Chapter 403: Film Lesson Plans and Publicity
Images transmit more than text. A person may not be literate, but his ability to imitate and understand is not necessarily poor.
The source of knowledge is not limited to books, books are only the accumulation and synthesis of the experience of predecessors, many big characters are illiterate, and the accumulated heritage of people who have gone through the wind and rain is sometimes richer than those who die reading. Nature is a book, and society is also a book.
It's just that under the condition that it is impossible to teach by hand, the popularization of books and the inheritance of surnames are more suitable for the needs of the public than oral teaching.
But even a book needs someone to explain and guide it.
Literacy does not mean that you can know something by knowing a few hundred words. There are many people who have been confined to small mountain villages for several lifetimes. Teachers who don't explain can't understand some of the content with books alone. And there is a shortage of teachers in China.
Sometimes talent is not only the pursuit of quantity, but also needs some high-end talents in various industries to innovate in the future. But there are few high-end talents in Huaxia now, so even those middle school graduates, Meng Xiang also selected some for them to continue their studies. Either go to the universities where the enrollment has been expanded, or send them directly to study abroad.
Many people also have to help make compulsory education universal while continuing their studies.
Compulsory education began all at once, and the number of teachers needed was enormous. The personnel in the hands of the vanguard army were able to maintain compulsory education in the SAR, but it was barely enough to maintain compulsory education in the 7th theater and on all the territories occupied by the vanguard.
After the implementation of compulsory education, the number of students enrolled in the school suddenly reached more than 10 million, and with the expansion of the territory, it is still moving towards 20 million. The main reason is that there are too many school-age children who have not gone to school in the past, and with the start of the new semester, if they are forced to enroll all of a sudden, a huge tide will definitely gather to crush the education system of the vanguard.
You must know that more than 10 million people, most of them are first-year freshmen. And from six to fifteen years old, the age gap is too big.
For this reason, this crowd was specially divided into three parts.
Only children over the age of 10 are enrolled in the first year, the remaining children over the age of 8 are enrolled in the second year, and the rest of the children who have reverted to the age of 6 are enrolled in the third year.
Even so, the number of teachers is still insufficient. For this reason, even Mr. Private School was recruited to be an enlightenment teacher. The level of teachers is uneven, and there are many things that even teachers don't know, let alone teach students.
The clones are all literate, and they can directly understand traditional Chinese characters after concoction, but their teaching level is really poor. It is okay to use it in the army to eradicate the literacy of soldiers, but it is used to teach children in compulsory education, even Meng Xiang is not at ease. Who knows what these little kids will look like in the future?
So even those college students have the same task of teaching. And the teacher's teaching time has also been greatly extended. But there is always a limit.
So, after thinking about it for a long time, Meng Xiang adopted film teaching.
The projectors at the base are cheap and of the same quality. And all the schools near the county town have been connected to electricity. Even in remote areas where there is no electricity, electricity can be delivered through diesel generators. Relative to the scarce talent, the machine can be massively manufactured on the base.
"Xingping, let's go! The next class is a joint class. Liu Shengyun trotted out of the classroom, while reminding Lin Xingping, who was still studying hard.
"That's it! Let's go! Lin Xingping lovingly smoothed out the textbook with his name written on it and put it into the coarse cloth schoolbag that his mother sewed for him.
Textbooks for students' main subjects are free of charge.
The number of books used by so many people is definitely a huge number, but fortunately, the vanguard army has made preparations and exerted enough strength to print, and a large number of papers and machines are imported from Soviet Russia, the United States, Canada and other places. In order not to cause too much waste, except for the three main textbooks of Chinese and mathematics for students, other books need to be recycled and left for the next level for recycling.
At this time, the cost of compulsory education has become the bulk of financial expenditure, but Meng Xiang specially set aside a part of the special arms fund to subsidize and set up an education fund, plus the sales of education bonds and education lottery tickets are very good, and it has not caused too much burden on the finances.
In order to leave a good memory for the children, they have their own beloved textbooks, and the main textbooks are each handed. Along with the textbooks, two notebooks and two pencils were distributed.
That's all there is to it, if you want to get it in the future, you must get excellent results before you can receive the reward. In addition to the awards, in addition to the ranking, you can also get rewards if you have reached a certain number of credits. Rewards are not only limited to the results of the main course, but also music and art, and even social morality, labor skills, and health.
Although most of the rewards are bookbooks, pencils, and even pens and other stationery, in the eyes of children, they represent a kind of honor, and in the eyes of adults, these stationery can also save some expenses.
This time, the combined classroom was in a large military tent.
Compulsory education has increased dramatically, and it is not only teachers who are nervous, but also hardware facilities such as classrooms. After all, the construction of the fortress primary school was too slow, and it was not suitable to build houses in winter, so some temples, ancestral houses, and even grass houses were used. The vanguard also supported a number of tents. Although the number of tents produced in the base is limited, the tents are very simple to make, and the materials are not very short. The Pioneer Army's quilt factories also produced quite a few of their own. Although it is inferior to the military products made in the base, it is no problem for civilian use.
In addition, one of the disadvantages of film teaching is that the film needs to be played in a dark place, and it needs to be a wider place. Therefore, in addition to teaching outside at night, teaching and screening in a large tent during the day is also a way.
Lin Xingping looked around, and the students of the same level had already arrived. Everyone has a number plate in their fixed position, eliminating the scene of chaotic scramble for seats.
It didn't take long for everyone to arrive. There were only 200 people in attendance. After all, the tent is smaller, and compared to the more than 600 first-year freshmen in the school, they need to be divided into three parts to listen to the lecture.
Due to the large number of people, the inside of the tent seemed much warmer. It's much better than the two classes I had outside in the evening. Of course, when it's cold or snowy, you won't be able to go out for classes.
There was only one electric light overhead, and the dim light shone on the black head in front of him. The students are taking advantage of this short time to look through their textbooks. After a while, when the movie is played, the lights will go out, and in the dark, it is impossible to look at the book in comparison.
It wasn't long before the instructor started the lesson, the lights went out, and the distinctive sound of the projector began. As a pillar of light shone onto the curtain in front of us, the film teaching began.
The voice of the kind female teacher in the picture was very crisp, and the students in the tent were not loud, and Lin Xingping, who was sitting in the last row, could also hear it clearly. He listened intently, lest he miss a word. Now 13 years old, he cherishes this opportunity to learn. Although there is no restriction on the age of study, after the age of fifteen, the regulations on compulsory education are no longer mandatory, and students of this age are the labor force in the family. Naturally, another decade will not be wasted in school.
The images change from time to time, and just a teacher lecturing on the stage is not real audio-visual teaching. Animations, pictures, action images, etc. make the teaching more enriching and easier to attract children's interest.
"This is the car?" Lin Xingping saw all kinds of vehicles on the screen, including cars, trains, and ancient chariots, which were more vivid than the small carts in the village that he thought at the beginning.
"This train is amazing, it can pull so many things!" Liu Shengyun, who was also thirteen years old next to him, muttered in a low voice, his muttering was drowned out by the whistle of the train on the screen, otherwise, he would have been punished for speaking in class, and even beaten in the palm of his hand with a ring ruler.
However, Liu Shengyun's action was still seen by Gao Haowen, the teacher standing next to him, and couldn't help but glare at him.
Seeing Liu Shengyun shrinking his head and not daring to say anything more, he withdrew his gaze and continued to watch the screen.
"What a good thing these people say! It's much better than my teachers in the provincial capital at the time. Gao Haowen, who fulfilled the task of teaching support, couldn't help but admire.
He didn't know that for this set of movie lesson plans, Meng Xiang gathered thousands of people to complete it, including many big bulls. Whether it's a real person teaching a course, animation, or video, it all involves the efforts of many people who have decided over and over again. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a disgusting work, and this set of courses has not been outdated at all until twenty years later, and it is definitely a perfect classic.
With this set of lesson plans, the teacher's work is much easier. After watching the movie tutorial, students can ask questions about some things they don't understand. Those teachers can also improve their own level through this set of lesson plans. At the same time, there are also fewer cases where the level of teachers is too low and misleads people's children.
Of course, there are always students who don't study hard, but these are a minority after all, and most of the students are still very focused. The wonderful pictures of the movie are much better than the boring reading of textbooks by the teacher, and they can also attract the children's interest and broaden their horizons. Just like the network of later generations, another colorful world unfolded before their eyes.
Li Mucheng moved his waist, and the third class was completed.
"Tired, aren't you? Why don't I come in the evening? Gao Haowen said with a smile. It's very simple to make a projector, just learn it a few more times, and the projection work is usually done by these teachers themselves.
"No, you don't! My eldest apprentice has already left the school, and I still have to watch that kid at night! Li Mucheng said with a smile.
When night fell, the people of the surrounding villages finished their dinner and carried their benches to the threshing floor where the primary school was located.
Wang Jinbao also started fiddling with the projector early.
Fifteen-year-old Wang Jinbao regretted that he did not receive compulsory compulsory education, his father died early, his mother was sick, and he could not enter the classroom again after he had already been the pillar of the family. It is not enough to rely on the subsistence allowance alone, and the mother still needs a lot of money for treatment. He is the only one who cultivates the family's land. Maybe next year, after turning sixteen, he will be able to join the Vanguard. When the time comes, the situation at home will be much better.
But being a soldier in the vanguard army also needs to know more words to be successful. So Wang Jinbao likes to go to school to make up when he has nothing to do. Children from Qili and Eight Villages come to their primary school in Daliushu Village. When he is not busy, it is more convenient for him to listen to the nearest class.
Li Mucheng also found the child squatting outside the window on a cold day to listen to the class.
After learning about his situation, he asked Wang Jinbao to also enter the class. The school of the vanguard army does not cost money, and the lectures are naturally listened to casually, even those adults, as long as they are willing to learn, they can also listen to the lectures. In some places, there are examples of fathers and sons living together.
Wang Jinbao fell in love with the movie at the first glance. At this time, it was the off-season, and he would not fall behind in every film class. For this reason, he also specially helped Li Mucheng and Gao Haowen to work together, and Li Mucheng also taught him how to work on the projector. It's not very difficult to do it, and after a long time, Wang Jinbao can do it by himself.
At this time, he skillfully made all preparations and waited for the screening.
This evening, students in some places are on vacation, and the projectors are not idle, and they are specially showing movies to the people in the surrounding villages to enrich people's spiritual life.
A beam of white light hit the curtain, and the broadcast began.
At the beginning, the first was some popular science shots. Publicize the legal system, dispel superstitions, stress hygiene, agricultural knowledge, and other aspects.
"Look at the fields planted by other people, they are definitely good!"
"This is the way to grow apples, you see how people grow them!"
"It's scary, you see what all those smokers have become. This thing can't be touched, and if it does, it will ruin the house. ”
"No, no, I'll just say that Daoist Zhang is a lie! With his second-rate background, he can still catch ghosts. You see, it turned out to be making a trick. Isn't that fake? I'll try it when I go back. ”
"It turns out that when these mosquitoes and fleas bite people, people are prone to get sick. You see, it turns out that the plague is infected by rats. You'll have to pay attention to it later. To have a cat. Dry the quilt more. It is necessary to clean up the smelly water and sewage. ”
The common people are not as honest and disciplined as children in the first grade, and when they see strange places, there is a lot of discussion below. The first time I saw ordinary people in cars, ships, trains, and airplanes, the surprise was no worse than that of children.
Meng Xiang already has a film and television version of "100,000 Whys" on hand, although it is not yet completed, and it is not as exaggerated as 100,000 questions, but thousands of imaginations that are closely related to people are shown in the movie. Slowly changing people's vision. It's not just for students, it's also unusual for adults to look at. It takes a long time to open up people's wisdom, but if you don't promote it, this time will be even longer.
Edutainment, at this time, the people are also a blank sheet of paper, especially susceptible to the influence of new things. The promotional role of the film is highlighted.
Compared with the oral speeches of some organizations, the movie is more acceptable to the people, and it is more thoroughly accepted. I have seen a lot, and the people also know who gave them their good words, not the county magistrate, nor the township chief, but the vanguard army above, Meng Dashuai.
These are infiltrated surnames and there is no direct propaganda. Meng Xiang has always been against the cult of personality and does not want to hear only one voice.
Leading a group of idiots who have not had their own opinions after being brainwashed, it is like carrying a group of lambs, and there is no prestige and difficulty at all. What he needs is not the obedience of a bunch of idiots, and with the loyalty of the clones, he hopes even more for a splendid China where a hundred flowers can bloom.
Huazhi is Hua, which is inclusive and wide. Summer is summer, and it is vast.
What China needs to revive is spiritual, not military. Even if you fight all over the world, you will collapse from the inside because of the lack of spirit.
Meng Xiang is instilling a spirit at this time, not only to open the wisdom of the people and let the people know the world outside, but also to formulate rules so that the people can start thinking and start judging for themselves. Undoubtedly, movies are a good means of this.
Dogmatic content doesn't play much, and the next one goes into real movies.
The film works on the territory of the vanguard army have been deliberately supported by Meng Xiang and have developed rapidly. Because of the strong cultural atmosphere of Beiping, in addition to the pioneer film studio in Qidu, a new film studio was also established in Beiping. Originally, the Beijing and Tianjin areas had talent and cultural advantages, coupled with the financial support of the vanguard army, so the development and creation of films entered a peak period.
Crucially, there are thousands of screens on the territory of the Vanguard Army that become the stage for their performances. Thousands of screens have been installed in thousands of schools for film teaching.
And that number is increasing. The cheapness produced at these bases even crowds out the production time of weapons. And new photographic equipment factories were also established in Beiping and Qi with the technical and equipment support of the Germans and Americans.
It is not enough to rely on the base alone, no matter what it is, Meng Xiang is looking for a replacement for the base. With the base supported on the top, it is more conducive to the slow start of various industries, a little bit of growth, and a solid foundation.
Thousands of screens have supported the vast market for films, and although most of them are open-air movies without fees, the thought of tens of millions of moviegoers is enough to stimulate the creative enthusiasm of filmmakers.
Inspired by the film and television control of later generations, Meng Xiang proposed a classification system early. It only delineated the scope that was not suitable, but it did not stop the passion of creation. He didn't give too many hints, no matter which profession, the Chinese people need more the spirit of exploration, rather than the bright road, if it is not a special need, he does not plan to copy the classics.
At this time, some of the movies released, although they seem a little ridiculous, are innovations obtained by Chinese filmmakers after continuous exploration. Just because you see a child behaving too naïvely, you can't let him wear the five bars early.
However, for the sake of the real needs of the vanguard military and political axe, only those films that are positive, open up the wisdom of the people, and conform to the mainstream ideology will be shown in open-air movies.
Some of the ethical and moral dramas that are popular in rural areas about free love, women's issues, marriage and divorce, supporting the elderly, and family cooking are the ones that the people never get tired of watching, and they can be interspersed with modern legal concepts, which also makes this kind of film the most.
There are also films that reflect the brutality of devils and depict heroes and vanguards. This documentary with the vanguard army is more realistic.
Films about the wonderful world outside also tempt people to get out of the small village and into the wider world outside. Chinese people need a spirit of adventure and exploration. Some films with adventure and heroic elements are also emerging.
The film theory of the Chinese system is maturing little by little.
Meng Xiang doesn't interfere with its growth, and he doesn't watch movies that look particularly naïve like this. After experiencing the bombardment of blockbusters in later generations, these movies really made Meng Xiang uninterested. And he doesn't have much free time to watch.
The battle situation on the front line and the affairs of the war zone still make him sleep short.
Wuhan is nothing, there is still a stalemate. As long as he said that he was not in danger of breaking through Wuhan, Meng Xiang would not invest too much energy there. Only when it is involved in that way will part of his strength be divided and let Lao Jiang stand on it.
Because Wuhan is critical, enterprises in Wuhan are relocating, although it is okay at this time, but who can predict the situation in the future. Some of these people chose to move to Chongqing, where it was safer, but others did move directly to the territory of the Vanguard. Several battles in the vanguard have already shown that he is strong, and safety is no problem.
In addition, there are more opportunities on the territory of the pioneer army, and the investment environment in terms of market and taxation is better than that of Yucheng. Naturally, they were on the side of the vanguard. Even those factories that moved to Sichuan and other places also went to the Seventh Theater of the Vanguard Army to set up branch factories.
It was inconvenient to transport the machines, and Meng Xiang did not need their old machines, and the skilled workers and skilled workers in the factory were the most valuable. These are not things that can be trained in a year and a half.
The vanguard offered them low-interest loans to buy German or American machines directly. Especially the machines of the Germans, the vanguard and their transactions were all bartered, bookkeeping.
The vanguard army bought a large amount of machinery, so that the Germans began to pay attention to it. This, coupled with the arms deal with the Vanguard, made the Germans turn a deaf ear to his protests. Anyway, the vanguard army did not buy much design munitions, so the Germans were justifiably arrogant.
In this way, the numbers on the accounts of the vanguard army continued to fluctuate and soon disappeared.
Although the Vanguard had largely exhausted its previous deals, by March the Germans had suddenly owed the Vanguard more than 200 million marks. Because Meng Xiang sold the second Yamato-class battleship to the Germans.
