Chapter 1187: Typical Characters

In addition, Duan Yun's trip abroad this time has also attracted the attention of many domestic media.

In fact, all along, the major domestic media have not paid enough attention to the previous World Mathematicians Congress, the main reason is that the level of Chinese mathematics research compared with the developed countries in Europe and the United States is huge, even if it is a top domestic university like Beijing University and Huaqing, there are not many people invited to participate in such a world-class mathematics conference in history, even if there is, they all play a supporting role, since the Chinese people can't sing pig's feet, the domestic news media will naturally not pay attention, and even the relevant short message reports are rare.

What is different this time is that since Duan Yun cracked the Hodge conjecture a few years ago, and then ICM announced that Duan Yun was an invited guest, many domestic media have begun to pay attention to this year's World Congress of Mathematicians, and even top domestic media and newspapers, including CCTV, have contacted Duan Yun in advance to discuss and do several interview programs.

Since the Fields Medal will not be officially announced until the opening ceremony of the World Congress of Mathematicians, the relevant program recording will only be held after Duan Yun returns to China.

However, this time, CCTV has filmed a program recording team in advance, and it has already set off to arrive at the main venue of ICM in London, England two days ago, to carry out preliminary preparations, and it is expected that Duan Yun will be filmed and interviewed at the British venue, and then after editing, it will be spliced together with the interview program after Duan Yun returns to China in the later stage to make a complete interview program.

This time, CCTV took the initiative to record Duan Yun's interview program, which can be said to be very rare, scientists who have had this kind of treatment before, in addition to a few heroes of the two bombs and one star of the year, followed by Yuan Longping, who let hundreds of millions of people have food, and Hua Luogeng and Chen Jingrun, who appeared in primary and secondary school textbooks, these are undoubtedly not well-known academic heroes in China!

Strictly speaking, Duan Yun's contribution to the country is far less than that of these people, although he caused a sensation in the world by successfully cracking the Hodge conjecture, but whether it is fame or heritage, there is a huge difference between him and those meritorious celebrities in China.

It stands to reason that Duan Yun is not qualified enough for CCTV to attach so much importance to him, but as the so-called times create heroes, because the country's high-level officials now attach great importance to scientific research and write the slogan of 'rejuvenating the country through science and education' into the outline of the country's long-term development, so as the country's highest media unit, CCTV must also match the instructions of the superiors to make relevant publicity.

However, due to the current Hua Luogeng, Chen Jingrun and other scientists are too famous, there is no longer the value of repeated publicity, the most critical point is that these old scientists have become famous for a relatively long time, and their research success and support have nothing to do with the current senior national leaders, if the deeds of these old scientists who are re-filmed and produced by them again, even if the wisdom of the national leaders will be mentioned, it is only the achievements of the leaders of that era, and the current national policy has little to do with it, which is obviously contrary to the real intentions of CCTV executives with a keen sense of politics。

But Duan Yun is different, his fame and rise is what happened in the last six months, almost exactly the same time as the country's high-level put forward the slogan of 'rejuvenating the country through science and education', although Duan Yun's academic achievements are few, but the gold content is surprisingly high, cracking the Hodge conjecture is enough to make Duan Yun go down in the history of mathematics in the world, which is very sensational.

In addition, Duan Yun has the energy to see righteousness and courage, and his image is very positive, which can be called a model and example for Chinese youth, which is also in line with the outlook on life and values promoted by CCTV.

It is precisely because of the above two items that this time CCTV broke the previous convention and wanted to use Duan Yun as a model for long-term positive publicity, which also played into Duan Yun's hands, so when CCTV sent someone to discuss with Duan Yun to shoot his documentary, Duan Yun agreed almost without hesitation.

It is estimated that after arriving in the UK this time, the CCTV crew will contact him as soon as possible and conduct an interview at the British conference.

And just when Duan Yun was thinking about his daily arrangements in the UK, his email sent out a prompt to receive a new email, and the sender was actually ICM!

Duan Yun was stunned for a moment when he saw this new email, and clicked on it with his mouse at any time.

Sure enough, the new email was indeed sent by the ICM organizer, and Duan Yun was stunned after reading the content roughly.

It turned out that the content of this email was that ICM had temporarily decided to invite Duan Yun to give two one-hour presentations at the group venue, and the letter indicated that Duan Yun wanted to explain his two academic papers, the Hodge conjecture and the Riemann conjecture, respectively!

This honor is a unique precedent in the history of the World Congress of Mathematicians, and its gold content is even far higher than winning the Fields Medal!

Because there are several award-winning mathematicians at each World Congress of Mathematicians, and so far only one scientist can be invited to get two one-hour presentations!

In addition to this notice, the entire email is also full of praise for Duan Yun's talent and academic achievements, which should be an extremely rare praise in ICM's official email.

It stands to reason that even if a mathematician has achieved more success in mathematics in the past few years, he will only be invited to give a one-hour lecture at most, and Duan Yun's situation is a special case.

It is estimated that the ICM organizers also feel that whether it is the cracking of the Hodge conjecture or the Riemann conjecture, taking out one of them can be called a milestone breakthrough in the global mathematical community in recent decades, and it is almost impossible to explain these two papers at the same time in just one hour, and the value of these two papers is very important, obviously far beyond the academic papers of other mathematicians, so it was temporarily decided to let Duan Yun make two separate reports, and only in this way can Duan Yun's two sensational academic achievements be completely displayed in the world。

The two one-hour presentations were invited, which shows how much ICM values their papers this time.

This is a treatment that is unique in the world of mathematics!

If nothing else, the news of Duan Yun's participation in the World Congress of Mathematicians should cause a huge sensation in the global media.

While Duan Yun was staring at the screen in a daze, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he took it out, he found that it was Tang Yan who called him.

may be due to Tang Yan's nervous filming during this time, so now they basically call every two or three days, but the relationship between the two is still very stable.

In addition, after Duan Yun participates in the World Congress of Mathematicians this time, he will discuss with Tang Yan about buying a house, but it depends on the specific situation of Yan Kai giving him a house.

Of course, Tang Yan still doesn't know about the Kyoto City Government's assignment of a house to Duan Yun, and Duan Yun will lead him to the vicinity of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to see the house at that time.
