Chapter 189: Night in Mong Kok
Yesterday evening, Jia Liang, the director of "Leather Lantern", was beaten by several people with sticks in the company's underground garage.
It is suspected that Jia Liang was retaliated against because he publicly scolded Chen Jialuo not long ago, and the participants may have triad backgrounds.
Jia Liang was then sent to Maria Hospital by a friend, where his head was broken, his right leg was fractured, and he suffered varying degrees of trauma in many places all over his body.
The West Kowloon Anti-Black Team intervened in the investigation, originally yesterday "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" had a midnight test screening, Chen Jialuo, as the director, did not appear, and soon the reporter saw him and Xu Wei at the door of the West Kowloon Police Station.
According to people familiar with the matter, Jia Liang insisted that Chen Jialuo instructed others to do it.
Xu said that Chen Jialuo only came to assist the police in the investigation.
And when the reporter asked whether Chen Jialuo was personally involved, Chen Jialuo sneered and said: If I had a share, the director in your mouth would not be in the hospital, but in the funeral home.
However, the reporter interviewed the West Kowloon Anti-Gang Group, and they said that the case was still under investigation, and it was inconvenient to reveal too much, and Chen Jialuo was indeed here to assist in the investigation.
……
"Director Jia Liang was attacked and hospitalized by unknown persons, and the spearhead was directed at Chen Jialuo. 》
"Arts Pictures Co., Ltd.: We are seriously concerned about this matter, put an end to violence, I don't believe that Chen Jialuo will do this, if so, I am very disappointed. 》
"Last year's kidnapping incident caused the club to catch fire, the big man in the hall was shot, and Chen Jialuo was in the whirlpool of the storm. This revenge incident once again makes people wonder: Is this newly baked best director really a triad member?
"Chen Jialuo clamored to let Jia Liang enter the funeral home, arrogant. 》
"Jia Liang has been discharged from the hospital in a wheelchair because he is busy preparing for the release of "Leather Lantern 2". He said that he would not be intimidated by any threats of violence, and that the box office of "Leather Lantern 2" will definitely surpass the second part of "A Chinese Ghost Story"!
……
Most of the gossip weeklies in Hong Kong have large reports on Jia Liang's attack. In addition to the deliberately posed photos of the injuries, there are also photos of Chan Ka-lok sneering at the entrance of the West Kowloon Police Station.
The following is accompanied by the half-cut sentence that Jia Liang was going to be sent to the funeral home, even if it was an ellipsis that made people feel that Chen Jialuo had no one in his eyes.
In these reports, it is implied between the lines that Chen Jialuo is a member of the triad and is a 100% underworld troubled boy, so Jia Liang's matter must have been done by Chen Jialuo.
and then pulled out some old things, such as the unspoken rules of Xue Ni, scolding Zhou Yunfa on the set for being a fool who can't act, suppressing Chen Xiaodong as a producer and other so-called 'negative news', all based on his identity as a member of the underworld.
There are even some tabloids that make up all kinds of news, such as Chen Jialuo's Ten Daughters at Night, the entertainment industry has long been called 'lewd 0 demon', and his real identity is the nephew of a certain club boss, and his seniority is very high, so even the new leader has to stand up for him and so on.
In those descriptions, Chen Jialuo is a complete scumbag, and he was lucky to shoot "A Chinese Ghost Story" and became an instant hit. As for "Prison Storm", why can it be filmed so well and so realistically? Because he has many friends on the rivers and lakes, he shoots it well.
The media here began to criticize Chen Jialuo, all kinds of slander and rumors, and even rumored that the bigwigs in the film industry had long been unhappy with him, and even Xu Meng told him to get out, really because this kid was extremely arrogant and had no one in his eyes.
On the other hand, some mainstream media reported very seriously about Jia Liang's strange attack, and they did not connect with Chen Jialuo at all.
Even if there is, it is only a light brushstroke, for example, Director Jia Liang suspects that Chen Jialuo is looking for someone to do it, as for the facts, it is still to be further announced by the police.
Others were arranged by Xu Xian to do public relations overnight, vigorously praising the success of the midnight test screening of "A Chinese Ghost Story 2", with a wave of applause, and the audience refused to leave for a long time.
By the way, it is natural to praise Chen Jialuo. The youngest best director at the Academy Awards, step by step, from the initial frustration on the street, to the revival after several years of silence, finally became an instant hit, creating a classic example of a young man chasing dreams, sticking to his ideals after failure, and finally succeeding.
A very positive image, coupled with a photo of Chen Jialuo sweating on the set, is the 'most maverick behind-the-scenes filmmaker', and the best spokesperson for behind-the-scenes filmmakers.
Xu Qing: Arlo is a very good director, and I can't reach him at his age.
Zhou Yunfa: I don't believe that Chen Jialuo would do this, I believe in his character. And in the field of film, he has always advocated using movies to defeat opponents, rather than using fists.
Leslie Cheung: Impossible, I believe him.
Wang Guxian: It must be rumor-mongering.
Chen Xiaodong: Some people use Chen Jialuo to hype, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" to hype.
……
But everyone who has cooperated with Chen Jialuo, from the director to the actors and even some drama affairs, has come out to stand up for Chen Jialuo, expressing their belief in the person of the chief helmsman.
But no matter what, it is true that Jia Liang was beaten, it is true that he was injured and hospitalized, and it is also true that he came out in a wheelchair, and before he was beaten, the only person who had a grudge against someone was Chen Jialuo.
This is a very public grudge, and the public's thinking will definitely lean in this direction.
……
At night, the neon flashed, and Chan Ka-lok, who was stuck in the quagmire, appeared in the Fa Yuen Street of Mong Kok wearing a peaked cap and wrapping it tightly.
Mong Kok is definitely a mixed place for Hong Kong people, with pork shops, tea restaurants, comic shops, and fashion stores coexisting peacefully, and everyone has something for themselves.
Garden Street has a nickname called "Sneaker Street". Trendy young people are all sneaker maniacs, they disdain to go to Nike and Addidas stores to buy big road goods, but like to go to the "sneaker street" to find treasures.
Many sneaker brands produce limited editions in collaboration with different artists and designers. "Sneaker Street" is a paradise for these limited-edition sneakers, and the prices are not cheap at all.
Chen Jialuo's appearance at the "Sneaker Street" at night was not to buy shoes, but to find people. Mong Kok can be said to be Hong Kong's red-light district (this is a parody of which, unlike some well-known red light districts abroad, where prostitution is not legal), is lined with small nightclubs, dance halls, steam baths and "One Fung Lou".
So don't think that "Sneaker Street" is only for shoe sellers, and there are no other entertainment venues.
