Zhou Jiaming is a prospective college student who is about to enter university. In just over a month, he will be admitted to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
He has just watched Wu Yusen's new film "Face". In addition to the two leading actors, he also particularly likes Carina Chow and Shinobu Nakayama.
Hong Kong movie fans are all familiar with Carina Chow. She competed in the Miss Asia beauty pageant in 1991. In the same year, she played the female villain Ah Ning in "Tomb Raiders 2" and became a hot supporting role.
Winning or losing does not matter.
"Tomb Raiders 2" made Carina Chow famous overnight, and also fixed her acting career. From then on, Carina Chow starred in scheming female villains, especially good at playing female killers and bodyguards. In "Face Changing", Carina Chow played
A female gangster who had a lot of scenes opposite Zhou Runfa.
As for Nakayama Shinobi, she plays Zhou Runfa's daughter. She looks cute and adorable, but in her heart she is unruly and willful.
Just because she is so beautiful, many Hong Kong viewers like the Japanese girl Shinobu Nakayama. Unfortunately, information is underdeveloped nowadays. Even the gossip magazines in Hong Kong know nothing about Shinobu Nakayama, and no one is willing to spend energy to investigate.
Report.
"Oh, it would be great if my future girlfriend is as cute as Shinobu Nakayama." Zhou Jiaming came out of the cinema and couldn't help but fantasize in his heart. He was very eager for the upcoming college life, and maybe they would meet each other on campus.
Such a sweet girl.
After wandering aimlessly on the street for a while, Zhou Jiaming unknowingly arrived outside a building in Central and suddenly saw a huge promotional poster on the second floor.
The main body of the poster is printed with a photo of Li Saifeng. She is wearing a white ancient dress and flying swords. Her image is cute and gentle. Next to the giant photo is the slogan: "I am Li Saifeng, and I am in "Piaomiao Journey"
Waiting for you!"
what's the situation?
Zhou Jiaming was stunned and didn't understand, and murmured to himself: "Could it be that "Journey to the Miao" has been made into a movie? But I didn't hear anyone say that!"
Hong Kong people all know that Kang Jianfei is a writer. His second work is "Journey to Piaomiao". His book fans are spread among all ages from 12 to 70 years old, and Zhou Jiaming is naturally one of them.
He looked at the advertising poster curiously and finally found a strange line of large characters - Charm__cafe, please go to the second floor.
What the hell is an Internet cafe?
Zhou Jiaming knew that this word was the Internet, but how could it be related to coffee?
With huge doubts, Zhou Jiaming couldn't help but walk towards the second floor. He remembered that this place used to be a cinema, but it closed two months ago. Part of it was sublet and turned into a restaurant, and the remaining part has been under renovation.
Soon Zhou Jiaming found Charming Internet Cafe on the second floor. There was actually a welcoming lady at the door, who smiled at him and said: "Hello, welcome!"
"Well, what do you do as an Internet cafe?" Zhou Jiaming couldn't help but ask.
One of the welcome ladies introduced: "An Internet cafe is an Internet cafe. You can drink coffee and afternoon tea here, and you can also use your computer to surf the Internet freely."
"Use a computer to surf the Internet?" Zhou Jiaming's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he was born in a middle-class family, he has never touched a computer and has only seen it in some film and television works.
The welcoming lady said: "Yes, we only charge 20 yuan per hour to access the Internet. There are only three in Hong Kong."
The charge of 20 yuan an hour was not very expensive in Hong Kong in 1994. Today, the average ticket price of a movie in Hong Kong is 41 yuan, and the monthly salary of an ordinary factory worker (clerk) is about 6,500.
Even if you come to an Internet cafe to surf the Internet every day and play for two hours a day, you will only spend 1,200 yuan in a month.
Zhou Jiaming walked in and saw that there were not many people inside, maybe seven or eight, and most of the computers were empty. The rows of computers, at least hundreds of them, gave him a very impactful feeling.
Sci-fi feel.
After paying the 40 yuan Internet fee, Zhou Jiaming turned on the computer under the guidance of the welcoming lady, and then said embarrassedly: "Well, can you teach me? I'm not very good at operating it."
They are said to be greeting ladies, but they are actually the waiters and instructors in Internet cafes. After all, most people nowadays don't know how to play computers. They are novices and must be taught step by step.
"Actually, computers are very easy. The computers in our Charming Internet Cafe use the win3.
"
Under the guidance of the welcoming lady, Zhou Jiaming quickly became familiar with the basic operations. The other party also gave him a book, which contained basic DOS input instructions and a tutorial on the Chinese Cangjie typing method.
Ever since, classmate Zhou Jiaming, a standard computer novice, started his great career as an otaku, poking at various icons.
"Wow, I can really listen to music!"
The win3.1 system can play audio files, and the functions of win3.x are more comprehensive. Zhou Jiaming put on his headphones, listened to Zhou Huimin's singing, and casually poked into a web page.
"Hey, what is this?" Zhou Jiaming was very curious about everything on the computer.
Today, there is no web browser that can be commercialized. The browser of Charming Internet Cafe is half copycat and half original.
It uses the mosaic code developed by ncsa (Kang Jianfei had to pay patent fees), and combined with the idea given by Kang Jianfei, the laboratory staff of the Chinese University of Hong Kong finally produced a brand new browser, named Oriental Charm Browser.
Referred to as ec browser.
Strictly speaking, ec browser is the world's first browser with pictures and text, allowing ordinary users to browse text and pictures on the website. Before this, the browser could only be used by professionals. This was a revolutionary achievement in the history of the development of the Internet.
.
The same type of scape0.9 browser will not come out for another two to three months, but Kang Jianfei is a step ahead.
Don’t be surprised why the Oriental Internet Technology R&D Laboratory has achieved significant results in such a short period of time. It’s not that the scientific researchers at HKUST are too awesome, but that today’s technology accumulation has matured, and what’s missing is just creativity.
Kang Jianfei's casual remarks were like piercing a layer of window paper, allowing R&D personnel to find the right direction.
Just a few days ago, the ec browser has just applied for a patent in various places around the world. Kang Jianfei is about to go to Silicon Valley in the United States to prepare to start his own Internet company. The main product is the ec browser.
The homepage of the browser that Zhou Xiaoming entered was none other than Oriental Charm. As a novice who doesn't understand computers at all, he could easily browse various contents. The pictures and text on the homepage dazzled him.
He casually clicked on celebrity gossip, and a new page immediately popped up, including content about European and American stars, Japanese stars, Hong Kong stars, etc.
After poking and prodding continuously, Zhou Xiaoming suddenly saw the name of Nakayama Shinobi. He quickly opened it and saw various information recorded in detail under the picture of Nakayama Shinobu——
Nakayama Shinobu, nationality: Japanese; occupation: singer, actor; English name shinobunakayama; blood type: b; birthplace: Koganei City, Tokyo; date of birth: January 18, 1973; zodiac sign: Capricorn; detailed introduction: Nakayama Shinobu is a Japanese
The younger sister of celebrity Miho Nakayama was discovered by a talent scout when she went to the airport to see her sister off in her second year of middle school...
"Wow, computers are indeed high-tech, and they even have information about celebrities!" Zhou Xiaoming, a classmate, was shocked.
