Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

The crosstalk of that time was very daring to face up to social realities and was highly critical. But later on, it became less so and completely fell into disrepair.

The sensation caused by the TV was simply outrageous. The villagers rushed to tell each other, and more and more people came. In an instant, more than 200 people gathered. People were crowded and close to each other. There was no place to step in the huge factory space. Some people even quarreled over positions.

Zhao Zhongkai had to bring a few militiamen to maintain order. The front row had people sitting on small stools, the back row had benches, the back row had chairs, and the back row had people standing and watching!

By the evening, it was time to go home and cook, but everyone was reluctant to leave and wanted to continue watching even if they were hungry!

Lin Zhengjun understands everyone's feelings very well.

Everyone wants to see the outside world.

But the information is too blocked, and television and the programs on it are their channels to understand the outside world.

As it was getting dark, a male member was hungry and wanted his wife to go home to cook, but his wife was unwilling and asked her husband to go back to cook, and they started arguing.

This is not a big deal. Lin Zhengjun stood up, put his hands together and said, "Members, it's time to eat. It's not good to have a hungry stomach. Go home and eat. I'll turn off the TV."

"Hey, Zhengjun, watch for a while longer!"

"How interesting!" Everyone was reluctant to leave.

Lin Zhengjun said: "What's the point of this damn news broadcast?"

At that time, the news broadcast didn't even have many front-line news scenes switching.

The studio is simple, with a striped wall background and a plain wooden table.

There was an announcer wearing a gray Zhongshan suit, sitting there upright, reading a script. He was Teacher Zhao Zhongxiang, whom Aunt Baiyun missed very much. He was 39 years old.

"News Broadcast" started broadcasting last year. He was the first generation announcer. At first there were no images, only sounds. Images were only added this year. And it was not a man and a woman pair, but just him.

"That's not even interesting, this is so interesting!"

"There are people on TV, in color!"

Everyone felt that Lin Zhengjun was inexplicable.

Lin Zhengjun thought for a moment and said, "Everyone go back and have dinner. I'll show you a better Hong Kong movie tonight!"

"Besides, you know what? This TV is just like a person. After working for a long time, it needs to rest, otherwise the parts inside will burn out!"

He used both coaxing and threatening.

Everyone really believed it, and said hurriedly: "Such a valuable thing cannot be burned, turn it off quickly and let the TV rest!"

"Then it will definitely burn out! Just like the light bulb in that house, after using it for a long time, the tungsten filament may burn out. The TV is also an electrical appliance, so I guess the principle is the same!"

"The movie starts at 8pm!"

Lin Zhengjun turned off the TV.

Everyone dispersed, jogging home to cook and eat, finished their meal quickly, and jogged back again for fear that their seat would be taken by someone else.

In the evening, Lin Zhengjun came to the cooperative factory again and played videos for everyone, starting with "The New One-Armed Swordsman".

This is director Chang Cheh's masterpiece, the screenplay is by Ni Kuang, and the lead actor is still a young and handsome guy named David Chiang, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He is very handsome!

The plot structure of the movie is simple, with a typical three-unities writing style, but it is neat and tidy, quite exciting, and everyone was excited watching it.

Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu were also sitting in the front row, watching with great interest.

Everyone was watching the TV intently, immersed in the plot.

Whenever there is free time, there are various discussions about the plot and the protagonist, as well as angry and abusive voices against the villain.

"Too beautiful!"

"Zhengjun, one more!"

"Hong Kong movies are really interesting! Thanks to Zhengjun, we are able to enjoy some foreign food this time!"

"That's not bad. Thanks to Zhengjun, I was able to establish a relationship with the film companies in Hong Kong!"

"There is only one person like Zhengjun in Huaibian County. You will never find another one!"

Everyone was watching the movie with complete concentration, and when the movie ended, they actually applauded as if the director and actors were right in front of them.

Lin Zhengjun came out and changed the videotape.

This time, it's Snake in the Eagle's Shadow.

The director is Yuan Heping.

The leading actors are Jackie Chan, and Yuan Xiaotian, the father of Yuan Heping who plays the hermit master.

This should be the pioneering work of humorous martial arts films. It was made in 1978 and is still very popular.

Jackie Chan had no choice but to pursue the path of comedic martial arts.

First of all, he cannot replicate Bruce Lee’s temperament and philosophy;

Secondly, his image also hindered his heroism. He could only play small characters. At that time, he was not the big brother he is today...

"Comic martial arts" is so new to everyone. We often laugh out loud and are completely immersed in the wonderful plot.

I watched this play by Lin Zhengjun quite carefully.

After all, he may have to work with Yuen Woo-ping in the future, so he needs to carefully understand his strengths and weaknesses.

From the perspective of film language, Yuan Heping is more suitable to be a martial arts instructor. He expanded the space for imagination in small spaces and battles, incorporated juggling and combined the actors' own foundation, making the long battles not boring.

It can be said that Jackie Chan, Yuen Woo-ping and Peking Opera martial artists have a deep connection, especially the arrangement and rhythm of scenes, which are all very methodical and have the flavor of Peking Opera martial arts, which is different from previous kung fu directors.

The problem lies in the language of the lens.

Yuan Heping's work is relatively monotonous. In the fights between characters, in order to show the actors' real kung fu, he used a lot of long shots, which seemed boring and rigid, and greatly weakened the expressiveness of the kung fu.

He often changed the shot size, but the change of shot size abandoned montage editing, and instead made extensive use of direct push and pull that had been abandoned by Hollywood.

This doesn't work well, as it loses the sense of reality and makes the viewer dizzy.

Lin Zhengjun understood very well that Yuan Heping came from a martial arts background and he really wanted to show off his kung fu.

The play was over. Lin Zhengjun looked up at his watch in the light of the street lamps. It was almost twelve o'clock. He said hurriedly, "It's too late. Let's go to bed early!"

Before he finished his words, there was a burst of shouting from below.

"Play another one! Play another one!"

“It’s so beautiful!”

"It's not that bad, I'm addicted to it!"

"Zhengjun, if you're worried that the TV has been on for too long and is going to burn out, then let it rest for half an hour and we'll wait for a while!"

"Yeah, let's watch another one! It's New Year's Day, and there's nothing serious to do!"

Someone on the left stood up first, and then someone on the right. Then a huge crowd of people stood up, all shouting, "Play one more! Play one more!"

When Lin Zhengjun saw that he was about to lose control, he quickly pressed his hands down and played another movie, "Fist of Fury".

After the screening, it was already late at night, but everyone was still reluctant to leave and kept clamoring for Lin Zhengjun to continue playing the videotape.

Lin Zhengjun hurriedly said, "Fellow villagers, no matter what, we can't set it off again! The TV and VCR will really burn out, and these things are precious! Everyone come early tomorrow and I will continue to set it off for everyone!"

Lin Bingde stood up and said, "Zhengjun is right. Staying up too late is bad for your health. Some of us are old and have high blood pressure. If something happens to us due to overeating, what can we do? And the children are too young to stand the cold and will catch a cold!"

Everyone stopped arguing, and Lin Zhengjun quickly turned off the TV, then took it down and locked it in the cabinet along with the VCR and the tapes.
