Chapter 188: The Premiere (Part II)

The screen shifts from the porthole to the center of the bridge, the Milky Way hologram is slowly rotating, and in the middle of the first axis arm, an area of about 500 light-years is marked in red, an area where hundreds of millions of stars will be destroyed.

As the camera zooms in, the hologram zooms in rapidly, and in the red area, stars pass by one star after another.

Soon, a galaxy marked with eight planets appeared on the screen.

With the addition of 3D glasses, the cosmic vision looks particularly stunning.

Whispers rang out at the scene, and everyone knew that this was the solar system.

The camera begins to skim over the Oort Cloud, the Kuiper Belt, the Hades, Ceres, passing by Neptune, passing Uranus, passing Saturn, passing by the divine rings, passing Jupiter, passing over the asteroid belt, passing over Mars, passing over the Moon, Zuihou The camera points to Earth, a mountainous area in the central province of China on the Asian continent, in a low bungalow, children gather around the stove, watching the vegetable paste tumbling in the big iron pot, the red fire of the orange pole in the stove reflects on their faces, and Teacher Li cooks while telling them the content of the day's lessons.

After a majestic interstellar war, the pace of the film gradually eases down, and the hard life of a rural teacher in China's impoverished mountainous areas begins to unfold in front of the audience's eyes bit by bit.

Soon, it became clear that the life of a village teacher was not as simple as they thought.

Villages shrouded in ignorance and superstition complicate many simple things.

In order to prevent the children from dropping out of school, Ms. Li went door-to-door to pull other children's children to school. He also went to the county to bring the children who followed his father back to class, patting his chest and promising them to pay the tuition in advance.

But this did not win the gratitude of the local villagers.

The ignorance and insensitivity of the local villagers are in stark contrast to the teacher's pursuit of popularizing science and culture to change the status quo, and everything seems so incompatible.

Contradictions and conflicts also follow.

For example, before Mr. Li was found to be ill, he went to the county to ask for a sum of money from the Education Bureau for the maintenance of the school, but part of it was intercepted by the village, and he was going to invite a troupe to sing for two days during the festival.

For this reason, Mr. Li had a quarrel with the village, and later pulled a deputy county magistrate from the county to stir up the matter.

Later, the school was repaired, but it swept away the prosperity of the whole village. Later, Mr. Li's life in the village became even more difficult.

The worst conflict broke out six months ago. Due to the perennial drought, the village decided to rebuild the Laojun Temple to pray for rain, so they went to the school to prepare for the rafters of the school building.

Teacher Li asked where the children lived without the school building, and the villagers said that the students living in the school were all children from other villages. I can't think of them.

Teacher Li naturally refused to agree. Zuihou and the villagers made a move. Two ribs were broken.

It was precisely because of this injury that Mr. Li was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in the hospital, and the doctor congratulated Mr. Li on his blessing in disguise. Because esophageal cancer is still in its early stages, surgery is all it takes to cure it.

But Mr. Li couldn't take out the 20,000 yuan at all, and all the wages paid by the state over the years were used by him to pay for the children's tuition and buy books.

……

Compared with the previous majestic interstellar war scenes, this plot is much more bland, but no one finds it boring. Mr. Li's perseverance and persistence, the difficulties of the surrounding villagers, and the resistance of the general environment, everyone sweated for this respectable and amazing village teacher

As the days passed, as his condition worsened, Mr. Li's situation became more and more difficult.

He began to have hemoptysis, abdominal pain, and often squatted down in class and sweated profusely.

Later, Mr. Li couldn't even get out of bed.

So during the lesson, the children put the blackboard on the quilt, and Teacher Li held the chalk and endured the pain and insisted on teaching the children.

Children also strive to take care of their teachers in the cold faces of those around them.

The two are interdependent and dependent on each other.

But everyone knows that time is running out.

Hardship and perseverance, and the persistence supported by life, make the whole film unique.

………………

The movie continues, and one night in Zuihou, the whole class of children gathers around the teacher's hospital bed.

The teacher fumbled under the pillow with one hand and found some painkillers, the most common ones packaged in long plastic strips. For the severe pain of advanced cancer, this medicine has no effect, probably due to mental suggestion, he always feels better after taking it.

He took the two pills from the plastic strip as usual, but after thinking about it, he peeled off all the remaining 12 pills and swallowed them in one handful, he had a hunch that after tonight, he might never need it again.

He struggled again to write on the blackboard, but his head suddenly tilted to one side, and a child quickly brought the basin to his mouth, and he spat out a mouthful of black and red blood, and then leaned weakly on the pillow and gasped.

There was a sound of sobbing in the theater, and many women couldn't help crying, even Wang Xiaoyue, who had seen it several times, also had red eyes, and the low sobs of the children in the movie.

Teacher Li stopped writing on the blackboard and waved his hand weakly to let one of the children take the blackboard away. He began to speak, his voice like a gossamer.

"Today's class is the same as the previous two days, it is also a junior high school class. This is not required by the syllabus, but I think that most of you will never hear a junior high school class in your life, so I will talk about it and let you know what it is like to have a little deeper knowledge. Yesterday I talked about Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman", you must not understand it very well, whether you understand it or not, you have to read it several times, it is best to memorize it, and when you grow up, you will always understand. Lu Xun is a very great person, his books should be read by every Chinese, and you will definitely find them to read in the future. ”

He used all his strength and continued.

"Today we are going to talk about junior high school physics. You may not have heard of physics before, but it talks about the truth of matter, and it is a very deep and profound science. This lesson is about Newton's Three Laws. Newton was a great British scientist in the past. He said three sentences, these three sentences are very godly, it includes the laws of all things in the world and heaven, up to the sun and moon, down to the flowing water and wind, and it is impossible to run out of the circle delineated by these three sentences. With these three sentences, we can calculate when the solar eclipse will be, that is, the old people in the village say that the tengu eats the sun, and it is not bad for a minute or a second; This is Newton's Three Laws. Let's talk about the first law: when an object is not subjected to an external force, it will remain at rest or in a uniform linear motion. ”

The children watched him silently in the candlelight, unresponsive.

……

No one expected that at this time. A starship from the Carbon-Based Alliance. appeared in the outer reaches of the solar system.

The Carbon-Based Federation's trial for the solar system is about to begin.

"Life detection on the innermost planet 1 begins. …… 1 random point detection, white result, No. 2 random point detection, white result...... 10. Machine point detection. White results. There is no life on the planet. ”

……

"Planet 3 life detection begins, beams are launched. The planet has a moderately dense atmosphere, with most of the surface covered by oceans...... No. 1 random point detection, the result is ...... Green Results, Green Results! Target Number: 500921473, Life Discovers on Planet 3!"

……

Wang Xiaoyue held Chen Xin's hand tightly, and the atmosphere in the theater became tense as the plot progressed.

"Let's talk about Newton's second law......

The teacher was anxious and tried to tell the children more in the limited time.

"Newton's second law, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force it is subjected to, and inversely proportional to its mass. First, acceleration, which is the rate of change of velocity over time......"

The teacher gushed endlessly, his thinking was clearer than ever, and in the zuihou moments of his life, he taught everything he had learned to the students present without reservation.

"Do you understand?"

The teacher asked anxiously, his eyes no longer visible to the children around him, but he could still hear their voices.

The children said, "We get it, teacher, let's rest!"

"I know you don't understand, but if you memorize it, you'll understand it later. The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force it exerts and inversely proportional to its mass. ”

The children were silent.

The teacher shouted with all his strength, "Back!"

The children sobbed and recited: "The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force it exerts and inversely proportional to its mass. The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force to which it is subjected and inversely proportional to its mass......"

In the sound of these brilliant minds, which had been reduced to dust in Europe hundreds of years ago, reverberated in the most remote mountain villages of twentieth-century China in the thick children's voice of the central dialect.

The children cried around the teacher's lifeless body.

The theater fell into a sad atmosphere, at this time, whether it was those star directors, company CEOs or media reporters, they were all deeply taken into the movie, many people's eyes were red, and low sobs could be heard.

From this time on, the whole film enters the climax.

……

A slender four-dimensional beam was launched from the Blue 84210, a moon-sized starship anchored beyond Jupiter's orbit, temporarily adding a planet to the solar system. The four-dimensional beam reached Earth at near-infinite speed in three-dimensional space, passed through the roof of the country school building, and scanned the eighteen children with the precision of elementary particles. The torrent of data travels back into space at a rate unimaginable to humans, and soon, in the larger memory of the Blue 84210's main computer, digital replicas of the children are formed.

"Let's start the 3C civilization test, 3C civilization test question No. 1: Please describe the basic principles of biological evolution on your planet, is it a natural elimination type or a genetic mutation type?"

The child was blankly silent.

"3C Civilization Test Question No. 2: Please briefly explain the source of the star's energy. ”

The child was blankly silent.

……

"3C Civilization Test Question No. 10: Please explain the molecular composition of the liquid that makes up the oceans on your planet. ”

The child remained blankly silent.

Singularity bomb launched.

Thirty seconds after the singularity bomb reached the sun, the children were lucky enough to have three more opportunities to ask questions.

"3C Civilization Test Question No. 11: A Right Triangle on a Three-Dimensional Plane. What is the relationship between its three sides?"

Silent.

"3C Civilization Test Question No. 12: Your planet is the first planet in your planetary system?"

Silent.

"3C Civilization Test Question No. 13: When an object is not subjected to external forces, how does it operate?"

In the vast blue space of the digital universe, the children's crisp voices suddenly sounded: "When an object is not subjected to an external force, it will remain stationary or move in a straight line at a uniform speed." ”

The singularity bomb turned.

……

When the carbon-based federation was surprised to find that the individuals of this obscurantist planet civilization did not have the function of memory and genetics, and only transmitted knowledge between two generations of life through the group of teachers, so as to develop into a 5B civilization, everyone was stunned.

They designated the earth as a no-navigation zone within 100 light years so that the earth's civilization could continue to develop without interference.

……

By the time the children had built the new grave, the east had already been lit up.

The teacher was buried on a door panel that had been removed from the classroom, accompanied by two boxes of chalk and a set of torn primary school textbooks. The babies erected a stone slab on the little grave. It is written in chalk "Tomb of Teacher Li".

The sun peeks out from behind the mountain. Cast a touch of golden light into the still-sleeping mountain village, where the dew shimmers in the valley meadows still in shadow, and one or two timid birdsong or two can be heard.

The children walked along the path towards the village, and the small figures quickly disappeared into the pale blue morning mist of the valley.

The end of the play.

……

The lights are on.

The theater was quiet for a long time. Only then suddenly thunderous applause erupted.

Han Sanye, chairman of China Film Group, who was sitting not far from Chen Xin, took the lead in standing up. While applauding, he shook hands with Yu Shijian beside him and said, "Mr. Yu." Congratulations, I think, a great masterpiece in the history of Chinese science fiction films was born. ”

In the rhythmic applause of the live audience. All the main creators came to the stage to greet the audience who came to attend the premiere.

As the director, Ning Hao first took the stage to speak, in addition to telling some interesting anecdotes during the filming process, he also thanked Liu Cixin and Cybertron Digital for their support to the film.

Then, the leading actors of the film, the representatives of the crew and the group of children who participated in the filming of the film came to the stage to speak, but everyone did not speak for a long time, until Zuihou, the host of the premiere ceremony came to the stage and said: "Originally, we controlled the time for the crew to give a speech for about 20 minutes, but now there is an accident, as far as I have just learned, there is a very important news to be announced by the film investor next." Next, we would like to welcome Mr. Chen Xin, the representative of Cybertron Digital, and Mr. Yu Shijian, President of Horse Racing Galloping Film Company, to speak on the stage. ”

Whispers sounded in the theater, and the CEOs of those film companies had anxious looks on their faces.

Yu Shijian and Chen Xin took the stage side by side, Yu Shijian took the microphone from the host's hand and said: "To be honest, when I first heard this proposal, I didn't agree, but after Mr. Chen Xin's persuasion, I made this difficult decision a few days ago, and I would like to pay tribute to Mr. Chen Xin of Cybertron Digital, it is his proposal that makes the movie "Country Teacher" have extraordinary significance, so I think it is better for Mr. Chen Xin to announce this news." ”

As he spoke, Yu Shijian handed the microphone to Chen Xin with a smile.

Chen Xin didn't shirk, took the microphone, and secretly scolded the old fox, he believed that without Mu Yunshan's consent, Yu Shijian would not dare to accept his proposal!

Chen Xin raised his head and nodded slightly to Mu Yunshan, who was sitting in the seat below, and said with a smile: "Thank you for being able to attend the premiere of "The Country Teacher", and on behalf of the investor of "The Country Teacher", Cybertron Digital and the Horse Racing Galloping Film Company, I would like to announce to everyone here that in the next month, no matter how much box office the film receives worldwide, we have decided to use 50% of the box office profits to set up an education charity fund to improve the education of teachers in poor areas of our country. ”

As soon as the words fell, the scene was quiet for a second or two, and then suddenly thunderous applause broke out.

Whether it was those movie star directors, or the executives of film and television companies, and media reporters, everyone was stunned by Chen Xin's statement.

Based on the current popularity of rural teachers, many people predict that the global box office will not be too big of a problem to exceed one billion dollars, and according to the 40 percent profit obtained by the investors, Cybertron Digital and Horse Racing Gallop will each share the box office of 200 million US dollars. But this time he donated 50% of the profits, which is 200 million US dollars, 1.3 billion RMB, and Cybertron Digital and Horse Racing Galloping Film Company are too inappropriate to make money!

The reporters sitting in the back row stood up and raised their hands to ask: "Mr. Chen Xin, is what you said true?"

"If 'The Country Teacher' surpasses a billion dollars at the global box office, how does your company operate this huge donation?"

There were also some unkind reporters who directly asked very sharp questions: "May I ask if your company is announcing this news at this time, is there any suspicion of hype to attract the box office?"

……

Chen Xin was about to hand over the microphone to the host of the premiere and leave the stage directly, but when he heard this question, he stopped, looked at the reporter, and said: "I don't know what your purpose is in raising this question, if you say it's hype, I can answer you very clearly, it's really hype, of course, if this hype can double the box office of our films, then I welcome all films to carry out such hype when they are released......"

With that, Chen Xin handed over the microphone to the on-site host and walked to the backstage without looking back. (To be continued......)
