1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 327 Ma Dudu: I finally opened my eyes today!

"Hey! Tian'er, I have a song, come and listen to it?" A colleague from CCTV rushed over without waiting for Xia Tian to sit down.

"Whose song?"

"Chi Zhiqiang's."

"Who?" Xia Tian stopped pouring tea.

"Chi Zhiqiang!"

"He's not going in?"

“It’s out already, and the song has been released!”

"Play one for me to hear~"

As a result, a colleague put a tape called "Tears of Regret" into the tape recorder.

The button was pressed with a click. After a slight rustling sound, a male voice began to speak as the music started: "The greatest tragedy in life is to lose freedom. The greatest pain in life is to lose relatives and friends..."

"Iron doors, iron windows, iron chains
Hold on to the iron window and look out

How beautiful is life outside

What day will I return to my homeland
When can I return to my homeland

......"

With her professional ability, Xia Tian could tell that the person singing and the one reciting the monologue seemed to be different people?

Unless he changes his timbre too!
But no matter what, this song became a hit!

Prison singer? Prison song?!

Which genius planner came up with this idea? !
At the end of this album, there are songs like "Ten Things You Shouldn't Do", "Sorrowful", "Looking at the Moon in Prison" and so on!
"Hahaha!" Xia Tian laughed when he heard it.

In fact, in this song, only Chi Zhiqiang narrates the monologue, while someone else sings.

The singer sang an album and received 50,000 yuan, while Chi Zhiqiang read a monologue and received 1,500 yuan.

However, the person on the album cover is Chi Zhiqiang, and he is also the one promoting it~
The whole album is pure planning!

Speaking of this guy, he's quite funny.

At that time, he was filming the movie "Gold is Invaluable" in Yi County, Hebei Province, when suddenly a group of uncles in hats appeared and took him away. The entire crew was in an uproar.

Because of his good behavior in prison, his sentence was reduced by two years. After he was released from prison, his acting career came to a halt.

Unexpectedly, a "OEM version" of the song "Tears Behind Bars" made this criminal with a criminal record popular again, and he was even called the "King of Prison Songs"!
After this album tape was released to the market, the response exceeded everyone's expectations!
It may even be more popular than the one in the summer - it can be regarded as the voice of the times!
It is said that there was a rumor in the prison that "prisoners who sing well will be beaten less in the cell."
It’s so fucking magical!

……

Isn’t it almost time to store vegetables for the winter? Xia Ma’s friend brought some specialties from the Northeast, such as vermicelli.

Mother Xia rode her bicycle to Xiatian's courtyard.

Normally, Xia's mom and dad rarely come here, mainly because they are afraid of seeing three girls, which would be awkward for both sides~
As a result, when I came to deliver the food this time, just as I was about to knock on the door, I heard Milan talking to Xia Tian in the yard.

Milan pulled Xia Tian's arm and acted like a spoiled brat: "I'm afraid they will say I'm an old cow eating young grass~"

Xia Tian smiled and said, "That's right. A girl three years older than you is rich, and a girl five years older than you is like an old mother. Pity my delicate flower~"

As a result, Milan hugged Xia Tian's head and said, "Be good, come and call me mom!"

Mother Xia's hand, which was knocking on the door, froze immediately: This is outrageous, you want to be on an equal footing with me? !

Mother Xia waited outside the door for a long time before knocking again.

After they left, Milan said with a bitter face: "Oh no, Auntie's expression is not right, as if she heard something?"

She quickly rummaged through the drawers and found a lot of balls of wool - this was her weapon to please her future mother-in-law. Although Mother Xia was not very good at knitting sweaters, she couldn't help but love it!

Well, Sheriff Mimi likes it too!
The next day, when Milan went to see Xia's mother to repair their relationship, Fang Xiaoyan came to interview Xia Tian again.

"How are you doing at the newspaper lately?" Xia Tian asked while pouring tea.

"Not bad. I'll be promoted to deputy director next month." Fang Xiaoyan said calmly.

"Oh, sure, Director Fang!"

"Hahaha, no big deal. Let's stop chatting and get started~" She opened her interview book.

She asked, "We noticed that you recently published several short and medium-length English novels in the United States. I heard they are very popular there? There is a lot of discussion?"

"Uh, it's okay. It's just a gust of wind, no one will care about it after it passes."

Because of Michael Jackson's publicity, Xia Tian suddenly became a best-selling author from a niche best-selling author.

Before that, Old Palo had just received several new stories he had written.

Look, the stories that have been hyped up this time are all very good.

Source Code, Grim Reaper, and The Day of the Concert.

I won't mention the first two, the latter is the first thing that comes to mind. The former are all based on this article.

The main story of "Concert Day" is like "Groundhog Day" which is trapped in a day and keeps repeating, but the content was rewritten by him in the summer, based on his own experience...

The protagonist was in a small community in the United States, met a female star who was holding a concert, and then tried all of these things in a repetitive day.

From the initial ecstasy, to decadence and recklessness, and finally awakening, I realized: the key is not the repetition of time, but your own difference in the repetition.

The whole story reveals a message: when a person starts to become better, his world will also start to become better.

"Source Code" is also a similar endless loop, with a bit of science fiction and parallel world concepts.

"The Ship" focuses on the horror atmosphere. It is a story with layers of nesting dolls that makes people shudder in the end.

Fang Xiaoyan asked: "I found the original English version and read it. These stories are very exciting! How did you come up with such a strange story?"

Xia Tian supported his chin, "Well, a little personal experience, plus when I was very young I often dreamed of being stuck in a certain looping scene. That's why I thought of these stories..."

That’s right, the terrifying stairwell, a lifelong shadow!
I still don't like walking up stairs in the summer.

Not lying at all~
……

In Xia Tian's study, Zhang Li was helping Xia Tian. He wanted to paint a few fan paintings, mainly for Aunt Deng. Aunt Deng rarely asked for money, so Xia Tian naturally tried his best to satisfy her.

There are also some particularities in painting the fan. The rightmost edge must be left open, and the bottom edge must also be left open. Depending on the shape of the fan ribs, the "shoulder" height is different, and sometimes a centimeter is cut off at the bottom...

It is clamped with a special wooden fan clip, making it easy to draw.

I sent several fans to a fan-making master, selected the materials and shapes, and then went to find my friends in the summer.

Someone has something to sell, and wants Xia Tian to take a look.

——A long time later, in an official photo released, the chief designer was holding a fan that was painted by Xia Tian, ​​and there was an inscription on it!

When summer comes, I see Ma Dudu is there too!
"Wow! What a good stuff!"

Kingfisher headwear!
This thing is "pasted" on with kingfisher feathers, and the color is very beautiful.

It is said that in order to maintain the bright colors, the hair is plucked while the animals are still alive!

It spread from the palace to the people in the late Qing Dynasty. As a part of traditional opera makeup, many famous actors would tailor a set of exquisite kingfisher feather headgear for themselves.

Later, due to overhunting, kingfishers were no longer allowed to be used for protection purposes - they were replaced by "dotted silk".

Xia Tian bought this set of headgear. He had also bought several sets of exquisite costumes and headgear before.

After all, I learned a play, and even though I didn't go on stage, it was still satisfying to collect a set of clothes.

"I don't want these Dzi beads!" Xia Tian pushed a few Dzi beads aside.

Only some fools would say that their beads are worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions!
Did the brain matter get poured out?!
Afterwards, there is actually a string of tiger teeth beads that has been passed down from the late Qing Dynasty?

Xia Tian took a closer look and found that it was a real tiger tooth. After all, tigers are not protected animals at this time - next year, tigers will be strictly protected as a national first-class protected animal.

"I want this too!"

Keep this thing, you can use it to calm your children down in the future.

Speaking of which, I have to find time to go to the pharmacy in the summer to buy more rhino horns, bear gallbladders, and bezoars. These things will not be allowed in the future.

Finally, I bought a large piece of ink in the summer!

Longquan ink paste, an ink paste made from lotus root silk.

It’s the fiber inside the lotus leaf stem!

For this large piece, it is estimated that it would be impossible to make lotus leaves for every ten acres of land, and it cost tens of thousands of dollars!
More valuable than its weight in gold!
Gold is only 80 yuan per gram now, but this stuff is 130 yuan per gram!
Ma Dudu knew that Xia Tian was rich, but his eyelids twitched when he saw someone spending hundreds of thousands of dollars without blinking an eye!

Lotus root silk can not only be used to make ink, but also to make cloth, such as Sun Wukong's lotus root silk walking shoes~
As a result, when Xia Tian brought Ma Dudu back home, spring came before they had time to enjoy the things.

And he was carrying something mysteriously.

"What are you doing? Becoming a Buddha?!" Xia Tian said.

"Hey~ I packed some stuff!" He looked like he had eaten a bee poop. "Hey, Dudu is here too?"

Ma Dudu was still looking at the Ming and Qing furniture in summer.

"What did you receive?" Xia Tian asked.

"I collected some--curios!"

"What? Take it out and let me see it!"

Xia Tian and Ma Dudu looked at each other and accepted what had happened to Dachun.

In fact, Dachun also saw Xia Tian collecting, and bought some because of what he saw.

And his income is higher now because he was allowed to join some businesses in the summer.

Now he owns several stalls in Xidan supermarket.

So, besides eating, isn’t this also developing a second hobby?

It’s better than Xiaodong who likes clippings and Yan Jing who is obsessed with the laboratory!
Dachun happily took out the things she bought.

The first one is four porcelain monkeys connected in a row, and the whole is about the length of a palm.

Four monkeys covered their eyes, ears and mouths, and the last one just sat there quietly.

The workmanship is actually pretty good, but the thief light hasn’t gone away yet, it’s either from last week or last month!

Dachun grinned and said, "The stall owner said, this is: don't look at anything indecent, don't listen to anything indecent, don't say anything indecent!"

"What about the last one?" asked Ma Dudu.

"The last one is indecent assault." Dachun was very proud!
Xia Tian took a deep breath: "...How much did you buy it for?"

"12 yuan!" There were both zeros and whole numbers.

“That’s not expensive!”

It costs two or three dollars to buy a handicraft!

12 bucks is not expensive to learn a lesson!

Just think of it as you buying molestation!

"Then what is this?" Xia Tian pointed at another thing.

This is a piece of Xiuyan jade carving, half the size of a palm. It is a little small to be considered as an ornament, but a little big to be considered as an ornament.

And the subject matter is particularly weird, it’s a cicada holding a brush in its mouth?
Xia Tian thought: Cicada-shaped ornaments are believed to bring luck in literature and career, and also have connotations of transformation and spirituality.

Ma Dudu thought: This cicada carrying a brush should be related to literary inspiration or something?
As a result, Dachun laughed: "This is a very good implication - it's awesome!"

"Puff~" Xia Tian almost sprayed a mouthful of tea on this "cool stroke"!

Ma Dudu on the side was very alert, his eyes wide open - he had learned something new today!

There are collectors like Xia Tian, ​​and there are also collectors like Da Chun!

I’m in my 30s, and this is the first time I feel like my brain is not enough!
Many years later, he still mentioned this incident in his show "Dudu"!
Ma Dudu: "I tell you, it's really a matter of personal preference! When a friend of mine was young, he was molested and also got a 'good deal'..."
