On July 21, 1984, the capital city was sunny.

Li Ye woke 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, the phone ringing still rang on time.

After answering the phone, it was indeed unexpected that Wenleyu called it.

"Let's go Li Ye, today we go to the Longtan Lake Railway Bridge to take a walk. My brother said there is a flower, bird and fish market there. There are several alleys around Longtan Lake, which is quite interesting. We can take some meaningful photos with Xiao Ruo.

You are wearing those blue pants, short-sleeved white shirt today, don’t wear sandals, just wear them back to strength, if you sweat, I will wash your socks for you.”

Listening to Wen Leyu's arrangements one by one, Li Ye couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling a little weak in energy.

"Xiao Yu, why don't we take a day off! Look at the temperature meter, thirty-nine degrees, if you look in the mirror again, you're almost tanned?"

"Have you been tanned? Wait, don't hang up!"

Wen Leyu on the other end of the phone lost his voice, and Li Ye guessed that she was going to look in the mirror.

Sure enough, half a minute later, Wenleyu returned to Ali and said, "You are talking nonsense. I took it carefully three times, and I didn't tan at all.

But you have been a little tan these days, which is much more pleasing than before. If you tan a little more, it would be just right."

""

Through the phone, Li Ye could hear Wen Leyu's expectations for him. 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 Oppa these days, but there are also white-faced scholars, right? Why is my model not as good as the Black Iron Tower?

How about I'll give you a bald skin? I'll definitely bring the aura of a tough guy.]

However, Wen Leyu had no time to wait for Li Ye's psychological activities. When he heard that Li Ye had no movement, he immediately said, "Call Xiaoruo and I'll say a few words to her."

"Xiao Ruo"

Li Ye was about to say that Xiaoruo had not gotten up yet, but he saw Fu Yiruo coming over.

Li Ye had no choice but to call Fu Yiruo: "Here, Xiaoyu is looking for you."

Fu Yiruo smiled and took the phone call, then said to Wen Leyu over there: "Sister-in-law, are you looking for me? Where are we going to play today?"

"Xiaoruo, have you forgotten what I said to you?" Wen Leyu said: "Except at home, don't call me sister-in-law the rest of the time, but call me sister Xiaoyu. We must keep it confidential now."

"Oh, I keep it secret"

Fu Yiruo chatted with Wen Leyu, and even took paper and wrote down some things.

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 by myself."

Li Ye sighed and was about to speak, but Fu Yiruo continued to ask, "But my sister-in-law told me to pay attention to taking pictures of the mother-in-law on the way. What does it mean to take pictures of the mother-in-law?"

""

"She told you to shoot the old lady?"

"Yeah, I said it."

Li Ye couldn't help but smile and said, "Did she tell you that? She told me, okay?"

There are many turtles under the feet of the capital, and there are many young people who photographed women in the 1980s, and they are all socialites.

For example, at the bus stop, I took the girl's bag over and hung it on my shoulders, and then I started to become poor.

"What are you doing?"

"What am I not doing?"

"What are you not doing, why are you robbing my bag?"

"Where did I grab your bag? I felt tired and sorry for you to carry it for you for a while."

Girls in the 1980s are not as thoughtful as girls in later generations.

When you are poor, you become familiar with each other. Later, you are targeted and entangled. There are always simple girls who are successful by the candy!

If you don’t believe it, just look at how many good girls there are around you, and you’ll be done with the hands of the street.

"Then let's go! Your brother, I'm not tired at all. I'll follow you and get more and more energetic."

Li Ye had to go out with Fu Yiruo, and helped Fu Yiruo pick up 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, this Leica M3 unexpectedly played a role in quickly getting the relationship between the two.

After returning to the capital, Wen Leyu owned a Red Flag 20 camera, which was considered a big toy given to her by her family. In the 1980s, this big toy was definitely not something that ordinary people could afford to play with.

Other people's children have a football, and they feel very happy to have a basketball. Who would expect a red flag camera that costs thousands of dollars?

Even if you can’t bear to use film, how can you do photography?

Wen Leyu was not obsessed with photography at the beginning. She just wanted to leave each other's memory when she led Li Ye to tour the capital.

However, after Li Ye took advertisements for Fenghua clothing, and after playing a spear in the lonely military literary club, Wen Leyu was impressed by Li Ye's ability to pose, and his interest in photography suddenly increased.

Her purpose is also very simple, it is to work hard to improve Li Ye's handsomeness in the photos.

On the second day after knowing Fu Yiruo, when the three of them went out to play, Wen Leyu took out his Red Flag 20 camera and wanted to give one to the brother and sister, while Fu Yiruo took out his Leica M3.

The Hongqi 20 is a copy of Leica M3. The two immediately had a common topic and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of imitation and original products, as well as photography experience and technology.

This discussion doesn’t matter. It turns out that Fu Yiruo had his own camera when he was ten years old and had not interrupted all kinds of studies in the past seven or eight years.

So Xiaoruo is not a professional photographer! But she is definitely a master among amateur photographers. Just a topic on "aperture" can make her chat with Wen Leyu for a long time.

So after a few days, Li Ye was called over by the two of them as models.

It would be fine if the physical energy was consumed, but the tossing of being constantly asked to "lift your chin a little higher and tilt your shoulders two centimeters to the left" really made him uninterested. If it weren't for the harmony of his sister-in-law's relationship, Li Ye would have turned the table over and quit.

The same is true today. When Li Ye and Fu Yiruo arrived at Longtan Lake, they saw Wen Leyu, who had a red flag 20 hanging around his neck, standing on a step, waving to the two of them.

When the three of them got together, Wen Leyu took out a shot from his bag.

"Xiaoruo, look, this is the advanced optical glass lens I just changed to. It is said that it uses lanthanide rare earth materials. After taking pictures today, I will compare it with your Leica."

"A high-end lens!" Fu Yiruo said in surprise: "The quality of your camera is no worse than mine. If there are better lenses, it will definitely surpass my Leica."

Wen Leyu shook his head and said a little lonely: "Xiaoruo, don't always say good things. To be honest, my Red Flag 20 is not as good as your Leica,

I carefully compared the photos taken by the two cameras. Although the difference is small, there are only ones. We admit that it’s nothing to fall behind, just try to catch up."

Fu Yiruo was a little surprised. Her experience in Malay taught her to communicate with others in a likable way. Now she was very surprised when facing the realistic Wen Leyu.

Fu Yiruo had no choice but to say: "Sister Xiaoyu, I actually compared your Red Flag 20. Among the several imitations of Leica M3, it is a little weaker than Britain's, and better than the imitations of several other countries."

Wen Leyu looked at Fu Yiruo in surprise and said, "Have you compared this?"

Fu Yiruo nodded and said, "I once consulted a teacher in Malay. She likes to collect cameras. After the release of Leica M3, there are at least ten imitations in the world.

Among them, Britain has the highest level of imitation, and Japan also has its own highlights. Your red flag can rank third, which is the third in the world!

My teacher said that those who can imitate Leica M3 are developed countries, and ordinary countries do not even have the ability to imitate. At least no one in Nanyang can imitate Leica."

"Is that true?"

Wen Leyu was a little surprised after hearing Fu Yiruo's words.

In the early 1980s, after seeing the outside world, the shadow of "backwardness" was heavily pressed on the head, making people like Wen Leyu feel depressed.

But Fu Yiruo now said that the mainland is a "developed country", so how can this not be surprising?

"Xiao Ruo's words are wrong, but they are not wrong, because ordinary countries do not have the ability to imitate Leica."

Li Ye explained: "Camera is a high-tech product among industrial products, which represents to a certain extent the industrial level of a country. The per capita income of the mainland is a poor country, but the industrial level of the mainland is at least there."

Li Ye had no choice but to promote the flower planter's future as a factory in the world at this time of 1984. After saying that, others thought he was mentally ill.

However, the situation in the mainland has the most complete industrial classification in the world and has a sufficiently comprehensive industrial foundation, but it is a fact.

Of course, it only exists and is far from forming market competitiveness.

For example, Hongqi 20, it was jointly designed and developed by the Institute of Optical Precision Mechanical Instruments, the Academy of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Shanghai Camera Factory 2.

Only through cooperation with this specification can hundreds of products be rubbed, but they do not have the ability to go on the market on a large scale.

But there is nothing, there is much more potential than the so-called "developed countries" that can't even collect industrial categories.

Especially in the mainland, there are still a group of unyielding engineers.

In order to achieve Leica's performance, they also made small quantities of advanced optical glass lenses, which is why many people insist that the lens quality of the "Red Flag 20" is higher than that of Leica lenses.

Li Ye believes that this spirit of unyielding is the confidence and reason for the rise of the mainland.

Although mainland cameras have not reached the world's top level decades later, 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 hot product, which will make the whole world surrender.

They just hope to try not to stimulate the mainland and not engage in any "technical blockade". It would be better if this time comes later.
