Ordinary life starting from a courtyard

Chapter 23: Chapter 23
Zhou Wenliang followed Secretary Tai to the big canteen, where the villagers eat big pot meals. There is a private room at the back of the canteen, which should be used by the village to entertain guests.

There is indeed a set of meals inside, a stewed chicken, stewed pork, scrambled eggs, a large pot of pimple soup, two bottles of beef, the richness is really rich.

Zhou Wenliang stared wide-eyed, and secretly said: "This village is nothing but, so there are so many good things to entertain him!"

"Secretary Tai, Captain Tai, this is expensive, so rich..."

Captain Tai: "Movie Zhou, you are welcome. If you come to our Dongtai team, you will come to your own home. If you are sorry, show us one more movie later, let us watch more."

"It's all right..." This request is not too much. When Zhou Wenliang came, he took two movies, knowing that he wanted to watch more movies.

At this time the village

There is no entertainment, the only entertainment is watching movies.

The task above is to show one more show. If you want to watch more, it depends on the strength of the village brigade. If the village is rich and entertains the projectionists well, you can watch one more show.

Look, this is not an unspoken rule.

And it's more than strength, the Dongtaizhuang brigade showed two movies, and the nearby Heiqiao Village showed one, which made Dongtai face.

However, basically there are two screenings, the first one is a mission, and the second one is just casual.

After Zhou Wenliang had eaten and drank enough, he became acquainted with the members of the village brigade.

The brigade secretary, director, accountant, and production team leader are all surnamed Tai, and the militia leader's surname is Du. He is quite a silent person.

The screening venue is the playground of Dongtai Primary School, where children from the five villages go to primary school.

When Zhou Wenliang arrived at the playground, he found that the playground was crowded with people, and the noise was endless.

This means that people from several surrounding villages have come here!
That's right, at this time, whenever I listen to a movie, no matter how far it is, I have to come to watch it, and I have to come in the dark, and I feel energetic after walking four or five miles.

There is a lack of entertainment in rural areas, and watching an open-air movie is a great enjoyment.

Now he still remembers watching movies when he was a child.At that time, he knew which villages were showing movies. After school, he ate the leftovers at noon. It was still dark, so he took a fan and walked seven or eight miles to watch movies, just to grab a good seat.

At that time, what I was most afraid of was that the projectionist said that the machine was broken and could not be played. He felt like the sky was falling.

Now that he has become a projectionist, he must not let the machine break down, otherwise everyone will be disappointed.

"Come on, give way, let the projectionist pass by, what do you think if he doesn't go by?" Tai Yongtian quarreled with the conductor who started the fire, a few fights.

The so-called playing field is to manage so many people on the scene to prevent everyone from being trampled and squeezed.

Generally, these people wear red marks on their arms and hold a long bamboo pole in their hands. There are also some people who fight in movie theaters, but there will be no more in later generations.

The four opened the way, Zhou Wenliang arrived at the bicycle, and the table was already set.

The projector is on the table, and there are two large wooden straight rods ten meters away from the table, with a shadow cloth hanging in the middle.

Zhou Wenliang checked it again and found that this group of people was quite capable, the generators were all connected, and the wires were pulled over.

The Dongtaizhuang brigade was powered on. However, at this time, the electricity in the countryside was intermittent. If there is a power outage, the power will be cut off. Therefore, the generator must be ready at all times, and the power will be generated immediately. The movie cannot be stopped.

While chatting with Secretary Tai, Zhou Wenliang fixed the projector.

When Secretary Tai and the village leaders went to sit in the special seats, Zhou Wenliang heard the sound.

"Come to the movie comrades, smoke a cigarette."

"Zhou Movie smokes me, my good..."

"My cigarettes are not bad either..."

The smoke was almost in Zhou Wenliang's mouth, and he quickly waved his hands and said politely, "Thank you, thank you everyone, no need, I don't smoke, everyone, sit down, the movie will start soon..."

It was so enthusiastic, the table was full of people, the playground was full, and even the back of the shadow cloth was full of people.

The man handed the cigarette, and the older girl and the younger daughter-in-law leaned forward to chat. Zhou Wenliang couldn't stand it. Fortunately, the projector was also fixed, and a strong light hit the film cloth, and the crowd cheered.

The strong light shines on the shadow cloth, various hand gestures are drawn in the light, and the hand gesture patterns are reflected on the shadow cloth, which is very joyful.

Zhou Wenliang put the film away, picked up the microphone, and tried the sound test: "Hey, everyone, stop arguing, let's start, let's show the news briefing first..."

The projections in rural areas are all 16, 8mm projectors, which are small and easy to carry, but the disadvantage is that the quality is very poor, and problems often occur, which requires the skills of the projectionists.

A briefing is just a slide show. Zhou Wenliang explained carefully, everyone is not noisy, as long as there is something to watch, it is interesting to watch the slides he drew, just like cartoons.

Speaking of drawing animation, he is a professional, after the briefing.

"Let's play the movie "Shangganling"..."

Papapa~ Before the words fell, there was a lot of applause. I have been waiting for "Shangganling" for a long time. Shili Baxiang came to watch this.

Zhou Wenliang quickly installed the copy. After the movie was shown, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the stool, picked up the mug and took a sip of water, smoothing his throat.

Not to mention, it's quite tiring.

There were quite a few older girls and younger daughters-in-law sitting next to them. Zhou Wenliang took a look. Most of the women wore headscarves and checked clothes that were darker or darker. The younger girls wore braids and most of the clothes were similar.

At this time, the clothes are quite monotonous, and both men and women are in this color, especially in rural areas.

However, several little girls were secretly looking at him. Zhou Wenliang looked over, and he turned his head to watch a movie inside, leaving him out of the corner of his eye.

Zhou Wenliang thought it was fun.

There are also bold ones who stare straight at him, talking about the little daughters-in-law with their children, so straightforward.

Zhou Wenliang was too embarrassed to look at them, for fear that the old men would think too much.

"Look, why does Zhou Xingfu always look at me..." A little daughter-in-law tugged at her companion.

Her companion is a little girl, not very old, about 16 years old, with two big braids, looked back quietly, and whispered: "Sister, people are not looking at you, they are looking at me."

"How is it possible, I feel that he has been staring at me, and my heart is beating out..."

Zhou Wenliang's face turned dark when he heard it. Let's watch a movie quickly. Shangganling is still good.

The movie was showing well, and suddenly there were large white spots on the film cloth, experienced people immediately stood up and shouted:

"Burn, burn, movie burn..."

"Burn the movie..."

Zhou Wenliang hurriedly stopped the machine, the film burned, and the projector emitted smoke. He picked up the microphone and explained: "Everyone, wait a minute, it will be ready in 2 minutes..."

2 minutes?Everyone was surprised.

Anyone who has watched a lot of movies knows that the film was burned for more than ten minutes and could not be replaced, how could it be possible in 2 minutes.

Zhou Wenliang took out the film, cut off the burned section, and glued it back with water.

It's quite simple to say, the middle process, only Zhou Wenliang's fingers are nimble and his eyes are good, and it takes 2 minutes to say 2 minutes.

When it was played again, the applause immediately rang out, and the cheers were even louder. Zhou Wenliang quickly waved his hand to signal everyone to continue watching.

After the first show was played, everyone didn't move, because they knew that the Dongtaizhuang team would definitely show two shows, so they sat down and waited honestly, and some people asked him what he was going to show.

Zhou Wenliang: "The filming of "Third Sister Liu" will be shown next..."

As soon as this was shown, someone shouted excitedly: "Okay~"

The children were even more excited, cheering and jumping up and down, the scene was full of excitement, and even the few players couldn't see it.

Zhou Wenliang: "Everyone, don't mess around, sit down and don't crowd..."
