Chapter 19 The runaway bear!

Comedy is undoubtedly about making fun of others. Xia Tian suggested making fun of his own people, which was approved by everyone.

It is safest and easier to write about yourself.

Everyone is so full of life!

Zheng Xiaolong thought it made sense as soon as he heard it, and the theme of "The Story of the Editorial Department" was roughly determined.

As for the issues concerning "Big Spender" and "The Yanjing Man in New York", Xia Tian did not give in.

The novel has just been scheduled for publication, so there is no need to be too definitive.

If the response is good and he really wants to shoot it, he can go ahead and shoot it.

……

After the meal, everyone went back to write the script for "The Story of the Editorial Department" as agreed before, but the script submitted gave Zheng Xiaolong a headache - the style was too inconsistent and varied. Some of it had a Shaanxi flavor, while others felt like a crosstalk.

However, the two stories written in Fangyan really attracted Zheng Xiaolong's attention!

That kind of Beijing-style teasing and nonsensical style is exactly what he wants, humorous yet with the feeling of a TV drama. It is very impactful and very visual!
He used these two articles in dialect as models for everyone to use as reference when writing, but most people were unable to write in the dialect's sarcastic tone that was both poor, noisy, and reasonable.

Fangyan has made great strides in writing in recent years, with several novels published and many of them made into movies.

That unique Beijing style of ruffianism and sharp sarcasm is something that most people can’t learn!

Zheng Xiaolong was worried. Fangyan was a very stubborn person. He might not be willing to write the whole thing if you asked him to. He didn't have the patience to write dozens of episodes.

At this moment, someone stood up and volunteered, that was Feng Yiku Feng Kuzi!
Feng Kuazi is now in his thirties and works as an artist at the Television Art Center. He used to follow Fang Yan and Xia Tian around to eat and drink for free, and he lived a pretty carefree life.

But he still had a desire to move forward, especially when his daughter was born with a cleft lip and he couldn't afford the thousands of dollars for surgery.

Although Milan paid the money at that time, he also took care of the couple's face and said it was a small gift from the uncle and aunt.

But this incident still aroused Pants' ambition!
Now, the opportunity has come!
He seized the opportunity and wrote a script to show to Zheng Xiaolong, the director of his unit.

You know what, Kuazi has been following the dialect for so many years, saying 3,600 nice things, and has been treated like a grandson, but it was not in vain, he has learned this writing style very vividly!

Zheng Xiaolong saw that the writing style was indeed similar to that of the dialect. When he learned that Kuazi had previously participated in the script writing of the TV series "The Troublemakers" adapted from the dialect novel, he felt even more satisfied.

So, Kuazi joined the script writing team of "The Story of the Editorial Department", and later seven episodes of the TV series were independently written by Feng Kuazi.

Of course, there are some other stories here, which I will tell you later.

……

On March 3, Xia Tian attended the third Mao Dun Literature Prize hosted by Zuo Xie as a guest.

Five novels won awards, including Lu Yao's "Ordinary World", Ling Li's "The Young Emperor", Sun Li and Yu Xiaohui's "Urban Romance", Liu Baiyu's "The Second Sun", and Huo Da's "A Muslim Funeral".

As a result, as soon as the award ceremony was over, Xia Tian was blocked by people before he could even leave the venue!

"Hello, Xia Tian. I'm a reporter from the Yanjing Morning Post. I heard that the movie you directed in the United States grossed over 100 million US dollars. Can I interview you?"

Xia Tian found out that the news had finally been passed on.

"Ah, well, of course you can interview me, but now is not the time..." As he said that, Xia Tian greeted a leader from a distance and hurried over.

The reporter saw the leader and couldn't chase him. But he didn't leave and continued to block Xia Tian.

In the end, Xia Tian couldn't just sneak away like that, so he simply replied a few words, then quickly packed up his things after returning home.

Xia Tian said to Milan and the others, "It's no use. News has come in that Home Alone is a huge hit in the US. I think a lot of people will be looking for me in the next couple of days. I have to leave early, otherwise I won't be able to leave."

He planned to go to the Northeast first, and then enter the territory of Russia from the Northeast. He would buy whatever good things he could find in some big cities along the way.

Those places in Moscow are where international giants eat meat, so I won’t go there. It’s enough for me to eat the scraps of the Far East!

When Milan heard what Xia Tian said, he immediately got angry!

With his hands on his hips, he angrily said, "Great! You're leaving after just a few days back! Do you think this is a guesthouse? You must give us an explanation today!"

When Xiaoxu and Zhang Li heard this, they both quietly stepped back: If you want to give an explanation, don't take us with you!

As a result, Milan blocked the door directly: No one can leave today~ Let’s fight to our heart’s content!

Then three minutes later, it was CD time...

On March 3, an article about a brief interview with Xia Tian by a reporter from the Yanjing Morning Post was published in the newspaper.

The men and women in Yanjing were immediately excited!

I haven't seen any news about summer for a while since the New Year, but now there is one. I took a closer look and oh my god!

How much did the movies directed by Xia Tian sell in the United States?
Let me see how many zeros there are?

Huh?! One hundred million US dollars? Or even more?!
Many people were stunned on the spot and quickly touched their faces: I don’t have a fever?
What's going on?

To be honest, he has shocked people so many times in the summer in recent years that everyone's tolerance and understanding of him are very broad.

But, this is too ridiculous, right?

What does one hundred million US dollars mean?

I do not know.

Anyway, I know that there are several Friendship Stores in this old city, but they can't sell so much foreign exchange in a year!
No, can we sell so much in ten years?

How much is this 100 million US dollars?
Most people really don’t know what the current exchange rate is, but the reporter was very considerate and converted it in the article, which is more than 500 million.

More than 500 million? Hahaha~
The hands of the men, young and old, holding the newspapers began to tremble.

The average monthly salary at Yanjing this year is 240 yuan, which is already a pretty good job.

How many 240 yuan are there in million? I can't figure it out! I really can't figure it out~
When this news came out, it really caused a stir!
Early in the morning, a large group of people were bewildered and asked: Is this true? Where is Xia Tian now?!
Industry insiders were even more anxious: Where is summer? Go find summer!

From the editorial departments of newspapers and magazines, to the reporters at the TV station, to the leaders of CCTV, to Xia Tian’s friends... everyone looked for Xia Tian.

Countless people spent the whole morning asking, "What? Xia Tian asked for leave again, saying he's going abroad to visit Russia? Is he going to film a movie in Russia?!"

At this time, Xia Tian was about to cross Shanhaiguan accompanied by Li Kuiyong.

Including this time, this is his fourth time to come to Northeast China.

The first time was when the crew of Dream of Red Mansions came here to shoot the snow scene, Fengjie’s death and the final ending “The white earth is so clean”.

The second time was when I was filming the documentary "A Bite of China" in Northeast China. It was a delicious meal there.
The third time was when I accompanied Xiaoxu home. It was just a simple meeting with her parents, which reassured Xiaoxu's parents and gave her an explanation.

This is the fourth time...

Of course, I was from Northeast China in my previous life, so I am very familiar with it.

We arrived here, first arriving in Shencheng. There were two cars waiting at the station.

Xia Tian got off the car wearing a mask and a hat, with Brother Yong carrying two small suitcases.

Xia Tian walked up to the car and said, "Fuck you, Lao Liu, your car is better than mine!"

In the summer, I also drive Wuling microvans and Yanjing Jeeps.
As soon as he said this, his friends noticed, "Hey! Brother Tian'er?! Why are you dressed like this? Come here quickly, let me introduce you..."

"Shh!" Xia Tian hurriedly stopped him, "Don't make a fuss here, go back and talk about it."

Xia Tian's face is well-known to everyone. If it is really exposed, not only will the station be jam-packed, it will definitely affect the order of the station.

We got in the car and were taken to the restaurant. My friend asked the waiter to serve the food first, and then introduced some new friends to Xia Tian.

In the early summers, in order to help some idle friends avoid being beaten, we dispersed them to the Northeast, Southeast, coastal areas and economic development zones.

Provide ideas and start-up capital at the same time.

Now that everyone shares what they have, they are all doing very well.

Moreover, friends will know friends, and those they think are reliable will eventually be introduced to Xia Tian.

Before the Chinese New Year last year, Xia was in the United States, and Milan helped host this year's "Friendship Party" at He Yuzhu's Sihai Hotel. The entire place was booked out that day, and all the private rooms on the second floor were connected. More than 200 people came!

These people have achieved some success in a provincial capital or a southeastern coastal city. They are connected with each other, exchange information, have financial turnover, and help each other when they are in trouble. This invisible force is very powerful!

Just like Xia Tian’s friends in Shencheng and the friends he introduced, they are all ruthless people who have been doing “foreign trade” with the Russians in recent years!

Xia Tian had long planned to take advantage of the last breath of the Mao Xiong to make a trip and grab as much as possible.

Although he didn't know what he could get, it was definitely worth the trip.

I told my friends here about this before the New Year, and we were already prepared.

This time, they are going to form a big team...

　I suggest you take a quick look at it and don’t keep it.

　　Now I delete a few words from each picture. If you read it too late, it will be incomplete...
