Shaolin Temple was released at the end of January 1982. Legend has it that it grossed 150 million yuan at the box office with a ticket price of 1 cent.
According to the 1982 census, China had a population of over 900 million, and the box office revenue of 150 million meant that the average person in the country of nearly 1 billion watched a movie 1.5 times.
Wan Feng is not sure whether this data is true, but it is no exaggeration to say that the impact of the Shaolin Temple movie is overwhelming.
The greatest achievement of this movie is that it completely whitewashes the Shaolin Temple.
At that time, the weeds in the Shaolin Temple were almost as tall as a man, and there were only a few old monks who were just eating and waiting to die. There was no trace of the thousand-year-old temple.
According to a general's memoirs, the Shaolin Temple was an existence that no one had ever imagined before liberation. What it was doing at that time that caused it to be burned down seems to have become a mystery.
It was not until the movie "Shaolin Temple" was released that the Shaolin Temple was renovated and reappeared in the world.
Another contribution of the movie Shaolin Temple is that it created a Kung Fu craze across the country. In the few years after its release, a spectacular scene of everyone practicing martial arts was formed in society. If you didn't know a few tricks, you would be embarrassed to go out.
In his previous life, Wan Feng was also a follower of this trend. It was under the influence of this trend that he followed Li You to learn martial arts.
In his previous life, learning martial arts was of little use to him, and it didn't even help him strengthen his body, because he gave it up later on.
After the film was released in most large and medium-sized cities across the country, it was finally released in remote places like Wuxian.
After finding their seats, they sat down. Wan Feng sat at the outermost seat, next to him was Zhang Xuan, then Zhang Xuan's younger brother Zhang Chong and Zhang Juan.
Wan Feng distributed the melon seeds, soda and fruits he had bought, and the sound of people cracking melon seeds could be heard one after another.
The movie started, and in just a few minutes, all the noisy sounds in the cinema disappeared, leaving only the cheers coming from the movie and the exclamations and praises from the people in the cinema.
The three Zhang Xuan sisters were so captivated by the wonderful movie that they even forgot to eat the melon seeds in their hands.
Zhang Xuan was very happy to see Wan Feng next to him, but he was surprised to find that Wan Feng was leaning against the chair and sleeping with his eyes closed.
What kind of person is this? Even such a wonderful movie can’t attract him?
How could she know that Wan Feng had watched the movie Shaolin Temple many times and remembered the actions and plot clearly, so what was there to watch?
"Why don't you look at it? It's so beautiful!"
"Who said I didn't see it? Didn't you see that there was a slit in my eyes?"
Zhang Xuan didn't understand. Everyone else was staring intently with their eyes wide open, so what did he mean by leaving only a slit in his eyes?
"Your view is popular, mine is beautiful."
This view is divided into popular and beautiful, which confused Zhang Xuan.
The only bad thing about the movie Shaolin Temple is that it makes moviegoers dance and jump. When Wang Renze knocked Jueyuan down with one punch, Zhang Xuan punched the leg of Wan Feng who was sitting next to him.
This is treating him like Wang Renze.
After the movie was over, Zhang Xuan was still not satisfied, as if he hadn't seen enough.
It's okay for a girl to watch this kind of movie once, but why do you want to watch it a second time? Do you think you are Luan Feng?
When Wan Feng thought of Luan Feng, he cried out inwardly, "Oh no!"
If this woman had seen Shaolin Temple, she would have to learn martial arts and fight him...
This picture is so beautiful just thinking about it.
After the movie, Wan Feng didn't plan to go to Zhang Xuan's house. He planned to find a restaurant to have a quick meal and then go to the bus station to wait for the bus.
But Zhang Xuan and her sister dragged Wan Feng to Zhang Xuan's house.
She said that her mother had prepared the meal and it would be extremely impolite not to eat.
Wan Feng came to Zhang Xuan's home again and met Zhang Xuan's father Zhang Zhiyuan.
He is about forty years old and has a very kind attitude.
"Uncle Zhang, hello!" Wan Feng felt more and more that he was being treated as a son-in-law.
This matter must be explained to Zhang Xuan, otherwise the misunderstanding will get deeper and deeper, which will be boring.
Zhang Xuan's mother cooked six dishes. Regardless of whether they were real or fake, Zhang Xuan's father sincerely thanked Wan Feng for sending his daughter back.
Wan Feng rolled his eyes at Zhang Xuan, but Zhang Xuan smiled like a lady and said nothing.
During the meal, Wan Feng learned that Zhang Zhiyuan's unit was an office set up by the Red Farm in the county town. As for what they did specifically, Wan Feng did not ask and Zhang Zhiyuan did not say.
Seeing Zhang Zhiyuan's leisurely look, Wan Feng knew that it was a place where people just lived off the food and waited for death, and lived on a fixed salary of a few dozen yuan a month.
If Zhang Zhiyuan was in his seventies or eighties and was just idling around, that would be fine, but it seems like he's only forty and has started to do so?
"Uncle Zhang! Do you have any special skills?"
"When my father was young, he was a technical expert in the field of agricultural machinery in the red rural areas. Many innovations in agricultural machinery were completed by my father. Also, when my father was young, he had dealings with the Russians and could speak Russian." Before Zhang Zhiyuan could answer, Zhang Xuan praised his father.
The agricultural machinery expert did not arouse Wan Feng's interest. Although there were people making agricultural machinery in Wahou, they had no shortage of low-end talents in this field. However, Zhang Zhiyuan could speak Russian, which attracted Wan Feng's attention.
"Uncle Zhang, can you still speak Russian fluently now?"
Since the falling out with the Russians in the 1960s, China and the Russians have had little contact. Those who knew Russian back then gradually fell into disuse because Russian had no use anymore. Now there are not many people who can speak Russian fluently.
"No problem. I may not be able to write accurately, but I have no problem communicating orally."
"That's great! Uncle Zhang, don't throw away your Russian. It might come in handy in a couple of years."
What do you mean by "maybe it will come in handy"? It means that it will definitely come in handy. In two years, he will be able to fool those bears, but how can he do that if no one knows Russian?
Also, the bears are all drunkards, so we need to find one who can get drunk. It would be best if he could drink ten or eight kilograms like the national bartenders.
When dealing with the Russians, all you have to do is get them drunk and everything will be easy.
What Wan Feng didn't expect was that he would have to wait a few years before drinking the wine with the bears, but Zhang Zhiyuan actually fell backwards after drinking a glass of wine.
This has nothing to do with Wan Feng. He didn't force Zhang Zhiyuan to drink because he himself didn't drink so how could he force others to drink?
Wan Feng shook his head. With such a high drinking capacity, it would be dangerous for him to be a translator in the future.
It was half past twelve when they finished their meal. Wan Feng said goodbye to Zhang Xuan's mother and went to the bus station to wait for the bus.
Zhang Xuan and her brother took Wan Feng to the bus station.
"Can I come to your place when school starts and then go to school? I have never been on a passenger ship in my life!" Zhang Xuan said with a look of grievance.
"If you want to go, go ahead. It's just a little more trouble. You can take the bus to No. 42 or Sijitun and then we can go together..."
Oh no! That's not the case.
This little bitch is scheming again.
