Chapter Seventy-Five: "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia"
(The previous chapter has changed a bit, adding seven or eight hundred words, and if you have read it, read it again.) )
Huiyang is one of the important settlements and distribution centers of the Hakka people, and is known as the capital of Hakka overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots.
Ding Guanguan is a native of Yuancheng County, Huiyang Region, a pure Hakka person.
The spring breeze of reform and opening up blew through Shenzhen and Guancheng, and all the way to the depth of Guangdong Province. The people of Yuancheng County naturally felt this vigorous force, and they went south, or to Shenzhen, or to Suicheng, and even some people simply did not go anywhere, so they started a small business.
For a time, fallen masters and self-employed people sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, breaking ground everywhere. Ding Guanguan is a small self-employed person specializing in clothing wholesale and retail. He has not been involved in this trip deeply, and it has only been three months since he was full, but in less than 100 days, he has earned more money than others who go south to Shenzhen and get more salary for a year of hard work in a foreign company.
No, he didn't have that much money on hand, so he bought a TV set and went home.
At this time, those who can afford to use the TV are the first to get rich. There are very few such families, and when Ding Champion won a TV, all the neighbors were shocked. They gathered around his house and joined in the fun.
"Junzai, you really have the ability, you've only been out for a few days, and you can afford to buy a TV!" This is a suspicion of praising the horse.
"Alas, decrepit! You look at how many other military boys have surnames, why don't you learn it? "This is a typical hatred of iron that does not make steel.
"Oh, the luck of the military boy is so good, you can earn a TV by selling some clothes casually! My mountain boy is unlucky, how to do it, how to lose! This aunt's face was full of envy, jealousy and hatred. However, everyone who heard her words pouted disdainfully, your Shanzi is not bad luck, he is a bad person, and all the money is spent on eating, drinking, and gambling.
"This is a good day, maybe my family went to work in Hangzi to buy a TV during the Spring Festival." This is the most calm type, full of vision for life.
The neighbors gossip and say everything.
Ding Guanguan pretended not to hear the words of his neighbors, quickly opened the cardboard box, and took out a 19-inch Panda brand black and white TV.
"Wow! This...... This TV is so big! ”
In this era when TVs were just beginning to prevail, domestic black-and-white TVs accounted for the absolute majority, mostly 12 inches and 14 inches, and some 16 inches, 17 inches and 19 inches, the least was 9 inches, 21 inches, 25 inches, and the most bullish 29 inches. The 19-inch TV was already huge, so it was no wonder that the crowd of onlookers let out exclamations.
"Tsk! This is bigger than the TV of 'Deng Wanyuan' at the end of the street! ”
"Isn't it, his TV is like a baby, and no one is allowed to touch it! According to me, Lao Ding's family is a treasure. ”
"Deng Wanyuan" is actually not called "Deng Wanyuan", his real name is Deng Jiachang, just because he is the earliest 10,000 yuan household in the vicinity, so he was labeled with the nickname "Deng Wanyuan" to show that he has money and ability.
Ding Guanguan's parents listened to the words of praise or envy from everyone, and they were so cool in their hearts, they told you to look down on people, and now you know that my son has a future, right? At this moment, the two elders completely forgot how they fiercely opposed Ding Champion's business three months ago, and almost staged a scene of crying, making trouble and hanging himself.
Ding Champion's younger brother and sister held their heads high in front of their partners, their chests held high, and their little faces looked proud and proud. The two little ones saw the envious eyes of their playmates and felt very enjoyable. At this time, they only felt that the eldest brother Ding Champion was the most capable brother in the world.
Ding Champion doesn't know the ecology below, he is now climbing on the roof, setting up a fishbone antenna. You don't need any technical skills to tinker with this thing, just follow the drawings. Set up the antenna, Ding Guanguan climbed down the ladder, then plugged in the power and turned on the TV.
The sound of "whoa, whoa, whoa," sounded, and everyone heard it, but they thought it was very beautiful.
There was a snowflake on the screen. Ding Guanguan hurriedly adjusted the stage according to what was written in the manual. He twisted the dialing button, kept spinning, and soon, first, a voice came out. Everyone was in high spirits, and they all stared at the TV screen, and finally jumped suddenly, and the picture came out.
"The picture is out! Hey, that's blurry! ”
"You're in a hurry, aren't the junzi still tuning?"
In the midst of the noise of the crowd, the picture of the TV became clearer and clearer, but Dante Champion was still not satisfied, he climbed on the roof again, gently moved the fishbone antenna, the reception signal gradually increased, and everyone below shouted chaotically: "Okay, okay, clear enough!" ”
Ding Guanguan came down and saw the portrait on the TV, and he also thought it was clear enough. At this time, there were two channels in Guangdong Province, the first TV channel was a Mandarin channel, and the second TV channel had just been changed to a Cantonese channel the year before last. What everyone is watching now is the Mandarin channel, and what is playing on TV is the first domestic feature-length TV series "The Legend of Shrimp Ball" that has been replayed repeatedly.
When I saw that there was a TV watching, everyone stopped leaving, they all sat or stood, and watched it with relish.
Ding Champion slapped his forehead, almost forgetting that there was another thing. He pulled out a plastic sheet from the cardboard box, pasted it on the TV, and then flashed it open, and the entire portrait of the black and white machine changed.
"Hey, why did it suddenly change color?"
"Didn't Jun Zai put a thin slice on it just now, it should have changed the color of the portrait."
"It turns out that color TV is like this! I've seen it today! ”
Hearing this conversation, Ding Guanguan couldn't help laughing, this is just a black and white machine color plastic diaphragm, through it, there are a total of three colors, it is really not a color TV.
In 1978, the S City TV Factory introduced the country's first color TV production line, and it was not until October 82 that the domestic Venus brand color TV was officially put into production. At present, most of the color TVs on the market are imported products, and they are extremely expensive, taking the Panasonic 29-inch color TV as an example, its price in the mainland is more than 13,000 yuan, and even reached 15,000 at one time.
Such an expensive thing,10,000 households can't afford it at the beginning stage,At least 85 years later,More and more people will favor color TVs。 Of course, most people still buy domestic goods, and imported color TVs are still the patent of the rich.
However, in this era when false collars are prevalent, even if you can't afford to buy a real color TV or a large-screen TV, there will be a substitute, that is, the black and white machine color plastic diaphragm and the black and white machine screen front magnifying glass.
These two small things, regardless of whether your TV is "Panda brand", "Peacock brand", "Phoenix brand", "B City brand" or "Venus brand", as long as you use it, the color and size of the portrait are uniform, and there is no difference.
"Wow...... It's so pretty! What a wonderful game! ”
“...... What kind of film is this, it's so fierce! This, this...... How can people fly?! ”
"What a beautiful woman this woman is! I think she's more beautiful than Zhang Yu! ”
"Who said her...... As beautiful as Zhang Yu. ”
Just finished watching "The Legend of Shrimp Ball", everyone was reluctant to go home, but when they saw the picture turn, a series of martial arts scenes suddenly appeared.
These are some of the trailers of "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia", and the opening song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" was also sung in a melody and frustration.
"Ah......h
"After a hundred years of sleep, the Chinese people have gradually woken up."
"Open your eyes, be careful, who is willing to admit that the captives are arrogant because of cowering and forbearance, and people are arrogant and ......"
“...... All of them take on the mission, the Great Wall will never fall, and the Yellow River will be surging ......for thousands of miles."
A song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall", which is heartwarming and majestic, arouses the patriotic feelings of countless Chinese sons and daughters, and sings Ding Guanguan and others with enthusiasm, and a national righteousness and righteousness arise spontaneously.
""Huo Yuanjia" and you will gather on the Cantonese channel, tonight at seven o'clock, see you or leave!"
As soon as the song ended, such a sentence immediately popped up on the screen.
"Is this TV series called "Huo Yuanjia"? It's so pretty! I must come to Lao Ding tonight to see it! ”
"Yes, yes, let's hurry back to cook and eat, after eating, hurry up and take a seat!"
This sentence completely detonated everyone's emotions, and they all rushed out of the door and fled home.
The small means of playing the film is of course Zhang Shaoping's ghost idea. However, it is clear that it works surprisingly well.
In the late 70s to early 80s, Hong Kong TV was in its golden age, selling well in South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, etc., so whether it is Li's (ATV) or wireless, many titles have such characteristics, that is, a simple title, which can allow the audience to understand the general plot and character relationships. And these clips are carefully designed and specially shot by the TV station (these pictures will not appear in the TV series), and the pictures match the lyrics perfectly, so the opening at this time is very precious. However, after the mid-80s, this situation was almost extinct.
......
Just after six o'clock in the evening, a large number of neighbors brought their own small wooden stools to Ding Guanguan's house one after another. There were more and more people, and by the time the TV series was about to be broadcast, the number of people exceeded 50. Fortunately, the hall of the Ding family is large enough, although it is a little crowded, but it can accommodate so many people.
"Ah...... After a hundred years of sleep, the Chinese people have gradually woken up......"
At seven o'clock, in the heart-wrenching and reckless singing, "Huo Yuanjia" was officially launched.
"Huo Yuanjia" has quite a lot of martial arts scenes, sharp and sharp, all of them are real kung fu, and they are by no means flying around and showing off their legs. At this time, people have never watched a martial arts movie, and when they saw Huo Yuanjia jumping so high at the beginning of the film, they took it for granted that this was "flying", but in fact, this is too far worse than the flying of martial arts dramas.
Although the whole drama is very enjoyable, tiger and tiger, fist to the flesh, but the most important thing is that the theme is clear and clear, and the whole drama revolves around the main line of how a young man in a small town grows into a national hero in the changing times. It is interspersed with brotherly love and children's private feelings.
There has always been a big drawback in mainland TV dramas, that is, bad people are bad people all their lives, and good people are good people from childhood to old age! The content of the characters is stereotyped, almost immutable, how can there be such as "Huo Yuanjia", the plot is ups and downs, exciting, the characters' surnames are distinct and vivid, coupled with wonderful martial arts kung fu, it is difficult not to cause a ratings frenzy!
......
As soon as "Huo Yuanjia" was released, it was unprecedented, causing a ratings frenzy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an empty alley.
In the history of TV drama ratings in the mainland, there has never been such a phenomenon, and when "Huo Yuanjia" is broadcast, the major streets are empty, and Yemen is full of people at the door of the store. Not only that, but even when the drama was broadcast, there were fewer criminal cases.
