Chapter 262: Film Projection Team Born for Publicity (55)
Looking at Xu Fugui who was looking very proud in the crowd, He Yuzhu who had just walked into the courtyard smiled and said hello.
"Wow, Uncle Xu, why are you back so early today?
If I'm not mistaken, this is the Fei Ge bicycle that was just released in Tianjin this year.
I remember that although this car is not expensive, the price is only 7000 to yuan, the same as Forever, but the current annual production is less than units, and there is absolutely no demand for it.
Many people want to buy it but can’t.
It's really surprising that you brought one back out of nowhere."
While He Yuzhu was talking, Xu Fugui also turned his head and looked towards the gate of the courtyard.
But before he could say anything, Xu Damao had already spoken.
"What do you think, Zhuzi? Are you jealous? Our family will have a bicycle in the future. I can ask my dad to ride his bicycle to take me to school every day."
As a result, just as he finished speaking triumphantly, Xu Fugui slapped him on the head.
"What are you talking about, you little bastard?
Zhuzi drives the police station's truck to transport goods all over the city every day, but I only have a broken bicycle.
You are so shameless to show off in front of others."
Xu Damao felt very aggrieved after being slapped in the face for no reason. He touched the back of his head and looked at his father stubbornly.
But for Xu Fugui, it was his own son's fault if he beat him up.
I didn't pay any attention to him at all.
At this time, he was already photographing the brand new Fei Ge bicycle and said to He Yuzhu with a smile,
"You also said that Fei Ge bicycles are very rare in the market and are in short supply. It is true that this one of mine is a Fei Ge bicycle, but I didn't buy it.
This was sent to us projectionists by the Propaganda Department of the Peking Military Control Commission."
Just as Xu Fugui was about to continue, Yan Bugui, who was so envious that his eyes turned red, interrupted him impatiently,
"Mr. Xu, please don't change the subject. You haven't told us yet.
So many people want to buy a Fei Ge bicycle but can't. Why would the propaganda department of the Peking Military Control Commission give you such a precious thing?
And it’s such a brand new Fei Ge bicycle.
This is so unfair, why don’t they send me a bicycle?”
Hearing his question, Jia Zhang, who was standing beside him, rarely did not tear Yan Bugui down, but stood on his side.
Because she was also jealous, jealous of why this treatment was not given to their Jia Dongxu,
"Yes, yes, Lao Xu.
Please tell us what happened? Why did the Military Control Commission give you a bicycle?
No one else has it, why do you have it? "
The questions raised by Yan Bugui and Jia Zhang are actually the questions that many neighbors in the Siheyuan are concerned about.
After all, it was such a big, brand new, free, and unavailable Fei Ge bicycle.
It's really eye-catching.
This alone made all the neighbors look at Xu Fugui with curiosity, waiting for his answer.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xu Fugui felt that he was so proud.
He patted the bicycle with a smile.
"The Military Control Commission is doing this for propaganda purposes.
The State Council wanted to achieve more in propaganda, so it decided to popularize movies and vigorously develop film projection teams.
In June last year, we started a film projection training class in Jinling.
Specialized in training film projection talents,
After more than half a year of study, the first batch of nearly 2000 film projectionists have successfully graduated and have been assigned to more than 40 mobile projection teams in major provinces across the country.
As the capital, Peking has the most projectionists.
The Military Control Commission ordered these newly graduated projectionists to form more than a dozen film projection groups together with the veteran projectionists already in Peking.
He was responsible for going deep into the towns and villages of Peking to show movies to the people there, and at the same time to publicize the policies and instructions of the State Council. But a set of movie projection equipment was so heavy and the roads in the countryside were so difficult to walk on.
The Military Control Commission cannot allow us to drive trucks to the countryside like Zhuzi did.
But we can't carry the bags on our shoulders.
So we gave each projectionist in our projection team a bicycle as a means of transportation to the countryside."
At the end, Xu Fugui patted the items on the shelf.
The neighbors then realized that it was a movie projection device.
Then someone raised a question.
"Lao Xu, since it is public property, why did you ride the bicycle back? Isn't this against the rules?
The bicycle is fine, after all, it's only worth 800,000 or 900,000 yuan, but why did you bring back the film equipment? This thing is much more expensive than the bicycle!
Didn't the steel mill security department stop you when you left?"
Hearing Yan Bugui's question, Xu Fugui smiled and shook his head.
“I came here with a mission.
So when I brought the bicycle and the movie projection equipment back, I naturally got the approval of the factory leaders.”
When Yan Bugui heard Xu Fugui say that he had a mission, he was stunned for a moment, then asked,
"Mission? What mission? Are you going to the countryside?"
"Hasn't the Executive Yuan promulgated the "Daxia Regulations on Punishing Counter-Revolutionaries"? The Military Control Commission requires our film projection team to cooperate with the Peking Radio Station, major newspapers and street governments to carry out publicity.
To put it simply, after dinner today and tomorrow, our projection team will show movies to the residents of Shichahai at the Bell and Drum Tower.
This is just a practice session, we will start going to the countryside officially the day after tomorrow.
That’s it, you see.”
I heard Xu Fugui say that their film projection team will show movies to everyone at the Bell and Drum Tower tonight and tomorrow night.
Neighbors no longer bothered about his bicycle and film equipment.
They all talked about this matter.
"Old Xu, you are not lying to us, are you? The Military Control Commission really asked you to show us the movie.
The movie tickets sold at the few cinemas in the city are very expensive, and not everyone can afford them.
Is the Military Control Commission really a waste of time? "
"I really don't know how to say hello to you. Didn't I just tell you that the original intention of establishing our film projection team is to publicize the policies of the State Council.
We're going to show you a movie this time.
It is to gather the people to publicize the "Daxia Regulations on Punishing Counter-Revolutionaries" issued by the State Council, so that everyone can fully understand its meaning.
To pave the way for the subsequent large-scale trial of those spies,
This will help encourage everyone to actively report those hidden spies and bullies.
Compared with the security situation in our city of Beiping, the money spent on showing you movies is nothing! "
After listening to Xu Fugui's explanation of the intentions of the Beiping Military Control Commission,
The neighbors suddenly realized that the free movie screenings were intended to be a success.
Since the above is meant to promote something,
The neighbors immediately accepted the idea of watching movies for free tonight and tomorrow night.
