1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 328: A Little Ink on the Case
CCTV, in that small office in summer.

"Sit down!" He pulled out a chair and asked Fang Xiaoyan, who came to interview him, to sit down.

Fang Xiaoyan looked at Xia’s small office. It was very small, maybe only ten square meters?

But at least it’s an “independent office”?

There is a large corner desk with a bookshelf on it, filled with various books of varying thicknesses, as well as many file bags, clips, and planning books.

The pen holder is filled with pens, pencils and ballpoint pens.

She even saw a gouache painting hanging on the wall that looked like it had been completed just two days ago - it was a painting of the exterior of the current CCTV building.

"It seems like you're feeling very comfortable here," she said with a smile.

Xia Tian took out a teacup and poured her a cup of brewed tea. "It's okay. My work is usually not busy. Unless there is something that I must do, I usually push it to others. But most of the time, other units will second me..."

Soon, the two entered into interview mode.

"Teacher Jinghongke, readers are now discussing the two novels you are serializing. Can you tell us about your creative ideas?"

The two serialized novels she was talking about were "The Hidden Corner" and "The Inspector General of the Song Dynasty".

There are many latent modifications. After all, many things cannot be done casually. They need to be carefully considered, and even some old comrades need to be asked to help take a look.

But this is not necessary for "The Inspector General of the Song Dynasty". After all, this is a story about using historical figures to write one's own story. As long as it is not too outrageous and does not go too contrary to the image of this character in people's minds, there will be no big problem.

So, the last two books were completed almost at the same time.

Now it is serialized and almost parallel.

This also led to the serialization of "The Chief Justice of the Song Dynasty" in "Legends of the Past and Present" and the serialization of "The Hidden Corner" in "October" at the same time.

Many book lovers in this summer can be said to have feasted their eyes and enjoyed themselves very much!
Book fans: Teacher Jinghongke has opened two books~
As the serialized content gradually reaches a critical point, discussions about the novel have begun in newspapers and magazines.

The former is about "official administration" and some things that are difficult to say clearly.

The latter is about the special deeds of special people in that special period of history.

Moreover, they are all very topical and there is so much to talk about and discuss!

At this time, people dare to say that they have not encountered the deep river of Dian Niang Gou Yang!

However, it was difficult for Xia Tian to answer Fang Xiaoyan's question.

"I have always believed that the moment a work is published, it no longer belongs to the creator, but to all the readers. Therefore, my thoughts and interpretations are not really necessary. What is important is everyone's opinion."

But Fang Xiaoyan would not let Xia Tian off so easily, and pressed on: "As a creator, everyone would like to know your original idea. Is it inconvenient to tell me?"

Xia Tian spread his hands and said: Next time, don't talk about tea, I'll give you swill~
"I don't have much to say about Insidious. Just watch it for yourself."

"As for The Inspector General of the Song Dynasty, I can talk about some of my initial thoughts..."

"A drop of ink on the case is the result of thousands of drops of blood from the people. This was my original creative concept, which is different from "Detective Di Renjie"..."

"Speaking of the villain Diao Guangdou, I was also troubled at first. What kind of image should I create?"

"Finally, I had an idea..."

"Diao Guangdou spent his entire life working for his colleagues. He was greedy for money, and instead of thinking about fine clothes and food, or having many wives and concubines, he spent all his money on building an intelligence network and bribing his colleagues. As a result, the people suffered because of him, his colleagues became richer because of him, and he himself did not enjoy any happiness."

"The reason why he is such a scary villain is that he is a nihilist, or in other words, he is a complete gambler."

"He doesn't care about personal enjoyment, nor does he really crave power. He just seems to want to game the system, as if the world has ruined him and he wants revenge."

"He himself became an asshole, and he also believed that everyone in this world was an asshole or on the way to becoming an asshole. This was the iron rule of the world in his mind."

"He targeted Song Ci just to prove that the most Song Ci could do was to commit suicide before he became a jerk, and that this would have no impact on the world. After all, people are products of their environment and slaves to iron rules... As for winning or losing, how can a person who has nothing lose?"

Diao is the invincible person~
Fang Xiaoyan wrote down Xia Tian’s words in a notebook. She felt that this passage was very profound and terrifying, and that if it were printed out, it would surely scare many readers!
She asked again, "Now readers say that you write too harshly. When I read that eight boxes of evidence were placed in the emperor's study and the study was on fire, I felt extremely cold and desolate! How did you come up with this plot?"

Xia Tian smiled and said, "Just think of it."

We can't say that this is all the wisdom of our ancestors, right?

Or is it that five thousand years of civilization has been realized?
Is it possible that someone will feel uncomfortable reading my book "The Chief Justice of the Song Dynasty" in the near future? !

...After the interview, Xia Tian saw Fang Xiaoyan off from CCTV, but was blocked by colleagues in the corridor.

"The director is looking for you!"

"What is it?"

"They said there's an event in the Magic City and they want to invite you to attend."

"Magic City?"

Fang Xiaoyan was the kind of person who didn't mind watching a funeral being too big, so when she saw this situation she didn't leave and just followed along to join in the fun.

When I got there, I found out that Shanghai was hosting the "First Shanghai International Animation Film Festival" and had invited Xia Tian, ​​a "famous cartoonist" in China, to participate in the event.

After all, Xia Tian has cooperated with American companies many times, and his comic works sell very well in China - mainly because there are not many people who draw comics.

So, I wanted to invite Xia Tian to come and support us.

After all, this is an international animation film festival, so we can't have too few people go? It would be embarrassing!

……

In early November, Xia, who had already attended Xiaodong's wedding, got off the plane in Shanghai - the plane ticket and letter of introduction were issued there.

In fact, Shanghai has been preparing for this International Animation Film Festival for several years.

Animators and excellent works from all over the world gather in Shanghai!

This is also the first international competitive film festival held in China, and the sixth international animation festival in the world and the second in Asia certified and supported by the International Animation Federation (ASIFA).

The Shanghai International Animation Festival received entries from nearly 30 countries, including British animation pioneer and Japan Animation Association President Osamu Tezuka.

The participating directors include not only Te Wei, the leader of the domestic animation industry, but also the newcomers in the field of European independent animation, the Quay brothers, and John Lasseter, the future head of Pixar and Disney Animation Studios...

Anyway, apart from Osamu Tezuka, I don’t know any other summers~
When he comes, the main thing is to eat melons and applaud.

In Xia Tian’s opinion, the current situation in Shanghai is not much different from that in Beijing.

The street scenes are very similar, with densely packed electric poles and lines on both sides of the road.
But maybe there are more cars on the main streets?
Moreover, people's dressing style is much more fashionable and stylish.

The hairstyles, dresses, high heels and small handbags of some of the young girls here are very fashionable!
However, there are still many old alleys in the Magic City today that can no longer be seen in later generations, and the population is also very dense.

At some crossroads, you can also see many old buildings with a very Western style from the Republic of China period - they look like churches, with a big clock on the tower.

On the Bund, it was even more different. There were numerous large and small ships on the sea...

In the summer, before the animation festival started, I went shopping and eating in the old city of Mozart and took a lot of photos as souvenirs.

Soon the animation festival began, and many people from the animation festival who had not been seen in the summer showed up.

Some staff from Shanghai introduced to Xia Tian who this was and what works they had.

Then he introduced Xia Tian: "This is Comrade Xia Tian from Yanjing!"

The people on the other side are usually older - in their 40s or 50s, but they extend their hands enthusiastically and speak in Shanghai dialect or dialects from all over the world: "Hello! I like your drawings of "Black Cat Sheriff" / "Calabash Brothers" / "Journey to the West" very much!"

These people are all big names in the animation industry!

The creator of "Havoc in Heaven" and "The Tadpole Looking for His Mother".

Xia Tian is very modest and keeps a low profile.

As a result, the seniors actually praised Xia Tian for his humility!
Yes, after all, he is a national superstar with an annual income of several million, and he is an outstanding figure in singing, novels, comics, documentaries, etc.

There is no need to introduce in detail what I do and what works I have!

Besides, Xia Tian is young and not proud at all.
rare!

In fact, Xia had met a few people during the summer, in 80, at the second National Children's Literature and Art Awards, an awards ceremony for tens of thousands of people!

At the age of 16, he won the second and third prizes for children's literature and children's songs.

I took photos with many big guys at that time!
