Return To 1977 Chapter 712: Want to fight and endure
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
Don't look at the clothing night market, where Hong Yanwu's people are slicing the flesh of ordinary people with knives every day, but one is willing to beat and the other is willing to suffer.
Because the goods are fashionable, diverse, and there is room for free pricing.
Among the people who have been "suffering from the knife", there are actually many people who feel that this market is better run than the state-run one and has benefited them a lot.
Not to mention those young men and women who have no jobs, are greedy for fashion, and just walk around the streets with a tape recorder every day, crying and shouting that they also want to be beautiful.
Those are the bosses who would rather not eat, steal neighbor's pigeons and bicycle bells to sell for money, and wear a pair of jeans to show off on the street.
They are the most stable customer group of the clothing night market and cannot be driven away. Secretly, they love to make the clothing night market famous.
Besides them, there are also many ordinary people who have stable jobs and pursue a normal life who have a good impression of the clothing night market.
Wang Fen, who was getting married before the Spring Festival in 1982, is a typical example.
It was precisely because of this clothing night market that she had no regrets about her wedding.
If we look at the overall social atmosphere, in fact, since last year, the wedding dresses worn by brides and grooms are no longer as monotonous and rigid as before. Some people have dared to wear bright red clothes outside.
Wang Fen, who has a warm and outgoing personality, is obviously more ahead of the curve. Two months before her wedding, she had been thinking about what kind of clothes she should wear to leave beautiful memories for her wedding.
Finally, she remembered the photos of her mother when she was young that were destroyed in the "movement", and decided to make a cheongsam.
After she had this idea, she went to major shopping malls in the capital.
I turned around and chose a piece of antique satin material.
Although she only earned more than 40 yuan a month, she still took two months' salary and spent more than 80 yuan to make this cheongsam.
It looks really beautiful when I put it on, but I always feel like something is missing.
Later I asked my mother for her opinion and found out that if you dare to wear a cheongsam, you must wear jewelry and high heels.
Now we are in trouble again, because high heels and jewelry are not only expensive, but the key is that they are difficult to buy.
Even if you want to buy high heels in a department store, you still need seven industrial coupons.
It is even more difficult to find traces of jewelry. I am afraid that it is only possible to see it in the legendary "Friendship Store".
How can she, an ordinary worker, do it?
As a result, just less than a week after the divorce, she finally learned from the little sisters at work that there were high-heeled shoes sold in the clothing night market.
Here, she not only bought red high-heeled shoes that were more fashionable and cheaper than those in department stores, but also bought the jewelry she had dreamed of.
Although it was a fake, it was beautiful and cheap, and her problem was instantly solved.
Just like that, on the wedding day, Wang Fen not only wore a necklace, but also earrings, rings, and a beaded flower on her chest.
Her hairstyle is to perm the whole hair, a big wavy flower.
Put on a red cheongsam and step on bright red leather shoes. It is really bright and dazzling.
Sure enough, after she put on what was considered an alternative outfit at the time, she put on her coat, took a car and arrived at the groom's house. As soon as she made her dazzling appearance, she immediately attracted the attention of the audience.
At the wedding that day, both her husband's family and the neighbors looked at her in a very strange way. They stared at Wang Fenfang's cheongsam for a long time and were unwilling to leave.
Everyone was so surprised, how could they dress so beautifully!
Even the groom's brother said, "Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful that you take over our entire alley."
Similar to Wang Fen's situation, on the eve of the Spring Festival in 1982, Du Mulin, editor of the daily newspaper, also had mixed feelings.
The good news is that after the Spring Festival, he will join the company's overseas study tour and go to Japan for business.
What is worrying is that the equipment expenses for going abroad are seriously insufficient.
Their units are no larger than national ministries and commissions, and have sufficient funds.
There are often more than a dozen or dozens of members in study tours abroad, and the installation fee is 500 yuan. In addition to making two sets of clothes, I can also have some left over to buy a pair of good leather shoes and a silk tie.
They only paid three hundred yuan. And that was only enough for "Hongdu" to make one and a half suits, and the remaining shortcomings had to be made up by oneself.
But how much is his salary? It’s only seventy yuan, and my wife’s is only forty yuan.
It would cost the couple a whole month's salary to fill this hole.
The family has just purchased a TV, and not only is money tight, but the wife also wants to save money to buy a washing machine. If you pay this 100 yuan, doesn't that mean you have spent half a load of the washing machine out of thin air?
So in the end Du Mulin abandoned face and chose lizi.
He calculated that it would take about half a month to go abroad. If he was more careful, he might be able to cope with it without changing it.
So I just made a suit in the "Red Capital" and didn't even buy a pair of new shoes, so I decided to make do with old ones.
There is no way, this is the difficulty of developing countries.
But he never expected that his wife would suddenly give him an unforgettable surprise one night.
That day, Du Mulin worked overtime until eight o'clock as usual before going home. Unexpectedly, when he entered the house, there were not only dishes and chopsticks on the table. There was actually a gray Paris suit and a pair of leather shoes on the chair next to him.
The wife asked Du Mulin to try it on without any explanation.
Not to mention, the clothes are very suitable and the style is very novel.
After putting it on, one's eyes are brightened when one looks at it. The layout is better than the ones in "Hongdu".
Even my son who was doing his homework kept yelling that his father looked like a foreigner.
It was only then that my wife showed off her merits and said that the suit and leather shoes were both bought at the Xidan Clothing Night Market. They only spent 75 yuan in total and they were from Hong Kong.
Following her, she took out another silk tie for Du Mulin. The pattern and color were better than those from "Hongdu".
At this time, Du Mulin was completely stunned by the joy.
While trying it on in the mirror, he couldn't help but ask, "This tie is also from Hong Kong. Is it expensive? There is no need to buy this. I have one and that's enough..."
Unexpectedly, my wife smiled even more proudly.
"They gave it to me for free, how about it? Are these things I bought suitable for use? No matter what, as a grown man, you have to be decent when you go abroad. It's not good to be without a change of clothes. Besides, who are we to look down on? Now, we can’t let the Japanese look down upon us, right?”
In this way, Du Mulin, who had never been intimate with his wife in front of anyone for almost fifteen years since his marriage, could not help but hug his wife in front of his children for the first time.
Although this was a somewhat ridiculous move that made his son booed and his wife blushed and complained after breaking away, it was enough to show the excitement and happiness in his heart.
If the experiences of Wang Fen and Du Mulin were just trivial matters in the daily lives of ordinary people, they would seem a bit unremarkable.
Then "Hongye" also came to Hong Yanwu's door because of these Hong Kong-style clothes that he had brought to the capital, asking him to make some "contribution" to the film industry of the Republic.
From the beginning to the end, this matter seemed to be twisted and twisted, which was much more interesting.
After graduating from university, "Hongye" was assigned to work at the Beijing Film Products Factory.
Of course, seniority has to be considered everywhere. Since he is a "junior", he can only run the drama and be responsible for props.
Not to mention, the crew assigned is really good.
It is the highlight of the "Beijing Film Studio" planned to start filming in 1982, the film "Sunset Street" adapted from Su Shuyang's work.
Famous movie actors Yu Shaokang and Chen's father and son, as well as young star Chi Zhiqiang, will all play important roles in this movie.
What needs to be pointed out here is that the story told in "Xizhao Street" mainly takes place in a large courtyard in the capital that is waiting to be moved.
This film not only needs to truthfully reflect the life scenes of contemporary Beijing citizens. Most of the characters in the play are unemployed young people.
Don't forget, because "Hongye" himself is from the capital and was a gangster leader.
He is very familiar with the life in the alley and the characteristics of the fallen youth.
Then it would be perfect for him to join the crew and participate in planning the scenes of the urban life of the people in the capital.
In fact, many of his suggestions were quite constructive, and the scenes he arranged were inexpensive and close to life, so he was quickly appreciated by the director.
For this reason, the director gave him a small role in the movie in order to save money.
It was decided to let him play the role of the son of model teacher Wang Pu and his wife, an educated youth who returned to the city and finally reunited with his parents.
In this way, "Hongye" without knowing it, actually replaced Sun Song, the "Beijing Film Studio" actor who originally played this role in history, and had the opportunity to appear on the big screen.
It's a pity that setbacks are still inevitable, but later there happened to be a problem that "Hongye" couldn't cope with.
That’s the Hong Kong-style clothing needed in the play, which is really hard to buy on the street.
It wasn't until one day that I saw a boy wearing jeans on the street, "Hongye" toasting cigarettes and making magnets with others, that I finally found my way to the clothing night market in Xidan.
Seeing the items in the clothing night market, he was so beautiful.
But at this time, another thing worried him again.
I bet these clothes are expensive, almost hundreds of dollars per piece.
Depending on the needs of the plot, both men and women have to buy several outfits. The expense is enough to make people feel painful.
In addition, self-employed people cannot issue invoices, and there is no way for him to reimburse the crew for reimbursement.
Well, we're at a deadlock again.
And just when "Hongye" was worried, things took a turn for the worse.
I dare say that a little brother who had followed him in the past was also practicing stalls and recognized him in the market.
Immediately, I was greeted by eldest brother and eldest brother, and I had to ask "Hongye" to pick out some clothes to wear, which showed his arrogance and generosity.
Hey, is that good?
But "Hongye" is still like this, and he is too embarrassed to take advantage of his little brother. At the same time, he was secretly ashamed of the contrasting economic gap. He insisted on refusing to save face.
But he was not stupid. When he saw this little brother, he guessed that Hong Yanwu was also involved here, so he asked specifically before leaving.
No, after protecting his eldest brother's face, he took the initiative to go to Hong Yanwu's house to find an advantage.
There is no need to be polite between the two of them.
But "Hongye" really miscalculated this time, and Hong Yanwu really agreed to his matter happily. But on the other hand, he asked him to do something, which suddenly put him in trouble.
Hong Yanwu is smarter than a monkey, and he doesn’t do loss-making business at all. As soon as I thought about it, I asked if I could shoot a scene of a clothing night market and put it in the movie "Sunset Street".
Of course "Hongye" has to do his best in this matter, but he can't make the decision. He thought about it again and again, and in the end he could only think of a way to arrange for Hong Yanwu to meet with the director and assistant director for a one-on-one chat. He wasn't sure whether it would work or not.
Fortunately, Hong Yanwu also understood his difficulties and said that all he needed to do was meet and talk. Either way, the clothing is sponsored.
Just like that, "Hongye" went back and tried to mention it to the director, asking the director to give him this face.
I have to say that the film industry these days is all about face but not dignity, but it is really quite miserable.
After calculating these costumes, I can save two to three hundred yuan. The director really has to sell the "red leaves" face.
As a result, after this meeting, the matter was settled.
Who is Hong Yanwu? Excellent eloquence and financial strength.
After meeting, Hao Yitong not only expressed his love for the film industry, but also found several noble reasons for the scene of the clothing night market in the film.
Finally, on behalf of all the self-employed people in the clothing night market, he promised an additional sponsorship fee of 2,000 yuan, saying that it would be entirely up to the crew.
Now under the dual influence of spiritual civilization and material civilization, the director really has to be tempted.
At least with this money, the crew can always provide better food, and there is no need to argue with the extra transportation fees.
The only concern right now is whether I will make a mistake by doing this?
But what does this matter to Hong Yanwu? He is good at playing this kind of trick, and he directly pushed "Red Leaf" out.
Tell the director, "Well, let's not mention any sponsorship. This is my buddy, and the money we exchange is a private gift, so I am happy to spend the money on him."
"Anyway, if your crew needs anything, just ask him for it when the time comes. He neither keeps accounts nor takes tickets. It is his own business to be willing to use his own money to supplement the crew. In this way, I will guarantee his If necessary, he will ensure the needs of the crew, won’t that end?”
"As for your ability to film the clothing night market into the movie, this is entirely to faithfully record the images of the times and make the movie closer to people's lives. It has nothing to do with money. Right? So what mistakes are we making? ”
So everyone was happy in the end. Under Hong Yanwu's single-handed operation, "Red Leaf" not only improved its status among the crew, but "Sunset Street" actually became the second planting film in the history of Chinese film after "Romance on Lushan Mountain". Advertised movies.
What satisfied the crew the most was that afterwards, Hong Yanwu generously invited the entire crew to have a meal of boiled mutton.
You know, except for the director and assistant director, it was almost the first time for everyone else to eat "Shun Dong Lai".
And it was also the first time that they were able to be full by eating meat alone.
Just one word, beautiful!
So based on this meal, the crew had to believe Hong Yanwu's promise.
This is where my strength lies. How else can I afford it? What a rich master this is!
