After having fun at school for a while, Jiang Yulou decided to take the girl out for a walk.
The September evening breeze blew the girl's hair, and smelling the faint fragrance in her arms, Jiang Yulou just wanted time to be fixed at this moment forever.
After walking all the way, the feeling of fullness was relieved a lot, and the mouth was a little dry. Jiang Yulou also bought two bowls of tea on the roadside for two cents a bowl. Although it is not a good tea, it is still refreshing and thirst-quenching.
The most important thing is that it only costs 20 cents. Is there any cheaper drink than this?
As they walked, the two passed by a movie theater.
In this era, movie theaters were commonplace for Jiang Yulou, not much better than those small video halls, but for Tang Yuewen, who came from a small county town, it was extremely novel.
However, he has never seen any movies from this era.
In the previous life, open-air movies were shown in the village and county, but they were old movies. As for the newly released movies, the conditions were poor and there were no cinemas, so they couldn't watch them.
Since Tang Yuewen came to Yanjing in this life and wanted to watch it, she might as well spend some money to watch a movie.
This can be considered the first date between the two of them.
Although he didn't understand romance, he had heard of it.
No matter what era you are in, dating and watching movies will never be out of date. This era is more fashionable.
Jiang Yulou said with great interest: "Come on, let's go in and take a look. I always talk about movies and movies. It's a shame not to go see them when I have a rare opportunity."
At this time, people came in and out of the cinema from time to time. However, most people were dressed...fashionably, and Tang Yuewen was not badly dressed.
If she was in the county seat, she would definitely feel a little inferior at this time.
She was a little worried whether watching movies in the cinema would be expensive.
"Forget it, let's go back to the county and watch free outdoor movies."
"Can it be the same? I'm tired of watching those old movies, so I just want to watch the latest ones."
With that said, Jiang Yulou didn't wait for the girl to retort, took her hand and entered the cinema.
The theater is called Hongguang Cinema. I heard that this theater initially did not show movies, but plays. Later, it added movie projection equipment.
In this era, people's entertainment activities are not abundant, and watching movies has become the most fashionable entertainment activity for urban people.
From the 1950s to the 1980s in our country, movie ticket prices were actually set by the government. On average, a ticket cost about 5 cents. Of course, the monthly salary of ordinary people at that time was only a few dozen yuan, which was nearly a thousand times cheaper than today.
However, the five-cent tickets are either for a bad location or for an old movie.
Any newly released movie costs more than a nickel.
By coincidence, a new movie was released today called "Look at This Family."
There were many viewers queuing up to buy tickets in the hall, but eight out of ten wanted to see this movie.
Firstly, it’s a new movie, watch the new one but not the old one. Secondly, although the film has been released for a few days, it has not yet been screened on a large scale across the country. I heard that the official release will not be until June.
Finally, the audience has not seen a movie on this subject yet, it is fresh enough.
That's why so many people lined up to see this movie.
Speaking of which, the ticket price for this movie is really not cheap. One ticket costs 15 cents. If you want to watch old movies, you can watch three of them.
The queue at the ticket gate is already very long, but if the theater is big enough, you should still be able to buy tickets.
He also thought that if the tickets for this event were sold out by the time he arrived, that would be okay. At worst, he would have to pay more to buy scalper tickets.
Oh, there are no scalpers at this time, so that’s okay, there is always a shortage of people who want to make the difference.
That is to say, he has no money now, otherwise he would just buy scalper tickets and save time in queue.
"You rest there for a while while I wait in line to buy tickets."
Tang Yuewen glanced at the queue and said, "This queue is too long, so let's forget about it."
"It's okay, there's still time."
However, I didn't expect that when it comes to him, this event is really gone.
He glanced at the show time and estimated that the show would start in half an hour, so he no longer hesitated and said in a loud voice: "Thirty cents a ticket, two tickets are required. You need consecutive numbers. The location is good." priority."
Double the ticket collection, is there such a good thing?
Immediately, several people came forward to sell tickets.
Jiang Yulou simply picked the two tickets with the best seats and paid for them.
For two movie tickets, which originally cost 30 cents, he spent a total of 60 cents.
"Can't I buy a later show?" Tang Yuewen muttered after seeing the ticket price: "It's enough for me to eat in the school cafeteria for two weeks."
"Little money fan." Jiang Yulou couldn't laugh or cry.
But yes, when people across the country have not yet completely solved the problem of food and clothing, watching movies is indeed a luxury behavior.
I just bought double tickets, and I can’t refund them, right?
Besides, this was the first time he and the girl went on a date to watch a movie, so it would be nice to spend a little more money to leave a good memory for the two of them.
After taking the ticket, Jiang Yulou paid attention to the information on the movie ticket.
Movie tickets are rectangular in shape, red, white and black.
The background color is white, the words "Red Light Theater" are in red, but the seat numbers are in black.
"Look at This Family" was shown in the "A" theater, with seats in the middle of the sixth row.
It seemed that they arrived quite early and got a good spot. If it were later, I would probably have to sit in the back row.
These days, movie theaters are showing either war dramas shot decades ago or literary and artistic films shot in recent years. But this movie is different. It is the first comedy movie shot in China in recent years.
The movie has been released and has become a hit among people across the country.
I guess Beijing Film Studio never imagined that the movie would be so popular.
The cost of this film was only a few hundred thousand. Even in this era, it was not considered a big production, and it did not have big-name actors. It was also a comedy that was not recognized by the mainstream, and it was not a film that Beijing Film Studio focused on supporting.
But just such a movie is very popular in this era.
Why do ordinary people watch movies? It might be said that they are pursuing elegance, which is a bit ridiculous. In fact, they just want to relieve their boredom. This comedy film just meets the requirements of ordinary people.
It is said that after the movie was released, it sold tens of millions at the box office.
You know, movie tickets in this era are extremely low. Even if movie tickets in some places sell for 30 cents, the box office figures are still amazing.
Not to mention that the protagonist of this movie is still Chen Xiaoer, who will form an indissoluble bond with comedies in the future.
Before the movie was shown, the theater was not quiet, but very noisy.
And the smell is not good either. There is always a vague smell of stinky feet.
There were even people in the front row, and some people were smoking in the theater. The management was not strict these days, so Jiang Yulou could only endure it.
But fortunately, the movie shouldn't be long, so it will pass after you endure it.
