Chapter 25: Such a good thing?
After a long while, Director Cheng regained his composure, touched his chin and coughed lightly, "Follow me to pick out a belt!"

Su Xiaoli took out the envelope she had prepared from her pocket and pushed it in front of Director Cheng.

"Old man, you can use this 50 yuan as the rent for this time. Do you think it's okay?"

Director Cheng was stunned again. 50 yuan - not to mention 7 days, is enough for a month!
He, no, as a national unit, the cultural center must adhere to principles and cannot take advantage of this little girl.

"More!" Director Cheng pushed the money away.

Su Xiaoli smiled sweetly.

"No more, no more. Not only this time, if the public likes it, I hope our cultural center will support it more in the future!"

If it was a long-term plan, Director Cheng wouldn't be able to say anything else.

He secretly decided that when this matter was over, he would report it back to the government. Maybe this method could really be promoted.

He took Su Xiaoli and the two of them to the data room. The text materials and video tape materials were neatly arranged inside. The room was also clean. It looked like it had been carefully maintained.

Director Cheng was also very attentive when choosing straps.

Su Xiaoli was not familiar with old movies, so she only briefly expressed her thoughts:

First, it should be suitable for all ages;

Second, it must have resonance with the times;
Third, be positive;

It would be best to make everyone happy.

These principles were very much in line with Director Cheng’s wishes, and he selected a dozen films in total.

There are red classics that Su Xiaoli had seen in her previous life, as well as relaxed ones that were extremely popular, and there are also a few that Director Cheng patted his chest and guaranteed to be absolutely beautiful.

A large box was sorted out.

"You are really a veteran, one can stand up to the three!" Su Xiaoli admired sincerely.

Elder Cheng Guan, a cultural figure, blushed slightly. He was definitely not as thick-skinned as this girl!
The praises he heard this morning were more than he had heard in half his life.

This was the first time in his life that he had encountered someone like Su Xiaoli who looked delicate but actually had a face thicker than a city wall!
Director Cheng suppressed a smile and stroked his white beard.

"Come on, I've heard enough flattery. Come over tomorrow at 5pm to test the machine. Just wait in the central market."

After bidding farewell to Director Cheng, Su Xiaoli walked without stopping and took Guo Hongxia back to the farmer's market in the center of the town, placing a thick stack of paper in her schoolbag on Zhou Zhiyong's table.

"Uncle Zhou, please give me a stamp."

Zhou Zhiyong didn't expect Su Xiaoli to be so efficient, but in one night, things had already advanced to a great extent.

What Su Xiaoli brought was a leaflet she designed herself. The content was simple and crude:
"Where can we find fun shows? There are a lot of shows at the Central Market!"

“In order to repay the public’s love for this farmer’s market,
This market has decided to play two free movies at the east end stage of this market starting from September 9th (this Saturday) at 14pm every night for 7 consecutive days.

Everyone is welcome to bring their own maza to come and watch! "

Several words at the bottom of the text were enlarged and bolded, and were written in red pen in the most conspicuous places.

"7 days in a row! 2 movies every night! Free! Free!"

The signature is clearly written as "Lingzheng County Town Center Farmers Market Management Office".

"You plan to start showing movies tomorrow?" Zhou Zhiyong was surprised.

Su Xiaoli nodded, "It's a bit hasty, but time waits for no one, so we have to hurry up."

Zhou Zhiyong stamped the leaflet, "Projector..."

"The projectors and video tapes have been selected. Director Cheng is very supportive. We will send someone over to set up the show at 5pm tomorrow and it will officially start at 7pm."

"I go!"

Zhou Zhiyong was dumbfounded. In his more than 40 years of life, this was the first time he met someone who handled things so efficiently.

The movements of his men tapping the seal couldn't help but speed up a bit. "Uncle Zhou, I need to trouble you to inform the people in our market. Firstly, there are free movies to watch. Secondly, the goods are ready tomorrow. Maybe we can sell something during the movie.

We also need to do some hygiene. We can't let people come in. The floor will be so dirty that we won't have anywhere to put our feet. "

Su Xiaoli's words "our market" made Zhou Zhiyong feel closer to him, and the burden on his shoulders instantly became heavier.

Xiaoli was right. With so many people coming in at once, safety, hygiene, and everything else had to be taken care of.

A little girl I just met is putting so much effort into taking care of it. There is no reason for him, the administrator, to be idle and do nothing.

Time was tight and Zhou Zhiyong secretly decided to hold a meeting for everyone after stamping.

“…The situation is like this, one person is assigned to every two stalls in each area to clean from north to south.

Another person is responsible for cleaning the stall countertop and the surrounding floor. All the old dirt must be cleaned away. Check at 4pm today! "

Zhou Zhiyong announced loudly.

Before he finished speaking, the crowd was "buzzing..." and whispers began.

"Oh my god! Seven days in a row!"

"Is it true? You can watch two free movies every night?"

It seems that most people are more interested in watching movies for free.

"Hey, tell me, what's the right thing to sell when watching a movie?"

"We have something to eat and drink, watch movies, eat melon seeds, and drink soda. Not to mention how beautiful it is."

A small number of business-savvy people have already begun to plan to prepare more goods and sell them tomorrow night.

The stall owners were all talking, and many of them were still doubtful. Zhou Zhiyong laughed angrily, but he was just smiling happily.

You know, these stall owners are usually half-dead, even when they fart - the sound is wilted!
Now I finally see some lively popularity.

He cleared his throat, "Everyone, act quickly. Whether the market can be preserved and whether it can develop in the future depends on this week's results!"

"With this free time for discussion, why not hurry up and clean up and stock up!"

Zhou Zhiyong led the stall owners to work enthusiastically.

On the other side, Su Xiaoli took Guo Hongxia to fight at the gates of the family homes of major units.

When you see a telephone pole, you put a leaflet on it, and when you see the aunts, you go into the crowd.

After Su Xiaoli said hello to the aunts, she went straight to the point and invited everyone to bring their families to the market to watch a movie.

Guo Hongxia couldn't let go at first, and her voice was as low as a mosquito's chirp. Later, she got annoyed by the aunts' questions, and she started to get louder.

Follow Su Xiaoli's example and try to explain things clearly at once.

The aunts and stall owners had similar reactions.

In an era when cultural life was monotonous and poor, being able to watch an outdoor movie was a top priority.

Even if you have to suffer from mosquito bites in the summer and cold hands and feet in the winter, open-air movies have always been an extremely grand event for people.

When they hear the news that there will be a movie screening, people often walk in groups for more than ten or twenty miles back and forth just to watch an "open-air movie."

There is, however, an activity to bring culture to the countryside. The screening team carries heavy machines to each village, only once or twice a year at most.

Then there is the family that holds weddings and funerals. Those with connections can invite the film screening team from the village cultural station. If they are exhausted, they will put on a show. No more.

I have never seen a movie shown like this, two movies a day for seven days in a row!
Is such a good thing possible? !

“Auntie, don’t worry, there will be two shows every day, nothing the same every day.

They are all good films personally recommended by Director Cheng of the County Cultural Center. When many films are screened in the city, you can’t even get tickets! "

 Thank you guys for always following the updates~
  You are my motivation~
