Two-year full scholarship…
The key reason why Lawrence made such a big promise was simply to please Li Mu and to make up for the loss of his credibility in front of Li Mu.
Lawrence's promise made almost all the college students present feel extremely excited.
Everyone here knows very well what a graduate degree from Harvard means. With such a degree, you can basically become an elite within the immediate scope of the United States. With it as a face, you can enter society in the future. The rate of rise is normally much faster than that of the average person.
It is not easy to get admitted to Harvard as a graduate student, and even if you can get into it, the tuition and fees of tens of thousands of dollars a year and the high cost of living are astronomical figures that most Chinese families cannot afford. As for a full scholarship, then For most Harvard students, this is a pipe dream.
Now, as soon as Lawrence opened his mouth, he gave all the college students here a promise to be a Harvard graduate student. The weight of this promise is indeed of great significance to these young people who have dreams of studying abroad and Harvard.
Although Li Mu still had objections to Lawrence, objectively speaking, the attitude of apologizing and making amends was indeed quite sincere, and what Li Mu saw from this compensation plan was not just full scholarships for these exchange students; A new channel for educational resources.
Since Lawrence has the ability to promise direct admission and provide scholarships, as long as he is still at Harvard, he can send international students through him. If he sends dozens of domestic college students and master's students to Harvard every year to study for graduate school and doctoral studies, he can To a certain extent, some additional Harvard educational resources will be used.
In the future, if cousins like Xiao Hao, as well as other brothers and sisters, or even friends and employees, want to study at Harvard, I can easily solve it through Lawrence.
For Li Mu, although top educational resources like Harvard can be bought with money, if you buy them directly with money, the impact will be very bad. People naturally have some hatred of the rich. If rich people directly Using money in exchange for educational resources will inevitably encounter dissatisfaction and rejection from ordinary people.
After accepting Lawrence's overtures, Li Mu's attitude towards him became slightly better. In front of everyone, he said to Lawrence: "On behalf of all the Renmin University classmates, I would like to thank President Lawrence for his kindness. I think that in the future, Harvard and Renmin University will The exchanges and cooperation between the two countries can continue and even become bigger and bigger."
Li Mu's attitude suddenly softened, which made Lawrence's eyes light up, and his mood suddenly improved, and he said: "I also think that the exchanges and cooperation between the two universities can continue. In the next half of the school year, we will definitely work with the Renmin University again." Conduct an exchange student activity to allow more Renmin University students to come to the United States to experience Harvard University, and also allow more Harvard students to go to China to experience the charm of Renmin University!"
Li Mu nodded slightly. This Lawrence was indeed a good man. He knew that he was wrong and could correct it immediately if he knew where the mistake was. Such a person was always worth giving him another chance.
So, Li Mu deliberately said to Dong Ai in English: "Dong Ai, you must pay more attention to the 3321 American station and complete this project wholeheartedly!"
Dong Ai immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely do it."
Lawrence finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Li Mu had forgiven him.
…
After having a dinner with Renmin University alumni, Li Mu was arranged to stay in a hotel on Harvard campus. Although the hotel was small, the standards were very high, the management was very strict, and the environment was extremely quiet.
In the evening, Li Ziwei went to Li Mu's room to communicate with Li Mu about the next itinerary. According to the plan, Li Mu would fly back to San Francisco at noon tomorrow. But this time, Li Mu would not go back to Silicon Valley, but go directly to Wei Lan's parents' home. He was a guest at home and left with Wei Lan the next day.
After leaving San Francisco, Los Angeles, went to Hollywood to meet Spielberg.
The day after tomorrow, Li Mu and Spielberg will attend the launch conference of the "Flying Tigers" movie project together in the afternoon to officially announce the official launch of the movie.
Li Mu believes that with the participation of himself and Spielberg, the participation of two first-line actors, Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio, and the investment of over 100 million US dollars, the "Flying Tigers" project will definitely be popular in Hollywood and China once it is released. It caused a huge shock in the film industry, and even in the film industry around the world.
The fictional "The Last Samurai" has just been hacked and turned into a piece of stinky shit. A movie like "Flying Tigers" that mostly follows real history and a small part is adapted from film and television will definitely be favored by the vast majority of viewers.
After Li Ziwei and Li Mu discussed their itinerary, they chatted with Li Mu about the situation of "Flying Tigers" and couldn't help but ask Li Mu: "Mr. Li, are you going to be responsible for the Chinese casting of the movie "Flying Tigers"?" Who is responsible?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Why do you think of asking this question?"
Li Ziwei said: "I think no matter who is in charge, Chinese actors will definitely try their best to find him a role, because this movie will definitely create a history in the Chinese film industry. As an actor, everyone I want to seize this opportunity.”
Li Mu smiled and said: "Except for Du Wei, let Director Spielberg decide on the other actors."
Li Ziwei said seriously: "I think you should personally control the selection of Chinese actors. Foreigners have a problem with our Chinese people's aesthetics."
Li Mu asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"
Li Ziwei smiled and said: "To be honest, when we Chinese people look at Westerners, most of them can tell that they are good and ugly. Westerners who we think are beautiful also think they are beautiful. But when Westerners look at us Chinese, then They really don’t dare to compliment them because they think beautiful Chinese people, but we Chinese people feel awkward looking at them.”
"It makes sense..." Li Mu carefully considered Li Ziwei's words and found that this was indeed the case.
Whether it is Hollywood, the fashion industry, or the West as a whole, they seem to have some problems with the aesthetics of Eastern women. Sometimes the super Eastern beauties in their eyes are so ugly that Li Mu cannot bear to look at them. If the aesthetics are not on the same line, Then it may also have some impact on the casting process.
It stands to reason that letting Spielberg choose the roles will definitely be closer to the perspective of Hollywood and even the entire Western world. However, Li Mu and more Chinese and Orientals may not like the characters selected, so what Li Ziwei said makes sense. , if you choose the role yourself, you can better adapt to the aesthetics of Eastern people.
