1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 275: The conscience of my daily life is greatly damaged!

Xia Tian had just returned from the song and dance troupe, and was inevitably surrounded by a group of sisters and aunts, who played and sang. In the end, it was Aunt Wang who drove them away, and only then was she able to get away and talk about business.

Xia Tian's main purpose of going to the song and dance troupe this time was to find Li Lingyu.

She played the Jade Rabbit Fairy in "Journey to the West" and also sang "Indian Girl", a song they recorded together at the time.

Look, "Journey to the West" has just finished airing, and it's extremely popular!

Now local TV stations are negotiating with CCTV to broadcast "Journey to the West", but CCTV will not let go and plans to broadcast it a second time as soon as possible - the audience's call is too strong!

These days, Director Yang's daily work is to hold meetings, seminars, make reports, share experiences, etc. in various literary and artistic units and different departments of the station.

It can be seen that it is a success!
When Journey to the West had aired for more than ten episodes, the ratings reached its peak - over 96%!

After that, the ratings never dropped below 90% until the end of the show!

The TV series has ended, but the discussion is reaching its climax! The newspapers are so enthusiastic~
Some people have even started writing articles analyzing Journey to the West, and they are very accurate in taking advantage of the popularity.

Not to mention the actors! They all got the most bonuses!

For example, Li Lingyu from the song and dance troupe, she is also very popular now!

The song "Indian Girl" became popular all over the country, and now she is eager to officially enter the music scene and become a professional singer.

Xia Tian remembers that her acting career developed very smoothly and she was hailed as the "Queen of Sweet Songs".

But her emotional life was terrible, and she experienced two failed marriages...

However, this has nothing to do with Xia Tian. He came to see Li Lingyu because of Director Yang's instructions.

Isn’t it a hit? CCTV is planning to hold a small-scale New Year’s Eve Gala on the theme of Journey to the West.

It is definitely not as good as Qi Tianle. At that time, the filming had just been completed and all the cast were there. Now it cannot be said to be complete.

……

When I came back from the dance troupe in the summer, I started drawing comics of Journey to the West.

The characters have been set up, after all, they are all things in memory - the Monkey King, the dark-looking Pigsy, the long-faced Tang Monk...

As I was drawing, I heard the phrase "White Dragon's horse hooves facing west~"

While drawing the line draft, he was also distracted by thinking about the many actors in "Journey to the West".

Li Lingyu became famous, but "Journey to the West" did not only make her famous.

The first one is Teacher Liu!

That's really a happy ending after all the hard work - now I don't have to worry about Xia Tian getting a good deal on him!
Then there is Tang Seng. I wonder if the rich woman who deals in red sandalwood and antique furniture has set her eyes on him?

Xia Tian got some plausible news from his friends in the compound. It seems that this rich lady Zi Tan has some relationship with Hua Shuai's family?
Alas, it’s not easy to get ahead these days!

In addition to the four masters and apprentices, other actors also became a little famous.

Xia Tian himself won’t say it—it’s not Xiaobailong that made Xia Tian famous, it’s Xia Tian that made Xiaobailong famous.

Others, like He Qing, who played Lianlian in “The Four Saints Test Their Mortal Hearts” and an actor from the Kunqu Opera Troupe, were met by Director Yang at the train station.

If we include the film version of Dream of the Red Chamber which has not yet been released, He Qing can be said to have performed in all four great classics.

There is also Tang Monk's mother, Ma Lan, one of the five golden flowers of Huangmei Opera - she later married Yu Qiuyu, who was 16 years older than her and abandoned his wife and daughter.

Ma Lan has won a lot of awards for stage plays! It took a lot of effort to invite this person.

For example, Miss Gao Wei Huili, I don’t know how Huili is doing now?

And Milan!

Milan's performance as "White Bone Lady" unexpectedly won praise from the audience!
They say that although she is young, she has performed the madness and viciousness of the White Bone Demon, who will not give up until she achieves her goal.
Especially when he deceived Tang Seng for the second time and saw them arguing with each other - Milan didn't know what he remembered at that time, and suddenly started laughing neurotically!
That long string of seemingly crazy and meaningless laughter was retained by Director Yang.

It's unexpectedly so frustrating!
Just this one laugh made the image of Mrs. White Bone much more full-bodied!

Fang Xiaoyan from the Yanjing Youth Daily even came to interview Milan - she has now learned the true skills of Xia Tian, ​​and she is taking advantage of the popularity!
Oh, by the way, the actor who played the little Taoist boy beside the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun in Journey to the West was Xu Qing, who was only 13 years old at the time...

Anyway, Director Yang had said this harshly because Xia Tian always went to the Red Mansion crew and didn't want to go with the Journey to the West crew - You little brat actually despised the Journey to the West crew for being so hard-working, they were all monsters and ghosts, I'm going to make you regret it! Find me a pretty girl when you get there, no matter if she's a monster or a fairy, I want the prettiest one!
It really came true!

……

Xia Tian was very familiar with "Journey to the West", and he painted quickly with great speed as if inspired by God.

However, when he was drawing the comic book "Journey to the West", a group of villains came to Yanjing.

Among them were two people with whom I had met before in the summer - they were the staff members who filmed the Yanjing food documentary.

They told CCTV the purpose of their visit - they wanted to buy the broadcasting rights of the TV series "Journey to the West". This is naturally a good thing!
What a great achievement it is to be able to spread the four great classics abroad!

Besides, the station is always short of money, so it is naturally a good thing~
However, the leaders are cautious after all. They agree in principle, but the details still need to be discussed in a meeting.

Of course, we have to sell it, but how to sell it? How much to sell it for? That's the problem.

After two consecutive days of meetings, no consensus was reached.

Then a staff member invited Xia Tian to go to the station, and actually let Zhang Li take him.

Xia Tian: No, how did they know?
It is obvious that Xia Tian had brought Zhang Li to the station to make her familiar, which made many people in the station think that Zhang Li and Xia Tian were "friends".

That’s right!

I went there in the summer.

"You want to sell Journey to the West? That's a good thing, just sell it." Xia Tian asked curiously, what's there to be so fussy about?
Director Yang was a little depressed. "There are differences of opinion on the pricing in the station. Some people think we should charge less, after all, spreading cultural influence is the most important thing. Some people want to charge more. I am just worried that we will sell good things at a low price..."

Xia Tian nodded: That’s right, if it’s sold too cheaply, it’s better not to sell it!
He asked, "How much do you want if you want more?"

Director Yang said: "One thousand...US dollars per episode."

"How many?!"

Director Yang was a little embarrassed: "Isn't it a bit too much?"

Xia Tian: "A lot? That's too little, right? I won't sell it for less than 10,000! I'll go ask!"

Originally, Xia Tian came here to meet this group of young people - I don’t know why, but they insisted on meeting “Xia Sang”!
Xia Tian doesn’t know why: is it because I didn’t drink enough bean juice?! This time I’ll make you full! If you can’t finish it, you’ll have to take it with you!
As soon as we met, the man opposite was very humble. He was tall and short, and even bowed slightly when shaking hands.

Xia Tian muttered to himself: This guy who doesn't hit anyone who smiles at him, did he know that I want to force them to drink soy milk? !

Actually, it is not.

But it’s because summer is actually very popular in Japan!
Let me put it this way, in the popularity ranking of Chinese stars in Japan, Xia Tian ranks third, after Jackie Chan and Teresa Teng!
Even more popular than Yuen Biao and some other Hong Kong stars!

Inexplicable!
Maybe it's because Xia Tian, ​​who is tall and handsome, exudes confidence and freedom, which unexpectedly fits the G-spot of the little people at this time~
That’s the only explanation!
So, this time the delegation from the TV station came here, firstly to buy "Journey to the West", and secondly to ask "Xia Sang, do you want to develop in Japan (ghost smile~)?"

Xia Tian: Fuck you!

Representative of daily life: My sister is 14 years old this year, Xia Sang can cultivate more feelings~
Of course I won't go in the summer! Even if I sacrifice my sister, it won't work!

But they also thought, after all, how popular is summer in China now? Judging from the last contact, I'm afraid he won't come.

So just give it a try.

If you don’t want to come, then don’t come. They have a second purpose!
That is to ask Xia Sang to make a "promotional film" for the TV series "Journey to the West"~
A few days ago, the reason why Xiao Ri Zi Radio discovered the huge hit of the TV series "Journey to the West" here and came so quickly was because there were fans there who continued to pay attention to Xia Sang's actions across the sea.

I learned that the TV series he starred in was broadcast, and then I realized it was "Journey to the West".

Xia Tian was a little confused: Oh no! Why are you still coming for me?

It doesn’t matter if I shoot a “promotional video”. It’s just a few minutes long. I cut some parts from the main film and act some parts myself. It only takes two or three days.

The problem is to sell it at a good price!

Xia Tian: I can’t sell it at a low price!
So Xia Tian said directly: "Ten thousand dollars per episode!"

Xiao Ri discussed the time for lunch and made the decision with Xia Tian directly: "Deal! Please cooperate with me in shooting the promotional video..."

Xia Tian: “Sure!”

Xia Tian went back and told the CCTV leader: "Xiao Rizi has agreed to pay 10,000 US dollars per episode."

"How many?"

In the summer, my voice became out of tune after listening to that station!

"45 US dollars?!" The station has never seen such a huge income!

The current official exchange rate is a little over 3.7, which is approximately 167 million RMB.

This is just one round of broadcasting rights!

"Journey to the West" has directly recovered half of its investment!
In fact, this was the time when Japan was the richest. The Japanese yen was appreciating rapidly, and Xia made a lot of money from it.

No one takes this 45 US dollars seriously at all!

Originally, Xia Tian thought that he had done a good job in this matter and it was quite face-saving.

As a result, I immediately discovered that my conscience in life was greatly damaged!
Thanks to Xiaoxiaobenbenmao for the 100-point reward!
