Chapter 318: Enjoying with the People
The movie being screened tonight is a very classic movie - "Little Soldier Zhang Ga".
Speaking of this movie, the filming process was quite difficult.
The script was actually written as early as 1958, but the director got busy with other things after reading the script. It was not until this year that the director decided to make this story into a movie.
Unfortunately, there was too much rainfall this rainy season, and we encountered a heavy rainstorm shortly after we started filming.
In desperation, the filming team moved to a similar place and started filming.
In this era, there were no such advanced equipment and technology as in later generations. Many scenes were shot at real locations, and the requirements for the actors were extremely high. Basically, all the filming was done in real time.
After many twists and turns, the filming was finally completed in September. It was originally planned to be released in November, but it happened to coincide with the National Day, and so many people gathered in Fengze Garden. With the help of He Daqing and the senior leaders, the premiere of this film was held in Fengze Garden.
Because the protagonist of the movie is a little kid who is lively and smart and does all kinds of unexpected things, the movie attracted a lot of laughter as soon as it started.
"Gazi is a real tiger!"
"But in the face of Xiao Ri's coercion and torture, he did not compromise. Good job!"
"Young hero!"
Everyone was sitting around the entrance of Fengze Garden, staring intently at the images on the screen. Many people brought melon seeds and peanuts with them, but because the movie was so good, they forgot to eat them for a while.
This movie is so classic that even decades later, when it was adapted into a TV series, it is still extremely popular.
"Too beautiful!"
The brothers from various provinces sitting in the front row were also watching intently.
For them, movies are a rare thing in the first place, so they are extremely excited to see such a classic movie.
"Daqing, this time it's all thanks to you!"
The senior leaders of Sichuan and Chongqing stood in the crowd and gave He Daqing a thumbs up.
He originally just wanted He Daqing to help share the pressure of the reception, but he never expected that He Daqing would make such a big fuss.
Not only did they make good arrangements for these guests who came from afar, but they also took the opportunity to make Fengze Garden popular.
Look at all the people here, all laughing, it’s so lively.
Moreover, on this National Day, the meaning of this program is so different!
"No, no, I dare not mess with your instructions!"
He Daqing grinned. He didn't expect that he would be able to watch the premiere of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga". It was a pleasant surprise.
Of course, the reason why the director was willing to choose Fengze Garden as the venue for the premiere was also closely related to He Daqing's previous call on the steel rolling mill and people nearby to organize support for the Haihe River flood.
If it weren't for the warning from the flood, their filming team would not have changed the location in advance. Otherwise, the film might not have been completed now.
Moreover, Fengze Garden is now the hottest spot in the entire city. Only when movies are shown here can they achieve the greatest effect!
Amidst a chorus of discussion, "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" finally came to an end. Looking at the list of actors moving on the screen, many people were still a little reluctant to leave, feeling that it was not enough.
"As for the movies, we'll be showing them every night during the National Day holidays!"
He Daqing smiled at everyone and said,
"Now, let's give warm applause to welcome these friends who have come from afar. Let them also perform for us!"
This is a newly released movie. Even if it is broadcast for half a year, there will be no shortage of people watching it.
However, compared to the movie, these guests from other provinces are the protagonists today.
As He Daqing finished speaking, warm applause broke out all around.
"Hello everyone!"
Seeing this, the guests from afar stood up one by one with shy smiles on their faces.
He Daqing treated them to delicious food and drinks and invited them to watch such a wonderful movie. As a guest, how could he continue to live here if he didn't do something?
Then, one of the people wearing special clothes stood up.
"Then I will sing a folk song from our place for you!"
"it is good!"
As soon as the words fell, applause broke out all around.
In that era, there were no devices like sound cards. Not to mention sound cards, there weren’t even microphones.
Although they were a little poor, the spirit and energy of each person was incomparable to people in later generations.
Let’s put it this way, even a woman may be more masculine than men in later generations!
Under the gaze of the crowd, the guests sang and danced, each of them extremely happy.
Their voices were beautiful and their dancing was very graceful, which made the audience cheer endlessly.
Today's show is absolutely brilliant.
So much so that in the end, everyone even put a pile of firewood in the middle and started to circle around it.
"Okay, okay, this is wonderful!"
They played until after eleven o'clock in the evening, when He Daqing finally came out and said to everyone.
"Our activities today have come to an end. It's getting late. Let's all go back and rest. These guests have traveled a long way and need to rest. We will put on another wonderful show for everyone tomorrow!"
Although tomorrow is also a holiday, it would be bad if we play too late.
He Daqing waved his hand, and the crowded crowd began to disperse.
The leaders of Sichuan and Chongqing had already left early, and He Daqing and Xu Huizhen still needed to organize the aftermath.
There was no other way. He had to personally preside over such a large event. It would be fine if it was organized well, but if something unexpected happened, it would be troublesome.
"Everyone, we don't have any guests living here, so the conditions are a bit shabby. I hope you can forgive me!"
He Daqing and Xu Huizhen brought everyone to the private room of Fengze Garden.
It was originally used to entertain guests for dinner, but due to special circumstances, temporary beds have been built with wooden boards.
People don’t care about so many things these days. Forget about beds. Even a mat placed on the ground will do for a night.
"No, no, Manager He, you've been very good to us."
"That's right, we're not being pretentious, just having a place to lie down is good enough!"
Everyone smiled and shook their heads. What else could they not be satisfied with as they could eat, drink, play and sleep in the best hotel in the city?
"Row."
He Daqing shrugged.
"I'm staying here today, too, to keep you company. I'm in the backyard, so feel free to call me if you need anything!"
After all, He Daqing was worried about entertaining so many people. He couldn't just leave them there and go back to sleep.
As for the people from Fengze Garden and the Civilian Canteen, he also picked a few to stay with him so that they could solve any problems they encountered at any time.
