At this point, the endless flow of bicycles on the streets of Pujiang City has shown the potential of the bicycle kingdom.
Occasionally, you can see a few brightly colored women's bicycles carrying fashionable hostesses passing by.
That stance is comparable to the BMW 3 Series of later generations.
The business hours of Pujiang Department Store have come. According to past experience, this is not the time to pick up customers.
You can see it from a distance, hanging on every counter are tags displaying the varieties for sale.
The salespersons stood at the counter one after another, chatting in low voices about the latest news and troubles in each store.
Compared with the previous two years, their range of movements can be considered very restrained.
Suddenly, a young gay man hurriedly walked to the toy counter.
After stopping, the gay man looked at the iron clockwork frog and colorful small balls in the glass counter...
Then, he asked the female salesperson: "Comrade, do you have Sun Wukong toys for sale?"
The skilled female salesperson immediately replied: "No."
The gay man still didn't give up: "What about Zhu Bajie?"
"nor."
After hearing the salesperson's decisive answer, the gay man left with a disappointed look on his face.
Before the gay man could completely disappear, another gay man several years older rushed over.
"Comrade, do you have any Sun Wukong toys from Havoc in Heaven?"
"There is no such toy."
"Any toys related to Journey to the West will do. My kid is clamoring for them!"
"None of them, comrade, why don't you take a look at this newly arrived building block?"
…
Throughout the day, at the toy counter of Pujiang Department Store, a customer would come over every once in a while to ask about toys from the movie "Havoc in Heaven."
"What's wrong today? I've asked you this 7 or 8 times," the female salesperson said curiously, "It seems like they are all looking for toys from "Havoc in Heaven"?"
"It's just that animated movie." Another salesperson was also a little surprised: "Does it exist in other shopping malls? I'll report it to the director later."
Not only in Pujiang Department Store, but also in all shopping malls and stores in Pujiang City, customers have inquired 7 or 8 times.
The same question comes up again and again: "Is there a Sun Wukong toy in the sky?"
It was also on this day that many citizens saw the news in the Pujiang Daily that the animated film "Up in the Sky" had won awards abroad.
Sun Wukong, holding a golden hoop in his hand, struck a stick from the sky. Prince Nezha, who was also wearing a miniskirt, was so frightened that he hid in a corner and refused to show up.
Just below this familiar movie picture, readers saw the dolls of the four male protagonists of Journey to the West.
They were posing in their own house-keeping postures, and with the support of the movie pictures, they suddenly felt like they had come from the screen to reality.
On the other side, reporters from Pujiang Daily were also not idle.
Jiang Hai sent two groups of people all the way to Pujiang Art Film Studio to dig out the behind-the-scenes stories of "Havoc in Heaven".
The other way went straight to Pujiang Translation Studio to interview the voice actors of this animated film.
"Xiaojiang,"
Lu Yi, the leader of the translation team who was lying beside the window, smiled and said: "Your colleagues from the two units have joined together."
"Hey, it's true!"
Jiang Shan was also lying on the window sill, looking at the reporters in front of the office building, busy taking pictures of the voice actor Kaka.
"By the way," Jiang Shan wanted to ask as soon as he arrived today: "Team Leader Lu, what happened to Sister Lu Xiao and my brother... did you already know about it?"
"Humph," Lu Yi glanced at Jiang Shan: "I saw it right from the beginning. What do you think your brother is doing here every day?"
Jiang Shan: “Watch movies and learn foreign languages!”
"Still learning foreign languages?" Lu Yi knocked on the tabletop of his desk: "Which one of you or me learned a foreign language from watching movies?"
Jiang Shan seemed to have discovered another problem: "Team Leader Lu, listening to your tone, do you object to the two of them being together?"
"No objection," Lu Yi quickly waved his hand: "Don't think nonsense, and you can't tell your parents nonsense when you go back. She is already 25 and should have gotten married long ago."
Jiang Shan immediately understood that it seemed that this second sister-in-law really couldn't escape.
In the evening, the direct sales stall of Jiangning Toy Factory officially opened in front of the big poster of "Havoc in Heaven" that had not been replaced by various movie theaters...
Factory Director Jiang, who thought there would not be many customers on the first day, still underestimated the people of Pujiang in 1978.
In this era when there are almost no entertainment materials, a toy suddenly appeared that was sold in conjunction with the movie, which immediately aroused the interest of the public.
Just like KFC's children's meal toys in later generations, even if you know that this toy will be offline within two days in the hands of children.
But, if you can’t stand it, it has quite a background!
The most important thing is, it's cheap!
Two cents each for Sun Wukong, and five cents each for master and disciple, all four of them took home.
This "price conflict" promotion model appears for the first time in today's society.
Mothers who had never been exposed to price wars became enthusiastic.
All fools know that buying four is taking advantage of the public.
When I looked again, the eyes of the boy next to me were shining.
Of course they want to take four at the same time and play Sun Wukong. They also have an opponent in hand, regardless of whether he is a master or a junior.
I didn’t hear the factory director say that if you put them at home in the future, four of them in a row will look great.
So, four, four... As long as the citizens take action, it will basically be four.
Parents are still willing to spend less than 50 cents on their children.
At this moment, Accountant Chen was so busy that he took off his hat.
From time to time, I would also take a look at the promotional poster standing next to the stall, thanks to the large and eye-catching characters on it.
I've been to 7 or 8 shopping malls since the morning. It's a blessing that I have it here, otherwise Accountant Chen's throat will really burn.
At the same time, the Tongle Toys Factory in Yanjing.
The review meeting did not end until dark. Factory director Chen Xuan kept criticizing himself in front of the leaders of the Second Lighting Bureau.
"Next, is the eighth point, the design of the Sun Wukong blow molded doll this time..."
However, no matter how long his review is, there is still no solution to the Journey to the West in the warehouse...
No. 51 courtyard in early winter,
The three Jiang brothers each wore a Chinese tunic jacket after dinner.
Sitting in a small room holding a candle and talking at night, at first glance I thought it was the youth of the Republic of China having a secret meeting.
"Second dick, here it is,"
Jiang Hai handed a wad of money to Jiang He. Money in this era feels very good in his hands.
The thick stack of two hundred yuan actually gave off the brilliance of two thousand yuan.
If you think about its gold content carefully, it is really even better!
"Two hundred dollars?"
This was the first money Jiang He made after returning to the city.
In one fell swoop, I filled up the gap of not receiving salary in the previous months.
"It's just the apprenticeship salary in my printing shop," Jiang Shan finally remembered his job: "It takes a year to earn more than two hundred."
Jiang Hai also felt the same way: "It's better to be an artist!"
"Shit artist," Jiang He cursed, but couldn't help but smile: "It's better that the third one arranged it!"
"I just wanted to tell you about this," Jiang Shan thought about it as he went home:
"I feel that as long as we three brothers cooperate properly in the future, we can make a lot of money."
"That's right," Jiang He had already thought about it: "We can be like Sun Wukong in the future. The boss will publicize it in the newspaper, and the third and I will be responsible for the paintings and sales. There will definitely be more than two hundred!"
Jiang Hai immediately lowered his voice: "You really dare to think! This newspaper is not run by our Jiang family!"
Jiang He didn't say a word, but his face had an expression that looked similar to him.
At this moment, Jiang Hai suddenly felt that the atmosphere of the meeting in the small room was completely different from the atmosphere in the editor-in-chief's office of the newspaper.
Jiang Shan spoke at this time: "This time the Monkey King toy borrowed the inspiration from "Havoc in Heaven" to bring it back to life."
The other two nodded.
Jiang Shan continued: "Jiangning Toy Factory is actually our Party A. We must have a sense of awareness in this matter."
Both of them are waiting for him.
Jiang Shan: "Party A's awareness. Only by satisfying and indulging more and more Party A can our publicity and planning team become bigger and stronger."
"Publicity... planning team?"
"Yes, advertising and advertising planning are actually two different concepts," Jiang Shan thought for a while:
"How should I put it? As long as the advertisement is designed, you are not responsible for the promotion effect of the product, but the publicity planning is to help Party A make profitable publicity."
Jiang Haizhou raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't have to keep it to the end, do you?"
"How is it possible," Jiang Shan explained: "It is impossible for us to participate in the operation of other people's factories."
Jiang He nodded: "Does that mean we are in charge of both advertising and advertising effects?"
"Yes," Jiang Shan continued to explain: "As long as we experience similar sales of Sun Wukong a few more times, the three of us will be the most experienced publicity and advertising team in Pujiang and even in China."
Jiang He suddenly made a decision: "Starting tomorrow, I won't go to the Personnel Bureau to wait for letters. I will just draw at home."
"It doesn't matter if you don't go," Jiang Shan looked at Jiang Hai and said, "But our big brother must be stable, the platform is too important."
Jiang Hai picked up the Chinese tunic suit that was about to slip off, and made every move to enter the veteran cadre level in advance.
Just when the three brothers of the Jiang family were determined to make money, suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Xiaojiang,"
It was the voice of neighbor Li Huaiying, which sounded anxious and panicked: "Xiao Jiang, open the door quickly, something is wrong with your Uncle Li!"
"Here we come," Jiang Shan rushed over and opened the door. When he saw Li Huaiying outside the door, his expression changed.
Li Huaiying, who was standing outside the door, was trembling all over. He wanted to open his mouth several times, but he was so nervous that he could not speak a complete sentence clearly.
Jiang Shan's face was full of anxiety: "Aunt Li, don't worry, I'll go see Uncle Li!"
After saying that, he opened the door and walked into Li's house, with Jiang He following closely behind.
"Sister Li, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Jiang Ma also took off her apron and rushed over from the kitchen, holding Li Huaiying's hands: "Ah, why are they shaking like this..."
