Chapter 2: Brother Fas Shanghai Bund, a chance to make money! [Seeking collection and recommendation votes]

  Two days have passed.

  To test whether he could enter, Niu Bi bought chickens, ducks and geese at the market, tied them with a rope and threw them into the shadow gate. After nearly a hundred experiments of various kinds, they all came out unscathed. The gray wolf that had entered the light gate multiple times was still alive and kicking.

  On the 3rd day, after Cowell got off work in the early morning, he took out his flashlight after finishing breakfast.

  He decided to go in and try it out himself.

  First, the door was pushed open, then the flashlight was fixed on the living room table, and after twisting the button, a white light gate appeared on the living room wall. On that side, there was still a large Chinese parasol tree, but the big yellow dog was no longer there.

  Niú Bì took out a sturdy rope, tied one end to the anti-theft window and the other end to his waist, looked at the rectangular shadow of the door for half a moment, gritted his teeth and stepped in.

  The scene in front of me changed, and it seemed like a large family's backyard.

  The yard is about the size of a basketball court, planted with all kinds of ornamental trees, and surrounded by walls that are over one person high.

  In the middle of the garden, there is a small pond about ten meters in diameter, with artificial hills and goldfish playing inside.

  The water surface is covered with fallen leaves, and the water quality is turbid, with unknown depth.

  By the wall, under a large Chinese scholar tree as thick as a man's hug, a light door of over one person tall appeared, emitting milky white light.

  It's flashlight under the door.

  Seeing no one in the courtyard, Niu Bi turned around and stepped into the light gate. In a flash, he found himself back in the living room.

  "There shouldn't be any danger!"

  Niu Bi tried again and again for more than a dozen times, and finally untied the rope around his waist and stepped directly into the Shadow Shuttle Gate.

  Standing in the yard, Niu Bi vaguely heard someone's voice outside the wall, and quietly climbed up to the wall along the big Chinese scholar tree.

  Before one's eyes is a street with few pedestrians.

  Rickshaws, pedestrians wearing long gowns or Zhongshan suits, street vendors wandering around, and even patrolling soldiers...

  "This... this is the MG era! I just don't know which year it was?"

  Niu Bi decided to go and understand first, where he was in the MG era, what year it was, whether it was parallel or another space.

  He caught sight of his own attire and his footsteps came to a halt as he returned to reality.

  Three hours later, Niu Bi dressed in a long shirt and cloth shoes, disguising himself as a Republic of China-era style, climbed out of the wall and walked along the street.

  In the distance of the street, a thin man pulled a yellow rickshaw and came over.

  "Brother Fa!?"

  Niu Bi took a glance and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

  How did I run into Chow Yun-fat here?

  Niubie felt a bit unbelievable, in reality Chow Yun-fat was already 60 years old, but this Chow Yun-fat was only in his early 20s.

  That familiar face of the young man on the car, the white scarf around his neck, and the raised legs, looks extremely handsome. If it's not Chow Yun-fat, who is it?

  A rickshaw drove by in front of him, and Niu Bi confirmed that he wasn't mistaken - it was really Chow Yun-fat!

  "What's going on? In this world of MG era, I saw a young Fa Ge!"

  To clear up the doubts in his mind, Niu Bi followed from a distance.

  The rickshaw went forward, passing seven or eight streets, and stopped in front of a nicely decorated theater. The driver adjusted his hat and entered the theater.

  Niu Bi was just about to go and take a look when he heard a burst of angry shouting coming from afar.

  "Get out of here! Drop the tape!"

  "Are you looking for death?! How dare you steal things in our theater?!"

  “......”

  At the entrance of the theater, a tall and thin man wearing a black top hat rushed towards Niu Bi, with four or five young men in short jackets shouting and chasing after him.

  "Alas... brother, don't get involved..."

  Seeing the man rushing towards him, Niu Bi's words were left unspoken as he was knocked off balance and a large black pancake fell at his feet.

  "Get the hell out of here!"

  "You can't be killed!"

  “......”

  A loud curse came over, and the tall, thin man who had just been running wildly was seen lying on the ground, being beaten by a young man in a short jacket.

  Niu Di unconsciously picked up the round pancake on the ground and was stunned. "Huh, isn't this a VHS tape that's been trampled to pieces?"

  "Hello, friend."

  A young man with a white scarf stood in front of him. Niu Bi raised his head and took a look, and it was actually the young man who looked like Chow Yun-fat earlier!

  "Hello, is this yours?" Niu Bi smiled and handed the tape to the young man.

  "Yes."

  The young man took the tape and shook hands with Niu Bi. "Thanks to my friend for blocking this person just now, if the film was snatched, it would delay the screening later, thank you so much!"

  "No need to apologize, it was this person who bumped into me."

  "Anyway, thanks a lot, what should I call you, friend?" the young man said.

  "My surname is Niu, and my given name is Yi."

  "Mr. Niu Bi, I'm Xu Wenqiang, currently working at Mei Hua Theatre, nice to meet you!" The young man said with a smile.

  Boom!

  Xu Wenqiang!

  Mei Wah Theatre!

  "This is the Shanghai Bund world! The flashlight door that communicates with the Shanghai Bund world is actually the Shanghai Bund world! And it's the Fa Ge version!" Niu Bi suddenly felt a burst of thunder in his mind!

  Shanghai Bund, classic!

  The role of Xu Wenqiang played by Stephen Chow has been cast.

  So, will Big Brother Feng Jingyao, Feng Chengcheng, and Lü Liangwei's Ding Li also appear in the sequel?

  Judging from what has just happened, the robbery of the video tape incident shows that the Shanghai Beach storyline has only just begun.....

  And what's more, this young man who looks like Chow Yun-fat values this worthless VHS tape so much that Niu Bi's heart is racing with excitement. This outdated thing is abundant in the real world, it's a great opportunity to make money!

  Niubie was well aware that during the Republic of China era, nightlife was scarce and it was a time when people would go to bed early. There were hardly any places for entertainment, so old movies became extremely popular.

  Wouldn't it be great if we could make some video tapes in real life!

  "Mr. Niu, Mr. Niu! You... you're not hurt, are you?"

  Unaware of Niu Bi's daydreaming, Xu Wenqiang thought he was injured by the person who snatched his belt earlier and patted him on the shoulder with concern.

  "Ah, it's nothing, nothing. It's just that your name is exactly the same as a friend of mine, so... I'm a bit surprised." Niu Bi made up an excuse, naturally not revealing that he came from the real world.

  "What a coincidence! It seems I have a fate with Mr. Niu!" Xǔ Wénqiáng smiled and nodded in agreement.

  "It's more than just fate!"

  Niu Bi thought to himself and looked at the tape, saying: "Mr. Xu, isn't this tape hard to get?"

  "Yes, this film was acquired by our theater at a great cost and is often out of stock." Xǔ Wénqiáng handed the tape to the young man in a short jacket behind him.

  "It cost an arm and a leg!"

  Niu Bi heard this and was overjoyed in his heart, such a popular VHS tape is actually out of stock despite its high price, this is the rhythm of my rise to power!

  "Mr. Niu, you've helped me so much, why don't I treat you to a movie?" Xu Wenqiang invited.

  "In that case, I won't decline then. It's just right, I haven't watched a movie in a long time!"

  Niú Bì's heart moved slightly, he also wanted to take a look at what kind of movies were being shown during this period.

  "I went... hand-cranked movie projector?"

  The cinema had about three hundred seats, and it was packed with people. Niu Bi squeezed in at the edge of the window and as soon as he saw the projection equipment, his heart skipped a beat - apart from the tapes, this projector was another way to make money!

  Bring some old-fashioned film projectors back to modern times and they can instantly kill this hand-cranked antique in front of us.

  The film being projected is a classic play from the Republic of China period, "Zhuangzi's Trial of His Wife", starring Li Minwei and Yan Shanshan, in black and white, with images formed by light projection, and the characters' movements are somewhat stiff and jerky, with an estimated frame rate of 12-16 frames per second.

  Another is caused by uneven hand speed of the projectionist.

  After watching the movie, Niu Bi had already made up his mind and bid farewell to Xu Wenqiang before returning to modern times.

  "It's actually connected to the TV series Shanghai Bund! It's really great!"

  Niu Bi thought of that classic film and television show, which was a story that took place in old Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s.

  At that time, old Shanghai was warlord-dominated, lacking in supplies, and flooded with foreign goods.

  If you go through the shuttle gate, anything you bring from reality will become a foreign product. It's hard not to make money!

  Niu Bi decided to start with the VHS player and make a fortune first.
