40 years ago, the film and television activities of the military camp were very different from those of the localities

The book picks up.

When it comes to watching movies and television, it is now just a small matter of home life and entertainment, every household is indispensable to the TELEVISION set, and various theaters are everywhere, which is not worth mentioning.

The tragic situation of 40 years ago can only be truly felt by those who have experienced it, the term television in society has just spread, and the small village commune in my hometown was still in 1976 when Mao Zedong died, and the supply and marketing cooperatives on the street bought a nine-inch small black-and-white television set to receive the tiananmen Square to chase down the live event. After dark, on the street, the units lined up to watch, and the slightly farther away from Ben could not see clearly, and could only listen to TV. Every night we are running up the mountain road for more than a dozen miles to see the strange, only to know the appearance of the TV set, it seems to be broadcast for a week, people put the TV into the office, baby knots, the whole commune more than 30,000 people only this one, you say how expensive?

At that time, there was a song circulating that was a mouthful, which was an overview and explanation of the film screening situation across the country: the old three wars, the strange children, the eight model singing dramas, the European Pearl two films, and the import of four songs from the DPRK and Vietnam. The old three wars refer to the battlefield warfare, mine warfare and the southern expedition to the north; the strange children refer to the "surprise attack" and "heroic children"; the eight models refer to "Shajiabang", "Red Lantern", "Red Grain Army", "Wise Tiger Mountain", "Harbor", "Longjiang Song", "White Haired Girl", "Surprise Attack white tiger regiment"; the pearl of Europe, that is, the Albanian film "The Wave of the Dor's Brain River" and "The Eighth is a Bronze Statue"; the last sentence is the Korean trilogy "Flower Girl", "The Village with Flowers Blooming", "When picking apples" and Vietnamese imported films "The Wave of the Brain River" and "The Eighth is a Bronze Statue"; the last sentence is the Korean trilogy "Flower Girl", "The Village with Flowers Blooming", "When picking apples" and Vietnamese imported films "The Wave of the Brain River" and "The Eighth is a Bronze Statue"; the last sentence is the Korean trilogy "Flower Girl", "The Village with Flowers Blooming", "When picking apples" and Vietnamese imported films "The Wave of the Dor brain river" and "The Eighth is a Bronze Statue"; the last sentence is the Korean three-part film "Flower Girl", "The Village with Flowers Blooming", "When picking apples" and Vietnamese imported films "The Wave of the Dor brain river" and "The Eighth is a Bronze Statue"; the last sentence is the Korean trilogy "Flower Girl", "The Village with Flowers Blooming", "When Picking Apples" and Vietnamese imported films "The Wave of the Dor brain river" and "The Eighth is a Bronze Statue"; the last sentence is the Korean three-part film "Flower Girl", "The Village with Flowers Blooming", "When the Apples Are Picked" and the Vietnamese import film "The Wave of the Head River" and " The Road Back to Home".

At that time, there were more than 800 million people in China, and these films were in the film market, so they went to the mountains and countryside for more than half a year, and every time we chased and ran for one or two miles of mountain roads to follow, and when we returned home, the chickens often barked. The next morning did not dare to sleep lazily, should go to school, should go to work, delay the work of the adults in the family are not allowed to follow next time, that is called because of small losses, sit on the missed opportunity yo.

After joining the army in 1970 and 1978, the prelude to reform has been opened, and the films that have been sealed during the ten years of turmoil have been released one after another, and every Saturday night is a unified organization to watch open-air movies in the auditorium square of the military region.

Open the dusty notebook, clearly record the first film called "Visiting the Countryside" to the troops, the content is the story of delivery to the countryside to support agriculture, the second film is called "Chasing Fish" is a mythological drama film, all of which are original in color, and the projector is also very different from the acoustic effect of the rural simple machine, which is a real artistic enjoyment. I checked the names of the films recorded in the diary, and I watched a total of 133 films in the three years as a soldier, and all of them had not been seen in the local area before, the mythological romance films were all-encompassing, everything in the sky and underwater, and the domestic imports were in full competition.

Because we are a guard company of the provincial military region, there is a guard target courtyard in the basement in addition to various defense maps, battle maps, three-dimensional sand table, Wuhan Military Region, Henan Provincial Military Region and national troop deployment maps and other war room equipment, there is also a small screening hall, ordinary soldiers can not enter, the common people are not even allowed to stay at the door. We can stand guard and peek at the light, often put reference films and other confidential films, such as "OO7, Love from Russia", etc., which were not seen locally at that time, of course, there will be some films that were considered to be hooligans and obscene pornography that have long been taken for granted, and more are military teaching reference films to help decision-makers formulate strategic campaign plans. Chiefs often hold meetings inside, watch movies during breaks to change their minds, not necessarily which person is the turn to stand guard, but also strictly confidential, and the name does not dare to remember, so they do not watch too much.

In a short article a few days ago, I introduced that the company had a small twelve-inch black-and-white television set, which was turned on every Sunday morning, but I was not impressed. The reason is that when a recruit in order to seek progress to earn a watch to play does not dare to look, when the veteran is the squad leader is no time to see, ten fingers have a length, your class that even if it is the top class, there will always be a little backward soldiers, and the more the top class pressure is greater, he works overtime to engage in small training You have to accompany to prevent the action from going out of shape, encourage its spirit at any time, but also to be well protected to prevent accidents, military training is not a gun, especially to prevent personal accidents.

A few years of military career, I watched the movies of the first half of my life, and I did not pay a penny, it should be said that it is worth it! (To be continued)
