"Teacher Yuan, do you dare to say that I am not handsome? Look at it more clearly!"
On the screen, Stephen Chow finished his last line. The audience thought it was the last line in the movie, but Yao Yuan knew that the scene just now was his last second as an actor.
After the screening of "Yangtze River No. 7" was over, the audience took their stance one after another with indifferent expressions.
“Just so so!”
"It's not good, I was sleepy in the middle!"
"Nothing interesting!"
Yao Yuan pulled Yinyin away and asked, "What do you think?"
"It's great! Stephen Chow is still so inspiring. Now that he is older, he may return to his original aspiration and be more authentic than before."
"This angle is quite unique."
"What makes him unique? He never mocks little people, hard work, or love. I will always support him!"
Yinyin waved her fist, looking like a crazy fan.
Yao Yuan smiled, as of "Yangtze River No. 7", Stephen Chow's movie concept was indeed this, but later it didn't work, and the legend of a generation came to an end.
The two of them walked out of the cinema and looked at the streets decorated with lights and colorful decorations on the eve of the Spring Festival. People were happy, eating and drinking, which was completely opposite to the scene of the snowstorm in the south.
Today is February 2nd, and New Year’s Eve is on the 6th.
"Ip Man" and "Yangtze River No. 7" were released one after another. The former has a good reputation and the latter has acceptable reviews.
It doesn't have the ridiculous laughs that I've seen before, nor the endless aftertaste of watching "Kung Fu". Stephen Chow chose a child as the protagonist. The whole film is too childlike and makes people feel a bit like a children's film.
On the other hand, "Ip Man" was shown twice in Guangzhou, and the news broke the entire Internet.
“The most unique screening ever!”
"There is no love in the snowstorm, and the brilliant light and shadow soothes the heart!"
“Guangzhou made a surprising move to appease stranded passengers, and the effect is remarkable!”
"The box office of "Ip Man" was not greatly affected by the snowstorm, and it has exceeded 36 million in four days of release!"
This kind of rhythm is directly aimed at over 100 million. These days, over 100 million is still a very glorious thing. However, 99 Entertainment can easily produce two movies to get it, which makes the peers psychologically break their defenses.
The two got in the car and prepared to go home.
Yinyin said: "My dad is back and has made an appointment with your parents to discuss marriage."
"Didn't my parents talk to your mother? What's the matter, the North Korean nuclear crisis? Are we still talking about it for five, six, seven or eight rounds?"
"I didn't know that they thought it was such a big deal and wanted to call us there. I said I was busy with disaster relief and had no time!"
Mentioning this, Yinyin couldn't help but show a hint of admiration and admiration, saying: "This time you really, completely confirmed my previous opinion of you."
"I didn't, I wasn't, you got it wrong!"
Yao Yuan denied the three consecutive scandals and said: "I just want to get a golden statue for myself, and after the snowstorm is over, I can use the enthusiasm of the masses to sell more products."
"Bah! Do you admit that you can die?"
"How can I admit it without me?"
"I'm too lazy to care about you!"
Yinyin turned around, but she couldn't help but curl up her lips at the shadow reflected by the car window. Looking for a man, if he really smells like copper and only cares about money, no matter how handsome or talented he is, it's almost useless.
…………
Guangzhou Train Station.
Counting from the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, it has already reached the ninth day. It is known as the "11 days of ice and snow". It seems that the dawn is about to usher in, but little does it know that the darkness before dawn is the most painful.
Small batches of passengers were transported away in batches, and each time the gate was opened it was a big gamble.
The people in front are running as hard as they can, and the people behind are squeezing as hard as they can. It doesn’t matter if they are the ones they want to get on, as long as they can get out of this hellish place.
God was not kind to us either, and the rain fell intermittently, making it even more depressing.
It will be afternoon, the sky is dim, gray clouds are gathering, and the train station is filled with an indescribable smell, as if people's emotions have taken on substance, mixed with body odor and moisture, making everyone upset.
A young policeman had not slept for two days and was short of food. He saw a trampled mango on the ground and picked it up and took a few bites.
"hurry up!"
"I'm coming!"
At the greeting of his colleagues, he threw away the mango peel and hurried over, his scalp numbing again.
People are surrounded by guardrails, and a gap must be opened every time someone is let in. Their task is to guard the gap and avoid trouble.
"are you ready?"
"alright!"
"alright!"
"Then I'm going to start, so I have to stop!"
"3,2,1..."
The little policeman held the railing on the right side, took a quick breath, and when he heard "open", he pushed the railing outward, and then, boom!
It was as if a dam had opened its gates and a torrent of water rushed out.
"..."
The little policeman used his hands, his chest, and his whole body to press against the railing to avoid being overwhelmed by the irrational crowd.
"Don't crowd me, I'll definitely let you get on the bus!"
"Wait a minute for those behind you, it's not your turn yet!"
"Please stop crowding!"
My colleague held a loudspeaker and shouted almost begging, but no one listened.
After an unknown amount of time, the little policeman heard the words "Close it" and "Close it quickly" in his ears. He immediately pushed the railing in and tried hard to block the gap like a flood.
When the guardrail was completely sealed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was safe again.
I couldn't help but murmur some complaints.
"We can't do this all the time. It's too dangerous. It'll be over once."
"Didn't you watch a movie?"
"Watching movies all the time is not enough, I have to think of other ways."
"What can be done? I can only waste it and wait for the power grid to be restored..."
Yes, what can be done?
The little policeman looked around and saw that the train station was not a miserable situation in the world. After all, there were enough supplies, but everyone's spirits were broken. Some were shouting and crying in the rain, and some climbed to the roof of the radio car and shouted
cried:
"I want to go home!"
"I want to go home!"
Just like this, another day passed, the rain stopped again, and people calmed down for the time being - it was time to watch movies. Large curtains were set up at appropriate locations in various areas, and comedy movies had been shown for several days.
It does work at first, but it won't work for a long time.
After all, the little policeman was young and out-of-the-box, and he specially found a good position.
"What's on today?"
"It's from Stephen Chow."
"It's Stephen Chow again, can it be replaced by Ge You?"
While we were talking, the screen turned on. When the little policeman took a look, hey, the beginning was different. It didn't look like a movie, but more like a newsreel.
"Hello everyone, I am Hunan TV reporter xx, I am now in Changsha."
"Hello everyone, I am now in Guangxi..."
"I am now in Guizhou..."
"I am now in Henan..."
The crowd was excited and commotion, because this was indeed a set of newsreels put together, and inside it was what they needed most, information!
When the south is hit by a disaster, TV stations from all over the country will of course report it.
"Guangxi is working hard to provide disaster relief!"
"Guizhou rescue officers and soldiers go deep into the mountainous areas and will never give up on anyone!"
“Sichuan’s military and civilians work together to fight against the snowstorm, and man will conquer nature!”
"..."
The crowd watched and slowly became silent. Countless pairs of eyes stared at the curtain. There were their hometowns and strange places on it, but no matter what, the people inside were bursting with a strong spirit and enthusiasm.
They were clearing ice and snow from the highway, using their lives to climb on the power grid to remove ice, and took a child out from under a collapsed house. The mother took the child and cried on her knees...
xx Loveless people have feelings!
Every time there is a major disaster, officials will always say this sentence. Some people may think it is a slogan, but only those who have experienced it personally know how much power this sentence contains.
From the 1998 flood to the great earthquake, this energy has been engraved in our genes.
The newsreel continues to play.
Everyone cherishes this hard-earned information, letting them know: Oh, it turns out that it is like this outside, it turns out that so many people are affected by the disaster, and it turns out that this snow disaster is so harmful.
Even if they are trapped in the train station and cannot go home, they will feel a sense of empathy when they see those compatriots who are really affected by the snow disaster.
After playing the disaster relief records from various places, the screen switched to the Hebei region, and the subtitles said a certain county and a certain village.
"This is my home!"
Suddenly someone screamed, his eyes widened in disbelief. As reporters and cameras moved forward, he was even more surprised: "It's my home! My home! That's my house!"
Of course this is his home.
For this short film, relevant departments in Guangzhou and CCTV achieved a highly efficient cross-regional cooperation. At the same time, there was also cooperation from many parties. For example, the projection equipment was provided by China Film and the planning was provided by Yao Yuan.
CCTV reporters visited the hometowns of stranded tourists and interviewed relatives and family members. There were five groups in total, some from the Central Plains, some from the north, and the most typical one was Chenzhou.
"Son, everything is fine at home. Your mother and I went shopping for the New Year this morning... I know you are in difficulty now, but don't worry. Trust the government. We will wait for you to come back for the New Year..."
The man had already covered his face and kept nodding.
Then came another place, and another place, and the fifth group’s turn was Chenzhou. Why is Chenzhou so typical? Because it is the hardest-hit area.
"I am currently in a vegetable market, and a meat vendor told me that because there was no electricity a few days ago, I bought less pork for fear of spoilage. Now that power has been restored in some areas, I specially bought 2 and a half heads of pork belly today."
"This place sells vegetables. There are eggplants, celery, garlic, garlic sprouts... It's quite complete. The price is a little more expensive than in the past, but it's still affordable. The boss hung a red lantern at the door. What a difficulty.
It can’t stop us from celebrating the New Year.”
"As you can see, the largest number of people on this street are electric workers. We have mobilized more than 4,000 electric maintenance workers from all over the country, so you can often hear Sichuan, Qinghai, Henan, and Tangshan dialects speaking in their shoes.
My socks were wet all day long because no one was available for rotation."
"This is the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital. A total of 220 babies have been born in the past ten days. Let's take a look at this little guy. How cute he is..."
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
The newborn's cry spread throughout the train station, and the wrinkled and ugly child infected everyone's heart.
Everyone’s first wish is to go home, but what’s the second wish? Of course, they want to know the situation outside and see normal things, because their current environment is abnormal, don’t make any big claims.
The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to mortal hearts.
"Chenzhou Tong, Train Tong!"
"As you have seen, we are doing our best to repair the power grid and restore the railway as soon as possible!"
After showing these contents again, we finally came to a temporary settlement point.
"Many houses in the village were crushed. Our house is fine, but we can't live in it for the time being for safety reasons. People in the village are celebrating the New Year here this year, and everyone knows each other. It's nice to have a lively atmosphere."
"The main thing is okay!"
"That's right, as long as everything is fine, it's fine, as long as everything is fine, it's fine!"
"Comrade reporter, can you take a picture of grandma? This child and grandma are the best."
"Yes, of course!"
When the camera turned, a white-haired old lady appeared, grinning with few teeth left, holding a bamboo basket with bacon in her hand, and her speech was even more slurred.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
A man in his thirties huddled in the crowd, already sobbing.
…………
In the temporary headquarters.
The atmosphere was also very strange. The person in charge suddenly felt like a director, directing a well-planned drama on the spot, and said hurriedly: "Quickly! Let the crowd deliver dumplings immediately!"
"Send dumplings! Send dumplings!"
The instructions are passed on and executed immediately.
A group of residents and volunteers, who had already prepared meals and were waiting for them, came from all directions under the guidance, with small pots and basins in their hands, steaming hot.
The passengers, who were still immersed in the newsreel and even crying together, found that before they could calm down, there were many more people around them, all of them enthusiastic.
"Young man, let's have something to eat! Specially made soup. You guys have worked so hard. Come on, come on!"
"These are dumplings made by our family, don't dislike them!"
"Does anyone want to eat glutinous rice balls? There are enough glutinous rice balls!"
"I've made a lot of wontons. Come on, don't be polite. You see, the kids are hungry!"
Various hot soups and foods were stuffed into the hands, the aroma was fragrant, and the Cantonese songs often heard in the ears were filled, making the travelers confused, funny and heart-warming.
Who are they?
Hit the workers!
When have workers ever felt warmth?
…
"Absolutely awesome!"
Everyone in the headquarters couldn't help but sigh, and said one after another: "This crooked trick is quite effective!"
"Hey, it looks like a crooked move on the surface. Take a closer look and you'll see there's a lot of truth behind it!"
"It's not a big deal, but it's very interesting to know how to prescribe the right medicine."
From the beginning to the present, the masses and the authorities have been like a game. When emotions arise on one side, they have to find ways to calm them down. Old tricks don’t work, and new ones have to be thought of immediately...
First broadcast the newsreel, then deliver the dumplings. In Yao Yuan’s words, this is called a two-pronged approach both online and offline.
Everyone also relaxed. This new trick can last at least two days, and Chenzhou will be repaired soon. If it lasts, it will be a success.
…………
The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the 11th day of being stranded at the train station.
The front of the station seems to be the same as before, with people standing, sitting, and lying around. In the front area, a person is leaning on the guardrail and looking at the sky in a daze, taking a sip of water from time to time.
Suddenly, he stopped, tilted his head and raised his ears.
"Woooo..."
That's right, it's the train horn.
He instantly became excited, because it was his turn to get on the bus, and he grabbed the front seat. He immediately picked up his luggage and woke up his fellow villagers: "Hey, the bus is here, the bus is here!"
"oh oh!"
The fellow countryman rubbed his eyes, carried his luggage in a daze, turned around, and raised his head unconsciously.
"Why is the scarlet letter gone?"
"What scarlet letter?"
"The one on the screen..."
The man suddenly raised his eyes, first in disbelief, and then turned into ecstasy. He couldn't control himself and started shouting: "It's fixed!"
"It's fixed! You can go!!!"
What??
More people looked up, and sure enough, the electronic screen finally changed. The red letters that had been full of them disappeared and turned into rows of green fonts:
