A film series in the Republic of China: The legendary Taoist priest in Shanghai

Chapter 191 Open Air Movie



Chapter 191 Open Air Movie

It is a troublesome thing that the film cannot be released in Shanghai after it is made.

"Why don't we just have an open-air movie?"

Wencai remembered that before he traveled through time, there were often open-air movie showings in the countryside when he was a child.

When summer comes, it is one of the great pleasures of life to sit outdoors and drink soda while watching movies on a screen.

"Good idea, how do you sell the tickets?"

Huang Jing doesn't care about the box office, he just wants to complete the task.

But Wencai was the investor and spent another 10 million to invest in the film and television city.

It's unacceptable to make a movie but not sell tickets.

"It's okay, I'll figure it out."

Then Lai Wencai instructed Liang Runsheng to purchase a large number of projectors and select more than a dozen open-air venues in various places.

It took a week of hard work to complete the open-air cinema.

The first day of screenings begins.

Zhabei District is the slum area in Shanghai, with the most vacant land and the largest number of poor people.

Wencai opened four open-air venues.

People have nothing to do at night, so when they hear there are free movies to watch, they all become interested.

Going to the movies was not uncommon during the Republic of China, but a movie that cost only one or two yuan was still daunting for most people.

Most of the poor people here have never seen a movie.

As soon as they saw there was a movie to watch, they gathered around.

Each open-air venue can accommodate thousands of people.

The four open-air venues in Zhabei District can accommodate more than 5,000 people.

Not only in Zhabei District, but also in Shikumen, Huangpu, Si Tiaomalu Public Concession, French Concession, etc., there were open-air cinemas.

Zhabei, an open-air cinema.

The place was packed with people coming to watch the movie.

No one would come to see it for free.

Next came advertisements for Beauty brand cigarettes, Beef Liver Extract, Tiger Balm, Vanishing Cream, etc.

If people in later generations saw advertisements, they would definitely get impatient.

In the Republic of China, even the poor enjoyed watching advertisements.

Especially the Beauty brand cigarettes, a bunch of beautiful women in cheongsams with long white legs, jumping and shaking their cigarettes.

Many grown men who had never seen a thigh dance in their lives almost had nosebleeds.

The main film begins.

The story begins with Sun Wukong returning from his journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and then getting married and having children.

Wencai felt that this was totally unreasonable.

Sun Wukong has already become a Buddha, so how can a monk marry and have children?

Isn't this a spoof?

It's neither reasonable nor logical.

But for the Republic of China, where the illiteracy rate reached 90%, even if you become a god, you should marry a wife and have sons.

If you want to carry it hard, a bunch of people will fan you and carry you.

Lord Guan is also a Buddha, doesn’t he also have Guan Sheng?

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King is also a guardian of Buddhism and has three children.

Why can’t our Great Sage marry and have children?

Then Sun Xiaosheng went to visit the Kingdom of Women and fell in love with the Queen of Women.

This is also in line with the mainstream spirit of the Republic of China.

Nowadays in the Republic of China, whether it is novels, movies, operas or storytelling, they all talk about love, and they have to be in love to the point of dying and wanting to live again.

If you don't talk about the passionate, life-and-death, earth-shattering and soul-stirring love story, you can't say this is a big production.

The audience watched with great interest.

I have to say that Director Huang is good at filming.

He added a little bit of hair to the little monkey king, which not only did not make him look weird, but instead highlighted Chen Long's handsomeness.

The Queen of the Kingdom, played by Ren Zhuzhu, is also beautiful and pure.

At the climax, Ren Zhuzhu also sang a song called "Daughter's Love".

Especially the line in the middle: "Under the moon, I asked the Great Sage if my daughter was beautiful."

It was so sensational that the audience was immediately intoxicated.

At this moment, the Japs entered the city with bayonets pointed.

As for why the devil appeared in the Kingdom of Daughters, a voice said: "It has been a thousand years since then, and it was the period of the Anti-Japanese War in the Republic of China."

The devils shouted "Baga Baga" and pounced into the pile of beauties in the Kingdom of Women like wolves and tigers.

"Flower girl's job!"

The audience got excited.

"Damn it, the Japanese are so evil. They invaded the three northeastern provinces and even the Kingdom of Women. The next step is probably to attack the Lingxiao Palace and play with the Seven Fairies."

The little monkey king Sun Xiaosheng came out to save the beauty.

The Japanese soldiers were beaten one by one with a stick, and they cried for their fathers and mothers.

The audience applauded.

At the climax, the advertisement suddenly came again.

"Beauty brand cigarettes, the fragrance is like the lips of a beauty."

Five minute commercial break.

Sun Xiaosheng and the colonel began to confront each other.

"My staff is the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff, which is two meters and four centimeters long and weighs eighteen thousand kilograms. It was made by Han Hai of the East China Sea."

"Baga, my samurai sword is made of Mantra alloy, one meter and three centimeters long, and weighs five hundred kilograms. Once this sword is unsheathed, it must drink human blood before it can be sheathed again."

The two started to act cool.

After saying this, the sound of swords and sticks clashing and metal clanging continued for a long time.

After he finished speaking, the colonel was stabbed from the front to the back by the golden hoop.

It was so spooky, the audience was excited.

"Haha, to fight the devils, we still have to rely on the Great Sage and the Little Sage."

"Yes, no matter how powerful the Japanese planes are, they can't be faster than the Somersault Cloud."

Happiness only lasts three seconds.

The colonel stood up and said, "You are too ignorant. I will show you how powerful the imperial army is."

A cloud of black smoke rose up, and when it dissipated, the colonel turned into a white skeleton monster.

"Hey, my cat is here, the devil has turned into a white-bone demon."

The audience exclaimed.

In the movie, Sun Xiaosheng was also shocked and said, "White Bone Demon, you are actually the White Bone Demon, weren't you beaten to death by my father, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"

The White Bone Demon began to talk nonsense involuntarily.

He talked about how his ancestor, White Bone Patriarch, failed to capture Tang Monk and went to Japan.

Then he married many witches and gave birth to many little white-bone demons.

And he is the 99th generation White Bone Demon, Colonel Tsuyoshi Fujita.

Sun Xiaosheng started fighting with the White Bone Demon again.

The fight was more exciting this time, especially since the White Bone Demon knew many spells.

It can fly, generate electricity, and take photos of objects from mid-air.

After a fight, Sun Xiaosheng was tied up by the White Bone Demon with a rope.

Sun Xiaosheng was captured in the Japanese dungeon and tortured, forcing him to reveal how he practiced the Seventy-Two Transformations.

At this time, the Queen of the Kingdom of Daughters used the beauty trap.

Then it was very pornographic and violent...

Many parents covered their children’s eyes and watched the video by themselves.

Finally, thanks to the sacrifice of the Queen of Daughters, Sun Xiaosheng was rescued.

Killed the White Bone Demon, Osamu Fujita Tsuyoshi.

The Queen of Daughters also committed suicide out of shame and anger.

In the end, Sun Xiaosheng rushed towards the island country with the Ruyi Jingu Staff.

There are still countless descendants of the White Bone Demon there.

There is even the ancestor of the White Bone Demon, the first White Bone Ancestor.

End.

The movie ends.

The audience remained silent for a long time.

The movie has too much impact.

Especially the White Bone Demon and the Queen of the Kingdom of Women.

A beautiful fair-skinned girl is entangled with a scary skeleton monster.

The contrast between the demon and the beauty is stark.

In addition, when the Queen of the Kingdom of Women and Sun Xiaosheng were talking about love just now, the audience all put themselves into the shoes of Sun Xiaosheng.

The scene where the Queen of Daughters was raped by the demon broke the hearts of many viewers.

I wish I could draw my sword, rush to the island and fight the Japanese.

"Hit the devils' heads with your sword."

From time to time he took the lead in singing.

One, two, three...

Throughout the open-air cinema, the voices of thousands of people merged into one.

This scene was repeated in a dozen open-air cinemas.

After a few days, people in Shanghai would discuss the movie "The Kingdom of Women VS the White Bone Demon" whenever they met.

Some people are not satisfied after watching it once, and watch it several times, even dozens of times.

At this time, Wencai also converted the Yonghui Grand Theater from the White Bone Demon Exhibition Hall into a cinema.

The movie about White Bone Demon started playing.

But it’s not free, and the ticket costs ten yuan for the ad-free and unabridged version.

Yonghui Theater is much smaller than the Lanzhou Theater. The Lanzhou Theater can seat several thousand people and is the largest theater in Shanghai.

Yonghui is a small venue that can only seat a few hundred people.

Ten yuan is half a month's salary for an ordinary worker.

But even so, there were still many foreigners, foreign compradors, and wealthy people from Shanghai who came to watch the movie.

After seeing it, the foreigners were all amazed.

The story of the White Bone Demon quickly became popular among foreigners.

When this film was released, Wencai specially added Eagle language subtitles in order to promote it in the foreign circle.

So foreigners can understand it too.

The Japanese are the White Bone Demon, and now even the foreigners believe it.

As for truth and rationality, most people have no ability to distinguish.

This is also the purpose of Wencai and Huang Jing.

Create a mask of the White Bone Demon for the Japanese.

Everyone is subtly led to believe that the Japanese are not human but monsters.

This is very stupid, but most people in the Republic of China were brainless and just applauded and cheered.
