Era: Beginning from the Modu Translation Studio

Chapter 408 Jiang Shan's left and right

Pujiang City, Wukang Building, Huaihai Middle Road.

The Wukang Building, located at the corner of two streets, looks like a giant cruise ship and was originally called the Normandy Apartments.

At 10 am on Sunday, Hu Xiao and Gu Zhengzheng walked into the Wukang Building side by side.

"So Sun Daolin lives here. I pass by this building almost every day."

Gu Zhengzheng, who came here for the first time, was surprised to see the pointer-style floor indicator lights on the top of the old-fashioned elevator: "What a clever trick! There is actually an elevator."

"This house was built a long time ago," Hu Xiao looked up and waited for the elevator:
"It has been around since the 20s. I heard from Lao Sun that it was designed by a Hungarian designer."

"Zhao Dan, Qin Yi, Xie Jin..." Hu Xiao counted on his fingers one by one: "They all lived in this building."

Gu Zhengzheng nodded: "I remember that Ba Jin's family lives across the street, right?"

"Yes."

After a few knocks on the door, the owner of the house came.

"Old Hu?"

Sun Daolin, who was one year away from 60, smiled as soon as he saw the visitor: "How come you have time to come to my place today?"

"If you weren't so busy I would have come over to play with you."

Hu Xiao was also very happy to see his old friends whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Many years ago, Sun Daolin starred in films such as "Crossing the River Reconnaissance" and "The Eternal Wave".

He is still working at Shanghai Film Translation Studio and has dubbed many films including "The Revenge of the Prince" and "The Count of Monte Cristo".

At that time, he and the old factory director Hu Xiao were still very young.

"Let me introduce you to it,"

Hu Xiao: "This is Gu Zhengzheng, the director of Pujiang TV Station."

"I think we have met before," Sun Daolin and Gu Zhengzheng shook hands with a smile.

Gu Zhengzheng was also laughing: "Indeed, I have met him before, but this is the first time we have met like this."

After reminiscing about the past, Hu Xiao officially got to the point: "Brother Dao Lin, what are you busy with recently?"

"After finishing the filming of Li Siguang last year, I haven't taken on any more assignments,"

Sun Daolin sensed the other party's intention: "Why, do you have any tasks you want to assign to me?"

"I really want to ask you for a favor,"

Hu Xiao smiled and looked at Gu Zhengzheng: "After so many years, Brother Dao Lin, are you interested in sending another telegram?"

……

Pujiang No. 1 Department Store on Nanjing East Road.

After a fashion show, the "Chunfengdu" clothing counters located not far from both sides of the T-stage were surrounded by enthusiastic lesbians.

"Comrade, is this the skirt Pan Hong was wearing just now?"

"Where is the suit Liu Xiaoqing is wearing?"

"Give me one of Pan Hong's dresses, too."

"Hey, what's wrong with you? This was clearly taken for me by the salesperson."

"Give me the shirt with small flowers on a white background that Gong Xue is wearing, and a shirt with a chest measurement of 3 feet 3 inches."

"Don't crowd."

"Don't squeeze in the back..."

……

Not far away, Jiang Shan and Xu Muchun from the Light Industry Bureau were still watching.

Jiang Shan tried to hide his smile: "Look, someone paid."

"I saw it,"

Thinking of Jiangshan's insistence on setting up two counters, Xu Muchun couldn't help but glance at him from the side:
"You had expected this result a long time ago."

"no,"

Jiangshan shook the palm-leaf fan in his hand, almost shaking his head:

"To be honest with you, Director Xu, I expected the female comrades' reaction to be even more enthusiastic."

"Isn't this enough?"

Xu Muchun raised his hand and pointed at the sky: "If you don't know, you might think they are fighting over the food!"

"Please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiangshan left, fanning himself.

……

In a prefabricated house connected to the T-stage, Jiangshan knocked on the door and walked in.

"Wow," Jiang Shan discovered as he entered the room, "It's so hot in here!"

"You just know it,"

Liu Xiaoqing was also waving a fan: "Fortunately, Xiao Ding is smart and borrowed several fans for us." At this moment, Ding Lingling, Jiang Chuan, and Ying Ruhua, who were busy passing cold water and opening Coke back and forth, were moving flexibly among the actors.

"The comrades just performed well,"

Jiang Shan praised: "We have brought out the level we practiced every day."

No matter whether the girls had fans in their hands or not, the whole mountain was fanned by wind.

“The second show is about to start in a few minutes, so let’s go this way this time.

I still say the same thing, there is no need to deliberately imitate the professional catwalk in the video.

With your level of skills, going abroad will usher in a new era."

As Jiang Shan spoke, he fanned Gong Xue and Pan Hong on his left and right:
"Now, I need you to bring this spring breeze to the masses.

Let the masses realize that spring has come and a new era has arrived.

Why did we grit our teeth and endure those difficult days in the past?
Isn't it just for the sake of living a lively and beautiful life in the future? "

As the girls' eyes gradually brightened, Jiangshan glanced at their clothes.

"Today, you are the most beautiful people in this city.

When you walk out of this room, you will be the brightest focus of the whole audience.

No matter who you are, you are all the best actresses today.

Go ahead, comrades, use your beautiful footsteps to tell the masses that a brand new era has arrived! "

……

Young friends, let's meet today, rowing a boat, and the warm wind blowing gently...

When the singing on the booth sounded again, 20 actresses, who were in high spirits, walked out in sunny and high-spirited steps.

This time, they no longer dodged or were nervous, and everyone walked out into the bright and beautiful spring of their own.

There are obviously more customers in the department store at this moment than before.

At this time, both first-time and second-time customers were crowded in several layers on both sides of the stage.

As I was looking forward to it, I saw a group of lesbians in fashionable clothes, walking in a line and singing on the path in the middle.

"Ah, look!"

“They are dressed so beautifully!”

"Look, isn't that Liu Xiaoqing?"

"Yeah, really."

"Isn't the one wearing the purple skirt Pan Hong?"

"It's Pan Hong, Pan Hong——"

“Much younger than in the movies.”

"Old Spirit!"

"Xiaohua, Xiaohua..."

"Great! I actually met Liu Xiaoqing and Pan Hong today."

"Look, isn't that Gong Xue in the flowered shirt?"

"I don't know, but I really like the clothes they are wearing."

"I like Pan Hong's dress."

"Where did they buy the clothes they were wearing?"

"Look, it's written on the table."

"Spring Breeze!"

At this moment, whether on the stage or in the audience, everyone was filled with joy...

……

On Nanjing Road in Pujiang City, four department stores opened simultaneously.

Although you can’t see the live fashion shows of the performance teams in other shopping malls, there are life-size fashion display boards next to each CFLD counter.

The portraits on the display boards are not real photos of the actresses.

But the cartoon-style portraits allow anyone to tell who they are at a glance.

In addition to this, a group photo of several actresses in their best attire posted on the pillar next to the counter is also shining like a conspicuous bag.

After the second performance, the fashion show, which was the first of its kind in Pujiang City and even in China, came to a temporary end.

However, the enthusiasm of the female customers in the mall continues.

Faintly, there are signs of thriving growth.

When Jiang Shan led a group of girls out of the mall, four or five temporary salesmen were running to the "Chunfengdu" counter in a hurry...

……

Pujiang Garment Factory No. 2, big canteen.

Jiang Xiangnan, holding a lunch box, had just sat down for a while when three or four workshop directors came over with lunch boxes.

"Have you heard, Lao Jiang?"

Jiang Xiangnan: "What did you hear?"

"There's a small meeting going on at the factory."

"I don't think it's a big deal," Jiang Xiangnan continued to eat, "I knew about it yesterday."

"Then do you know what the topic of their meeting today is?" The person who spoke was Lao Miao, a workshop director who looked older than Lao Jiang.

"I haven't asked about it," Jiang Xiangnan said, "How come you know?"

Lao Miao: "They said it was to commend Section Chief Jia from the Design Department."

"Jia Xiaotian?"

Jiang Xiangnan had not forgotten that his grandson did not allow his workshop to participate in the production of new clothing last year: "Praise him? What is there to praise about him?"

"They have made such great achievements, so of course they should be praised," said Lao Miao.
"That Xiao Jia designed several new styles for the factory last year. Judging from the beginning of this year, the clothes he designed are still very popular in the market."

"I don't think it's very good,"

Jiang Xiangnan pursed his lips and shook his head, thinking that Lao Bao's position as section chief was taken away by this kid: "The clothes in our fourth workshop are still better-looking."

"Your workshop?" Lao Miao: "The batch that Lao Bao helped you design?"

"Jointly designed," Jiang Xiangnan reiterated, "jointly designed with my third son."

Lao Miao: "The style is OK, but what's the point if it can't be sold?"

"That's right. It's been such a long time and they are still piled up in the warehouse."

"The piles are getting bigger and bigger. I remember that the clothes in your workshop 4 were made together with the designer Xiao Jia."

"They've already started working over there, but why is there still no movement in your workshop?"

"If I were you, I would have died of anxiety."

Looking at the lively atmosphere around him, Jiang Xiangnan couldn't even get a word in.

With a clang, Jiang Xiangnan closed the lunch box:

“You know nothing. Stay out of our workshop. Even if the pile is piled high, it won’t reduce the factory’s processing fee.

You know, the bonuses of more than 20 employees in our fourth workshop are all supported by this batch of orders. "

……

Conference room of Garment Factory No. 2.

"Since our factory's new clothing products were launched on the market on New Year's Day this year, we have sold a total of 195 new tops, 158 bottoms and 202 dresses in the past six months.

The reason why our factory has achieved a good start in clothing innovation is inseparable from the efforts of the design section chief Jia Xiaotian. Although Comrade Jia Xiaotian is young, he has achieved many major achievements in creative design.

Whether it is the bell-bottom pants from two years ago or the new clothing this year, they are all excellent.

Other comrades in our design department, especially some veteran comrades, should study hard like Comrade Xiao Jia..."

After a round of applause, Jia Xiaotian, the head of the design department, spread out a speech manuscript.

Old Bao, who was in the same meeting room, touched his stomach helplessly.

Jia Xiaotian: "Thanks to all the leaders for their encouragement. The clothes I designed are so popular in the market..."

"Director Ma, this is incredible~"

Suddenly, a man ran in in a hurry.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyao?"

Sitting in the C position, Director Ma frowned and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"The women in our city have lined up in long queues in the shopping malls to buy clothes from our factory."

Director Ma stood up and asked, "What?"

Jia Xiaotian's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"It's none of your business,"

The man who just entered the room pushed away Jia Xiaotian who was holding him:

"Director Ma, my office phone is about to explode with calls from all the major shopping malls, all of them are calling for goods."

"Xiao Yao, come here"

Director Ma quickly pulled the man over and said, "Tell me what's going on."

At this moment, Old Bao, who was sitting next to him, seemed to have guessed something, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unlikely.

"A few days ago, we had a backlog of clothing in the fourth workshop of our factory, and we just set up counters in three shopping malls on Nanjing Road to sell it."

Xiao Yao introduced: "Today is the official sales day, but guess what?"

Director Ma: "What are you doing?"

"There are only a few of the more than 1000 pieces of clothing left in the three shopping malls,"

Xiao Yao grabbed the factory director's arm and said, "Just now on the phone, the managers of these shopping malls were all eager to get the goods, but after I hung up on them, guess what happened?"

"What did you do again?"

"Yongan, Liubai, and Qibai have also called to place orders," Xiao Yao said to Director Ma anxiously, "I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go to Workshop 4 to transfer the goods."

"Okay, then get busy."

Looking at Xiao Yao's hurriedly leaving back, several comrades in the conference room were still confused.

“More than 1000 pieces sold in just one morning?”

"I am God."

"It's enough for our factory's new product orders in half a year."

"How is this possible?" Jia Xiaotian said, "This is absolutely impossible."

"Workshop 4?" Director Ma thought for a moment and asked, "Is this the workshop Jiang Xiangnan is in charge of?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room slowly turned their eyes to Old Bao.

At this moment, Old Bao, who had recovered from his shock, suddenly laughed: "This Jiang Lao San, he really has something!"

……

A few days later, Jiangshan drove his van to Pujiang Dance Theater as usual.

"Stop, stop, stop,"

Suddenly, Chen Peisi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, patted Jiangshan and shouted to stop.

Jiang Shan quickly put his foot on the brake: "What's wrong?"

"Look, is that girl in front Li Lingyu?"

"Hey, it's true."

A girl in a dress with small floral patterns was walking alone under a sycamore tree on the roadside.

"Comrade Xiao Li," Chen Peisi rolled down the window, "Where are you going?"

The 17-year-old Li Lingyu stopped, turned around and saw that it was the two of them, then ran over immediately.

"What a coincidence, Director Jiang,"

Li Lingyu flashed her bright eyes and said with a smile: "I'm going to the dance theater, what about you?"

"Get in the car,"

Chen Peisi reached out and opened the car door for the other party: "We also want to go there."

"okay!"

"Where have you been so early in the morning?" Chen Peisi turned around and looked at Li Lingyu.

"I heard there's a wonton shop nearby that's really delicious," Li Lingyu said with a smile, "I'm going to go over there and try some today."

"found it?"

"hold head high!"

Chen Peisi still hasn't gotten used to Pujiang: "You can do it."

"During the few days I've been in Pujiang, I've been hanging out whenever I have time,"

Li Lingyu looked ahead with great joy: "Director Jiang, you can drive, you are so brave!"

"I'm not as brave as you," Jiang Shan looked at her in the rearview mirror. "It's my first time in Pujiang, and I dare to wander around alone, not afraid of getting lost:"

"How could I get lost? I'm so smart."

Li Lingyu stretched her neck and shook her head:

"Even if you ask me to liberate Taiwan, there will definitely be no problem."

"Look at what you can do,"

Jiang Shan and Chen Peisi laughed together: "It's also liberating Taiwan!"

Chen Peisi: "You think you are three red flags!"

……

Turn left and right and enter Pujiang Dance Theater.

Before I even entered the classroom, I heard:
"Three, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, stay steady, watch your expression..."

"Six, seven, eight, go, go, stop, stop, stop..."

"What happened these two days?"

Xia Tuan looked at the girls in the classroom with a stern face: "Why do we always make mistakes? We have been rehearsing this dance for a while, why are we still stepping on the wrong beat?"

The rehearsals were personally led by Deputy Director Xia of the Dance Theater, and it was so strict!

In a tense and depressing atmosphere, the girls who worked around the clock kept gritting their teeth and persevering.

After finally waiting for the break, the deputy team leader, who was about to leave the door, did not forget to turn back and emphasize a few individual points.

At this moment, Jiang Shan and Chen Peisi led several actresses into the classroom.

Looking at the girls lying on the floor, who were already exhausted, several people sat aside quietly.

More than 10 minutes later, Jiang Shan stood up:
“Everyone has worked hard during this period. I am not just saying this for show, I really feel that everyone has worked hard.

But there is no way, we still have to persevere.

The date of the National Dance Competition is here, and we have to work overtime if we want to win the grand prize."

The girls on the floor were either looking at him with grievance, or looking at the ground silently.

There were also a few who were already looking at the sky with tears in their eyes.

Looking at the still listless dance team in front of him, Jiang Shan smiled and clapped his hands:

"How about we play a game while we have some free time?"

Dong Zhizhi looked at Jiang Shan strangely: "Playing games?"

"I'm almost dead tired, and I'm still playing games," Zhou Jie pouted, "I'm so bored."

"My game," Jiang Shan began to make up, "is designed specifically for advanced dancers. I don't even want to teach those with poor skills."

“A game designed for dancers?”

Dong Zhizhi: "So those with poor skills can't play anymore?"

Zhou Jie raised her chin and said, "Do you think our level is good enough?"

A few minutes later,

After knowing the rules of the game, the girls in the dance studio stood on both sides.

Then, Jiang Shan inserted the prepared tape into the recorder: "Are you ready?"

"Okay~"

With a press of his finger, the recorder started to play:
【3, 2, 1...】

Jiangshan's counting voice came from the tape recorder, followed by a familiar string of music.

Zhou Jie pricked up her ears and listened for a few seconds before she immediately shouted excitedly, "It's 'Female Militia of the Grassland'."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Dong Zhizhi and ran to the center of the classroom.

After they raised their hands and started dancing for a while, several girls around came up and started dancing the familiar dance with them.

Unfortunately, before they could dance for a while, the music in the tape recorder disappeared again.

But just as the girls retreated to both sides in disappointment,
【3, 2, 1...】

A new piece of music started playing.

"It's 'Harvest Gongs and Drums'..." Several girls shouted out the title of the song together.

So soon, the girls who had just retreated to the sides ran to the center of the classroom again.

This time, they danced and laughed, each one more happily than the other.

Next, one familiar dance music after another came out from the tape recorder.

"Red Lantern,"

"The White-Haired Girl,"

Just like before, whoever has learned it will immediately run to the middle and dance a few times.

Although each dance can only be performed for a short period of time, the girls in the classroom danced back and forth, laughing and joking, and they were so happy!

At this moment, Chen Peisi, who had been stunned for a long time, took the time to look at Jiangshan, whose eyes were shining.

"Is this the game you came up with?"

"How about it, is it fun?"

"This is so beautiful, I'll think about it more when I have nothing to do!"

The game Jiangshan was teaching the girls was the random dance of later generations. The way of dancing to the music was indeed not open to everyone.

At this moment, watching the dancers dancing happily,

Pan Hong, Liu Xiaoqing, Gong Xue, Zhang Yu, and Li Lingyu were all extremely envious.

【3, 2, 1,】

The music starts again...

"It's 'Ascending Spring Mountain,'" Liu Xiaoqing and Pan Hong blurted out at the same time.

The next second, the two who knew a thing or two finally seized the opportunity to rush to the center of the stage and play a few rounds.

Nowadays, dance troupes learn and perform all kinds of dances.

So, although "Shang Chunshan" is a classic dance piece of the Pujiang Song and Dance Troupe, the girls in the Dance Theater also danced it well.

【3, 2, 1,】

This time, when a familiar string of music sounded, all the girls in the audience shouted out in unison: "Fisherman's Song."

After the sound, the 15 girls who were in their positions quickly changed their expressions and movements.

With the accompaniment of music, they dance gracefully with every move.

This time, the jump was so smooth.

The three group leaders standing outside the window looked at the unprecedented excitement in the room and clenched their hands excitedly.

"Our group's classic is finally coming..."
