1980 My literary era

The person who walked in was the clerk Xiao Gong. It was already afternoon when Yu Dong returned to Yanjing. He didn't go home. He ran directly to the company and stayed at the company for two hours. He had already finished get off work for a while.

Today is the weekend, and it was supposed to be a break, but because "Party A and Party B" had just been released, it was still work as usual.

At this time, everyone had withdrawn, but he was the only one still staying in the company.

"Mr. Yu, it's getting late, why don't you have some food?"

"You haven't left yet?"

Xiao Gong smiled and said, "I just finished my work and am leaving soon."

Yu Dong would not be disgusted by the positive behavior of his subordinates. Instead, he appreciated that he had just received good news from Manager Xu and was in a good mood.

"Just in time, I'm leaving too. You haven't eaten either, so come on and I'll treat you to a meal."

Yu Dong took Xiao Gong to prepare for dinner. When he left the company's store, it was already dark outside. The "King of Painting" editorial office next to Wenhua was still lit. He said to Xiao Gong, "Wait for me for a while!"

As he spoke, he entered the editorial office of "King of Painting". As soon as he entered the door, he saw several cartoonists who contributed to "King of Painting" hard at work.

Yan Kaifu, Chen Xiang and others still live in the dormitory of the family building of the Chinese Literature Society. The editorial office of "King of Painting" is a large space and they usually like to paint here.

"You guys haven't eaten yet? Come on, let's get together!" Yu Dong shouted to the group of people.

Yan Kaifu and others stopped painting and immediately became happy. Young people always like to make friends.

"Mr. Yu, Teacher Wang is here too."

"Then call."

Treating guests to a meal would rather leave a group behind than one person.

A group of seven or eight people walked along the road for a few minutes before arriving at the "Sichuan Sichuan Restaurant". Everyone usually patronizes this restaurant.

Yu Dong treated the guests and openly let everyone order. A few young people were not polite and only picked the expensive ones, while Yu Dong chatted with Wang Yongsheng.

"I see you have had a hard time for more than a month!"

"That's how it is when working in movies, especially in distribution. When you are free, you are extremely idle, and when you are busy, you are extremely busy." Yu Dong said with a smile.

"The movie has been released for a few days. How is the box office?"

Wang Yongsheng's question just hit Yu Dong's heart, and he couldn't help but show a bit of joy on his face, "Not bad."

Seeing this, Wang Yongsheng joked: "It seems to be quite good."

Everyone is acquaintances, Yu Dong no longer hides anything, and said with a happy face: "In three days, the Yanjing area won 2 million box office!"

Hearing this number, Wang Yongsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "This number...isn't low?"

Yu Dong nodded, "Quite high."

He gave Wang Yongsheng a brief introduction to the domestic film market and box office potential. The number of moviegoers in the Chinese film market reached its peak in the 1970s and 1980s. The highest number of moviegoers was 29.3 billion in 1989, an average of 29.3 billion people per person in China. For people, each person watches movies up to 29 times per year.

At that time, it was easy for a movie to have over 100 million viewers.

But in the next two years, the number of domestic moviegoers began to decline year by year. After 1993, this decline was irreversible and the magnitude was alarming.

The number of moviegoers has dropped sharply, and no matter how high the movie ticket price is, it cannot save the decline of the movie market.

Especially this year, the domestic movie box office has dropped below 1 billion yuan.

You must know that in 1989, the movie ticket price was only 30 cents, and the most expensive foreign movie was only 1 yuan, but the total box office for the year was as much as 2.7 billion yuan, which does not include a large number of rural screenings and movies that did not sell tickets. Popular science screening.

In just a few years, ticket prices have increased more than tenfold, but the total box office has declined instead of rising, which shows the sluggishness of the movie market.

According to incomplete statistics, in recent years, the box office of movie screenings in major cities such as Yanjing, Shanghai, and Yangcheng has often accounted for more than 50% of a movie's box office. The box office of other provincial capitals or important cities in China combined , barely able to compete with these first-tier cities.

In more third-tier cities and small counties, due to the sudden decrease in audiences, cinemas have long been unable to sustain themselves. Many cinemas have been converted into entertainment venues such as billiard halls and roller skating rinks, and there is no movie screening at all. Even if there is a screening, it will be monopolized by pirated copies.

"According to the current situation, Yanjing alone can get at least 8 million in box office, and the box office in several big cities can be at least 2,000 to several million, plus the box office in other cities..."

Before settling the accounts, Yu Dong couldn't help laughing as he thought about the bright prospects in the future.

"Not bad, really good. Your Wenhua's first film was released and it achieved such good results. It's very commendable, and Mr. Yu deserves a lot of your credit."

Yu Dong waved his hand, "I've only been here a few days, and it has little to do with me. It's all thanks to everyone."

"Don't be modest. Everyone has a share of the credit, but you, the leader, have the greatest credit."

While the two were talking, several young people next to them also finished ordering. Yan Kaifu said to Dong excitedly: "Brother Yu, we went to see the premiere of "Party A and Party B" a few days ago. It was so fun. The movie It was so fun to shoot.”

Wang Yongsheng smiled and said: "Look, this is the true voice of the people!"

Yu Dong also laughed and said: "With your approval, I feel relieved. I will have a drink with you later!"

The happy smiles on the faces of several young people suddenly disappeared, and they waved their hands repeatedly, "No more, no more, I have to catch up on the manuscript tonight!"

It has been almost three months since Yu Dong came to Wenhua Film and Television. After having two meals with everyone, his drinking capacity is really scary. They, the little partygoers, can't even hold on to two glasses of white wine, so every time they have to drink more.

Seeing that no one wanted to drink, Yu Dong smiled and said: "Then don't drink. I've been drinking too much lately, and I want to nourish my stomach!"

Without the pressure of drinking, the atmosphere at the table became happy again.

After the meal was over, everyone separated.

After running around for more than a month, Yu Dong finally returned home. His parents were watching TV and were surprised to see him back.

The mother's nose sniffed and found that Yu Dong didn't drink today. She said happily: "Why didn't you drink today?"

"You've been drinking outside for a month and you won't let me rest when you come back?"

Yu Dong suddenly sat down on the sofa, and his mother quickly stood up, "I'll heat up some food for you."

"No, I ate outside."

His eyes were fixed on the TV. What was playing on the screen was "Zhengda Variety Show". Ge You and Liu Bei participated in this show.

My father said: "This "Party A and Party B" is your company's movie, right?"

"Well, I came back just in time, otherwise I would have almost forgotten that today's program was broadcast. Didn't you read the tickets I gave you?" Yu Hua asked after hearing his father's question.

The father glanced at the mother and said, "Your mother gave it away!"

Yu Dong gave his mother a helpless look and gave away the movie tickets. Of course, this was not to help others, but to show off his mother nakedly.

The mother scolded the father and son.

"Stop talking and watch TV!"

"Watch TV!"

At Lin Weimin's house, Xiao Doubao became restless while watching TV and ran around all over the floor. Tao Huimin couldn't help but grab her and scolded her with a bluster.

Unfortunately, this kind of bravado couldn't scare the girl at all. As soon as Tao Huimin let her go, the little bean bag was running around in the living room again.

Tao Huimin said with a headache: "This girl doesn't look like a girl at all."

"There is nothing wrong with the child being a little angry. If you are as sick as Sister Lin all day long, you will be even more worried." Lin Weimin said.

While chatting about her daughter's personality, Tao Huimin thought of another thing: "There will be a New Year's Day party in their kindergarten in two days. You can go too."

"I'm not going, right?" Lin Weimin said.

It's not that he is so busy with work that he can't spare time to attend his daughter's kindergarten party. He is just afraid that going there will cause trouble in the kindergarten, and he is even more afraid of affecting his daughter.

"It doesn't matter. Your daughter's name is Lin Qianxun. Not many people have this name. People already know that her father is a great writer." Tao Huimin teased.

"Oh well."

Two days later, Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin came to Beihai Kindergarten to attend the New Year's Day party.

Beihai Kindergarten is the best public kindergarten in XC District. Lin Weimin and his wife have no idea of ​​chicken babies. They went to this kindergarten just because the school environment is good.

The name of the kindergarten is "Beihai", which is naturally related to Beihai. Beihai Kindergarten is located in the Silkworm Altar of Beihai Park, a royal garden of the Qing Dynasty. It has red walls and black tiles. The garden is lined with green trees, surrounded by flowers, and has a quiet environment.

Today is the day before the New Year's Day holiday. Normally it should be time for work, but there are not a few parents who came for today's New Year's Day party.

Lin Weimin and his wife, both talented and beautiful, coupled with the quirky and cute little bean buns, made the family of three instantly the focus of the party.

In the kindergarten party, the children are naturally the protagonists. All the programs are organized by the teachers and the children. Of course, there are also programs prepared by the parents for their children.

The children's programs including reciting ancient poems, singing children's songs, and group dances were not exquisite, but the children's words and innocence made people smile.

The parents' programs are interspersed with the children's programs. There are many parents who can send their children to Beihai Kindergarten. There are many parents who hide their secrets. Today, they also risked their lives for the children. Various programs are emerging one after another. Even Tao Huimin performed on the stage. A piece of Shaoxing opera triggered warm applause from many teachers, students and parents present.

Xiaodoubao stood at the front of the crowd, his face full of pride, "That's my mother!"

When Tao Huimin came off the stage, Xiaodoubao threw herself into her arms and said, "Mom, you are awesome!"

Tao Huimin kissed her face lovingly and asked, "Can you tell mom what show you are going to perform this time?"

Xiaodoubao didn't want to but shook his head firmly, "No."

The kindergarten is going to hold a New Year's Day party, and of course Xiaodoubao has to prepare a show, but she refuses to tell her parents about the show she is going to perform.

Tao Huimin said helplessly: "You little girl, you have a real idea!"

Xiaodoubao grinned, "Mom, just watch, my show is very fun!"

After staying in kindergarten for almost a year, Xiaodou Bao has become more and more like an older child.

Her program was ranked last, which aroused the curiosity of Lin Weimin and his wife.

After finally waiting until the end, the teacher who guest-hosted the show announced: Next, please enjoy the performance "Qianxun Fights the Tiger", performed by the entire Primary 2 class.

When they heard the name of the program, Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin looked at each other and had a bad feeling in their hearts.

A long time ago, there was no competition in the mountains and forests, and the little animals were happy every day. But suddenly one day, a tiger came to the mountain forest. He was cruel by nature and wanted to eat a small animal every day.

People in the mountains and forests are panicked, and small animals are afraid that they will become tiger food. It was rumored that Heroine Lin was so powerful in martial arts that she could kill a tiger with her bare hands, so the desperate little animals asked Heroine Lin Qianxun to help them subdue the tiger.

The compassionate Lin Nuxia came to the mountain forest at the begging of the small animals. She first tried to persuade the tiger, but the cruel tiger not only refused to listen to Lin Nuxia's advice, but even wanted to eat her. The heroine couldn't bear it anymore. , was forced to take action, and finally killed the tiger, and the peace and tranquility of the past returned to the forest.

Even though it is just a miniature drama in a kindergarten, the props and actors are quite well prepared.

The heroine Lin Qianxun was dressed in a fancy outfit, with a little fat man pretending to be a tiger that specializes in eating small animals, and a group of children from Class 2 playing monkey grandsons. After Xiaodoubao killed the tiger, they gathered around her and shouted loudly. "Long live the king".

The little bean bag man stands among the monkeys, with the tiger carcass under his feet and his hands on his waist, which is very majestic.

Tao Huimin looked at her daughter who was so majestic on the stage and couldn't help but said to Lin Weimin: "This daughter of yours really looks like you!"

"Why do you look like me?"

"Who else but your daughter could come up with such a crazy idea?"

Lin Weimin laughed, "Did she come up with this? "Journey to the West" + "Wu Song Fights the Tiger" + "The Fox Pretends to Pretend the Tiger"?"

"Don't underestimate your precious daughter. She has a wide range of knowledge. Do you think those cartoons, TV series, and fairy tales are all for nothing?"

"She is indeed my daughter!" Lin Weimin was greatly relieved.

Tao Huimin said quietly: "Don't be happy so early. Look at your daughter's behavior now, she is like a big sister!"

Lin Weimin looked at his daughter who was showing off her power in the middle of the stage and smacked her lips.

This little girl is really naughty!
