1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 282 Commercial Performance, Acquaintance~
The pilot episode of Red Mansions was very good.

The official authorities gave a positive response, the experts remained silent, and the general public said it was well filmed - I thought it was beautiful myself, and I hope to see all of it soon!
It even led to a wave of hot sales for the books of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

There are also more and more articles in newspapers and magazines commenting on and analyzing "Dream of the Red Chamber".

I haven't even started working officially yet, but I've already seen several articles.

In the summer, I took advantage of this time to celebrate the New Year with my elders and friends. I had several meals alone!
For example, when we went to Kuzi's house, Kuzi's sister and mother treated Xia Tian to lunch, and the food conditions seemed to be much better.

After all, the brother and sister now have good jobs, and their mother herself has not retired yet.

This time when Xia Tian went there, he felt that Ding Sitian's gaze was different from before - after asking about the pants, he said to Xia Tian with a sad and complaining look on his face: "You don't take the initiative... My sister is now with that fat guy Wang."

Pants felt so miserable: Even if you have Milan, my sister won’t mind! At least I don’t mind!
It can be seen that he is not so satisfied with Wang Shengli!
When I visited Fatty Wang and Lao Hu in the summer, I asked about them.

Fatty Wang is still embarrassed!

While Lao Hu was serving the dishes, Fatty Wang whispered to Xia Tian, ​​"Tian'er, let me tell you something! Lao Hu has been having a hot relationship with a woman from America lately! I'm really worried that he's been tricked by the ambitious American wolves!"

"American bitch?"

"Yeah! It seems that the Chinese in the United States left their families before the founding of the country and were born there."

"what is it call?"

"What's your name, Xueli Yang?"

"Cough!!!" Xia Tian suddenly coughed.

Fatty Wang brought him a tissue and asked, "What's wrong with you? You can choke even when drinking soda?"

"it's okay no problem!"

Xia Tian: I didn’t expect that Shirley Yang would really come? Now “Ghost Blows Out the Light” has become a realistic novel!
……

Xia Tian also went to He Yuzhu's appointment, and He Chen and Lou Xiao'e came from Hong Kong. They had a meal together and reminisced about the past.

And Lou Xiao'e wanted to ask Xia Tian about his views on investments in Hong Kong and Japan - seeing that the profits were a bit too high, she was getting a bit restless!

Xia Tian: Hold on! The Japanese yen will still be in good shape for two years. When that happens, just listen to my instructions!
"The rich second generation in Hong Kong? No problem, let them follow you, but don't get too involved with them. Some of them are ruthless and ruthless!"

Later in the summer, I went to see Mr. Zhu Youguang again. He looked a bit old, but he was still working and had not retired.

After all, the work at Rongbaozhai was his specialty and hobby, and the work was also leisurely.

I go fishing on weekends. Although the fish in the river are usually not very giving, I always have to pick some aquatic plants to cover the fish bucket, which results in the fish tank at home being filled with aquatic plants.

Xia Tian accompanied him for lunch and went fishing for an afternoon. We had a great catch. We went back to the alley and knocked on every door, feeling very proud!

There is also Mr. Sun, who I learned ventriloquism from in the summer, but he has retired.

It's just that there's nothing to do after retirement, so now I'm doing some ventriloquism, juggling and magic tricks for the public under the overpass with a few old friends. It's considered to be something to do.

Later in the summer, I went to visit the grave of Mr. Ma, who taught Peking Opera. As the situation was tense at the time, Mr. Ma wanted to keep everything simple and hold a modern farewell ceremony.

Burn some paper for him this time, what if he needs it later?! After all, times have changed again...

Coach Liu Anxi, who was in charge of the martial arts class at the Children's Palace, is no longer a coach. He is now training new members in the city's martial arts team.

Now it is Wang Tiezhu, my junior brother who was in the martial arts class at the Children's Palace that summer, the one who said "the world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing", who is teaching the martial arts class.

He always brags to his students about the glorious achievements of his senior brother - the more he brags, the more outrageous it becomes, almost catching up with American comic book superheroes!

"It's a pity that I've never met anyone as talented as you, not even half as talented as you!" Coach Liu seemed to feel a little regretful that Xia Tian didn't follow the path of becoming a martial arts master.

Xia Tian told him: "I have thought of another way to promote martial arts!"

In the summer, I also went to the homes of Director Yang Jie and Director Wang Fulin to wish them a happy new year and give them some gifts.

Then he went to the post office and mailed a large box of specialties from the south, along with a letter to his elder brother Aruhhan, who was at Chifeng and Hongshan Military Horse Farms in Inner Mongolia.

The supplies at the horse farm are quite abundant, but they probably don't often see specialties from the south, such as dried bamboo shoots and ham. You can try some of them.

In the summer, I also went to Liu Ge's Audio-Visual Publishing House. Liu Ge revealed that he would be transferred to Culture B in the first half of this year.

At Maxim's, Xia Tian had a drink with Zun Long and Sister Song and talked about the filming progress of "The Last Emperor".

The filming will be completed in the first few months of this year.

Zunlong said he likes this place very much and wants to come back in the future...

I bought a lot of things in the summer and rode my bike to Li Kuiyong's house.

As it turned out, there happened to be a guest at his house - Li Kuiyong's early friend, named Zhong Yuemin, who is now the manager of Zhengrong Group.

The two of them got to know each other and the three of them had a meal together.

Xia Tian also called old Palo across the sea to wish him a happy new year.

The last place Xia Tian went was Deng Jie's place.

Deng Jie returned to Beijing from her hometown on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, living in a courtyard surrounded by flowers.

"Jiejie~ Why are you back so early? Why don't you stay at home for a few more days?"

Deng Jie looked helpless: "It's boring to stay at home, why not come back?"

Isn't she divorced and single? She is being urged to get married and introduced to a date at home! She is so fed up!
The two chatted for a long time, and Deng Jie also mentioned that someone had recently asked her to "go on a business trip".
"Oh, you don't know, a lot of people are looking for us now! We can get dozens or even hundreds of dollars for singing a song!"

Nowadays, many "folk" singers and stars make money by performing at commercial events.

"It seems that Dream of Red Mansions is really popular!" Xia Tian nodded.

No matter what others say, if you have commercial value, you will naturally become popular.

This is the most direct and true proof.

Deng Jie also asked: "Someone asked me, Xiaoxu and Zhang Li to go too, saying that we would be paid 100 yuan for singing one or two songs. What do you think?" Xia Tian said: "If you are free, go."

"Then I call Xiaoxu and the others?"

"Xiao Xu, you can try. I'm afraid Zhang Li won't go."

"Okay, I'll try it!"

"Be careful, stay within Yanjing and don't go far."

"Of course, I still have to go to work!"

When leaving, Deng Jie took the coat off the hanger and carefully put it on Xia Tian. She also helped him adjust his scarf: "It's snowing, the road is slippery. Ride slowly~"

"Well! Go back. I'll come back when I have time."

Watching Xia Tian’s figure gradually disappearing in the snow, Deng Jie suddenly covered her face - why did it feel weird?

In the next few days, Deng Jie and Xiao Xu went to restaurants, bars, weddings and funerals to perform for commercials.

They are considered the main actors of "A Dream of Red Mansions", with 100 to 150 people appearing in each performance!
As for Chen Li, that was 300! Top star!

Deng Jie was still surprised: "Xiao Xu, you look very good recently!"

Xiao Xu: "Really? Maybe it's because of the Chinese New Year!"

Deng Jie was an experienced person, so she understood it after a quick thought. After all, she had already noticed the signs when she was on the crew.

Deng Jie: What about Zhang Li...how does she look like?
You can't think about this too much, or you'll blush!
Xiao Xu came back and told Xia Tian that he was imitating Deng Jie: "Look at Deng Jie! As soon as she got home, she checked the money, locked it in the cabinet, and then leaned against the cabinet and sighed: Oh, no money again~"

Haha, he really is a person who lives his life~
After running a few games, Xiaoxu actually met a fellow villager named Laying!

Xiao Xu: "Yeah, he's also from Northeast China. He's quite lively."

Xia Tian asked, "What do you think of La Ying?"

Xiao Xu: "Laying? She's okay, noisy and carefree. Sometimes she doesn't think before she speaks~"

It's not just La Ying. One summer, I went to a live show to "appreciate" Xiao Xu's "I Smile When I See You", and I saw a cool handsome guy singing on the stage at the back. It turned out to be Dou Wei!

When I asked, I found out that La Ying and Dou Wei only charged 10 yuan per show!
Xia Tian smiled unkindly!

Someone also offered Xia Tian 500 yuan to sing a song, but Xia Tian declined with a smile.

Then others also laughed: "What do they need from you?!"

……

In February this year, Lu Xun Academy of Literature organized a literary workshop.

Many writers in Beijing were invited. Xia Tian and Shi Tiesheng went together - to be guests to give speeches and share their experiences.

Then, at the workshop, I met a young writer who was short and had small eyes.

At that time, the boy was walking too fast and fell directly from the stairs and hit Tie Sheng's wheelchair!
Fortunately, the new wheelchair has an emergency brake, otherwise Tie Sheng would have pushed him into the pool!

Shi Tiesheng: God, something is wrong! It seems like someone is trying to scam me!

Xia Tian turned his head and saw: I am Chao~Yu Hua~
It is the dentist Yu Hua who keeps happiness for himself and leaves sadness to his readers!
The three of them got to know each other and often ate together, exchanged ideas about literature, and chatted about all sorts of things.

……

In early March, "Furong Town" was released, first in Shanghai, and then in Beijing within two days.

Starring Ma Wen and Liu Xiaoqing, a work of scar literature.

Xia Tian learned some news from some people in the circle.

It is said that Ma Wen and Liu Xiaoqing were very close on the crew!
Judging from Xia Tian’s understanding of Marvin and his state during the New Year period, it might be true.

But Liu Xiaoqing is a married woman now!

I hope they can handle it.
The release of "Furong Town" brought about a wave of movie-watching craze.

There are not many entertainment options at this time, watching movies is a popular entertainment option, and movie tickets are cheap.

Not to mention that this movie is supported by the original novel.

Within two days, Xia Tian, ​​Xiao Xu and Zhang Li received news from director Wang Fulin that there was a role they wanted to play!
"Liao Zhai?"

"It's said to be a unit drama, and each story needs a new male and female protagonist."

"What about Xiaoxu?"

"It is said that they want her to play the role of Cousin Mei in Mr. Ba Jin's masterpiece "Family Spring and Autumn"..."

Then Xia Tian discussed with them, "What do you think?"

Zhang Li shook her head: "I won't act anymore. I have to work and study for the college entrance examination. I don't have time."

Although Zhang Li is a man of few words, she knows what she is doing and has a clear goal. Now that she has made the decision, she will not hesitate any longer.

"Where's Xiaoxu?"

"I..." Xiao Xu was still a little hesitant.

However, after thinking about it for a while, she also shook her head.

"Just like you said, I can't get out of the shadow of Lin Daiyu. No matter who I play, I will look like Lin Daiyu. I'd better not play it anymore! I want to concentrate on my college entrance exams!"

"Okay, I understand. I will reply to Director Wang."

He went to Director Wang and declined the invitation, which Director Wang felt very sorry about.
