1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 266 What a nice house!
"Brother Tian'er, what do you think of this plastic golden cat?!" The famous broker in the Beijing collection circle asked Xia Tian with a proud look on his face.

Xiatian put on a pair of white gloves, carefully picked up the fired ceramic cat, looked at it carefully, and looked at it with admiration!
If you come across something you like in the summer, you won’t be shy about it, and you won’t pretend. There’s no need to use such means to lower the price.

"Good! Good! Really good!" Xia Tian said three good words in a row!

"They say that mice are afraid of cats made by Wong Bing. They are truly extraordinary!"

The ceramic cats fired in this kiln are surprisingly lifelike!
At first glance, it looks vivid and lifelike, even the strands of shining hair on its body are extremely clear.

Huang Bing was a famous Shiwan pottery sculptor in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.

This "fetal hair" technique later became one of the characteristic skills of Shiwan pottery.

Shiwan pottery, represented by Huang Bingmao and others, has formed a strong local flavor because it is close to the people's livelihood and combines the tastes of literati and pastoral sentiments.

However, Shiwan is located in Foshan, Guangdong Province. The fact that such a thing can come to Yanjing shows that money really makes the world go round.

Xia Tian said to the man in front of him, "Since there are Shiwan pottery sculptures, there must be more than this one. Take them all out and let's take a look!"

"Oh! Brother Tian'er, you have a great eye! This is a Shiwan pottery sculpture. I brought you the best Huang Bing pottery cat! As for the others, I can only give you one more, after all, other buyers are interested in it too."

Xia Tian looked at him and said, "Okay!"

Whether he is making excuses or trying to take the opportunity to ask for money, so be it.

So, Xia Tian bought this ceramic cat and a ceramic lying duck by Huang Bing.

Very good, I haven’t bought such interesting things in a long time!
……

It is already November, the weather is getting colder, and people walking on the street are already wearing outer coats.

The work of the Red Mansions crew has completely entered the post-production editing and dubbing stage. Just dubbing the characters in the play and finding voice actors took a lot of effort.

Due to technical reasons, it was impossible to record the sound on site, so we had to do the dubbing later.

Dubbing is a technical job, so only a few actors dub their own characters.

For example, Liu Xianglian who played Xia Tian, ​​and the actor who played Yuan Yang studied broadcasting and dubbing, so he dubbed his own characters.

However, what Xia Tian didn't expect was that Xiren's voice actor was actually Jinguizi!
Sister Jinguizi Liu Chunyan is 20 years old this year, one year younger than Xia Tian!

The voice actor for Qingwen is Wang Xuechun, who is only 16 years old and comes from a family of broadcasters. She joined CCTV in 93 and hosted "Zhengda Variety Show" the following year. Later, she also served as the producer of Zhengda Variety Show.

They are not ordinary people!

There were also many problems that needed to be solved in editing, such as the scenes shot by Director Wang about Qin Zhong - the actor who played Qin Zhong was a female actress who played the role as a guest star.

But in the original novel, Qin Zhong's role is really difficult to be shown on TV - either he is having an affair with Long Yang or he is stealing a little nun.

So in the end, because the atmosphere did not support it, it was cut out, leaving only a long shot of Qin Zhong riding a horse during Qin Keqing's funeral.

I didn’t think much about it this summer - this isn’t the right time for these things, so don’t force it.

At this time, Wang Dao had completely relaxed and became the kind and silent elder.

He is often seen wearing glasses, sitting quietly at his desk, and no one knows what he is thinking about.

If it was Director Wang from the original time and space, he would probably be so anxious that he couldn't sleep and started losing his hair!
But I don’t know if it was infected by the summer, and now I’m starting to “lie down”.

Every day I hold a teacup and do my work step by step without thinking about anything else!
I don't know if this has gotten better or worse.
At this time, the whereabouts of many actors in the crew were also confirmed.

Dongfang was transferred from Jiangcheng Children's Art Theater to Yanjing, and now works in the Production Department of the TV Drama Production Center—he actually became a colleague of Dachun!
Originally, the crew wanted to reserve 5 places for Yanjing, but finally decided on 2 places, and the other one was given to Zhang Li.

Zhang Li has now also started her "internship" at CCTV.

Because Xia Tian had taken her to CCTV several times before and made her familiar to the public, most people still gave Xia Tian face.

Commander Yuan Meiyuan wrote to say that she went to the Guangdong Provincial TV Station.

She later starred in two famous southern TV series in the early 90s - "Public Relations Lady" and "Love in the Pearl River".

Shen Lin, who played Ping'er, went to the Guangdong Battle Flag Song and Dance Troupe.

Guo Xiaozhen was stuffed into the Shougang Art Troupe in the summer and became a colleague with Milan. The two of them became salary thieves together!
What made Xia Tian a little worried was Deng Jie.

Because of "Dream of the Red Chamber", she divorced and had problems with her work, so she stayed in Yanjing to make a living.

Xia Tian learned from Director Wang that she had not left but stayed in Yanjing. Then he rode his bicycle to look for Deng Jie.

Finally, Deng Jie’s temporary residence was found in a small room in a large courtyard.

The room was very small, with only a bed and an old table. There was not even a place to cook, so it was simply a place to stay at night.

Xia Tian waited for more than an hour before she came.

"sister!"

"Tian'er! Why are you here?"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Hey, I was just thinking, I'll tell you when things are stable!"

"Sister, I have an empty house that no one lives in now. I want to find someone to help look after it..."

"No, I don't need it..."

"Don't be so quick to refuse!" Xia Tian interrupted her.

"Sister, I know you are strong-willed, but you can't waste your brother's kindness."

"Also, I've already made an appointment with them. Tomorrow you should bring the information and go to the TV drama production center. Be a temporary actor first and plan it slowly." "How about it?" Xia Tian saw that she kept her head down and didn't speak.

Deng Jie raised her head and smiled: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Xia Tian started to help Deng Jie pack her things and let her live in Baihua Shenchu ​​first.

There is a yard over there that has been cleaned up - fortunately it hasn't been opened up yet, otherwise Milan would be very angry!
At this time, Xia Tian’s mentality quietly changed - as expected, the house is still so good!
……

After a simple packing, Xia Tian took Deng Jie home, met with others and had dinner together.

"Ah! Deng Jie!"

"Why didn't you tell us that you were staying in Yanjing?"

Xiaoxu had a very good relationship with Deng Jie. He was so happy to see Deng Jie, whom he thought had returned to Sichuan Province.

Five people can go shopping for groceries or cook, and have a good meal together!
Deng Jie joked: "Xiao Xu, why don't you show off your skills?"

Xiao Xu raised his chin: "I can cook, if you dare to eat, I dare to cook!"

The main point is that even if one is not right, one is still strong!
But they didn't dare let her cook in the summer, for fear of burning the pot!

Xia Tian raised his glass, "Cheers to our reunion~"

Several people raised their Arctic Ocean glasses and clinked them happily.

Deng Jie looked at Xia Tian and the other three girls carefully, feeling a little nervous: Although as an experienced person she had noticed something when she was on the crew, she didn't expect... that they were living together!

I don’t know if it was because she drank too much soda, but as someone who has experienced this, her face turned red.

After dinner, Xia Tian went to the kitchen to clean up the mess: "You guys chat, I'll wash the dishes today!"

While the four girls were chatting, Deng Jie saw a poster on the wall, "Wow! Xiao Xu really likes Teresa Teng!"

"Ah?" Xiao Xu waved his hand, "I didn't put it there."

Then she and Zhang Li looked at Milan. When they moved in, there was a picture of Teresa Teng on the wall.

And it looks like the poster is very old and a bit old.

But haven’t we only moved into this yard a few months ago?

Milan smiled, and her smile was meaningful: "This poster was originally posted on the wall of the house in the summer. When I moved, I carefully peeled it off and took it away and posted it on the new house."

Milan recalled that a few days ago, Theresa wrote to him and said that her global genuine album sales exceeded 3400 million copies!

More than 30 million! How many copies is that?!

It was a long time later that Xiaoxu and Zhang Li gradually guessed something through letters and packages from overseas.

Xiao Xu: Teresa Teng has a higher status in this family than the Kitchen God! The Kitchen God is replaced every year, but this poster of Teresa Teng has been posted for several years!
Milan: And this American brand backpack, it’s been worn out and turned white, but I’m still carrying it!
Later, when no one was around, Deng Jie asked Milan in a low voice, "Is that your idea?"

Milan smiled cunningly: "How about you come too?"

"If I don't come, what am I?" Deng Jie was so scared that she ran away quickly, fearing that Milan would let her live here.

Two days after making arrangements for Deng Jie, Xia Tian found a friend and started installing a telephone in the Beihai courtyard.

——It only cost 6500 and there was no need to queue.

Now, if you want to install a telephone, it depends on your rank. Only leading cadres at the department or bureau level or above can apply to have a telephone installed at home.

But now there are too few lines, and so many leaders in Yanjing can only wait in line. It is very common to use connections to find someone to approve the application.

It is common for the process to be delayed for several months to half a year!

There have been cases where some users have not installed a telephone for three to five years.

According to the recollections of a telephone installer: Before 85, ordinary residents could not afford to install telephones at all. On the one hand, the telephone lines were being "progressed" slowly, and on the other hand, the installation fees were too expensive.

In order to install the telephones earlier, many units provide cars to pick up and drop off the installers, and even give them a few boxes of cigarettes as a "thank you" gesture after their work is over.

The Post and Telecommunications Bureau has issued a regulation strictly prohibiting "taking bribes" and violators will be dismissed.

So it’s really not easy to install a phone nowadays.

Alas, everyone says that privileges are hateful, but many times we live in a society where human relationships are important and we have no choice.

The telephone installation fee at this time is quite expensive.

Until the early 1990s, installing a home telephone cost more than 3,000 yuan, when the average annual salary was less than 3,000 yuan!
Who would have thought that by the second decade of the 21st century, landline phones would fade out of people’s daily lives!

The phone was installed and everyone was very excited.

Xiaoxu and Zhangli queued up to call home.

Zhang Li: "Well, this phone was installed by the landlord. If you have any questions, just call this number... The landlord is a woman, three or four years older than me... Yes, Sister Milan, she is very nice to me."

Milan quietly came up to her and pinched Zhang Li's earlobe with her hand: Sister Lan, who is very good to you, touches your ear, it should be okay~
Zhang Li hung up the phone and rolled her eyes at Milan: "Female hooligan!"

"Hey, I was being nice to you just now, but now you're acting like a female hooligan. Xiaoxu, aren't you going to fight me?"

Xiao Xu: "I'll fight you after you leave!"

Xiao Xu: "Well, don't worry, Mom! Yes, the landlord is a woman, Sister Lan..."

This is something I learned right now!
