Chapter 001 Now you're the older brother, Brother Nan!
March 6, 1990, the day of Jingzhe (Awakening of Insects).
Su Nan walked out of a tea restaurant on Temple Street. He had only glanced at the road a few times when he heard a voice calling from the side, "A Nan?"
A moment later, a handsome young man who was a little over 1.7 meters tall walked up to him and patted Su Nan's arm.
"Are you really Anan?"
"Damn, I always thought you were a promising student at the HKU Law School."
"I forgot who told me that you stopped studying last year. What have you been doing lately?"
"Want to come with me to the film set and broaden your horizons? I'm working as a production assistant in Brother Xing and Vivian's new drama."
The handsome young man is Da Pao Hui, a classmate from "Sunan" Middle School.
However, Ah Fai stopped studying after graduating from Form 5 and failed the Form 7 Senior High School Examination last year.
His family had always pinned their hopes on his straight A grades in school.
Hopefully, he can rise from the dilapidated buildings in the Shixiawei resettlement area to become a lawyer through education.
As a result, due to an unexpected incident last year, he failed the college entrance examination because he missed one subject.
Otherwise, even if you don't get into the Faculty of Law at the University of Hong Kong with normal performance, you can still study medicine at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and become a doctor.
Lawyers and doctors are basically the most successful career paths for Hong Kong Island residents to hope for in their next generation.
Su Nan shook hands with Ahui and smiled, "Brother Xing and Vivian's new movie?"
Da Pao Hui nodded, "Vivian is really beautiful. She's even more charming in person than in movies and TV shows. Those bastards are lucky to have her."
"That playboy Ni Zhen has been pursuing her lately."
"Damn it, losers like us are born to watch others enjoy life."
In 1990, Vivian Chow was 23 years old and had not yet earned the title of "Jade Girl Leader".
She is also a bright new female singer and rising star.
Stephen Chow also experienced the same thing with popular TV dramas such as "The Legendary Swordsman" and "He Comes from the Jianghu".
His popularity is soaring, and the release of "God of Gamblers" in August this year will usher in the Stephen Chow era.
Su Nan smiled and offered a cigarette, "Then I really need to go and broaden my horizons. Thanks for leading the way, Brother Hui."
Su Nan is actually a typical post-2000s generation from inland China. He failed the postgraduate entrance exam for the provincial meteorological unit in the mid-to-late 2020s.
He was on a road trip to relax when he was involved in a car accident. Unexpectedly, after losing consciousness, he was given a new lease on life.
He traveled back in time to the household of "Shek Kip Mei Su Nan" on Hong Kong Island more than 30 years ago.
The original homeowner committed suicide. After he used the power of the system to devour the other party's memories, Su Nan's body in Shixiawei turned to ashes.
He also acquired a bizarre Skyworth video system.
The system's function is to allow him to shoot and produce a movie or TV series, and then base his decisions on its popularity, positive reviews, and word-of-mouth.
Later on, the show achieved phenomenal box office success or repeatedly broke viewership records.
You'll have a chance to win a prize!
To give a simple example, if he had directed the animated film Nezha 2, it would have grossed 150 billion yuan and received positive reviews.
Then you might be able to win the cultivation techniques of Li Jing, Lady Yin, and others through a lottery.
Of course, you might also draw the magic of a minor demon, or the cultivation level of one of the Twelve Golden Immortals.
The worst you might get is lotus root starch, a type of ingredient featured in movies.
It's all about luck; the higher the box office and the stronger the word-of-mouth, the greater the chance of winning something good.
If you just haphazardly shoot a bunch of stuff and it doesn't get released or achieve any results, then you won't have a chance to win a prize.
The system's function indicates that he is to work in film and television.
Regardless of future Nezha series in mainland China or The Wandering Earth, there's a chance to draw immortal and demonic power and groundbreaking black technology.
The problem is that he time-traveled last year, ostensibly taking on the identity of a 19-year-old student who failed his college entrance exam.
The mother of this character after time travel? Ishikyo Anan's mother died when he was 15 years old.
Last autumn, my father bravely rescued a tourist who had fallen into the sea, but he himself sank.
Previously, the father and son lived together in a public housing estate in the Shek Kip Mei resettlement area.
It's a rented house; the father and son from southern Jiangsu don't own the property.
Therefore, in addition to academic failure, the death of his father was also a great blow to Yuan Anan, leading to his suicide.
He's in charge of making movies? He's a complete outsider.
Even with memories of the future before time travel, how do you make your first pot of gold?
Fortunately, the system gave him a newbie gift pack, a bottle of gene potion that solved many potential problems.
The man who committed suicide, Ishikio Anan, shared the same name as him, but they only looked about 80-90% alike.
After the gene serum was perfectly adjusted, the process of absorbing and fusing memories became even smoother.
It also improves basic physical data to a certain extent, and has 10 cubic meters of personal space.
In a few months, Su Nan got to know the world and worked like a beast of burden, managing to earn his first pot of gold.
As he and Da Pao Hui walked towards the subway station, his pager went off.
After reading the letter, Su Nan smiled and said, "Brother Hui, wait for me, I'm going to make a call."
Da Pao Hui was taken aback, and together they walked towards a nearby public phone booth. "Oh, right."
"I haven't seen you much in the last two or three years, and I've noticed that you've not only grown taller."
"You've also become much more handsome. You were handsome before, but now your appearance is more eye-catching than Brother Hua or Tony Leung."
"His physique is way better than theirs."
Su Nan smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
They chatted casually until they reached a shabby phone booth. After waiting a while, Su Nan inserted coins and dialed. When the call connected, he introduced himself.
A sound of clenched teeth came from the other end of the line, "Anan, it's been three months since you borrowed 20."
"I haven't asked for interest or allowed it to accrue further, shouldn't I get an explanation?"
Su Nan's laughter remained unchanged. "Brother Tao, you're a big shot at Hutchison Whampoa. Why are you in such a hurry to chase after me for just 20?"
"You ruined my path to becoming a doctor and a lawyer, and now I have to borrow another million."
Yuan Shixiawei Anan missed one subject in last year's advanced examination.
It was because he was hit by a car driven by Hutchison Whampoa's girlfriend, Ma Wangtao, before the exam started.
After recovering from his injuries, Anan tried to seek redress but was beaten up several times by Ma Wangtao's henchmen.
This is Hutchison Whampoa, the prototype of Tung Sing in the Young and Dangerous series and Wo Luen Shing in the Triad Society: Years of Debauchery.
Then, last summer, Shixiawei Anan ran away from home, feeling ashamed of his father for not doing well on the exam.
Little did he know that after going out into the underworld, he not only failed to get an explanation, but also learned that his father had died in the line of duty.
Last December, I experienced another heartbreak, and in a fit of rage, I jumped off a cliff and shattered into pieces!
After Su Nan transmigrated and fused with the gene-infused drug, he learned about the other party's memories.
His first pot of gold was naturally from loans. On December 7th, he went to Ma Wangtao with a Black Star rifle and talked for half an hour.
Even after successfully borrowing HKD 20, it didn't end up being a case of "nine out of thirteen returns."
Atao and his underlings weren't kind-hearted people; they just started speaking more politely under Brother Heixing's witness.
Ma Wangtao took a deep breath and cursed, "You bastard, don't think you can take me down with just one Black Star weapon."
"Your father saved people and did good deeds before he died. Just because your parents are gone, does that mean you can do whatever you want?!"
Su Nan's laughter remained unchanged. "Brother Tao, don't be in such a hurry. Lend me another million."
"I guarantee I'll give you ten times the interest in a few years. You can't go wrong trusting me."
"I, Shixiawei Anan, am just lacking the first pot of gold on my entrepreneurial journey."
"My brains, which allowed me to get into the HKU Law School, will not let your angel investment go to waste."
Ma Wangtao was even angrier. "Damn it, come over tonight and give me an explanation."
"Otherwise, I'll make you take pills for a month and sell them to those rich Korean women who weigh 300 pounds each."
After the cursing ended, Atao hung up the phone.
Southern Jiangsu, "..."
He hung up the phone and, slightly melancholy, offered a cigarette to Da Pao Hui, saying, "Modern people really have poor self-control."
Da Pao Hui, "..."
The soundproofing inside and outside the dilapidated phone booth wasn't very good, so he overheard some of the conversation.
I heard about all those bigwigs from Hutchison, talking about 20 and 100 million.
After lighting a cigarette, Ahui started walking towards the subway station again. As he walked, he scratched his head and sighed, "Anan, you've really changed a lot."
After not seeing each other for two or three years, Ah Hui remembered Shixiawei Anan as having grown taller and fairer-skinned.
His facial features also became more defined and handsome.
It's quite different from the image of the absolute 007 nerd I remember.
Su Nan laughed, "Brother Hui, people grow up, don't they?"
Da Pao Hui quickly shook his head, "Just call me Ahui, you're the older brother now, Brother Nan!"
