There were a lot of people coming to watch movies during the National Day holiday, and there were many young people and families at the door.
At the door, Chuxia and the others saw Bangzi's kids. They were no longer selling ice cream, but melon seeds, peanuts and soda, and many people were buying them.
Chu Xia and Cen Zhengnian didn't go over, so An An went to talk to them alone. Because the movie hadn't started yet, he helped a few kids sell things for a while.
When he came over, he was holding a paper bag of melon seeds and peanuts in his hand, and handed it directly to Chu Xia: "Mom, you eat it."
Chu Xia took it without hesitation and asked Cen Huaian: "Did you pay?"
"Brother Bang doesn't want it. He said it's for us."
"You have to give it to her too." Chu Xia asked An An to send the money back. She didn't know what he said to Bangzi. She only saw Bangzi frowning, looking at her, and taking the money.
After entering the cinema, Cen Huaian held Chu Xia's hand tightly and looked inside the cinema with curiosity.
He had never been to a movie theater before, and this one was so big and could accommodate so many chairs!
How are movies played? What is the big white cloth in the middle for
He had a lot of questions in his mind, but he didn't ask anything and just guessed randomly in his mind.
After Chuxia and Cen Zhengnian brought him to his seat, he sat in his seat and couldn't help turning his head back and forth, touching the chair here and there with his hands.
Chu Xia sensed his excitement, grabbed his naked hand, pointed at the large white cloth facing the family of three and said, "When the movie starts, pictures will appear on it. It's almost the same as watching TV at home, except the screen is bigger."
As she spoke, Cen Huaian's attention was already drawn to the white cloth, with a desire to explore in his eyes.
Chu Xia was about to say a few words about the principles of movie projection when Cen Zhengnian suddenly asked, "An An, do you want to know how movies are projected?"
Cen Huaian immediately turned to look at him and said "hmm" hesitantly.
Upon hearing this, Cen Zhengnian smiled, stood up from his chair, and pulled An An up as well, saying, "Then let's go see how the movie is played."
Cen Huaian's eyes lit up and he turned to look at Chu Xia. His eyes expressed only one meaning: he wanted to see.
Chu Xia waved her hand: "You guys go ahead."
Cen Zhengnian also reached out to Chu Xia: "Let's go together?"
Chu Xia shook her head: "I won't go. There will be too many people and the projectionist will be unhappy."
Seeing that she really didn't want to go, Cen Zhengnian didn't insist anymore. He took Cen Huaian's hand, walked out of the seat, and walked towards the projectionist in the middle.
At that time, movies were shown by a projectionist who sat in the middle of the cinema, taller than the people's heads, operating a projector.
When Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian went there, there were many children gathered there, all of whom were curious about the projector and the movies.
When Cen Zhengnian went over to ask, the projectionist said in a good-natured way, "Go ahead and watch it. You can only look at it, but you can't touch it."
The projectionist must have a good temper, otherwise there wouldn't be so many children around him. If the projectionist had a bad temper, he wouldn't let anyone get close to him.
Cen Huaian looked at the projector next to the projectionist and thought it looked weird. There were many things on it that he didn't recognize. He would leave after watching the movie.
