Verse 29: Undercurrents

Duane leaned back in his chair and stared blankly at the street through the floor-to-ceiling glass window on the right-hand side.

Outside the window, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old was walking around, holding a populette and licking it as she walked. When he passed by Duane, he saw a strange uncle with a haggard face and red eyes staring at him, and the little girl was so frightened that she didn't lick the pop candy, and lowered her head and trotted away.

Du An retracted his gaze, looked at Shu Yu in front of him, and sighed, "Eldest sister, can you let me sleep well?"

He was busy until two or three o'clock last night, but he didn't expect to be called out by Shu Yu early in the morning.

Shu Yu raised the cup in his hand and took a leisurely sip of tea, put down the cup, and pushed the newspaper in his hand over.

Du An's flipped over and saw that it was the Nanyang Morning News, and a piece of news occupied half of the page.

"Fifteen-year-old girl was stunned in the theater", this is the main title, and the subtitle is "What is the responsibility of the Film Censorship Committee", and the specific content is that He Mou, a first-year female student of Nanyang No. 13 Middle and High School, was overly excited and her heart beat too fast when she watched the horror film "Chainsaw" in the cinema yesterday evening, and she fainted on the spot. After being rushed to the hospital by her brother and the theater staff who accompanied her to watch the movie, she woke up in the early morning.

In his opinion, such a dangerous film should not be protected, but should be restricted, as to why such a film is protected? The author did not say anything, but induced the audience to think in the direction of "bribery" and "shady" between the lines.

Finally, the author of this article believes that the prosperity of the film market is a good thing, but at the same time, we should also see the ideological guidance of films, and film practitioners and film censorship committees should be aware of their social responsibilities at this moment, and launch more and better works for people such as "Warm Spring", instead of falling deeper and deeper on the road of grandstanding.

Duane was happy when he saw the name of "Warm Spring" and asked, "How much hatred?"

Shu Yu ignored him, and after taking another sip of tea, he said, "Yesterday's box office also came out, 46,000, more than tripled." Analysts say that if this continues, the total box office after a week should not be a problem to reach 500,000. If this result is maintained for another two days, the theater chain should also agree to renew the screening contract for another week, and the total box office should reach 1 million when the film is fully completed, so that the production cost and publicity cost should be recovered and there will be a small surplus. ”

Duane nodded, and silently calculated in his heart: one million, then what he can get is twenty-thousand.

After tossing for two days, it was finally not in vain.

At the thought of having 20,000 to take, Duane, who had been languishing from just now to now, was finally completely refreshed.

"Twenty in one......"

Duane muttered to himself, and began to think about how to spend the money: send 18,000 to his family, and keep 3,000 for himself - his pair of double stars have been patched for several years, and he can finally buy a pair of shoes that are not broken; he doesn't need to buy clothes, anyway, now he has to change his work clothes every day at work, and it is a waste to buy new clothes; he can buy a pair of pants, his black trousers are too fat, and when the wind blows in winter, they will pour in under the trouser hems, and they will freeze uncomfortably, so they can buy a pair of thick pants that fit, and they also have to buy a pair of autumn pants......

When he got the 7,000 yuan before, Du An's left 2,000 for himself, but he was not willing to spend the 2,000, but he only bought a red bean shirt to line the faΓ§ade before going to Shanghai, and now he can have another 3,000, and he is finally willing to buy some things for himself.

By the way, and Aunt Shen. She has taken care of herself for so long, and she has never forgotten herself when she has delicious food, and she can't express herself without a little bit...... After getting the money, buy some nutritional products for Aunt Shen, and her daughter Song Zhen can't forget it.

I remember that Song Zhen always seems to wear a few clothes - a little girl at this age is the most face-saving time, so I will buy her a new dress, I can't let her be looked down upon by her classmates at school, then Aunt Shen will also be uncomfortable......

Song Zhen, who Du An's mind was thinking about, was being entangled by his classmates at the moment.

"Ah, let's go together~Let's go together~" Song Zhen's tablemate Li Xiaomin was hugging her and being coquettish.

As a student of No. 9 Middle School, there is no concept of weekends: for them, they have to go to school every day, and they can only have one day off a month, so even if it is a Sunday, they have to report to school obediently.

Song Zhen smiled helplessly, and was about to say whether he would go or not, when Gu Mingang, the boy in front, turned around and invited warmly: "Yes, Song Zhen, let's go together, I heard that this movie is very good, and more than a dozen people in the class will go, Yin Hong, Ruan Xiaofeng, and they will all go." Anyway, it's a rich man who treats a guest, so if you don't go, won't you go in vain? As he spoke, he stared at Song Zhen with ** eyes.

Yin Hong, Ruan Xiaofeng, and Li Xiaomin, who is now holding herself, are Song Zhen's best friends, and when she heard that they were all gone, Song Zhen's refusal to exit was speechless.

If she didn't go, wouldn't there be a rift between her and her friends?

Probably yes, maybe they will say behind their backs that she "drags" and "plays a big name with her beauty" and something like that.

Song Zhen, who came from a poor family, was more precocious and thought more than girls of the same age, so the refusal that was about to be exported became another sentence: "Think about it." ”

"Yay!"

Li Xiaomin shouted triumphantly, hugging Song Zhen like a kitten, seeing Gu Mingang secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva, thinking in his heart: It would be nice to replace Li Xiaomin with himself......

After school, Song Zhen went back to the house for dinner first, and talked to Shen Huifang about going to the movies - the earliest of these unlucky movies was at 23 o'clock, and if he didn't go home so late, he obviously had to report to Shen Huifang.

Shen Huifang wanted to say, "I have to go to school tomorrow", but after thinking about it, she didn't say it in the end, but just touched Song Zhen's head lovingly: because of the situation of her own family and the reason why Song Zhen is so beautiful, she is always afraid that Song Zhen will be unsociable and bullied at school - beautiful and poor girls may be liked by boys, but it is easy to be isolated by girls, and she has always been worried about this. Now seeing that Song Zhen's classmates are getting along very well, she is very happy, and naturally she doesn't want to destroy it, but she just told Song Zhen to go home after watching the movie, but she didn't say "I'll go with you" or anything like that - if that's the case, maybe her daughter will really be labeled and isolated in school in the future.

After dinner, I didn't wait for a while, someone came to call the door, and when I opened it, there were still a lot of people outside, men and women, and I counted seven or eight. After saying hello to Shen Huifang, Song Zhen left with them.

A group of people first went to the agreed place to meet the others, and after gathering, a group of people went to KTV to sing for a while, to see that the time was almost up, and collectively killed to the cinema.

KTV is shared equally by everyone, which makes Song Zhen's pocket money that he has saved for a long time empty all of a sudden, but it's hard to say anything, it's still a good movie, someone invites him.

The person who invited the guest was called Wang Wei, who had the same name as the famous poet in ancient times, but he looked very postmodern, and the pimples and pits on his face were miserable.

After sitting in the hall for a while, you can enter, but there is a small accident.

"Hello sir, digital cameras cannot be substituted for the viewing hall, please hand them over. We have special lockers, and will give you the corresponding number plate, and you can get it with the number plate when you come out, if there is a loss, our theater will compensate for the full price. ”

The ticket inspector stopped Wang Wei and said very skillfully - there is no way not to be skilled, she has stopped at least a dozen such people in the past two days.

When Wang Wei obediently handed over the camera and checked that there were no obvious minors, a group of people could enter.

As soon as he got through the guΓ² ticket gate, Gu Mingang couldn't help but ask: "Wang Wei, I wanted to ask just now, what are you doing with a camera when you come to watch a movie?" I didn't say anything about taking some group photos for us after taking it for a long time. ”

This last sentence is what Gu Mingang wanted to say - when he first saw the camera, he was still looking forward to taking a photo with Song Zhen in his heart, but he didn't expect that this camera was just an ornament at all.

Wang Wei shook his head when he heard Gu Mingang's words, with a lonely and lonely look, "You don't understand." "His chest was a little higher.

Wang Wei didn't want to say that it was difficult for others to ask again, after all, this guy was a big rich man tonight.

A group of people entered Hall 2, and after sitting down, people came in one after another, and it didn't take long for more than half of the whole audience to sit down.

"Is this movie so good? It's all about this and there are so many people!"

Li Xiaomin, who was sitting close to Song Zhen, couldn't help but ask when he saw this situation.

Song Zhen also had the same question: when he was in the hall just now, he saw a lot of audiences. She thought that so many audiences would watch a few movies separately, but looking at the number of people sitting now, most of them came to see this movie.

Wang Wei, who was sitting in the front row, turned his head to look at Li Xiaomin, raised his fingers and shook it, with an unfathomable expression, and said slowly: "This is not a movie, this is a war." ”

Li Xiaomin's three words "neuropathy" were about to be exported, and Song Zhen pulled her hand and asked her to hold back these three words.

Luckily, the movie started quickly.

When he saw the words "Chainsaw" at the beginning of the film, Song Zhen was stunned.

She didn't pay attention when she was in the theater, and when she checked the tickets, Wang Wei took a long list of tickets and checked the tickets alone, so she didn't know what movie she was going to watch until now.

This name is too familiar to her, and she worked in this crew during the summer vacation. And from the day she left the crew, she thought that she would have nothing to do with this name, but she didn't expect fate to play a joke on her today.

What an amazing experience it was for a seventeen-year-old high school girl to sit in a movie theater and watch a movie, surrounded by familiar classmates, but none of these classmates knew that she had worked and contributed to the crew of the movie they were watching, and now the movie they are watching also has the fruits of her labor in it?

Song Zhen seemed to be between two worlds at this moment.

The arm tightened, pulling Song Zhen's thoughts back. Turning her head, Li Xiaomin was holding her arm, looking at her pitifully: "I'm most afraid of horror movies, let me hug it." After speaking, he looked at the screen with excitement in his eyes.

Song Zhen also sat quietly and watched.

Cinema is a magical thing, here, Song Zhen can't find a trace of the humble situation he saw on the set from the scenes, on the contrary, it is complete, coherent, three-dimensional, and real, which makes it impossible for Song Zhen to connect the picture in front of him with the set he stayed in before.

It was like a magic trick, it made these classmates either whisper, or scream, or close their eyes in fear, or retching with a pale face, and it made Song Zhen look fascinated.

The final shocking reversal detonated the theater, exclamations such as "" came and went, and Wang Wei shouted "For freedom!", none of these students understood what freedom had to do with this movie.

The subtitles played for a while, and the audience gradually left the audience amid discussions such as "better than expected" and "worth this price".

Just as the students collectively stood up and were about to leave, a girl suddenly pointed to the screen and shouted, "Look, Song Zhen!"

Everyone looked at the screen together, only to see a few big words on the screen.

Producer: Song Zhen

"I didn't expect someone to be called Song Zhen, this name is rare. ”

As soon as Gu Min spoke, everyone nodded: Obviously, no one thinks that this name on the screen is Song Zhen who gets along with them day and night and is with them now.

Only Song Zhen watched the subtitles disappear in a daze, and was silent for a long time.

After leaving the viewing hall, everyone was about to disperse, but Wang Wei took out a stack of movie tickets, took out a pen, wrote the number "10" on one of the movie tickets, and then handed the pen to Gu Mingang, and handed over a movie ticket by the way, "Students, help write it." It's a total of 10 points, 10 points are the highest, 1 point is the lowest, you can write a few points if you think the movie just now, and you want the most real and objective feelings. ”

The students felt more and more that this Wang Wei was really weird, but they were invited to watch a movie, and this small request was obviously not easy to refuse, so one person one ticket, passed the pen and wrote one by one.

Song Zhen took a look, and most of them wrote either "9" or "8", and no one wrote a "10" like Wang Weinaang - these students of the ninth middle school were obviously deeply educated by the golden mean, and they were well versed in the truth of excess.

After each one, he handed Wang Wei the movie tickets with the numbers written on them -- who knows what he wanted them for?

The pen was quickly passed to Song Zhen's hand, she held the pen, looked at the movie ticket, and the person's face flashed in her mind.

10 points for a movie, but because you're going to deduct 2 points, it's 8 points.

Song Zhen thought so, and then put down the pen, and the number after closing the pen made her stunned.

Before she knew it, she wrote a "10".

Wang Wei's eyes lit up, he looked very excited, and said with a smile: "No wonder the teachers say that Song Zhen is destined to rely on Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future, and he is really different from us, he has vision!"

Since it has been written, it is not easy to change it, Song Zhen has no choice but to hand the pen to the next person, and then hand over the movie ticket to Wang Wei.

After collecting the movie tickets, Wang Wei went to get the camera, and then spread out the movie films, one by one, this strange behavior attracted the attention of many viewers waiting in the hall to watch the movie, and all the students hurriedly turned their heads one by one, pretending not to know this guy.

At this time, a boy who looked like he was also a high school student walked over, looked at the movie ticket spread out with surprise in his eyes, looked at Wang Wei again, and whispered tentatively: "Comrade-in-arms?"

When Wang Wei heard this, he was full of excitement, raised his head suddenly, smiled, and nodded fiercely.

The boy stretched out his thumb, compared the movie tickets lined up, and said, "Niu X!"

Wang Wei didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he held up the camera and shouted "For freedom!".

The boy's face was immediately full of embarrassment: when his comrade-in-arms shouted, he felt that he was enough for the second grade, but he didn't expect that there was still a huge gap between him and the young man in front of him. So the boy had no choice but to wave his hand and hurriedly walked away, saying that he didn't know this disgraced guy.

The students of the ninth middle school took a step back in unison and distanced themselves from Wang Wei, for fear that others would think that they were the same as the second middle school teenager.

"It's just watching a movie, it's war and freedom, does he think he's fighting?"

Li Xiaomin muttered in Song Zhen's ear, Song Zhen smiled, and somehow thought of that person again.
