Making a film is an artistic act, and making a film is a technical act.

Not long ago, the world's first sound film was released in New York, but it did not cause a sensation. This sound film is actually an experimental product, and it is not technically mature enough.

In Li Kangping's memory, the first real sound film was released in 1927, causing a sensation and changing the landscape of the film industry. The small company that shot and produced this sound film became a large company, and became one of the "eight major Hollywood studios".

Edison had registered a patent for a sound film as early as 1910, and it was not until the first half of 1923 that the first experimental sound film was born, on the one hand, because of technical problems and on the other hand, the intervention of capitalists.

We found that Wall Street capitalists have stepped into the film industry, believing that silent films are the best, and they also believe that sound films will influence their layout.

History is finally on the side of sound films and color films.

What Li Kangping wants to do is to follow the trend of historical development.

Li Kangping and Sophie's relationship is based on freedom, she doesn't need him to be responsible, but when she is with him, she is like glue and inseparable, and the two get along sweetly all day long, and quickly develop to the stage of passionate love.

"Does KBK only make short films because of the technical problems, or because of the funding or other problems?" Mr. Lee seems to be particularly concerned about KBK.

Sophie replied, "There are a few of them, but the main thing is money." If they have enough funds, they can buy more and more advanced equipment and film, and they can also undertake longer shooting and production cycles. ”

"How much money do they need to make a feature film?"

"Ten thousand dollars, or tens of thousands of dollars. It's difficult for them. ”

If you can't get 10,000 or tens of thousands of dollars, what kind of film company do you own?

It can be seen that Sophie is not easy, she deals with such a small film company, even if she gets a film contract, she will not get too high a salary.

"Sophie, take a moment, you ask the person who counts KBK to come out for dinner, and I will go to the appointment as your boyfriend."

"On what grounds should you ask them to be made?"

"You tell them that I'm thinking about investing 10,000 or tens of thousands of dollars to help them make feature films."

"Kangping, you really want to get involved in the film industry, why do you want to do this?"

"Because my girlfriend is a movie actress, she wants to make feature films."

"Kangping, dear, I didn't ask you to do it, you don't have to......"

Sophie's tears welled up in her eyes, she cried so hard that she laughed and laughed like a crazy little fool.

Li Kangping hugged Sophie into his arms and said, "Honey, you can't be acting, right?" If yes, then I'm going to do it even more, I'm helping an outstanding actor make her dreams come true. ”

"What are you playing! I love you, do you need to act? Sophie's soft body curled up in her boyfriend's arms, and she said with a sweet expectation: "Kangping, don't leave tonight, continue to spend the night with me, okay?" ”

A person has limited energy, and he spends the night in his girlfriend's apartment, he will write a few pages less paper.

When the morning dawned, Sophie, who got up early, made breakfast for her boyfriend and watched her boyfriend go to work with affection.

The girlfriend can be temporarily unemployed, but the boyfriend must have a stable and lucrative job.

Li Kangping came to the office of the president of Zeus Company in Manhattan, and their company's funds were very tight, so they should be able to squeeze out 10,000 or tens of thousands of dollars for his girlfriend to make a movie.

Aside from the technical aspects, Li Kangping did not understand the operating model and various rules of the American film industry.

You invest tens of thousands of dollars, and they can help your girlfriend make a movie?

Add tens of thousands of dollars or 100,000 dollars to buy a small film company or 100% of it?

I don't know, I don't know, I need to explore and try further.

Ding ding ding, the phone rang, and Li Kangping answered the phone: "I am. Plum. ”

"Lee, I'm Arthur, and I'm good news for you, Professor Duane has finally agreed to publish our paper!" Arthur Compton said excitedly on the phone.

"Really? That's great! Li Kangping was also excited.

"Our paper will be published in the latest issue of Physical Review, and of course, our X-ray scattering experiments will continue, and Wu and I will add more experimental evidence."

Arthur Compton was very self-conscious, and he knew that the publication of the paper on X-ray scattering experiments was only the beginning, and did not mean that the merit was complete.

As Arthur Compton said, he and his graduate student Wu Youxun will add more and more powerful experimental evidence to complete this scientific research project.

Li Kangping hung up the phone, and Jennifer entered the president's office with a plate with coffee cups and Cantonese snacks on the plate.

"Jennifer, you write a letter to the office of Professor Robert Milligan at the California Institute of Technology, and you tell Professor Robert Milligan's secretary that I want to visit Professor Robert Milligan in California, and if Professor Milligan agrees, I will add this to my itinerary for my trip to California."

Li Kangping tasted Cantonese dim sum, he said with satisfaction: "This kind of dim sum is delicious, but don't give me Cantonese dim sum every day, I hope to combine Chinese and Western, one, three, five Chinese dim sum, two, four, six Western-style refreshments, let's change it." ”

"Okay, President, I see. I will write to Professor Milligan about my visit to Professor Milligan right away. ”

In terms of non-academic business, Jennifer gradually became Li Kangping's gunman.

Academic papers and letters, of course, have to be handled by Li Kangping himself.

After spending the morning in the president's office and handling important company business, Li Kangping returned to the house in Kelena Manor, finished the academic work that should have been completed last night, and worked until the early hours of the morning to complete today's and tomorrow's academic tasks.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Kangping got up, and Aunt He prepared a Chinese breakfast for him.

After dinner, Li Kangping sorted out his papers and textbooks in the study.

The Principle of Electron Spin and Incompatibility is not yet finished, as is Atomic Physics.

No matter how rich the academic information Li Kangping remembers, he can only write a dozen pages of papers or textbooks in a day.

Li Kangping aspires to have a professional team of academic gunners, like Bohr.

Li Kangping's current academic reputation is far from that of Nobel laureate Bohr, and Zeus's laboratory has almost zero achievements in the field of purely academic research, which is not comparable to that of the Copenhagen Institute.

Writing the paper until four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Kangping received a phone call, Jennifer called.

"President, Mr. Alan Biederman of Columbia Research Institute wants to see you, and he is now at the King's Building, saying that there is an academic matter that needs to be communicated with you."

"Jennifer, you ask Mr. Biederman to go to my apartment on Morning Street, where I will meet him."

An hour later, Li Kangping received Allen in his apartment on Chenbian Street.

"Li, I called your apartment and no one answered, and I don't know the phone number of your new house, so I went to your company headquarters to find you." Alan explained listlessly. His eyelashes were long, and a distinct semicircular purple-black halo appeared under his eyes, as if he was in a constant fever, making his face appear unnaturally sick.

"Alan, you look terrible, you have a smell of me that makes me wonder, a little bit of evil."

"It's the smell of anxiety, poverty and the inability to sleep all night." Alan said with a wry smile.

Li Kangping held Allen's arms, and he said loudly: "Hey, Allen, what's wrong with you?" If you have any trouble, please be sure to let me know. ”

"Lee, I've got good news for you." Alan barely managed to squeeze out a happy smile as he said, "We upped the intensity and we found the third ring. ”
