tickets for the early Star Cinema.
last 50s Military Club. (Ji'nan city construction archives) not long ago, the old cinema, which was once known as "the first of the Qilu", was demolished in 1953. Many old Jinan people were sob. In that era, the cinema not only supported the public's leisure and cultural life, but also made many beautiful memories of Ji'nan people. Recently, this newspaper enthusiasts Zheng Jiakun showed us a collection of film files of half a century ago, from which people can find that it was a serious matter to think of the film.
"the demolition of the Guangming cinema not long ago, reminds me of a collection of Ji'nan cinema archives in 50s of the last century. So I looked for it and turned it over. You see, there are all the archives of China, stars, grand view, military, Jincheng, peace and other movie theaters. On the afternoon of June 26th, Mr. Zheng Jiakun, a shopkeeper, opened up 30 yellowed pages of his collection in the quiet house of Zhongshan Park.
because Ji'nan has not yet published a systematic film industry book, industry insiders believe that the archive of half a century of Ji'nan's old cinema has provided a vivid footnote for the study of the changes in the Ji'nan film industry.
two copies of the report showed that in the old data of the two Star Cinema in the special era and the conversion of the Chinese cinema to the
"this house is temporarily closed because of the need for repairs and repairs. This letter is to be sent to you for further reference." This is the content of the repair report submitted by the Star Cinema to the higher management department on 15 August 1954. Zheng Jiakun explained that in the report, the "Star Cinema" in the report was the old Star Cinema, the small cold cinema. It was built in the beginning of the opening of Ji'nan in Ji'nan in 1904, the earliest cinema in Ji'nan, and the Star Film Academy in 1950. According to the related records, the closing time mentioned in the report may be the time for the old Star Cinema to say goodbye to the small and cold site, and then the cinema is repaired to "Sino Soviet friendly film field". In August 1955, the "Sino Soviet friendly film field" moved to the new market north of the people's shopping mall, and the small and cold site became the health education Museum in Ji'nan. . Since 2011, the small, cold and old site that has been hidden for a long time has been rebuilt into a movie theme restaurant, and has entered the public view again. "
" at the same time in small and cold sites, the government organized 33 private business owners and wholesalers to build a new Star Cinema, the address of seven weft twelve, and the official opening of the Spring Festival in 1955, the old site of the cinema today. " Zheng Jiakun said, therefore, this repair report has milestone significance, it can be regarded as a documentary file to witness the transformation of new and old two star movie theaters.
in 2009, the demolition of Chinese cinemas made many old Jinan laments. It is worth mentioning that there are also reports on the repair of Chinese cinemas in the old pieces of paper collected by Zheng Jiakun. In June 10, 1954, the report said that the cinema was "damaged and dangerous at any time". Zheng Jiakun explained that there were also two Chinese cinemas, which were built in the South Gate of the people's Mall in the South Gate of the people's Mall in 1950, but the quality was very poor. In 1954, they were forced to report the report, that is, the report. In the summer of the same year, the new Chinese cinema started in the southeastern side of the mall with 17 private wholesalers, which was the same as the Star Cinema. The new Chinese cinema was opened in the Spring Festival of 1955.
"besides the stars and China, the new cinema which built and opened in the Spring Festival in 1955 is also bright. It is also funded by private wholesalers. The background of the times is that in 1954, the city of Ji'nan on the whole city department stores, silk fabrics and other 17 industry more than 400 wholesale businesses to adjust the industry, under the leadership of the government, some wholesaler funds into the film industry. Zheng Jiakun explained.
from silver to avant-garde, from silver to avant-garde, the two weft three avant-garde cinema has been changed eight times,
"the avant-garde cinema, originally located in the two weft three road, is a very famous movie theater in Ji'nan. There are more than 1000 seats upstairs and downstairs. This was the first show in the Republic of China. Where there is a sound film. " Mr. Zheng Jiakun, pointing to a renaming report, told reporters that, you see, it was called "the people's Theatre" at the beginning of the founding of new China and that it was renamed "Military Club" at the end of 1953.
the reporter saw that the renamed letter of the people's theatre was dated December 14, 1953, and the text reads: "this department is instructed by the superior, to stop business from foreign business from the 15 of this month, to serve the army, so it is renamed 'Military Club'..." Next to the text, there are also the square seals of the "Shandong Military Area Military Club of the Chinese people's Liberation Army" and the oval seal of "the Ji'nan people's Theatre" to be abandoned.
Mr. Zheng Jiakun explained that, according to the records of "Ji'nan Chronicles", the avant-garde cinema was opened in 1930, originally called Yuguang cinema, then renamed "Moon Palace Cinema", "Shandong theater", "Shandong painting Museum", "Dahua Cinema", and the early liberation of "the people's shadow theater", and in 1954 it was easily named "military cinema." ", service to the army. It opened to the public in 1966 and was renamed "avant-garde cinema" in 1981. This letter of rename confirms that the records of "Ji'nan Chronicles" are mistaken. After liberation, the exact name should be "the people's Theatre", not the "people's theater", which was renamed "Military Club" (also known as "military cinema") in December 15, 1953, not the name of 1954.
in addition, according to Zheng Jiakun, "the people's Theatre" has been renamed the "Military Club" another reason: in the year, the military area invested in the old site of Dongkou Beiyang opera house, Tonghui street, built a theater, named "the people's Theatre", which is renamed the "Military Club" here.
[a notice of price reduction]
children in the provincial capital in 1958 have enjoyed only five cents a special ticket
now, after the 61 International Children's day and other festivals, it is the usual way of promotion in Ji'nan's cinemas. You know, as early as half a century ago, Ji'nan had already started special tickets for child practice. However, the price reduction at that time was an official notification issued by the Ji'nan Municipal Bureau of culture.
Zheng Jiakun took a notice of the 1958 film price reduction to a reporter. Only the text of the notice was as follows: "each movie theater: '61' International Children's Day is coming. In order to celebrate the festival, the study decided to do a good job of promoting the local party and political leadership in all theaters, and at the '61' children's Day (self). During the period from June 1st to the end of June 1st, the first two films of 'Landan and winter', 'proud general', and other films for children were released for the first time in our city, and the charge for children was five. Below the notice is the official seal of the Ji'nan Municipal Bureau of culture.
"up to now, this notice is the earliest document I found in Ji'nan for special tickets for children. I think it's still a bit worth it. " Zheng Jiakun said with a smile.

the approval formalities of extended reading
show that the film appears to be "serious"
"the most important of all our literature and art is the film, the film is a great propaganda tool among the masses" - this is India. The red text below the public paper of the people's theatre. It reflects the important political and social status of film projection in the 50s of last century.
Zheng Jiakun told reporters that the movie show was a more serious entertainment. The archives related to the Ji'nan film show that all the cinemas in Ji'nan were strictly examined and approved, regardless of the maintenance or the increase in the performance of the theatrical troupe. First of all, we should apply to the Shandong Provincial Office of the Chinese Film Publishing Company and the Ji'nan Municipal People's Government Bureau of culture and education respectively, and the latter also have to report the application to the Shandong Provincial Cultural Administration Bureau, and also have to copy the office of the people's Government of Ji'nan and the Shandong Office of the Chinese Film Publishing Company for the record.
he took out an application report submitted to the Shandong Provincial Office of the Chinese Film Publishing Company in August 6, 1954. It said, "we have the Shandong Opera Troupe reacted in our hospital from 9 to twenty-three this month, and then report your company." Zheng Jiakun explained that from the return letter of the film publishing company, the copies of movie theaters were carefully planned, and the plan would be adjusted as soon as the cinema changed the projection schedule.
