Xu Mengrou dragged two luggage packages, large and small, and climbed from the arrival floor to the departure floor on the second floor.

She is at the Shenzhou Railway Station at the moment, and she has to stay here for nearly a day, just because there are too few trains from her hometown Lushun directly back to the capital, and she can't buy tickets, so she has to go to the provincial capital to make a transfer.

In the era when green cars are extremely scarce, people's time is not valuable, and it is not uncommon to stay at the transit station for a day or two when there are only a few hundred kilometers left.

There was still a week before the start of school, and her family asked her to stay a few more days and return to school later. However, Xu Mengrou refused, because she heard that Senior Gu's "Hujiang Beach" was about to be released, and her family couldn't afford a TV set for the time being.

At the same time, as a university in Beijing that is treated quite well, there is now a TV set in the No. 1 canteen of Beijing Normal University - just this year.

Many times, students will crowd the cafeteria, even if they don't have a place to stand for two hours, they have to watch the show for a while, which is considered a college student welfare.

Of course, this kind of excuse can't be told to the family. In front of her parents, Xu Mengrou still prevaricated with the reason that "the teacher has something to do, and he went back to school to study hard".

Find hot water in the waiting hall and soak the unlicensed instant noodles from a small local factory for a dime and a half a pack.

However, just as she was on her way to instant noodles, she noticed a large crowd of people gathered in front of her, and immediately saw a TV playing on it.

"The train stations in the provincial capital are well treated. She thought so, and suddenly became excited.

Doesn't that mean you can watch it tonight and miss one less episode?

What she was waiting for was a car passing by the provincial capital in the middle of the night and arriving in the capital tomorrow morning.

It's a pity that because of the large number of onlookers, there are no seats in the waiting hall within 30 meters of the TV.

But this is not difficult for Xu Mengrou, she can put her duffel bag on the ground, and people sit on the bag, just like those peasant women who work in township enterprises. (In fact, according to the law, it is still called "community enterprise", but in 82 it was officially renamed "township enterprise", with the commune corresponding to the township and the production team corresponding to the village)

After eating instant noodles, she hid all the valuables in the inner pocket of her arms, and after squinting for a long time, she vaguely heard the noise next to her, and quickly opened her sleepy eyes.

In the loudspeaker just installed in the waiting hall, there were three piercing gunshots, which were the prelude to the opening song of "Hujiang Beach".

"The waves are running, the waves are flowing, and the rivers are endless. It's exhausted, the things of the world, mixed up with a surging trend......"

Ye Liyi's Cantonese lyrics show Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui's gold medal creative ability to the fullest.

In addition to secretly listening to Teresa Teng, mainland audiences who have never heard of other Cantonese pop music have been completely fans of just one song.

With the image of a top hat, a white scarf, and a black trench coat appearing on camera, as well as the sonic dogs and horses of the old Bund, all greedily sucking the evil old capital to pay attention to the extravagance of the world.

Originally, there were a few passengers who "what are you looking at?/What are you doing!", and there was a little dispute on the side, which instantly aroused public anger, and they were honest after being beaten by the group.

"Watch TV quietly! I can't hear it! I will beat you to death again, no matter which of you is right or who is wrong!"

Then, apart from the occasional hearing of the crowd pumping en masse from the thrill of the fight, there was no other commotion.

Children who don't know how to cry may be able to win the protection of their parents, even if other passengers accuse them of being noisy, and parents can go back.

However, this scene only lasted less than half an episode, and then the bewildered bear children found that their parents had become the main force beating them.

"Cry again! Bitter Nima disadvantages! Do you have a sense of public morality!"

In addition to being beaten, everyone indignantly condemned in their hearts: "Capital attention is rotten! Just went to the Bund to mix the rivers and lakes, and just found a beautiful female classmate and developed overnight. The change of hands also caused the theater owner and the spectator to kill each other and end up together.

The most outrageous thing is that the boss and the spectator are dead, Xu Wenqiang can actually be his own boss? Does the boss have no son to inherit? It's too fake! Shit luck, how can you become a man in one episode!"

In everyone's eyes, they flickered and saw the fire of a shortcut to get rich overnight, and while scolding the plot for being too fake and unreasonable, the envy and jealousy in their hearts were extremely inflated.

The wounds of a billion people who had been suppressed for 30 years by being rich and poor, and who did not dare to be the first in the world, were healed before they were healed, were reopened in this way, revealing the bloody blood of beasts.

"So you can climb up quickly! There is money, there is a villa, there is a car, there is a woman! As long as you have a little idea and a little ability, you can avoid three or five deaths, seven or eight times of disability, and fight for your life more than a dozen times, you can climb to that height!"

Xu Mengrou was just chasing with a cheering mentality at first, but after watching just this episode, she was completely conquered by the plot.

When she came back to her senses, she found that she stood up unconsciously, carrying her duffel bag for 40 minutes without feeling tired - it turned out that when she was watching TV, the crowd in front of her was getting denser and denser, and she sat on the duffel bag, even if she looked up at the TV set mounted diagonally on the roof truss, it would be blocked, so she naturally stood up.

Looking back, there are no more than 2,000 people in the hall.

Xu Mengrou grew up to 18 years old, and she had never encountered this kind of thing in her memory that could make 2,000 people get together, but voluntarily keep it so quiet.

"Ahh

With the shout, several black shadows ran away, but they were arrested by the righteous and brave crowd, and the police at the police station in front of the station soon came to torture people.

After being tortured, it turned out that after the thief succeeded, he was moved by the rising channel of the life of the person in the film, and he was reluctant to leave, and he wanted to see what was going on and knew how the person who licked the blood with the knife head came out and cleared his ......

As a result, he was arrested because he was reluctant to retreat.

"Comrade policeman, comrade policeman, if you arrest me, I will be arrested, can you not go to prison, I will be in the detention center in front of the station, can you let me let the wind go for an hour at eight o'clock every night? After 15 days of detention, I will not say a word, and if you detain me for 30 days, it will be ......"

……

Compared with the intuitive feeling of laymen, the shock of insiders is more quantified.

CCTV has been sampling for three consecutive days, and the ratings of this episode of "Hujiang Beach" at 8 o'clock in the evening have skyrocketed from 82% on the first day to 91% on the afternoon of the next day and when the first episode is rebroadcast.

You must know that under normal circumstances, the rebroadcast of the 4 o'clock file in the afternoon, because everyone is still working, often the ratings will plummet. The TV station will only show last night's replay in the afternoon from Monday to Saturday, and there will be a new program on Sunday. Now I am actually going against the trend, obviously because the summer vacation is not over yet.

Then it was 94 percent on the second night and 98 percent on the third night. The only factor limiting the scope of the spread of "Hujiangtan" is the hard bar data on the number of TV sets in China.

And the one who feels all this most genuinely should be Uncle Zhao in the communication room of CCTV headquarters.

He has watched the gate on CCTV for 20 years, and every day he is accustomed to seeing the postman of the nearby post office smaller, pedaling a weighted version of the military green postal custom bicycle, four large mail pockets on the back rack, and nearly 1,000 business letters or letters from the audience are stuffed with it, which has never changed in the past 20 years.

But on this day, the postman changed into a tricycle for the first time.

There were more than a dozen bags of marijuana in the carriage, and inside were letters from the masses like snowflakes, at least tens of thousands.

"Why are there so many?"

"This is only the city and the adjacent Jinmen, Tangzhou, and Xiongzhou. No matter how far away, it's too late to send it, so I applied with the office, and I will add people from tomorrow. The postman complained while wiping his sweat.

Hearing this quasi-letter, the CCTV logistics department was startled from top to bottom.

has been playing red dramas for 20 years, and I have never seen this kind of battle.

The most helpless thing is that everyone didn't know what was wrong at first, so they had to arrange overtime to urgently open the letter and read it.

"Minister, I have 3,000 here, and 2,800 means that I missed the first two episodes of "Hujiang Beach", and I hope to rebroadcast it as soon as possible after the broadcast. ”

"I've got 5,000 here, which is about the same. ”

"Me too. ”

After some statistics, it was finally found that 90% of the incremental emails were all in the hope of arranging more replays, or rebroadcasting after the first round of broadcasts, so that later viewers could make up for the missing plots.

Previously, according to CCTV's practice, there had never been a program with a TV drama time slot, and it was rebroadcast immediately after the broadcast. But looking at the tens of thousands of enthusiastic letters, the relevant leaders can only ask for instructions, and for the first time decide to follow up immediately after the first round of broadcasts.

In addition, CCTV in 1980 had always been to save workload, directly taking the program from 6 to 10 o'clock the night before to rebroadcasting it from 2 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

Now, in order to ensure that more people can see the rerun of "Hujiangtan", the time has been reversed from the late-night program at 9:20, so that most people can watch it before they get off work and have dinner. At that time, there were still a large number of state-owned enterprises that left work at 4:30 or 5 p.m., and there were very few overtime hours.

Is this also a gesture of being more open to compatriots in Hong Kong, and it is not purely for the sake of ratings.

……

In addition to CCTV, another unit in China that was crowded with letters was Hujiang Film Studio.

Who made Gu Biao choose this collaborator as a co-production unit in the mainland.

It's just that this time they came to the door are all professionals, and the purpose is to take advantage of the popularity to secondment some actors, especially the local actors in the mainland who have just become popular in the hit "Hujiang Beach".

In the era of the planned economy, film studios didn't care whether their employees were popular or not, and they all made movies according to political tasks anyway.

However, as the process of opening up, especially the two examples of "Lushan Love" and "Hujiang Beach", which gradually became apparent in stimulating the local tourism industry, local government tourism departments began to put frequent pressure on film studios to try to replicate this success.

In 1980, Deng Weiren repeatedly proposed to vigorously develop the cultural tourism industry and attract foreign tourists as an important means of earning foreign exchange. When the country lacked industrial products that foreigners could see, it was once very important to make use of the value of the "ancient civilization" to be visited.

Otherwise, the state would not have organized the sale of a large number of cultural relics to earn foreign exchange.

And these film projects carried out in order to promote tourism are not up to the studios of each province to have the final say, and there will even be corresponding leaders at the provincial level who will personally supervise and supervise them, asking the studios to find ways to add famous stars to the film and promote the local area.

In later generations, as the leading actors in the actor industry, such as Tang Yuqiang and Chen Daoming, there are many big names who have been robbed by this kind of project in this era.

This time, a phone call from an intermediate film studio called Xu Ling, the production director of the Hujiang factory, and then Xu Ling called Su Ping to the office after understanding the situation.

"Xiao Su, has your daughter not returned to China yet? I heard that Li Lianjie was also called to be a bodyguard? "Hujiang Beach" was on the air, and Director Miao of Zhongyuan Studio personally called me, saying that Director Zhang, who was going to cooperate with them, recommended Li Lianjie to play the protagonist of a new film "Shaolin Temple", and you should find a way to get people back for me. ”
