Chapter 148 Liu Sanjie Lu Guofu began to prepare for the preliminary work of showing the movie, brewing and brewing. In order to ensure the quality of the movie screening, he did not drink any alcohol. If it were somewhere else, he would have to drink a little, but this time Zhou Yimin asked him for help, so in order to get closer to him, he had to endure it. I don't know how many times I have to repeat this set of movements, so even if no one helps, it won't take long. As all the preparations were completed, the villagers began to take their seats in an orderly manner. As there were enough seats, there was no scrambling for seats, which could have caused bad things to happen. You have to know that at this time in the country, for the general public, there seems to be nothing more exciting than watching an open-air movie. In this era, people spent almost all their time working and taking care of their families, and their entertainment life was very scarce. Therefore, for them, being able to watch a lively open-air movie on a summer night was nothing more than a luxurious pastime. So the fight for position happens from time to time. However, this time it was the projectionist invited by Zhou Yimin, so the people in Zhoujiazhuang did not dare to act rudely, and everyone tacitly chose not to sit in the front rows. Zhou Yimin and his family walked to the first row and sat down directly.
Following closely behind were other elderly people and children. When Lu Guofu saw that everyone was present, he started playing the movie. Grandma asked, "Yimin, is the movie playing today "The Battle of Shangganling" or "The Railway Guerrillas"? In rural areas, the films people can watch are very limited, but no matter how many times they watch them, their interest in them only grows. Whenever there is an exciting moment, cheers and applause will ring out on time. For some overly familiar films, people will even say the second half of the lines in unison. Everyone enjoys this. Sometimes there are even too many people watching from the front, so some people run to the back to watch. The characters and subtitles are reversed, which makes it a bit difficult to read, but because it’s new and exciting, they don’t care too much. "Grandma, this time we're playing "The Battle of South and North", have you seen it?" Zhou Yimin said. This movie is also a relatively old one, but there are not many movies available in rural areas, so there are basically no choices. The movie "The Battle of South and North" tells the story of how, in the early days of the War of Liberation, the People's Liberation Army, under the situation that the enemy was strong and we were weak, correctly applied the great man's strategic thinking of mobile warfare to destroy the enemy and win the victory on the battlefield in East China. This type of movie is in line with the current main theme and is also the most popular at the moment. Most importantly, ordinary people also like to watch it. The old lady smiled and nodded: "I have seen it! It is a very good movie." It is normal to have seen it, after all, the film "The Battle of South and North" was released in 1952, and it has been released for seven or eight years. In 1974, the film will be remade again. Although the three little ones usually can’t sit still, but now they are ready to watch a movie, they sit like a piece of wood, not moving at all. It seems that the movie is still very attractive! The old Party Secretary said, "Yimin, you are so famous. We in Zhoujiazhuang have also tried to apply for it before, but we were unsuccessful every time. If we want to watch a movie, we can only go to the commune." There are not many projectionists, so for a small village, it is extremely difficult to apply to screen movies, unless you have made some outstanding contributions. "You still have to give them face." Zhou Yimin said with a smile. Not only people from Zhoujiazhuang, but most of the villagers from Shangshui Village also came. No one knew how the news spread. The people in Shangshui Village were shocked! Zhoujiazhuang even invited a projectionist, which shows their extraordinary ability.
But when they heard that the projectionist worked at the steel plant, they felt relieved. Zhoujiazhuang had a buyer from the steel mill who was close to the projectionist, so it was not surprising that they could invite him to show movies. They had to sigh that it was indeed "easy to get things done if you have someone in the government"! It was also easy to get things done if you have someone in the steel mill. Such a big factory really had everything. Moreover, when they heard that Zhoujiazhuang would show the film once a month in the future, they almost thought it was bragging. But soon the projectionist confirmed it, and the people of Shangshui Village were stunned. If you do things this way, your Zhoujiazhuang will be better than the Red Star Commune! You know, even the Red Star Commune couldn't afford to hire a projectionist to show movies once a month. This is simply amazing. Unfortunately, no one from their village worked in the steel plant. Or, it was a pity that Zhou Yimin was not from their village. Since there was a movie to watch, Luo Dapeng and Li Youde naturally didn't leave. The movie was exciting, the gunfight was intense, and the ending was touching. Our country, our party, and our army achieved a great victory, and everyone was happy. "The Battle of South and North" is over, and we will take a half-hour break so that everyone can go to the bathroom if they need to. The villagers of Shangshui Village couldn't help but suggest to their village chief Wang: "Village chief, why don't we try to invite that projectionist to show movies in our village?" Village chief Wang glanced at the people in his village. "What will you give me?" When this question was asked, the man suddenly didn't know what to say. Yes! What can I get? Now people in Shangshui Village can barely get enough to eat, and the food is not very good, there is not much to offer. We can't let the projectionist contribute for free, right? "Besides, the projectionist must have agreed to it out of respect for Zhou Yimin. Does our village have such a big face?" Village Chief Wang told them another fact. If everyone thinks about it carefully, they will feel that it is right and makes sense. The idea of inviting a projectionist to show movies in their village was instantly ruined. The second movie surprised Zhou Yimin greatly. "Liu Sanjie" In his previous life, Zhou Yimin had also watched "Liu Sanjie". Was it released at that time? The film mainly tells the story of how Liu Sanjie used folk songs to resist the rich man Mo Huairen. Liu Sanjie loved to sing folk songs, and she always sang out the inner thoughts of the poor, so she was framed by the landlord. She had nowhere to live, so she drifted on the Li River and was taken in by an old fisherman and his son Aniu. When the villagers heard that Sanjie Liu had arrived, they all rushed to meet her. Sanjie Liu's brother Liu Er also found his long-lost sister. When the landlord Mo Huairen heard that Sanjie Liu was gathering to sing again, he failed to bribe her, so he wanted to subdue Sanjie Liu by singing and stop her from singing again... Lu Guofu told Zhou Yimin that this was a movie that was only released this year and it would be difficult for ordinary projectionists to get a copy of the film. It's true that the villagers of Zhoujiazhuang found this movie novel, especially the folk songs, which were so interesting. Some people wanted to hum along, but the accents were different, so it was still a little off. Because it is a new film, everyone enjoyed watching it. The movie lasted until about 11 o'clock in the evening, and Lu Guofu stayed in the village overnight.
