No.263 The Big Four
"When I was in my twenties, when I was still in Qu County, I was a projectionist at the cultural station, and this projector accompanied me for more than 20 years.
The old man smiled and reached out to touch the glass covers, like a lover.
"Projectionist, you're ...... old"
Wang Mingyuan gave the old man a thumbs up.
In those years, there were eight members and four members, but Wang Mingyuan felt that the four members were more appropriate.
The so-called four members refer to the driver, the hygienist, the projectionist and the conductor.
Regarding drivers, there is even a saying that "once the steering wheel turns, the county magistrate will not be replaced", which shows that this profession was expensive in those years.
The projectionist who can be ranked alongside the driver can't be underestimated, but if he goes to the countryside casually, he has to be the master of the various production teams and even the commune, eating and drinking.
Moreover, it doesn't matter if you want to ask a projectionist to go to the countryside to show a movie, it's an extremely difficult thing.
At that time, being able to mix up as a projectionist was definitely a beautiful and promising profession.
This gave Wang Mingyuan the idea of going to the countryside to show movies and experience the projectionist.
It's not that I want to make the hard-earned money squeezed out by the production teams through movies, but I want to use the way of movies to walk around, so that I can have the opportunity to get in touch with more good things hidden in the people, and it is also a good way to establish various personal relationships.
The matter of reselling all kinds of clothes and electronic products was handed over to Su Ying to be responsible, Wang Mingyuan also wanted to fiddle with medicinal materials, this is also an extremely profitable way, Yun Province is a major province for the production of medicinal materials, when the time comes, say hello to the captains of each production team, everything is not easy to capture!
Wang Mingyuan thought of this and immediately changed his mind: "I'll buy two." ”
One is put on the farm for everyone to see, and the other is placed in Zhangjiaao, so that the old and young in Zhangjiaao can see it on weekdays, and they can also take it around at any time, which is good.
But after thinking about it, in 80 years, except for a few places in the county town and commune, most of the production teams had not been electrified at all, so he immediately added: "It is better to have special power generation equipment for projectors, and give me a set." And those film films, find the classics, give me some ...... I also like these old objects, although I don't understand them, but in a few years, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to see. ”
You can't have an old-fashioned movie projector with a modern generator.
The package is more thorough, which can make people less suspicious.
The old man looked at Wang Mingyuan gratefully: "Okay...... That's for you! ”
The old man led Wang Mingyuan to a projector and said, "This is the Changjiang brand projector produced in Jinling, which is the most classic projector style, and it is the best preserved here...... It's the same one I used back then, and it happens to be fully equipped. ”
Then he pointed to another one: "It's a hand-cranked projector, it's older, it's in good condition, and it's a very good choice for collection." ”
"Hand crank...... Forget it, let's get me an electric one. ”
Wang Mingyuan immediately shook his head: "The best form is similar, and you can put the same kind of film film." ”
He didn't want to watch a movie, so standing next to the movie projector and shaking for more than an hour was definitely tiring.
Moreover, the film size used with various types of projectors is also different, and there must be a matching one.
"That's right. Then simply get two Yangtze River brand ones, both of which are 16 millimeters. As it happens, most of my videos here are also suitable for this machine. The old man nodded, and took out another obviously newer movie projector: "This is made in '86, a few years later than the one that was shown. ”
86 years?
It's a little late.
However, as soon as the movie is played, everyone's attention is on the movie screen, and who cares about this movie projector that doesn't seem to make much difference?
"Okay, that's it!" Wang Mingyuan nodded and agreed: "Pick me some more films." ”
The old man smiled, led Wang Mingyuan to the shelf where the film was placed, and said while extracting the film: "We will show movies, usually two times a night, and the first film is usually comedy or rural themes, such as the longest screening of "Two Sons Open a Shop", "Old Things in the South of the City", "People to Middle Age", "Red Sorghum", "Wrangler" and so on.
The second is a battle or martial arts theme, such as "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare", "Big Sword King V", "Shaolin Temple", ......
At that time, everyone was enthusiastic, it was called a lively, and they were reluctant to leave until midnight.
I really miss it, it's like now, let alone a village, even if you are at home, it is difficult to get people together for a Chinese New Year's Eve night...... Alas! ”
The old man counted the names of many movies, a large part of which were shot in the mid-to-late 80s, which obviously can't be used to screen in advance, and things can't be said.
You must know that when the projectionist goes to the countryside, the subject matter screened is also required by the cultural station, and it cannot be played casually.
For example, Red Sorghum, which was released in 87, and even Wrangler, which is often seen in short videos recently, was only released in 82, which is much earlier.
However, it does not hinder the classics of these films, Wang Mingyuan accepted them one by one, in these years, the Internet is so developed, the movies you want to watch can be easily found through your mobile phone.
Now that there are even projectors, it doesn't matter if there are more classic films like this, it's time to make a small collection.
In a few minutes, the old man, who was very familiar with the placement of these films, quickly took out more than 20 sets of iron boxes or films that were replaced with plastic boxes in the later stage for Wang Mingyuan, and seeing that it was almost over, Wang Mingyuan hurriedly said: "Find me some more films from 80 years or before." ”
He didn't want to get a bunch of videos that he couldn't take out.
Sure enough, a series of movies such as "Liu Sanjie", "Five Golden Flowers", "The White-Haired Girl" and so on have been turned out a lot, including many Hong Kong films such as the 72 version of "Ma Yongzhen".
After a few more minutes, more than 20 boxes of videos were taken out, and the old man asked, "Is it enough?" ”
Wang Mingyuan looked at a large pile of things in front of him and nodded: "It's almost!" ”
"Wait...... And one more! The old man was stunned for a moment, turned around and walked out of the room, and after a while, he took a tin box: "I was still watching it yesterday, but I almost forgot such a good film." ”
Seeing that the old man was so solemn, Wang Mingyuan also became interested: "What kind of film is it?" ”
"This is the movie "Lushan Love" that premiered in Lushan, Jiangxi Province in July 80, don't underestimate this film, it was popular all over the country, even now, there is still a theater called Lushan Love under Lushan, which has been playing this movie that has influenced a generation, and it has never been interrupted for decades, setting a Guinness record!"
The old man smiled: "Of course, you can see it on your mobile phone casually, and even the movie channels on TV have been broadcast from time to time in recent years." ”
"Is it so awesome?"
Wang Mingyuan was dumbfounded.
He didn't expect that he didn't know about this film, was it a bit outrageous.
"Of course...... In the context of the time, there were many bold breakthroughs in this movie, and it is not an exaggeration to even describe it as 'out of line', for example, physical contact such as young men and women holding hands in the world may be considered hooliganism at any time, but this movie is a bold young man and woman in love, with the first kiss on the screen, can you go out of line?
What's even more brilliant is that most of the people in the world are still cotton clothes and linen, and there are only more people in the city who wear really good clothes, but the heroine in the movie, it was a play, and she changed forty-three sets of clothes, such as jeans, bell bottoms, slingers, etc., those outfits, even if you look at them today, are not outdated at all, which directly led to a trend. ”
The old man said the truth, and Wang Mingyuan also listened carefully.
Kiss or not, he doesn't care, what really catches his attention is those outfits.
You can't just focus on those really good clothes, the price of this thing is not low, but the elimination is also fast, and when this movie is released, it is not that people's clothing will quickly come to a drastic change.
Yun Province is in the southwest border, a multi-ethnic settlement, the clothing is nationalized, and the clothing of the Han people is relatively conservative, but other big cities are different.
This seems like a big opportunity!
It seems that we have to study and study hard, go to Haicheng as soon as possible, and take the opportunity to get Han Xiaoling back, find Su Ying, and take care of the replacement of goods and hoarding.
