Chapter 9 Let the ancients show a movie
Chai Rong's housekeeper was very punctual, and the morning food was delivered at about nine o'clock, after a night of adaptation, Xiwenshi was really unsuitable for the diet of the ancients except for meat, it was not delicious, basically it was cooked in clay pots, and there was a shortage of condiments, mainly salt. The war is like this, if you want to use an iron pot, any vegetable oil, peanut oil and other condiments are floating clouds.
Eating meat is as simple as roasting or stewing.
It's not delicious, as long as it's not too hungry, Xi Wenshi would rather be hungry. It's a bit of a thousand miles, and I think there should be pots and pans for the group's supplies on the truck.
Li Yu and the others didn't think it was unusual, the people who entered and left the city almost surrounded the big trucks, and the city was full of people, which made Xiwen Stone a bit like a flyover practice, so they almost asked for a reward.
It's not a problem to waste time. Since it is not the best policy to go to the city to find Guo Wei now, let's show off the guy brought by Xi Wenshi, the more famous the better, which will be somewhat beneficial to the later meeting. After all, there is no power to come and only sell the rich, the wealth here is not in ancient times, you don't have aragonite, I will show what, in short, it is new and peculiar, so that people who are addicted to it help the spread of aragonite.
Just do it, the power of the solar charging panel is definitely enough for a computer. Why don't you show a movie for the ancients? Let the brothers help Xi Wenshi move a desktop computer, and the discerning soldiers bring a set of tables and chairs from the city gate. The solar charging panel is connected to the power strip, and then several wires of the desktop are connected, connected to the projector, and a large curtain four meters long and three meters wide is moved, ready to be hung on the city wall. Later, in order to allow more people to see it, Xi Wenshi asked the soldiers to tie the three spears of the second group together and insert them in the ground to tie up the curtain, so that the people in front and behind the curtain could see it, and the people on the city wall could also see it. The whole open-air movie theater really makes Xi Wenshi miss the weekend open-air movie theater of college life, two yuan for a movie.
Here, Xi Wenshi didn't know whether to charge or not, so he asked Li Yu if he wanted to charge, and Li Yu said that there was nothing to do with everyone around here, so why should they charge. It was difficult for Xi Wenshi to popularize movies with them, so he said, "Do you charge for watching shadow puppetry?" ”
Zheng En interjected next to him: "Of course there is a fee, last month the landlord of our village, Li Laocai, celebrated his 60th birthday, so he ordered a shadow puppet show, and there was a charge for going in to watch it, and each person asked for five copper coins." ”
Li Yu Yile: "In this case, how about we charge two copper coins, what kind of shadow puppet show are you?" ”
Xi Wenshi muttered, it's really not good to tell them about the quality of movies and shadow puppet shows, you can only see the real chapter under your hands, and you can only know after watching it. They've basically never eaten pork or seen a pig run now.
Watching an open-air movie in the morning in broad daylight, fortunately it is the West Gate, there is no sunlight, even if the effect is poor, it is better than shadow puppetry.
As for what kind of movie to play, Xi Wenshi can't put a movie like "The Wandering Earth" that is too advanced, "Three Smiles" starring Chen Sisi has no scientific and technological elements, and it should also be in line with the aesthetics of the ancients. In the spring of 947, Xiwenshi showed the first movie of 947 to the audience at the West Gate of Yecheng.
"Three Smiles", the price of the movie ticket is two copper plates, no more, no less, the picture is fresh.
Western stone is to underestimate the ancient people's yearning for cultural life, their boring life on this day is like a long drought and rain.
As soon as the picture of the "Three Laughs" movie came out, Zheng En opened his voice and said that there were two copper plates per person at the beginning of the shadow puppet show, and he was frightened by the crowd that swarmed over, and for a while, the curtain was spontaneously full of people, and the people under the city couldn't grab the position, so they immediately ran to the city wall, and the people stood all over the city after a while, and the audience was quiet, except for the sound of the movie, no one spoke, staring at the curtain stupidly, eager to get in.
Xi Wenshi saw that there were too many people, and he was busy turning up the sound of the external stereo to the maximum. I secretly sighed that today's movie ticket money is gone, but I don't know who started and threw two copper plates into the curtain, which drove the moviegoers to rush to throw copper plates at the curtain.
Zheng En's eyes were straight, and he secretly stuck out his tongue: "My obedient, so many copper plates, can be worth a month's worth of oil sales." ”
That's the charm of art.
The movie was played for about half an hour, and the people standing couldn't stand it a little and began to sway from side to side, after all, most of the people had dishes on their faces, and the crowd watching the movie went into the city to sell food, so they spontaneously began to set up stalls and shout, and the spontaneous economy was formed.
Zhao Kuangyin and Zheng En began to fold the copper plates in front and back of the curtain, and it seemed that they could be rich men by simply playing the movie. There are a lot of desktop computers in Western Stone, which can allow dignitaries to watch movies at home, and the fees are beautiful when you think about it.
Unfortunately, there is not enough power.
To make money, you have to develop basic industries, at least electricity, diesel, Western stone can go to a broader stage, to develop the industry needs a large number of people. Recruiting people requires money, and it's a headache to think about.
There is still a long way to go.
In two hours, the movie "Three Laughs" said goodbye to this group of ancient people, there is no banquet that will not be dispersed, looking at their long-term reluctance to leave, Xi Wenshi stood on the front of the truck and announced loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, in order to celebrate our meeting here, in the next three days, you will play a movie in this place from the time of day, I hope you will watch it then." That's it for today, let's get busy. ”
turned off the slightly hot projector, and there were dozens of people gathered here to talk about it with relish. Among them, there are also two people from wealthy families who came forward and asked if they could arrange a screening at home, and the price was easy to say.
Please, Xi Wenshi didn't come here to be a movie projectionist and earn a little money to pass the time!
The western stone is pure, it is really in the process of the game, and it is just idle to pass the time.
A few galloping horses galloped from Yecheng, Chai Rong took the lead, followed by the housekeeper of Guo Mansion, hurriedly restrained the horse in front of Xi Wenshi, held the reins and hugged Xi Wenshi and said: "Third brother, my uncle is invited in the city." ”
is also said to be strange, such a big movement, it is strange that he is still calm, not to mention that Guo Wei yesterday looked a little restless.
Gotcha, go to Guo's Mansion to prepare a movie show.
Chai Rong arranged two teams of soldiers to defend the city to strictly guard the big truck of Xiwenshi, and no one was allowed to approach. After that, Xi Wenshi, Li Yu and others carried the guy who was playing the movie, and Xi Wenshi replaced the battery full of the solar charging panel and took it to Guo's mansion with everyone.
