The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 483: The Legend of Li Mu

It doesn't matter whether it looks good or not.

The key is to conform to Li Mu's personal image and there cannot be any distortion.

Tian Fang also nodded and planned to skip this topic.

But just then.

A voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd, saying:
"I think what Comrade Liu Shilong said just now is very good and also quite realistic. He is just a nerd, and it won't affect his personal image."

Hear this.

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes immediately.

Aunt Sun reacted very quickly and cursed directly, saying:
"Nonsense, no one in our school calls him a nerd!"

Ever since Li Mu became famous.

She has suffered a lot.

Although no one deliberately caused trouble.

But such things cannot be concealed.

Everyone who knew that she said this privately scolded her for being blind and daring to look down on Li Mu.

"Come here, I want to have a good talk with you!" Aunt Sun rolled up her sleeves, put her hands on her hips, and looked like a shrew.

She had to make this matter clear today, otherwise she would be ridiculed secretly in the future.

Seeing this, the crowd subconsciously made way for the person who was speaking.

When you see the other person's face clearly.

Aunt Sun's legs almost went limp and she fell to the ground.

She stammered:

"Li... Consultant Li, why is it you?"

At this moment, her expression was uglier than crying.

She originally thought she could find someone to vent her anger on and at the same time divert the public's attention away from her.

It turned out that this person was Li Mu.

She had just scolded him.

The sky is falling!
Li Mu stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Auntie Sun, your voice hasn't changed. You seem to be in good health."

"Actually, I don't think you need to care about such trivial matters."

"And I never think that nerd is a derogatory term. They just study hard during their period of study and want to accumulate enough knowledge to serve the country."

After he finished speaking.

Tian Fang, Liu Shilong and Liu Xian immediately started clapping.

Seeing this, everyone quickly followed suit and applauded.

The warm applause lasted for a long time in the courtyard of the slum.

Aunt Sun stared blankly at the gentle smile on Li Mu's face.

Her heart, which had always been worried about being "retaliated against", suddenly calmed down.

Just when she wanted to say something else.

Li Mu had been surrounded by Liu Shilong and the other two. After giving her a friendly smile, he stopped looking at her.

"Okay, Xiaomu doesn't hold a grudge at all, so you don't have to keep thinking about those things. We can have enough to eat now, thanks to him." Uncle Zhong whispered behind her.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Sun blushed with embarrassment.

……

Here.

Li Mu looked at Aunt Sun who bowed deeply to him from behind the crowd and nodded slightly in greeting.

The other party's previous behavior was indeed disgusting.

But after all, no bad consequences were caused.

Otherwise, he would not have helped him out.

Otherwise, just put on this Mao hat today.

When the special period comes later, the other party will definitely be in dire straits.

……

Look back.

Li Mu first greeted Grandma Li whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.

Then he asked Tian Fang and the other two to come in and sit down, and asked them why they came.

When they learned that their filming request had been approved.

It wasn't a surprise to him.

However, when he learned that the name of the movie was "Legend of Li Mu", he couldn't hold it in any longer and said:

"How about you change your name?"

"Why is that?" Tian Fang hesitated for a moment, then asked.

He didn't dare say that the name was given by the leader of the Cultural Committee.

At that time, they all agreed that it was very good.

After all, looking at Li Mu’s... 24-year-old life, it really deserves the description of legend.

Li Mu rubbed his brows and said:
"The word 'legend' is too ostentatious, and there's no need to add my name to it."

He now suddenly felt that agreeing to let Tian Fang make a movie about himself was not the right decision.

"Okay, okay, I will report to my leader and let you know when it's confirmed." Tian Fang said.

Hearing this, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and continued:
"By the way, since there's already news about this Li... movie, what about the other movie, 'Awakening Age'?"

The filming idea he originally proposed at the Beijing Film Studio was based on a serious drama of later generations.

It’s just that in this serious drama, many famous people are involved.

Some of them are still alive, so it’s hard to say whether they can be photographed.

"Well, Shen Yangbing, leader of the Cultural Committee, said that we need to apply to the leadership, so let's wait for a while." Tian Fang said truthfully.

Involve your superiors in the movie.

This is definitely a very sensitive behavior, and any carelessness may lead to unpredictable consequences.

Therefore, even though Shen Yangbing is the head of the Cultural Committee, he still has to consult with his superiors before making any decision.

"Is that so? Then it seems there is not much hope." Li Mu shook his head and said.

Upon hearing this, Tian Fang said:

"In fact, I think your idea, Consultant Li, is very good, and Leader Shen also agrees with your idea, but the timing is really not right now."

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if that one can't be filmed. But you have to make this one well. You can contact me if you have any questions." Li Mu said.

The idea of ​​"Awakening Age" itself was just a test of the above.

So he was not surprised when he failed.

If it doesn’t work, it won’t be too late to shoot it later.

Tian Fang patted his chest and assured:
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

"But I do have a question I want your advice on."

"As for the actor who plays you, do you have any requirements?"

Li Mu smiled and said:

"As long as the image is acceptable, it's fine."

……

The night is getting darker.

After briefly exchanging some ideas with Li Mu about the filming of "The Legend of Li Mu".

Tian Fang and others left quickly and contentedly.

Li Mucai had time to chat with Grandma Li and others.

While eating the chicken legs and French fries fried by his aunt Wang Juanhong, he asked about the recent situation at home.

Not surprisingly.

Having a very good life.

After all, even if Li Mu didn’t send money home frequently.

The salary of Li Jun and Wang Juanhong alone is enough for them to have meat once a day.

But he kept asking.

I noticed that Grandma Li's tone was not right, and two out of three sentences were about the child.

Seeing this, he quickly asked Li Jun for help.

But the latter just gave him a helpless look, as if to say:
"Be patient with it, and it will pass after you bear with it."

In this home.

No matter whether it is him, the factory director, or Li Mu, the scientist.

In front of Grandma Li, you have to be obedient.

Grandma Li continued to talk:

"Xiao Mu, I know you have a lot to do, but you should also hurry up with your personal matters. If you don't have time, I can..."

Li Mu looked at her concerned eyes and felt helpless.

He always felt that now was not the right time.

Having a baby is simple.

But he has too many things to do now and it is difficult to balance both.

And he also has some uncertainties about that special period in the future.

So he always maintained a cautious attitude in this matter.

But obviously I can't say these words to Grandma Li.

Fortunately, in the end, Grandma Li still felt sorry for her eldest grandson.

After talking for a while, he turned to talk about Li Lan and Li Yu's study situation and said unhappily:

"These two little girls did well in their final exams, and now they are both very proud of themselves."

"They just had fun the entire winter vacation, and no one could control them."

"If your academic performance drops, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

Hear what Grandma Li said.

Li Lan and Li Yu were horrified and looked at Li Mu for help.

Seeing this, Li Mu silently moved the small stool under his buttocks and pretended to look at the big banyan tree outside the window with its branches full of fallen snow.

——This tree is a real tree!
……

The next day, early.

Li Mu woke up in his home in the slum.

Wash up and finish exercising.

After saying something to Grandma Li and others.

He then prepared to go to the Foreign Trade Committee.

It is indeed a good idea to release games from other manufacturers on their game consoles.

In the past, other countries had not yet developed games.

There is now.

Definitely something to pay attention to.

"We can also set up a rating mechanism, gradually gaining the right to speak in the gaming field and becoming an authority." Li Mu thought secretly.

They used to dominate the gaming industry.

Even now.

But that may not be the case in the future.

Although they can restrict the export of equipment to ensure that their game consoles are always several steps ahead of foreign ones.

But selling games can make money, and selling equipment can also make money, so he plans to do both.

Therefore, he had to find a way to make those game manufacturers play under the system he established.

The first thing to seize is the right to speak.

This doesn’t mean that they can get it if they produce a lot of good games.

It must be recognized by all game manufacturers and game players.

Come to the Foreign Trade Committee.

Li Mu found Dong Huaxing and told him about his plan.

For his thoughts.

After hearing this, the latter was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

After all, the Foreign Trade Commission is well aware of the situation abroad.

They have investigated those emerging game manufacturers.

It will not pose any threat to them in the short term, but who can say what will happen in the future?

Dong Huaxing exclaimed:

"If your idea is successful, the games we make will surely become more and more popular and become a benchmark in the hearts of foreign players."

Putting the power of rating in their hands will definitely be beneficial to Xia Country's gaming industry.

"If you want to become a benchmark, then first of all you have to be fair." Li Mu smiled and said.

Hearing this, Dong Huaxing was stunned.

Isn't this rating mechanism used to restrict foreign games?
If we talk about fairness, wouldn't they be taken advantage of by others?

He couldn't help but ask doubtfully:

"Why is this again?"

Li Mu explained:
"What we need is not to compete with foreign game manufacturers for those petty profits."

“It’s about making our standards the world’s standards through a scoring mechanism.”

“Therefore, the fairness of this scoring mechanism must be guaranteed so that everyone can accept it, recognize it, and follow it.”

In fact, this thing is equivalent to TGA in later generations. It's just that the game industry has just developed and cannot have the wide influence like later generations.

Dong Huaxing reacted quickly and said:
"You're right. The most important thing about this rating system is credibility. If it can't even be fair, it will only become a laughing stock!"

He was glad that Li Mu reminded him.

Otherwise, if we follow his ideas, the scoring mechanism will definitely fail in the end.

Don't be afraid of failure.

I’m afraid that other countries will follow suit and create one to disgust them.

This is really possible.

After all, they don't have much say in the media abroad.

In addition, Western countries have always been dissatisfied with their continuous reapment of huge profits from the game market and will definitely interfere.

Think deeper.

Maybe they are already preparing?
Think of this.

Dong Huaxing stood up from his chair with a swish and said:
"Advisor Li, I will go and inform the He family in Hong Kong and ask them to implement this matter as soon as possible to prevent others from getting ahead of us!"

Although this method is novel, it may not be unexpected by others.

After all, the rating mechanism is similar to an upgraded version of literary criticism.

It's just that the evaluation of the work is more definite and is directly expressed in a numerical range of 6-10.

Of course, the leading position of this scoring mechanism is certain.

However, if Western countries come up with a game review first, it will definitely have a certain impact on their plans.

Seeing Dong Huaxing who wanted to leave after speaking in a hurry.

Li Mu quickly stopped him and said with a smile:

"Don't worry. Even if foreign countries take it out before us, we still have the advantage."

"After all, it's hard for them to judge their own games fairly."

"As long as people see the selfishness behind their judgments, they will sooner or later become a joke, or even become the nutrient of our mechanism."

They can speak justice.

This is because Xiaguo’s gaming industry is already in a leading position.

There is no need to show favoritism and the scores you get will be very high.

But it is hard to say about foreign game manufacturers.

At least as far as Li Mu knows, in the current game market, apart from Big Brother's "War" which sold about 20 copies.

For other games, none of them even exceed 5.

"That makes sense." Dong Huaxing stopped walking, turned around and gave Li Mu a thumbs up.

……

After discussing the scoring mechanism.

Li Mu soon left the Foreign Trade Committee.

Before leaving.

He also took away two boxes of good tea from Dong Huaxing.

He then moved on to the Foreign Affairs Committee.

……

to the place.

When passing through the gate, I was checked by the guards.

Li Mu saw Qiao Guanghua and Yakov coming out.

The two walked together.

And he said this.

But it was mostly Yakov who did the talking, and Qiao Guanghua just nodded occasionally to respond.

But soon.

Yakov gave up his plan to negotiate with Qiao Guanghua.

Because he saw Li Mu out of the corner of his eye.

To be more precise, it was Li Mu's private car.

"Advisor Li!" Yakov took two steps at a time, walked forward quickly, and shouted loudly.

See this.

Li Mu opened the car door, got out of the car, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Yakov, what a coincidence that you are here too."

"I came here specifically to see you, but diplomat Qiao kept saying you were not here." Yakov glanced at Qiao Guanghua on the side and said angrily.

Hearing this, Li Mu said:

"I was indeed quite busy recently. I waited two days to find out that you had a new team of experts coming."

"So that's how it is. I was overthinking it. Please forgive me." Yakov immediately took the opportunity to back down.

He just expressed his dissatisfaction slightly to facilitate the subsequent conversation.

After all, if you're not tough.

It was easy for Xia Guo to see that their attitude this time was wrong.

Li Mu waved his hand and said with a smile:
"It is I who should apologize to you for making your country's expert team wait for so long."

“I heard that many leading experts in computer science, electronic engineering, and aerospace are here this time.”

"It seems that you attach great importance to mechanical dogs and space-based engineering."

In just a few words, he revealed what Yakov wanted to hide.

This in itself is not difficult to guess.

After all, the fact that Big Brother sent a team of experts here twice is itself a statement of attitude.

Yakov looked a little embarrassed, but soon recovered and said:

"Our superiors do attach great importance to robot dogs and space-based engineering, but many experts and professors are skeptical."

"After all, technically speaking."

"Neither your country, nor we, nor even Emperor M, currently have the possibility to complete them."

He talked.

Suddenly I felt that this was a bit strange.

Since when could Xia Kingdom be compared with them and Emperor M!

"You are too kind. If we want to complete the research and development, I am afraid that even the scholars in our country may not be sure." Li Mu said with a smile.

Hear this.

Yakov showed a slightly surprised expression. He didn't expect Li Mu to say it so straightforwardly.

Logically speaking.

Regardless of whether it can be developed or not, at least we should not deny that Xia Guo cannot do it.

After all, they still have to negotiate.

It seemed that he saw Yakov's doubt.

Li Mu continued:
"In my opinion, in the case of insufficient hardware conditions, cooperating with you, Big Brother, in research is the best choice."

"What we need is development and time."

"So personally, I still hope to promote this cooperation. We both get what we need, don't you think?"

Hearing his words, Yakov smiled and said:
"Yes, each one takes what he needs!"

Li Mu's words are still very important to them.

After all, Xia Country is willing to cooperate.

There is still some uncertainty at the top.

If during the negotiations here, Xia Guo turns around and cooperates with Emperor M, they will be in trouble.

——Don’t think that this is not possible.

From a geopolitical perspective, no powerful country can sit idly by and watch another powerful country emerge around them.

"Then when are you free to meet with Professor Ivan and others?" Yakov continued.

Li Mu thought for a moment and said:
"Just tomorrow."

"Okay, then we'll be waiting for you at the State Guesthouse!" Yakov said happily.

……

After getting the news you wanted.

Yakov left happily.

Looking at his back.

Qiao Guanghua couldn't help but feel a little worried:

"Advisor Li, isn't it a bit inappropriate to reveal our bottom line now?"

Let Big Brother know that they urgently need to reach a cooperation.

It will definitely have an impact on the final negotiation results.

"Maybe there are some, but at least Big Brother is now very confident that we really have mechanical dogs and space-based projects." Li Mu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Qiao Guanghua suddenly understood.

After Li Mu said this.

Big Brother's attention will most likely shift from examining the authenticity of the project to how to gain greater benefits in negotiations.

Invisibly, it makes them believe what they say more.

As for the lost profits?
It's basically a matter of making money out of nothing, so you'll make money no matter what you do, the only difference is how much you make.

"It's you, Consultant Li, who grasped the key points right away!" Qiao Guanghua praised sincerely.

Li Mu waved his hand and said with a smile:
"It's just that a bystander sees more clearly. It's not worth mentioning. By the way, how is the invitation of foreign scholars to the Star Awards going?"

"This...is not ideal." Qiao Guanghua said with a little embarrassment.

From the time the news of the Star Awards was published in the newspaper to now.

Xia Guo evaluated the academic achievements of foreign scientists during the year and sent letters notifying the winners through various channels.

However, there are no exceptions.

No response was received from any of the scientists.

The media in Western countries even openly ridiculed it, saying:

"Backward Xia Country is also qualified to host a world-class scientific award? This is the funniest joke I have seen today!"

There are many news headlines like this.

Li Mu frowned slightly and said:

"After the news of the space-based project was released, there is no news at all?"

His original idea was to attract foreign scientists through space-based projects.

Now it seems that the effect is not good.

"No, there are even people criticizing us, saying that we are researching this kind of weapon in order to enslave the world." Qiao Guanghua spread his hands.

Li Mu was amused by these words.

And enslave the world.

There is no joke funnier than this in this day and age.

Under the truth of the nuclear destruction of all life, it would be better for us all to perish together.

He said helplessly:

"As for the idea above, we can't just sit there and wait, the awards will be presented in July this year."

It's mid-February now.

It sounds like there's still half a year left.

But if you think about it, there aren't many.

After all, awarding takes time.

It is impossible for Xiaguo to give awards to anyone just because of their fame.

A strict review process must be carried out.

Otherwise, if a Western country produces a counterfeit product, it would become a joke if they awarded the award.

"The higher-ups plan to first contact countries that have diplomatic ties with us, so that at least the first Star Awards will not be attended by only our own people," said Qiao Guanghua.

When no one from the Western world was going to come.

This is already the best way.

Although it may still cause laughter, it is still acceptable on the surface.

Li Mu frowned even deeper, not satisfied, and said:

"This is only a temporary solution. We will have to deal with it in the future, and the situation may be even worse. It is best to solve it now."

Since there was no one in the first session, it will be even more difficult to get more people to come later.

In the end, they will probably just have to entertain themselves.

This runs counter to Li Mu's idea of ​​competing for the Nobel Prize.

……

Farewell to Qiao Guanghua.

Li Mu was sitting in the car.

He spoke to Guan Jianmin and asked him to drive the car to the Railway Technology Research Institute.

He closed his eyes and began to think.

It is actually not difficult to attract experts from the Western world.

Just an academic achievement that shocks the world.

But the space-based kinetic weapons and mechanical dogs he had prepared obviously did not achieve the desired effect.

Think about it too.

Based on the Western countries' impression of them, it is impossible to think that they can do it.

"I need to change it, but the others can't be taken out at all, and I can't take them out!" Li Mu had a slight headache.
