1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 331 Bitter Drama

It’s quite interesting to talk about.

Xia Tian is a well-known figure in Yanjing. Although some members met him for the first time, they all knew him.

However, Xia Tian didn't like to steal the show, and tried to let Fang Yan and Wang Ruohai be the center of attention, so he appeared very low-key. In addition, he was not good at drinking, so he would avoid it whenever possible.

But he still has a lot of friends around him, and they all chat and laugh together.

I also chatted with some new acquaintances, and everyone felt very relaxed.

After three rounds of drinking, Mo Yan came over with a glass of wine, "I didn't expect to see Xia Tian today. I'll toast you a glass, I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want."

Although he now has a round face and small eyes, he still has not developed the facial features he did later.

Xiatian was also very considerate and picked up the cup and took a sip.

Mo Yan took the opportunity to chat with Xia Tian, ​​and talked a lot about writing and creation.

Pants kept looking at Mo Yan secretly: You are quite talkative? Is there another competitor?

Xia Tian could tell that Mo Yan was not discussing any literature, and he was not even necessarily interested in his own writing - he seemed more interested in "best-selling".

But I often asked Xia Tian about these matters and techniques in a roundabout way.

Xia Tian did not treat him differently. The future is the future. For now, they can just be ordinary friends...

The next day, the news of the establishment of the "Seahorse Film and Television Creation Center" was published in the newspaper.

On the third day, even the newspapers reprinted Fang Xiaoyan's article.

I also enlarged and bolded the pretentious words of the dialect - "The whole body of the seahorse can be used as medicine, with the effects of strengthening yang, relieving pain, and strengthening the heart. Nowadays, literature and art are shyly caught in a dilemma, with elegance and vulgarity like two hands pulling a saw. We just want to say: bring a few ounces of seahorse, and let whoever lacks something get it."

……

The seahorses get together every weekend.

At the beginning, I had no fixed place to live and was wandering around.

In the summer, I would rent out my unused second floor apartment facing the street as a temporary place to stay.

But most people don’t go there - most of them go to the Kunlun Hotel.

There is food, drinks and even a swimming pool!

It's so nice to use public property~
This group of people not only ate and drank lavishly, they often asked General Manager Wang Ruohai to sign the bills, and when they were in a good mood they even went to his office to snatch gifts!

Xia Tian couldn't help but curse secretly: There are no good people who write novels~
Less than two weeks after Hippocampus was founded, most members had obtained free swimming passes and lifetime massage room passes at Kunlun Hotel.
Highlight a sense of ownership~
……

At the gathering that day, everyone couldn't help but talk about the TV series "Yi Jian Mei" which was introduced from the island and is currently being broadcast on CCTV.

The theme song is the one that goes "Snowflakes are fluttering, the north wind is whistling ~ the world is vast ~" sung by Fei Yuqing.

Later, whenever it sounded, it reminded people of Yuan Hua!
The plot of this TV series is very different from previous ones in the inland area, and it is very tear-jerking.

We are all relevant practitioners and are sensitive to this aspect, and are discussing the differences and merits.

Pants couldn't help but ask: "Tian'er, what do you think?"

Xia Tian said: "This type of drama is actually not uncommon in Hong Kong and Taiwan. I call them 'bitter dramas'!"

"Sad drama?!" Pants exclaimed, "What a good name!"

While speaking in dialect, he glared at him and said, "What are you yelling about? You scared me. You're the only one who knows. Why are you so quick to speak?"

Let me praise you next time!
Next, Xia Tian told them his thoughts on sad dramas.

"It's nothing more than crushing beautiful things in front of you to make you feel sad..."

"This is a matter of psychology. Men value ambition, while women value love. Men prefer dramas that focus on lofty ambitions, while women prefer dramas that focus on love."

"It can successfully carry and transfer the trauma and anxiety of society with abundant sorrow and tears. Through the cheap and legal tears evoked by the sad drama, the audience is able to release the anonymous pain, huge loss and despair in reality, and transform it into a safe feeling of 'human truth' and 'justice of daily life'..." Pants watched Xia Tian talking on the side and quickly refilled the tea.

Xia Tian picked it up and took a sip, saying, "According to my observation, the love stories in Hong Kong and Taiwan are nothing more than a heroine who has all the good qualities, but is surrounded by a group of enemies and troublemakers who try to harm her in various ways. However, the heroine is indomitable, optimistic, and forgiving. When she gets old, she brings all the people who harmed her to her side to take care of her in her old age~"

He put down his teacup, looked up at everyone, and spread his hands: "In the end, she even smiled at the camera - so sweet, I'm so happy! Damn, even the Leiyin Temple can't accommodate a Buddha as big as her!"

"I think if we create something similar, we should never do this. It's better to have good things rewarded and evil things punished!"

Fang Yan nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "That's right! It doesn't matter if the process is painful, but in the end the good ones must be happy and the bad ones must be unlucky. There has to be some fairness in this world, right?!"

Pants started to make a comedic comment again: "How about we make one? Brother Tian'er, you be the main writer?"

Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "If you are interested, go ahead and do it. I've been thinking about writing a science fiction novel recently."

"Science fiction?!" Pants looked at Xia Tian and knew that this was definitely not a novel written in Chinese, because Chinese science fiction was already half-dead.

This must be another way to make money in the USA~
It is true that Brother Tianer is such a lofty figure!
Then these people began to pool their ideas and started to talk about their own thoughts.

Xia Tian was listening to it and thought, why does it feel so familiar?

"The whole country mourns Liu Huifang, the whole country scolds Wang Husheng, and the whole nation sighs for Song Dacheng."

Desire?!
But Xia Tian really didn't have time to work on "Desire" with them because he was currently writing two science fiction novellas in English.

A film called "Moon" tells the story of a lonely lunar miner who mines minerals on the moon and waits for the time to return to Earth and reunite with his family.

However, after an accident one day, he discovered that he was actually a clone of himself!
In fact, he had been destroyed many times by accident or by mistake. Each time, his cloned body, which had been injected with memories, would continue to mine minerals for the company on the moon until his death, full of expectation of returning to Earth...

These include science fiction elements such as moon landing, moon construction, artificial intelligence, as well as aspects of human good and evil and cloning ethics.

It can be said that the elements are full~
The first sentence of the article is: Humans finally landed on the moon and established a base on it. But unfortunately, after more than a dozen confirmations, it was found that the soil on the moon cannot be used to grow vegetables. So what is the use of the moon?
The other article can be considered a "science fiction", a fantasy about science and technology decades later. It has a less narrative quality and is more like a science fiction essay.

Xia Tian wrote about the prospects for the development of technologies such as "artificial synthesis of carbon dioxide starch", "controlled nuclear fusion", "quantum computer", "room-temperature superconductivity", "simplified exoskeleton", "electromagnetic railgun", "gene editing", "brain-computer interface", "artificial intelligence AI", "AR and VR", etc.

"I have learned one thing from thousands of years of farming civilization. The capacity of crops has its limits. The more you pursue food production, the more you will fall into the dilemma of arable land and growth cycle, and thus be restricted. So I don't... farm anymore!"

Compared to writing sad dramas, Xia Tian prefers to make netizens thirty years from now exclaim - the prophet has been discovered, what a quick move!
……

Xiaoxu and Zhangli came home from school. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Milan riding on Xiatian's neck, being held by Xiatian, reaching for the box on top of the cabinet.

"Can you take down this thick blanket as well? Put it on Xiaoxu. She's afraid of the cold."

The two of them looked at each other and thought: Isn't this riding a big horse?
"Hey~ You guys were having a lot of fun while we were away. We came back at a really bad time~" Xiao Xu started to speak sarcastically.

"Great, great! You're back just in time!"

Xia Tian exerted force and lifted Milan to sit on one of his shoulders, then he reached out and picked Xiao Xu up, "Let me let you play too~" and lifted her up and let her sit on the other shoulder!
Then he carried the two of them around the room. Milan and Xiaoxu, one was giggling, while the other screamed in fear, holding Xia Tian's head tightly.

Xia Tian: "I feel like a giant in the story of Yugong moving mountains, carrying the two mountains of Wangwu and Taihang~"

"Bah! You're calling us two Shen, aren't you?"

After turning around twice, Xia Tian looked at Zhang Li with shining eyes and said quickly, "Come on, come on, sit in my arms. Lili and I are best friends~"

……

On December 12, bad news came.

Deng Jie ran to CCTV during work hours to find Xia Tian: "I just heard that Director Wang's wife passed away!"

"what?!"

Wang Fulin's wife, Ms. Wang Zhifu, died of illness at the age of 57.

Xia Tian quickly gathered the Red Mansion staff in Yanjing and rushed to visit...
