Zhou Hexuan also found an interesting phenomenon, most of those celebrities, politicians and petty bourgeoisie choose to watch the American film "Red Dust". Ordinary citizens and slightly older wealthy people choose to watch the domestic film "The Goddess".

Zhou Hexuan specially accompanied Vivien Li to watch the movie, naturally she also wanted to watch English films, and Vivien Li could only say "thank you", "hello", "goodbye" and other Chinese so far.

In these years, the film technology is still relatively primitive, and there are no synchronous dialogue subtitles. If silent film is to express short dialogue, it must be hand-engraved on the blank film, and then the blank film is cut into the copy, such as Chaplin's silent film subtitles, which are often between the two frames.

Therefore, it is very difficult for a foreigner like Vivien Leigh to watch Chinese movies with English subtitles. You have to design a subtitle device, print the subtitles on the subtitle strip, and stack it on top of the projector when making the copy, and the copied movie will have subtitles.

Once this device is invented, it will not be a problem to dub in post-production, because the principle of both is similar.

Zhou Hexuan felt that he should remind Lianhua Pictures that sometimes the biggest obstacle to invention and creation is not technology, but correct thinking. As long as Zhou Hexuan provides ideas, Chinese filmmakers should be able to invent them easily.

Zhou Hexuan took Vivien Leigh's hand and came to the second row to sit down. They queued up late, and they couldn't choose a good seat, so they could only watch it like this.

Next to it is a young couple, the man may be an employee of a foreign company (foreign company), combing a traitor-style middle-style hairstyle. The woman may still be a student, with short shoulder-length hair and a blue student uniform.

The female student complained: "I should have gone to see "The Goddess", Mr. Zhou personally rewrote it into a script, how much people look forward to it." ”

The man persuaded: "Junru, you have to believe me, this "Red Dust" is really good. A friend of mine who stayed abroad said that "Red Dust" is the highest-grossing film in the United States this year, 10,000 times better than domestic films. ”

"Why haven't I heard of the actor of "Red Dust"?" The schoolgirl asked.

The man explained: "Gable is a new actor who was not famous before, but after acting in this movie, he became famous. ”

The female student said: "But "The Goddess" is also very good, my classmates said that she cried when she saw it. ”

The man could only coax: "Then let's watch "Red Dust" today, and watch "The Goddess" tomorrow." ”

"I have class tomorrow, I don't have time." Schoolgirl said.

The man hurriedly promised: "Whenever you have time, we will watch "The Goddess" one day, and we will never lie to you." ”

The female student was finally persuaded and asked instead, "By the way, you studied in the United States for four years, is it really advanced over there?" ”

"Of course it's advanced, the United States is the most developed country," the man asked as soon as he mentioned the United States, "Have you ever heard of Subway?" ”

The schoolgirl wondered, "Is 'Subway' a good American food?" ”

The man smugly explained, "Subway, a kind of urban railroad built underground. ”

"Why should the railroad be built underground?" The schoolgirls were puzzled.

The man smiled: "Because the United States is too prosperous, big cities are full of cars, and it is easy to cause traffic congestion." The tram could not meet the needs of people, and the steam train was too smoky, so the city railway was built underground. ”

"It's really unimaginable, there are so many cars that they are jammed with traffic, when will we be able to develop to that extent in China?" The schoolgirls are looking forward to it.

The man said disdainfully: "China? Hehe, it won't be possible for another hundred years. The officials only know about corruption, the soldiers only care about fighting all day long, and the people's fat and ointment are used for corruption and civil war, how can the national economy and people's livelihood develop? ”

The female student was silent, and finally said weakly: "As long as everyone contributes to the country, one day China can see 'Subway'." ”

Zhou Hexuan listened to the conversation between the young man and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. If he hadn't been a traverser, I'm afraid he would have witnessed the current situation of the Republic of China, and he wouldn't have seen a glimmer of hope for China's prosperity and strength.

The lights in the screening room went out, a beam of light shone on the big screen, and the Hollywood blockbuster "Red Dust" began to be screened.

There are two American "Red Dust" films, and the current one is the original version in 1932. The story takes place in a rubber plantation in Indochina, the male protagonist is a rubber plantation worker, and the female protagonist is his dissolute girlfriend. The supporting actress of a married husband falls in love with the male lead, and then pulls it back and forth and turns it into a messy four-corner relationship.

I have to say that Clark Gable was really handsome when he was young, not only with a handsome face, but also with a streamlined body of muscles that was enough to make a woman scream - worthy of being the future emperor of Hollywood movies.

The overall plot and rhythm of the movie are not bad, and you can watch it decades later, but the taste of lust is too strong, and Chinese audiences will inevitably feel embarrassed when they watch it.

Especially the heroine's actor Jane Haru, even if she doesn't take off her clothes and doesn't show her dots, she can make men drool secretly. This role was originally played by Garbo, but Garbo couldn't play that sexy and aggressive, and in the end he could only be replaced by a meat bullet beauty to show up.

Zhou Hexuan heard the female student next to him whisper: "It's so obscene, how can you show this kind of movie in public!" ”

The man was also a little embarrassed, but forcibly explained: "You don't want to be too feudal and traditional, you have long advocated emancipation of the mind, this kind of thing is nothing in the United States." ”

"What a shame!" The schoolgirl said this, but her eyes were fixed on Clark Gable on the screen, and the sweaty healthy muscles were so easy to make a woman's heart beat faster in the sun.

Zhou Hexuan didn't react at all, for a time-traveler who has been baptized by an island country action movie, this level of erotic movie can only be regarded as a pediatric, and any romance movie in later generations will be out of line with it.

By the time the film ended, the audience quickly poured out of the screening room, as if it would be heinous to stay a few more moments.

Zhou Hexuan asked Vivien Leigh with a smile: "What do you think of this movie?" ”

Vivien Leigh said: "It's not bad, it's just too vulgar, and it's definitely not popular to be screened in the UK." ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "This is the highest-grossing movie in the United States this year." ”

Vivien Leigh commented: "The actor's performance is very eye-catching, handsome and handsome, and his acting skills are good. ”

Zhou Hexuan almost laughed, the classic film "Gone with the Wind" in history, that is, Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh played the male and female protagonists together, and there were various scandals during the filming. However, the two don't like each other, Gable often ridicules Vivien Leigh as a woman with brain problems, Vivien Leigh deliberately eats garlic before filming the kiss scene in order to disgust Gable.

How romantic and classic is the kiss between Brad and Scarlett on the screen, but what the audience sees is an illusion. At the time of the shooting, Clark Gable must have been holding back the pungent smell of garlic, kissing a woman he hated extremely reluctantly, and had to pretend to be enjoyed.
