Hong Kong variety show: I can boost loyalty, the most generous boss.

Chapter 240, Page 239: Blow up my movie theater? People will die if you talk nonsense!
Lai Chi-chang is naturally beautiful and intelligent. He is very realistic and knows what he wants.
She was naturally unwilling to give up the olive branch extended by Yang Jun, knowing that she had finally managed to meet Mr. Yang, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Seizing every opportunity is the choice of a wise person.

Yang Jun took out a cigar from his pocket, slowly and methodically cut off the end, and teased with a smile:
"Miss Li Zhi, if you want something in return, you have to pay a price!"

“Every leading lady in the film company is already taken. If you join, it will definitely force the other actresses out of the running.”

"I have no reason to kick other female artists out for your sake, right?"

Yang Jun, with a cigar in his mouth, was lit up by Da Dong, and they smoked without restraint in the restaurant.

The waiter saw this but didn't come to stop them. Instead, he thoughtfully brought over an ashtray and said with a fawning smile, "

"Mr. Yang, please enjoy your meal!"

Yang Jun casually gave the waiter a 500 Hong Kong dollar tip, which made the waiter beam with joy. The waiter bowed and scraped to Yang Jun, as if he wanted to kneel down and become his godson.

Lai Chi was shocked when he saw this!

Rich people really can do whatever they want. Smoking isn't allowed in upscale restaurants? Sorry, that's because you didn't book the whole place!
If you book the whole place, we can have anything from smoking to a full-on party!

As soon as Li Zhi thought of this, his eyes hardened again. What was Mr. He? Just an old wall lamp!
He's old and has an old-fashioned air about him. Li Zhi's approach to He Xin is all about climbing the social ladder.

Li Zhi was very relieved. Fortunately, he had only met Mr. He once and there had been no progress. He could still salvage the situation and was almost at his wit's end!
Compared to the tall, handsome, and super-rich Yang Jun, Li Zhi was completely captivated.

"Mr. Yang, I am willing to pay the price for success!"

Yang Jun nodded. What an ambitious girl! Poor Li Lianjie, you can't handle this woman!

“Ms. Lai Chi, it’s not convenient to talk here. There might be reporters and paparazzi around. Let’s find another place to talk.”

"I own a high-end sauna; would you like to try it out together?"

Yang Jun sent out a team invitation, inviting Li Zhi to go to a sauna together.

Ah! Li Zhi blushed. The other party had already laid their cards on the table: a man and a woman going to a sauna, was that proper?

However, Li Zhi did not have the courage to refuse. Seeing the impatience on Yang Jun's face, he immediately agreed.

"can!"

Yang Jun smirked, took Li Zhi's hand, and drove to a high-end entertainment venue with a sauna.

Next, it's just a matter of time before things naturally fall into place.

Three hours later, Yang Jun lay on the edge of the bed, puffing on a cigar, and looked at Li Zhi, who was fast asleep beside him.

Damn! I didn't expect Jimmy Lai to be such a fledgling?
Li Lianjie, that simp, has been licking for so long but still hasn't gotten to base?
He even divorced his wife for this, a simp who ended up with nothing.
"you're awake?"

Li Zhi opened his eyes, but didn't dare to look at Yang Jun, and shyly hid himself under the covers.

"Brother Jun, could I be pregnant?"

A minute later, Li Zhi poked his head out and asked worriedly.

Li Zhi felt as if his body was falling apart when he moved, the madness of yesterday flooding into his mind.

Considering that no contraception was used throughout the entire process, Lai Chi felt a little hopeful. If she got pregnant, wouldn't she be able to marry into a wealthy family and become a rich wife?

What the hell are you thinking about?
Yang Jun would never take in a woman as materialistic as Li Zhi; he might have her for fun, though!

Do you really think you're stupid? Marrying a woman like that would throw the household into chaos!

"What?!" Li Zhi was dumbfounded and angrily cursed.
"You bastard, how could you do this to me?"

Yang Jun shrugged and said in a teasing tone:

"Ah Jie is deeply in love with you, and you two have a ten-year promise. How could I possibly break you up!"

"I'm a good boss, how could I steal my employee's girlfriend?"

Yang Jun put on his clothes and pants, his face cold, and said to Li Zhi:

"Also, you want to seduce my father-in-law and become a mistress. This is immoral. Did you ask my mother-in-law for her permission?"

Fortunately, Yang Jun intervened in time to stop his father-in-law from making a mistake. This kind of temptation should be borne by the younger generation!
Yang Jun is a good person! Although he's lecherous and can turn his back on people, he's still a good person!

Li Zhi was stunned. He never expected Yang Jun to say such a thing. It was too shameless!

However, Yang Jun kept his word and said to Li Zhi:

"By the way, there's a supporting character in 'A Chinese Ghost Story 3,' why don't you give it a try!"

Lai Chi, who was originally in tears and felt deceived, suddenly brightened up when he heard these words!
Being able to act in such a big production, even as a supporting role, is a breakthrough in one's acting career!
Before leaving, Yang Jun left HK$20 in cash. Li Zhi's eyes widened, and he said indignantly:

"What do you take me for? I'm not a prostitute!"

Yang Jun looked surprised and gave a wry smile:

"Fine, then. I'm not going to hire a prostitute!"

He turned and walked out of the hotel room. He thought it would be fine to enjoy the novelty for a while, but it wouldn't be good if he got entangled with someone!
Yang Jun arrived at Giant Film Company, where General Manager Liu Xing presented him with a reply from the Film Administration Office. The rating for the film "Black Sun 731" had been released, making it Hong Kong's first Category III film.

"Boss, I've been trying to get the film rating from the Film Administration for a long time, but it's still only rated as Category III."

Liu Xing handed the document to Yang Jun. It was a rating report for "Black Sun 731". The content was bloody and violent, disturbing, and recommended for people over 18 years of age.

Yang Jun scoffed. It was clearly a legitimate movie, yet it became the first Category III film in Hong Kong cinemas. Where could anyone find justice in that?

"Alright, let's release it in Hong Kong first, and then release it overseas later!"

Yang Jun made a quick decision to release "Men Behind the Sun 731" in Hong Kong, but the audience must be 18 years of age or older and can only enter the cinema with their ID card.

Niu Dunfei was already very satisfied; he was content that the film could be shown in Hong Kong.

Yang Jun said to Niu Dunfei:

"Director Niu, you need to go to Sil-Metropole to discuss the mainland release."

"I've spoken with Director Bai in mainland China. There shouldn't be any problem with this movie being released there; it just requires a few procedures."

"In short, anyone who prevents the film from being released is a traitor!"

Yang Jun had communicated with mainland film regulatory authorities several times before, but there was a lot of resistance. Now, Japan is the largest foreign investor in mainland China, and the feelings of foreign investors need to be taken into account.

"Bullshit!" Yang Jun bluntly declared, "Investment is investment, and history is history!"
Anyone who prevents a movie from being released is a traitor.

As a result, the film regulatory authorities compromised because Yang Jun had greater influence and invested more in mainland China, far exceeding foreign investment in island nations, which gave him the confidence to speak out!

Strength determines one's voice!
Director Bai also agreed with the film's release and praised it as a patriotic film.

Niu Dunfei's eyes were filled with excitement as he grasped Yang Jun's hand and said:

"Mr. Yang, you are the most extraordinary businessman I have ever met. You are truly a man of great integrity!"

Yang Jun smiled and said to Niu Dunfei:

“Likewise, you’re the most unique director I’ve ever met!” The two smiled at each other, and Niu Dunfei went to Silver Screen Cinema to discuss the release date of “Men Behind the Sun 731” in Hong Kong, which was set for July 7th. More than ten cinemas under Yang’s Cinema Circuit would screen the film for ten screenings to see how it went!
Liu Xing looked worried and said to Yang Jun:

"With so many shows scheduled, boss, the attendance rate might not be satisfactory!"

Yang Jun was also unsure, since young people in Hong Kong knew little about this period of history, because the British were the invaders themselves, and they only briefly mentioned the history of the island nation's invasion.

In addition, the invasion of island culture, island anime and music have made young people in Hong Kong like island countries, and even Hong Kong people have a kind of worship for island countries.

"It's alright, I'll personally buy 3000 tickets and give them to my family and friends!"

Yang Jun was also helpless. Some deeply ingrained ideas are hard to change; cultural invasion is too powerful.

However, Yang Jun also controls public opinion and can certainly do something to change the minds of some Hong Kong people!
7 month 7 day.

A large crowd of citizens gathered outside the Causeway Bay Cinema of the Yang's Cinemas chain, all of whom had come to see the movie after being bombarded with advertisements on television.

Especially some older people, some of whom experienced the invasion of island nations, harbor deep resentment towards them.

"Brother Bao, it doesn't seem like there are many people here?"

Sammo Hung and Chan Lung also came to show their support. They saw the overwhelming publicity in newspapers and on television and thought there would be a lot of people watching, but the attendance rate was only about 50%.

"Since it's been decided to be a Category III film, there definitely won't be many people coming."

No sooner had they finished speaking than they saw four buses parked by the roadside, from which more than a hundred burly men with the air of thugs got out and rushed into the movie theater.

The cinema manager panicked and rushed out to check.

"We bought tickets and came to see the movie as a group."

Han Bin stood at the front, followed by more than a hundred of his underlings, all of whom he had brought from Kwai Tsing to watch the movie.

The cinema manager was incredibly embarrassed. "You should have said so earlier!"
I almost called the police. They were so aggressive; I thought they were there to cause trouble, but they just came to see a movie.

Han Bin said to his underlings:

"Listen up, everyone! You all have to bring your relatives and friends to see the movie, and I'll reimburse you for the tickets!"

"Anyone who doesn't go to the movies is disrespecting me!"

"Did you hear that clearly?"

Han Bin had a stern face and a very serious expression. He had received a phone call that morning from Da Dong, who said that the boss had bought 3000 movie tickets and distributed 300 to the Kwai Tsing branch, asking Han Bin to invite his underlings to the cinema.

Han Bin was very quick-witted. He knew that Yang Jun valued this movie, so he secretly paid out of his own pocket to buy another 1000 movie tickets and brought his underlings to support it.

"Listen carefully, boss!"

More than 100 henchmen shouted in unison; to the uninitiated, they would have looked like they were about to chop someone up.

When Hung Kam-pao and Chan Lung saw this, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

Another way is that these mules are all Mr. Yang's men, and they're not going to fight in groups, but to go to the movies?
Hong Jinbao's eyes lit up, and he said to his secretary behind him:

"Buy me 100 movie tickets. I want to support Mr. Yang's patriotism!"

The secretary nodded. One hundred movie tickets were nothing to Sammo Hung's wealth.
Sammo Hung owns his own film company and previously collaborated with Golden Harvest. Earning several million dollars a year is not a problem for him.

Seeing this, Chen Long was also eager to make a move; this was a chance to curry favor with Mr. Yang!

"I'll buy 100 tickets too!"

A nightclub on Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Luo Tianhong was drinking with a young lady when Wang Xin, the leader of the group, leaned close to Luo Tianhong's ear and said:
"Han Bin took more than a hundred people to Causeway Bay, not to find someone to fight, but to watch a movie!"

Luo Tianhong was completely bewildered. She had taken people to see a movie, but what was Han Bin up to?
Soon, Luo Tianhong also thought of the movie tickets that Da Dong had brought, and a thought struck her as she understood Han Bin's intention.

Damn! Han Bin's brain is really sharp.
Luo Tianhong put down his wine glass and said to his henchman:

"Let's go to another place, let's have the whole theater to ourselves!"

"Let's watch a movie?" The young lady next to me was unhappy and quickly tried to persuade me to stay.

"Brother Tianhong, watching a movie is nothing compared to drinking!"

"You're an adult now, let's go watch a Category III film together."

Upon hearing this, the hostess gave a suggestive look and then took Luo Tianhong's hand and left the nightclub.

Luo Tianhong waved his hand and booked a 200-seat movie theater to watch "Men Behind the Sun 731".

"Ugh... You call this a Category III film?"

The hostess was so shocked by "Men Behind the Sun" that she vomited, and then she cried. "Men Behind the Sun" was so shocking. It showed the cold-blooded ruthlessness of the Japanese and the pitiful helplessness of the Chinese.

After watching the movie and leaving the theater, the hostess swore at me.

"You little devils, I'll fuck your grandma!"

"Damn it, I'm never drinking with those Japanese devils again. If I run into them, I'll smash a bottle over their heads."

Luo Tianhong gave a thumbs-up to the hostess beside him.

"She has backbone; women are just as capable as men!"

The group left the cinema chatting and laughing. Inspired by Luo Tianhong, other branches of the Wo Luen Shing gang also couldn't sit still and started paying out of their own pockets to send their underlings to the cinema.

The box office of the movie "Men Behind the Sun 731" has been rising steadily. The box office of the movie was HK$30 on the first day, HK$100 million on the second day, and HK$120 million on the third day.

Hong Kong film critics mostly gave it positive reviews, praising it as a breath of fresh air in the Hong Kong film industry. Although it is a restricted film, it is a rare patriotic historical film and a masterpiece of Hong Kong cinema.

There's no other way; these film critics all need to make a living. They are all writers under the Giant Media Group, earning their living through their writing skills.

If you offend your boss, you won't even get to eat shit!
Of course, there were also some critics, namely newspapers funded by the island nation. They commented that the film deviated from history, damaged the friendly relations between Hong Kong and the island nation, and had very sinister intentions.

Some radicals even threatened to bomb the Causeway Bay Grand Theatre and made public threats in the newspapers!
At the mountaintop villa, Yang Jun, with a gloomy face, threw the newspaper on the table.

Luo Tianhong paced back and forth, looking extremely angry, and said to Yang Jun:

"Bomb our movie theater? These islanders are courting death, they want to rebel!"

"Boss, I'm going to dig up these Japanese devils and sink them all in the sea!"

Yang Jun sat on the sofa with a fierce dog at his feet. The dog was huge and its powerful physique made him feel intimidated. It was the Tibetan Mastiff that Yang Jun had raised for more than a year.

"Okay, be careful not to leave any loose ends!"

Yang Jun nodded, patted the Tibetan Mastiff's head, and said with a sneer:

"Bomb my movie theater? You'll get killed if you talk nonsense!"

Yang Jun was seething with anger. Did these islanders really think he was easy to bully? They even publicly threatened to bomb his movie theater in the newspapers! Now, people in Hong Kong are afraid to go to the Causeway Bay Grand Theatre to watch movies.
