After the 80s, under the influence of the introduction of a large number of Hong Kong films to the mainland in the form of videotapes, the entertainment venue of the video hall quickly became popular and blossomed everywhere. Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Leslie Cheung, Stephen Chow and other stars also quickly became popular all over the country in this era and became the idols of countless young people.

However, in the late 90s, as the discs basically replaced the videotapes and DVD players gradually became popular in the society, and because the video halls often played violent, murderous and even pornographic videos with adverse effects, many illegal movie halls were severely cracked down by the relevant departments, and in developed cities, the sun has gradually set, and they have been replaced by movie theaters and new Internet cafes.

However, in the remote and backward Liulin County, the video hall still occupies the absolute leading position in the "film and television entertainment industry".

Two or three hundred meters north of Xinhua Bookstore, there is a video hall called "Big World".

This is a large-scale video hall in Liulin County, there are halls and private rooms, Chen Qingdong and his friends have also come here to watch videos a few times, but they are all halls.

One of the advantages of watching videos in the hall is that the ticket price is cheap, five yuan a piece, and you can watch it continuously, without time limit, while the ticket price of the private room is more expensive, and it is charged by step, that is, you have to charge money once to watch a videotape, but the advantage of watching in the private room is that the environment is better, and you can also choose the film yourself. What's more, the general private room is a man and a woman, and while watching a movie, it meets some other needs by the way.

Chen Qingdong The "Journey to the West" they want to watch is already an old film, and only literary and artistic young people like to watch it, and most of the people who come to the video hall to watch the film like to watch martial arts, violence, and pornographic discs, so they can only go to the private room.

After entering the Great World Video Hall, an obese middle-aged woman with a very bad face glanced at the three of them and asked coldly, "Hall or private room?"

"Private room. Chen Qingdong said.

The middle-aged woman couldn't help but glance at Chen Qingdong, her eyes were very complicated, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "Twenty in the small private room, thirty in the large private room, which one do you want?"

"Big private room. Chen Qingdong took out a hundred yuan and put it on the table and said, "You can choose what snacks and drinks you want to eat." ”

Tian Xin and Liu Xiaoyan were also not polite, and chose a bunch of potato chips, plum blossoms and other things, and a young man came over and took them up to the second floor and entered a small hotel-style room.

The environment in the private room is actually very ordinary, the furnishings are very simple, a four-seater long sofa, a glass coffee table in front, and a TV cabinet in front of it, on which is placed a 25-inch Changhong brand color TV, and a DVD player is placed on the color TV.

An orange curtain hung on the window, smudged on it, but it transmitted the light from the outside more ambiguously.

Inside the room, there was a strange smell of Hermon.

The young man pulled Chen Qingdong aside and said in an obscene and envious tone: "Dude, what kind of film are you watching? Recently, we just got a few Japanese films, have you heard of it? Her new film! The two girls you brought are so beautiful, buddy, you are a cow!"

Chen Qingdong couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "I don't want this kind of film......"

Without waiting for Chen Qingdong to finish speaking, the young man said: "Don't you want Japan's? We also have European and American ones, Yanmar!"

"Don't. Chen Qingdong said, "I want Stephen Chow's liar, talk about the Journey to the West series." ”

The young man couldn't help but be very disappointed when he heard this, and he looked like he was thinking about Chen Qingdong, but he couldn't help but persuade: "Big brother, we have a good relationship with the police station, this private room is very safe, it doesn't matter, there are many people who come here to play, and there are also two people like you who brought them here." ”

Chen Qingdong knew that the private room of this kind of video hall had simply become a cheap place, and it was not normal for this young man to say this, but if Tian Xin and Liu Xiaoyan heard this, it is estimated that this young man would have suffered it!

Chen Qingdong didn't bother to explain to him again, and said categorically: "Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West", you want both, hurry up." ”

The young man had no choice but to say: "Okay, big brother, wait a minute, Stephen Chow's film, we are very good here." ”

A few minutes later, the young man walked in with two sets of Stephen Chow's films, and debugged them, before going out, he didn't forget to wink at Chen Qingdong and said, "Big brother, if you need to change the film, just tell me, I'll be downstairs." ”

Chen Qingdong smiled bitterly: "Okay." ”

Tian Xin and Liu Xiaoyan also seemed to understand what the young man meant by "changing the film", their faces were a little crimson, but they didn't speak.

The first "Moonlight Treasure Box" was played quickly, and the first scene was Tang Sanzang's classic verbosity, when he said, "The Moonlight Treasure Box is a treasure, throwing it will pollute the environment, what if it hits the children? Even if you can't hit the children, it's not good to hit the flowers and plants!", Tian Xin and Liu Xiaoyan both laughed.

Then Sun Wukong was reborn as a bandit, a desolate desert, and a woman in white came on horseback......

The two "Journey to the West" lasted for more than three hours in total, except for changing the film, they watched it without interruption, they didn't even go to the toilet during the period, and there was no discussion, and the three of them watched it very seriously.

In the part "The Great Sage Marrying", when the Supreme Treasure said the classic confession for the last time before Zixia died, "Once, there was a sincere love in front of me, I didn't cherish it, and I regretted it when I lost it, and the most painful thing in the world is nothing more than this." If Heaven could give me a chance to do it all over again, I would say three words to that girl: "I love you." "If I had to add a deadline to this love, I would like it to be...... 10,000 years!", the two girls were crying!

When the movie ended, the three of them sat still, looking at the frozen TV screen, and they were all immersed in the thoughts of the movie.

Chen Qingdong has watched "Journey to the West" two or three times before, but when he watched it before, he didn't read it so seriously in one go, and his emotion was not too deep, and there were more scenes of laughter, but today I watched it again from beginning to end, and I felt a lot of emotion.

However, unlike Tian Xin and Liu Xiaoyan, who are so emotional about the love story in the movie, Chen Qingdong feels more powerless from the movie.

Like Sun Wukong, a genius and a monkey with great powers, he couldn't ask for the constraints of fate, and finally lived like a dog, obeyed the Bodhisattva's arrangement, put on a golden hoop, and escorted Tang Sanzang to the West Heaven to learn scriptures.

So as an ordinary person, how easy is it to get rid of the shackles of fate and live as oneself in the soul?

The world is a huge stage, you always have to repeat your own life or other people's lives, and trying to live yourself as the director of this super-large stage play is a kind of self-defeating. Maybe what I can do is to try to live as a protagonist in this limited world, rather than a dead man.

After a few minutes, Chen Qingdong opened his mouth to break the silence: "This film is really good. ”

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Needless to say, this is my favorite!"

Chen Qingdong wanted to make a joke, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't say it, just said: "It's not too early, let's go, let's go to dinner." ”

Liu Xiaoyan said infinitely nymphomaniac: "If there is someone who likes me like the Supreme Treasure, I will definitely wait for him to come back and marry me." ”

Tian Xin said: "Silly girl, people will become a Buddha after taking the scriptures, how can they marry you?"

Liu Xiaoyan pouted and said: "What's so good about becoming a Buddha? I don't care, I have to wait for him when I become a Buddha! I only envy mandarin ducks and don't envy immortals!"

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "What you said is exactly the same as Zixia. ”

"Alas!" Liu Xiaoyan let out a long sigh, looking infinitely emotional.

"Let's go!" while eating, sigh again!" Chen Qingdong said.

In winter, it gets dark very quickly, and when I walk out of the video hall, it is already more than six o'clock, and the night is falling, and the lights are on. The sky was also a little overcast, and it seemed that a rain and snow were coming.

A gust of north wind blew, Chen Qingdong couldn't help but wrap his clothes tightly, and asked, "Two beauties, where do you want to eat?"

Tian Xin said: "Since you are the one who treats, then you have the final say, and the guests are as they please." ”

"Oh well. Chen Qingdong said, "It's so cold, let's go eat hot pot." ”

Liu Xiaoyan said: "It's good to eat hot pot! I know there is a newly opened Chongqing hot pot, which is said to be very good! Let's go there and eat, it's not too far from here." ”

"I'm okay with that. Tian Xin said.

"Okay, then let's go eat Chongqing hot pot!" Chen Qingdong said.

Liu Xiaoyan said that it was only two or three kilometers away, so they walked there without taking a car.

On the way, Liu Xiaoyan couldn't help but send a sigh about love, from Liu Xiaoyan's words, Chen Qingdong can also feel that this is a girl who is most affectionate and sexual. It's just that he can't help but sigh in his heart, after all, Liu Xiaoyan has only graduated from college for more than half a year, and the time to go to work is only half a year, and he is in the Youth League and County Committee, a unit dominated by young people, and has not been soaked in the society, especially the big dye vat of officialdom, but there is an age limit for working in the Youth League Committee, and the Youth League Committee, as the most efficient cradle for cultivating young cadres, Liu Xiaoyan must go out of the Youth League Committee and enter other important positions to experience it.

It's just that I don't know how long Liu Xiaoyan's affectionate heart can be maintained after being invaded by the big dye vat?

After sending out her feelings, Liu Xiaoyan said to Tian Xin with a wicked smile: "Xinxin, how is your true son of heaven lately? Are you still continuing to launch a fierce love offensive against you?"

Tian Xin frowned, and said angrily: "Nonsense, what is the true destiny?"

"Haha, I'm embarrassed to admit it!" Liu Xiaoyan laughed, "Wang Yunfei! The entire county party committee compound knows about it!"
