Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 167 Hung Hing Provisional Meeting

Chapter 167 Hung Hing Provisional Meeting
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On his way to work that day, Wang Dao was stopped by Wang Jingjing.

The chubby boy said in a panic:

"Brother Dao, this is bad news. I've received information that the police are planning a month-long operation targeting Hung Hing."

Wang Dao smiled and affirmed:

"Not bad, not bad, they've even started to care about Hung Hing's intelligence."

"You should have offered tea to Brother Kun back then, so we could have become fellow disciples."

"However, isn't your information a bit late?"

The chubby boy's eyes widened:

"What? You knew all along?"

"Oh right, my sister-in-law works at TVB Jade, so she got the news earlier than I did."

The Way of the King:

"Is there anything else?"

The chubby boy panicked:

"Aren't you worried?"

The Kingly Way is inexplicable:

"What am I worried about?"

The chubby boy was sweating profusely with anxiety.

"The police are going to launch a month-long major operation against Hung Hing. Aren't you worried?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"They're targeting Hung Hing, not our Qiankun Films, so why are you so anxious?"

The chubby boy carefully observed Wang Dao's expression and, finding him completely unconcerned, asked curiously:
"Brother Dao, are you sure everything's alright?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"You often go to A-Qiang's place to host banquets for your fellow apprentices. Have you seen any problems with A-Qiang's place?"

The film "The Romancing Star," directed by the chubby guy, is currently showing in theaters. His first film is expected to break 10 million yuan at the box office, making him a hot commodity in the industry.

Directors are different from ordinary behind-the-scenes staff; they receive a lot of media attention.

The chubby guy himself was quite flamboyant and often treated his fellow apprentices to banquets.

Unfortunately, Kwan owns two streets in Mong Kok, and the chubby guy always takes his guests there when he entertains them.

Discounts are a minor matter, the most important thing is safety!

These days, if you go to a casual place to eat, you might just offend a big shot.

You would never encounter these kinds of things at Ah Qiang's place.

Even if a drunkard causes trouble, Sha Qiang won't let anyone disturb Xiao Pangzi, because he knows that Xiao Pangzi is one of his own.

The chubby boy patted his head:

"That's right, Brother Qiang's place is no different from other times."

"but……"

He looked at Wang Dao with suspicion.

"What about Hung Hing's other venues?"

Wang Dao said solemnly:
"The police hate it when people cross the line, but actually the triads are even more particular about these things than the police."

"What business is it of ours what the territories of the other Hung Hing leaders are?"

"If they can't hold on, they'll have to figure it out themselves. Brother Kun is only responsible for his own brothers."

It's a good thing that you have this intention.

"But Ah Jing, you must be able to distinguish between close and distant relationships."

"Only those in Brother Kun's faction are our own people."

"As for the others, who cares?"

"To put it bluntly, even if they were shot dead in front of you, what business is it of yours?"

The chubby boy suddenly realized:
"Brother Dao, I understand!"

Wang Dao patted the chubby boy on the shoulder and sighed:
"You don't understand!"

The chubby boy looked completely bewildered.

Wang Dao reminded him:
"You're not a member of Hung Hing, so don't get involved in gangster affairs."

"Of course, if anyone bullies you, you can mention Brother Kun's name. If you are bullied, we will get revenge for you."

Ultimately, you are just a filmmaker, a film director.

"The further away you are from matters of the martial world, the better."

The chubby boy finally understood and said gratefully:
"Thank you, Brother Dao."

The meaning of "the way of the king" is very simple: the little fat man's relationship with the martial arts world is merely that he works under the name of Qiankun Film and Television.

He can use the name of "Brother Kun" to avoid being bullied, but he is not a member of the underworld.

This was a great favor, which is why the chubby boy thanked him.

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"I forgot to tell you, the movie 'Chasing Girls' is very likely to reach ten million at the box office, just as the previous report predicted."

"Brother Kun said that once the box office revenue is distributed, he will give you a big red envelope."

The chubby boy was even happier:
"Thank you, Brother Dao."

Wang Dao rolled his eyes:
"Thank me for what?"

"You should thank Brother Kun."

The chubby boy chuckled:
"You're the bosses, thank you all."

The Way of the King:

How is the filming of "The Emperor's Disciples" going?

The chubby boy said with great enthusiasm:

"It went very smoothly. The police station and Hong An were very cooperative. My senior brother said he never thought he would be directing gang members to make a movie."

The Way of the King:

"Are you having trouble?"

"Whether it's the police station or Hong An, they are both powerful forces. Don't offend them."

"If you encounter any difficulties, I will help you coordinate."

"The martial arts world is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions."

The chubby boy said, feeling wronged:

"We're just ordinary filmmakers, how could we dare to offend anyone?"

"However, my senior brother gets along very well with them."

"They often eat at street food stalls together."

The king's way was silent:
"What kind of street food stall is this?"

"Let's go to a restaurant."

The chubby boy whispered:

"very expensive!"

Wang Dao was so angry he laughed:

"Are you stupid? These kinds of public relations expenses can be reimbursed."

"By the way, do you have any promising young talents?"

The chubby boy stroked his chin and said:
"If you can get that Inspector Leung to sign, then sign him. And Koo Siu-yuk from Hung On, he's so handsome!"

Wang Dao chuckled coldly.

"Can you be as handsome as me?"

The chubby boy shook his head:

"That guy definitely can't be as handsome as Brother Dao, but he's a handsome guy with an aquiline nose, he looks like he's from the Jianghu."

He was somewhat expectant.
"Can we sign him?"

Wang Dao gasped.
"He's the crown prince of Hong'an, and he might very well become the person in charge of Hong'an. You actually want to sign him?"

The chubby boy said awkwardly:

"Just saying."

Wang Dao thought for a moment:
"I really don't dare to answer that for you. I'll ask them later."

"However, it would be possible to ask him to make a cameo appearance in a few films."

The chubby boy asked in astonishment:

"A cameo role? That's so boring."

Wang Dao rolled his eyes:
"A cameo role, like a main character."

The chubby boy's eyes widened:

"Is that even considered a cameo?"

Wang Dao shook his head:
"It's just a way of putting it."

“Go help Ringo Lam. After ‘Chasing Girls’ finishes its run, ‘The Emperor’s Men’s Way’ will take over, and the scriptwriting department has several other films waiting to be filmed.”

"We'll try to release one film a month."

The chubby boy was overjoyed:
"That's a good option."

He signed a contract with a big-name director, and he would receive a guidance fee of 50,000 yuan for each film he made. If the film was successful, he would also receive a bonus.

The chubby guy is also known for his quick shooting; he's not afraid of having many filming assignments, he's just afraid of not having any roles to play.

I was almost ecstatic when I heard about the company's plan.

Wang Dao also said:

"By the way, could you also contact Longwei's side? It's time to start filming 'High Risk'."

Don't miss the time!

The chubby boy smiled wryly:

"Then we'll need Brother Jie's help."

The Way of Kings is straightforward:
"You should just go and discuss it with him directly."

The chubby boy laughed:
"I'll go."

After saying that, he went straight to find Li Jie.

Just as the chubby boy left, Liang Kun pushed the door open and came in, saying:

"Ah Dao, let's go to the company."

Wang Dao was taken aback:
"Aren't we right here at the company?"

Liang Kun rolled his eyes:
"Go to the Hall of Righteousness!"

The king's way was silent:
"There are still more than ten days until the Juyitang meeting this month!"

Handsome Kun simply came in and sat down, saying:

"It was a last-minute notification from Chen Yao."

A glint of light flashed in Wang Dao's eyes:
"Because the police station targets Hung Hing's shady businesses?"

"It's only been two days, and some people can't take it anymore?"

Liang Kun sneered:
"Isn't it?"

"Anyway, Brother Long, Brother Xin, Brother Ji, and Liang Ma have all called me to complain."

“Even the Tuen Mun Dinosaur called me.”

Wang Dao frowned and said:
"But they couldn't take it after only two days? That's too short a time!"

Luckily, Mr. Kun said:
"Thank goodness I listened to you. I focused my career on the film company, and those two streets didn't get messed up."

"Otherwise, we can't take it either."

“The gangs do a lot of shady business, which inevitably means they operate in a gray area.”

"If you say it's legal, then it's somewhat illegal; if you say it's illegal, then it's entirely within the law."

"This kind of business is everywhere in Hong Kong."

"Normally no one will care, but if you take it seriously..."

Leung Kwan shrugged.

"Nobody can stand it!"

"Let's go, let's hurry to Juyi Hall."

Wang Daoqi said:

"Is Jiang Tiansheng being so kind this time?"

Handsome Kun sneered:
"It wasn't Jiang Tiansheng who suggested it, it was Brother Ji. His Sai Wan district was investigated badly, and all his underlings have been laid off."

Brother Kei is a veteran of the underworld; he has a long history and is, of course, quite old.

Veterans like Brother Ji are basically people who started their careers in the underworld when they were twelve or thirteen years old.

Needless to say, his education level is questionable; he can barely read or write, so his ability to accept new things is naturally limited.

This resulted in his gang's business being entirely traditional, unconventional ventures. The new generation of Hung Hing members, like "Pretty Ma," trained hostesses for nightclubs. This kind of business never goes out of style; it's only difficult to cope with during crackdowns, otherwise it's always lucrative.

People like "Handsome Kun" and "Fat Lao Lai" either run film and television companies or publish erotic magazines; even a crackdown wouldn't affect their income.

As for Han Bin, he is even less affected.

The unlucky ones are Brother Ji, Brother Xin, and Brother Long, these old-school bosses.

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Then Little B is going to be in trouble."

Liang Kun has absolutely no manners; he gloated, saying:

"Serves you right!"

"Who gave him the intention to harm others?"

Wang Dao reminded him:
“Brother Kun, although Little B wanted to harm you, he actually helped you.”

"So you'd better behave yourself in the Hall of Righteousness."

Lam Kwan nodded:
"I know, it's about loyalty and righteousness."

He was quite dismissive of the words "loyalty and righteousness".

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"By the way, didn't we say last time that we were going to customize an armored car for you? Benny said it would be delivered as early as next month."

"He ordered three."

Liang Kun's Strange Path:

Three vehicles?

Wang Dao revealed a strange expression:

"Binny said the three: him, you, and me!"

Handsome Kun laughed heartily:

"Binny has finally realized how important you are."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"I'm better off staying in the background."

Handsome Kun laughed:

"You know, you'll have to stand on your own sooner or later."

The kingly way disagrees:

"Let's talk about it when the time comes."

The two called out to Li Jie and Chen Yongren, and headed to the venue.

Jimmy mustered his courage and stepped forward:

"Brother Dao, take me with you too."

Liang Kun looked at Wang Dao, then at Jimmy:

"Jimmy, didn't Ado say you didn't want to be involved in the underworld?"

"Then it's best if you don't attend our meeting."

"Once you join, there's no going back."

Jimmy quickly said:
“I’ve become Dao Ge’s disciple and am under his protection, so I should do something to repay him.”

"One should not be too selfish."

Handsome Kun shook his head:
"You're wrong about that. Everyone looks out for themselves."

"However, moderation is key!"

Jimmy quickly said:
"Master Ding, let me go."

Wang Dao looked at Jimmy with a puzzled expression and asked Chen Yongren:

"Has Jimmy been bullied lately?"

Chen Yongren said in astonishment:

"Who dares to bully him?"

Wang Dao looked at Jimmy, puzzled.

"what happened?"

Jimmy had no choice but to say:
"I heard from Director Jing that our company is in a bad situation."

Wang Dao suddenly realized.

Liang Kun asked in bewilderment:
"When did our company become unsuccessful?"

Wang Dao told Liang Kun about the chubby boy with a smile, and Liang Kun burst into laughter:

"Nonsense, our company is doing great."

"It's just that other branches are in a bad situation."

He said to Wang Dao,

"I think this young man is easy to get along with, so I'll take him along."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"You're the boss, you make the decisions."

Jimmy was overjoyed:

"Thank you, Master Ding. Thank you, Brother Dao."

Years later, whenever Jimmy thinks about what happened today, he feels like slapping himself; but at the same time, he is glad that he took that step forward.

This is a very contradictory thing.

The group got into the car, and Li Jie drove.

Wang Dao said to Jimmy:
"The Hall of Gathering Righteousness is not a place that ordinary people can enter."

"Only core disciples can go there. Like you, including me, to become a disciple whose name is recorded on the Hung Hing Undersea Flower List, there is usually an internship period."

"However, because of Kun Ge's situation, we've had to waive this internship period."

Even so, once you enter the Hall of Gathering Righteousness, you can only use your eyes and ears, but you cannot speak.

"We are not qualified enough."

Jimmy nodded repeatedly.

Wang Dao changed the subject and said:

"However, if Brother Kun says to beat someone up, then we'll listen to Brother Kun and beat up whoever he wants."

Jimmy was dumbfounded:

"Huh? The Hall of Righteousness can beat people up?"

Chen Yongren said with melancholy:

"They all participated in the last fight at Juyitang, but they left me out. What a pity."

Handsome Kun sneered:
"What's wrong with a fight breaking out in the Hall of Righteousness?"

"It's just a matter of paying a fine."

"When Jiang Zhen was alive, fights broke out frequently in the Juyitang."

"Those guys who run Fit are all uncultured, and they all use vulgar language."

"When you're angry, you'll use foul language and insults about your ancestors for eighteen generations. Can't you just vent by fighting instead?"

"That is to say, after Jiang Tiansheng took over, there were fewer fights."

Upon hearing this, Jimmy immediately realized that what Liang Kun said made sense.

Wang Dao recounted an interesting story:
"Actually, Jiang Tiansheng was very unhappy about our fighting."

“I talked to Uncle Liu, and he said that the rule in the auditorium is that if there is a fight in the Juyi Hall, the fine is 10,000 yuan.”

"But after we fought once, the fine immediately increased tenfold, becoming a fine of 100,000 yuan for a single fight."

"Sixth Uncle was overjoyed."

Chen Yongren guessed:

"Sixth Uncle doesn't like fighting, does he? After all, he's a member of the auditorium."

Wang Dao curled his lip:
"what?"

"Sixth Uncle is a member of the chapel. Apart from receiving offerings from the chapel, he basically has no income."

"If someone gets into a fight, he can collect a fine."

"The higher the fine, the better."

Chen Yongren was dumbfounded:
“Is that so?!”

Wang Dao reminded Liang Kun:

"Brother Kun, we're not the main characters today, so you'd better control your temper."

Young Kun saw it clearly:

"The main characters today are the other leaders. You have no idea how much resentment they had when they talked to me on the phone. I'm not going to argue with them."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Right, that is it!"

Chen Yongren said blankly:

"Brother Ding, Brother Dao, I don't understand."

Jimmy also said:

"I don't understand either."

Handsome Kun said to the two of them:

"If you want to make it in the martial arts world, you must grasp the general trend of the martial arts world. Otherwise, even if things are presented to you, you will be completely confused."

"If you don't understand the situation, you're just blind."

"You'll suffer a loss."

Professor Liang Kun went online again and gave Chen Yongren and Jimmy a thorough explanation of the background and consequences of the meeting.

Chen Yongren was dumbfounded:
"That guy, Little B, thought he had taken down Ba Bi and cut off Master Ding's money bag, but in reality, he removed a major threat to Master Ding?"

Jimmy shook his head:
"No, he took the blame for Master Ding."

Chen Yongren was taken aback:
"Taking the hit?"

A cold glint flashed in Jimmy's eyes:
“Even without Little B stepping forward, and without Jiang Tiansheng secretly giving orders, we would still take down a guy like Ba Bi.”

"In this way, we will inevitably face targeting from foreigners."

“For us, B did a good thing.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yongren nodded repeatedly:

"you're right."

Liang Kun glanced at Jimmy in surprise, then said to Wang Dao:

"Your young brother has great potential. With proper training, he could become a master of paper fan making."

Wang Dao was quite proud:

"Which of my men doesn't have potential?"

Handsome Kun laughed heartily:

"Yes!"

Amidst laughter and conversation, they arrived at the Hung Hing Ancestral Hall. Chan Wing-yan and Jimmy, quick to notice, opened the car door for the two. Outside, there were naturally other gang members who greeted Young Master Kwan with shouts of sympathy.

"Brother Kun!"

Liang Kun nodded slightly and led everyone into the Hall of Righteousness.

Everyone greeted Liang Kun upon seeing him:
"Ah Kun, you look even more beautiful!" That's your beautiful mom.

"Ah Kun, come to my place for tea!" That's Brother Kei.

"Ah Kun, come visit me sometime, the brothers all miss you." This was Brother Long.

"Ah Kun, sit here." This is Han Bin.

Liang Kun greeted everyone and sat down, then said to Han Bin:
"I'm not used to it today."

Han Bin asked in bewilderment:
"What's bothering you?"

Liang Kun shrugs:

"I'm not used to the fact that no one is mocking me."

Han Bin smiled wryly:
What's your hobby?

Isn't it a good thing that no one mocked you?
