We often see triads in Hong Kong movies, which are varied and well-organized. For example, the gangster series is quite interesting. I also like this kind of movies very much. Bloody cruelty, loneliness and ruthlessness always give people an inexplicable romantic feeling. So, what is the true face of the underworld? Let me introduce you to what I know about Hong Kong underworld. Gangdom in Hong Kong is usually called triad (Hong Kong movies have "0 triad files", which is often mentioned in other movies). What is a triad? There are two solutions: 1: Gangdom in Hong Kong was handed down from Guangdong, which has three rivers: Dongjiang, Beijiang and Xijiang, hence the name Gangdom. 2. It is said that Chen Jinnan, the founder of Hong Men (yes, he was the head of the the duke of mount deer Heaven and Earth Society) and Qing soldiers died in Huizhou, and his successor, God bless Hong Ying, continued to lead the organization. At that time, his troops were very prosperous, so they were called triads. In fact, triad organizations in Hong Kong are different from those in Hong Men in the Mainland. First of all, although they are still emperor-level (of course, the so-called Daming authentic), they have little to do with the gangs in the mainland. Most gangs actually started from small handicraft associations like chambers of commerce or dockworkers' associations. Until Xuantong period, a black family of Hong Men incense owners came to Hong Kong to contact various gangs, suggesting that followers should be organized under the brand of Hong Men, so as to expand their influence and reduce their fighting with each other. From then on. Secondly, they have nothing to do with Hong Men in the Mainland and have little contact with each other. They are also doing their own "business", which is completely different from the purpose of the early anti-Qing dynasty in mainland China (of course, Hong Men in mainland China has gradually become a gang in the Qing dynasty). Gangdom in Hong Kong has developed very rapidly since it came into being, which can be roughly divided into three periods: 1: the general strike in the provinces and ports. The general strike in the provinces and ports after the May 30th tragedy caused economic depression and public order disorder in Hong Kong, and the gangdom took the opportunity to develop vigorously and make a fortune. 2. Throughout the 1930s, due to the loyalty of the underworld and the beginning of the gap between the police and bandits, the underworld developed steadily and rapidly. 3: 14K Raptors cross the river. After the War of Liberation, the color of Kuomintang 14K entered Hong Kong, and it developed quite fiercely because of its background. Most gangs have some rank titles, from top to bottom: incense master-marshal-red stick-paper fan-straw sandals. Of course, these names are just old names, which may not be so serious with the development of the times, but they still have grades. Usually, these positions are elected, and everyone is sitting in a hurry (or simply in a restaurant or karaoke). First, someone nominates and then raises their hands (other ways are also possible) to vote. The family law of the underworld was also very strict in the early days. Gangs (formerly known as societies) usually have a "guard" or "deacon" who enforces the law. When some gang members break the family law, they will enforce it. The general rule is: 1: don't collude with the government (it's different now, just more) 2: don't eat black. Some underworld code words: wearing clothes with horizontal corners-pants with super lines-glasses (black glasses-sunglasses)-eggs-blue watches-knives and dogs-guns with horizontal arms-smoking opium and beer ashes-smoking white powder (extinguishing ash-giving up white powder) sheep. China Golden Finger-Old Informant-Lawyer Bursts into the River-Bleeding-Prison Circle-Guangzhou (now referring to the Mainland) Title-Fighting Wen Que-Pickpocket Mounting-Kaixiangtang-Running Ancestral Temple-Laozi in Stanley Prison-Playing Eight in Zhimawan Prison. Basically: 1: drug trafficking. Expand the input, manufacture, wholesale and retail of raw materials. (Black Snow) 2: Open a gambling hall to gamble. (gambler, gambler, gambler, gambler) 3: porn industry. There are many ways: concert hall, wine curtain, bath, striptease, body painting, tour guide company, beauty flower arrangement, female recruitment, small movie, live performance, women's beauty salon, etc. Most of them are controlled by the underworld. ("Call Girl") 4: Cheating. (Thousand Kings Series) 5: Robbery and murder. (Black Mouse) 6: Threatening students. (Truant) 7: Selling counterfeit arms (True colors of heroes, Detective Tough Guy). Gangs and sites of Hong Kong triads: Mong Kok-Sham Shui Po and Ho On Lok-Wo and Sheng-Jordan Road North in Yi Sheng, Yau Ma Tei, Lien Chan Ying-Tsim Sha Tsui, Fu Yi Xing-To Kwa Wan and Kowloon City (on Kowloon), Yi Shan-Wan Chai and Hoptu-Central and Shengtang-West. They are probably Chaozhou gangs, which should be the prototype of Hong Xing in "Young and Dangerous")-Causeway Bay is concentric-part of Wan Chai, part of the Western District (of course, due to gang disputes, the territory is not fixed). There are also some gangs, such as Jingyi, Clubs (referring to Macau), green gang, Lecture Notes, and Hutchison (there seems to be a Hutchison Communication Company). Today, there are about 200,000 to 300,000 official triad members and 400,000 to 500,000 unofficial members in Hong Kong. They still engage in the traditional gambling of pornography and drugs. Of course, many bosses have turned to the right line, which is inconvenient to show their faces. Moreover, with the return of Hong Kong and the vigorous crackdown by the Hong Kong police, the triad forces have greatly converged. However, our underworld is not a vegetarian. In recent years, gang activities have gone underground, which makes it difficult to obtain evidence and clean up. Moreover, the underworld in Hong Kong has become more inland, international and complex. In addition, the names of characters in some movies are also real people. All I know are: bereavement, dragon and giant brother-these are famous underworld figures, big or small. The Xiang Huaqiang brothers involved in Stephen Chow and Chow Yun Fat circulated in the entertainment circle should also belong to Xinyi 'an. The introduction is too messy and not comprehensive enough, just as a peek at the leopard! Information about the work (III) Insider of the Hong Kong underworld (II) The boss behind the scenes of the underworld bosses in the Hong Kong film circle (the author is unknown) is the boss of Xinyian, the first gangster in Hong Kong. Xiang XX, also known as dragon five, owns several film companies, the most famous of which is WINS Film Company, which filmed "God of Gambling". Andy Lau and Stephen Chow are very obedient. Don't say, even Dong dare not say anything. . . . If the "cover artist" is still out of "work relationship", holding the actress is purely a personal hobby. Some time ago, Ceng Zhiwei laughed at Joey Yung's ugly teeth on the show, and his face was almost beaten into a pig's head. Later, Joey Yung was arrested by the police, and he burst into tears. Although the parties including Ceng Zhiwei and Joey Yung were silent afterwards and refused to comment on this matter, the Hong Kong media pointed out that Joey Yung had a close personal relationship with a gangster, and the attack on Ceng Zhiwei was a disaster, which angered the boss and led to this beating. In contrast, Taiwan Province singer Huang Yiling is much more generous. In her latest Taiwan Province album "Waves", she simply sang the title song "Waves" with a "big brother" on the road. At the MTV premiere of this album, "Big Brother" personally visited the venue and pursued Huang Yiling without any doubt. What's even more funny is that this "Waves" is a graffiti work of this "big brother" when he was in prison. It is said that this song was sung in prison for 15 years before it was published. The entertainment circle of money laundering is a battlefield for chasing fame and fortune, and also a golden paradise for underworld "money laundering". Gangs "launder money" by subsidizing movies and TV series, which is both unnoticed and can get high box office returns. For the underworld, it is a "beautiful thing" to kill two birds with one stone. In this process, the identities of the stars become ambiguous: some have to work because they have knives around their necks, and some are inextricably linked with gangs ... Stephen Chow, the Hong Kong film star, began to apply for immigration to Canada many years ago, but was repeatedly rejected for being suspected of having an affair with the underworld. After 1996 was rejected by the Canadian Commissioner in Hong Kong, "Zhou Wang" began a long road of appeal, and finally even took the lawsuit to the highest judicial institution in Canada-the Federal Supreme Court, but it was still ruthlessly rejected. Last year, Canadian courts even revealed that they had four secret intelligence documents related to the underworld in Stephen Chow and Hongkong, and considered these 200-page "black materials" as irrefutable evidence, from which Stephen Chow could be identified as a "member of a criminal organization". In fact, Stephen Chow filmed for a film company in his early years, and this company belongs to the gang of "Xinyian". Although it can't be said that every employee working in this company is a gangster, Stephen Chow is a "special case". It is said that he used black money to film for the company, which made huge profits, and it seems that he can't escape the suspicion of "money laundering" by the mafia. At present, he has not given up the idea of appeal-although he has given up the idea of immigration, his purpose is only to "excuse himself." Raising the "protection fee" Jackie Chan's fame and prestige in Hong Kong and even the whole Chinese entertainment circle is beyond doubt. However, the identity of "big brother" can't spare him from being blackmailed by the underworld. When filming "Rush Hour 2" in March last year, Jackie Chan was threatened to extort HK$ 500,000 "venue fee" from Hong Kong gangster "Xinyian", which caused quite a shock in the entertainment circle of Hong Kong and Taiwan. Jackie chan has a quick reaction. He held a press conference and made it clear: "Never let blackmailers succeed!" Because Rush Hour 2 is invested by the United States, this gang is blackmailing foreign films this time. No wonder Jackie Chan said angrily, "This is a disgrace to Hong Kong!" In addition to calling on the Hong Kong government to take courage and measures to protect artists, he also called on all entertainment people to unite against gangs. Although this blackmail incident was ruined by Jackie Chan's tough attitude and his prestige, not all artists have such courage and good luck. Many artists are threatened and blackmailed, so they can only "break the money and eliminate disasters". The underworld forces in Hong Kong's entertainment circle have a long history. "Xinyi 'an" and "Thirteen K" are both well-known gangster organizations, which have huge resources in the film industry. In addition to extorting protection money, it is also common to force stars to play bad plays. Some gangsters are looking for stars to film. In order to be afraid that the king of heaven would not accept the script, I simply gave the gun in the script. In this case, I am afraid that even the worst drama stars will accept it. Many big stars are so upset that a large number of Hong Kong artists took to the streets wearing sunglasses to protest against triads a few years ago. In addition, an artist of "Happy Tonight" on TVB was beaten and threatened for imitating Joey Yung, who was regarded as slandering Joey Yung, and almost lost his mind. Xiang Huaqiang ranks 10th among Xiang's 13 brothers, and is active in the entertainment circle with his seventh brother Huabo and his younger brother Watson. Xiang Huaqiang is currently the chairman of China Star Group, and many of his films are very popular. Lonely Men and Few Women and the recent Slimming Men and Women are both China star movies. The father of the Xiang brothers is a major general of the Kuomintang. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, under the cover of Aon Company, the "Xinyian" gang was established. In fact, Hong Xing and Dong Xing in "Young and Dangerous" are alluding to the two major gangs of Hong Kong underworld-Xinyi 'an and United English Society. In "The Raptors Crossing the River", the three gangs in Taiwan Province Province actually alluded to the Julian gang, the largest gang in Taiwan Province Province. The main force of its development is the hoarding of goods in Taichung and Tainan, and the lotus flower is their traditional "nest". In the entertainment circle in Hong Kong, nearly half of the people are involved in the underworld, and there are many gangsters. For example, Stephen Chow and Chow Yun Fat are members of Xinyi 'an, and their immigration applications were rejected for these reasons. There is also Heguan, which is said to be all fighting teenagers in Britain in those days, all because Ou Dou entered the reformatory. Louis Koo was once sentenced to prison, but was later given a suspended sentence. Most people in the entertainment circle have been forced to make movies, and what's more, they have been attacked, insulted and intimidated. Most of the reasons are caused by gangs hired by hostile companies, and some actors have disputes with contracted companies, which leads to the threat of triads. Among Hong Kong actors, Yam Tat-wah is the best. He is a figure who gives face to both black and white. His brother is a senior police officer in Hong Kong, so that most of the "black bosses" in the film and television circle are close to him and call him a brother. Jackie Chan is a martial artist on the set, and the background must be dark. As far as I know, there are few martial artists on the set who are not affiliated with gangs. Martial artists not only shoot some martial arts, but also take charge of the security of the studio. It is common for them to gather together to fight and kill people. This bad habit was prevalent in Shaw Studio as early as the late 1960s, and it was even more rampant in the 1970s. Jiahe and Shaw used gangs to expel each other's fans in order to compete for box office benefits. Shaw's cinemas are often bombed to show intimidation, and the dragon and tiger martial artists on the set are even fighting with gangs to prevent gang members from making trouble on the set. Because he was born on the set, Jackie Chan naturally ignored most of the forces of traditional gangs like his peers. And because the gang has not been able to get a little cheaper from the studio for many years, the people in the gang are also afraid of the martial artists in the studio. Therefore, when a star in the circle has a problem, he will find a well-known Wulin tycoon to solve the problem. In the mid-1990s, an actress was threatened by local gangsters in Macau. Jackie Chan even asked to throw out 100 million yuan to end the Macao gang, so that the incident immediately calmed down under Jackie Chan's lion's mouth. This shows that eldest brother's position in the Jianghu is unparalleled. If you want to protect yourself in Hong Kong's entertainment circle, as long as you can rely on two people-Jackie Chan and Yam Tat-wah, you can take it easy. Therefore, their popularity is extremely high, and Du Qifeng's original "Galaxy Image" crossing the port and "crossing the border" incident was also handled by Yam Tat-wah. Du Qifeng regards Yam Tat-wah as his best friend. Didn't he go to Shenyang to personally warmly receive the local black boss liuyong? 1999 When Broken Tooth Koi was arrested, Yam Tat-wah visited him in prison.
