Genye took the plastic box and looked at the promotional poster painted on the outside of the box. To his surprise, the promotional poster was not printed directly on the box like the common practice in the era before he traveled through time, but rather if it was printed on the box in the last century. Old DVDs are usually painted on pieces of paper and attached to the outside of the box.
The style of the promotional poster is that of the Sailor animation of the last century, but the characters drawn are those of the new theatrical version. Even Makiha has it, but it uses the feeling of the old TV version of EVA painting style, even the inevitable hand-drawing. There are some rough spots, and it doesn’t look like computer graphics at all, but the color processing in some places is difficult to complete by hand painting. People can’t help but admire the skill of the person who copied this BD, and at the same time, it’s a bit ridiculous.
"Where did you get this?" Yuanye raised his head and asked with strong interest.
"I got it from the owner of a small shop that I met recently that sells prosthetic parts." Hoshino Shiori replied, "He said that this kind of thing is hard to find, but there are a lot of online resources. Physical versions of him Then this is the one, after all, CDs can only be stored for 20 to 30 years under normal circumstances. This one was re-recorded and produced by enthusiastic fans in the 1950s."
"That's really rare. I have to thank that boss." Yuan Ye nodded. It was not surprising. Before he traveled through time, he knew this kind of owner who seemed to be just an ordinary shop. In fact, he was in some kind of niche field. The collections of enthusiasts are often extremely horrifying.
At that age when Yuan Ye didn't even know what a magnet link was, he would secretly go to a black Internet cafe on weekends to surf the Internet. After spending the little pocket money he had, he would sneak into the old man's small shop and shamelessly I watched the animation played on the small black TV the boss placed on the top of the container.
In that small and stuffy space, he watched a lot of old animations produced during the heyday of the Yingzhou OVA market in the last century. This became his later enlightenment, which naturally included EVA.
——Wait, this doesn’t seem to be the time for me to reflect on my life, right?
The emotional radar in Yuanye's head started to work for the first time in a long time, making him feel something was wrong.
——After hearing my recommendation, Hoshino-san became interested in watching EVA, which makes me very happy. After all, the number of fans has increased, and she is still a beautiful girl. No matter how you say it, it is a good thing.
——But why would she want to watch it with me?
Yuan Ye was very puzzled. After thinking about it again and again, he decided to ask directly.
"EVA is a work that is almost a hundred years old. I don't know what the physical version looks like, so I don't know if it is real." Yuanye asked tentatively, "But in my opinion, watching the movie is It’s a very personal matter. Now that you have found a precious physical version of the resource, why not enjoy it yourself? I remember this apartment has a public audio-visual room, right?"
This apartment was used as a place for training senior cadres of the Black Dragon Club, so it naturally has a video room, and it is also very luxuriously built into a high-end private theater that can accommodate eight people.
"That's right, but the video room doesn't have the equipment to read the CD, so I can't watch it." Hoshino Shiori replied, "I remember there is one in your room."
Only then did Yuan Ye realize that in 2077, optical discs were almost eliminated in the field of mass circulation, and the purchase of entertainment works had become completely electronic, similar to the way he purchased BD collections before time travel. In 2077, It turned into something more advanced - a secret key enclosed in a metal box.
Nice romance
This secret key represents access to a database running in synchronous orbit. One satellite is only used to store one work. Thanks to the extremely developed commercial aviation industry in 2077, this idea has become a reality. Among them There are often some unique contents stored that can only be seen by visiting this satellite, which is a symbol of hardcore fans of this work.
However, things like network cloud storage were relatively developed before Yuanye time travel. Under this premise, those who still do "hamster party" and carry out physical storage are not only for collection, but also worried about what if the operator cannot continue to provide services. at this point.
Unfortunately, although this collection method of connecting secret keys greatly enhances the meaning of collection, it still cannot solve the latter problem. However, this demand was stigmatized due to the interests of merchants, and it was already publicized by the public in 2077. It is regarded as a "useless demand", and the corresponding field of physical collection is also close to extinction. It can only be said to be a very regretful thing for Yuanye, because he is the kind of person who will continue to save to the hard disk even if he buys the genuine version. The hamster party of resources.
As for Yuan Ye, there is a machine that can read discs here because of his personal hobbies. Before he time traveled, the PS5 was on the market, and the price was sold to the sky by scalpers, so he, who had been eager to buy it, could only wait, but Before the price could be reduced, he was hit by a big truck.
This became a knot in Yuanye's heart. He happened to see someone selling something similar to "antique antiques" online, so he bought one and put it back. Of course, there was a device for reading optical discs in it. He traveled through time A friend had erectile dysfunction due to video games. He bought a game console and only used it as a Blu-ray player to watch movies with his wife.
And because it was modernized in 2077, it can be seamlessly integrated into the house’s smart system.
"Your observations are really careful." Yuan Ye was a little surprised.
"I noticed it accidentally." Hoshino Shiori added in a low voice, "Besides, I also want to find someone who has watched it to watch it together. If there is anything I don't understand, he can explain it to me."
——How come there is such a wooden guy? Isn’t it obvious that I found the disc specifically because I knew you had the equipment to read the disc? Find out soon.
Although he tried to hide the incident with a smile, Hoshino Shiori couldn't help but complain in his heart.
It's a pity that Yuan Ye didn't think about this. Instead, he took the disc and inserted it into the reading device. The intelligent system noticed this behavior and after he sat on the sofa, he turned off all the lights in the room and turned on the projection and lights around the sofa. The weak background light enters the movie viewing mode.
"What's wrong?" Genya turned his head and looked at Hoshino Shiori, who was still standing there, picking up a glass of iced Coke from the tray of the smart machine that moved to his side, "Didn't you say you wanted to watch it together?"
"...Why are you so natural?" Hoshino Shiori was stunned for a while, and after denying countless words in his mind, he suppressed such a question that was neither good nor bad.
"Isn't this normal?" Yuan Ye asked in confusion.
"...Forget it." Finally, Hoshino Shiori gave up the struggle, and sat next to Genya with a sense of self-destruction. She picked up the ice coke next to her and drank it hard, and then started to choke on the carbon dioxide. cough.
"Be careful." Genya pulled two tissues and handed them to Hoshino Shiori. After she finished cleaning them, she ordered the smart system to start playing.
A clear picture appeared on the projection, but it was the old TV version of EVA. This surprised Genya. He was already prepared that Hoshino Shiori was actually looking for the new theatrical version. After all, the promotional poster on the box was the new one. The character in the theater version, but I didn’t expect that she actually carefully found the old TV version.
This made Genya secretly look at Hoshino Shiori, trying to gather some information from the other person's expression.
But the girl seemed to be staring at the screen seriously, and the projected light reflected from the wall onto her face, making her seem not to notice his movements.
