1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 147 Summer Effect?

This meeting was very good.

Ma Dudu is a rare type of person who is very shrewd even at a young age.

As is the way of old Yanjing, words will never fall on the ground.

Shi Tiesheng is a man who has experienced great hardships and sorrows and has a clear understanding of life. He is also a very good writer and it is very comfortable to chat with him.

Even though he started crying as soon as we met, he is definitely not the kind of person who is sad or self-pitying.

With the nourishment of maternal love, he has stepped out of the quagmire and is facing life bravely.

Not being able to stand up or walk is just another different life. There is nothing to be sad about.

As for Xia Tian, ​​it goes without saying that if he really wants to make friends, even stones can bloom...

The meeting was very pleasant and Xia Tian felt that they had met too late.

The three of them chatted for a long time and had lunch at a roadside stall. Finally, Xia Tian and the other man sent Tie Sheng home and chatted for a long time before leaving.

The three of them talked about current affairs, interesting things around them, literature, creative thoughts, poetry, novels, literary styles, etc.

After returning, even Milan noticed it and asked Xia Tian: "Hey, why are you so happy today?"

"Did you see that?" Xia Tian asked.

He asked himself, he was not too emotional.
It's not that I'm cunning or hiding anything, it's just that I simply don't have such strong emotions of joy or sorrow, and I can accept everything more easily.

But Milan can see the emotional changes from the not-so-dramatic performances in the summer, which can be regarded as a thorough study~
……

The next day, Fang Xiaoyan came to Xia Tian’s secret base for an interview.

Before, what Xia wrote were either children's literature, popular literature, or martial arts novels. Not to say that they were not worthy of being published in high-end publications, but the official media rarely reported on them. At most, they would just mention them casually when reporting other information.

But in the first month of this year, the works "Chi Ling" and "Da Ming Jie" published in October by Xia Tian can be regarded as pure literature. And they are very pure and novel.

The effect has already been seen.

As a result, the Yenching Youth Daily immediately sent out the reporter Fang, who was the "trump card to target Mr. Jinghongke".

Editor-in-Chief: "Xiao Fang, you must interview Mr. Jing Hong Ke before the Daily News and the Evening News do! The people of Yanjing haven't seen any news about him for more than a month! They are eagerly waiting for spring melons!"

Xia Tian: Okay~ I’ve become the traffic password!
This was the first time Fang Xiaoyan came to this tube-shaped building. She didn’t know that Xia Tian had a residence here before.

As soon as she entered the corridor, Fang Xiaoyan smelled a familiar scent of cabbage.

This northern city seems to be filled with the smell of cabbage as soon as winter comes.

And when summer is brought in, it’s a whole new world!
She began to look at him professionally...

The first thing that catches your eye is a large number of books!
On the north and east walls on the right side of the entrance are two rows of combined bookshelves. There are bookshelves on top of the cabinets below, and they are about to reach the ceiling!

It is almost filled with various books, magazines and publications.

The small living room is only about 80 or 90 square meters, and both walls are filled with books, there must be at least several hundred books!

Thin, thick, big, small, hard cover, thread-bound... there is really everything available and it is dazzling.

Just take a quick glance and you'll find everything from modern publications to foreign works to handwritten ancient books!
Fang Xiaoyan suddenly felt daunted... like the feeling of a poor student seeing the notebook of a genius.
So many books, how many do you read in a day? Who is this person? !

In the corner not far from the bookshelf, there is an easel with an oil painting on it...

When Fang Xiaoyan saw "Transformation into a Dragon", she was stunned for a long time. She felt very shocked and felt it had a profound meaning!

Look again, there is a pile of oil paintings leaning against the wall!
"You can also paint oil paintings?!" She was a little surprised. Not only could he paint, but he could paint so well!
Even if she didn't understand painting, she knew that something that shocked her must be of a very high standard. But she had never heard of it before!

"Ah! I learned it when I was in the Children's Palace. I drew it casually when I had nothing to do... Please sit down." Xia Tian moved the chair to her and sat on a small stool next to the desk.

This small stool is made of Huanghuali wood, from the mid-Qing Dynasty.
When the boss returns the house to me, I will buy a big courtyard house and fill it with antique furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties!

It’s not like now, there’s really no place.

Human power is limited, don't always try to go against the trend.

Personal efforts must also take into account the historical process, right?
Soon, Fang Xiaoyan began the formal interview, still using the familiar interview notebook.

She held a fountain pen in her hand and asked in a very competent and cool voice, "I saw a lot of books here, a lot. Do you like reading?"

"Of course." Xia Tian nodded. What else could he read if not a book? He didn't have a cell phone either.

Fang Xiaoyan pointed to a corner of the bookshelf and asked, "Even medical books?"

It was a set of "Thousands of Wonderful Prescriptions", which collected more than 1,100 prescriptions ranging from internal medicine to pediatrics, from common diseases to difficult and complicated diseases. It was published last year.

"Oh, I bought this set of Thousands of Prescriptions last year. I just happened to buy it," he said.

"Have you seen it?" Fang Xiaoyan stared at Xia Tian.

"Seen……"

"Have you finished reading?"

"I've finished reading..."

Fang Xiaoyan: And you still say you don’t understand Chinese medicine!
Xia Tian: Just some medical knowledge~
"You can also paint? I see... well, besides oil painting, you also have gouache and sketching?"

"They are not very proficient, they are just to cultivate sentiments."

The pile of paintings included the ink painting "Temple of Snow Mountain", the sketch "Girl" (Milan), the oil painting "Fish" (a masterpiece of a certain American fishing trip), "Devil Boy Comes to the World", "Happy Funeral", "Steel and Fire", "Transformation into a Dragon"...

Fang Xiaoyan glanced at Xia Tian and didn't ask any more questions. She didn't understand why this man was always so secretive. What are you afraid of at this prime age?
Now after experiencing the decathlon at the Yenching Games, I have understood a lot more.

Being flamboyant is a lifestyle, but being low-key is safer.

Even what he has revealed in recent years has made people talk about it.

If someone is really too outstanding and abnormal... everyone subconsciously dislikes those who are different.

Soon Fang Xiaoyan got to the point, which was literature.

“Now there are some critical voices saying that you are blindly catering to the masses and writing some popular literature, which is very bad. For example, the "Shaolin Eighth Bronze Man" has been completed, and the "Kunlun" and "Legendary King" that are currently being serialized... I personally like these three works very much!” She smiled.

"Thank you!"

"Of course martial arts novels are not serious literature, they are very popular, they are right. But I am just a common person!"

"If there are serious works, there will naturally be popular ones. There will always be people writing about them, because people need entertainment. As for the idea of ​​catering to the masses, I don't have that idea... Anyway, there will always be people who read what I write, so there is no need to deliberately cater to anyone."

This is a rather high-profile statement, but it is also true.

Now in the field of popular literature, Xia Tian is not the only one who dominates, but he is also the tail that cannot be shaken off.
Is there anyone writing popular literature? Yes! There are many!
But are there any particularly surprising results?

No!

At that time, first of all, people's concepts have not changed. People who can write serious literature will not write popular literature.

However, some people with poor writing skills and ideas do not write very exciting things.

Especially for a long novel like "Kunlun", it requires a long time to learn and practice.

Many things also require more people to conduct research and explore the way!
It doesn't feel like summer at all, just get going!
Moreover, from "The Eighth Bronze Man of Shaolin" to "The King of Legend", and then to "Kunlun", which has just been serialized for more than 100,000 words, his writing style and method have become very mature.

This is also the reason why many people in the circle criticized him: You have this talent and ability, but you actually wrote this thing, you are wasting God's gift!

Xia Tian: My own talent, I enjoy it!
Of course, at this time, you can't be too independent in this matter. If you are really criticized and suppressed by the circle, you will probably have to hide in the United States for two years.

not the right time yet……

After talking about literature, Fang Xiaoyan started talking about songs. Recently, someone sang "Hongyan" at a party, especially a grassland singer, who liked it very much.

The song became a bit popular too.

Adding the two songs "Flowers Bloomed in the North Sea" and "Yearning Across Time and Space", it can be barely said that he is a musician, right?
There are also many children's songs!

Fang Xiaoyan asked Xia Tian about his idea of ​​composing children's songs.

"I don't have any specific ideas. I was just inspired by something and then I wrote it. I'm glad the kids like it..."

The two also talked about the publication of comic books. The second part of "Black Cat Sheriff" sold very well, several times more popular than the first part.

It’s not anything else, but now that people’s lives are better, the demand in this area is greater.

Again, the course of history...

Then Fang Xiaoyan asked, "I also saw another comic strip you are serializing, called "Blue Cat's Three Thousand Questions", right?"

"Yes. The editor of the Youth Science Pictorial hopes that I can draw a children's science comic book to teach and entertain. So I thought of this story. The protagonist is the same, but each one is an independent short story, which is convenient for popularizing science..."

"Is that really the case? There are three thousand questions, right?"

“Haha, that’s not necessarily true…”

Xia Tian didn't say there were 100,000 questions~
I can write an episode about some animals I have seen before or just some popular science content for ten or eight years.

What rainforest chapter, what insect chapter, what Teacher Xiaoliang chapter, what deep sea chapter, what Antarctic chapter, what universe chapter...it's all about water!

Xia Tian: I can just follow the story of "100,000 Whys"~
It allows children to watch it from childhood to adulthood!
Finally, Fang Xiaoyan also asked about Xia Tian’s studies, after all, the college entrance examination was still half a year away.

Xia Tian: “Studying is relatively easy.”

……

Fang Xiaoyan mentioned Xia Tian’s studies in the interview, which made many people suddenly realize that this person who has created countless works is still a young man.

Suddenly I had a very absurd feeling: This is not right! I have been listening to Xia Tian’s news for many years, and I have been following Jing Hong Ke’s works for many years. Why do I have to take the college entrance examination now? !
People's memory is sometimes biased.
When something is too difficult to accept, people will start to imagine it.

For example, "I watched "Gudong is Coming" ten years ago!"

Another example is "I learned Counting Ducks by Xia Tian several years ago. I sang it every day in elementary school!"

It's going to cause the Mandela effect on these people!

Speaking of academics, the "Dongcheng Secret Scroll" produced by Miao Wanqiu and a group of high school teachers has become a hit!

In the past few months, it has spread from several high schools in East City to all high schools in the city.

Many students who are about to take the college entrance examination use this book as review material.

Because the print run was limited, many students started copying by hand!
Xia Tian had no choice but to contact the publisher, who was also a little confused: 5,000 copies sold out in just two months? !
Xia Tian explained: No, it was sold out in one month. The students were so eager to get a copy the next month that several of them copied it. But the teachers were too timid to print more copies.

In the summer, we urgently printed another 20,000 copies...

Now all industries and sectors are engaged in generating revenue, which is different from the initial "planned era".

Many publishing houses are responsible for their own profits and losses, so naturally the more they print, the better.
