Chapter 2206, The movie is released, empty alley 2
Daming Square, South District, Beijing.
Daming Square is now the most important point in the entire capital. The square is very large, as large as more than a dozen football fields. It is also a place open to the public free of charge. Generally, any large-scale activities will be held here.
.
It is very lively here every day, with a large number of people coming here to play. Even in winter, many people still choose to come to Daming Square.
At this moment, with the publicity in the Ming Ming Morning News, everyone knows what kind of movies will be shown in Daming Square in the next few days. Therefore, when it is still early in the day, a large number of people who are full and have nothing to do have already brought their food to the theater.
I got on the stool and arrived at Daming Square early.
Everyone is also full of curiosity about the movie and want to know what it is.
And Huo Qubing defeated the Xiongnu. Many people who have not read books do not know this historical event at all. After this propaganda in the newspapers, everyone knows that it turned out to be a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty who sealed the wolf as Xu.
The allusion begins with him.
Now, everyone became even more curious. In line with the principle that joining in the fun is not too much, and besides, there are basically not many activities other than making people at night, so everyone hurried after get off work and dinner. Bring your whole family to Daming Square.
Of course, these are ordinary people in the capital. They are not willing to spend money to go to the stadium to watch movies. For people in the capital who are wealthy and care about their status, they would rather spend some money to buy tickets at the stadium and go inside to watch this or something.
Movie.
Anyway, it’s not very expensive. One tael of silver is enough for an ordinary ticket. Those with better locations may be more expensive, but the worst thing in Beijing is the rich. Who cares about those few silver dollars.
In large stadiums such as the Royal Stadium in Beijing, Zhang's Stadium, Dongcheng Stadium, and Nan District Stadium, prominent figures in Beijing also came with their families to watch this movie.
There is no other way. The emperor has issued an order. All civil and military officials in the capital must bring their families and families to watch. Even if they don't want to come out, they have to come out. Even the women and children at home must be brought out.
.
The major stadiums were already busy with traffic early on. A large number of cars gathered there, so much so that there was a traffic jam. Reputable people from the entire capital area were dispatched. The scale was too big, and every household had many cars.
It would be strange if there is no traffic jam.
Here in Daming Square, the staff of Daming Pictures are constantly busy, setting up the stage, arranging the curtains and speakers, setting up the projector and waiting for the screening to start as soon as it gets dark.
"Is this a movie?"
"Why do you need to put a big white cloth?"
"Who knows, it feels similar to singing in an opera, but there are no singers in sight. There are not even people playing the erhu or playing gongs and drums."
"No, I came here just to watch the opera. If it wasn't for singing, I might as well go home and take a nap."
"Yes, the weather is quite cold now. When the cold wind blows, people shiver, but they even say that they can only play at night. Isn't it possible to perform during the day?"
"That's right. It's very mysterious. It's made of a big white cloth. It's similar to a shadow puppet show. This shadow puppet show can only be watched at night."
"The shadow puppet show is quite nice, but it also has a choir. No one plays the erhu or suona, so the shadow puppet show is not interesting."
"Just wait patiently. It won't officially start until seven o'clock. The newspaper said it will be shown for almost an hour."
"."
There were more and more melon-eating groups gathering in the square. Everyone was full of curiosity about the arrangement in front of them, and they kept discussing this novel thing.
Basically, people think that it is still the same as singing in big operas before, and you can tell it from the name.
At the Ming Dynasty Royal Stadium, the civil and military ministers in Beijing also arrived one after another with their homes. Women and children were grouped together. As for these ministers, they sat in the middle and core area, seated according to their rank.
.
"Mr. Li, this arrangement is very strange. I thought you were here to watch a big show, but this arrangement doesn't look like you are watching a big show."
"Yes, yes, there is only a big white cloth on the stage. Is this to make us feel lonely?"
"It's mysterious, I don't know what it is."
"I heard it's a new invention. It's a bit like shadow puppetry, but it's not a shadow puppetry."
"I've also heard that in the past six months, they have gone to many places for filming, and tens of thousands of soldiers have been dispatched here in Prairie Province to assist in filming."
"The one who knows the most clearly must be Liu Gong, Wang Gong and others. Why don't you go and ask."
"Forget it, forget it, we'll find out later. I'm just very curious about what this movie is about."
"Since it's called a movie, maybe it has something to do with electricity."
"Mostly it has something to do with electricity."
Many ministers were also talking and looking at the surrounding decoration curiously. The decoration was very simple, which made many ministers who came to watch the show very curious.
At half past six, Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao brought Queen Xia and a dozen of the main concubines to the Royal Stadium. At the same time, even the prince came to the scene with the prince concubine and several young princes.
"Haha, the layout is good, the layout is good!"
When Zhu Houzhao arrived at the scene, he couldn't sit still for a moment. He walked around, took a look, and took a look. He is now very much looking forward to the screening of the movie.
"This is so exciting!"
Zhu Houzhao looked at the people in the stadium, grinning and nodding with satisfaction.
Huo Qubing is the person he admires the most. In this movie, Huo Qubing was cast based on Zhu Houzhao's appearance. Zhu Houzhao was eager for the whole world to see him.
"Dang! Dang!"
As time goes by, the sky gradually becomes darker. Because it is the second half of the year, it has already become completely dark early.
Soon it was seven o'clock in the evening, and with the bell tower ringing seven bells, the movie officially started showing.
The lights in the stadium were turned off one after another. Everyone was slightly surprised at first, but soon, the projector started showing, the light shone on the curtain, and a countdown number appeared on it.
At the same time, the large speakers arranged around began to play a soul-stirring song.
This kind of speaker is also a new invention, based on the principle of the phonograph. It is currently widely used in public areas such as train stations, schools, bus stations, stadiums, theaters, racetracks, etc.
Wolf smoke rises across the mountains and rivers, looking north, dragons curl up, horses neigh, swords are like frost
My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River
Who can resist in twenty years?
Hateful and mad, the sword is directed towards
How many loyal brothers and sisters are buried in a foreign land?
Why would you die to serve your family and country?
With the vast song echoing in the stadium, this song that Liu Jin plagiarized from the later "Loyalty to the Country" is very majestic and very suitable for the scene, which is very suitable for this movie.
As soon as the song started to sound, the big curtain also started to play some of the content from the opening credits. The scenes of soldiers being dispatched on the battlefield, generals dying in hundreds of battles, and fighting and iron horses instantly attracted everyone's attention.
All of a sudden, everyone fell silent and looked at the curtain, watching the content played on it, and then listening to this soul-stirring song, as if they were suddenly transported back to the difficult years when they were invaded and bullied by foreigners.
Similar to the movies of later generations, pictures and text constantly appear on the screen, with information such as director, starring, screenwriter, lyrics, etc., telling everyone who filmed the movie. At the same time, there are also the logo of Daming Pictures and the logo at the beginning.
logo.
In every stadium in the capital, everyone became quiet as the movie played.
Similarly, Daming Square was originally very busy, and many people were waiting impatiently, and were already preparing to go home, when the songs and pictures of the movie appeared.
Immediately, the entire huge Daming Square fell silent. Everyone looked at the curtain, listening to the sad and exciting songs, and couldn't help but look forward to what was coming next.
When they saw the pictures played on the curtain, many people couldn't help but widen their eyes slightly. The characters and pictures on the curtain could actually move, and they were still so real, as if they were suddenly attracted by it.
Back to that era, back to the early Western Han Dynasty when people were bullied by the Huns.
After the opening song played, the screen began to play the scene of the early Western Han Dynasty, when the Han Dynasty was humiliated by the Xiongnu, and the narrator continued to read this period of history.
In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the Central Plains experienced a long period of war, and the people suffered. The Western Han Dynasty was weak in national power, and the siege of Baideng was even more humiliating to the Western Han Dynasty.
The Huns in the north were so ambitious that they frequently went south, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.
For the sake of the stability of the country, the Han Dynasty had to surrender to the Huns in the north, implement the policy of marriage, and marry the princess of the Han Dynasty to the Xiongnu Chanyu.
However, the peace policy of the Han Dynasty could not really solve the problem. The Xiongnu still went south every year. The people in the border areas of the Han Dynasty were in dire straits and suffered from bullying and war.
This situation lasted until the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was determined to launch a counterattack against the Xiongnu. He reused generals such as Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Li Guang to launch a counterattack war against the Xiongnu that lasted for decades.
With the narration, everyone immediately understood the history of the early Western Han Dynasty. It turned out that during the Western Han Dynasty, we Han people were constantly invaded, burned, killed, and looted by the Huns from the north, so that the people were in dire straits.
Some related scenes also appeared on the movie screen. The scene of the Huns burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of crimes in the Han Dynasty suddenly made all the people of the Ming Dynasty feel the same hatred for the enemy.
