National Tide 1980

Ning Weimin's summer book fair has become increasingly popular since the day it was officially launched.

The most practical evidence is that the ticket revenue of Temple of Heaven Park is increasing day by day.

The first weekend after the opening of the market reached the highest peak of passenger flow in seven days, with passenger flow exceeding 110,000 in a single day.

As a result, the parking spaces at the four gates of the park have reached capacity.

On this day, the bicycle storage fee alone cost two large bags of pennies, which was more than a thousand yuan.

Although this passenger flow is still far from the peak of the New Year Garden Party - 150,000 people in a single day.

Don’t forget, the Chinese New Year garden party is a family fun event that the whole family, young and old, will be happy to participate in.

It only lasts for a few days, and it is held during the Spring Festival when the whole nation is on holiday.

The audience range is wide, everyone's emotions are also very enthusiastic, and they are afraid of missing out on the past.

On the other hand, this is not the case with book fairs, which are specific thematic activities.

Although young people these days are in a state of extreme spiritual hunger, they love literature just as young people thirty years later love iPhones.

Almost everyone has a copy of "People's Literature", and almost everyone is familiar with "Scar", "Spirit and Flesh", "Red and Black", "Les Misérables"...

But the problem is that the book market is opened during the summer vacation when most people except teachers and students have to go to work.

This means that, except for weekends, the only people who can come to the book market are teachers, students, and retirees.

In addition, the summer book market lasts for as long as one and a half months, so there is no urgency for people to participate.

Such a time span causes people to often think about it for such a long time, so there is no need to rush.

Therefore, comparing the two, the first summer book fair, which had to bear many disadvantages and limitations, was actually quite successful in achieving such a traffic flow.

It doesn't even have to keep growing, just keep it going, which is what it is half the time.

The overall passenger flow of the summer book fair will definitely double, surpassing the New Year Garden Party.

Needless to say, successful people will never lack people who can add icing on the cake and people who cheer for them.

In fact, since almost everyone who visited the book market this time gave positive reviews, word of mouth spread among ordinary people, and the good reputation of the book market among the people continues to expand.

As a result, various media outlets came uninvited and spared no effort to report and promote the book market.

Especially this summer there is a rather special situation.

That is to change the situation in which the nightlife in Beijing is relatively poor, working parents cannot buy food when they get off work late, and foreign tourists who come to Beijing are often rejected when visiting stores.

The Beijing City Government has also decided to set up nine night markets in prosperous places in the city to revitalize the economy and facilitate people's consumption and life.

Therefore, the opening of the Temple of Heaven Park Book Market coincides with this timing quite coincidentally.

It has become a model for enriching the cultural and spiritual needs of the people, and has a complementary effect with the nine living night markets.

What is good luck?

This is called good luck!

So this time, it was not the district leaders who came to support the event.

Instead, city leaders came to inspect the work and at the same time expressed condolences and congratulations to the organizers of the book fair and all the staff.

As a result, various media outlets pursued it with even more enthusiasm, comparing Tiantan Book Market to Jiuchu Night Market, as if all this was a wise decision from above.

Beijing TV Station is a typical example. They specially sent a camera crew.

Host, director, lighting, videography, and stage management are all provided.

And as soon as they arrived, they found the leaders of the Temple of Heaven Garden and made the request that the garden leaders should accept on-site interviews and accompany them for filming.

According to their plan, they wanted to spend a whole day shooting at the book market.

Then the captured content was compiled together with clips from nine night markets, and a special program was recorded to serve as a guide for people in the capital to spend this summer.

It's a good thing to say.

But the problem is that the director of the Temple of Heaven is the most impatient of long-term socializing.

Nowadays, everyone is eager to appear on TV, and the principal is not interested.

So after only politely accepting the ten-minute interview, the principal pushed Ning Weimin out on the grounds that he had more important work to attend to.

He even laid bare the truth to the film crew, claiming that all activities were planned by Ning Weimin.

It is said that all the organization, planning and whimsical ideas related to the book market are the credit of this Pierre-Carton representative.

Ning Weimin must be forced to take the limelight.

As a result, Ning Weimin had no choice but to reluctantly accept the request and accompany him personally.

Of course, he was not stupid, and he did not forget to drag Qiao Wanlin over and tie him up with him.

In the end, this move turned out to be a mistake, and everyone was happy.

You must know that Ning Weimin is not only familiar with all aspects of the book market, but also has insights that transcend the times.

In addition, he is very eloquent and combines the best of ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign, and is simply a natural "explanatory machine".

His eloquence cannot be matched by ordinary people.

However, Qiao Wanlin is very enthusiastic about his career, and what he thinks about every day is to find opportunities to express himself.

The more people who follow him, the more interested he will be in speaking.

Even because I know I can be on TV, I can perform at a super level.

Moreover, he has a close friendship with Ning Weimin, and they are old friends and partners who work well together.

When the two of them get together like this, you say something and I say something.

It's simply a talk show where you have a lot of witty words and meet your opponent.

As for why it is a talk show and not a cross talk show.

That's because their conversations are also very humorous, with new ideas and climaxes.

But the conversation was quite natural and full of sincerity.

When you say something, you neither belittle yourself nor step on others.

Not only is there no tackiness or Beijing flavor, there is also no deliberately exaggerated performance.

In turn, to the staff on site, the actors on the stage, and even the tourists visiting the book market.

However, they fully gave me unstinting praise and sincere gratitude.

So the program recording effect is quite good.

Throughout the interview, even though Ning Weimin and Qiao Wanlin were both serious, they made people feel close to each other and made them laugh knowingly.

Not only were they not afraid of the camera at all, but they also made it difficult for the host to react and interrupt.

So much so that after filming ended, the crew collectively joked that the two of them were here to steal their jobs.

A week later, Beijing TV Station officially broadcast this program to the public.

The specific content of the show is even more surprising.

Because the content about the Summer Book Market at the Temple of Heaven was actually regarded as the finale by Beijing TV Station and placed at the end of this program.

It actually took up a full ten minutes, which was one-third of this half-hour special program.

It also gave many close-ups of Ning Weimin and Qiao Wanlin.

They are treated exactly like official hosts.

This not only proves that the TV station recognizes the amateur commentary skills of Ning Weimin and Qiao Wanlin.

It also allowed their neighbors and friends to see the two of them in high spirits at the event through the TV screen.

However, although Ning Weimin's appearance was very successful this time, the cameraman seemed to be a little partial to him and made him look quite handsome.

But not all people were as happy and excited for him as the neighbors in Shan'er Hutong, or good friends like Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing, or the staff of the Temple of Heaven Garden and Tan Palace.

Some people, especially some girls, had very complicated emotions when they saw him on the screen, and they had to express themselves one by one.

"...Here I would like to give some suggestions to parents who have children. Generally, children under the age of four like to read animal books. Parents can use their children's hobby to let them learn more about nature. Older children Parents can let their children read some comics in moderation. We also sell birds, pigeons, goldfish, turtles, grasshoppers, kittens, puppies, and rabbits. Even if you don’t want to buy them, parents can still bring their children. Let’s take a look at the book market to feel happy physically and mentally..."

In the dark little room of Yin Yue's house, Ning Weimin spoke eloquently into the interview microphone on the large color TV screen.

Yin Yue's grandma was talking casually under the lamp while doing her sewing.

"Hey, this young man looks really good. Is he a new host or an actor on the TV station? He's handsome enough. I think he'd be suitable to join that... that Red Mansion crew and play the role of a handsome boy..."

Yin Yue suddenly became a little unhappy.

"Grandma, don't talk nonsense. Do you know who he is? This is our manager Ning. He wants to be an actor and let others choose him? That's a huge price drop! It's almost like he chooses models for our company..."

"What? He is your manager?" Grandma stared at the screen through her reading glasses for a while and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, let me tell you, you push people here and there, don't be in a hurry to find a partner..."

"Grandma, you are thinking blindly again, what's the matter..." Yin Yue suddenly blushed.

"Eldest granddaughter, tell me the truth, what is there to be embarrassed about? Does he have a partner? Does he know what you are thinking?"

"Grandma! I'm busy making a lot of money and doing big things every day. Where can I think about this? Stop thinking about it. In fact, even our manager Ning is the same! There are many girls who like him, but he doesn't have a girlfriend. No relationship. Otherwise, how could he have achieved what he does today at such a young age?"

"Hey, if you really have nothing to do with him, then that's the best. Grandma is doing this for your own good and doesn't want you to waste her time. Think about it, your manager has such good conditions and looks like this, what kind of girl can you do? Don't like it? But if the girl's family really finds such a person, how can it not be uncomfortable? Aren't they suspicious? I'm afraid that they will never have a stable life for the rest of their lives. It's not that grandma thinks the worst of others, but the heartless people in this world, Most of them are young, rich, well-spoken, and have outstanding looks. Such people are born to be the bane of women..."

Yin Yue was stunned by grandma's words.

But looking at the screen, she gradually frowned and slowly bit her lower lip.

…………

"...The actors and models we invite to perform on stage are of course the best. We invite them because they are good enough, not because we invite them to say they are excellent..."

"Yes, the logical relationship between what Manager Ning just said is very important. Otherwise, we will be bragging. Of course, the most important thing is the quality of the program and the level of the actors to fully explain everything. I think..."

Similar to Grandma Yin Yue's point of view, at Lan Lan's house, Lan Zheng was also expressing his disgust to Ning Weimin and Qiao Wanlin on the TV.

"Hey, look how proud these two boys are. Huh, they are working together! Do you think if you hadn't begged me, I could have found a job for him? Huh, just pick up his rags and sell his scrap metal."

"I also tell you that the person named Qiao can get past me now only because of Ning Weimin. Thank you for reporting him in the first place! Now think about it, if I had added insult to injury and used that incident to turn things upside down, It would be better to spend money on both of them. I regret that I missed a good opportunity and raised a tiger for trouble."

"I'm not saying that God has given birth to such a thing, which has no other purpose than to disturb the world. I said you girls are stupid enough to be fascinated by such a thing. Just look at his face like Lu Bu or Zhao Yun? Look at you Look, oh, so many models are crowding around him, this kid has fallen into the flowers. Let me put it here, he is not a gangster, he will become a gangster sooner or later..."

Lan Lan has been sitting silently, staring at Ning Weimin on the screen motionlessly.

But I don't know why, tears suddenly burst out unsatisfactorily, streaked across my face, and fell in big drops.

Her reaction immediately shut up Lan Zheng.

After a long while, when she began to cry softly, Lan Zheng sighed and said very guiltily.

"I'm sorry, sister, I know what I just said was not listened to and hurt you. But I, I didn't mean to irritate you and make you unhappy. I mean, I really hope you can completely forget about him. Go Find the happiness you deserve. Really, sister, so many people want to chase you. As long as you get a boyfriend, you can do it, it’s that simple..."

Lan Lan lowered his head, not looking at Lan Zheng.

She didn't seem to have the courage to make eye contact with her brother.

He just lowered his head for a long time and said softly, "I don't blame my bad life, because I have tried my best to pursue it. Although I am bruised and bruised, it is not his fault. Brother, I think your work is actually It's the same. It can only be said that we all have too much hope. I will do as you say, but please, please don't speak ill of him in front of me again. "

After saying that, Lan Lan stood up from the sofa, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and walked quickly into her room.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Lan Zheng sighed again.

Then, as if out of anger, he stared at Ning Weimin and Qiao Wanlin on the screen and turned off the TV fiercely.

…………

"Bang!"

The negative reactions at Huo Xin's home were obviously more serious.

Huo Xin, who locked herself in the room and was drunk, threw the wine bottle in her hand at the TV in the room.

There is no doubt that the moment it hit, the glass exploded and red liquid sprayed on the TV screen.

Ning Weimin's face looked like it was covered in blood.

"You are such a bastard! A heartless bastard! Are you very proud of yourself? You have been using me, and you dumped me after using me. Now that you have so many beautiful women surrounding you? Your status is also different from before. You You must feel that you can do anything and your future is bright, right? But I swear, one day, I will make you regret it!"

Huo Xin held a cigarette in his hand and struggled to keep his balance. He bent over and spoke to the TV screen through gritted teeth.

Then there was a nervous chuckle.

"Haha, okay, I won't play with you anymore, I'm going abroad! Just be your big manager. But when I come back, I will destroy you with my own hands! I promise! Baby..."

After saying that, her red lips were printed on Ning Weimin's mouth on the screen.

…………

Qu Xiao was experiencing a difficult inner battle at home.

"Everyone should be familiar with our models. Several of them have participated in model competitions. This is Sun Ting, and Shang Xiaomin, this is Shi Kai who came in fourth, and of course our champion... Qu Xiao ! So I must say that the costume performances presented at our Summer Reading Festival are among the best in the country, and I also think that they have a lot of room for development, not just in China. I look forward to them going to the international stage. I even think that they may still have acting talents that need to be discovered, and they should not just stick to being models..."

Looking at Ning Weimin on the TV screen, Qu Xiao was not as completely immersed in the beautiful future he had outlined for the models as her parents were.

Qu Xiao was actually struggling with a small detail displayed on the screen.

Yes, Brother Ning's hand did touch my shoulder at that time.

No, it's not the illusion in my mind.

He actually hugged me and didn't touch anyone else.

Even...he didn't even touch the small stone standing on his left.

Just put his arm around my shoulders.

Is this a coincidence? Or a hint?

Maybe it's just his subconscious behavior?

Can it explain some problems...

But, what if... there is a misunderstanding?

What if they just think of me as their sister?

If that's the case, then...that would be too embarrassing...

Qu Xiao's heart began to beat loudly, and her face turned pink due to her thoughts.

Unconsciously, he became shy and buried his face in his hands.

However, just when the clouds and mountains were shrouded in fog, her imagination was wandering, and her heart was in chaos, her mother's voice really frightened her.

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you? What...are you doing?"

"Ah...I...it's fine. He...I mean Manager Ning, he praised us just now, it was a bit too much."

Caught off guard, Qu Xiao felt extremely embarrassed, but this made his parents laugh.

"Nowhere. I think what he said is very good. Our daughter is so outstanding. She fully deserves her name. You must get used to enjoying honors and praises, our champion daughter."

"That's right, you kid is the real deal. You went up to the stage with tens of thousands of people watching, and you also took back the championship trophy. Why are you still so shy? A few compliments can make you blush like this?"

Qu Xiao said nothing, only the pink glow on his face expressed everything.
