After finishing the concert, Xu Wangqiu and Xu Wangchuan took the train back to Rongcheng. When he walked to the gate of the factory, Xu Wangqiu found that the brand of Factory 132 had changed, from Xiumei Machinery Factory to Rongcheng Aircraft Company. It seems that it is just a new brand, but Xu Wangqiu knows that the factory has begun to transform. Like other domestic military enterprises, Factory 132 is about to start taking the road of military to civilian.

Like the film studio, for a long time, the wages and benefits of military enterprises were superior, and the living facilities were complete, and they were a good unit that countless people envied. However, with the advent of the tide of reform, the army gave way to the economy, which led to a significant reduction in orders from a large number of military factories, and military enterprises were forced to embark on the road of transformation.

Military enterprises began to turn to civilian use, and film studios will soon be characterized as public institutions, and they will begin to account independently and be responsible for their own profits and losses. Xu Wangqiu didn't think about the connection until he recently attended a meeting about export companies and realized that it was actually caused by economic problems.

In July 1977, the State Planning Commission proposed to spend 6.5 billion US dollars in the next eight years to import technology and equipment from abroad, focusing on the development of the petrochemical industry. But some leaders are hot-headed and have made a leap forward, planning to bring in $80 billion in projects over the next decade. The state fiscal revenue is only 80 billion yuan, and the foreign exchange is only a few hundred million dollars. This program was discontinued in 1979, but many contracts were signed for the introduction of projects. As a result, in 1979 and 1980 the country ran severe foreign exchange and fiscal deficits.

In order to solve the financial problem and balance the revenue and expenditure, the military industry began to convert the military into civilian use, and other enterprises implemented the practice of appropriating and replacing loans. This policy solves the fiscal problem, but it also leaves a lot of hidden dangers. However, at the same time, the profits of enterprises still have to be handed over to the treasury, and many state-owned enterprises are quickly falling into the predicament of losing money, and many high-tech enterprises in need of financial support have since become more and more distant from developed countries, such as the electronics industry, because they have not received support.

In the last life, when ZTE and Huawei were stuck by the Americans, many people angrily asked why they didn't develop semiconductors earlier. In fact, it is precisely because of the appropriation of loans, the state no longer allocates funds, and a large number of scientific research funds have been cut, resulting in enterprises unable to carry out research and development. For example, the Beiping Electron Tube Factory (later BOE) wanted to launch the LCD project, but it was aborted due to the lack of national investment.

The same is true for film studios, after being transformed into public institutions, the state gives each factory a certain amount of working capital every year to assist production. By the late 80s, the average cost of each film was close to 1 million, and the state appropriation was still so much that it was simply not enough to organize production, and film studios had to borrow money from banks. By the early 90s, several domestic film studios were all burdened with heavy debts. For example, in the late 80s, Western Film Studio was in the limelight, won a lot of awards internationally, and made a lot of popular movies with a good box office, but because of unified purchase and sales, it couldn't make money, and its debt was as high as 20 million.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Wangqiu suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting, "Second brother, second brother", and when he looked up, he saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, like a happy little rabbit, running quickly under the sun.

Xu Wangbei took the bag from Xu Wangqiu's hand and asked happily: "Second brother, eldest brother, why did you come back? Sister Su Bai has been back for half a month. ”

"I have something to do with my eldest brother. Xu Wangqiu found that he hadn't seen him for a year, and his sister had grown a lot, so he stretched out his hand and gestured, and said in surprise, "Wangbei, you have grown a lot, and you have become a big girl." ”

Xu Wangbei smiled proudly, revealing his white and neat teeth: "I'm already an adult!" and asked Xu Wangchuan again: "Big brother, look at me, do you grow taller?"

Xu Wangchuan pretended to look at Xu Wangbei and said with a smile: "I have really grown a lot taller!"

Xu Wangqiu's three brothers and sisters walked home with a smile, and no one stopped saying hello to Xu Wangqiu along the way. "Mom Loves Me Again" made Xu Wangqiu a celebrity, and "Hoe Rape" took his reputation to a higher level. When the parents in the factory teach their children, they all take him as an example, you look at Xu Wangqiu, and then look at you!

After returning home, Xu Wangqiu completely put down the movie and was busy for the New Year. Preparing New Year's goods, pushing dumplings, buying Spring Festival couplets, etc., are all handled by him. He hasn't been home for a year, and he won't have much time at home next year, so he hopes to use this time to spend time with his family and do something for the family.

Every time Xu Wangqiu went to Su Zhensheng's house, Su Zhensheng would always pull him to talk about movies. talked about "Mom Loves Me Again", talked about "Hoe Rape", and also talked about his new movie "Maple". Xu Wangqiu remembered that the "Maple" in the previous life was the work of director Zhang Yi of Xiuying Studio, but he didn't expect the script to run into Su Zhensheng's hands this time.

On the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Wangqiu's family of five came to Su Bai's house. They came to pay New Year's greetings and also came to watch TV, because CCTV will broadcast a live video of the "Into the New Era" concert tonight. Xu Wangqiu originally wanted to go to the factory to see it, but when he borrowed the key from Su Zhensheng, he scolded him, saying that you can't just come to my house to see it.

Su Zhensheng's TV is an imported 14-inch Hitachi color TV, which cost nearly 3,000 yuan. Imported color TVs are not only expensive, but also not something that can be bought if you want to, you must have a color TV ticket. Su Zhensheng caused a sensation all over the country because of "Mom Loves Me Again", and won honor for the Xichuan Film System, and the province awarded him a color TV supply ticket, so he got the opportunity to buy a color TV.

If Xu Wangqiu wants to engage in color TV, he will definitely be able to get it. Just considering that Xu Wangbei is already in high school, in case she is addicted to watching TV and affects her studies, it will be a big sin. Even if Xu Wangbei is not addicted to TV, and there is a TV at home, the next-door neighbor will definitely come over to watch it, so she shouldn't think about studying quietly.

Su Bai's family was extremely enthusiastic about Xu Wangqiu's arrival, and they poured water with them, and they took sugar and fruits. After greetings, Su Bai pulled Xu Wangbei and muttered and spoke; Xie Chunhong chatted with Su Bai's sister and sister-in-law about the short topic of the family, and then went to the kitchen to work; Xu Wangqiu and their father and son talked to Su Zhensheng and Su Bai's eldest brother Su Weitian.

After dinner, the two families sat in front of the television as if they were a family.

There are very few TV programs in this era, but "News Network" already has it. Xu Wangqiu hadn't watched "News Network" for more than ten years, and listening to the familiar music, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. The current host of "News Network" is Zhao Zhongxiang, who is used to listening to his "Animal World", and listening to him host "News Network" again, there is a feeling of time and space disorder.

Like Xu Wangqiu and the others, there were many audience members sitting in front of the TV waiting to watch the live video of the concert. Audiences in Beiping, Tianjin, Modu and Yangcheng are looking forward to the concert. When the concert was performed in the surrounding cities, it was widely reported in the local media, but it was well known. Now when I heard that CCTV was going to play the video of the concert, people who missed the concert for various reasons sat in front of the TV, waiting to watch the video of the concert.

It is no exaggeration to say that because of the "Into the New Era" concert, the night was extraordinarily quiet in all four cities.

Hu Qingming's family and Fan Jun's family also sat in front of the TV, waiting to watch the concert. Hu Qingming and Fan Jun really hated Xu Wangqiu, and it stands to reason that they would not praise Xu Wangqiu. They came to watch the concert to find faults, because Hu Qingming heard that there was Li Guyi in the concert, and he also sang a lot of beautiful sounds.

In October 1979, the movie "Little Flower" was released. The interlude "Sister Looking for Brother Tears Flowing" was sung by Li Guyi, who boldly tried to apply the soft and breathy singing methods used in Western opera and Chinese classical opera to modern songs. It was this attempt that made Li Guyi famous outside the circle. Some critics think that the song is sung inappropriately, but because the theme of the film is revolutionary, they can only mumble to themselves and cannot publicly criticize it.

On New Year's Day in 1980, the Central People's Radio "Weekly Song" broadcast the song "Hometown Love". This song is an episode of the landscape film "The Legend of the Three Gorges", produced by CCTV. At that time, many songs were broadcast by radio stations before the official broadcast of film and television dramas. After the broadcast of "Hometown Love", while winning praise and affirmation, there were also a lot of criticisms and crusades. There are even high-ranking officials in charge of ideology who named "Hometown Love" and said that it was a beautiful voice.

Hu Qingming and they are here for this, if the concert really has a lot of "Hometown Love" such a glamorous sound, then the whole concert will become the object of criticism, and Xu Wangqiu and his backstage will be unlucky.

The time soon pointed to 8 o'clock in the evening, the concert officially began, the big red letters of "Into the New Era Concert" appeared on the screen, and the joyful melody of "Backgammon" came out of the TV speaker.

After Bai Qiuling announced the curtain, Li Guyi walked up to the center of the stage and sang affectionately: "True love is like a vast grassland, and layers of wind and rain cannot be blocked. There will always be a sunrise when the clouds open, and the sun shines on you and me......

The clear and beautiful melody, the lyrics with a sense of picture, and Li Guyi's "unique" singing style made Xu Wangqiu's family and everyone in the house stunned, and they were stunned one by one.

After singing the song, Su Wei couldn't help but praise: "Li Guyi sings so well, and the lyrics of this song are also written with great meaning!"

Su Bai's third sister Su Qing looked intoxicated and said like a nymphomaniac: "This song is really well written, it looks like it's about plum blossoms, but it's actually about love." The person who wrote this song should have experienced many twists and turns in love, but he still has no regrets. Such a talented and loyal man is simply the lover of his dreams, and he doesn't know who he is or where. ”

Su Bai has always been at odds with Su Qing, and "A Cut of Plums" was written by Xu Wangqiu, and when she heard Su Qing's nympho boyfriend, she was very unhappy: "It's shameless." He can't look down on people like you!"

Su Qing didn't like Su Bai either, and immediately counterattacked: "Yes, yes, people don't look down on me." How powerful you are, a top student of Peking University, you are beautiful, you are loved by everyone, and you can see flowers blooming, he will definitely be able to take a fancy to you, right?"

Su Bai smiled proudly: "Yes, of course he can take a fancy to me, otherwise how could he become my boyfriend?"

Su Qing was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Xu Wangqiu in surprise. The other people present also looked at Xu Wangqiu in surprise when they heard this, and they couldn't believe their ears. No, this song was actually written by Wangqiu!

Xu Wangbei pulled Xu Wangqiu's sleeves and asked, "Second brother, did you really write this song?"

Xu Wangqiu smiled and nodded: "I wrote it, how is it, does it sound good?"

"It's the best song I've ever heard. Xu Wangbei said excitedly, "Second brother, in addition to "One Cut Plum", do you have any other songs?"

Xu Wangqiu smiled and said, "There are six or seven songs, you can hear them in a while." ”

Xu Wangbei heard that there were still six or seven songs, and said happily: "Second brother, you are worthy of being my idol, you are really amazing!"

Su Zhensheng and they were all dumbfounded by Xu Wangqiu's words, in addition to "One Cut Plum", there were six or seven songs written by him, and the whole concert should be twenty or thirty songs, that is to say, one-fifth of the songs in the concert were written by him.

Su Zhensheng couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect Wangqiu to write songs to such an extent, this is really ......"

Everyone else couldn't help but say: "Wangqiu, this kid writes the movie script well, the movie is well made, I didn't expect to write songs so well, this is probably a genius!"

"Compared to him, I feel like a piece of rubbish!

"People are more popular than people!"

Contrary to Xu Wangqiu's reaction, Hu Qingming and his relatives lashed out at Li Guyi and "A Cut of Plums": "This is the sound of beauty!" and "This song is loud and pretentious." "This song is the same as the entertainment life of capitalist society such as cafes, bars, dance halls, nightclubs, etc. ”

Ren Yan, who appeared later, was naturally criticized by Hu Qingming's family. In this process, Hu Qingming didn't speak, just watched quietly. But when Su Xiaoming walked to the center of the stage and sang "The Night of the Military Port", Hu Qingming suddenly laughed: "Okay, good! With this song, Xu Wangqiu and his backstage people are afraid that it will be over!"

Fan Jun hated Xu Wangqiu to the core, and immediately asked when he heard this: "Qingming, is this song so powerful?"

Hu Qingming smiled sadly: "Where is this song the night of the military port, it is obviously a prostitute and other soldiers." Now that we are at war with Vietnam, a song about the navy, instead of writing about soldiers standing guard and sentry, but about soldiers sleeping, what is the nature of this problem, what does it mean? This song is very reactionary in nature!"

Hu Qingming paused, and said loudly: "Tomorrow I will go to Comrade Zhou Yang's house, and I will report this problem to him!"
