Chapter 199: Turning Memories into Paintings
However, this does not affect the popularity of this TV series in China, whether it is young or middle-aged and elderly, they are all watching it with relish. Fortunately, playing volleyball requires a relatively standard field, if there is no such restriction, many young people will have to learn those smashing actions like learning to throw throwing knives and splitting bricks with their bare hands!!
Speaking of hits, "Volleyball Girl" is already a passing thing, and the most popular TV series at present is also a Japanese film, called "Ashin".
The story it tells is no longer a fantasy film like "Volleyball Girl", but a true story adapted from real people and real events, and there is no place to verify the specific authenticity of Hong Tao, anyway, there is this person in history, and there is also local research, in a few years, a large chain retail organization founded by this Japanese woman will enter China.
This Japanese woman is the protagonist of the film, called Ashin, and the large retail chain she founded is Yaohan, and in general this is an inspirational film. Ashin's original form is the daughter of a tenant farmer in Yamagata Prefecture during the Meiji period of Japan, and the story tells the story of her life from the age of 7 to 84, telling the story of a woman who struggled, struggled, and started a business in order to survive.
It is said that this TV series not only has a rating of nearly 8o% in China, but also exported to Wanwan, Singapore, Egypt, Vietnam, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Iran and other places, and has also caused quite a stir in Japan.
It's a pity. Such a good film and television work can't attract Hong Tao to take a second look, because he has already seen it in his previous life. And this kind of parental style is not his interest, so after breakfast, he turned off the TV, hung one left arm, and prepared to go out for a walk.
In fact, Hongtao is already very familiar with this area, starting from the Drum Tower and Bell Tower in the east and going to the Metropolitan Gymnasium in the west. In the north, it runs from North Taipingzhuang and Madian to the south to today's Ping'an Street. They were all areas where he was more active back then. Let's just put it this way, in the three years of junior high school and the three years of high school, he spent more than half of his time wandering around the gates of various middle schools in Xicheng, fighting around with a group of social bastards.
Due to the need for such a difficult job as fighting. He is not only familiar with the streets, but also with the alleys, because after winning, he has to drill the small alleys to avoid the pursuit of the police, and after defeating, he has to rely on the terrain to be familiar with the streets, and walk through the streets and alleys to escape the double pursuit of the victors and the police, so as a bad boy who is keen on fighting, figure out where every alley in the neighborhood leads there, whether there is a fork in the road, and whether it is a dead end. It is a top priority to put the personal safety that is directly related to you.
But familiar is familiar, these things are in the mind after all. And with the changes of the times, most of the streets are no longer human. In his previous life, Hong Tao had not been to Qianmen for a few years, but one day he suddenly had to go over to do something, and after driving to the place, he didn't know how to go. I parked over and asked for directions, but I asked the police uncle to arrest him. Illegal parking!
At that time, Hong Tao was so wronged that he had to beg the policeman, saying that he really didn't mean it, but because he hadn't been here for a few years, the streets had changed a lot. The policeman was good-tempered, neither deducted points nor fined, and deliberately pointed out a clear way to Hong Tao. In addition to thanking the policeman, Hong Tao has also been thinking: Where is my original city? Is there any way to make it stay a little longer?
There must be a way, of course, Hong Tao does not intend to block the modernization of the city, and he can't stop it if he wants to, no matter what, this is progress in the general direction. At that time, most of the old buildings and streets had been demolished, and there was nowhere to take pictures if he wanted to, and now, Hong Tao was just going to fulfill this wish, so he hung the camera around his neck and went out.
Now Hong Tao no longer uses the seagull camera, on the 28th of the lunar month, the department store began to openly sell Konica and Siaka two Japanese imported cameras, but they are not in stock, and they need to be paid in advance and picked up within half a year. Even so, it is still impossible to buy, and the number of people queuing up to pay in advance with the money is several times higher than the number of cameras.
Of course, Hong Tao doesn't have to suffer from that, he is a person with foreign exchange coupons, and there are not only Japanese brand cameras in the friendship store, but also a few European ones, but out of his own familiarity.
This camera was very advanced at the time, it already had the prototype of a point-and-shoot camera, although it was not yet auto-zoom, but the clever Japanese solved this problem with a dual-focal length interchangeable part, called a dual-focal length camera. When using a 38mm lens, it's no different from a regular pocket camera, while with a 7o mm lens, the lens sticks forward and a set of rear lenses in the lens barrel fall in its entirety, achieving the unique feature of a dual focal length.
In this way, when you want to take photos of ordinary people, you can use a 38mm lens, and when you want to shoot a long shot, you can switch to a 7o mm lens by flipping the switch at the bottom left of the lens. When Hong Tao first bought it, he mainly liked its function, for his own photography mallet, it can save a lot of things, and it can waste a lot of film, after all, color film in this era is very expensive, and it is not easy to buy, most of them are exchanged for foreign exchange coupons.
In addition to the more advanced zoom function, its flash prompt, for example, is placed on the back of the pop-up flash, which can remind the operator not to forget the charging flash and avoid unnecessary battery drain. For example, it also has an automatic DX coding system, which can automatically identify ISO25 to 16OO films, but non-DX encoded films can only use ISO1OO one, if the roll is not properly loaded, the camera will give an audible warning to avoid mistakes.
With an imported pocket camera coaxing on his chest and a plaster left arm of his own, Hong Tao stalked to the front of the drum tower. Looking at this stupidly tall brick and wood city tower, Hong Tao clicked a few photos first, not only the drum tower, but also the surrounding buildings. In the 21st century, these things are gone.
After filming the drum tower, there is a bell tower behind, the height is similar to the drum tower, but it is a brick and stone structure, originally this side should be called the bell and drum tower, but everyone wants to save trouble, and the bell word is saved.
Between the drum tower and the bell tower, there is a distance of about two or three hundred meters, at this time it is still a big open space, but in a few years, there will be an earliest snack street in the capital, gathered almost all the snack varieties in the capital, many are the inheritors of the time-honored brand, and it was also very famous at that time, called Zhonglou Bay. At noon and evening, foodies from all over the city gather here, and they can be tossed and turned until late before closing.
It's a pity that Hong Tao doesn't have this mouth now, and he doesn't have the energy to plan a stall here to operate, but the residential houses next to him can be calculated, and if he can get one or two of them, it will be a cash cow at that time.
"Let the second master come back to inquire in a few days and see if there is a house to buy!" Hong Tao took a few more photos around the bell tower, and continued to walk south while touching the houses around the square.
In front of the drum tower, is the street outside Di'anmen, which is also the junction of Dongcheng and Xicheng, but the interesting thing is that the houses on both sides of this street are under the jurisdiction of Xicheng, that is to say, all the doors and faces belong to Xicheng, and I don't know how the two urban districts were divided in the first place, why not directly use the street as a natural demarcation? Is there anything special about doing this? Hong Tao has never figured out the principle of this, and he has asked people from several government departments, but he doesn't know why.
In general, this street is not very prosperous at present, from the front of the drum tower to the intersection of Di'anmen, a total of one kilometer away, only one Di'anmen shopping mall is still a commercial outlet, and the rest is not a big deal, oh, by the way, the Di'anmen snack bar at the intersection is also a more popular place.
However, the street is not lively, it does not mean that there is no lively place here, in addition to the street, there are not alleys. There are many more famous businesses in the capital that are hidden in the alleys, which can be regarded as a feature, the aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alleys, and there are also specific expressions on this street.
Exit from the Drum Tower, walk along the west side of the road, the first alley, that's it, it has a very strange name, called Yandai Xiejie. The streets of the capital are generally horizontal and vertical, either east-west or north-south, all of which are very regular, and there are not many places where there are diagonal streets. And this diagonal street just connects the Silver Ingot Bridge and the street outside, which is a shortcut to enter Houhai and Qianhai.
The name of this street has a long history, it was in the Qing Dynasty, the street is full of traders, and the goods sold are dry tobacco pouches and hookahs, so it is named after it, called Tobacco Bag Diagonal Street.
At this time, there are no shops selling dry tobacco pis and hookahs in Xiejie, but it is still very lively, because there is a bathhouse here, and there is an endless stream of people who come to take a bath every day, which naturally drives the surrounding business. Further inside, according to Hong Tao's memory, it should be a state-run tavern, a private bun shop, and then the back kitchen of the barbecue season. (To be continued)
