Chapter 1244: Times are different
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, and the door was closed from the inside.
The ride-hailing driver started his car and headed for the Bee flagship store three blocks away.
In the back seat, Wang Shan turned his head to see the phone in Yuan Yang's hand, and bumped his shoulder into him, "What are you reading?
"It's not a new book," Yuan Yang shook his head, "Journey to the East." ”
"Huh?" said Wang, taken aback, "and such a book?"
Looking back at him, "How did you get to be in your childhood?
"I think I've seen it," Wang Shan said uncertainly, "This is an adaptation of a TV series, why did you remember to watch this?"
"It's not an adaptation of a TV series, it's an adaptation of a TV series, and 'Journey to the East' was written by people from the Ming Dynasty. ”
"Aha, the Ming Dynasty had a 'Journey to the East'?"
"More than that," Yuan Yang smiled and stretched out his right hand, "In addition to 'Journey to the West' and 'Journey to the East', the Ming Dynasty also wrote 'Journey to the North' and 'Journey to the South', and the four books are collectively called 'Four Travels'." By the way, the last three books are all related to a Hu Jian bookseller named Yu Xiangdou, the Journey to the East was commissioned by him to be written by Wu Yuantai, and the Journey to the North and South was written by himself, of course, it may be just a name. ”
Lao Wang was stunned: "I'll go, can I still play like this? Forcibly rubbing the IP, this should be regarded as infringement, right?"
"There is indeed a suspicion of infringement, but the ancient government did not have such a good sense of copyright. Besides, the author of "Journey to the West" is a century-old unsolved case, and I'm afraid no one can sue him. ”
"Isn't it Wu Chengen?"
"No, none of the extant 'Journey to the West' ancient books are signed by Wu Chengen. This person was actually researched by Lu Xun, based on the "Huai'an Mansion Chronicles" during the Ming Dynasty's Apocalypse, and Hu Shi also expressed support after reading his evidence. With the endorsement of these two powerful people, Wu Chengen became the original author in the general opinion. But there are too many loopholes in it, and version research experts don't agree with this statement. ”
"It's not Wu Chengen, then who is it?"
"That's the problem," Yuan Yang spread his hands, "The Three Kingdoms, the Water Margin, the Journey to the West, and the Fengshen are all legends first, and then there are Song Dynasty script artists who add oil and vinegar to create them, and finally a Ming Dynasty author collates and revises them and publishes them." In ancient times, the awareness of copyright was weak, various bookstores copied and reproduced each other, and families also copied each other in vests, and there were many books with similar names and plots on the market, even experts could not tell who was the real original author. By the way, on the 'Journey to the West' printed in the Qing Dynasty, the author's signature was Changchun Zhenrenqiu, and it was later changed to Wu Chengen by Lu Xun and Hu Shi. ”
"Qiu Chuji, isn't he a character?"
Yuan Yang rolled his eyes, "Wang Chongyang, Qiu Chuji, and Yin Zhiping do have people in history, and they are the first, fifth, and sixth generation leaders of the Quanzhen Sect respectively. The Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Sect has always had a complicated perception of the 'Condor Heroes', and there are also reasons for this, even if the newly revised version has been changed to Zhen Zhibing, ordinary people will say that it is Yin Zhiping when they mention it. ”
"Okay," Wang Shan was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly asked to hide his embarrassment, "Then 'Journey to the West' was written by Qiu Chuji?"
"It's unlikely, Qiu Chuji is the leader of the Quanzhen Sect and the leader of the Dao Sect in the world, how can he have the leisure time to write a story about a monk learning scriptures. ”
"Oh," Wang nodded, and then looked at his phone, "How's it, is it pretty?"
"It's okay, it's quite a big brain. It's just that the power system is not rigorous, and Guanyin and the Eight Immortals are too powerful. ”
Hearing Yuan Yang say this, Wang Shan asked curiously: "How powerful is it?"
"The mana is nothing, at most the Eight Immortals overthrew Mount Tai and filled up the East China Sea, and Guanyin scooped Mount Tai up and put it back in place. ”
"Wait, it doesn't seem enough to fill the East China Sea with Mount Tai, right?" Wang Shan suddenly became interested, and took out his mobile phone to check the information, "According to the official website of the scenic spot, the area of Mount Tai is 426 square kilometers, and with this data, it is still a little short to fill in Jiaozhou Bay, and it is still a little bit to fill in the East China Sea of 770,000 square kilometers, I'm afraid there is no hope!"
Yuan Yang had probably heard of the area data of Mount Tai and Jiaozhou Bay, and nodded immediately and said, "This is indeed the case in terms of area alone. However, you ignore the fact that 426 is only the area of Mount Tai, which does not include the surrounding mountains, which also belonged to Mount Tai in ancient times. ”
"What if you count it?" Lao Wang still disagreed, "The volume gap is too big, even if all the mountain ranges in North China are flattened, it will still not be able to fill the East China Sea." ”
"What, if you are serious, you will lose, Taishan in the real world is not good, it does not mean that Taishan in mythology is not good," Yuan Yang responded with a smile when he heard it, "Taishan has a special status in mythology, and the earth and stone have mana power, and there may be infinite proliferation characteristics similar to the earth." ”
Dayu's water control soil has come out, but this time it was Lao Wang's turn to roll his eyes, "Okay, you really shouldn't care about this." ”
He stopped talking, but Yuan Yang continued: "This book is actually a bestseller of the Ming Dynasty, and all popular elements are stuffed into it, and there is a faint feeling of infinite flow. ”
"Infinite Stream, there is also the main god space in it?"
"This is not true, but the time span of this book is very large, from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, so that the eight immortals are like all kinds of trouble-making time and space travelers, Tie Guan Li apprenticed to Lao Tzu, but mistakenly released the green ox to plague the Western Regions Great Qin; Zhong Liquan was a general of the Han Dynasty, and he led the army to meet the Tubo first and then lost all the soldiers and horses; Lu Dongbin was even more fierce, mixed into the Song and Liao confrontations, and put down seventy-two Tianmen arrays to be difficult for the Yang generals. In the back, the scene is even bigger, first the battle against the Dragon King of the Four Seas, and then the battle against 200,000 heavenly soldiers, the Jade Emperor, Monkey King, Taishang Laojun, Rulai, and Guanyin Master all appeared, and it felt like wearing it into Journey to the West. ”
"It's really a bit like," laughed the old king, "but how did you remember to read this kind of ancient book?"
Yuan Yang shook his phone, "It's a little greasy to brush the biography every day and make fragments, so I'll look for the original book to change the taste." ”
Since the card element has been introduced, Blue Fireball will naturally not let go of the card drawing, synthesis, star promotion, and exchange gameplay that are standard in card games, and it has also launched a mobile phone terminal that focuses on card development gameplay. Because the game has not yet been officially launched, the krypton gold card drawing function has not been turned on yet, so Yuan Yang has to repeatedly clear the biography mode to collect character fragments.
"Hey," Wang grinned, "What's the hurry? When the game is officially launched, there will be no problems with the game." ”
Yuan Yang shook his head when he heard this, "There are dozens of people in a team, and it is not enough to draw hundreds of people." ”
"But a few more times. ”
"I thought, but it's a pity that I don't have any money," Yuan Yang rubbed his hands helplessly, "I saw my mother-in-law, and my purse suffered tens of thousands of injuries." ”
"It doesn't matter," Lao Wang comforted, "These are all necessary upfront investments, and they can be earned back with interest in the future." ”
"How do you make money? Sell your wife and children?"
Wang Shan smiled and nodded, "It's also a way, you can think about it." ”
"This method, it's better to keep it for your own use!" Yuan Yang opened his mouth and replied, and immediately changed the topic, "I don't know what Bee Mobile plans to release this time?"
Unlike users, these editors rarely read articles on their own sites, especially other people's pages. If it weren't for Lao Wang calling him to go with him when he left, Yuan Yang wouldn't have known that Bee Mobile had opened his mind again, and he actually planned to rely on offline stores around the country to hold a 50-city simulcast press conference.
"What else can there be? ”
Lao Yuan almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, "This still needs you to say, what type of mobile phone I want to ask." ”
Hearing this, Wang Shan flipped out the invitation letter and shook it twice, "From this point of view, it should be a folding screen mobile phone, and it will cooperate with DoCoMo." ”
"Oh?" Yuan Yang stretched out his hand to pass over, looking down.
Compared with the tricks that bees and friends have done before, they are obviously back to basics this time. The invitation in his hand did not use strange and irrelevant objects, but was just two pieces of wood-grain cardboard folded in half, the cover was printed with the logo of the bee moving and the time of the press conference, and the inside page was a format set in the form of pointing out the time and place.
"It looks a little ordinary, how do you see that?"
"Observation skills are not good, middle-aged!"
When he asked for the invitation, Wang Shan flipped his wrist and pointed the bottom of the cardboard at Yuan Yang, "Did you find anything?"
"Nope. I don't have good eyesight, you can just say it. ”
"Look here," the former's fingers wiped over the cardboard creases, "the shape of this part is different from the general one, not the usual 'V' shape, more rounded like a 'U' shape, does it feel like a Surface Book."
"It's just that the bending force is not in place, and you can relate too much. ”
Lao Wang collapsed, opened the jam again, and pointed to the rounded border on the edge of the inner page, "Does it look like a full screen?"
"It's just a dark pattern on the inside page. ”
Wang Shan pointed to the stupid little yellow parrot on the inside page, "You always know this, right? ”
"It's just an emoji that went viral unexpectedly. ”
Then turn the cardboard back to show him the back, Lao Wang made a last move: "Pay attention here, this is a dual camera, this is a flash, this is a bee logo, with the entire outline, is it a large mobile phone?"
Yuan Yang continued to shake his head, "It's just three circles, and I'm also convinced of your brain replenishment ability." ”
"Hey," Lao Wang was completely speechless, and closed the invitation, "Having said so much, I can't help it if you don't believe me." ”
"Folding screen mobile phones are indeed a bit cool, but the technical requirements are very high, if you make it into an island country, it is better not to do it. ”
It seems that inspired by the success of Nintendo's NDS handheld, the island manufacturer was the first to think of launching a folding dual-screen phone.
Kyocera launched a foldable phone called the KSP8000 in 2012 that uses a rotatable stand to connect two 3.5-inch screens that can be used separately or opened to become a small 4.7-inch tablet.
Two years later, island operator DoCoMo and Neon Electric NEC jointly launched the MEDIAS mobile phone. It uses a similar dual-screen folding design, but the bracket is replaced with a hinge, while the single screen size is expanded to 4.3 inches, and the resolution, memory, and processor are upgraded accordingly.
Unfortunately, due to the screen technology at the time, the screen bezels of these two products are extremely conspicuous, and there is an obvious black bar in the middle when composing a tablet, and the display effect is not outstanding. What's worse is that due to the lack of dedicated support from application vendors, the hardware performance is not strong enough, and the advantages of dual-screen operation have not been brought into play, but the large size and short battery life have affected the user experience. Because the advantages could not be played to cover the disadvantages, the two creative and unique products quickly disappeared and did not have much impact.
"Hey, at this time and that time," Lao Wang shook his head when he heard this, "Now there is an OLED flexible screen, and there are several single-screen folding concept mobile phones, and it should not be far from the real listing." ”
"Last year, you said you could use a folding phone this year, but why haven't you seen it yet?"
This is indeed Wang Shan's original words, he thought about it and explained: "It's not enough for the mobile phone to be folded, and it also needs the full support of the application manufacturer." To the extent that tablets are not welcomed, it is normal for mobile phone manufacturers to hesitate. ”
Aroused by these words, Yuan Yang couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, why is the tablet suddenly not working?"
"It's not all of a sudden," Wang shook his head, "there have been signs since 13 or 14 years. The small size is hung by the large-screen mobile phone, and the large size is not as easy to use as the notebook. In addition, tablets are more durable than mobile phones, and the power of user replacement is insufficient, so manufacturers naturally want to shrink the front, either to make mobile phones or deformation notebooks. ”
Yuan Yang was about to speak, when he suddenly felt that his body shook slightly, but his destination had arrived. didn't say much at the moment, each packed up his things and got out of the car, and walked briskly towards his destination.
After checking the invitation at the door, the two walked into the bee flagship store on the first floor of the shopping mall.
The hall has been visibly rearranged, with display table shelves and lounge chairs removed, and only a few rows of folding chairs on the floor, mostly occupied. Some of them have the logos of local newspapers and TV stations, while others don't look like media people, like digital influencers, reviewers, and the like.
With so many people invited to the island city alone, the scale of the entire 50-city simulcast press conference is obviously not small.
Sweeping his gaze over the venue, Yuan Yang couldn't help but feel stunned by the bee's generosity, "This doesn't look like the style of bees!"
"Times are different," Wang Shan was a little disapproving, "Looking at the many people who came, in fact, most of them were newspaper reporters and Internet celebrities." Newspapers are declining, there are many Internet celebrities, and the appearance fee of these people is actually not much. ”
went to the service desk to get the conference equipment, and the two hurriedly found a place to sit down.
Before the press conference began, Yuan Yang looked down at the bag he had just received, which contained a lot of things, including a NexT2 headset, a somatosensory tracking bracelet, a gimbal camera with a selfie light, as well as drinks, tissues, and a sticky note book. The headset needs to be returned afterwards, but the rest is a giveaway.
In addition to these, there is a white hard-shell book in the bag, but when you open it, it is a full-color picture book of classic folding phones.
Wang Shan also saw this album, and immediately hit him with a heavy shoulder, "What else do you have to say now?"
Bee specifically summarized the development history of folding mobile phones, apparently hinting that a folding mobile phone will be launched, and there is a high probability that it will be a folding screen mobile phone.
The latter was also aware of this, but still said stiffly: "It could also be a flip phone." ”
"Hey, do you believe what you said?" looked at someone who had nothing to say proudly, Wang Shan took out his notebook and put it on his knees, and began to code up the live broadcast post.
