    Landu Street is a one-way street, not long, but the location is very good. It is located in Wan Chai District, Hong Kong Island, close to the harbor.  The north exit is right at the intersection of Johnston Road and Hennessy Road, and the south exit is Queen's Road East, which is a bustling central area.  Lido Theater Manager Zhao Baoxiang was in his manager¡¯s room, checking the theater¡¯s revenue during the Spring Festival, and he was in a very good mood.  The Lido Theater was rebuilt and expanded after being acquired by Shaw Brothers in 1953. It was formerly known as the Chinese Grand Theatre.  Due to its superior location, high-grade cinema decoration, and being the first theater directly owned by Shaw Brothers in Hong Kong, it has become the flagship store of Shaw Brothers Cinemas in Hong Kong.  Starting from February 16th before the holiday, the theater began to screen the movie "Hong Xiguan" produced by Shaw Brothers Pictures. As of today, March 1st, it has been screened for 13 days and the box office revenue has exceeded 2 million.  In view of the good attendance, he decided to leave the show for a few more days to try to break through 2.5 million.  Most of Shaw Brothers¡¯ films are action films, with dozens of films shot every year.  With such intensive release demand, the release period of each film will not be too long. It is usually about ten days. If the film is good, it will be screened for a few more days. If the film does not perform well, it will be withdrawn early.  Hong Kong people still love action movies. As long as it is an action movie produced by Shaw Brothers, most people will support it. The average viewing revenue is more than one million, which is very stable.  This time, the box office of "Hong Xi Guan" exceeded 2 million, which means it is off to a good start during the Spring Festival period.  In a few days, it will be the release of "Chu Liuxiang". The leading role of Chu Liuxiang is played by Ti Lung. I think it will be very popular. I hope the film will also be a big hit. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There was a knock on the door outside the manager's room.  "Come in." He continued to count the data without raising his head.  "Manager." "Uncle Qin, what's the matter?" He raised his eyelids and saw that it was Uncle Qin who was in charge of selling tickets.  "A few people came from outside. They wanted to rent a venue in front of our theater. They said they were doing a product sales feedback test" "What kind of feedback test? It's a mess. I won't rent it! This is the Lido Theater, not the ones in the alleys.  A pheasant room showing pornographic videos!" Zhao Baoxiang said angrily.  They thought the Lido Theater was a place where a busker selling Dali Pills dared to come and shamelessly talk about renting the venue.  What a joke!  "That's what I said, not to let them put it away. But the manager" Uncle Qin said hesitantly with a bitter look on his face, "They, they didn't pay attention at all, they just unloaded the things and walked out of the theater.  Pull the wire" "That's unreasonable!" "Zhao Baoxiang must have become popular. This is Boss Shao's territory. Who dares to come to Lidu after eating the bear's heart?  He immediately put down what he was doing and walked out angrily.  Arriving at the entrance of the theater, he found a small truck parked at the door, and several strong young men were carefully moving down a box covered with cloth.  "Dingxingxingxing" Before he could curse, another burst of pleasant electronic music sounded next to him. He turned around and saw, my dear, these people are moving so fast. They have already set up a table just to the left of the entrance to the theater.  On the stage, a tall young man was playing something in front of the box.  There were wires coming out of the back of the case and all the way into the ticket booth - they actually dug in and used the power socket in the ticket booth to power the thing!  Zhao Baoxiang¡¯s nose was almost crooked with anger.  But when he took a closer look, he found that the big box was really nicely made.  The surface is colorful and painted with a fashionable space fighter!  No matter how beautiful it is, it is not allowed to be placed here without permission!  With a dark face, he strode over and pushed the tall young man who was tinkering in front of the box: "Hey, where did you come from? Do you know where this place is? How dare you mess around here!"  It was very stable. He pushed so hard in anger, but he didn't push the opponent.  "Who are you?" The young man turned his head and looked at him with a confused look on his face, speaking in Mandarin.  Zhao Baoxiang understands Mandarin, and he can tell that it is Mandarin in the north of the mainland, not soft Japanese.  Most of the movies produced by Shaw Brothers are in Mandarin, and he can tell that the other party is from the mainland. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There are so many stupid people out there who don¡¯t understand the situation, so they rush forward rashly.  Knowing that the other party came from the mainland, his arrogance dropped a little.  Over the years, many people have come from the mainland to visit relatives and friends, and most of them are impoverished.  Since they have no capital or skills, many can only make a living by selling their labor in construction, transportation, garment factories and other places.  There are also some people who are not willing to live this kind of life and take risks.  They have been baptized by fighting and have the courage toA lot of them, some of them are veterans, have served as militiamen, played with guns, dared to show off, and were cruel and ruthless. They often clashed with local associations to seize territory. Even the largest 14K on the island was defeated and gave up.  Quite a few streets.  For these people, the locals collectively call them the "Big Circle Gang" and try not to provoke them as much as possible.  It's better not to be tough with them. We are civilized people. It's not good to fight and kill too much. Let's talk about the facts and reason As a manager, Zhao Baoxiang is one of his responsibilities to settle the right and wrong. He immediately took it out of his pocket.  There were three to five in a pack, and he shook out one and handed it to the young man. He asked with a smile on his face: "Comrade, what is your surname?" "My surname is Guan." Guan Fei took the cigarette unceremoniously.  , brought it to his nose and smelled it, "You didn't add any ingredients here, did you?" There was a biological assistant brain to help analyze it, and he knew at a glance that the other party was a coward.  "Zhao Baoxiang is full of anger. I kindly asked you to smoke, but you still suspect that there is some information in it. Do you think that my dignified Lido manager is a prostitute?"  "Comrade, what test are you going to do here?" He pretended not to hear and went straight to the topic.  "It's like this. More than a hundred of us brothers came over and had no food to eat, so we decided to set up an entertainment company and make some game consoles to support our families." Guan Fei saw through this man, so he naturally gave up his original plan and started talking  The train came, "No, we have just made a batch of prototypes and want to see the market response to see if they sell well or not. I see that your place is in a good location, with people coming and going, and they are all dressed in high-end clothes. They are here to watch a movie."  There are a lot of people, so I decided to choose this place as a place to put two units in and try it out!¡± I said, why did you decide?  Zhao Baoxiang endured it again and again, but he couldn't bear it anymore.  Is this person really stupid, or is he just pretending to be stupid? With such a big facade and such a magnificent decoration, you can just put it on, it's up to you to decide!  Do you think I¡¯m easy to bully?  "Hey, what is this, a TV?" He was wondering whether to call and report when he heard someone ask curiously.  One side of the face, I don¡¯t know when, there were already a lot of people around. They were all here to watch the movie. They bought the tickets, but the movie hadn¡¯t started yet. I saw a box with a gorgeous appearance at the door, so I came over to take a look.  Strange.  "You said this thing is a game console just developed by our company! It is quite fun. I guarantee that after you play it once, you will want to play it a second time, and after playing it a third time, you will want to play it a fourth time Maybe you will  I won¡¯t watch any movies today. I will play here all day long. Anyway, it¡¯s a lot of fun!¡± When Guan Fei saw the real owner coming, his face immediately changed and he boasted with a smile, ¡°Didn¡¯t you see it here?  , there is a coin slot here, you only need to put in a one-yuan coin to play, I will show you" He took out a one-yuan coin from his pocket and put it into the coin slot.  He changed the position of the coin slot and moved the original coin slot on the front of the console to the side of the display screen.  According to the data, early game consoles were often used by some players, especially children, to cheat by using iron pieces and hooks to misjudge the counter and use them as game coins.  Putting it above can be seen by everyone. Although it cannot guarantee that this kind of behavior will be stopped, it can at least make the other party afraid.  Anyway, the current screen is not big enough, there is enough space to place the coin acceptor, and then connect it to the coin deposit box below through a pipe.  People in the country have the habit of watching onlookers. When they saw him starting to demonstrate, everyone gathered together with great interest.  They were originally idle. If this game console was really fun, they might as well play it before the movie started.  Zhao Baoxiang was pushed by the people behind him and squeezed in unconsciously. He was right behind Guan Fei and could see the display clearly.  As soon as he saw this scene, he was stunned, and all his anger disappeared.  After the young and Dangerous boy named Guan put in the coin, a colorful picture flashed on the screen. Above a starry sky background, there was a line of capital letters in cursive English.  He spelled it out in his mind and found that he couldn't read it. After thinking about it again, it turned out that the word "Tai Chi" was spelled using the pinyin letters popularized in mainland China.  It¡¯s really produced by a mainland company!  But this picture is very good. In the black background, a little light flashes from time to time, like bright stars, and it has a sense of vastness and mystery.  This kind of scene is nothing more than a movie stunt.  While he was still thoughtful, the young and Dangerous boy named Guan had already entered the game screen.  At the top of the screen, six rows of strange, crab-like monsters appeared, each row having a different color.  From top to bottom, they are gold, white, orange, yellow, blue, and red.  And at the bottom of the screen, there is an airplane.  The young and Dangerous boy named Guan promoted the shaking?, the small plane below actually started to move.  Zhao Baoxiang and other onlookers screamed together.  "It's moving, the plane is moving!" "It's really moving. Look, as soon as he shakes the stick, the plane follows his hand. When he pushes to the left, the plane moves to the left; when he pushes to the right, the plane follows.  Come to the right." "It's amazing, this is actually controllable!" Guan Fei sneered in his heart.  How novel, I can¡¯t control the plane, and I¡¯m still playing a crappy game!  Video games are played through the interaction of players!  ¡°It¡¯s no wonder that Zhao Baoxiang and others were shocked, they had never seen it before.  Not to mention Hong Kong, even Japan does not have such a game console. In their concept, the game console is a shooting game with handjobs and photoelectric induction devices.  They have never seen a game console like this with graphics, a barely there storyline, and more importantly, a game console that they can participate in controlling!  When they saw the monster above and flew up to drop bombs below, they were so excited that their faces turned red and their necks thickened. They wished they could use their bodies to help Guan Fei control the plane and escape far away.  When Guan Fei easily controlled the plane to avoid it and pressed the launch button to fire rows of cannonballs from the top of the plane, everyone cheered.  Some people say that games are human instinct.  This is so true!  The first electronic game in the history of human science and technology was designed using large computers by scientists who were smarter than ordinary people and full of knowledge that others could not understand.  No one would have thought that these scientists, who usually give people the impression of being serious and rigid, would spend all their time in the computer center playing a game with extremely monotonous graphics.  Those who saw Guan Fei playing games were like this.  They only watched it for a short time, and they were already deeply conquered by this game, completely immersed in this simple and exciting space battle.  Although it is a veteran-level game, for modern people who lack spiritual entertainment life, this is a very high-level enjoyment.  "Hurry! Hide!" Zhao Baoxiang had long forgotten why he came out. His face turned red, he clenched his fists hard, and yelled like everyone else around him.  Every movement of Guan Fei made his heart beat with fear, as if he would be hit in the next second. Every time Guan Fei destroyed an enemy plane, he felt a strong sense of pleasure from the bottom of his heart, as if he was really flying.  In the dark universe, it was like destroying an enemy plane with my own hands.  "You roared so loudly, why don't you come up and try it yourself?" Guan Fei was playing casually, looking at the heat, he half-tilted his head and teased.  "Can I play too?" Zhao Baoxiang was stunned. He had long wanted to go up and play a few games. If Guan Fei hadn't died, he would have grabbed the joystick immediately to prevent others from taking the lead.  "Here, put a coin in, 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 hole.  The original game can only be played by one player, but how could he waste resources like this? The source code has long been changed by him into a two-player game.  "Okay!" Zhao Baoxiang was overjoyed. He randomly grabbed a handful of change from his pocket and stuffed several of them in one gulp.  Just listening to ding-dong, ding-dong, several times in succession, another small plane did not appear at the bottom of the screen.  "Press the start button, it's the red one, yes, that's it!" Zhao Baoxiang squeezed next to Guan Fei, held the joystick, pointed at the red button and tapped it hard, and a new small plane appeared.  He tentatively moved the joystick, and the small plane indeed started to move.  He laughed happily and immediately concentrated on the battle.
