Chinese entertainment for engineering students

The visit was very pleasant. In fact, Wang Xu's style was more in line with the habits of guests from the Chou Kingdom. They did not have the mentality that visitors are guests.

In fact, if you stay in the West for a long time, you will know that most of them have really simple thoughts, not so many twists and turns, simple and direct living habits, and even polite greetings are learned skills. There is no such thing as A passion that comes from the heart.

Receiving guests is extremely simple. There is no thought of being a guest from afar, and I don't know how to provide the best things to entertain guests. Being able to take care of the food is a high standard.

The core ideas of Westerners actually come from pirate ideas, such as the famous voting system, which is also called a democratic system.

Even the nomadic horse bandits don't need this, because the nomadic bandits each rob each other, and there is no need to divide the labor at all. They only need to notify the time and act together. There is no idea of ​​dividing the spoils.

Navigation requires cooperation. Even if the original captain dies on a ship and you are in the middle of nowhere at sea, you have to quickly elect a new leader, so elections arise at the historic moment.

Therefore, democracy was first used by pirates to divide the spoils. Several groups of pirates gathered together and let's rob a big ship. How to act and how to divide the spoils requires a charter in advance.

After all, with so many ships, there must be a division of labor. Who is responsible for fighting, who is responsible for looking out, and who is responsible for moving things. This kind of collaboration is much more troublesome than robbery by horse bandits. You even have to drive other people's ships back, so It's not a trophy either.

So, that charter has become necessary, but we don’t trust each other, so what should we do? It's easy to do, vote, first choose a big leader, and then fight together, and finally distribute it according to the amount of effort. These must be written down before everyone presses their thumbprints. This thing is the contract.

Therefore, contracts are also the product of pirates, not the legendary trade. The earliest trade was barter, without even money. Later, it was cash transactions, with one hand paying the money and the other hand delivering the goods. Why do you need a contract? At that time, there was no such thing as warranty, and transactions were cleared in person.

Therefore, early trade could not produce the so-called contract, let alone the spirit of contract.

That will only happen after sufficient capital is accumulated. Early trade has no need for contracts.

Therefore, democracy, voting, and the spirit of contract are actually used by pirates to divide the spoils and have nothing to do with farming or trade.

Later, when this group of pirates became prosperous and entered the city, they found that the hereditary method of the nobles was not working. We could not get any benefits, and the benefits were all taken by the nobles.

What to do, just vote, first choose a big leader, then attack the nobles together, and then share the money with everyone.

Later, their descendants began to have culture. No matter where they learned it, they had to find a decent origin for their voting method.

Okay, ancestor Ya, you are affected, and this belongs to you, and it is called: democracy.

Well, that's probably what it means. Moreover, relying on ancient times to create texts is a phenomenon that often occurs in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

For example, China's doubts about the Shangshu and the Apocrypha lasted for thousands of years, and finally the doubts became false, and finally the "Shangshu", one of the four books, was devalued from the altar.

Later, when the descendants of those people took over the whole world, they had to clear their names. I can't say that my ancestors were all pirates. That would be too shameful.

Our ancestors have also been generous, and we must be generous. It must be inherited from ancient civilizations, thousands of years old, and it must be unparalleled in the world. So they created a marine civilization and boasted that they were more adventurous.

Think about it, even nomadism cannot produce a civilization in the true sense. It can only be learned bit by bit by stealing things from farming civilization. What can fishing and hunting, which is more unstable than nomadicism, produce?

Is it possible to create a nation and an empire whose survival depends entirely on trade? Don't be ridiculous, with the shipbuilding technology of that era and the navigation technology that didn't even have a compass, if the wind got stronger, it would be a direct annihilation.

Not to mention that time, even now, if foreign trade accounts for too much of a country's GDP, it is a very dangerous thing. Look at Vietnam after the epidemic. At one time, trade accounted for 90%, and then demand dropped. Click, it collapsed all of a sudden.

In ancient times, four thousand years ago, you traded olive oil for grain? Why is your olive oil so precious? It’s okay to exchange it for a little bit, but it’s funny to exchange half the country’s grain for it.

Farming is the way for human beings to truly enter civilization. Only with farming can we truly settle down, obtain food stably, continue our family lineage stably, accumulate surplus, and have leisure and time to engage in spiritual things.

With farming, you will have real assets, that is, land, and you will need force to protect your wealth, and you will need a more complex social structure to resist foreign enemies and acquire new land.

This is even a fact widely recognized by Western historians, but they just give you a maritime civilization and tell you that it is more advanced, and you have no place to find anyone to reason with.

In the 1980s, Wang Xu knew how much trouble this thing caused. How many people sincerely recognized that marine civilization was more advanced than mainland civilization. Going blue was not the dream of the navy at that time, but the dream of countless elites. The dream of the class.

However, these are just a little bit of duckweed in history. Time is long. Compared with the West, China has a really solid foundation. It has been tortured by various powers around the world for more than a hundred years, and it is still a "boy" when it comes back.

Wang Xu is not a believer in Western pseudo-history, nor is he an expert in history. He has not even read many of their history books.

However, even if it is just a scratch, if you take a quick look at it, you can feel that there are flaws everywhere, well, flaws, not even doubts.

It doesn't have the awe-inspiring feeling of being as rigorous as a work of art when reading Western scientific enlightenment books.

Therefore, Wang Xu's attitude towards the West is even more indifferent than that of ordinary time travellers. It is a kind of self-confidence based on his own strong ability and determination for the future. It is flamboyant and surging, but he cannot make others feel the same.

He is doing so much here, but in fact he is just adding some chips to his country and adding a little confidence to his nation. It may still take twenty or thirty years, but even if some results are produced in advance, it will make the people happy. Pretty good, isn't it?

Like a big leader, Wang Xu took a large group of accompanying people to take a casual look at the still barren land, and then briefly introduced his plans. How about this being a future film and television shooting base? How.

Listening to Wang Xu's confident introduction, and the translator quickly translating Wang Xu's grand blueprint for him, Robert Shaye had to further revise his opinion on this collaborator.

At first, when he saw the first part of the sample, he didn't pay much attention to Wang Xu's appearance. He only felt that although the male and female protagonists were not well-known actors, their acting skills were remarkable and their images matched very well, but this was just superficial.

As a mature producer, Robert Shaye saw a young director who was passionate and full of fantasy. He was imaginative and had wild ideas, but he also had a steady and solid camera skills. It can be said that he is a rare person. Young director.

And when he came to the imperial capital, he saw Wang Xu for the first time. He was tall, beautiful, fair-skinned, elegant in movement, and full of artistic flair. It gave him the urge to bend just looking at him.

Especially after visiting the exhibition of Wang Xu's paintings and photography, he felt that Wang Xu was an artist who was too young, but talented and had outstanding appearance. His artistry was really hard to hide.

Later, accompanied by Wang Xu, I briefly visited Wang Xu's studio and saw his futuristic layout and a computer team of up to 100 people.

He feels that Wang Xu is not only a producer and director with ideas and achievements, but also a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who is extremely familiar with technology and has a clear grasp of the future.

Now, when he watched Wang Xu in a wasteland, pointing out the country and scolding Fang Qiu, he felt that he was really fascinated, and he even felt like watching an idol.

That kind of calmness and confidence from the heart, which is completely different from the daily friendly and lazy look, let Robert Shaye know that this collaborator is unusual and he must change his original strategy. This is an excellent collaborator who can cooperate for a long time.

Of course Wang Xu didn't know about Robert Shaye's psychological changes. Robert Shaye was not just a guest during this visit. Didn't you see a large convoy of people?

The four major directors are all there, and the three districts and counties of Imperial Capital Chaoyang, Haidian, and Changping have sent people to participate. The same is true for Shuimu, Imperial Film, and Imperial Film Factory. Even most of their subordinate studios will come to join in the fun.

Young people, old people, people who come to learn from the experience, people who come to study, people who come to enjoy the autumn breeze, people who come to discuss, although their purposes are different, they are all people who are of great help to Wang Xu.

Wang Xu took everyone to visit his cultural industry this time. In fact, he also meant to show off to everyone, um, or report.

That is, you see, I am not messing around. The things here are very good. Even if it is a piece of wasteland, I will make a lot of work for you. If you have money, just invest it and if someone gives it to you, I can take it.

Except for the factory at 798, Wang Xu’s other entertainment-related industries were all within the scope of today’s visit.

Even after Tang Yun finished building the office building, Wang Xu took everyone to visit the newly opened Wang Chao store on the opposite street.

This store is a branch, and it is more luxuriously decorated than the previous one, but it only sells ready-made clothes and does not have customized services. It has already established a reputation there, and it is difficult to change places.

Robert Shaye even bought a few sets of clothes, saying that he would take them back to his wife. Wang Xu gave two more sets as gifts.

Wang Xu is proud, but he will not delay normal human relations. Wang Xu always gives people a sense of approachability, but also a sense of alienation that cannot be approached. Except for a few friends around him, Wang Xu has always had a good sense of boundaries.

Arrogance is okay, but arrogance is stupidity. There is actually an essential difference between the two. The essence of arrogance is actually humility, a clear understanding of oneself, while arrogance is the complete opposite.

Robert Shaye knew that he was not the only guest, which made him feel that today's visit was particularly relaxing. After he finished the visit and moved around freely, he asked Wang Xu to find a guide for him, and then carefully visited the movie theater prepared for the movie. Those two future urban streets.

I even took out my camera to take pictures everywhere, and went in to look at every door. I even spent a long time studying how the floor was made. Wang Xu ignored him. This man was obviously in working mode, which showed that he took the production profession very seriously.

This is not a person who just improvises. No wonder he was able to organize a super production like "Lord of the Rings" later.

Apart from anything else, in terms of the scale of the filming of "The Lord of the Rings", the organization of the special effects team, the coordination of multiple locations, and the speed at which the film was produced in just over a year, it can only be said that this producer is very powerful.

Come on, Wang Xu knows that the investment and producer are stable. In fact, Wang Xu really lacks a producer here.

He hasn't worked with a producer yet, and now he works with Wang Jinghua based on his feelings, and his plans for doing things are quite different, not to mention that he still has a lot of energy wasted on research and development of various topics.

And Xu Ke came not so much to be a producer as to think about his next film, and often invited technicians to discuss the special effects of classical fairy tales.

Han Sanjue was a hands-off shopkeeper who didn't even come. He had officially taken up the post and still had to study, so he had no time at all. The Imperial Film Factory only invested a little money in the name of the company.

He just didn't bother to come. A name was enough, and he just needed a name.

Wang Jinghua, on the other hand, is a dabbler and has to learn everything again. Moreover, in the future, Wang Jinghua's path will not be a film production, but an entertainment tycoon, and she doesn't really want to spend too much energy here.

As a result, one monk carried water to eat, two monks carried water to eat, and three monks had no water to eat. No one on Wang Xu's side was in charge of the production, and most of the things were left to Wang Xu himself.

The main problem is talent. There are no people here who have made such a large-scale film. Although the investment is from three parties, everyone knows that Wang Xu is in charge. If he can't get the leadership, why waste the effort?

Therefore, Jiahe, who has a little experience in large-scale productions, has a mentality of waiting for a good show. Otherwise, why would Mr. Zou send Xu Ke as a producer? His wife has more production experience than him.

But don’t worry this time. Robert Shaye is here. This man is very interesting. Although he is the boss and CEO of New Line, he often leaves his job in the company to work as a producer. I even had the experience of not seeing him for a month.

Wang Jinghua arranged an assistant for Robert Shaye, named Zhang Dajun, who was from Imperial City. He was two years older than Wang Xu and had not yet graduated. Wang Jinghua recruited him in advance.

He is currently in the Imperial Film Photography Department, Zhang Yimou's junior fellow student, and is a senior this year.

It was Han Sanjue who arranged for him to come here as an intern at first. Wang Jinghua saw that his English was good, so this time Robert Shaye came over, so she roped him in to act as an assistant.

Then he easily recruited this person, and it was agreed that he would join the studio after graduation and officially become a professional producer.
