Ordinary life starting from a courtyard

Chapter 15: Chapter 15: The Movie Theater at Jiaodaokou (please collect, please recommend)
Zhou Wenliang quickly stood up from the stool, and said loudly: "Yes, I will definitely hone myself seriously and specialize in projection technology. I will never disappoint you and Mr. Xu's expectations, and I promise not to let you down."

Chief Zhu couldn't help laughing, and pointed at him: "You, don't flatter yourself, we don't like this kind of thing here. You just need to complete the tasks assigned by your superiors in the future."

"Guarantee to complete every screening task, and resolutely implement the superior..."

Zhou Wenliang wiped off his sweat, followed by a series of various audits. Fortunately, he has a strong mind, firm beliefs, and a suitable identity.

With the approved certificate, and with the establishment, he returned to the DC area, and now he has become an official projectionist.

The workplace is Jiaodaokou Cinema, which is close to home, so he chose this place specially.

Zhou Wenliang rode his bicycle to Jiaodaokou, parked the car at the entrance of the cinema, and looked up at the cinema facing south.

The cinema is a two-story building.The gray exterior walls and the edges of the rooms on both sides of the second floor are decorated with the common patterns of chariots and horses in the brick portraits of the Han Dynasty.

The whole building is simple and atmospheric.

In front of the theater is a small square paved with square bricks. From the north side of the square, you can climb up the steps and face a row of magnificent glass doors.

On both sides of the platform in front of the gate are ticket offices.

Jiaodaokou Cinema was built in 1953. In 1957, the grand "Asian Film Week" was held in Jiaodaokou Cinema.

Zhou Wenliang had been here before in his memory, but he seldom came here to watch movies, and usually went to Yuanen Temple.

To the west of Jiaodaokou South Road is the Yuanensi Theater in the Yuanensi Hutong.

Where movie tickets are cheap, movies are shown during the day, and theater troupes perform at night. Because the second round of movies is shown, the ticket price is cheap, and a ticket is only [-] cents.

Today is not like the later generations. At this time, entertainment is lacking, there is no TV, no computer, and watching movies is the most fashionable thing.

Zhou Wenliang lifted his foot and walked in. The audience lounge on the first floor of the theater was spacious and bright. There were large photos of the actors on the wall facing them, which was very eye-catching.

There are 22 stars of this era. Before the 60s, there were no movie stars selected in China. All the movie stars in Maoxiong Kingdom were listed in the theater. Later, Zhou Gong suggested that we can’t always hang pictures of other people’s movie stars. Can we be selected? Your own movie star?
Then the major studios assembled old, middle-aged and young actors in the film industry, combined with the starring roles of the blockbuster films of the year, to select the domestic movie stars at that time.

In the end, the first batch of florists was produced, and it can be said that it is the last batch of movie stars so far (because the new florists have only been selected once since the establishment of the new florists).

There are terrazzo stairs on the left and right sides of the rest hall leading to the upper floor.

Zhou Wenliang saw a staff member who looked like a staff member at the door, and asked, "Hello comrade, I am the projectionist assigned to us, my name is Zhou Wenliang, and I have just come to report, who should I contact? "

The staff suddenly said: "You are the projectionist of that week, right? I have been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come here, hurry up, go to the screening room."

Zhou Wenliang was stunned for a moment, and was dragged upstairs by this man.

"Comrade, what's going on, I haven't made it clear yet."

"Don't talk about it, you have to show the movie first, and the show will start right away."

Zhou Wenliang was dragged by him all the way to the projection room on the second floor in a hurry. There are two large Songhuajiang brand projection machines and one rewinder in the room, showing 35mm full-size film movies.

"Projectionist Zhou, prepare first. The first movie screening time is coming soon. Today's screening is "Honghu Red Guard", don't miss it." The staff pointed to several iron boxes on the table.

Zhou Wenliang glanced at his watch, it was ten o'clock soon, and through the two small windows on the wall, he saw that there were more people in the cinema hall.

Although I felt strange in my heart, I still quickly opened the iron box, opened it and took out the copy. This film copy has 12 discs of film, so I quickly loaded copy 1 and adjusted it.

When the time came to ten o'clock, the movie hall was already full of people. Seeing that the movie was not shown, some people in the auditorium were blown up.

"Set it up and start soon, don't wait." The middle-aged man wiped his sweat, urged anxiously, then turned off the lights in the theater, and looked at the excited audience outside through the small window.

Zhou Wenliang didn't talk nonsense, he directly pressed the start button, the projector shot out, and shot it on the screen through the small window.

As soon as the music started, there was a news briefing first, which was similar to the subsequent news broadcasts, such as various national events. After the news briefing was played, the title of the classic Beijing movie appeared on the screen, and the audience immediately fell silent.

"Honghu Red Guards" is an opera war film, and it is also a rare classic. He has seen it in his previous life, and he is still very moved when he watches it again. Now he still hums a few words:
Flood lake water, waves beating waves,
The fisherman's song is full of gusts and thunder.

Prestige is still the same as before,
Thousands of troops are invincible!
What a classic, I can still remember a few lines of the lyrics of the movie I watched in my previous life.

Not to mention anything else, being a projectionist is pretty good, at least you can watch movies every day to pass the boring time.

While watching the movie, Zhou Wenliang asked the middle-aged man next to him, "Boss, what's going on? We don't have any projectionists here?"

"Oh, don't mention it, we have two projectionists at the intersection, one has a mission and went to the country commune to show a movie, and the other has a problem with his grandma today, and he hasn't come yet, our station master is so angry .”

The middle-aged man was dissatisfied at first, then looked at Zhou Wenliang, and said with a smile, "Projectionist Zhou, you are very skilled. If you hadn't come here in time today, all of us at Jiaodaokou Cinema would have been criticized."

Zhou Wenliang couldn't help laughing, took out a cigarette and handed him a cigarette, "No, no, even if I don't come, there is still you."

The middle-aged man took the Peony cigarette, glanced at it, and joked with a smile: "I can't do it with the projectionist."

"Haven't asked for advice yet?"

"Hey, I'm busy. I'm Zhang Haifeng, the manager of this movie theater. From now on, either Lao Zhang or Manager Zhang will do."

Zhou Wenliang quickly shook hands with him: "Hello, Manager Zhang, please give me your advice in the future."

Zhang Haifeng waved his hand and nodded amusedly: "You are welcome, projectionist Zhou. From now on, if you don't understand anything here, just ask me directly. You don't have to be polite with me."

"By the way, you haven't gone through the entry procedures yet, come follow me to the financial office to register and grade, and your salary will be paid from here in the future."

Zhang Haifeng walked out after finishing speaking.Zhou Wenliang glanced at the working projector. A reel of film was almost finished showing, and no one was watching. After a while, the audience outside was blown up again.

Seeing that he didn't come, Zhang Haifeng went back to the door to take a look in, and patted his forehead: "Hey, look at my memory, you finish the movie first, and then go to register at noon or afternoon.

Comrade Zhou is good, he has a strong sense of responsibility. Here we should be more responsible like you. Look at this Li Jianbo. He is not serious about his work. He hasn’t come here yet. He is absolutely lawless. Reflect on his situation..."

Seeing Zhang Haifeng leave indignantly, Zhou Wenliang smiled, sat on the chair, leaned back, and watched the movie.

At the same time thinking in my heart,

He felt that this Li Jianbo had a lot of background, otherwise Zhang Haifeng would be so angry, and there was nothing he could do about it. The screening of a movie was such a big deal, and he wouldn’t come if he couldn’t say it. How many games, it is recorded above, the film is both a screening and a promotion.
