741 [The first time in the Grand View Building]
Just when Wang Zijun was worshipping his ancestors in the newly established ancestral hall, the "100 Singers Concert" was finally broadcast on Beijing TV. Originally, only a few people knew about the concert, but first of all, it became popular in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and those singers who participated in the concert were instantly popular, and they would receive various performance invitations every day.
After the broadcast of the Beijing Television Station was effective, newspapers in various regions also joined the discussion, and the voices of approval and opposition actually engaged in a pen war, which eventually became known to the people of the whole country. Seeing that this thing was on fire, local TV stations in various provinces and cities contacted the comrades of Beijing TV to ask for a copy of the program, and then the concert was broadcast all over the place.
Cui Jian's name became known to everyone, and he won the title of "Father of Chinese Rock".
The chaotic scene of singing "Hotel California" at the end of the concert has long been cut by Beijing TV, but the picture of Wang Zijun singing "Tomorrow Will Be Better" has been retained.
This is the first time that mainland people have seen Wang Zijun wearing modern clothes, and they have seen it in costume TV dramas before. The free-flowing bearing and typhoon, as well as the terrifying on-site interactive effects, immediately attracted at least one million fans for him.
It was in this atmosphere that Liu Guangda, general manager of China Everbright Music, released the first cassette of the "Let the World Be Full of Love" series with a smile, which included ten songs such as "Let the World Be Full of Love" and "Nothing".
In just over a month, the tape sold more than 5 million boxes, shocking countless people's jaws.
You must know that Everbright Music Company has only been established for half a year, and its distribution capacity is still in its infancy, and many times it depends on Liu Guangda, the general manager, to take the company's employees to run the market in one province and another provinces and cities.
With the sales volume of more than 5 million cassette tapes, many people who have the capital or are interested in investing in music are drooling. In the second half of 1986, six new private music record labels were suddenly established on the mainland, four years ahead of schedule.
However, these music record companies have not been able to shake the position of China Everbright Music Company in the industry, and every month, countless singers who think they are powerful run to the headquarters of Everbright Music Company in Guangzhou to succeed in signing singers for the company.
The distribution channels of China Everbright Music Company are also the most advanced and complete.
I have to say that if Liu Guangda changes his career to sales, he is estimated to make a lot of money. When he was doing distribution, he mainly focused on state-run and private shopping malls in various provinces and cities, and bundled Everbright Music's tapes with tape recorders.
In other words, the consumer was supposed to buy the tape recorder, and then the tape of Everbright Music became an audition tape, and it was almost semi-forced to mix the song tape with the tape recorder for the customer to buy.
Every year, how many people in the mainland buy tape recorders, and every customer means at least one cassette sold.

"Woman, who will be sentimental for your obsession when you have given your love holiness and cannot follow the side of God......
Class 85 of the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama, students are practicing "A Midsummer Night's Dream". This kind of practice is every homework for them, and the current acting students have not yet learned the ability to run out to take on the play by themselves, and they all learn the skills honestly in class.
Of course, there is no need for actors from their professional backgrounds to go out to find a play, because there are not many young professional actors in China at this time. If any director is short of actors, the director will come to the school to find them.
For example, Gong Li, who is currently playing Hermia in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", will be asked by Mr. Zhang Laomou to play "Red Sorghum" next year, which magically won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, and Gong Li, a student of the acting department, also became famous at home and abroad, and even appeared on the cover of "Time" magazine a few years later.
This is all an afterthought, as for now, Jin Lili is the most famous in the 85th class of the entire acting department, because she played Jia Yingchun in the unreleased "Dream of Red Mansions" and has been in movie magazines several times.
Well, at this time, Gong Li, Jin Lili, and Wu Yujuan are known as the "five golden flowers" of Chinese opera.
After the rehearsal of "A Midsummer Night's Dream", it was almost time for dinner, and everyone packed up their things and prepared to go to the cafeteria. Jin Lili suddenly shouted: "Hey, everyone wait a minute, I have good things." ”
"What's so mysterious?" Gong Li saw her rummaging through her schoolbag and joked, "Is it a wedding card?" You're not going to be ready to invite us to a hi bar. Tell me quickly, which one is the man? ”
The classmates in the same class have a good relationship, and it doesn't matter if they usually joke, Tian Youliang coaxed next to him when he heard it: "Oh, everyone, come here, Jin Lili is getting married!" ”
"Who's getting married...... What Jin Lili is going to get married, when will she set up wine. The others came around, and they believed it.
Jin Lili was angry and funny, took out a stack of movie tickets and said: "I originally wanted to invite you to watch a movie, but I will throw away the movie tickets if I make this kind of joke again!" ”
"What kind of movie? I actually invited the whole class to watch it together. Gong Li asked.
Jin Lili said: "There are nearly twenty people in the class, how can I have the ability to make so many tickets, just a few of us often rehearse together." ”
Guan Hailong came over with a big grin, snatched the movie ticket in his hand, and said: "Admission ticket for the premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story"...... Hey, how is it an admission ticket, didn't you say it was a movie ticket? ”
"A Chinese Ghost Story, why does this movie sound so familiar?" Gong Li scratched her head and suddenly screamed, "Ah, it won't be Wang Zijun's ...... That ......"
"Hmm." Jin Lili nodded.
Gong Li praised without hesitation: "Lily, you are so good, I heard that the admission ticket is difficult to get, and you actually got several at once." ”
The others asked, "yes, how did you get it?" ”
"Mountain people have their own tricks!" Jin Lili said mysteriously.
In fact, it's very simple, Le Yun has been wandering around Beijing's literary and artistic circles during this time, visiting this today, inviting that to dinner tomorrow, in addition to the people in the Red Mansion crew, she also met many real power figures in the Film Bureau, CCTV and radio stations.
Just a month ago, Le Yun successfully completed the task, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" was approved for uncut release, and the premiere was scheduled at the Dashilan Cinema in Beijing.
The public screening of the national surname will be held a week after the premiere, and the premiere in Dashilar is also one of the means of publicity, such as "Yangcheng Evening News", "Popular Film" and other media, Wang Zijun has sent out invitations.
There are several types of media communication influence, and the media in Chinese mainland in the eighties, whether it is television or newspapers, are highly authoritative. Even if the newspaper says that a machine for turning water into oil was invented, more than 80% of readers will believe it. If there are newspapers such as "Yangcheng Evening News" to help promote it, the audience will absolutely crowd the cinema when it is released.
Le Yun has a hundred premiere tickets in his hand that can be freely distributed, and some actors from the Red Mansion crew also gave away some, and the five tickets in Jin Lili's hand were bought at a high price from other actors who didn't have time to go.
On September 20, reporters from more than a dozen media outlets across the country poured into Beijing, and they came for one purpose, to attend the premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Dashilar United Cinema is the general name of several cinemas in Beijing's Dashilar area, and Wang Zijun and many other media reporters will be attending one of the Daguanlou Cinemas, which is also the legendary first cinema in China, and its name is associated with the history of Chinese cinema.
As for the admission tickets that Jin Lili brought, they are the admission tickets to the screening halls of other theaters in Dashilar.
The Xuanwu District Cultural Relics Bureau, the China Film Distribution and Projection Company, and the Beijing Film Distribution and Projection Company originally jointly invested 6 million yuan to expand the Daguanlou big-screen cinema in September, but the matter was also postponed because Wang Zijun insisted on placing the premiere in the Daguanlou.
Wang Zijun feels that this is very meaningful, his film is screened in the mainland for the first time, and the venue is the first cinema in the history of Chinese film, what a wonderful combination.
In the Grand View Building, Le Yun looked at the audience who came in and said proudly: "Boss, I'm not bad at it." ”
"Yes, the test has been preliminarily passed." Wang Zijun nodded and said. In fact, many things that Le Yun does, Wang Zijun can ask the professionals of Wang's Cinema Line to come over to do it, and throwing it to Le Yun really means to test and exercise her, otherwise it will be boring to make a vase-like personal secretary.
Le Yun's performance was a bit beyond Wang Zijun's expectations, and she overfulfilled the task, and she arranged the premiere of the Dashilar United Cinema, and contacted the employees she also commanded Wang to send to the mainland.
Le Yun said: "Boss, I found that many movie theaters in the mainland are very old, and there are a lot of moviegoers. You can invest in building a movie theater and open Wang's Cinema to the mainland. ”
"Hehe, I'll talk about that later." Wang Zijun said with a smile.
In the past few years, theaters in the mainland have been popular, and due to the hunger and thirst for long-term lack of access to entertainment consumer goods, the love of mainland people for movies at this time is beyond imagination. It's not just city dwellers who like to watch movies, but rural people too, and it's not uncommon to walk for hours into town to watch a movie. (Lao Wang's mother said that when she was young, she often walked more than three hours into the city to watch movies...... But by the time of '88, the price boom hit people's desire for entertainment, and the crisis lasted until about '92. Less than two years after the economy recovered, VCDs and pirated discs were on the rise, which was the real weapon that killed the film industry.
In the two or three years from the nineties to the beginning of the new century, cinemas in some small cities on the mainland often bought tickets to watch movies, and a ticket of 10 yuan was directly chartered -- the entire screening hall was only one audience.
Before 2000, I was doing a cinema chain in the mainland, which was definitely an act of looking for death, and only a few theaters in big cities could survive.
