sentence: "Jiang Yue, let's go back to the hotel first."

"Hey!" Jiang Yue heard the words and stood up without any hesitation to follow.

Cheng Guangzu and Liu Yongzhe were dumbfounded.

No, buddy?
I knew you were crazy, but I didn't expect you to be this crazy!
Before they could come to their senses, Xu Xiyu had already walked to the office door.

He opened the door, turned around and pointed his finger at the two of them, smiling, "Arrange the preview of Infernal Affairs. I'll take care of everything else."

After saying this, without waiting for the two to reply, he turned around and left quickly with Jiang Yue.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Cheng Guangzu was stunned for a long time, then he turned his head and said to Liu Yongzhe with his mouth wide open: "Hey, are the young people in mainland China so confident now?"

"I don't know." Liu Yongzhe shrugged, feeling a little amused.

"I think the nicknames in those gossip tabloids are wrong. What's the Mainland's Duck King? It's simply the Mainland's Forced King." Cheng Guangzu followed and did not know whether to laugh or cry.

No, this is too pretentious.

I just don't believe that you can still grab the spotlight in the Zhang Tonghe incident.
