Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 765 Movie projectionist

In that era of extreme material scarcity, open-air movies were the main activity of rural cultural entertainment.

At that time, as long as there was a happy event in that village, such as building a new house, getting married, celebrating three dynasties (full moon wine) or celebrating birthdays, no matter how far away, as long as someone came to invite them, the movie player would show the movie.

At this time, the village will send two people early to help the movie player with the projector and speakers.If you encounter a village without electricity, you have to bring a generator and diesel.Inside the projector are two flat iron boxes with the name of the film written on them.

The paint on some characters has lost its color and is blurred.Since my home is far away from the county seat, every time the film broadcaster goes to the film company to pick up eight or nine films, he can take turns to show more villages.

At that time, as long as the folks heard that a village would show a movie at night, no matter how tired they were from working during the day, men, women and children would gather here.They ate dinner early and brought the crops that were drying in the courtyard to the house. Adults and children traveled ten miles and eight villages to see them, and some had to walk for more than two hours at night.At that time, watching movies became the favorite thing for many parents and folks.

After the movie player arrives at the owner's house, after dinner, he chats with the people in the village a few times, and then prepares to show the movie.First of all, I ordered a few young and strong guys to hang up the movie curtain. There are [-]cm round holes inlaid with aluminum around the curtain. This design is to facilitate the insertion of ropes and enhance the stability of the curtain.

The host took two bamboo or wood seven or eight meters long and the size of an adult's arm to hang up the curtain. The bamboos were tied to both ends of the curtain, and then tied with ropes, and they went out from opposite directions. Pull, so that the four corners and eight different directions fix the curtain firmly there, and it does not move at all.

After the movie screen was hung up, the movie player took the projector and put it on the Eight Immortals table to start testing the machine and adjusting the mirror.

At this time, nearby villagers gradually came from their respective villages.The earliest ones came from this village, and there was a feeling of getting the moon first.

There are grandparents leading grandchildren, women holding infants, older brothers and younger siblings, some carrying a few benches, some holding a few bundles of straw, some holding stones, and some Those with flashlights, some with torches, and some with lanterns, all in groups of three or four.

The small hills, trees, roofs, corridors, windows, and roadsides near the grain drying ground were crowded with people.The vantage points near the screen and the projector belong to the village and the guests, followed by the neighboring village, and finally the distant village.

Some of them were standing, some were holding bricks, some simply took off a shoe sole under their buttocks, and some were holding a few planks...

Those who came late at the back had to stand, some were blocked by the children riding on the necks of the horses in front, and some simply walked to the opposite side of the screen, and all kinds of voices were mixed together.Walking to the opposite side of the screen, various voices mixed together.

At this time, the courtyard of Li You's house has a feeling of being in that era. The "Journey to the West" played on the screen really attracted everyone's attention at this time. If this time ends, Li You believes that , It will definitely cause these little guys to riot.

The 86 edition of Journey to the West is really a wonderful childhood memory of many post-80s and post-90s generations. It was even more popular at the time and caused a national sensation. It sparked a wave of Journey to the West in China and later all over the world.

Although the 86 version of Journey to the West seems to have rough picture quality and [-] cents special effects, it is still a classic in everyone's minds. Even other current versions with high-definition picture quality and high-end special effects cannot be used left a deep impression on people's minds.

What makes Li You feel that this system is good is that the Journey to the West bought by this system has changed the font to traditional characters. I have heard the book.

But now I can actually see it. This kind of shock is really too great. Watching the first episode of the monkey king on the screen, the special effects that are less than [-] cents, and the characters in the Tiangong, all the children, all The adults all exclaimed, watching Monkey King running by the sea, watching Clairvoyance and Wind Ear in the Heavenly Palace.

It's really too lingering.

Soon they arrived at the Water Curtain Cave, followed by monkeys learning skills, and finally at the end of the first episode, they were kicked out of the Seven Stars Temple by the ancestor Bodhi. When the music sounded, Li You said with a smile: "Okay, today is over. !"

"what.?"

Li You's sentence was over, and Li Mingda immediately jumped up: "Fifth brother, how long has it been, there must be more later, I want to see Monkey King return to Huaguo Mountain, and I want to see Monkey King make trouble in the Heavenly Palace! "

"Yes, father, Heng'er also wants to see it." Li Heng also said hastily.

Following the others also showed a pleading look, and even Di Renjie couldn't stop.

It's just that Li You won't soften his heart, so he shook his head slightly and said, "Hey, I've already said, one episode a day, today's first episode is over, if you want to watch it, you have to wait until tomorrow.

Okay, okay, let's go! "

"No. I must watch another episode today." Li Mingda hugged Li You directly, not allowing Li You to leave, and then shouted to Li Zhi behind him: "Ninth brother, you are the emperor, this Tang Dynasty you It’s the best thing to say, you quickly order Brother Wu to play another episode!”

"Ah, fifth brother, can you show another episode? I really want to watch it too. You scared me today. Can you give me a face? Look, my nephews and nieces are all watching. "

Li Zhi quickly showed a pitiful expression, and kept staring at Li You.

Looking at the earnest faces around him, Li You was also a little speechless, because there are only 25 episodes of Journey to the West, which is really too expensive, if they are all played at once, it will be over.

So Li You wants to save a little bit, but now everyone wants to see this situation, and the emperor has spoken, this face must be given, so Li You thought for a while and looked at Li Zhidao: "You are the emperor, you I will give it to you, but you are not joking, what you said, you can only show one more episode, what if some people still use rogue methods after one episode is finished?"

Li Zhi was very smart, he directly pulled away Li Mingda who was hugging Li You and said, "I will ensure the safety of Fifth Brother, okay, please continue to play Fifth Brother!"

Li You could only say 'hmm', watching Li You continue to play, everyone present cheered and shouted in unison: "Long live Your Majesty...!"

"Hehe. Hehe!" Li Zhi was really happy. Hearing the voice of shouting long live, it felt very interesting.
