National Tide 1980

Li Zhong was just joking randomly and out of proportion.

So he was immediately glared at by Jiang Hui angrily and scolded, "No big, no small."

However, since they are both friends and relatives, there will naturally be no real quarrel between them.

Li Zhong first punished himself with three cups of wine to apologize to Jiang Hui, and then he only said nice things.

In fact, he even made fun of himself and made Jiang Hui laugh with a few jokes.

The atmosphere at the wine table became lively and heated.

At this moment, Ning Weimin already understood almost what he wanted to know.

Seeing this scene, I took the time to ask Meng Yi a few more key aspects of doing things.

It would be better to spoil the scenery and talk endlessly about the problem of the house.

I also started to follow the trend and started chatting with everyone about lighter topics.

For example, what home appliances are popular in society now, what movies and TV series are the most popular, whose songs are popular, what clothes are the most fashionable...

Unfortunately, although Ning Weimin wanted to blend in with everyone, it was not that easy, and he was a bit out of place.

Because first, having experienced the information age, his values ​​and aesthetics are very different from the vast majority of people in this era.

Second, he was too busy in the second half of this year and had no time to pay attention to things other than his job and his side business.

For example, when it comes to home appliances, Ning Weimin has completely opposite views than people of his generation.

He doesn't have the yearning and enthusiasm to buy everything at all costs, even at the risk of losing everything.

In his eyes, the products currently on the market have almost all backward functions and are not worth buying.

He doesn't even look down on big Japanese brand home appliances like Sony, Panasonic, and Toshiba.

I think the Japanese devils are very evil about domestic pricing.

For another example, there are many mainland songs that are now widely sung, such as "Youth, Youth", "Songs of Joy Flying from the Waves", "Island of the Sun" and so on.

Although it uses the most popular electroacoustic soundtrack at the moment, it is full of bright and positive content, and the melody is also very beautiful.

But every time Ning Weimin heard it on the radio, he would change the channel.

He always felt that such songs lacked personality and had old-fashioned artistic techniques. They were songs that only "old orthodox" people would like.

Of course, he would not pay attention to the singers of these songs.

Similarly, the two highly influential mainland films released this year, "Wreaths Under the Mountains" and "Our Fields", although they are both well-received and good works, have touched countless people in this era.

But Ning Weimin happens to be a person in this era who especially lacks these life experiences.

He has never been a soldier, went to work in the countryside and was the original owner of this body, so he cannot really resonate emotionally and spiritually with the two movies.

The only one that not only triggered a social response from thousands of people, but was also one that Ning Weimin was more interested in and he used to follow "Talking about the Yangtze River" every day.

It just so happens that it is a documentary describing the great rivers and mountains of our country and the humanities and customs on both sides of the Yangtze River.

It is obviously inappropriate to discuss this film over a wine table, and it is not a very good topic.

Even the martial arts TV series "Huo Yuanjia" that came from Hong Kong City had no appeal to Ning Weimin.

Because I am used to watching big-production, fast-paced, and computer-generated TV dramas thirty years later.

He simply couldn't accept the gangster scenes in this drama to save money, as well as the ridiculously clichéd martial arts moves.

For him, watching Huang Yuan-shen and Liang Xiaolong perform Mizongquan and beat Japanese people with "hum hum ha ha" is somewhat like an anti-Japanese drama.

It's far less interesting than watching "The Legend of the Book of Heaven", "Old Pig Chooses a Cat", "Mango with Legs", and "The Mouse Marries a Girl", which are just recently produced in the mainland this year.

As for the most sensational movie this year, it is the Japanese movie "March of Kamata" that really set the trend and made young people collectively worship and pursue it.

Because it was released in September, it happened to coincide with Ning Weimin's busiest time, and he missed it perfectly.

At present, with the movie heroine "Natsu", she has become famous at home and abroad, and has made countless people deeply obsessed with "Japan's most beautiful woman".

Only Ning Weimin didn't know who the big star Keiko Matsusaka was and what she looked like, who claimed that he was "satisfied just by seeing her appearance."

In short, his backwardness and ignorance of this year's entertainment information have reached an outrageous level.

This made everyone at the table feel unbelievable, and they inevitably misunderstood that he was deliberately pretending to show his independence.

But having said that, Ning Weimin is well-informed after all.

As a practitioner in the fashion industry, he is a trendsetter.

He has an absolute advantage in terms of information and words.

In fact, when the topic gradually turned to social news, he found the best entry point and regained control of the rhythm of the conversation.

For example, when will the bamboo crisis in Wolong, Sichuan end?

Everyone has responded to the call and donated so much money. Why do giant pandas still lack bamboo to eat?

And what happened to the country’s first gender reassignment surgery this year?

So why does Zhang Kesha, who has changed from a man to a woman, have to torment herself like this when she can't live a good life?

For another example, is the legendary mobile phone real or fake?

How can we do it without a phone line?

Why is Maxim's restaurant so expensive?

What kind of income do real French people have to rely on to be able to eat such French cuisine every day?

And will the model competition continue to be held next year?

Those clothing models are so tall, can they only find basketball and volleyball players as boyfriends?

I heard that when models perform, they change clothes without distinguishing between men and women, and they don't avoid people, and they don't wear underwear. Is this true?

In short, Ning Weimin has become the focus of everyone's attention by relying on niche knowledge that most people in this era are unclear about but are interested in.

Moreover, he also used a rather novel interpretation method that transcended the times, which greatly amazed these people and made them very interested.

Soon, he even reached the same wavelength as everyone and found a common channel in film and television works.

You know, the popular movie "The Wrong Ride" on Baodao and the popular TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in Hong Kong City will still be famous thirty years later.

In his previous life, Ning Weimin had watched it at the suggestion of others, and he liked it very much and had a relatively deep memory.

However, these two film and television dramas are currently not introduced in mainland China and can only be understood through video tape channels.

This has become a special play that only a few mainlanders can enjoy in contemporary times.

Those who can see it in advance are certainly proud of it.

At the beginning of this year, Li Zhong just spent 3,000 yuan to get a JVC video recorder from Huacheng.

He is alone in his comfort zone.

So whenever I had nothing to do, I would look for video tapes everywhere, and then invite friends to watch the videos at home.

Naturally, I was particularly willing to share my impressions and experiences of these two film and television dramas with Ning Weimin.

However, compared to the charm of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, Li Zhong admires the video recorder itself more.

He regarded this thing as an entertainment artifact and considered it to be the greatest technological invention of this century besides television.

According to his words, the information blockade has been completely broken from now on.

Is three thousand yuan expensive?

With this money, you can have your own small TV station, which is certainly not expensive.

Perhaps he was too proud, having Ning Weimin touch the most itchy spot in his heart.

After only half of the meal, Li Zhong suddenly couldn't sit still and insisted that Ning Weimin go with him to another room to look at something.

He raised a glass and first confessed to Jiang Hui and Meng Yi, then stood up and started to pull people away.

Ning Weimin couldn't stand his insistence and insistence, so he had no choice but to leave.

After entering the house, I watched helplessly as this boy lay under the bed like a dog.

Pretending to be mysterious, he pulled out a paper box originally containing soap.

When I opened the lid again, I saw a long black box like a book stacked inside.

They were all videotapes, dozens of them.
