At that time, watching movies was not like it is now.
Especially in the countryside, almost all are open-air cinemas.
A curtain is pulled up on the stage and the movie is shown in the open air.
Li Yi remembered that it was because he arrived late and the movie was over.
He just cried and made trouble and still wanted to watch.
So his grandfather, who loved him very much, went to find Liu Aiguo.
That is Grandpa Liu. Grandpa Liu played a movie alone for Li Yi, who was still a kid at the time.
The two got to know each other because of this.
Why did Grandpa Liu keep the antique movie projector to himself?
Li Yi knew that because at that time, Li Yi thought it would be cool to have a movie projector. He could just project whatever movie he wanted to watch.
Although at that time, Li Yi's family conditions were actually very good. He was usually on Hong Kong Island, so it was no problem to go to the cinema to watch movies.
But this was the first time for this kind of open-air screening, this kind of screening of a movie for him alone.
Later, whenever he had free time, Li Yi ran to Grandpa Liu and asked him to play a movie for him.
One old and one young, they became familiar with each other.
Li Yi has always been envious of having such a movie projector. Later, Grandpa Liu smiled and said that if he still wants it when he stops showing movies, he will give him the movie projector.
Li Yi was very excited at that time.
Later, when he left there and returned to Hong Kong Island, Li Yi couldn't help crying.
It's just that children have great forgetfulness. This matter was quickly forgotten by Li Yi after he left.
Later, his grandparents moved, and Li Yi never saw Grandpa Liu again.
But Li Yi didn't expect that Grandpa Liu would still remember it.
......
Mu Qing accompanied Li Yi when they revisited their old place. The two of them came together. The small village where my grandparents lived back then has changed a lot.
It is difficult for Li Yi to find too many things that overlap with his childhood memories.
However, the stage where movies were screened outdoors is still there, but it has been renovated and looks like a new one. It is no longer what it used to be. But come to think of it, there are very few open-air movie screenings, right?
Li Yi is actually very vague about Grandpa Liu, but he is still very sad when he thinks that Grandpa Liu is no longer here.
Even though Grandpa Liu and his son said that the old man was very peaceful when he went there, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
When he got the old movie projector he had longed for when he got it, and a box of movie films, Li Yi felt a little like a dream.
"When you were a child, did you ever see this kind of open-air movie?" Li Yi asked Mu Qing.
Mu Qing shook her head and said, "No! I heard my grandparents talk about it, but I just haven't experienced it myself."
"That night, shall I put on a show here?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
"Okay!" Mu Qing was a little excited.
Li Yi contacted the village, and naturally the village had no objections.
So Li Yi started to arrange it.
At night.
Here and there, some villagers brought chairs to watch a movie.
Li Yi smiled and said to Mu Qing: "When I came here when I was a child, there were many people here every time a movie was shown."
"And many children don't actually come to watch movies, because every time when a movie is shown, when there are more people, there will always be people coming here to set up stalls and sell some snacks."
"Moreover, every time a movie is shown, there are usually two movies in a row. At that time, because I came too late and the movies were all finished, I was very unhappy and cried and clamored to watch the movie. Later, my grandfather took me
Follow me to find Grandpa Liu..."
Li Yi was tinkering with the projector and adjusting the angle while talking to Mu Qing.
This movie projector is obviously well maintained by Grandpa Liu. Li Yi chose an early movie. Well, in fact, the film movies here are all relatively early. Gu Yong
In fact, the movie you watch is not the key, the key is the feeling.
When the picture appeared on the movie screen, Li Yi was stunned because the golden finger was triggered again.
This time the movie is about movies!
"Li Yi?" Mu Qing's voice came, interrupting Li Yi's "watching" of the movie.
"What are you thinking about?" Mu Qing asked.
"I'm thinking about my next movie. Suddenly I got some inspiration." Li Yi said with a smile.
"Oh? Is it related to it?" Mu Qing pointed to the old projector and asked.
"Yeah!" Li Yi nodded.
"About what?" Mu Qing asked curiously.
"The precious memories of childhood." Li Yi pondered for a moment and said.
"Stop talking about me, what about you? How is the filming of the movie going? Will coming with me delay the progress of your movie?" Li Yi asked.
Mu Qing shook her head and said, "No, the crew has temporarily stopped working."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Li Yi asked with concern.
He only knew that Mu Qing was filming a romance film that was more literary and artistic. Mu Qing didn't say what it was about, and he didn't ask much.
"No, I just have to shoot the rest in winter when it snows." Mu Qing said with a smile.
Li Yi nodded, each director has a different style.
Some directors can spend several months or even a year or two working on a scene.
Li Yi is not very particular about this aspect. For example, on a rainy day, some directors may deliberately wait until it actually rains before shooting, but some directors will just use a sprinkler truck.
For example, when it snows, Mu Qing wants to wait until it snows before filming, but when Li Yi previously filmed "The Story of Hachiko", he directly used a snow truck to make artificial snow.
"Do you need my help?" Li Yi asked.
Mu Qing shook her head and said: "It's not necessary for the moment. I will tell you when the need arises. Well, when the time comes, I will let you wave the flag and cheer for me. I won't be polite to you."
Suddenly, Li Yi felt his face wet and couldn't help but wipe it.
God is not good at it.
Seeing the villagers who came to cheer and leave with their chairs one by one, Li Yi could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
However, he has gained a lot tonight.
In fact, when the villagers came to watch a movie, they didn’t really watch a movie, they just came to join in the fun.
No one came to set up a stall to sell snacks, not even the children came.
Li Yi can only close the stall.
This can be regarded as the fulfillment of a small childhood dream.
At night, Li Yi and Mu Qing stayed at an uncle's house in the village.
Early the next morning, Li Yi and Mu Qing were woken up by a burst of noise.
When the two of them came out to take a look, they couldn't laugh or cry.
It turned out to be a rabbit raised by my great-uncle, and a naughty child let it out to play. As a result, the rabbit ran away. The naughty child became anxious and chased the rabbit with a stick.
I didn't catch the rabbit, but it was all over the place.
In the end, the adults caught the rabbit.
Naturally, the naughty kid needs a good beating, but what makes Li Yi and Mu Qing dumbfounded is that the naughty kid cries not because of the beating.
It's because his mother said she was going to stew the rabbit, and then the naughty child burst into tears.
However, it is obvious that the uncle and the naughty mother still love the naughty child very much. Li Yi and the others still did not eat rabbit at noon.
"Really, rabbits are so cute, why don't you eat rabbits? They are really naughty children!" Li Yi complained in a wicked way.
However, I didn’t expect that this complaint would bring up another memory.
