Chen Jingshan couldn't sleep all night, thinking about the cinema, the magical screen, the Coke and popcorn, and then the mysterious shopkeeper and the beloved Ye Qingzhou.
He got up when he heard the rooster crow.
He washed his face with water in the yard, cleaned up and went out with his wallet.
He ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles at the noodle stall he often ate, and prepared to go to the cinema after eating.
The waiter came over with the noodles, and Chen Jingshan took the chopsticks out of the chopstick basket and lowered his head to eat the noodles.
The guests at the next table were chatting, and Chen Jingshan couldn't help but look up. This morning, there were a lot of people in this small noodle shop. From time to time, words like "Ye Qingzhou" and "cinema" popped up in the noise. They were all waiting to go to the cinema to watch a movie after breakfast.
Chen Jingshan ate his noodles faster, almost finishing the bowl in a few gulps, took out a few copper coins and threw them on the table, then hurriedly got up and ran towards Song'an Street.
From a distance, Chen Jingshan saw the huge poster hanging at the door of the cinema, and many passers-by and students from Song'an Academy were watching.
He stopped at the door and looked for a while.
Is this a picture?
It looks exactly like the characters on the screen. It's too real.
Chen Jingshan's heart sank a little. This shop is too strange.
He is a storyteller. In order to tell a good story, he likes to read novel and rare books and strange stories.
He thought he was well-read and had seen too many strange things that were unknown to the world. However, even the most bizarre and difficult stories did not shock him as much as the store in front of him.
Many people entered the cinema and lined up in front of the ticket counter to buy tickets.
Chen Jingshan raised his hand to adjust his hat, calmed himself down a little, and walked in.
He had been thinking about it all night, and it was useless to make random guesses.
What the hell is in this store? He wanted to find out today.
Chen Jingshan bought a ticket, holding the free Coke and popcorn set, and went to the rest area to wait. He saw his colleagues at a table in the corner.
Liu Gennong is a storyteller like him, but the two of them are not telling stories in the same place.
Chen Jingshan didn't expect to meet him here, so he walked over quickly: "Brother Liu."
Liu Gennong was thin, wearing a gray-brown long gown, a hat, and a long beard. He raised his head when he heard the call, "Brother Chen."
The two sat down and chatted for a few words. Liu Gennong usually tells stories at the Sixi Building in Taipei City. Yesterday, he heard that a great shop had opened in the East Market, so he came to take a look.
About a quarter of an hour later, the radio began to notify customers who wanted to buy tickets to check in.
Chen Jingshan and Liu Gennong stood up and walked towards the ticket gate with a little excitement.
The first movie started on time, and all 30 tickets were sold, and half of the tickets for the second show were sold.
Chunxi Building, private room on the second floor.
Le Han held a white porcelain teacup in his hand, leaning against the window sill, his eyes fixed on the door of the cinema next door, "It's really lively so early in the morning."
On the table behind him stood a small red clay stove with a kettle on it, boiling water.
Rong Shenghua, the shopkeeper of Rongxi Bookstore, held the handle with a wet towel, picked up the kettle and poured water into the small teapot in front of him, saying in a low voice: "The movie theater next door is not simple. The female shopkeeper looks gentle and peaceful, but she is definitely not an idle person."
Le Han leaned over to sit on the window sill, turning the teacup in his hand, "It is indeed not simple. Even if you go to see that theater, you will only feel that it is unfathomable and you can't figure it out at all. By the way, I went to the toilet of that shop yesterday. There is a smooth and clear mirror in the corner. In front of the mirror is a water basin for people to wash their hands, and something similar to soap. But that thing is placed in In a transparent small pot, it flows out after pressing, and it will foam when rubbed on the hands. It has a fresh and pleasant smell. The toilet rooms are divided into male and female rooms, that's all, all the utensils in the toilet are very strange. There is no strange smell inside, and there is even a faint fragrance. The toilet area is divided into small single compartments with doors, which is very private. The toilet paper is thin and soft, and when you get up after using the toilet, there will be water to wash away the dirt. I have lived for twenty-four years and I claim to be knowledgeable, but I have never seen such strange utensils. "
Rong Shenghua frowned when he first heard Le Han talking about the toilet.
He really didn't want to talk about the cycle of life and death so early in the morning. It would ruin his appetite. He hasn't had breakfast yet.
But after listening to what Le Han said, Rong Shenghua felt a little ashamed. He didn't find such a place in the cinema yesterday.
He really couldn't imagine the furnishings of the toilet described by Le Han.
The shiny mirror, the scented soap, the single toilet with a door, the automatic flushing without odor, and the thin and soft toilet paper, he had never seen it before.
Rong Shenghua was really curious, and thought to himself, just buy a ticket in the afternoon and go in to take a look.
The movie "The World's Number One" was really good, and he didn't think it was a waste to watch it again.
"In your opinion, what is the intention of the female storekeeper?" Rong Shenghua put away his thoughts and asked.
Le Han looked at Rong Shenghua, smiling: "Rong, the shopkeeper, is very knowledgeable, don't you have any clues?"
Rong Shenghua looked gloomy, and stroked the smooth edge of the white porcelain teacup with his fingers, "I have never seen such a strange shop. If you really want to say, the female shopkeeper and the shop appeared suddenly, as if... an alien."
The shop had been vacant for a long time, but the decoration and even the appearance of the theater were completely different from the regulations of the Dawu Dynasty.
Their two families were next door, and they had never seen any craftsmen coming in and out of the shop. Everything was done quietly.
Rong Shenghua was a bookseller, and he usually took some storybooks written by literati, and he had read many strange stories.
But when this statement was put forward at this time, he himself did not dare to believe it.
Le Han nodded slowly: "If it is really as Manager Rong guessed, it would be very interesting."
Rong Shenghua glared: "Do you really believe it?"
Le Han said seriously: "Whether it is true or not, or someone is playing tricks, we will know it after a quick investigation."
Rong Shenghua: "How to investigate?"
To be honest, the cinema was not concealed at all. They both investigated the places that could be investigated, but they didn't know what was going on even after the investigation.
Le Han: "I hired someone from Ling Xiaoge."
Rong Shenghua was slightly startled, and stood up and said: "You hired a killer?"
Le Han waved his hand and said: "Manager Rong, don't think too much, I didn't issue a killing order. Ling Xiaoge actually also accepts the job of gathering intelligence. Isn't the next door hiring people? Ask their people to go in and investigate, maybe we can find some clues."
Rong Shenghua sat back slowly, "In that case, why not ask those people in the store?"
Le Han shook his head: "It's useless."
The waiters in the cinema were more and more tight-lipped, and nothing could be asked.
After the discussion, Rong Shenghua got up and left. Le Han poured himself another cup of tea and sat by the window sill to sip it slowly.
Next, just wait for the people from Ling Xiaoge to come.
Cinema, Screening Hall No. 1.
There are a few minutes of commercials before the movie officially starts.
What was playing on the big screen at this time was the popcorn and cola commercial that Lu Yao shot with the employees of the snack bar last night.
Actors are needed to shoot commercials. The employees of the snack bar are very active. When they heard that it would be shown in the owner's cinema, they all wanted to participate in the filming.
As a famous master of balancing, Lu Yao naturally agreed.
In the end, it was made into a series of short films, and the first one is played today.
Bai Ming, Xingzi and Xiaoqie dressed up in ancient costumes and prepared to go to the movies. When they bought tickets at the front desk, they also bought popcorn and Coke. Here is a product display - a close-up of popcorn and Coke.
Afterwards, the three of them each walked into the theater holding a portion of popcorn and Coke, enjoying the delicious snacks while watching the movie. The picture is warm and full of fun.
This is an advertisement that is so straightforward that there is no technique or plot twists, but for the people of the Dawu Dynasty, it is so amazing that it is hard to describe.
Because they also have the same products as the ones on the screen, when they see the people on the screen eating popcorn, they can't help but grab a handful of popcorn in their arms and taste it. The taste is really good.
The most amazing thing is the strange feeling of fantasy shining into reality.
They ate the same thing as the people on the screen. Could it be that those people on the screen are actually real people like them?
The location of the commercial was borrowed from the live theater of the amusement park. The theater in the amusement park is more luxurious than the remote theater. The screening hall is large, accommodating more audiences, and the screen is also large.
The screen in the commercial plays completely unseen content, which flashes by.
The people of Dawu Dynasty are curious and want to know what movie they are watching. At this time, the commercial is over and safety knowledge begins to play.
Afterwards, "The World's Number One" officially starts playing.
Chen Jingshan and Liu Gennong were sitting in the back row. They were in the same row, but there were two people between them.
In the dim light, the light from the screen shone on their faces. Their expressions were serious. The further I looked, the more frightened I felt.
