Chapter 379 Xiaoyu, you are thinking wrong again
It was July 21, 1984, in Beijing, it was sunny.
Li Ye got up in the morning, ate breakfast slowly, and then prayed in his heart, "Don't call, take a day off, don't call, take a day off."
But at 8:15 Well, the phone still rang on time.
After picking up the phone, as expected, it was Wen Leyu calling.
"Let's go, Li Ye. Today we went to Longtan Lake Railway Bridge for a stroll. My brother said there is a flower, bird and fish market there. There are several alleys around Longtan Lake that are quite interesting. It just happened that I could take some pictures with Xiao Ruo. Photos of meaning,
Wear those blue pants and short-sleeved white shirt today. Don’t wear sandals, just wear Huili. If you sweat, I will wash your socks.”
Listen to Wen Leyu one by one. Arrangement, Li Ye couldn't help but sigh secretly, feeling a little weak.
"Xiao Yu, why don't we take a day off! Look at the temperature meter, it's thirty-nine degrees. If you look in the mirror again, you're almost tanned, you know?"
"Are you tanned? Wait, don't hang up!"
Wen Leyu lost her voice on the other end of the phone, and Li Ye guessed that she had gone to look in the mirror.
Sure enough, Wen Leyu returned to Ali half a minute later and said: "You are talking nonsense. I took the photo carefully three times and you didn't get tanned at all.
But you have tanned a lot these days. It's a little darker, which is more pleasing to the eye than before. It would be just right if it was a little more tanned."
"."
Through the phone, Li Ye could tell that Wen Leyu was right. Regarding her own expectations, she really hoped that she could be a little darker.
Li Ye couldn't help but touch his face, feeling very depressed.
【There are no Obamas these days, but there are also white-faced scholars, right? Why can't my model be as good as the Black Iron Tower?
How about I give you a tan? It must give you a tough guy vibe. 】
However, Wen Leyu didn't have time to wait for Li Ye's mental activity. When he heard that Li Ye had stopped making any movement, he immediately said: "Call Xiaoruo and I'll say a few words to her."
"Xiaoruo."
Li Ye was just about to say that Xiao Ruo hadn't gotten up yet, but he saw that Fu Yiruo had come over lightly.
Li Ye had no choice but to give the phone to Fu Yiruo: "Here, Xiaoyu is looking for you."
Fu Yiruo took the phone with a smile and said to Wen Leyu over there: "Sister-in-law Are you looking for me? Where are we going to play today?”
“Xiao Ruo, have you forgotten what I told you?” Wen Leyu said, “Don’t call me sister-in-law at other times except at home. Sister Xiaoyu, we have to keep it a secret now”
“Oh, I’ll keep it a secret”
Fu Yiruo chatted with Wen Leyu, and even took some paper and pen to write down something.
A few minutes later, Fu Yiruo put down the phone, raised the paper in his hand and said to Li Ye: "Brother, if you are tired, take a day off! I can just take the bus there myself."
Li Ye sighed and was about to speak when Fu Yiruo asked: "But my sister-in-law told me to watch out for those who pat the mother-in-law on the road. What does patting the mother-in-law mean?"
"."
“She told you that she photographed her mother-in-law?”
"Yes, I said it."
Li Ye couldn't help but laugh: "Did she tell you that? She told me, okay?"
There are many bastards at the foot of the capital. In the 1980s, there were many young people photographing mothers-in-law, and all of them were social elites.
For example, at the bus stop, I used to take the girl’s bag and hang it on my shoulder, and then I started to get poor.
“What are you doing?”
"Why didn't I do it?"
"Why didn't you do it? Why did you grab my bag?"
"Why did I grab your bag? I felt sorry for you because you were tired from carrying it. I'll carry it for you for a while."
Girls in the 1980s were not as thoughtful as girls in later generations.
Being impoverished and impoverished makes you look familiar, and then you will be targeted and pestered endlessly. There will always be an honest girl who is won over by the brown candy!
If you don’t believe it, just look at how many good girls around you have fallen into the hands of street gangsters.
"Let's go! Your brother and I are not tired at all. The more I follow you, the more energetic I will be."
Li Ye had no choice but to go out with Fu Yiruo, and even helped Fu Yiruo lift her small backpack .
Inside the backpack are some personal items and a Leica M3 camera. Originally, after Li Ye confessed Fu Yiruo's situation to Wen Leyu that day, the Leica M3 unexpectedly played a role in quickly bringing the two closer together.
After Wen Leyu returned to the capital, she owned a Hongqi 20 camera, which was a big toy given to her by her family. In the 1980s, this big toy was definitely not within the reach of ordinary people.
Other people’s children feel very happy if they have a football or basketball. Who would expect to have a red flag camera worth a thousand yuan?
How can I do photography if I can’t bear to use film casually?
Wen Leyu was not obsessed with photography at first. She just wanted to leave a memory of each other when she led Li Ye to visit the capital.
However, after Li Ye had shot an advertisement for Fenghua Clothing, and after wearing heavy armor and wielding a spear at Gujun Literary Agency, Wen Leyu was impressed by Li Ye's ability to pose, and with his interest in photography It rose all of a sudden,
Her purpose is also very simple and pure, which is to work hard to improve Li Ye's handsomeness in photos.
On the second day after meeting Fu Yiruo, when the three of them went out to play, Wen Leyu took out his Hongqi 20 camera to give the brother and sister a photo, while Fu Yiruo took out his Leica M3 .
The Hongqi 20 is a replica of the Leica M3. The two immediately had a common topic, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the replica and the original product, as well as the experience and technology of photography.
This discussion does not matter. Fu Yiruo already had his own camera when he was ten years old. He has not stopped studying for seven or eight years.
So Xiaoruo is not a professional. Be a photographer! But she is definitely a master among amateur photographers. She can chat with Wen Leyu for a long time just on the topic of "aperture".
So for several days, Li Ye was treated as a model by the two of them and ordered around.
Forget about the physical exertion, but the kind of constant request to "raise your chin a little higher and tilt your shoulders to the left" "Two centimeters" and other toss-ups really didn't interest him. If it weren't for the harmonious relationship between his aunt and his sister-in-law, Li Ye would have quit the job long ago.
It was the same today. When Li Ye and Fu Yiruo arrived at Longtan Lake, they saw Wen Leyu with a red flag of 20 hanging around his neck, standing on a step and waving gently to the two of them.
When the three of them got together, Wen Leyu took out a lens from his bag.
"Xiao Ruo, look, this is the high-end optical glass lens I just bought. It is said to be made of lanthanide rare earth materials. I will compare it with your Leica after I finish shooting today."< br>
"A high-end lens!" Fu Yiruo said in surprise: "The quality of your camera is no worse than mine. If there is a better lens, it will definitely surpass my Leica."
Wenle Yu shook his head and said a little lonely: "Xiao Ruo, don't always say nice things, tell the truth, my Hongqi 20 is not as good as your Leica.
I carefully compared the photos taken by the two cameras. Although the difference in the photos is very small, it is there. We admit that it is okay to fall behind and just try to catch up."
Fu Yiruo was a little surprised. Her experience in Malay taught her how to be likeable. She was very surprised when she faced Wen Leyu, who was seeking truth from facts.
Fu Yiruo had no choice but to say: "Sister Xiaoyu, I have actually compared your Hongqi 20. Among several imitations of the Leica M3, it is a little weaker than the British one and weaker than that of several other countries. All the imitations are better.”
Wen Leyu looked at Fu Yiruo in surprise and said, "Have you ever compared this?"
Fu Yiruo nodded and said, "I once had a teacher in Malay, and she liked to collect cameras, like the Leica M3. After it came out, there are at least more than ten imitations in the world.
Among them, Britain's imitations have the highest level, and Japan's ones also have their own highlights. Your Hongqi can rank third, which is third in the world! < br>
My teacher once said that those who can imitate the Leica M3 are developed countries, and ordinary countries do not even have the ability to imitate it. At least no one in Nanyang can imitate the Leica. ”
“ Is that so? ”
Wen Leyu was a little surprised after hearing Fu Yiruo's words.
In the mainland in the early 1980s, after seeing the outside world, the shadow of "backwardness" weighed heavily on the head, making people like Wen Leyu feel depressed.
But Fu Yiruo now says that the mainland is a "developed country". Is this not surprising?
"What Xiao Ruo said is wrong, but it is not wrong, because ordinary countries do not have the ability to imitate Leica."
Li Ye explained: "Cameras are high-end industrial products. Technical products represent the industrial level of a country to a certain extent. The per capita income of the mainland is poor, but the industrial level of the mainland is there, at least. ”
There was no way Li Ye could preach that flower growers would be the world's factories in the future at this time in 1984. Others thought he was mentally ill.
However, it is a fact that the mainland has the most complete industrial classification in the world and a sufficiently comprehensive industrial foundation.
Of course, it only exists and is far from forming market competitiveness.
For example, the Hongqi 20 was jointly designed and developed by the Institute of Optical and Precision Mechanical Instruments of the Academy of Flower Planting Sciences and the Shanghai Second Camera Factory.
This type of cooperation was only possible with this specification. Hundreds of products simply do not have the ability to be launched on a large scale.
But there is, and the potential is much greater than that of so-called "developed countries" that can't even get together industrial categories.
Especially in the mainland, there is a group of engineers who refuse to admit defeat.
In order to achieve the performance of Leica, they also manufactured high-end optical glass lenses in small quantities. This is why many people insist that the quality of the "Hongqi 20" lens is higher than that of Leica lenses.
Li Ye believes that this spirit of not admitting defeat is the confidence and reason for the rise of the mainland.
Although decades later, mainland cameras still have not reached the top level in the world, but who dares to say that the mainland is "backward"?
No one dares to believe that mainlanders will never be able to come up with a hit product that will make the whole world fall behind.
They just hope not to irritate the mainland as much as possible and not to engage in any "technical blockade" so that this time can come later, just later.
