Chapter 484 Young and Dangerous, which had a profound influence on the post-80s generation, is here

The 21st day of the first lunar month is an auspicious day for getting married.

On this day, a hotel in Fuzhou, Fujian was hosting a wedding that was low-key yet secretly high-profile.

The reason why it is called low-key is that there were only eight tables at the wedding, which can be said to be very low-key in an era when grand weddings are prevalent.

The hidden high profile is that most of the guests attending the wedding have prominent identities.

The bride and groom of this wedding were none other than Wu Weiguo and Song Yu, two older young people, or "leftover men and women" in the words of later generations.

It hasn't been long since Deng Yunheng introduced them to each other and now they are getting married.

This is actually not surprising. Both of them are already in their thirties, and the parents of both sides have been worrying about their marriage for a long time. It is rare for them to meet the right person now, so there is no time to hesitate. The best thing to do is to get married and have children as soon as possible.

Deng Yunheng and Song Yu are very good alumni and friends, and Deng Shirong and Song's father are also good friends.

Now that Song Yu is getting married, Deng Shirong will naturally attend the wedding.

Weddings in Bobai are usually held from 11am to 1pm, while weddings in Fuzhou are usually held from 6pm to 8pm.

After the wedding, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. As the bride's family, the Song family was naturally not suitable to stay at the groom's house, so they stayed in a hotel.

Deng Shirong didn't want to live with his second son, so he went to stay in a hotel with the Song family.

This hotel was naturally arranged by the Wu family. If the bride came from afar to attend the wedding and had to pay for her stay in the hotel, it would be completely a poor hospitality on the part of the groom. A family like the Wu family would naturally not make such a mistake.

When they arrived at the hotel, as it was still early, Deng Shirong and Song's father sat together to drink tea and chat.

Deng Shirong took a sip of tea and said, "Xiaoyu has finally found a good home. Old Song, you should breathe a sigh of relief."

Father Song smiled brightly and said, "Yes, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Her mother and I have been worried sick over the past few years. Now thanks to your Yun Heng for being her matchmaker, otherwise we don't know when we can see this girl get married."

Deng Shirong said: "Marrying into a family like the Wu family, you really don't have to worry about the future. It is estimated that Xiaoyu's level will soon surpass that of your father."

"The student surpasses the teacher, and this is what we as parents hope to see most."

At this point, Song's father couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile, and then he sighed and said, "It's a pity that among my three children, only Xiaoyu is more promising, and the other two are useless. Unlike Uncle Jiu, all your children are outstanding, which is really enviable."

Deng Shirong said modestly: "It's not that they are outstanding. At best, my children are better than the best and worse than the worst."

Father Song took a sip of tea and said, "Uncle Jiu, you are so modest. If your children are not outstanding, I think there are few people in the world who are qualified to use this idiom to describe them."

Deng Shirong smiled and changed the subject, "Old Song, you know that our Deng family built a film and television city. If you are willing to let Brother Xiaoyu and Sister give up their positions to do business, we still have a lot of opportunities there, and I can take care of them."

When Song's father heard this, his heart moved. His eldest son and youngest daughter were just ordinary civil servants. It was all thanks to him as a father that they could enter the system. With their foundation and abilities, they would basically stop at the deputy section level for their entire lives, and the possibility of becoming a full section level was less than 10%.

This is also the main reason why Song's father scolded them for being useless.

If they are allowed to remain content with the status quo, the end of their lives will be visible at a glance.

Such days are actually pretty good for most people, but for a family like theirs, it is not so satisfactory.

If the children are willing to give up their jobs and start some business, with Uncle Jiu's support, it would be easy for them to make a fortune of a million, I don't know how much.

Thinking of this, Song's father said, "Thank you, Uncle Jiu. I'll talk to them later. If they are willing to do business, I will contact you and ask you to show them a way. If they like the ordinary life now, then let them go. I'm too lazy to care."

"As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We parents try our best to pave the way for our children, but they may not like it because everyone has different ideas and concepts."

Deng Shirong said: "For example, some people can save money for three months or even longer in order to go on a trip, but some people think that it is not worth it to save money for such a long time in order to go on a trip.

So, everyone has their own way of living, and we as parents don’t need to interfere too much.”

Father Song nodded and said, "My view is similar to yours, Uncle Jiu. This is also the main reason why Xiaoyu has not married at such an age. As parents, we have never forced her to get married. Forcibly interfering in the marriage and career of our children is not necessarily a good thing."

"Old Song, you are a good father."

"I still need to learn from you, Uncle Jiu, in this regard."

Having said that, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

…

In late March, the crew of "The Opium War" officially moved into Naye Film and Television City. Their accommodation was arranged in the first hotel in Shuangwang Town, which was the hotel invested and built by Bu Dafang.

Although the decoration of this hotel cannot compare with those high-end hotels in big cities, it is not inferior to ordinary hotels in counties and cities. Moreover, Bu Dafang's hotel follows the advice of his uncle and does a very good job in hygiene. The rooms are so clean that people feel good at first sight.

Anyway, seeing the environment of the hotel, the crew members of "The Opium War" were quite satisfied.

With the arrival of the "Opium War" crew members, the news that the film was about to start shooting spread like wildfire throughout Shuangwang Town in an instant, and then spread to other towns and villages at an extremely fast speed.

In just half a day, several towns centered on Shuangwang Town were all in a frenzy.

"Aunt Qi, let me tell you something important."

"What's the big deal?"

"Naya Film Studios, a director is coming here to shoot a movie!"

"Is this true? When did it happen?"

"Of course it's true. My fourth aunt just called and said that the film crew has arrived and the filming will start tomorrow."

"There really is a director coming here to shoot a movie? Then I have to go to Naye Film Studio tomorrow to see how this movie was shot."

"Aunt Qi, let's go together tomorrow. I'm also curious about how this movie was made."

"Okay, let's set off after breakfast tomorrow."

…

Making a movie is really a magical thing for the rural people in Bobai. Therefore, after receiving the news of the crew's arrival, not only the people in Shuangwang Town planned to rush over to watch the fun, but people from other towns also rushed over.

Therefore, on the second day after the crew settled in Naye Film and Television City, nearly 100,000 people flocked to the "Guangzhou Street" attraction, all of them came out of curiosity to watch the fun.

In this era, on market days, famous markets such as Longtan and Shahe have 20 to 30 thousand people going to the markets. Now there are film crews coming to Naye Film and Television City to shoot movies, and the attraction is not comparable to that of ordinary market days.

Therefore, after the news spread, it was normal for nearly 100,000 people to come and watch the fun.

Director Xie has long been accustomed to such grand scenes. He has been shooting movies for decades, and whenever he shoots outside, he always causes a sensation among the local people.

After all, in this day and age, everyone likes to watch movies, and only insiders like them understand how movies are made. Who doesn't have curiosity? When they know that a film crew is coming to shoot a movie, people with nothing to do will come and watch the fun.

It is impossible to start shooting right away since I have just arrived.

While the other crew members were busy, Director Xie stepped out and said to the curious onlookers, "My name is Xie, and I am the director of the movie "Opium War". Our crew will stay here to shoot the movie for a long time, and we will need some extras. If you are interested, please sign up."

"What is a supporting actor?"

"I don't understand either. Maybe it's a character called Extra in the movie?"

"If I become a minor actor, can I be seen in the movie?"

"That should be what it means!"

"Fuck, I can be in a movie. I want to sign up."

“…”

In fact, the rural people present had only a vague understanding of extras, after all, Stephen Chow's "The King of Comedy" had not been released at that time.

However, they still understood what the actors meant. When they thought about becoming extras and seeing themselves in the movie, they were all so excited that they screamed and couldn't wait to sign up to be extras.

Deng Shirong was also present at the event. He naturally knew what a supporting actor was. When the film and television city builds more attractions in the future and attracts countless film crews to come and shoot movies, the local villagers can come and play supporting roles when they have nothing to do. This is also a good income.

For those who are trained in acting and dream of becoming big stars, being an extra is of course a very hard job, but for the villagers in the countryside who "face the loess and back to the sky", can being an extra be as hard as farming?

Especially during the busy farming season, only those who have experienced it know what real hardship is.

Today, Director Xie simply held a start-up ceremony, rehearsed a scene casually for the actors to get familiar with the feeling, and that was it.

During the rehearsal, Deng Shirong also ordered everyone to watch from afar and no one could get close to Guangzhou Street.

Even though they were watching from afar and had no idea what was going on, everyone present felt very satisfied. After today they would be able to brag loudly to others that they knew how movies were made.

…

"Let's forget about right and wrong, let's miss the past

We have always had fun in the days of adversity. We don’t believe in despair. We don’t feel hesitant…”

On this day, when Deng Shirong passed by Deng Changxing's house, he saw his son Deng Sifeng holding a lighter and pressing it continuously, humming the classic song "Years of Friendship" with a very focused expression.

Seeing this scene, Deng Shirong knew that the "Young and Dangerous" series, which had a profound influence on young people, was here.

The three Young and Dangerous movies, "Young and Dangerous", "Young and Dangerous: Way of the Dragon" and "Young and Dangerous: Hand of God" were all released in 1996. At that time, many people born in the 1970s and 1980s were young and frivolous. After watching the Young and Dangerous series of movies, many people's world views were greatly influenced.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Among the thousands of members of the Deng family in the previous life, the one most influenced by the "Young and Dangerous" movie series was Deng Sifeng, who just turned 16 years old.

If his life trajectory had not changed, he would have embarked on the criminal path of armed robbery three years later.

Fortunately, he had only participated in two armed robberies. Because he accidentally lost his ID card at the robbery scene, the police followed the clues and caught him, and then sent him to prison for several years.

This gave him a chance to repent and reform, and prevented him from going further down the path of crime.

This guy was too deeply influenced by the "Young and Dangerous" movie series. After being arrested, he did not give up his accomplices who participated in the robbery for the sake of loyalty. After he was released from prison, those accomplices were very loyal and collected hundreds of thousands of dollars for him as compensation.

Unfortunately, he was ultimately unable to get on the right track. After he was released from prison, he became addicted to the Mark Six lottery and eventually lost all the hundreds of thousands of dollars that his accomplices had given him. He also owed a lot of debts. Until the year Deng Shirong was reborn, he had not made a name for himself and had not even been able to marry.

However, although he had no money, he did enjoy a lot in terms of eating, drinking and having fun.

After all, he is a man who dares to rob with a gun. People are willing to give him some face wherever he goes, so he naturally has no worries about food and drink.

Today, the customs of the Naye Deng family have been completely changed by Deng Shirong. Every household in the clan is not short of money. It is believed that Deng Sifeng will not embark on the criminal path of armed robbery like in his previous life.

But Deng Shirong was still a little wary. He had seen a lot of strange news in his previous life. For example, some rich people had a special hobby of stealing. Although their families were not short of money, they still found ways to go out and steal in order to seek excitement.

The underworld described in the "Young and Dangerous" film series is exactly what a silly boy like Deng Sifeng yearns for. If he is not stopped in advance, there is no guarantee that he will not form a gang like in the movies and live a life of "fighting and killing".

Thinking of this, Deng Shirong decided to wait until the movie "Young and Dangerous" came out, and then hold a clan meeting to correct the three views of the young people in the clan, so that they would not go astray due to lack of discipline, which would then be difficult to save them.

Deng Sifeng naturally didn't know that his actions were all seen by Jiu Zu. He imitated the handsome moves of those young and dangerous guys in the movies, completely immersed in the world of young and dangerous guys, and fantasized about being able to call the shots like those big brothers.

Looking across the country, there are many young people like Deng Sifeng who are influenced by the "Young and Dangerous" series of movies. The public security in this era is already worrying, and now with the release of the "Young and Dangerous" series of movies, it is even worse.

After watching the Young and Dangerous movie series, these teenagers, whose values ​​have not yet been formed, have no interest in studying at all. They only want to be like the young and dangerous guys in the movies, hanging out in the underworld, drinking, fighting, and picking up girls. The thought of it makes them feel so good.

As for the bosses or younger brothers who died tragically in the "Young and Dangerous" movie series, and how bloody the underworld is, these teenagers turned a blind eye to them.

…

Deng Yunfu and his five siblings returned to Taiwan and spent more than a month to finally settle all their businesses in Taiwan. Deng Yunlian and his wife, and Deng Changshou and his wife also quit their jobs, and then returned to Naye Village with their children and all their property.

When they returned to Naye Village that night, while everyone was sitting together chatting, Deng Yunfu said to Uncle Man, "Uncle Man, I went back this time and disposed of all my businesses. I raised a total of 30 million RMB. What do you think would be a good business for me to do?"

Deng Shirong had already made plans for his nephews and nieces' careers. Upon hearing this, he said, "Yunfu, Yunlu, Yunlian, Yunhua, and Yunshou, I have thought of two paths for the five of you brothers and sisters. You can decide which path you want to take."

When these words were spoken, Deng Yunfu and his five siblings all became excited.

Deng Yunfu quickly asked, "Uncle Man, which two roads are they?"

Deng Shize and his wife also looked over.

Deng Shirong raised a finger and said, "The first way is to open an Internet cafe!"

"Open an Internet cafe?"

Deng Yunfu and his five siblings looked at each other in bewilderment.

Deng Yunlu couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Man, what is this Internet cafe?"

Deng Shirong said: "Internet cafes refer to business places that provide Internet access services to the public through computers and other devices. If you have noticed, there should be Internet cafes in Taiwan at this time!"

Deng Yunfu shook his head and said, "I haven't really noticed this. Have you ever seen an Internet cafe in Taiwan?"

Others also shook their heads, saying that they had never paid attention to such things as Internet cafes.

Deng Shirong thought it was not surprising. The world's first Internet cafe was born on September 1, 1994. Now it was only April 1996, and only a little over a year and a half had passed. Although Taiwan is a developed region and is connected with the world, in such a short time, even if there were Internet cafes, they would not have become popular all over Taiwan so quickly.

Therefore, it is normal that nephews and nieces do not know the existence of Internet cafes.

Deng Shirong said: "Anyway, I am very optimistic about the development of Internet cafes. I believe that it will only take a few years for them to become popular throughout the entire continent. This is a very large market. Even if you five siblings and your cousins ​​all enter this industry, it will only be a drop in the ocean.

There is not even one Internet cafe in the entire mainland right now. You guys are the first to enter this industry at this time, and you will definitely make a lot of money."

Deng Yunfu and his five siblings were all excited when they heard this. They didn't know much about Internet cafes, but since Uncle Man said that they could make a lot of money by entering this industry, it must be right. They completely believed in Uncle Man's vision.

After Deng Yunlian's heart was moved, she said awkwardly, "Uncle Man, the Internet cafe you are talking about is a business place that provides Internet services to the public through computers and other devices. However, the price of computers is very expensive. If you want to invest in opening an Internet cafe, I'm afraid it will require a lot of money, right?"

"Internet cafes can be large or small. A small Internet cafe can also be called a computer room, which only needs a few computers. But if I ask you to open an Internet cafe, it must be a large-scale Internet cafe, which must have at least dozens or hundreds of computers. The investment in any Internet cafe must be more than one million."

At this point, Deng Shirong changed the subject and said with a smile: "But you don't have to worry. I, Uncle Man, can lend you the start-up capital. When your Internet cafe is profitable, you can use the profits to open the second, third... tenth Internet cafe. If you expand step by step, you will naturally make more and more money."

Mr. and Mrs. Deng Yunlian and Mr. and Mrs. Deng Yunshou were reassured when they heard this. Before, they were just ordinary civil servants and teachers in Taiwan. Their income was not high, and after paying for their family's expenses, they did not have much money left. Asking them to take out money to invest was something they really could not afford.

However, Uncle Man is willing to lend them the start-up capital, so they don't have to worry about the money.

Deng Yunhua asked: "Uncle Man, besides opening an Internet cafe, what is the second option?"

Deng Shirong raised his second finger and said, "The second way is to run a fast food restaurant like KFC and McDonald's."

Deng Yunfu and his four siblings were naturally no strangers to fast food giants like KFC and McDonald's. Compared to Internet cafes, which they knew nothing about, they were more familiar with KFC and McDonald's fast food.

Deng Yunfu was particularly interested in operating a food company in Taiwan. He was more interested in operating a fast food business than an Internet cafe. He asked impatiently, "Uncle Man, do you mean for us to imitate KFC and McDonald's?"

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "It can be said that since KFC and McDonald's entered the mainland, they have been sought after and their business has been extremely hot. Many Chinese people have regarded going to KFC or McDonald's as a fashion, which has led to the rapid development of these two foreign fast food restaurants in China.

If you are interested in this industry, just imitate the products of KFC and McDonald's and lower the prices.

If the taste is not too different, no one can resist the temptation of low prices. If the price is only half of KFC and McDonald's, and the strategy of small profits but quick turnover is adopted, then this business will definitely be very successful."

“Only half the price of KFC and McDonald’s?”

Deng Yunfu couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, and blurted out: "Uncle Man, if we sell at such a low price, can we still make a profit?"

Thinking of Wallace in his previous life, Deng Shirong couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course there is profit to be made. There are still many ways to reduce costs. If you are interested, I can tell you in detail."

Deng Yunfu nodded repeatedly and said, "Uncle Man, I am very interested in this industry."

Hearing this, the other brothers and sisters also looked at Uncle Man. They were not as biased as their eldest brother, but planned to listen more and then weigh the options to see whether it was better to run an Internet cafe or this foreign fast food restaurant.
