As soon as I went north to the capital, I ran tirelessly for two days, and without resting, I went south to Shanghai non-stop, and Zhang Shaoping was tired enough.

Speaking of which. The sea, there are too many stories, and there are endless ways, such as "Shang. "Beach", "Hero Huo Yuanjia", all happened in the Republic of China. The story of the beach. And by the wide. Dongtai and Zhang Shaoping spared no effort to promote and tout "Hero Huo Yuanjia", coupled with the terrifying ratings of thousands of empty alleys as soon as it was broadcast. Hai TV finally couldn't help it. Dongtai gets the right to play, and then hits it. Sea people take a fancy to it. The gimmick of the sea story is creating a ratings miracle.

Zhang Shaoping was already very calm about this situation. When he went north, the ratings tornado caused by "Hero Huo Yuanjia" had not yet blown to the north, but when he went south to Shanghai, the situation had changed, because of the broadcast of various local stations, "Hero Huo Yuanjia" quickly became known and became a hot topic when everyone met.

"Hero Huo Yuanjia" has set off an unstoppable storm of martial arts films in the mainland. Huang Yuanshen's elegant bookish air and melancholy eyes, the whole person seems to be a heroic image of worrying about the country and the people; Liang Xiaolong's Chen Zhen style wearing a black school uniform and combing his hair neatly has become an image imitated by many people; Mi Xue's portrayal of Zhao Qiannan, who is cheerful, assertive and good at fighting, has made her a popular public lover; And Sakura played by Wei Qiuhua has stolen a lot of limelight, and even the audience's love for her has overshadowed "Zhao Qiannan".

"Look at it, but don't crowd too many people together!" After Zhang Shaoping stayed, he couldn't help but pray in his heart when he heard the waiter of the hotel talking about the plot of "Huo Yuanjia". Who's called. When "The Legend of Shrimp Ball" was on the air, many viewers crowded into a small wooden building to watch, and there was a tragedy of 14 people killed and injured in the collapsed house. No one is not worried.

The staff of the front station chose the places for the Quanjiale fast food restaurant, mainly in Xujiahui and Nan. Jinglu and Huai. Sea route. Zhang Shaoping deliberately walked around these two roads, and finally circled the south. Jing Road. The reason is also very simple, the flow of people is one thing, and the concentration of department stores here is another.

South. Jinglu has always been praised as the first street in China and is extremely prosperous. FamilyMart is located in the south. No. 676 Jingdong Road, located at the crossroads, opposite the silk store and the tenth department store, diagonally opposite is the East Asia Hotel, clothing store, and the first food store.

After choosing the location, the other signing and the like are all trivial, and there will be cadres from Shanghai to follow up, that is, the contract can be signed.

After having lunch at the East Asia Hotel, Zhang Shaoping was not busy visiting Li Tianling, but seriously visited the Shanghai market.

The bus in Shanghai is different from the capital, in addition to the trolleybus a lot, more is called the "dragon car" by the locals link bus, according to incomplete statistics, the "dragon car" in Shanghai at this time has exceeded 3000, a very frightening number. As for the Huanghai automobile, which is popular all over the country, it has not yet appeared on the stage of history for the time being.

South. Jingdong Road is prosperous enough, but Zhang Shaoping has been squatting for nearly an hour, and nearly seventy percent of the people who come and go are buses. As a result, the current road has very wide sidewalks on both sides and extremely narrow lanes in the middle. But even so, the sidewalks are still dense and crowded. The cadres of Shanghai said exaggeratedly that fortunately it is a cold winter, and if it is the height of summer, they will have to queue up when walking.

Zhang Shaoping specially went to the Tenth Department Store and clothing store to take a look, and found that his Han and Tang popular clothes were hung alone in the boutique area for sale. I asked the clerk, what is the price, how many people buy it, and whether it sells well.

At this time, the clerks in the shopping mall and store were all bullish and coaxing, and their service attitude was so bad that they ignored Zhang Shaoping's inquiries, until the cadres of Shanghai City said with a straight face that Zhang Shaoping was a Hong Kong compatriot, and the big boss came, and the attitude of the clerks was much better.

A woman said: "There are not many people who buy it, but it sells well." ”

Zhang Shaoping wondered, there are not many people who buy it, how can it be sold well? In response to his question, the clerk explained: "Almost all of the people who buy are foreigners who come to China to work, and they buy two or three sets. The price of 300 yuan is too high, and few Chinese people can afford it. ”

This price is indeed affordable for a small number of people.

The popular clothing of the Han and Tang dynasties is divided into two categories, men's clothing is called gentry, and women's clothing is called ladies, but the two categories are subdivided into three grades: white diamonds, platinum, and silver. White diamonds are mainly handmade, cut by the top designers of Hantang Company for customers, the best tailors and the best fabrics, now Hong Kong's wealthy celebrities are almost all white diamonds, a set of clothes to say less also 7, 80,000 Hong Kong dollars to jump. Platinum is aimed at the high-income class, the best fabric mechanism, but the style is not unique, more than 8,000 Hong Kong dollars. The main customer of silver is the white-collar class, starting at 1,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The reason why the popular clothing of the Han and Tang dynasties is strong and invincible as soon as it is invested is mainly because Zhang Shaoping's intervention has brought many innovative design concepts to later generations, and the fashion and aesthetics have been ahead of this era for twenty or thirty years. But the advantage is temporary, others will eventually learn from the experience and learn this set, for example, "Goldlion" has begun to learn from the same and made a lot of clothes according to the "Fashion" magazine.

Therefore, after hearing the words of the clerk, Zhang Shaoping had an idea in his heart to open up a new grade of clothes for mainland customers: the white copper brand. 100-200 yuan, this price code is estimated to attract some Chinese people who are rich first, but whether it is feasible or not, Zhang Shaoping has no bottom in his heart.

However, soon, Zhang Shaoping's idea of a "white bronze medal" was stillborn. In the Liulin Road Garment Market and Huating Road Garment Market, Zhang Shaoping saw a lot of parallel goods with the names of popular clothing in the Han and Tang Dynasties, such as diamond cards, white diamond cards, gold cards, white bronze cards, blue diamond cards, brass cards, and a lot of miscellaneous items.

The most expensive of these clothes does not exceed 50 yuan, and the cheap ones even cost around 10 yuan, and they have completely monopolized the middle and low-end markets in the mainland. Zhang Shaoping couldn't even think of suing these garment factories for infringement and the like, because mainlanders don't have the awareness of this at all, and they can't sue them. The only thing that comforts Zhang Shaoping is that the "Fashion" magazine in the clothing market is not pirated.

Next, Zhang Shaoping went to the First Department Store, Hualian Commercial Building, passed the Jiangning Building, and went to the Triangle Vegetable Market. In the north. At the bus terminal of No. 42 and No. 48 on Jingdong Road, I saw a long queue waiting for the bus, and people were wearing thick cotton jackets, cotton clothes, cotton hats, cotton pants, cotton shoes, and cotton gloves in three layers inside and three layers outside. On a cold day, people shivered, but everyone consciously lined up. Zhang Shaoping couldn't help but sigh, who said. Chinese people have no quality, but because of the change of the environment, many people's hearts have also changed.

In the evening, there are many "street kitchens" outdoors, and grandmothers, big girls and little daughters-in-law are all eating on the street in the cold wind.

Seeing Zhang Shaoping's inquiring gaze, the accompanying cadres explained: "Shang. Many families in Haihai live very small houses, more than 20 square meters, living in six or seven people, too crowded, can only set up a stove on the side of the street to cook the whole meal. ”

Shanghai has two "characteristics" that are rare in the country, one is the street kitchen, and the other is the book and periodical borrowing stalls. The book and periodical borrowing stall is the prototype of the newsstand, which is usually between two trees on the side of the street, with a rope to pull a few lines, and then spread out the books and newspapers and hang them on the line. It is equivalent to a mobile library, and you have to pay money to borrow books, and you can read them once for a penny or two. This kind of book borrowing stall is located in the south. Beijing is also more popular, but because of the weather, Zhang Shaoping spent an afternoon in Shanghai and did not see this grand occasion.

Speaking of Shanghai, the accompanying cadres feel very proud and proud, to sum up, that is, in the era of planned economy, Shanghai supports the construction of the motherland from three aspects: talent flow, logistics, and capital flow: about 1.113 million young intellectuals go to the mountains and go to the countryside. Sea Manufacturing" became in. Synonymous with national brand-name products, Shanghai's fiscal revenue once accounted for 18% of the country's total fiscal revenue. In later generations, there is a very market-oriented logic. There are too many people living in shantytowns because they paid too much before the reform and opening up.

However, at this time, for Zhang Shaoping, the more talents in the Shanghai market, it is a good thing, which shows that the probability of inviting talents is also great.

After dinner, Zhang Shaoping knocked on the door of Mr. Li Tianling, a famous comic book artist, with two catties of pears.

The door was opened by a young man in his twenties, wearing a pair of glasses. He politely asked, "Who are you looking for, comrade?" Can I help you? ”

"Oh, you must be Li Weiding Li Painter, Zhang has admired his name for a long time, and now he has to see his face, he is really fortunate to have three lives!" Zhang Shaoping's face was full of smiles, as kind as he wanted.

These crepe titles, such as "Brother So-and-so," "Brother Ren," "Zhang," and "Zhang," are more popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but on the mainland, they all shout "comrade" when they meet. Therefore, in the face of Zhang Shaoping's "enthusiasm", Li Weiding was very unaccustomed to it, held his glasses, and said: "I am Li Weiding, but the painter is not a painter for the time being, at best he is a comic book artist." ”

"Painter Li, you are too modest, in my opinion, you have obtained the true biography of Mr. Li, the tiger father has no dog!" Zhang Shaoping complimented, flashed into the room, and introduced as he walked, "My name is Zhang Shaoping, I am from Hong Kong, and I am the boss of Hong Kong Film and Television Development Company. ”

Li Weiding couldn't stop it, he was broken in by Zhang Shaoping, and was about to get angry, when he heard Zhang Shaoping's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked: ""Huo Yuanjia" was released by your company? Are you really from Hong Kong? ”

It is no wonder that Li Weiding was surprised, although Zhang Shaoping's Mandarin is not very standard, his pronunciation is very clear, clearer than many people in Guangdong Province.

"Hehehe, it's like a fake."

In the house, a young woman with two small children is looking at her. The TV series "Huo Yuanjia" broadcast by Haitai, when they heard the abnormal noise, they couldn't help but glance at Zhang Shaoping, an uninvited guest. Zhang Shaoping smiled at them, trying to show his friendliness.

"Mr. Zhang, the so-called Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you came all the way from Hong Kong, say, what's the matter?" Li Weiding invited Zhang Shaoping to sit down, poured a cup of tea, and asked straight to the point.

Zhang Shaoping was surprised, feeling that this Li Weiding did not match the rumored surname. According to the cadre in Shanghai, the Li father and son are both people with relatively unsociable surnames, and they have never given a good face to the visitors who come to disturb their creations, and they want to enter.

Could it be that for the sake of my Hong Kong compatriots, I changed my surname? Zhang Shaoping sneered in his heart, but asked in his mouth: "I don't know where Mr. Li Tianling is?" ”

"Hey, you're looking for my father?"

"Yes! Neither is it! Zhang Shaoping gave an ambiguous reply. He carried Yang Jie's letter of introduction, if he saw Li Tianling, the worst, Li Tianling would also look at the monk's face and introduce some people to him.

"What do you mean?" Li Weiding frowned and asked.

Zhang Shaoping thought to himself: This Li Weiding is relatively young, and he should be more aggressive, see if he can be persuaded to go south! At that moment, Zhang Shaoping agitated his three-inch tongue and said what he meant.
