Although Du Xiaoshu marked a location on the map, neither Zhong Xiaoyong nor Ma Xiaojun had confidence in this place.

Their Dong Ge has already said that Normandy is a crowd, or a place, there are not many restaurants, and the crowd is all kinds of people, but it is really lively.

Finally, at night, a group of naughty kids started to dress themselves up, saying that they were dressing up, but in fact they just washed their faces and comb their hair. The T-shirts on their bodies were still smelling of sweat.

"Spray some flower dew, hey, where are you spraying it?" Du Xiaoshu was unhappy when he watched Ma Xiaojun spray the flower dew on Zhong Xiaoyong's face. He raised his arm, "It's this, here, do you understand, here!"

"There are always spraying this in the movie," Du Xiaoshu "educated" his friends, "Tonight, everyone should pay attention, there is a place that pays attention to the tone..."

He looked at his T-shirt and suddenly thought of the blind date for older youth that year. At that time, he rode his shoulder to attend on time every night, storm and rain.

At that time, he was wearing his father's yori shirt and tried his best to plunder three pens and put them in his top pocket...

But Zhong Xiaoyong and Ma Xiaojun looked at each other, and the few naughty children in Zhongjiawa behind him showed knowing smiles on their faces. They also remembered that summer night when they followed Du Xiaoshu to the park that had not yet been completed and sang a small song and received tips...

Those days really come over and never come back again because they have all grown up!

Du Xiaoshu drove Qin Dong's Santana, Ma Xiaojun took another taxi with a few dudes and headed straight for the "Normandy" marked on the map by Du Xiaoshu.

"Nanjing East Road?"

Sitting in the car, Zhong Xiaoyong looked out the window while holding the map, "Little Tree, is it the tall building with huge billboards?"

It was once the tallest building in Shanghai and also the Qichongtian Hotel, where celebrities gathered.

"It's it." Du Xiaoshu snapped his fingers loudly.

"It's it?" Zhong Xiaoyong looked at the tall building, then looked at the bustling passenger flow around the tall building, "Is this Normandy in Shanghai?"

"Are you?" Du Xiaoshu finally couldn't help but get angry because of Zhong Xiaoyong from yesterday to today. "Normandy is not a place, not a human, but a dance hall, a dance hall in Shanghai..."

ballroom?

Now it was Zhong Xiaoyong's turn to be stunned, "How could it be a dance hall?" But this is also a smart child. He immediately understood that someone in the dance hall is called a dance hall. Whenever he is active, he will be thirsty. If he is thirsty, he will drink water, soda, and beer!

"Xiaoshu, are you here to visit by yourself?" Ma Xiaojun and others got out of the car. Everyone looked up at the tallest building in Shanghai at this time, and sighed.

Prime location, historical heritage, and professional level. After the opening of the Qichongtian Dance Hall, not only did it prosper, but it even became a model for many foreign media to introduce to readers the reform and opening up of China at that time:

nhk, "Asakhi Shimbun" and many British, American, French, Hong Kong and Taiwan have visited and reported.

The dance hall was also rated as a spiritual civilization dance hall by the city and district cultural system because of its regular operation and good atmosphere. Yes, you read that right, the dance hall was also one of the carriers of spiritual civilization, in the 1990s!

"Let's go, Shanghai people love to dance." Du Xiaoshu blinked and took the lead in walking into the Qichongtian Hotel.

Speaking of dancing, whether it is "single and open" or "sneaky", the entertainment and social activity of dancing has never completely disappeared from the lives of Shanghai people.

In the late 1970s when the reform and opening up just now, some bold dance fans began to organize dance parties spontaneously. Among the participants were Lao Kele, who had experienced the "Ten Miles of Foreign Field, Singing and Dance to Peace", as well as young people who were curious about this new thing.

However, history always advances through exploration and develops through twists and turns.

This sounds old nonsense is very appropriate in the dance industry in Shanghai in the 1980s.

In June 1980, when folk dances were in full swing, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Culture jointly issued the "Notice on the Closing of Spontaneous Dances in Commercial Dances and Public Places". People's dance steps scattered in a short time...

It’s like the Huangpu River running eastward, and the people’s dancing steps can’t stop. If you can’t dance on the table, then just dance quietly.

The above quickly realized this: in 1984, the Central Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Culture, and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Dances". Although the notice emphasized that the main theme still had to be strictly controlled, after all, it was considered a gap compared to the complete ban.

The real change happened in 1987.

Thanks to the strong promotion of Wang Meng, who returned to serve as Minister of Culture the year before, in February of that year, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Public Security, and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce jointly issued the "Notice on Improving the Management of Dances", which clearly pointed out that holding commercial dances is an objective need for my country's economic development and the increasing material and cultural living standards of the people.

Since then, dancing has finally gotten rid of the moral stigma that it has always been carrying. After the 1920s and 1930s, Shanghai once again ushered in the opening climax of the dance hall.

Conservatively estimated that by the end of 1991, Shanghai had more than 2,000 dance halls and music teahouses, ranking first in the country.

At this time, the people who were releasing passion and romance in the dance hall may not realize that their beating steps have stepped out of the rhythm of the city of Shanghai towards the 21st century.

"Do you know how hot it is?"

Du Xiaoshu didn't know where he got a sunglasses, and put them on his nose at night. At first glance, he thought it was..., as if he was taking a group of Liu Laolao to the Grand View Garden, and he proudly introduced, "It's the off-season for dancing in Shanghai, but we have to queue up to enter the venue. Do you understand? You have to queue up to dance!"

How popular was the Shanghai dance hall in the 1990s?

The Qichongtian Ballroom on the 7th floor of Qichongtian Hotel, No. 627 Nanjing East Road, may be a model. This old dance hall, which opened as early as the 1930s, returned brilliantly in 1988, and the accompaniment was a professional musician from the Shanghai Radio and Television Art Troupe.

For dance fans in the 1980s, there are actually off-seasons and peak seasons for dancing. The so-called peak season is spring, autumn, and winter. The off-season is summer. The reason why the off-season is light is completely related to the weather. At this time, the popularity of air-conditioning equipment in Shanghai, both in terms of the popularity and cooling effect are incomparable to later generations.

Therefore, in summer, many dance halls with poor air conditioning effects will place several floor-standing electric fans around the dance floor to cool down. However, even so, the meat is filled with air and the sour smell of sweat is still "scented", which is disgusting.

Sure enough, there was a long queue at the entrance of the dance hall.

Zhong Xiaoyong touched Han Jinjin's head, "Xiaoshu, when did you touch this?"

Du Xiaoshu thief smiled, but did not answer him.

He looked at the long dragon in front of him, and there were people dressed up in all kinds of clothes, such as big bosses, beauties, literary youths, hooligans, and pop singers who were not as popular as ever.

But everyone was well-dressed, and the ladies were almost all floral dresses, and the men were dressed in shirts and trousers, just like the few of them were wearing shirts and shorts, and no one paid attention to them.
