1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 66 Fate
To be honest, it was a risky decision for those young people to choose the park outside the art museum as the venue for the exhibition.

The reasons for this decision are, firstly, that it is impossible for the higher authorities to allow such an exhibition to be held in any venue, and secondly, it is for the purpose of "promoting mainstream art".

They were almost playing a game of cat and mouse with their uncle.

Fortunately, my uncle hasn’t shown up yet. It was the park manager who came, and he arrived yesterday.

That's why the young man sighed, feeling that the exhibition might not be able to go on.

"This is a park, not an exhibition hall. With so many people here, it's so noisy. Look, there are popsicle wrappers all over the floor..." What they said was not wrong.

But this is a public place after all. If people do something spontaneous, it won't be considered a violation of the rules, right?

Those present pledged to maintain a clean environment, clean up when they left, and not to cause any negative impact on the park.

The park manager did not enforce the F authority, and soon the uncle arrived.

However, there seem to be hundreds of people here now, so we definitely can't deal with it too directly.

Those folk artists argued with my uncle, but because there were so many audiences, my uncle could do nothing about it.

This is why Xia Tian doesn’t want to get involved in this “muddy water”.

Being half a step ahead of others is a genius; being one step ahead is a madman.

If you are two steps faster, you will be dead!

It’s as if Xia’s father and mother would deny that their son is a genius on various occasions.

Xia Tian doesn't want to show off her uniqueness, even though she is already very unique.

But it is better not to get involved in incidents that may cause problems.

Just like the goal I set for myself before, just survive in the early stage and then have fun ten years later!
This is not the time to act recklessly.

……

As October begins, a new movie comes out - "Look at This Family"!
This turned out to be a comedy!
Although it is called a drama now, in Xia Tian’s opinion, it is a comedy!
This is new and interesting.

After all, the atmosphere was tense before, and the few movies that were made were those with a strong "combat" quality.

Although this film "Look at This Family" also contains a lot of thought, it is relatively "entertaining".

Rare and rare!

The style is more entertaining, which makes the friends like this comedy very much. Milan dragged Xia Tian to watch it five or six times and still didn’t get tired of it!

After showing the movie, Xia's father said something meaningful to Xia Tian: "The atmosphere in the literary and art circles has also begun to open up!"

Xia Tian nodded in agreement.

It is worth mentioning that the leading actors of this drama are “familiar faces” – Chen Xiaoer and Liu Xiaoqing!

Chen Xiaoer still had his hair at this time, but his irresistible comedic talent was already evident.

After all: this nose, these eyes, and this head, only appear once every few thousand years!

Liu Xiaoqing had just finished starring in "Little Flower" and, as later generations would say, he was at the height of his popularity!

However, in "Look at This Family", she played a supporting role as a very willful female salesperson, which was really infuriating to anyone who saw it.

Just a few months ago, you were still the "little flower" that everyone loved and pitied. How come you became so annoying so quickly? !
After the movie was over in the summer, many viewers could be heard criticizing Liu Xiaoqing.

It is difficult for audiences these days to separate the actors from their characters.

They feel that the image on the screen is the actor himself. This is undoubtedly very embarrassing.

Milan and Dachun both saw this very clearly.

Not to mention Milan, she always has a bit of weird wisdom - never in the right place.

As for Dachun… it was beyond Xia Tian’s expectation. He said when he was watching the movie: “That’s Xiaohua from the previous movie, and this is Zhang Lan from this movie. They are not the same person!”

This is a very wise statement!

Xia Tian: Can’t you tell that you are a player who appears foolish despite being wise?

Anyway, Yan Jing really dislikes this "Zhang Lan", and Xiao Dong never expresses his opinion much.

On the contrary, Ma Xiaojun was also very angry that Xiaohua had become so vulgar, but the next day, he came to terms with it.

In addition, Xia Tian also asked Fang Yan, Ye Jing and Feng Pants what they thought...

It is quite interesting to see different attitudes of different people from this incident.

……

"Keep practicing, don't be lazy! I'm watching you!" Xia Tian said without turning his head while drawing a sketch.

Milan behind him rolled his eyes at him, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued dancing.

Milan: Why don't you just stare? You're so good at talking!
The tight black stretch ankle-length pants she wore - this was something that only Yu Beibei and her colleagues at the Diplomatic Academy could get!

No socks, very cool... Door keys were tied to the ankles - only in the bathhouse. After the National Day, Milan's parents got a refund. Although they were gone, their treatment and other things had been restored.

Grandma moved back to the Diplomatic Academy where conditions were better, but Milan still liked to live next door in the summer.
Because he was relieved and his material supply was up, Milan felt that he was gaining weight too fast and kept "complaining" to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian: What are you trying to show off to me, little guy?

Yu Beibei is now beginning to envy Milan - compared to the rosy and plump Milan, she seems like a little girl who has not yet developed!
So Xia Tian suggested that she dance to lose weight and also taught her some yoga moves.

Since you have so much energy, why not exercise?

Practice until you can fall asleep the moment you touch the pillow, and then you won’t have any random thoughts!

Here in Milan, an "arms display" was held in the name of "dancing to lose weight".

Summer has put down her paintbrush over there and the sketch is finished.

He checked the time and turned on the radio.

Soon, a slapping sound came from the radio, and a sonorous and high-pitched female voice rang out: "Last time in the book, it was said..."

This is the long storytelling "The Biography of Yue Fei", and the storyteller is Ms. Liu Lanfang.

Last month, Anshan People's Radio Station in Liaoning Province broadcast the long-form storytelling "The Biography of Yue Fei" for the first time, which quickly caused a sensation.

After that, it became popular on radio broadcasts all over the country. Later statistics showed that a total of 66 radio stations across the country had reproduced and broadcast "The Biography of Yue Fei" within one year!
Even Milan on the side stopped his "arms display" and sat next to Xia Tian, ​​listening to the book carefully.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that these women have other plans, it’s hard to say!
……

At noon that day, Xia Tian went to the Friendship Store with old man Zhu Youguang.

This place was originally only for foreigners, diplomats and government officials. This is a place to earn foreign exchange!
The prices of imported products sold in Friendship Stores are often much higher than those in their countries of origin, but foreign visitors have no choice but to purchase them with foreign exchange.

This "special supply system" was learned from Big Brother Russia.

The country is in a very difficult situation now. Foreign countries don't recognize the RMB we print, and we have no money to buy anything.

Not to mention the current reform and opening up, especially when money is needed.

This money is not yours, it is American money!
That foreign exchange certificate is exchanged for US dollars!

Earning foreign exchange is simply our "political correctness" now. There are also many things that are specially exported, such as porcelain, silk, and antiques.

An American journalism professor said: "If money could speak, then the voice of foreign exchange certificates would be 50% louder than that of RMB."

But it’s open now!
In addition, Zhu Youguang had some face, and in the summer he still had the foreign exchange coupons left by Lao Pai Luo, so they could also come and visit this store that specialized in making money from foreigners.

In fact, there are quite a few domestic consumers in the store now, and there will be more in the future.

Outside Donghuamen, the facade of the Friendship Store is quite upscale, with a few cars parked at the door, which is rare nowadays.

At the beginning of the year, the reform and opening-up policy was finalized, and more foreigners came to China, and the store's business became prosperous.

After entering, the merchandise is even more dazzling.

Imported candies, chocolates, handicrafts, Moutai, cigarettes; color TVs, refrigerators, bicycles, sewing machines, fashionable clothes...all the things that are in short supply outside are available here.

But Xia Tian and the other two didn't come here for these things.

The two were browsing the antique counter.

The two of them strolled around and drooled all over the floor, but they really couldn't bring themselves to do anything!
There are indeed good things, and there are a lot of them.

But it's too expensive.

Zhu Youguang whispered to Xia Tian: "This is too expensive, more than three times the market value! They are killing the fat sheep!"

Xia Tian laughed: "This is just taking advantage of foreigners! There is nothing we can do about it!"

Both of them had things they liked. Zhu Youguang liked a painting and a porcelain cup, and thought it would be a pity if they were lost to foreign countries.

I fell in love with a rosewood desk in the summer. It’s so beautiful and in great condition!
Unlike Zhu Youguang, Xia Tian doesn’t like big items like porcelain, calligraphy and painting, but prefers some miscellaneous items. Interesting things!

But the price tag on this thing is just horrible!
It has even increased a bit compared to when we came to see it last week. It seems that the business at Friendship Store is really good now.

But in the end, Xia Tian still bought something, although Zhu Youguang felt it was not worth it and was meaningless.

It was a small box of brooches, made of mutton-fat jade, hand-carved, with simple but different patterns.

Each one costs 3.3 yuan. I bought a box of 14 in the summer. There were originally , but it seems one was lost.

Although it is hand-carved, with good craftsmanship and good materials, it is a modern product, the so-called foreign exchange earning export product.

It's not an antique, it's just a work of art.

But in the summer I thought it was good and felt it was a "fate", so I bought it.

Sure enough, I guessed it right
