1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 186 Be serious, I’m just talking about a play!
Although in the original novel Jia Rui acted like a pervert towards Feng Ji, he was finally teased and fell seriously ill, and finally died after fantasizing about the Mirror of Love and Lust.

But you, you... you look like a scoundrel, your eyes are about to turn a corner and drill into someone's collar! That's too much!
"Greetings to my sister-in-law~"乛v乛!

No wonder Fengjie wanted to kill Jia Rui!
This really helps to get into the role~
Sometimes, he had to teach Deng Jie some of the performances of Wang Xifeng, from posture to facial expressions to eyes, demonstrating each one based on his own understanding.

The beauty of spring is hidden in her fair face, and her smile can be heard before her red lips open.
"This beast deserves to die!"

This is what Feng Ji said to Ping Er when she was planning to arrange for Jia Rui.

He is obviously a big man over 1.80 meters tall, but his temperament and expression are just like that angry and vicious Feng Jie!
It even makes people forget his height and his outfit!
There is no other way. After all, I have been learning the female role since I was a child. Although I don’t have many opportunities to practice, my learning ability is too strong!

The crowd watching the strange scene were surprised, and then burst into laughter: "I think you should play Sister Feng!"

Xia Tian pinched her fingers and said, "Be serious, I'm talking about a play!"

Seeing this, Xiao Xu couldn't help but speak up again: "This play is really hardworking~ I'll let you tease her as much as you want!"

Xia Tian waved his hand: "Hey, don't talk nonsense... How can there be enough of this kind of thing?"

The crowd roared with laughter.

……

There were not many people in the training class who could help play Jia Baoyu. Xia Tian was never there, and when he came he mostly chatted and laughed with those few people.

This caused the other students in Daiyu's group and Baochai's group to complain.

But there is nothing we can do about it, there is always a degree of closeness between people, right?
When Xia Tian is not around, Dongfang Wenying is usually the one who plays Jia Baoyu opposite Xiao Xu and Zhang Li.

That’s right, Dongfang has quite a tomboyish temperament, and she was determined to play the role of Jia Baoyu, so she enjoyed the performance very much.

However, although she always encouraged Director Wang to let her play the role of a female lead, Director Wang remained unmoved.

He was determined to find a male actor to play Baoyu.

Xia Tian played Baoyu with Xiao Xu and Zhang Li, and Jia Lian, Jia Rui and Jia Qiang with Deng Jie.

That guy is so busy!
Zhang Li couldn't help but praise: "You are really amazing! You are worthy of being a graduate of Yandian University. Unlike me who studied dance, you are very good at acting!"

Zhang Li is a slow learner, and she is not as clever as Xiao Xu in this respect. But she is persistent and is the type who is making progress every day.

Xia Tian encouraged her: "You acted very well! It's mainly because of the character itself. I really support you in playing Baochai! You mainly realized Baochai's introverted and restrained state of mind..."

"Thank you." Zhang Li thought for a moment.

Xiao Xu was cricketing Xia Tian again: "Wow, you are really amazing~ You are worthy of being a graduate of Yandian University~ (imitating Zhang Li's tone and expression), won't you go crazy switching back and forth like this?"

"That's easy~ I can't even switch a few more times! I'm just that strong!" Xia Tian looked very proud of me.

Zhang Li blushed and pounced on Xiao Xu, who was tickling her!

……

In the afternoon, Xia Tian went to the dormitory to look for Mimi, "Mimi? She's home."

Mimi lay on Zhang Li's pillow: I am so happy here, I don't miss my hometown~
Zhang Li was reading an English textbook on one side, and Xiao Xu on the bed opposite was writing a diary. When he saw that summer was coming, he covered the diary.

"Sit down." Zhang Li asked Xia Tian to sit on the small stool - he came just in time to help me practice speaking English.

Xia Tian accompanied her and asked "Why is it you?" and "Why is it still you?" for a while.

Zhang Li suddenly remembered something: "By the way, do you eat Pinellia?"

Xiao Xu smiled: "What kind of pot is a pot?"

Zhang Li rolled her eyes at her, leaned down from the bed, and pulled out a small cardboard box from under the bed, which contained apples.

Xia Tian looked at it and said, "Oh, you better hurry up and eat it, some of it is about to rot."

Xia Tian picked up two.

Zhang Li answered slowly and leisurely: "Too much. I don't want to eat it. It has to rot." She looked wealthy and calm.

Xia Tian: ??? This is something only a rich woman would say!
Xiatian took out the pocket knife he carried with him and started peeling the apples.

"Well, half for each of you." Xia Tian handed the two halves of the peeled apple to them.

"What about you?" Xiao Xu asked.

"I'm fine with anything." Xia Tian grabbed an apple, rubbed it, and started to bite it.

You two can have half each, and of course I will eat two halves!
……

Two days later, Milan asked Xia Tian to invite Xiao Xu, Zhang Li and others to see a movie.

Xia Tian took advantage of Sunday to call Xiao Xu, Zhang Li, Deng Jie and Guo Xiaozhen, and he had Milan and Dachun on his side, a total of seven people.

The movie that Milan proposed this time is called "Red Skirts Are Popular on the Street". It tells the story of female textile workers in Shanghai who compete to wear beautiful red skirts, break through the shackles of old ideas, and boldly pursue the beauty of life.

This movie contributed several new fashion words to people, such as "zhanyi", "zhanqiong", and "zhan deluhualiushui". "zhan" at that time meant to show off or flaunt, which probably means: to compare other people's clothes and skirts.

Let’s compete for beauty!
There is a word called "zhannan" in the future, but I don't know how to understand it.

As soon as the film was released, red skirts became popular all over the country.

The "supermarket" hosted by a group of friends in the summer quickly followed suit. The goods were on the shelves three days after the movie was released!

Now it is no longer a simple stall setting - a shed has been built, divided into grids, stalls and single rooms, it has become like a big market.

In just over a week, the streets were filled with colorful skirts flying, smiles and laughter, and a touch of red amazed the entire era.

In recent years, the colors of everyone's clothes seem to have suddenly become brighter, more colorful and gorgeous.

It is even said that in Shanghai, which is at the forefront of fashion, some lesbians have shortened their skirts to above the knees!
After all, Yanjing is still a little more conservative...

I just don’t know what Milan wanted to do by asking Xia Tian to invite several girls from the crew to watch this movie?
Although she seems very naive in front of Xia Tian, ​​she is actually not naive at all. Who knows how many strategies are in that little head of hers!

What is even more terrifying is that he has a righteous idea, a strong will, and a terrifying ability to take action, which should not be underestimated.

When watching a movie, Xia Tian was next to Deng Jie, then Zhang Li, then Milan, then Xiao Xu, then Guo Xiao Zhen, then Da Chun~
Isn’t Dachun usually quite talkative?

Why is it that my mouth is like it’s not my own now, and I stutter when I speak? !
What a disappointment!

Xia Tian hated that he didn’t fight for it - he had fought for such a good opportunity for you in vain!
During this period, Xia Tian got to know Guo Xiaozhen. She was from Anhui Province and her family conditions were not very good. She had been learning Huangmei Opera since she was a child. She was cheerful and lively, very innocent, and a good girl.

Xiatian feels that Dachun has to work hard!
On the other side, Xia Tian chatted with Deng Jie, mostly about Dream of the Red Chamber or Sister Feng. The second recording was about to begin, and she was still a little stressed.

However, with Xia Tian's cooperation and grooming during this period, she has gained considerable confidence in her Feng Jie!

Even if Le Yun doesn't leave, I will fight with her!
On the other side, Milan was talking happily with Xiaoxu and Zhangli. As mentioned before, she had a good grasp of women's psychology and had a special ability to "read people".

There were two people on her left and two on her right, and she treated everyone well. Even Deng Jie and Guo Xiaozhen took good care of her, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze and felt that they had met each other too late.

Not to mention Xiaoxu and Zhang Li on the left and right.

Xiao Xu is clever and perceptive, while Zhang Li is steady and slow to warm up, and both of them are smoothed out in most of the film's running time.

It didn't feel like we were meeting for the second time, but rather like we had known each other for several years!
That sense of familiarity and comfort...

Xia Tian was watching from the side: What did these women want to do? They put so much effort into it?!

Milan is a proud person in her bones. After knowing each other for so many years, it seems that she has only put a lot of effort into Xia Tian. Apart from that, she has only been attentive to her childhood best friend Yu Beibei.

It is very common for other people, such as Qiao Qiao, Li Bailing and other girls I know.

How can one make friends so deliberately?

On the way back, Deng Jie and the other three were still discussing, saying that Milan was a really nice girl and they should keep in touch with her more often in the future.

Guo Xiaozhen: "She also said she knows someone who sells red skirts, and will take us there next week to buy them, they can be much cheaper!"

Guo Xiaozhen was very excited, she really liked the skirts in the movie.

Deng Jie smiled and said, "Then let Xia Tian bring Milan and Dachun to the crew more often~"

Guo Xiaozhen turned her head away a little embarrassedly, not daring to speak—she could naturally sense Dachun's restraint...

But Xiaoxu and Zhang Li looked at each other.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Dongfang Wenying and Hu Zehong were not there, and the two of them chatted in low voices.

"What do you think is the relationship between Milan and Xia Tian?" Xiao Xu asked.

Zhang Li said slowly: "She often watches Xia Tian..."

When Milan was observing them, they were also observing Milan.

Xiao Xu didn't take it seriously: "There are many people in the crew who often watch Xia Tian. Zhang Jinglin, Yuan Mei, Zhou Yue..."

She started counting, and there must be at least six or seven!

It's normal.

Think about the big stars who appear on the Spring Festival Gala. They are young, handsome, tall, have a warm smile, and are particularly capable, talented, and humorous.

He has a high status and a lot of say in the crew, and can often help the actors solve problems.

And always bring some food and things to help everyone improve their lives...

They are all young girls, who doesn’t like young men like this?
The next day, Xiaoxu received a letter from Brother Bi in Shanghai, who asked Xiaoxu to write more letters.

She was suddenly shocked - she hadn't written to Brother Bi for two weeks...she hadn't even thought about it.

Is it because the crew is under too much pressure in casting?

Zhang Li also received a call from home. Her family was well-off and belonged to a cadre family.

But her family didn't want her to act in the Dream of the Red Chamber, and instead arranged for her to take a literary and artistic career.

But Zhang Li wants to play Baochai, she really wants to play it!

……

At this time, Xia Tian also received a letter.

A letter from Liang Jiahui in Hong Kong: The island is really targeting him!
Liang Jiahui complained in the letter: He asked me to write a letter of apology and publicly apologize, and also promised not to film in mainland China in the future! I am his mother, and I am stealing his property!

Not only him, but Li Heizi was also sanctioned and was not allowed to go to the island!

However, Li Heizi was one of the few great directors in the Chinese film industry at that time, and he could make a living in Hong Kong.
No matter how much Uncle Shao hated him, he could get over it if he apologized and showed some weakness.

But Ah Hui definitely can't do that.

After that, his films were not allowed to be shown on the island, and basically no one in Hong Kong asked him to make a movie.

Ah Hui tried hard but had no other options, so he decided to set up a stall to sell handmade products.

For a long time, Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television resources have been shared and interconnected.

For example, Brigitte Lin and Adam Cheng are two obvious examples - they are popular in both places.

The island has long been introducing a large number of Hong Kong stars and directors to enhance local production capabilities, and Hong Kong regards the island as the most important film and television market. So as soon as Ah Hui was banned on the island, he could no longer get any roles in Hong Kong and had to set up stalls.

Xia Tian replied:

Without wind and waves, there would be no brave surfers.

Without thorns, there would be no unyielding pioneers.

Believe in yourself, you can cocoon yourself, but you can also emerge as a butterfly.

Then he mentioned what he said before again...

The two of them called each other and chatted several times, and then Ah Hui started contacting Xia Tian’s friends in Pengcheng.

At this moment, at the forefront of the reform and opening up, the number of Xia’s friends has reached more than sixty!

Ah Hui can contact the source of goods in Hong Kong and then ship the goods here. Someone here will pick up the goods and then distribute them to other big cities. The division of labor is clear!
From clothing, sports shoes, magic mirrors to small appliances, daily necessities and imported goods...it's so diverse.

Most things are in short supply here, and we need them all!
Of course, the channel goes through the formal channel - through excellent relationships, and there are people on the other end.

Although the profit of "water route" is much greater, Xia Tian repeatedly emphasized that we will not do that.

I won't stop you from breaking the law, but we will no longer be brothers.

There is just one problem. Xia Tian remembered that he met Ah Hui’s wife in the original time and space when he was setting up a stall!

When he was in the most difficult time, his wife fell in love with him, endured hardships with him, and finally got out of the predicament and lived a loving life together.

The stall is not open now, will we miss it?

I have to find an opportunity to remind him. I hope we can meet again no matter how far apart we are!
