Dreams of the Fragrant River

: Four hundred and seventy-eight [sweeping the country]

In the 1980s, it was an absolute mouthpiece of public opinion. Anyone who read the newspapers should read the article that the box office skyrocketed again in the fourth week. The movie theaters in Beijing/Beijing, Shanghai/Shanghai and other big cities were already full, and there was a movie speculation. The scalper of tickets - you must know that under normal circumstances, the attendance rate of mainland cinemas does not exceed 30%. [;Starting]

Screenings in the mainland were then rolled out in an all-round way, but the box office concealment and piracy of the city and county-level cinemas were very serious. The money basically went into the local pockets, let alone Kang Jianfei, a producer, even the central government. There is nothing the film bureau can do, so it's impossible to send someone to every movie theater across the country to check the accounts.

In a small mountain village in the east of Sichuan, Liu Si walked fast on the country road.

The sweet potatoes have been harvested, and the wheat seeds have been sown. This year’s farm work is basically over, and I’m just waiting for a happy New Year.

Liu Si is a 19-year-old boy. Originally, his grades were very good and he could go to secondary school. Unfortunately, he could only go to high school if he did not get good marks in the test. At this time, only the best students can go to secondary school, especially for the children of farmers, who can become workers after graduating from secondary school, and only the prodigal children can go to high school.

Liu Si was naturally not a prodigal son, so he honestly returned home to farm, and learned mason skills from a master. Right now, during the official slack season, Liu Si worked as a small laborer and saved more than ten yuan, so he was ready to go to the city to watch a movie for entertainment.

Almost every peasant likes to watch movies, but the projection team only comes to the village once every three months, and many young people who can't help it go to the cinema in the city to watch it by themselves.

Movie tickets in small cities are very cheap. It only costs 20 cents to see a movie, and even a student ticket costs only 10 cents.

After walking on the dirt road for about 40 minutes, Liu Si finally set foot on a road paved with lime mixed stones. It only costs 50 cents to take the car to the city.

However, Liu Si did not choose to take a car. It only took more than three hours to walk into the city. He felt that taking a car was really not worth it.

"Brother Liu Si!" Not long after walking on the lime road, Liu Si suddenly heard someone calling his name. When he turned his head, it was Song Yingzi, his female classmate when he was studying in the town.

Song Yingzi was wearing a brand new red jacket with two long pigtails, and she smiled very nicely. Liu Si's eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "Yingzi, are you going to the city too?"

Song Yingzi raised the paper bag in her hand and said, "Yeah, my dad picked up a big ganoderma lucidum yesterday, and I'm going to take it to the supply and marketing cooperative for money. Fourth brother Liu, what are you doing in the city?"

"I'm going to see a movie, or I'll invite you to a movie." Liu Si's heart was beating after saying this.

Song Yingzi replied generously: "Okay, I'll talk about it when I change the Lingzhi."

The girl's words floated into Liu Si's ears like Xianle, and only felt that the bones all over his body were lightened by a few ounces. Walk like you are going to fly.

The two chatted happily all the way. Before I knew it, three and a half hours had passed. Finally reached the station on the edge of the city.

It was already twelve o'clock at noon, but Liu Si and Song Yingzi did not go out to eat, but bought two bowls of *spicy noodle soup at a noodle shop for five cents, and ran the food they brought to them before eating.

After lunch. Liu Si accompanied Song Yingzi to the supply and marketing agency to sell Ganoderma lucidum, and then the two rushed to the cinema in a hurry. They didn't have much time, and it would take at least four hours to go back after watching the movie, and it was almost dark when they got home.

The cinema in the small city is not big, and there is only one screening hall, which can barely seat 200 people.

Liu Si rushed to the cinema with his beloved girl, took out 50 cents boldly, and said to the conductor: "Two movie tickets!"

The conductor glanced disdainfully at Liu Si, who was dressed in rustic clothes, and said blankly, "Two pieces cost one dollar."

Liu Si was still waiting for the conductor to ask for his money. As soon as I heard this, I became anxious: "Don't coax me, it used to be 20 cents for a movie ticket, how come it's 50 cents today?"

The conductor pointed to the poster at the entrance of the cinema: "Have you seen it? The movies made by Hong Kong directors should be worth the price. You are a farmer at first sight. If you have to slap your face and make a fat man, just take your partner to the road. No money."

Song Yingzi had long been fond of the capable and clever Liu Si, but when he saw that his sweetheart was discriminated against, he pointed at the conductor and shouted, "Hey, what do you mean? Call your leaders now!"

The conductor sneered: "The leader is very busy and has no time to see you."

Liu Si's self-esteem was obviously hurt, and his face was hot. He took a dollar and said, "Give me two tickets!"

The conductor whispered as he opened the ticket: "The hillbilly still learns from others to watch movies..."

Liu Si could only pretend that he didn't hear it. Although the other party was just a conductor, his identity as a worker and his hukou in the city were simply not something he could deal with as a small farmer.

Song Yingzi felt gloomy and cursed in a low voice, "Dogs look down on people, be careful when you go out and get hit by a car!"

When they entered the cinema, they forcibly forgot their unhappiness just now and just waited for the movie to start showing.

At this time, there are no two-day breaks in China. Generally, there are several shifts in factories. However, at this time, the students were on their winter vacation. Although it was only 2 pm on Tuesday, the cinema with more than 100 seats still had 60 to 70 audiences.

"There are so many people watching movies today." Liu Si sighed while looking at the crowded heads in front of him. He used to watch movies in the afternoon, and there were no more than ten people in the theater.

Song Yingzi said: "Maybe this movie is very good, so people who watch it can guess, otherwise the movie ticket will be so expensive."

"No matter how good it looks, it doesn't look good. When I came to see the Shaolin Temple last year, it was full of people in the middle of the afternoon. I waited for more than ten minutes to buy a ticket." Liu Si said proudly that he watched me five times, and there was one It was the screening team who came to the village to play it, and I can recite the dialogue inside. "

Song Yingzi listened to Liu Si's speech with a smile, and suddenly a beam of light above his head shone on the big screen, and Liu Sicai closed his mouth a little bit.

The cartoon head of the movie DreamWorks appeared, and the dreamy music made Song Yingzi hear the sounds of the sky and said involuntarily, "It's really nice."

...

"what!"

Song Yingzi lay in Liu Si's arms and screamed, but the bad guy on the screen was punched out of the plane window by his head, and the frost quickly formed due to the low temperature.

Because the makeup is so realistic, and the mainland audience really can't resist it, Song Yingzi almost thinks that some actors really froze to death during the filming.

If it were normal, Liu Si would definitely be excited because Song Yingzi was lying in his arms, but now his attention is all on the big screen.

Exclamations and cheers could be heard from time to time in the theater, and until the end of the movie, Liu Si didn't come out of the shock of the movie.

"This movie is so well done!"

"How did those flying cars come out?"

"It's a waste of money to make a movie. At least a dozen cars were smashed into the movie."

"That girl's kung fu is very good, I don't know who is more powerful than Li's Jueyuan."

"It must be that Jueyuan's Shaolin Kung Fu is more powerful."

"That's not necessarily. Wu has a gun in the fight."

"You can't use a gun than kung fu!"

"The Vietnamese people in the movie are so bad, they have to dig people's graves when they die."

"Vietnamese people are bad. They even came to invade China. Fortunately, the People's Liberation Army drove them away."

"Hong Kong people really know how to dress up. That woman dresses better than Liu Xiaoqing."

"..."

The audience talked about a variety of topics, but they all spoke with an excited tone. Obviously, this movie gave them a great shock.

Liu Si and Song Yingzi left the theater and went home. Along the way, Liu Si still had the movie in his mind. He said, "It's just as beautiful, but I don't know what the actress who plays Wu is called."

Song Yingzi said: "My name is Lin Qingxia, I read the cast list."

At this time, although Qiong Yao's novels had already flowed into the mainland, they were only circulated among some students and workers. It would take a few more years for Qiong Yao's TV series to become popular, so the mainlanders had not heard of Lin Qingxia's name.

At this time, Liu Si kept Lin Qingxia's name firmly in his mind. He naively thought that Lin Qingxia was a beauty who knew kung fu, and the fighting moves in the movie were all made by Lin Qingxia herself.

After sending Song Yingzi home, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening when Liu Si returned to his village, and he said proudly when he saw someone:

"I went to the city to watch a movie this afternoon. It was shot by a big Hong Kong director. It's better than that."

"Really, the dog is lying to you. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself tomorrow."

"The name is ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and it is played by Hong Kong star Lin Qingxia. Lin Qingxia is prettier than Liu Xiaoqing."

"There is still a flying car inside, and the accelerator is flying a few meters high."

"..."

In the mainland, there is no shortage of active and free propagandists like Liu Si, whose influence has extended to the countryside, sweeping the country at an alarming rate.

With the popularity of the movie, it officially proposed to buy and broadcast with DreamWorks, hoping to win TV ratings by virtue of the movie's popularity.

Although it set up its own TV production center in 1983, its shooting efficiency is really low. One film took almost two years to complete and only 3 episodes were completed. Although there are usually one or two self-made TV series broadcast, most of them are outsourced TV series.

The purchase and broadcast agreement of the first film was quickly negotiated, and the price of each episode was purchased at 10,000 yuan, which directly bought out the broadcast rights in the mainland. If provincial TV stations want to broadcast in the future, they will need to pay, and neither DreamWorks nor Kang Jianfei will bother to ask.
