1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 265 You, my friend...

Xia Tian was reading a newspaper in class. The newspaper contained information about "pension insurance".

Starting from this October, contract workers in state-owned enterprises will have their pensions paid based on their own wages.

This is the first stage. According to the plan, there will be a second stage. The preliminary estimate is that the universal contract system will be implemented in the second half of 93, and then it will be fully promoted and popularized...

Xia Tian compared the information in his mind and found that the progress of social security pensions in different places was different. Generally, personal accounts were established in 1996...

This is one of those topics that cannot be discussed in depth, as it is extremely destructive to fairness... It has a kind of hazy beauty like "Ming Dynasty officials had very low salaries, how did they support their families?"

At this time, Zang Jinsheng and the others came into the classroom. When they saw Xia Tian, ​​they smiled: "Hey, Brother Tian Er? What a rare guest!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xia Tian rolled his eyes at them.

If Teacher Wang heard this, she would be furious again!
Zang Jinsheng and the others came over and asked, "Brother Tian'er, have you heard about that American magician?"

"What's the matter?" Xia Tian asked.

"I just heard there was going to be a magic show on the Great Wall or something!"

"is it?"

"Of course I am. I heard he is a famous magician overseas!"

I vaguely heard about it from a friend at CCTV in the summer - it seemed that the American magician David was going to perform a show of walking across the Great Wall! It was like recording a show!

I won't say much about magic, it's all fake, sleight of hand, etc. Xia Tian has learned a lot of traditional tricks, and I can also do poker card magic.

However, David Copperfield is also very famous, and his various large-scale magic tricks are amazing - making an airplane "disappear", making the Statue of Liberty "disappear", "traveling through" the Great Wall, etc.

David and his production team were the first American production group to produce American television programs here.

……

In addition to the magician David, CCTV has been busy with another thing recently.

Just this month, CCTV wanted to buy a documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) - but it had no money!

CCTV: I want to buy it, but I have no money!
BBC: You don't have money, what do you mean by Jiebao? Do you want to watch a porn movie?!

So CCTV approached Coca-Cola, hoping that they would provide a sponsorship fee of 20 yuan in exchange for playing Coca-Cola advertisements before and after the film.

You should know that CCTV is not allowed to broadcast advertisements of foreign-funded enterprises. Once you agree to this sponsorship, you will have the opportunity to face consumers directly through authoritative media, which is really rare.

After weighing the pros and cons, Coca-Cola made a decision - to use one year's profit from us in exchange for an opportunity to appear on CCTV!
This advertisement conveys a message to the people of China: Coca-Cola can be sold openly in the Chinese market.

The annual profit is only 20, maybe even less... Isn’t it a bit miserable?
It would take me several years to write a novel in the summer!
Now a bottle of Coca-Cola costs more than 40 cents, which is not bad. But most people are definitely not used to it.

Some people also say: Not as good as white snake grass water~
That thing was invented in the 1960s and is said to have many health benefits. Most people can't drink it!

But now that we have close ties with the West, many concepts have begun to change 180 degrees.

After all, this delicious food comes from abroad and is very famous!

Therefore, some consumers who can afford it began to try and enjoy this expensive "luxury product". Coca-Cola has gradually become a good gift for people!
Just like malted milk in previous years! I would give a few bottles as gifts during the Chinese New Year!
I mentioned it before – some people cut out the Coke logo and pasted it on their bicycles as “bike stickers”!
I have to say, the changes are really huge!
Also this month, the Bank of China head office began issuing the Great Wall Card based on the bank cards issued in various provinces and cities.

This is China's first national bank card brand!

When Xia Tian learned the news, he was shocked: It turns out that we already have bank cards?
I thought it was at least in the 1990s!
He, Milan and Dachun all got one. No matter whether they can use it or not, it’s nice to keep it as a souvenir!

As a result, within two days, Dachun complained to Xiatian: "That bank card is not easy to use at all!"

"What's wrong?" Xia Tian asked.

Dachun said, "I use that card to withdraw money, but every time it says there is insufficient balance! Why open a bank without money?!"

Xia Tian: "You've saved the money, so why don't you just withdraw it? You might as well just rob it!"

I'll get you an AK and I'll give you a rifle. Let's become bigger and stronger and create greater glories!
Damn, you didn't save a penny, yet you want to withdraw money from the bank? Do you really think they are a vulnerable group?!
Finally, another thing drew Dachun's attention away from the bank card.

The animated series adapted from the summer comic "Calabash Brothers" is now on air!

It was only shown sporadically in cinemas before, but now it is finally being broadcast on television as a cartoon.

At the same time, the second part of "The Calabash Brothers" also began production.

In the past, such things were always dragged on. There were many departments and leaders who would become obstacles, and it was necessary to overcome many difficulties before the work could be created.

Now it seems to have accelerated all of a sudden!

It makes me feel a little uncomfortable in summer.

Once "Calabash Brothers" was broadcast, it became a hit among thousands of children!
On the street you can hear those little kids shouting: "I am the eldest, I am very strong~"

In the summer, the number of "fan letters" has increased dramatically every day, and many of them are full of pinyin + typos. But I can't read them all.

In the past, Milan always liked to open the letters to Xia Tian and read them one by one when she had nothing to do - treating them as a hobby and a snack to go with wine!
If she found anything interesting, she would show it to Xia Tian, ​​and Xia Tian would sometimes reply to a few of the messages.

And now, even with Xiaoxu and Zhang Li added, it is completely unbearable.

I receive dozens of emails a day, and it takes me one or two hours to read them all!

And like now, after the summer works are released and become a big hit, there will be peaks again and again!
Half a sack of letters at a time! The postman needs to put them on the back rack of the green postal bicycle and deliver them on a special trip.

I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all!
Now, the storage of letters alone has occupied two rooms. Fortunately, this courtyard has two entrances, and there are still many rooms. However, no matter how much the children like "Calabash Brothers", they have no say.

And children's works are not taken very seriously, so it's okay.

However, there was another thing that added to the popularity - all of "Detective Di Renjie: The Blue Shirt Story" serialized in "Legends of Ancient and Modern Times" in the summer was published.

He has always enjoyed a very high status among domestic martial arts novel fans.

After I finished writing "Kunlun", I didn't write again for a long time. I wonder how many people are looking forward to it.

Therefore, this time, before "Detective Di Renjie" was even published, the news released by the editorial department caused a sensation.

The second case, “The Blue Shirt Case”, has already excited countless people, who believe that it has reached a certain peak!

Many not-so-serious newspapers published a lot of news and comments about "Detective Di Renjie".

The editor-in-chief of "Legends of Ancient and Modern Times" commented: "The Blue Shirt Case has a very small entry point. It is obviously an ordinary gossip. However, as the plot develops, it is actually related to the shocking case of framing the crown prince. In the end, it even evolved into a dispute over the succession of the Wu Zhou Dynasty!"

"But the funny thing is that the motive of the person who created all this had nothing to do with power. All he wanted was the wealth that the princes and nobles were born with!"

"In just 100,000 words, The Blue Shirt perfectly shows readers what 'the hidden clues are hidden deep within'. It makes readers realize that the clues to the truth are often hidden in seemingly insignificant little things. There is not a single useless detail in the entire case!"

What made Xia Tian really realize that his "detective novel" really had some influence was when he went to Uncle Wu's house - and found that Uncle Wu was also reading "Detective Di Renjie" and was quite interested!

Uncle Wu even pulled Xia Tian aside to discuss for quite a while.

He patted the book of ancient and modern legends and said, "Being an official and solving cases are the same. You can't go with the flow. You need to go against the flow to be a master. Otherwise, you will always be a seventh-rank county magistrate." Uncle Wu looked at Xia Tian and smiled, "The words of Lord Di in your book are quite interesting if you savor them carefully!"

After chatting about "Detective Di Renjie" for a while, Uncle Wu was very optimistic about Xia Tian's portrayal of Lord Di, and felt that he had the aura of a prime minister.

He also asked Xia Tian: "Have you written anything else recently?"

Xia Tian nodded: "There are two novellas."

"Oh? About what?"

One of them is "Bird Without Feet", which has not been published yet.

There is another one. It was because of the broadcast of "Triumph at Midnight". I was inspired after watching it in the summer and wrote an article about the story of a retired veteran.

Speaking of which, I have to mention an "acquaintance" from my early years. That was Liu Yiku from Ma Wen's school!

He was interested in Milan at first, but Milan ignored that.

Later, he joined the army and served in southern Xinjiang. But he was injured and his brain was damaged by artillery fire. Now he has returned.

According to Ma Wen, Liu Yiku would have nightmares and scream at night, as if he was fighting a fierce battle with someone.

Xia Tian thought it was "post-traumatic stress disorder", so he wrote this story about a veteran who participated in the Korean War and suffered from mental trauma. The name is "The Charge Sounds Every Night", and he also wrote a song "The Motherland Will Not Forget".

"Oh? You wrote a song? It sounds like a military song?"

"Yes!"

"Then sing it!"

"In the vast sea of ​​people, who am I?

Among the rushing waves, which one am I?

in the army that conquered the universe

That's me who gave silently

In the long river of brilliant career

It's me who runs forever

I don’t need you to know me, I don’t want you to know me
I blend my youth into the rivers of my motherland

The mountains know me, the rivers know me

Motherland will not forget
Won't forget me

......"

"Okay! Okay! Xiaotian, publish it as soon as possible! Both the song and the article should be published!"

They talked for a long time and ate again. Before leaving, Xia Tian saw that Uncle Wu had something to say.

Sure enough, Uncle Wu took advantage of Xia Tian's arrival at the door when no one was around and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Tian, ​​do you still have the golden grass you brought back from the Northeast? A friend of mine also wants some..."

Xia Tian: Uncle Wu, this friend of yours couldn’t be yourself, could it be?
No, did you drink all the water from that big bun? Uncle Wu, you have to take care of your body!

"Yes! I asked my friend in the Northeast to mail some to me. It's not expensive. You can keep it and make tea with it!"

"my friend."

"Yes! You and your friends can drink..."
