Chapter 94 Light and Shadow Magic
After the visit, Mr. Zhao and the group board of directors arranged a grand lunch to entertain guests in the large banquet hall on the west side courtyard.
After two thousand guests sat down, the interns presented fragrant tea and hot cotton towels, and the maids began to hand over the dishes.
The guests were genuinely savoring fragrant tea and chatting casually waiting for the food to be served. Suddenly, the gray-black curtains slowly fell on several oversized floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides of the hall.
The curtains cover most of the sunlight, but do not affect everyone's sight, and can also vaguely reveal the scenery outside the window. I saw the bamboo forest swaying outside the window, sparse and dense, and the wind leaves a sound. Through the gently brushed curtain, it inadvertently becomes a flowing and timeless painting, which is unforgettable.
The melodious sound of the piano and the sound of the Xiao sound rang out in sequence, and a beautiful song "Remembering Jiangnan" was played in the banquet hall.
Everyone thought there would be some singing and dancing performance, but they found that the snow-white wall on the north side of the banquet hall suddenly lit up.
Then a light ink freehand Suzhou garden map appeared in front of everyone.
Amidst the low cry, the guests found that a bright beam of light was projected on the wall, creating the picture.
Even more incredible, there was still behind, someone suddenly stood up and exclaimed: "It's moving!"
People opened their eyes wide and saw the geese formation in the picture waving its wings and flying westward, as if they were alive!
"Mom!" Panic screams came one after another. Some guests were so scared that they wanted to burrow under the table, and some wanted to snatch the door and escape.
At this time, Hua Bozhen's sound that was amplified by a spring loudspeaker and seemed more magnetic.
"Please don't panic. This is an 'optical film machine' jointly invented by two disciples of the young master. We have carefully produced this five-minute animated short film to cheer up the show to enjoy the guests. Please enjoy this epoch-making magical light and shadow..."
The guests calmed down one after another. When they plucked up their courage to look at the bright scene, they saw that the geese formation had already flown to Yuantouzhu, Wuxi.
The melodious music and beautiful ink animation made all the knowledgeable guests silent and quickly immersed in this unprecedented visual impact.
They seemed to have become members of the geese formation, spreading their wings and flying high, and enjoying the beautiful rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River.
They saw Maoshan, Zhenjiang, Shaoxi Lake, Qinhuai scenery, and the shining Dabaoen Temple Tower.
Then the Yanzhen went south along the Yangtze River and took them to appreciate the Taibai Tomb of Xie Gong Temple in Dangtu and the Golden Pagoda of Jinghu Xiluo in Wuhu.
Then the geese turn eastward and fly to the bamboo sea in Nanshan in Liyang? The spring dawn of the willow dike in Yixing? The hundred waterfalls of the hidden dragons in Huzhou? The three pools in Hangzhou reflect the moon? The misty building of Nanhu in Jiaxing...
Finally, the geese flew to the vast Wusongkou? I saw a fleet of countless sailboats setting sail!
The geese flew over the fleet, climbing straight to the sky, and finally turned into two poems:
‘But Wu Lu is close to you? It’s like this thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River!’
The picture is frozen, the music is gradually stopping? But no one of the guests speaks? No one even moves, obviously still immersed in this unprecedented stunning shock...
~~
Where the beam of light came out? Xu Yuanchun stopped shaking the handle of the animation plate and then breathed a sigh of relief. He gently clapped Xu Weizhi, who was in charge of the lights, and both of them had a little shiny in their eyes, which were tears of joy.
They finally succeeded!
At this time, the two dead houses are gone? Oh no, two great 2D Creator Gods? It has been eighteen months since the day they decided to do animation.
In a year and a half, they were all white and black, and they spent a lot of money. I don’t know how many failures and detours they took before they could figure out this ‘optical film machine’.
It's really not easy...
If the two of them had known that this thing was so difficult, they would probably have lost the courage to become disciples.
In fact, before becoming a disciple, Xu Yuanchun made the world's first animation book by relying on a simple weird disk experiment in "Physical Knowledge"; the first three-dimensional weird disk "Zhuma Pan"; the first weird disk projector, and successfully projected a horse racing animation on the wall.
At that time, he had mastered all the technical principles needed to make optical film machines.
So after the two became disciples, they were full of confidence and felt that they could play cartoons for everyone in ten days and half a month at most.
The two poor kids don’t know that the research process from discovering theory to practical application is often long and painful.
They first tinkered around for several months, but there was no progress. But if they wanted to give up, the cost of sunk was too high. Wouldn't a few months be wasted?
The two had to patiently make up for the lessons from scratch. Under the guidance of their senior brothers, they finished "Elementary Mathematics" and "Elementary Physics", and then used the knowledge they learned to overcome difficulties bit by bit.
This time, the two of them first designed a table lamp-style movable mirror based on the "Qizhang" and "Zhuanxi". Above it is a candle holder lamp, which can provide lighting, and below is composed of two rotatable concentric rollers. The outer wall of the inner roller is surrounded by twelve small mirrors, and the inner wall of the outer roller is an animation pattern.
This makes the animation screen no longer dim, and reflects through the mirror, which can make the viewing angle clearer.
Then the two of them developed the "moving mirror movie" based on the moving mirror, which is the device that Zhao Hao puts cartoons on the fat man Zhu Yijun.
But that was just a transitional product. The two of them had completely entered the state. How could they stop improving?
Finally, last month, they completed a key step towards animated films. Based on the "active mirror movie", they added a slide device - two people removed the external rollers and placed light sources outside the rollers, allowing light to pass through the image belt, illuminated by the mirror of the inner cylinder, and then reflected to the projection device to project the pattern onto the wall.
This step is simple, how to use optical principles to set up the projection device? How to even get a bright and stable light source? They have made them think deeply.
Finally, they found that the brightest light and the smallest smell in the glass lamp were injected into the glass lamp. Then, with the lampshade lined with lenses to reflect light, it can significantly increase the brightness of the lamp and make the projected picture clearer.
Although it still cannot reflect the delicate fine brushwork, the projection freehand painting is completely fine, and there is unexpectedly a bit more bright and hazy texture...
"Good job." Zhao Hao patted the two of them on the shoulders and praised: "Looking forward to your next masterpiece being released."

"Yes, Master." The two of them burst into tears, and they finally got the master's recognition like their senior brothers.
It's so difficult for him. They thought they would be disliked by their master in their entire lives...
Little did they know that in Zhao Hao's eyes, they were the source of entertainment for the second half of their lives and the top propaganda machine. Mr. Zhao also wanted to set up an animation company for them, so how could he dislike them?
Everyone needs to be a useful person.
~~
Until the gray-black curtain slowly rose and the noon sunlight came into the banquet hall. The guests couldn't help but squint their eyes, and then reluctantly walked out of the fantasy world.
Many people have tears on their faces. But they themselves can't tell whether they were moved by the picture of the Thousand Miles of Jiangnan or were shocked by animation technology.
Maybe both.
At this time, Mr. Zhao appeared on the stage and gave a loud toast to everyone and said:
"Everyone, I just made a fool of myself, but the beautiful scenery of my thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River is real!"
"It's not a shame. We have never seen such a wonderful movie in our life!"
"That's right, it's a hundred times better than shadow puppets!"
"It's so beautiful. Can you invite two high-level players to come back?" the guests shouted.
"Haha, I'll ask everyone to enjoy the new video if I have the chance." In fact, it's just as shocking to play it again, but Mr. Zhao is used to being so enchanting. Only by leaving regrets can they never forget it. If they satisfy them, they will not be impressed.
Moreover, the first time I watched the animation screening, the impact on the guests was too great. If they did it again, they would have to be possessed, so how could they pay attention to Mr. Zhao’s noisyness?
"Oh..." The guests smiled awkwardly, "We are not satisfied."
"If you want this movie to be inspired by the beginning of the next year, you will walk all the places you just saw." Sure enough, only after temporarily stopping their thoughts will they focus on Zhao Hao's words.
"Yes, go together! Enjoy the beautiful rivers and mountains of my Jiangnan." Everyone was once again inspired by the idea of traveling. If you have money, just be willful. If you think about it, you will go out.
Zhao Hao raised his hand and the hall gradually became quiet.
"This beautiful Jiangnan is our home. It is the reason why we established Jiangnan Group. We want to build her, protect her, and make her a better place!"
"Okay!" Everyone cheered loudly. "Young Master said it well, why don't you love Jiangnan like this?"
"So how can we make our hometown a better place?" Zhao Hao changed his sentence: "I think it's about eliminating those unbeautiful things."
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
"Then what's not beautiful?" Zhao Hao raised his tone and said, "I think the greatest bad thing is 'poverty'. If there are too many poor people in our hometown, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will not become a country of etiquette and righteousness that you all pursue!"
In fact, the biggest disgrace is injustice, but the audience of Mr. Zhao’s speeches are obviously to give others unfairness. Talking to them about eliminating injustice is like talking about the same thing.
"..." Everyone was stunned and quickly listened to him continue to speak.
"The so-called 'If the granaries are full, you know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you know honor and disgrace'. Only by eliminating poverty, allowing the elderly to have a place to live, have a place to use, have a place to grow up, have a place to grow up, have a place to grow up, have a place to be widowed, have a place to be alone, have a place to be sick, have a place to be sick, have a place to be fed, have a place to be fed, have a place to be happy with the customs, have a place to be happy with the people of Jiangnan, can we have a hometown become a beautiful world. This is the ideal of Jiangnan Group!"
As he said that, he raised his glass and whispered to everyone: "I believe that with your support, we will definitely do it! Cheers!"
Chapter completed!
