Chapter 489 "Kyushu Past 2: Forging Ahead" (1)

After more than half a year of filming and post-production, in December 1991, "Kyushu Stories 2: The Journey Ahead" was finally scheduled to be officially released on the 7th of this month.

Thanks to the efforts of Su Yun and relevant departments in mainland China, some cities in the Soviet Union were added to the simultaneous release areas this time. Actually, before the first part of "Jiuzhou Past" was prepared for release, because it was filmed in the Soviet Union and there were Soviet actors joining in, there was a chance to add the Soviet part. Unfortunately, things don't always go as one wishes, and after some links were stuck for one or two times, the release date had to be postponed a bit.

This time, Vasily Lannovoi, who played the adult Ivan, had a very important role. In addition, there had been undercurrents in the Soviet Union recently, so after many negotiations, they finally convinced the relevant departments of the other party to introduce "Kyushu Past 2: Forge Ahead" in time.

In the view of relevant Soviet departments, although the story of "Nine States Past 2: Forge Ahead" is a bit too pessimistic, if it can serve as a reminder of the current chaos, perhaps the current panic situation can be reversed through a change in thinking.

Sometimes, blindly obeying or criticizing cannot reverse the surging undercurrents. Then we should simply let those who like chaos see the final outcome of chaos, and use this as a wake-up call to ring in everyone's hearts.

Compared to Hong Kong where people can still wear thin long clothes in winter, the Soviet Union in early December is already covered with snow. In a small village near a big city, Vladimir took advantage of today's rest day and took his wife Valeriya and little daughter Aelita to the town's cinema to watch a movie as a family pastime during the holiday.

The snow and wind today don't seem to be very strong, and we can even see the sun occasionally. It looks like it will be a pretty good day.

The thick cotton clothes kept out the cold, and the family of three drove to the cinema in a short time.

"Let's see if there are any new movies this week..." Valeriya was very troubled by the recent chaos in the big cities, especially in September, when the news of the three Baltic countries' declaration of independence caused a wave of turmoil that lasted for several months. Even the small villages and towns here seemed to be affected by these waves, causing panic among the people.

Even a small village like theirs was affected, which made her even more worried about her eldest son who was going to study in a university far away.

"Don't worry about him. Andrei is a smart and strong child. If something really happens, he will know what to do." Vladimir gently advised his wife, holding his little daughter who was looking up at the movie poster curiously.

"You're right, I'm just... a little affected by recent events, so I can't help but think about it..." Vacheria pressed her forehead and smiled to show that she was feeling better.

"That's why I brought you here to watch a movie. We've introduced a lot of new movies recently..." Vladimir said, "Come on, which one do you want to watch?"

Although the recent increase in entertainment projects seems peaceful, Vladimir, who had just persuaded his wife, had other thoughts in his mind: there is always unusual calm before the storm, and the opening of so many entertainment projects seems to be that the people above want to appease them to prevent the already unstable situation from getting worse.

As a result, any movie that meets the import standards has passed the review and is imported from thousands of places.

However, due to the increase in quantity, the work of re-dubbing in the later stage could not keep up. Among the "Latest Movie Recommendations of the Week" in front of me, at least half of them are original audio with subtitles.

Anyway, their voice-over that sounds like subtitles really affects the viewing experience...

However, because of the "original soundtrack" issue, he would have to pick movies that are easy to watch - his little daughter Aelita is only nine years old this year, so he has to take her level into consideration.

"Dad, I want to see this, it's starring Paul, I want to see it!" Just as Vladimir was still carefully examining the contents of the movie posters, Aelita immediately pointed at a poster and shouted.

Vladimir followed his daughter's instructions and saw that the poster really had a large portrait of Vasily Lannovoy - Vasily Lannovoy had starred in the movie "Paul Korchagin" and was a well-known national treasure actor in the Soviet Union. The movies with his participation were generally not bad.

Let’s take a look at the full poster: Well, this is the second part of the movie he watched last year, which tells the history of China. According to the sequence, it should indeed talk about the story of China and the Soviet Union in those years.

It just so happens that although there is a bit of awkwardness between the two sides at present, the Soviets and the Chinese really had a good relationship back then. The days when they worked hand in hand to create glory are the most unforgettable memories of their generation's youth.

"This one?" Vladimir looked at his wife and asked.

"Let's take this one. I also had exchanges with them in the past and I know a little Chinese, which will make it easier for me to explain to Aelita." Vacheria nodded and agreed to this choice.

After confirming the movie to be watched today, Vladimir went to buy movie tickets and snacks, and went to the corresponding theater with his wife and daughter.

Along the way, Vacheria briefly explained the plot of the first part of "Kyushu Past" to her little daughter Aelita before the movie officially started.

Aelita nodded. "So this is the movie of the companions of those uncles and aunts across the street? No wonder the heroine on the poster looks a bit like those uncles and aunts across the street, but she looks really beautiful, and her clothes are more colorful than theirs."

"Because the clothes the heroine wears are from a distant era. It's like your grandmother's grandmother's clothes were very bright and colorful. But now their lives are not so good, so they have to be simple." Vacheria explained softly to her little daughter.

Their home was near the border, and they could occasionally see Chinese people across the long river.

Therefore, even though the situation has changed, the friendly attitude between the two sides has not changed much due to their "friendship" across the river.

"Is that so? Will they wear those bright and beautiful clothes again in the future?" Aelita asked expectantly.

"I don't know if it will happen, but if they can live a good life, they will probably wear those traditional and beautiful national costumes again." Vacheria thought about it and was looking forward to such a day.

After all, although good things may be temporarily lost in the long river of history, if someone still remembers it, it will never disappear quietly.

Just like their generation always remembers the friendship of the past.

As he said this, the movie was about to start.

Behind the title of "Kyushu Past 2: Forging Ahead" is a series of chaotic sounds. The black curtain of the big screen gradually draws a long horizontal line in the middle, and when this horizontal line spreads in both directions, it is like an eye awakened by the chaotic sounds, and the picture that created the sound enters the eyes of everyone in the theater as the eyes "open".

A long-planned chaos broke the long peaceful years in Central China. The new leader of "Jong Kook" who had just taken office was no longer the high-spirited and noble one at the end of the previous part. The back of the person who stood silently on a high place and watched the chaos below was indescribably thin and haggard.

The gorgeous and majestic clothes of the past now seem like a burden that is too large and heavy, pressing on the frail body, just like this region and this country, which appear to be as prosperous and healthy as before - in fact, this is simply relying on such a seemingly normal shell to barely support the already broken inner body.

Why did it turn out like this?!

Not only those who have watched the first part, but even those who have not watched the first part, subconsciously had this thought at the first moment.

But soon, those who knew a little about historical records were shocked and recalled with complicated emotions the reasons why things had developed to this point.

At the same time, the scenes in the movie seem to be telling, through Zhong Yao's complex gaze, some helplessness that even if one has tried one's best, one still cannot change the situation.

Moreover, under this heavy pressure, she also did some things that she knew she shouldn't do, but she couldn't help but be tempted.

"Look, this is the outcome you caused!" The youngest brother, Zhong Hao, broke free from his restraints and angrily looked at everything in front of him, as well as the person in front of him who was immersed in grief and regret. "It's not just me. Father has also said a long time ago that those people are not good people..."

"And our mainland has been too comfortable to make progress since a certain point in time, and has gradually fallen behind the progress of the world."

"The ending is already clear - if you continue to insist on being 'self', you will only end up in destruction!"

"This is the retribution for not wanting to believe us and not wanting to believe in our teachings!"

Seeing the slightest movement of the frail figure, Zhong Hao held back his tears and glanced at his other two brothers and sisters who had been taken away from them for a long distance.

"Now, we have to leave..." Although he managed to break free from the shackles and vent his emotions, he was going to leave his hometown and not know when to return. Now he had scolded and complained, but the man in front of him, who he didn't know if he could stand up again, didn't respond, so he didn't know what the future would be like...

"If you still want us to come back, then don't give up on yourself and stand up again - only in this way can we change this ending of destruction and continue everything our ancestors have created for us..."

"Wake up!"

Otherwise, this farewell will be forever.
