As soon as Jiang Yang and Li Qingning left the room where the movie was being played, they saw a man rushing towards them carrying an ancient artifact - a broomstick.
Jiang Yang held Li Qingning in his arms and stepped aside.
That person is the taxi driver just now.
He went directly into the room where the movie was playing, and then roars came from the room.
"How dare you come out to play!"
The taxi driver roared angrily, "I asked you not to do your homework, I asked you to skip class!"
Then there was the cry of the little boy who was changing movies.
Li Qingning leaned in Jiang Yang's arms and asked him, "You won't get into trouble, right?"
It sounds quite loud.
Jiang Yang thought it should be okay. This kind of magical weapon had moderate hardness and softness, moderate size, and it was easy to control the intensity. Once used, it usually spanked the buttocks. As long as you didn't hit the head, nothing would happen.
Li Qingning: "It's time to return the favor."
"That is."
Jiang Yang gloated over the misfortune, he also suffered it when he was a child.
Li Qingning poked his chest wordlessly, not knowing what to be proud of.
They went down the steps.
The taxi driver quickly took the little boy out, and Uncle Li came over to persuade him to discipline the child well and not beat or scold him. After the driver left, Uncle Li came back and said, "His father paid for him to attend a cram school, but he skipped class to watch.
It’s a movie.”
The uncle looked at them: "Are you leaving?"
"Um."
Jiang Yang said he would come over and take a look. He was actually more interested in Uncle Li's films.
He asked, "I heard that film is flammable?"
This is a clip from "Cinema Paradiso" that Jiang Yang remembers. In the movie, Duoduo often stole cut films and went home, so much so that his house was burned down. Later, the projectionist became blind because the film caught fire during playback.
"Huh?"
Jiang Yang didn't expect that he could remember so much, maybe because this is a cinema for the blind.
Speaking of which, it seems quite related.
"You know quite a lot!"
Uncle Li was surprised.
The uncle said that it was a film from a long time ago. This film is made of nitrocellulose, which is similar to gunpowder cotton. During the screening process, it is easy to catch fire due to friction and heat. When he first started working, he encountered
It happened once. Fortunately, it was played in the open air and there was no fire. However, this kind of film has long been replaced by safety film.
Jiang Yang asked: "Then how come when the movie is being played, it is reflected on the other wall without affecting the movie?"
Uncle Li found Jiang Yang more and more interesting.
It seems that this kid really likes old movies, no wonder he loves kissing so much.
Uncle Li is also a movie lover, and he also likes old film movies.
After all, he was playing with this when he was young, so Uncle Li felt like he had met a close friend.
He invited Jiang Yang to go to his studio and have a look. There was a machine in his studio.
Jiang Yang was a little moved.
Li Qingning let him go.
She found a chair usually used for waiting blind people to sit down, put on headphones and listened to music.
Jiang Yang entered the uncle's studio.
This room is more like a place where Uncle Li lives than a studio. The bed, sofa, etc. are all neatly arranged. Then there is a table in the center of the room with film boxes on it, some tools scattered around, and a film projector.
Uncle Li turned on the power.
He said that when he first started working, many villages did not have electricity. When he went to the village to show a movie, he had to prepare two mules, one for generator and movie machine, and one for oil and film. Then the village head was in charge of food.
The village lasted for nearly a month.
"I really lived with movies at that time." Uncle Li said that sometimes he would go to a remote mountain village to play movies. He would walk alone when it got dark and had no place to stay, so he would sleep under a walnut tree with the movie playing next to him.
Machine and film.
Jiang Yang said: "My dad said that when they were young, their favorite was watching movies in the threshing floor."
Both dads have said this.
He also said that they used to show movies at night after someone died.
"yes."
Uncle Li said that he was very popular at that time. Many children were playing at the entrance of the village. They were very happy to see him. Some people went to inform the village adults, some helped him lead the mule, and some ran back to bring him water. Not to mention how grand it was.
.
Of course, his favorite thing is when a movie is shown in the threshing floor. Many people sit there, waiting for you to start the show, just like, "It's like a big star holding a concert, waiting for you to open your voice."
Uncle Li was very excited when he talked about these.
They talked for a while, and then Uncle Li operated the equipment and answered the technical questions that Jiang Yang wanted to know one by one. He also showed Jiang Yang how to cut the film, etc., "In the past, people watched movies just like celebrating the New Year, but not now.
Okay."
Nowadays, with television and the Internet, there are more entertainment options. It is no longer an era when there is only entertainment in the evening.
Jiang Yang turned his head and glanced at the room, and asked smoothly: "Where is aunt?"
Uncle Li pointed to the wall: "There it is."
Jiang Yang saw the photo of the aunt and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know."
"It's okay."
The uncle said that people always die, and he was lucky that she left before him, otherwise she would not be able to see her eyes, and who would take care of her.
Jiang Yang said, "I don't have a son——"
He stopped talking.
The uncle thought it was okay, they both liked watching movies.
When he was a projectionist, he showed a movie in their village, and then he saw her in four or five villages in a row. The uncle remembered clearly that the movie shown at that time was "Azalea", and the ones that bloomed all over the mountains were also "Azalea". He
At that time, I thought, this girl really likes watching movies. Slowly, they got to know each other, and she even started watching movies.
"When I was picking up movie reels at the station, I tried my best to choose movies that she would like."
The uncle said he was quite happy.
As for what happened next.
They got married.
"azalea?"
This is a movie that only exists in this world.
Uncle Li operated the instrument and placed notes to determine the cropped image. These were all made for Jiang Yang to see. "At that time, we were just as tired as you and your wife."
Jiang Yang: "Where are we so tired?"
"From the time we came in until now, except when you were helping me move my things, you two have been holding hands."
"Yeah?"
Jiang Yang didn't pay attention.
Uncle Li and his wife have no children, but because they like movies, they watch movies when other people are having fun. "Life is much harder than movies, so after watching a movie, all worries disappear."
Jiang Yang heard this sound familiar.
As the uncle spoke, he really reflected the image of the movie projected forward onto the wall next to him.
The two of them laughed together.
Together they watched the image projected onto the wall.
Uncle Li asked Jiang Yang what the use was of studying this.
"I'm writing a script and I need to figure this out." Jiang Yang said that he wrote an advertisement some time ago, and the plot in it was borrowed from it, so he wanted to write the whole movie.
He asked Uncle Li, if a group of people waited in the cinema for more than three hours, but did not watch the movie in the end, what if the projectionist used this method to project the movie on the wall of the square outside the cinema?
"That must be really cool."
Uncle Li blurted out that it was the highlight moment of the projectionist, "When I was a projectionist, the happiest moment was the moment of the screening. Those villagers surrounded you and entertained you with delicious food and drinks, just for that moment.
And at that moment, you satisfy them, and when you hear the sounds of people talking, laughing and having fun in Manguchang, you will be happy together. It’s like——"
He thought about it and said, "It seems that I have created happiness and made them forget their worries. I like this feeling very much."
