The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 386: Vision of the Film Industry

Afterwards, Grandma Li asked her aunt Wang Juanhong to go to the kitchen to prepare food.

And then let the little ones in the house watch TV obediently.

He then pulled Li Mu to the next room to talk.

Li Jun also followed behind.

"Grandma, uncle, I've been very busy lately and haven't had time to ask how Xiaolan and Xiaoyu are doing in elementary school?" Li Mu asked first.

Hearing this, Grandma Li smiled from ear to ear and said, "You don't know yet, Xiaolan and Xiaoyu have been admitted to Kyoto Yucai School!"

"Yes, Xiao Mu, thanks to your help, otherwise the two of them would definitely not be able to study in this school." Li Jun also said.

Kyoto Ikucai School is quite famous in Kyoto.

Founded in 37 years, it has a long history and is located in the Xiannongtan, a royal garden of two generations, with very good environmental conditions.

Whether it is the faculty or the teaching quality, it ranks quite high in Kyoto.

"This school is pretty good." Li Mu nodded slightly, not surprised.

After all, as the president of Beijing Institute of Technology, Qian Shuyan does have some power.

"More than good, I heard that the children studying there either have good backgrounds or are very smart..." Grandma Li chattered on and on about the information she had heard.

Li Mu did not interrupt but listened patiently, occasionally praising her with a smile and words like "well-informed".

For the elderly, companionship and listening are the best gifts.

The smile on Grandma Li's face never stopped.

Finally, she made a bold statement, "Don't worry, Xiao Mu. I am still in good spirits. I will definitely teach your two sisters to get into college!"

"Of course, grandma, you can even teach me, let alone Xiaolan and Xiaoyu!" Li Mu first praised, and then said:

"But we can't generalize about people's talents..."

He didn't finish his words.

But Grandma Li also understood and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Mu, I don't expect them to be like you, as long as they can get into university!"

She is not that greedy.

The Li family was blessed with a son like Li Mu, which was a great blessing.

Although Li Lan and Li Yu are quite smart, they are still far from the original Li Mu.

Grandma Li no longer expects them to become great scientists.

But at least he has to get into university and not bring shame to the Li family.

"But getting into university is not easy!" Li Mu couldn't help but worry about the future of his two younger sisters.

In this day and age, being able to get into a technical secondary school or a junior college is considered a rare talent.

College students are the chosen ones of heaven, and it is not an exaggeration to call them the best among men.

It’s not that easy to pass the exam.

……

Stay at home until about 10 o'clock.

After coaxing his two younger sisters to sleep, Li Mu said goodbye to his family and returned to the special building.

This time, after opening the door, he didn't see Wang Ya waiting for him.

The time they returned home was actually not much different, it was just that he was always a little later.

After looking at the watch, he went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles.

After covering it with a bowl, he placed it on the dining table in the living room before going to the study to continue his research work.

Take out a piece of manuscript paper.

The research program for the high-altitude platform is basically nearing completion.

As early as the day after tomorrow, he will be able to submit the plan, and they can start preparing for construction.

“After we finish the wind tunnel test, let’s work on building the aerial platform first.” Li Mu secretly planned in his mind.

Compared to the high-altitude platform, other research projects can be put on the back burner.

As for the development of mining equipment, he planned to set up the framework and get it on the right track during his time in Kyoto.

With the help of CAD software and the information he provided, the design itself is not difficult. In terms of manufacturing, there is a 3+2-axis CNC milling machine, so there is no problem with precision.

It’s just a matter of time to figure it out.

"But after the 3+2-axis CNC milling machine, I don't know how the research on CNC lathes and CNC grinders is going." Li Mu thought to himself.

After the launch of the 3+2-axis CNC milling machine, the development of CNC machine tools such as lathes and grinders has also been put on the agenda.

Since the key 3+2 axis technology had been solved, he did not ask about it.

But if there is still no news until now, maybe there was some problem. I should go back and check it out.

"There's also the matter of the film industry, and we need to find a way to do that," Li Mu thought.

When he entered the house today, he took a look at the show that Li Lan and Li Yu were watching.

It can be said that there is basically no content.

There are basically only a few TV programs in this era, and they are played over and over again without any novelty.

Now that semiconductor cameras are already available, it is a foregone conclusion that Xiaguo will enter the photographic equipment market.

Then getting involved in the film industry is also a good choice.

At least in terms of cultural output, the film industry is, to some extent, even stronger than the game industry.

"It's better to let the children shout that they want to be the Great Sage than to shout that they want to be superheroes every day." Li Mu thought secretly.

It is actually not difficult for the film industry to develop.

There are actually some film studios in Xiaguo, but due to factors such as conditions, technology and policies, there are not many works.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the economic environment.

As for the entertainment industry, when people can't even get enough to eat, they are rarely willing to spend money to watch movies. "In terms of subject matter, we can be a little more lenient, but we can't be impatient." Li Mu wrote the plan on a piece of paper.

It is obviously unrealistic to want to shoot a mythological story right from the start.

The current trend of thought makes it difficult for these things to appear.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

It would be nice to shoot some classic red films as well.

When he thinks about war films of later generations, he finds them unwatchable.

In the past, as a spectator, I could only curse behind the scenes.

If he decides what to shoot now, he will definitely give them some guidance.

……

Just when Li Mu was concentrating on writing.

A figure stood silently behind him.

He turned around and smiled, "Want to take a look?"

"No." Wang Ya shook her head.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is not a confidential research project. It's just a film industry development plan that I intend to propose to my superiors."

"Movies, why do you want to study this?" Wang Ya asked puzzledly.

Although she had watched movies several times when she was in college, she was deeply moved by the stories of those heroic characters.

But she doesn't think movies are more important than the country's industrial development.

Li Mu said:
"Don't underestimate movies. Abroad, they have high economic and cultural value, and are the best way to export culture."

“If we can make a good movie, its promotional effect will even be greater than that of the game.”

"After all, most people who play games are young people, while watching movies is an activity suitable for all ages."

He explained patiently.

Compared to games, movies do have a wider and larger audience.

“But developing the film industry will cost a lot of money, and after it is produced, it seems that we can only consume it domestically. The international market is not that big.” Wang Ya thought for a while and said.

Although she doesn't know much about international trade.

But he is very clear about Xia’s current international situation.

Apart from our tribal friends in the southeast and far away in the non-earth continent, we basically have no allies.

The relationship with Big Brother has only just eased a little bit, and it is still too early to talk about normal trade.

And even if Big Brother is included, the market doesn’t seem to be that big.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I can't go all out at the beginning, so just develop it slowly." Li Mu said with a smile.

It is definitely impossible for Xiaguo to vigorously develop the film industry now.

But development is always right.

Otherwise if he didn't intervene.

Therefore, if Xiaguo wants to make films for export to earn foreign exchange and export culture, the time will undoubtedly be greatly delayed.

When superheroes become popular there, even if the Monkey King wants to compete, he may not be able to win.

After all, the cultural environment is different, and it will definitely take them more time to be accepted.

"I'm just talking. I don't understand these things. You don't have to care about my opinion." Wang Ya's face suddenly turned red and said.

She was really stupid. Her husband was so smart, how could he not think of this?

Li Mu smiled and said:

"Who said you don't understand? Your opinion is very good."

"And maybe I'll need your help with something in the future."

"You can't refuse me then."

As he spoke, he stood up.

"What's the matter? How can I help? I don't know anything about the film industry!" Wang Ya widened her beautiful eyes and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Li Mu said casually: "Don't worry, it's not a difficult task, it's just making a movie."

"Me, making a movie?" Wang Ya had a questioning look on her face.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled and said, "Yeah, why not? You're so pretty."

"Of course not. Filming is the job of the art troupe. Why should I join in the fun? Trying to make me happy doesn't seem like a good excuse." Wang Ya blushed and rolled her eyes at him.

But having said that, she was still quite happy when Li Mu praised her for being pretty.

This idiot, it's rare for him to say such sweet words.

Li Mu explained: "It is because the filming staff is restricted that we have to boldly break this convention."

Although what he just said was half-joking, he was actually quite serious.

If Xiaguo's film industry wants to develop, it must cast a wide net to catch some talented people.

Otherwise, if we only select from the art troupe, the quality of the performers will be mixed.

Of course, this is not to say that art troupes are bad, but it would be better to expand their scope. Otherwise, the audience will get tired of the same few people performing over and over again.

……

Just when Li Mu was planning to develop the film industry.

On the other side, inside the Materials Research Institute.

In the laboratory late at night, the light of the halogen lamp emits a steady and lasting glow.

The researchers were busy working with various machines and equipment, their faces full of fatigue.
