1424. The original ideal (2)
As soon as July entered, the village changed a lot. Ao Muyang bought this iron-shelled boat, while Ao Fugui didn't know where to tinker with an old-fashioned movie projector.
Ao Muyang parked the boat and packed it up, it was already afternoon and evening. He went to the village committee to report the accounts, and then saw a large curtain set in the small square in front of the village committee.
Looking at the yellow and white curtain, he was a little confused and asked Ao Fugui who was busy and said, "What the hell are you doing? Don't you go sing the news?"
Ao Fugui raised his head and wiped his sweat and said, "Don't go sing for now, don't need to sing every day. Secretary Lu said, I'll just sing twice a week. Now practice my voice first, and then go to the town to sing."
Ao Muyang pointed to the curtain and preached: "Then what's going on?"
Ao Fugui smiled mysteriously and asked, "Yangzi, can't you recognize what this is?"
Ao Muyang carefully identified it and said hesitantly: "The diaper mat you used?"
Ao Fugui stamped his feet angrily: "Fuck, Yangzi, are you burying me or looking up to me? Can I use such a big diaper mat when I was a child?"
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "I didn't say you used it when you were a child."
Ao Fugui rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I'm too lazy to talk to you."
Ao Muyang waved his hand and said, "Don't show this bear. I'm teasing you. My eyes are not blind. This is the white screen used to play movies, right? Why are you doing this?"
Ao Fugui smiled and said, "What are you doing? I'm not only holding up the curtain, come with me here, what do you think is this?"
As he said that, he took a few steps and opened a wooden box, revealing a set of machines inside.
Seeing this machine, Ao Muyang smiled: "Ha, movie projector? Where did you get it? It's rare that this thing is still there these days."
Ao Fugui said proudly: "It's absolutely rare. This machine was found in the town government warehouse. At that time, I wanted to see what was related to our customs, but I found this projector."
As he said that, he patted the wooden box and raised his head and sighed: "What a fate. This machine has been useless for five or six years. It was almost processed to be sold by the scrap seller, but fortunately it was not processed. And I tried it but it didn't break. You said, isn't this machine just prepared for me?"
Ao Muyang laughed and said, "I prepared it for you? You are quite interesting. Are you going to use this thing to play movies?"
Ao Fugui said seriously: "Yes, I want to play a movie. When you forgot to go to elementary school, the teacher asked us what ideals we had. Did you forget? What was my ideal at that time?"
What happened more than ten years ago, Ao Muyang rubbed his temples and asked, "Expel the Tartars and restore China?"
Ao Fugui said, "Get out, serious, you don't take your brother seriously. I still remember your ideal. Being an astronaut, Dapeng wants to be a scientist, and studying a monkey who can fly into space. When you said you would sit on his monkey who goes to heaven, haha."
Someone around him was watching him pack up the curtain and laughed when he heard this.
Ao Muyang waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, what ideal did you think you had at that time? Be a movie projectionist?"
Ao Fugui patted his thigh and said, "Yes."
Ao Muyang recalled it carefully, but he still didn't recall the scene at that time, but he was right, and he still had an impression of this.
Ao Fugui said enthusiastically: "I really think this is ideal. When I was twenty years old, I went to Hongyang to work and worked in a cinema. I wanted to be a projectionist."
"Why didn't you continue to do it?"
Ao Fugui sighed and said, "Before I was a technical job, I worked as a waiter for half a month, and then the cinema where I worked closed down."
"The boss is so unlucky."
After the curtain was pulled up, the rest of the work was simple, that is, to put together the machine, the machine had several main bodies, projectors, phonographs, loudspeakers, speakers, and Ao Fugui said there was also a generator. Now the voltage in the village is stable and there is no need for that thing.
After Ao Muyang reported the account, Ao Fugui installed the machine. He hung two loudspeakers on two street lamp poles, just opposite the small square from both sides.
Seeing Ao Muyang come out, Ao Fugui stepped on one foot on the wooden box, raised his head and said, "Yangzi, the exciting time has come. You shout on the horn. Today I will play the movie for the villagers."
Ao Muyang smiled bitterly and said, "Don't let this go. Now every household has a TV and a computer. The TV has a 4k high-definition screen and the computer film source is 1080p. Who will come out to watch this?"
Ao Fugui said indifferently: "There are always people who are willing to come out to watch it. If you don't believe it, try it. There must be many people who are willing to watch it, because I play movies that everyone hasn't watched enough before. These movies are now on TV and can't be watched on computers."
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "You may not be able to watch it on TV, why can't you watch it on computer?"
Ao Fugui carried another box, and after opening it, there was a row of iron boxes inside, painted with red, green, blue and white. After years of age, the paint surface has been mottled, and the color of the pictures posted on it has almost faded away, leaving only some vague lines.
"Look at these movies yourself. You can search for the source of movies on your computer, but what is the clarity of the movie sources? You can't see clearly at all!" Ao Fugui said confidently.
Ao Muyang took out an iron box casually. He had never touched the projector video tape before and asked, "Is this a video tape storage box?"
Ao Fugui said: "Yes, don't open it randomly. It's all old movies. It has to be handled by professionals like me. You can't move around."
"Tsk." Ao Muyang scoffed.
I used correction fluid or something to write a column of words on the back of the iron box: Look at this family.
Originally, there were pictures similar to posters on the iron box, but they were seriously damaged. After looking at it, he couldn't see what was drawn on it, so he asked, "What kind of movie is this?"
Ao Fugui was energetic: "Hey, this is a good movie. It's a movie starring Chen Qiang and Chen Peisi. It's hard to find a source for the film online. If you don't believe it, try it. I'll find it and find some introductions and some vague sources."
He heard that this was a movie starring Chen Peisi and his son. Ao Muyang had some interest. As a child born in the late 1980s, his generation's childhood witnessed Chen Peisi's acting peak and he still had a good impression of this bald artist.
While introducing, Ao Fugui pulled out another iron box and handed it to him: "Look at this, you like this. When our village put this in, you were still boxing."
The back of the box contains the three words "Shaolin Temple". The cover pattern of this film is still preserved and should have been changed later. It is a bald jack-Li is wearing a monk's training suit and is wielding his fist.
Ao Fugui's words reminded Ao Muyang of some things in his childhood, which were from more than 20 years ago. He couldn't help but smile and said, "You kid has a good memory."
"That's not," Ao Fugui was proud, "and remember your embarrassing things."
Ao Muyang nodded and said, "Well, you can't live in the movie like this for two minutes."
