After sending Shen Zhong away, Wang Xiaohu saw that it was not early, and the surname Suo drove home, his butt had not yet sat on the hot sofa, and Zhao Gang, who was dressed in a black suit and a standard bodyguard, came over to ask for leave. [Full text reading]

"Lao Wang, I'll take a few days off."

"Leave?" Wang Xiaohu frowned, and said half-jokingly: "Is it that the flower world in Hong Kong has shaken your mortal heart, and you plan to make a few beautiful sisters?" ”

Zhao Gang's expression was embarrassed when he heard this, and he scolded with a smile: "you, Lao Tzu is also a party member, how can this sugar-coated cannonball shake me?" ”

"You're almost forty years old, are you going to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?" Wang Xiaohu continued to tease.

Zhao Gang couldn't figure it out about this matter, so he simply said, "I'm going to carry out the mission." ”

It turned out that President Xu had recently made high-profile visits to various communities and political circles in Hong Kong, and he was concerned about his safety, and Yanjing wanted Zhao Gang and others to protect his safety work.

As soon as Zhao Gang's words fell, Wang Xiaohu suddenly glared, pointed at Zhao Gang and said: "Damn, you are Lao Tzu's bodyguards, you eat Lao Tzu and live in Lao Tzu, and you still have a lot of salary, you actually went to do private work, and you opened your mouth!" ”

"This" Zhao Gang was at a loss, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Lao Wang is right, the three of them came to be personal bodyguards, and now they are making up this matter, to be honest, Zhao Gang was also embarrassed for a long time before he opened his mouth cheekily.

Seeing Zhao Gang's blushing, Wang Xiaohu sighed, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, go on, the security in Hong Kong may be chaotic recently, you'd better bring a few more people." ”

"No need, no matter how chaotic Hong Kong's law and order is, can it be compared to the battlefield?" Zhao Gang felt that Wang Xiaohu was a little alarmist, shook his head and said, "Zhang Yun, Guo Peng, and dozens of people on President Xu's side should be able to deal with it." ”

Wang Xiaohu sneered and said nothing, anyone who has been on the battlefield and can come back alive is very bold, there is a way that it is better to learn martial arts for ten years than to fight a battle, even if a timid person has been on the battlefield, he is used to seeing life and death, and when he returns to the era of peace, his courage will become fat.

Zhao Gang and the others are all people who have been baptized by war, and they are the personal bodyguards of national leaders, so they naturally have this kind of self-confidence and arrogance.

How did they know that Hong Kong's underground order was about to face a reshuffle, and if they knew in advance, they would definitely control it, but would the underworld elements who had long been red-eyed by interests and had been waiting for many years be willing to listen to them?

On July 1, the day after Youde returned to the UK, the British capital and Chinese mainland simultaneously issued a communiqué announcing that the second phase of negotiations on Hong Kong's future would be held on July 12.

The head of the British delegation was British Ambassador to China Kolida, and the head of the Chinese delegation was Deputy Foreign Minister Yao Guang.

On July 3, Hong Kong Huidian Co., Ltd. organized a press conference. (A company registered by a group of young college students.) The person in charge of the company pointed out that there is no basis for insisting that 'Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong' is not feasible.

The company's press conference was mainly in response to the student union of the Chinese University of Hong Kong on June 11: "It is too early to talk about the infeasibility of Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong now." ”

To this end, the exchange point organized major schools in Hong Kong to jointly nominate the proposal of "Hong Kong people to cook Hong Kong rule of law in Hong Kong" and submit it to the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency.

On July 4, the British capital issued another statement: reaffirming the British political axe's commitment to Hong Kong and looking for an arrangement acceptable to the three parties: Britain, China and Hong Kong.

The citizens of Hong Kong can see that although they do not admit it, the British are not as confident as they were in previous decades.

On July 5, the long-awaited trailer for the ultimate version of "Ip Man 2" was released in Hong Kong.

The trailer for the Ultimate Edition is longer than the previous two versions, with more characters, dialogues, and scenes, such as the Hung Fist with a hard bridge and a hard horse, the Wing Chun Fist as fast as a bullet, and the powerful Western Fist.

"Wu Yao Huaxia, touching people's hearts!"

"Continuing the legendary life of a martial arts master."

"Recreate the indomitable spirit of Hong Kong in the 50s!"

"Stick to the principles of martial arts and embark on the path of the grandmaster!"

"On July 15th, it will premiere in the world!"

The sensational and anticipated propaganda slogan, through five or six clips, shows the struggle between Chinese, the cultural collision between Chinese and foreign cultures, and the helplessness between Hong Kong people, which is particularly compact in the 3-minute trailer.

Especially the last shot of the trailer made Yu Yongjian stunned, because he saw the "fogged" Lion Rock.

"Wonderful! Wang Xiaohu's handling of this shot is so wonderful! Yu Yongjian sat in front of the TV and muttered excitedly: "The atomized Lion Rock hits the nail on the head to illustrate the future of Hong Kong, and he deserves to be the most powerful director in Hong Kong films." ”

Yu Yongjian once specialized in the study of several movies shot by Wang Xiaohu, and found that every movie shot in recent years has been painstaking, and it is also decided after the fact, and the market and the general environment are just right.

For example, seven years ago, "Shocking", although the film was not completed, it saved Chinese mainland from a human tragedy.

For example, the later release of "Police Story" coincided with the storm of clean government, and for example, "Mythology" skillfully used the terracotta warriors and horses to set off an oriental cultural boom, and the release of "Shaolin Temple" not only achieved a good box office in the mainland, but even grafted Shaolin boxing to open up the market of Yueben, not to mention that "Mulan" won the Cannes crown.

After a comprehensive review, Yu Yongjian threw himself into the ground for Wang Xiaohu's admiration.

"Hey, it's just that I have to wait another 10 days to see "Ip Man 2" released, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, I really hope I can see it now!"

Millions of Hong Kong citizens are just as anxious as Yu Yongjian, and having them wait for 10 days is almost killing them

On the morning of July 6, in a park near Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon, Hong Kong, a filming crew was forced to collect protection money by the underworld.

More than a dozen crew members were injured by the underworld, all filming equipment was destroyed, and the police arrived at the scene of the crime and arrested two suspects.

Also on July 6, almost all the film and television crews filming on location in Hong Kong were harassed by the triad to varying degrees, and according to the recollections of the frightened crew, at least three associations came to collect protection fees, and the amount of protection fees collected exceeded 1,000 Hong Kong dollars.

"This group of scumbags, don't let us film!" The crew said angrily in front of the TVB TV interview camera: "We just gave it to one, and immediately came to another gang to collect it, and I paid more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars in protection money today!" ”

"If we don't pay protection money, the crew won't want to start the film, they threatened to make us disappear tomorrow, it's too arrogant!"

That night, almost all of Hong Kong's two major television stations were occupied by news of forced protection money.

For a time, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was in turmoil.

After reading the news, Wang Xiaohu grabbed the phone and called Shen Zhong: "Lao Dou, it seems that what you said has come true." ”

Shen Zhong smiled on the phone: "I guess they will have to attack Concord soon." ”

Wang Xiaohu said indifferently: "Hehe, I'm always ready, Sanmao and they haven't fought for more than ten years, but I feel that the current momentum is not enough, are you considering fanning the fire and pouring oil on it?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll pour oil today." Shen Zhong said.

It turns out that the incident of forced collection of protection money reported in the news today is also the handwriting of Shen Zhong.

Wang Xiaohu shook his head and smiled bitterly, anyway, several major underworld organizations want to forcibly meddle in the entertainment industry, and it is really difficult to start if they don't muddy this pool of clear water.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiaohu's home welcomed fifteen or sixteen guests, including Wang Jing, Lin Lingdong, Xu Anhua and other cutting-edge directors, who followed behind Sammo Hung, Tsui Hark, and Jackie Chan.

"What's going on?" Wang Xiaohu asked puzzled.

"Ah Hu, they're here to find you." Sammo Hung smiled bitterly and said, "For the sake of the protection fee." ”

"Oh." Wang Xiaohu nodded, he had long expected that someone would come to him, after all, only a few companies under Concord International had not been forcibly charged protection money by the underworld.

But if there is no now, it does not mean that there will be no in the future, maybe after tonight, the crews of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Tsui Hark, Xu Guanwen and others will be patronized by the underworld.

You must know that although the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts can fight, the number of people united by several major underworlds is also more than 100,000, and they definitely do not have the slightest advantage in numbers.

So Wang Xiaohu sighed and said to Wang Jing, Lin Lingdong and others: "Can you solve the problem by looking for me?" You should go to the Hong Kong police. ”

Wang Jing's eyebrows were bandaged, and she said very indignantly: "Brother Hu, we have approached the police and wanted to pay them to protect the location set, but the police refused on the grounds that the number of personnel was insufficient. ”

"What the police can't handle, can I do it?" Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows.

"Of course you're different, who doesn't know you were on Temple Street back then"

Wang Jing's mouth is very capable, and a bunch of sycophants have not yet been filmed, Wang Xiaohu stopped him and said, "Jingzai, you should find Uncle Shao Liu." ”

"Uncle Sixth asked me to come to you." Wang Jing said with a bitter face: "Brother Tiger, help, "The Frog Prince" is being filmed, all copies were snatched away by the gang of horses from Hong Xingshe, and I was beaten like this."

Wang Jing cried with a handful of snot and tears about how she was forced by the underworld, and several other directors also interjected to add, only describing the underworld as a heinous existence.

"It's okay to get me out, but you'll have to cooperate with us in the rest of the work." Wang Xiaohu groaned.

On 7 July, Youde returned to Hong Kong and announced at a press conference that he would represent all Hong Kong citizens in the second round of Sino-British negotiations in his capacity as Governor of Hong Kong. He also repeated the communiqué issued by the British Foreign Office at the end of last month, pointing out that the newspaper's remark that the British government axe gave up sovereignty over Hong Kong was all rumors and speculation.

Hong Kong Governor Youde had just finished his press conference when he heard the commotion outside.

"Let's go out and see what's going on?" Youde asked, frowning.

After a while, the staff ran back and said, "Sir, Wang Xiaohu led a group of people from the film and television industry to protest." ”
