Zhang Jin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He couldn't understand why Anhua blocked his way when that was clearly the best opportunity to escape.
"What are you doing? Don't try to trick me. We're in this together. If anything happens to me, you'll be in trouble too."
"Things haven't developed to the point you imagined." Anhua said a little impatiently.
Hua An always felt that there was something wrong with Zhang Jin. Every time something happened, he acted like a desperado.
Hua An also prayed in his heart that this guy was not a wanted criminal or something like that, otherwise he would be courting disaster.
"I just nearly killed him."
"Oh, you..."
Hua An breathed a sigh of relief, wondering why this guy was so stupid in this area.
"You almost killed him? Does it matter? Do you watch the news?"
It's no wonder Hua An said that. Nowadays, there are too many cases of directors being beaten and disabled by a group of people for cursing a certain actress on the set, or offending a celebrity's second generation, causing accidents to his wife and children at home.
It’s always reported in the newspapers, and everyone knows what happened. Then what?
Hua An was a victim of this kind of thing. He simply borrowed an actor from outside to replace an actor from his own company, and did it without the other party's knowledge.
The other party attacked him without any negotiation. If he hadn't been well-informed, he would have been lying in the hospital for the rest of his life.
Some people have said before that the existence of the ICAC has caused many bad police officers to be fired, but this may not necessarily have a big positive impact on ordinary Hong Kong citizens.
After those corrupt policemen were laid off, the local organizations that were previously involved in those shabby businesses were subjected to several rounds of crackdowns, and anyone who dared to show up would be arrested.
But fundamentally, the number of these scumbags has not decreased at all, because these idle people are basically unable to do normal work, and their temperament and morals are not suitable for it.
The bosses of these people have basically accumulated a certain amount of economic strength. They either flee to other countries like Lei Luo, or give up and clean up their act to engage in other legitimate industries.
It goes without saying what the most profitable things were in the 1980s: houses and real estate.
Many people would not invest all their money in real estate at first glance, because those shrewd housekeepers will suck their blood at all times.
The film and television industry naturally became a good choice. Even some relatively famous directors were seen as powerless nerds by these gangsters.
Robbing such people is much better than doing the previous business.
Including many people who became film companies in the 1980s, which were actually completely empty shells. They had no actors of their own, no directors, no screenwriters, and no crew members.
They have money and countless threatening letters, which often work.
Their method is usually to scare the target first, or to suddenly cause a collision on the street, disrupt a fan meeting, and then threaten the people around the target, perhaps family or friends.
Then the next round is a beating, and the women might even take some nude photos or something.
In short, this group of people did not disappear, but took advantage of the current chaos to hide in various profitable industries.
In such an environment, people's tolerance for violence is already very high.
It's like being born in a country at war. Even if a bomb explodes not far away, the hungry people will not put down their bowls. People will be afraid at first, but when they gather together and talk, they will gradually no longer be afraid and get used to it.
Humans are extremely adaptable animals.
"You don't have to worry about this bullshit at all. If he wants to go, then let him go."
Hua An sat on the sofa. He felt extremely relaxed at the moment. In fact, he also hated Qin Beifang's expression.
"Well, now all we can do is pray."
Qin Beifang met Liu Yi. To be precise, he almost pushed the office door open, causing Liu Yi to look at Qin Beifang in surprise, wondering about a possible emergency.
However, Liu Yi then noticed the red mark on Qin Beifang's neck.
"What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong? That Hua An under your command!"
"Hua An pinched him?"
"No, it's him and that Zhang Jin."
"Sit down and talk slowly."
Qin Beifang quickly pulled his old colleague to the sofa. Anyone who encountered such a thing would feel that they could not take it lightly.
Liu Yi listened carefully to Qin Beifang's account of what had happened. To be more precise, he listened to Qin Beifang's account of what had happened, avoiding the important issues. Anyway, there was no need for him to repeat the unpleasant words he had used to criticize the two of them.
"Is this true?"
"Would I lie to you?"
Qin Beifang asked back.
Seeing the mark on Qin Beifang's neck, Liu Yi realized that there must be an explanation for the matter.
"Don't worry, there must be an explanation for this matter."
"Of course, I want these two people to get out of the company. Before that, they must pay the price for what they have done and kowtow to me and admit their mistakes."
"Forehead……"
Liu Yi paused. Regardless of whether this kind of "kowtow" was still practiced in this era, what he was thinking about now was the performance of the entire production department.
The company is now at a very critical moment, that is, the company is going to lay off the film production department.
Of course, Qin Beifang didn't know this news yet, because he was in charge of the company's internal administration and had nothing to do with content production.
There are only two options before Liu Yi now. One is that their department can prove its value and avoid layoffs, allowing the president to continue investing in the film and television department. With the company's past influence, perhaps it can still compete with the current three giants.
After all, things change, and old employees like Liu Yi naturally still believe that Shaw Brothers may survive.
Second, if the department is abolished, Liu Yi will face unemployment. Even if the company arranges other positions for him, it is obviously not suitable for Liu Yi to display his talents.
After all, a person can only get paid as much as he can achieve, and then he will have basically nothing to do with the company.
These are two extremes, so Liu Yi must now distinguish clearly what is good for the company and what behavior is good for himself.
Driving out Hua An and Zhang Jin, two popular figures, did not have much impact on the company. It simply accelerated the pace of departmental layoffs. In fact, Liu Yi himself had friends in real estate, and this business was indeed more profitable than making movies, and more stable.
Liu Yi knows very well how important cinemas are.
Casually driving away Hua An and Zhang Jin is of no consequence to the company, but it is denying their first option. Now Shaw Brothers really doesn't have many movies that can be a hit.
