Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 124 Don't Reach Out, If You Reach Out, You Will Be Caught

"Look at this horse, did I draw it? When did I draw it so well... What, sir, what did you just say?"

Cheng Nuo cleared his throat, and re-introduced: "I said Xiaowan, the booth of our Academy of Sciences is very big, and there are all talents in it, and they speak nicely. You can learn a lot by following them. They are not as good as them, what kind of master’s degree, doctor’s degree, there are a lot of them, undergraduates dare not speak loudly, and drink water is beaten behind their backs.”

I was quite happy to hear it at the front, but when I heard that the undergraduate salary was so poor, Wan Laiming felt very frightened: "First... sir, I just graduated from middle school and haven't gone to college. I really want to go in, don't you even talk? I'm not even qualified to say that."

In fact, after Cheng Nuo said those words, he regretted it. Apart from anything else, he himself is an undergraduate. Although there are historical reasons, his education can't fool people, but in order to coax people into it, he continued brazenly. Let's go on.

Unexpectedly, he was about to shoot himself in the foot with a stone, so Cheng Nuo hurried to make up for it: "Don't worry, Xiaowan, the reason why they dare not speak loudly is because they don't want to disturb other people's study. Our study atmosphere is very strong, especially For a little brother like you who graduated from middle school, everyone is very willing to lend a helping hand to you."

Thinking about the highest education in my life is a bachelor, I didn't expect that there are masters, doctors and so on. If I go in, my father will be able to straighten his back in the future, and he will be very moved: "Sir, I I am good at drawing, and I only know how to draw, so the Academy of Sciences is supposed to be engaged in scientific research, what can I do in the past?"

Cheng Nuo laughed after hearing this. In his opinion, this question is nothing. As long as he is willing to open his mouth, there is no place where he can't block people, not to mention that the other party is really a talent he is in urgent need of.

"It's like this. In order to pass on the spirit of Mr. Sai to more Chinese people, our Academy of Sciences has specially created two magazines, one is called "National" and the other is called "Youth". Considering that some knowledge is relatively obscure , We have created a special column to convey knowledge in the form of painting, you know, it is difficult to use one mind at the same time, they are good at learning, but painting is really blind."

Fearing that Wan Laiming would not believe it, Cheng Nuo turned to the first page of the old book, which was the page with his "sick" horse, pointed at it and laughed at himself: "See, it's so ugly, they don't want to If you can’t draw it, I’m still the best in it, and with your skills, if you go in, you will be listed as a guest of honor by them.”

Hearing this, Wan Laiming finally breathed a sigh of relief, and let go of the hanging heart: "Okay, I will work hard when I go there, and seize all the time to learn from you."

Cheng Nuo said with a smile, "It's worth encouraging to keep your learning spirit, but you have to choose your learning goals well. For example, I can't do it. The pictures I draw make people poke their eyes out. It's too horrible to look at."

The mentality of Cheng Nuo's two or three words immediately calmed down a lot, and the tension in his heart was completely dispelled, and he was full of confidence in the future again.

Optimizing that the words are almost finished, Cheng Nuo deliberately added: "However, you must always remind yourself of what you are good at and what you want. My purpose is to let you get in touch with more masters and more cutting-edge experts through the journals of the Academy of Sciences." technology to make good use of these resources.”

This candle was almost burned, Cheng Nuo lit another candle, held it at an angle to let the wax drip onto the table, and set the new candle up before it solidified.

At the same time, two candles were lit, and the room suddenly became brighter. With the help of Guang Chengnuo, he took out the old book and quickly flipped through the pictures again. The Great Sage appeared in front of the two of them again on a horse.

"Just like this, animation should not only have simple lines, but also have mountains, water, backgrounds, flowers and trees, and people of all ages can join in.

At the same time, we should not only be satisfied with black and white two-color, we need to add more colors, such as goose yellow, green onion, begonia, indigo, copper green and other Chinese colors, to make this picture lively and cheerful. "

Having said that, Cheng Nuo deliberately paused and asked, "If we do these two things, will the animation be enough?"

At present, many American silent films have been passed on, and they have gradually become one of the daily entertainment methods of many Shanghai residents. Although Wan Laiming has no money to watch them, he still has some understanding of these things.

Biting his lip and thinking for a while, Wan Laiming replied: "There are no color videos from the United States. If we can do these two things, it will be very good."

When it comes to the development of color movies, it will be introduced into the market around 1930, and the first color movie recognized in film history will be "Flastic World" in 1935, which is very far away from the era of Cheng Nuo and others.

In terms of animated films, the first animated color film was Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", which was released in 1937. At a cost of US$150 million, the first round of release earned US$800 million, and the final box office revenue was US$4.16 million. , is definitely the best example of small and big, so far establishing Disney's dynasty status.

You know, this is 20 million US dollars in the early 4th century, which is different from the 4 million US dollars in Cheng Nuo's previous life.

After hearing Wan Laiming's answer, Cheng Nuo was a little disappointed, but considering that not everyone has the vision of transcending the times, he can think so far because of the blessing of time travel. If he is a local, he might not be as good as others.

Shaking his head, Cheng Nuo said, "It's not enough just to achieve rich lines and colorful pictures, just like our life, can you accept the life of deafness?"

Wan Laiming was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses and said in disbelief: "You said we can't add color to the animation, but also add sound?"

Cheng Nuo was full of pride: "If we want to do it, we will do our best, and if we want to produce it, we will only produce high-quality products. If we don't make a name for ten years, if we don't make a song, we will be done. It will be a blockbuster!"

Pointing at the high and low candles, Cheng Nuo continued, "Just like the two of them, the former burns out immediately, while the latter takes over the flame and still releases youth. Our culture is also the same, from the bonfire before to the middle." candles, and then to the oil lamps behind, the torch has been passed down from generation to generation without interruption. Now that we have electric lights, we should have the responsibility to make their light shine even bigger."

After saying this, the flame of the first candle, which was about the size of a broad bean, was completely extinguished, and the new candle became brighter instantly as if it had been inspired.

Wan Laiming was thoughtful, and put all the solidified wax that dripped on the table into the new candle, watching it burn out, and the last trace of the old candle in this world was also erased.

"Sir, I understand, I will work hard later."

Cheng Nuo nodded in relief: "Very well, but don't put so much pressure on yourself. You are still young and you still have a long way to go. Besides, there are so many people from our Academy of Sciences behind you to support you."

Unexpectedly, Wan Laiming suddenly said: "Sir, you are right, I can't do it alone, so can I apply to you, I want to call more people here."

Cheng Nuo opened his mouth and answered, "Very well, there's no problem. Have you decided on a candidate? If you don't mind, I'll go there in person."

Wan Laiming was overjoyed, but at the same time he was a little shy: "I just thought about it, even my younger brothers, like me, like painting very much, and even have more talent than me."

Good guy, buy one get three free?

If it was someone else, Cheng Nuo might have hesitated for a while, but thinking of the classic combination of the Wan brothers, he agreed quite reluctantly.

But considering that it would be too abnormal to agree directly, he pretended to hesitate and said, "This...let me think about it."

Having said that, Wan Laiming gritted his teeth and continued, "Forget it, let them learn other things later, and follow his elder brother and me to learn painting. I'm afraid they will starve to death."

Cheng Nuo saw that it was almost time, so he hurriedly said, "You don't want to avoid relatives, and we can work faster with more helpers. Since you already have a basis for cooperation, for your sake, let's call them together. "

Wan Laiming was full of joy, full of the urge to die for his confidant, he patted his chest and repeatedly reassured: "Don't worry, sir, if they make any mistakes, I, the first big brother, will not be able to spare them!"

Cheng Nuo encouraged: "Young people, you should make more breakthroughs. I believe you can grasp the future of animation."

Ever since, Cheng Nuo recruited the Wan brothers, the originator of Chinese animation, to start the animation business ahead of schedule.

Lack of funds, find Jiang Jiangzuo.

Lack of technology, find Tesla.

As for Cheng Nuo, the titular dean, of course he has to be busy recruiting more people.

What is most important in the 20th century, the answer is talent.

Just as Cheng Nuo was imagining, Wan Laiming had already tidied up the meeting place, holding the extinguished candle in his hand, he always felt that it was a bit weird.

"Sir, where did you get this candle?"

Cheng Nuo was puzzled and said, "It was brought from the venue next door. I saw a lot of candles at the door, so I just took them here."

Wan Laiming held back his laughter, turned to look at the wax body, and saw the golden word "囍" hot on it.

Cheng Nuo immediately felt his head buzzing. Unbelieving, he walked to the venue next door. The word "囍" was pasted all over the outside, which was used for a new-style wedding arrangement.

"Sir, what do you think we should do, should we return it?"

"What are you paying back? We've used up so much, can newcomers continue to use our second-hand products?"

"then what should we do?"

"What else can I do, put more money, and treat it as a follower, be happy, and see how I messed up this matter."

Not to mention, after finishing the money, there is really a happy event coming to your door.

Early the next morning, two tall, thin young men were standing in front of the original bazaar, both in suits.

With a big back, Wang Zhu looked at the venue full of "囍", Wang Zhu was confused: "Yunhua, we must have come to the wrong place, this looks like a place for marriage, not like an auction , the newlyweds immediately stepped out of the sedan chair, and the candles were all lit."

Combing in fours and sixes, Bayuzao's face was covered with question marks, as if he didn't dare to confirm it, then he looked at the note in his hand, hesitantly said: "This is the address they gave, we are sure we have gone the right way. "

Wang Zhu said that he stretched his head over to look at the note: "Could you think that 6 is 9? In this way, the difference will be huge."

Seeing that his friend didn't believe it, Bayuzao passed the note over: "You still don't believe me, this note is clearly written on it, how could you read it wrong, why don't you come and look carefully at the house number, look at me Is there any mistake?"

The note was handed over, but he was really angry, Wang Zhu would not be really stupid to take the note: "Didn't I just say that, I guess we are late, why don't I go over and ask?" ask?"

Bayuzao nodded: "It's not a solution for us to fiddle with it ourselves, it's better to ask in the past."

As expected, the bazaar ended yesterday. They misremembered the date of the last day and missed it.

They ran all the way here, but ended in failure, which made the two of them a little disappointed. They originally wanted to go back like this.

Unexpectedly, the relatives and friends of the newlyweds were very enthusiastic. Seeing that they were well-dressed, they were not ordinary people at first glance. They were handsome, so they were even more enthusiastic.

"Uncle and aunt, we are not locals, and we don't know the newcomers, so I am really embarrassed to sit down."

"It's okay, who knows each other by nature, we will know each other after sitting down."

"But we don't have any money, it's not good to just eat and drink for free."

"Hey, you didn't know each other before, so you don't need to spend any money, sit down and enjoy the joy. If you are really sorry, just go up and say a few words of blessing. By the way, do you two have a good relationship?" Marriage, there are several girls in my family, all of them are very delicate..."

To be honest, if the two young people really wanted to get mad and leave, the grandparents would not be able to stop them at all.

However, they are all kind, at least on the surface, which makes the two of them quite helpless, and the wedding scene of the new couple is a day of great joy, so it is really not easy to shake face.

Bayuzao quietly withdrew his hand from the aunt's hand, and said without a trace: "Auntie, my family has already made an agreement, and we are only getting engaged at the end of the year. I am really sorry."

Aunt feels a little regretful, but she still doesn't want to give up: "I heard that you just came back from a foreign country, and you don't know the situation in China, so you can have three wives and four concubines. There is a girl in my second sister's family. It’s pretty good, it’s better to get to know each other.”

The uncle was not to be outdone, and urged: "Isn't this not engaged yet? Everything is easy to talk about. Now it is different from the old society before. The emphasis is on free love. How do you know which pair of shoes fit your feet if you don't try a lot? "

Seeing that his friend couldn't beat those grandpas and aunts and was about to surrender, Wang Zhu covered his mouth with one hand, afraid of laughing out loud, but he couldn't continue to watch the fun, in case the grandpas and aunts were his next target, hurry up Stand up and surround him: "Auntie, did we have a bazaar before?"

The aunt was taken aback, and then said enthusiastically: "Yes, it just ended yesterday, you don't know, usually there are not many cars on the street, and the surrounding area was directly blocked that day, and the people who arranged the banquet almost couldn't get in. .”

Seeing that the attention of the elders and aunts was attracted, Wang Zhu added another handful of firewood: "Then it probably sold a lot?"

The aunt looked left and right, put the back of her hand to her mouth, and said in a low voice: "I heard that it was sold for a total of 20 oceans. If it is replaced by Yuan Datou, it will crush someone to death."

At this moment, the aunt picked up her finger and pointed out the door as if she had discovered some new continent.

"That's right, that's him. He was the person in charge of the bazaar yesterday. Not only is he handsome, but he is also talented. I heard that he is a professor at a university in Beijing..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bayuzao and Wang Zhu threw away the uncle and aunt, rushed out the door, and rushed towards the person outside the door.

The person outside the door was none other than Cheng Nuo.

Considering that I used other people's candles privately last night, although I gave money, I still felt sorry, so I went out early in the morning and bought a pair of identical candles to send over, the purpose is to make up for my mistakes.

It's just that I didn't expect two people to rush over as soon as the candles were delivered, and it was hard to talk when they looked so aggressive.

"A gentleman uses his mouth but doesn't move his hands. The two elder brothers should talk about it carefully. Let's not do it. It is unlucky to do it on a big day."

From Cheng Nuo's perspective, not only did the two people on the opposite side not give up, but they ran faster this way, and there seemed to be uncles and aunts behind them cheering, and it looked like they were really fighting.

"Fuck, even though I was the first to make a mistake, I have already given you money, and I even bought a pair of identical ones. You can't push your limits."

While talking, Cheng Nuo was also walking fast, afraid of being overtaken by these two people.

Bayuzao and Wang Zhu looked at each other, their faces full of confusion, why did they run up, but looking back at these old men and aunts, they understood for themselves.

It turns out that it is the same people who have fallen in the end of the world.

"Brother in front, don't run away, we are in the same group."

"Yeah, big brother, don't talk about it, we are looking for you for something, stop and let's talk about it."

Cheng Nuo secretly disdainful: Nonsense, who doesn't know that you have something to do with me, tell me to stop before using force, you are a fool if you don't run away.

At the same time, I was regretting in my heart. I should have put the matter of the janitor guards on the agenda earlier, and I couldn't delay it any longer. If something had to happen, it would be too late to regret it.

Just when he was distracted, he didn't notice that there was a living brick in front of him, and he fell to the ground directly under his feet.

This time, the distance between the people in front and behind was shortened in an instant, and while he was getting up, Ba and Wang also ran over, panting to hug Cheng Nuo and stop him from running away.

Cheng Nuo, who was in the misunderstanding, thought that he was about to attack and was about to fight back. He didn't expect that he easily threw him over his shoulder and fell on the bushes behind him.

Considering that it is better to untangle an enemy than to tie a knot, this over-the-shoulder throw just puts the person down, and even restrains the force when it is put down, so as not to break the person.

Even so, the strength needed to bring down two young adults in front and back will never be too small.

Looking at his hands, Cheng Nuo expressed disbelief. In the past, peace was the most important thing, but he didn't expect to use his hands, and his strength is not small. Although he can't use his strength to make a big move, it's a good thing, and his life safety will be more guaranteed in the future .

While he was still thinking about it, a trembling voice came from behind.

"We really have a serious business with you. It's not about getting married, having a banquet, or being a follower, and it has nothing to do with grandparents."

"I just missed yesterday's charity bazaar and couldn't take pictures. I wanted to come over to ask you to donate. It's such a simple matter, why bother?"

Seeing the other party's pitiful appearance, Cheng Nuo immediately regretted it. He really shouldn't have taken things from his compatriots without permission, otherwise there would be no such misunderstanding.

After inquiring about it later, it was even more incredible.

The two of them came back to China to build airplanes. If they broke it, it would be a serious crime.

Looking into the eyes of the two brothers, it was both apologetic and longing.
