Wu Xinli, one of the four aunts in Xiashan Commune, was in the non-staple food section. She knew she was the aunt, but Zhong Zhenjun couldn't get around it, so he had to tell her that he wanted to buy biscuits.

Wu Xinli recognized him as the projectionist of the commune, because when a movie was shown, the projectionist was the only soul in the room.

At dusk, the curtains had just been hung up, and it was still early before the show time. Many children didn't even bother to eat dinner, so they rushed to occupy the space.

The best location is right next to the projector.

Because the projectionist is the supreme being in everyone's eyes and everyone looks up to him, then sitting next to the projectionist is an extremely glorious and proud thing.

When watching a movie at night, the most exciting thing may not be the story in the movie, but the time between movies.

The length of a general movie is basically divided into four pieces, that is, four reels of film.

When one plate is finished, it needs to be replaced with the next plate.

When changing the film, the lens was turned off. At this time, there was no picture on the screen. The electric light on the projector immediately turned on, and the projectionist was skillfully changing the film.

At this moment, in this screening venue shrouded in the deep darkness of night, the eyes of hundreds or thousands of people were all focused on the only bright spot in the center of the venue.

On this projectionist.

I saw that he took out the empty film tray and took the place of the full tray below.

Then take out the next full film tray, put it in the highest position, pull out the film, go through a series of complicated paths, bypass the lens, and finally connect to the empty tray below.

When you twist any button, the projector will make a slight clicking sound and start running, indicating that the movie story is about to continue.

This process of changing films was once the ultimate dream of countless rural teenagers, who dreamed that one day they would be the center of attention when the lights turned on.

At that time, Wu Xinli saw the projectionist's handsome face under the bright electric lights.

Maybe it's like a man's ultimate dream is to be an emperor, and a woman's highest dream is to be a queen.

Wu Xinli did not have the ultimate dream of being a projectionist, but after seeing that handsome projectionist, she had the ultimate dream in life.

So when Zhong Zhenjun had the courage to buy biscuits, the lady not only did not show off her face to him, but her attitude was quite enthusiastic.

This made Zhong Zhenjun, who was mentally prepared for a fight, feel a little flattered.

Aunt Wu not only enthusiastically introduced various biscuits to him, but also took the trouble to pick them out one by one for him to compare and choose.

After the transaction was completed, he told Projectionist Zhong that if he needed anything in the future or wanted to buy something he couldn't buy, he could come to her.

Zhong Zhenjun must have many things he wanted to buy, but couldn't because he didn't have a ticket.

But he met Aunt Wu by chance, how dare he really come to her and use the back door.

Later, one time, Zhong Zhenjun went to the county town and happened to meet Wu Xinli in the movie theater.

Wu Xinli likes to visit the county town, go shopping in shopping malls for clothes and goodies like cream, and also likes to go to the cinema to watch movies.

Watching the same movie outdoors and in a cinema are two completely different experiences.

Wu Xinli's experience is that a good movie is ruined if it is shown outdoors.

In the winter, it’s freezing to death. It’s often late at night after watching a movie, and people almost turn into popsicles.

It’s so hot in the summer that you’ll be smelled to death even if you’re covered in stinky sweat.

The live playback effect is also much different from that in a movie theater.

Only by bringing delicious food and drinks, sitting comfortably in a soft chair in the cinema, and calmly feeling the shock of the movie story can you enjoy it.

Wu Xinli happened to see Zhong Zhenjun that day before she bought a ticket.

I didn't bother buying tickets, so I quickly went up to say hello to him.

Zhong Zhenjun also had a deep impression of this lady.

And seeing her preparing to go to the ticket window, he asked her: "You haven't bought a ticket yet, have you?"

"..." Wu Xinli's heart beat wildly.

She thought Zhong Zhenjun was going to buy a ticket for her.

Zhong Zhenjun smiled: "Come in with me."

Taking her to the entrance of the screening room, he took out a work ID card and introduced Wu Xinli as being with him.

The staff let them in.

Wu Xinli didn't understand either. She didn't know what kind of certificate he took out and why it was so easy to use.

But she knew that she was so excited that she almost fainted.

This is too happy.

She has become a licking dog, and she will follow wherever Zhong Zhenjun goes.

She sat on the seat next to him regardless.

After sitting down, I saw Zhong Zhenjun was a little embarrassed, so I asked him what certificate he took out at the door.

"That's my Film Work Permit." Zhong Zhenjun told her:

"Our projection team is in a similar situation to your supply and marketing cooperative.

Your supply and marketing cooperative is managed in sections. From a business perspective, the provincial supply and marketing cooperative pulls the supply and marketing cooperatives down to the next level in counties, towns, and towns.

However, in terms of personnel and finance, management is divided into blocks, and governments at all levels are responsible for the supply and marketing cooperatives in their respective jurisdictions.

The same is true for our film team. In terms of personnel and finance, it is directly managed by the commune.

In terms of business technology and copy supply, they are managed by the county's film company.

We are both members of the commune and members of the film company. This cinema is our own, so we don’t have to spend money to watch the movie.

Do you think we are like bats? When we see animals, we show our teeth and say we are the same kind. When we see birds, we flash our wings and say I am a bird too."

These words made Wu Xinli giggle.

She found that Zhong Zhenjun was not only handsome, but also humorous and well-spoken.

At the same time, he expressed great envy that the projectionist could enter and exit the cinema at will, as the cinema was run by his own home.

It's not that she can't afford the money to buy movie tickets. The key is that the movie theater feels like her own home. It's exciting to think about it.

Now I was even more determined and vowed not to marry anyone but this person in my life.

If I can't get it, I would rather be a nun for the rest of my life than marry anyone else.

With supreme admiration, Wu Xinli couldn't help but ask: "How did you get to be a projectionist with such a good job?"

“The first step, of course, is to be selected from the commune, and the minimum requirement is a high school diploma.

Then he went to a training school in the province to study for half a year.

The exam was simply too strict, and less than half of those who participated in the training failed to pass.

Qualified students will be issued a "Film Work Certificate", "Technical Level Certificate", and "Film Projection Unit Registration Certificate" by the Provincial Department of Culture.

Finally, when I return to the commune, I will be a qualified projectionist."

Wu Xinli couldn't help but admired sincerely: "This is really difficult. It seems that you are very talented. I admire talented people the most!"

Then she suddenly exclaimed excitedly: "I finally remembered who you are. No wonder I thought you looked familiar the first time I saw you?"

"..." Zhong Zhenjun expressed confusion.

"You are exactly the same as Liu Xiaochen. Oh my god, the more I look at them, the more they look like me!"

Who doesn't want to be praised and told that you look like a movie star, and Zhong Zhenjun is certainly not immune to this.

He could see that Wu Xinli was not flattering him hypocritically, but admired him from the bottom of her heart.

Moreover, Wu Xinli is not the first person to say that he looks like Liu Xiaochen. Many people who have watched "The Guns of the Security Bureau" have said this to him.

However, in order to show his modesty, he said with a slight trepidation: "We don't dare to look like others. Even someone in the film company said that I look like Gao Fengchun."

"Isn't that the same person!" Wu Xinli said emotionally, "Liu Xiaochen and Gao Fengchun were both played by Chen Shaoze!"

"Oh? Have you watched "Baptism of Blood and Fire" too?" Zhong Zhenjun asked in surprise.

After all, "Gunshots of the Secret Service" was a movie that caused a sensation across the country.

As for "Baptism of Blood and Fire", the response to the vast majority of audiences in this era who like to watch lively movies is not great.

"I'm a movie fan. I haven't seen any movies." Wu Xinli said, "Chen Shaoze is my idol, especially the movies he starred in. I was most impressed."

As she spoke, Wu Xinli gestured with a pistol with her right hand and pointed it at Zhong Zhenjun: "On behalf of the people, I sentence you to death, bang!"

As she spoke, the image of Liu Xiaochen, a heroic and free-spirited major adjutant, appeared in her mind.

At this moment, the idol that I have been dreaming about is right in front of me.

Moreover, he speaks with such humor and talent.

Wu Xinli was extremely happy.

Zhong Zhenjun also felt the great satisfaction of being admired by others.

Especially the "aunt" who is famous throughout the commune. I didn't expect that she would have such a lively and cheerful side.

It's like having a vicious dog at home. In fact, it is only evil to outsiders, not to mention how affectionate and loyal it is to its owner.
