1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 314 Long live the people!

……

When Xia Tian finished a big bowl of mutton soup with chili oil and chopped green garlic in the sweat, the audience in front of the TV couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

I was thinking how delicious this big bowl of soup would be.
Just looking at it makes me dizzy with fragrance!

I used to think that I must go to Northeast China if I have the chance. Now I want to go to Chang'an too!
Many out-of-town viewers also saw Xia Tian visiting the Big Wild Goose Pagoda on TV. Although the locals don’t care about this, seeing Xia Tian admiring the ruined Big Wild Goose Pagoda with a pilgrimage attitude also gave them a sincere sense of pride!

Local: Maybe I should find some time to go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and take some photos?
Although the status of documentaries is a bit low these days, the achievements and reviews of "A Bite of China" are really dazzling!

But it is really shocking to achieve great results in the most inconspicuous fields!
Although it has only been aired halfway, this big-budget documentary with one hour per episode and movie quality has become visibly popular.

The first season of "A Bite of China" has 12 episodes, one episode per day, and it was completed on the 12th.

Then CCTV ushered in another wave of telephone calls, and long-distance calls from all over the country.

Many people called CCTV and asked them to visit their place on business trips in the summer, as their delicious food has been passed down for hundreds of years!
"You must come! I'll entertain Xia Tian then!"

There were more than a dozen young staff members in the office, gathered around six landline phones, answering calls from the beginning of the working day until the end of the day.

Even if we take turns, we will collapse!

Many viewers invited Xia Tian to go on a "business trip" with them, probably to give him some good juice~
More viewers are asking CCTV to quickly film the second season!
In order to prevent the audience from reacting too strongly, CCTV quickly announced that after "A Bite of China" was broadcast, another documentary "Wulin" filmed in the summer would be broadcast!
He also promised that "A Bite of China" would be rebroadcast in the near future, and that they would speed up the filming of the second season of "A Bite of China".

Audience: Come on! The donkeys in the production team don’t dare to rest like this! It’s the new year, let Xia go on a business trip! Come to our place, we have much better food~
……

On January 1, Xia Tian also saw an investigative article!
After more than a month of interviews and investigations, this "Correspondence on Prices" was finally released!

The first subheading is: The price increase is a bit unbearable for everyone!

The reform and opening up abandoned our previous ideas and made people realize that it is not a good thing for prices to remain unchanged for decades.
One cadre said that his nanny didn’t dare to go shopping for groceries because it cost 10 yuan each time and it made him dizzy.

A young man who has graduated from university for three years and earns 70 yuan a month is 26 years old and dares not to fall in love, saying that he has no money to do so; he dares not take his girlfriend out on the street, fearing that it will be difficult to deal with her at dinner time.

A young couple who each earn 70 or 80 yuan a month cannot afford to raise a child in the city.

In order to support their families, some middle school teachers with rich teaching experience have to take part-time jobs outside the school and try to "help themselves".

The Chinese people are experiencing the highest price fluctuations since the founding of the country, with prices rising 18.5% from the previous year and 1986% compared to December 12.

Just as the discussion on prices had begun, on the 13th, the island's transport captain, Mr. Jingguo, passed away at the age of 77.

That era, which later existed only in history books, is passing away.

On the 15th, the first national housing system reform work conference was held in Yanjing.

The authorities announced that starting from this year, housing system reform will be officially included in the central and local reform plans, and will be carried out in phases and batches across the country.

The way to reform the housing system is to realize the commercialization of housing.

The basic idea is to increase rents, increase wages, and encourage employees to buy houses.
At this point, the previous housing distribution model seems to be unstable.

If you are a person with a keen sense of smell and are a little wary of the future, you can often detect clues from these "big things" that are not noticed by ordinary people.

So that you can seize the opportunity when a new wave of trends emerges!

But Xia Tian remembers that this housing reform was soon stopped.

The first time is always immature.

...CCTV broadcast "Wulin" in a timely manner, "inheriting" the popularity of "A Bite of China".

It also allows viewers who are still unsatisfied with "A Bite of China" to divert their attention.

Nowadays, people are still very keen on sports, fitness, and martial arts.

For example, later on, the old man in the community became invincible at table tennis, and the old men played "Twilight of the Gods" on the fitness equipment. These were all the foundations laid for today.

After all, in the early years we were all popular with keeping fit, defending our country, and being ready at all times.

Everyone has a consensus on sports and physical education.

But later on, people gave up on the idea of ​​"thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge" and "studying changes one's destiny".

The times are constantly changing, and people in the tide of the times find it difficult to tell whether the direction they are moving in is chosen by themselves or is swept away by the tide.

In any case, "Wulin" continues the popularity of "A Bite of China".

Although its subject matter is not as suitable for all ages as "A Bite of China", it has its own flavor - it feels like peeking at folk martial arts, warriors, and the martial arts world through TV!

The simple camera position, the photography with almost no lens language, the rough pictures, the original sound of the scene...

And real teaching and discussion!

The Xia Tian in "Wulin" seems to have transformed from the young, immature, and traveling-around-the-counter buyer in "A Bite of China" into a calm and composed young martial artist who visits famous teachers all over the motherland.

Confident, calm, humble, and occasionally sharp!

Even in front of those veteran boxers of major styles, Xia Tian still stands out.

Communicate, learn, and exchange ideas...the audience seemed to be a warrior following Xia Tian in the martial arts world.

The boxing techniques, concepts, skills and training methods are basically explained clearly.

The history and origin of those boxing styles, a certain grandmaster who shone brilliantly... the experiences of those folk martial artists, the stories of those legendary grandmasters, those old rules of the past...

"Wulin" seems to be a "weird martial arts film"!
Although there are no ups and downs in the plot and various fierce fights, there is an irresistible truth in the plainness.

After watching too many Shaolin and Wudang movies, the documentary "Wulin" seems a bit too real!
Many young people from Northeast China, Chang'an, Rongcheng and other places went to inquire about the local old boxers who were featured in the documentary before "Wulin" was finished, wanting to become their apprentices and learn martial arts!
Just like the impact brought by "Shaolin Temple" a few years ago, the summer movie "Wulin" has revitalized many boxing styles that have gradually become silent!
It has led many young people to learn martial arts!

……

Now the discussion about summer has once again started in the newspapers.

This time it's not just Yanjing and its surrounding areas, this time it includes all over the country, almost all newspapers across the country have begun to report a lot of news and stories about Xia Tian.

Including the head nurse who delivered the baby and made him cry was exposed again~
The retired head nurse was still confused: Why are you interviewing me again? Didn’t I tell you?
There is also the "Decathlon" for the junior group of the 82 Yanjing City Games!
At that time, his shot put result in the junior group broke the national adult record, which was only broken last year.
And Xia Tian’s junior fellow apprentice, Wang Tiezhu, who believed that the world was not all about fighting and killing, also accepted the interview.

He talked a lot about his experience of learning martial arts at the Children's Palace in the summer - things like "urging fellow students to practice martial arts", "when a fellow student couldn't bear the hardship and wanted to quit, he personally went to their house to find them and bring them back", "organizing martial arts competitions and having cordial exchanges with martial arts enthusiasts" and so on.

That's called "reality"!
This kid has been a "Xia Blower" since he was young, and his ability to make up stories is almost as good as his kung fu.

Moreover, he might have really taken Xia Tian's words "The martial arts world is not about fighting and killing" to heart, and now, at such a young age, he has become a coach of the Yanjing City Wushu Team!

Now, idle audiences across the country are eating summer melons through newspapers.

Everyone says he eats and drinks all over the country.
Eat wherever you go, fight wherever you eat~
I just don’t know if anyone has noticed that in the “A Bite of China” and “Wulin” sections in Chengdu, there are scenes of Tianfu Square.
