Xiaoguanghandianying Museum Review

On the corner of Jinan Jingsan Road, there is an art restaurant full of movie elements, which has a poetic name Xiaoguanghan. It is obviously a restaurant, but it is named the Film Museum by Jinan's cultural department. The number 1904 on the main building of the hotel reveals its origin. The Baroque building was built in 1904 as the second cinema in the country, but is now the oldest existing cinema in the country. At that time, the film was an art form for the citizens like the Moon Palace, which was "high and cold". Ordinary people looked down on it at all, so they took the meaning of "Guanghan". However, because it is located in the folk, the word "small" is used to express the meaning of metaphor, distinguishing the legendary Moon Palace. The restaurant uses the name of Xiaoguanghan, which echoes the name. Before Xiaoguanghan Nirvana was born, it was a bumpy experience. It was once as dilapidated as the private house next to it, adjacent to the public toilet, and once used as a sanitary center. Since 2008, Xiaoguanghan has been transformed for three years. After its completion in 2011, its unique film theme design and elegant decorations and tableware have been praised by visitors. The restaurant displays 3,000 famous old film films at home and abroad, from "The Fury" to "Little Flower", from "The Caravan" to "The First Blood", all of which are bought by the boss from the country and all over the world, and each tableware is custom made and hand-forged by Italy. Even every piece of furniture is imported from abroad. On the east side of the hall, there is a pillar, the first half is painted pale yellow, the second half is painted red, and many places have fallen off, giving people a sense of vicissitudes. The stairs on the second floor on both sides of the hall, the red wooden stair railings are also part of the old building. The blue bricks of Puli Street and the bluestones of Weijiazhuang are also well used in Xiaoguanghan. Touching, the cold stones have the feeling of blood flowing, as if they can smell the smell of life cycle. The entire restaurant has nearly 200 old-fashioned movie projectors, large and small. These machines, from the Great Wall, Yangtze River, Liberation and other brands commonly used in domestic cinemas in that year, to Siemens, which were bought from abroad, have almost disappeared in China, and many are precious collections. It contains many collection stories from the boss. Three large projectors in the collection were collected from a theater in Heze. At that time, the boss was afraid of being bought by others, and before he saw the goods, he asked his friend to pay more than 100,000 yuan. When he went to receive the goods, he was stupid. When he first built the theater, he put the machine first and then built the theater. If you want to dismantle these three machines, you can only demolish the house and then transport the machine out. Such a toss, the three machines arrived in Jinan smoothly. There is also a Siemens film projector 100 years ago, which the boss bought back from Germany. Although it is old, it is still very troublesome to go through customs procedures. So the boss dismantled the machine into different parts and shipped back to China in batches. It took more than a year before and after, and it was not until the last part of the machine before the Spring Festival this year that the lens cover was returned with good luck. On the second floor corridor of the restaurant, a beautifully carved beam lamppost was swirled across the corridor. This beam wood was also collected by the boss from an old house in Guangzhou. The carved beam painting building above also retains the original beam wood, after careful design, become a very valuable artwork.
