In the screening room, many viewers had red eyes and applauded.

In fact, for many young people, the sense of substitution for the story of "Flag Raising" is not so strong. After all, that era is a bit long ago, and even their parents have not been born yet, so when watching this story, it always seems to be a hazy feeling like a layer of gauze.

But when the song "My Motherland and I" sung by Yu Caiwei sounded, this layer of gauze seemed to be slowly unveiled with the song, and the historical weight of that era and the contemporary patriotic feelings converged together, and the emotions of the audience surged up all at once.

It can only be said that the decision of the crew of "Memories of My Motherland" to choose this song composed by Ye Zhiqiu and to have Yu Caiwei sing it was extremely correct.

An excellent theme song is not just a icing on the cake for a movie, but can even play a vital positive role.

The first story ended, and the film continued to play, and soon came to the story unit starring Ye Zhiqiu-"Women's Volleyball".

The story is not complicated. It records the process of the Chinese women's volleyball team fighting hard and winning the championship in the Olympic Games. However, director Zhao Jinglun did not shoot directly from the perspective of the stadium. Instead, he was ingenious and witnessed this glorious moment from the third-person perspective of a resident of a small town in the northwest of China.

In the plot, Ye Zhiqiu is a young teacher who has just started working. When the movie plays the clip of innocent and plain-dressed students playing in the elementary school campus, the song "Childhood" sounded.

[...On the swing beside the playground

Only butterflies rest on it

The teacher's chalk on the blackboard

Still chirping and writing non-stop...]

This song was temporarily added to the movie by director Zhao Jinglun after he heard Ye Zhiqiu's singing.

For this reason, Zhao Jinglun even made some changes to the plot of the movie.

Unlike the older "flag-raising" story, it is obvious that young audiences are more familiar with the picture depicted in this song and are easier to substitute.

Playing marbles, catching cicadas, and spinning tops are all games that many people born in the 1990s have played.

In the story, after the song ended, the young teacher Ye Zhiqiu, who was off work, rode his 28-inch bicycle and rushed back home in order to catch up with the women's volleyball match.

In the residential area, Zhang Yanni, who played Ye Zhiqiu's sister in the play, asked everyone to move the heavy square TV out of the main road. A large group of people gathered in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast of the women's volleyball match, and the atmosphere was lively.

The TV signal was not good, and the picture was intermittent. Ye Zhiqiu ran to the rooftop to tinker with the signal pole skillfully.

It was hard to get the position right, but as long as he moved slightly, the TV signal would be cut off.

Seeing this, many viewers in the theater smiled knowingly. In fact, this scene is not unfamiliar to those born in the 1980s and 1990s, especially those who grew up in rural areas.

In the past, the TV at home did not need to install a cable TV set-top box to receive programs, but relied on installing a silver cooking pot-like thing, that is, a satellite dish.

A satellite dish is a satellite TV receiver that can search for many channels, but it also has a disadvantage that the signal is not so stable, and the direction needs to be adjusted manually from time to time.

In fact, the working principle of this satellite dish is to receive electromagnetic wave signals emitted by satellites, and most satellites are located above the equator, so in the northern hemisphere of China, the satellite dish needs to be placed southward to receive the best signal.

The audience enjoyed these "nostalgic" scenes, and Ye Zhiqiu, who played himself, had already known the development of the plot and had no interest in it. He was quietly chatting with Yu Caiwei beside him.

"Didn't you see this kind of satellite dish for TV when you were a child?"

Yu Caiwei shook her head, and Ye Zhiqiu asked again: "Where is the kerosene lamp? The kind with a round glass lid."

Yu Caiwei still shook her head, and Ye Zhiqiu asked several things in succession.

"Honeycomb coal, silver flashlight, foot-operated sewing machine..."

Yu Caiwei thought for a moment and whispered, "I've seen pictures, but never used them."

Ye Zhiqiu thought so too. This girl grew up in the city and was pampered. It was normal that she had never seen them.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "These things are hard to find now. I guess they are only available in rural areas."

"I remember that there are houses in the village where my family lives. I'll take you back to see them..."

Speaking of this, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly remembered something and slapped his head and said, "No, I guess there are no houses in my hometown. The old houses have been demolished and new ones have been built."

Yu Caiwei said, "Call your uncle and aunt later to see if there are any left."

Ye Zhiqiu shrugged and said, "It's a long shot. My dad probably used them asAll the waste has been processed."

"But speaking of this new house, it's really thanks to your advice at the time. At the beginning, my parents were just pretending to push it back and forth. After the construction started, they were more diligent than anyone else, and they went back twice in three days to check the progress."

"Now that it's built, we haven't seen it yet. I heard from my mother that we will move into the house this year. Then we will go back and take a look. "

Yu Caiwei smiled slightly, took Ye Zhiqiu's arm and nodded.

While the two chatted quietly, the plot of the film moved forward very quickly.

After the story of "Women's Volleyball" starring Ye Zhiqiu ended, several other stories were released one after another.

Several independent story units present several important moments since the founding of the country from a special perspective, with emotions such as excitement, joy, magnificence, pride...

At the end of the film, the audience in the screening room gave warm applause.

Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Caiwei also stood up and applauded. When they left, they heard many audiences around them talking about the film just now.

"It feels pretty good, the stories are all well told, and there is a sense of nostalgia."

"Yeah, I like the story about the atomic bomb explosion the most. It's so touching. The actor Zhang Han's acting is really good."

"I think this story is so heavy. I still like the one about the women's volleyball team the most. The atmosphere is more relaxed and it's quite funny. ”

“I knew that you would definitely choose this one since Ye Zhiqiu is in it.”

“Hehe, with Ye Zhiqiu in the role and the songs he sings, it’s perfect.”

“However, Ye Zhiqiu is really handsome and his acting skills are not bad. Apart from Zhang Han, he impressed me the most in the whole movie...”

Listening to the audience’s discussion, Ye Zhiqiu felt that the “Women’s Volleyball” chapter was mentioned quite a lot, and it is estimated that its reputation and popularity ranking in several stories will not be low.

Walking out of the theater, it was raining heavily outside without knowing when.

Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Caiwei came by car, so it didn’t affect them much. Some audiences were trapped in the mall, and the young couple sitting in front of them in the theater just now was one of them.

The couple thought that the heavy rain would not stop for a while, and it was useless to wait like this. Anyway, they couldn’t play in the scenic spots behind in the rain. The boy slapped his thigh and simply watched another movie.

——“No Man’s Land”!
