Chapter 19: The Cinema
Looking at the latter's stupid and stunned appearance, Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but smile, stood behind Shangguan Zirou and buckled the necklace for him, and then gently swept his ten fingers across the other party's hair, brushed out the hair, and said with a smile: "The tears of the muse are also the tears of angels, and they are the tears she left for her lover." ”
When Shangguan Zirou heard this, she was immediately attracted and waited for Wang Xiaotian to continue.
But Wang Xiaotian was silent for a moment before continuing: "The Muse is the daughter of Zeus and the goddess of memory, Mone, and when she was seventeen years old, she fell in love with the mortal Malcius, well, just like the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong in our China. ”
"But soon the main god Zeus found out about the love between them, the muse is Zeus's favorite daughter, beautiful and incomparable, Zeus was jealous, so he tried his best to prevent the two from falling in love, and sent the muse to accompany him to the battlefield of Herodose, so that the two could not see each other again."
"This Zeus is so bad, why don't you let them meet?" Shangguan Zirou couldn't help but ask.
At this moment, Wang Xiaotian was completely immersed in the narration of the story, and did not hear the latter's question at all, "Malcius has not been able to wait for his beloved goddess, and decided to go to the divine realm to find the muse, but on the way, he must pass through the seven most evil places in the world to reach the temple. Relying on the 'Guardian Necklace' given to him by the Muses, Malcius has been able to break through the first six badlands ......"
"But at the last point, the necklace's energy ran out, and Malcius was swallowed by the nine-headed serpent 'Camera'."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Shangguan couldn't help but cover his mouth.
Wang Xiaotian continued: "When the Muse heard the news, she rushed back desperately, she found the hydra that had eaten Maltheus, cut off its nine heads and killed it, and retrieved Malcius. ”
"Whatever is swallowed by the strange snake 'Grima' turns into an ugly stone, and the muse, not wanting to see her beloved turned into stone, gives up her angel's wings and attaches it to the stone, and one of her tears falls on the stone, and the ugly stone becomes a beautiful spar......"
Speaking of this, Wang Xiaotian raised his eyes and looked at Shangguan Zirou, his eyes were a little red at the moment, and there were faint tears in them.
Originally, Shangguan Zirou was still immersed in the story told by Wang Xiaotian, but when she saw the latter's expression, she was immediately startled, and said nervously: "Xiaotian, you ...... You're all right, are you? ”
Wang Xiaotian shook his head, he didn't think he was a sentimental person, but at this moment, he still couldn't control the emotions in his heart, and gently hugged Shangguan Zirou into his arms.
This story about the muse, in fact, Wang Xiaotian is telling the experience of his own life, the difference between Shangguan Zirou, the little girl waited stupidly in the rainy night, but never saw him.
Later, he was full of hope but returned disappointed every time, and after learning that Shangguan Zirou was married, his heart also died......
At that time, I was really underbeaten, and I broke this stupid girl's heart countless times.
Stroking the other party's hair, Wang Xiaotian smiled, "Now I give you this beautiful spar that Maltheus has transformed, it represents the blessing of the muse and will always guard you." ”
In ancient Greek mythology, the muse is the god of art and youth, and is also tasted as a symbol of inspiration and art.
The people of ancient Greece believed that girls were angels, and when she shed a tear, God withdrew her wings. Shangguan Zirou didn't know how many times he cried for him back then, but in fact, Wang Xiaotian knew in his heart that the latter had already given up heaven for him when he shed tears for the first time in front of him.
Quietly snuggled in Wang Xiaotian's arms, Shangguan Zirou didn't know what Wang Xiaotian would cry for, but she was moved by this story, she knew that she might not be able to leave the man in front of her for the rest of her life......
Neither of them spoke again, quietly enjoying the peace and ease.
"Zirou, let's go to the movies." Wang Xiaotian said suddenly.
Shangguan Zirou nodded, she was willing to be with the other party, no matter where she went.
Wang Xiaotian doesn't really want to watch movies, and the film shooting techniques and post-production techniques of this era can't make him, a designer with an eye above the top, interested, at most a memory of the classics.
All he enjoyed was the feeling of staying with Shangguan Zirou, the feeling that lovers should have, and the movie was just a way for him to find this feeling.
Night had fallen, and the moonlight had crept up on the branches.
Wang Xiaotian took Shangguan Zirou's little hand and strolled on the quiet country road, the two of them chatted from time to time while walking, most of the time, they were still feeling each other with their hearts, and the distance between their hearts was getting closer and closer.
There are two cinemas in Qingcheng County, one in the west/city/district, and one in the Dongcheng district, separated by most of the county.
The Xicheng Cinema was closer to Wang Xiaotian's home, but it still took more than half an hour to walk, and at this time the sky was almost completely dark, and the lights began to light up on the streets.
In the 80s and 90s, especially in this small county, that is, a comprehensive multi-functional place, in addition to showing movies at night, the curtain can also be used as an auditorium during the day, such as a commendation meeting for model workers or a public trial meeting, which can come in handy.
Occasionally, it will be used as a stage, and the evening party held by the holiday unit and the school is also staged here, and when he was a freshman in high school, Wang Xiaotian came here to participate in the rehearsal of the chorus.
Movie theaters rarely show movies during the day, so at night, the door of the theater is crowded with a small group of people, most of whom are still young people who are shouting and drinking, these people are energetic and have nowhere to vent, and they don't want to stay at home to read books, and they can only run to the movie theater in this era of little entertainment.
At the ticket window of the theater, Wang Xiaotian saw three movies being staged: "Farewell My Concubine", "Journey to the West: Cinderella", "The Pianist at Sea", two domestic films and one imported foreign film, among which Xing Ye's "Journey to the West" is called a classic of the times.
There are also large promotional posters of three movies posted on the wall of the movie theater, but it is not so much a poster as it is a direct painting, and the art master's skills are really not very good, at least the face of Xing Ye, Wang Xiaotian really didn't recognize it as a monkey, why didn't he think it was a bear at first glance, although this version of the black-haired Monkey King does look a little like a bear.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Xiaotian still chose to watch Xing Ye's "Journey to the West 2 Cinderella", there is no reason, the classic things are worth recalling. Although "The Pianist at Sea" is also a blockbuster, Wang Xiaotian really has no interest in the literary films made by those blue-eyed foreigners, and he does not conspire with each other.
The movie started at half past six, and two movie tickets were purchased, and Wang Xiaotian and Shangguan Zirou stood at the door of the theater and waited.
And at this moment, in front of a small shop not far from the cinema, a girl with a ponytail is also waiting here after buying some freshly fried sunflower seeds from the owner.
"Shizu, here!"
About ten minutes later, a voice came from across the street.
Chen Xiaojing, who was holding melon seeds in her hand, looked up and saw a Jialing motorcycle painted with red paint coming this way, and her colleague Ye Xin got off the motorcycle, followed by a young man in a black leather jacket, who was also riding a motorcycle just now.
Chen Xiaojing's face was a little cold, she greeted Ye Xin with a light smile, and then her eyes fell on the strange man.
"You're Xiao Jing, I've often heard Xin'er mention you." The man was about twenty-five years old, not handsome, but he felt polite, and stretched out a palm to Chen Xiaojing at this moment.
Chen Xiaojing just nodded slightly, and did not reach out to shake the other party, and the man suddenly withdrew his palm with some embarrassment.
Ye Xin knew the temperament of her good friend, and immediately played a round on the side, "Xuemin, hurry up, the movie is about to start, Xiao Jing, have you bought anything to eat?" ”
"Well, I bought fool seeds." Chen Xiaojing nodded.
"We also bought popcorn and soda...... Hey, look, the people inside are gone! ”
As he spoke, the curtain of the cinema door was opened, and the people inside walked out one after another.
