When Ding Pinghou heard this, he was so surprised that he bit his tongue, which was so painful that he shivered.

However, Ding Pinghou couldn't care less about the pain at this time and asked quickly.

"How do you plan to fight the Shaw Brothers?"

He didn't believe what Cao Weidong said.

Want to fight Shaw Brothers?

Why?

Did you just write a book?

Do you know the status of Shaw Brothers in Hong Kong City?

However, Cao Weidong was as steady as an old dog and said mysteriously.

"Mr. Ding, I already have a solution, just watch it."

The only way to defeat magic is to use magic.

Cao Weidong has already thought of the key to breaking the situation.

Ding Pinghou is still asking questions.

However, Cao Weidong said that the secret must not be leaked, so he sent Ding Pinghou away.

No matter how much he asked, Cao Weidong just refused to say anything.

Ding Pinghou sighed.

"Okay, I'll just watch."

He felt extremely pessimistic and began to think about the clean sewer pipes in that part of the port area, which would be suitable for him to spend his old age peacefully.

.......

The next day.

After playing with Xiao Sidong for a while, he told Lou Xiao'e that he would not be back in the next few days, and then went to the newspaper office to hand over all the manuscripts for "Piaomiao Journey" in the next few days to Ding Pinghou.

Next, he was ready to start his own plan to fight against Shaw Brothers.

He first took a ferry from Hong Kong Island to Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, and found Tai Po Tsai under the guidance of passers-by.

Looking at this behemoth in front of him, Cao Weidong was excited.

This is Shaw Brothers Studios.

Mr. Shao's lair.

He looked up and carefully looked at this huge movie theater that was famous all over the world.

This movie theater has been built since the 1950s and is huge in scale.

There are five permanent "Tang Street", "Song City" and other streets in the movie theater, as well as permanent exterior scenes of Chinese pastoral villages, as well as six large-scale photo studios.

It can be said that since its opening in 1961, Shaw Brothers Studios has made a huge contribution to the development of Hong Kong's film industry.

My eyes glanced at the huge sign on top of Shaw Brothers Studios.

SB!

Cao Weidong felt an inexplicable smile in his heart.

This is the English abbreviation of Shaw Brothers, which represents the dazzling glory of the leading overlord of Hong Kong Film Industry.

It’s just that in later generations, this is an indescribable and strange word...

Ahem.

Cao Weidong calmed down and walked towards Shaw Brothers Studios.

Then he was driven away as a matter of course.

"Go, go, go. This place is not open to the public. Take a rest wherever it's cool."

Cao Weidong was disappointed.

Just as he was about to find another route, a man with a sinister face approached him, patted him on the shoulder, and asked in a low voice with a nondescript Minnan accent.

"Brother, do you want to go in and have a look?"

"Who are you?"

Cao Weidong was a little wary.

The man continued to ask in a low voice.

"Don't worry about who I am, as long as you know that I can help you get in."

"So you are a scalper..."

Cao Weidong suddenly reacted.

Could this man be the legendary scalper whose hands and eyes can reach the sky?

"Scalpers" are commonly known as "ticket dealers". In BJ's jargon, they are called "Patchworkers", while Shanghainese call them "Scalpers".

Its origin may lie in describing the scene where a group of people are grabbing supplies or tickets.

Like a herd of cattle.

Therefore, they are collectively called scalpers.

Of course, in this era, there was no such thing as scalpers, so men were confused.

“What is a scalper?”

"Forget it, don't talk nonsense. I see you have been here for a long time. Do you want to get in? If you want to get in, I have a way."

Cao Weidong asked curiously.

"Can you help me get in?"

The scalper waved his arms and made exaggerated body movements.

"Of course it's difficult to get in. You are not a staff member of Shaw Brothers or an actor. Once you are discovered, you will definitely be chased away by the gang of policemen patrolling the streets, and you may even get a beating. It will be miserable.

."

Cao Weidong is hard to understand.

Logically speaking, aren’t all movie theaters open to the public?

The scalper explained with words and gestures.

Cao Weidong listened for a while and finally understood.

The movie theater in this era was not open to the public, and only directors and cast members of Shaw Brothers were eligible to enter.

There are two reasons circulating among the people.

One reason is.

Shaw Brothers shoots more than 20 movies a year, and all of them are completed in Shaw Brothers Studios.

In order to prevent film clips and plots from being leaked, Shaw Brothers has specially strengthened patrol management to prevent outsiders from entering Shaw Brothers Studios.

Another reason is that the popular celebrities of this era are different from the future traffic niche.

During the filming, they stayed in the studio almost the entire time. In order to prevent overly enthusiastic fans from hurting the stars or affecting the filming progress, Shaw Brothers Studios was not open to the public.

However, there are still many people who are curious and come from all over Hong Kong Island in an endless stream.

These people stood under the high wall and looked out, imagining that they could enter Shaw Brothers Studios.

As a result, the job of scalper was born.

Their job is to help tourists sneak into the movie theater and then receive a certain amount of compensation.

Cao Weidong thought this could be done.

Isn’t it just giving money?

I have plenty of money now.

So I asked casually.

"How much?"

"Fifty Hong Kong dollars."

The scalper bids a price.

In the port city of this era, this was already an astronomical figure. The scalper was afraid that Cao Weidong would find it too expensive, so he explained it again.

"The situation in the movie theater is complicated. You must wear a specific uniform to enter, and these cost Hong Kong dollars..."

"Actually, what I earned was hard-earned money, and I definitely didn't lie to you."

Cao Weidong didn't value the money very much, and what the scalper said was sincere, so Cao Weidong agreed.

"Okay, fifty Hong Kong dollars is fifty Hong Kong dollars, as long as everything goes well."
