National Tide 1980

An older man sucked on a cigarette and continued to make the young people laugh with his most ready-made swear words.

"You know nothing, kid. Do you think rich people can go home and be imprisoned like you after get off work? Their lives are free, how can they be like you? I tell you, men only look at their wives' faces when they are poor. If a man has money, his wife will look at his face."

"Yes, that makes sense, it's so right. There is a kid in our neighbor's house. He used to work as a porter in the warehouse of the cement factory. He was like a mud monkey at work every day, not to mention that he was short and ugly, and a misshapen melon. Which girl would like him? Later, this kid quit his job and went to resell cigarettes. It is said that he set up a cigarette stand in front of the cinema with the smuggled cigarettes from Zhaogongkou. He earned more than 100,000 yuan in two years. Now this kid is successful and has married a beautiful wife. , the young couple never go home at night, almost every day they ride their motorcycles outside to play, I heard they dance disco and dance halls, they don't even cook. The guy's wife is said to be the daughter of a director, she is watching such a defective product, she is watching a baby all day long, she is very jealous, the guy and any woman talk a little more, she is not nose nose eyes not eyes. But the couple quarrels about this, every time the woman is beaten and runs back to her parents' home, guess what? She comes back in a few days, she is afraid to make room for others, let others take advantage of the opportunity. Brothers, tell me if this woman is a slut? She is marrying a person, she is marrying money. "

This comment on the current social phenomenon made others nod their heads frequently, it was so exciting.

So one person took over the conversation and expressed his feelings, telling the young people who initially claimed not to get married about their own experience.

"It is true that having money is different from not having money. But, brother, no matter what we say, don't get married. This is definitely true for you. It's not too late to think about this when you have a career. Otherwise, you might have a promising future, but it will be ruined once you get married. Doesn't dating waste time? Why do you have the energy to do business? Oh, dating is indeed interesting, but it can't be eaten as food? Before marriage, it's like honey, but after marriage, women don't look at men as attentive, and men don't look at women as fresh. What's the point!"

This is more realistic, and immediately attracted everyone to join in the fun.

Especially since they are now in a state of being thin and tall, and poor and short-sighted, this is like a realistic meaning that hits the lungs directly.

It turns out that the people who acted as trumpeters today are all folk music performers in the Beijing Song and Dance Troupe.

Nowadays, no one listens to folk music. They have no work except for one or two performances arranged by the troupe every month.

Cui Jian introduced them to the job because of their past relationship with his colleagues.

As a result, Yunyuan offered them a price of 100 yuan each.

Just playing a few songs was almost as much as their two-month salary, and they could also have a feast with him. This was a tempting and lucrative job in their eyes.

But then again, people who are engaged in art now like to put themselves in the group of cultural people.

They now take such jobs, which would have been considered a lowly job in the past. Although it is profitable, it is a bit awkward in their hearts.

This is a very contradictory thing.

That's not all, the funniest thing is still to come.

Just as this young man swore in a posture of listening to advice. "I won't get married, brothers, I will listen to you, I promise, I won't consider this matter before I am 30 years old."

As a result, at this time, several guests passed by their row of rooms.

These are all models under Pierre Cardin, who made an appointment to come together.

They were all tall and fashionable, talking and laughing. The close-up pictures of beauties made the drummers and sedan bearers in the room dizzy. They all came close to the glass.

Until the girls walked away, they were still staring at the girls behind them.

Especially the man who had just said he would not get married, he immediately forgot his vow and broke his promise.

He even couldn't help but open the door and follow them.

Someone next to him immediately pulled him, "What are you doing, what are you doing, where are you going?"

The young reason was legitimate.

"Why are you pulling me? I have to pee, I need to go to the toilet."

This man still held on, "Okay, let's go together, I want to pee too."

"Don't follow me," the young man said with disgust, "My shit stinks."

"I don't think you're a musk ox."

The young man had no choice but to admit, "Okay, brother, you should go to the bathroom by yourself. I won't go to the bathroom anymore. I'll find a chance to talk and see if I can get a phone call to solve my personal problems..."

The older man was happy now, which meant that he finally caught you and went first.

"Brother, what did you say just now? Please listen to me..."

Unfortunately, just when he was about to talk about the old saying, he was scolded as soon as he said it.

"Fuck you," the young man finally lost his patience, broke free of his hand, and shouted at his face, "Don't worry about me, I'm willing to destroy myself."

Then he ran out of the house and chased after the beautiful figure.

The one who persuaded him was stunned on the spot, and then shook his head and sighed, while a burst of laughter broke out around him.

…………

In this era, not everyone has the courage to strike up a conversation. Perhaps only people in the literary and artistic circles have the courage to do so.

After all, they all have to perform on stage.

If something happens during the performance, they have to hold on. This is the basic quality of a qualified actor.

To be fair, in this era when most people are ashamed to express their affection for the opposite sex, young men who can take the initiative are still very advantageous.

Because compared with most cowards who have lustful desires but no courage, they appear more manly, and most of them are good at speaking.

But the problem is that specific situations must be analyzed specifically.

Just like today's occasion, this young man who saw a beautiful girl and followed her without hesitation, even if he was abandoned by his friends and relatives and broke his promise, was really a little blinded by lust.

He was destined to return empty-handed, and if he was not careful, he would be laughed at.

Not for anything else, but because the time, place, and target were all wrong, and he had no advantage in the right time, place, and people.

You know, the wedding held by Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko in Yunyuan today can be said to be able to surpass the top level of all weddings in mainland China in this era.

In such an environment, in Yunyuan, whether it is the girls among the guests or the girls working here, they all fell into an unrealistic daydream because of the pomp of this wedding.

What they saw and heard made all the girls' hearts swell.

Who doesn't want such a gorgeous wedding?

As long as the girls are not married, they have the right to dream like this.

So a poor boy is brave, humorous, and even handsome, but he lacks attraction when he talks to girls in such occasions.

Not to mention that the girl he likes is not an ordinary girl, she is a famous model affiliated with Pierre Cardin who has seen the world.

Even if there are a few who have not signed a contract with Pierre Cardin, they are also excellent students who graduated from modeling schools.

And they have all participated in the competition and ranked well, so they can continue to stay in Beijing and receive wedding invitations.

Almost all of these girls started this career and became famous when the model contest was popular.

Their ambitions were as high as their height.

They all had clear goals, pointing to the word "utilitarian".

They were no longer innocent, but more calculating, which was the biggest difference between them and the first generation of mainland models.

In fact, they wished that they had considered their future and planned their marriage according to the most secular requirements when they decided to take this path.

If anyone could hear the content of these girls' chats along the way, they would know.

No matter which boy, no matter how excellent his personal conditions are, as long as he is not a rich man or a foreigner, it would be boring to actively pursue such a "tall" girl.

"Oh my, look at it, how much money would it cost to hold such a wedding in such a place? It's the Japanese big stars who enjoy it and are blessed. What is a grand wedding? This is a grand wedding."

Miss A said with envy, especially when she walked in and saw the big garden and wedding tent, which made her so excited that she thought she had come to heaven.

So she immediately suggested not to rush to the table, but to walk around in the garden and rockery first.

"What is there to envy? Do you think that today's wedding banquet was paid by Matsumoto Keiko? You're kidding, it was paid by the man. The third boss of Pierre Cardin is really capable. I heard that Manager Ning became a multi-millionaire a few years ago with the patents of easy-to-pull ties and trolley suitcases. What's so special about Japanese big stars? It's just a pretty face. Cut, if you compare heads, Matsumoto Keiko is less than 1.65 meters tall. I really don't know what Manager Ning thinks. He is obviously a member of our fashion industry, but he actually fell in love with her..."

B continued.

She is the kind of girl who can't accept reality and has always been cautious in her actions.

She doesn't like to take action, but only likes to criticize people and things she doesn't like.

Judging by the standards of decades later, this is a natural keyboard warrior.

However, her words may not be accepted by others, and Miss C immediately raised an objection.

"Don't say that grapes are sour. Whether you can capture a man's heart depends on your ability. According to what you said, Manager Ning is a member of the fashion industry, so he has seen many beautiful girls. So how can it be that simple? Relying on face? I heard that the champion of the first competition, Qu Xiao, was made famous by Manager Ning. She doesn't have a face, she has a good figure, and she is not much worse than the champion of the last competition, Ye Jihong. But why didn't Manager Ning fall in love with her? I have never heard of any scandals between the two of them. So this is enough to prove that things between men and women are not that simple. Think about it again, how about Teacher Liu in our school? She looks so-so, her skin is not good, and she is divorced. She is just a little better in figure, but she also got a 'rich man'."

Her words immediately resonated with many people. The teacher Liu she mentioned was a physical teacher of the ballet company and also a model training for Pierre Cardin.

She got divorced last year and recently married a single old Chinese immigrant from Canada who had a farm and went abroad. Of course, she also quit her job.

When she left, the whole ballet company and the model school regarded her as a legend.

However, what B couldn't stand the most was the cunningness of the married teacher Liu. She couldn't help but retort, "It's not like her to marry that old man. She walks like a bellows, breathing hard. I see He’s old enough to be her grandfather.”

"Age doesn't matter." Model Ding also spoke, "I've already gone abroad anyway. It doesn't matter if the old man dies. Maybe the slutty bitch named Liu can be replaced by a better man. A woman only needs to get divorced once, and she'll be happy in the future. It would be easier to get divorced. No matter who you live with."

She paused for a moment and then continued, "Take the slut named Liu for example. Of course she didn't marry the old man for love, but to go abroad. There is nothing wrong with that. Even if the old man she is looking for is not good, he doesn't have any children. , After a few years with him, there will be no one left, and it won’t be a bad idea to inherit the inheritance.”

Model A then turned back and smiled at Model D, "Now I can analyze all the problems. No wonder I heard that you also have someone."

There is no doubt that the "someone" she refers to refers to Model Ding who is having a heated relationship with a "rich man".

However, what he didn't expect was that Model Ding said angrily, "Get rid of him. That guy is just a haberdashery dealer. He doesn't actually have much money. He borrows his uncle's work to drive a Santana all day long. I guess all his money The wealth is at most 300,000 to 400,000 yuan. Look at this, how can I compare? Moreover, he is so dark and short. He is almost as tall as Wu Dalang when he reaches my shoulders."

This attitude not only caused a few people to laugh, but also immediately triggered C's advice.

"Ouch, it's scary to hear your tone. You can't even see three or four hundred thousand yuan. I said, stop being so unrealistic. You're almost content. You have to know that in the first few years, one hundred thousand yuan It’s enough to shock people. Your price is several times higher than 100,000 yuan. How many people are there in the world who are handsome and rich like this? Are his standards good?”

"Why can't I search according to such standards? I just want both people and money. Is that okay? Of course I know that there are very few people like Manager Ning, and I am certainly not Matsumoto Keiko. But I want to lower my standards in all aspects. I’ll go to the head office. If I have decent looks, I’ll be fine with one hundred and two hundred thousand dollars for the movie. I’ve decided that the money can be a little less, but the appearance must be acceptable.”

"That's absolutely impossible." A retorted this time with great determination, "These men nowadays are each meaner than the last. When he was poor, he could beat his chest and write you a love letter, but once he had money, he would smile and pick on you. , look at your uncoordinated appearance. And you must also understand that money is still more important than people, because money is not easy to find, but it is easier to find decent people. Think about it, my dear. Our parents' generation looked for class status, and later they looked for people with "good fathers", and then later they looked for people with "overseas connections." What's the use of those? Or are the current standards straightforward and just look for people with money? . I believe this standard will never change again, so money is the ultimate goal of human development.”
