Chapter 3: The TV is broken
Su Bai looked forward to his new life a little, and after a while, the time came to 2:45 in the afternoon.
There were still 15 minutes before the show aired, and two more elderly people in a group arrived in a hurry.
Like everyone else, the first thing the two old men did when they came in was to put themselves in front of the TV and prepare the recliner in the activity center, and then they buried themselves on the coffee table and drank a cup of hot tea under the warm greeting of everyone.
Su Bai looked at the sky outside, which was a little darker, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: If this is not love......
In fact, he really didn't expect that there would be people coming in weather like today, and now it seems that he is too young.
Although this atmosphere is really good, the "empty nest" old people gather in front of the TV to get high together, relieve loneliness, and sweep away loneliness.
But in such bad weather, they are all seventy or eighty, and Su Bai is really afraid that something will happen to them on the road.
They have even begun to worry about how they will go back if it rains heavily.
The rain brought by the tail of the wind is no joke, and it is not good that a rainstorm can last you for a few days, and most floods caused by typhoons occur at this time.
While worried, Su Bai was even more curious about this old opera show on Zhushui Channel, after all, he was actually watching it for the first time in the real sense.
According to Su Bai's current understanding, the "Liyuan Cantonese Rhyme" program that everyone is waiting for is an antique-level local opera program that has been broadcast for 32 years.
The format of the program is very simple, the host first explains the knowledge points related to opera, then intersperses with interviews with some famous opera artists, and finally plays some classic Cantonese opera works, the main audience is the local middle-aged and elderly people.
Zhushui Channel, which produced and broadcast the program, although it is a terrestrial channel that has not been on the stars, has captured the attention and praise of countless local audiences since its inception with its localization, entertainment, and adherence to the "Cantonese flavor" route, and it is the veritable first Cantonese channel in the mainland in this parallel time and space.
For the local middle-aged and elderly people, as long as they see the station logo, countless good memories and romantic feelings will automatically spring up in their hearts, and it is the collective memory of a generation.
However, what is embarrassing is that with the rapid development of the times, although Zhushui TV is still the No. 1 Cantonese channel in the mainland, in the eyes of local young people, it has actually become another "medicine selling platform", and only the memories and feelings of these old people can be talked about.
There is no problem with "collective memories of a generation", but it is more accurate to say that it should be "collective memories that only the previous generation had......
Among them, there are many reasons such as the decline of traditional media in the Internet information age, the emergence of countless new entertainment methods for children today, and the fact that TV programs can no longer meet their demand for cultural products.
Of course, there are also reasons such as the loss of talent of Zhushui Station itself, the decline in the production level of the program, the aging and deterioration of the content of the program, and the impact of foreign culture on the local traditional culture, etc., but these internal and external reasons are not discussed for the time being.
As a bystander without any position, Su Bai could intuitively see that Zhushuitai was indeed declining day by day, and it was long gone.
No one in the new generation wants to watch it, and for the older generation of viewers who are still chasing after it, the good memories in their hearts have also begun to be mixed with bitterness in the bombardment of various dramas, and their feelings have gradually been consumed in the flying advertisements for medicines and health products.
This has led to the fact that when Zhushuitai is mentioned again today, people's most comprehensive evaluation is only four words: it is difficult to explain in one word.
"The autumn cold is coming, cough, phlegm, wheezing, have you made up for your lungs?"
"Shortness of breath, dry cough, sticky phlegm, if your lungs are not good, you must believe in Chinese medicine......"
Listening to the sound of advertisements on TV, Su Bai couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Good guys, just deserted a little effort, and there have been 4 lung tonic advertisements in a row, or different brands.
"I believe in Chinese medicine, but I don't really believe in your conscience......"
Su Bai was complaining in his heart, and there was another kidney-tonifying advertisement on TV, and it was a big production!
The female host of the lecture stage, the old people in the hall sat down together, seriously and seriously watching the white-bearded experts on the stage turn over and over for ideological struggle, and finally made a decision against the ancestors, to donate the ancestral kidney tonic secret recipe to Guo Jia for free......
I have to say that the eyes of the masses are really bright, and the evaluation of "selling medicine" unanimously given by everyone is really not wrong at all.
Probably all advertisers know that the audience of Zhushui TV is left with some middle-aged and elderly people, so it is very targeted......
Su Bai glanced at the few old people who were staring intently at the big coffee table at the moment, listening intently to the experts' teachings, and still felt deeply worried.
Finally, I finally survived the old Chinese medicine doctor who disobeyed my ancestors, and at this time, the TV actually put on a youthful and hot soda advertisement for the first time, Su Bai suddenly felt refreshed, and tears almost flowed down.
can be regarded as a few beautiful girls to read the paper, just afraid that it will be connected to another Baoxin tea advertisement......
At this time, Quan Bo said with some doubts: "Huh? I don't think I've seen this advertisement before. ”
Kwon Bo, 76, is a regular visitor to the center, he always wears a pair of thick glasses, dresses modestly, has an elegant and easy-going personality, and I heard that he was a high school teacher before he retired.
Even remember the existence of the content and order of the advertisements before the start of the TV show, so naturally there is no need to say anything, there is no doubt that the opera super fanatic is the first one who came to call Su Bai down from the upper floor to open the door today.
Quan Bo is tall and thin, and sitting with the round and chubby Deng Bo, he has a sense of "fat and thin head".
They are also the founders of the "Longgui Community Cantonese Opera Society", with Deng Bo as the president and Quan Bo as the vice president, including them, the Quyi Society now has a total of 6 members......
It is said that they originally wanted to form a private partnership, but after a few rounds of the whole community, they found that they couldn't find anyone who could play and sing, and they couldn't do it themselves, and then there was no more......
In fact, the original owner would, but because of his poor health, he never showed his professional skills in front of people.
But even so, the original owner was warmly invited by Quan Bo in order to make up the numbers, and he almost succeeded in mixing in and became the 7th person, but unfortunately he was strongly opposed by Deng Bo in the end.
In short, his old man just said: "A beautiful boy knows 7!" ”
In the end, the original owner regretted losing the 7th person......
"How good is it, is it good to have beautiful girls? Don't you like to watch the waves? ”
Deng Bo grinned, glanced at Uncle Quan with disgust and disdain, and almost didn't say those three words directly, fake serious!
Su Bai suddenly felt that he would definitely be able to become good friends with Deng Bo, even if he actually liked to look at his legs more.
After all, a man is a teenager until he dies, and no matter where he likes to look, being young and beautiful is an eternal standard.
Of course, there will be exceptions, and there will always be some high-spirited and bright people in the world, such as Dongge.
In the midst of the laughter, Uncle Quan's face turned red, and he argued: "It's wrong, you see it's 11 words now, and the show trailer should have been broadcast at this time in the past!" ”
Deng Bo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, looked at the clock on the wall, and frowned in wonder: "Oh ...... again"
In the past, at this time, some content clips of this episode of the program would be played on time, reminding everyone that the wonderful program will be presented immediately, don't leave or something like that.
But today there is none, not only is there no preview of the content of the program, but there is not even the word preview.
Just when everyone was puzzled, a burst of rhythmic electronic music suddenly sounded, and the picture suddenly became cool.
In the dimly lit underground garage, the blood-red background lights are lit up, and in the tone full of warning hints of danger and the tense rhythm of the music, the camera "swoops" to the road race car in the center of the frame, and also connects with the handsome action of a man with dirty pigtails and studs getting on the car and closing the door.
I saw him put his head in place, his stiff face and neatly trimmed sharp sword eyebrows, coupled with a fierce look, showed ruthlessness and coolness.
At the same time, the white graffiti font on the side: Star producer, Wu Yunfeng!
Immediately afterwards, several star mentors flashed in the sound of electricity and blurry and depressing pictures, all of them were full of fashion, with international rap superstars, powerful music celebrities, and top production teams.
In the end, the contestants also appeared on the stage one after another, announcing their participation declarations.
"Lord, despicable~"
"If the competition is for the selection of actors, I will definitely not be as good as others."
"If it's a rapper, I'll do it!"
“......”
The words are all domineering, and they are all full of confidence.
The old man's heart was silent, and everyone fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, there is a big question mark in your head, and there is only one line of words written on your puzzled face: Friends talk about spring?
Until the video was played, the subtitles were lit up: Lingnan's new rap, shocking debut!
Add a line of small print below, please watch it later, Lingnan New Rap Issue 1 (Replay)......
“???”
"Electric ...... Broken TV? ”
At this time, Deng Bo squeezed his eyes and pointed to the TV in disbelief to break the silence.
His words are like giving an "ultimate explanation" to everyone who is also unbelievable at the moment and thinks they are dazzled!
Suddenly, everyone hurriedly turned around and shouted to Su Bai, who was sitting behind:
"White Lord!"
"The TV is broken!!"
“......”
Su Bai, who was watching the whole time, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth a few times, ah......
