Compared with the table tennis case, the investment required for the movie projector is obviously much larger.

You know, in the era when movies were still the main form of entertainment for the masses.

Not to mention private, it is not easy for a unit to buy a movie machine.

This is not only because of policy restrictions, but also because the price of the movie is thousands of yuan, which was not a small number in those days.

What's more, it's not enough to buy a machine, you have to buy accessories, buy film, and buy consumable parts.

Combined, this is a lot of overhead.

But in the '80s, things were different.

Because with the gradual in-depth expansion of the reform and opening up policy, not only ideology has begun to break the ice.

At the same time of economic development, all kinds of literary and artistic media have also multiplied, greatly enriching the lives of the people.

Especially since the TV series "Huo Yuanjia", TV sets have gradually become popular in rural areas.

This quickly broke the situation that films had "dominated" in rural areas, and caused the rural film market to shrink rapidly.

At the same time, the rural economic system has also changed due to the implementation of the contract of joint production in the rural areas.

This has caused substantial difficulties in the activities of many township-run screening teams and village-run screening teams.

As a result, as more and more projection teams struggled to sustain, many projectionists changed careers one after another.

A large number of projection equipment was also left unused and rendered useless.

So it just so happened that at this time, it was really the right time for Hong Yanwu to buy a movie machine from the rural projection team.

First of all, the equipment used in rural areas is a mobile cinema machine that shows open-air movies.

It is easy to carry and move, which in itself is more in line with the needs of the store.

In addition, there are already useless things, and finally someone is willing to buy them, and the price will not be too high.

There is no doubt that after having this idea, Hong Yanwu's first step must be to call "Longkou Village".

It's a pity that there is no play.

Dare to love "Longkou Village" is rich, and Zhaoqing is knowledgeable.

They have already taken the initiative to take over this hot potato, and have already turned the township-run film team into a "village office".

Now, every three or five times, let the projectionist put on a show to enrich the spare time life of the villagers.

Even the latest films in the city have been brought, what "Wild Mountain", "Women of Good Family", "Mass on the Hunting Ground", ......

Well, since this is the case, Hong Yanwu can only think of another way.

But then again, these days, it is difficult to find rich relatives who are capitalists, and it is not difficult to find poor relatives who are hard to farm.

He pondered it again, and there was another one ready-made.

Shui Qing's own uncle Shui Xinsheng is still at the foot of Huairou Yan Mountain, living on the help of their capital.

Hong Yanwu hurriedly made an appointment with Bian Jiangong and pulled him to run.

Hey, don't say it, I really didn't give this thing away in vain.

The projection team in the village over there was already yellow, and as soon as Shui Xinsheng told the village secretary, the old man nodded.

It's just that there is one thing, and things in the village are really miserable. It was an 8.75mm movie projector.

This is a product of a special era, and when it was developed, it did not consider the problem of matching with foreign standards, and simply pursued the requirements of "simple, lightweight, strong and economical".

As a result, it is a waste of money in terms of replacing accessories and introducing copies.

So although the screen brightness and picture clarity are better than those of super 8mm films.

However, after the end of the "movement", this kind of projector quickly disappeared, and it was not popularized at all.

To put it bluntly, it can be used, but this thing can only put some old films from the past.

There is no film in the new film, it's too limited.

As for Hong Yanwu, after he became rich in his previous life, he played with a movie projector for a while, and his family also had his own private theater.

He knows a lot about the history and performance of domestic projectors, so he is a little unhappy.

But I can't help it, the village party secretary is very enthusiastic, for fear that he won't want it, so I pushed him to buy it.

The old man said that even if it was three or four hundred yuan, he could replace it with a half-old black-and-white TV.

In this way, Hong Yanwu was really tempted.

He pondered that the price was too cheap, and he still had more than a dozen film reels.

Wouldn't it be nice to really buy it and put it in your old house so that your family can have fun?

So he tried to tell the village secretary and said that I could ask for something.

But can you help me figure out if there are bigger projectors in other villages?

If you really want to be able to do this, I can add another 200 to your machine, so that you can buy a new one.

As the saying goes, if you can't afford to be early, the old secretary was also happy when he heard it, and immediately called to help get in touch.

I really said that although other villages are also this gadget, the old man has a distant relative who works as a propaganda officer in the township.

It is rumored that eighty percent of the new 16mm projectors in the township are useless now, and they can be sold as long as the price is right.

In this way, Hong Yanwu went to the township with the village secretary and Shui Xinsheng.

I didn't expect things to be really good, "Yangtze River F16-4", this is the mainstream projector of China's open-air movies.

And probably the projectionist who showed the movie back then was more knowledgeable, and the private film here is not only more and more complete, but also classic.

What are the translated films such as "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth", "Modern Times", "Lenin in 1918", and "The Bridge".

What domestic films such as "Lushan Love", "Shaolin Temple", "Xiyingmen", and "Nurse's Diary".

What opera movies such as "Five Women's Birthday Greetings", "True and False Monkey King", "Jiupin Sesame Official", and "Promotion to Official".

What war movies like "Mine Warfare", "Tunnel Warfare", "Southern Expedition and Northern War", "Guerrillas of the Plains".

What children's films such as "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", "Nezha in the Sea", "The Secret of the Treasure Gourd", and "Spring Water Dingdong" are available.

So in the end, 1,800 yuan was negotiated.

And Hong Yanwu also said what he said, and he didn't forget to make up 200 for the village secretary.

This gave the village secretary a lot of pleasure, and of course it also gave Shui Xin a face.

In short, two thousand five hundred yuan were bought, and at a price of less than forty percent of the original price, two movie projectors were bought.

also has a fairly rich film library, at least for a long time.

You can't say it's expensive, can it?

It's just the money for an imported color TV on the black market.

Needless to say, when Children's Day arrives, the front of the "Polar Bear Day and Night Store" with new items added is simply lively.

Because after proper publicity, the residents of the neighborhood were informed in advance.

On this day, in addition to holding a "table tennis match" for children, the store also shows an open-air movie "Havoc in Heaven" in the evening.

Everyone is worried about bringing their children over to see the excitement and buy some food for their children by the way.

Children's Day, how much meaningful.

Good guys, so as soon as the activities organized by the school ended, from half past nine, it was simply very popular.

There are more adults and children than on the day of the opening, and they have to go up to at least 2,000.

Fortunately, this time, Hong Yanwu greeted the police station and the neighborhood committee in advance, and they all sent people to help maintain order.

In addition, because the children who participated in the competition were all registered in advance, each person was issued a participation card according to the group.

Go here to hand in the certificate and enter the competition, and if you win, you will get the prize immediately, and someone is responsible for registering and distributing the prizes.

The referees of the competition are also two table tennis coaches from the district sports school, and their professionalism is beyond doubt.

Therefore, the scene, although the noise is a little messy, but because of the full preparation, it is generally orderly, and there will be no potential safety hazards.

But even so, Hong Yanwu could not help but temporarily make some adjustments to the rules of the game, changing the number of balls in the "table tennis" game to five balls per game.

Otherwise, it will be too slow, and the day may not be finished.

And in order to calm the impatience and anxiety of parents and children due to crowding and waiting.

He also organized people to inflate the balloons in time and distribute them to the children on site for free.

At the same time, the newly bought marshmallow machine was also in full swing, selling it on the spot at a "Huimin price" of eight cents, and at the same time being responsible for providing a consolation prize to the children who "lost the game".

In this way, it is not so difficult for people to join in the fun.

Whether it was receiving balloons, eating marshmallows, or receiving prizes, the children all had smiling faces.

Adults also feel that the "polar bear" is really benevolent and righteous, and it is really thoughtful for the children.

Therefore, under the influence of this favorability, the desire to buy has also increased a lot.

I wanted to buy half a catty, but it became a catty. If I wanted to buy some fruit candy, I added a big piece of chocolate.

And just like that, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the game was completely over.

A cursory look at the accounts shows that four or five times the amount of goods sold on weekdays.

Hong Lucheng's "popularity is the source of wealth" that he always talks about has been the most authentic verification.

On the other hand, only one-tenth of the more than 800 actual contestants who can really win three yuan in a row and win the grand prize.

It is not surprising that the child's physical strength is limited, and the psychological quality is too affected by the environment.

Many children who are originally good at technology often "fold" the third person, and they are only one step away from success.

However, there are clever ghosts who have privately connected their friends and promised to share them with four people after winning the award, so that they can get 100% sweetness. After the busyness, the brief calm in front of the store lasted only two or three hours, because there were still movies to watch in the evening.

Almost all elementary school students go home and eat early.

Then they shouted at each other, and groups of people came to occupy the land in advance with small benches.

When they arrived, the store had just cleared the day's garbage.

The second group was followed by fathers with preschoolers, as well as old men and old ladies.

Finally, there are the half-sized children who are in middle school.

The people who are really missing from this link are young men and women in their twenties, young girls who are entering the flowering season, and mothers of children.

The reason why this is the case is also due to the special age.

First of all, for children, an open-air movie is more than just a movie.

There's a lot of anticipation, laughter, snacks, chases, and shadow games.

Therefore, when they knew that there was this movie, they felt that it was a good day to get together from now on.

What I'm afraid of is that the weather will turn cloudy and it will rain at night.

And most of the fathers of these children are middle-aged, and they are similar to old men and old ladies, and they are not very interested in the "Blood Suspicion" that is now played on TV.

Then come out to participate in group activities, chat with acquaintances, and look at your own children by the way, but more happy.

As for young people, they are naturally not interested in old movies.

Tomo Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi in "Blood Suspicion" are more attractive to them.

The mother is reluctant to move because of fatigue.

Think about it, you have to go to work, and you have to cook and do housework after work.

It's finally time to rest, who wants to go out and wander around?

Only middle school students are the most distinctive.

Adolescent girls already know how to be reserved at this time, and they are no longer crazy girls, and most of them will not be mixed up on this occasion.

And boys, adolescence will produce a kind of childish vanity, and you have to deliberately stretch it.

It is not until the show is about to start that it is easy to enter, otherwise it is regarded as a "drop".

This is exactly the opposite of the virtue they later had when they fell in love.

But in any case, as long as these people come, they will also promote the sales of the store.

So cigarettes, matches, soft drinks, beer, popsicles, sherbets, jelly beans, miscellaneous pickles, peanut dips, and marshmallows were sold for more than two hours in a row.

Anyway, there is no more, the scene of five or six hundred people, the profit of fifty yuan, the store can fall.

If you really do the math, it's not much cheaper than buying a ticket to watch a movie.

What is really surprising is that when the accounts were accurately counted out on this day, the sales in a single day reached 7,000 yuan, and the profit was more than 2,500 yuan.

And this illustrates a point.

Why do rich people love charity and public welfare so much today?

Just because it's free, it's never really free.

For this reason, Hong Yanwu carried Shui Qing on his back and said to Chen Liquan quite in private.

"Izumi, I see. One day we will be short of money, do you know what to do? Doing good deeds and doing public welfare is a priority choice. The wool comes from the sheep, which is the easiest way in the world to make money, and at the same time it can also make a good name. ”

That's right, it's because of this money-making Children's Day that the "Polar Bear Day and Night Food Store" is more popular with the big guys.

Especially when I learned that every weekend from now on, the store arranges a movie for the children.

After the "table tennis match" will continue to be held during the winter and summer vacations, the residents in the neighborhood are simply moved and happy.

Not only did the street send a pennant to the "Polar Bear Day and Night Food Store" to thank them for their social contribution to benefiting the people and facilitating the people.

There are also several parents of children who excitedly wrote letters of thanks to the factory leaders.

Not for anything else, the main thing is that they did not think of their children, by participating in this competition.

was actually able to be favored by the coach of the district sports school and was able to enter the professional training class of the sports school.

This is a kind of harvest and unexpected surprise that they didn't expect at all.

How could they not be grateful to the organizers of the competition?
