On the small square in front of Pingling Railway Station, the villagers from Qili and Eight Townships have gathered at this time, they came here early, the scene is chaotic, very lively. 【Reading.com】

Wang Xiaohu, Zhao Gang, and the driver Xiaosun parked the car in the commune, and the people of the commune saw that a car was coming, and hurriedly came out of the house to ask, Zhao Gang shook the work card borrowed from the Jinan Military Region, and the people of the commune hurriedly welcomed the three into the house.

"Three leaders, I don't know what we came to our commune to convey today?" The person in charge of the commune was a middle-aged man of about 40 years old, and when he saw that the three of them were dressed extraordinarily, and he came down with the workers of the military region, he thought that there was some big mess on the commune's side, and he came to investigate.

"There's nothing else, it's just that movie tickets can't be bought in the city, and my brother really wants to see this movie, so he chose the nearest place, so it won't cause you trouble, right?"

Zhao Gang handed the other party a cigarette, and then politely lit it for him.

The person in charge of the commune tasted this kind of good cigarette that is rarely enjoyed in ordinary times, and when he heard that he was just passing by to watch a movie, his heart immediately relaxed a lot.

"A few leaders haven't eaten yet, so let's eat, if you don't dislike it, let's sit down and eat together."

Zhao Gang waved his hand and said, "No need, we ate when we came." Eat first, and my friends and I will go outside and have a look. ”

After that, without waiting for a few people in the commune to react, they pulled Wang Xiaohu out.

"Lao Wang, what happened to you just now? How to be the same as a fool. ”

After coming out, Zhao Gang asked dissatisfiedly.

Wang Xiaohu sighed, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that this place is relatively backward, you see that only the commune in their village seems to have electric lights, right?" ”

Zhao Gang frowned and looked at Wang Xiaohu for a long time before saying, "You don't want to do good things anymore, do you?"

When the Tangshan earthquake was struck, Wang Xiaohu handed Zhao Gang a box of general food stamps before leaving, and the number of those food stamps was terrifying, and he didn't know how many Tangshan people had been saved after the earthquake, and the reputation of "Wang Dashan" also spread quietly at that time.

"Hehe, if possible, it shouldn't cost a lot of money to connect the villages of the commune with electricity and cover the open spots of the primary school for construction." Wang Xiaohu said after thinking about it seriously.

Zhao Gang saw that he was not joking, and immediately became serious, and looked at Wang Xiaohu with a little more respect.

"Mr. Wang, you make me Zhao Gang ashamed of himself."

"Don't think I am so noble, I just let the life of the people in my hometown be better, and my help to them is limited, and the future life still depends on their own efforts." Wang Xiaohu showed a very happy look on his face, and said after a long time: "This matter is settled like this, and we will discuss it when we go back, but you have to send someone to keep an eye on this matter, I don't want my money to flow into other people's pockets." ”

Zhao Gang nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry!" ”

The two walked out of the commune while talking, and a simple movie curtain had been erected on the square in front of the train station, and Wang Xiaohu saw that a person was stepping on a ladder and strapped a square loudspeaker to the shelf of the screen with the help of others.

There was a square table in the middle of the square, and it was still half an hour before the film was played, and everyone was chattering around the square table.

Wang Xiaohu took advantage of this time to pull Zhao Gang and the driver Xiaosun around the commune, looking at this familiar and unfamiliar land with mixed feelings, and at the same time thinking in his mind how to plan this place where he had lived for many years in his previous life.

Zhao Gang naturally didn't understand what Wang Xiaohu was thinking, so he followed behind in confusion, and the bored Xiaosun even bought a bag of melon seeds from the small trader and swallowed it.

"Lao Wang, it's almost time, let's go back." Zhao Gang said after looking at the time.

Wang Xiaohu nodded, looked at the people who came from the neighboring villages one after another, and said with great interest: "Let's go, let's go to see the premiere of "Myth" in China." ”

When they returned to the square again, it was already full of people, and the three of them could only stand on the small dirt slope in front of the square and stretch their necks to watch.

A brand new 16mm projector was also placed on the square table that was still empty, and a bamboo pole was erected on the right side of the square table, with a relatively high pole, and a light bulb hung on it, and a wire was tied to the speaker.

Through the light, Wang Xiaohu saw a very young and familiar figure fiddling with the projector, which was not very professional in terms of his craft, and it took a lot of effort to install the film in the iron box onto the front wheel of the projector.

I could vaguely hear the people around the projectionist talking.

"Wang Zhenrong, is it okay to be tender, I've been tinkering for about ten minutes!"

"That's it, I also know what the leaders of our commune think, if you don't let Nen be a projectionist, how skilled Lao Liu was in the past!"

"There's no hair on the mouth, and it's not good to do things!"

"It's been a long time since we were delayed, and we haven't watched the movie yet!"

Wang Zhenrong was the projectionist of Pingling Commune, he was sweating profusely at this time, and he didn't pay attention to all kinds of complaints from the villagers, so he finally led the film to the rear wheel of the projector, covered the lens, and let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Okay." ”

Then he cleared his throat and said: "Comrades, pay attention, there are two movies tonight, the first is "The Gunshots of the Secret Bureau" filmed by Changchun Film Studio, and the second is the martial arts film "Myth" jointly produced by Hong Kong Concord Film Company, our Changchun Film Studio, Shanghai Film Studio, and Yanjing Film Producer. ”

"Wang Zhenrong, I've read "The Guns of the Secret Bureau", let's put "Myth" tenderly!"

"That's right, let's play "Myth", I haven't seen a Hong Kong movie yet."

The villagers chattered and embarrassed Wang Zhenrong, Wang Zhenrong blushed and said: "No, what is stipulated above is to put "The Gunshots of the Secret Bureau" first! ”

"It's about to be shown, everyone be quiet!"

Thousands of people in the square suddenly held their breath, and the noise of children was much less, about half a minute, with Wang Zhenrong's work, the projector made a clicking sound, and the light bulb hanging on the pole also went black, reflecting the blue-green light emitted from the movie machine, a crisp "哋哓哓哋哋哋哓"

The sound began to sound from inside the projector, and the movie screen was accompanied by the sound of the movie starting.

Wang Xiaohu noticed a very interesting thing, that is, the screen size of "Gunshots of the Secret Bureau" released now is very small, and it is far from the widescreen movie in Hong Kong, which should be caused by the problem of the shooting machine.

At this time, everyone's attention was deeply attracted by this small picture, and there was only a small voice or the occasional shouting of children on the field.

Although the villagers clamored and shouted that they had watched "The Guns of the Secret Bureau" dozens of times, but after the movie was actually played, they watched it with relish, and several people behind Wang Xiaohu have even reached the realm of memorizing the plot and even the lines backwards, you can completely figure out how many times they have watched it.

From Wang Xiaohu's point of view, the movie "The Gunshots of the Secret Bureau" completely follows the red main theme in terms of plot, and the actors in it are immature, he doubts that there are any professional actors in it, and the age of the female lead is probably about 40 years old, I am afraid that such a movie will be scolded to death in Hong Kong.

However, it can sell more than 20 million box office in the mainland, and it cannot but say how outdated the development of mainland films is.

When a film was finished, the wonderful picture displayed on the movie screen at the same time was interrupted, and the light bulb hanging on the pole suddenly lit up, Wang Zhenrong began to hurriedly remove the film with the blanke in the front of the projector and the black cut in the rear wheel, and then "Ding Knock, Ding Bang" took out an equally black film from the iron box below and put it in front of the projector, and pressed the empty film in front of the projector.

After the last experience, Wang Zhenrong installed it very smoothly this time, hung the film on the rear wheel of the projector, covered the lens, everything was ready, and then with Wang Zhenrong's struggling switch made a crisp "click" sound, the light bulb hanging on the pole went black again, reflecting the blue-green light again, and at the same time crisp "Boom"

The movie screen continued to connect with the picture just now, and attracted everyone's attention deeply to this small picture.

Fortunately, "The Gunshots of the Secret Bureau" has a total of two films, and it took two hours of tossing and turning before it finally ended, and there will be a small break at this time, giving the audience a chance to take a breath.

After all, it will always be tiring to stand like this and stretch your neck to watch movies.

Zhao Gang looked at Wang Xiaohu, who was shaking his neck, and asked with a smile: "How is it, it's hard, right?" Why don't you feel comfortable in the cinema? ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said: "It is undeniable that this is very hard, but you can't feel the warm atmosphere in the cinema." ”

This is like the feeling of playing CS at home is different from playing in an Internet café, the configuration of the computer at home may be better, the environment is better, but it is far less direct than the feeling of playing with everyone in an Internet café.

Being able to experience the scene of rural movie screenings in the 80s in his lifetime is also a measure for Wang Xiaohu to make up for his regrets, after all, the impression of watching movies when he was a child was somewhat blurred, and it is a different taste to feel it anew.

At this moment, there was a sudden twitch in the crowd, and someone shouted at the top of his voice: "Wang Zhenrong, why did you forget your business." ”

"What, what's the matter?"

"It's that before every official screening, Nen should release the work guidance of the commune to a township, why did Nen forget!"

Wang Zhenrong was sweating profusely when he heard this, "President, that, I forgot to do it!" ”

Wang Xiaohu, who was standing on the dirt slope, frowned and asked Zhao Gang, "What work guidance is so important?" ”
