The old man raised his head, took off his reading glasses, glanced at Lin Qirong carefully, and nodded slowly.

"Hello, I'm Bai Xilin. ”

His voice was full of breath and his words were clear, and he didn't even sound like an old man in his seventies.

"You may be seated. He gestured with his hand.

Lin Qirong thanked him and sat down across from him.

It turned out that the middle-aged man who opened the door poured him a cup of tea and added water to the water cup in front of his teacher before standing behind Bai Xilin.

"Do you have anything to do with me?" asked Teacher Bai Xilin.

"That's right," Lin Qirong said with a smile, "We would like to ask Teacher Bai for help and ask for some knowledge about animals." ”

"That's basically what comes to me, and that's all I can do to help you. ”

Teacher Bai Xilin said disapprehantly, "Which unit do you belong to, the newspaper, the publishing house, or the association?"

These are the people who usually need help from me. ”

Lin Qirong shook his head and smiled, "No, we are a company, making cartoons." ”

"Cartoon?" Not only Bai Xilin was surprised, but the middle-aged man behind him also exclaimed.

As a student of Bai Xilin, he has participated in many activities with Bai Xilin, basically some official activities.

This is the first time that a private unit has come to his teacher, and it is a company that makes cartoons, so the two seem to have nothing to do with each other, right?

Lin Qirong was not surprised, it was too normal for him to have such a reaction.

Content such as animal knowledge is generally only found in books, popular science magazines, and nature channels on television, and is rarely covered by mainstream media, let alone others.

The company that makes cartoons came to me and asked Bai Xilin, an animal expert, to help, and I don't think it's strange.

He smiled and nodded, "Yes." We are Tonghua Entertainment Company, and our main business is to make cartoons, cartoons for preschool children.

In fact, we have achieved good results, and the two cartoons we have produced, "Peppa Pig" and "Dora the Explorer", are both cartoons that children love to watch, and the influence is not small.

Now we are going to make a cartoon about animals, and we need to use very professional knowledge of animals.

Mr. Bai is one of the most famous animal experts in China, and his dedication to studying all kinds of animals in China for so many years will definitely give us great help. ”

Bai Xilin was not disappointed because of the origin of Lin Qirong and the others, but stopped Lin Qirong from talking very seriously, with a wise light flashing in his eyes.

After listening to Lin Qirong's words, he said slowly, "What do you want me to help you? I only know animals in my life, and I am an animal in China, and I don't know anything else." ”

"We need your knowledge of Chinese animals. ”

Lin Qirong said with a smile, "The content of our cartoon is like this.

The protagonist Diego lives in a jungle in Huaxia, and he, his parents, and his sister are all members of Huaxia's animal rescue team, responsible for rescuing the animals in distress.

In each episode, there is an animal that is in trouble or danger and needs to use his first aid knowledge and his rescue backpack to complete the rescue mission.

This involves the styling characteristics, voice characteristics, living habits, eating habits, living conditions, etc. of various animals in China, which require very professional knowledge.

We wanted to make cartoons with animals that were real and in line with their characteristics.

We also hope that through this cartoon, children can learn about these animals and then love them. ”

Teacher Bai Xilin fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

The middle-aged man looked at Lin Qirong with a surprised expression, he actually wanted to move all the Chinese animals into the cartoon, this young man really had ideas.

Although I don't know if he will be able to succeed, the idea is admirable enough.

This is especially true of the teacher and a zoologist like him, who has studied animals all his life.

There was an expectation in his heart that if such a cartoon could really be made, it might become a veritable encyclopedia of animal science.

Children can learn about these animals in fun animated plots, learn about these animals from an early age, and learn to protect them.

Will this play a very big role in protecting Chinese animals?

Lin Qirong waited quietly.

When making "Dora the Explorer", he had the idea to make this sister chapter.

If Diego had been put in the American jungle according to the original script, he wouldn't have to make too many changes to make it, and he would have made sure the kids liked it.

If the animals inside are replaced with animals unique to China, then many things need to be changed, and while the workload is large, it is also unknown what the results will be.

But in the end, he decided to do it, because he hoped that through this cartoon, children, including Tongtong, could learn more about Chinese animals.

Pandas, golden monkeys, peacocks, Siberian tigers, Chinese dolphins, red-crowned cranes......

These animals are unique to China and have very important significance.

If children can get to know these animals through this cartoon, learn relevant knowledge, and then like them, it will be good for them and Huaxia.

That's why he came to visit this animal expert, so that he could give him professional guidance and escort.

Teacher Bai Xilin thought for a long time before he stood up and took out a few thick books from the bookshelf behind him and put them in front of Lin Qirong.

"I've been doing animal research for decades. ”

He said slowly, "For a long time, our country has not paid much attention to animal research, and the popularization of knowledge is very weak, and children can only learn about animals through textbooks and going to zoos.

Everyone knows that China is rich in land and animal resources, but when it comes to what animals are there, they are speechless.

In contrast, they can understand some of the characteristic animals of foreign countries very clearly, and they can come as soon as they open their mouths. ”

Lin Qirong listened to him carefully, and recognized what he said very much in his heart, isn't that exactly the case?

"When I was young, I followed my teacher to climb mountains and wade through rivers, and traveled all over the land of China, just to be able to collect as much information as possible about the animals we have in China, so that more people can understand and like them. ”

He smiled bitterly and patted the book in front of him, "We've worked hard to get the work of compiling the materials, but we can't get people to focus on it.

People prefer to take their children to the zoo to see the few Chinese animals and other foreign animals.

Our efforts proved to be a failure. ”

"Nope. Lin Qirong said solemnly, "Although everyone doesn't understand you now, the animal database that you have worked so hard to improve will become a valuable asset of the Chinese nation."

Maybe for various reasons, people don't understand their preciousness now, but in the future, everyone will understand this. ”

Bai Xilin smiled and said nothing, he had heard such words countless times, and he had long been immune.

He opened the thick book, pointed to the content on it and talked to Lin Qirong.

It shows him, his teachers, and his students searching in the wild, day after day, year after year, waiting to find and leave a photograph that best reflects the characteristics of an animal.

There are also various animal voice characteristics, living habits and other information, which fully meet Lin Qirong's needs.

Bai Xilin talked for a while, and when he saw Lin Qirong and others listening to him quietly, without a trace of impatience, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

As one of China's most famous animal experts, he never lacked visitors.

Whether it's a professional magazine that needs to do an issue on animals or a program that needs professional guidance, he will be asked to help.

But their purpose is very direct, they get what they need, and they never listen to themselves seriously, or look impatient.

The person and the knowledge in their minds are just tools for them to achieve their goals, so how can they care about what they need?

And from the young man in front of him, he saw the respect for himself and knowledge, and the understanding and respect for this profession, which moved him a little.

He smiled dumbly in his heart, at his age, he would be moved by the attitude that this young man should have.

Thinking of this, he pushed a thick book on the table in front of Lin Qirong.

"It's a record of what we've collected over the years, as well as some sound data, which I can give to you as well.

I would be very happy if you could use these things to make cartoons that children will love and let them learn about animals. ”

Lin Qirong gently stroked the thick book, which was already a little old, and should have been opened often.

It contained almost all of the information he needed, and with that, he could do a lot of things.

However, he still pushed the information back to Bai Xilin.

Bai Xilin looked up at him in surprise.

"Teacher Bai. Lin Qirong chuckled, "These materials are indeed very valuable, and we need it very much, but this is not what we want the most."

What we care about most is the knowledge in your mind and the experience you have accumulated over the decades with animals.

These things are not reflected in this pile of information, and they are truly priceless. ”

Bai Xilin was stunned for a moment, and he hadn't figured out what he meant for a long time.

And his apprentice opened his mouth even more with a look of surprise.

He knew very well how much the teacher cherished these materials, and he was already surprised that he was willing to give them to Lin Qirong, but what he didn't expect was that Lin Qirong didn't want it?

He felt a little confused, what did Lin Qirong want?

Bai Xilin looked at Lin Qirong seriously, "What do you need me to do?"

Lin Qirong smiled slightly, "Mr. Bai, I would like to hire you as a special consultant for our company to help us make this cartoon together."

And we can work together to do more. ”
