Chapter 678 Reappearance of the s craze
A similar scene is playing out across China.

They had agreed to come one by one, but the villagers who were reluctant to leave surrounded the projectionist and refused to let him go.

"Let go! Let go now! Let's talk it over nicely, don't touch the copy!"

"Secretary Zhao, this is really not okay. You can't drink. You really can't drink. Team Two is urging us to drink!"

"I have no say in this matter. Several leaders are watching me. If I stay here, I will lose my job if I go back."

"Now, several villages are watching one, because there are not enough copies!"

"Don't worry, this is only the first round, there will definitely be a second round later!"

Chen Chen had to persuade and promise something before the ferocious village cadres and villagers dispersed.

Oh oh oh!
"Xiao Zhang, let's go!"

Chen Chen stepped on the accelerator and drove away, protecting the copy box.

The motorcycle drove to the next village.

Not only the countryside, but also the towns are more lively.

Shuigou Town.

Hu Panlan was a female worker in a tailor factory. She heard that "The Return of the Great Sage" was particularly good and was being shown for free at the town government, so she asked two friends to go and watch it.

I heard that there was a cinema here in the early years, but it disappeared later and now you have to go into the city to watch a movie.

It takes a long time to take a bus from the suburbs to the city, and movie tickets are expensive during the New Year.

Now, movies can be shown for free in the township government’s large conference room.

The three little sisters followed the two errand boys and were shocked when they arrived at the town government.

The crowd is full of people.

"There are so many people."

Fortunately, someone ran errands for them. The two boys found out what was going on and queued up to get the tickets for them so they could wait for the next show.

It was around four in the afternoon before they could get in line, so they decided to eat something on the street first.

In the city, few small restaurants may be open on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, but the towns and villages are very lively.

The town becomes lively only during the Chinese New Year, when migrant workers go back home and shop owners rush to make money.

The proprietress brought the noodles to the table quickly: "Chicken noodles are here!"

"Thank you!" Hu Panlan was very polite. She tried the hand-rolled noodles, which were chewy and the chicken soup was delicious. She thought it was pretty good: "Shall we go shopping first, and then wait to watch a movie?"

A little sister asked, "Liu Jie, you went to the city to watch "The Return of the Great Sage" the day before yesterday. Was it good?"

As soon as Liu Jie saw that his chance to perform had come, he immediately said, "Hit, hit! That was really good-looking, so wonderful. The scene and the special effects were worth it."

He watched "The Monkey King" because he was on a blind date with someone. The other movies were just average, and he heard that "Conquering the Demons" was scary, so he chose "The Monkey King".

I watched three shows in three days and spent more than a thousand yuan on food and drinks.

Fight for marriage.

Another girl laughed and teased: "Look how proud you are."

The boy who was traveling with me said, "Sing Yeh's 'Conquering the Demons' is more profound, while 'The Monkey King: Hero is Back' is just an animation."

Liu Jie gestured and argued, "It sold for more than three billion, which means everyone thinks it's good."

"Yeah, your Star Master gave you a free ticket, but at least Shen Santong let us watch it for free." The little sister who spoke first teased.

Liu Jie shared his own experience: "In the city, a ticket costs 50 yuan, and in theaters with special effects, it can cost hundreds of yuan. The demand is still far from meeting the demand. When I watched the movie, I had to struggle a lot to buy a ticket several times."

Someone was puzzled: "How many times? Why did you watch it so many times?"

Hu Panlan guessed, "He went on a blind date, right?"

Liu Jie reacted quickly: "No way, my nephew and niece are holding me back, alas, there is nothing I can do."

The five of them shopped until the afternoon, and when they entered with their tickets, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

The large conference hall that can accommodate hundreds of people now has thousands of people in it, and the aisles are full of people.

"I'm afraid the radio reception is not good. Let's go to the theater in the city tomorrow and enjoy the show."

"We have to go to work tomorrow."

As the movie officially started, the scene became quiet.

"The Return of the Great Sage" did not disappoint them.

The ink-like pictures, the smooth plot, and especially the cute appearance of the God of Land deeply attracted them.

An hour passed and no one in the audience noticed the passage of time.

Countless eyes were cast towards the screen, all immersed in the movie.

"This movie is really good. Is it playing tonight? Shall we watch it again?"

"No, each person is limited to one game."

“I’ll go to the city during the holidays. The graphics, scenery, music, and plot are just amazing.”

After a screening of "The Monkey King: Hero is Back", many viewers were like Hu Panlan and her group. Some even drove their families to the city to find a theater to watch the movie again.

Shandong.

The village party secretary of Lijia Village rushed into the township government in a hurry on a motorcycle.

"Damn it! Xiaowo Village has detained the projectionist. We have already prepared the screen and are just waiting for the film. We have been waiting for a whole day! So many children are waiting. If Xiaowo doesn't release it, the tractor is ready!"

Lao Li, the village party secretary, also tried his best.

So many people in the village are looking at him!
The village head was also in a state of panic: "Old Li, don't worry, don't worry."

Lao Li said: "It's not that I'm anxious, leader. If I hadn't persuaded them, they would have fought a long time ago."

The village chief immediately called and said, "Damn it! I don't care if the projectionist is drunk or lost, you bastard, give the copy to Lijia Village!"

Old Li took out his flip phone and did not give the people from Xiaowo Village time to prevaricate. He ordered: "The leader has spoken. If you don't give it to me, I will take it away."

Xiaowo Village.

The village chief shook his head helplessly and let the projectionist go.

Fortunately, there was only the ending song left in the third game, and he did his best to watch the third game.

As soon as Lao Li left, the branch secretaries of the second and third teams of the township came to his door and had a big argument over the copies.

The village chief tried to comfort the man again, then called the town, hoping to get more copies.

BJ.

Phone calls and reports came in like snowflakes.

I have only one request, please give me more copies, otherwise there will be a war among hundreds of villages!

The leaders of the relevant departments were all shocked.

This wave of "The Return of the Great Sage" rural activities had been planned long ago.

Over the years, Santong Entertainment's movies have been shown in rural areas many times.

It’s just that in the past it was always after the movie was taken off the screen, but this time it’s while it’s still in theaters.

Santong Entertainment has opened up its copyright, and fortunately the town has digital projection equipment.

The equipment in the villages and towns is old and can only be projected using film.

Santong Entertainment provided 5,000 film copies, all in color, and paid tens of millions of dollars in cash.

But looking across the country's rural areas, the five thousand copies have fallen into oblivion.

The old leader of the film department just felt like he had returned to his youth.

The flood of films that emptied the streets in the 1980s seems to have reappeared.

The sky gradually darkened.

The darkness of winter comes early.

Twilight Quadruple.

A three-meter-high white cloth screen was set up in a threshing ground in a township in western Hunan. An old film projector was clicking and a diesel generator was roaring.

Villagers from miles around flocked here carrying benches and bamboo chairs.

The high beam of a motorcycle cut through the night mountain road, with a child wrapped in a cotton jacket on the back seat.

The 70-year-old man held his grandson's hand and muttered, "In 1983, when Shaolin Temple was shown, half of the wall of the grain drying field collapsed due to the crowds. Tonight's Monkey King is even more spectacular!"

The temperature was cold, but the people were enthusiastic.

The front row was filled with half-grown children with shining eyes, middle-aged men squatted on the stone mill sucking on cigarettes, young girls and wives crowded around the haystacks, and even Wang the Cripple, who had been paralyzed at the entrance of the village for years, was carried by his nephew.

The screen suddenly lit up.

At the beginning of the film, a golden dragon soars into the sky and explodes the sea of ​​clouds.

Thousands of people in the threshing ground shouted “Wow” in unison.

Early morning comes.

The whole of China is filled with the joy of the New Year.

北京时间2月17日凌晨，当地时间2月16日晚，第63届柏林国际电影节闭幕。

Ning Hao walked the red carpet with the crew of "No Man's Land".

"Don't be too nervous." Xu Zheng reminded Ning Hao that he was also the leading actor in the movie, so it was reasonable for him to attend.

This is a good show.

Ning Hao felt like his heart was about to jump out, and he had an urge to run away.

If I did this, would I be able to leave Berlin safely?

It feels no different than planting the Qing flag on the German parliament building.
