In 1981, the rural comedy "Xiyingmen" alone received 570 million viewers. The box office continues to remain high.

And this year, people's enthusiasm for movies does not stop at watching a movie in the cinema, and movies are still the hottest topic for people to get out of the cinema.

Following the resumption of voting for the 3rd Hundred Flowers Awards last year, and the circulation of each issue of Popular Film magazine exceeded 9 million, on May 23, 1981, the 4th Hundred Flowers Award and the newly founded 1st Film Golden Rooster Award were announced in Hangzhou at the same time.

Not surprisingly, this year's turnout and social impact reached new highs.

Since then, my country has not only had two major film awards. It also marks that since the "Movement", domestic films, as the vanguard of the Renaissance, have completely entered the golden development period of "a hundred flowers competing for beauty" and "stars shining".

But it's a pity that the most glorious days of domestic films didn't last long. Because since 1981, the film distribution and screening indicators have begun to decline year by year. Since 1984, the moviegoer has gradually decreased, and the film market has begun to decline.

And the negative factors that made it gradually decline are precisely the signs that appeared at the beginning of this year. It's just completely hidden under the flowers, and no one can realize it.

As for the reasons for this, there are only two points to elaborate on.

First of all, as the "little brother" of the movie, the TV industry has been catching up and developing rapidly.

As early as 1979, due to the rapid popularity of television, the problem of competing with movies and stage plays for audiences soon arose.

As a result, the film department decided not to provide copies of new films to television stations, and this regulation also set a special "threshold" that new feature films must be released for six months before they can be supplied to television stations.

Soon, the stage play was also reluctant to let the TV station record for fear of affecting the attendance, let alone simultaneous broadcasting.

In this way, for TV workers, the beautiful scenery of the dramas "In the Silent Place" and "Dan's Heart Spectrum" has completely become yesterday's memory.

At the same time, the growing number of new TV users has a sense of being fooled because they can't see the latest movies.

Because at the beginning of the era of television consumption, people regarded the television as a miniature home cinema and a theater box with images. If TV stations don't broadcast feature films, won't that be a big loss of entertainment and harm consumers?

As a result, all this has become a huge pressure, forcing my country's TV workers to take the development of TV dramas as an unshirkable priority.

However, because it is in the pioneering stage, domestic TV dramas must go through the exploration stage, and neither quantity nor quality can meet the needs of the audience.

So in order to solve the "grain and grass crisis", for a long time, TV dramas have relied on the introduction to fill the broadcast time. Relying on "foreign aid" to stabilize the audience and expand the audience.

It is precisely for this reason that Yugoslavia's "Behind Enemy Lines" and "The Man on the Blacklist", as well as the United States' "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic" and "Garrison's Death Squad" will have the opportunity to enter the people's field of vision. Let ordinary people have a romantic imagination of war and appreciate the exotic customs.

"The Red and the Black", "The Old Antique Shop", "Anna Karenina", "David Copperfield", and "The Mayor of the Casterbridge" in Britain and France can bring distant humanistic feelings into our ancient capital, and thus awaken the literary consciousness of a large number of people.

Even in 1981, the Japanese TV series "Zisanshiro" also appeared on our TV screens, which set off the first round of "Japanese drama fever".

It should be said that the popularity of this drama is incomparable to any imported drama today.

In the case of frequent power outages that year, the power department in Beijing only happened to have a power outage during the broadcast time of the TV series, and was publicly reprimanded and dissatisfied by the masses in the newspapers.

Therefore, in response to the strong demand of the audience, the power department decided to miss the power outage time and the broadcast time of this drama after research. Only then did the anger from the people be quelled.

It can be seen from this that this drama has firmly attracted many people to the TV.

Another equally revealing phenomenon is that during the screening of this drama, the wood and bricks, which are used as building materials, are not very safe to leave in the open as before. There are often cases where they disappear.

It's not that thieves actually commit crimes, but children often use these things to imitate the plot of TV dramas and practice splitting wood and bricks.

This is no exception even for Hong Jun, who is equally fascinated by the inspirational stories of waka and kimonos, geta, and bushido. became a "fan" of Zi Sanshiro.

Needless to say, after discovering this incident, Hong Yanwu must have been angry.

He regretted that he had neglected the education of the next generation. His nephew is going to leave the "evil sect crooked way", I am afraid that Yu Ye's heavenly spirit will have to come to the door at night to scold him.

Fortunately, Kung Fu can speak with facts. After recklessly practicing the unique skill of "breaking five bricks with one palm", Hong Yanwu, who had gradually lost his kung fu, finally used his palm to hurt the price of a week, and made Hong Jun repent in time. Realizing the truth that "judo is a fart", I became interested in the wrestling that can throw "Zi Sanshiro out of".

So since then, Hong Jun has been learning to wrestle and watching TV at the same time.

Hong Yanwu doesn't force this, knowing is understanding, entertainment is entertainment, as long as you can distinguish it.

What's more, he also understands Hong Jun quite well, and there is a beautiful Japanese girl in the TV series. The children of the 70s knew much more about this than they did.

Of course, while dubbed films are popular and popular, domestic TV dramas have also won time to start developing, and even under the stimulation of dubbed films, they have learned a lot of skills.

In less than two years, domestic TV has completed the creation process from a single drama to a TV series. The focus of creation has also changed from purely political awareness, propaganda, and education to entertainment and drama at the same time.

Also in this year, the National Outstanding TV Drama Award, the predecessor of the famous TV series "Feitian Award", also held a second award ceremony. "New Shore", "The Affection of the Earth", "White Handkerchief" and other awards won the Outstanding TV Drama Award.

Therefore, on the one hand, it is the introduction of sensational TV dramas like cluster bombs that stir up shock waves again and again in every home and in the streets.

On the other hand, domestic TV dramas have begun to emerge, the quality and quantity have begun to climb at an alarming rate, the style has developed to diversify, and the attraction to the people has become stronger and stronger.

And the relationship between the two is not competition and opposition, but actually a relationship of cooperation.

It is these two that together constitute the popular trend of television culture, forming a powerful potential for mass culture. It will be unbelievable that the number of TV audiences and the foreseeable market will expand rapidly.

And that's just the prelude to the curtain lifting.

Because at the end of this year, although the number of TV sets in China has reached 10 million, and the audience data is estimated to be about 100 million, compared with the national population, the market to be developed is obviously larger.

Secondly, in addition to the competition from the TV industry, the film industry itself has also gone terribly wrong, and the industry has swelled too much.

Because of those handsome men and women who perform well on the screen, they will quickly become people's favorite stars. Many young actors are making movies for the first time and quickly become household names.

So while easily enjoying the honorary status that others can only obtain by fighting for a lifetime, many people get carried away.

It seems that the world is in your own hands, and you can do whatever you want, whether it is blind arrogance or desire, it is blown up like a balloon.

This leads to two scenarios.

One is that the individual has a higher pursuit of goals, is not satisfied with lying on the existing merit book, longs for a new world, longs for new challenges, longs for knowledge, and opens up oneself in order to achieve higher achievements in life.

Although there is a misunderstanding of the world, thinking that there are flowers and green grass everywhere, the door of any treasure will open for itself by simply saying "open the door with sesame seeds". But the starting point of this pursuit is, after all, benign and motivated.

Its representative figure is Cen Chong, in June of this year, the twenty-year-old Cen Chong just got the graduation certificate of Shanghai Overseas Chinese College, finished acting in the last movie "Meet in Beijing", and went abroad to study when his acting career was booming.

It was from her that she started the prelude to my country's well-known film actors going abroad for further study.

The other is the person who is the most relaxed in his own requirements and has no ability to resist the erosion of fame and fortune at all. These people are at ease and happy, have no higher pursuit of life, and have a kind of squandering mentality like a lucky person on what has been achieved.

Especially under the deliberate co-optation of some "son-in-law" and "eldest lady", they have lost the bottom line of "actors" and have become "actors" before liberation, drunk and dreaming every day, and their private lives are extremely chaotic.

The representative figure is the smash hit "Changying Studio" actor Chi Zhiqiang, if he follows the original historical trajectory, soon, he will pay four years of freedom for his indiscretions, and his career will be completely destroyed.

But to be honest, the northern actors are actually quite good, and the real "hard-hit area" is in the "heart city" of national films.

Because only a few years later, a scandal broke out, which can be called a major earthquake in the film industry, almost ruining half of the elite power of the Shanghai and Shanghai film industry.

When the time comes, countless female movie stars who have become famous will suddenly stop, and many even avoid abroad in the name of studying abroad. So much so that most of the people in the country who have been kept in the dark are puzzled, how can they go abroad as soon as they become famous in movies?

In addition, the gun shot the first bird, and at the same time, the only "Xie Jin model" recognized by the market and loved by the public will be harshly criticized and unfairly criticized.

And those who stand and talk without backache only scold and provoke, regardless of solving practical problems. As a result, follow-up domestic films have completely lost their creative direction.

For a period of time, I could only rely on arranging some films that reflected the backwardness of the country to be voted to the liking of foreigners, or making some "art experimental films" that no one could understand to fool the audience.

Just imagine, in the context of this kind of vitality injury, there is a lack of well-known actors and storytelling domestic films. Compared with the TV industry at that time, the advertising revenue has matured, and the audience has reached 600 million people. Then it is inevitable that he will fall from the height of the altar and fall into the dust, and he will collapse.

So in the final analysis, to sum up, 1981 was the year when the two forms of visual entertainment in China were at odds with each other, and it could be called the year of the dividing ridge.

And it is particularly worth mentioning that Cen Chong's departure from the country has an additional impact, that is, it has dealt a big blow to Chen Liquan.

Since watching "Tongbai Heroes", he has become the most staunch fan of "Little Flower", "Awakening", "Overseas Child", all Cen Chong's movies have to be watched at least four or five times.

Magazines, pictorials, calendars, as long as there are photos and reports of Cen Chong, you have to buy a copy. The love for her is absolutely from the bones.

Therefore, he especially didn't understand Cen Chong's choice, and felt even more disappointed and sad that he couldn't see Cen Chong's movies in the future. For a long time, I was depressed and listless.

Hong Yanwu didn't expect that Chen Liquan would be obsessed with Cen to this point in this life, so he joked that he was lovesick, saying that if you can learn English, I will simply send you abroad to find Cen Chong.

Unexpectedly, the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Originally, it was just a joke, but Chen Liquan took it seriously.

This foolish boy remembered Smith's words for a while, and simply thought that he could go to the United States to study after taking the "TOEFL" test, and he was really a classmate of Cen Chong.

So he just did it, and he actually asked Hong Yanru to take all the English textbooks in junior high school, and began the arduous road of "self-taught".

For this reason, of course, Hong Yanwu felt that it was inappropriate, but when he had to explain it to Quanzi. On second thought, it's actually good for him to learn English, at least he can use it in trading.

Besides, isn't it just a young man chasing stars? What else to explain, maybe he will give up after a few days of studying. If he really succeeds in his studies, even if he can't study abroad, it's not a big deal to send him out for a spin.

In this way, he was left to his content.

There is another thing, because of Hong Yanwu, Hong Yanru can go to the cinema to watch movies as much as she wants in this life, probably because she was influenced by her edification.

Facing the college entrance examination this year, this girl actually participated in the art examination selection of the Beijing Film Academy, and actually passed, and had the qualification to apply for the performance department of the Beijing Film Academy.

This also means that once she passes the cultural exam again, she is likely to become a big name in the film and television industry in the future.

But Hong Yanwu didn't have time to react, and considered the gains and losses of this matter. The girl couldn't wait to announce it to the whole family.

As a result, of course, the parents categorically vetoed it, and the old couple had the same opinion, categorically saying that the children of the Hong family could do anything, but they couldn't be "actors".

Hong Yanru's temperament does not dare to disobey the yang and the yin. Needless to say, there is not even a delay, the film and television dream is completely shattered, and the future can only be made another choice.

In the end, Hong Yanwu helped to advise, starting from his sister's interest, and helped to choose the fashion design major of the "Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology", and described the beautiful scenery of the foreign fashion industry to her, which stabilized the girl's mood and did not make her too sad.
