Era: Beginning from the Modu Translation Studio

Chapter 26 Drawing Movie Tickets
Jiang Shan, who has been working at the Modu Dubbing Studio for almost a week, already has a basic understanding of the process of dubbing a film.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Shan followed Team Leader Lu out of the meeting room, and their translation team had completed two rounds of translation work for "Garrison Expendables".

At the meeting just now, the director of the factory, Hu Xiao, had already taken the lead in forming the dubbing team for "Garrison Expendables", in which the dubbing director Yang Bai followed and translated Jiang Shan.

As soon as he entered the office, Team Leader Lu said to Jiang Shan, "Xiao Jiang, come to my place."

Jiang Shan followed immediately: "What instructions? Leader."

"What instruction can I have, not your instruction last time,"

Lu Yi opened the desk drawer and took out an envelope: "Tomorrow you will join the group to follow up the recording, take time to watch a movie."

The world was already bright, so he quickly took the envelope and saw that it was indeed a movie ticket, and immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll get off work right away."

Team leader Lu did not forget to tell: "Do well tomorrow."

"Don't worry," Jiang Shan was about to turn around, when he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Team Leader Lu, is the release schedule for "Manhunt" and "Looking Home" released?"

"It's coming out early, and it will be officially screened this Sunday. By then, movie tickets will be indispensable."

"Just waiting for your words."

These two Japanese films, which were completed overtime by the Modu Translation Studio, were finally released in time for the "China-Japan Friendship Bridge Film Exhibition".

The shock brought by these two films to 1978 was first reflected in the way the masses dressed.

"It's coming out this Sunday, which is great."

Jiang Shan was having fun while walking, and when he left the factory gate, he opened the envelope and saw that Lu Yi gave him ten movie tickets all at once: "It's still Team Leader Lu who is kind!"

Before Jiang Shan's exclamation fell to the ground, he saw Director Hu's [-]-year-old bar stopped beside him: "Who are you talking about being kind?"

"You!"

Jiang Shan's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "Who else is there besides you?"

"It's more or less the same." After finishing speaking, Director Hu stepped on the [-]th bar again: "Go to the TV station with me the day after tomorrow."

"to make."

After that, Jiang Shan walked very slowly all the way home, thinking about the public service advertisement all the way, and walked into the courtyard without knowing it.

Looking up, I saw my neighbor Li Ruocheng sitting in front of the window translating the manuscript.

Recently, I don't know what book the old man is translating, and I haven't seen him come to rest in the courtyard a few times.

"Uncle Li,"

Standing under the eaves, Jiang Shan handed in two movie tickets through the window: "Walter Defends Sarajevo."

Li Ruocheng took it and took a look: "Movie?"

"Yes, Yugoslavia is much better than Albania."

Li Ruocheng smiled, and felt in his heart that the youngest of the Jiang family was really kind and repaying: "It seems that the work of this translation studio is not in vain, how is your bone spirit painting?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Jiang Shan was overjoyed: "It's almost done, and the manuscript can be delivered tomorrow."

"So fast, you boy is really a diligent person."

"I learned this from you." When Jiang Shan was about to leave, he turned around and reminded: "Don't waste it, take Aunt Li with you."

"I need you to remind me," Li Ruocheng glared at him, "If I don't take her, why don't I take you?"

……

At the Jiang family's dining table, the whole family was happily looking at the movie tickets in their hands.

The second brother, Jiang He, hadn't watched a movie for a long time, and it was rare for him to smile this time: "Okay, third, you're doing well."

"Three children," Jiang Ma smiled the most. "This is so hot, Mom won't go to see it, and exchange it for two cloth tickets."

"Success," Jiang Shan felt that doing this made Jiang's mother happier: "You have the final say, but the next movie must be watched, it's so good."

"Okay, listen to my youngest son, I must go to the next movie."

"Thank you, brother," Jiang Chuan asked for two movie tickets at once, his eyes widened as he smiled, "Not many students in our class have seen this movie."

Jiang's father held the movie ticket in his hand, and gave his daughter a white look: "Why do you want two tickets for each person, I didn't hear your mother say that you can exchange for meat tickets?"

Jiang Chuan hurriedly put his hands behind his back: "Every time my classmates invite me to watch, this time I also want to invite her to watch."

"Look, let's see, as long as my little brother works in the dubbing studio for a day, the movie ticket is nothing at all."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Shan walked into the back room.

In 1978, there was very little entertainment.

Not to mention that there are only more than 100 million TVs in the country with a population of one billion. Even if there are, the content that can be watched on TV is pitifully small.

In addition to radio, newspapers, and magazines, movies have undoubtedly become the favorite entertainment program for the masses.

In that era, there were many people who watched a movie three or four times.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t afford movie tickets. When movies are distributed from first-tier theaters to second-tier movie theaters, the price of movie tickets will also be discounted in half.

After dinner, when the drawing perfectly reproduced the back view of the quartet, the last picture of "Three Dozens of Bone Demons" was finally completed.

36 pages, 72 sketches, the work that was supposed to be completed in five or six days, took almost two weeks to draw.

Jiang Shan looked at the drawings page by page, and couldn't help laughing when he thought that these drawings would be turned into a book in a short time.

"Third uncle, is the villain's calligraphy and painting ready?" Jiang Xiaobai lay on Jiang Shan's lap, raised his head and asked, "Show me."

"Go," Jiang Shan didn't dare to hand over the drawing to the little guy: "Call your sister, and third uncle will tell you a story."

"Oh~"

Jiang Shan arranged the drawings by page number and showed them to the two children next to him page by page.

"The man on the horse is their master, the fat man leading the horse is Zhu Bajie, and the monkey at the front is Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven..."

Jiang Shan spoke vividly and danced, but he didn't notice the expressions of the two children after seeing the Bone Demon.

Jiang He, who was lying on the lower bunk practicing painting, also stopped his brush, seeing his younger brother's excited appearance, as if he also saw himself in the future.

Turn around quickly and continue painting.

Not long after the story was told, Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Xiaobai ran out of the hut with sad faces.

Jiang Shan hurriedly shouted: "What's the matter? It's not finished yet."

Jiang He couldn't help laughing and kicked his younger brother: "Why are you talking so thinly? They are only young. Be careful that Xiaobai wets the bed at night."

Jiang Shan also smiled: "Second brother, when you have nothing to do, you can come to the factory to find me. There are more movies in the factory than outside."

Jiang He picked up the movie ticket written in black and white, and looked at it carefully: "If you ask me, I can draw this thing."

"Show it to me," Jiang Shan didn't expect the second elder brother, who has always been silent, to think of this: "Don't tell me, you can really draw."

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, and the next second they took out the drawing paper and began to copy the movie ticket.

……

The eldest brother didn't go home for dinner at night, and Jiang Shan, who was on the night shift, passed by the office building of Pujiang Daily, he looked up deliberately.

Sure enough, the lights in Big Brother's office were still on.
