Chapter 914: Science fiction is very important

Yang Panpan really isn't alarmist.

Compared to young people, adults' ability to accept new things has a gap as vast as a chasm.

Young people may have already integrated new things into their lives, while adults still see them as useless.

The result is, the Yangtze's later waves push the earlier ones, and the earlier waves die on the beach.

So the teacher said, the world is yours and also ours, but ultimately it belongs to you.

You are the young people, the teenagers.

The only advantage adults have over young people is their control of resources.

I really don't know if a stubborn sister like Lu Er can change.

But for Lu Er herself, this isn't a problem.

People say great talent matures late; I know where my shortcomings are, so why can't I still succeed?

Don't worry; I may be slow, but once I set my mind on a path, I won't let go.

If one year doesn't work, try two; if two years don't work, try three.

It will surely succeed.

Besides, I don't dare hope to become a big star; I just want to achieve something.

I know many seniors who have always played supporting roles, and I think that's already impressive.

She is truly content; she wants to change, perhaps just to improve her acting ability.

Yang Panpan continues the interview.

What kind of role do you think you're best at playing?

What role?

Lu Er is a bit lost.

I feel like I can do anything.

Yang Panpan again starts to comment on state affairs.

My maternal grandfather often says, you can do everything but nothing well.

I think you should find a direction and then work hard to cultivate it deeply.

Lu Er truly doesn't know; seeing Yang Panpan full of confidence, she asks.

I truly don't know; miss, can you point me in a direction?

Haha.

Yang Panpan coughs.

Hmm, this type? I have some ideas.

Look at Daxia—what kind of content are they filming now?

Palace intrigue, tomb raiding, workplace, historical, melodrama, romance—even everything can be romance…

What the heck are these things?

What era is this? There's no spirit of exploration at all.

What good can it bring to society?

My maternal grandfather says these are all poisonous milk-head pleasure.

I think so too.

I once asked my maternal grandfather what we should film.

My maternal grandfather said, 'What to film? Look at Yingjiang.'

Afterwards I watched a lot of Yingjiang TV dramas.

Then I discovered a problem.

Yingjiang's content is full of fantasy.

Moreover, it's scientific fantasy.

Like Star Trek, Doctor Who, even cartoons have Rick and Morty.

The latest Wool even more deeply considers the world after nuclear war.

To be honest, after seeing that TV drama and web drama and comparing them with our own, I felt a deep gap.

Why do they produce scientists, people like Ma Yilong and Steve, such world-changing entrepreneurs?

Because their cultural atmosphere constantly influences them.

They are full of scientific fantasy and thought.

This gap is too huge.

After watching others' TV dramas, I can't bear to watch Daxia's.

Fantasy? Palace intrigue? Alternate history? Martial arts—what use are they?

Still 'one sword opens heaven'? If you changed it to a ray weapon that tears apart the sky, I'd still feel it has some use.

Once she starts talking, she can't control her mouth.

Yang Qing still has a great influence on her.

I can't understand why Daxia's entertainment industry is like this.

I've racked my brains and still can't figure it out.

Later I asked my maternal grandfather.

My maternal grandfather said, this is 'blessing-and-longevity cake milk-head pleasure'; part of the reason is ourselves, because society doesn't value science and sociology research.

Another reason is that foreign countries want us to consume more of these poisonous milk-head pleasures, making our whole group addicted to this environment, wearing down our overall competitiveness.

At first I thought my maternal grandfather was a bit exaggerated.

"Later, I did some investigation."

"I found that this is true; almost all cultural entertainment industries unknowingly neglect the creation of technology and science‑fiction works."

"In all these years we only produced one Da Liu, and then we became complacent, as if we were so impressive, yet not a single person has vigorously promoted the creation of science‑fiction works!"

"I also checked online literature; in the early years, science‑fiction also produced a large number of high‑quality works."

"But in recent years, science‑fiction has become increasingly niche and increasingly powerless."

"It's tragic; this is the sorrow of the whole society."

Lu Er looked at Yang Panpan's indignant expression and quickly comforted her.

"Are you trying to make me turn to science‑fiction? You're being petty; I'll agree."

"Starting tomorrow, I'll study science‑fiction works."

Yang Panpan felt that she had been a bit too emotional just now.

She reined in her emotions.

Live Broadcast Room.

"Damn, Yang Panpan can't be telling the truth, right? Are those shitty things now because of the West?"

"I feel the Yang Family is making the next big move."

"I heard that behind Qiongzhou's vigorous promotion of the cultural entertainment industry is the Yang Family's leadership."

"I found that Yang Panpan is absolutely right; what are we chasing every day? Others pursue various edutainment."

"To be honest, watching the TV dramas that Yang Panpan talks about is exhausting."

"But they themselves understand it."

"That means their overall technological environment is indeed stronger than ours."

"Everyone talks about industrial upgrading, yet no one pays attention to this aspect."

"What else can it be? We're good at producing workers, not at producing scientists."

"We really should pay attention…"

"Nonsense; foreigners also make ghost and monster films, have filmed tomb‑raiding, and have bubble dramas."

"We should have at least that, right? Do we have it?"

"Yeah, I'm also puzzled; we have so many university students, so theoretically our overall market base should be decent, yet why are Daxia's science‑fiction works so few, and why is the public's acceptance so low?"

"Maybe it's because we've never truly guided science; our education is only for employment!"

"I'm a university student, I have something to say: I feel this phenomenon arises because we have never possessed a complete scientific outlook."

"A scientific outlook is a very important concept; only those who have a scientific outlook can develop a strong interest in exploring the secrets of the world."

"And this scientific outlook is formed during adolescence."

"At that time, we were undergoing exam‑oriented education."

"Our imagination and curiosity were gradually worn down at that time."

"Perhaps our education really has a problem…"
