Landu Street is a one-way street, not long, but the location is very good, right in Wan Chai District, Hong Kong's main island, near the harbor. The north exit is just at the intersection of Johnston Road and Hennessy Road, and the south exit is Queen's Avenue East, which is a prosperous central area.

Lidu Theater Manager Zhao Baoxiang checked the theater's income during the Spring Festival in his manager's room, and was in a very good mood.

Lido Theatre was renovated and expanded after Shaw Brothers acquired it in 1953. It was formerly the China Grand Theatre. Due to its superior location and high-grade theater decoration, it is Shaw Brothers' first direct theater in Hong Kong, so it has become the flagship store of Shaw Brothers' Theatre.

The theater began to screen the movie "Hong Xiguan" filmed by Shaw Brothers Films on February 16 before the festival. By March 1, it was screened for 13 days and the box office revenue had exceeded 2 million. Given the good attendance rate, he decided to play it for a few more days and strive to exceed 2.5 million.

Shaw Brothers films are mostly action films, and dozens of films are filmed every year. With such intensive release requirements, the release period of each film will not be too long. Usually it is about ten days. If it is better, it will be screened for a few days. If the results are not good, the painting will be withdrawn in advance.

Hong Kong citizens still love action movies very much. As long as they are supported by the action movies produced by Shaw Pictures, the average viewing income is more than one million, which is very stable.

This time, the box office of "Hong Xiguan" exceeded 2 million, and even if the Spring Festival period is about to start, it will be the turn of "Chu Liuxiang" to be released in a few days. The starring Chu Liuxiang is played by Di Long, and I think the popularity will be good. I hope the film will also be popular.

Tuk tuk tuk, the manager knocked on the door outdoor.

"Come in." He didn't raise his head and continued to count the data.

"manager."

"Uncle Qin, what's the matter?" He raised his eyelids and saw that it was Uncle Qin who was responsible for selling tickets.

"Several people came outside. They wanted to rent a venue at the entrance of our theater and said they were doing sales feedback tests..."

"What kind of feedback tests? It's messy, no rent! Ours is Lidu Theater, not the pheasant halls that display pornographic videos in the alley!" Zhao Baoxiang said angrily. They thought that Lidu Theater was where, and those who were selling arts and selling Daliwan dared to come to the door, and said with shamelessness that they would rent the venue.

What a joke!

"I said the same thing, and I won't let them put it on. But the manager...," said Qin Bo hesitantly with a bitter face, "They, they ignored them at all, took off the things and pulled the wires out of the theater..."

"It's outrageous!"

Zhao Baoxiang must have become popular. This is Boss Shao’s territory. Who dares to come to Lido to play wild after eating Xiongxin?

He immediately put down his work and rushed out in anger.

When he arrived at the entrance of the theater, he found a small truck parked at the door, and several strong guys were carefully moving a box covered with cloth downwards.

"Dinglingling..."

Before he could curse, a pleasant electronic music sounded next to him. When he turned around, he saw that these people were moving so fast. On the left side of the entrance of the theater, there was already a set up. A tall young man was bulging something in front of the box. The wires stretched out from the back of the chassis and extended to the ticket booth - they actually flipped in and used the power socket in the ticket booth to power the thing!

Zhao Baoxiang's nose was almost pissed.

But after a closer look, he found that the big box was really beautiful. The surface was colorful and sprayed with a trendy space fighter jet!

No matter how beautiful it looks, it is not allowed to be placed here without permission!

He strode over with a dark face, and pushed the tall young man who was fiddling in front of the box: "Hey, where did you come from? Do you know where this place is? Do you dare to do it here!"

The young man was very stable in the lower market. He pushed this up in anger and did not push the other party.

"Who are you?"

The young man turned his head and looked at him with a confused look on his face, speaking Mandarin.

Zhao Baoxiang could understand Mandarin, and he could tell that it was the official language of the mainland, not the soft *** language. Most of the movies made by Shaw Brothers were in Mandarin, and he could tell that the other party was from the mainland at first hearing.

These days, there are so many young people who are so stupid. If you don’t understand the situation, you will rush up rashly.

I understood that the other party came from the mainland, and his arrogance dropped slightly.

In recent years, many people have come from mainland China to invest in relatives and friends, most of them are penniless. Because they have no funds and no skills, many of them can only make a living by selling their labor in construction, transportation, garment factories and other places.

Some people are unwilling to live this kind of life, so they take risks. After being baptized by martial arts, they are brave, and some are veterans. They have been basic militias, played with guns, and dared to see the enemy. They are cruel and ruthless. In order to grab territory, they have repeatedly clashed with local communities. Even the largest 14K on the island was beaten to retreat step by step, giving up many streets.

For these people, locals collectively call them "big circle gangs". Try not to provoke them if they can.

Don’t be tough with them. We are civilized people. It’s not good to fight and kill. Let’s just talk about the facts and reason...

As the manager, Zhao Baoxiang was also one of his responsibilities to settle the black and white ties. He immediately took out a pack of three or five from his pocket, shook out one, handed it to the young man, squeezed out a smile and asked, "Comrade, are you your surname?"

"Don't be expensive, your surname is Guan." Guan Fei took the cigarette without hesitation and leaned in front of his nose and sniffed it, "You didn't add any more materials, right?"

With the biological brain helping to analyze it, he knew at a glance that the other party was a coward.

Zhao Baoxiang was full of anger. I kindly asked you to smoke. Do you still suspect that there is information inside? Are you a good manager of Lidu?

"Comrade, what test are you going to do here?" He pretended not to hear it and went straight to the topic.

"That's right. More than a hundred brothers came over and had no food to eat, so they decided to set up an amusement company to make some game consoles to support their family." Guan Fei saw through this person, and naturally gave up his original plan and ran a train. "Now, we just made a batch of prototypes. I want to see whether the market reaction is good or not. I see that you have a good location, people come and go, and they are dressed very high-end, and there are many people coming to watch the movies, so I decided to choose this place as a point and try two on it!"

I said, why do you decide!

Zhao Baoxiang was so stubborn that he couldn't help it anymore. Is this person really stupid? Or is he pretending to be stupid for me? Such a big storefront and such a grand decoration, can you just say it? You will decide!

Is it easy to bully me?

"Oh, what are you guys? A TV?" He was wondering whether to call the report and heard someone ask curiously.

At some point, there were many people around me. They were all here to watch the movie. I bought the tickets. Before the movie started, I saw a box with a gorgeous appearance placed at the door, so I came over to see the strange one.

"You said this thing is a game console just developed by our company! It's quite fun. I guarantee that you will play it once and want to play it for the second time, and you will play it for the third time and the fourth time... Maybe you won't watch the movie today and will play it all day long. Anyway, that's really fun!" Guan Fei saw the owner coming, and immediately changed his face and boasted with a smile, "I see if there is no coin input here. You can play it as long as you invest a one-yuan coin. I'll show you it..."

He took out a one-yuan coin from his pocket and put it into the coin hole.

He changed the position of the coin hole and moved the coin hole on the front of the operating table to the next to the display screen.

According to the information, early game consoles were often cheated by some players, especially children, with iron pieces and iron hooks, causing the counter to be misjudged and treated as game coins. Everyone can see them above. Although it is not guaranteed to eliminate such behavior, it can at least make the other party afraid.

Anyway, the screen is not big enough now, there are enough spaces to place the coin input device, and then connect it to the coin storage box below through a tube.

Chinese people have the habit of watching. When they saw him start to demonstrate, everyone gathered over with enthusiasm. They were idle, and if the game console was really fun, they might as well play a few games before the movie started.

Zhao Baoxiang was pushed by the people behind him, and unconsciously squeezed over, then stuck it behind Guan Fei's side, and saw the display clearly. When he saw this scene, he was stunned, and his anger disappeared.

After the young and dandy named Guan threw the coins, a colorful picture flashed on the screen. Above the background of the starry sky, there was a line of capital-case English letters. He spelled it in his mind and found that he couldn't read it. After thinking about it, he turned out to be the pinyin letters promoted by the mainland and the two words "Tai Chi".

It's really produced by a mainland company!

But this picture is very good. A little light flashes from time to time in the black background, like the stars shining, with a bit of vast mystery. This picture is just like this even movie stunts.

He was still thinking, and the young and dandy surnamed Guan had already entered the game screen.

I saw six monsters with strange shapes appearing above the screen, each row has different colors. From top to bottom, they are gold, white, orange, yellow, blue, and red.

At the bottom of the screen, there is an airplane.

The young and dandy named Guan pushed the rocker, and the small plane below actually moved. Zhao Baoxiang and other onlookers screamed together.

"It's moving, the plane is moving!"

"It really moved, look, as soon as he moved the rocker, the plane followed his hand. He pushed left, the plane moved left; he pushed right, and the plane followed to the right."

"It's amazing, it's actually controllable!"

Guan Fei sneered in his heart.

How fresh, the plane cannot control it, I still play a nonsense game! Electronic games are the interactions that players participate in!

It’s not a big deal that Zhao Baoxiang and others were shocked. They have never seen one before. Not to mention Hong Kong, even Japan does not have such a game console. In their concept, game consoles are shooting games with handguns and photoelectric induction devices.

There are pictures like this, but there are barely some storylines. What’s more important is that they have never seen a game console that they can participate in and control!

When they saw the monster above and flew up and dropped bombs down, they were so excited that their faces were red and their necks were thick, and they wanted to replace them, help Guan Fei control the plane and escape far away.

When Guan Fei easily controlled the plane to avoid it and pressed the launch key to fire rows of shells from the top of the plane, everyone cheered.

Some people say that games are human instincts.

This is so right!

The first electronic game in the history of human science and technology was designed by scientists with extraordinary wisdom and full of knowledge that others could not understand. No one would have thought that these serious and rigid scientists would sleep in the center of the computer for a game with extremely monotonous pictures.

That's what those who saw Guan Fei playing games.

After watching for a while, they were deeply conquered by this game and were completely immersed in this simple and exciting space war.

Although it is a veteran game, it is a very advanced enjoyment for modern people who lack spiritual entertainment life.

"Hide! Dodge!"

Zhao Baoxiang had long forgotten why he came out, blushed, clenched his fists hard, and shouted like everyone else around him. Every move of Guan Fei made him frightened, as if he would be hit in the next second. Whenever Guan Fei destroyed an enemy plane, a strong sense of pleasure would come out of his heart, as if he was really soaring in the dark universe and knocking down the enemy plane with his own hands.

"You yell so loudly, why don't you come up and try it in person?" Guan Fei played casually, and saw that it was already in time, and turned his head and made a sound of teasing.

"Can I play too?" Zhao Baoxiang was stunned. He would have wanted to go up and play for a few games. If Guan Fei hadn't died, he would have grabbed the joystick as soon as possible and would not let others take the lead.

"Here, I'll throw in a coin, one piece. This is a doubles game, and there is a joystick next to it, you can play with me." Guan Fei raised his chin and pointed at the coin-injection hole.

The original game can only be played by a single player, but how could he waste resources like this? The source code has long been changed to a two-player game by him.

"good!"

Zhao Baoxiang was overjoyed and grabbed a handful of change from his pocket and stuffed it in several bites. He only heard Dingdong and Dingdong, and several times in a row, but no other small plane appeared under the screen.

"Press the start button and it's the red one, yes, it's it!"

Zhao Baoxiang squeezed to Guan Fei, held the joystick, aimed at the red button and slapped hard, and a new small plane appeared. He tentatively moved the rocker, and the small plane really started to move.
Chapter completed!
