Chapter 297 Accelerating Cultural Victory
“Choose between 700 points in the college entrance examination and 7 million? Xiaobai, why are you checking this?”
In the dormitory, Luo Peng stood curiously next to Bage. Staring at his computer.
Bage didn't squint his eyes, looked at the online comments with interest, adjusted his glasses, "I'm doing research for Bi She."
Indeed.
There are still more than half a year left in their college career, and their graduation thesis is already on the agenda.
"This issue still needs to be considered? Any fool knows how to choose."
Luo Peng said suddenly.
"Pengzi, if it were you, what would you choose?"
Li Shao next door seemed to be interested in this question and chimed in.
"Of course it's 7 million! Needless to say?"
Luo Peng did not hesitate.
"Brother Peng, but I saw some street interview videos on Starry Sky. Those high school students who were interviewed all chose 700 points." Bage turned around and said.
"You also said that they are all high school students."
Luo Peng smiled, then looked at the post on the computer screen and asked casually: "What did they say? ”
“Some people say that if you score 700 points in the college entrance examination, you will have greater possibilities in your future life. Others say that you will definitely earn more than 7 million if you get a score of 700 in the college entrance examination.”
"This statement is quite honest."
Luo Peng grinned, then pointed to the laptop, "But look at these online posts, what are the popular comments at the bottom. ”
Bage just watched it.
What is different from the short videos he saw is that the attitude of netizens towards this issue is completely different from that of the high school students interviewed on the street. It can even be said to be two extremes. The popular replies of the first few posts , all chose 7 million without exception.
Luo Peng patted his shoulder.
“This is the reality. Those high school students are still living in the ivory tower. They have never experienced the harshness of the world and the warmth and coldness of human relationships. What they are thinking about is poetry and the distance. Ask them the same question a few years later. Like these netizens, they will recognize the reality. "
"Xiaobai, if I were to interview you, if 7 million and 700 points in the college entrance examination were placed in front of you, how would you choose? "
"7 million."
Belzheli answered without any hesitation,
Luo Peng laughed and looked around, "Look, Xiaobai is really sober in the world."
>Jiang Chen is watching a movie, a Hollywood blockbuster, quite leisurely.
"Xiaobai, what score did you get in the college entrance examination?" Li Shao asked.
Bage thought for a moment.
“It seems to be 658.”
Li Shao glanced at Luo Peng, "What's the difference between 658 and 700 points?"
"..."
Luo Peng didn't answer, and then asked: "Brother Shao , If it were you, how would you choose? "
Li Shao was not as straightforward as them, his eyes were thoughtful and seemed to be weighing.
Luo Peng smiled.
"No way? Brother Shao, we are all seniors now, are you still as naive as those high school students?"
"You know that tens of millions of people across the country every year How many people can get a score of 700 in the college entrance examination? It can be said that they are proud of their ancestors," said Li Shao.
Luo Peng disagreed and smiled even more, "Brother Shao, do you know that among the more than one billion people in the country, how many can earn 7 million in a lifetime?"
Li Of course Shao couldn't answer.
“I can tell you, there are less than 4 million households. This is still taking into account all the assets of the entire family, and there are about 400 million households in the country. In other words, if you get these 7 million, you You can lead your family into the top 1% of living standards in the country.”
Perhaps because of his family background, Luo Peng seems cynical, but he has a very clear understanding of the domestic economic situation, unlike those young people who have been brainwashed by the Internet and have no idea of the depth of society.
Miss Shi doesn’t have much idea about money.
In fact, to a certain extent, many young people nowadays are like her.
Let’s just say that those keyboard warriors in the starry sky who point out the country have higher aspirations than the sky. Just looking at what they say, you will definitely feel that China has completely achieved a great renaissance, with a per capita income of one million, and is beating the world.
“Brother Shao, let’s not use our own school as an example. Let’s talk about Qingbei. An organization has made statistics before. Do you know the average monthly salary of Qingbei students five years after graduation? 18,000 Between 20,000 yuan and 20,000 yuan, that’s it. Qingbei students’ income should be far higher than the domestic average, right? How long does it take to earn 7 million?
Xiaobai, please do the math for me."
"350 months."
"Yes, 350 months, that is, almost 30 years."
Luo. Peng sighed: "Brother Shao, this is reality. So what if you get 700 points? You still need a long time to realize it, you still need to study hard in college, and you have to work hard to enter the society. I don't know how many years." Only then can you stop and take a breath and have the energy to repay your parents. But if you choose 7 million, you can immediately improve your life and your family. Tomorrow's gold is not as good as today's copper. Furthermore, when you are young, you can improve your life and your family immediately. Being rich and being rich in old age are two completely different experiences. If you hesitate for a second on this issue, it is not disrespect for money, but disrespect for the truth. "< br>
Li Shao was said to be speechless.
"Of course, if your family already has seven million, that's a different matter. Then you can choose seven hundred points to give your life more possibilities."
"Brother Peng , can I write these words of yours into the paper? "
Bage raised his head.
“Of course, just reprint it in Luo Peng, the Star of Tomorrow’s Wealth.”
Luo Peng patted his shoulder, turned and walked towards Jiang Chen. "What are you watching? You're so fascinated."
"Wow, Jiang Chen, it's a clear sky and a white sun, you're actually watching a short movie, secretly watching it alone, it's so unauthentic..."
After looking at it for a few times, Luo Peng frowned slightly, "Which country is this from? It's not as professional as the Japanese at all. How about I give you a website, Chinese subtitles, plot, super exciting..."
"Look carefully, is this a short movie?"
Jiang Chen said angrily.
Luo Peng took a closer look and found that he seemed to have misunderstood.
“This is...Cleopatra?”
That’s right.
What was playing on Jiang Chen's computer was "Cleopatra," which ranked second in film history in terms of investment, but ended up losing all his money.
In order to complete this masterpiece, the film crew invested a total of US$44 million at the time, but the box office result was only US$24 million.
You know, that was half a century ago!
To this day, "Cleopatra" is the film with the worst loss in film history.
"I have watched this movie many times when I was a child. I heard that in order to make this movie, the filmmakers almost restored the entire city of Rome. It is so awesome." Luo Peng came closer and said, "Heroes see the same thing. Ah, I also think this movie is quite a classic. Although it failed at the box office, it is definitely an epic masterpiece. The heroine Elizabeth was the goddess of my dreams when I was a child..."
As he spoke, he changed the subject. .
“I have that version, do you want to enjoy it?”
"..."
Jiang Chen ignored him.
Luo Peng didn't mind either. He moved his chair over and relived his childhood memories, watching and commenting.
The nearly four-hour movie was ultimately not able to be watched completely.
Luo Peng sighed with unfinished meaning,
“When will a blockbuster of this scale be released in China? No matter how bad it is, I will go to the cinema to support it.”
"We'll see if you can wait until you get old."
Li Shao broke the news, "The biggest domestic investment in movies now is only one billion, and Cleopatra was already made half a century ago. In terms of the film industry, we are not far behind.”
“There are many top wealthy people in the country now, so why are they not willing to spend money on movies?”
Bage. ask.
"It's very simple, because of the limitations of the market."
Li Shaodao: "Why does Hollywood dare to invest so much? Because when people make a film, it can be put on the global market, and the whole world can pay for it, but Chinese-language films But it is difficult to go abroad. Those film companies may not be short of money, but they are not stupid either. Why should they spend one billion or two billion to take risks? If you want to change this situation, you must take the lead in completing the export of culture. , as our country becomes stronger, this process has gradually begun, but it is not fast and may take a relatively long time."
"When the world starts to become familiar with and accept Eastern culture, then. Sometimes, there will always be people who want to take risks and have the courage to take risks. The more people take risks, the more progress the film industry will make."
Luo. Peng nodded in agreement.
"Abundant national strength will lead to cultural victory, and cultural victory will lead to overall victory."
Jiang Chen's heart moved slightly as he looked at Li Shao who was speaking.
He originally regarded the opportunity to cooperate with Thomas Felson as a good opportunity to "make money".
But now it seems that the significance of this matter is not just as superficial as he thought.
Poverty means being alone.
If you achieve it, you will benefit the world.
When you reach a certain status, what you do, even if it is not intentional on your part, may invisibly affect the entire world.
For example, this movie is actually made.
Many records will be broken.
For example, there has never been an Oriental actor starring in Hollywood.
To know.
This breaks not only the record, but also the deep-rooted cognition in people’s minds!
Once the first one appears, the second, third... it seems not so difficult to accept.
The West used strong ships and cannons to forcefully open the door to our country, so why can't we use our "money power" to blast open the city defenses of their culture?
Li Shao was indeed right.
When the national strength gradually increases and the export of foreign culture reaches a certain level, the domestic film industry will definitely reach a big level naturally.
But you have to know.
Film itself is actually one of the means of cultural export, and it is part of the cultural export to the outside world. It has the obligation to expand outward, rather than resting on its laurels as a matter of course and waiting to enjoy the results.
Li Shao would have never imagined that a simple chat in the dormitory as usual would change Jiang Chen's ideology.
Jiang Chen glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, then closed the computer, stood up and walked out.
“What are you doing?”
Luo Peng wondered.
"I will accelerate cultural victory."
