Chapter 27: Just be a director, don’t be a screenwriter!
In March, a large group of people in China were frantically looking for Xia Tian. They didn’t know what they would do after finding him, but they just wanted to find him!

A movie has a box office of 100 million US dollars, 500 million RMB!

Just hearing this number is enough to make many people's heads spin and their minds flutter!

Let’s look for Xia Tian first, and then decide what to do after we find him.

Anyway, I have to find him and talk to him!
Xia Tian also anticipated the heat and ran away early.

I took a leave and led the team north to the Russian Bear.

Most people don’t know that Xia Tian led a team to visit Mao Xiong.

A small number of people knew about it but didn't know what he was doing. Anyway, after more than a month, everyone had calmed down a lot.

Especially the interview transcript he left behind before leaving, which diverted the topic from the movie "Home Alone" to the "going abroad fever".

Although there are still quite a number of people who care about the frighteningly high movie box office, they are mainly related film and television practitioners.

The general public has been drawn to the "going abroad craze" and has begun discussing what's so great about the United States and what's so great about it.
Most people still think, "I don't know where it is good, but it's good! I want to go see it."
There's nothing we can do about it.

Go, go, it’s going to rain and my mother is going to get married!

……

And now, summer is back, and it has done something big.

Although not many people know the full story, Yanjing is a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are everywhere, so there are still some people who know part of the truth.

Most of the well-informed people only know that he went to Russia and spent a lot of money in exchange for a lot of valuable things.

Some even say they bought a passenger plane for almost nothing in the summer and are planning to sell it!
Anyway, he made a lot of money on this trip~
I don’t know how many people were excited when they heard about Xia Tian – that guy was even more excited than a movie that made 500 million yuan in Xia Tian!

We don’t know how to make movies, but we might be able to be profiteers, right?!

Everyone is ready to try.

The higher-ups knew how much Xia Tian had accomplished this time and what a great contribution he had made.

I’m still sorting out the information and drawings, but there are already countless surprises.

Xia Tian heard the phrase "...can save XXX years for XXX technology" six or seven times.

This is only a small part of the information, and there is still a lot that is being sorted out.

Xia Tian brought back the information of those important machinery factories, military factories, and aircraft manufacturing plants, and every piece of paper with words on it that he could - more than ten cubic meters of information!
What's more, there are people here!

There are five or six ZD machine designers alone, experts in this and that field, specializing in everything from materials to styling, from engines to dynamics... We've found a treasure!
The higher-ups are also trying to protect Xia Tian. One LD hinted, "Don't always focus on what Xia Tian is doing abroad! It's all for the development of China. You should be more calm..."

Anyway, there are no reporters chasing Xia Tian to interview him about the box office of "Home Alone".

But friends still have to ask.

For example, Dachun~
……

In the past few days since summer came back, the authorities have suppressed this wave of popularity.

He finally calmed down a bit.

Except for Feng Kuazi slapping his thigh and complaining - please be sure to bring him along next time there is such a good thing in the summer!
Feng Kuazi had a bitter face and cried: "I have never encountered any opportunities to make a fortune in my life. Brother Tian'er, please guide me!"

He was so angry in his heart - if he had become my brother-in-law, would I have missed out on this opportunity to make a fortune? That fat guy got it all for free! He hated it so much~
Dachun didn't think too much about it. Although he had never made a fortune, he would take a share of everything he could do in the summer over the years.

For example, those friends who were dealing in K-bonds in the early years, although Xiaodong led the team, Dachun ran errands for them in Yanjing and also got a share of the profits.

Not to mention the courtyard we live in now, which was given to me by Xia Tian when I got married to Xiao Guo (Guo Xiaozhen, who played Shi Xiangyun in the TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions").

Dachun had never worried about money, but he had never been short of it either. This summer, when he came back, he specially invited the two of them over—the four of them, Dachun and Deng Jie—to have dinner together.

It can also be considered a gathering of good friends from the Red Mansions crew.

While eating, Dachun told Xia Tian about his work situation.

Dachun is already a formal screenwriter in the Television Drama Art Center, and he can also serve as an assistant director from time to time.

Xiao Guo also often works as a stage manager and occasionally plays a supporting role.

The couple are now partners in life and work.
And Zhao Baogang is making even faster progress than him! He was even listed as the co-director of the TV series "Desire"!

Dachun picked up a piece of barbecue and gave it to Xiao Guo while praising Dagangzi: "Hey, you must admit that Dagangzi is really capable. How did you know he had this ability?"

Xia Tian: Me? I saw it later~
Xia Tian didn't say anything, but picked up some food for Milan, Xiao Xu and Zhang Li. He looked at Deng Jie and picked up a piece of meat for her.

Milan and the other two looked at Deng Jie with a smile, which made her blush. In the end, she put the meat in her mouth reluctantly and ate it.

Milan: Okay, okay, you've been holding it in for so many years, you're amazing! Let's enter the bridal chamber, tonight!

When Deng Jie was training on the set, she had a very good relationship with Xiaoxu and Zhang Li, and often talked with Xia Tian and the others.

Xia Tian put in a lot of effort to help her get the role of Feng Jie, giving her advice, encouraging her, and even doing her makeup herself.

As a result, Fengjie's husband sent her a divorce agreement, and the apparent reason was that the actors were separated by vast distances and could not see each other, and their relationship was not harmonious.

Actually, Deng Jie had a checkup and was found to be unable to have children...

After the filming of the TV series was completed, Deng Jie did not return to Sichuan Province, but stayed in Yanjing to develop.

Xia Tian didn't know about it at first, but later she found out by chance and discovered that Deng Jie rented a small house and could only use her connections to do odd jobs related to film and television.

At that time, Xia Tian happened to have three terraced courtyard houses in the depths of Baihua, so he let her live in one of the renovated ones and also arranged a job for her.

Later, as time went by, my feelings gradually deteriorated...

Of course, no one had broken through this layer of window paper. Perhaps it was the level of sisterhood + ambiguity?
Anyway, Milan and the others were really anxious: Can you please hurry up?!
Xiao Guo was smart and naturally noticed this scene. He also carefully looked at Xiao Xu, Zhang Li and Milan. He saw that the three of them seemed impatient and eager to try... Anyway, it was quite complicated!
Oh, I'll just pretend I didn't see anything about it. Their relationship is so complicated, I feel like I'm going to explode just thinking about it~
Dachun, on the other hand, simply didn't notice this scene and was still bragging to Xia Tian: "I was recently rowing with Xiao Guo and wrote a sentence. I'm very satisfied with it. I'll read it to you~"

When Xiao Guo heard this, he quickly covered his face!

Then I listened to Dachun's rhythmic recitation: "Boating on the lake, the setting sun is behind the boat... The sunlight casts a long strip on the lake... Like a boat pulling the sunset!"

"Puff!" Milan almost sprayed a mouthful of Arctic Ocean water onto the barbecue, but fortunately he turned his head quickly.

Dachun: How is it?
Xia Tian: Brother, just be a director in the future, and stop being a screenwriter!
……

There is one more thing that Xia Tian wants to discuss with them during this dinner.

The "Editor's Story" that was promised before may be filmed.

Originally, things were moving very quickly here. Fang Yan, Ma Dudu, and Feng Kuazi gathered together the scripts, each writing a few episodes, and submitted them with great joy. However, they unexpectedly failed to pass the review!

The boss said the script was not good - it was too slick!
Older leaders can't stand this kind of ruffian style!
So everyone dispersed, thinking that their efforts were in vain.

Who knew that in less than two weeks, the situation would change again? Perhaps it was a loosening of the atmosphere, or perhaps it was the policy, or perhaps the TV station was short of programs. Anyway, the leader sent another message, saying: Bring back that script and take another look at it~
Everyone at the Seahorse Creative Center was delighted, only to find out that the script was nowhere to be found!
At that time, there was no computer storage, and people had to use paper and pen to write. None of those guys with good backgrounds were willing to rewrite the already written script.

At this time, Feng Kuazi seized the opportunity - and stepped forward!

He said he had a good memory and tried to write it down from memory, a task no one challenged him to.

In this way, Feng Kuazi became a screenwriter with a signed credit by relying on several stories he wrote and the rewriting of the script this time - before that he was just an artist on the crew.

As a result, the old script that was lost two days ago was suddenly found again - we are all smart people, and everyone suddenly understood the good memory of pants~
As expected of you, Feng Kuazi, you are such a thief!
