"Brother Jie, have you eaten dinner?"

"I've eaten, I've eaten."

"Take it easy." Shen Chong took out a cup, poured a glass of water, handed it to Wen Renjie, who was sitting on the sand, shrunken his hands and feet, and joked with a smile: "You are the serious master of the eight hundred here, and I am the poor person under the fence." ”

When I was closing the property before, I had a few contacts with Wen Renjie, and I generally understood his personality - simple, introverted, talking to unfamiliar people or staying in an unfamiliar private environment, he would be very nervous, low emotional intelligence, and he would not be able to distinguish the meaning of the words according to his tone and expression when communicating, and in the eyes of others, he was a little weird.

Shen Chong felt very kind. This is the standard character of otaku in later generations...... As long as it can remove their sense of defensiveness, it is easy to communicate.

Wen Renjie took the water cup, and after taking a sip, he relaxed a lot, he pointed to the Rubik's Cube samples scattered on the coffee table, and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Oh, that's a toy I've been working on, and I'm trying to make it out for sale." Shen Chong said while cleaning up the scattered articles on the sand: "You can play and help me give some advice." ”

Wen Renjie picked up a scrambled Rubik's Cube, tried to turn it around a few times, and then stopped moving, turning over and over again, after a while, he moved his hands together, spinning, although the technique was a little jerky, but it did not stagnate, it seemed that every step was thought out in advance, and the Rubik's Cube was quickly restored.

Shen Chong had a genuine surprise on his face - whether it was in his previous life or in this life, among the people he had seen playing the Rubik's Cube for the first time, Wen Renjie's watch was the best, and he didn't rely on skills, but only relied on spatial imagination to restore the Rubik's Cube, this talent was a bit scary.

Could he be a genius?

Pushing his glasses, Wen Renjie picked up another Rubik's cube and muttered to himself while observing, "The red one spins up, and the blue one turns left......"

Soon, Wen Renjie restored all the several Rubik's cubes on the coffee table, and then arranged them in a row very neatly, tightly fitted, and the colors corresponded one by one, and then said: "This thing is a little interesting, but it's too simple." ”

Simple?

The third-order Rubik's Cube is indeed not difficult, but it is definitely not easy for ordinary people who play it for the first time.

This guy may really be a genius, and a genius with a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder......

Shen Chong grabbed an apple, threw it to Wen Renjie, and asked, "Did you quarrel with your daughter-in-law?" ”

"Nope." Wen Renjie shook his head, pushed his glasses again, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's just a small argument." ”

Debate?

Shen Chong was amused and laughed, the depression in the bookstore just now disappeared, and a trace of realization flashed in his heart - I still have to make a few more friends, I can adjust my feelings by talking casually, if you are alone, it is easy to close yourself and lose control of your mentality.

"What are you arguing about, the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States?"

"No, I don't watch the news." Wen Renjie didn't realize that Shen Chong was ridiculing and replied seriously. He opened his backpack on the edge of the sand and took out a black box with a wood grain baffle, "A-Qing, she doesn't like me playing with this." ”

"What is this?" Shen Chong didn't recognize it at first sight, but when he saw the long number of lines, he immediately reacted, "Game console? ”

"yes, Atari VCS." Wen Renjie added in a tone that only avid game lovers would understand: "The best console out there." ”

Atari Vnetbsp; Shen Chong was interested, this was the legendary ancestor of home video game consoles, he leaned over, picked up the black box, and observed it carefully.

The striped black plastic shell, wood grain bezel, square head, bulky, thick and large, with six buttons on the top, no wonder it has the nickname "Heavy Six Machine".

This crude-looking thing is an ancient artifact, a legend in the history of video game consoles.

Before it appeared, most of the so-called home game consoles came with their own monitors, and the controller was integrated on the host, the cost was too high, and the operation was not convenient.

Moreover, it uses the handle as the control unit, which improves the player's control experience.

Another killer feature of Atari VCS is the use of replaceable cartridges as game carriers, before that, games are solidified in the host Rom, once tired of playing games, the console will be scrapped, and cartridges can be constantly refurbished, which greatly extends the service life of the game console.

A revolutionary change that made the Atari VCS so popular, it was the world's best-selling home video game console before Nintendo's Fc appeared, and almost one in five households in North America owned the console.

Because of its huge sales and influence, Atari Vcs is known as the pioneering work of home video game consoles, it created a zào host, controller, game cartridge trinity mode, become the standard configuration of home video game consoles in the future, of course, with the advancement of technology, cartridges were eventually replaced by discs, but the meaning is the same, are replaceable game carriers.

Shen Chong recalled the information in his mind while thanking the Internet...... The Internet is really the greatest Ming of mankind, as long as you are interested, endless information can be picked up at your disposal, what Shen Chong knows is just the knowledge obtained from the boring forum and a nostalgic post about the Xiaobawang learning machine.

Excitedly turned on the TV, plugged in the number of jù lines, two big men, sitting side by side on the floor, began to jerk off......

That's right, they played a jerking game called Space Invaders, which, according to Wen Renjie, was ported from an arcade machine. (Note 2)

Nostalgia is a kind of feeling, it's okay to try it once in a while, if you really think that the old thing is good, it's brain-dead......

After playing for about an hour, Shen Chong couldn't stand it, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to frugality, he experienced the era of high-definition video and high-fidelity sound, it was difficult to endure the current inferior game effects, the resolution was too low, dazzling to watch, the sound effects were too noisy, and he was annoyed to listen.

Under the pretense of drinking water, Shen Chong dropped the handle and stopped playing, standing behind, seeing Wen Renjie manipulating the handle without distraction, and suddenly asked: "Brother Jie, did my sister-in-law let you sleep with the game console at night?" ”

"How do you know?" After rushing out, Wen Renjie reacted, he put down the handle, touched his head and sneered: "A-Qing, she thinks I always play games, so I ignore her." ”

Big brother, you really were born in the wrong era, and the world of game otaku in the 21st century is your stage......

Seeing that Shen Chong didn't speak, Wen Renjie picked up the handle again and continued to play the game.

Shen Chong held the back of his head with both hands, sat on the sand, looked at Wen Renjie, who was engrossed in playing the game, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, he thought about it and asked, "Did you come here and tell your sister-in-law?" ”

"No, she told me to go, and I left."

Nima, sure enough, her EQ is really low.

Shen Chong walked into the bedroom, picked up the phone book, found the number left when he traded the house before, and dialed it.

It was his mother-in-law who answered the phone, Shen Chong explained the situation in a few words, the mother-in-law was very reasonable, please ask Shen Chong to take care of Wen Renjie for a few days, and wait for her daughter to be angry, and then make arrangements, Shen Chong has nothing to do.

"My sister-in-law is very angry, and the consequences are very strict." After hanging up the phone, Shen Chong said to Wen Renjie: "You stay here for two days first to avoid the limelight." ”

"Okay." Wen Renjie didn't look back, focusing on playing games.

"You're not worried?"

"It's okay, Ah Qing does this every time, and it will be fine in a few days."

Is this low emotional intelligence or nervous bars......

Shen Chong was a little speechless, he was half lying on the sand, while reading "Movie Fortnightly", he chatted with Wen Renjie without a match,

"Brother Jie, where did you buy this game console?"

"This is what our factory produces, if Ah Chong asks you, I can help you get one, the cost price is very cheap."

"How much does it cost?"

"The market price seems to be 2oo dollars, I'll take it from the factory, 6oo yuan." (Note 3)

"Okay, you can get one for me." It's a good idea to collect this kind of commemorative antique, "Which factory do you work in?" ”

"Haida Electronics, not far from here."

Kwun Tong is the largest industrial area in Kowloon, with many factories, Haida Electronics Shen Chong has seen, and the factory building is quite large.

"What do you do?"

"I've been working on game porting lately. Now, this Space Invaders was originally the most popular game in the arcade, and it was my master and I who ported it to Atari. ”

It turned out to be a technology nerd engaged in computers, and now Shen Chong was relieved.

"Do you still have a master?"

"Of course, I used to make circuits, and I didn't know much about software, but Atari sent a ghost guy, and the technology was very powerful, so I learned from him."

……

Just chatted nonsense, and when he finished watching "Movie Fortnightly", Shen Chong basically figured out Wen Renjie's old background.

My mother died very early, my father opened a home appliance repair shop, mixed between circuit boards since childhood, self-taught, and after graduating from middle school, I entered Haida Electronics as a technician, which is a very simple life.

As for the inaugural issue of "Film Fortnightly......

A thin one, more than 7o pages, black and white printing, average quality, whether it is the layout of the layout, or the content of the article, there are some immature places, there are only two or three advertisements in the whole magazine, all of which are theatrical performances, and the overall feeling is quite shabby.

Shen Chong's manuscript was almost unchanged, and it was published in full, followed by a long editor's note, which was highly praised and praised for the article, which was refreshing and of great guiding significance for the exhibition of Hong Kong films.

Shen Chong was ashamed, he just took advantage of the crossing, others look at the future, the clouds cover the fog, he looks at the future, such as the palm of the hand, others are predicting, he is reviewing, the realm is different, the article is naturally more transparent and more convincing.

In addition to his own articles, Shen Chong also paid attention to the top ten films of 1978 selected by Hong Kong film critics.

"Drunken Fist" ranked first, "Snake Trickster" ranked fifth, and 1978 was the year of Jackie Chan's success, so it is not surprising that two films made the list.

"Solamine" second, Shen Chong is a little suspicious that this movie is ranked so high because of his manuscript.

"Fishing Across the Line" third, I haven't seen the movie, the director is quite famous, Mou Dunfu, a director known for pornography and violence, his most famous movie is "Black Sun 731", the first tertiary film after the implementation of the Hong Kong film classification system, Shen Chong was scared by this movie when he was a child.

"Serf" ranked fourth, which surprised Shen Chong, it was actually produced by Bayi Film Studio, and the mainland film ranked so high, there must be something unique, and there is a chance to find it. (Note 4)

"Deed of Sale" ranked sixth, Xu Guanwen's classic work, and the annual box office champion in 78.

"Tiger Field Chicken" ranked seventh, and director Mai Jia, one of the three giants of New Art City, has now begun to emerge.

There are four films left tied for eighth:

"Shaolin Thirty-six Rooms", a kung fu film directed by Liu Jialiang, this is a Shaw Brothers classic, with its fame and quality, ranked eighth aggrieved, but there is no way, Shaw Brothers' indoor set shooting method has fallen behind the times and is not popular.

"Lin Yazhen", Xiao Fangfang's classic comedy.

"Killing" is not very famous, and the director is not well-known, but Shen Chong has heard it, because some good people once said that this movie is the ancestor of "killing his wife and seeking Taoism" in online novels. (Note 5)

"Five Poisons", one of Zhang Che's most classic movies in the late period, has a plot of ups and downs, and is widely respected by cuLT film lovers.

"The top ten movies are the top ten...... What kind of juxtaposition, and 11 films. ”

Shen Chong couldn't help but complain after reading it, if it is like this, the strictness and authority will be greatly weakened, and the new seedlings are not mature enough.

looked at the interviews between Zheng Yuling and Liang Puzhi again, they are all popular topics, and Zheng Yuling's pictures are quite ...... It's quite life-like, I can only say that in the era when there is no PS, it is really important to find a good photographer.

There is still a long way to go, and Film Fortnight still has a long way to go.
