Chapter 2: The Young and Dangerous Stories in the Billiards Room



Li Ming was the first to speak: "Previously, Wang Jinlun took nicknames from mahjong, formed a team called 'One of Bamboo,' and called himself 'One of Bamboo.'"

Brother Jie, you've gone head-to-head and created a fake account. I think we shouldn't lose this nickname.

On TV, aren't all film and television companies called "Media" or something? We're a group of five, so I think we should call ourselves "Five People Film and Television Media"?

Five People?! A mesmerizing voice immediately popped into Hou Wenjie's head: Ah Zhen has fallen in love with Ah Qiang!

Zhang You shook his head and said, "I don't think it's a good name. It's not grand enough. The band that holds weddings and funerals in town is called the New Century Band!"

Bai Cheng suggested, "How about we call it Wenjie Brothers Media? We'll all follow Brother Jie's lead, unite around him, and make the entertainment business bigger and stronger!"

"I don't want to be brothers with Brother Jie!" Zhang Li pouted.

The group discussed the matter back and forth, but no one was willing to concede to the others. Finally, their attention turned back to Hou Wenjie.

"Brother Jie, you should come up with a name. We'll all listen to you!" Li Ming said.

The other three nodded as well.

Hou Wenjie thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it Xihe Media! We're based in Xihe Town, and if the company becomes famous in the future, it can also help promote our hometown."

the next day.

Hou Wenjie showed the notebook he had written the night before to the others.

"Don't worry, this is basically us playing ourselves, but the message must be righteous, and in the end, good will always triumph over evil!"

The group quickly finished reading the script.

Li Ming laughed and said, "Brother Jie, you're really mean! Wang Jinlun is already in jail, and you're still flogging his corpse!"

The plot of the script is very simple, after all, it is still in the early stages, and making long videos is a thankless task.

Zhang Li asked curiously, "Brother Jie, what does the title 'Young and Dangerous' mean?"

Hou Wenjie's script is called "Young and Dangerous: The Billiard Room Chronicles".

And in this world, there is no Cantonese language, nor is there the term "Young and Dangerous".

Hou Wenjie explained, "The name 'Young and Dangerous' means 'small-time hoodlums'! But when we come up with a title for a show, we can't break the law, and we can't lower our standards, so I came up with a name: 'Young and Dangerous'!"

Hou Wenjie felt no discomfort whatsoever about plagiarizing the culture of his previous life. How could a scholar's actions be called stealing?

Master Kong Yiji was his number one idol.

Afterwards, the group memorized their lines, brought security guard uniforms, leather jackets, sunglasses, and other equipment and props from their homes, and went to the billiard room to begin the first day of filming!

As the new big brother figure in the billiards room, Hou Wenjie naturally has no shortage of extras in his films.

The filming went smoothly.

Hou Wenjie then borrowed an old computer from the town's middle school computer lab to do some simple editing of the video, added subtitles, and everything was done.

The video was uploaded to the Kuaishou platform that very night!

Liu Xing is an ordinary landlord in Yangzhou. Apart from carrying a snakeskin bag to collect rent at the beginning of each month, he doesn't have much to do.

Aside from occasionally helping the poor, he just plays games, watches live streams, and scrolls through short videos.

The landlord's life is simple and low-key.

Today, as usual, he opened Kuaiyin (a Chinese video-sharing platform), swiped a few times, and a video called "Young and Dangerous: The Billiard Room Adventure" appeared in front of him.

Young and Dangerous?

What does that mean? He was a little curious and didn't swipe away.

The video has started playing.

A group of people appeared on the street. The leader was riding an electric bike. Although he was wearing sunglasses, it couldn't hide his handsome face!

He had a long-haired girl riding on the back of his electric scooter. The girl was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, not dressed up much, but she casually tossed her long hair.

Looking at that innocent face, Liu Xing was instantly captivated!

A dozen or so teenagers with various colored hairs followed behind the electric bikes, riding old-fashioned straight-bar bicycles.

As they pedaled their bicycles hard, they shouted excitedly, "West of Causeway Bay, Hao Nan is number one! West of Causeway Bay, Hao Nan is number one!"

A troubled youth? Liu Xing continued reading.

The convoy stopped in front of a billiards hall, and they rushed inside. One of them slowly pulled down the roller shutter door of the billiards hall.

Liu Xing knew that this scene meant something was about to happen, and he felt a strange sense of anticipation for what was to come!

"Brother Nan! Sister-in-law!" One of the younger men in the convoy acted as if he were one of the family members. He carried a case of soda from the pool hall, opened the bottle caps, and handed one bottle to each of the men in sunglasses and the long-haired, innocent-looking girl who had been riding the electric bike earlier.

At this point, everyone else in the billiard room also realized that something was wrong.

Five people walked out through the side door.

The leader, with dyed red hair and an extremely ugly expression, said, "Chen Haonan, what do you mean? Trying to cause trouble in my territory?"

At this point, the video subtitles introduced the man in sunglasses as Chan Ho-nam, who controlled the area west of Causeway Bay and owned businesses such as an ice rink and a video arcade.

When Chen Haonan took off his sunglasses, Liu Xing immediately saw a face that was even more handsome than the popular star Yan Zu.

Chen Haonan said in a very calm tone: "Everyone says that I am number one west of Causeway Bay!"

However, I'm not entirely satisfied! Today, I'm going to take down your flag and become the boss of Causeway Bay!

Liangkun, what do you think?

At this moment, the video subtitles show the man opposite Chen Haonan with a sinister look on his face, Liang Kun, who controls the territory east of Causeway Bay and oversees billiard halls, arcades, and other venues.

Liang Kun was furious: "Not good at all, I'm really angry right now!"

Chen Haonan smashed the soda bottle on the ground, and a group of his underlings behind him followed suit.

Chen Haonan glanced at his mechanical watch, then stared at Liang Kun: "It's 4:45 PM now. I want things to be under my control here after 5 PM!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his henchmen behind him started rushing forward!

Soon, Liang Kun and his group were outnumbered and beaten black and blue.

Chen Haonan waved his hand, signaling his underlings to open the roller shutter and let Liang Kun leave.

Liang Kun, supported by his two underlings, limped away.

As he was about to exit through the roller shutter, Liang Kun glanced back at Chen Haonan, offering a look of resentment.

Liu Xing could actually sense a sense of desolation at the end of the road from that look!

That look in his eyes and that hair-flipping gesture earlier are both epic upgrades!

"Congratulations to Brother Haonan on becoming the boss of Causeway Bay!"

The group of underlings were very happy.

Then the video began to flash rapidly through various arrogant scenes of Chen Haonan and his henchmen.

In one scene, several henchmen lit cigarettes for Chan Ho-nam. Chan Ho-nam exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at yet another rival who had been beaten down, and said, "In the entire Causeway Bay, no one can beat me, Chan Ho-nam! You want to fight me, Chan Ho-nam? Do you have the strength?"

The video then shifts to the police station, which, after continuous investigation, has finally obtained a chain of evidence against Chen Haonan. They begin to plan and prepare to arrest Chen Haonan. Although Chen Haonan had received word of this earlier, he remained calm.

Because he had already bribed his superiors.

He believes that no one would turn down money.

However, when his vigilant underlings told him that the police station had begun setting up a perimeter, he finally panicked.

He couldn't take the money from the safe with him, so he gritted his teeth and, with the help of his underlings, jumped over the wall and into the river before the police arrived.

Just when he thought he had escaped, he was successfully arrested by the police the moment he stepped ashore!

The main storyline of the video has ended, and the cast list will now be displayed.

After watching the whole video, Liu Xing actually felt the same thrill as watching an action movie!

He found that although the video was rough and the props were exaggerated, the actors were really good and the lines were a highlight!

Without hesitation, he liked, commented, and shared it on his WeChat Moments.
