Chapter 83 [Dark War]
Chen Tianlang has never been a person who is good at satisfaction, nor has he ever been a generous person.
His principle is: if there is kindness, it will be repaid, and if there is revenge, it must be repaid twice.
But Niu Hongqi stepped across the line and made so many moths, which made Chen Tianlang feel a headache.
Although Chen Tianlang has the little secret left by Niu Hongqi in his previous life, which is also his biggest weakness--- Niu Hongqi is a, and he still suffers. But this little secret can only be effective when used at the most appropriate time, and if it is hastily used, I am afraid it will backfire. So Chen Tianlang can only wait slowly for the opportunity to make a move.
It's a pity that Chen Tianlang hasn't done it yet, but Niu Hongqi has already taken action, and it is a "magnifying move", announcing to the outside world that he Niu Boss will pick out one of the eight game halls and transform it into a larger video game city, costing 50,000 yuan, with a venue of nearly 1,000 square meters, and the entire video game city can only be described in four words, that is, "luxury" and "style".
As soon as the news of the launch of the Meixi video game city project came out, the biggest impact was undoubtedly the panda video game city that Chen Tianlang had just gained a foothold.
The reason why Panda Video Game City can stand out among many game halls is that it has the advantage of luxury and a unique membership system. Now Niu Hongqi is following the example, not only to copy the membership system of Panda in the past, but also to surpass Panda, which will undoubtedly have a great impact on the future business of Panda Video Game City.
After hearing the news, Guo Fatzi, Wang Shishi, He Dayong, and Qi Dabing and others were a little panicked.
You must know that the business of Panda Video Game City is so good now, for those of them who do not seek academic progress and end the college entrance examination directly, it is undoubtedly a guarantee and a hope. If they don't even have this guarantee, they don't know what to do in the future.
Seeing the fat man and the others panicking, as if the end of the world was about to end, Chen Tianlang seemed very indifferent and calm.
Looking at his unnervous appearance, everyone really didn't know what he was thinking.
……
That night, Chen Tianlang called it a day ahead of schedule and asked He Dayong and Qi Dabing to take care of the business of the video game city for him, and then took out two movie tickets for the fat man and Wang Shishi, and said, "Let's go, I'll invite you to watch a movie." ”
"Watching a movie?" The fat man and the stone looked at each other, they really didn't understand why Boss Chen's heart was so wide, the enemy was coming, and now he was still in the mood to go to the movies.
"Don't regret it if you don't watch it, tonight's film is "Wulang Gossip Stick" starring Liang Xiaolong!" Chen Tianlang said the name of the movie.
As soon as he heard that it was played by "Liang Xiaolong", the fat man and the stone immediately had their eyes shining, you must know that Liang Xiaolong is the kung fu idol of many big boys in this era, especially the two dramas "Huo Yuanjia" and "Chen Zhen" starring him are popular all over the mainland of the motherland.
Even the fat man and the stone will sing the theme song of Liang Xiaolong's "Chen Zhen---
Child, this is your home
The courtyard is tasteful
Simplicity shows the style
The tuba is Chinese......
Chen Tianlang was like an old Chinese medicine doctor who had become a fine doctor, and directly checked the pulse of the two.
Immediately, the two guys salivated and said, "Why don't you go? Since Boss Chen, you have to invite us to the movies, of course we have to do it!"
"Okay, I'll invite you to the movie, and you will have to pay for the food and drink at the cinema!"
"No problem! melon seeds, popcorn, apples, pineapples you can choose!" said the fat man, very heroically.
Also, the fat man has always been very heroic in eating, and for him, he can be treated badly, but he can't be badly treated.
Seeing that the two dead friends became happy, Chen Tianlang smiled and didn't speak.
In fact, Chen Tianlang watched this film no less than three times in his previous life. The first time was in the cinema, or the school organized to watch it, saying that you can receive patriotic education, learn the spirit of the Yang family to be loyal to the country and the people, and write after watching it.
Chen Tianlang remembered that what he wrote was to learn from Yang Wulang's spirit of sacrifice of enduring hardships and hardships, enduring humiliation, and preferring the end of the whole family for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty. The second and third times I watched the CD, and it was fast-forwarded, and I only watched the martial arts part inside.
The "Dongfanghong" cinema that screened "Wulang Bagua Stick" was on Meixi Street, which happened to be the territory of Chen Tianlang's rival Niu Hongqi.
However, Chen Tianlang is not afraid at all, what kind of year is this, reform and opening up, economic take-off, and although the construction of the legal system is not yet sound, it will not be possible to watch a movie and be sought revenge.
……
sang all the way, and was aroused by Chen Tianlang The fat man and the stone, sang "The Tuba is China", and walked directly to the Dongfanghong Cinema.
Then again, the business of cinemas in this era is "embarrassing". Why use this word to describe it, because before the popularity of television, that is, in the eighties, the business of movie theaters can only be described as hot, even if a ticket was a few cents at that time, and slowly rose to one dollar, two dollars, there are still many people who like to patronize. For example, "Shaolin Temple", "Shaolin Kid", "North and South Shaolin" and so on were all so popular.
In those days, the TV was still a very luxurious household appliance, few people could afford it, and there was nothing to entertain in the nightlife, except for playing cards, it was to make children in bed, so movies became an entertainment item that many people hoped for and longed for as soon as they appeared. Every night, as long as you say that you go to the movies, you can envy the dead, and it can be said that watching movies is definitely a super "high" thing in the eighties.
But with the advent of the 90s, the popularity of television, coupled with the broadcast of excellent Hong Kong TV dramas such as "SH Beach", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "Smiling Proud Jianghu", allowed countless audiences to sit directly at home and enjoy this film and television culture for free, without having to spend money to watch movies, making the business of movie theaters worse and worse.
Also, in addition to the excessively high ticket price, which costs two yuan for a ticket, the movies produced by domestic films in this era are so bad that they don't even dare to compliment. Especially the martial arts films that the audience likes the most, the level of martial arts design, such as "Baling Thief", "Golden Dart Huang Tianba" and the like, the viewing is not even comparable to Hong Kong martial arts TV series, how can it be attractive. As a result, cinemas often only sell out a large number of Hong Kong kung fu movies or martial arts films when they are screened, for example, tonight's "Wulang Bagua Stick" is very good, and people fly around and the martial arts design is very lively, especially starring "Chen Zhen" Liang Xiaolong, and there are more people watching this drama.
As one of the three old cinemas in Nandu, Dongfanghong Cinema is as famous as the Cultural Palace Cinema near Minzhu Street and the Workers' Cinema on Zhongzhou Road.
Today, on the mottled and dilapidated walls of the Dongfanghong Cinema, there are still huge political slogans: Do a good job in the cultural life of the masses and do a good job in film propaganda. Immediately below the big slogan, a very conspicuous arrow was drawn, marking: Turn right at the toilet.
In addition to these political slogans and propaganda slogans, the most eye-catching thing in the cinema is the colorful movie posters.
Chen Tianlang glanced at it, most of them were domestic, and there was even a big poster of Director Zhang Da's "The Red Lantern Hangs High".
In this era, many people do not have the consciousness of collecting movie posters, and no one knows that posters like this on the wall will become valuable in the next 20 years, especially this "Red Lantern" can even be sold for 2,000 yuan in good condition.
But in this era, no one pays attention to them, just treats them as accessories to the movie, and a big man holding a child in front of him even blew his nose very manly, and then wiped a lot of snot on this big poster......
Because tonight's movie is good, there are many more people watching the movie than usual, and there is already a long queue outside the movie theater, waiting to enter with tickets in hand.
Look at the ticket gate, a large movie poster is also posted, Yang Wulang played by Liang Xiaolong is holding a Shaolin stick on the poster, heroic and compelling, next to some Liao soldiers wearing mink tail hats, among which the big villain Xiao Tianzuo protects the Queen Mother Liao and hides in the shadows, which looks very unorthodox and bright.
Chen Tianlang had already bought tickets in advance, so he didn't have to queue up, so Guo Fatzi automatically went to buy food. Around the movie theater, the hawkers who heard the wind had already set up stalls, selling melon seeds, fruits, drinks, corn on the cob, bamboo dumplings, and marshmallows---
As a serious foodie, the fat man will not consider the appetite of Chen Tianlang and the others, and when he goes to those stalls, he chooses what he likes to eat, and he has to eat stinky tofu at a stall.
Chen Tianlang leaned on the street lamp to smoke, Wang Shishi saw that Chen Tianlang had been holding the cigarette and was distracted, and asked out loud: "The video game city surnamed Niu is about to open, you won't really be unprepared, right?"
Chen Tianlang held his cigarette, pointed to the crowd waiting to enter the movie and said, "Will there be as many people who come here to play arcade as there are people who watch Liang Xiaolong's movies?"
Wang Shishi scratched his hair and said affirmatively: "There are more people than watching movies." Nowadays, movies are sluggish, but arcade games are booming. Two dollars for a movie ticket, you can only watch one play, two dollars but twenty game coins, you can play well for a whole day. If you have good luck, you can play gambling machines again, and you can still win a lot of money, you say, which is better?"
Chen Tianlang stretched out his hand and patted Wang Shishi's head, and said, "People call you stone, I see that your head is not a stone, nor is it an elm pimple, you are very smart." Since the game halls here are more profitable than the movie theaters, what do you think would happen if we brought these eight game halls over?"
Wang Shishi's eyes immediately widened, and his eyes were full of surprise: "Boss, you're not kidding me, are you......?" Grab the territory of the bull red flag?" After speaking, he looked around in fear, for fear of being heard by others.
You must know that Niu Hongqi has dominated Meixi Street for many years, and it can be said that it is deeply rooted here, not to mention the hot fight with the Meixi Police Station in this area, and even the other bigwigs around him have a very good relationship with him.
For example, Ding Qi of Democracy Street, Bai Gang of Zhongzhou Road, etc., Niu Hongqi never takes the initiative to provoke these people, on the contrary, every time there is a New Year's holiday, even if there is a red and white wedding event in the big man's family, he runs fast, gift money is indispensable, and it is still a big red envelope.
Such an interesting person even makes people wonder how he could be the pig killer's boy, but this is the truth, Niu Hongqi is so mixed up in this Meixi Street where every inch of land is expensive, and others can't insert a needle if they want to.
With a character like this, Chen Tianlang dared to count the eight game halls on other people's turf, and it was estimated that he would be laughed at to death if he said it.
If you can do it, the devil will believe it!
"What do you mean by robbery? It's so ugly, your boss and I are not robbers. I mean, get it, go through the legal process through the right and bright way, of course, maybe the cost will be a little higher. Chen Tianlang took a puff of cigarette, he didn't plan to say the calculation in his heart, because there was no need, even if he did, the seventeen-year-old Wang Shishi would not understand, on the contrary, he might persuade himself to stop.
"Chen Tianlang?" A female voice sounded from the opposite side of the two, Chen Tianlang raised his head and saw two slender girls standing opposite, almost tall, one was extremely beautiful, and the other was ordinary, both Chen Tianlang knew each other, one was Kong Yueyuan, and the other turned out to be Xia Qing. And the person who called Chen Tianlang's name just now was Xia Qing.
How are these two chicks together?
Chen Tianlang was surprised.
You know, through the observation of Chen Tianlang, he found that Kong Yueyuan was very uninterested in Xia Qing, although the two were at the same table, but Xia Qing had always muttered to her, but Kong Yueyuan ignored it, the two of them were cold and hot, no matter how they looked at it, they couldn't pinch together like mud, but now they appeared here side by side at the same time, and they seemed to be very close, how could this not make Chen Tianlang feel surprised.
