Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

A few days later, Zhang Li left quietly. No one except Chu Jianghe and Ma Liang knew where he went.

He didn't know many people in bj, so his departure didn't cause any waves.

All the business in the capital was handed over to Ma Liang. Chu Jianghe told him not to bother him unless there was something big.

Ma Liang is also very knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Brother Chu gave him the opportunity to take the lead on his own, and he is even more concerned about the transactions he is doing.

He has also done well recently. Apart from occasionally coming home to send money, he rarely bothers Chu Jianghe. He makes some decisions on his own.

This also made Chu Jianghe feel a lot lighter. Apart from studying in class, he spent time with his wife at home and occasionally watching movies with her.

The spiritual life of ordinary people in this era is so monotonous and boring, and televisions have not yet become popular. Many people get a tape of Teresa Teng, which is like a treasure. They can listen to the tape over and over again without getting tired of it. Her heavenly voice makes people happy. Everyone was mesmerized.

It is impossible to determine precisely when and how Teresa Teng's songs were first introduced to the mainland.

Around 1977 or 1978, her tapes were smuggled in from the southeastern coast, and they were transcribed with each other as tape recorders became more popular.

Many people have transcribed it so many times that the sound on the tape has become distorted, and they don't care.

Teresa Teng has never been to the mainland, so she doesn’t know how popular she is in the mainland.

In this era, there are no scandals or hype. People only look at your works. Teresa Teng conquered mainland audiences with her voice alone. Many people started to get into pop music by listening to her songs.

People have the purest love for beautiful things without any fantasies about her.

Her voice is suitable for all ages and has deeply influenced people of this era. In terms of status and influence in the mainland, it is unprecedented and unprecedented.

On the other hand, what ordinary people can find comfort in is movies.

In 1979, although there were only more than 50 domestically produced films, the number of mainland movie viewers reached 279 billion, with an average of 7000 million viewers watching movies every day, setting an unprecedented record.

Movie tickets are now cheap, only a few cents, a dime.

If this were to happen a few decades later, when the average ticket price would be tens of dollars, I would be a fool.

However, there are no commercial theaters now, and there are no box office statistics. Otherwise, if you take any movie from 79, it will be ranked high in film history.

In addition to these domestic films, there are also some films imported from abroad.

These foreign films that have been translated and re-dubbed are called "dubbed films."

For Chinese people who have just opened their doors to the country, these translated films have a special appeal.

Due to different cultural backgrounds and aesthetic tastes, these translated films also have their own unique ways of expression.

At that time, people summed up four limerick-like comments, which were widely circulated - North Korean movies make people cry, laugh and cry, Annan's movies cannons, Albanian movies have no clue, and Romanian movies hug each other.

Nowadays, movie screening venues are also very dense, so watching movies has become a very common and popular cultural consumption.

Unlike those movie theaters in later generations that had several or a dozen large and small screening rooms, most of the movie theaters at that time had only one screening room with hundreds of seats inside.

Most of them are ordinary hard seats, and the more advanced ones are upstairs and downstairs, as well as soft seats.

There are many movie theaters here in the capital. Changhong and Mingxing in Longfu Temple, Dahua and Red Star in Dongdan area, Red Mansion and Shengli in Xisi area are all movie theaters that people like to patronize.

When talking about the 79 movie, we have to mention a popular word - Butterboy.

In 1979, during the filming of the movie "Little Flower", Tang Guoqiang celebrated his birthday. Chen Chong asked him what birthday gift he wanted. Tang Guoqiang said he wanted to eat cream cake the most.

So, Chen Chong went to great lengths to find a small cake for Tang Guoqiang, which was still scarce at the time.

Later, when watching the sample film, there was a close-up of Tang Guoqiang. Chen Chong was happy when he saw it and said, "Look at this skin, it's even tenderer than mine. He eats butter, so let's call him a butter boy!"

With the popularity of the film, the title of "cream boy" also spread like wildfire.

Later, "cream niche" became synonymous with young and handsome men.

……

Today, Chu Jianghe took his wife Liu Yunfang to the Changhong Cinema not far from home. The two of them walked all the way there, but it didn't take much effort.

The changes on the street are still obvious. Nowadays, there are more and more stalls on the road, including those who repair cars, mend shoes, and one selling candied haws.

What surprised Chu Jianghe the most was that he found a barbecue stall. It reminded him of the days of drinking beer and eating barbecue in the summer. He would like to try it after watching the movie.

When he arrived at the cinema, Chu Jianghe bought two movie tickets and walked in with his wife.

Today's release is "Pygmalion," a North Korean movie that tells the fate of a flower girl's family. This movie is still very popular in China.

Look at the names of the screenwriter and director, they are all big names.

The plot of the movie reached an emotional point, and the theater was filled with tears.

Chu Jianghe didn't feel anything at all. Maybe he had watched too many tear-jerking movies in later generations and his nerves were already stretched. This movie didn't make him burst into tears, but he was just slightly touched.

Liu Yunfang often watched movies such as "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and "Tunnel War" in her hometown. This was the first time she watched this movie. She also cried profusely along with the people in the cinema.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's pear blossoms and rainy appearance next to him, Chu Jianghe felt a little regretful. He would not have chosen this movie if he had known it, and went directly to have sex with his wife.

Chu Jianghe quickly took out the handkerchief, handed it to his wife, and said softly: "It's just a movie, it's all fake."

Liu Yunfang wiped her tears with the handkerchief given by her man, and said in a crying voice: "I know, but I can't help but see their tragic fate. Aren't you moved?"

Chu Jianghe was stunned for a while. There were so many tragic examples on the Internet. He had seen them too many times and had long since developed a hard-hearted heart. However, he couldn't tell his wife this clearly.

His wife was still kind-hearted. Seeing the gloomy atmosphere in the cinema, Chu Jianghe quickly pulled his wife away.

I was quite happy at first, but was disturbed by the movie.

After leaving the cinema, Liu Yunfang relaxed a lot.

Chu Jianghe took his wife to the barbecue stall and asked the price: "How much does a skewer cost?"

The stall owner of the barbecue was a young man wearing a white hat. He was flipping the barbecue skewers over the smoking charcoal fire. When Chu Jianghe asked about the price, he responded enthusiastically: "Two cents a skewer. If you buy ten skewers, I'll give you one." Strings, buy twenty strings, I’ll spare you three strings.”

Chu Jianghe looked at the meat skewers on the charcoal fire, moved his index finger, and said directly: "Then give me twenty skewers."

The stall owner rarely encountered a big deal, so he shouted happily: "Good luck."

At this time, there were already many people waiting for the meat skewers to come out of the oven, and Chu Jianghe and his wife were waiting quietly next to them.

Smelling the aroma of meat skewers, Chu Jianghe secreted a lot of saliva in his mouth.

Well, the portion of this bunch is not small, and it’s worth two cents a bunch.

This stall owner actually still uses iron picks, he is very particular!

Taking a closer look, Chu Jianghe discovered something unusual.

wrong!

Wait, this is not a sign.

This is not a fucking bicycle strip.
