Chapter 498

Hong Kong gangsters cannot be avoided when Hong Kong movies are mentioned. This is not only because many Hong Kong movies feature gangster films, but also because Hong Kong film companies have gangsters behind them.

The film industry is very suitable for money laundering. For example, some war films and some action blockbusters need to produce some very realistic scenes. Many scenes are directly burned, blown up or used once and then they are not used. The cost is really what they want. Say as much as you want.

The other one is star remuneration, what they got may not be as much as stated in the contract, but the gangster pointed a gun at him, and he had to say that he received it if he didn't receive it.

Money laundering is a long-term process, because film shooting needs to face a series of complicated situations, so a special film company is needed to serve, so that the money can be whitened and legalized through legal channels.

Some people make movies and don’t care how bad the movies they make are. They are mainly for money laundering, so people say that there are many bad Chinese dramas, right? There must be more, otherwise how can money laundering be done.

The investment of a film is huge, hundreds of millions or billions at every turn, the production cost is huge, and there is also a huge room for false reporting, so there is a huge room for maneuvering.

Also, movies belong to the cultural industry, so the taxation is relatively low. Behind the colorful lights on the silver screen, there is darkness everywhere, just like the projection hall of a movie theater. Darkness and light coexist in one room. In a projection hall, Pomona found her The target, the horse still wearing colorful clothes, is reined.

He was the only one in this old Victorian-style auditorium, and members of Hongmen were guarding the door, as if he was the "king" of this "country".

There is a shot on the silver screen, two men meet on the roof, one looks like a successful person, the other has a bearded face, looks very down, like a street gangster.

"Why did you ask to meet here?" Pomona asked standing at the door.

"Dating girls must be in public." He stared at the screen without looking back, "Do you know what this show is called?"

"No." she replied.

"This film is called Infernal Affairs. In the nineteenth volume of the Nirvana Sutra, it is said that the most of the eight hells is called the Infernal Hell. The Lotus Sutra also calls it the Avici Hell. People who fall into the Infernal Hell will continue for tens of thousands of kalpas. , there is no release date, both of them are police officers, and both of them are undercover agents."

"What?" Pomona asked confused.

"One is an undercover agent from the police, and the other is an undercover agent from a gangster. Who do you think they are?"

Pomona looked at the two people, the one who got along well was dressed in the same decent clothes as the two gangsters guarding the door, the one who didn't get along well was completely destitute but insisted on meeting on the rooftop, the movie lines with Chinese and English subtitles said He has nothing to hide.

"Why does Tiaozi always make people so miserable?" She said in broken Mandarin, and Ma Youxuan immediately laughed, and the faces of the two gangsters at the door also smiled.

"Do you know what'tiaozi' is?" Ma Youxuan turned to look at her, as if he thought it was interesting for a "foreigner" to understand this.

"I want to watch a movie too. Is this movie good?" She calmly walked into the auditorium and walked to Ma Youxuan's side. "Oh, why don't you eat popcorn when you watch a movie?"

"Infernal Affairs is not a popcorn movie." Ma Youxuan said with a faint smile, "This is the life of two men, come and sit and watch it with me."

The horse reined in and patted the seat beside him, but Pomona didn't go over.

"I'm married, you shouldn't be dating a married woman."

"Your husband allows you to be alone with me."

"In public!"

"The movie theater is also a public place."

"Everyone knows that men like to touch their hands when they watch movies, so I won't be fooled."

The horse reined in and was speechless.

"Your husband is a very interesting person." Ma Youxuan said blankly, "And you, it seems that you are not so interesting."

"Why did the police undercover meet the gang undercover on the rooftop?" Pomona looked at the silver screen. They were making a deal. The gang undercover asked the police undercover to provide information and tell him the location of the next drug deal.

Why don't gang members tell their undercover agents? They are "our own people".

"The boss of the undercover police officer died and fell from the roof. I heard that in your wizarding world, a great man was killed by his disciples. He seems to be an undercover agent. Did the white wizard kill him before he died? Tell others about the undercover matter?"

"No," said Pomona quietly. "He didn't."

"The policeman's undercover name was A Ren, and the gangster's undercover name was A Ming. After the death of A Ren's boss, no one knew that he was an undercover agent. He was about to collapse at that time. Huang Zhicheng didn't want to die on purpose, but the principal did. He wanted to die, did he deliberately not tell anyone the identity of the undercover agent, let me think about it, Severus Snape?"

"How do I know that?"

"If it was intentional, then he just wanted the undercover to die, and the undercover in his hands is just a pawn." Ma Youxuan looked at the silver screen and said, "Good people are easy to be manipulated as pawns, do you want to be a pawn?"

As a chess piece, you don't have to think for yourself, just follow the instructions step by step. This way of life will be easier, but people who play chess will be much more tired.

Ma Youxuan wanted to be a chess player, but he didn't choose Hong Kong to play chess, but ran to the square inch of Chinatown in London. Why?

"Don't you want to go back to China?" Pomona asked, and Zhang Tao really wanted to go back to China. Although he didn't say it, she could feel it.

"Why go back? I don't have a home anymore." Ma Youxuan said deeply and tiredly, "Hongmen is my home."

"You shouldn't," Pomona advised. "I know a man who considers Death Eaters his family..."

"You are so brave." Ma Youxuan interrupted him loudly, "They are my brothers, what do you know about a woman?"

How do you know there are no undercover agents among your 'brothers'. How do you know they won't betray you?

Pomona wanted to ask that question, but she couldn't continue the conversation if she said it.

Gangsters don't know how to be civilized and polite. Their life is fighting and killing.

Women are accessories in men's dramas. A woman who can keep her mouth shut is more likable than a woman who can speak well.

"Are there werewolves in China?" Pomona asked. "Do you know how to deal with them?"

"You are not cute at all." Ma Youxuan regained his composure and said coldly.

"I'm here to talk to you about things, not to fall in love with you. Why should I please you?" She also said coldly.

He lit a cigarette and puffed in a smoke-free movie theater filled with flammable materials.

"What do you want?" Pomona asked for a while.

"There is a saying in China that do as the Romans do. In my country, respect is given, but in this place, respect is earned. In the past, blacks gained power by marching and fighting. This is your culture. , isn’t it?” Ma Youxuan said sarcastically, “We are now fighting for our legal rights according to your rules.”

"You don't have the attitude to talk about things at all."

"I'm dating you, who's talking to you about things."

The two gangsters at the door laughed out loud, and she felt the malice.

"How about we go to Chinatown during the Lantern Festival?" Pomona said pertinently.

"You are only allowed to come alone."

"That's not okay, I want to bring some friends. Your job is to protect the residents of the city, but you have received protection fees." Pomona shook her fist at him, "You are nothing but gangsters who take money and do nothing!"

The purpose of the establishment of the Hongmen is to resist the persecution rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and preserve the culture of the Han nationality. Consciousness, cannot be so strong.

International students don't deal with Hongmen, because they are "triads" and they are all bad.

Well-behaved students with good grades are often very obedient and have a bright future. Those with poor grades are not as good as them. If they want to struggle to survive, they have to "rebel".

The life of fighting and killing is unstable, but if you want to be respected, you have to fight for it. Demonstrations, fights and fights, you can't get sympathy and pity from others just by shedding two tears like in China.

Just as they were confronting each other, the sound of Scottish bagpipes sounded in the cinema, which was played at the funeral of "Aren"'s immediate boss Huang Sir.

He hid in the corner and peeked, and silently gave a military salute to Huang Sir.

Looking at him, Pomona suddenly had an idea, was Severus the same as "Jen" at Albus Dumbledore's funeral?

"It's a good movie," Pomona said. "How about we start from the beginning?"

"You won't understand." Ma Youxuan said coldly.

"Not necessarily." Pomona sat down far away from him.

She was married to an undercover agent, how could she not know what it was like to be an undercover agent?
