1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 272: Journey to the West

By the time I came out of the mall carrying several bags, it was almost 10 o'clock.

Instead of going home directly, the three of them went to the nearest Xinhua Bookstore.

Isn’t this the new album that will be released this summer? He doesn’t really care about it.

But the three girls still care about it. Even though they got the tape yesterday and listened to it several times, they still want to see how it sells.

It turned out that the Xinhua Bookstore was still a long way away - when I could just see the sign, I couldn't walk past it.

A large number of young people were queuing and talking and laughing, it was really lively!
It’s so cold, but it feels like a temple fair!
And there was that young man, wearing a leather jacket, carrying a large tape recorder, playing summer songs in the crowd!

There was more than one, there were several groups of people around, and they were all singing different songs!

When the three of them saw this situation, they didn’t need to look any further and just went home!
Try new clothes~
At that time, the feedback of information was not so fast, so it was not clear how many new albums were sold on the first day.

But some bookstores, newsstands and other places in Yanjing City were very lively.

Many bookstores have restocked their stocks - because we were confident about summer, we ordered a lot of goods, but it still wasn't enough!
Brother Liu, the leader of the audio-visual publishing house, couldn't stop smiling.

I have achieved such great results in less than two years since I took office. It will be easy to take the next step!
The next day, several local newspapers in Yanjing published news about Xia Tian's new album selling well.

There were also many news reports from other places about this matter.

Just from the buying craze on the first day and the extremely high reputation, we can tell that this summer wave is sure to be here!
Many of his peers were very jealous - Xia Tian was sure of his ability to continue selling well!

At the same time, my colleagues were also excited - I can give it a try too!
However, there is no time to care about these things in summer.

What he cares more about is the TV series "Journey to the West" which will be broadcast today!
At 7:45 in the evening, Xia Tian and the other four were sitting in front of the TV. They had just finished watching the "News Broadcast" when they heard the music of "Ding ding ding ding, ding ding ding ding...diu diu diu~"!

"Cloud Palace Swift Sound"!
This music has remained in everyone’s mind for forty years since then!

As soon as the music started, it seemed as if I saw the monkey!

Soon, "The Birth of the Monkey King" was finished, and at the end of the show, "Where is the Way" sung by Xia Tian was played.

"You carry the load, I lead the horse ~ We welcome the sunrise and see off the sunset..."

Many people in Yanjing in front of the TV smiled knowingly when they heard Xia Tian's voice.
Then, start the advertisement~
Two episodes are broadcast a day, each episode is about 45 minutes long. After the first episode is broadcast, there will be a five-minute advertisement~
This five-minute advertisement will be sold at a high price!
Xia Tian came up with the idea, but he told the director of the advertising department, "Don't ever tell anyone that it was my idea!"

The second episode "Officially Appointed as the Horse Keeper" has also been aired. This time the ending song is different, it is still "The Avenue to Heaven is Wide and Broad" sung by Xia Tian!
"I just captured a few monsters, and subdued a few more demons. Why are there so many demons and monsters!"

This time the style of the song is more popular~
……

The next day, Xia Tian went to CCTV, and the staff told Xia Tian that the ratings of the first two episodes of "Journey to the West" were over 85%!

It is conceivable that as the show continues to air, the ratings will continue to rise!

This time, there is the version of "Journey to the West" that Xia Tian strongly promoted, and forty-five episodes were filmed in four years!

That’s a few more episodes than the original 25 episodes + 16 sequels!
Even the people at the TV station thought that with the broadcast of "Journey to the West", some families might go out of their way to buy a TV set!
Xia Tian originally thought that the broadcast of "Journey to the West" would definitely suppress the discussion of his new album. He would stop counting how much money he made every day! How scary!

In the end, nothing happened~
On the contrary, because Xia Tian sang several songs in "Journey to the West" - two ending songs, the interlude "The Great Sage's Song" in the third episode "The Monkey King Makes Trouble in Heaven", etc., it actually boosted the discussion!

Before, there were only some colleagues who sang popular songs, and they thought “they could replace me”, and the newspapers also discussed sales and popularity.

But after these songs came out, professionals, such as professors of bel canto at music conservatories, started to come out to discuss Xia Tian’s voice, techniques, and singing style!

Finally, the group of people discussed it and came to the conclusion: You are a beautiful woman, why do you become a thief?

How vulgar is popular fashion? If you have time, come to our school and I guarantee you will be the best in the palace of elegance!
I feel so cool during this summer, I wear a hat, glasses and mask when I go out!

I don't even dare to buy breakfast, for fear of being followed.
He spent every day hiding in the Forbidden City as part of the crew of "The Last Emperor".

At this time, Ms. Chen Chong hated it even more!
Seeing this man earn so much money again, it feels more painful than being stabbed a few times!

Sometimes I wonder if I should try harder and show my charm!

But Xia Tian really doesn’t have her in his eyes!

She felt that in Xia Tian's eyes, she was no different from those staff members!
I am a noble American? ! ! !

...Milan walked into the courtyard holding a copy of "Popular Movies". Instead of returning to her east wing, she came to the west wing with a smile on her face.

It was afternoon and Zhang Li had not yet finished get off work. Xiao Xu was reviewing his high school textbooks alone with a slight frown on his brows.

"Xiao Xu!" Milan called.

"Huh? Lanlan, you're back~" Xiaoxu smiled.

"I got this month's issue of Popular Movies, and I saw a female star who looks exactly like you!"

"Really?!" Xiao Xu was a little surprised.

Then Milan handed Xiaoxu this year's 12th issue of "Popular Movies".

Xiao Xu took a look and saw a woman wearing yellow clothes and long curly hair on the cover. He didn't know her.

“That’s not like me!” she said.

Milan pushed her: "Look at the back cover, I'm talking about the actress on the back cover!"

Xiaoxu turned over and looked at the back cover. There was a foreign actress on it?
Xiao Xu: Huh? I look like her?!

This pretty American actress is wearing a tight-fitting indigo dress...

Milan pointed to the back cover and said, "Look, you are all about the same age~"

It turns out that what she said was that this American actress has the same body shape as Xiao Xu~
Xiao Xu: "...Ah!!! I'm going to tear your mouth off! Stop~"

While having dinner in the evening, Xia Tian noticed that Xiao Xu was a little depressed.

After dinner, Milan said to Xia Tian: "Please try to persuade Xiao Xu. She seems angry."

"Because of what?"

"Maybe it's because I said she was small~"

"what?"

"Just kidding. I think she might be a little stressed out lately!"

"Why are you stressed? What's going on?"

"It may be the pressure of reviewing textbooks..." Milan reached out and touched Xia Tian's face, "It may also be your pressure."

Xia Tian was stunned: "My pressure?" What kind of pressure do I have? !
Milan said: "You are so outstanding that Lily and Xiaoxu are under a lot of pressure~"

"This……"

After a while, Milan called Zhang Li into her room and gave Xia Tian a wink.

Xia Tian slipped into the west wing.

"I heard you're a little stressed?"

"Nonsense! I don't feel any pressure! Go away! I still need to review!"

Xia Tian pulled Xiao Xu's shoulders over and attacked him!
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Milan looked out the window and saw that Xia Tian had returned to her room, so she said to Zhang Li, "Well, that's all~"

Zhang Li looked at her with some confusion. She always felt that it was not right that she called her over to talk about some irrelevant things.

Milan added: "By the way, Xia Tian also wants to see you for something, come over!"

Zhang Li went to the main hall where Xia Tian was, and soon ran back with a red face.

Milan: Oh~ Xiaoxu always feels that his English is not good, not as good as Zhang Li. Zhang Li's English was taught by Xia Tian mouth-to-mouth~
Silly boy, you have to work harder.
