The next day, Li Yu found the American Victory Records and invited them to come over and record the record. The record company heard that they could show it to Cixi, so of course they were happy to do it.
As for the shooting, it was actually not too difficult, except that Liu Zhonglun, who was in charge of photography, was very nervous.
Today's cameras are very backward and need to be hand-cranked, and the speed needs to be controlled by the photographer, so it is not easy. It can be said that the biggest pressure is on Liu Zhonglun.
Everyone in later generations knows that movies have 24 frames per second, that is, 24 frames. However, in the early days, it was often less than 24 frames, between 16 and 23 frames.
But there is no fixed formula, and many times it is limited by the poor film quality. A single frame is too blurry. We can only work hard on the quantity to reach more than 40 frames per second. In this way, even if a single frame is blurry, the overall effect is still Clear.
In short, the film technology at this time was very primitive, and there were various methods. At present, Fengtai Photo Studio is new to film shooting, so the quality of the film used is quite average.
Tan Xinpei had already changed into costumes. Since the time was too short, he decisively chose the wonderful excerpts from "Dingjun Mountain". The story is roughly about Tan Xinpei playing the role of Huang Zhong, the Five Tigers of Shu. In 219 AD, Liu Bei attacked Hanzhong. At Dingjun Mountain, Huang Zhong personally beheaded several Cao generals. When the famous Wei general Xia Houyuan was resting under his horse, he took advantage of his unpreparedness and cut him into two pieces. Since then, Cao's army was defeated and Huang Zhong became famous.
Later Huang Zhong was promoted to the general of Zhengxi. The image is also more suitable for Tan Xinpei at this time. Ren Qingtai told Liu Zhonglun: "Control the rhythm. A box of film must be shot for 10 minutes." Tan Xinpei asked: "Can we start?" At this time, there was no
With the word "a", Ren Qingtai said: "Let's begin, please, Mr. Tan!" The aria was Tan Xinpei's best at inviting tassels, dancing with swords, and fighting each other, showing Huang Zhong's true character of loyalty and bravery in every gesture.
Unexpectedly, Tan Xinpei was singing enthusiastically, and Liu Zhonglun suddenly said bitterly: "The film is gone."
"No more?" Ren Qingtai asked in surprise,
"How long has it been!" Liu Zhonglun said: "I was a little nervous just now, and I cranked my hand too fast." Ren Qingtai sighed: "Okay, it's the first time anyway." Then he stopped Tan Xinpei: "Master Tan, thank you for your work...right? Stay, we will continue tomorrow." Tan Xinpei asked: "How many more times do we need to sing?" Ren Qingtai said: "Three days at most, it won't take too long." In fact, this movie is not like "The Great Train" made by Edison in the United States. A movie in the true sense of "The Robbery" has a script, props, and relatively large scenes.
"Dingjun Mountain" is more like a simply shot documentary, recording images of early Beijing opera. When it finally took three days to shoot, several gramophone records were used, and Victory Records had to take the master copy for recording.
Since the gramophone record cannot be modified, the beginning and end positions of the film can only be controlled based on the sound recorded by the phonograph.
Naturally, everyone had to wait for the recording by Shengli Records, and Li Yu happened to go to give Guangxu another lesson.
My previous trip to the United States resulted in me missing a lot of courses, so I had to make up for it for Guangxu. But it's okay, because Guangxu's purpose is not to learn, but mainly to learn Western science and gain knowledge, so that he won't make jokes when he meets foreign envoys in the future, so the content of the lecture is actually very casual.
After arriving at Xiyuan, he still had to be accompanied by trusted eunuchs selected by Cixi. It was Li Lianying and his sister Li Lianwu who came today.
Li Yu asked curiously: "Manager Li wants to go in person?" Li Lianying glanced at Li Yu's head: "No wonder Master Rong is angry, look at you like this, you are so ugly!" Li Yu smiled awkwardly,
"Just get used to it." He was too lazy to explain to Li Lianying. Li Lianying said: "My sister is going to deliver food today." Li Yu couldn't say much, so they went to Yingtai together.
When they arrived at the bridge, Li Lianying whispered to Li Lianwu: "Sister, you can find a way to be intimate with the emperor. The emperor has not had sex for more than half a year. What if..." Li Yu overheard and almost dropped his jaw. Li Lianying was really bold. , actually let his sister seduce Guangxu!
Guangxu has never had an heir, and many people actually have secret intentions. If he suddenly has an heir, it is really possible for him to become famous.
Although it was a risky move, considering that Li Lianying was Cixi's person anyway, he knew the huge rift between Guangxu and Cixi. Once Cixi left and Guangxu returned to power, he would be doomed to be a back-party like him. .
As for the so-called rule that the emperor cannot marry Han women, Cixi has already broken the ancestral rules anyway, and at worst, she will carry the flag for her own family in the future.
Li Lianying had a lot of wishful thinking, but he didn't think about how much he could understand about men and women when he was purified at the age of seven. It was really fantastic.
Li Lianwu was equally good at playing tricks, so she said, "I know, so I put on heavy makeup today." It would have been better if she didn't put on makeup. This typical makeup of a court woman in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China is really not good-looking, and her face is so smeared. It's super white, and looks like a ghost when you see it at night.
There are also small cherry slits on the mouth, which makes it even more weird. Li Yu couldn't accept this aesthetic anyway. Li Lianwu came to Yingtai with Li Yu carrying the food box. After Guangxu took it, Li Lianwu unexpectedly
She winked "charmingly". Guangxu felt as if he was struck by lightning, but he seemed to be frightened.
"What does this mean? Are there any hands or feet in the food box?" Li Lianying said quickly: "Your Majesty, my sister can stay in the palace tonight." Guangxu immediately understood what Li Lianying meant and said angrily: "Bold! The eunuch's sister, You have such unreasonable thoughts!" Li Lianying felt very embarrassed on her face: "The old slave just thinks that the emperor is lonely and unbearable, so it is not a bad idea to ask my sister to stay with the emperor for a short time to relieve his fatigue." Guangxu was so angry that he threw away the food box Throwing it out: "Bold slave, you dare to speculate on your superior's intentions, that's all you can say!" Li Lianying quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This old slave only has good intentions and has no intention to deceive the emperor."
"Get out, get out of here!" Guangxu cursed hysterically. Li Lianying hurriedly took her sister Li Lianwu and fled Yingtai.
Guangxu was so angry that Li Yu didn't succeed in his class, but Guangxu said kindly to Li Yu: "I'm not in the mood today, I'll study another day." He walked to the window alone, stared out the window and started to be in a daze Li Yu knew that as soon as he started to be in a daze, it would last for a long time. He had no choice but to leave today's lecture notes and leave.
——While there was a farce here, Li Yu's paper on game theory was finally released in Europe and the United States through "sce".
It has been published in China earlier, but there are not many people in China who are literate, let alone those who understand mathematical sciences.
Fortunately, this book is not very difficult, and many of its contents are very similar to logic, so the effect of its publication is a bit like the "Tianyan Lun" translated by Yan Fu.
"Tianyan Lun" is a political treatise, but its connotation is still the theory of evolution, so it has a great impact.
Li Yu's game theory is somewhat hard-core, and domestic readers may be a bit confused by the mathematical logic analysis. Fortunately, Li Yu first quoted some stories in Chinese history at the beginning, such as the story of the three concubines dividing the gold and Tian Ji's horse racing. , to reduce the difficulty of reading, and then proceed from the shallower to the deeper.
It's just that even if you go from the shallower to the deeper, the latter part is always inseparable from the mathematical content, so most domestic readers can only understand the first small part.
But the readers who saw it really liked it, especially in the school, where many people studied several game models proposed in the book together.
As for Europe and the United States, the effect is much greater. Most of the content of this issue of "sce" is Li Yu's game theory, and a separate book was also published later.
Readers have also discussed it a lot, and many people have sent letters to the editorial department of "sce" and the Commercial Press to discuss the game issues.
Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, Li Yu published the famous Three Gods Issue through domestic newspapers such as Shenbao and Ta Kung Pao, as well as the American newspaper Le Monde.
It is a question that is known as the most difficult logic question and is also very short. And different from what he has mentioned in his previous game theory books
The "road of life and death" problem is: a road of life and a road of death, with two gods guarding the intersection; one god only tells the truth, and the other only tells lies, but you are not sure which one is the true god and which one is the false god.
I can only ask one question, how to find a way out. The correct question for analysis is to ask: "If the way to life is on the left, which way do you think another god would say is the way to live." Whether it is a true god or a false god, they will all point to the same side, just choose the other side.
The three-god problem requires a lot of brain-burning. Just like the three-body problem, with one more god, the complexity increases a lot.
The problem of the three gods is this: "The true God tells the truth, the false God tells lies, and the willful God may tell the truth or lie; the three gods can only say a and b, but we don't know what a and b mean. Know that the two have opposite meanings. Please use three sentences to find out the true God and the false God." IQ tests were also very popular in the early 20th century. After that, many newspapers even launched Sudoku games, and many people bought them. The first thing the newspaper did was to create the Sudoku question above.
"Le Monde" really understands marketing. It did its own research and found that it could not solve the three-god problem, so it set up a small prize. The first person to give the answer can win $500.
The award is not big, but it is almost half a year's salary of an ordinary salaryman, so many people rush to buy the newspaper.
The circulation of "Le Monde" has increased significantly. This is just for newspapers. After seeing game theory, many people in mathematical science circles understand the mysteries of it better.
Hilbert is now paying more attention to Li Yu. After receiving the game theory, he praised it directly: "This will be a theory that will sweep the world more than "Fractals and Chaos"!" Mathematicians' research on this is indeed more critical, among which the most important The interesting one is undoubtedly the British Russell.
Russell was of aristocratic origin and had completed his studies at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he became a fellow.
When he got this game theory book, he was immediately attracted by the various models in it.
"It's interesting. Only people with extremely flexible and ethereal minds can write such excellent things." Russell began to take notes while reading, and personally performed each model in it.
Russell spent a few days immersed in his study, studying game theory intently. After he finished reading, some ideas in his mind continued to collide.
Game theory actually has many fragments for a long time, including many ancient works such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", which are all game theory, because they also study the issue of winning and losing.
However, early game theory only stayed in playing chess, playing cards, and even gambling, and did not develop into theory.
Since then, Zermelo, Borel, von Neumann, Morgenstern and others have made considerable contributions to game theory, such as proving the basic principles of game theory. However, it was not until John Nash that the unification was completed. .
At this time, after Russell saw the mathematical proof theory of game theory given by Li Yu, he increasingly thought of a question, or a paradox, that he had been thinking about for many years: a barber in a certain village announced such a principle. : He shaves all the people who don’t shave themselves, and only shaves the faces of such people in the village.
The paradoxical nature of this situation is recognized when one tries to answer the following question: "Does the barber shave himself?" If he does not shave himself, then he should in principle shave himself; if he shaves himself If he shaves his face, then he is not in accordance with his principles.
This is also the famous
"The Barber's Paradox," or
"Russell's Paradox", of course, has a more mathematical expression, mainly targeting set theory in mathematics.
And this seemingly small problem will completely detonate
“The Third Crisis of Mathematics.”
