Era: Beginning from the Modu Translation Studio

Chapter 449 This scene happened 40 years earlier

In early November 1980, a train on the Beijing-Shanghai line slowly pulled into Pujiang Railway Station.

Looking at the people coming and going outside the window, Huang Yongyu on the train was reminded of the messy appearance of Yanjing Railway Station.

Just a few days before they set off, Yanjing Railway Station suffered a catastrophe.

Even though several days had passed since they saw it.

But the shocking scene left at the station still made them feel uneasy.

On October 1980, 10, a bomb was set off at the Yanjing Railway Station.

Several people were injured or killed at once.

When this incident happened, people all over the country were shocked.

In the next few days, any noise made anywhere would still scare away a large number of people.

The detailed cause of the accident has not yet been found out.

Each newspaper can only reprint an article based on the report in the People's Daily.

"Uncle Yongyu,"

Not long after the train came to a stop, Huang Yongyu heard a familiar voice: "Look this way."

"Xiaojiang,"

Huang Yongyu looked over there and said, "Hey, Fatty and Xiaoyuer are here too."

"Hello, Grandpa Huang~"

On the platform, the three uncles and nephews were smiling like a pot of flowers.

就在这时，1、2、3、4、5，车窗旁冒出了五张笑脸。

Although they all have wrinkles on their faces, they look more cheerful than the other.

"Xiaojiang,"

"Little fish,"

"country,"

"fatty,"

“Here we go again…”

Jiangshan, Xiaoyu and Xiaobai looked at the five old comrades lying in the car window and laughed even happier than each other.

"Come on, give me all the luggage..."

Comrade Jiangshan, who was not willing to work hard, even brought a cart from the newspaper printing factory before coming to the railway station.

As it turns out, the five old comrades really didn't bring much stuff with them when they went out.

But I did bring him some valuable stuff.

"Did you hear that sound?" Huang Yongyu knocked on a table for Wang Shixiang.

"A table made of huanghuali wood?"

Jiang Shan saw it and asked: "Why did you carry it all the way here?"

"It's not outside,"

Wang Shixiang took the initiative and carefully placed the cart on the table: "This is called a piano table, you can also call it a piano stand."

"Oh~" Jiang Shan smiled and touched Jiang Xiaoyu's little head, knowing who this thing was directed at.

"In the past, this was an indispensable item in the study room,"

Wang Shixiang looked at the piano table with a sense of accomplishment: "How is it? Doesn't it look good?"

Jiang Shan looked him up and down and asked: "Did you find it for him?"

"Three shoulders touching, four sides level,"

Zhu Jiahui knocked on the table with his hand and said, "Simple and straightforward. Your uncle Shixiang has good taste."

"That's definitely the right thing to do,"

Jiang Shan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, uncles!"

People coming and going on the platform would not even glance at these people when they passed by.

"country,"

Only one comrade waved at them and said, "You guys are also taking this bus. What a coincidence!"

At this moment, Huang Yongyu, who was already holding Jiang Xiaobai, looked back and his eyes immediately widened: "Oh, isn't that that guy?"

"Hey,"

Zhu Jiahui turned around and was also surprised: "It really is that guy!"

At this moment, including Wang Shixiang, Qi Gong and Xu Bangda, all looked in the same direction in surprise.

Not far away, two or three carriages away.

Comrade Zhang Lu from Pujiang TV Station was accompanying Ma Sanli, Hou Baolin, Hou Yaowen, Shi Fukuan...

A group of crosstalk performers walked towards them according to seniority.

Although these people waited until all the passengers got off the bus before getting up.

But the crowd on the platform still surrounded them.

In this era, in the eyes of the public, crosstalk performers are far more popular than moviemakers.

After finally escaping the train station by supporting each other, several crosstalk masters quickly got into the TV station's large van.

At the same time, Jiangshan's van was ready to depart.

"country,"

When passing by Delica, Zhang Lu stuck his head out and greeted Jiang Shan:

"We're leaving first. Call me if you need anything."

"OK, no problem!"

In the van on Jiangshan's side, all the old comrades looked at the comedian in the opposite car with joy.

After the two sides waved politely, they drove away in different directions.

"Did you bring them all here?"

Huang Yongyu pointed out the window with a beaming expression: "No wonder you said you can't have enough crosstalk!"

Although he hadn't heard a single line of crosstalk yet, Zhu Jiahui was already getting excited.

"Luckily we came along this time," he said with a smile while looking at Qi Gong and Xu Bangda, "otherwise we would have missed another good show."

Qi Gong, who was holding Xiao Bai, smiled even more:
"I've said it before, it doesn't matter if it's someone else's game, but I must participate as long as it's Xiao Jiang's game."

Xu Bangda, who was sitting nearby, recalled the past at this moment: "I can't miss it again no matter what."

……

After meeting again for a long time, Jiangshan was in a good mood.

He stepped on the accelerator and took the five old comrades directly to the newspaper's guesthouse.

"Oh, I didn't see that."

After getting off the car, Huang Yongyu looked up at the door of the guesthouse and said, "Your newspaper office actually has a guesthouse."

"Looks good, doesn't it?"

Jiang Shan, who was carrying his luggage, raised his head with him and said, "This guesthouse is specially prepared for you."

"Prepared specifically for us?" Huang Yongyu laughed. "Who would believe that?"

"That's right," Wang Shixiang also laughed, "How can we be so impressive?"

"If you don't believe me, go in and ask around."

Jiang Shan stepped onto the stairs and said, "A week ago, the door of this guesthouse was still closed."

"It looks quite new,"

Qi Gong really believed it: "Maybe the door was really opened for us."

"Um,"

Zhu Jiahui looked at the brand new door and followed him in: "Xiao Jiang, which room should I stay in?"

Huang Yongyu, who was looking up, followed in as soon as he heard this: "Xiao Jiang, I want a room with a balcony..."

……

It happened only a few days apart.

Pan Hong, Liu Xiaoqing, Zhu Lin, Zhang Yu, Tang Guoqiang, Chen Peisi and 12 other comrades successively received a remittance notice from Oriental Metropolis Daily.

In addition, there was a brown paper package.

After looking at the 50-yuan remittance slip in her hand with joy, Zhu Lin quickly opened the package on the table.

After opening it, I saw that in addition to a thick calendar, there was also a small gift box.

“Oh, this is…?”

In an earlier phone call, Oriental Metropolis Daily had already informed Zhu Lin about the publication of the calendar.

According to the promise made on the phone, the newspaper will pay her a fee equivalent to one month's salary.

But this small box that would appear was not mentioned on the phone.

"what is this?"

In the dormitory of Yanjing Film Academy, Li Qinqin from the same class came over curiously and said, "Open it and see what it is..."

At the same time, on the other side, Chen Peisi also returned home with a package.

I quickly opened it and took a look.

"Hey, this little thing is interesting!"

It turned out that Comrade Jiang Shan, who was far away in Pujiang, sent a McDonald's French fry lamp to each of the 12 actors who participated in the calendar.

Although the gadgets are not valuable, they are still very fashionable in this era.

……

Late autumn, 1980.

A heavy rain soaked the entire city of Tokyo.

BMW, which has been ordered to fully enter the Japanese market next year, is preparing for further offensive.

In the past few days, BMW executives flew to Tokyo to inspect the progress of the work.

Not long after I checked into the hotel, I was mesmerized by several commercials on TV.

[I wonder how, I wonder why;
Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky;
And all that I can see;
Is just a yellow lemon tree
...]

To the cheerful English song "Lemon Tree", the adults on TV were dancing to their own trumpets in the mirror.

"What song is this?"

"I don't know. I've never heard of it before."

"sounds amazing!"

Halfway through the commercial, several BMW executives were attracted by the song on TV.

"Look, this is actually an advertisement."

"Laoshan mineral water?"

It was not until the end that they realized it was just an advertisement.

"Japanese advertisements are really creative."

"You didn't see clearly just now, did you? That bottle of water is from China."

Just as we finished discussing this, another advertisement popped up on TV.

The brand played this time is McDonald's, which they are all familiar with.

But the advertisement is a departure from the usual grilling, frying and boiling styles.

At the beginning, there are teams of lively and cute cartoon characters.

Look at these realistic-looking cartoon characters, paying and picking up their orders at the McDonald's window just like them.

Several BMW executives in the guest room were amused by this unique sight.

“Why is this ad different from the one in our country?”

"I heard that McDonald's is actually a fast food restaurant that you can franchise."

“That means the bosses are different in every country.”

"I see."

Although I knew before coming here that life in Tokyo was no worse than theirs.

But they really thought: "I didn't expect that Japanese ads are so attractive."

"We are also going to advertise next."

"I'll ask the locals in the branch later to find out which company produced these ads?"

"This is a good idea, the local car dealers in Japan are quite powerful.

If we, BMW, want to successfully enter the Japanese market, we must first find a very strong advertising company.”

After all, the principle that “business depends on shouting” applies worldwide.

As he was talking, a Toyota car advertisement popped up on the TV in front of him...

……

Just as the BMW team was watching the commercial in front of the TV.

More than a dozen buses in Tokyo city were already in a state of excitement.

Ever since Laoshan mineral water landed on the Japanese market, it has popped up every few days to show its presence.

At the same time as the two advertisements "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "Nature's Porter" were launched,

Straw billboards, subway entrance advertisements, bus advertisements... they never stop.

After a period of time, the famous Laoshan mineral water quickly occupied a considerable share of the Japanese drinking water market.

Apart from anything else, that Chinese-style glass bottle will be enough to be a treasure for the local people for a while.

And today, Laoshan mineral water gave the passengers on the bus a surprise they had never seen before.

The sudden drop in temperature caused every car on the road to be more or less covered in a layer of mist.

The winter wind of Laoshan mineral water has finally arrived.

"Look quickly,"

A middle school student who had just boarded the bus suddenly pointed at a window and shouted, "What is that?"

Several female classmates standing next to her looked in the direction of her finger.

On the misty glass window, a few lines of Japanese advertising text appeared.

[The weather is getting colder, Laoshan Mineral Water reminds you: put on more clothes when you go out. ]

"Look, there's also one on the window at the back..."

After looking at this door, he looked at that door.

[It's raining, Laoshan Mineral Water reminds all passengers to go home and collect your clothes. ]

"It's Laoshan mineral water again."

“This is really fun.”

“Who painted them?”

"It hadn't appeared when I first got on the bus."

"Obviously, these are all advertisements for Laoshan mineral water..."

Just as several female middle school students were dancing with joy as if they had discovered a treasure,
The same scenario was happening on several other buses.

Looking at the car window that was empty a second ago, its true shape slowly appeared.

The passengers in the car were all shocked by the wonderful scene before their eyes...

Several reporters who happened to be in the car quickly took pictures of this scene.

……

Just like in the previous life, even though I have read countless advertisements.

But when people saw the advertisement quietly appearing on the bus window, they still exclaimed in amazement.

This simple scene can actually make the passengers who see it happy for several days in a row.

Now, Jiangshan has brought this scene forward 40 years for the sake of Laoshan mineral water.

Whenever the temperature drops, water vapor condenses on the glass windows and scratches them a few times.

It’s up to you to write or draw, just for fun.

In 2021, Japan's TV Asahi cleverly utilized this physical phenomenon.

Something called "anti-condensation" was applied in advance on six buses in Tokyo.

【"Weathering with You" Asahi series broadcast. 】

The purpose is to advertise the upcoming "Weathering with You".

To this end, Yu Sigui's team followed the guidance of the weather forecast during the rehearsal of "Super Change".

The day before the temperature dropped significantly, I boarded the bus and did some tinkering.

At this moment, the bus driver driving in front was admiring this scene in the rearview mirror.

Maybe because of the rain, there are quite a lot of passengers on the bus today.

It comes to mind that ever since the car I was responsible for was painted with the advertisement of "Laoshan Mineral Water".

It seems that many passengers come here specifically for this bus.

Whether it’s the little story behind the seat or the mineral water “bottle” on the armrest…

Each small advertisement has become the characteristic of this car.

Now with the addition of a window feature, I guess this car will be fun to play with this winter.

……

The "anti-condensation" product has been mass-produced since the 60s.

In the 70s, anti-condensation exterior wall paints also appeared.

Compared with Europe, Japan's formula in this regard is 10% stronger.

Especially in the military field, the varieties are complete and numerous.

Coincidentally.

Just when Pujiang’s "Spring Festival Gala" was about to start filming.

Several staff members of the Sixth Ministry of Machine Building also went to the Kailin Paint Factory in Pujiang to apply external insulating paint to warships.
