Chapter 177 A beautiful woman who combines romance with beauty
Only then did Yu Minhong start to look at the big screen in front of the cinema.
La la la la la...
With a bunch of la la la songs.
Alain Delon, riding a white horse and carrying a cowboy hat, galloped in a gray desert from far to near...
Soon, as the plot unfolded, the movie "Zorro" co-produced by Italy and France suddenly aroused the dream of a Western hero in the audience.
For a moment, Jiang Shan stared hard at the scene on the big screen.
Whenever he recognized the familiar dubbing sounds from the dubbing studio in the movie, he couldn't help but smile.
Compared with this special attraction of Jiangshan, the audience in the cinema cared more about the scene when Zorro, dressed in black and on a black horse, appeared waving a whip.
Especially when the letter "Z" appeared under Zorro's sword with a few strokes, everyone felt the joy of being a masked hero.
"Ruhua, this man is so handsome." Jiang Chuan beside him was completely obsessed with Zorro on the screen.
"Yeah," Ruhuate nodded seriously: "Especially when riding a horse."
"Do you know how old he is?" Jiang Shan turned his head and joined the girls' conversation.
"How big?"
"40."
"ah."
"real or fake?"
"Take a closer look at his face," Jiang Shan whispered, "The folds on his face are not obvious yet?"
"It's true what you said," Ying Ruhua said in the darkness, her big eyes wide open.
"You're already 40 and still so handsome," Jiang Chuan also lowered his voice: "I was definitely more handsome when I was younger."
Jiang Shan said nothing more.
It is undeniable that Alain Delon is indeed a once-in-a-century handsome guy.
Especially the movie "Zorro" makes his image even more magical.
When the nearly two-hour video ended, several people, including Jiang Shan, were still not satisfied.
"Everyone take a rest first,"
At this moment, Jiang He took the initiative and said: "Come back in 20 minutes."
"Brother," Jiang Shan stretched and walked out: "I should say, let's move around for a while and then sit down again."
"Ha, little brother is right,"
Jiangchuan pushed Wuhua's shoulders and walked out: "We have been sitting here for more than two hours."
A flood of people poured out of the cinema.
The crowd waiting outside the venue looked eagerly at their still excited expressions.
"From now on, we will not beat innocent people."
"Show you a just verdict."
"..."
Among the people walking and chatting, from time to time someone would reach out to fencing in the air.
At this moment, a group of people from the Jiang family were gathered around a popsicle stand in the cinema square.
A powerful aunt carried a large wooden box on a 28-inch cart.
In the summer, there are at least three or four mobile stalls like this.
After seeing the customers come to the door, the aunt lifted up the small wooden board and opened the quilt in the wooden box. Immediately, a burst of cold air hit her face.
Looking at the neatly stacked popsicles in the wooden box.
Jiang Chuan took the lead in choosing one with red bean flavor, and the others who followed also happily extended their hands.
According to the old habit, no one competed with the second brother to pay.
Looking at the crescent moon hanging above my head, even Jiang Shan felt that there is no more beautiful midsummer night than watching a movie.
A group of people were eating popsicles while watching the bustling flow of people.
"Look," Jiang Shan had a premonition: "It is estimated that in a few days, the people will start playing with swords."
Jiang Chuan on the side sipped the popsicle in his hand: "Where can I find a sword? It's not messy enough."
"Tsk, what kind of branches or sticks..." Jiang Shan seemed to have seen it: "Anyway, just wait and see."
Soon, it only took two popsicles.
Yu Minhong, who remained silent, followed Jiang Shan's family into the cinema.
This time, his steps were obviously much calmer than the first time.
"Brother Jiang, is this next movie the ghost movie you mentioned before?"
"Well," Jiang Shan nodded: "Actually, it's nothing. You'll know after you take a look."
Like "The Ring", the next film is "Painted Skin", one of the few Hong Kong films that scared the audience to death.
If we talk about the number one IP in the Chinese ghost film industry, it is definitely "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
The ghosts, foxes, monsters and scholars in Pu Songling's works have provided endless creative inspiration for future film and television creators.
There are countless cases of classic stories in "Liao Zhai" being adapted into film and television dramas.
Among them, movies like "A Chinese Ghost Story" have been remade many times.
Among "Liao Zhai", the one that is as famous as "A Chinese Ghost Story" in terms of influence is "Painted Skin", Chapter 40 of the first volume.
No matter which life he was in, Jiang Shan had never seen this version of "Painted Skin".
However, I have already heard about the power of this film.
It is said that when it was played at the Yanjing Workers' Cultural Palace, an old lady was frightened to death on the spot.
After that, it was "shelved" and hidden in the National Film Archive.
It was not until later that CCTV cut the 96-minute film to 74 minutes that it was allowed to be broadcast on "Six Princesses".
At that time, the China Film Bureau still complained that he was wronged. After all, no one could predict heart disease in advance.
But when it comes to being awesome, there is something even more incredible than this.
In 1961, the 26th World Table Tennis Championships was held for the first time in China.
When the championship battle between China and Japan was underway, it was said that five listeners in Yanjing alone died of heart attacks in front of the radio.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shan couldn't help but remind his little sister: "If you are too scared later, just tell me and I will take you home."
"It's okay, little brother, I..."
Suddenly, the theater lights dimmed.
Jiang Chuan was obviously nervous for a moment, and then became excited.
The two hands on the left and right were holding Jiangshan and Ruhua respectively: "It's started, it's started."
The audience who came to see this movie were either curious about Xiangjiang movies, or they were just looking for excitement.
The reason is very simple. People at this time have not seen real ghost movies.
You know, twenty years ago, even animated films such as "Nine-Colored Deer" and "Xun Xian Ji" were delisted.
Not to mention any live-action movies about dancing gods and ghosts.
This movie, shot in 1966, not only has rough picture quality and rich grain, but even the soundtrack is not remarkable.
In Jiang Shan's eyes, he really didn't see any flavor of Xiangjiang.
It wasn't until the glamorous female ghost, the heroine Zhu Hong, appeared that she saw some iconic Hong Kong-style makeup.
The plot of "Painted Skin" is very Pu Songling's.
It is an ideological education film about a handsome scholar who meets a beautiful female ghost, and then cheats on his wife and then the female ghost takes out his heart.
It can’t compare to the twists and turns of love triangles produced by Chen Kun and Zhou Xun in later generations.
However, the beauty of the heroine Zhu Hong is definitely not comparable to Mr. Zhou and Xiao Yanzi.
When Zhu Hong's close-up shot appeared on the big screen, a shuddering sound immediately erupted in the theater.
There are both men and women.
Even the country that has seen countless beauties in later generations is now fixed on the seat by the constantly flowing smoke waves of the beauties on the screen.
At this moment, the plot is at the stage where the pretty wild ghost hooks up with the handsome scholar.
Zhu Hong, with her charming eyes and smile, is no longer just touching the scholar's heartstrings.
The simple people had never seen this battle before, and for a moment they almost forgot that they were watching a ghost movie.
Until the girl who was painting skin suddenly turned her head.
"Ah~"
"Oh my God!"
"Amitabha……"
The whole place immediately burst into laughter.
"Has the ghost left, Ruhua?"
"I don't know either!"
Jiang Shan, who was startled a second ago, could not help laughing now.
He looked sideways at the two little girls sitting next to him. Fortunately, they were smart.
The ghostly music played on the big screen, and at the same time as the gloomy picture, I had already covered my eyes.
Gradually, follow the plot analysis of the dialogue between the characters in the film.
The two little girls tried to separate their closed fingers and bravely continued to watch the movie through the gaps between their fingers.
Whenever something feels wrong, I quickly close my fingers again.
"Yes," Jiang Shan said with a smile from the side:
"How dare you two watch a ghost movie? You two have perfectly avoided every highlight."
"Brother, please continue talking." Jiang Chuan didn't mind the other person's verbosity at all: "Every time you talk, I seem to be less afraid."
"Tsk, tsk, there's nothing to be afraid of, it's all fake."
As soon as Jiang Shan finished speaking, the whole place rang again.
On the big screen, a bloody heart was being ripped out of the chest.
No misaligned lenses, no mosaic.
"Hiss," even Jiangshan took a breath of air.
"What then,"
Yu Minhong, who was sitting on the right side of Jiang Shan, suddenly stammered and pointed to the side beside him and said:
"Just now your second sister-in-law said that the director of this movie specially found a corpse to dig out the heart for this scene..."
The voice became quieter and quieter after that, because the audience in the front row turned their heads several times in surprise.
Jiang Shan looked past Yu Minhong at his second brother and second sister-in-law next door.
I found the two of them with calm faces, looking at the big screen expressionlessly.
From time to time, the two of them would get close and chat for a few words.
However, there was no sense of a young couple at all, just like two judges reviewing a film.
Just like that, when Zhu Hong on the big screen turned into a piece of human skin and slid to the ground.
With the last "ah" exclamation, tonight's Jiang family's film team-building activity finally came to a successful conclusion.
"Oh my God,"
When he walked down the steps of the cinema, Jiang Chuan's legs were still a little weak: "I was scared to death."
"Me too," Ying Ruhua's face regained some color at this moment: "I haven't called mom in many years, and I really shouted enough tonight."
Several people traveling with her couldn't help but look at the little girl.
I found that the picturesque expression was as usual, without any trace of sadness.
Jiang Shan had long discovered that this girl never shied away from mentioning her deceased parents, and every time she mentioned them, she always brought up happy past events.
It can also make getting along with friends around you easier.
"What are you two so afraid of?" Jiang Shan was surprised: "How can you be scared if you keep covering your eyes?"
"I'm just so scared." The two little girls made faces at each other: "But that female ghost is so beautiful."
"Yes, I think she is much prettier than Liu Xiaoqing."
"Pan Hong can't compare, little brother, what do you think?"
"Ask your second brother. I will send Student Yu to report to the club first."
After saying these words, Jiang Shan finally saw his bicycle in the vast sea of cars.
At this moment, the second child's steps obviously stopped.
"Isn't the female ghost pretty?" Lu Xiao's voice seemed to come from the depths of the ethereal world.
"What's beautiful? She looks like a ghost."
After Jiang He finished speaking, he glanced at the back of the third child.
Jiang Shan suddenly felt a chill on his neck and refused to even look back.
Of course the female ghost in the movie is beautiful, no matter who plays the role.
Zhu Hong, a great beauty who is known as a woman who is both romantic and romantic, can be said to be a rich and noble girl who grew up with a super golden spoon in her mouth.
In Kunming, my family not only owns a gold shop and a bank, but also rents out shops on more than a dozen streets.
His father was a confidant of the famous "King of Yunnan" Long Yun.
When Long Yun was under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek, his father and Chen Nade took the risk to rescue him.
Ten years later, this incident was made into a feature film "Long Yun and Jiang Jieshi" by Bayi Film Studio.
Even such a noble lady with a distinguished family background can actually portray a female ghost vividly.
He is really made to be an actor.
Unexpectedly, the first Hong Kong movie that attracted people's attention would let everyone appreciate the amazing beauty of Hong Kong film actresses.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shan, who was riding a bicycle, couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Jiang, why are you laughing?"
Yu Minhong, who was sitting behind the car, asked quickly. He had been in trouble since the afternoon and felt embarrassed for a long time.
"It's nothing, I suddenly remembered how everyone in the movie theater screamed together."
"I was shocked at that time," said 17-year-old classmate Yu, who had never seen such a movie before: "When I go back, I have to tell my mother about this."
"I guess your movie will be released soon."
"How can she be willing to go to the cinema to watch a movie?"
"Do you know the way to the station?" Jiang Shan asked with concern: "Do you need me to give you a ride tomorrow?"
"No need to bother, Brother Jiang," Yu Minhong said quickly: "I can find it myself."
"OK,"
While we were talking, Oriental Metropolis Daily had arrived.
Jiang Shan pointed to the lighted room on the third floor: "You see that room? It's the night desk room of the newspaper office. I've already said hello, you can just go up."
"Hey, okay,"
Yu Minhong touched the liberation bag on his back and looked at Jiangshan with gratitude: "Brother Jiang...I will memorize all these questions after I go back. Next year, I will definitely be admitted to college."
Then there's no need to ask, it would be weird if you don't pass the exam.
"Okay, then I wish all your wishes and mine will come true." Jiang Shan waved his hand: "Hurry in, we have to get up early tomorrow!"
Sure enough, when Comrade Jiang Shan walked into the newspaper office again the next day, he could no longer see classmate Yu Minhong.
When passing several empty classrooms on the third floor, Jiang Shan couldn't help but stop and look at them for a long time.
"Foreign-funded enterprises open foreign language tutoring classes..."
While he was mumbling to himself, he suddenly heard someone calling his name downstairs:
"Chief Jiang, where is Section Chief Jiang, Jiangshan!"
When he heard the voice of editor-in-chief Jiang Hai, Jiang Shan quickly responded upstairs.
He didn't know it yet, but at this time, the entire Pujiang City news unit was in chaos.
