Chapter 54: Telephone Interviews

"Whether the effect is good or not is only known after trying it, we can give it a try, as for whether to implement it in the end, it is not too late to make a decision after seeing the effect. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Secretary Liu smiled and gave his own advice.

At present, various colleges and universities have the strategy of implementing open classes, which can not only prosper the domestic educational atmosphere and provide rich educational resources for more people who like to learn, but also has a positive significance for the promotion of the school itself. In the last year alone, Beijing Normal University has uploaded several open courses to the Internet in one go, covering physics, Chinese studies, education, psychology, history and other aspects, which has won a good reputation for Beijing Normal University.

This time, Secretary Liu wants to take advantage of the thesis incident to do another school publicity, which is understandable.

The matter was finalized, and it was settled, Principal Zhang glanced at Secretary Liu, then at Cen Xian'an, and said with a smile: "Haha, look at us, all of us are like media people, hollowing out their minds to make big news, where are they still like school leaders!" ”

Secretary Liu also smiled: "It's not that there is no way, either keep pace with the times or be eliminated, we have to choose the former." ”

"I'll take care of that." Cen Xian'an took over this job without giving up.

"You are the head of the Department of Physics, and Zhou Chen is from your Department of Physics, who will you give this job to? Of course, if you don't want to do it in the physics department, I think Lao Yanagi in the astronomy department will be very willing. Principal Zhang said with a smile.

"Don't! If you don't leave this matter to me, I'll be in a hurry! As soon as he heard that the Department of Astronomy might intervene, Cen Xian'an immediately became anxious.

Speaking of which, the Department of Physics does not have the course "Astrophysics", but the Department of Astronomy offers this course, so the elective course of "Astrophysics" offered by the Department of Physics is a bit unjustifiable. And that Lao Liu's qualifications are not much lower than Cen Xian'an, if the Department of Astronomy really wants to insert a bar, maybe he really took this job.

How could Cen Xian'an agree to this? Zhou Chen is a talent he "excavated", how could he let the Department of Astronomy snatch it?

The short meeting of the three of them ended quickly, and after they made an appointment to arrange the relevant matters, Cen Xian'an returned to the office in a very good mood.

The first thing Cen Xian'an did when he returned to the office was to open the roster of faculty members, and then turn to Zhou Chen's contact information. After thinking about it, Cen Xian'an dialed a phone call.

The phone rang a few times and was quickly answered, "Hey, I'm Zhou Chen, who are you looking for?" ”

"Haha, Xiao Zhou, I'm Cen Xian'an from the Department of Physics, and I have nothing else to do, here I want to congratulate you first, congratulations on your paper on the cover article of Science magazine." After a few warm greetings, Cen Xian'an expressed his intention to Zhou Chen.

"Record an instructional video? No problem, I'm confident that I can teach the course well......" Zhou Chen didn't expect the school to have such a plan, so his first shot was very successful?

"Just have faith, if you have any difficulties, you can find the department, and we will try our best to pave the way for you. Well, there's nothing else, and you should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, it's not good if it's too hard, but you are the key training object in our department! ”

Is this a key training object? Hanging up the phone, Zhou Chen looked at the phone and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

He saved Cen Xian'an's number, after all, he was the big boss of the physics department, and he might really want to find him if something happened one day.

After a while, his phone rang again, this time it was an unfamiliar number, "Hey, who are you looking for?" Zhou Chen asked suspiciously.

"Hello, I'm Xi Yan, a reporter from the Beijing News, are you Mr. Zhou Chenzhou?" A very nice female voice came from the phone.

"I am!"

"That's right, my newspaper plans to report on Mr. Zhou's deeds, when is Mr. Zhou free, so can you accept our interview?"

"This ......" Zhou Chen hesitated, not that he didn't want to, but he really didn't have time recently. If he could, he would certainly be willing to build a good relationship with the media.

"Is there anything inconvenient?" Hearing Zhou Chen's hesitation, the female voice on the phone asked intellectually.

Zhou Chen said: "That's right, I've been busy preparing a teaching course recently, and in addition to this matter, there is also a paper that is being finalized, so I may not have much spare time." ”

"Well, I can understand that." Xi Yan looked clear, she retreated and said, "Is it convenient to accept my telephone interview now?" ”

Zhou Chen smiled and asked, "Then will you let me say a lot, and then selectively intercept the clips as reporting materials?" Dedicated to what has been processed? ”

"Of course not, please trust my work ethic!" Xi Yan said in an affirmative tone, "If Mr. Zhou doesn't believe it, I can send you a press release for review before publishing the newspaper, and Mr. Zhou can sue me for defamation if the content is published in the newspaper without review, so how about it?" ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to doubt you." Zhou Chen sincerely apologized.

"It's okay, I can understand Mr. Zhou's concerns! The media world is really too chaotic right now. ”

Zhou Chen smiled: "Then it's no problem now, just ask if you have any questions......"

"Okay, let's start the phone interview."

"How did Mr. Zhou conceive the paper on the thermodynamics of black holes, and did he encounter any setbacks in the process of finalizing the paper? How did you feel when you learned that your paper had been accepted as the cover article by Science after it was published? And also...... The grapevine says that you were rejected by Nature before submitting to Science magazine, is this true? ”

Xi Yan asked several questions in a row, and Zhou Chen smiled dumbly, thinking that he was worthy of being a media, and he was really good at seizing the opportunity.

At the same time, I also admired her sources very much, and even investigated the fact that he was rejected by Nature.

Next, Zhou Chen answered them one by one, and he also answered truthfully about whether he had been rejected by Nature, and pointed out that the reason why the manuscript was rejected was not because the quality of the paper was not good or the level of review and editing was not good, but simply different from the concept of Nature.

"Mr. Zhou, I have one last question, what do you think of China's innovation ability? We have all seen that in recent years, Chinese scientists have continued to publish signed articles in internationally renowned journals, and the results achieved have become more and more golden. ”

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, he immediately realized that this was a big pit, no matter what he said, this topic was very eye-catching!

If his answer is not accepted by others, then he is likely to be a target for "attack", so he has to be very careful.

Zhou Chen thought for a while and said, "Miss Xi, please forgive me for not agreeing with your point of view on this issue, because in my opinion, China has never lacked innovation. ”

Xi Yan on the other end of the phone seemed to be stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect Zhou Chen to answer like this, and actually denied her question.

"Mr. Zhou, can you tell us what you think?"

"No problem." Zhou Chen smiled.

He said: "Nowadays, many people open their mouths and say that innovation is insufficient, and when they encounter development, they have to talk about how to improve innovation. I don't know what these people's arguments are, as if lack of innovation is a preconceived premise, do they have specific data, or is it that everyone is saying that, so this view is correct? ”

"I think it's mostly a matter of publicity. In the past, we always liked to say that China is a country with a lot of land and resources, as if there is everything on this land, but the reality is not, we still lack a lot of resources; So it was quick to turn around and say that we are a resource-poor country, as if we had reached the point where we needed to import everything. ”

"Everything needs to be vigilant against overkill, and the absolutization of propaganda will only cause greater misunderstandings! I don't know when our country has been labeled as not innovative enough, although it is desirable to encourage innovation, but the overly bureaucratic tone will cause greater social side effects. I think that instead of talking about innovation, it is better to get to the point and talk about how to care about the survival of enterprises. ”

"Why did Mr. Zhou say that?" Xi Yan asked curiously.

"There are different stages in the development of things, in fact, many people ignore an objective fact, that is, the level of economic development!"

"The vast majority of our enterprises are in the initial stage of entrepreneurship, at this stage they need to solve the problem of enterprise survival, rather than illusory talk about innovation, which model to make money, to survive, they naturally take which model, after solving the problem of survival, enterprises are qualified to talk about innovation! An automobile manufacturer, he doesn't have to start from the structure of the tire, why not use the existing one? It's not a question of innovation, it's a very real economic problem. ”

"A lot of people don't have back pain when they stand and talk, they just don't put themselves in their shoes."

Xi Yan pondered on the other end of the phone, she didn't expect Zhou Chen to answer her question from this angle, it was originally a question she asked, but she was unknowingly taken away by Zhou Chen.

And on the other hand, Zhou Chen's answer is also impeccable, although his answer may not be accurate, can you say that he is wrong? After all, there is no fixed answer, but if Zhou Chen talks about how to improve innovation in the interview, it will attract more fire.

Ending Xi Yan's telephone interview, Zhou Chen shook his head, media workers really can't escape the primitive instinct of making big news, fortunately he was witty and skillfully avoided this question.

Putting down his phone and glancing at the half-written paper on the computer screen, Zhou Chen's attention returned to work.

This is another of his papers after "On the Law of Thermodynamics of Black Holes" and "Simultaneous Transitivity"!

"On the Laws of Thermodynamics of Black Holes" was originally titled "On a Special Black Hole State and the Connection between "Extreme Kerr Black Hole" and "Cosmological Supervision Hypothesis", which was directly changed by the journal "Science" to "On the Laws of Thermodynamics of Black Holes", a more atmospheric name; "Simultaneous Transitivity" has also been revised into a complete paper at the request of Zhao Fengxue, which has been submitted to the domestic journal "Physics" and will be published in the near future.

Zhou Chen is ready to take advantage of the current hot wind to publish his third paper!
