1987: Sleepless Tonight

On the ticket window, there is a wooden board, and the showing time of each movie is written in chalk.

superman.

1st blood.

Thirteen shapes of birds and animals.

Chaozhou laughing man.

The arrangement is quite full.

There are also posters for Superman and First Blood, but they are not printed, but drawn. Every movie theater has an artist who is responsible for this.

After checking the time, Lu Hao bought three Superman movie tickets.

"Do you want to find something to plug Nini's ears?" Seeing that Lu Hao bought a movie ticket for a foreign movie, Su Min said immediately, "You have to cover her eyes later."

Foreign films are not serious!

"I'm afraid you are a bit stupid." Lu Hao looked at her, "Where is this? This is a movie theater, a cultural movie theater, not a video hall. Not only is the environment much better, the ticket price is more expensive, and the movies shown here are all reviewed. , how could it be possible to play the smuggled film from the video hall, and there will not be the scenes you want to see."

"Even if there is, it has been edited and will not be broadcast. If you really want to watch it, we will go out and watch it alone when we find time.

???

What do you mean by man?

She said it as if she was hungry...

Su Min patted him again angrily, "I didn't think about it!"

After waiting for a while, the time came, and the three of them checked their tickets and entered the cinema.

There are not many movie theaters in Jiangcheng, less than 10 in the whole city. Basically, there are only one or two movie theaters in each district. There are slightly more in Jiang’an District, with three, July [-]st, Jiefang, Zhongyuan, and Qiaokou District is Cultural Cinema.

These cinemas are under the management of Jiangcheng Film Distribution and Projection Company, which is a unit directly under it. Jiangcheng Film Distribution and Projection Company is also a unit directly under the Jiangcheng Cultural Bureau, but it accepts the macro guidance of the Provincial Film Distribution and Projection Company in terms of business.

Simply put, it is actually block management.

The province is in the city, so the film distribution and projection companies in Jiangcheng City must accept the guidance of the upper level, that is, the provincial distribution and projection companies, and horizontally, they must accept the leadership of the Municipal Cultural Bureau.

That is, business and personnel are managed separately.

Business is under the guidance of professional units, while personnel and other aspects are under the leadership of relevant departments.

Personnel power and administrative power check each other, and while professional personnel manage professional affairs, they can also form power constraints.

"This cinema is so big." Su Min said.

Seeing her look like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, Lu Hao felt a little distressed, and held her hand tightly, "There are only a few regular movie theaters in Jiangcheng, and movies have made more money in recent years, so we will definitely spend some time on the decoration. .”

Different from the video halls, many video halls are privately vacated their own rooms, or rent a room, put a TV set, put a VCR, put a few benches, get some video tapes, and then you can play movies for a fee.

It's flexible and doesn't cost much.

The movie theaters in Jiangcheng have undergone several rounds of renovations. For example, the cultural movie theater in Qiaokou District was remodeled and expanded a few years ago, costing 70 yuan.

The area is large and the equipment is relatively advanced.

Movie theaters in other districts even borrowed money to expand movie theaters, and some movie theaters even have air-conditioning equipment.

Don't look at a movie ticket that costs only a few cents, but if the quantity is large, the total profit will be very considerable.

There are also cultural management stations in every township, which operate township movie theaters or open-air screening spots, and projection teams go to various villages to tour the screenings.

For children in rural areas, the expectation of open-air movies is comparable to that of Chinese New Year. Many villages only have a few TV sets, or even one, and they are black and white. Opportunities to watch TV and movies are rare.

Every once in a while, the school organizes to watch open-air movies, and the same is true in the village, where projection teams are invited to play movies.

On the surface, the money was confiscated, but in fact, the money had already been collected from the school and the village committee.

Wool comes from sheep.

Movies began to be screened. Foreign films, again with heroic themes, were very popular.

Lu Hao's mind was not on the movie screen. Compared with the picture quality smuggled from private video halls, this kind of picture quality is already very good, but in his opinion it is still a bit low.

And the movie is a bit old.

Both Su Min and Nini were fascinated by watching it. Even if they couldn't understand the content, it was more interesting than poking ants.

He turned his head and looked at Su Min next to him. His woman was looking at the movie screen seriously, her face full of joy.

The tranquility of a girl, coupled with the charm of a woman.

Two completely different postures condensed on her body.

Like ice and fire, it is hard to extricate yourself.

"What are you looking at?" Sensing his gaze, Su Min turned her head and asked softly.

"Look at my wife." Lu Hao said with a smile.

Su Min seemed to be aware of the change in his mentality, so she put her hand on his hand and clenched it tightly.

It didn't let go until the end of the movie.

After watching the movie, the family of three went home.

The Sanyo air conditioner has finally arrived.

4 units together, followed by debuggers.

Lu Hao went to the vegetable market, and he was watching from the side during the debugging. One set cost more than 2 yuan, and four sets cost more than 4 yuan.

Sanyo's brand is very loud, and the price is also expensive. There were no accidents during such a long transportation. 4 air conditioners passed the test once.

The workmanship, materials, and quality all have nothing to say.

The foreman sighed, "Boss Lu, you are really rich. You actually bought four Sanyo air conditioners. There is no unit in Jiangcheng that can do this."

One Sanyo air conditioner costs more than 2 yuan, and 4 units cost 8 yuan. Those state-owned shopping malls don’t have the same courage. Only Jiangcheng shopping mall is built and operated as a benchmark mall in Jiangcheng. There is a central air conditioner.

But it was a state-run unit with strong backing, but Lu Hao was a private unit. Compared with private units, he could be regarded as the number one in Jiangcheng.

"In business, you need to spend money where you should spend it, and you can't save it." Lu Hao said.

In a small city, there is no need to spend so much effort on decoration, as long as the price and quality are good, but Jiangcheng is different. There are already many shopping malls and department stores in Jiangcheng.

Each area is not small, and the backing is not weak. If private units want to break through, gain a firm foothold, or even come from behind, climb one after another mountain peaks and occupy high ground, they must spend some effort.

Sanyo air-conditioning, six 6-ton trucks, and Santana can be used on the opening day, and they can come up with some tricks to enhance the reputation of their soon-to-open department store.

"With such a large area, four air conditioners may not be enough." Zhang Zhigang is also there today.

He was tanned a lot and haggard, but he looked more capable.

With an area of ​​2000 square meters and the size of 5 basketball courts, even though we bought a 7100-calorie cabinet-type air conditioner, the air-conditioning still cannot cover the whole venue.

Most buildings in the south are not equipped with insulation, and the air-conditioning runs faster.

"Who said that all places must be air-conditioned?" Lu Hao said.

???

Zhang Zhigang was a little confused, "Brother Hao, didn't you say that in business, you need to serve customers well when opening a supermarket?"

"It's true to serve customers well, but you also have to make money, right?" Lu Hao has long been hesitant, "Put an air conditioner next to the cash register, one at the entrance, one in the bedding area, and one in the fresh food supermarket." ,This is enough."

If you don't have enough sets, don't you know how to wash and wash them backwards?
