Chapter 122 Dr. Su

Chapter 122 Dr. Su

Li Siming has a very good idea of ​​time, but time is always not transferred by human will.

When Li Siming forced the editor to complete the final editing work day and night, the final recording of John Barry's soundtrack had just begun. The soundtrack of the whole 20 chapters, like the chanting of a giant, was still not high, but it still made people feel extraordinary. The soothing and rising blue jazz, the blurred and sensual string music, the tragic and heroic wind music... are all displayed smoothly, comfortable, and natural under the careful mix of John Barry. It is a collision of softness and rigidity, the subversion of elegance and unruly, and the test of hearing and thinking.

The soundtrack is also extremely complex in structure, mainly with three major themes - "the john dunbar theme" and "twww.piaotian.comt hunting and hunting brought by "the buffalo hunting", the spectacular scene of thousands of oxen rushing makes people excited; "the john dunbar theme" played with a harmonica ingeniously depicting the lonely figure of the protagonist on the empty grassland. This extremely artistic work will be destined to be a classic work in John Barry's film history.

However, the final recording work still requires first-class bands and the best recording department to cooperate, so Li Siming could only stare at and do it in a hurry. The emperor was not anxious and the eunuch was anxious. Li Siming was helpless but had no choice but to call three times a day to urge Barry to speed up. Barry was annoyed and dialed all the telephone lines before the world became quiet.

Just as Barry was stepping up his work, Li Siming came to the University of California, Los Angeles. He hoped to see the group of Chinese students he was following before returning to China.

The scenery on the campus is very good, with green leaves and green buildings. Those old buildings are also unique in style, showing tradition and personality, inheritance and inheritance, and of course the humanistic atmosphere is very strong. Without walls, this is probably the most important difference between American universities and Chinese universities. UCL has the largest film and television archives among all universities in the world, second only to the Library of Congress. Li Siming guessed whether he would have his own works? On the campus, there are several buildings with relatively old shapes and gloomy appearances. They are always borrowed by students studying film to make horror movies. This university is close to Hollywood. This is probably the reason why many directors are willing to shoot here, but they are not all used to make horror movies.

Li Siming strolled in the beautiful campus, looking around with interest, people coming and going, sitting or lying, and even sleeping like no one on the grass. It has been several years since he left the campus, but everything in front of him made him feel very comfortable and comfortable. After all, the days in the world of fame and fortune were not what he liked. Li Siming was very casual, wearing a baseball cap and a pair of large sunglasses, hiding himself well under the brim of the hat. Li Siming is not only a celebrity, but also

A great celebrity, Li Siming conquered all those who love to watch movies with his movies and personal charm. Since his first appearance at the Oscar, he has rarely had the opportunity to walk outside casually, which may be the price of success. If others can succeed like Li Siming, it would be too late to be happy, but Li Siming didn't think so. He understood why those celebrities would sigh that they want to be an ordinary person under the pressure of negative news - this is so hypocritical to others.

"It is indeed not so easy to make a fortune in silence!" Li Siming sighed in his heart. If he could, he would rather walk into any cafe that he was satisfied with and have a drink like an ordinary person; he would rather sit on the bench in the park on the street and enjoy the peace of the dusk after a day of hard work; he would rather he be able to accompany his wife to shop aimlessly in the future.

This explains why he is so uninterested in journalists, because he instinctively does not want to let himself appear in front of the public.

However, he showed off his appearance on campus, and students with good eyesight recognized him.

"Man, why are you following me?" Li Siming stopped suddenly, turned around and said to a boy who had been following him.

"No, I just want to confirm your identity!" The boy almost ran into him by Li Siming's stop. "You seem to be some celebrity?"

"Identity? I am a big man who is like a fake one. The beauties are basking in the sun and sunbathing on the grass in front of the Powell Library, and they are all wearing bikini!" Li Siming said with a smile, "It's quite sexy!"

"No way?" The boy didn't believe it.

"You can tell if you go and take a look. It looks like a beauty pageant. Don't regret it if you don't go!" Li Siming said.

“Are Americans so open?”

"Are you not an American?"

"I am a Syrian student!"

"Oh? Then in your motherland, Allah must not give you a chance to feast your eyes. Go and have a look!" Li Siming's wide sunglasses could not conceal the smile on the corner of his mouth.

The Arab brother ran away happily, but when he arrived at the place, he was stunned when he saw it. It turned out that it was a group of old ladies holding a party.

Li Siming had already made an appointment with Lao Ye and Chen Jian to meet in a cafe on campus. He threw away the people of Allah, Li Siming turned a few turns and followed the signs to enter the cafe. As soon as he entered, Li Siming saw Lao Ye wave to him from a distance.

"Old Ye, Xiao Chen, it's been a long time since I saw you, I miss you so much!" Li Siming felt very numb as soon as he met. Lao Ye smiled bitterly, pointed to a Chinese man next to him whom Li Siming didn't know and said to Li Siming:

"Teacher Li, this is Dr. Su Chenggong, from Anhui, and an associate professor at mit. He happened to be visiting our school these two days and is a talented man!" Lao Ye introduced.

"Hello!" Li Siming's eyes lit up when he heard Lao Ye's introduction, "I'm very happy to know you! Well, the name is also very good! It would be even better if he could see you every day, recite your name, and make a good fortune!"

"Director Li, I have long admired you!" Su Chenggong was amused by Li Siming's opening remarks. "Americans may not know who our Chinese leader is, but they will not know that there is a Chinese director in Hollywood!"

Dr. Su was wearing a pair of old-fashioned glasses, his face was shaved cleanly, and he sat there quietly, looking gentle, but his brows were always frowning, as if he was thinking about difficult academic issues. This was a scholar's face. Li Siming had a good first impression of him. If this person shouted to take a photo with Li Siming as soon as he met, it would be greatly reduced in Li Siming's mind.

Su Chenggong's experience is not simple. He was born in 1954 and three years older than Li Siming. At the age of 17, he entered the telecommunications office in a small town in his hometown to work as a telecommunications office. In his short two-year career as a telecommunications operator, he studied high school courses with his persistence and diligence, and with his interests, he studied the principles of telephones, switches, and radios, gradually learned about radio, television, radio and other knowledge, and mastered the repair of telephones and installation of radios.

The technology of the college entrance examination was briefly resumed in the 73 years of the Cultural Revolution, which allowed him to be admitted to the Department of Radio Engineering of Nanjing Institute of Technology and stayed at school to teach after graduation. In 1978, he was the first Chinese to study abroad, but he went to Germany. In 1978, he was sent to the Department of Electronics of Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany to study in the department, and then studied for a master's degree in the department. From 1981 to 1983, he did doctoral research at the Institute of Applied Solid Physics of Frankhoff, Germany, and engaged in I-design mainly based on gallium arsenide technology.

"You mean Germany's 'father of microelectronics' - Mr. Bosch is your mentor?" Li Siming was very surprised, but he was thinking about how to catch this big fish.

"Yes, I'm very lucky. Maybe the teacher thinks I'm not too bad. We Chinese people are not inferior to foreigners in terms of IQ. We are more diligent, which makes me the first Chinese doctoral student!" Su Chenggong said calmly, but he was a little proud. The masters of martial arts novels pay attention to being from a noble family. In reality, soldiers are proud of being from heroic troops with great military achievements. Politicians are famous for participating in major historical events, and scholars are the same. They are proud of learning from a master-level figure.

"I heard that Franhof applied solid state physics to study all a relatively small process line, and the entire process of ic design can be completed from design to final implementation to testing. Should you gain a lot there?"

"How do you know? Technology is a part that is relatively lacking in my original knowledge structure. At Nanjing Institute of Technology, I learned the system part and taught myself some tools. At that time, spice had not been introduced in China. I mainly wrote programs by the literature based on the description of spice function. In Germany, I happened to understand the content of technology. This understanding is not a general understanding from books, but directly seeing their process lines, workflows and the most basic equipment."

"Yes, IC design is a technology and discipline that covers a wide range of areas. In general, it involves four aspects of knowledge: systems, circuits, processes, tools, etc. Therefore, learning IC design requires a very broad knowledge. You must understand both systems, circuits, and processes, and tools." Li Siming talked freely, "The contact area abroad is larger, and the conditions are also good. It seems that you have achieved success in your studies?"

"It's okay. Last year, I came to mit. The conditions there were better. I came into contact with some large semiconductor companies and did a lot of projects. In general, I have benefited a lot. I heard from Lao Ye that you were once a professor of electronics at Peking University, which is really unbelievable. Because you are now the hottest director in Hollywood, and you were so young back then. If you were not a genius, you would be crazy about Peking University!"

"Am I very old now?" Li Siming asked back.

"Of course not!" Su Chenggong found that his expression just now was a bit exaggerated.

"In fact, I'm just interested in movies. I once said that this is just a bunch of awards given to me by Americans and is of no use to our country. To be honest, I came to the United States just to make money! I am just entertaining Americans, but I am just an actor!" Li Siming smiled bitterly, "If I were to outsiders, I wouldn't say that. In short, in the world of fame and fortune, it is not a place for us to stay for a long time."

"I watched your speech too. What did you say? I feel very touched! This is also the reason why I came here to meet you today. It's a coincidence that I happened to have the opportunity to come to Los Angeles this time. It's rare. I heard from Lao Ye that your future plans are very good?"

"Of course! My friend and I set up a company. The company's future framework is relatively large, including movies and household appliances, which will be managed in the future. But this is not the most important. The main focus of the future is semiconductors. Currently, the Science and Technology Building in Shenzhen has been completed and has two experimental processes. The equipment comes from the United States, Japan and Germany. It can be said to be the Wanguo Technology Equipment Exhibition. It took a lot of effort to purchase it. You know, we don't lack money, and the existing US dollars can last for at least eight years. In addition, we also need to buy it.

Through offshore companies, we have mastered 20% of the shares of Microsoft, the most famous software company in the United States, which will continue to bring us some cash benefits in the future. In terms of talent, I tell you frankly that since 1982, we have sponsored more than 150 Chinese students to study majors related to electronics in various universities in the United States. For this reason, we have spent more than 10 million US dollars. In addition to sponsoring tuition and living expenses, we also donate to some universities and research institutions. Unfortunately, these international students will not be useful for the time being."

"Yes, the school introduced me to Texas Instruments last year to participate in a student project, which was a benefit!" Chen Jian interrupted.

"Sounds great!" Su Chenggong was surprised by what Li Siming said. He only thought Li Siming was just a more enthusiastic compatriot, but he didn't expect Li Siming to have such a long-term plan.

"To be honest, this is not the most important thing!"

"What do you think is the most important?"

"If there is no money, we can borrow and earn it; if there is no people, we can recruit, sponsor and cultivate it like now, as long as time allows. But if there are money and talents, if all kinds of artificial factors are tied to your hands and feet, will you still be creative?"

"Are you talking about a system or mechanism thing?" Su Chenggong thought about it. This is probably an important reason why he came to the United States instead of returning to China?

"I once swear in Shenzhen: I hope it is an exciting place, an enterprising place, a place where new things will be born every day, a place where all young people who are determined to innovate technology, middle-aged people or respected old scientists are willing to live for a long time, and a place where you can leave footnotes in China's modernization cause!" Li Siming paused.

"What you said is so exciting!" Lao Ye unconsciously applauded, not forgetting to add a fire, "Dr. Su, let's just do it with us!"

Su Chenggong was a little hesitant and asked him to give up the affordable treatment and first-class work and research environment here, which was difficult. Humans are profit-seeking animals. This is one of the reasons why China had the first wave of going abroad in the early 1980s. Li Siming understood it very well. He did not take it for granted whether Dr. Su loves or not, although Dr. Su is now holding an American passport.

Li Siming took out a check book from his arms, wrote a number, and signed his name.

"Dr. Su, this 500,000 is the settlement fee I have given you on behalf of the company. I provide you with an opportunity to serve the high-tech industry of the motherland. I hope you can give me a chance to work together." Li Siming said sincerely.

"This..." Su Chenggong was a little moved, not because of the money, but because of Li Siming's sincerity, "I didn't do anything, I can't collect this money!"

"Please accept it. Just treat it as my sincerity. If you feel that Shenzhen's conditions in the future cannot satisfy you, you can return to the United States at any time. If you think that the 500,000 yuan is the one I will compensate you for your losses in advance, what about?" Li Siming said, "Do you think it's less?"

"No, this is already a lot." Su Chenggong certainly won't think it's too little. If he doesn't accept it, he will seem too pretentious.

"Then you accept it. The security in Los Angeles is not very good!" Li Siming joked. Seeing that he accepted it, he was very happy. He was not afraid that you would not accept it, but that you didn't care. The more embarrassed you were, the happier I would be. It would be better if I felt indebted to me.

People feel refreshed when they are happy, and Li Siming is happy when he is happy. These people are all studying electronics, so naturally they cannot do without their majors. However, Li Siming's extensive knowledge surprised Su Chenggong, a German Ph.D. and an associate professor at the American mit.

"Amin!" Li Siming successfully won his favor, and even his title changed. "I doubt whether you are the character in the newly released movie "Terminator" and crossed time and space to 1985. Your professional knowledge has long exceeded the domestic level of China, and many technical ideas are also very novel in the American industry!"

"Sorry, "Terminator" is also a work that has just been completed by the company." Li Siming was happy. This $6 million movie is a low-cost work for Li Siming, but he can imagine that the "governor" will bring him at least ten times the income. It turns out that making movies is really grabbing money. Only you have enough vision and artistic appreciation. Coincidentally, Li Siming dares to say that he is an authority in these two aspects. It is much more comfortable to make money for others to make movies for themselves than to do it yourself.

"Teacher Li is my idol. He was a sensible figure in Peking University back then!" Chen Jian said with a smile. This person has always admired Li Siming. He was originally a classmate with him, but he didn't expect to transform into a professor. "It is said that he is still the person that Peking University girls want to make friends most in private. This is what I heard of, not me. But unfortunately, Teacher Li has long had a master of famous flowers!"

"To be honest, I have more confidence in you now!" Su Chenggong said with a smile, "It's a waste of being a director!"

"I like to hear this, and someone once said that." Li Siming disagreed.

For scientific and technological talents like Su Chenggong, only those who share the same language with him are the ones he is most willing to deal with. He doesn't know that Li Siming did it intentionally, and Li Siming sang songs in any mountain. What's more, Li Siming is very skillful in playing it, let alone his "unpredictable intentions".

While talking, a large number of male and female students suddenly rushed in, and surrounded Li Siming under the leadership of a boy. It was the Arab brother who had been deceived by Li Siming once.

"Man, aren't you here to seek revenge?" Li Siming said to this guy. He was surrounded by these students who claimed to be the film department. His hands, size, skin color, and fatness, all came over and asked for autographs. Fans, these are fans.

"Nothing, I just told a Hollywood Chinese director who was drinking coffee here. They all came, and I couldn't do anything about it!" This guy gloated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a public place. Please line up one by one, okay?" Li Siming raised his hand to surrender.

It doesn't matter if Li Siming said this, but the team lined up outside the cafe, one by one, attracting more people to join. The owner of the cafe was very happy because everyone bought a cup of coffee and stood waiting for Li Siming's signature. It was not until Li Siming's signature was sour.

"It's finally over. College students are of high quality. Abide by public order and deserve praise." Li Siming rubbed his right hand and was suddenly shocked, "Who took my hat and sunglasses?"

But compared to having a talent he has poached, what is that? Su Chenggong, this famous name is really good!
