1990My Entertainment System

Chapter 140 Quentin's new film, going to America~
I've gotten used to it these past few summers; every January 1st, some new clauses appear.

So on New Year's Day in 94, he also picked up the newspaper early to check the news.

As expected, it's big news.

Although we heard rumors about it before last summer, we are always cautious and will definitely go through a long period of discussion before making a decision on major issues.

For example, this one today—"Decision on Implementing the Tax-Sharing System..."!
I heard from some friends last summer that the higher-ups were researching this, and now it seems there's a conclusion.

The issue of central government control has been a persistent problem for thousands of years, from the Zhou Dynasty's enfeoffment system to the Qin Dynasty's unification, from Shang Yang to Wang Anshi to Zhang Juzheng to the Yongzheng Emperor...

There's no way to make something work forever; you just have to adapt to the times.

However, after every major change, there are always some who cannot keep up with the changes, and those can only experience growing pains.

……

After reading various serious newspapers for half an hour, I realized that there have been quite a few changes in all aspects on the first day of the new year.

Some things require careful consideration, while others may only reveal their results many years later.

No rush, let's play around with him a bit~
Summer has brought out a new magazine – "Contemporary Music Scene", which was launched today.

Even the blessing message on the inaugural issue cover was written by Xia Tian.

The cover also recommended Summer's "Farewell My Concubine" and Sister Yun's "Water Town in Dreams"—it's all about people carrying each other in a sedan chair.

However, the domestic music scene is starting to pick up, and there should be a professional magazine like this.

This magazine went on to have a long run, becoming the most influential entertainment magazine in the Chinese music scene with its keen fashion sense, and establishing itself as the "No.1 magazine for trendy music"!

Because of the New Year's Day holiday, Milan and the other three did not go to work in the summer.

The four of them took Sheriff Mimi and drove to a farm in the suburbs to see Little White Dragon.

In the summer, I took the little white dragon out, brushed its fur, and then put a vest similar to a cotton-padded jacket on it to keep it warm before letting it run around for a couple of laps.

Although horses have long lifespans, if well cared for, they can live to be thirty or forty years old, and at most sixty years old.

But Little White Dragon is now 14 years old, an old horse.

Even in the summer, I don't ride it—although it can still carry a load, and even keeps tilting its head back, wanting to take its good buddy for a ride, but in the summer, 160 or 170 pounds is already a bit of a burden for it.

Reducing its burden as much as possible can help you live a few more years.

But Sheriff Mimi isn't going to tolerate that~
He jumped onto the horse's back in a flash, lay down on the cotton vest, and started riding around.

Mimi was born in 78, so she's already 16 years old, making her a senior cat.

But it's still incredibly healthy, even though it's a bit lazy.

But it's agile, has glossy fur, and is quite large, resembling a black and white cow-leopard.
It's probably because of all the supplements I took from the mall during the summer that helped me gain weight.

The four of them had a "farmhouse meal" at noon here – stewed chicken in a big iron pot, stewed eggplant and potatoes, and stewed pork with dried green beans.

On the way back, Milan said, "If only we had a stable at home, we could bring Little White Dragon back and save the trouble of only being able to come and see him once every week or two."

Summer nodded. Indeed, it was a bit inconvenient.

However, although I have many houses, I don't really have a place to put my horses. I'll think about it later.

……

While we were having dinner, CCTV broadcast the new TV series "People from Yanjing in New York".

This TV series has been in production for almost a year, and it has finally been released.

Liu Huan, whose neck is as thick as his head, sings "I have searched for you a thousand times," while the TV screen displays a distant view of New York City, with various skyscrapers.

Then subtitles appeared, including the words "Original author: Xia Tian, ​​Editors: Xia Tian, ​​Zheng Xiaolong, Feng Yiku".

CCTV's dramas have always had high ratings, and this one, with its claim of being adapted from Xia Tian's novel and mostly filmed on location in New York, is even more eye-catching.

These days, young people are more into the artsy stuff; who can't say something like, "If you love someone, send them to New York"?

That's why this TV series became a huge hit as soon as it aired!
Later, statistics showed that the viewership rating once reached 67%, which was comparable to that of the "News Broadcast".

Zheng Xiaolong called the next day. Xia Tian hung up the phone and it rang again a few seconds later. He answered and heard it was Feng Kuzi.

That would naturally be the kind of line like, "My admiration for you, Brother Tian, ​​is as boundless as a surging river." Things like a profound understanding of America, human nature, and the changes that have occurred.

The TV series became an absolute hit, allowing Zheng Xiaolong to pay off his loans, and he reportedly even had a surplus of $40.

So his efforts weren't in vain.

However, what Xia Tian didn't expect was that less than a month after the TV series became a hit, a book called "Chinese Women in Manhattan" appeared on the market. It was first serialized in "October" and then published as a book.

Summer: ??? Holy crap, people's sense of smell is getting sharper and sharper these days!

Indeed, not only are times changing, but people are changing too!

With the TV series becoming a huge hit, naturally people came to interview the original author.

However, Xia Tian remains the same as always, only collaborating with old friends—Fang Xiaoyan is practically becoming her own news spokesperson.

However, this woman is also capable, and her family is also quite well-off. She has become the deputy editor-in-chief at the age of 27!

Very awesome!
Summer: I want to use this work to tell those who want to immigrate and pursue a better life that the life you want may be on the moon or on Mars, but definitely not in the United States...

Actually, there was something else Xia Tian didn't say: Striving is a false proposition. Who can predict whether those who strive hard will end up in heaven or hell?
To be honest, the story of BJ in this novel could be changed to a story about drifting in Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, or London.

……

In early January, when "A Native of Yanjing in New York" became a hit, Xia Tian discovered that another movie was being released.

I was immediately intrigued by the name and the lead actor.

After watching it once, he was still not satisfied, so he dragged Milan Xiaoxu and Zhang Li to watch it again.

Since they are now businesswomen and bosses, watching this movie will still be beneficial.

The movie is called "Stock Fever". It was a collaboration between Hong Kong Arts and Entertainment Film Company and Xiaoxiang Film Studio, directed by Li Guoli, and starring Pan Hong and Liu Qingyun.

Pan Hong goes without saying; she's now considered a popular actress in mainland China.

Lau Ching-wan is an interesting guy. I met him a few times in the summer because he was a classmate of Ah Ying in the TVB artist training class.

This person is a late bloomer; he has good character and good acting skills.

As for director Li Guoli, probably no one would recognize his name.

But many people should know Tangren Media; he is considered Tangren's go-to director and partner.

Original Time and Space directed "Chinese Paladin", "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky", "Scarlet Heart"...

As the title suggests, this movie is about the madness of the stock market.

I won't go into details because they're quite strict with me. I've already deleted everything I mentioned about Myanmar A before.

The reason we invited Milan and the other two to see this movie is because their company will definitely go public in the future.

It's beneficial to know about Myanmar A beforehand.
Oh, by the way, movie tickets are now four yuan!

Movies are becoming less and less interesting, but ticket prices are getting more and more expensive. It would be strange if the film industry were to thrive.

……

Summer received a phone call from the United States; it was from Little Pello.

After hearing what he said, Xia Tian decided to go to the United States.

Over the phone, Pello said that Quentin was planning to make a new movie and wanted Shenlong Pictures to invest in it.

This can be seen as returning a favor. After all, although his first film, Reservoir Dogs, didn't win any major awards, it did win quite a few minor ones, and its unique style left a deep impression on many filmmakers.

The new film will definitely have no trouble finding investors.

He was able to contact Shenlong Pictures, partly to repay a debt of gratitude, and partly because their previous collaboration had been very pleasant.

When he heard that his new movie was called "Pulp Fiction," he decided to go to the United States in the summer.

Besides Quentin Tarantino's story, Pello also mentioned something else—a Japanese game company wanted to buy the rights to Resident Evil.
