1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 163 Two People Practicing Kung Fu~
Sit cross-legged on a cushion, with your five hearts facing the sky, doing the posture of a boy worshipping the king of heaven... Summer starts with a slow start of luck~
Ever since communicating with Comrade Lin, the actor who played Erlang Shen, he has gained a deeper understanding of this method of circulating qi and energy.

Although the Natural Gate’s own “internal skills” cannot be passed on to outsiders, many experiences and similar attempts can be exchanged.

Benefited a lot~
After practicing these few days in summer, I feel like the energy and blood are rushing and roaring throughout my body... This is a different physical sensation from the spiritual tranquility of static exercises!
Now I am practicing in a secret base in the summer. On the wall behind me are posters of Teresa Teng and the movie "Indiana Jones", and on the opposite wall is a map of human meridian points... Why does it feel so weird?

And because he had been studying internal Qi and blood recently, Xia Tian also dug out many medical skills left by Jiang Wei and the doctor and studied them one by one, and placed them next to several oil paintings.

This is a combination of Chinese and Western styles, both inside and outside, and tradition and fashion.
Milan came in the evening with a smile on her face and brought dinner for Xia Tian.

"I'll bring you food~"

Xia Tian: I won't hesitate to expose you~
Sure enough, while Xia Tian was eating, she was flipping through the book "Jade Intercourse Sutra" that Xia Tian brought back from the United States...

"Don't you hate me reading these metaphysical books?" Xia Tian teased with a smile.

Milan rolled her eyes at him, her face slightly red: "This is different, isn't this practiced by two people~"

Ever since Milan discovered the art of sex, his view on this metaphysics has suddenly changed!
Especially after reading many books in the summer, he asserted that Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was a Taoist master!

Milan: "There are a lot of nonsense theories in the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as the essence stops at the tailbone and the spine, and it is to replenish the brain. It's all nonsense!"

"Ge Hong said: If yin and yang are not in harmony, you will suffer from Yongyan disease, many diseases and no control over them. If you indulge in your emotions, you will lose your life! It is similar to what we say now, that is, it is better to be moderate, but you cannot give up."

“I can’t quit” is what you want to say!

I had never seen her so studious before summer.

Humph, don’t think that only men are “willful and willful, which will shorten their lives”, the same goes for women!
You have only three minutes of fighting power, but you are still greedy. You eat as much as others eat in a week in one night...

The first thing I do every morning when I wake up is to wash last night's sheets...

You're on your own!

However, Milan soon found a solution - well, because of a small coincidence~
Xia Tian: Great! You have been researching for such a long time, and you have achieved results?!
Are you trying to make up for me here?!

The dialect can be saved from stealing the social meaning balloon!

"No more! No more!"

"What do you mean I can't do it? I haven't finished the pose yet. Don't we have to practice together? Even if I die today, you have to finish this pose for me~"

……

The September issue of "Legends of Ancient and Modern Times" magazine is a big hit!
It was a huge hit last year because of the long novel "Kunlun" which was serialized in the summer. It has not been completed yet.

Milan would carefully review the manuscripts he had saved in the summer every week, and if there were not enough manuscripts in any of them, he would urge him to write more.

Now Xia Tian already regrets drawing "Blue Cat's Three Thousand Questions". He has just finished the beginning of "Panda Jingjing" and "Three Thousand Questions" is still catching up.

Fortunately, the "Legendary King" in the newspaper has been completed, otherwise I would have been driven to death!
And now "Legends of the Past and Present" has become a big hit again because the martial arts novel serialized in the past two months has begun to gain momentum, it is called "Yu Jiaolong"!
Previously, because of the serialization of "Kunlun", their sales volume increased from more than 100,000 copies per month to more than 600,000 copies!

And this month the sales exceeded 900,000 copies!
The two popular martial arts novel series have directly pushed "Legends of the Past and Present" close to the level of monthly sales of one million!

The editor-in-chief of "Legends of the Past and Present" was so excited that he couldn't help feeling excited - Teacher Jinghongke said that after the serialization of "Kunlun" was completed, he would not write martial arts novels in the short term.

Now that I see a work that can take over, I am naturally very happy.

I've seen it in the summer, and this "Yu Jiaolong" is pretty much what I imagined - "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!
This novel is actually adapted from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Iron Cavalry and Silver Bottle" by Wang Dulu, a novelist from the late Qing Dynasty. It is a second creation by the same person!

Wang Dulu, together with Huanzhu Louzhu of the "fantasy fairy tale school", Gong Baiyu of the "social irony school", Zheng Zhengyin of the "gang martial arts school", and Zhu Zhenmu of the "strange romance and reasoning school" are collectively known as the "Five Masters of the Northern School".

At that time, Wang Dulu had a "Five-part Crane and Iron Trilogy", which were "The Crane Shocks Kunlun", "The Precious Sword and the Golden Hairpin", "The Sword Qi and the Pearl Light", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Iron Cavalry and the Silver Vase".

These five novels were very famous during the Republic of China period, but now, because the previous martial arts novels were banned in the early days, many people don’t even know the existence of novels such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Later, Ang Lee's film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was adapted from Wang Dulu's original work.

Many people thought it was an adaptation of Nie Yunlan’s “Yu Jiaolong”!

Nie's son later came forward to say: His father liked the stories written by Wang Dulu very much, but "I always thought that Wang Dulu was a person from the Qing Dynasty, but I didn't expect that Mr. Wang Dulu was also a modern person", so he didn't think about the copyright issue.

Xia Tian didn’t care about so many things...it didn’t have much to do with him.

But there is another thing going on.

At Zhu Youguang's house, Xia Tian was surprised and bewildered: "They bought it all?!"

"Hmm!" Zhu Youguang hummed dejectedly.

"I...Cao!"

The reason why Xia Tian couldn't help but swear in front of his elders was a businessman from Hong Kong.

A businessman named Xu from Hong Kong spent only over 20 Hong Kong dollars to buy all the paintings in the Foreign Guest Service Department - more than 9000 paintings and calligraphy, including works by Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Li Keran, Wu Zuoren, Jiang Zhaohe and others.

Xia Tian: Oh my god, you bought them all? I only bought a dozen or twenty pieces that I liked, you are buying wholesale, right? You beast!
How can there be such a thing? !

This is pure business behavior!
Is that two or three hundred thousand yuan short in the summer?
Not bad, he also knew that these words would easily be worth tens, hundreds, or even millions of yuan in the future, but he never thought of buying them all and waiting for them to appreciate in value - that would be too shameless!

Summer is a time for scholars and writers to have fun, but who would have thought that some people would be so mean!
Well! On this day, countless people in the Yanjing collecting community cursed.

And after this incident, others soon followed suit, buying anything that might appreciate in value in the future! What to do if you don’t have money? If you don’t have money, just cheat!
Although there were some before, it is even more ruthless now. And they are justified in doing so - everything is about money!

There is no way to avoid this. Bad money drives out good money, and this is an inevitable phenomenon in any field.

Hey~
……

Xia Tian has no time to care about the collection circle because he has to go to school~
On the first day of school, Xiatian went to Zhuxinzhuang, which was outside the Fifth Ring Road in the future. It was 21 kilometers away from Xiatian’s home, and it took Xiatian half an hour to ride a bicycle there.

Not only him, but other teachers have to take the bus from their homes in the city to come to school for classes, and the round trip usually takes three or four hours.

The Central Academy of Drama is different. The school is not far from Xia Tian’s home, probably less than ten minutes’ walk.

Otherwise, why would Chang Li come to snatch people?
When reporting for school, Xia Tian first met Wang Shuyan in the office.

He also vaguely mentioned the earlier agreement that he could attend the director's training class.

Wang Shuyan: "Hey, is being an actor unfair to you? Listen to my advice, you will be struck by lightning if you don't become an actor!"

"Of course! Of course! Then the director training class..." Xia Tian was determined not to let go.

Teacher Wang pursed her lips and said, "If you pass the exam, you can go!"

After Xia Tian left, other teachers in the office discussed him.

"Hey! This is summer! The boy is so good-looking! No wonder you gave him full marks for appearance!"

"Hmph~That's it!" Wang Shuyan looked proud.

Xia Tian is the second student from Yandian University who got full marks for image in the art exam.

The previous one was Zhou Liqing, who was from the first batch after the resumption of the college entrance examination. Although he was over the age limit, he was still admitted.

Standing under the corridor in the summer, looking at this simple loess school planted with many pine trees - Yandian at this time is really hard to describe.

Don't say it's high-end, it's simply tacky.

The students' attire is not as dazzling as outsiders think, but rather very simple.

Although it doesn’t look good, it’s real!

Since the college entrance examination was resumed in 78, Yandian University has achieved fruitful results.

That class produced a lot of directors, such as Brother Kai, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Huo Jianqi, Li Shaohong, and Hu Mei.

There are also Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei, who turned from photography majors to directors.

One person who must be mentioned among them is Lao Mouzi!

His C score is not good, his father was a jerk...

In 78, he worked as a general worker at Xianyang No. 5 Cotton Mill, which was already over the age limit for applying to Yandian University - a full years older.

Later, under the guidance of a good friend, Zhang Yimou, who had outstanding photography skills, used the toilet as a darkroom and made his own photography collection (it was said that he bought the camera by selling blood), which he sent to the famous cartoonist, who then "matched" it to...

The person who loves talents replied that the photography works of this unknown worker were "very high-quality and should be cultivated more vigorously."

It is hoped that Yandian University would have solved the admission problem for this special student by offering him the title of a trainee or other appropriate student.

This request was rejected by Yandian at that time. It was only after repeated requests from Director B that the college finally "let go" and accepted this oldest student.

Later, according to Lao Mouzi's recollection, he "entered Yandian without any review, examination or physical examination."

"If we really want to do it, I'm not afraid of the physical examination. I can't even pass the Z-examination or the exam."

You have to say, this is truly legendary!

That year, the college entrance examination was resumed, and more than 6000 candidates from all over the country applied for Yandian.

In the end, Yandian University's five departments, namely, Performance, Directing, Photography, Fine Arts, and Recording, admitted a total of 159 people, with an application-to-admission ratio of nearly 40:1. It can be said that the best of the best were selected, and thousands of people were competing for a single place.

Today's directors generally come from directing departments, literature departments, photography departments, and fine arts departments.

In the next twenty years, some actors also became directors; and after that, people who wrote novels and played racing cars also started to become directors.

In addition to the director, many actors from that class also became very successful later on.

For example, Zhang Tielin, the great British emperor, Zhang Fengyi, the camel Xiangzi, Zhou Lijing, who has a perfect image, and Xie Yuan, who Xia Tian met on the set of "Behind the Curtain"...

Oh, and there’s also Wang Yue, the first candidate Director Yang found for the role of Tang Monk…

This year, Zhang Tielin and actress Gong Xue co-starred in the movie "Under the Bridge", which is a very good movie.

However, they enrolled this summer and graduated last month, a full four years apart!
I have no chance to see you~
These people are very interesting to talk about. I will talk to them in detail when I meet them next time!

Ps：

In the original time and space, Beijing Film Academy didn't seem to recruit students for the acting department in 83, so there was a parallel time and space. There was no recruitment in 82, but it became recruitment in 83~
