The road is not the bluestone slabs commonly found in ancient towns, but very similar to the countryside, the kind of mud mixed with stone roads, very solid, mud and stones are tightly connected together, showing a dark black.

One can imagine how many years this road has existed and how many generations of pedestrians have trampled it.

Some houses still use doors that are dozens or even hundreds of years old, while others have been renovated and reinforced, replacing the façade on the first floor with a roller shutter.

There are tailors who cut customers' clothes with sewing machines, a teahouse with a TV in the back, and many sets of wooden chairs.

Some old men are playing long cards in it, and this kind of card leaves can't be read at the beginning.

I don't know how long I walked, Ye Kai heard a movie playing in a house in front of him, and he heard a line that he was very familiar with: "Big brother and sister-in-law have a good New Year......

"And a movie theater here?"

Ye Kai can also guess the name of this movie with his eyes closed, and this line is too famous.

Ye Kai followed the sound and walked towards the 'cinema', a familiar tone kept coming from the stereo, Ma Dasan said with a smile: "Why don't you have good words about this boast?"

A curtain blocked the view of the crowd outside the lobby.

The teenager in the school uniform was sitting outside yawning and playing mobile games, and when he saw Ye Kai wanting to go in, he stopped Ye Kai and said, "Five yuan." ”

Ye Kai asked, "Is it okay to scan WeChat?"

The young man was much more enthusiastic about Ye Kai, clicked on it with his mobile phone to collect the money, and said with a smile: "I want it." ”

After sweeping five yuan into the house, the layout here is similar to the teahouse I just saw, of course, there is a large white screen at the front, and at the end of the lobby is a projector.

Someone sat next to the projector, watching the movie intently.

In front of him, there are several rows of 'audience seats', wooden chairs that can sit four people, a total of three columns, seven or eight rows, and a dozen or so people sit sparsely.

Mostly elderly people with teacups.

Not most, it should be said that all the people here are as described by Ye Kai, holding teacups of different shapes, with cigarettes or paper cigarettes in their mouths, or cigarette sticks.

The whole screening room was filled with the choking smell of leaf smoke.

Ye Kai avoided them and found a place to sit in the back seat, and also watched this movie with them.

Ye Kai had only seen this kind of movie when he was in elementary school, and he didn't know if the current primary school would hold such a movie-watching event.

What impressed him the most about that movie was not the plot of the movie, but the joy of the snacks he shared with the children in the audience.

The projectionist sat next to Ye Kai, looked at Ye Kai, and asked, "I haven't seen a young man here for a long time, you should be the first in the past two years, how old are you?"

Ye Kai looked back at his appearance.

Forty or fifty years old, relatively thin, wearing a blue T-shirt and light-colored jeans, his skin is a little dark, and he can't tell what his main job is.

"You're 24 years old, are you a projectionist?"

"yes. ”

"Is it still profitable to show such a movie now?" Ye Kai asked a question he wanted to know the most.

Showing movies with this kind of ancient machine will definitely not be the latest films, most of them are old movies like this one, ten or even twenty years ago.

But such a movie, either I've seen it, or I don't want to watch it.

Before coming in, Ye Kai didn't expect that there would be so many people here...... Yes, there are already a lot of more than a dozen people, and before coming in, Ye Kai didn't expect that there would be so many people watching a movie that cost five yuan to watch.

"Make money?" he looked at Ye Kai suspiciously, and then suddenly realized, "Did that kid take you money? I don't charge money for movies here, and I will give you back how much money you paid." ”

"No, no, no, not much ......"

Ye Kai shook his head and said, It's just a few yuan, now there is no place to watch a movie for a few dollars, and the cheapest movie costs twenty yuan.

If he doesn't charge money for showing movies, then the venue fee and equipment maintenance fee are not a small amount.

"No, if you don't take money, I won't take your money. ”

It didn't make the uncle give up this idea, Ye Kai could only take the five yuan that the uncle gave him and put it in his wallet. Seeing the angry appearance of this uncle, it is estimated that the child will be scolded when he goes home at night.

This move made Ye Kai feel that this uncle was a very simple person.

The matter of a few dollars and Ye Kai have been here for so long a day, which made the old grandfathers in front of them feel that the story behind this is more exciting than the one on the screen, and they all looked back at the two.

After collecting the money, Ye Kai said: "If you don't charge tickets, aren't you doing this for free." It's a remote place, but it still costs a lot of money, right?"

"This house is our family, so I don't have to spend money to rent it, and playing old movies is my personal hobby, just like young people like to play games nowadays, which is my personal hobby. ”

Hobby...... Sort it off.

Movie projectionist, this profession has been brilliant for a while, and it is a profession that has gradually declined with the development of technology.

There is a very popular movie called Paradise Cinema, and near the end of this movie, there is a plot about editing.

Society at the time didn't allow too intimate scenes in movies, so the old projectionist cut them all out, and the result was a sweet compilation that would sour a single dog.

Seeing this picture, many of the children of that generation wanted to grow up to be a movie projectionist.

Looking at the age of this uncle, it is very likely that he is also a group of people who were affected by this movie.

Watching a movie in a movie theater, even in such a shabby, even well-lit environment, will be more comfortable than watching it at home on a computer.

Ye Kai sat a little in front of the projector.

On his head is the light that carries the dreams of a generation and is still changing, reflecting the dust in the air and hitting the picture on the curtain.

The picture works very well.

If you've seen this movie, you'll know that this movie doesn't really need to be of great picture quality, the important thing is to highlight and create an atmosphere.

Such a movie is perfect for watching quietly on the big screen.

Ye Kai has watched it a few times before, with mobile phones and computers, but I can like this movie so deeply is still here, in a movie theater that is free to watch.

Ye Kai didn't know the name of this uncle yet.

After so many years of movies, he has probably watched this movie countless times, but now he still watches it very seriously, and he will silently recite the lines when he encounters a plot he likes.

When he walked out of the door of this movie theater, Ye Kai opened the curtain set up to block the light.

The light shines, and the scene of the street bustling returns in an instant.

Of course, a layer of cloth curtain can't stop the noise in the street, but when you watch a movie inside, you don't feel how noisy it is outside, which may be related to being too immersive.

The boy in the school uniform didn't know where he had gone.

The uncle closed the door and walked away without saying a word, his expression was as vivid as a parent who went to an Internet café to arrest people, which was extremely terrifying.

PS: The recent decline in grades, coupled with some turmoil, coupled with the fact that the full attendance is no longer there, has led to some self-indulgence and self-abandonment, I review.
