1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 231: Better at Dreaming Than Cao Xueqin

After beating Xue Pan, there aren't many scenes in the summer. He only saves Xue Pan once more next year, and then You Sanjie commits suicide and Leng Erlang becomes a monk.

That's all for next year.

So it was a rare opportunity in summer for me to attend a few more days of classes at school, and my appearance rate was extremely high.

His classmates all laughed at him: "If you don't come, you won't even know when we will graduate!"

However, teachers and classmates at school all praised the landscape film "Qingcheng Tianxiayou" that Xia Tian was shot well.

They said that after seeing it, they all wanted to visit Qingcheng Mountain.

There was also the song "Wo Long Yin", which the principal arranged for us to sing on stage.

Xia Tian’s way of resisting is to play the erhu and sing “Wo Long Yin”, with a dull and low tone…

How could this be the ambitious and vigorous "Three Visits to the World"? This is clearly the failure of "The Stars Fall at Wuzhangyuan"!
Listening to the singing and the erhu, I could almost see Prime Minister Zhuge sitting on a wooden cart with white hair, the raindrops falling on his face and mixing with his tears, looking up to the sky and sighing: "Oh, heaven, how can you be so unkind to me?"

It was really tear-jerking, and the audience was moved to tears.

The entire auditorium was plunged into an unspeakable sorrow.

The principal was about to cry: I think you just want to send me away!

A few days later, a friend from CCTV told Xia Tian: "The documentary you shot is going to be released!"

Xia Tian was stunned when he heard this: When did I start making a documentary again?
When I asked, I found out that it was the film "Chinese Food Culture" that I filmed at the beginning of the year with Xiao Ri... a Japanese who was living a good life!
Although Xia Tian didn't take it seriously, he even looked down on it and didn't want to get involved.

But officially, it is very important.

After all, they live an easy life in a developed country and are now engaging in various cooperation.

Many masters are hoping to achieve some results through "cultural exchange".

The food documentary that Xia Tian was asked to host is one of them.

As a result, this documentary was broadcast in Japan some time ago - and the response was so good that it was a bit scary!

As soon as it was broadcast on TV, it won the ratings championship of the 8 o'clock drama!

Even the TV station staff were puzzled and didn't understand what was going on.

After conducting a questionnaire survey, the results showed that 55% of people chose the host artist, that is, Xia Tian!
To put it bluntly, it depends on the summer.

How much of it was based on looks, and how much was based on eloquence, humor, and attractive performance, I don’t know.

Many people also feel that this kind of commentary and performance is very fascinating, as if they were eating the delicious food on TV.

It's like the feeling of an actor's taste buds can be expressed through his facial features and expressions. It tastes better than eating it yourself!
Anyway, I'm hungry.
Given the abundance of Japanese TV programs, viewers still requested for reruns several times.

And other TV stations also bought it to broadcast it!
Some people are already thinking about this type of program, and are planning to try out a food tasting or store visiting program.

No one knew that a Japanese youth in his twenties became very interested in the show after watching it in the summer.

It just so happens that he is learning to draw comics...

Many years later, a comic book called "The Solitary Gourmet" appeared.

The author Masayuki Kuzumi said in his work: It was 1985, when I first saw Xia Tian on TV and saw his TV series "Chinese Food Culture", which gave me this inspiration...

As the saying goes, flowers bloom outside the wall, but they smell good inside. This documentary is so popular in Japan that CCTV had its eye on it. So it imported it and broadcast it on CCTV.

Look, Xia Tian and Dachun and a group of people are waiting to watch in front of the TV.

When the spring chill was not yet over, Xia Tian, ​​wearing a windbreaker and breathing heavily, took everyone to experience the capital's snacks with two crosstalk actors.

Especially in the summer, it is so delicious! And there are also post-dubbing words from the heart, all kinds of praise!
When I saw it in the summer, I felt that I was exaggerating! Is it really that delicious?
Dachun on the other side has already started chewing the air~
The release of this food documentary has allowed the young and old in Yanjing to see summer again.

Some viewers pointed at the figure on TV who was greeting the camera and said, "It's me! It's me! I'm on TV~"

What was shown on TV before was quite solemn, as if it had nothing to do with ordinary people, and everyone was just looking at other people’s things.

Now I suddenly feel like it's so close to me?
I was at the breakfast stall next to me that day, and the person who flashed by in the camera was myself.

The other people found that they were the ones who shared the seat with Xia Tian and the others! It was as if they were suddenly closer to each other... It was a bit hard to describe the feeling, but it was very intimate and comfortable.

In addition to Xia Tian, ​​two other crosstalk performers also became popular.

He was already quite famous, and now he's even more famous.

It is said that every show is now sold out, and there are audience members who asked them to talk about their experience of filming the show with Xia Tian.

For several days in a row, Shi Fukuan and Hou Yaowen said: I said it three times a day for more than a week, and I was about to vomit. Even my sleep talk was filled with summer.
I'm thinking to myself, I have to write a crosstalk in the future! Don't ask me, I'll tell you directly when the time comes!

The name of the joke is "On TV"!
Xia Tian's classmates were also confused - you skipped school to play? You really do something! Tian Er brother, Tian Er brother, take me with you next time! I can do anything~
It's both a landscape film and a documentary. According to the teacher, he has even started trying to make a TV series?

This... this person is more mortal than others!

We are all the same classmates, why are there such big differences?
Xia Tian didn’t think too much about it. He felt that these things were nothing special and most of them just happened by chance.

As for being famous, that’s nothing—I’ve gotten used to it.

At most, when you go out by bicycle, you can wear a hat or mask to cover your face.

This way, there won’t be guys, young and old, who want to stop me and chat with me.

Young girls and wives are fine, but a bunch of old men, are they so idle? ! They have so much free time that they have to work overtime!
……

On this day of rest, Xia Tian saw Xiao Xu reading his diary on the bed in the Red Building dormitory.

Xia Tian "accidentally" glanced at it, mainly because of his good eyesight~
I found that they were all written by Xiaoxu. Many of them were about the feelings of the Red Mansion and Daiyu, and many of them were about the sadness of spring and autumn. I accidentally glanced at them~
Xia Tian was worried that Xiao Xu would become addicted to the book.

In the best years of my life, I devoted myself to a book and a role, a character that I was obsessed with.

It's too easy to get stuck in this.

“Once you enter a dream, you will never wake up” is not said in vain.

Xia Tian didn't care about exposing the fact that he had "glanced" at her, and sat down on the bed and held Xiao Xu's hand.

"Xiao Xu..."

Xiaoxu was startled - when did you come in?

Xia Tian didn't notice and tried to persuade him: "Actually, Cao Xueqin's original intention was not like this. The reason why he could write Dream of the Red Chamber was because of 'what happened after waking up from the dream'. What he wanted to tell us was 'if Dongpo lives ten more years, he will definitely jump out of this circle'."

"Dream of Red Mansions is indeed fascinating and fascinating, but as readers, we need to step out of it and face life calmly, whether it is good or bad."

Seeing Xiaoxu staring at him, Xia Tian continued: "Look, Zhang Li won't indulge in it!"

Xiao Xu couldn't help laughing: "Yeah, Sister Bao is still the best~"

Zhang Li just happened to come into the room with a few apples and refused to let her go: "Okay! Are you still making fun of me? Don't run! I'm tickling you."

The two of them immediately started chasing each other.

In fact, the diary Xiaoxu was reading was written last year, but his mentality is completely different now - it has been different since Qingcheng Mountain!

Xiao Xu: You are so beautiful that you still dream of having both Daiyu and Chai. You can dream more than Cao Xueqin~
……

The top leaders held a meeting on November 11 and announced further opening up, such as foreign air routes, scope for foreign guests' activities, etc.

In the past, there was only one flight per week from China to Europe; and in Yanjing, the only foreign-related hotel was the Friendship Hotel on the North Third Ring Road.

In the past, the activities of foreigners in Yanjing were limited to an area of ​​40 miles in radius centered on Min'an Gate, which was called the "40-mile circle."

Foreigners walking in the circle are often surrounded and moved by pedestrians.

Chinese people never strike up a conversation, they just watch silently.

In the news photos that have been circulated, there is a Western female tourist visiting the Forbidden City, and the corridor is full of Chinese tourists who are looking at her.

You see the scenery in China, and the Chinese see you as the scenery.
After the meeting, this 40-mile circle no longer existed, and the scope of foreign guests' activities expanded greatly.

It is said that a special rule has been added to the elementary school student code of conduct: when seeing foreign friends on the street, do not watch, disturb, or follow them, but be warm and generous, and neither humble nor arrogant.
