Chapter 428: I haven't seen a movie
As soon as Li Zhongxin and Wang Bo returned from walking around the village near Toulin Town to make inquiries, they heard from the people in the town that a movie had been carried out in the square in the town to go to the countryside, and that the movie "Railway Guerrillas" was to be shown in the small square in the town.
For the township in the 80s, if there was a movie going to the countryside, it would be the rhythm of all the old and young masters in the town to watch.
For the township, this news is even more sensational than the big leaders in the county seat or city.
At this time, there were almost no entertainment activities in the townships, let alone the popularization of television, or even the popularity of tape recorders.
The news was shouted by the only loudspeaker in the town, and almost the whole township was boiling.
When he returned to the supermarket at his second aunt's house with Wang Bo, he actually saw that the second aunt and the second aunt's husband had made a big cart and were pulling a large cart of things to the town!
Li Zhongxin's second aunt, Wang Yaqin, was different from other people in the town, and at this time, she was the only private merchant in the town that sold groceries.
The state-run supply and marketing cooperatives are the big brothers, and the people who sell goods in them all eat imperial grain, and the quality of sales has little to do with them.
Wang Yaqin is different, she is self-employed, and if she can make money, she can consider earning it.
If you make a lot of money, you don't bite your hand, and now in the whole town, who doesn't know that Wang Yaqin is now a rich family.
When Li Zhongxin and Wang Bo saw this, they walked directly to the square with the two of them.
On the way, Li Zhongxin asked with a smile: "Second aunt, you pushed so many things to eat and drink over there, can you put them for sale over there?" ”
"Faithful! If I wasn't allowed to put it up and sell it, would I be able to bring so many things, tables and chairs, and so on? The projection team has a good relationship with us, and many times we settle down at my second aunt's house. This time, Toulin Town showed a movie, and they called me and asked me to go over there to prepare in advance, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to rush over at this point. As soon as the movie is shown in the town, the people in the town go to the square to watch the movie, and at this time they can sell something. Wang Yaqin smiled while pushing the car forward, and her face showed a kind of confidence.
The projection team in the countryside here in Fuxian County has a very good relationship with Wang Yaqin.
As long as the screening team goes to the township of Toulin to show the movie, then Wang Yaqin will be notified in advance before each screening, so that Wang Yaqin can go to the screening venue in advance to make arrangements.
This is a win-win situation, Wang Yaqin and her husband Yang Defeng went over there to set up a few small tables, and put their own soda bread and children's favorite food honey, large ponds, fruit candy and other things to the front row of the movie.
These people in the townships who come to watch the movie, if they have some money at home, will spend two cents or three cents to buy something for the children to eat.
There is not much money, and if the child has a penny or a dime in his hand, he will come to the front to sell a piece of honey or buy a small bag of melon seeds or something.
If you really don't have any money, then there's no way.
At this time, the children who had no money accounted for the majority, and the hands of the adults were not very rich, although the harvest of '83 was very good, and the peasants had a little money in their hands, but these people still would not easily take out a five-cent or dime to buy those useless things for the children.
At this time, children's spare time activities are very rare, almost all of them are crazy in the land, or a few boys throw mud dolls together, do hide and seek or something, in short, movies like this are shown in the countryside, it is very rare.
This has a certain relationship with the funds given by the state to show films in the countryside, and in many cases, the people in charge of the management of this part of the funds in the county or city cannot come up with the funds to let the projection team go to the countryside to show them.
Generally speaking, the state has issued the task of screening, or the township leaders below and the higher-level departments have asked for instructions, hoping that the higher-level departments will give the film screening, and the projection team will come to the township to screen the film.
These people who show movies earn dead wages, and it is also a chore to show movies below, and many people who show movies don't like to go down to the towns and villages to show movies.
But what! There are exceptions, and after these projection team members went to Toulin Town to screen a movie, they began to like to come here to show movies.
When they went to the township to show the movie, the leaders in the township didn't give them much care, and they didn't even care about lunch, but Wang Yaqin tasted the sweetness of the movie going to the countryside.
As long as the people from the film projection team go to Toulin Town to show movies, then Wang Yaqin will bring the things sold in the grocery chain supermarket to the movie side.
In the front part, the film projection team will basically be left to Wang Yaqin's side.
And Wang Yaqin is also quite good to the staff who send movies to the countryside, as long as she is given care and convenience, then these staff who show movies will be invited to their homes by Li Zhongxin's second aunt Wang Yaqin after the movie is screened.
Good wine, good cigarettes, good hospitality, and even when she is happy, her second aunt Wang Yaqin will accompany these moviegoers to drink a few sips.
Most of the women in the countryside here in Fuxian County can smoke, and they can drink some alcohol, and the second aunt Wang Yaqin has a good relationship with the people in the projection team, as long as these people from the projection team go to Toulin Town to show movies, then they will give Wang Yaqin convenience.
When the movie was played, Wang Yaqin made money, and they didn't break any rules, and they also fell into favor.
When the time comes, eating and drinking in Wang Yaqin's house will also be righteous.
Li Zhongxin saw that the second aunt Wang Yaqin's business acumen was still quite good, and before the movie was screened, the tables and chairs were placed neatly.
Before the movie even started showing it, a lot of things were sold.
What makes Li Zhongxin feel the most funny is that among the things sold by the second aunt, the cigarettes sold the best, and the best cigarettes were actually sold by Lungen.
A box of four dimes and five cents on the large production, sold by the root can actually be sold for five cents a piece.
In a short period of time, Wang Yaqin had already sold more than 30 yuan of things.
Just when Li Zhongxin was pondering the way the second aunt sold the goods, a child who was two or three years younger than him actually ran to a middle-aged woman in her thirties in front of him and asked, "Fourth aunt, what is the movie to be released in the square today?" ”
I haven't seen a movie...... A depressed and aggrieved thought suddenly surged up in Li Zhong's confidence.
In a region like China, which is not so backward as the extreme, children who have already gone to school have not seen movies.
