Zhou Yan and the others had finished lunch, and it was already close to four o'clock in the afternoon.
The two girls were really hungry. They ate a whole portion of claypot rice. Under normal circumstances, they would not eat so much.
Wang Zuxian has a large appetite, but in order to maintain his figure, he must control his diet.
Zhou Yan lost a lot of weight for the filming of "Space Traveler" and became smaller. Now that the filming is over, he is ready to gain weight again, so he eats more.
After finishing one portion of claypot rice, I also had two more tea eggs, one portion of beef brisket stew, and a large portion of fish balls.
Seeing Zhou Yan eating so much food, Chen Derong was dumbfounded, "How can you eat so much food."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I have started to gain weight recently, so eat more."
“I really envy you boys. If I eat a little more, the meat will grow on my body. After eating the claypot rice just now, I don’t need to eat anymore at night.”
"That means your energy consumption is relatively low."
"I'm the kind of person who can gain weight just by drinking cold water." Chen Derong curled his lips and asked about the itinerary for a while, "What are we going to do next?" Don’t you want to take a boat trip to Central?”
If Chen Derong was not here, Zhou Yan would really like to go shopping with Wang Zuxian again, but now that Chen Derong is such a big light bulb, it would be meaningless to go anywhere.
Wang Zuxian didn't seem to want to go shopping anymore. She thought for a while and said, "Let's go back to the hotel. I'm quite tired today. Go back and rest."
Listening to what Wang Zuxian said, Chen Derong She didn't insist anymore, she could only nod and said, "Okay."
......
The three of them had just returned to the hotel when they happened to meet Li Hong and Ana Shen hurriedly walking out. .
Seeing the two people in a hurry, Zhou Yan asked, "What are you doing?"
When the two saw Zhou Yan, the anxiety on their faces weakened a little. Li Hong approached Zhou Yan and whispered, "Mengfei and the others encountered an accident."
"What accident?"
"I don't know exactly what it was. Just now, the Mong Kok Police Department called and said that Mengfei and the others There was a conflict with another group of people, let’s go over now.”
“How many people are there in the conflict? Are there people on both sides fighting?”
"I originally wanted to ask, but the people from the police station asked me to come over and talk."
Zhou Yan frowned. He didn't know what was happening now, so they were a little passive.
After pondering for a moment, he asked again, "Does the police station know that we are the crew of "Time Travelers"?"
"Probably not yet."
Zhou Yan nodded, "You go and see what's going on first. If there's anything you can't figure out, call me as soon as possible."
After all, he was a celebrity and was not suitable for going to the police station, so he asked Li Hong and the others to go there first to explore the situation.
"Okay."
After Li Hong and the others got the news, they did not contact Zhou Yan immediately, thinking that they could avoid disturbing Zhou Yan, because they also knew that even if Zhou Yan Knowing this, Zhou Yan couldn't come forward.
It is better to wait for them to understand the situation first before reporting to Zhou Yan.
After Li Hong and the others left, Wang Zuxian comforted Zhou Yan and said, "Don't worry, third brother, since we have arrived at the police station, it means there is no big problem."
Wang Zuxian's words may sound strange at first. Ordinary people would think that if the matter reaches the police station, it will definitely be very troublesome.
But thinking about it on the other hand, since everyone has arrived at the police station, it proves that the matter is not too serious. If Mengfei and the others really encounter some local snakes, it is estimated that the call they receive now is not from the police station. , but from the hospital.
Although he still doesn’t understand the situation, Zhou Yan still feels that he is on the right side.
He knows all these people on the crew, especially Jiang Mengfei. Although this guy is usually careless, he is very civilized and polite. Under normal circumstances, he will not take the initiative to cause trouble.
Besides, since they are not familiar with the place in Xiangjiang, they should not take the initiative to cause trouble.
Seeing Wang Zuxian comforting himself, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "It's probably nothing, let's go up first."
After going upstairs, the three of them went back to their rooms.
As soon as Zhou Yan returned to the room, he first called his brother Zhou Hong.
After receiving a call from Zhou Yan, Zhou Hong smiled and said, "Have you finished filming the scene in Xiangjiang?"
"Well, it just ended yesterday."
"I'm just saying, otherwise you wouldn't have time to call me. Why did you call me?"
"Brother, do you know anyone in the police here in Xiangjiang?"
Hearing Zhou Yan's question, Zhou Hong said in a deep voice, "Why, are you in trouble in Xiangjiang?"
"Xiao Jiang and the others on the crew have encountered some trouble. We don't know what the situation is yet. I asked Li Hong and the others went to the police station. I'll call you first to see if you have any contacts here in case of emergency."
Zhou Hong was slightly relieved to hear that it was not Zhou Yan who was directly in trouble. , he has always felt that the security force around Zhou Yan is too weak. Zhou Yan often travels alone. If he encounters any trouble, it will not be easy to deal with.
"The situation in Xiangjiang is quite special, and our status is also quite special. Many things are difficult to come forward directly. But don't worry, ordinary small things can be settled. What you have to do now is to understand what happened specifically. I'm okay Help you arrange countermeasures."
Zhou Yan nodded, "I understand, now I am waiting for Li Hong and others to get back to me."
"Actually, since the police station gave me a message so soon. If you call me, the problem shouldn't be serious. At most, it will be a group fight, and no one will be killed."
From Zhou Hong's tone, it seems that as long as no one is killed, it is a trivial matter.
“I have been wondering whether I would encounter trouble when filming here in Xiangjiang. I didn’t expect that it would be smooth sailing during the filming. Giving them a holiday would cause problems.”
Zhou Hong smiled and said, "You go filming, who dares to touch you? Not to mention now, even ten years ago, no two hundred and fifty would have the courage. Well, you don't have to worry too much about this matter, I guess at most It’s just a waste of money. What you should be worried about now is whether this matter will have an impact on the movie.”
“Well, I’m thinking about that too.”
“Okay. , let’s not talk anymore, just wait for Xiao Li’s call. Contact me as soon as there is news.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan stared at it. The table pondered for a moment, and then found out the shooting plan for the next trip to Bei City to study.
He must be fully prepared. If Jiang Mengfei and the others are entangled in this incident, they must make personnel adjustments so as not to delay subsequent filming.
More than half an hour later, Zhou Yan's phone rang.
“Hello.”
“Director Zhou, it’s me.” Li Hong’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “We have arrived at the police station and met Mengfei and the others. Basically. The situation was like this. Mengfei and the others went to a nearby bar after lunch and had a conflict with another group of customers in the bar. Both parties got involved. "
"Who made the move first because of what? , which side is more seriously injured?”
"Someone from the group opposite came to harass Li Xiaoran. There was a verbal conflict at first, and then they started fighting. As for who made the move first, both sides disagreed. As for the injury...according to my observation, it was the main point on the opposite side."< br>
"Li Xiaoran went too?" Zhou Yan was a little surprised. He thought Li Xiaoran would stay in the room and play games during the holiday, but he didn't expect that she would run out to play with Jiang Mengfei and the others.
"Well, there is Liu Qing, we have two girls here."
Liu Qing is the actor who plays the heroine's best friend, a mainlander, and was also recommended by Yanjing Factory Came here.
Although she and Wang Zuxian act as best friends, they rarely get together.
Even among Zhou Yan's crew, there is a sense of division. Jiang Mengfei and others who were transferred from Chang'an Factory and are now in Zhou Yan's studio naturally have to be closer, and the other group is from Yanjing Factory.
These are two major factions. In addition to these two major factions, Wang Zuxian, Xu Guanwen and Chen Derong may also be considered to be the same faction.
Of course, the distribution is the distribution, there are just less private exchanges between the various groups, and there is no contradiction.
"Who else is on our side?"
"There are also Brother Liu, Zheng Tao, Wang Zuoxi and Xu Xiuxiang."
As soon as he heard the names of these people, Zhou Yan's mouth twitched. No wonder the opponent suffered a loss. These people here are all capable of beating.
Although Liu Qing is old and doesn't like to cause trouble, his force is explosive and he fights very fiercely.
The other three people, the shortest Zheng Tao, is only 1.75 meters tall, and he is tall and weighs 80 to 90 kilograms.
Not to mention Wang Zuoxi, who is half a head taller than Zhou Yan. He is a presence that cannot be ignored when walking on the street.
The key point is that Wang Zuoxi is not only talented, but also has special training. It is said that he has learned Tongbei Quan since he was a child, and later also practiced boxing and Sanda by himself.
With bare hands, four or five people wouldn't be able to get close to him.
“How many people are there on the other side?”
“Fifteen in total.”
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows. This lineup is really fierce, five against fifteen, and they still account for So cheap.
The other party also had trouble with his eyesight, so he dared to provoke them. "Ahem, what do the other party say now, and what do the police say?"
“The other party insists that we were the ones who made the move first and wants us to compensate and also wants Mengfei and the others to apologize. The police want us to negotiate first, and if we can negotiate well, we will solve it ourselves. If There are a lot of negotiations, so lock them all up."
Zhou Yan pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, you contact Tang Chen first and ask them to arrange a lawyer. Don't get involved in the negotiations. Let the lawyers do it."
"What's the bottom line here?"
"Since Mengfei and the others said that the other party made the move first, then ignore the other party's request. , and they also want them to pay for our medical expenses, and an apology is indispensable.”
"Uh...actually no one on our side was injured, but Brother Liu's clothes were torn."
"..."
Zhou Yan didn't expect that he was still uninjured, "Then Let them pay for their clothes.”
“Should I know the other person’s background first? One of them has been shouting that they won’t let us leave Xiangjiang if we don’t apologize. I’m worried...”< br>
“I know what you are worried about, and understanding is necessary, but no matter what the background of the other party is, our bottom line will not change.”
"Okay, I understand."
......
At Mong Kok Police Station, just after Li Hong hung up the phone, Ana Shen couldn't wait to ask, "What did Director Zhou say?"
"Director Zhou said, let the other party apologize... and also pay for Brother Liu's clothes. No matter what the other party's background is, the bottom line will remain the same."
An Yan couldn't help being speechless, he didn't expect Zhou Yan How can he be so protective of his shortcomings and so strong-willed.
"Looking at the other party's attitude, I shouldn't give up easily."
"It's not something we can worry about now. I'll contact Tomson to send a lawyer over, and the rest of the matter will be left to the lawyer. "
"Well, it's better to leave it to professionals. In fact, if we compare the number of people on both sides, we definitely have the advantage, but it depends on the injuries of both sides..."
Li Hong laughed, "It's okay. Mengfei and the others still know how to keep their hands. The most serious thing about the other party is that their nose is crooked and not even one of their front teeth is missing."
"This is still called staying. Hands... Fortunately, the opponent has no weapons."
Li Hong nodded. The most fortunate thing in this matter was that the other party was not armed. If someone was armed, the situation would be serious.
"I'll call Tomson. You go talk to the police and see if you can get some information about the other party. If the other party really has a background, the local police should know a little bit about it."
< br>"Okay."
......
Not long after Li Hong finished the call, Ana Shen came over after exploring the news.
Ana Shen's face was a little solemn, "That sir said that the other party seemed to be from some kind of club."
"Club? Could it be some kind of gang?"
"I didn't say it directly, but I guess it was. This means that the father of the person who was called the most fierce just now seems to be a wealthy local businessman in the catering business."
Hearing the news, Li Hong's expression became a little solemn, and he said to Xiangjiang. I don’t know much about the situation here, but I’ve heard some rumors before, related to local gangs.
If the other party is really a gang member, will he do anything outrageous again?
"Let's wait until the lawyer comes."
......
After another half an hour, the lawyer sent by Tomson came over.
Originally, Li Hong and others thought that after the lawyer came, they would argue with the other party, but what they did not expect was that as soon as the lawyer came, the other party actually gave in, and the leader apologized directly to Jiang Mengfei and the others. , even Liu Qing’s clothes were lost.
Even if the matter was over here, the people from the police station quickly sent them out.
The whole process was very fast, and neither Li Hong nor Shen Yan could react.
Obviously the other party was clamoring for so much advantage before, why did his attitude suddenly change 180 degrees? Is there something they don't know about? Or is it that the other party was scared because he saw the lawyer? Probably not.
But the matter was finally settled, and they did not suffer any loss, so everyone was in a good mood.
It was getting dark at this time, so everyone made an appointment to go to a restaurant near the hotel where they were staying, planning to have a meal before going back.
After having a meal for about two hours, they left the hotel with a full meal and were ready to walk back to the hotel.
But as soon as they left the hotel and walked less than a hundred meters, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the side, each holding a baseball bat in their hands, and stared blankly at Jiang Mengfei and the others.
Things happened so suddenly, and each opponent was holding a weapon. Jiang Mengfei and the others were hit several times before they could react.
The two girls were so frightened that they stood there for a few seconds before they remembered to shout "help".
The whole process lasted only twenty or thirty seconds. The group of people stopped fighting and ran away.
Two vans were parked on the side of the road. The people got into the van and ran away without a trace after a while.
Li Hong looked up to remember the other person's license plate number, but found that the license plates of the two cars were blocked.
After a few steps, Li Hong ran back and checked everyone's injuries.
Everyone else was fine, except Jiang Mengfei, who was covering his forearm and sweating profusely from the pain.
Jiang Mengfei gritted his teeth and said, "It hurt the bones."
Li Hong made a quick decision, "Brother Liu, Wang Zuoxi, you take Mengfei to the hospital, and the others will follow me back to the hotel."
As he said that, he gave his phone to Liu Qing, "Take your phone with you and contact him at any time."
"Do you want to call the police?" Shen Yan asked.
"I won't report it for now. I'll wait until I go back and ask Director Zhou."
......
Zhou Yan is currently in the room sorting out the papers for "Love Traveler" Li Hong called me immediately to tell me about the soundtrack and the police station.
He was relieved to hear that the matter was resolved.
Just when he was about to refill some water, there was a sudden knock on the door.
“Who?”
“We, Director Zhou.” Li Hong’s voice came from outside the door.
Zhou Yan walked over and opened the door, only to see Li Hong and Shen Yan standing at the door anxiously. Their hair was messy and their faces were flushed, as if they had encountered something urgent.
"What's wrong?"
"We just finished eating at a nearby restaurant. On the way back, a group of people suddenly rushed out and beat us up with baseball bats."
Zhou Yan frowned, "Are you injured?"
"Everyone else is fine. Mengfei's forearm should be broken to the bone. I have asked Brother Liu and Wang Zuoxi to take him to the hospital."< br>
“Where is the other person?”
"Run away, two vans, the license plates were covered."
As soon as Zhou Yan heard this, he knew that the other party had come prepared. No need to ask, they must be the same group of people Mengfei and the others met at the bar today. There is a connection.
Before, Li Hong and the others said that the other party's attitude had changed drastically, and Zhou Yan felt that something was wrong. Unexpectedly, he was thinking of revenge afterwards.
Zhou Yan couldn't help but blame himself. He was still not vigilant enough. He clearly felt something was wrong, but he was still careless and didn't take it seriously.
Fortunately, the other party only took a baseball bat. If he had taken a knife or something else, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Director Zhou, do you want to call the police?" Ana Shen asked.
Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "No need."
"Then this matter..."
"Don't worry about it anymore, inform the crew. The others will suspend their vacation and go to Taiwan tomorrow. After Mengfei and the others came back from the hospital, they sent someone to take them back to Yanjing."
Li Hong pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he decided. Open your mouth.
He knew that Zhou Yan's handling of the current situation was correct. The other party came prepared and left no traces. Even calling the police would be of no use and would instead entangle them here.
The top priority is to ensure that no one else is harmed and then finish filming as soon as possible. (End of this chapter)
