Chapter 90 (Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain)
"He's in the Sunshine", such a free movie, suddenly became popular and became the focus of many people's conversation.
People who have seen the movie are discussing the central idea of the movie, while people who haven't seen it are curious, is the movie so exaggerated?
"You'll know once you watch it. It's a crime. They're just children. How could he have the heart to do that to them? Damn it. I heard it's based on a real case."
The scariest thing about horror movies is that they are based on real events.
"Why is it named like this, 'He in the Sunshine'? I thought it was a revolutionary drama, like 'The Garland under the Mountain' or 'The Visitor on the Iceberg'."
"I know! I read in the newspaper, and it said why the movie was called that."
Since this movie was so popular, of course the newspapers had to report on it. As early professional film critics, what the newspapers wrote was more and more profound than what ordinary audiences saw.
In addition to revealing the deep core of the film, you can also watch the film with a magnifying glass and see many details that ordinary audiences have not noticed.
"The newspaper said that the screenwriter of this movie is Li Daohua, Teacher Daohua. You see, this is Teacher Daohua's usual style, to trick people into coming in and then kill them."
Speaking of Li Daohua, everyone suddenly understood what they didn't understand before.
Teacher Daohua's works are like this. If you think back, there are not only "He in the Sunshine", but also "My Youth Struggle", "White Ivory Tower", "Dong Le's Success Studies"...
All are veritable name scammers.
But if you say it's not right, well, there is actually a way to explain it, and the explanation is reasonable and has profound connotations, which is weird.
If they had known earlier, they would have carefully looked at who the screenwriter was. If they had known it was Teacher Daohua, they would have been prepared instead of being caught off guard.
The premiere in Peiping was a success, and the next step was promotion across the country.
This requires a large number of copies. The more copies are made and the faster they are made, the sooner they can be promoted to the rural areas.
Anyway, Li Daohua has money, so it doesn't matter if the government subsidies come in slowly. She can pay the money first, copy it, and then slowly talk about the subsidy later.
It doesn't matter if there is no subsidy, she will pay for it herself. She has said before that she must let every rural area see this movie.
Once the funds are in place, the copying speed will naturally not be slow. Once the copying is completed, it will be distributed immediately.
The projectionists all heard that a new movie was coming out, and they needed to play it as quickly as possible to ensure that it was shown at every screening location.
The job of a projectionist is enviable, but not easy. They have to travel through mountains and rivers every day. Their main job is to bring movies to the countryside.
In the 1980s, many rural areas were located in remote areas, unlike later when most people moved to flat areas. Even the sparsely populated villages had access to water, electricity and roads.
At that time, the rural areas were still mostly mountain roads and dirt roads. Even if the projectionist had a bicycle, only the first half of the journey was convenient, while the second half was a living hell.
It didn’t matter if they fell down, but the projection equipment must not fall. To ensure safety, they spent most of the second half pushing their bicycles.
The movies shown were all old movies from a long time ago, played over and over again. New movies had to be bought locally, but people were poor and couldn't afford them.
It was fine when I first became a projectionist. I would watch movies along every time they were shown.
After a long time, he could no longer bear it and could even recite the movies by heart, so the old projectionist would find a place to sit and smoke or take a nap during the screening.
This time there is a new movie, which was just filmed this year, so they definitely haven’t seen it, so they must take a good look at it this time.
The projectionist often sits behind the movie screen. This position is also a favorite of some young people as they don’t have to squeeze with others.
All it takes is a few people pooling together a roll of homemade cigarettes to get to this great movie-watching spot. It doesn't matter if the subtitles are in reverse, because the actors speak clearly and you can hear what they are saying without looking at the subtitles.
"Let me tell you, this is a new movie. I heard it's very well made. You will definitely not lose out if you watch it."
In fact, even if the projectionist didn’t say so, no one would have let a movie go.
The countryside is not as good as Beijing. Ninety-nine percent of the families do not have a TV, and those who have a TV are reluctant to watch it every day because electricity is free.
Moreover, as soon as he turned on the TV, his neighbors, and even people from all over the village, would come to his house to watch TV. Too many people would waste electricity!
Free movies became one of the few entertainment activities for them throughout the year.
Not to mention if there was a movie showing in their commune, even if there was a movie showing in the neighboring commune, which was more than ten miles away, they would run over to watch it and then run back overnight.
Of course, those who travel back and forth overnight are basically young people; the elderly and children cannot bear it.
As long as it's a movie, they are willing to watch it as many times as they want, even if they can recite it by heart.
The poster at the beginning of the movie is like playing the lute to a cow. Although the country has been promoting literacy, illiteracy cannot be eliminated in a day or two. In order to enable these illiterate people to live a normal life and not be completely eliminated by society, some commonly used new words are taught during literacy campaigns.
Even considering that these people's level is too low, if the characters of commonly used new words are too complicated, they will be replaced by homophones, which were once the second simplified characters.
For example, the character "jidan" (chicken egg) often written by some elderly people is a character that has been simplified twice.
The professional words on the posters are still too difficult for many rural people.
This is also the reason why Li Daohua wants to make movies. No matter how many "White Ivory Towers" she writes, there is no way for them to be seen in rural areas.
Such things are more likely to happen in closed and backward places like rural areas.
Even then, the playback wasn't very good.
Due to the general lack of education, many people do not realize that what is shown in the movie is wrong. Even though the movie has clearly stated that the villain principal should be shot for what he did, there are still people who speak up for the villain principal.
The whole person's brain is like that of an uncivilized savage, not only men but also women.
Their perspectives are also very unique. For example, some people think that the principal has worked hard and taught students diligently, and the students have nothing else to repay the principal, so they should serve the principal.
Some people also think that if a girl speaks out after being raped, she is shameless and has brought disgrace to all her ancestors. It is even more shameful for a boy, as it will bring shame to all his ancestors, and all the descendants who will pass on the family line will also be disgraced.
If some people disapprove of the movie, there will naturally be others who do. Especially children who have been to school and received an education have acquired a preliminary ability to distinguish right from wrong.
Unfortunately, they have little influence and their parents don’t take what they say to heart. If they say too much, they will get angry and beat them.
Li Daohua also knew that these people’s ideas would not change immediately because of a movie. What she had to do was to win over some people first, and then subtly transform the others.
As long as some people know that this is wrong, it won't be all despair for the victims.
Some schools will also organize viewings, especially some people, who always feel that if their school does not organize a viewing, it seems as if their school is guilty.
After organizing the viewing, everyone was asked to write a review, including what they thought after watching the movie and whether similar things had happened around them.
Of course, children who are too young do not need to write a book review, because they really dare to make up lies.
The teachers still understand their students. If they really let this group of kids who can't tell the difference between dreams and reality, and truth and falsehood in movies, write the story, the whole school will be in disgrace the next day, and the students' parents may even have to be dragged into it.
"My dream is to be admitted to a university in Peking and go to Peking to see Teacher Daohua." This is what a junior high school girl who is about to take the high school entrance exam said.
"I want to, too! I heard that Teacher Daohua is kind and beautiful."
"Who told you that? Did you hear it wrong? Teacher Daohua really likes to beat and scold people." A boy corrected.
"That's not the case with Teacher Daohua. Teacher Daohua only beats up bad guys. She's still kind."
Li Daohua's readers have discussed the question of whether Li Daohua is a beautiful and kind person no less than a hundred times.
The younger generation is still full of yearning for Li Daohua, mainly because Li Daohua's resume is so outstanding.
How good is she? After the 1990s, the new generation of scholars who believed that studying was useless used Li Daohua as an example.
Take Li Daohua for example. Although she did not have a high level of education, she still became a famous writer on her own. There are many writers who graduated from universities but are not as famous as Li Daohua.
This forced Li Daohua to urgently refute the rumor, saying that reading is still useful. It is true that her cultural level is not high, but she has been self-taught later. Her history of self-study can be traced back to her first published work "Confessions of a Rural Woman".
It was mentioned there that she was self-taught. She just didn't get into university. She was not completely illiterate, nor was she uneducated, nor did she refuse to read.
How can she write novels if she doesn't read? Could it be that she doesn't even look at what she wrote after she finishes writing? What is she thinking?
Some local education departments even held a book review writing competition to cooperate with this education inspection.
Essay competition is conducted among students, who are divided into junior high school, high school, university and technical college sections.
Three excellent book reviews from each age group will be selected and published in newspapers, and there will also be corresponding certificates and rewards.
Now the school works even harder, and teachers also help their outstanding students revise their book reviews.
"This is not right. Teacher Daohua is 25 years old this year. She should be your elder sister, not Grandma Daohua..."
The teacher was also sweating profusely when she saw this. At this time, she was called Grandma Daohua. In a few years, in their mouths, Teacher Daohua might have been gone for a while.
"Twenty-five? I'm fifteen this year, and Sister Daohua is one year younger than my eldest sister.
Ten years later, when I am 25, I want to become a famous writer like Sister Daohua."
The teacher did not interrupt the child's ambition. Although most people, let alone at the age of 25, even at the age of 35 or 45, may not achieve what Li Daohua has achieved, one should always have a dream.
Didn’t she also have dreams? It’s great to be young.
…
"How is it, how is it outside?"
I believe that most people have not forgotten the period of home quarantine. The situation of many people in home quarantine is quite serious. Not to mention the residential area, they are not allowed to go downstairs or leave the door.
This is the situation with the villain principal now.
The difference is that when everyone is quarantined at home, there are still TVs, mobile phones, all kinds of stupid netizens on the Internet, and their own relatives and friends on the Internet.
The villain principal has none of that; his family doesn’t even have a TV.
Actors at that time did not earn as much as they do later, and there were not many film and television dramas and shooting tasks, so they naturally earned less, and their families were reluctant to buy them a TV.
I was thinking of saving some more money and buying a color TV in one go.
The house is not big, and with a family of four living together, there is very little space for activities.
After his family members go out to work during the day, he cannot make any noise at home, otherwise the neighbors will think that there is a thief in the house, and it will be even more troublesome if they report it to the police.
The studio knew about his situation and did not require him to go to work. If he was beaten on the way to work, it would be considered an industrial injury.
Just kidding, if he was really beaten, of course it would be considered a work injury. The last time he was beaten, the factory came to visit him and gave him money and fruits.
Being beaten all the time is not a big deal. What if you get hurt? It’s still safer at home.
Originally, I thought it would only be a matter of hiding for a few days, but later, a few days turned into half a month, and half a month turned into a month, and the villain principal could no longer hold on.
He felt that if he stayed at home any longer, he would get sick.
Every day when the family members come back, the first thing he asks them is how the day went, whether the popularity of "He in the Sunshine" has subsided, and whether he can go out.
As his wife shook her head, the villain principal sat on the stool dejectedly. Three days and a month passed. When would this kind of life end? His hair was almost covering his eyes.
"How about... we go out with you to relax in the evening?"
"Okay!" The villain principal agreed quickly, as if he was afraid that they would go back on their word.
"Is it okay?" It was already late, and the villain principal was dressing him up.
The long hair was tied into a small braid, the eyebrows were deliberately lengthened with an eyebrow pencil, and there was bright red lipstick on the mouth.
"If I didn't see how hard it was for you, I wouldn't let you use this lipstick." His wife took out the few cosmetics she had collected.
The villain principal's mother was right next to them, and she kept making clicks of the tongue.
"Tsk, why don't you just calm down for a while?" the principal said unhappily.
"I love you, what's it to you? Look at him, he doesn't look like a good guy with this outfit. Who do you think he looks like?" As he said that, he turned to look at the villain dad.
Finally, he was dressed up, and his family accompanied him as they sneaked out. They had to be fully prepared, in case they were still recognized, and they would have to work together to rescue people.
From that day on, a strange story appeared in the alley. In the middle of the night, a woman with a bloody mouth wandered in the alley, waiting for her destined man to come and get married.
When Li Daohua came to visit him, she was shocked. Has he evolved from a perverted principal to a perverted cross-dresser? Is he going to continue down this path forever?
