Chinese entertainment for engineering students

"Hey, isn't this the second brother Wang? Come and see the art exhibition too. Hello, sister Fei." Leng Jun finally stopped looking stern and saw Wang Xu and Wang Fei walking around in the art exhibition from a distance. He ran over to say hello to Wang Xu.

Wang Xu greeted him with a smile and exchanged a few words, but he didn't expect that he would come to see such a semi-professional, semi-amateur painting exhibition.

Leng Jun no longer lives in the small courtyard. He rented a house in the suburbs of the imperial capital and concentrated on painting.

As for Second Brother and Sister Fei, these are the standard names for people who have lived in the courtyard. Regardless of their age, it is considered a favor, and this kind of favor is quite long-lasting.

These people always come back to visit the small courtyard from time to time, and sometimes those who have lived in the small courtyard become good friends with each other and have contact with each other.

After being busy for a long time, Wang Xu rarely rested for two days, and then he took Wang Fei out for shopping. Didn't he just stroll to the art museum? This place is only a few stops away from where Wang Xu lives. Wang Xu comes to see art exhibitions from time to time.

The art exhibition here today has something to do with Wang Xu. It is an exhibition of award-winning works from the annual College Students Science and Technology Art Festival. It usually displays award-winning works from previous years.

There are not only oil paintings, but also acrylic paintings, sketches, sketches, Chinese splash ink paintings, fine brushwork, even graffiti spray paints, and many more.

In addition, there are many types of modern sculptures, traditional arts, etc. Fortunately, each item is only awarded a gold medal, otherwise I would really be afraid that this small exhibition hall would not be able to accommodate it.

Recently, the new phase of the College Student Science and Technology Art Festival is being held in full swing. It is still divided into two parts, the Science and Technology Festival and the Art Festival.

Last year's Science and Technology Festival was too hastily prepared and didn't make much noise, but this year it's not the case. Not only are there a lot of prizes, but the key is that this event is related to more and more things.

For example, regarding the ranking of colleges and universities, at the end of last year, the Ministry of Education and the Science and Technology Commission published a draft for comments on the evaluation of the level of colleges and universities. This draft clarified the points occupied by various awards and competitions.

In recent years, colleges and universities can be said to be short of funds and talents. If they want to improve their rankings, it is too difficult to improve the core indicators. At this time, there is naturally a market for competitions that can significantly improve their reputation.

Wang Xu also participated in an opinion discussion meeting and put forward some of his own opinions and views, but most of them were general remarks. The core opinions were similar to his. So much so that when he saw the draft opinion, he thought the drafter had also traveled through time.

Therefore, this year almost all colleges and universities began to pay attention to this Science and Technology Art Festival, and the Magic City also applied for the next one to be held by the Magic City.

The organizing committee is still organized by the universities in the imperial capital, and the devil's desire to seize classes and seize power is just like Sima Zhao's.

Of course, in Wang Xu's view, this is a good thing. This shows that this science and technology art festival has a tendency to develop into a truly national event, and his butterfly has once again stirred up a tornado.

In this year's Rubber Band Aircraft Competition, the team from the Imperial Aviation Academy created a magical record.

Well, the Imperial Aviation Academy team is still led by Zhang He. Their results last year were actually not bad. They were first in one category and second in another. They can't be said to be bad in any case.

However, as a long-established aviation institute, it has an advantage in competing with ordinary colleges and universities. This year, he came with 100% confidence to win again, not only to win again, but also to win all the awards.

A rubber-band airplane they made out of balsa wood and plastic wrap flew in the stadium for a full twenty minutes, five times higher than the previous year's record.

This competition was proposed by Wang Xu. In this era, the technical equipment of various colleges and universities are still in the period of upgrading, and the development levels of each school vary greatly.

Therefore, both science and technology festivals can only use simple materials to conduct various competitions. For example, the rubber band airplane uses a medical rubber tube as the power source. This is the only designated material in this competition.

The other parts were chosen by the participating teams from each school, which shows the huge difference in students' knowledge. Paper and foam plastics were the most used, but only one student from the Aviation Academy thought of plastic wrap.

This thing was not popular in China in the 1990s, and ordinary people had never seen it, neither students nor instructors.

This student has been to Xiangjiang and seen this kind of household item that has just begun to become popular internationally at a relative's house. He was thinking of last year's failure in the Rubber Band Plane. Last year's championship was won by Northwestern Polytechnical University.

The plane they made out of foam plastic flew in the sky for nearly five minutes before landing. It stayed in the air for an unknown amount of time longer than other teams in seconds, and they became the undisputed champions.

This classmate brought back several rolls of the thinnest plastic wrap available from Xiangjiang, which became his secret weapon. This is a plastic film with a thickness of only 10 microns.

Their team redesigned the frame and huge propellers of this aircraft using balsa wood, and finally completed the manufacturing of this aircraft.

If you don't count the rubber band used as a power source, the plane weighs only 3 grams, which is about the same as 3 cigarettes or 5 soybeans.

The weight is mainly due to the weight of the light wood frame. This time the skin material has been exposed. It is estimated that this special material will be chosen next time.

I don’t know what kind of answers these talents in the aviation field can give when the materials are similar. This is what Wang Xu is looking forward to.

It's a pity that the next aviation competition type should be proposed by the champion unit this time. Wang Xu basically doesn't know how to make any suggestions.

The record is astonishing, but the Imperial Aviation Academy still has not accomplished their goals. Last year, they narrowly defeated the Northwest Aviation Academy in another battery-aircraft distance battle, but this time they were defeated by China Southern Airlines' whims.

It can be said that China Southern Airlines is a bit cheating. Their aircraft does not have any control system at all, let alone a remote control. There is not even a pull cord. It can only fly in a fixed circle route and cannot be affected by too much wind.

But it was such an extremely simple aircraft that led the second-place Northwest Aviation Institute for three full laps before the battery finally ran out.

But in Wang Xu's opinion, this is simply a wonderful design. It is a model of streamlined design that makes full use of rules, and it really cannot be considered a swindle.

No matter what, Wang Xu saw the vitality and imagination of college students in this era. The conditions were simple, but the results were extremely wonderful.

However, in future competitions, various rules will be fine-tuned each time. Given the limited funds of major universities, the simple, fun and cheap competition idea may still be continued.

But in the not-too-distant future, it’s not impossible to imagine robot competitions or rocket competitions. Money, China will have money in the future.

Who could have imagined that just over twenty years later, China's student aviation competition would have more than a dozen competition subjects, with hundreds of schools actively participating, and the drones in it would even be able to accurately drop bombs.

Wang Xu paid a little attention to the progress of the science and technology competition, then gave up and took Wang Fei to watch a movie. This time the film competition is still called the College Student Film Festival, which is only one year earlier than the previous college student film festival, but the preparatory unit is still It's Communication University.

Why is it not a film school? Who said it was a film school last year? It was agreed to take turns. Last year, your film school was close to the water and organized a film festival. This year, Huaxia Media naturally stopped working. In fact, Huaxi also wanted to compete for it, but Who allowed them to still undertake the drama festival?

However, it is estimated that this event will be held in Shanghai next year. After all, there must be a bowl of water in Shanghai. Shanghai is currently engaged in the development of Pudong, and various reforms are in full swing. It would be a great addition to hold a college student event. thing.

However, for now, only the cities of Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, Jinling, Rongcheng and Chang'an are capable of hosting such a complex comprehensive event. In other places, there may not be so many universities.

But this is not what Wang Xu needs to worry about. It has always been his style to dig holes but not bury them. With so many universities focusing on such a major event, the probability of him being cheated is probably not high.

In fact, what the competition fears most is a kind of solidification. The same group of people keep doing it again and again, and it is inevitable that it will eventually become a world of favors. But for something as large as the University Student Science and Art Festival, it’s actually very difficult.

Just like sports events such as the National Games, they are the easiest to achieve fairness among all events. Even if it is unfair once, in the long run, this kind of event that constantly changes the organizer is obviously more fair.

Compared with other events, the film festival should be said to be a larger event. After all, anyone can watch movies and everyone can evaluate them, even in the early 1990s.

For three months in a row, the movies that are shown on a loop in the auditoriums or lawns of various universities can be said to be the favorites of college students. In addition to student works, there are also professional competitions. This is no different from a real film festival. .

In the professional group, professional film studios and even overseas film companies are allowed to submit films for exhibition and broadcast. When it was held at the beginning of last year, no film studios responded, so the organizing committee simply contacted China Film and directly transferred a batch of copies of films that had been released that year, and treated them as Cultural condolences.

Professional judges also judged various common awards for these films that have been released. The trophy is designed by Gongmei and is in the shape of a simple phoenix, so it is also called the Golden Phoenix Award.

Of course, there are also awards voted by college students. There are four student choice awards for best film, best actor and actress, and best director. These awards are not so authoritative, but they represent the aesthetics of college students in this era, so they are quite popular. Point to meaning.

The trophy was also designed by the Yizhou Academy of Fine Arts. It is shaped like a silly panda, a bit cartoony.

The shapes of these trophies were also chosen through selection. It can be said that the organizers of the previous edition took great pains to put everything on display. Even the trophies for each competition were voted for by everyone.

After all kinds of hasty but unreasonable operations, no one expected that the film festival would be a great success. At the end of the year award ceremony, not only all the award-winners attended, but also many celebrities and big-name celebrities were present, and even some Several Hong Kong movie stars came to support the event, making it a star-studded event.

Well, of course Wang Xu's handiwork was involved. At that time, Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang were undergoing intensive treatment in the imperial capital, so he pulled them together to support the scene. Who made him the instigator?

Wang Xu even took Wang Fei to sing and cheer for the film festival. At that time, Wang Fei was still busy in Xiangjiang. He called her back with a phone call and sang a song. After a night of lingering with Wang Xu, He hurriedly left again.

It can be said that Wang Xu used all his strength at that time, but the effect of this operation was only temporary.

Not only did Imperial TV make a video, but even Huaxia TV sent professional reporters to interview, and other entertainment newspapers and magazines were almost absent. It can be said that the event was unprecedented.

In this way, the door to the third largest film award in China was slowly but firmly opened by Wang Xu.

This operation was of course Wang Xu's intention. The Science and Technology Art Festival does not award awards uniformly. The competition events of the Science and Technology Festival are basically like sports games. Awards are given out on the spot after the competition.

As for art festivals, they are usually voted by professionals and audiences after a period of exhibition and screening. This will cause a certain delay, so various awards are held at the end of the year.

At that time, Wang Xu took Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang to have a good time and let the two relax for a while.

After all, these competitions are not that utilitarian. Most of them are only attended by students or students who have just graduated within three years. It can be said that they are full of youthful atmosphere.

With the successful cases of the first session, the second session has improved a lot on the basis of familiarity. The organizing committee has also changed from a purely non-governmental organization at the beginning to a semi-private and semi-official nature.

This is a model with Chinese characteristics. If it is too official, it will inevitably appear too formal. If it is too folk, it will be difficult to control and it will easily cause trouble.

Therefore, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Education jointly took the lead in establishing a management office. This is a temporary agency, and it is only responsible for supervision, not real management.

The municipal government of the host city will work with the organizing committee to operate and manage the entire event. This is also a semi-official and semi-private approach. Reform is a matter of feeling the stones to cross the river.

For such a technological and cultural event, the Imperial City Government still attached great importance to it. Not only did it set up an office to be responsible for the operation, it also coordinated some exhibition venues and even stadiums for competitions.

The whole three months can be said to be a festival for college students. Even if you don't participate in the competition, you can still participate in countless cultural activities. Various colleges and universities take this opportunity to launch school-level competitions one after another.

After the first experience, colleges and universities have finally understood that these things are a good way to attract students and improve the quality of enrollment. Moreover, these things are not sensitive and will not be reviewed frequently, so they should be strongly promoted.

It's much better than them going out to cause trouble when they have nothing to do. It also diverts attention and wastes students' energy. These activities are not beneficial to the body and mind.
