XXVI. Opening
Under the careful guidance of Director Lin Zihong, he finally understood the current form and a series of things he needed to prepare, and then took Wei Ren to Director Hong's house again the next day, and Director Hong also took Wei Ren to the industrial and commercial department that had just been established for more than a year at that time, but after learning that there is no special provision for individual businesses to apply for business licenses in the Northeast, Director Hong was also worried.
Lin Zi was very depressed and waited with Wei Ren at Director Hong's house to find a way for him, and Director Hong also made a lot of phone calls before he realized that it was not yet time for the self-employed to think of a way for Lin Zi after receiving the business license.
That is, Director Hong came forward, and the Red Star Cinema was contracted to Wei Ren as a commercial place for self-financing on the street.
There is no other reason, it is because Wei Ren is now in his early twenties, he is old enough, and Lin Zi believes in him!
In this way, after several setbacks, the Red Star Cinema finally opened before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Lin Zi, the Wei family brothers, Gao Lao Wu, Xiao Er Ren Peng and others pooled money to come up with the contract fee, which was two hundred yuan a year at that time.
Gao Lao Wu is responsible for promoting what today's movie is playing, while Wei Ren is responsible for scheduling the film, Hongxing is responsible for screening, and Xiao Er and Ren Peng are ready to go south to study a new videotape for Lin Zi after getting the last little money raised by Lin Zi.
Lin Zi took a few people to start selling tickets at the door, and the price of movie tickets at that time was one dime and a half a piece, and after the opening of Lin Zi's Red Star Cinema, Lin Zi thought of a way to solicit people, and it was the first person to come up with the concept of big rewards in that era, that is, people who came to the Red Star Cinema to watch movies, a dime a ticket, and a bag of melon seeds for free.
And Wei Ran, the Wei family brothers, prepared a lot of snacks under Lin Zi's arrangement, such as melon seeds and old soda, and sold them at the door.
At that time, the movie theaters were basically clubs of major factories and units, and the movies screened were basically nothing new, all of them were movies with revolutionary themes, and Lin Zi came up to be the most popular Shaw Brothers film company in Hong Kong and Taiwan at that time.
At that time, the Red Star Cinema could accommodate fifty people to sit and watch the movie, because it was too popular at the beginning, Lin Zi directly asked people to remove all the stools in the movie theater, and all of them were replaced with small Maza, but after the first movie, the little Maza was withdrawn, because it was really impossible to sit down, so he could only let people watch the movie by himself with Mazha bench to find a place to watch it.
On average, a movie can basically ensure that about 100 people are crowded into it, a movie is about 80 minutes at the time, from 8 am to 8 pm 12 hours a day, can play almost nine movies, nine movies down is nearly 90 yuan of income, which was astronomical for many people at that time.
Even Liu Zhu, who left, later said that the most money he had ever seen was the few big solidarities that Ren Peng threw to him when he saw him off, and after the movie theater on Lin Zi's side opened, the brothers around him undoubtedly became the real high-income people who were making money every day at that time.
At that time, the author learned from Lao Liu's memories that at that time, it was nothing that someone could wear a general colonel for more than five years, and the more popular thing at that time was the yellow standard military uniform, referred to as the yellow four bags.
Because the clothes with four pockets at that time represented those worn by people of the cadre rank, many people wore those yellow uniforms, and Lin Zi's gang wore these clothes uniformly with a flat top, what is a flat top? It was the most valuable sheepskin fur at that time, twenty-five yuan a top, and the forest was all flat-topped.
Since the opening of the movie theater, Lin Zi's group has quickly become popular, holding a lot of money, and has the most powerful power, and an old man said at the time that Wang Minglin at that time was the real big brother.
But whenever this kind of words reached Lin Zi's ears, Lin Zi always smiled and said, "I prefer others to call me Boss Wang!" ”
At the end of 1979, Wang Minglin became popular, and the Wei brothers on Taoyuan Road, Gao Lao Wu, and the thieves Xiao Er and Ren Peng were on fire together!
After Lin Zi got better, Hon Hai often brought his classmates here to watch movies when he had nothing to do, while Lin Zi often went to take telegrams to Liu Zhu on weekends to tell him about the situation on his side.
At this time, Liu Zhu, who was already in a certain training team, received a telegram from home, and happily sat at the door of the cooking class and asked the leader of the cooking class to read it to him.
"Zhuzi, is this your brother in the family? Every time I send a telegram, I will bring you some money by the way! That's interesting! The cooking squad leader was a big fat man, squatting on the side and asking Liu Zhu with a smile.
"Am I kidding you? In City C, you inquire about me, forget it, you don't understand! When you go home in the future, go to the C city to have a look...."When Liu Zhu was about to blow with his cooking squad leader, two people in the distance ran over and shouted at Liu Zhu out of breath, "Zhuzi, something happened!" ”
As soon as Liu Zhu heard that something was wrong, he hurriedly kicked up the telegram and money, stood up and asked, "What's wrong, Lao Jiu, pockmark?" ”
The old nine people were out of breath and said to Liu Zhu, "Just now we thought about going to the service agency to buy some cigarettes or something, waiting for the Chinese New Year, otherwise we wouldn't be able to buy it, but the detectives lined up there and scolded us!" ”
"Then you're going to scold him?" Liu Zhu said disdainfully, then lit a cigarette and said.
"Fuck, these people said that all the people from our C city are bad baskets, and they beat the small bowls!" Asako said through gritted teeth.
After Liu Zhu heard the words of the two people, he immediately stopped, turned around and entered the cooking class directly, and after a while, he took it out with his arms, pointed at the cooking squad leader and shouted, "Where is the key?" Open the kitchen knife rack for me! ”
"Or, you can't help it, you listen to me, you want to make progress, can't..." The chubby cooking squad leader persuaded Liu Zhu while slowly approaching, and suddenly rushed up and hugged Liu Zhu directly, and then shouted, "Zhuzi, you have to see that you have been doing well recently, you must not cause trouble, you know?" You listen to me! The cooking squad leader hugged Liu Zhu and kept shouting.
