Chapter 367 Whose idea?
Shengshi Entertainment has set up a special security department, giving capable and trustworthy brothers the position of security guards and paying them a monthly salary.
There are quite a few people in the security department who are specifically responsible for dealing with emergencies. The person in charge of this department is called Guo Bin.
After receiving Shen Chunming's call, Guo Bin was stunned for a moment: "The Changxing Society is here to collect protection fees?"
Last time during the holiday, he sent a valuable gift to the Changxing Society on behalf of Huang Yuliang. The two families had a good relationship, so why did he suddenly come to collect protection money?
"Yes, the place where we are filming today is the territory of the Changxing Society. Not only did they come to collect protection fees, they did it twice. I suspect that more people will come later." Shen Chunming said.
Guo Bin asked, "Did you tell them that you were from Shengshi Entertainment?"
"I told them I was from Shengshi Entertainment and told them I could talk to them for Mr. Huang's sake. But they said, 'Who knows Mr. Huang, Mr. Bai, or Mr. Hei?'"
Shen Chunming told Guo Bin in detail about the two times he collected protection money.
When he mentioned Huang Sheng's name and the other party didn't buy it, he knew that this matter was not his call. No matter what happened above, it was not something he, an assistant director, could handle. So, he paid the protection fee first, and how the higher-ups communicated afterwards had nothing to do with him.
When Guo Bin heard about this, he also felt that it was very serious and said, "I will bring people over right away."
After hanging up the phone, he called a few capable men to rush to the crew.
When Guo Bin arrived, the third wave of gangsters came to the crew to cause trouble. He opened the car door and walked towards those arrogant gangsters.
Shen Chunming was dealing with the gangsters, who kept coming over to extort money, clearly doing it on purpose. If they weren't careful, the crew, props, and machines would be smashed.
Seeing Guo Bin finally arrive, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately made room. "Brother Bin, please talk to these handsome guys and find out how much protection money they want before they'll give up. Originally, considering the friendship between the two bosses, I thought it was just a treat for us brothers, but if you keep asking for rounds of money, it's like you're not treating us as friends anymore."
Guo Bin took over Shen Chunming's position, his arms folded across his chest, staring at the gangsters in front of him. He was tall and burly, and standing in front of them, his physique could be the strength of two. "Whose henchmen are you? Tell me your names."
Several gangsters looked at Guo Bin.
Guo Bin was wearing a black vest, his muscular body was full of strength, and his murderous aura and vicious eyes were full of oppression.
The leading gangster was a head shorter than Guo Bin, thin and slender. His physique looked fine on its own, but compared to Guo Bin, he was like a child meeting an adult. He involuntarily took a few steps back.
"This is the location of the Changxing Society. You should be aware of the rules of the underworld. If you rent the land here to film a movie, you have to pay a management fee." The gangster said a little weakly.
"Rent? Open your eyes and see clearly. This is a public place. We have already reported to the municipal government before filming. Which department are you from? How dare you come here to collect management fees?" Guo Bin took a few steps closer to the gangsters, forcing them to take a few steps back.
The security guards who had followed Guo Bin also came over and surrounded the gangsters. These security guards, all tall and strong, looked down at the gangsters with a murderous look, making them feel uneasy.
"We are from the Changxing Society. If you dare to touch us, our boss will not let you go! No matter how good you are at fighting, can you defeat the 100,000 members of my Changxing Society?"
"Who is your boss? Which gang is he from?" Guo Bin asked.
The leading gangster hesitated. The boss hadn't said he wanted to break up with Huang Yuliang. Should he continue to deteriorate the situation? "Just wait, I'll call our leader over."
After saying that, the gangster ran away in a hurry with a few of his men.
Guo Bin did not chase after them. He stood where he was and watched them go away.
After the gangsters left, it no longer affected the filming, but Guo Bin's brows were furrowed.
He led his men to guard the area and noticed that some thugs would occasionally look over here with ill intentions. He said to the person next to him, "Go check which branch of the Changxing Society is in charge of this area."
The person nearby went to check and came back half an hour later, "Brother Bin, I found out that the person in charge of this branch is Chu Ying, also known as Brother Ying, and he is the newly appointed leader of the Changxing Society."
"Is it him?" Guo Bin's frown deepened. He recognized Chu Ying, the cousin of the former leader of the Changxing Society, and a very influential figure in the Changxing Society. Was it Chu Ying who wanted to cause trouble for Huang Sheng, or was it the Changxing Society that wanted to cause trouble for Huang Sheng?
Guo Bin decided to take his men to stay here and observe the changes.
The hooligans who were looking around from time to time on the street saw that Guo Bin didn't leave and had no way to collect the fee, so they called Chu Ying.
"Brother Ying, should we call a few more brothers over, or just let it go?"
On the other end of the phone, Chu Ying sneered, "Retreat first, the real show is yet to come."
The crew continued filming until the afternoon rush hour. Jia Zhendong came over and said to Guo Bin, "We'll have to shoot this scene for a few more days. I'd like to trouble Brother Bin to come over tomorrow to help calm things down."
Guo Bin nodded, indicating that he understood. After returning to the company, he reported the matter to Huang Yuliang.
"Mr. Huang, should we investigate? Is it Chu Ying who's against us, or is it the entire Changxing Society who's looking to cause trouble? What's their plan behind this sudden change of heart?"
Compared to Guo Bin's bewilderment, Huang Yuliang, after hearing the news, was initially surprised but then calmed down. "It's just a matter of profit."
As to whether it was a personal idea or the intention of the entire society, Huang Yuliang picked up the office phone and dialed a number.
After someone answered the phone, Huang Yuliang said, "I'm looking for Uncle Ding. Please call Uncle Ding for me."
"I'm sorry, the master has gone to visit relatives in the mainland and will not be back for a few months."
"Thank you." Huang Yuliang hung up the phone.
At this time, even Guo Bin realized the seriousness of the problem. "It seems that the entire Changxing Society is doing this. Mr. Huang, what should we do next?"
Huang Yuliang leaned back in his chair and adjusted his glasses. A sharp look flashed across his deep eyes, then disappeared in an instant. "Go with the crew for the next few days. Wait until they finish filming."
Since the second part of "The Queen of Hong Kong" was launched, Hu Xiaoxiao has been busy and has never stopped.
She takes the second part more seriously than the first. Many movies have a good first part, but there are often many bad things in the second part. She will never allow such things to happen in her movies.
