1980: My Literary Era

Lin Weimin, in a daze, transmigrated into a "sent-down youth" (educated youth) in the countryside. Without parents and unable to return to the city, he chose to embark on a literary path to...

Chapter 831: Sports students are amazing

According to statistics, the total box office revenue of the domestic film market in 1995 was 950 million yuan, with 520 million moviegoers in urban areas and an average ticket price of 1.83 yuan, a slight improvement over 1994, but still at a historical low.

Under the dual influence of imported blockbusters and piracy, many domestic film studios are in a panic, and they can't understand one thing.

Since the government promoted film reform, everyone has actually been working hard, but the final result is that the harder they work, the sadder they feel.

It was a box office flop and its word of mouth wasn’t great.

In fact, the state-owned film studios, which occupy an absolute majority in domestic film production, are now terminally ill, and it is far from being changed by everyone's efforts. These studios are in an awkward situation whether in terms of investment capacity, market grasp or internal management. In fact, more than half of the state-owned film studios can only maintain the situation in the past two years by selling factory logos, renting venues, and collecting labor fees for loaned personnel.

It is unrealistic to rely on such a main force to win the battle.

The success of "If You Are the One" fully demonstrates the advantages of private capital and mixed ownership. This was said by Liu Jianzhong at an internal meeting of the Film Bureau.

The box office revenue was 21.6 million in the first week and 29.1 million in the second week, with the cumulative box office revenue reaching 50.7 million. It has been the box office champion in the domestic film market for two consecutive weeks, and it also ended the dominance of "Life is Beautiful" in the domestic film market. Cinemas across the country have gradually removed the film from screenings.

The leaders of the Film Bureau finally had some light on their faces, even if it was only temporary.

Liu Jianzhong naturally has a different view on "If You Are the One", a movie that boosts market confidence and brings honor to the leaders.

The period after National Day every year is the best season of the year in Yanjing. During the National Day, Lin Weimin did not take his family out for fun.

In recent years, the people's living standards have continued to improve, many people are full of hope for the future, and the tourism economy has been fully boosted. During holidays, the major attractions in Yanjing are crowded with people, especially during the National Day. Lin Weimin doesn't want to join in the fun.

Instead, on the weekend after the National Day, I invited three or five friends and my family to go on an outing to the suburbs of Yanjing.

Early in the morning of that day, Xiao Doubao got up very early without being called.

When she had to get up early to go to kindergarten, this girl always seemed like she couldn't wake up. She was unwilling to get up until the last few minutes. Only when Tao Huimin sent her to the gate of Beihai Kindergarten would she jump up and down and act like a big sister again.

Tao Huimin and the nanny were preparing food for lunch, and she was using her short legs to help put the food in the car.

Everything is almost ready, and the family sets off.

Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin drove two cars, and he also had to pick up Shi Tiesheng's family.

The car made a circle on Jintai Road in the eastern suburbs, picked up Shi Tiesheng's family, and then drove west.

Sitting in Lin Weimin's car were Shi Tiesheng and his son.

Cheng Ximi was sitting in Tao Huimin's car. Tao Huimin was driving, and Cheng Ximi was sitting in the back seat with Xiao Doubao. The two were chatting while the car passed by the residential area next to the Jinghua Museum, where a demolition notice board had been posted.

"Hui Min, is this the land that the museum for the people will occupy?" Cheng Ximi looked out the window and asked Tao Huimin.

"Um."

“What a huge place!”

Speaking of this, Tao Huimin couldn't help but complain: "It was originally agreed that 50 mu of land would be demolished, but I don't know what the municipal government was thinking. They insisted on demolishing more land for Weimin. He didn't calculate the accounts. They asked him to demolish all of this land, so he did it, and spent a lot of extra money."

"All demolished? Can you use it?" Cheng Ximi asked in amazement while looking out the window.

"What if we can't use all the money? The money has been spent, and he said he would build a bigger venue. He is a person who never counts the money for anything he does."

Tao Huimin's face was full of pain when she mentioned spending money.

Cheng Ximi smiled and said, "Who made your teacher Lin a wealthy man? It's unrealistic to expect him to spend money frugally."

While the two were talking, Xiao Doubao leaned against the car window and looked at the area that was about to be demolished, and asked, "Auntie, do you think it would be a good idea to build an amusement park here?"

Cheng Ximi was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer her question.

Tao Huimin was driving the car and said, "Don't worry about her. This girl has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. She said this to me."

She then said to Xiao Dou Bao, "Go and ask your father. If he agrees, he will build it for you."

Hearing this, Xiao Doubao pouted and looked very unhappy.

Cheng Ximi couldn't help but smile as she looked at her mischievous appearance.

After driving for less than an hour, the two cars stopped at the east gate of Baiwangshan Forest Park.

When Lin Weimin got out of the car, he saw Qu Xiaowei standing behind his newly purchased BMW 750Li, waving at Lin Weimin and his friends, with the temperament of a nouveau riche.

"See? I just picked up the car, and when I greet people, I can't get away from the car. It's like I'm glued to it."

Lin Weimin whispered to Shi Tiesheng about Qu Xiaowei, and Shi Tiesheng couldn't help laughing, "You are such a mean person."

Compared with Qu Xiaowei, Zheng Guo is much more low-key. He drives a Peugeot.

In addition to these two families, Tong Zhonggui, Yu Hua and Mo Yan also came today.

Tong Zhonggui also drove here today. He and Mo Yan came alone. Yu Hua brought his wife and children, and the five of them squeezed into one car.

Last year, "Party A and Party B" achieved a box office of 60 million yuan. Tong Zhonggui took advantage of the situation and got 200,000 yuan, which he bought a Toyota Camry.

When people buy cars these days, they're basically either German cars or mud trucks.

After gathering at the gate, everyone entered the forest park.

Baiwangshan Forest Park is located outside the fifth ring road in the northwest of Yanjing City. It sounds far away, but considering that it is only 3 kilometers away from the Summer Palace, it doesn’t sound that far.

The locals call Baiwang Mountain Wanger Mountain. According to legend, Yang Liulang of the Northern Song Dynasty fought a fierce battle with Liao soldiers at the foot of this mountain. Lady She climbed the mountain to watch the battle and cheer, and the mountain got its name from this.

This is the closest natural ecological forest park to the urban area of ​​Yanjing, covering an area of ​​hundreds of hectares. The Beijing-Miyun Canal passes around the mountain. The forest is dense, with a vegetation coverage rate of over 95%. The air is exceptionally fresh, with flowers in spring, leaves in autumn, trees in summer, and snow in winter. The scenery is pleasant all year round.

It is best to ride a bicycle to visit a forest park like Baiwang Mountain, after all, the place is so huge.

But Lin Weimin and his friends came here mainly to relax, and didn't intend to explore the entire park.

Walking into the park, you will feel relaxed and at ease.

"Thanks to avoiding the 11th, there are fewer people here now." Qu Xiaowei was thankful but couldn't help but complain, "I don't know where all these people came from?"

Zheng Guodao: "Do you think you made money? Who wouldn't want to eat, drink and have fun after making money?"

"I didn't say that you can't come out to play. The main thing is that you don't crowd together. If you all come out to play together, where won't it be crowded?"

"Whose time do you think is as free as yours?"

The two men were carrying the pole, and no one around them paid any attention to them. Everyone was strolling around leisurely. A few children were playing and making noises around them. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable.

The main peak of Baiwang Mountain is more than 200 meters above sea level. When everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain, several male comrades were eager to try and planned to go mountain climbing. They asked everyone's opinions. Several female comrades were not interested, so they stayed here to look after the children. They found a flat green space, spread out sheets, and prepared to have a picnic.

Baiwang Mountain is a remnant of the Taihang Mountains. Because it is the easternmost peak of the Taihang Mountains extending to the North China Plain, it is known as the "First Peak of the Taihang Outpost".

The mountain is not high and it is not difficult for everyone to climb the mountain. The only difficulty is Shi Tiesheng.

Everyone agreed to take turns carrying Shi Tiesheng up the mountain. Yu Hua carried him first, but he couldn't bear it after just two minutes. He stopped every three steps and rested every five steps.

"Can you do it?" Mo Yan asked him.

Which man could listen to this? Yu Hua immediately pushed his legs up and walked towards the top of the mountain with big strides.

Unfortunately, sometimes momentum alone cannot solve all problems.

Yu Hua walked for less than a minute and could not hold on any longer. He gave up completely and put Shi Tiesheng on a rock by the roadside.

"Tiesheng, have you been eating too much recently?"

Shi Tiesheng was speechless for a while. If it’s not possible, then it’s not possible. Why do you care how much I eat?

"Haha, Zheng Guo, how many steps did Yu Hua take just now?" Qu Xiaowei asked gloatingly.

"289 steps." Zheng Guo gave an exact number.

Yu Hua couldn't help but get angry, "You two have nothing to do, right?"

"Look, look, you're angry because of shame." Qu Xiaowei said proudly.

"Okay, come on, you carry me on your back. Let me see how many steps you can take?" Yu Hua said angrily.

"I'll carry it on my back." Qu Xiaowei came up and took over Shi Tiesheng.

Less than two minutes later, he stopped by the roadside, panting.

Yu Hua's wanton laughter was even louder than Qu Xiaowei's earlier. "That's it? That's not enough?"

Qu Xiaowei glared at Yu Hua hatefully, then reluctantly handed Shi Tiesheng over to Lin Weimin.

"You guys, you don't usually pay attention to exercise. Now you know how weak your body is, right?"

Lin Weimin carried Shi Tiesheng on his back and did not forget to mock the two of them, then walked leisurely up the mountain.

"I bet he can't make it 300 steps."

"I bet 250 steps."

"You guys underestimate Teacher Lin too much. I bet 350 steps."

Carrying Shi Tiesheng up the mountain became the greatest pleasure for this group of immature men on the road. The greater pleasure was laughing at the shortest one.

Lin Weimin didn't want to be laughed at, so he persisted in walking for nearly 10 minutes.

On the way, Shi Tiesheng looked at the sweat on his forehead and felt his trembling leg muscles, and said, "Weimin, if you can't do it, put me down."

"It's okay, I'm fine." Lin Weimin said stubbornly.

"No." Shi Tiesheng hesitated, "I'm afraid of falling."

Lin Weimin turned around and glared at him, questioning him with his eyes, what do you mean?

Shi Tiesheng felt a little guilty, "I'm just worried that you'll be too tired!"

Lin Weimin hesitated for a moment, "Well, this is what you didn't let me carry."

When he said this, he deliberately raised his voice so that everyone could hear it. Shi Tiesheng was speechless again. Can't you guys behave yourself?

Tong Zhonggui took Shi Tiesheng from Lin Weimin and walked forward with light steps.

Lin Weimin joined Qu Xiaowei and Yu Hua's camp, guessing how long Tong Zhonggui could last. Out of some dark psychology, several of them proposed a number lower than their own.

But Tong Zhonggui's strength surprised everyone. He actually carried Shi Tiesheng to the top of the mountain in one breath.

When they reached the top of the mountain, Tong Zhonggui put Shi Tiesheng aside. Yu Hua came up and touched the muscles on his thighs, and asked, "Didn't you say that you were weak and sickly since childhood?"

Tong Zhonggui said: "Yes, because I was weak and sickly, I later practiced sports!"

Yu Hua glanced at Lin Weimin and Qu Xiaowei. What an amazing sports student!

While a few people were discussing Tong Zhonggui's thigh, Mo Yan and Shi Tiesheng were silently admiring the scenery of Baiwang Mountain.

There are two good places to enjoy the scenery in Baiwang Mountain. One of them is Lanfeng Pavilion on the top of the mountain, which is where Lin Weimin and others are now.

Looking west, the peaks of Taihang Mountain are in a row, the mountains are covered in red, the forests are dyed red, and the thousands of red trees are like umbrellas of fire. Looking closer, the green pines and cypresses of Baiwang Mountain are shaded by each other, and the magical colors are dazzling, which makes people daydream.

At first glance, the land of Beijing is full of magnificent sights.
