1979 Golden Age

Shanghai.

Gong Xue is the third child in the family, with an older brother and an older sister, and her parents are not young anymore.

Her mother used to manage a photo news agency and was a cadre. After retirement, she came to Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House to do some auxiliary work, which is actually a consultant.

"Are you going to get off work?"

"Well, is there anything else?"

"Hehe, I heard that your daughter made a very popular movie. I have been unable to buy tickets. Can you help me get some tickets?"

At the end of the get off work day, a young man in the unit stopped Gong's mother. Gong's mother was stunned and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have any tickets either. I wrote to Xiaoxue to get some movie tickets."

"Oh, it's so difficult, I won't bother you anymore!"

Gong's mother endured the subtle and somewhat proud mood, rode out of the unit, did not go home, and went directly to a movie theater.

When they arrived, Gong's father, Gong Ying, the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the sister and brother-in-law, a family of seven, were all there, and they formed a group to watch "Lush Mountain Love". These were also the tickets they had finally got, and they could not give them to that colleague.

"Everyone is here, let's go in!"

Father Gong said, and they all went into the theater.

The last time Gong Xue filmed "Jihong", the whole family came to watch the movie, but unfortunately the movie didn't make much splash, and Gong Xue's performance in it was also criticized. But this time is different, "Lush Mountain Love" is simply overwhelming, and even a fool knows that his daughter is going to become famous.

"Lush Mountain Love" actually exudes a strong petty bourgeois sentiment, which is very much to the taste of Shanghai people. Chen Qi, out of bad taste, also added a few shots of drinking coffee, focusing on the theme of "elegance".

After the film was over, the audience clapped as usual.

Clapping at a movie is actually a bit embarrassing, but it really shows the audience's respect for the film.

"Xiaoxue has produced a good work!"

"Yes, there is no need to cry after the New Year... Hey, by the way, how did her performance improve so much? Did she worship a teacher?"

I know! I know!

Gong Ying wanted to make a shocking revelation after hearing her family's discussion, but she couldn't betray her sister. Her sister told her that she was helped by a very outstanding young man named Chen Qi.

It was right there in the screenwriter column at the beginning of the film!

Gong Ying couldn't help but be very curious, what exactly does this person look like?

After the family watched the movie, the elder brother and sister went back to their own homes. Gong Ying followed her parents back to the alley. As soon as they entered the alley, the neighbor said, "You are finally back. A guest has been waiting for a long time!"

"Guest?"

Dad Gong was stunned. When he saw the man, he found that he was a friend from the Shanghai Film Studio. He hurriedly said, "Old Sun, why did you come here suddenly?"

"Go in and tell me, go in and tell me!"

The other party followed into the house and said straight to the point, "Didn't you ask people everywhere to get your daughter into the Shanghai Film Studio? We didn't know her well before and didn't dare to ask for this. Now the leader of the studio has personally named her, so let me ask you what you think?"

"Uh..."

Dad Gong was embarrassed and said, "I'm really sorry, you are a step behind. Xiaoxue has already transferred to the Beijing Film Studio."

"Ah? Have you completed the procedures?"

"It's done. The household registration and other things have been passed."

The book!

The other party slapped his thigh, and it seemed that his luck was lost.

This feeling was even stronger on his way back, because he saw a girl holding a copy of Popular Movies, pointing at a photo of Gong Xue, and shamelessly pulling the tailor to make a skirt according to it.

"It's too blurry, I can't make it!"

"Then I'll treat you to a movie, we'll go to the cinema, you'll be able to make it when you see the skirt!"

The girl was extremely fierce, her eyes full of the brilliance of pursuing beautiful clothes.

"Inexplicably missing a general, Beijing Film Studio got a bargain!"

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and it was also the fault of the old men in the studio. If someone wanted to come in, wouldn't you have agreed?

Historically, Gong Xue went to Shanghai Film Studio. At first, she was not one of the top ones, but she was also one of the golden flowers of Shanghai Film Studio. At that time, all major studios had three golden flowers and five golden flowers, even the August 1st Studio had one.

Later, she won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards for "Under the Bridge" and became one of the most popular actors - Zhang Yu had already gone abroad at that time, so she naturally became the face of Shanghai Film Studio.

…………

“Ding-ling-ding-ling!”

The postman rang the bell on his bicycle and stopped at the gate of Beijing Film Studio. He threw a big bag into the bag: “Letters!”

“So many?”   “Who knows what you did? Take your time to open it!”

The old man in the message room snorted and opened the big bag. One of his duties was to sort the mail and then write on the small blackboard “xxx has a letter, xxx has a package!”

“From Gong Xue!”

“From Gong Xue again!”

“Hey, why is it Gong Xue again?”

The old man picked out more than a hundred letters, all for her. The senders were from the same city, the suburbs, and Tangshan…The old man had seen the world. He took the small blackboard and wrote it down in one stroke:

“Gong Xue has a package of letters!”

Then he poked it outside the message room.

There were people coming and going at the gate every day, with a huge flow of people. They all saw the small blackboard and had different reactions.

Zhang Jinling: “Okay!”

Liu Xiaoqing: “Humph!”

Li Xiuming rolled his eyes directly.

Cai Ming: "Oh, the world is in chaos!"

Wang Yang also saw it, but he didn't say anything. He walked into the office and called someone to tell him, "Gong Xue is not in the studio. You keep those letters and pick a few to send to the crew. Ask her to write an open letter and publish it in "Popular Movies". It can be regarded as a response to the audience friends."

"Okay!"

Wang Yang was happy and felt that he was a talent scout who could point out all the talents in the world.

Since the Beijing Film Studio resumed production in 1977, the most popular work was "Little Flower", which brought out the three giants Chen Chong, Liu Xiaoqing and Tang Guoqiang. But even "Little Flower" is not as popular as today's "Lush Mountain Love".

He knew that China Film was printing more copies in a hurry, and the total number reached 380!

Wang Yang was the first director to promote the concept of "Golden Flower" in the studio. He might not know it, but his behavior was actually creating stars. There is no need to say how important stars are to a movie.

But again, he has limitations. After bringing out the Golden Flower, it is unclear what to do next.

…………

Last July, Deng Xiaoping delivered a famous Huangshan speech: "Huangshan is where you make money. The province should have a plan. Foreigners who travel to China are sometimes dissatisfied with the low cost. You should create good conditions and improve transportation, accommodation and facilities."

It is known as the Declaration of China's Tourism Reform and Opening-up!

Since then, the curtain of the tourism industry has been opened. At first, they wanted to earn foreign exchange and receive foreigners and overseas Chinese. The policy for domestic tourists is the three principles of no: no promotion, no publicity, and no opposition!

It is not allowed in principle, but if you come, you can have fun.

Lushan.

In the ticket office that was just built this year, a staff member yawned boredly, and the window was posted: Ticket price is 50 cents!

Later it rose to 160 yuan.

"Ding ding!"

Suddenly, a car sounded, and a small passenger car drove over and stopped. The door opened, and a car of bread people came down.

The ticket seller looked over there, and the other side also looked over here. Both sides were very nervous.

The group seemed to be discussing something. They sent two guys forward and asked uncertainly: "Hello, comrade, do you accept tourists?"

"What do you do?"

"Here are our credentials... We are from Nanchang. We are here to hold a technical exchange event and want to visit Lushan. Do you accept us?"

"Yes, just buy tickets."

"Does the mountain have food and accommodation?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Okay, then give me 20 tickets!"

The ticket seller grinned. 20 tickets, big deal!

The group got the tickets, and they were all very excited, mixed with incomprehensible words such as "I must go to the Pillow Flowing Stone", "Where is the small forest for reciting English", "Can I stay at the Lushan Hotel?"

Lushan has always been a place for senior cadres to recuperate. It is not open to the public. Not to mention other provinces, not many people from Jiangxi have been here.

A group of people went in happily and expectantly.

That’s right, there is no promotion for domestic tourism, but a movie like “Lush Mountain Love” came out, which is more effective than any promotion - to use the words of later Internet generations, this is called overwhelming wealth.
