Chapter 259 Empty Copper Seal

"Seventh Brother, it's me, Qin Tianjiu.

Qin Tianjiu, Qin Xiaopang, and Ma Wu had met once before. He remembered Ma Wu and recognized Ma Wu.

Ma Wu remembered Qin Xiaopang, but he really didn't recognize him.

When he first saw Qin Tianjiu, the little fat guy was about 1.7 meters tall and weighed about 170 kilograms.

Now the young man in front of him is still about 1.7 meters tall and may not weigh more than 90 kilograms. His figure and appearance have changed. Because he is so thin, even his voice has changed.

Not to mention that Ma Wu couldn't recognize him, even Li Banfeng didn't recognize him.

After Xiaopang explained his identity, he also told him the purpose of his visit.

No matter what, he would not hide it from Li Banfeng.

Qin Tianjiu ate intestines After the silkworm, his daily food intake increased dramatically, and he was promoted continuously in half a year, becoming a third-level cultivator. The Sanyingmen regarded him as a talented person and promoted him to a bronze seal.

In fact, the so-called special promotion did not give Xiaopang much advantage. In the Sanyingmen, the first and second levels are iron seals, and the third and fourth levels are bronze seals. This has been the rule for many years.

The reason why Xiaopang is not suitable to be a bronze seal is mainly because of his lack of experience. He is 21 years old this year, which is obviously not enough. Among the bronze seals he is familiar with, none is under 40 years old.

Besides, he has not been in the gang for a long time, less than a year at most, while other bronze seals have been in the gang for at least ten or twenty years.

In his situation, it would be difficult for him to become a bronze seal. It is also difficult to convince the public, especially in a relatively traditional area like Yaowanggou. If Xiaopang really became a copper seal, the gang would definitely be in trouble.

Sanyingmen simply transferred Qin Tianjiu to Lushui City and made him an empty copper seal.

What is an empty copper seal?

It means only giving status but not territory.

In Sanyingmen, a copper seal can be in charge of the territory of several streets, and the businessmen on these territories have to pay bonuses to the copper seal.

But the empty copper seal has no territory, which means they have no income. Qin Tianjiu and his brothers' food and drink expenses are all subsidized by the gang.

Isn't this good? It's like someone is paying you a salary.

In fact, this is not good.

Being a brother in Sanyingmen is a life of blood and knife, and you risk your life. Who doesn't want to live a good life after going out?

But Xiaopang's life is not good. Although he is called a copper seal, the money he earns is not as much as an iron seal, and he is not much better than ordinary gang disciples.

But Xiaopang is very content. He knows that if his status rises quickly, he must pay such a price.

In addition to subsidies, the gang will also give Kongma copper seal some rewards, provided that he can complete some special tasks.

Today's task is very special. Qin Xiaopang came to Ma Wu's studio to provoke trouble under the order of Yinzhang.

"Seventh brother, I really didn't know that this movie was yours. If I knew, I couldn't come.

But since I'm here, it may not be a bad thing. You continue to shoot the movie, and leave the rest to me."

Li Banfeng said: "This is an order from your Yinzhang, what can you do?

Or you can make a connection and invite your Yinzhang to see if we can settle this matter. "

Qin Tianjiu said: "We must make an appointment, but now is not the time. I am familiar with Yinzhang's temperament and the ways of the gang. Just leave it to me.

There is one more thing that I need to discuss with Brother Qi. In the next few days, I will bring a few brothers to the studio. They may speak dirty words and sometimes make a move. You must ignore them and pretend that they don't exist. "

Li Banfeng nodded, and Ma Wu looked at Qin Xiaopang and said: "Brother Qin, it's been a short time since we last met, and you have changed a lot. "

"Fifth Master, there is another reason here. Now is not the time to talk. Let me finish the things in front of me, and then we will talk in detail. "

Qin Tianjiu and his men stayed on the studio, and Ma Wu continued to film.

Several people under him looked at Xiaopang together, not knowing what he meant.

A subordinate named Yue Shucai, a first-level civil servant, usually close to Xiaopang, lowered his voice and asked: "Brother Jiu, are we not going to do this business anymore?"

"Do it, just watch and do it first. "While speaking, Qin Tianjiu looked extremely serious, so Yue Shucai didn't dare to ask more and could only sit with Xiaopang.

At noon, the crew had lunch, and Ma Wu specially prepared meals for Xiaopang and others.

Yue Shucai really didn't understand, and asked again: "Brother Jiu, what does this mean? Do you want to eat or not?"

"Eat first, eat first and then talk about it."

Qin Xiaopang ate first, and everyone ate together. They were very nervous during the meal, and always felt that something was going to happen.

In the afternoon, Qin Tianjiu said to everyone: "You wait here, I'll go to Yinzhang."

Yue Shucai panicked: "Brother Jiu, is there something wrong? You can't leave the brothers here!"

"There is something wrong, how to deal with it depends on Yinzhang's instructions. I tell you, you are not allowed to leave without my order! "

Qin Xiaopang left, and the rest of the people were trembling with fear. They didn't dare to say a word until the crew finished work.

Qin Tianjiu really went to find Yinzhang.

Yinzhang Tan Jinle was listening to an opera in the private room of Qingyun Teahouse. When he heard that Xiaopang was coming, he sent away the idlers, held a tea bowl, half-lying on a chair and asked: "Have you finished the matter with Ma Wu?"

Qin Tianjiu shook his head and said: "I went to do it, but the matter is not finished."

"If it's not finished, what are you doing here?"

"I went there with my brothers and asked him to stop filming the play, but he didn't listen. I wanted to do it, but Ma Wu was not afraid. He said he would take over the fight and he would take the responsibility if something happened."

"Ouch, my temper is getting louder!" Tan Jinle said with a smile, "Okay, let's show him some color, smash all his things, and tell the brothers to be more careful with their actions and not kill anyone."

"Brother Jin, he said there is someone on the set, a special person."

"What special person? Isn't it just Zuo Wugang? Let him touch you and let me see if he has the courage."

"It's not Zuo Wugang he's talking about. Ma Wu said the Lu family is here."

Tan Jinle sat up suddenly and put the tea bowl on the table: "Who from the Lu family is here?"

"He didn't say it, and I didn't see it. I don't know whether what he said was true or not. I guessed that he was deceiving me. I thought about asking the brothers to take action directly to see if there is really a Lu family here. If there is... …”

"No!" Tan Jinle was anxious, "Why do you do anything? If the Lu family is really here, wouldn't it be too late?"

Qin Xiaopang lowered his head and said: "I don't dare to make the decision without authorization. I didn't ask you for instructions. This is a business that the gang ordered me to do. I have to do it. Otherwise, how can I gain a foothold in the gang in the future?" …”

"Who didn't let you do it? Just do it. You and your brothers squatted at Ma Wu's place. Don't do anything. Isn't it over just by watching?"

"Just looking at it?"

"Looking at what's going on, we have done our best. Do you really want to cause trouble for the Lu family?"

"Isn't it shameful to just watch without taking action?"

Tan Jinle frowned and said, "How can you call it embarrassing if you are too young to understand some things?

If you stand in front of Ma Wu, our Sanyingmen matter will be settled. As for how much it has been accomplished, it depends on how you say it.

I think you are doing a good job in this matter. If the head of the family feels that you are not doing well, he will at least give you a few words. If you really offend the Lu family, your life will be gone, and I will have to follow suit. "

Qin Tianjiu sighed and said, "Then I will take my brothers to guard it."

"Go ahead and scare them from time to time, but never do anything!"

Qin Tianjiu agreed and would bring someone with him the next day and stay on the set.

Seeing this group of evil people on the set, the actors were also frightened. Seeing them yelling and yelling around, many of them wanted to quit their jobs.

But after a few days, I got used to it, and that was it. They were making noises every day, which was quite scary, but I never saw them being serious.

The people in the crew are used to it, but outsiders don't know the inside story. They all heard that Sanyingmen was going to smash Ma Wu's place. When they saw the set, passersby walked around.

Zhou Changhong told Ling Miaoying: "Hurry up and shoot the movie. While Sanyingmen is holding Ma Wu back, the second part of "Blood Blade Detective" must be released first."

Ling Miaoying was up to par, and a month later, the second film was released.

On the day of the premiere, all major theaters in Green Water City were full.

There are people hired by Ling Miaoying to support the scene, and there are also many people who actually come to buy tickets to watch the movie.

Ling Miao Yingcao made a rough estimate and found that 80% of the seats was a bit reluctant, but 70% of the seats were definitely available.

This result is quite good. As long as we keep it up, the movie will definitely make a lot of money, and the status of Ling Family Pictures will also be established.

Unfortunately, this momentum could not be maintained. On the second day of release, the attendance was less than 60%.

On the third day, less than half of the seats were occupied.

In the following days, major theaters were sparsely populated, and almost no one went to watch the movie.

Zhou Changhong didn't understand very much. He went to the theater to watch one in person. As soon as the movie started, many viewers got up and left.

What does this mean?

You spent money on a movie ticket and then left without watching it?

There were two audience members who were well-dressed and seemed to have plenty of money. Zhou Changhong followed them and asked with a smile, "Why don't you watch it? I think it's pretty good."

"It's so beautiful. If I had known it, I wouldn't have come."

Zhou Changhong advised: "All the money has been spent, I won't suffer any loss if I watch it for a while."

The man waved his hand and said, "A movie ticket means nothing. The key is that this movie is fake."

"False?" Zhou Changhong was startled, "Where do you start talking about this?"

"Needless to say, just look at it for yourself. After looking at it for so long, the clothes are covering it tightly. What can you see? There is nothing real!"

Zhou Changhong was confused when he heard this. An audience member next to him said: "I bought the wrong ticket. The one we want to watch is "Blood Gun Detective". That is the real movie. This one is a fake. It is just a waste of time!"

"Blood Blade Detective" has become a fake.

Zhou Changhong sat in the cinema and watched the movie completely.

There is nothing wrong with the movie, Ling Miaoying put a lot of thought into it, and even if it were taken out of state, it would still be a superior film.

The problem isn't the movie, it's the people who watch the movie.

If there were no "Blood Spear Detective", "Blood Blade Detective" would maintain 60% of the seats, which would be absolutely fine.

But now these moviegoers don't come to see movies, they come to see blood and guns, and "Blood Blade Detective" is different from their expectations.

Let Ling Miaoying also transform and turn in the direction of Ma Wu?

no.

You can't do something as shameless as Ma Wu, otherwise the Ling family's reputation will be completely ruined.

Moreover, the movie made in that way was not what he wanted, and many subsequent things could not be advanced.

Zhou Changhong knew in his heart that there was no need to rush this matter. Ma Wu's movie couldn't be made. Once people forget about his dirty movie, things would go back to plan.

Ten days later, the second part of "Blood Gun Detective" was released.

Without doing much publicity, Ma Wu published a few news in newspapers and let the movie be released.

On the day of the premiere, Zhou Changhong didn't buy a seat ticket, so he bought a standing ticket.

He watched the movie to the end.

To be honest, he had seen enough of those impactful scenes, there were too many in other states.

But he really wanted to know one thing.

Who is the real murderer in this movie?

The story of this movie is not bad.

The story is not bad, and it is impactful. How can "Blood Blade Detective" compare?

Grand scenes?

Well-known actors?

Gorgeous shooting techniques?

Are these really important to the audience in the province?

Zhou Changhong's cheeks twitched.

How to stop "Blood Blade Detective"?

Should I go and smash the set myself?

PS: He won't be so impulsive, right?
