1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 333 88 years have passed
Compared to sedans, jeeps are much cheaper. I bought one for only 30,000 yuan in the summer.

If you have a Mercedes-Benz 60E worth 300, you can buy twenty Yanjing Jeeps!
When I went to buy the car, a manager of Yanjing Jeep recognized Xia Tian and was very excited.

There are so many benefits and procedures that I can’t wait to get them.

There are also photos of Xia Tian shaking hands and taking photos in front of the car, as well as photos of Xia Tian test driving the car.

Xia Tian couldn't help but praise him, "Look at him, he has such a business sense. He immediately went to find a camera. I guess my photos will be enlarged and hung on the wall in the future. Maybe they will even be published in the newspaper!"

Xia Tian said that he drives a Jeep and can help sell thousands more Jeeps a year, and he is not exaggerating.

If this news gets out, many people who want to buy a car will start considering Yanjing Jeep.

Li Chengru was so jealous on the side!
I'm a big boss, but no one even glanced at me when I stood here?!

And my own buddy, our own advertisement has not been made yet, let Yanjing Jeep make it first~
After buying the car, Li Chengru insisted that Xia Tian buy a mobile phone!

"No! You have to buy it today whether you want to or not. No, I'll give you one. Go! Go now!"

"Hurry up! I'll make one for you. It's hard to buy now!"

"You'll know it's good after you use it!"

Xia Tian kept shaking his head: "No!"

"Why?"

"inconvenient."

"Isn't this inconvenient? You can't wait for the kind of mobile phone in your novel to come out?"

Li Chengru was talking about the kind of smartphone described in Xia Tian’s novel.

Of course he thought it was a work of fantasy science fiction!
Xia Tian felt that mobile phones were really useless - wasn't his pager just gathering dust?
However, Li Chengru had the same mentality when he asked Xia Tian to buy a mobile phone!

I got a mobile phone, but I couldn't get a single call for days! Isn't it a waste of money?

No, I have to arrange one for Xia Tian. I will call him every day from now on~
This thing has only been in Yanjing for a year, and not many people use it. It's dead heavy, and the signal is not very good.

In fact, there are only five analog mobile phone base stations in Yanjing now, one in the urban area and the other four in the suburbs.

The International Hotel in the urban area was the tallest building in Yanjing at that time. Now the urban area is small, and 5 base stations can basically cover the entire urban area.

But the first batch of numbers released to the public for trial operation has a total capacity of only 2000 households.
And it's very expensive. The phone alone costs 6000 yuan, and you also need to pay 150 yuan for installation fee and yuan for monthly rent.

Damn, half a jeep!

But the mobile phone advertisements shouted loudly: "With a mobile phone in hand, you can travel around the world without fear."

The biggest effect is pretending to be powerful~
It is also said that there is radiation, and your ears will burn if you talk on the phone for a long time!

In 93, the Yenching Daily published an article discussing the question "Will mobile phones kill people?"

……

After buying a new car and a mobile phone, Xia Tian took Milan and the other three for a trip around Yanjing and went to a suburban farm to see the little white dragon.

"I suffered so much for you two, and you still dare to make fun of me? Don't ask me for help next time!"

Xiao Xu smiled: "Milan is the only one who is crying for help. You know me. I would rather die than surrender~"

……

At the end of that year, a movie called "Black Sun 731" was released in Hong Kong!
The director of this film is Mou Dunfu, who previously directed the film "Heroes Emerge from Young Age".

This guy's movies later became famous for their bloody violence and were quite controversial!

This movie is the first movie to be rated as Category 18 after Hong Kong revised its film rating system to Category . Only people over years old are allowed to watch it...

It is said that in order to collect relevant material data, Director Mou spent a lot of time traveling around Japan and the United States. When he started writing the script and applying for filming in the late 80s, he was advised by the mainland: "The current Sino-Japanese relations are good, and we hope to postpone filming."

Director Mou was stubborn and eventually spent six months to complete the filming.

When the film was released, director Mou deliberately put subtitles at the beginning and end of the film to make it clear, "Friendship is friendship, history is history" and "This film is dedicated to the millions of suffering people who were subjected to experiments."

……

There are also many movies produced inland.

For example, Mi Jiashan's "The Troublemakers" made Ge You and Zhang Guoli famous. Zhang Guoli also served as the assistant director of the crew.

The film also stars Liang Tian, ​​Pan Hong, Ma Xiaoqing and others.

It is said that Ma Xiaoqing, a freshman at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, dropped out of school just to act in the show!

This film has a very "dialect flavor", a bit like the films that Feng Kuzi shot later.

Ge You has finally reached the threshold of being an actor. His lines are full of cynical ruffian flavor!

"Brother, is there anything exciting tonight?"

"I can't tell you now, but I can reveal one thing: the show is quite vulgar."

"Hey, man, I like the cheesy ones!"

In recent years, with the publication of a number of foreign ideological and academic works in China, a new enlightenment movement has begun.

The works of Sartre, Nietzsche, Freud and others are competing with each other in the market, and humanitarian thoughts and modern literary thoughts are contending in the literary and academic circles.

The sweep of this Western thought has not only caused a strong response among the intellectual class, but its traces can also be seen everywhere in daily life.

For example, there was a widely circulated saying at that time: As long as you bring a copy of Freud's work to a blind date, then the blind date will definitely be a success.
This phenomenon was ridiculed in the movie "The Troublemakers".

Woman: "Hey, Freud said that sons all want to marry their mothers, right?"

Male: "The one who married my mom was my dad. I can't possibly marry my mom before my dad married my mom. It's impossible!"

It also satirized some awards - pulling a group of extras who don't understand literature, asking them to recite a few sentences, holding a jar as a trophy, and then inviting the "writer" to say a few words before the ceremony ended.
In the film, Ge You has a line: "I'm just a silly boy, don't worry about me", does it sound like the self-deprecating loser of netizens later? Does it sound like the later lying flat~
This year, Ge You's luck turned. Zhang Yimou, who had just won the Berlin Golden Bear, also took a fancy to him and asked him to star in "Codename Jaguar".

What a pity~
Ge You is not good at this subject, and neither is Lao Mouzi. The first commercial attempt failed.
There was also a movie called "The Price of Madness" this year, directed by Zhou Xiaowen (who later played the Sweeping Monk in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"), written by Lu Wei, and produced by Xi'an Film Studio.

The film tells the sensitive topic of a young girl being molested.

The shot begins with a scene of two sisters with deep affection taking a bath together, but it is shot through vaporous glass.

Although it appears hazy, it would still be criticized even now.

The movie poster also reads: "The first domestic exploration film with all-nude actors", "seduction, vendetta, and almost insane voyeurism".

The Price of Madness has been called "the most violent domestic film ever shown in theaters." It is also said to be the first car chase scene in a domestic film?

There was no substitute at that time, and Wu Yujuan (one of the five golden flowers of the Central Academy of Drama), a third-year student at the Central Academy of Drama, personally performed the bathroom bathing scene.

Because it appears at the beginning of the film, the key parts are always blocked by subtitles, which makes many gay men depressed.

(Unfortunately, the picture cannot be posted)
But after the film was released, some enthusiastic viewers still wrote letters to criticize Wu Yujuan for her moral corruption.

In another movie, "Ranger Black Butterfly", the director was probably inspired by the story of Liu Wencai and felt that the most corrupt thing for rich people was to drink human milk... When the close-up filled the screen, the audience couldn't believe their eyes for a moment!
The film begins with a scene of a bandit raping a woman. The camera quickly scans the half-naked woman, and then a female knight appears.

However, this scene is like the spider spirit taking a bath in Journey to the West. You have to watch it 33 times to get the clue.
There is also the movie "Silver Snake Murder Case" directed by Xia Tian’s "senior" Li Shaohong!
This film is a breakthrough in the field of domestic suspense crime films. The bizarre nature of the case and the bold scale are impressive, and it is full of crime, violence, horror and other elements!
——Before their death, the victims were only wearing underwear, tied to chairs and screaming, with a coral snake crawling on their bodies, giving a very SM-like impact.

The pornographic picture is even placed in the center of the screen, showing the conflict between freedom and system.
The film involves many violent and thriller plots, so it caused huge controversy after its release. Some viewers reported 18 shots in the film, causing the film to face the risk of being banned.

Li Shaohong was under a lot of pressure at the time, but fortunately the movie was a huge success after it was released - Yanying Studio sold more than 200 copies, setting a record for the highest number of copies at Yanying Studio at the time, and became one of the best-selling movies of the year.

The male protagonist, Jia Hongsheng, is still a student, and his melancholy and handsome appearance makes him look like an idol.

After this movie, Jia Hongsheng quickly became famous in the mainland film industry and became a household name in the 2010s. Unfortunately, he later became a drug addict and eventually chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building in .

How should I put it? In the late 80s, domestic films entered a heavy taste stage of "literary and physical"!
This year, a man named Tao Jin invested 300 yuan to shoot the movie "Rock Youth", which was released on the big screen and grossed million yuan.

As a result, Tao Jin became the protagonist of TV evening parties across the country overnight and was called "China's Michael Jackson."

Even the chief director of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala told Xia Tian that he wanted to invite him to participate in next year's Spring Festival Gala!

There is also the movie "The Chess King", the version starring Teng Wenji, not the one starring Liang Jiahui...

……

As for TV dramas, production has also begun to increase.

"Plainclothes Policemen" adapted from the original work by Wang Ruohai and starring Xia Tian, ​​"Snow City" adapted from the novel by Liang Xiaosheng and starring Ni Ping, "The Last Emperor" starring Chen Daoming, the drama version of which was filmed at the same time as the movie of the same name, the sad drama "Yi Jian Mei", and the classic "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" that will be difficult to replicate in the future!
There is "Na Wu" starring Feng Gong, and "Eight Banners Sons" starring Pan Zi (a movie "Eight Banners Sons" directed by Li Hanxiang and starring Chen Daoming was also released this year).

There is also "The Legend of Haideng", which is based on the previously popular monk Haideng.

This year, many people have emerged in the music industry, including Mao Amin, Hang Tianqi, and La Ying.

La Ying released a northwest-wind song "Mountain Valley", but her main work this year is to cover the song of island singer Su Rui!

She covered almost all of Su Rui's songs and released many cover cassettes.

In order to increase the sales of cassettes, the record company gave La Ying various stage names - Su Bing, Su Ran... to take advantage of Su Rui's popularity~
When Xiaoxu told this to the audience, Xia Tian laughed so hard.

But Yingzi herself knows that she is embarrassed, but there is nothing she can do.
Chi Zhiqiang also became popular again, and Prison Songs suddenly became popular.

This year, Red Flag ceased publication and Seeking Truth was founded...

This year has passed.
