"The X-ray quanta change in the direction of motion and the momentum also change, which causes the recoil of the scattered electrons, which reduces the energy of the radiated quanta and lowers the frequency. Arthur Compton calculated that the corresponding increase in wavelength of X-rays caused by scattering is λ-(1-cosθ). The aim of the Arthur Compton experiment was to provide more accurate experimental data on wavelength changes in X-ray scattering than ever before. Professor Milligan, as you can see, Arthur Compton did. ”

Li Kangping is not only doing academic exchanges this time, but also academic public relations.

The X-ray scattering experiment was led by Arthur Compton and his student Wu Youxun, and the academic communication and public relations work should be the responsibility of Compton's Chicago team.

Li Kangping went to California to discuss business, and by the way, he visited Professor Robert Milligan. Li Kangping helped Arthur Compton's team do some of the communication work.

In the evening, Milligan said, "The truth is that, in the present state of theory, everything is just a matter of feeling. ”

This is ambiguous, but Milligan remains neutral.

The Compton experiment involves a whole new theoretical system. Milligan's lack of criticism of the Compton experiment is good news—at least not bad news.

In the restaurant of the Pasadena Hotel, Li Kangping and Jennifer had dinner together.

Jennifer slice open a sausage, and she said, "I can't seem to do anything but contact Professor Robert Milligan's secretary." You and Professor Milligan talked about physics in the lab all day, and my secretary and I visited Caltech all day. Of course, the college students' performance of "King Lear" was wonderful. ”

"I remember, you seem to have performed Shakespeare's plays at Barnard College, too?" Li Kangping asked.

"I played Romeo and Juliet." Jennifer said, and then she smiled and said, "Did you know that on the 7th of the month, all the girls of Barnard College danced wildly in Times Square to celebrate the truce! I was one of them, and it was one of my most passionate performances. ”

"I came to the United States in 1920, and I wonder if there will be a chance to enjoy nearly a thousand female college students dancing the snake dance collectively?"

"The only thing that makes people celebrate so wildly is the victory in the war, and I don't want another war."

"Cheers to world peace."

"Cheers."

"Jennifer, I must say I'm sorry. You're my employee, so I know your birthday. You are the same year as me and a few months older than me. On the eve of your birthday, there was no party, no group dancing, just me, the demanding boss, to accompany you to dinner in a small city in California. Yes, Jennifer, I want to say sorry to you. Li Kangping's palm shook, and he shook out a diamond necklace like a trick, and he said, "Anyway, Jennifer, I wish you a happy birthday?" Please accept the gift of the demanding boss. ”

"Oh!" Jennifer was pleasantly surprised? So he accepted the boss's gift.

"Kangping, thank you! I love this necklace to death! ”

"Happy birthday." Li Kangping picked up his wine glass and clinked glasses with Jennifer.

"Oh? I'm twenty-three years old? In our hometown, most girls my age are married? even became a mother. ”

"Jennifer, you have a good job in New York? Do you feed yourself? Maybe you will be able to help your family, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. ”

"But I can't always be single, I'm going to get married sooner or later."

"Jennifer, you're excellent? Sooner or later, you will find a husband who matches you. ”

"I hope so!"

Meal? The two went up to the second floor, and Jennifer's room was across from Li Kangping's room.

"Thank you for the necklace, good night." Jennifer kissed Lee on the cheek and went back to her room.

The next day, Li Kangping returned to Hollywood? Join the Disney brothers on a tour of the studio rented by Walt Disney Studios.

"I worked for a while at Kansas Movie Advertising, and that company made one-minute commercial films? Screened in cinemas. This kind of cartoon is extremely primitive, they cut out images of animals and people and pin them to the curtain? And then move the joints and shoot the film like that? When it is screened, there is an illusion of activity. A painter draws and cuts out an image to give to the photographer? Attach a description of the action. I think this method of making cartoons is too rudimentary? I've seen cartoon movies in New York and their action is much more realistic. ”

"Then I went to learn this kind of cartoon film technique with real action, I borrowed a slow-motion camera that could take one picture at a time, and with Roy's help, I set up the garage in my house as a sound stage, and I worked until the wee hours of the morning until I made my drawings into cartoons."

"In my garage, I finished my first cartoon movie with the creative theme of Kansas City's citizens' dissatisfaction with poor road repairs. The cartoon was 300 feet long, sold for $3 a foot, and I sold it to the Newman Theatre, which has 3 movie theaters in Kansas City. ”

Walt Disney rented a studio in Hollywood more than fifty times the size of his garage. At present, the studio is relatively deserted, with only some basic animation production equipment and materials.

"Walter's first cartoon was only $900 at the time, and looking back at the deal, we lost a lot of money, and we should have been paid at least $5,000 for the sale of the film." Roy Disney said unwillingly.

"I'm not good at business, so I need Roy to help me negotiate business, he worked at the First National Bank of Kansas, and he has an amazing talent for number crunching, business negotiations." Walt Disney laughed, "And I'm a painter and a filmmaker." ”

The Disney brothers made it very clear that they were just producers and sellers of cartoons at the time, and they sold cartoons to distributors who owned theaters for $900, and then the cartoon had nothing to do with Disney Brothers regardless of the box office.

"In May 1922, Roy, I, and a few friends teamed up to create the Laughter Animation Company in Kansas." Walt Disney went on to say, "We had a total of $1,500, and even if you count the remaining assets that Iwox, the Disney Company had merged, Laughter Animation was still a small company. Our Laughter Animation Company has five cartoonists, a coloring girl, a business manager, a salesman and a secretary. This is our animation team, Dr. Lee, and I told you that my team in Kansas will be in place in 3 months. And we're going to add new people to make the initial size of Walt Disney Studios around the size of people. ”

"Of course, if Dr. Li is willing to increase the investment, then we can achieve the size of 50 people." Roy Disney adds, "You know, the artistic ideas come from Walter, but it takes a lot of skilled people to efficiently turn the artistic ideas of artistic genius into animated products. ”

"Let's build a Walt Disney studio with 30 people for the time being." Li Kangping suggested, and he added: "As far as I know, you have made several cartoons at Laugh Animation Company, why did I only see Alice?" ”

Walt Disney explains: "Before Alice, we produced six animated films, each seven minutes long, including The Little Knights of the Red Riding Hood, The Four Musicians of Bremen, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Blonde Girl and the Three Bears, The Puss in the Boots and Cinderella. ”

"Powerful publishers are concentrated in New York, and our salesmen come to New York, knock on the door and visit the publishers in New York, and eat a lot of closed doors. Finally, Gustav & Co. in New York, a Manhattan-based publisher based on Fifty Street, agreed to buy the six cartoons for $10,000. Oh my God, 10,000 dollars! Walter exclaimed excitedly.

Li Kangping asked quietly: "And then?" You guys sold these six cartoons? ”

Walter was suddenly depressed: "They paid a $100 deposit in 1922, but until now, we have only received a $100 deposit. Dr. Lee, you know, $100 is too little, just enough to buy a pack of cigarettes. ”

"So you've been scammed by a publisher in New York?" Li Kangping looked at Roy and said, "Isn't Roy good at business?" With Roy here, how can you get caught? ”

Roy immediately explained: "Dr. Li, that's right, we weren't deceived, but they just dragged on and didn't pay the full amount of $10,000. Delinquency is a common occurrence in business, not only in the film industry, but also in all walks of life. ”

Li Kangping said: "We at Manhattan Zeus have never defaulted on payments to suppliers. ”

"So we are willing to cooperate with the Manhattan Zeus Company, which has a good business reputation!" Roy said.

"My advice is, "The Little Knights of the Red Riding Hood", "The Four Musicians of Bremen", "Jack and the Beanstalk", "The Blonde Girl and the Three Bears", "The Cat in the Boot", "Cinderella...... I'm not mistaken, are these six names? I suggest that these six cartoons be left unsold and incorporated into the assets of Walt Disney Studios. Is this workable? Li Kangping asked.

Roy nodded and said, "It should be able to do it." Gustav in New York, they want us to break the contract, and we're going to pay them $1,000 for default. ”

You see, Walt Disney's painstakingly created six cartoons not only didn't make money, but lost $900.

In fact, so far, Laughter Animation has only earned a total of $100.

So the laughter animation company collapsed, which is an inevitable thing.

Li Kangping watched "Alice in Wonderland" not long ago.

The cartoon was also made by Walt Disney while he was in Kansas.

When creating Alice in Wonderland, Walt Disney came up with an unprecedented idea, he had a real 6-year-old girl perform in Alice in Wonderland, and then drew the background and cartoon characters to combine them with real girls to complete Alice in Wonderland.

"Since Alice in Wonderland hasn't been sold, don't sell it, keep it, and merge it into the assets of Walt Disney Studios." Lee Kangping likes the Alice in Wonderland cartoon, and he doesn't want to sell it for a bargain price, which has the potential to become a classic.

Although Li Kangping said that he would not interfere in the artistic creation and daily management of Walt Disney Studios, he still couldn't help but interfere a little bit in the daily management affairs when he had face-to-face interactions with the Disney brothers.

"You said that there are powerful film distributors in New York, and I'm based in New York, and in terms of distribution, I'll figure out how to do it. Of course, I'm a rookie to the film industry, and if I really have to negotiate with the distributor, Roy should still be in charge. ”

"Then do as Dr. Lee suggests."

Disney Brothers accepted Dr. Lee's proposal.
