1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 74 Winning the Prize? Me!

"Let's go, this way!"

Led by a friend, Xia Tian and Da Chun walked down a flight of stairs and went all the way down to the underground.

Because of the relationship with the Russian bear back then, we dug deep holes and stored up food.

Starting in September 69, all large and medium-sized cities in the north began to conduct air defense exercises...

In order to prevent nuclear weapons, not only is there three-line construction, but there is also extensive civil defense construction under the city of Yanjing.

The interconnected passages and spaces make it look like an underground city.

This deep underground space is not very useful now. This year, the higher-ups plan to make use of it.

So they used part of the space to open the Qianmen Arts and Crafts Service Department, which sells study treasures, enamel jade, jewelry, celebrity paintings and calligraphy, tourist medicinal materials and other kinds of handicrafts.

At the same time, services such as traditional Chinese medicine consultation and seal engraving are also provided.

Of course, most of these things are aimed at foreigners - to earn foreign exchange.

Since most of the citizens of Yanjing at that time had participated in the construction, few citizens would go to visit. Over time, it became a habit for the underground city to only receive W guests.

Now it is gradually becoming a foreign tourist attraction.

In summer and early spring, people come here to have a look around and see if there are any good things; secondly, they come to take pictures.

From now on, this underground place will be considered semi-abandoned and no one is allowed to enter.

Now take some pictures as a souvenir.

Dachun carried a camera around his neck, skillfully found the angle and light, and pressed the shutter, freezing the summer and the underground store at that moment in the picture.

At this time, you still have to measure the light intensity and adjust the exposure! Unlike later cameras, which are already point-and-shoot.

You know what, there are a lot of good things in this underground "mall". Xia Tian saw a lot of things and was itching to go there.

But after thinking about his wallet, he had no choice but to buy a painting with great reluctance.

Xu Beihong's "Running Horse", 13 yuan!

Xu Beihong was good at using horses to represent people and objects to express his feelings, thereby expressing his patriotic enthusiasm.

The horses painted by Xu Beihong are "all the ordinary horses in the history", with a unique spirit of vigor and heroic spirit.

Judging from the inscription on this painting, this "Running Horse" was created during the Second C-Sud Battle in the autumn of 1941.

At this time, the War of Resistance was in a stalemate between the enemy and us. The devils wanted to defeat us completely and make the Kuomintang government surrender before launching the Pacific War.

Therefore, they tried their best to launch the Csha Battle many times, attempting to open up the mountain city, the throat of the north-south transportation.

In the second battle, we suffered a defeat and C Sand was occupied by the Japanese invaders.

When Xu Beihong heard that the country was in crisis, he was extremely anxious.

He painted "Running Horses" overnight to express his anxiety.

In this painting, Xu Beihong used rich and unrestrained ink to outline the major turning points such as the head, neck, chest, and legs, and used a dry brush to sweep out the mane and tail, making the changes in thickness, dryness, and wetness appear natural.

The straight lines of the horse's legs are slender and powerful, like a steel knife that can penetrate the back of paper, while the arcs of the abdomen, buttocks and mane and tail are very elastic and dynamic.

Overall, the picture is larger in the front and smaller in the back, with a strong sense of perspective. The outstretched legs and horse head have a strong impact, as if they are about to break through the picture.

I love summer very much!
Although there are many good things, this one is my favorite. Spend your money on what you like!

Speaking of which, it’s now.

Looking back, 13? You're dreaming!
In the 80 years from 90 to 10, these antiques and cultural relics were almost worthless and had no market. Apart from foreigners, almost no one in China would ask about them.

The current collecting circle is really small.

Not only are there so many good things, but no one has the spare money.

Don’t you think this is a cause for concern?

As the saying goes, antiques are valuable in prosperous times, and gold is valuable in troubled times. Many people understand this truth.

But who could have imagined that we would be able to catch up to world-class levels in just 30 years and usher in a great era of prosperity?

I only thought about it in summer~
……

On May 5, newspapers reported that the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards, which had been suspended for many years, was resumed, and the Film Association held the third Hundred Flowers Awards Ceremony in Yanjing.

The film "Little Flower" won the 79 Ministry of Rites Outstanding Film Award and the Best Feature Film Award at the rd Hundred Flowers Awards.

Chen Chong, who was a student at Shanghai Foreign Languages ​​College at the time, won the title of "Best Actress" at the first Hundred Flowers Awards after the movement for her outstanding performance in "Little Flower".

Xia Tian still had some impression of Ms. Chen. Like other famous actresses, she went abroad to pursue a better life after becoming famous.

But after ten or twenty years, you will have to go back to your hometown to find a way to make a living.

For example, the movie "The Sent-Down Girl" in which Xiaolu does hair was directed by Chen Chong.

It's a scar within a scar, it's banned.

She also starred in "The Sun Also Rises" and had a very perky butt... Towards the end of the month, Zhang Qilin, the editor of "Children's Literature", found Xia Tian.

This time he was not here to urge him to submit his manuscript, but to inform him to attend the National Children's Literature and Art Creation Award Ceremony with 10,000 people.

Xia Tian: "Ah?! What?"

"National Children's Literary Creation Awards Ceremony for Ten Thousand People!"

Zhang Qilin was a little excited and his face turned red.

In his opinion, this is a great honor!

Because Mr. Jing Hongke had published many excellent literary works in Children's Literature before, the response was very enthusiastic and the industry also gave high praise.

Plus that nursery rhyme "Where is Spring"... he has become the top figure in the field of children's literature and art?!

Xia Tian asked around about the people who would be attending the conference, and when he heard a few familiar names, he was a little confused!

Is it not okay for me to go?
Do they know that Jinghongke is 16 years old this year?

Zhang Qilin pressed Xia Tian's shoulders and said, "Then don't let them know!"

Well, the pit that I stepped into always needs others to step into it, so that I don’t seem so stupid~
Xia Tian thinks that his pen name Jinghongke is a good choice~
No matter what, on the afternoon of the 30th, Xia Tian still put on the new clothes and shoes that her mother had bought for her and went to the conference hall to attend the award ceremony.

Xia's father and mother were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night! They almost didn't come with us~
When Xia Tian took the letter of introduction to the guard, the guard didn't react for a long time - you are not here to greet guests? You are here to receive the award?!

When Xia Tian walked in, it really broadened my horizons and I looked around.

This is my first time coming to this place!

Moreover, he also met Aunt Deng here.

Aunt Deng came here because she heard that he had won an award. Her job is just like this...

There were more than 300 participants in total!

The scene was very formal, so it's hard to describe. I can only say that it was an unprecedentedly grand, extremely solemn, and unique high-level conference...

Some leaders met with some of the award winners before the meeting and took photos with them.

The older generations all wore Zhongshan suits with a pen in their chest pocket, looking very decent.

In the summer, a young man in a white shirt stands out among a crowd of people who are at least 30 years old...

Many people were curious and started talking to him. After learning that he was Jing Hongke, some were surprised, some laughed out loud, and some could even recite the short stories he had written...

Among these people, there are many who I could only see in books and news in the past summer.

A total of 212 winning works were selected by the conference, divided into first, second and third prizes.

Among the more than 200 winners are Ye Shengtao, Bing Xin, Wan Laiming, who wrote "Havoc in Heaven", Hong Xintao, who wrote "The Magic Brush of Ma Liang" and others... Xia Tian is the youngest among the winners.

I feel a little guilty in the summer!
Others were very happy because he was only 16 years old!
Some say that the young phoenix has a clearer voice than the old one, some say that the newcomer is better than the old one, and some say that there will be successors...

Maybe it’s because they are all creators of children’s literature and art, so they are all very friendly.

Xia Tian's songs "Gudong is Coming", "Little Pony Crossing the River" and "What I Want is a Gourd" won the third prize in the National Children's Literature and Art Creation Awards, and the song "Where is Spring" won the second prize.

After the meeting, the award-winning representatives came to the Yanjing Jingshan Children's Palace to celebrate the evening with the children of the capital - Children's Day was coming soon.

Xia Tian also sang "Where is Spring" - this was suggested by Aunt Deng...

Then the next day, Teacher Jinghongke was on the newspaper~
The news was quite restrained, only saying that the youngest winner was only 16 years old, which explained something about my country's children's literary and artistic creation field... It didn't mention Xia Tian's real name.

……

"Ouch!" Milan cried out in pain and almost fell to the ground. He squatted down, covering his ankle.

Xia Tian turned around quickly, "What's wrong?"

"My ankle is sprained!"

"Are you stupid? Can't you come around from that side?"

Just now, Xia Tian climbed over the wall, and I didn’t expect that this girl would follow suit. Isn’t there anything else you can learn? !

Milan's eyes were filled with tears, and it seemed that she was really in pain: "I just want to keep up with you."

Xia Tian looked at her without saying anything. He squatted down, let her lie on his back, and carried her upstairs to her room.

Milan lay on Xiatian's back and gently smelled the fragrance.

She was a little anxious...

The main reason is that ever since Xia Tian started studying those weird books, he began to feel a sense of "alienation", not from a certain person, but from this world!
According to later accounts, she began to have a "fairy-like aura"!

This scared Milan a bit, and he was a little anxious this time, and ended up spraining his ankle.

Milan thought to himself: But it may not be a bad thing!
