Chapter 297: Huge Hidden Danger (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Young Master Li was thoroughly disgusted!

After watching the film, he immediately used his connections, wanting to ban this movie.

But this time, he hit a wall.

This movie was not something that could be banned just because he wanted it to be.

As for rules and the like, to Young Master Li and the connections he solicited, they naturally counted for nothing.

But the problem was, the production company behind this film was not so easily suppressed.

Every first-rate triad in Hong Kong was a producer of this film!

In other words, to ban this film was to directly offend every first-rate triad in Hong Kong.

Not to mention others, even the top brass of the police force would feel a chill in their hearts!

Another factor was that this film belonged to the hottest film and television resources of the recent period.

To put it plainly, this film had sparked a wave of viewership, and its social influence was immense.

There was no other reason; the content inside was too easy to make people's imaginations run wild.

Damn it, this was a direct jab at Young Master Li and even the Li family.

Not only did the audience find it very satisfying, but the media and newspapers were as lively as if it were a festival.

Centering on the film's content and the surrounding gossip, numerous newspapers and media outlets published reports one after another; sales even increased significantly, and the public opinion ripples caused were enormous.

In other words, during the film's screening period, the number of people and newspapers paying attention was extremely high.

To attempt a ban at this time was simply like splashing cold water into a hot wok; it would absolutely cause a huge stir.

What was most fatal was that if a massive wave of public opinion emerged, it would not be easily suppressed.

If things went wrong, the forces that took action to ban it would be "dug up" and suffer.

Young Master Li was quite dissatisfied, yet it was not easy to make too much of a fuss.

If he made too much of a scene, it would seem as if he were petty and lacked any capacity for tolerance.

But this matter was truly too disgusting.

At the same time, he was quite unhappy with the various triad Dragon Heads and bosses: was there any need to be so insulting?

However, he could not use his connections to trouble these triads just because of one movie.

The police officers and government workers doing the work also had to consider the risks.

At the very least, at this moment, Young Master Li was not yet qualified to treat the Dragon Heads of first-rate triads like chamber pots.

In that case, he could only torment the film's director first.

As for whether the director was wronged or not, it wasn't up to him to say!

In short, ever since the rush-produced film "Shocking Kidnapping Case" became a hit, the director, Mak Tong-hung, frequently ran into bad luck and was often invited to the police station for tea for various reasons.

The frequency with which he was invited to the police station for tea was inversely proportional to Young Master Li's recent mood.

The legal fees alone were not a small sum!

Fortunately, the various Dragon Heads and bosses had no intention of screwing him over and let Mak Tong-hung keep most of the box office revenue from "Shocking Kidnapping Case," otherwise he would have definitely suffered heavy losses this time.

And this matter was circulated in the film and television industry as entertainment gossip.

Regardless, Mak Tong-hung was a big director with a track record. Being tormented for no reason naturally triggered the curiosity and investigation of his peers, and the news spread just like that.

The film and television circle was watched closely by paparazzi; any slight disturbance would be published in the newspapers.

This matter was no exception, though when the entertainment newspapers reported it, they still held some reservations and spoke quite cryptically. But any reader who had seen the movie could understand.

It was very obvious that this was the young master of the richest man feeling offended, which was why he had done such a thing!

This matter suddenly became a topic of street gossip.

Young Master Li became even more depressed, as if everyone he looked at was mocking him.

It could only be said that he was still too young and did not see the risks involved.

Li Bancheng naturally heard the rumors and had also watched the movie.

It had to be said that the film was shot well, and the plot was tight and very engaging.

Especially the plot regarding that Red Mansion who had been kidnapped; it was told too well.

Even though they were old acquaintances, he felt that the man's way of thinking was too bizarre.

To earn so much money, wasn't it meant to be spent on oneself?

To be so stingy even with oneself was simply bizarre to the extreme.

But the film's popularity brought about no small hidden danger!

Hong Kong had the Kowloon Walled City, where all sorts of people were mixed together, and there was no shortage of "Big Circle Boys" who wanted to "get rich overnight" but were in extremely poor circumstances!

If any Big Circle Boys learned the tricks from the movie, that would be terrible.

But this was only a worry; since it hadn't happened yet, it wasn't easy to bring it up as an issue.

Regarding the film, he was certainly quite angry, but it was not easy to lash out.

If it were just one or two individual triads, he could easily handle them without any problem.

As one of the top real estate tycoons in Hong Kong, whatever he let slip through his fingers was enough for numerous triads to fight over to fill their stomachs; no triad dared not give him face.

But the producers of this film included all the first-rate triads in Hong Kong, so he dared not act rashly.

Clearly, his previous obstruction of the various triads' discount promotional activities, as well as the earlier ban on lottery activities, had incurred the public wrath of the triads.

As mentioned earlier, precisely because there were many triads in Hong Kong with different agendas and they could not form a united front, the top Chinese tycoons could easily handle them.

But if the first-rate triads of Hong Kong worked together, they would not dare to act recklessly.

To put it plainly, it was a case of fine china not colliding with earthenware pots!

Li Bancheng warned Young Master Li to be a bit more careful.

Young Master Li agreed on the surface, but turned around and threw it to the back of his mind.

He simply did not believe that anyone would dare to make a move against him in Hong Kong!

Or perhaps, he had considerable trust in the strength of his own bodyguards.

In reality, Li Bancheng was not the only one who felt a sense of danger after watching the movie.

Many wealthy people in Hong Kong developed a clear sense of crisis after watching the movie.

It was not just the formidable Big Circle Boys that were feared; anyone who harbored such intentions could potentially turn into a kidnapper.

They might find it difficult to target top-tier tycoons, but if they aimed at ordinary wealthy people, they would basically succeed with every attempt.

There was not even a need for those fierce men to take action; if a few street thugs operated well, they could also accomplish many things, at the very least they were very familiar with the local scene and might know quite a few wealthy people.

There are many wealthy people here in Hong Kong, and the number of poor people is even greater!

The trend of worshiping money is particularly prevalent; if they could "get rich overnight," many ordinary citizens would not even hesitate to take a risk, and they would not care about any consequences.

This time, numerous society Dragon Heads and chairmen joined forces to give the Li family a nasty shock.

The effect was quite obvious, at the very least it made the Li family, especially the Young Master Li, show his face in quite a way.

The anger in their hearts certainly could not be completely dissipated, but it was barely acceptable.

Next, they would wait for the Li family's possible reaction, while also testing the waters to restart the discount promotional activities; how could they easily give up a legitimate business with profits?

After all the tossing and turning, in the end, it was still for tangible benefits!
