In any case, Bohr leaned towards the theory of matter waves, which was good news for Li Kangping.

Bohr had a serious face, and even when he smiled, he smiled solemnly: "There are all kinds of young people in my institute, and some of them have academic ideas that are opposed to mine, but we can still get along. Dr. Lee, I tell you with 100% certainty that the Copenhagen Institute is the most open institute in the world, where young people have absolute freedom, academic freedom, freedom in life, freedom in religion, everything you can imagine. The most important thing is the collision of ideas, they came to Copenhagen with different academic ideas, and they collided with dazzling sparks. Since you don't have any position at any academic institution in the United States, why not come to Copenhagen? ”

Li Kangping explained: "I have an academic position in the United States, and I am the director of Zeus Laboratory. ”

"Please, can that lab of yours be considered an academic institution? That's nothing more than a workshop where machines are made. Bohr put it bluntly, "I've asked some people, and they've said you're the president of a company that invented a machine like a television. I know you're busy with business, but I still hope you come to Copenhagen for a few months or a year or two. I really want you to be the next Einstein, not the next Marconi. ”

"Mr. Bohr, I think the Copenhagen Institute is one of the best institutes in the world, and you are one of the greatest physicists in the world. I believe that, as you said, the Copenhagen Institute is a paradise for young people with absolute freedom and coherent academic thinking. If I had the chance, I would definitely visit you in Copenhagen, but not now, okay? ”

"Oh, stubborn young man."

"I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Bohr."

Li Kangping could feel that Bohr really wanted him to go to Copenhagen for a collision.

Politely rejecting Bohr's kindness, Li Kangping drank a glass of champagne and put the empty champagne glass on the long table, and he was ready to withdraw.

"What a high evaluation of the outstanding representatives of the younger generation of physicists." At the other end of the long table, a woman said.

The lady's golden-brown hair was high and coiled, she was slender, unpowdered, dressed in a yellow dress, without jewelry and accessories, and with flowers pinned to her waist.

Her outfit is simple and simple among upper-class women? Li Kangping recognized her: "Miss Rockefeller? Long time no see. ”

"Mr. Bohr mentions two physicists, one is Arthur Compton? The other one is you? It seems that the two of you are different from the others. I don't know Arthur Compton, I only know you. "Laura Rockefeller stretched out her right hand? Make a gesture to invite you to dance.

Li Kangping walked around the long table to Laura Rockefeller at the other end, and he took her hand and entered the dance floor.

"Miss Rockefeller......"

"Call me Laura."

"Laura? Did I call you once? It was a woman who answered and she said you would call back, but I didn't get your call. ”

"What's the matter with calling me?"

"I want to ask you to play mahjong."

"I said I wouldn't play mahjong with you again."

"Okay? Don't play mahjong. And Laura? Why are you here? ”

"Actually, people like us who don't understand physics should be more here, because Mr. Bohr doesn't talk too much about esoteric physical theories, he talks about simple things that ordinary people can understand."

"Mr. Kingston is in charge of the medical program, so Laura, you are in charge of the physics program?"

"I told you, I don't understand physics? I'm just here to meet the most famous physicists in the world. ”

"The most famous physicist has only received a $100,000 grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. I thought it should be at least $1 million. ”

"Are physicists fantasies like that?"

After a dance dance, Laura said to Li Kangping: "I don't understand physics? But I know that young physicists who are valued by the most famous physicists must not be ordinary. So shall it, Dr. Lee? I'm glad you asked me to dance. ”

Anyway, Laura with the gentleman who handed out the $100,000 check from the Rockefeller Foundation? Pleasant conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Bohr.

Li Kangping translated the German version of "Matter Wave" after returning home? Allen translates the German version of the experimental paper on low-energy/high-energy electron diffraction in his apartment.

How important is academic translation? While Li Kangping was doing academic work, eight Walt Disney Studios cartoons were screened for a week in several major cities, including New York and Chicago.

Li Kangping took time to go to the movie theater in New York to watch two Walt Disney studio cartoons.

This screening room was rented by Walt Disney Studios, and the first time Li Kangping saw it was on the first day, and he counted it, counting him and Roy Disney, there were only nine people in the entire screening room.

The second show Li Kangping watched was on the seventh day, when the situation changed, and the dozens of seats in the screening room were all filled.

The audience laughed constantly, especially when Alice's two films were shown, and the audience laughed at its highest level.

As Roy Disney predicted, renting a screening room to show a film is sure to lose money.

For a week at the screening, Walt Disney Studios paid $1,000 in rent for the theater, while the ticket revenue was only $618.

The theater, which is owned by the distributor Chapman & Co., also deducts $580 from its $618 ticket revenue.

So Walt Disney Studios lost $962.

That's just the amount of loss in New York.

Counting the other four big cities, Walt Disney Studios lost more than $4,000 for a week's worth of cartoons.

Roy Disney wasn't too sad because he had expected to lose money, and he was even a little excited: "The good news is that our cartoons are very popular!" Especially the Alice series, this collection gives us confidence! I'll tell Walter that the Alice series will continue to produce a third, fourth, and many more, and we're going to make the Alice series the most beloved cartoon in the United States. ”

"If you want the whole American audience to like Alice, you first need to let the whole American audience see Alice. At present, it seems that it will cost millions of dollars to achieve the goal of making Alice visible to audiences all over the United States. Li Kangping is actually very entangled, the rules of the American film industry are not too perfect now, and the overlord clause of big fish eating small fish can be seen everywhere.

Producers who don't have distribution rights are small fish, and Walt Disney Studios is that kind of small fish.

"Let the Hollywood art team concentrate on making art, and on the business side, Roy, you go figure it out." Li Kangping said.

"There's no best of both worlds, we either rent a screening room at a loss or sell the rights to the cartoon to the distributor. The best I can think of at the moment is that we only sell the distribution rights of cartoons, retaining copyright and trademark rights. Of course, this needs to be negotiated with the 'benevolent' publishers. Roy said helplessly.

"Publisher, publisher again! I hate publishers! Li Kangping shouted unhappily, "The publisher grabbed us by the throat, I hate this feeling!" ”

"Dr. Lee, although I also hate those hateful distributors, but without the operation of distributors, the film industry would not have developed so quickly."

"Roy, can we build our own distribution system, then Walt Disney Studios will no longer have to be controlled by others."

"Dr. Lee, we don't have that much money to build our distribution system, and it's not something that can be solved just by spending money."

"Roy, tell me, tell me as much detail as possible, what kind of efforts should we make to have our own distribution system?"

"Dr. Lee, it all started with Thomas Edison......
