Roaming In The World Of Film And Television

Chapter 1227 In my eyes it is a tool for learning English

It was a black, flat square machine with a rectangular notch in front, and the row of buttons with unknown symbols printed on it, which looked uniquely technological and super modest.

“Lin Yue, this…what is this?”

Hai Guofu moved forward with some kindness. He hadn’t seen this thing, but his instinct told him that it was a good thing, something better than a TV.

“Get out, get out.”

A rather rude voice came from behind. Hai Guofu turned his head and saw Han Chaojun in the room diagonally across. This guy also majored in English and loved his performance. He had a Sanyo tape recorder worth several hundred. On holidays, he would go to the cafeteria with his beloved equipment, the tape was inserted, the button was pressed, and the soothing musical notes flowed gently as the head turned.

“WhenIwasyoung.”

“I’dlistentotheradio.”

“Waitingformyfavoritesongs.”

“Whentheyplayed I’dsingalong.”

“Itmademesmile.”

“Thoseweresuchhappytimes.”

“…”

The long-awaited male student will take the female student’s hand to step forward and take smooth or jerky dance steps to the beat.

As a result, Han Chaojun joined the literary and art department. He would like to pull a few English lyrics when he was fine, and show off his collected tapes or Hong Kong and Taiwan star magazines. Some students were unhappy with his publicity and called him fake foreign devils in secret.

“Is this a tape recorder? What brand?”

He hadn’t seen this thing, and while wondering what it was, he was upset that the soil buns on the opposite side could get these eye-popping objects.

Lin Yue glanced at him: “This is not a tape recorder, this is a video recorder.”

VCR?

A group of people looked at each other, basically hearing this term for the first time.

Lin Yue did not waste his words to explain to them. Unplug the desk lamp, plug in the TV and VCR, connect the audio cable and video cable, press the AVTV switch button on the TV control panel, and leave it in the bag on the bed. Take out a black box that is a circle larger than the tape and push it to the position of the video recorder, and tap the play button next to it.

The light and shadow of the TV screen flashed, and a big tree came into the eyes of everyone, and then English letters suddenly popped out.

GonewiththeWind

Cheng Tu Turtle pushed the old-fashioned glasses: “Blowed away by the wind.”

Lin Yue said: “It’s Gone with the Wind. It also has a translation called “Gone with the Wind”.”

“Gone with the wind? Margaret Mitchell’s novel?” With a familiar voice, Wang Yang walked in separately from the people surrounding the door of the dormitory.

When he said this, many people woke up and did not speak the original English version. The Chinese translation of “Gone with the Wind” published by Zhejiang People’s Publishing House two years ago sold quite well.

Wang Yang is a person who claims to have watched 100 Hollywood movies. As soon as the story came to the topic, he immediately reacted and walked over to touch the black box next to the TV: “Where did you get this stuff?”

He doesn’t know this thing, but he knows what Lin Yue is doing–playing a movie.

Others also wake up. After all, many of Yenching University’s students are locals, and they can be said to be well-informed. Since televisions gradually entered working families in big cities in 1976, because there are too few television programs to satisfy the audience. According to the demand, CCTV has introduced many foreign films for dubbing and broadcasting, so many people have watched foreign films on TV.

But watching a movie in this way is the first time a girl sits in a sedan chair.

Lin Yue said, “The US Embassy.”

Wang Yang: “…”

Cheng Dongqing: “???”

Hai Guofu blinked, then replied in a low voice: “US Embassy?”

There was no sound in the room, only Miss Scarlett, the daughter of Tara Manor on the TV, complained with disgust that the two words “war” disturbed the supposedly beautiful life.

There is no such awkward Chinese dubbing, original soundtrack, full of emotions.

Lin Yue said, “Don’t you know? The US Embassy will deal with a batch of used office supplies every year, which are cheap and easy to use. Like this 12-inch TV, you can buy it for less than 100 yuan. It’s more expensive, more than a hundred.”

It is 1981, and it will take one or two years to import the first batch of civilian video recorders in China. It is normal that these people have not seen it. Not to mention being a rural person like Dongqing, Wang Yang’s understanding of movie screenings still remains in the mode of movie theaters and television broadcast signals. Home theaters have always been linked to the word “looking forward to the future”.

“Going to the U.S. Embassy to buy second-hand goods, are you kidding me?” Han Chaojun said that he was jealous, because the movie machine and the music machine were “not a generational difference”. What is even more unacceptable is the television and video recording. Cheap machine is not a problem, many people have not seen it, it is not a problem, the key to the problem is, even if it is second-hand goods, the United States people are willing to sell him?

Wang Yang can answer this question, but he has no interest in doing so.

Lin Yue’s words reminded him of what happened when he went to the Longfu Temple Ballroom for a drink six months ago. This guy had a very happy conversation with Ms. Jenny, a reporter of the Los Angeles Times in China, and seemed to have made a deal. At the time, he was flirting with LUCY. Hearing the content clearly, after a long time there was no following, he almost forgot, now it seems that it should be related to the two things in front of him.

As a reporter for the Los Angeles Times in China, Jenny was originally a frequent visitor at the US Embassy. It is of course not difficult to spend money on obsolete goods when the equipment is updated.

“Where did you get the money to buy this?”

Cheng Dongqing is a terrapin, but a sober terrapin. He knows that the biggest difference between himself and the people in the city is “money.” Yes, his terrapin stems from his poverty, and Lin Yue’s academic performance is good, but Daily Life is as economical as he is. Wang Yang once asked the question “Your grades are so good, why don’t you apply for a scholarship from the department?” Lin Yue’s answer was “Someone needs it more than I do.” The subsidies provided by the education system are equivalent to his level of daily expenses. Then the frugal person suddenly bought a TV and a video recorder for 200 yuan. From his point of view, this is absolutely illogical. Things.

Lin Yue said, “Manuscript fee.”

“Manuscript fee?”

The people in the dormitory look at me, and I look at you. For a while, I can’t accept his excuse that he has a manuscript fee.

Lin Yue said, “Yes, the contribution fee given to me by the Los Angeles Times.”

As a college student, it’s hard to get the manuscript fee, but I didn’t expect to get the manuscript fee from foreign media.

Wang Yang is a bit psychologically imbalanced. He knew that he should apply for some funding from LUCY, although he voluntarily asked a girl from United States to interview him.

Lin Yue patted Dongqing on the shoulder: “You should try to write down the lines in the movie, it should be able to improve your accent.”

Hai Guofu pointed to the TV and VCR and said, “Did you buy this to learn English?”

“right.”

Lin Yue nodded, picked up the book on the bedside and walked outside, waving his hand: “I went to the library. Call me after reading it.”

Cheng Dongqing didn’t say a word, because he thought of a question, with Lin Yue’s English level, do he need to watch a movie to ascension himself? Of course not.

If it’s not for yourself, who is it for?

He raised his head and glanced at Wang Yang. The guy who loves to write love poems is also looking at him. What do you say with his eyes…very intriguing.

Here, Hai Guofu and others gathered around the dormitory to watch a movie. Han Chaojun got out of the crowd and grunted as he watched the back in the corridor, his face was full of unhappy.

Lin Yue saw this scene in his eyes, and couldn’t help laughing. He said that he was a young man after all. Even if it is one of the best universities in China like Yanjing University, it is indispensable to be competitive, jealous and jealous.

Of course, he was not interested in talking to people like Han Chaojun, and didn’t want to waste energy on such messy things.

Yes, the video recorder was bought back, but the video tape used for playback is a rarity. Given the state of the domestic market, if you want to update the movie, you must go the way of Jenny and LUCY to buy the video tape from United States.

As he walked here, he was planning to buy a video tape. A figure dangled in front of him, and an unexpected person stopped him.
