1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 220: Theresa
Although it may be a little difficult to understand, it is definitely not completely incomprehensible to the old Paladin about some of Xia Tian’s hidden thoughts in "The Calabash Brothers".

Because this kind of thing is global.

Not only have we begun to develop this problem now, but the Americans are even more advanced in this regard.

Don’t Americans want that card?
Then there were the one million dollar electric trolleys, the ninety thousand dollar bag of screws, the five hundred dollar coffee pots, the helicopters that crashed during the audit...

Others play much harder!
Don't they have other means like making things difficult for others and spreading rumors?
This is a common human trait!
So now, when old Pai Luo reads "Calabash Brothers", he is very interested. He even takes out a dictionary and translates in great detail every word that he may not fully understand.

The more I watch it, the more I understand it!

"Oh, Tian'er, although I knew you drew comics before, I didn't expect them to be so... profound! In those published texts, you have never satirized reality so hard!"

Xia Tian shrugged: "The comics are not strictly regulated..."

Besides, I write short stories in English to make some money or to vent my inspiration. Why do I have to write something so profound?
I can’t even cry at my own grave, so how can I have time to cry at the mass graves in America!

In addition to comics, Old Palo also bought several tapes of summer albums, planning to take them back as gifts for his wife and children, and also to collect a few!
Especially the songs "Xintianyou" and "Chi Lechuan", which made him feel that their styles were extremely special and he was quite obsessed with them.

But with his voice, it's better for him not to sing~
Now the summer album "Summer of 1985" has become a hit!

On the streets you can hear young people in trendy clothes, carrying huge tape recorders on their shoulders, playing summer albums, and staggering through the streets.

If this had happened two years ago, some old men and women with red armbands would probably have rushed out to fight you, but this situation has become less common now.

First, the old men and women are a little unable to work, and the young people don’t respect the old comrades very much and don’t give in to them at all.

Second, there are too many young people like this and it is becoming difficult to manage them.

Besides, they don’t pay much attention to this aspect now, but instead discuss things like “going into the sea”, “health care”, “qigong” and so on.

Sometimes in the summer I would think that the world is changing so fast. Many times, it seems like just a moment of trance and you feel that everything is completely different.

It wasn’t like this a few years ago!
However, if you tell others about this, they will advise you: You have to get rid of your F thinking. What time is it now? Only by getting rid of your F thinking can you get rid of your F productivity.
It’s only been a week since the album was released, but summer songs are being sung everywhere.

I even heard someone singing "I Understand You" at a performance on the radio in the summer!

Xia Tian: No, you should at least tell me!

Fortunately, although there are many pirated products now, there are not many that we can produce ourselves.

In addition, the publisher Liu Ge was bold and released "Summer of 1985" in half of China, taking care of the large market. So it did not affect the sales of genuine copies.

But since it sells so well, there must be some serious problems.

The hundreds of thousands of royalties from summer have already made many people feel uneasy, and now there are hundreds of thousands of album shares to be shared, which is really eye-catching!
This is also the reason why Xia Tian is unwilling to work in the mainland, as there are too many constraints.

If I were a young man in my twenties, I would have done something earth-shaking long ago, so why would I care about you!
But he is already an old man who has lived several lives~
You can have fun outside, but at home, you must be safe!

"Old Palo, how is the US stock market preparing? How many times of leverage does the financial manager we hired plan to use?"

……

Milan came back in the evening. She was going to the yard in Houhai after get off work to check on the progress of the construction, so she would be back a little later.

When she entered the house, the food was already prepared. Xia Tian fried two side dishes, bought some snacks, and prepared a few bottles of beer - only half of the bottle was hers, the rest were Milan's.

During this period, I had to deal with some jealous colleagues at the newspaper, handle some issues at the audio-visual publishing house, accompany old Palo around to discuss things for a few months, and was even called to sing a few songs on a stage.

——I was invited by Auntie Deng, so I definitely couldn’t refuse. Besides, the people present were of very high rank~
Milan had to take care of some trivial matters, such as manuscripts, magazines, letters, parcels, etc., and now she also needs to go to the "construction site as a supervisor". She is very tired every day.

Tomorrow is the weekend, so I'll have two drinks today to enjoy myself~ and have a good rest~
"Wow! It smells so good!" Milan picked up a pig ear and put it into his mouth.

"The yard will be finished soon, in just two days," she said while chewing.

"Oh right! Here, Theresa got an email~" She put a small package on the table. Xiatian ignored the package and served Milan a meal and filled the cold beer~
"Thank you for your hard work these days. Cheers~" Xia Tian drank a quarter of a cup~
After the meal was finished with laughter, Milan asked Xia Tian to unpack the package and washed the dishes himself.

Xiatian sat on a chair, looking at the increasing number of things around him, and thought it was time to move.

I carefully opened the package with a knife and found two letters, several records, tapes and a magazine inside.

Xia Tian looked at her poster on the wall. How come she wrote to him so soon? Usually she wrote to him once every few months.

The two letters were written at different times. Sometimes she wanted to write a letter, but she also knew that she couldn't contact too frequently, so she would mail several letters together.

The records and tapes were not hers, but popular music from Europe, America and Japan.

And that magazine is from Japan.

"attic"?!

Huh? This is a famous pornographic magazine called Penthouse, the main competitor of Playboy. This is the Japanese version.

When I opened it in the summer, I found an exclusive interview with Xiao Deng, with eight pages introducing her musical achievements!
At this time, Milan walked over with her hand sideways. She saw the colorful magazine from a distance. She leaned in to take a look and immediately forgot about Xia Tian!

"Hey! This? This is Teresa Teng! Where did this good thing come from? Theresa is so kind!"

summer:……

Xia Tian didn’t know what to say when he saw her acting like a pervert.

Although this magazine is more on the shy side, the photos she took are quite conservative... Although she is 28 years old, she exudes a mature charm, which is very different from her previous sweet image.

Xia Tian looked at the posters on the wall.

……

On the 27th of this month, the authorities issued the "Decision on Reform of the Education System."

It was proposed that higher education could recruit a small number of self-funded students outside the plan, and students should pay a certain amount of training fees. This started the dual-track system of higher education fees.

Before this, higher education had always been free and college students were truly the chosen ones.

In 85, the number of graduates with college degrees or above was just over 260 million, of which less than 129 million were ordinary undergraduate graduates.

Thirty years later, in the "Rider Employment Report" released by Meituan, in 23, Meituan had more than 1700 million delivery boys, more than 80% of whom had college degrees or above, of which undergraduates accounted for nearly 20%~
At the end of the month, Pierre Cardin held a large fashion show at the Workers' Stadium and invited Xia Tian to participate. More than 10,000 people watched the fashion show.

He has finally established a firm foothold in this ancient land.

On June 6, the chief engineer shocked the world with a simple gesture of his finger - a cut of 4 million troops.

After the founding of the country, our soldiers were reorganized from 550 million to 400 million.

As a result, the Korean Peninsula War and in order to cope with the pressure from the United States and the Soviet Union gradually expanded in scale.

By the 610s, it had grown to about million, making it the largest army in the world.

The number was too large, and the situation was not that tense. Although the Southeast was still fighting the monkeys, it was a local rotation war at that time.

Therefore, this move is imperative.

In fact, from 81 to 84, the General Engineering Department withstood pressure from all sides and cut railway and infrastructure... and streamlined more than 200 million employees.

At the conference, he resolutely put forward the important conclusion that "it is possible that a large-scale world war will not occur for a long time." He also made the decision to reduce the number of military personnel by 100 million...
