1990My Entertainment System

Chapter 163 95!
On the first day of the New Year, the Xia family planned to participate in a group activity to cultivate their refined tastes—by watching a dance performance.

—I was invited by the theater management in the summer.

I plan to take Milan, Xiaoxu, and Zhang Li for a stroll in the summer.

I've been busy with the children for over a month now, it's time to relax.

Prepare the milk and take the baby to the grandparents' house.
Let's enjoy a moment in a world of four~ (Why does this world of four seem a bit strange?)
As it turned out, Xia Tian miscalculated. When she saw the program schedule, she felt something was amiss.

Why is there a song called "Xiang Lady" on the program, performed by Liu Xiaoli?
She doesn't seem to be from this theater!
Mi Zong, Xiao Xu, and Zhang Li are all incredibly intelligent, especially when it comes to Xia Tian—they know her inside and out, her strengths and weaknesses perfectly.
One look at his change in expression and I knew something was wrong.

But no one said anything.

However, after the performance, Xia Tian planned to go and say hello.

If someone sees you and then tries to avoid you, it actually indicates a problem!
You have to say hello to everyone in the summer!
Mr. Mi: "Okay, you go ahead in the summer, we won't bother you anymore~"

"What are you saying! Come on, let's go together!" Xia Tian wanted to prove her innocence by dragging Milan and the others along.

As a result, Milan and the others didn't go; they just stood there laughing.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaoli came looking for her—after her performance, she saw Xia Tian sitting in the second row backstage while checking the audience's reaction!
I was just thinking of coming over to thank him, but I didn't expect him to be chatting and laughing with three beautiful women!
Mr. Mi was particularly funny at this moment, pretending not to know him!

"Ah, thank you, Mr. Xia. We'll be going now!" he said, pulling Xiao Xu and Zhang Li away.

As a result, Xia Tian pointed at her and said to Liu Xiaoli, "My lover."

The finger twitched slightly—the other two too, three lovers, that's normal, right?

Mr. Mi was extremely unhappy: This is pointless! Can't you just pretend you're single?

Liu Xiaoli was indeed just there to express her gratitude. Although she knew that Xia Tian might have a very high status and connections in Yanjing, and that she was having a hard time raising her daughter, she didn't think about anything else.

—After all, her previous marriage had only ended a few months ago!

On the way back, Mi kept subtly probing and asking all sorts of questions!

Milan: "Oh my! This dance is absolutely beautiful! It has great posture and technique, and what's even more remarkable is its spirit!"

Even Xiao Xu and Zhang Li couldn't help but nod in agreement; the dance "Xiang Lady" was indeed too beautiful!

After all, it is a masterpiece honed over ten years by the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater, and it has won five awards.

I'm starting to understand the pleasures of ancient monarchs.
Then Milan showered Liu Xiaoli with compliments, praising her figure, her temperament, her delicate features, and how she possessed a blend of gentleness and strength...

Then he glanced at Xia Tian!

Summer: "Hey~ let's stop! Their kids are already six or seven years old!"

"Ah...you found out so much about it?"

"I……"

Summer could only recount what had happened: she had passed through Wuhan on her way to Hong Kong to see dancing, and this time, on her train back, she happened to run into it again...

Milan: "What a coincidence!"

"Fate my ass!"

These women have abnormal estrogen levels; they need to be taught a lesson!
……

Today is the first day of the new year, and naturally many policies have been announced.

For example, the formal implementation of the "Firmly Actuated Valve"~
Oh, by the way, the newspaper said that the World Trade Organization was established today, also known as the WTO!

Later, we paid a considerable price to get in!
Summer learned about a major industry event today through a phone call from a friend in the film and television industry.

Director Zhou Xiaowen and screenwriter Lu Wei have been working on the script for "Qin Song" since 1989, which took six years. Today, the filming has finally been confirmed!
Hong Kong's Ocean Pictures has decided to invest 4000 million to produce a film starring Marvin and Ge You as the two male leads!

Zhou Xiaowen previously directed "The Price of Madness," a film from 88 with very explicit content, the opening scene of which shows a girl taking a bath through frosted glass.

She also later directed the Hu Jun version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," with Liu Qianqian playing the role of Xiaolongnü...

Screenwriter Lu Wei is considered one of the top screenwriters in mainland China; he wrote the screenplays for both "Farewell My Concubine" and "To Live".

Although those in the industry were overjoyed by such a large-scale investment.

With the domestic film market in a slump, it needs big-budget productions like this to boost morale!
But Xia Tian remembers that the movie was technically removed from streaming platforms after only a few days!

The biggest problem with some historical drama writers is that they first determine a central idea to express, and then edit and change history based on that central idea.

They use historical figures as their actors, and according to their own fabricated stories, they showcase their own values ​​and beliefs.

In this film, Gao Jianli and Qin Shi Huang are like brothers who are born to each other. The paralyzed princess, played by Xu Qing, was cured by being raped by Ge You and Gao Jianli.

One of Qin Shi Huang's generals was killed by one of his princesses...

What kind of rubbish is this?!
Those who study history, Chinese literature, or are simply interested in history will be furious after reading this!

It's said that "The Emperor's Shadow" was banned because of a certain director's comment: "Is it okay to make up a story about Qin Shi Huang?" This film will definitely not be shown in the summer!
……

That evening, Milan was watching TV when she accidentally came across a channel and saw a new animated film!
Upon closer inspection, it's Liaoning TV, "Volver"?!

This animated series claims to be American, but its animation style is typical of Japan; it uses the same combination shot to drag out the time in every episode, which leads countless young viewers to imitate it by shouting and yelling all day long.

All I remember after growing up is this one sentence: "I'll make up the head!"

Not long after the cartoon aired, the street stalls in Yanjing were filled with low-quality counterfeit toys, which shows just how popular the cartoon was.

Mr. Mi was so engrossed in watching that he even breastfed his child on the sofa!
……

In the early part of January, Xia Tian was mainly busy with the Spring Festival Gala.

We need to put on a show!
He's been on every year since 83. Even if he doesn't want to be on now, the director won't allow it!

In the past few days, something else has caught Xia Tian's attention.

The government has abolished the planned economy policy for animation, which had been in place for over forty years!
From then on, China Film Group Corporation stopped acquiring animated films.

In the future, the production and broadcast of "animated films" will be independently managed by production companies and production companies, making animated films the first film genre to be introduced to the market in the domestic film industry.

At this point, the management philosophy and production model under the planned economy system completely collapsed, and the creative system established by the older generation of Shanghai Animation Film Studio artists began to crumble.

In fact, our mainstream values ​​have never been able to tolerate this kind of entertainment.

When we talk about cultural "invasion," we're referring to movies, TV series, games, anime, music, variety shows, and so on.

When we talk about cultural export, we're talking about Confucius Institutes, Chinese Kung Fu, acupuncture and cupping, dumplings for Chinese New Year...

Our overall social atmosphere is serious, even to the point of being somewhat hypocritical.

If it were truly serious, that would be fine. But would you dare to describe and discuss it seriously?
Preserve heavenly principles and extinguish human desires...

But there's good news too!

That is, the Post and Telecommunications Bureau provides Internet access services to the public!
However, the internet speed at this time was... well, let's just say it was terrible!
It almost suffocated the exciting summer!
He specially bought a computer, got an extra landline number, and installed a phone line for internet access—otherwise, he couldn't make or receive calls while online, and he couldn't access the internet while making calls!
As a result, the computer seemed to freeze!
……

On January 21, "A Chinese Odyssey" was released in Hong Kong, aiming to compete for the Lunar New Year film season.

It also ran into Rumble in the Bronx on the same day.

I heard Ah Ying say on the phone that "A Chinese Odyssey" received bad reviews, its opening day box office was mediocre, and it was hard to say what would happen in the summer.

It can only be said that it conforms to the original trajectory.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Tian suddenly thought of "The Legend of Wukong"!
This can be considered an alternative interpretation derived from "A Chinese Odyssey".

The classic works are classics precisely because they can be interpreted from multiple perspectives and in multiple ways.

A dark fantasy Journey to the West would be a great idea!
Or, could you write it down?
There's no rush to publish it. We'll wait until "A Chinese Odyssey" gains popularity before releasing it, which will probably spark a lot of discussion among young people!
For Xia Tian now, influence and money aren't that important anymore, but if he can surprise or shock others, he might find it somewhat interesting.
Oh right, how about we insert some content from "Black Myth: Wukong"?

For example, remember when the Buddha said at the Ullambana Festival: "The suffering of sentient beings is mostly due to their failure to keep the precepts and their indulgence in desires." To me, that's utter nonsense!
"Do not kill, for hatred will never cease. Do not steal, for the strong and the weak are no different from me. Do not commit adultery, for all sentient beings are sins. Do not lie, for dreams are illusions, bubbles, and emptiness. Do not crave alcohol, for fear and worry are impermanent. Do not indulge in pleasure, for youth is but a fleeting moment. Do not be greedy for sleep, for suffering will not bring liberation. Do not indulge in lust, for all actions are without origination."

Haha, just thinking about how the monks would be furious and yell at us if they saw this makes me want to laugh!
However, the most urgent task is not "The Legend of Wukong".

This is easy to write; it won't take more than a week.

The important thing now is Rumble in the Bronx!
Rumble in the Bronx performed well, gaining considerable recognition not only in Hong Kong and China but also in the United States, which opened the door to Hollywood for him.

—I've been there before, but I wasn't well received.

This film grossed 9500 million yuan at the Chinese box office, ranking first for the year. It also kicked off the Lunar New Year film season!

Hong Kong box office reached HK$5700 million, ranking first for the year.

The island's box office reached NT$5378 million, ranking first for the year.

South Korea had 94 moviegoers, ranking first for the year.

Japan's box office reached 6.35 million yen...

Due to the immense popularity of "Rumble in the Bronx" in Asia, New Line Cinema in the United States acquired the exclusive rights to the film.

Rather than letting those Americans profit from this, I'd rather do it myself!
In the summer, he directly contacted Xiao Pailuo and asked Shenlong Pictures to buy the North American distribution rights from Golden Harvest!

……

The next afternoon, Xia Tian went out to attend the wrap party for the film "In the Heat of the Sun".

If Milan hadn't been pregnant and giving birth, she probably would have gone to the film set every day to watch the excitement.

After all, watching two women get jealous and fight over a man is just too interesting!
This film's budget was seriously over budget; Marvin, that son of a bitch, makes movies as if he has no plan at all.

No, it's like having a plan is the same as not having one!
A series of schemes that will ruin investors!
