Mine Warfare, Tunnel Warfare and War in the South and North, these three movies were Chen Jinnian’s favorites when he was a kid, and he couldn’t get enough of them.
This movie was released in December last year. Although it has been released for almost a year, very few people in the studio have seen it.
Mainly because it costs money to go to the cinema and the number of screenings is relatively small, which directly affects the number of moviegoers.
In this era, film copies were expensive and scarce. There were not many recorded copies of a film, and after they were distributed to each province, there were even fewer copies.
Therefore, they need to be rotated between cities and urban areas.
After each district receives a set of copies, cinemas of all sizes in that district must arrange the number of shows reasonably.
After a movie theater has shown a copy, it must immediately send the copy to the next movie theater waiting to open, and so on. This also led to the initial job of the projectionist apprentice - riding a bicycle to run the movie.
So during the screening of a movie, if you see a young man or young woman riding a bicycle crazily with an iron box on the street, that is not a robbery, but a robbery.
"squeak!"
A burly man held the brake tightly, and a 28-weighted bicycle screamed shrilly under the load, moved several meters away, and finally stopped not far from Liu Guanggeng and Chen Jingnian.
Chen Jinnian turned around to protect his master and kept his eyes fixed on the person coming.
"It's your second senior brother!"
Liu Guanggeng walked out from behind Chen Jinnian with a smile and cursed at the sturdy man: "Why don't you put on two wings? How many times have I told you not to ride so fast!"
"Master, aren't you afraid of delaying your business?"
The tall and sturdy man said in an angry voice.
Chen Jinnian's ears trembled, and he looked at the wires with his eyes. He suspected that the second senior brother had stepped on the wires of the loudspeaker.
"It's not like we're on a rush."
After Liu Guanggeng finished speaking, he waved and said: "Come here and meet your junior brother. Day by day, I don't have to worry about you."
"Jingnian, this is your second senior brother, Qi Guohua."
"Guohua, this is your junior brother Chen Jingnian."
Liu Guanggeng stood between the two apprentices, feeling very relieved, and his tone was particularly satisfying when he spoke.
"Brother, please call me Ax!"
"ah?"
"My nickname is Little Axe!"
"Ah! My nickname is Erzhuang! I also have a brother named Dazhuang, and my sister..."
"Okay, Guohua, please put down the copy first. You and your senior brothers will talk to you later."
Liu Guanggeng wiped his face and let out a long breath.
"Why!"
Qi Guohua carefully took out a tin box from his back and placed it firmly on the stool in front of the projector.
"Jingnian, come here, let your senior brother have a look!"
Liu Guanggeng raised his hand and pointed at the machine and said proudly.
"well!"
Chen Jingnian opened the box and found copy number 01 inside.
First, I checked the image orientation of the film, and then according to the operating procedures, I quickly pressed the film onto the Yangtze River 200 projector.
"One hand? So fast! Oh, that's not right. Master, please teach us to use our thumb and index finger to hold the title of the film!"
"I also taught you to ride slower!"
Liu Guanggeng said angrily, and then whispered: "Your junior brother's right hand is injured and he can only use one hand, so he can't follow the old rules."
"Who was hurt!"
Qi Guohua's voice exploded, as if coming from a soul-crushing bell.
Liu Guanggeng repeatedly waved his hands to the comrades and family members who were looking around, turned around and said, "Please keep your voice down. Your wife and I are deaf, and it has a lot to do with you."
"It's not easy for me to have a junior brother here..."
"It's not easy for you to have a master!!!"
Liu Guanggeng stepped forward and punched Qi Guohua's arm. There was really nothing he could do because he could only reach this area.
"You are injured too!"
"Okay, you can find a place to sit. If I talk to you once, I can retire half a year early."
Faced with his apprentice's unrestrained words, Liu Guanggeng raised his fist and gestured. He felt that there was really no place to start, so he could only turn around and said: "Jingnian, no problem! Let's get started."
Chen Jinnian smiled and reached out to turn the switch.
The projector's indicator light came on twice before the machine started running.
After a moment of trance, a burst of light spots of alternating light and dark appeared on the curtain, and then a clear female voice sounded, starting to promote fire safety.
At this time, before every movie starts, a promotional video will be played, either to popularize the law, to prevent epidemics, or to talk about production safety, etc.
At the same time, this time is also the last opportunity for the projectionist to debug the machine.
"Guohua, tell your senior brother that next weekend, you two will come to my house for dinner, and I will ask your junior brother to come too."
Seeing that everything was the same, Liu Guanggeng walked to his second apprentice again and said.
"Master, you are biased. I helped you carry generators and gasoline barrels at that time. I worked for three years before you let me see your master wife."
Qi Guohua opened his two round eyes the size of bells, looked hard at his junior brother who was playing a movie, and said dissatisfiedly.
"Oh, boy! You and the master are asking for trouble, right? I can accept you, but you still say that I am partial! I am not partial to accepting you, but I am careless! Who can eat up half a month's rations of mine in one meal?
Who frightened the horse and threw me into the ditch; who lifted the generator and smashed my foot!"
"Master, I can't hide my words. Anyway, I remember that I was about to point my finger at the title of the film, so you whipped me!"
"Guohua, one of your fingers is as thick as a radish in a cave, and you still criticize the title of the film! You don't know how strong you are! You just pushed the title of the film with your fingertips, and the title of the film broke."
"The title sequence is already crispy."
"Guohua, think about it, nothing is fragile under your hands! When you brought me back water, you either broke the bucket or smashed the water tank. In the end, I didn't dare to let you use the wooden bucket. You took the fire
The bucket actually caused a leak in my fellow villager's well."
"Yes, but my junior brother's gestures are not good-looking, he looks like a Buddha!"
"Shut up! Your senior brother also said this."
…
Chen Jinnian played the movie and looked at the familiar scenes.
In fact, playing a movie is really easy, just like putting a tape into a tape recorder. The only difference is that you have to pass the film through various parts of the machine by hand, and you have to always pay attention to the operating condition of the machine.
When the promotional credits were played, amidst a burst of exciting music, the movie Mine War finally began.
Chen Jinnian put his hand near the film bin for a while, sensing the temperature emitted by the light bulb in the film bin. Then he followed the method taught by his master and held the film virtually to check if there was any abnormality.
The words of the second senior brother fell into his ears intermittently. Even when he heard the words "Buddha", he was not angry. Instead, he just wanted to laugh.
When Chen Jingnian saw Qi Guohua for the first time, he even had the illusion that the person in front of him was Li Mancang who had been radiated by gamma rays.
You must know that Li Mancang is very strong among ordinary people, and his second senior brother is like Li Mancang who is two sizes older, and the two people are really similar in appearance and behavior. The only difference is that their personalities are very different.
Far.
Chen Jingnian didn't know what his second senior brother ate to grow taller. You must know that in this era when the average weight of a man was only 120 pounds, if he wanted to grow into Qi Guohua's size, he almost had to rely on the support of the whole village.
And it seems that Qi Guohua is a straight person, even a little naive.
But you shouldn't be stupid, because if you were stupid, you wouldn't be able to get the projectionist qualification certificate, and you wouldn't be able to say the master's biased words.
"...Don't ask, don't ask!"
Liu Guanggeng gave Qi Guohua a few words before he came over and asked, "How is it going?"
"Yes, it's very good. According to your instructions, the film temperature is normal and the light bulb does not flash."
Chen Jinnian turned his head and said, his hands still maintaining their original posture.
"Well, when we got on the machine, we all thought it was easy to show the screen, but when we took the maintenance class later, we were confused. In two days, I will ask your senior brother to bring over his maintenance notes. You can take a good look at it. After he gets it, he will still show it.
He has always maintained the habit of taking notes, you have to learn from him!"
"Second senior brother?"
"Ah! I didn't expect that from not being able to read a basket of Chinese characters to taking a basket of notes now, the little subsidy I gave him at the beginning was used by him to buy pens and paper."
After Liu Guanggeng finished speaking, he knocked on the table.
Chen Jingnian bent down and took out the next copy, but his eyes looked at Qi Guohua, who was sitting far away.
"Take a break for two minutes. If you have to go to the toilet, hurry up!"
Qi Guohua's loud voice exploded from behind the moment the curtain darkened, scaring even those who hadn't peed.
As soon as Chen Jingnian finished changing the copy, he saw his daughter running over and quickly introduced to Qi Guohua who was next to him: "Brother, this is my sister, her nickname is Nannan and her elder name is Chen Huiqin."
Then she hugged her sister and said, "Nannan calls me brother. This is my brother's senior brother."
"Haha, master, today I not only have a junior brother, but also a younger sister."
Qi Guohua clapped his hands and smiled at Liu Guanggeng, then turned to his daughter and said, "Nanny, my name is Qi Guohua. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell your brother!"
Qi Guohua felt that just talking was not enough, so he clasped his hands together and made a crisp sound.
"Awesome! He didn't bully me, he was just annoying!"
Nannan leaned on her brother's leg, her eyes lit up, and she spoke.
"Ah, you hate it? Then you have to deal with it. Is it your classmate or your neighbor?"
"You can do it. The children in your neighborhood and Hongxing Commune are so frightened that they dare not sleep when they hear your name. Just stop harming the children behind the curtain."
Liu Guanggeng knew very well the character of his second apprentice and quickly stopped him.
"It's all what you taught us, and I told them carefully."
Qi Guohua was a little distressed. He looked into Nannan's big eyes and then said: "One day when my brother is free, he will pick you up from your school and carry you around the school. You sit on your brother's shoulders and talk to the guy named Bangge.
Talk to me, and if my brother doesn’t speak, just stare at him with your eyes.”
"Brother, don't glare at our teacher Ran. Teacher Ran is very kind to me."
Nannan is timid, but she is not afraid of strangers, but of dead people.
Because Qi Guohua looked a bit like Li Mancang, and her brother was still around, she really wasn't afraid.
As a result, two people with very different appearances, one as strong as Golden Volibear, and the other as sinister as Anne, the daughter of Asai's Darkness, actually had a surprisingly lively conversation during the short break between filming. This chapter has been completed!
