1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 262: Summer of 1986

Xia Tian made an excuse and left.

I'm too lazy to argue with her, and there's no need to.

As for being so angry and mocking and provoking her, there is no need for that.

There will be many more people like this in the future. Just stay away from them and don't let them affect your mood.

Although Zun Long was silent, he was not the kind of person who turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside. For this matter, he even asked Xia Tian specifically, "Are you okay?"

Xia Tian smiled and said, "Boring."

"By the way, I'm planning on recording an album soon, so I won't be here these days. I'll let you listen to it when it's done!"

Zunlong smiled and said, "Okay."

……

I have also drawn up a "playlist" in the past two days in the summer. There is no need to write it specifically, just put together some recent songs.

Anyway, when I release my own album, there is no theme or style. I just put together the songs I have released in the past year and release them as a souvenir.

Not many people released albums at that time, and generally they just put together a collection of songs with very different styles and then released it.

Finally, the album "Summer of 1986":
"The Willow Flowers Have Fallen, and the Cuckoo Is Crying" "The Empty Stage (Dream of Red Mansions Chorus Version)" "The Road to Heaven Is Wide and Broad" "Ninety-nine Eighty-one" "Wukong"

"Lover's Mystery", "Northeast Folk Songs", "People in the Northeast Are All Lei Feng", "Home in the Northeast", "The Sound of Waves Remains the Same", "Orange Sea (Purple Music)"

Well, it can be said that the A side is TV drama style, and the B side is Northeast style~
I started recording songs in Baihua Hutong on September 9, recording one song every two days, taking it slow and leisurely.

I also invited friends from the Red Mansion crew to record a chorus - it was not in vain, I treated them to a meal and gave each of them a red envelope of 200 yuan~
Everyone is very excited about this. Although many of them have performed on stage before, this is the first time to record a music album!

It took about two weeks in the end, and the album was completed on October 10!

In the morning, I went to Baihua Hutong to finish the last bit of recording work, and then went to take a look at the newly purchased yard - the others were really not for sale, and several families had to live in them.

Okay, let’s just take these three courtyards and find someone to connect them and do the renovation.

From buying the yard to paying the money to finding someone to renovate it, Xia Tian never showed up, for fear that people would know that he had bought the yard.

It may be okay now, but in a few years, star-chasers will appear, and my "lifestyle" is not very reliable ~ I'd better be careful.

At noon, Xia Tian thought about it and decided to go to the Forbidden City to have a box lunch. I haven't been there for a few days.

When we got there, we saw Li Kuiyong and some other people chatting under the high wall. From time to time, other bikers came back and forth on their bikes to pick up people or things.

"Hey, Brother Yong, is there not much work today?" Xia Tian asked.

A group of board masters rushed to greet Xia Tian, ​​and they all loved to chat with Xia Tian, ​​which was interesting and considerate~
Li Kuiyong put out his cigarette and said, "Well, there is not much work to do. The main reason is that some old lady from England came this morning and was not allowed in. Aren't we chatting here?"

Xia Tian was confused: What old British lady? Why not let her in? A spy?!
Li Kuiyong and his friends just heard about it, and they were just a bunch of Kanye Wests who came to the city to chat.

In the summer, I asked the security guard, and he just saluted.

Xia Tian was startled: "Hey! What are you doing? I don't have the level!"

The young soldier smiled and said, "I respect Brother Tian!"

"Thank you, son. Let me ask who the old British lady they were talking about is. Why didn't they let her into the Forbidden City?"

As a result, Xia Tian was even more confused when the other party said that!
The one who came was Elizabeth II~
When she was visiting, she wanted to see the Forbidden City, but the film crew got priority and didn't let the Queen visit the Forbidden City!

Said he was afraid of delaying the filming~
"Heh~ Bellucci is so arrogant?!"

The Italians don't give face to Little Britain.
By the way, this old lady Bai is very capable, maybe she wants to compete with our elders, but do you have the strength to compete with my elders? !
Xia Tian knew the final answer—the Queen had never tried.

Give her a chance, she's useless~
……

Xia Tian went to the crew and chatted with Bellucci and Zun Long for a while, but left when he saw there was nothing else to do.

And that Chen Xiaohua looked at Xia Tian with a bit of resentment, perhaps because she felt that Xia Tian didn't like her and was deliberately avoiding her!

I am a noble American actor, how dare you look down on me?

She was actually overthinking it. Xia Tian didn't take her seriously at all. He just treated her as a stranger. How could he have time to hide from her?
Although she hated Xia Tian for trampling on her "dignity", she actually had no way to do anything about it.

After all, the director, the protagonist, and even the photography and music, all have a good relationship with Xia Tian.

She had no way out of this - and that made her hate it even more!

I am already a noble American, and I have no other options. Am I not being noble for nothing?!
Xia Tian didn't have time to pay attention to her. She was not even within the scope of his consideration.

When he walked out of the palace, he found that Li Kuiyong was still chatting with someone, but the people he was chatting with had changed.

This person is just too righteous and too particular. Since he is now the leader and has the right to divide the work, he ends up dividing more of the work among others and feels embarrassed to do more work and earn more.

You may call him old-fashioned, but Li Kuiyong feels that since he has the power, he should not use it to profit himself, but should take responsibility instead!
"Brother Yong, I don't have anything to do today, why don't we go over to your house?" Xia Tian suggested.

"Ah? Uh, that's fine! It's just too small, don't be disgusted."

"What are you talking about? Is this the kind of person you are?"

Xia Tian bought a lot of things, but Li Kuiyong kept refusing to let him go. Xia Tian said, "It's my first time going there. I want to see my aunt and nephew. Are you going to let me go empty-handed? Are you going to slap me in the face?"

Li Kuiyong had nothing to say until Xia Tian bought half of the cart. Li Kuiyong rode the cart, carrying the "supplies" on it and Xia Tian, ​​and went home.

After entering the alley, many people greeted Li Kuiyong.

"Is Kuiyong back?"

"Brother Yong got off work early today!"

Li Kuiyong practiced wrestling when he was a child. He was very strong and could fight with three or five people of his age without losing.

He was a famous hutong hanger-on back then. He was quite prestigious in his hometown.

"Hey, shopping!"

Li Kuiyong: "Ah, a friend is coming to my house for dinner."

When he passed by, a young man was surprised: "Hey, I think that person in the car looks familiar!"

"It looks familiar to me too. Where have I seen it before?"

"It seems to be summer?!"

"Who?!" an old man in his fifties next to him asked excitedly.

"Summer! That's the summer!"

"Nonsense, which Xia Tian is there? Is Xia Tian the friend Kui Yong came to eat with?"

Before anyone even entered the yard, Li Kuiyong called out, "Mom, I'm back. Wife, summer is here, please cook a few more dishes!"

Li Kuiyong's wife hurried out the door and asked, "Who's here?"

"summer."

"Xia Tian? Ah!" She seemed startled when she saw Xia Tian sitting in the car.

Xia Tian greeted: "Hello sister-in-law, I'm Xia Tian." Then she moved things with Li Kuiyong.

Xia Tian seemed to have some intimidating effect on her. She was so nervous that she didn't know what to say.

"What are you standing there for? Are you moving things?" Li Kuiyong asked.

"This thing..."

“I bought it in the summer.”

"Hey..."

Kuiyong's wife breathed a sigh of relief: If we hadn't bought so much food and daily necessities in the summer, the family might not be able to cook a few dishes to entertain us, which would have been even more embarrassing.

Xia Tian came into the house and greeted Li Kuiyong's old mother. It could be seen that she was a little confused and a little hard of hearing.

Li Kuiyong's son is eight years old. He is chubby but smart. He calls me uncle.
Their family of four still lives in the two houses left by his father Li Shunfa.

In the 14-square-meter house, his 8-year-old son and his slightly confused mother live in the inner room, and he and his wife live in the outer room.

The condition for Li Kuiyong to ride the rickshaw was that he promised not to ask for housing from the company.

Li Kuiyong has three brothers and two sisters! The youngest is one year younger than Xia Tian, ​​and they haven't started a family yet, which is not easy.

Although the couple felt that their home was too crowded and it was a bit awkward to entertain friends, Xia Tian naturally didn't care - she had lived in the stairwell and the isolated island cave for ten years, so these external things were not important anymore.

Xia Tian's relaxed attitude made Li Kuiyong and his wife feel relieved, and Li Kuiyong even felt touched suddenly.

Halfway through the meal, young men started to peek in from the door and on the wall. They were all teenagers—they were sent by their families to gather information and see if it was really summer.
Li Kuiyong asked, "What are you doing? Looking around?"

A brave neighborhood kid asked, "Uncle Yong, your guest is not Xia Tian, ​​is he?"

"Yeah? What for?"

"No, nothing. I just want to see the real person..." The young man's face turned red with embarrassment. Xia Tian is not a grown girl!
Many years later, Xia Tian should be able to say: My fans were all cultivated since childhood~
Xia Tian just happened to have an idea to discuss with Li Kuiyong, which might be useful to these neighborhood kids.

The main reason is that I saw that Brother Yong’s family was in such a difficult situation and it was difficult to help him directly, so I came up with an idea - selling ice cream!

Xia Tian told Li Kuiyong about this and that!
When Li Kuiyong heard this, he was a little confused, and his first reaction was - will this work?
But then I thought, this is what Xia Tian said, maybe it will work? Let’s give it a try!

Before the summer, when I was looking for sponsorship for the Spring Festival Gala, Journey to the West and Dream of the Red Chamber, I had interactions with many factories in Yanjing.

Although the ice cream factory failed to become a sponsor in the end, it still provided two boxes of ice cream popsicles.

You see, isn’t this a case of good deeds bringing good results?
Xia Tian planned to let Li Kuiyong's brothers and sisters and those neighbors who had not found jobs to sell ice cream together, of course, not just any ice cream.

It’s “cultural peripheral ice cream”!
The designers are the Min'an Gate Tower, Huabiao Pillar, auspicious beasts and the like!

Communicate with the ice cream factory and the Forbidden City and sell them at the entrance of the Forbidden City!
Who among the people from all over the country who come to Yanjing doesn’t want to take a look at Min’an Gate and see his portrait?

Since you are here, eating the special "cultural peripheral ice cream" which is five cents or ten cents more expensive is also a kind of commemoration!

At this time, everyone is engaged in the tertiary industry and is busy increasing factory income, which is very feasible.

If they do a good job, they will even work closely with the Palace Museum in the summer to come up with other projects.
For example, selling souvenirs and buying souvenirs in scenic spots is a common practice!
