No.262 Projector collector
"Uncle, this ...... What's going on? ”
Wang Mingyuan watched the old man squatting on the ground, tremblingly pulling up the film on the ground in the tattered turntable, and even the bits and pieces on the ground were carefully picked up cleanly, with a look of pity and sadness.
Looking at the front cover of his car, but the iron box that was thrown down was smashed out of the dented pit, he couldn't help but say: "This is throwing things out of the window on the second floor, the loss is to hit the car, if it hits people, it's not good, this is an iron box for film roll." ”
The old man's attention fell on Wang Mingyuan's car, and he apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... It's not intentional, I'll pay for it, I'll go for repairs, I'll pay as much as I should accompany! ”
"It's not a big deal, you don't need to accompany you, you can drive to the repair shop, and you can get it done in half an hour......" Wang Mingyuan didn't want people to feel that he was suspected of slandering, and besides, his car was not expensive, and he didn't care about the money.
After a pause, Wang Mingyuan then asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with your family?" I'm listening to the noise, is there something wrong with me? ”
"It was my eldest son who went out just now, he was losing money in business, he was in a bad mood, and when he came home, he saw me tinkering with these things at home, and he thought I was spending money indiscriminately, and then he was angry and sprinkled on me."
The old man raised the scattered film in his hand: "I usually don't have any hobbies, I just like to collect these old movie projectors or something, these things, I used to accompany me for most of my life, and now, I can't see them anymore, it's a hobby, it's also a thought." ”
Wang Mingyuan nodded.
When he saw this old man, Wang Mingyuan estimated his age, which was about the same as his late grandfather, and they were all people who came from that era.
I didn't know about my grandfather's past before, and wondered if he went to Zhangjiaao to live alone, but now, after understanding what happened, he also understands the reason.
They are all people with stories.
When they are old, most of them are nostalgic, and the past is vivid, and they are all looking for spiritual support.
Grandfather Wang Baochang's support is the land of Zhangjiaao, and for this old man, his support is these collected things.
But I heard the old man continue: "In the future, I'm afraid that these things won't be able to be collected, so I thought about it and disposed of these old guys." ”
"Handled? What you cherish for a lifetime, how can you give it up? Wang Mingyuan didn't know why, he really felt a little empathy, probably stayed there for a long time in 80 years, and was affected by some influences.
"I'm reluctant to do it, after dealing with it, I can change some money, and it's difficult for my son, so I can help make up for it!" The old man sighed slightly, and suddenly asked, "Young man, why do I look at you?" ”
"I'm right behind your house, the house I just bought not long ago, the renovation was completed, and I just moved in yesterday." Wang Mingyuan smiled slightly: "I will be a neighbor in the future, and I will sit at home when I have time." ”
"Okay...... old man smiled and nodded: "Your car ......"
"It's fine, I can handle it myself!" Wang Mingyuan waved his hand, got into the car and drove to leave, but after walking not far, he stopped the car again, lowered the window, poked his head out, and asked the old man who turned around and walked back: "Uncle, can you show me those movie projectors?" If I'm really going to deal with it, I'd like to buy one. ”
In the early 80s, people's biggest entertainment was probably watching movies.
After walking around March Street in Dali, I saw "Five Golden Flowers" once in the city, and the unprecedented grand occasion of the crowd is the best proof.
Even if it's the same movie, as long as you have the opportunity to watch it, you won't feel tired.
Now, the farm in Tiankeng and Zhangjiaao, it won't take long for the electricity to be connected, the electricity is only used for lighting, I'm afraid it's a bit overkill, you can get a movie projector to go over, and also add some fun to everyone's evening life.
In the 80s, in some cities, a very small number of televisions began to enter the homes of some people with better conditions, and most people had to start having televisions until the mid-to-late 80s.
Wang Mingyuan has considered improving everyone's spiritual entertainment through television, and there is also a news broadcast, which can allow everyone to see the outside world and learn more about the outside situation.
By the way, the news broadcast was launched on January 1, 1978.
With insight, the horizon will naturally be broadened, and many things will be done more measured and courageous.
However, Wang Mingyuan did not experience the experience of using TV in that era, but he heard his grandfather say that the signal of TV at that time depended on an antenna, and at that time, there were not so many TV broadcast satellites in the sky, so it was very common for snowflakes to explode on the screen, turn the antenna supported high, and look for signals.
Of course, at that time, it was absolutely enviable to ask anyone to have a TV.
Whenever the TV is played, the courtyard must be full of people, whether it is adults or children, no exception, and even sometimes, I feel that I can look at the dazzling snowflakes on the TV with only black and white, and I feel novel and comfortable.
Especially on Tuesday, the TV station is closed and stops broadcasting, and in other time periods, even if it is broadcast normally, at 12 o'clock in the evening, it will be off the air after work, which is called an ordeal.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the production schedules of each company have even begun to change around the TV series that will be broadcast.
It's really painful and happy.
Like now, the operation is becoming more and more complicated, and the TV is becoming more and more unpleasant to watch, more often, it plays the role of decorations.
Probably, the only advantage is that there are not so many commercials, and you can watch an episode of TV in its entirety.
It wasn't until a few years later that the advertising business began to show a few minutes of TV in the middle of an episode, and then a short segment of TV was inserted in the commercial.
Do you remember the "spread the word" at that time?
However, Zhangjiaao and Tiankeng Farm are obviously inappropriate.
In the city, there is still a worry about the extreme instability of the signal, let alone in such a big mountain, even now, there is no need for signal boosters in the bee farm, and the mobile phone network signal cannot be used, it can be imagined.
The TV is not good, but the movie can!
As long as there's film on film, it's fine.
Moreover, it is now 80 years, and movies are still mainstream for a long time, and it is not until the 90s that the video recorder enters the public eye, followed by lasers, and then DVDs......
In other words, there are at least ten years of use, and as for movies, there is no shortage in these years, and you can find a lot of them in the thrift market or up.
Hearing Wang Mingyuan's shout, the old man opened the door again: "Okay, follow me!" ”
Wang Mingyuan drove the car directly into the old man's yard to avoid blocking the road, and after getting out of the car, he followed the old man into the villa.
He was taken to the side window room on the second floor, and when he opened the door, he saw nearly thirty old movie projectors of all kinds covered by glass covers.
In the corner of one wall, there is an old-fashioned speaker made of wooden planks and covered with traces of time.
On the other side, there are hundreds of tin boxes on a wooden shelf, Wang Mingyuan knows that they are all those movie films back then.
The whole room is arranged more like a showroom for an old-fashioned movie projector.
For a while, Wang Mingyuan suddenly had a feeling of stepping into the long river of history and going against the current.
"This is really not a small stroke!"
