To be honest, it was originally a very happy thing for Nanaya to host a barbecue party.
But a phone call from the police station instantly destroyed Nanaya's good mood.
Nanaya didn't know what sin he had committed to deserve to meet such fools.
Fortunately, Washimine's North American headquarters is in New York. After Nanaya explained the situation, Shion immediately found two lawyers and went to the police station with Nanaya.
With the persuasive negotiations of the two lawyers and after paying the bail, Nanaya was finally able to take these four disgraceful creatures away.
I don't know how the two lawyers communicated with each other. Although bail was paid, it is a blessing in disguise that none of the four people will have a criminal record.
Led by the police, Shiki and several others walked out of the detention room.
The other three were all covered in dust and dirt, probably because they felt embarrassed for being caught.
Only old man Li Tongchen was in extremely high spirits.
When he was brought out by the police, the old man's face was still flushed and he kept talking to the police.
"You bunch of bastards! Believe it or not, I will find a reason to kill you later! You dare to catch my fish! I will let you have a taste of my fist!"
Shiki Matsuno covered his face with his hands, looking like he wanted to die.
Apparently he felt that being caught by the police was not shameful, but being with this old man was shameful.
Li Tongchen became more and more excited as he spoke, and some obscene words began to come out of his mouth.
"And that little [beep——] bitch! Don't let me catch you next time! Otherwise I will [beep——], and then [beep——]! Don't treat me as a [beep——]! I have chosen you, you [beep——]..."
Listening to the various muted words, Nanaya couldn't help but be thankful that the old man was speaking in dialect and no one here could understand it, otherwise these policemen would have to draw their guns.
"When did the police in New York become so easy to talk to?" Nanaya asked curiously.
Even though they didn't understand, Nanaya didn't believe that no one would be able to guess that Uncle Li was cursing.
"Well..."
The police officer who received Nanaya touched his nose a little embarrassedly, "Because the reason for arresting them is a little special... and although this old man cursed fiercely, he didn't mean to take action."
"Besides, the place where they were arrested was in a wealthy area, so we should be polite."
Nanaya felt that the last sentence the young man added was the key point.
After all, when he paid the money just now, this guy's leader was smiling with joy.
"You are too shameful."
Nanaya slapped Shiki hard on the neck.
Shiki Matsuno had a bitter face. He had a lot to say, but he didn't dare to speak because there were too many people around him.
"That's it then, Mr. Kiryu, bye."
After Nanaya took everyone away, the police officer who received them smiled and waved.
"Never again."
Nanaya snorted coldly.
After the two lawyers arranged by Shion said goodbye, Nanaya drove the four people back.
On the way, the old man was still indignant.
"Tsk, if it was..."
"Uncle, please stop talking." Nanaya sighed. He asked Shiki, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "What's going on? You can be sent to the police station just for buying alcohol. You are awesome!"
"Hmm…"
Shiki Matsuno hesitated twice. He was probably too embarrassed to speak.
"You won't tell me, okay?" Nanaya picked the most honest one among the four people, "Johnson, you tell me."
Johnson pouted his lips. If an ordinary muscular man did such a move, it might give people goose bumps, but Johnson looked funny.
All we can say is that a person's face is determined by nature, and someone like Johnson is naturally likable.
"Um... it's like this, Director." Johnson said helplessly, "We came out after buying beer and met a woman, and Mr. Li went up to her and flirted with her."
"I beeped her like a fairy! Who knew the seller was actually a cop! The seller was just beeping."
Of course the old man could understand English, and he answered Johnson's question halfway through his speech.
"Alright, alright. Old man, please calm down."
Nanaya had a friend in Sichuan in his previous life, so he could more or less understand Sichuan dialect.
But even if I could understand him, I couldn't stand the old man's series of muted words. How could I understand his meaning if he wasn't even coherent?
"Let me tell you..."
Shiki said with a depressed look on his face that he had never been so embarrassed in his life, and today he was extremely embarrassed.
"Well, we bought beer at first..."
The drunk driving inspection in the United States is very strict. Since all four of them had drunk alcohol, they did not drive but walked back and forth.
Looking back now, everyone felt that if they had known this would happen, they would have let Nanaya drive them there.
But the fact is that the four of them suffered.
When the four guys were walking back from the supermarket after buying wine, they met a flashy woman standing on the side of the road playing with her cell phone.
I don't know if these guys were drunk or if they drank too much horse urine and the two convulsion nerves in their stomachs were soaked together.
Anyway, the four guys fell in love with the beautiful young woman.
The first person to go crazy was James McAvoy. This guy shouted and told a dirty joke to the woman.
In the end, the other party gave him a blank look and ignored him.
This made the drunkards even more excited. Perhaps it was because the other party was dressed too sexily, so Shiki Matsuno started to have bad intentions.
He suggested to the others whether they should invite someone to the house for the party, since it looked like the person the woman was waiting for would not come.
Lao Li and McAvoy both nodded in agreement. All the girls at this party were Nanaya's favorites, and they didn't even have a chance to tease them.
Such a real party is really too boring, it is a good idea to find a new girl to change the taste.
"What can I say about you! You guys have drunk too much horse piss, don't you know what's going on?!" Nanaya roared at the four people, "You just pick someone and bring him into your circle. What if the other person is a paparazzi?! Will the photo of me and Lin kissing be leaked?!"
The four of them were speechless for a moment and just let Nanaya scold them.
Nanaya kept on nagging and cursing for a while, and when he was a little tired, he continued to ask: "Then what? Were you set up by that woman?"
"It's worse than that."
Shiki looked up at the roof of the car at a 45-degree angle with a look of despair.
The four guys' brains were already abnormal at the time, and they directly started a contest to pick up girls to see who could lure the girl to the party.
"Isn't this a bad idea?"
Johnson said with some embarrassment.
"That's nothing." The old man said with great confidence, "Let me show you idiots what it means to be still sharp."
After saying that, the old man walked up to the woman. He pretended to be very gentlemanly and made some very problematic remarks in standard English.
"Hey girl, are you alone? Come, I'll take you to a nice place. I promise you'll be so happy that you won't even want to come back home."
"puff----"
Nanaya, who was still driving, burst out laughing when he heard Shiki Matsuno vividly imitating Master Li's tone and saying these words.
"Occupy the child."
The old man muttered softly, perhaps feeling ashamed himself.
"What do you mean?"
Shiki didn't understand, he thought the old man was talking to him.
"I'm praising you."
"Forehead..."
Although he didn't understand what it said, Shiki Matsuno definitely didn't think it was a compliment.
"And then she called the police and said you were harassing her?"
"No need to call the police."
McAvoy, who had been silent the entire time, spoke up: "That woman is a police officer herself. She was in plain clothes to lure criminals into the trap. Everything Teacher Li said was recorded by the recorder she carried with her."
"Then suddenly several police cars drove out and several policemen got out and pinned us to the ground without saying a word."
"…"
Nanaya didn't say anything.
"At first we tried to make excuses, but they just released the recording of Uncle Li teasing us, and then... nothing happened."
"…"
Nanaya is accumulating strength.
"I'm gonna [beep——] her! That [beep——] bitch..."
"That's enough!"
Nanaya let out a roar, he stopped the car on the side of the road and yelled at the four people.
"You four, stay at the training grounds from tomorrow and wait for me to turn on the machine!"
Nanaya spitted at the four people, but none of them dared to refute.
"If you do anything weird again during this period, I will stuff you into the salute and set you off as fireworks when Lily's ancestor celebrates his birthday this year! Do you understand?!"
Nanaya was really angry this time. These guys were really embarrassing.
Fortunately, Nanaya chose New York as the venue for the party where there are not many paparazzi. If it was in Los Angeles where paparazzi are everywhere, the news would probably be all over the streets the next day.
Although it is a bit disgusting that the New York police carried out a sting operation, these four guys just ran into it on their own.
Nanaya's good mood was ruined by these four idiots, which made him full of resentment when he went to Europe the next day.
Fortunately, the news about the UBW box office results in Europe at this time somewhat alleviated Nanaya's depression.
Although Washimine's distribution capabilities did not allow for simultaneous global releases, it was still possible to release the film simultaneously in major box office markets such as North America, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
The remaining countries such as France and Spain will also release the film in the next two weeks.
Moreover, UBW's performance in Europe is very encouraging.
Perhaps it is because European audiences have long been tired of watching American protagonists in American blockbusters in the past two years, and UBW, a story about heroes from different countries and times, makes them feel particularly novel.
Especially in Lily's hometown, the UK, which is the hometown of King Arthur (or so they think), the film grossed $19.1 million in the first three days of its release.
The results in other European markets were equally exciting, with France closing at $15.7 million and Germany slightly less at $14.54 million.
There are also 12 million in Spain, 6 million in the Netherlands, 8.4 million in Russia, etc.
Including other countries and regions around the world, as of May 22, when Seven Nights left North America, UBW has been released in 65 overseas countries and regions.
The film's global box office has easily exceeded 650 million US dollars, making it the most profitable film of 2006.
