Chapter 177 A Beautiful Woman Who Combines All the Elements of Romance and Beauty
Until then, Yu Minhong began to look at the big screen in front of the cinema.
La la la la la...
Following a series of la la la songs.
Alain Delon, riding a white horse and carrying a cowboy hat, galloped from far to near in a gray desert...
Soon, as the plot unfolded, this film "Zorro", co-produced by Italy and France, immediately aroused the audience's dream of Western heroes.
At this moment, Jiangshan stared at the scene on the big screen.
Every time he distinguished the familiar dubbing voice of the dubbing studio in the movie, he couldn't help but smile.
Compared to Jiangshan's special attraction, the audience in the cinema cared more about the scene when Zorro, wearing black clothes and a black horse, appeared waving a whip.
Especially when the letter "Z" appeared under Zorro's sword after a few swipes, everyone felt the pleasure of being a masked hero.
"Ruhua, this guy is so handsome." Jiangchuan beside him has been completely fascinated by Zorro on the screen.
"Yeah," Ruhua nodded seriously, "especially when riding a horse."
"Do you know how old he is?" Jiangshan turned his head and joined the girls' conversation.
"How old?"
"40."
"Ah."
"Really?"
"Take a close look at his face," Jiangshan whispered, "Are the wrinkles on his face not obvious?"
"It's true now that you mention it," Ying Ruhua said in the dark, with her eyes wide open.
"He's still so handsome at 40," Jiangchuan also lowered his voice, "He must have been more handsome when he was young."
Jiangshan said nothing more.
It is undeniable that Alain Delon is indeed a handsome man who only appears once in a century.
Especially in the movie "Zorro", his image is even more amazing.
When the nearly two-hour film ended, several people, including Jiangshan, were still reluctant to leave.
"Everyone take a break first,"
At this moment, Jiang He took the initiative to say: "Come back in 20 minutes."
"Brother," Jiang Shan stretched his waist and walked out: "You should say that everyone should move around for a while and then sit down again."
"Ha, brother is right,"
Jiang Chuan pushed Ruhua's shoulders and walked out: "We have been sitting for more than two hours."
The tide of people poured out of the cinema.
The people waiting outside the venue looked at their still excited expressions eagerly.
"From now on, we will not beat innocent people."
"Let me show you a fair verdict."
"..."
Among the people walking and chatting, from time to time someone would reach out his hand to fencing in the air.
At this moment, a group of Jiang's family were surrounding an ice cream stand in the cinema square.
A strong and powerful auntie was carrying a large wooden box on a 28-bar.
In the hot summer, there were at least three or four mobile stalls like this.
After seeing the customer coming to the door, the aunt lifted the small wooden board and opened the quilt in the wooden box, and immediately there was a burst of cool air.
Looking at the neatly arranged popsicles in the wooden box.
Jiangchuan took the lead and picked a red bean flavor, and the few people behind him also stretched out their hands happily.
According to the old habit before, no one rushed to pay with the second brother.
Looking at the crescent moon hanging overhead, even Jiangshan felt that there was no more beautiful midsummer night than watching a movie.
A group of people ate popsicles while watching the bustling crowd.
"See," Jiangshan had a hunch: "It is estimated that in a few days, the people will play with swords."
Jiangchuan on the side sucked the popsicle in his hand: "Where can I find a sword? It's not messy enough."
"Tsk, what branches, sticks..." Jiangshan seemed to have seen it: "Anyway, just wait and see."
Soon, it took only two popsicles.
Yu Minhong followed Jiang Shan and his family into the cinema without saying a word.
This time, his steps were much calmer than the first time.
"Brother Jiang, is the next movie the ghost movie you mentioned before?"
"Yeah," Jiang Shan nodded: "It's nothing, you'll know after watching it."
Like "The Ring", the next movie is "Painted Skin", one of the few Hong Kong movies that has scared the audience to death.
If we talk about the number one IP in the Chinese ghost movie industry, it must be "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
The ghosts, foxes, monsters and scholars described by Pu Songling have provided an endless source of creative inspiration for later film and television creators.
There are countless cases where the classic stories in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" have been adapted into film and television dramas.
Among them, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has been remade many times.
And in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", the only one that can be as famous as "A Chinese Ghost Story" in terms of influence is "Painted Skin" in the 40th chapter of the first volume.
No matter in which life, Jiang Shan has never seen this version of "Painted Skin".
However, I have heard about the amazingness of this film.
It is said that when it was shown at the Yanjing Workers' Cultural Palace, an old lady was scared to death on the spot.
After that, it was "put on the shelf" and hidden in the National Film Archive.
It was not until later that CCTV cut the 96-minute film directly to 74 minutes, and it was allowed to be broadcast on "Six Princesses".
The China Film Bureau at that time also cried out that it was wronged, after all, no one could predict a heart attack in advance.
But if you want to talk about amazingness, there are even more amazing things than this.
In 1961, the 26th World Table Tennis Championships was held in China for the first time.
When the China-Japan championship competition was underway, it was said that five listeners in Yanjing alone who had been waiting in front of the radio died of heart attacks.
Thinking of this, Jiangshan could not help but remind his younger sister: "If you are too scared, tell me and I will take you home."
"It's okay, brother, I..."
Suddenly, the lights in the theater dimmed.
Jiangchuan was obviously nervous for a moment, and then he became excited.
He grabbed Jiangshan and Ruhua with his left and right hands respectively: "It's started, it's started."
The audience who came to see this movie either came with curiosity about Hong Kong movies or came directly to seek excitement.
The reason is very simple. At this time, people have not seen real ghost movies.
You know, twenty years ago, even animated movies such as "The Nine-Colored Deer" and "Seeking Immortals" were delisted.
Not to mention the real-life movies of dancing gods and ghosts.
This movie shot in 1966 not only has rough picture quality and rich grains, but also has nothing to note about the soundtrack.
In Jiangshan's eyes, there is really no Hong Kong flavor.
It was not until the sexy female ghost, the heroine Zhu Hong, appeared that the iconic Hong Kong-style makeup was seen.
The plot of this "Painted Skin" is still very Pu Songling-like.
It is an ideological education film about a handsome scholar who meets a beautiful female ghost, then betrays his wife and is cut open by the female ghost to take out his heart.
It cannot compare with the twists and turns of the four-cornered love stories of Chen Kun and Zhou Xun in later generations.
However, the heroine Zhu Hong's beauty is definitely not comparable to Zhou Gongzi and Xiaoyanzi.
When Zhu Hong's close-up appeared on the big screen, a sound of hissing and whistling immediately rang out in the theater.
There were both men and women.
Even Jiangshan, who had seen countless beauties in later generations, was now fixed on the seat by the constantly flowing smoke waves of the beauty on the screen.
At this moment, the plot is at the stage where the pretty wild ghost hooks up with the handsome scholar.
Zhu Hong, with her charming eyes, is not only touching the heartstrings of the scholar with her every frown and smile.
The simple people had never seen such a scene before, and for a moment they almost forgot that they were watching a ghost movie.
Until the girl who was painting her skin suddenly turned around.
"Ah~"
"Oh my god!"
"Amitabha..."
The whole audience immediately screamed.
"Is the ghost gone, Ruhua?"
"I don't know!"
Jiangshan, who was still frightened a second ago, couldn't help laughing.
He turned his head to look at the two girls sitting next to him. Fortunately, they were smart.
Ghostly music sounded on the big screen, and at the same time as the gloomy picture, they had already covered their eyes.
Gradually, according to the plot analysis of the dialogue between the characters in the film.
The two girls tried to separate their tightly closed fingers, and bravely continued to watch the movie through their fingers.
Whenever they felt something was wrong, they quickly closed their fingers.
"Okay," Jiang Shan laughed at the side:
"With your courage, why do you two want to watch a horror movie? You two have perfectly avoided every exciting thing."
"Brother, keep talking," Jiang Chuan didn't think the other party was long-winded at all: "Every time you talk, I don't seem to be so scared."
"Tsk tsk, what's there to be afraid of? It's all fake."
As soon as Jiang Shan finished speaking, the whole audience burst into laughter again.
On the big screen, a bloody heart was being dug out of the chest alive.
There was no misplaced lens, let alone mosaic.
"Hiss," even Jiang Shan took a breath of cold air.
"Well,"
Yu Minhong, who was sitting on Jiang Shan's right, suddenly stuttered and pointed to the side next to him:
"Just now your second sister-in-law said that the director of this movie specially found a corpse to dig out the heart in order to shoot this scene..."
The voice became smaller and smaller after that, because the audience in the front row had turned their heads back several times in surprise.
Jiang Shan looked past Yu Minhong at his second brother and second sister-in-law next door.
I found that the two of them looked calm, looking at the big screen expressionlessly.
From time to time, the two of them would get close to chat for a few words.
However, they didn't look like a couple at all, just like two judges reviewing a film.
Just like that, when Zhu Hong on the big screen turned into a human skin and slid to the ground.
With the last exclamation of "Ah", tonight's film team-building activity of the Jiang family finally ended successfully.
"Oh my God,"
When walking down the steps of the cinema, Jiang Chuan's legs were still a little weak: "I was scared to death."
"Me too," Ying Ruhua's face regained some color after a while: "I haven't called mom for many years, and I really called enough tonight."
Several people who were traveling with her couldn't help but look at the little girl.
I found that Ruhua's expression was normal, and there was no trace of sadness.
Jiang Shan had long discovered that this girl never avoided mentioning her deceased parents, and every time she mentioned it, it was some happy past events.
It can also make friends around her get along more easily.
"What are you two afraid of?" Jiangshan was surprised: "How can you be scared even if you cover your eyes?"
"I'm just scared," the two girls made faces at each other: "But that ghost is really pretty."
"Yes, I think she's much prettier than Liu Xiaoqing."
"Pan Hong can't compare, brother, what do you think?"
"Ask your second brother, I'll take classmate Yu back to the newspaper office first."
After saying this, Jiangshan finally saw his bicycle in the vast sea of cars.
At this moment, the second brother's footsteps paused.
"Isn't the female ghost pretty?" Lv Xiao's voice seemed to echo from the depths of the void.
"What's so beautiful about her? She looks like a ghost."
After Jiang He finished speaking, he glanced at the back of the third brother.
Jiang Shan suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and refused to look back.
The female ghost in the film is of course beautiful, no matter who plays it.
Zhu Hong, who is known as a beautiful woman who combines romance, love, and beauty, can be said to be a rich lady who grew up with a super golden spoon in her mouth.
Her family not only opened a gold shop and a bank in Kunming, but also rented out shops covering more than a dozen streets.
Her father was the confidant of the famous "King of Yunnan" Long Yun.
When Long Yun was under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek, it was his father and Chen Nade who risked their lives to rescue him.
Ten years later, this incident was made into a feature film "Long Yun and Jiang Jieshi" by the Bayi Film Studio.
It was such a lady with a distinguished background who could actually interpret a female ghost vividly.
She is really a good actor.
Unexpectedly, the first Hong Kong movie that attracted people's attention allowed everyone to appreciate the amazing beauty of Hong Kong movie actresses.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shan, who was riding a bicycle, couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Jiang, what are you laughing at?"
Yu Minhong, who was sitting in the back of the car, asked hurriedly. He had been bothering since the afternoon and felt embarrassed.
"Nothing, I suddenly remembered the way everyone screamed in the cinema."
"I was also shocked at that time," said 17-year-old Yu, who had never seen such a movie: "When I go back, I must talk to my mother about this."
"I guess your movie will be released soon."
"How can she bear to go to the cinema to watch a movie."
"Do you know the way to the station?" Jiang Shan asked with concern: "Do you need me to take you there tomorrow?"
"No need to bother, Brother Jiang," Yu Minhong said hurriedly: "I can find it myself."
"Okay,"
As he spoke, the Oriental Metropolis Daily had arrived.
Jiangshan pointed to the lighted room on the third floor: "See that room? That's the night editor's duty room of the newspaper. I've already said hello. You can just go up directly."
"Okay, OK,"
Yu Minhong touched the Jiefang bag on his back and looked at Jiangshan with gratitude: "Brother Jiang... I will memorize all these questions after I go back. Next year, I will definitely be admitted to university."
That's even necessary. It would be strange if I didn't pass the exam.
"Okay, then I wish you and me all the best." Jiangshan waved his hand: "Hurry up and go in. You have to get up early tomorrow!"
Sure enough, when Comrade Jiangshan entered the newspaper again the next day, he could no longer see the figure of classmate Yu Minhong.
When passing by several empty classrooms on the third floor, Jiangshan couldn't help but stop and look for a long time.
"Foreign-funded enterprises open foreign language cram schools..."
While muttering to himself, he suddenly heard someone calling his name downstairs:
"Section Chief Jiang, where is Section Chief Jiang, Jiangshan!"
It was the voice of editor-in-chief Jiang Hai, and Jiangshan quickly responded upstairs.
He didn't realize it at the moment, but the entire Pujiang City news media was in chaos.
