Siheyuan: The Cellar

Chapter 122 Theater

But in this era, there are actually not many movies to watch.

For example: The Chicken Feather Letter, Shajiadian Grain Station, Crossing the River Reconnaissance Notes, The Bandits’ Gang in the Mountains, Liang Zhu, etc.

It's basically these movies played over and over again.

However, due to the scarcity of entertainment options in this era, people always enjoy watching it.

As projectionists, they actually like to show movies on the streets of the city.

Firstly, it is close and the road is easy to walk. It is convenient. Secondly, it is in the city and the frequency of broadcasting is high. Basically, the audience has already been familiar with the plot.

The projectionist only needs to put the film on the projector and then he doesn't have to worry about anything else.

If there are things that the newcomer doesn't understand, the people next to him will naturally explain them to him.

This also saves the projectionist the responsibility of explaining the film, so he can have some free time.

But it is different in the countryside, even though they show the same movies.

However, there are limitations due to factors such as transportation, distance, and the number of projectionists.

The frequency of movie screenings in the countryside is definitely not comparable to that in the city.

Sometimes, when a movie was shown in one commune, people from another commune, more than ten or twenty kilometers away, might run to watch it in the dark.

Moreover, the projectionist is also responsible for explaining the content of the film to the villagers. Sometimes, it may be necessary to pause the film, explain it, and then continue the projection.

This is very annoying for the projectionist.

As for the dangers of showing movies in the countryside?

In fact, the job of projectionist itself is not dangerous.

Although the road was not very peaceful during this period.

But there are very few people who try to compete for the projectionist's position.

Because projectionists don’t have much money. They are not like buyers at all. They only have money and food.

The projectionist is outside, and the most valuable thing among all his belongings is the projector.

However, no one dared to snatch this thing.

Firstly, they dare not use it, and they don’t know how to use it. And they can’t get rid of it.

Secondly, it is precisely because the equipment is expensive that if it is really stolen, it must be recovered.

Then! Those who understand will understand!

However, Chen Guoliang himself was not very interested in these things.

He does like watching movies, but he only likes imported ones.

Moreover, the effects of movies of this era, whether in terms of shooting or projection, are indeed not very ideal.

But now he is more of a curiosity.

This kind of open-air movie was actually still shown in some rural areas until the 21st century.

But for Chen Guoliang, he only knew about this matter.

As for watching? He really hasn't watched it.

Therefore, for him, it doesn’t really matter what he watches; what matters is to feel the atmosphere of watching a movie.

But watching movies and stuff like that is something that happens at night. The most important thing now is to have fun outside during the day.

We arrived at the Sijiucheng Theater of the People's Art Theatre and had just parked our bicycles when Yang Zaizai and his group of six arrived.

Chen Guoliang was quite helpless about lighting five lamps in broad daylight.

But there is no way around it.

After all, at school, there was the big mouth Ding Weihua sitting between him and Yang Zaizai.

If he knew it, it naturally meant that the other four gourd brothers knew it too.

Yesterday, Chen Guoliang and Yang Zaizai agreed to watch the drama "Thunderstorm" together today.

At the end of June, after the first performance of the People’s Art Theatre, it immediately ignited the drama market in Beijing.

There were 60 performances in the first round alone.

As a milestone in the maturity of modern drama, this drama has remained popular for 70 years.

Although Chen Guoliang had never seen it before traveling through time, he had at least heard of the famous drama.

Because when Yang Zaizai invited him to watch this play, Chen Guoliang felt that if he hesitated for even a second, it would be disrespectful to this landmark play.

The reason why he had never seen it before he traveled through time was simple.

Because he is just a simple prodigal son, and watching dramas is not in line with his temperament.

The remaining four people listened to Ding Weihua saying that Yang Zaizai was going to watch a drama with Chen Guoliang, and it was the recently popular After the Thunderstorm.

I would rather be beaten to death than not come and watch.

Originally, after Yang Zaizai returned yesterday, he assigned homework to several people and asked them not to leave the door until they finished their homework.

As a result, early this morning, she just pushed her bicycle to the gate of the compound.

Wow, several people have been waiting at the door for a long time.

He even thoughtfully brought her breakfast.

I have to say, this guy is pretty nice!

Although they came quite early, if they really wanted to see the play, they would probably have to wait for the afternoon show.

Because, this guy, the people queuing up to buy tickets were so crowded with people that the sound of gongs and drums, firecrackers, etc.

However, because the afternoon tickets had not yet started selling, the drill bits were neatly stacked on the steps of the ticket office.

The bricks were arranged one by one in a winding line.

And each brick represents a person in the queue.

This scene is just like doing nucleic acid testing.

As for why I didn’t buy tickets for the morning show.

The reason is simple, because the tickets for the morning performance were sold out yesterday afternoon.

Next to the ticket office, there were groups of spirited young men, with satchels hanging around their necks and their hands in their trouser pockets, looking at the people around them unscrupulously.

Of course, it is the weekend after all, so it is impossible that all the people here are energetic young men.

There were also groups of young men and women, standing in pairs behind the bricks and lining up in an orderly manner.

When they were talking, their faces were blushing. If you didn't know, you would think these people had done something shameful.

In fact, it might just be that their hands touched during the conversation.

Chen Guoliang looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh that people of this era were so innocent.

Once you touch someone's hand, you will be responsible for it for the rest of your life.

The guy in their courtyard was like a mudslide compared to these young couples.

Moreover, even though a bunch of bricks were thrown into the queue, no one cut in line.

Really high quality!

However, just as Chen Guoliang finished his sigh, he heard the sound of a bicycle bell ringing from behind.

Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.

It is true that there is a square in front of the ticket office. But the problem is that you need to climb more than ten steps to get to the square.

Moreover, in addition to people queuing to buy tickets, there were many other people sightseeing in the square, leaving no space for cycling.

Therefore, you can hardly see any bicycles here.

After all, I lifted the bike to the square and then couldn't ride it.

No one with a normal brain can do this.

People like Chen Guoliang and Yang Zaizai first locked their bicycles in the parking space next to the square and then climbed up.

Although, under the curious and caring gazes of everyone.

A young man wearing a woolen military coat was riding a bicycle towards us, and there was also a person of the same age sitting on the back seat.

They both looked to be around twenty years old.

I saw the young man on the bike parked his bike in front of the ticket window as if no one was around.

Then after the person in the back seat got off the bike, he picked up the bicycle with one hand and walked up the steps in front of the ticket office.

He glanced at the bricks in front with disdain, and then parked the car directly in front of the ticket window.

"Everyone, watch carefully! My car ranks first. Anyone who disagrees can stand up and speak."

Chen Guoliang: ???

What the hell is going on? I just said that the people in Sijiu City have high quality, and then he gets killed?
