Because of the geographical environment, population density and other backgrounds of Xiangjiang, it is impossible for the cinemas in Xiangjiang to look as grand as the domestic cinemas in the 1970s and 1980s, and even look like a square.
With its location facing the street and its huge signboard, this is already a good leading theater.
Wei Zhaohui stood on the side of the street, looking at the busy street and colorful neon signs in front of him, and fell into silence for a moment.
What was the error in that link? Why were the tickets for the midnight show of "Warlords" sold out?
Even if the publicity for this movie is so overwhelming, based on my own experience, it is impossible for the tickets for the midnight screening to be sold out at this time, right?
Could it be that there is an error in experience?
Wei Zhaohui couldn't understand.
Wei Zhaohui, who fell into silence, naturally did not notice that not far from the entrance of Bifang Cinema, there was a group of people watching the situation from a distance.
And the leader among these people is He Lian Sheng's popular fried chicken, Brother Cheng.
Standing next to eldest brother Cheng is Bao Tianming.
"Tian Mingzi, after this incident is over, thank Mr. Huan for me. You can reassure him that as long as I am here, I guarantee that no one will touch Mr. Huan's business!"
Bao Tianming said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, brother, I will definitely bring it."
The eldest brother Cheng nodded with satisfaction, then kicked a young man next to him who had been beaten into a pig's head, and said: "Look carefully at me. If you miss someone, I will use you to fill the sea!"
The man had been beaten to the point of being completely spineless, and he timidly said: "Cheng, brother Cheng, just don't worry, I know all the people in Brother Lin who can do things, there's no way I can make a mistake!"
"Humph, that's good!" The eldest brother Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
Afterwards, the eldest brother Cheng smiled and continued to talk to Bao Tianming: "Tian Mingzi, this old fox Lin Jiang dared to attack Huan Shao Company's midnight movie screening. He is really brave."
Big Brother Cheng is the first layer of security prepared by Chu Huan for the safety of the midnight show of the movie "The Warlord".
Fight violence with violence!
It is always the simplest and most direct way.
In later generations, a handsome boy named Chu Yanzu made a movie called "Knowing F, Criminal F".
This movie tells the story of Chu Yanzu, a handsome boy who was originally a police officer, but was sent by his boss to work as an undercover agent in a society. In order to gain the trust of the society boss, Chu Yanzu deliberately created an opportunity to meet with the society boss.
...By the way, I also met my sister-in-law.
Naturally, the club boss couldn't believe him so easily, so he arranged a test for him. During the test, he...
Chu Yanzu once said: People in the community are members of the community after all, and they cannot be so careful in doing things.
The reason why he said this was because among the people arranged by the club boss to test Chu Yanzu, there was one person who was close to the club boss and had been met by Chu Yanzu.
This sentence can actually summarize what happened to Lin Jiang. If he wanted to cause trouble at the midnight show of "Warlords", he would definitely send his little brother over.
In order to keep it secret, maybe he will use some new faces, but the people around him will definitely be leading the team.
Jianghu doesn't have that much loyalty. As long as you find one of Lin Jiang's closest subordinates and then use coercion and inducement, it can be easily bribed.
So there was this scene, where Lin Jiang's men found Lin Jiang's men among the moviegoers.
Time passed by, and as the midnight show approached, moviegoers began to enter the cinema.
"Cheng, Brother Cheng, that man with long hair wearing a floral shirt is Lin Jiang's subordinate Yan Luo."
Sure enough, Lin Jiang's younger brother happily betrayed Lin Jiang's men.
Brother Cheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out the walkie-talkie and told his people who were staying in the theater about the flowery shirt just now.
Yama walked into the theater relaxedly, preparing to find his seat. He did not come with his younger brother, but entered separately. Only in this way can he better hide his identity.
Yama is already very familiar with these things.
But just when he was looking for a position, suddenly a sharp dagger was pressed against his waist behind him, and then there was a sound.
"Don't make a sound, or I'll stab you to death!"
"Brother, have you recognized the wrong person? I'm just here to watch a movie!" Although Yan Luo was a little panicked, he still seemed calm and composed when he spoke.
The man behind him smiled easily and said: "How can we admit our mistake to the famous Yama!"
When he heard the other party calling his name directly, Yama knew that the other party was well prepared.
"Now that you know my name, you should also know who I am. If I have offended you in any way before, I will definitely set up a table to apologize to you after today!"
"It's too late, come out with us now and don't talk!"
Yama can only obey the other party's orders.
So with the knife on his waist, Yan Luo followed the two people out of the theater. Seeing this situation, the theater ticket office immediately shouted loudly: "There is another ticket, who wants it!"
When Wei Zhaohui, who had never left, heard this, he quickly turned around and shouted: "Me, me!"
When Yan Luo followed the two people to his eldest brother Cheng, he finally knew who was dealing with him.
"Brother Cheng, what do you want to do?"
The eldest brother looked at the other party with a smile and said: "I don't want to do anything, just because I don't want you to delay Huan Shao Film Company's midnight show."
Yan Luo said angrily: "Brother Cheng, when did you become Chu Huan's lackey?"
The eldest brother Cheng said nonchalantly: "It's better to be a loser to the rich than to fight like a dwarf mule!"
The eldest brother Cheng did not work for Chu Huan in vain, he received 100,000 Hong Kong dollars from Chu Huan!
One hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars in 1972 was already a lot.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and tell me, how many people are here this time and where are they sitting?"
Yan Luo snorted coldly: "Bah, if you dare, beat me to death. You want me to betray my brother and dream!"
"Haha, it's quite cool. Since you said so, I will help you!"
After the eldest brother Cheng finished speaking, he motioned to his younger brother to take Yama Luo into the back alley and prepare to deal with him properly.
A few minutes later, only Yan Luo's screams were heard, and there was no sound of him surrendering. Seeing this, Bao Tianming on the side knew that he could not delay any longer, so he turned and walked into the alley.
The four eldest brothers and the younger ones were beating Yama Luo violently with wooden sticks. Yama Luo was curled up in a ball, holding his head tightly and not saying a word.
Bao Tianming took out a dagger from his waist, turned the other party's body over, the dagger fell on Yan Luo's brother, and said coldly.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Tell me how many of you are here and where they are sitting. Otherwise, I will make you the last eunuch in Xiangjiang!"
After saying that, the dagger passed through the clothes, and after the cold blade came into contact with Yama's skin, Yama couldn't help but shuddered.
Someone once said that most of a man's courage comes from his younger brother, no matter how big or small, but it is certain that that thing gives them unlimited courage.
When Bao Tianming did this, Yan Luo, who had looked like a tough guy just now, was instantly frightened, especially after the sharp edge of the dagger came into close contact with his younger brother.
"I said, I said!"
Yama lost the courage and panicked and told everything he knew about the situation.
Bao Tianming directly picked up Yan Luo, came to his eldest brother Cheng, and said: "Brother, I have found out clearly. Now I will take people in and bring out all the people in Lin Jiang!"
The eldest brother Cheng glanced at Bao Tianming, then smiled and said: "Be careful!"
Under the leadership of Bao Tianming, the eldest brother and his younger brothers walked into the theater, and naturally no one stopped them.
In order to create a commotion in the midnight show of "The Great Warlord", Yama obviously did his job and asked his people to sit apart to better inflate the atmosphere.
But it is useless now. The younger brother has been betrayed by the elder brother. In order to ensure that there is no panic in the theater at this time, Bao Tianming works silently, working in pairs. Whenever Yan Luo points out one of his younger brothers, there will be two
When three people appeared next to his younger brother, they stood up and left without saying anything.
So waiting outside the cinema, those who have not bought tickets will find that there are empty tickets every once in a while.
They are very happy!
But the people of Yama were not so happy. The thirty younger brothers were caught one by one. Soon after the elder brother arrived, the place was full of people.
"Tian Mingzi, did Mr. Huan tell me how to deal with these people?" The eldest brother Cheng asked Bao Tianming.
When Bao Tianming saw these people, he said: "What Young Master Huan means is that since these people are from Lin Jiang, they naturally want Lin Jiang to bring money to redeem them. As for how much money is needed, how to ask for it, and how much money is needed."
Come on, brother, you can spend it however you want, what Huan Shao means is, brother, you can do whatever you want!"
The eldest brother Cheng immediately showed joy. This was a huge amount of income. He immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, I promise to make Young Master Huan happy!"
The time came to 11:30 in the evening. Wei Zhaohui sat in his seat and looked in the direction of the big screen with some excitement. According to convention, the movie should start at this time.
As for how he got his position, and how the cinema accurately knew that these positions would be vacant, Wei Zhaohui didn't think about it. He just wanted to see what this hyped movie was like.
But just when Wei Zhaohui thought the movie was about to start, suddenly a figure walked to the stage. Under the light, Wei Zhaohui recognized the person as Xu Guanjie, a singer who had become somewhat famous in Hong Kong during this period.
After Xu Guanjie came on stage, he first welcomed everyone to watch the midnight show of "The Great Warlord", and then introduced the guests in the audience.
Although this had never happened before in Hong Kong at midnight, everyone was still a little curious.
Especially when everyone heard the black and white video, the boss Chu Huan also came to the scene, and sitting with Chu Huan was Jackson, a senior foreigner from the Xiangjiang Police Department.
Wei Zhaohui sat there and curled his lips, saying: "You think calling the ghost guy here will improve the quality of the movie? That's nonsense!"
Obviously, Wei Zhaohui believed that the reason why Gui Lao was invited to the midnight show of "Warlords" was just to increase the topic of the movie after its release, and it was just another publicity method.
But in fact, Chu Huan invited Jackson here just to ensure the safety of the midnight show of "Warlords".
Inviting Jackson here was due to Huo Qilin's relationship. Of course, it's not that Huo Qilin knew such a high-level person, but that after Chu Huan paid 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, he gradually invited Jackson here through layers of connections.
.
The reason why the Xiangjiang community dared to be so arrogant at this time was because they were inextricably linked to the police station.
But for the Xiangjiang community, there is a red line that cannot be touched, that is, they cannot take action against the ghost police, especially high-level officials like Jackson.
Otherwise, the four detectives wouldn't be able to protect them.
After Xu Guanjie's introduction, the movie officially started.
Wei Zhaohui sat there, preparing to watch this heart-wrenching movie with critical eyes.
As the movie opened and the story began to advance, Wei Zhaohui heard the laughter and applause of the people around him. At this time, Wei Zhaohui thought their laughter was a bit low, and secretly despised them in his heart.
but.......
This movie is really good!
The older newcomer actor Xu Guanwen's performance is also very good, the heroine Tian Ni is also very beautiful, and the story seems to be quite interesting...
Then, then, Wei Zhaohui couldn't help but laugh and clapped along with the people around him.
Just as Chu Huan thought, a movie that can stay famous for decades and is famous for its box office will definitely not disappoint the audience.
For Chu Huan, the so-called film critic ratings are not important at all. As long as the audience likes it and it is worthy of the majority of the audience who bought tickets, it is a success for a film.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The behavior of giving up most of the audience for the satisfaction of a very small number of people is something that only idiots would do. Chu Huan would never do anything.
.
Li Hanxiang sat there with a reserved smile on his face, but he was already happy inside. His attention was not on the movie, but on the audience in the theater.
The intensive applause and laughter, as well as the occasional tacit laughter from the male audience, all indicate that the film has reached the audience's level of satisfaction.
It’s stable this time!
"Awen, you are going to be popular this time!"
Li Hanxiang laughed and said to Xu Guanwen beside him: "Look at the audience, their reaction is the best recognition for you!"
Xu Guanwen was also smiling all over his face at this time, but his temperament was really not suitable for such a smile, so it gave people a strange feeling.
"Thank you, Director Li. If it weren't for your good training on the spot, we wouldn't be in this situation now."
Li Hanxiang laughed and said, "It's because you work hard enough. I can see that you are an actor with great ideas. If you perform well and have Young Master Huan supporting you, you will definitely succeed in the future!"
Xu Guanwen nodded seriously and said, "I will definitely not let Mr. Huan down."
Xu Guanying, who was sitting on the other side of Xu Guanwen, was also smiling. Although he didn't play many roles in the movie, a popular movie was always a good start for his career as an actor.
Of course, the same goes for Tian Ni, the other main actor.
When a movie becomes a hit, everyone involved can reap dividends. This is an indisputable fact.
The reaction of the audience gave these people sufficient confidence.
When the movie came to an end, Chu Huan's attention was focused on the reaction in the cinema hall. Although Bao Tianming had found him before and told him that Lin Jiang's people were under control, Chu Huan could not guarantee whether there were any omissions.
, so you need to be more careful at this time.
In fact, Chu Huan's guess was absolutely correct. The people of Yama at the scene were not all gone, and there were always one or two who slipped through the net.
As the movie ended, the two people who had slipped through the net got up directly and prepared to start causing trouble with the others as planned.
"What the hell, what a crappy movie..."
The curse came out, but no one responded. Instead, people around him applauded.
"Brother, why are you scolding such a good movie? Do you have an appreciation for it?" Wei Zhaohui slapped his palms hard. Now he was completely conquered by this movie. Hearing people around him say this
The movie was not good, and Wei Zhaohui immediately looked at him dissatisfied.
The dwarf mule is like this. When there are many of them, he naturally shows off his power, but now his companions have disappeared.
Then I looked at the applause and cheers of more than two hundred people in the theater.
The man was immediately frightened.
"Yes, yes, I just said it wrong. This movie is so damn good. I like it very much, especially the fourth aunt in the movie is so damn beautiful!"
He was also very serious when watching movies.
Wei Zhaohui gave him a smile that every man would understand.
"Brother, I've never met you before. I still have some impressions of those people who always came to see movies in the past." Wei Zhaohui felt that he had found someone with the same goals and seemed very happy.
"That, that..." The short mule didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Ah, I understand." Wei Zhaohui helped him find the reason at this time: "You must have come here after seeing the promotion of "The Great Warlord"?"
I'm here to fucking cause trouble... The short mule nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"
"Well, to tell you the truth, brother, I was really dissatisfied with the publicity of this movie before. I always felt that really good movies would be watched by people without publicity. But now I realize that I was wrong. The wine still smells good.
I am afraid of deep alleys, this is true, this movie is really great."
Seeing Wei Zhaohui's excited look, the short mule could only nod his head, "That's true."
After saying that, the dwarf mule turned around and wanted to leave. He had to find out why all of his people were gone.
But Wei Zhaohui failed to make him happy.
"Brother, where are you going? We haven't even gone on stage to shake hands with the film's creators. With such a good film, we have to encourage them at all costs!"
After saying this, regardless of whether the short mule was willing or not, he dragged the other person and walked towards the stage.
At this time, Li Hanxiang, Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanying, Tian Ni and others were already standing on the stage, shaking hands with the enthusiastic fans.
Chu Huan did not go on stage, but said goodbye to Jackson. Nothing has happened so far, which means that today's conspiracy about the movie "Warlords" should have been completely shattered.
"Mr. Jackson, thank you very much for coming this time. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future!"
At the entrance of the cinema, Chu Huan shook hands with Jackson and said goodbye.
Jackson laughed and said: "Of course, it's such a good thing, you can get money and watch such a good movie. With this kind of cooperation, I also hope that there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future!"
The policeman at this time was so direct and made no secret of his greed.
I believe that after this incident, there will be no future incidents, and it is impossible for Chu Huan to let Lin Jiang just let this matter go.
Some things, once you do them, you need to pay a price!
After chatting with Jackson for a few words, he sent him away.
But just when Chu Huan was about to return to the theater, a movie fan who had just walked out of the theater came face to face with Chu Huan.
Just when the two sides were about to pass each other, the other party suddenly took out a dagger from his bag and stabbed Chu Huan.
Just when the opponent's dagger was about to touch Chu Huan's skin, a strong hand directly grabbed the opponent's wrist and broke it violently. The opponent immediately cried out in pain and stopped his behavior.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lin Feng stood beside Chu Huan and stopped this person.
"Master Huan, are you okay?"
Lin Feng looked at Chu Huan with a worried look.
Chu Huan was also a little shocked by the scene just now. He originally thought that if nothing happened in the theater, nothing else would happen, but he didn't expect that something like this would happen now.
Fortunately, he has never let down his guard, and Lin Feng and others have always stayed by his side, otherwise things would have been really troublesome.
In addition, other audiences who came out of the cinema also looked here curiously. Seeing this, Chu Huan said to Lin Feng.
"Take people to Tianming!"
Looking at the man restrained by Lin Feng, Chu Huan said coldly that this was the most dangerous accident he had encountered since his rebirth. Such an accident made Chu Huan very angry.
Lin Feng nodded, handed the man into Ma Jizu's hands, and asked Ma Jizu to take him to find Bao Tianming.
Chu Huan put on a smile and walked to the theater again.
Lin Feng reminded from the side: "Young Master Huan, you'd better be careful, just in case they have a back-up plan."
Chu Huan did not show off at this time, but nodded and said: "Well, I know, I will stay by your side honestly."
In this situation involving his own safety, it is impossible for Chu Huan to show off. That is something only two hundred and fifty people would do.
Lin Feng and others also nodded with satisfaction.
When Chu Huan returned to the theater, Li Hanxiang and others still had a lot of fans there. This situation was far worse than when "Dragon Tiger Fight" was released.
After waiting for a long time, until there was no one else in the cinema, Li Hanxiang and others came to Chu Huan with excited faces.
It can be seen that everyone has a big smile on their face, and they are very satisfied with today's situation.
"Master Huan, depending on the situation, the movie's sales are already unstoppable!" Li Hanxiang said very proudly.
Fang Jianhui laughed from the side and said: "During the day today, Mr. Huan already ordered that "The Warlord" will be shown in all cinemas under Shanhai Cinemas tomorrow, as well as those cinemas that have signed contracts!"
Speaking of this, Fang Jianhui said angrily: "Humph, Anle Cinemas must be regretting it now!"
When Chu Huan went to Taiwan before, he asked Fang Jianhui to contact Anle Cinema about releasing "The Great Warlord", but the boss of Anle Cinema had no such idea at all. They were determined to only release Western films and not to Hong Kong at all.
piece.
Fang Jianhui searched several times, but to no avail. In the end, he had no choice but to give up.
Now judging from the midnight screening of "Warlords", this movie is likely to become a hit, and Fang Jianhui is naturally very relieved.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "How about you try again tomorrow?"
Fang Jianhui rubbed his neck and said: "That's what I really think!"
The sudden turn of events left everyone speechless.
"It's not shameful to make money!" Fang Jianhui said proudly, not caring about everyone's attitude.
Chu Huan patted Fang Jianhui on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yes, he looks a bit like a general manager now."
Fang Jianhui chuckled, and Chu Huan said to him again: "I see that everyone is not sleepy now. Mr. Fang, you can take everyone to have a supper, just to celebrate. When the box office is a big hit in the future, we can have a good time
Celebration!”
When Fang Jianhui heard what Chu Huan said, he was stunned for a moment and asked: "Brother Huan, aren't you going with us?"
Others also looked at Chu Huan curiously. When he was so happy, Chu Huan was not with them?
Chu Huan explained: "I have some other things to do, you go ahead."
The identity of the swordsman just now has not been figured out, so it is naturally impossible for Chu Huan to go for supper with Fang Jianhui and others.
"Okay, but you must show up at the celebration banquet!" Fang Jianhui said to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan laughed and said, "I am the chairman of the company. If I don't go, who will send red envelopes to everyone?"
Hearing what Chu Huan said, Li Hanxiang and others immediately smiled.
"Okay, you go ahead, I'll leave first!"
Chu Huan waved to everyone and left the theater, while Fang Jianhui took everyone to have supper.
After coming out of the theater, Chu Huan did not go to Bao Tianming immediately. Instead, he called Cao Yunshang at the phone at the theater box office.
The other party is still thinking about this.
"Wait for me, I'll go over now!"
When she heard that someone was assassinating Chu Huan, Cao Yunshang couldn't sit still. She directly said on the phone that Chu Huan wanted her not to come over, but at this time, Cao Yunshang had already hung up the phone.
Helpless, Chu Huan could only wait for Cao Yunshang's arrival at the entrance of the theater.
Soon, Cao Yunshang's red sports car appeared at the door of Bifang Cinema with lightning speed. Seeing this, Chu Huan got out of the car.
Cao Yunshang hurriedly came to Chu Huan's side and carefully inspected Chu Huan, "Didn't I tell you whether there were any injuries? I asked you not to take risks. How come there is such a thing and there are no injuries!?"
When it came to the end, Cao Yunshang was already hopping and crying.
Chu Huan gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks and said comfortingly: "With Brother Feng and the others here, how could I be hurt?"
