Lu Yao arrived at the cinema first, followed by Harold.
It was the premiere of "Moon Landing Plan", and the 3D theater on the second floor was also open to the public for the first time. Shuishan and Mingshi were arranged to check tickets together, and Harold distributed special glasses.
In the morning, the staff of Dawu Dynasty had to work hard to squeeze into the cinema through the door. The front of the door was already surrounded by people.
As soon as the door opened, the customers waiting in line poured in like a torrent.
Ye Xiao and Ku Ba stood at the door and managed to calm the situation. The customers who almost fought for the line were stopped by the guards with bad auras and lined up to buy tickets honestly.
Ever since they were picked up by Shuishan and Mingshi to work in the movie theater, Jinlu and Qiwu have been a little depressed. Recently, whenever they have time, they sit in the rest area on the first floor and use their eyes to release their resentment to Dieqi.
But when the trailer of "Moon Landing Plan" came out, the two were very excited and almost forgot about Shuishan and Mingshi.
On the day of the premiere, they thought that most of the top killers in Lingxiao Pavilion worked in the movie theater, and it should be easy to get two tickets through the back door. As a result, when they came in the morning, before they squeezed into the theater, the tickets for the premiere of "Moon Landing Plan" were gone, and the second and third shows were quickly sold out.
Jinlu and Qiwu sat on the steps outside the movie theater, as if they had come to a crossroads in their lives, confused, helpless, and dejected.
There are too many customers today. Many people didn't buy tickets and stayed in the rest area. Lu
Yao felt that he couldn't take care of everything, especially the second floor. He walked to the door and asked, "Jinlu, Qiwu, do you want to do some temporary work?"
Jinlu & Qiwu!!!
Lu Yao asked Jinlu to look after the staircase and rest area on the second floor, and to help Qin Sanwei and Changming when necessary. Qiwu helped Wen Jian check tickets on the first floor.
These two people hang around the cinema every day, and they are familiar with the basic business. They took the job with a secret joy.
Lu Yao and the two people agreed to work for three days and settle their wages after closing every day.
After three days, the popularity brought by the 3D movie should subside a little.
She didn't know that Jinlu and Qiwu had wanted to work in a movie theater for a long time, but she thought that the brothers and sisters of Kuba's school were all capable, so she asked them for help. Jinlu and Qiwu
had a plan in mind. In these three days, they must let the shopkeeper see their value and convert their short-term employment contracts into regular employment.
Moreover, the shopkeeper took the initiative to ask them for help, so Dieqi couldn't say anything.
Lu Yao arranged the personnel and returned to the ticket office of the 3D theater on the second floor.
Shuishan and Mingshi checked the tickets. Harold was wearing a pair of glasses specially used for 3D theaters. He handed the glasses to the guests and said, "Just wear them like this when you go in."
The guests were quite curious when they received the glasses.
They had seen the employees of the movie theater wearing these things and had been curious for a long time. They didn't expect to have the opportunity to experience them.
Lu Yao took a quick look and saw many familiar guests, such as Xie Xu's trio, Xie Wan, Sun Qinghe and a group of noble ladies, storytellers Chen Jingshan and Liu Gennong, Wan Baozhu and his maid, Xuanli, Wangsheng and the girls from the Baixiang Pavilion, Jiang's ancestors and the butler...
There is only one 3D theater, which does not support private reservations, so it can be said that tickets are hard to get.
The guests only want to buy tickets for the premiere, and suddenly they don't care so much about etiquette and the viewing environment. The guests
walked into the theater with glasses and clearly felt the difference of the 3D theater. There was an arm's width of space between the seats in front, back, left and right. The theater was spacious and quiet, and the screen in front was twice as large as that of an ordinary theater.
After sitting down, he looked at the screen without wearing glasses. The screen seemed to have two layers, one of which floated strangely and was blurry.
Xie Xu put on the glasses and the screen became clear. He took off the glasses and looked up to see the blurry screen. He put them on and off several times, and finally took off the glasses to study, "This thing is really useful."
Chen Yuning was also looking at the glasses, "Do you feel that once you put on these glasses, the people, objects, and scenes on the screen seem to be right in front of you?"
The two people next to him nodded, and the Prince of Jin said, "It's like the feeling of the spaceship taking off at the end of the trailer. It's not on the screen, but it really appears in front of you." A
guest next to him was wearing glasses and couldn't help but wave his hand in front of his eyes. The image was clearly right in front of him, but he couldn't touch it.
Mr. Jiang's eyesight has been bad in recent years. It's just that it's hard to see things close up, but it's better to see things far away.
He took off and put on his glasses repeatedly, and a little inquiry appeared on his old face.
The initial novelty passed, and as the plot gradually deepened, the audience began to watch attentively.
Some guests initially thought that "Moon Landing Plan" was a story similar to "Searching for Immortals", telling the story of immortals, monks and monsters, because the dream of the group of people in the trailer was to fly to the moon to take a look, and it was hard to imagine how to do it without the help of immortal magic.
But the beginning of this story is different. A group of people sat together and talked about their fantasies about landing on the moon, both men and women. Their eyes were bright and their tone was uplifting, which made people unconsciously infected by the uplifting atmosphere.
A group of six people, four men and two women, worked out the initial moon landing plan.
Wan Baozhu sat up slightly straighter, with a gleam in her eyes.
What she liked most about the cinema was that she could see many people, things, and objects that did not exist in the Dawu Dynasty.
They appeared in front of her in an extremely unusual manner, as if there really was such a place in the world.
For example, the women in the film who had the same status as men, they wore the same clothes as men, went in and out of the same places, and discussed the same issues. Such behavior was called "work."
Following the story and slowly getting to know the characters, you will find that these women, like men, are well educated and have professional qualities.
Even if they express their opinions in public, they will not be reprimanded for being ambitious.
Wan Baozhu is always fascinated by such stories, which always make her reassure herself that she is not an outlier.
Her thoughts are common in the world of the film. Maybe she was just born in the wrong world.
In the first five years of the "Moon Landing Project", the group had a headache for the manufacture of spacecraft. They lacked relevant technical support.
At this time, they received support from other countries and a guidance team came.
At first, Mabel was anxious. Can these so-called experts and professors from other countries be trusted?
Gradually, she began to understand that behind such assistance, there is something she is very familiar with.
After the first five years, the manufacture of the spacecraft has just begun.
However, due to some reasons, the aiding allies withdrew their original technical support, and the moon landing project was deadlocked again.
Marble was concentrating, focusing on the story, but his thoughts were unconsciously chaotic.
Cinema may not be as scary as imagined.
Because people's hearts seem to have never changed.
Even those idealistic people in the film have been misunderstood and have to face endless difficulties.
By the fourth five-year period, two of the original developers of the "Moon Landing Project" had passed away, one died of illness, and another encountered an accident on the way home from work.
The impermanence of the world seems to be an eternal truth.
But as time passed, many young and talented aerospace scientists joined the "Moon Landing Project".
They took over the torch from the previous generation, day and night, and continued to push forward the completion of the "Moon Landing Project".
In the sixth five-year period, manned spacecraft, astronauts, safety tests, logistics teams... everything is ready, and finally the last step of the moon landing plan will be implemented - landing on the moon.
In the theater, all the audience couldn't help but look up and watch the spacecraft named "Hope" take off.
Then, they saw the appearance of the earth from the perspective of "Hope", and everyone reacted.
Earth, is this where humans live?
The shock of the picture seen with glasses is even more difficult to describe than watching the trailer that day. It turns out
that it is not the moon.
It turns out that the world is a sphere.
In addition to being shocked, some people couldn't help but think, is the world really like this?
But the ground they perceived was flat.
Or, this is just a fictional story, the fantasy of the film author.
They just saw a person's dream.
At this time, the spacecraft was approaching the moon.
The shape of the moon began to appear in front of everyone. Everyone held their breath and imagined the palace built on the moon, the fairy Chang'e, the jade rabbit and the laurel tree...
The spacecraft landed smoothly, and the astronauts in spacesuits carefully opened the hatch and stepped out of the spacecraft.
The audience in the theater was stunned. What appeared before everyone was a desert-like world, with no vegetation, no rivers, no animals, and no... humans.
The astronaut landed on the moon alone, and there was nothing on the moon.
The sky was thick and black, and the surface of the moon was pitted and desolate.
The guests in the theater were also silent, feeling endless loneliness and confusion.
Is there really nothing on the moon?
Not even humans exist.
Is it really worth it for two generations to put in more than 20 years of hard work just to get a glimpse of this?
Is the truth that mankind pursues only barren
at the end? Then, what is it that we have spent our whole lives trying to grasp?
Perhaps, it is nothing but nothing.
The astronaut, holding a flag in his hand and wearing heavy and inconvenient clothes, walked slowly on the moon, and his faint breathing could be heard.
At this time, the astronaut was the only visitor to the moon.
At this moment, he shared this moon with the people in front of the screen.
The road he walked left a string of long and thin footprints.
Step by step, so lonely, so heavy, and so firm.
The astronaut suddenly stopped, stood up straight, and looked at the earth.
From the moon, the earth is also a small sphere, just like the moon seen from the earth.
However, the earth is a watery blue planet.
Then the astronauts solemnly planted the flag in their hands on the surface of the moon.
Suddenly, cheers came from all directions, and the guests in the theater were startled.
It turned out that people on earth were also watching the moon landing through satellite broadcasts.
After nearly thirty years of efforts, only one person successfully landed on the moon, but he fulfilled the dreams of tens of millions of people.
Even if there was no fairy palace, no Chang'e, and nothing they imagined on the moon, even if they only saw a desolate land, those people were so happy that they were about to die, as if they had also landed on the moon.
Jiang Yudie lowered her head and pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve. Her mood was a little complicated. She turned her head inadvertently, and her eyes were slightly stagnant.
Old Mrs. Jiang tilted her head slightly, her slightly gray eyes staring straight up, two lines of tears sliding down her face that was as bark as an old tree.
Jiang Yudie was startled.
This was the first movie that the old man had seen, and it was indeed different from the ones they had seen before, but it wasn't enough to make her cry.
She had never seen Old Mrs. Jiang so fragile and out of control in her entire life.
Over the years, compared to her stern and cold father, Jiang Yudie was more afraid of her grandfather who had long since retired to the family and had a kind face.
In her eyes, her grandfather was the sky of the Jiang family.
Old Mrs. Jiang raised her hand, wiped her face with her sleeve, and murmured in a low voice, "The world is always like this, only a few people can walk in front. And those who walk in front are the torch."
Jiang Yudie didn't hear clearly and wanted to move closer.
With a "bang", the lights in the theater came on, and the show was over.
Like Jiang Yudie, most of the guests were confused, their emotions still lingering, and they sat there like puppets, motionless.
Only Wan Baozhu took off her glasses, stood up immediately, and walked out.
She was going to find Lu Yao.
The Imperial Palace.
Just after the court session, Minister Chen came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a hurry.
A colleague behind him called him, "Master Chen, Master Chen, why are you so anxious?"
Minister Chen stopped and paused for a moment, then whispered, "I wonder if Master Du has heard of the movie theater?"
Master Du shook his head, but Master Zhou, who was passing by, couldn't help but interrupt, "The movie theater, everyone is talking about it recently. I also watched the trailer for the movie "Moon Landing", which is really a wonder of the world. I wonder if those people really landed on the moon in the end?"
Lord Chen nodded repeatedly, "That's right. I'm also curious about whether they landed on the moon. It happens to be released today. I asked my son to buy tickets and I'm going to see it."
Lord Zhou clapped his hands and regretted, "Why didn't I think of this method? I was thinking of buying tickets in person this afternoon. I wonder if I can still buy them."
Lord Du usually indulges in studying books and official duties. He has never heard of the cinema and didn't understand the topic of his two colleagues, but when he looked up, the people around him seemed to be discussing the cinema and the moon landing plan, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Minister Chen came out of the palace and didn't even go back to change clothes. He entered the cinema in his official uniform. When he saw Chen Yuning sitting in the rest area, he walked over quickly.
Chen Yuning was discussing the plot of "Moon Landing" with Xie Xu and the Prince of Jin, when Minister Chen patted him.
Chen Yuning was surprised, "Dad, you came here directly after the court?"
Minister Chen looked serious and asked, "Where are the tickets?"
Chen Yuning took them out of his pocket and handed them to him, "Dad, this movie is a little different from what we imagined."
Minister Chen looked even more nervous, "Don't tell me, I'll watch it myself."
All the way, entering Song'an Street, you can hear some key words such as "moon landing" and "spaceship" everywhere. Minister Chen blocked his ears for fear of being spoiled in advance.
Minister Chen took the ticket upstairs. Shuishan and Mingshi saw him in his official uniform and subconsciously wanted to run away. Harold stopped them and they realized that he was now a good citizen.
Qinzheng Palace.
Emperor Wu was reviewing memorials when Qin Mingde suddenly walked in, followed by a young eunuch in blue.
"How is it?" Emperor Wu put down the memorial.
The young eunuch had just returned from outside the palace. He looked a little dazed and seemed to have not come back to his senses. He knelt down and sorted it out for a while before whispering, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the "Moon Landing Plan"..."
After half an hour, the young eunuch's report was over.
Emperor Wu sat for a long time, "Qin Mingde, pass on my order to announce that the manager of the movie theater will come to the palace."
Qin Mingde was slightly surprised, but he was also quite curious about the movie theater. He took the imperial edict and left the palace in person.
