I was about 12 or 15 years old that year—a feature of this vague memory is that you only know its existence, but you can’t figure out the details—I met a fat man, let’s call him. Zuo Ke, a fat man from Chengdu, at the same age as me, has the characteristics of all Chengdu people. He can enjoy himself and is always chasing the freshest things. He is full of curiosity about everything. The most important thing is that everything he cares about is in line with Things that others consider valuable—such as academic performance or a bright future—are irrelevant. His family lives in Shuangliu District. I don't know where it is, but I still miss this place I have never been before.
I like to mix with him very much. He is much bigger than me, but he is much less courageous than me. So when he finds something interesting, he always encourages me to try it first, so I didn’t know later, it was he who followed me Fool or I will follow him. We played stamp collecting, and he found a lot of old envelopes in the trash pile, so we went home with the rancid smell every day, and enthusiastically stuffed the discarded pieces of paper into my dad's bookcase. Later, he found that there were many envelopes in the school and factory guards, and the stamps on them were more delicate, or at least new, so the envelopes in these places began to become dilapidated.
At that time, there was no Internet. In the small county where we lived, even watching TV was a luxury. The only ones that could be bought in the newsstands on the street were "Children's Literature" and "Juvenile Literature". I don’t know where there is such a thing as "Animation World". Therefore, how Ke keeps up with the trend of the world, can always get some tapes of the Tigers, Qi Qin's stickers, fake Nike sneakers, and know who is popular in Taiwan, to me, is simply a mystery, and it is still unsolved.
After the summer vacation when he was 12 or 15 years old, he brought a set of toys, a lot of plastic parts, and a very exaggerated picture, and triumphantly told me that it was called Transformers, and I still didn't know why. Until he used a small screwdriver and 502 glue to put these parts crookedly into a truck, I started to admire this little Chengdu gangster, and when he ticked the car into a robot, and told me he When I was called Optimus Prime, I almost fell on him. These deformations without any technical content are enough to make my ignorant and young mind have a huge shock. There is no choice, I must worship him.
It took us two days to spell out six robots: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Mirage, Jack, Jazz, Ironhide-God knows if I remember it correctly. The most amazing thing is that six robots can be combined into one big robot. Standing there, it's almost deadly majestic. At that moment, I almost swear that I will sleep with this thing for the rest of my life.
But he didn't agree to give this to me, letting me think about it day and night, at most he agreed to let me hold it in my hand and watch it, or let me take it for a lesson or two.
However, this is enough to excite me. Every time these guys appear in the class, those envious eyes have made me forget about it. In their opinion, Ke's and mine are not much different. We really It's too iron buddy.
After another half a year, I became obsessed with radio, skating, and other things. Transformers TV began to show, and it didn't appeal to me too much. I was no longer so obsessed with these big plastic guys. It's the same with Ke, and went to play something else.
After another half a year, Ke and I both graduated from junior high school. He returned to Chengdu. We behaved like all schoolmates and teenagers, reluctant to give up. He generously gave me the set of Transformers, and before leaving, Very worried, he taught me how to make six small ones into one big one, and then left.
After another half a year, I put that big Transformer on my desk. I often think of this fat man in Chengdu and a place called Shuangliu. I even posted a one-inch photo he gave me when he was leaving on King Kong’s. On the head, as a sign of nostalgia.
Later, I can’t remember exactly what happened. It was about the first time I had a crush on the girl next door. I thought about Shu Ting Bei Dao and Gu Cheng, and learned to write sour poems. As for those toys, it’s no longer an interest. Up.
One day it was so boring, I dismantled Donkey Kong into six little ones, but I can't restore it again. Even the Hornet's leg was broken. Looking at a table of Transformers that could no longer be restored, I began to realize that my boyhood was going away.
I use a box containing broken diamonds, which I store in my cabinet, and occasionally turn it over.
Later, my brother also started his boyhood. I gave him the King Kong to try to restore him, but obviously, he was more interested in digging mines for "Legend" and "Warcraft". , As for Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or Brother Yixiu, in his opinion, they are a bit stupid. He will watch Su Youpeng's soap operas, but he will never know what the Little Tigers are.
Later, I moved a few times, but the King Kong disappeared, and I didn't plan to find it again.
Later, now, I started to talk about my film reviews.
I don't know if I like to remember if it is a sign of aging. It's just that in this season, I have become less elated, nor excited, and I always come and go like a bystander.
I said to L: Wife, let's go see Transformers. She said, okay.
I said, do you know what a Transformer is? She hesitated and said, know, uh, but don't remember.
Wanda Studios was crowded with people, a group of people with three tickets rushed in, grabbing tickets passionately, taking their children, and explaining to them what Transformers are. This situation is a bit like when I was a child, my father took a bench to the open-air cinema with me and explained to me who was Hong Changqing and who was the mountain eagle.
160 minutes later, the lights came on, and the men and women who hung the three sheets left with confused and even a little frustrated faces, holding their dizzy and asleep children in their arms. When they walked out of the crossing, I heard a man. He muttered: This King Kong is not the other King Kong, it is the King Kong that is deformed.
Suddenly, my heart was a little sour. Although the scene was intense and the pictures were wonderful, I felt that we were all tricked into the theater by Michael Bay for a coming-of-age ceremony and farewell to youth.
Save effort and said after the premiere, it's good-looking, but after watching it, I'll watch it and I won't leave you with anything.
Even at this time, our youth is still strong, because we know nothing about its passing.
But after I came out of the theater, I felt that life is like a broken flower and a leaf, which can only drift with the wind.
Optimus Prime is still Optimus Prime, Megatron is still Megatron, but they are no longer ours. They were born again in this era, almost 20 years have passed, and they are not old at all, but they can already buy things on Ebay, and they will transform into a mobile phone. Megatron, once evil but admired by me, is also vulnerable. , In the casual hand of an American kid, it collapsed.
Justice defeats evil, the weak defeats the strong, and mankind is infinitely great. These traditional Hollywood plots were packaged by gorgeous and flamboyant pictures, and swept across the ultra-fast-paced track, turning my youthful memory into a shooting star, burning without leaving ashes.
This can't help but frustrate me.
It is said that when Michael Bay took the film, he was very speculative. Knowing that this was an opportunity to become famous, the result was very speculative. Optimus Prime’s righteous face was dealt with. As an old woman with a squishy mouth, she even talks a little bit about the dialogue. I don’t know if it’s a middle-aged menopausal symptom. The deceptive robots are a bit stupid and idiot. Lao Bei must not understand the starting point of the five-faced monsters making King Kong. Autobots are civilian robots, so they are not aggressive, while Megatrons are. It is a military robot, so it is more aggressive. However, Lao Bei insisted on his own methods and treated both the Autobots and the Decepticons into young and Dangerous boys who had a bit of chicken snacks and snacks.
That's okay, this is just a trick that Lao Bei used to resurrect his soul, and I don't know where this soul came from.
However, like China's "Big Name", this is a successful advertising work. At least in a large number of plots that are irrelevant to the subject, I remember two sponsors: EBAY and NOKIA. There is also a ridicule to the Chinese: Oriental mobile phones or something. There is even a sentence: Everything is possible. I don't know who will wear Li Ning sneakers in the next Transformers, so that the Great American Chauvinists will also learn about Chinese Kungfu.
When I came out of the studio, we went to sing K. I suddenly found that my colleagues around me sang all things I hadn't heard before. I was just dumbfounded. I enjoyed listening and looked very enjoyable, but I didn’t understand and watch. not understand.
This is not an era that belongs to me.
(By the way, send a missing person notice: Ke Zhen's name is Yu Ke. In his memory, his mailing address is somewhere in Shuangliu District, Chengdu. He is fat, a bit like Huang Qiusheng, with a wart on a certain part of his face. To him, please tell him, I lost the Transformers and remember him)
