Chapter 188 Congratulatory Message

In order to show the movie, the engineering department selected an empty slope in Bairen City a few weeks ago, dug out layers of steps along the slope, paved with bricks and stones, and installed wooden benches.It can seat about 400 people. If it is crowded, it can also seat 500 people.The screen is matched with the 16cm projector. In order to facilitate the receipt and receipt of the screen, a fixed screen frame is made.Considering the demand for long-term movie screenings, a movie projection room was specially built and wires were drawn.The sound source is a mobile speaker that is matched with the movie projector, and it is very convenient to install and retract.

Mei Wan purposely built a VIP seat directly opposite the screen, with overhanging rain eaves.In order to allow the cinema to be used for other purposes, a semicircular stage is built under the screen frame, which can also be used for meetings and performances when movies are not being shown.

Two hours before the movie started, countless heads had gathered in front of and behind the screen.Many people came directly from the cafeteria with their lunch boxes.The electric lights were not bright enough, so a few gas lamps were temporarily hung up, which illuminated everything brightly.Families are in pairs one by one, and those who have children are dragging their children.The cafeteria has set up a stall next to the cinema, offering free juice and betel nuts, which is the only food that can be used for entertainment here.It looks like a bustling and harmonious society.

When the music started in this newly built open-air cinema, the noisy human voices suddenly disappeared, and everyone waited in silence.The title of the film appeared on the screen:

"The Matrix".

Everyone is absolutely down, whether this is satire or entertainment.But even so, everyone still watched intently.When Keanu Reeves was playing cool on the screen, many "employees" living in Bairen City were also attracted by the shocking sound effects here, and quietly gathered here. "Movie", no one is willing to move their feet away, and some people rush back and call their wives and children to watch together.

As the news spread that the "chiefs" were watching an unprecedented "movie", the employees and family members who lived in Bairen Commune rushed over one after another.They dare not go inside and sit on the steps to watch, but the cinema is open, and they can see it clearly from the outside.

Luo Duo quietly ran to the VIP seat, besides Xiao Zishan, there were also Ma Qianju and some other members of the executive committee, while Wen Desi and other members of the executive committee were not present——according to the usual practice of protecting political leaders, it was Xiao Zishan who Ma Qianzhu and others watched the first half, and then it was Wen Desi and others' turn to watch the second half.Not all present at the same time.

"Committee Ma, there are quite a few employees and family members around the movie theater. Should we mobilize more militiamen to guard?"

Because Luo Duo was not very interested in watching movies, he volunteered to be today's guard duty officer of Bairen City.

Ma Qianzhu frowned: "No need, they are all here to watch the movie, so don't be so nervous."

"I'm afraid in case—"

"It doesn't matter, since they are employees, they should all be trustworthy people."

"That's good." Luo Duo was going out, Xiao Zishan stopped him: "There is no need to mobilize the militia, you prepare more No. 4 tear gas bombs for the militia on duty."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Luo Duo responded in a quick and straightforward tone that leaders like most, and he walked out when he saw that Ma Qianju had no objection.

On the screen, Carrie Ann Moss was flying in the air, and Ma Qianju said, "You are still so wary of these natives who are your own people, so what will happen to the localization process in the future."

"It's full of calculations, and the person who has served us the longest is only three months. There are not as many sources of information as in modern society to check their details. We have to be careful."

Ma Qianju sneered and laughed: "You're on guard, using pepper tear gas? It's worse."

"Talking is better than nothing." Xiao Zishan chuckled.

The aborigines who came to see the "movie" didn't think so much.The real moving images and scenery that appeared on the white cloth made them both surprised and curious: Westerners in long black clothes turned their bodies beautifully in the air, many huge and weird octopuses flew in the air, tall houses were densely packed like The woods in the mountains, and the speeding car with blue flames all over its body...all things have never been seen before, but they all seem real.All this made Mapon mesmerized.

Then there is the fear of the Demon Realm.There are dots of red lanterns on the giant towers, and there is a drowned person in each lantern. Monsters walk between the giant towers, and their long tentacles are waving under the black night sky.Ma Peng was trembling with fright, this is the Shura hell.

Although the effect is extremely shocking, the understanding of the ancients is not bad. They know that this is just a light and shadow effect, not real.Although from time to time some people wanted to go behind the screen to see what kind of team was performing such a realistic "shadow movie", but no one made crazy moves.

"Natives seem to be very excited to watch movies." Because Wu De knew that many members of the commune went to the cinema to watch movies, and was afraid of any problems, he also came to inspect and saw that they all had their mouths wide open. With a rapt look, he was a little surprised.

"Can they understand what this is?" Luo Duo was a little puzzled.

"Let's not talk about them, I don't even understand The Matrix." Wu De said, "But these indigenous people are just watching the fun."

"Yeah, they can't even understand Mandarin, so it's still Li Yapeng's Mandarin dubbing."

Luo Duo's unintentional words aroused Wu De's thoughts. From this point of view, the movie is very attractive to the locals.If movies are used as a medium to teach Putonghua, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?At present, the commune is led by Zhang Xingjiao, who hold evening classes every night to teach Putonghua, but the effect is not great. Most of the local laborers realize that if they want to get along well with the "shouchang", they have to learn the language of the "shouchang". After all, Hokkien and Cantonese are too different from Mandarin in the 21st century. Short words and sentences are okay, but barrier-free communication is difficult.

This idea is good, Wu De thought about it, what kind of movies should I show them?

Just thinking about it, Neo in the movie was saying his classic lines:

……

I can feel it.I know you're afraid, you're afraid of us; you're afraid of change

I don't know the future.

I didn't call to tell you it's over.

But to tell you that you have just begun.

……

After the lines were finished, the movie ended, because they knew there was more to come, and most people stretched their waists, waiting for the next movie.At this moment, Ding Ding quickly stepped onto the rostrum under the screen, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a greasy hair and pink face, and a springy face, as if preparing to attend someone's wedding.

"On this happy New Year's Eve, the publicity team of the Executive Committee and all the staff of Lingao Times wish you and your family happiness, all the best, and a happy Spring Festival." Holding the microphone, he said loudly:

"Now let's read a few congratulatory messages and letters—"

"The village committee of Baitu Village and the construction assistance unit sent a congratulatory letter: The villagers of Baitu are self-improving and determined to rebuild their homes with our hands. We live a good life, with fish and rice, and our relatives crossed the army and built new houses for us. "

Hearing the congratulatory message read aloud by Ding Ding's voice, Xiao Zishan couldn't help laughing: This time and space is quite magical.

"The officers and soldiers of the Navy's Bopu Marine Corps guarding Bopu—please rest assured, the people of the motherland, we will watch the sea with a hundredfold vigilance and always defend the crossing regime."

"My overseas dispatch station sent a congratulatory message—I wish everyone a happy holiday." Then four men with coded faces appeared on the screen, holding a banner with a brush on which several Big characters "Happy Chinese New Year".

"Soldiers on duty on the naval ship Fengcheng sent New Year greetings to all the people who traveled through the phone. I wish everyone a happy holiday and all the best!"

"The village committee of Yanchang Village sent a congratulatory letter—in the new year, I wish everyone good health and all the best. The villagers of Yanchang Village never forget the well diggers when they drink water, and follow the general line of crossing unswervingly, from victory to victory!"

Every time a sentence is read, the time-travelers will applaud, stomp and roar enthusiastically.It confuses the aborigines who are watching around, not knowing what the man on the stage is chanting, and makes the chiefs go crazy.

The final congratulatory letter was sent by the Hainan Women's Cooperative. Apart from wishing everyone a happy holiday, there was also news that a large number of betel nuts were available for purchase—this was Li Mei's first attempt to independently find sources of supply.

Ma Qianju sighed: "To be honest, it's a bit of a sham."

"Huh?" Xiao Zishan didn't react for a while.

"What I expect is that on New Year's Eve of a certain year, what I hear is a real transoceanic congratulatory message from America, from Malacca, from Africa, from Japan... from our colonies, overseas bases, trading posts and fleets. "Ma Qianzhu was suddenly moved when he said that, and actually choked up a little.

"There will be that day!" Xiao Zishan said confidently, infected by his ambition.

Just as he was talking, a strange "hissing" sound suddenly sounded outside. Looking up, he saw a green flame rushing straight into the night sky, followed by another red flame. The trajectory of the rocket, the crowd inside and outside the cinema, attracted by this unexpected program, let out "ah, ah" in admiration.

The rocket flew higher and higher, and instantly exploded in the night.

Like a giant thunder vibrating the sky, bright red and bright flames burst out in all directions and complement each other. This is a fireworks festival for travelers that people in this time and space have never seen before.The people on the ground couldn't help cheering and applauding.

Not only the entire Bairen City, but also the residents of the county town and Bopu witnessed this unprecedented spectacular scene on the ground of Lingao.Many residents who had fallen asleep ran out of the house to look at this rare diorama.

Lin Shenhe and his colleagues in the artillery team behind him did not cheer or applaud, but they were equally excited.The rocket was finally proven to be usable.

"How high is the effective shot?" Lin Shenhe asked

"The highest is 550 meters."

"Can it be practical?"

"Yes, but follow the instructions to shoot at a height of 2500 meters."

The real purpose of the gorgeous fireworks display was a test of the rocket that the artillery team had just prototyped.Of course, in order to match the atmosphere of New Year's Eve, some incendiary powder mixed with metal powder was added to the warhead.
