1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 195 Benefactor!

Xia Tian packed his simple luggage and was about to leave, but he didn't expect that before he left, Milan caught up with him at the station and handed him two letters!

"Look, Xiaoxu and Zhangli wrote to me. They just arrived this morning. I didn't expect that they have such a good understanding of each other~" She had a foxy smile on her face, and the more she smiled, the more she looked like her best friend Yu Beibei.

Xia Tian hurriedly boarded the train with two letters. It was a hard sleeper with a narrow bed.

After simply putting away the luggage, Xiatian opened the envelope.

Zhang Li wrote in her letter some trivial things about returning home, and also wrote that she showed Xia Tian's calligraphy to her father, who admired it very much.

The letter is two pages long, with more than a thousand words. It is plain and simple, but the handwriting is very beautiful.

Xiaoxu wrote more in her letter, especially about her selection as Lin Daiyu and the exaggerated performance of her family, relatives and friends.

The letter expressed some annoyance and a little pride - she never pretended in this regard.

Xiao Xu: I got the role by my own ability, why can't I be proud of it? What do I have to pretend?
What Xia Tian didn't know was that just after Xiao Xu put the letter into the mailbox and Meizhizhi went home, her sister Chen Xiaoyang also took out a letter.

"Sister, it was Brother Bi who sent the letter to the drama troupe..."

Xiaoxu took the letter from his sister with a little surprise - it seemed like he hadn't written to Brother Bi for a long time?
No, I haven't thought about him for a long time...

The figure and smile in my mind seemed to be no longer him. I was a little panicked!

In addition to Xiaoxu and Zhang Li writing letters to Xia Tian, ​​Deng Jie actually wrote to Xia Tian and Milan as well. However, the mail was a little slow, and Milan received it after Xia Tian had already left.

In addition, Dachun also received a letter from Guo Xiaozhen.

Dachun was so excited at that time that he climbed up and down the wall twice!

"Tian'er, Tian'er! There's a letter! There's a letter! Oh, by the way, Tian'er is out!"

He climbed back into their yard, jumping as excitedly as a monkey.

Chun's mother happened to come back. "What are you doing? Playing with monkeys?!"

"No! I didn't do anything." Dachun put the letter in his pocket and walked into the house.

How smart is Chun Ma?

According to her, the half of herself that is smart and clever and the other half that appears foolish while being great in wisdom are inherited from her!
So she could tell at a glance that something was fishy and just watched quietly.

However, at this time, Dachun's wise cells had already taken over, and he suppressed it for a long time. It was not until he finished lunch and ran to a nearby park that he opened the letter.

What exactly didn’t let Chun Ma find out…

Well, the mother and daughter are engaging in a battle of wits and courage.

I spent a day and two nights on the train in the summer. During that time, I read the newspaper and learned that the Nobel Prize winner Mr. Ding had returned to China for a visit and was received by the chief engineer.

It was recorded in the newspaper that when the issue of talent cultivation came to discussion, the chief engineer said: The junior class is very effective and it also provides exceptional promotion. Several other universities should also set up junior classes. I wonder if they have done so?
As a result, 12 universities, including those universities, started to set up junior classes.

The admission criteria for the senior class at USTC directly state: age under 15, IQ 130.

All regions began to search for child prodigies on a large scale and send talents to junior classes.

According to statistics, between 82 and 86, one county in Jiangxi Province alone sent 34 students to the junior classes of various universities.

Linchuan County is the hometown of Wang Anshi, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, and has a fine tradition of producing child prodigies.
This also gives parents an illusion that child prodigies can be cultivated in large quantities.

As a result, many people spend a lot of money to enroll their children in "crash training classes for child prodigies".

The advertising style of child prodigy training classes is generally like this:
10-day crash course for child prodigies, quickly memorize Thousand Character Classic, and memorize 7% of it after reading it once.

Can you calculate 10 times 999999999 in 82 seconds? The prodigy can do it!

Countless parents were fooled in this way and paid money!

But don’t be surprised, there are still quantum wave speed reading classes many years later! This thing has never stopped~
This kind of deceptive behavior can be described by a line from Bei Dao's poem: I don't believe dreams are false... The next line is, I don't believe there is no retribution for death.

On August 8th, Xia arrived in Hu Jian.

Li Chengru "took time out of his busy schedule" to pick him up at the station. Before this, the girls he picked up were all beauties from theater and art troupes from all over the place!
Driving a simple old car, Li Chengru has good driving skills and is very steady.

The two drove directly to Jiuqu Creek in Wuyi Mountain, which is the filming location of Yingchoujian.

Li Chengru lit a cigarette while driving, "This car! It was lent to us by the local TV station, for free, but we have to pay for the gas! It's just for picking you up, otherwise this car would only be driven under Director Yang's nose, to load equipment and so on, it's really expensive!"

When we arrived at the crew, it was almost the wilderness.

The crew was stationed in the nearest county town, in a simple guesthouse.

Every day I have to take a car to the scenic spot to film, and come back at night. Meals have to be delivered, which is very tiring.

Xia Tian: I thought the crew of Dream of Red Mansions was pitiful enough, but compared to that, the crew of Journey to the West is even more difficult!
"You kid are finally here!" Director Yang had an attitude of "I'm going to smash the cup as a signal, and you guys take him out and chop him up to be sacrificed to the heavens."

Xia Tian hurried over with small steps, hunched back and running close like the chief steward Li Lianying, "Aunt Yang, I miss you guys so much~"

As he spoke, he took out the gifts and some snacks he had prepared.

Before coming here, Xia Tian talked to Li Chengru on the phone and learned that the food on the crew was very bad and it was just a waste of time.

After all, we were always filming outdoors, so it was difficult to eat. We mostly just had a bite to eat, just to be full. Xia Tian brought some snacks this time, most of which were in the backpack. Li Chengru and I also bought more than ten pounds of meat, a few chickens, some candies, biscuits, and several large watermelons in the city just now...

As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you, and don't be too harsh on others when you eat their food.

Even if Director Yang wanted to express her anger at being disliked, she had no chance.
I watched Xia Tian become familiar with the crew members in just one afternoon. They were chatting and laughing, and wherever he went, he was surrounded by people. It was so infuriating!

Director Yang’s attitude towards summer can probably be described as follows:
You asked your older nephew to play games, but he refused and said he wanted to play with his classmates.

But when you look over, you see that he is playing with four female classmates, laughing and having a great time!
How can you not be angry? You want to tear up his summer homework~
In addition to Director Yang, Teacher Liu also felt very uncomfortable.

Before Xia Tian came, I was the center of the crew besides Director Yang.

Now, Bajie and Sha Seng have all gone to talk to Xia Tian!

Even the usually smiling Li Chengru wears the same pants as in summer!
Even the cameraman Wang Chongqiu treats Xia Tian like nothing else. I guess he wouldn't even be that close to his own nephew!

Teacher Liu: Even the white dragon horse misses him! This is not fair!

I can't do this question~
If we follow the chronological order of Journey to the West, Xiaobailong is still ahead of Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng.

But when filming a TV series, you definitely can’t shoot it in chronological order. You have to shoot it in the order of the scenes. Try to finish shooting all the scenes in one place, then go to the next place. And then edit it. It saves time and money!
So before Xia came to the crew, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng had already finished collecting them!
……

When we came back in the evening, Xia Tian and Li Chengru had prepared everything for the guesthouse. There were many delicious dishes and big pieces of meat on the table. It was a great relief for everyone!

After dinner, Xia Tian talked to director Yang Jie and cameraman Wang Chongqiu about their daughter Yaya.

"Don't worry, Aunt Yang. Yaya is fine now. Everything is fine now!"

Director Yang and Wang Chongqiu were in a "sister-brother relationship". Director Yang had been married before and later remarried. Teacher Wang was much younger than Director Yang, and the social pressure she was under at the time was not small.

Yaya is their only daughter and Director Yang’s youngest daughter.

Just a week ago, Director Yang and his team were filming in another place, and Yaya fell ill.

Even though it's just a common cold, you still have to go see a doctor in the summer.

When I went to the hospital, I found that the doctor had diagnosed me with epilepsy!
Xia Tian was very anxious at that time!

"Epilepsy? You said this is epilepsy?!"

Fuck! Quack!

No matter how amateur Xia Tian was, he knew that Yaya’s headache was definitely not caused by epilepsy.

Xia Tian took her child out of the hospital and used her connections to change to another hospital.

In the end, it was determined that it was not epilepsy at all, but a migraine caused by excessive brain use.

If it is treated as epilepsy, there is no telling what will happen!

Nowadays, there are many cases of people suffering from deafness or disability due to wrong medication or overdose.

Director Yang, who has always been tough and upright, acted as weak as an ordinary mother when she mentioned her sick daughter.

Her eyes suddenly turned red and she was about to cry.

"I'm not a good mother. I almost hurt Yaya..."

No matter what, Xia Tian averted a tragedy, and she felt relieved.

This is also the reason why Wang Chongqiu is extremely kind to Xia Tian. He is not only a close junior and a helpful actor to the crew, he is also the child's lifesaver!
……

Auditions began the following summer.

The clothes have been prepared long ago, according to summer's body shape. Now let's see if they need to be modified.

Then there is makeup.

The makeup artist of the Journey to the West crew is Wang Xizhong. Mr. Wang is also a veteran makeup artist with superb skills.

The crew also made dozens or even hundreds of various "monster headgear" for the Journey to the West filming, and he was required to design each of those looks.

But summer is also responsible for this.

When Xia Tian drew the design draft, he asked Mr. Zhang to make clay figurines. Xia Tian had many exchanges with Mr. Wang.

Later, the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" also asked Teacher Wang to be the chief makeup artist.

But in the end, Mr. Wang resigned because he was too busy. He traveled all over the world with the crew of Journey to the West and had no time to take care of Red Mansions.

Instead of occupying a seat, it is better to let others find someone earlier.

No, I haven't found it yet.
"Teacher Wang, you have to draw it better for me!" Xia Tian said.

Wang Xizhong combed Xia Tian's long hair and said, "Don't worry! I already have a draft in mind!"

Wang Xizhong looked at Xia Tian's face in the mirror and combed her smooth black hair with his hands.

"You have such great hair! I've never seen hair of such quality! It's black, smooth and thick!"

There will be various problems if your hair grows long, but this hair looks really nice in summer!
If I sell this, I can buy more~
