The brown shell has a raised glass screen inlaid on the front. There are two rotating knobs on the side of the glass screen. The upper knob is for adjusting the console, the lower knob is for adjusting the tone, and there is another one below the two knobs.
The push button is used to control the sound.
Two antennas can be connected to the top of the housing, and the antennas can be rotated 360 degrees to receive signals.
With the sound of "Gada", the TV was turned on, and everyone in the room stared at the screen with their eyes wide open.
“Swiss, swiss, swish…!”
There are no images on the screen, just a "snowflake".
“There’s a show, there’s a show!”
Liu Lang's old uncle also ran over at this time and shouted when he saw this "snowflake".
"There's a fart!"
The second uncle stared.
"Isn't this a show?"
The old man who had never watched TV pointed at the "snowflakes" and said.
"Is this a program? There is a voice in the program!"
The second uncle said seriously.
"What's going on?"
The second uncle started knocking on the TV to get someone to hear the sound.
"Don't knock it. What should I do if it breaks? There is an instruction manual here. Read it first!"
Liu Lang's father scolded.
The instruction manual for this TV is very interesting. There is a circuit diagram on it, which should tell you how to repair it. After all, there is no TV repair department in this era.
"What are these?"
Liu Lang's father scratched his head and couldn't understand at all.
"Dad, that button can be turned, please turn it and try it!"
Liu Lang finally couldn't bear the "slowness" of everyone and spoke up to remind him.
"Button?"
Liu Donglai followed Liu Lang's prompts and reached out to turn the top button.
"Pah...pah...pah!"
As it kept turning, images appeared on the TV soon.
"Coming, coming...!"
The room suddenly burst into cheers.
"This...how can such a big box contain people?"
Tai Nai, who was sitting on the kang, almost jumped up.
"Tainai, this is TV, it's through... well, it can be pretending anyway!"
Even if I explain it to my grandma, she won’t understand.
"I know the coffin can hold people, but the coffin is much bigger than this. Then when I die, I will put it in this box. Look, the people inside can still move!"
Tai Nai suddenly made a funny joke, which made the whole family laugh again.
"Uncle Zhou, sit down quickly, let's watch TV together!"
Liu Donglai greeted him, and everyone immediately found a place to sit down and watched with interest.
The image was very unclear and full of "snowflakes", but no one paid attention.
"Okay, can't you guys clear up the image?"
Liu Lang couldn't help complaining in his heart.
"Dad, the image is not clear, you should fix the antenna!"
Liu Lang reminded him again.
"Antenna? What are you doing with an antenna? This is great!"
Liu Donglai didn't know what his son meant, but he still followed Liu Lang's request and started playing with the antenna.
"call!"
Suddenly the image became clear, almost like looking in a mirror.
"Wow!"
Everyone exclaimed again.
"Yes, this is TV!"
In this era, TV signals are very unstable. Only by adjusting the antenna to the correct position can you receive a clear image. In his previous life, every time he turned on the TV, Liu Lang would hold the antenna and move it left and right as long as the image was not clear. Sometimes the exact position would change.
He could only put his hand on it. He still remembered that he once put his hand on the antenna for twenty minutes to watch a cartoon. Moreover, if the TV failed, it would still leak electricity, although the voltage was not high.
It's big, but it's also numb and uncomfortable, it's painful and joyful at the same time.
In this era, TV can only receive two programs, one is the central program, and the other is the program of Northern Liaoning Province. The programs are also very simple.
What TV shows are there in this era?
Of course, there are very few, and the first one to bear the brunt is naturally the news network of the country that has been unstoppable for decades, unless the earth explodes, we don’t take holidays, the universe doesn’t restart, we don’t rest, and at seven o’clock every night, there is a power outage.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the national rooster map slowly lifted up from the ground. A bright spot rotated around on it, and then a five-pointed star pattern was drawn. There were two English letters of TV in the pattern. At this moment, the News Network broadcast four
The big characters appeared.
In fact, more than ten years later, Liu Lang had hardly watched the news network since he went to college. But now, when he saw this scene for the first time, he could hardly control himself with excitement. It was full of memories.
!
News Network has dominated the screen for decades and no one can compete with it, but the memories left behind are only vague. What Liu Lang remembers the most are those classic advertisements. Every time he sees them, it feels like a lifetime ago.
Three men and women who appeared to be Chinese gathered together many years later. A woman took out a bottle of her favorite treasure. A delicate spoon took out countless small particles from the bottle and put them into the cup. The boiling water melted these particles, and the water vapor rose.
It brought people warmth. Several people sat together and tasted the fragrant aroma in the cup, recalling the good times many years ago. Finally, a man looked outside and said sincerely: Bird's Nest Coffee, it tastes great...!
A simple story and a simple sentence left people with endless aftertaste. It can be said that this advertisement gave Chinese people a taste of Westerners for the first time.
This advertisement was one of the first advertisements for Western products to enter the country. It was of extraordinary significance and also had a great impact on the Chinese people. The story and artistic conception shocked the Chinese people at the time. In contrast, our own advertisements at the same time would have been childish.
.
A group of animated big white cats jumped around together, holding a rare microphone in their hands and shouting the word "white cat". The figure of washing powder kept appearing in the screen. After jumping for more than ten seconds, they finally typed out a few big words.
:White Cat Laundry Detergent to help your hands.
In addition, there are "Feiyue" TV sets, Chunlei radios, radar meters, etc. There were also such a few advertisements on TV in 1982. They were broadcast over and over again, but Liu Lang's family always watched them with gusto.
, even his grandfather watched intently.
In addition to advertisements, there are also animal worlds, tigers, lions, etc. that appear in turn. Liu Lang's uncle loves this program the most, and his parents are also very happy to see it. However, Liu Lang is not concerned about the animals, but the carefree teacher Zhao behind him.
The deep and soothing voice has been accompanied by countless animals. If counted, it will undoubtedly win the highest honor in the world of animal dubbing.
In this era of extreme lack of entertainment, no matter what program it is, it will make the whole family sit together, such as the cartoon "The Mole Story" that Liu Lang still has some memories of more than 30 years later, and the one that was just aired this year.
"Astro Boy" influenced a generation.
In addition, cartoons from SH Art Film Studio, such as "Cricket", "Tintin vs. the Monkey King", "Red Army Bridge", "Crossing Monkey Mountain", "Black Cat Sheriff" and "Calabash Brothers", all just appeared this year.
Adults also like to watch cartoons, but the appearance of a TV series this year made them completely crazy, and that was the first American movie "Garrison's Suicide Squad".
A group of handsome guys and beauties with blond hair and blue eyes are running fearlessly with submachine guns in their hands, beating the enemies and running away. It is both handsome and beautiful, and thrilling. This kind of movie is simply an all-round killing of men, women, adults and children without any blind spots.
, even Liu Lang’s grandfather was fascinated by it, not to mention Liu Lang’s old uncle and second uncle and other young people like him. As a result, within a few days, the old uncle carved a rough "submachine gun" out of wood.
No matter who you hold it in your hand, it will "chunk".
After dinner every night, the family would get together, sometimes with a few people from their neighbor Zhou's family, and nearly a dozen people of all sizes would gather around the TV and enjoy watching it. As for the other neighbors, then
I'm just greedy.
Watching TV has become the most important thing for the Liu family. Liu Lang's second uncle, third uncle and aunt came over and sat in front of the TV as soon as they got off work. As long as there was a movie in it, they would watch it with joy until Liu Lang's grandfather came over and shouted.
