Chapter 264: Dinosaurs Must Be Handsome
Some people don't understand, but some people are already looking forward to Wang Wei's new film.
For example, Wei Jishun.
He is an old professor of paleontology and evolution in Huaguo, and also serves as a paleontological consultant for "Jurassic Park", in other words, every dinosaur that appears in the movie must be approved by his nod.
- Originally, the crew only planned to invite his students, well, a young paleontologist who had already graduated as a consultant, but I didn't expect the old professor to add it after reading the script.
With his qualifications, there is no doubt that he has become the main consultant of the professional team.
Wang Wei went to him as soon as he entered the group.
Because although it is said to be a live-action movie, the biggest protagonist of "Jurassic Park" will only be dinosaurs!
This huge creature has dominated the wild world for a long time, and human beings can only infer their extraordinary body shape from the traces of history such as fossils, giving them romantic illusions;
At least in part, they are more enchanting than any dragon, unicorn, elf, or other mythical creature.
After all, this creature was real, and it once lived on the planet we live on now.
Of course, the most important thing is that they are all extinct!
It's important that people don't have to be afraid of them, they don't have to worry about being attacked by them on their way to school or work, and they will love them completely.
There is no way, humans are such a creature of "Ye Gong is a good dragon".
Professor Wei Jishun didn't know Wang Wei's inner slander, he only saw Wang Wei's "enthusiasm" for dinosaurs, so he showed more enthusiasm.
"I love your script, although there are quite a few scientific flaws; I also love the discussion of the unbridled use of technology by humans, which makes it more than just an entertainment film...... If it weren't for my age, I would have liked to play the biology professor in the film. ”
The eager look on Professor Wei's face suggests that he is not joking.
- The biology professor in the film is the same expert who strongly opposes the cloning of dinosaurs and believes in chaos theory.
Chaos theory, simply put, means that in a complex environment, the evolution and development of dynamic systems are almost impossible to be manipulated by humans; Put it in the movie, that is, the resurrection of an extinct animal will bring great uncertainty and even disaster to the ecology.
This brings us to the theme of the film – no matter how many restrictions and obstacles are placed on nature, life will always find a way!
"If it weren't for this theme, it would be just a movie with dinosaurs as a gimmick, and I wouldn't have come if I was asked to be a consultant."
The old professor also took the opportunity to complain.
Wang Wei coughed lightly and had to explain, "Professor Wei, this is actually an entertainment blockbuster after all, not a documentary about dinosaurs, which is different from the documentary you saw in college; ”
"Of course, entertainment is not the same as making things up, so I need you to provide enough scientific knowledge about dinosaurs, such as how big they are, what they look like, how they act, what the environment they live in, etc., and then use that as a basis to create artistic ......"
"I understand, I understand!"
Wei Jishun expressed his understanding disapprovingly.
Of course he knew it wasn't academic.
In fact, Wang Weineng invited professionals to be consultants, which has already made him greatly appreciated.
As for artistic processing, frankly speaking, is there no element of artistic processing in the academic community's exploration of dinosaurs? Who would dare to say that real dinosaurs are what they portray?
"The key is that the dinosaur image you show in the film will become an industry standard, which is also the most important thing in the paleontological community in the next decade!" Wei Jishun said with a smile.
Ah......h Wang Wei didn't know that the old professor had such confidence in him, and he didn't know what posture to use to express his humility for a while.
However, the old professor's confidence in him was even stronger than he imagined-
"This film will awaken the public's interest in dinosaurs, and it will also lead more young people into the paleontological community; It will also allow more money to flow into the field, more universities to offer dinosaur courses, and various museums to hold dinosaur exhibitions......"
To put it bluntly, before this, no matter how well the entire paleontological community did, how many publicity resources could it get?
In the old professor's opinion, doing 10,000 popular science activities, there is no popular movie popular science popularization once.
And when dinosaurs return to the vision of a new generation, the entire paleontological community can feel the benefits brought by Wang Wei.
So he's here to help a little bit as well.
It's just-
Introducing young people to the world of paleontology? Isn't that a bit of a sin?
Also, he thinks so beautifully, if I can't do it, will he feed me to the dinosaurs? - if he clones a dinosaur.
Some out-of-tune thoughts were tumbling in Wang Wei's mind.
Well, for whatever purpose, everyone's opinion is agreed anyway.
Wang Wei also got to the point, "Professor, are all the dinosaur species given in the script covered by the species found in China?" ”
In his previous life, when he watched the Jurassic series of movies, he was dazzled by all kinds of dinosaurs, and after checking the information, he found that there were basically no domestic dinosaurs in it.
Now, the Jurassic series has been replaced with domestic blood, and the dinosaurs in it must of course be replaced with dinosaurs of domestic blood as much as possible.
Of course, this is not to say that this series of dinosaurs can only appear in Huaguo dinosaurs, Wang Wei even has an idea - dinosaurs from more countries can be "resurrected" later, fighting each other, and "using dragons to make dragons", I believe it will be a good selling point.
Well, in the first part, let's make Huaguo dinosaurs famous.
The old professor gave an affirmative answer, and said domineeringly: "Huaguo is the country with the most types of dinosaurs, and you can find representatives of the species in your script, even the most well-known Tyrannosaurus rex!" ”
The Jurassic series is naturally indispensable to the Tyrannosaurus rex, in fact, even without this series, the Tyrannosaurus rex is a household name in the world and has been famous for a long time;
Its massive head and body, with its strong hind limbs and vestigial forelimbs, are easily distinguishable; As a representative of the ferocious and domineering carnivorous dinosaur, it is also a circle of fans.
As for Brachiosaurus, which has a gentle temperament, an extremely people-friendly image, and opens a shocking chapter for the movie, it is even more representative of China that can be counted on one hand.
Professor Wei Jishun casually gave an example: "There are Emeilong, Mamenxilong, and ...... in China."
"Professor, let me add-" Wang Wei coughed lightly again, interrupting the old professor's popular science, "Dinosaurs can be called anything, but only one point, they must be handsome!" ”
"Handsome ??"
The old professor was suddenly messy.
Not a requirement for habits, not even for combat effectiveness, but only for ...... Have a requirement for appearance?
The old professor with a wrinkled face and the Mediterranean Sea on his head is not in a very beautiful mood,
"Is the appearance of animals so important?"
"It's important!"
Wang Wei nodded heavily, and gave an example by the way,
"For example, the giant panda is a national protected animal."
"And so are the alligators."

Before you know it, the Spring Festival holiday is over~~~
