It snowed very thickly last night. Although it cleared up today, the weather was still dry and cold, and the snow did not melt much.
The harsh wind has driven frost and the grass has withered. The streets of the ancient capital have no color in this cold winter. Walking in the shade of the sycamore trees, the most sentimental place in late autumn, has long since lost its charm. The branches are covered with frost and snow, and melancholy has become graceful.
As cold as ice and snow.
Sumei is wearing white trousers and a red coat, with a snow-skinned face and a beautiful face. She is cool and noble and cannot be looked directly at; the little lady is in jeans, red leather shoes, a waist-cinching woolen windbreaker, and her delicate short hair covers her pink little face, she is pretty and cute.
, like a fairy boy descending to earth.
Two beauties, one big and one small, walked together and already attracted attention, and their bright clothes had a strong visual resonance with the silvery world. Along the way, these two people were unaware and immersed themselves in eating and drinking.
, little did they know that the two of them traveling together attracted so much attention that even two small traffic accidents occurred.
The movie theater wasn't very far away, so the two of them walked over as they had enough dinner.
"Wow!"
The little guy let out an exclamation of admiration, pointed at the huge poster hanging under the high wall of the cinema, and shouted: "It's really a martial arts movie, sister-in-law, look, that one is called Plum Blossom Pile. My elder brother has also practiced it, and it looks better than him."
Can you attract all the flowers..."
Nowadays, it is only 1983, and there is almost no pre-release publicity for domestic films. This visually impactful martial arts poster was naturally the idea given by Xue Laosan.
It's not that this guy wants to flutter his wings and meddle in everything, but according to the contract he signed with Emei Studios, the final box office of "The Master" is directly related to his share ratio.
At the beginning, it was agreed that the box office would not exceed 10 million, and he, Xue, would not take any of it; if it exceeded 10 million, but if it was less than 15 million, he, Xue, would take 20% of the income of the Emei Studio; if it exceeded 15 million, he would take 20% of the revenue.
, accounting for 30%.
Although Xue Laosan was confident that the quality of "The Master" was good, he had a disdain for the film industry and was timid when it came to the screening, so he racked his brains and came up with this idea based on later film promotions.
The idea of producing huge and sophisticated posters is to help "The Master" increase the box office as much as possible.
I didn't expect it, but the effect was pretty good. At least in Shuzhong, where it was first released, it was a hit at the first screening, and it didn't follow the slow-burning path of an unknown film.
But he said, the little guy just exclaimed. He suddenly saw the beautiful woman's nose twitching slightly, and quickly shrunk her neck, stuck out her tongue, and closed her mouth. The little guy didn't know that his sister-in-law was repaying her anger for the smelly elder brother.
It’s not gone.
It turned out that one month ago, because of what Xu Zi had done, Xue Xiang returned to Beijing overnight and entered the house without seeing his wife. Su Mei, with her arrogant temper, could not bear such indifference.
That night, on the helicopter, Xue Laosan talked to the whole family one by one. When it was Su Meiren's turn, his pretty daughter-in-law ignored her at all and went back to her room, causing Xue Laosan to be embarrassed.
.
Afterwards, Xue Laosan didn't call to apologize, but Su Meiren didn't answer the call at all.
Several times later, Xue Laosan was entangled in a mess in Yunjin New District. Naturally, he no longer had time to comfort his wife, and now the problem became bigger.
Although Su Meiren didn't answer Xue Laosan's phone calls several times, she finally felt a little bit of Xue Laosan's sincerity, and her anger somewhat subsided.
Unexpectedly, Xue Laosan suddenly stopped and stopped calling. Su Meiren was so angry that she wished she could make up a scarecrow of Xue Laosan and prick him with needles every day.
What's even more uncomfortable is that there are no calls from Xue Laosan's side, but Su Meiren here is worried, always wondering whether Xue Laosan is having second thoughts, or if something happened to Dejiang, and she really wants to call him.
, but couldn't save face, so angry and anxious, my teeth itched with hatred.
"Xue Shi, you're coming to see a movie too and you haven't bought a ticket. I'll ask my dad to give you one!"
The two beauties, one big and one small, were silent when a childish voice suddenly came from behind them.
Following the sound, I saw that the person speaking was a girl in bright clothes. She was about the same age as the little guy. Her hair was in braids, which made her chubby round face look even more round.
Surrounding the girl are a boy and a girl. The boy is in his mid-thirties and is wearing a rather elegant suit. His watch is very eye-catching and has a foreign code printed on it, making it obvious that it is an imported product. The girl's face is slightly fat but her makeup is bright.
, red coat, black leather shoes, in this era, looks extremely avant-garde.
A man and a woman, one on the left and one on the right, each holding the girl's hand, in the standard shape of a family of three.
"Thank you, I have a ticket!"
The little guy responded abruptly, muttering in his heart, "I don't want it from you."
"What a beautiful little girl, beautiful. Is she your classmate?"
The man suddenly started talking, but his peripheral vision kept scanning Su Meiren's face, and he couldn't help but secretly marvel: There is such a goddess as ice and snow in the world!
"Um!"
The girl nodded, glanced at the little guy, and her nostrils turned up.
"Hello uncle, hello auntie, my name is Xue Shi, I am Zhang Meili's classmate, and this is my sister-in-law!" The little guy introduced himself politely.
It turned out that the girl named Zhang Meili was in the same class as the little guy, but the two had always been at odds with each other. Zhang relied on the fact that her father was a state cadre and had great authority. The little girl had always been proud in the class and always fell in love with the poor girl in the class.
Show off in front of students,
The little guy has read too many martial arts novels and has not learned kung fu. However, he is very energetic and always stands up for other classmates. He often has trouble with this classmate.
Although the little guy never told his parents what he did, and he dressed simply in school, he brought food, drinks, and small toys that the whole class had never heard of. Invisibly, he was among the classmates.
, very popular, but Zhang didn’t have much confidence when facing the little guy. He was often pushed to the point where he couldn’t get off the stage, and he was very dissatisfied with the little guy.
Just now, classmate Zhang took the initiative to buy a ticket for the little man. It was not a kindness, it was just showing off.
It turns out that this time's "The Master" is extremely popular, and movie tickets are extremely difficult to buy. When Zhang saw the little girl wandering in front of the cinema, he thought she didn't get a ticket. In addition, the unit where his father worked happened to be
Linked to movies, Zhang is unique in this aspect, so he seizes the opportunity to show off.
Although the little guy disliked this classmate Zhang very much, the good habits he had developed over the years immediately became a reflection of his upbringing, and he still greeted classmate Zhang's parents politely.
But he said that after the little guy introduced himself, they both exchanged names. The man was called Zhang Guangbei and the woman was called Liu Yazhi.
"Su Fengxue, you live up to your name, good name, good temperament!"
Zhang Guangbei praised silently in his heart and said with a smile: "Comrade Su didn't buy the ticket, so I'll keep it with me, and someone will bring the ticket soon."
"My father is the director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, Xue Shi, you are lucky!"
Zhang Meili raised her head and spoke with a straight mouth.
Liu Yazhi lightly tapped Zhang Meili on the head and complained: "One moment, one moment, it's been too long. Xiao Wang is too unreliable in doing things. You just wait by yourself, and you want to trouble others to wait with you."
?" As he spoke, he reached out and quietly grabbed Zhang Guangbei behind his back.
They are an old couple. Su Yazhi naturally knows her husband very well. She can clearly detect a hint of surprise in his eyes. The young woman in front of her is graceful and charming. She can be said to be a man, but even a woman like her is shocked.
Can't take my eyes away.
"Thank you, little classmate. We are buying tickets, and we have three more tickets, so I will give them to you."
Su Mei saw Liu Yazhi's little moves but didn't take them seriously at all. However, due to this kind of hostility from the same sex, she has received too much in these years.
As for the awkwardness between the little guy and classmate Zhang, in her eyes, it was just a joke among children. Giving the tickets at this moment was partly out of politeness and partly to make fun of the little guy. Of course, it also meant to use waste.
Just when Liu Yazhi was about to decline politely, a young man with a flat head hurried forward and said breathlessly: "Zhang, Director Zhang, there are no more tickets. All the tickets are empty. Even the reserved tickets have been taken away. There are too many."
The boss wants votes, and even Director Sun’s grandson wants to see it, but he doesn’t have any votes.”
After a quick brushing, Zhang Guangbei's face turned dark. What could be more embarrassing than showing off his superiority in front of a beautiful woman?
"Beautiful classmate, I will give you the ticket. You will make good friends with us, Xiao Shi, in school."
With that said, Su Meiren put three movie tickets into classmate Zhang's jacket pocket, and said to Liu Yazhi: "The movie is about to start, let's go first!"
After talking, he took the little guy in hand and walked away with a graceful step.
"Fairy!"
Looking at Su Meiren's retreating back, Liu Yazhi spat softly, and suddenly caught sight of Zhang Guangbei's piercing eyes, and slapped him heavily on the shoulder, "My eyeballs fell off!"
"What are you so blind about? You don't know the child is here?" Zhang Guangbei scolded with a cold face.
Before Liu Yazhi could refute, she glanced at Zhang Meili with her mouth raised, but the last half of the sentence could not come out.
"I don't want to watch the movie anymore. I want to go back. Hum, you are not allowed to watch it either!"
Zhang Meili suddenly raised her face and shouted loudly.
Liu Yazhi touched Zhang Meili's head, stared at Zhang Guangbei and said coldly, "Look, our daughter has so much backbone, she is nothing like what you see..."
Before she finished her sentence, she saw Zhang Guangbei's cold face and choked up the last part of the sentence again. Even though Liu Yazhi was usually domineering at home, she knew who supported the family. Although she was a cadre of the Women's Federation, she was not as powerful as Zhang Guangbei.
She definitely didn't have the dignity to support the chief, so if Zhang Guangbei really got angry, she could only shrink her head.
With Zhang Guangbei's show, not only did Liu Yazhi lose her energy to make a fuss, but Zhang Meili also became more honest, and the family of three headed towards the cinema in dismay.
Cinemas in the 1980s were far less standardized than later generations. Even the well-known Xinming Cinema in the capital had a grand layout but a grassroots atmosphere.
When I entered the door, the movie had not started yet, and the lights were bright. Everything I looked at was gray. Unfortunately, the colors of Chinese clothing in this era were called dark blue, dark green, etc. They were all gray. In fact, the clothing was made like this.
This color is easy to understand. At this time, the Chinese people were not yet aware of fashion. They wore clothes for practical purposes, and dark-colored clothes were resistant to stains. (To be continued...)
