1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 218: Summer of 1985

On May 5, Mother's Day, Xia Tian sang her new song "Understanding You" at the Mother's Day Gala broadcast live on CCTV.

"... gave me all the love, gave me the world

From now on, I don't know the pain and joy in your heart
I want to be close to you

I tell you that I have always understood you..."

Then the next day, the newspaper said that in Xia's new album, there is a song called "Understanding You", dedicated to all mothers in the world~
Xia Tian: That’s enough! Stop it, stop it! I don’t want this cassock anymore~
Now he regretted very much that he had inspired that manager Chen Yang. He was really bold to fire him!
……

The crew of Journey to the West has returned to Beijing and will be filming at Badachu - the scene of the magic battle in Chechi Kingdom.

Xia Tian, ​​Da Chun, Milan and others went, and Xia Tian also brought Miss Qiu along.

We have to let Director Yang see Chang'e, right?

Director Yang was always critical of Xia Tian, ​​and now he gets angry whenever the studio is mentioned. However, he is still very satisfied with Miss Qiu.

"This is how Chang'e should be!"

Soon, the crew started filming.

Halfway through the shoot, Xia Tian felt something was wrong.

He found Director Yang and said, "Auntie, this is not right!"

"What's wrong?"

"The prop is wrong. That 'Raggedy River Lost a Bell' is not a real bell!"

It's the part where Monkey King guesses things through the cabinet. In the original book, Monkey King turns the "Sheji Coat" and "Geography Skirt" into "a bell".

The props team actually prepared a broken little bell!

"It's not a real bell. A bell is a sleeveless outer garment with no slits on the left or right, like a cloak. It is called a bell because it looks like a bell when worn on the body."

Xia Tian laughed: "In the 36th chapter of Journey to the West, it is mentioned that some monks in Baolin Temple 'wore robes the size of a bell'. It is natural to turn expensive clothes into rags, but it is not logical to turn them into bronze bells!"

"Really?" Director Yang believed it, but he was stubborn.

Xia Tian: "How could I lie to you about this?"

"Okay, I'll give you credit for this. The incident at the photo studio is over!"

Xia Tian: Ah, you still remember it?
Director Yang quickly asked someone to change the props, and was glad in his heart that he was discovered by this brat, otherwise it would be so embarrassing!

……

"Have you thought about it?" Xia Tian asked.

Sitting opposite him were Fang Yan and Ye Jing.

The two of them smoked their cigarettes one by one, with indifferent yet a bit mysterious expressions on their faces.

Last year, the two of them worked as "smugglers" on and off in Guangzhou. They suffered a lot of losses and were exposed to many hardships. It was like a child going out to a big city for the first time to face the beatings of society.

Now the child is back, looking as if he wants to say something but is hesitant.

I didn’t make any money, but I did gain a lot of “experience”.

Li Bailing and the others were still struggling over there. Xia Tian didn't know exactly what had happened, but it was obvious that the "small business group" had broken up.

Capital will alienate people...it has been said in books a long time ago.

But Xia Tian didn't expect that the relationship between the three people would end in this way~
And now, they told Xia Tian that they wanted to close the restaurant.

Tianfu Restaurant was very profitable at first, but later it became unprofitable.

After the two of them started running around, not paying much attention, and even rarely showing up, the restaurant started to lose money.

Although I have been there several times in the summer, I cannot be their hotel manager, and I simply cannot take care of many daily management aspects.

Just shut it down. It's better to shut it down. It was expected a long time ago.

"So what are you two planning to do?" Xia Tian asked.

They both quit their jobs.

Ye Jing's neck stiffened: "I'll try again, run again! I want to see what different places are like!"

Fangyan put out his cigarette: "I want to write a novel, so I'll use our experiences during this period as a blueprint..."

"Well, you are talented."

Facing Xia Tian's compliments, Fang Yan waved his hand shyly. Although he is not stingy, he is also thin-skinned. You see, people are really complicated.

…On May 5, at the Yanjing Workers' Stadium, the Chinese team faced the Hong Kong team in their final World Cup qualifier match.

Before that, they had the halo of the Asian Cup runner-up and beat the Hong Kong team 6:0.

It seems that there are still many weak teams left for the Chinese team.

So the fans were very optimistic and started popping champagne before the game even started.

Feng Kuzi also wants to invite Xia Tian to go to the event with him - he will pay for the tickets.

Xia Tian waved his hands: I won’t go even if you give me money!

The goal set before the game was to beat Hong Kong 4:0.

The head coach asked the players to score a goal within 15 minutes of the start of the game.

So the more than 7 fans in Gongti are ready to celebrate the victory~
After 90 minutes, the whole stadium was in dead silence.

Because the Chinese national football team lost 1:2.

After a brief silence, it exploded~
According to Pants's dancing and gesticulations the next day, it was a place with flags waving, drums and gongs beating, and huge crowds of people - heads rolling!

All of a sudden, soda bottles, horns, fruit peels and other objects that could be thrown flew from the stands onto the players' heads and bodies - just like Plants vs. Zombies!

Many fans even attacked the Xiangjiang team players and overturned the bus they were riding on. They can't afford to lose.
There are also angry fans who smash cars outside the stadium, pull drivers out and beat them up, and even the bus conductors are not spared, who cares if you are a laborer or not, or if you are pretty or not...

I heard from a CCTV friend in the summer that a Reuters reporter in Yanjing was about to leave when he saw the situation. A bunch of fans surrounded him and yelled, "Who is better? China? Or Hong Kong? If you answer wrong, I'll kill you!"

This may be the earliest fatal question in China after the reform and opening up.
Uncle Hat finally took away 127 people, and 2 people were sentenced to be gangster Z.

These two people became the earliest football hooligans in China.

Agence France-Presse said maliciously: China has finally begun to catch up with the world. It is talking about football hooligans~
When Pants was describing the story, he was so excited that his saliva was flying all over the place: "You don't know, it's so exciting!"

In the summer, he was just pretending to like football, but he really liked watching the fun! You fake fan~
Not only Milan Dachun and his friends came to listen to Pants bragging, but many friends also came.

Because today is the day that summer's album is released.

……

A large group of people blocked the store, and more than a dozen hands stretched out from the gaps in the crowd, holding banknotes and poking at the salesperson's face!

The sales staff who used to be arrogant were now sweating profusely. If someone dared to be so rude under normal circumstances, they would definitely have started scolding!

But who dares now?
There are so many people here, if they get angry, they might as well tear down the store!
At this time, the counter had increased to five people, but they were simply unable to handle the work. The counter was even tilted by the crowd!

"Comrade, give me a summer album! That is, "Summer of 1985"! No, give me two!"

"Don't push! The counter is so crowded that no one can buy anything!"

"Give me ten plates!"

"No! The higher-ups have stipulated that each person is limited to buying two plates... Get in line! Get in line!"

Fortunately, the manager was very experienced. He didn't show up, so when he saw that the situation was not good, he asked the man in the hat to maintain order.

But with so many people, they were still busy until noon, and a small number of people still hadn’t bought anything, but it was out of stock!

"I'm so sorry, so sorry! The tapes are sold out! I'll send someone to stock them up now, but they won't arrive until tomorrow morning at the earliest. I'm so sorry, so sorry..."

"Why? I waited in line for two hours! You won't buy it?!"

"It's out of stock! It's not that I don't want to buy it! I've sold all the ones I kept!"

Fortunately, there is Uncle Hat, otherwise the situation would be disastrous.

It’s because the manager saw that the situation was not right and limited the purchase of two plates per person. Otherwise, scalpers would buy ten or twenty plates at a time, and most people would not be able to buy them.

This situation happened in thirty or forty stores selling tapes in Yanjing.

Brother Liu from the publishing house is very courageous. In order to prevent piracy and to make the data look good, he directly distributed the products to major cities in the north and several large coastal cities, and they are on sale at the same time today!
Xia Tian signed a "betting agreement" with their audio-visual publishing house, stating that if the tape sales were less than 50 copies, he would not receive any compensation.

But if it exceeds the limit, each tape will be sold at 6.8 yuan, and the first batch will have 80 tapes. And I will get 1.1 yuan per tape.
It's just a way of saying it. Isn't this an innovative way to find a way to bet?
There has never been a revenue sharing exercise for releasing a music album before. In order to reduce the pressure in certain aspects, let me give you a reasonable method - betting is a good way to say it!
Journey to the West short story:

A student once asked the teacher: "Why is there such a dark and evil country like the Lion Country at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, where Buddhism flourishes?"

The teacher thought for a moment and replied: "I think you are from Hebei, so you should understand this question."

There is a poem praising it:

The three giants on the Lion Camel Ridge formed an oath of brotherhood and wanted to imprison the Great Sage.

If it weren’t for the Tripitaka system, the Journey to the West would have ended here.
