The digital age belongs to young people! On the morning of November 24th, world internet conference Internet Development Forum held a forum on youth and digital future. Outstanding young representatives from computer, new media, digital cultural creation and other fields at home and abroad gave speeches in an “online+offline” way to share new stories, new insights and new growth in the digital economy era.
Xu Jian, founder and CEO of MOREVFX:
The Wandering Earth special effects team,
After 90 is the main force.
The amazing film The Wandering Earth, with a production cycle of 9 months and more than 2,000 shots, has been completed by the Xu Jian team.
“The amount of production and calculation is unprecedented.” Xu Jian said. What makes him particularly excited is that 90% of his team is born in the 1990s, and he is greatly encouraged by the performance of these young people. “Making a movie requires physical strength, needs to enlarge the brain hole, and the technology is updated very quickly, so we should keep accepting new things.”
One of the difficulties in The Wandering Earth’s production is that when the imaginary space of words is transformed into images, it should not only conform to the artistic concept imagined by people, but also be realistic, and the most difficult one is Jupiter impact. In Xu Jian’s view, “our task is to help directors and actors finish the picture and fully mobilize the audience’s emotions. In order to achieve this goal, we must combine the foundations of aesthetics, industry, science and technology to make everyone believe that these can be achieved. “
Digital butterfly, how do young people act? “There is a saying on the wall of our company: the only power to go forward is everything you love.” Xu Jian believes that the most important thing for young people is to have more love and really find a career that is willing to make all efforts.
Gan Lin, Assistant Director of National Supercomputing Wuxi Center and Assistant Researcher of Tsinghua University Computer Department:
A group of young people with an average age of 27 made “super brain”
A short story shared by Gan Lin made the guests present feel excited-
Four years ago, a group of young people, with an average age of only 27, came to Wuxi National Supercomputing Center under construction to build their own applications for China’s first world’s fastest supercomputer with all domestic processors. At that time, because the supporting facilities were not perfect, in summer, they ran to the computer room to rub air conditioning; Sleepy at night, they pulled two chairs, made a bed and went to sleep.
Excellent young people shoulder heavy responsibilities and the spirit of innovation and creation, which has accumulated vigorous strength for the digital age. “Supercomputing belongs to the strategic high-tech field. It is the commanding height of science and technology that all countries in the world compete for, and it is also an important symbol of a country’s scientific and technological strength.” Gan Lin said that the amount of calculation in one minute is equivalent to the supercomputer system that 7.2 billion people in the world have counted for 32 years. It looks far away, but it has actually been fully integrated into all aspects of our daily life, such as aerospace, manned deep diving, and weather forecasting.
Because supercomputing applications.The field is getting wider and wider. Gan Lin reminds young people who want to join this team that while laying a good foundation, they should also pay attention to interdisciplinary learning and better use supercomputing to serve the development of all walks of life.
Cyndi Luo, Director of National Cultural Heritage Administration Museum and Social Heritage Department (Science and Technology Department):
Expect more young people
Become a “builder”
“A year ago, a young man from Tencent asked me if I could hold a cultural relic exhibition without cultural relics in the museum. I think this idea is very good. ” Cyndi Luo said.
At that time, in order to make an exhibition, he recommended experts in archaeology, cultural relics and history to the young man to form a team, and finally launched the exhibition “Time Roaming of Cultural Relics” in the Capital Museum. In his view, this is a brand-new attempt.
More and more young people are beginning to care about cultural relics, and some young people are also involved, which makes Cyndi Luo happy. Cyndi Luo showed a set of data: after the epidemic, National Cultural Heritage Administration launched more than 2,000 online exhibitions in a month. Surprisingly, the number of visitors to these exhibitions in that month exceeded 5 billion, more than four times that of the national museums in the whole year.
“This reflects the strong cultural needs of the public and shows the powerful kinetic energy provided by high technology in the digital age for cultural prosperity.” Cyndi Luo said that in order to attract more people, especially young people, to pay attention to cultural relics, National Cultural Heritage Administration has used modern technologies such as big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence to make cultural relics “alive”: “Museums without walls” have been built in various places, and a number of interactive cultural relics exhibitions, such as the AR map of Mogao Grottoes, have been born, leading the new trend of cultural relics exhibitions.
Cyndi Luo expects more young people to change from “spectators” to “builders” in museums. “Only by letting young people pay attention to cultural relics and pass on humanistic spirit can Chinese civilization last forever.”
