Chapter 101: It's Him
Opening a letter of introduction is a bit of a hidden danger for public and private use, and the crime can be characterized by using power for personal gain to enrich one's own pockets -- this is still a crime added to speculation, and according to people's concepts at this time, it is only serious to disrupt the socialist economic order or something, and if it is small, no one asks, it can be regarded as if it has not happened.
Although referring to the previous master and apprentice, half of the profits have been set for project research, the stamped letter of introduction is also very simple to write, and most of the formats are similar: "I hereby have a certain comrade from my unit to contact your unit XX business, please contact and help." As for the beginning and end of this salute, it is a cliché, of course, the most important thing is the round seal on the name of the unit at the end.
Ye Minde, as the deputy dean in charge of graduate teaching in the college, wanted to use the chapter to open his mouth, but Zheng Jianguo did not respond directly, according to his idea, once he took the letter of introduction, it was to leave a bottom in the cinema, and he didn't know what disgusting things would happen when he was remembered by someone with a heart, but what he wanted to do was to speculate, and at this time he already faintly felt that the consequences of taking the letter of introduction were very serious, and immediately said: "I'll try it." ”
Seeing that Zheng Jianguo was quite in a posture of hitting Nanshan, Ye Minde also gave him the label of "starting to swell", and there was a ready-made way not to go to climb the mountain, which was already a manifestation of "not listening to the old man" in the old man's opinion.
Zheng Jianguo went out with the money, and sent away half of the snake Ye Zhenkai: "I'll go to the Red Star Cinema, you go to Brother Shen and Sister Tao, and let them separate up to see how many movie theaters around the academy will hold this movie week, and come back before noon to tell me." ”
"Be careful when you take the money. ”
Ye Zhenkai went to the academy after admonishing him, Zheng Jianguo felt the money in the socks in the trousers, and the largest denomination of the RMB in circulation at this time was ten yuan, so the thickness of one thousand yuan was comparable to ten thousand yuan in memory, and the old thick stack.
Ye Zhenkai was a little nervous, that was because he knew that Zheng Jianguo had money, but the latter did not have his vigilance, before going out, he specially changed a pair of socks that reached his calf, just to stuff the money into it and put it close to his legs.
Transferring from Xueyuan Road to the Red Star Cinema, Zheng Jianguo saw a crowd of people at the entrance of the theater before he got off the car, and when he got off the bus with the passengers next to him, he was vaguely asking about movie tickets: "Did you buy "Youth"?
"I'm out of three-five-"
"You're calling it a mess—"
The sound of commotion came and went, Zheng Jianguo looked at the queue to buy tickets were almost on the road, if he didn't know that these people were buying today's movie, he would have immediately turned around and left, at this time, he entered the ticket gate with a little apprehension, there was still half an hour before the start of the movie in the morning, many staff were hanging around the ticket gate, looking at the nearest young girl and beckoning: "Hello, comrade." ”
"Hello, comrade, is there something wrong?"
The girl looked at Zheng Jianguo wearing a blue gown and black trousers with double mille-feuille soles, looking similar to the old cadres, but when she got closer, she looked at his young face and bearing that was very different from others, her eyes fell on the drawing board in front of him, and a thought flashed in her mind: "Ask about this movie week?"
"I want to buy some movie tickets for these two films in advance, I don't know what procedures are required for our theater?"
Zheng Jianguo pointed to the pictorials of "Pursuit" and "Wangxiang" and asked, and saw that the girl had already turned around and shouted: "Brother Li, Brother Li, this comrade wants to buy some tickets for this movie——"
"Oh, little comrade, do you really want to buy it?!"
As the girl's shouting spread, the eyes of a circle of people next to him fell on Zheng Jianguo, and a middle-aged man walked out of several staff members at the ticket gate, not tall and a little thin, his cheeks were yellow and looked a little sickly, Zheng Jianguo ignored the attention of others next to him, but took out his student ID card and inquired about the movie week: "Since it is a movie week, it should be a show, right?"
"Graduate student of Qi Provincial Medical College - this comrade, let's talk about it?"
The middle-aged man took the student ID card and looked at it, he thought he was a college student, he didn't expect to see the word graduate student, and immediately turned around and pointed to the entrance with a face full of surprise, Zheng Jianguo also nodded and followed inside, the middle-aged man already said with a suspicious face: "Comrade graduate student, do you want to buy a few movie tickets? Oh, you are only 16 years old - 16-year-old graduate student? You are the youngest graduate student?"
"Yes, comrade, do we have movie tickets in advance?"
Zheng Jianguo's student ID card has a major and age, and this person's brain can turn so slowly has made him a little disappointed in his name, and immediately smiled: "My classmates and I want to study——"
"Welcome, welcome, welcome you and your classmates to study, our cinema has been scheduled for next week's movie week, I wonder how many of your classmates are ready to watch?"
The middle-aged man with a surprised face turned a little red for some reason, and after handing him his student ID card, he looked at the door again, and Zheng Jianguo knew that it was time to make a long story short: "There are probably hundreds of people, but they are seen in batches, how many of them are sold here?"
"How many more are on sale? Now as long as there is a pre-order, I will sell it, Lao Miao, I will take this comrade to the ticket office, you are optimistic about the door." ”
The middle-aged man's yellow face suddenly became a little ruddy, and he shouted at the door and took Zheng Jianguo to the small door next to him, and said: "Xiao Zhu, this comrade wants to buy a movie ticket for a little devil, by the way, comrade graduate student, when are you going to buy it?"
"This, aren't there many people watching this film?"
Zheng Jianguo asked his doubts for a long time, he had this idea when he heard the scalper at the door talk about it yesterday, plus what he heard and saw before, he couldn't believe it: "How can that also be foreign——"
"Foreign countries also have to look at which country, Xiao said this devil, hum. ”
In the ticket room, the girl named Xiao Zhu quickly answered when she heard it, and the middle-aged man couldn't help but smile bitterly: "These little devils made such a big murder back then, and now they want to show their movies, and this ticket is not easy to sell, but considering that the pomp is required above, we can only find a way to send——"
The middle-aged man had a look that you understand, and Zheng Jianguo understood what was going on, the movie that had not yet been released had encountered a legacy problem - the word boycott was not unfamiliar in his memory, on the contrary, it would pop up every once in a while, but he didn't expect this to make him meet, thinking about the money prepared in the two sock tubes, he immediately showed a bright smile on his face: "Our classmates can't get together in class during the day, so from Wednesday after 13 o'clock to the evening, a hundred tickets per show——"
"A hundred tickets per show from 13 p.m.?"
Xiao Zhu was stunned and turned his head to look at the middle-aged man beside him, the latter nodded quietly, then stood up and pulled out a big box from the cabinet next to him, turned around and opened his mouth at Zheng Jianguo with an inquiring face: "There are 4 games from 13 o'clock to 20 o'clock, that is, 400 tickets?"
"Yes, we have already divided it, if there are 400 people a day, exactly 2,000 people in five days, and some family members. ”
Zheng Jianguo watched Xiao Zhu take out the ticket book from the big box and said, regardless of her surprise, he looked at the ticket book in his hand and said, "This ticket is much more beautiful than the one outside." ”
"Ah, yes, it's more beautiful than the outside, this movie week pays more attention to it, and it is necessary to use the largest theater to schedule the film and specially let the printing house print the tickets. ”
The middle-aged man looked at Zheng Jianguo in surprise, and finally looked him up and down, and continued: "Comrade graduate student, you, did you bring so much money?"
"Brought it. ”
Zheng Jianguo said and walked out of the ticket room, turned his back to his ankle and took the money, and listened to Xiao Zhu's voice inside as if he couldn't suppress his mouth and said: "Brother Li, we have sold so much in one shot, we are-"
Xiao Zhu didn't finish his words and lost his voice, Zheng Jianguo already knew what problems the movie theater had encountered at this time, so he directly took the money and entered the ticket room, only to feel that this opportunity was too coincidental: "Brother Li, this is 600 yuan for 2,000 copies of "Pursuit" and 2,000 copies of "Wangxiang" - or, give me another 200 copies of the two shows at night?"
"Okay, Xiao Zhu will give the middle position to the graduate student comrade first. ”
Hearing that there were more than 200 tickets, the middle-aged man frowned and said, he has been doing this for more than ten years, and there are so many scalpers at the door who are wandering around, so he regarded the two hundred more tickets that Zheng Jianguo asked for as a small action when he took advantage of the ticket to buy tickets for the unit, although he didn't know what the purpose was, but he immediately disliked it in his heart, and raised his feet and went out after speaking.
"You want to resell it while someone wants to see it, right?"
As the middle-aged man left, Xiao Zhu, who had ordered the money, raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Jianguo, with a smile on his small round face, but he remembered that no one was afraid that no one would watch these movies, so he immediately helped him count the tickets and said: "Little devil's movie, I'm afraid that no one will watch it-"
"Well, thank you. ”
When Xiao Zhu counted the movie tickets and handed them in his hand, the big stone in Zheng Jianguo's heart finally landed, turned around and looked outside the door and began to let people into the gate, and felt that it was not bad to reveal some news to this person: "Do you want to see what the current book is like? Do you want to know the suffering of prostitutes? ”
Xiao Zhu is a girl, she naturally does not care about the suffering of the prostitute, but whether it is a boy or a girl, she is still more curious about what it is like abroad at this time, and the previous reports have used "dire water" to describe it, so a few days later, on October 23, 1978, when the first screening of "Manhunt", she quietly entered the theater that could accommodate more than 600 people.
The lights in the theater before the broadcast were bright, Xiao Zhu looked at the theater where no third of the theater had been sparsely seated, and soon the lights went out and the picture appeared on the screen, but after the picture of the high Baitou Mountain that appeared with the sound, there was an unbelievable perspective with the music that had never heard of the rhythm: "These, are they high-rise buildings?!"
On the wide screen, I don't know how tall the building stands proudly among the many small buildings, at this time, as the producer's name Nagata Masaichi flashed, a dense crowd of people appeared on the street one after another, Xiao Zhu was immediately frightened, how could she have seen so many people crowded on such a street, not to mention that as the camera zoomed in, the long-haired man of the perm woman made her almost can't believe her eyes, how can a man keep the short hair that only a woman can have?!
"Jianguo, you said that if I had this hairstyle—"
In the dark theater, Ye Zhenkai, who had watched it three times, looked at the long-haired man who had disappeared in a flash and said that Zheng Jianguo, who was sitting next to him, stared at the screen without looking back before finding the policeman's red-dressed girl and said, "Then the teacher will personally shave you a bare." ”
"Really, all evil capitalism—"
On Zheng Jianguo's right, Shen Yunhui stared at the slender figure of the girl in the red dress with a pair of big eyes, and Tao Ye next to him had a pair of eyes on the screen, as if he did not have any reaction to the conversation between the three of them.
"Don't talk, watch movies!"
There was a faint scolding sound behind the four people, Zheng Jianguo turned his head to look and found that several people were glaring at him, so he felt as if he was angry, and then someone next to him muttered: "I don't know if you don't make a noise?
At this time, it has been four or five days since the release of "Manhunt", and Zheng Jianguo has watched it several times, this is not to say that the movie tickets in his hand have not been sold out, no matter how tight the tickets are, they have not been sold, so they can be smashed in his own hands.
Of course, this situation only appeared at the beginning, four cinemas for four consecutive days and four times a day are 200 movie tickets, which is worth 1,920 yuan 12,800, originally he thought that the heat would break out on the third day, but what he didn't expect was that the ticket price was targeted by scalpers on the first day, directly from one dime to five cents, and the next day it was turned to one piece - it is said that there are very good close-ups in the movie.
Triggered by the legendary close-up, the ticket price on the third day rose to a piece of five, but unfortunately the tickets for this day were sold by Zheng Jianguo when he was eight cents on the second day, and the tickets for the fourth day were sold at the price of one piece of five on the third day, and the price at the door of the movie reached one piece of eight.
On the fifth day, there was news that the movie would no longer be broadcast after the end of the week, and the retail sales of ticket prices directly broke through two yuan under the surging crowd, and Zheng Jianguo, who was happy to accept it, still sold it at the price of five yuan, so on the fifth day, he even sold all the tickets for tomorrow, and when he was in a good mood, he took the three people who had been tired for a few days to watch a movie and relax.
According to Zheng Jianguo's appreciation, the movie "Pursuit" is not as profound as "Wangxiang" next door, the latter reflects the book under the bacteriform with the tragic life of a female prostitute, which has a strong realistic critical significance and shocking appeal, of course, the smooth back of the heroine in it is what many viewers pay attention to at this time, just like the incarnation of Bai Fumei in "Manhunt" to save the framed hero.
If "Atlas of the Sea Kingdom" allowed the domestic elite to re-understand the world, then "Manhunt", which is composed of modern high-tech products such as toad mirrors, windbreakers, leather coats, gentry clothes, oily hair, ties, flower arrangements, toilets, single-lens reflex cameras, and private jets, opened the eyes of the domestic public for the first time, and even reconstructed the worldview and values of life.
At this time, Zheng Jianguo's attention also wandered around the pilot sunglasses on the face of the protagonist Du Qiu and the windbreaker on his body, most people think that the toad mirror was brought in by the American drama "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic", but few people will know that the protagonist who really caused the trend is Mr. Ken Takakura on the screen at this time, the reason is that there are many more people who can see the TV series than the movie, and the toad mirror is not popular at this time.
Of course, this is all happening in Zheng Jianguo's memory, he can now focus on the masters, and it is not that this idol and male god of countless Chinese people is too charming: "Brother Ye, if someone sells a toad mirror for five yuan, will you buy it?!"
"Buy—"
Ye Zhenkai subconsciously replied, only to remember that his voice was a little high, and he turned his head and almost lay on Zheng Jianguo: "Jianguo, do you know where it is sold?"
"Be quieter!"
"You're still not going to let people see this?"
"Don't look at the fuck off~"
"Underwhelming!"
In the shouting one after another, Ye Zhenkai, who had provoked everyone's anger, watched Zheng Jianguo slip out of his seat, and vaguely heard a voice from behind: "It's not this, it should still be in front-"
Zheng Jianguo, who had slipped out of the seat, raised his head slightly, looked at the three or four flashlights behind the movie theater, and five or six people were looking for people in the aisle one by one, and immediately jumped out vigilantly: "You all threw away the movie tickets on you, right?"
"Thrown away~"
Ye Zhenkai, Tao Ye and Shen Yunhui nodded in unison, the movie ticket was waste paper after the opening, and Zheng Jianguo had already told him, so he immediately said as if he remembered something: "The money is also put away, make sure that others can't find it." ”
"That's good, if you're looking for us, do as I say, whoever becomes a traitor, don't blame me for making trouble with him, continue to watch movies. ”
Zheng Jianguo nodded and turned back to continue watching the movie, at this time, the movement behind was getting louder and louder, and the audience who had been looking at the four people with horizontal noses and vertical eyes also looked back, and the flashlights in the four aisles kept pushing forward, and the voice became louder and louder: "The four of them are easy to find, three men and one woman-"
"Three men and one woman—"
Zheng Jianguo, who was looking at the screen, blinked, he didn't feel good just by hearing this, and sure enough, as the movement behind him became bigger and bigger, Tao Ye, who was sitting in the first row, was pointed in the face by a flashlight, and then the flashlight pointed at Shen Yunhui and Ye Zhenkai and Zheng Jianguo respectively, and a faintly cheerful voice sounded: "Found it, all four people are here." ”
"Get up. ”
Seeing the middle-aged man with a flashlight in his hand shouting and drinking, Zheng Jianguo knew that this person was not a big deal, so he immediately sat down in his seat and said, "What are you doing?"
"I'm from the theater security department, and the four of you are suspected of speculation, now stand up and follow me, don't disturb other audiences watching the movie. ”
The middle-aged man took a flashlight and slammed it on Zheng Jianguo's face and said, Zheng Jianguo turned his face sideways and said: "Take away the flashlight, show me your work card, and speculatively charge this crime, you are not qualified to define it, what about the police? Have you taken the policeman's work card?"
"I'm not qualified? As the head of the security section of the movie theater, I am not qualified to say that you are opportunistic?"
The middle-aged man with stubble on his face smiled, and the flashlight in his hand swept over Zheng Jianguo's face, and a few voices sounded in the theater: "Haha, Section Chief Wang is not qualified to say that you are speculative, you are not local, right?"
"We are all graduate students of Qi Provincial Medical College, I am Zheng Jianguo, Comrade Wang, I tell you now, no matter which unit you are the head of the security section, you are not qualified to say that I am speculative, this is only recognized by the industrial and commercial department, do you confirm that you have this qualification?"
Zheng Jianguo still didn't stand up, since he was ready to toss movie tickets and didn't admit it, at this time he had no movie tickets and no money to sell movie tickets, as for the purchase and sale of movie tickets, he didn't leave any handwriting, even if the conductor personally identified him, he dared not admit it, relying on his identity as a graduate student and his great reputation.
The middle-aged man with a stubble on his face was completely stunned, and he didn't care about whether he was qualified to think that others were speculating, but what he cared about was the identity of this "speculative leader": "Graduate students, all four of them are graduate students?"
In 1978, when college students were the pride of the sky, middle-aged people understood very well that this title one level higher than that of college students meant that people were not young people who had dropped out of school and returned to the city to know youth, even if they were to be arrested and beaten and handed over to the police station, he believed that no one would find trouble for himself, and he should laugh if he could go out.
It's just that the graduate students are different, and they are still from Qi Provincial Medical College!
"Look at his student ID. ”
I don't know who muttered something behind him, the middle-aged man quickly came back to his senses, moved the flashlight away from Zheng Jianguo's face, and said, "Show me your student ID." ”
"It's okay for you to see, but you can't give it to you, I'm afraid you'll tear it up for me. ”
Zheng Jianguo stood up at this time, took it out of his pocket and opened it to the middle-aged man, glanced at the more than a dozen rows of people behind him and said: "Even if the industrial and commercial people make a determination, they must pay attention to human and physical evidence, they all say that catching thieves and catching dirty people and taking treachery and taking pairs, now is the time for the legal society to talk about evidence, not the time to just post a big-character poster to get people in the past, and I reserve the right to complain to your superiors." ”
"Zheng Jianguo, 1978 microbiology major, 16 years old, graduate student——"
The flashlight flickered on the student ID, and the middle-aged man saw a big red stamp stamped on the photo, and his eyes followed the professional age, but when he saw the 16-year-old, his eyes fell on the word graduate student again, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, so he raised his eyes and looked at the photo and looked at the person, and opened his mouth with a surprised face: "You are the youngest graduate student in Qi Province?"
"Well, Section Chief Wang, I am the youngest graduate student in the Republic!"
Zheng Jianguo was not used to showing off in front of so many people, his voice lowered by more than 20 decibels, put the student ID card into his arms, and said: "If Section Chief Wang thinks I am suspicious, at least you have to bring evidence over, right?
"Well, misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. ”
Before the middle-aged man could speak, a young man next to him who was hidden behind a few people suddenly spoke, and then leaned in the middle-aged man's ear and said: "Section Chief Wang, Zheng Jianguo in the youth newspaper in the newspaper column of our compound should be him!"
Section Chief Wang's expression changed slightly, and then he turned his head to look at the young man sitting at the aisle behind him, and saw that he got up and left directly, and immediately turned around and whispered: "Then don't look at it, it's not too early this day, go back quickly." ”
As the colors on the big screen darkened, Zheng Jianguo only saw a vague back when he turned his head to look, and a thought flashed in his mind and nodded: "Okay, let's go." ”
