Chapter 341 Killing three birds with one stone

The people from the Izu Group were arrested in the afternoon.

The person in charge of the Izu Group is from Tokyo Hot Agency who came at night.

The first generation Izu Kenji and the second generation Aoyama Chihiro are at least old and have some status.

So when it came time to hand over the person, he pushed out the apprentice (younger brother) team leader Masanori Kawakami.

Masanori Kawakami, who was in his thirties, was dragged upstairs by Shota Tanaka by his ears, and was kicked and scolded, which fully demonstrated the extroverted bullying culture of the Japanese.

Apology and compensation are provided in one go.

In front of Zhai Yuan and Tanaka Shota, Kawakami Masaki was as honest and well-behaved as a loyal dog.

"It's not the first time that Sakai Sangenjo has done something that offends important people. I told him a long time ago that he should not touch the flour business. This time he must have taken drugs and is trying to extort money from Mr. Zhai Yuan because he is a foreigner."

"Stop talking nonsense. Zhai Sang is my best friend. We can give our VCD business in Japan to the Yamaguchi-gumi or the Kansai 20th Day Association."

"Hayi, hayi, I'm so sorry!"

Honestly speaking, what Zhai Yuan cared about was actually the outcome of the matter. As for this kind of apology which was done purely for the sake of face, he didn't take it to heart.

But Tanaka Shota seemed to feel that he should play the role of a good host and let Zhai Sang see his strength.

So, on behalf of the Izu Group, Masanori Kawakami paid a total of 1000 million yen in compensation to Tokyo hot for the burned exterior walls and broken glass of the office, as well as the medical expenses of the members of the Nishikyo Group.

It's not over yet.

The next to come on stage were two senior policemen from my grandson city police station.

In front of Tanaka Shota and Zhai Yuan, the policeman first reflected on his work mistakes, and then promised to maintain stability around the office in the future.

After everything was settled clearly with both the black and white worlds, Tanaka Shota finally sat down again.

"Zhai Sang, it's just like what I said, right? Dongyang is absolutely safe for people like us."

Social rules have always been like this: black is not as good as white, and white is not as good as red.

When the Yamaguchi-gumi was still colluding with politics and business, Toshiba itself was part of the government.

The skills that Tanaka Shota demonstrated briefly also made Zhai Yuan realize that the Japanese boy in front of him did have some skills.

Of course, perhaps it comes more from his old father in his family.

"His Majesty Hirohito has been ill from overwork recently. While he was seriously ill and seeking medical treatment, he also attracted the attention of various factions. Therefore, the progress of Zhai Sang's three production lines has not been smooth recently. After all, everyone's mind is on the historical heritage."

By resolving the bloody incident in front of the office.

Tanaka Shota mentioned the ultimate goal of their cooperation as if unintentionally.

This statement is half true and half false.

Emperor Showa's serious illness did attract the attention of multiple factions in the East Asian high-level circles. The conservatives who advocated the restoration and strengthening of the imperial system, the Socialist Party who advocated the abolition of the imperial power, and the Liberal Democratic Party who wanted to maintain the status quo were competing with each other during this period.

However, Tanaka Shota's father, Tanaka Ken, was unable to help Zhai Yuan manage Toshiba Semiconductor's three production lines. The reason was that he lacked the strength.

The most Ken Tanaka could do was to win over officials and submit proposals to the board of directors.

Like Zhai Yuan, he is waiting for the US sanctions against Toshiba.

So at this time, what Tanaka Shota said seemed more like a relatively decent excuse.

"I completely understand. At this time, the Emperor's health is of course the most important thing."

Zhai Yuan said this with a smile, thinking to himself, from his impression, this Emperor Showa will not be around for long, and Japan will soon have to change the era name to Heisei.

The term "Heisei loser" also means the rapid rise of Japan's soft power.

"Brother Tanaka, 91 Entertainment is relatively well-known in the Hong Kong film and television industry, but it still has many shortcomings compared to Japan. If you have connections in the Japanese entertainment industry, please introduce me to some good friends if you have the chance. We can work together to promote cultural exchanges~"

Zhai Yuan embraced Tanaka Shota affectionately and said frankly, "Movies, music, comics and the recently popular electronic games are all fertile ground worth cultivating. I think there are still many opportunities for cooperation between us..."

……

"So, is this matter with the Izu Group completely over?"

I went downstairs with Shota Tanaka and watched him get into the eye-catching Land Cruiser.

Michiko Nishikie stood at the door of the office, looking at the bloodstains and glass fragments on the ground that had not yet been cleaned up, and asked: "1000 million in compensation is enough to renovate the damaged areas."

"About 50 Hong Kong dollars?"

Zhai Yuan calculated the exchange rate and looked up at the Tokyo Hot neon sign which was now only half broken.

"This matter has become so serious, how can it be easily ended? We need to maximize the benefits. Chen Shilong and his team will arrive in Dongyang tomorrow. Inform him in advance to keep a low profile before he arrives, and come to the studio as soon as possible to reshoot a few scenes."

…………

Hong Kong, Kai Tak Airport.

Zhong Chuhong walked into the airport hall accompanied by her assistant, wearing a finely tailored dark suit. The leather belt around her waist outlined her slender curves, a thin chain necklace with pearl earrings, and a pair of large sunglasses hanging on her nose, which made her look more like a queen.

"Strange, she was so dark and thin when she was filming 'The Lucky Stars', why don't I remember her being this pretty?"

Chen Shilong, accompanied by a group of martial artists, walked into the airport. He looked at Zhong Chuhong who passed by him and scratched his head in confusion.

"Things are different now, big brother. I am now Sister Hong, the leading actress of 91 Entertainment."

Agent Chen Ziqiang helped Chen Shilong complete the check-in procedures. He came over to admire Zhong Chuhong's back and couldn't help but sigh at her beauty.

During this period, Chung Chu-hung, who had just finished filming "Along the Way", had her own aura. The leading actress was completely different from the bean sprout when she first debuted. Her every move exuded sexiness and cuteness.

"Now even the old man selling watermelons boasts that his watermelons are as popular as Zhong Chuhong's. You can see how fast she has risen in the past few years!"

Chen Ziqiang admired 91 Entertainment's ability to create stars, and at the end he reminded Chen Shilong in a serious tone: "Hey Jackie, joking aside, don't flirt with this Hong sister casually... In other words, you'd better not mess with the pretty girls from 91 Entertainment."

"You idiot! It's always those women who come up to me first. When have you ever seen me take the initiative?"

Chen Shilong waved his hands and said, "I know that the beautiful girls in Jiuyi are already taken! In short, even if they take the initiative to seduce me, I will control myself, don't worry~"

"Seduce you? Are you young and rich enough for Zhai Yuan?"

Chen Ziqiang laughed and teased, then added: "Dongyang called this morning and said that Zhai Yuan seemed to have other arrangements. He asked you not to publicize your trip this time. He will send someone to pick you up at the airport."

In this era, there is no such thing as occupying public resources. When celebrities travel, they care about the pomp and status. Chen Shilong, who is of such status, has overseas fans to pick him up at the airport, which is a point that Jiahe often uses to promote him.

Chen Shilong nodded and said, "It's better to keep a low profile. It's hard to deal with crazy fans."

As he spoke, he pulled out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on, then put a hat on his head: "No one will recognize me this way, right?"

Liang Jiahui, the second male lead of "Hiroshima Monster", also entered the waiting room.

From a distance, he smiled and greeted, "Brother Long, Brother Qiang."

Chen Shilong took off his sunglasses unhappily: "You can recognize me even after this?"

"No, Brother Long, I didn't recognize your face, but your nose is really iconic..."

…………

Chen Shilong, Liang Jiahui and Zhong Chuhong took the same flight and set off for Dongyang.

Gold medal agent Chen Ziqiang, rarely accompanied Chen Shilong on this trip.

Next, he will stay in Hong Kong to discuss cooperation with Shi Nansheng about joining the upcoming agency under 91 Entertainment.

Boarding, take-off, landing.

Speechless all the way.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when the three big stars arrived in Tokyo.

A team of more than a dozen people, accompanied by assistants and martial artists, walked out of the airport.

Zhong Chuhong looked around curiously.

There were several cars parked outside the airport. When the doors opened, a familiar figure came into view.

It wasn’t Zhai Yuan, but his best friend Liang Zhichao who would occasionally come to 91 Entertainment for a stroll.

Zhong Chuhong felt a little disappointed.

"Brother Hui, Sister Hong. Brother Yuan is taking care of other things at the company, so he asked me to come pick you up."

Liang Zhichao had met the actors of 91 several times, and they got along well. He looked around the crowd and asked curiously, "Hey, why are there only two of you? Where is Chen Shilong, the one who beat up the drunken Eight Immortals?"

Zhong Chuhong and Liang Jiahui smiled teasingly and pointed at the short and strong man behind them who was wearing sunglasses, a mask and a hat, and was wrapped tightly and unusually. Chen Shilong raised his sunglasses to reveal his eyes: "This brother who I don't know how to call, has he left yet?"

……

ToKyo Hot Agency.

The street downstairs was blocked by the West Association Group, so I acted as a traffic policeman to direct vehicles to detour, leaving a large open space.

Dozens of members of the Western Association Group gathered together.

Zhai Yuan was busy moving among the crowd, instructing them to stand according to his requirements.

"Smear some chicken blood on these guys' faces to pretend to be dead bodies. Find a few fierce-looking ones to stand in front and distribute weapons to everyone..."

Under a command, the scene of being surrounded by extremists yesterday afternoon quickly reappeared at the entrance of the office.

"Fatty, don't get too close to your machine."

Zhai Yuan turned into a full-time director, dealing with the extras on the scene, and then instructed Wang Jin, who was holding the camera: "Set up the camera at a long distance to create a sense of candid camera shots. You are a tabloid reporter now, not a director, don't you understand?"

……

When Zhong Chuhong and his group arrived at the office.

The scene has been completely arranged.

When I got out of the car, I saw the most dazzling and handsome guy in the crowd.

Even though he is far away in a foreign country, Mr. Zhai is still surrounded by beautiful women.

Michiko on the left, Chikako on the right.

"I feel like the coverage of me in the newspapers is biased."

Chen Shilong, the top star of Jiahe, gradually became acquainted with Liang Jiahui, a young actor from Jiuyi, and complained: "Compared with your boss, I am as innocent as a virgin."

Liang Jiahui was not famous enough to dare to complain about his boss behind his back, so he replied with high emotional intelligence: "Mr. Zhai is in good health."

The bored Mr. Zhai finally waited for the actors to take their seats.

He glanced around and ignored Liang Jiahui who was waving and greeting him from a distance, and Chen Shilong who was wrapped up tightly.

His eyes fell on the leading actress Zhong Chuhong, and he immediately separated himself from the two Japanese prostitutes beside him, opened his arms and greeted her with a smile.

"Sister Hong, long time no see~"

A helpless smile hung on Zhong Chuhong's beautiful face. She could only describe this boss, who was a few years younger than her, as a playboy and a shameless person.

"Just hug me, don't take advantage of me."

"No, I'm a famous gentleman."

"Then why don't you let go?"

"I can't help it. I can't help it."

Zhai Yuan hugged Zhong Chuhong politely for more than ten seconds, and then reluctantly let go of her arms.

"Long time no see, Mr. Zhai!"

Liang Jiahui on the side took the initiative to open his arms with a flattering smile on his face.

Zhai Yuan looked at him curiously: "What are you doing? Pretending to be Jesus?"

Zhong Chuhong sneered, then realized she had lost her composure and quickly pursed her red lips to act serious.

Liang Jiahui laughed awkwardly, and the way to ease the embarrassment was to make a gesture of being nailed to a cross: "Yes, yes, do you think I look like the real one?"

"Idiot!" Zhai Yuan rolled his eyes at him unhappily, his eyes fell on Chen Shilong, and he reached out and ripped off his mask: "Don't pretend, nephew! As soon as you came over, I smelled the scent of a superstar. Come with me quickly, I need you for a few shots."

Chen Shilong was too lazy to correct his address and was dragged by Zhai Yuan to a group of extras from the Western Association Group.

Needless to say, these gangsters were shocked when they saw their kung fu idol.

In short, with Shuang Gu Long's current influence, he has become a household name in East Asia.

"You're starting work right after you got off the plane. What are you doing?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I didn't pay you for the film? Stand here obediently, or I will use my family's law to expel you from my sect!"

Zhai Yuan arranged Chen Shilong's position and explained the scene to him: "In a moment, this group of thugs will come and attack you. You have to show that you are not afraid of danger. You have seen many gang thugs forcing celebrities to film in Hong Kong. Just act according to that feeling."

As he spoke, Zhai Yuan waved to Xixie Yanan next to him and carefully took two grenades from him.

Zhai Yuan handed the grenade to Chen Shilong and said, "Hey, if you want to act impressive, just hold these two pineapples and confront them. The whole process will last about a minute and you can call it a day."

"It sounds simple enough. The plot of Hiroshima Monster?"

Chen Shilong played with the two grenades in his hands and said with a smile: "It's worthy of being a big production. Even the prop pineapple is made so realistic."

Zhai Yuan silently took two steps back: "Be careful, Lao Wei, this is Jian Ye."

When Chen Shilong heard that it was a real thing, he froze in fear: "Are you kidding me? Are you giving me something?"

Zhai Yuan said confidently: "The Soviet Union made the RGD-5, and the two together only cost 70 Hong Kong dollars. How can it be worth the time and effort to make props?"

"Anyway, finish this scene quickly. No one needs to be so scared. Are you ready?"

Seeing Chen Shilong nod with a grim expression, Zhai Yuan quickly left the temporary set.

He waved to Wang Jin who was setting up a camera in the distance.

Director Zhai gave the order: "Three, two, one, Action!"

…………

"The Asahi Shimbun received an anonymous submission yesterday, announcing a shocking incident that occurred on the streets of Agata City: around 5pm last week, the famous movie star Jackie Chan arrived at Toyo and was threatened by a gang member in front of the Toyko Hot office..."

"TBS radio broadcast, Jackie Chan went to Japan in a low-key manner, originally planning to shoot a new movie "Hiroshima Monster", a big production costing 20 billion yen. Perhaps because of the high production cost, even though Jackie himself was very low-key, he was still threatened by gangs..."

"The latest news from TV Tokyo: According to eyewitnesses, although the situation was critical, Jackie remained calm, took out two grenades and fought with the gang, successfully waiting for the police to arrive. Our reporter learned through interviews that the grenades Jackie took out were movie props, but his tough attitude is still admirable. Please watch the live footage provided by enthusiastic viewers below..."

On the TV screen.

A candid shot with a shaky perspective.

It records the vicious incident of 'a gang threatening Jackie Chan' that happened in front of the ToKyo Hot office that day.

In the picture, Chen Shilong was surrounded by dozens of gangsters. He was holding two grenades and confronting them majestically. The two sides were in a stalemate.

As the camera moved forward and shook, perhaps because the photographer was frightened and his hands were shaking, he inadvertently captured the sign of the ToKyo Hot agency and the seductive posters of female models on the outer wall.

There is almost no dialogue in the entire video.

Only in the last few seconds, a gangster who coerced Chen Shilong shouted out a line:
"How can your mother be so great! Chen Shilong is so great, but he dares not to give face to our Bamboo Union Gang, fuck your mother's ass!"

The scene stopped abruptly.

The bad boy's motorcycle accent still echoes in my ears.

The news anchor of TV Tokyo continued to comment on the incident with indignation:

"This incident has aroused widespread concern in the industry and the public. The police said that although the Japanese government has stepped up its crackdown on violent groups in recent years, foreign violent groups like the Bamboo Union still have the risk of spreading in certain industries..."

Kill three birds with one stone!
Zhai Yuan watched the news on TV and smiled with a clear mind.

Taking advantage of Chen Shilon's fame in Japan, the new film "Hiroshima Monster" was once again promoted on a large scale.

When talking about the vicious incident of coercion against him, it must be linked to this new drama which has not yet started filming.

"Izu Group lost 500,000 Hong Kong dollars? But after this round of publicity, the money saved is more than 500,000!"

In addition to "Hiroshima Monster", the agency that appeared clearly in the video also got a wave of free advertising. When all TV stations, radio and print media in Tokyo talked about the location of the incident, they could not avoid the name of Tokyo Hot.

On that day, the sales of the CD of "Wife Bai Jie" nearly doubled, and the number of prostitutes applying for the female model position increased suddenly.

Brother Chao is busy again.

In the end, of course, the blame was put on the Bamboo Union.

There was no other way, someone had to take the blame. The Izu Group apologized and knelt down very smoothly, but President Zhai felt that it was inappropriate to stab them in the back again, so the scapegoat became the Bamboo Union Gang, with whom they already had a grudge.

Not long after the Xu Jiasheng bombing, the issue of foreign violent groups disrupting social order was once again pushed to the forefront.
