In Yanjing, in a large factory specially rented by New World.
All the new world high-level people are here.
The project that is being carried out now is related to the new world's move from China to the world, so everyone has to be present.
Although Han Zhou already has a complete script and ideas.
But after all, this script is more than 40 years away from this era, and Han Zhou still hopes that everyone can work together.
Even if someone puts forward a little bit of ideas about the characteristics of the times and the visual rendering power, it will be a great boost to the film.
At this moment, in the factory, an electronic mechanical dinosaur was roaring.
Technical expert Huang Tang is very satisfied with the performance of the big guy he brought.
Han Zhou pinched his chin and said nothing.
Huang Tang: "How is it, is it true?"
"Now, 99% of the world's moving dinosaur models, 80% of the dinosaur models, and 60% of the large dinosaur sculptures are all produced in Gong City."
“This represents the highest level of our craft.”
"Even if you look at it from 10 centimeters away, you can't tell the difference between it and a real creature."
Zhang Jiuquan circled around, but was afraid of being stepped on by the dinosaur, so he was very careful and exclaimed: "Oh my god, he is a real professional."
Han Zhou went to a far place and picked up a little girl.
This is the current princess of the New World and Han Zhou’s disciple.
Chen Yiran, the young singer who is popular all over the country.
Han Zhou: "Are you scared?"
Chen Yiran shook his head: "I'm not afraid."
Han Zhou shook his head: "No."
Huang Tang was stunned for a moment, then leaned towards Han Zhou: "Boss, this... is not enough?"
Gong City occupies the global dinosaur model market, which shows that it is at the forefront of the world in all aspects.
Huang Tang is a well-known paleontologist in Gong City, and at the same time, he is also a family-inherited model maker.
Since graduation, he has been making dinosaur models in Gong City, and he has a close relationship with the Gong City Paleontological Research Institute. Whenever there is any latest academic news about dinosaurs, he is the first to know.
Then, he used his expertise to make the shape of the dinosaur closer and closer to the original shape of ancient creatures.
In the past six months, after New World acquired both their people and the factory, it has been asking them to make models that can be used in filming.
But now, Han Zhou’s dissatisfaction meant that Huang Tang’s half a year of hard work had been wasted.
The whole person was torn apart.
Han Zhou was indeed dissatisfied: "This is not scary enough."
Huang Tang looked at the huge monster in front of him: "Isn't it scary enough?"
Han Zhou pointed at the huge creature in front of him and said, "All creatures with long or short hair will be less intimidating to people. It's best to remove all the hair on this Tyrannosaurus Rex."
"Also, I suggest giving it cool-toned scales instead of earthy red."
"Also, its face should be a little more rugged, and its eyes should be closer to the eyes of crocodiles and snakes, and a little deeper."
These demands were indeed too much for Huang Tang.
When the original film was shot, paleontologists were still in a relatively primitive stage of dinosaur restoration, and much of the subsequent dinosaur restoration was actually done by the film company itself.
Today, our understanding of dinosaurs is completely different from what it was decades ago.
For example, paleontologists used to believe that dinosaurs and reptiles were close relatives, so they should be cold-blooded animals with scales all over their bodies.
However, with the development of science, almost all paleontologists have reached a consensus that the modern animals that are most closely related to dinosaurs should be birds.
Therefore, dinosaurs should be warm-blooded animals and have feathers, whether they are primitive feathers or later real feathers, but at least they have feathers.
There are also some other aspects of the restoration that make dinosaurs less and less scary.
The translation of "terrible giant lizard" is becoming less and less realistic.
Huang Tang was a little embarrassed to speak and hesitated to talk.
Han Zhou: "Just tell me."
Huang Tang: "Boss, if we do as you said, the restored Tyrannosaurus Rex will be increasingly different from the Tyrannosaurus Rex speculated by scientists."
Han Zhou patted Huang Tang on the shoulder and said, " Does anyone dare to claim that he has more than 60% confidence in restoring the appearance of the Tyrannosaurus Rex?"
Huang Tang: "That's impossible. If someone says so, they are lying."
"Unless you can find complete fossils of Tyrannosaurus skin and hair, and find fossil evidence of color."
Many people believe that fossils are completely fossils.
Actually, that’s not the case.
The length and weight of many giant beasts in the world were estimated during their lifetime, as only some of their fossils have been preserved.
Based on the proportions of the creature's skeleton, its total length was estimated.
There are only one and a half complete skeleton fossils in the world that are close to the estimated maximum size of Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Skin fossils and fossils with muscle texture are extremely rare, and each one is only a tiny bit in size.
It is a pipe dream to restore the original appearance of dinosaurs with these things. Everyone is just guessing, estimating and calculating.
Yes, to put it bluntly, we are just guessing. Many restoration models are guessed, not deduced using scientific methods. In fact, deduction only accounts for a very small part.
Han Zhou: "You understand, so why can't you follow ours?"
Huang Tang smiled and scratched his head, not knowing what to say.
In fact, in the domestic scientific community, everyone is very cautious and does not want to make mistakes, so few people like to use knowledge combined with speculation to make predictions.
Unlike in foreign countries, many people don’t even guess, but directly falsify data for fame and research funding.
Now it seems like a science fiction film, and a ridiculous science fiction film at that.
It's almost magical.
In fact, it is a fight for the right to speak .
At the turn of the century, countless scientists believed that the new century would be the century of genes.
A large number of cloning experiments are developing rapidly.
There are many fake experiments that deceived the public and shocked the world.
However, when a series of breakthroughs were made in the cloning experiments on primates, it seemed that "cloning" was no longer important overnight.
The reason is that it was Chinese scientists who cloned primates.
Those scientists who used to be extremely famous all over the world and whose every word and action seemed to be industry standards and industry giants, none of them have reached this step, and they have been playing around with mice.
After Chinese scientists solved the problem of primate cloning, this thing lost its popularity and importance overnight.
Situations like this are the norm almost throughout the scientific community.
The saying that a blacksmith must have strong tools is essentially correct, but it won’t work if no one promotes it.
Everyone is making cold weapons, and when they produce a small dagger, they brag about it. When you have worked hard to make a magical weapon that can cut iron like mud and cut hair like a blade, people will say, "Oh, what's the use of cold weapons? We are all making guns."
You see, you're making guns, right? Then I'll go too.
By the time you have made the most stable and scientific rifle in the world, people will say they are going to make cannons.
By the time you have made a cannon, people will start talking about making daggers.
If you really listen to him, you'd be a fool.
They are acting like hooligans, do you really think you can win as long as you have strong goods?
after all.
Almost all paleontologists in the world are studying dinosaurs.
after all.
The age of dinosaurs lasted nearly 200 million years, while large ancient creatures were active on land for only 300 million years in total.
With such a huge investment in research, China's research has gradually become the leader.
Now, it is very likely that the same situation will occur as in other scientific research. Once you become very good at this, people will no longer study it and will simply say that it is not important.
If you publicize it a bit more, ordinary people will think, "Others have developed similar things decades ago. What you have developed now is just what they left over from decades ago. You just changed the species to study."
Ordinary people simply cannot understand the difference in difficulty between scientific experiments.
If cloning a mouse is one level of difficulty and cloning a sheep is two levels, then cloning a monkey is ten thousand levels of difficulty.
Ordinary people still think that cloning monkeys and cloning goats are the same thing.
If you don’t publicize it, how will ordinary people know?
Han Zhou patted Huang Tang on the shoulder and said, "Now everyone in the Gongshi Paleontological Research Institute supports me."
"Now, I have the final say on what a dinosaur looks like, and you have the final say."
"If they are not used to it, they will slowly adapt. Once they are used to it, you, Huang Tang, will be the creator of the typical model of dinosaur restoration."
"Do you understand?"
Huang Tang: “Oh…ah?”
Han Zhou: "After this film, no one will watch future film and television works, whether they are movies, cartoons, or documentaries, if they don't follow our model."
“That’s what we call the right to speak.”
"By then, you will be the originator of this industry."
There is still a gap between the leather case and the model.
In essence, Jurassic Park is not a model movie, but a suit movie.
In the previous life, the first suit movie was called Godzilla.
Later, in the course of history, the development of leather suit movies branched out into two directions.
One is the series of suit monster movies based on Godzilla's worldview, King Kong and a bunch of monster movies. (Note: King Kong in 1933 was not a suit movie but a model stop-motion animation. In 1962, King Kong was incorporated into the Godzilla system.)
One is the various monsters evolved from the model of Godzilla, combined with Ultraman who represents justice, to give birth to "Ultraman" and its representative suit special effects video.
The two series move forward side by side.
Around the 1970s, the great director of my previous life suddenly thought, can the leather suit only be used to shoot fictional creatures? Why can't I use it to shoot real creatures?
Thus was born the real-life monster series "Jaws".
After the crazy success of "Jaws", the great director began to promote the development of realistic suits, and finally decided to shoot "Jurassic Park".
It took this great director twenty years to evolve the suit to this point.
And now, Han Zhou is getting the advantage.
Han Zhou has the world's most powerful dinosaur model manufacturing team working for him.
It saves us twenty years of hard work, and as long as we pay the money, we can make any kind of model.
As long as you can draw a picture, you can make a model that is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.
Han Zhou knew the difference between this model and the leather case very well. He only needed to tell Huang Tang the tricks and it would be done.
Now, all the conditions are in place.
Why doesn't Han Zhou try to seize the right to speak?
Liu Tiantan stepped forward and said, "Give me two weeks and I will come up with a new computer model."
Han Zhou nodded: "Third brother, I'll leave this matter to you."
When shooting a movie, especially one of this kind of subject matter, you can’t just use computer special effects.
No matter how good the computer special effects are, there is still a big gap from realism.
Computer special effects are used for distant shots, while leather sets are required for close shots, especially those of the Tyrannosaurus Rex walking close in the terrifying rainy night.
There was a story many years ago about a big brother who was proficient in Kung Fu movies and met this great director.
They asked each other a question.
The eldest brother asked, "How do dinosaurs move?"
The other party replied: "It's very simple, press this button, press this button, press this button, and it's done."
He asked, "How did you shoot the jumping scene?"
The eldest brother replied: "It's easier. Turn on the machine, jump, and send to the hospital."
Both sides told the truth, but neither side honestly said how they did it. If you really believe that computer special effects can be used to film Jurassic, then you are really stupid.
Han Zhou went to Hollywood specifically to learn, and asked Chen Dayong and others to go over to learn, and they learned so many things.
Now that the new world has grown huge, Han Zhou has the ability to build a film industry chain. Starting with "Jurassic Park" is already very conservative.
Han Zhou originally wanted to start with "The Wandering Earth".
But on second thought, Han Zhou felt that there were two advantages to starting with "Jurassic Park".
The first is to save money and keep it simple.
The second is to first open up global sales for Korean films, allowing casual moviegoers to get used to movies filled with Chinese people, and then release "The Wandering Earth".
You have to know that "Jurassic Park" is an atypical Hollywood movie. It basically does not contain Hollywood's values. On the contrary, in terms of form, it has reached the limit of Hollywood.
Once the audience has adapted to "Jurassic" and then watches "The Wandering Earth", their acceptance will be even higher.
Destroying Hollywood's own system is equivalent to paving the way for Chinese films.
Hollywood actors are great, and so is the film industry, but their commercial films, without the filters, are just so-so.
If they can build their own film industry that is no less powerful than theirs, stimulate the interest of casual moviegoers, sign contracts, attract and even train their own Hollywood-level movie stars, and finally compete with their commercial blockbusters.
Even if you can't win, you won't lose too badly.
This is definitely better than diving into a pond that is so murky that you can't see clearly.
The entire New World team is busy studying suits, computer models, and adjusting the script.
…
Wang Chuyang sneaked over to see the giant dinosaur, praising it and taking photos.
Chen Xiaoyong saw that Wang Chuyang was a bit of a hindrance at the scene and said, "Wang Chuyang, go play with Brother Han. What are you doing here? I can't afford to compensate you if the welding blinds you."
Wang Chuyang smiled and said, "Second brother, where is Brother Han?"
Chen Xiaoyong pointed to a container house and said, "See, inside."
Wang Chuyang happily ran towards the container house and knocked on the door.
Han Zhou: "Come in."
Wang Chuyang walked into the room and looked around: "Brother Han, although it is inside the factory, this container house is not worthy of your status! How about I send you a new luxury board house? "
Han Zhou: "I'm busy, if you have anything to fart, please fart quickly."
"Tell me, what's the matter."
Considering Wang Chuyang's financial situation, he is willing to spend so much money, so there must be something wrong.
Wang Chuyang smiled and said, "Xiao Mei and I recently took on a play."
Han Zhou looked up at Wang Chuyang, then lowered his head to fiddle with the model image on the computer: "Oh, you got a role in a play, what's the matter?"
Wang Chuyang: "In the play, Xiaomei plays a female star from the 1980s and 1990s."
Han Zhou: "Yeah, then what?"
Wang Chuyang: "So, we wanted to find a song that is from that era, but is also nice, fun, and suitable for Xiaomei to sing."
Han Zhou: "You can think of that. It's already 2025, and you're asking for songs from the 1980s and 1990s."
Wang Chuyang chuckled: "That's not it... I feel like you're the only one in the market who can write like that, Brother Han."
"I know you can definitely write it, Brother Han. So... my sister just bought a sports car. I'll go and drive it over secretly..."
Han Zhou: "Stop, I have signed a car endorsement contract, I am not interested in any sports car."
Wang Chuyang thought about what else he could sell. He couldn't sell his own sister, right? Although his own sister might be what she wanted.
Han Zhou closed the document: "Songs from the 1980s and 1990s, fun and nice to listen to?"
Wang Chuyang saw that Han Zhou had finished his work, then he walked over to the desk and said with a smile, "Yes."
Han Zhou: "Tell me about the plot of the TV series."
Wang Chuyang started talking and finished after a long time.
In fact, this TV series is also simple, and it has a bit of the flavor of a youth movie. Maybe it’s because youth movies have been too popular in recent years?
It's probably a story about the 1990s, the love between a star who became famous overnight and an ordinary young man, as well as a group of friends.
In the plot, although the character Wang Chuyang is not well-known in the market, he is very famous among the college students in Yanjing and is a well-known campus singer.
Everyone thought that these two were a couple, and a lot of things happened, including some bloody plots.
In the end, as time passed, the star remained the same star, but Wang Chuyang became a writer.
Many years after graduation, the two met again and rekindled their old relationship.
After listening to the plot, Han Zhou just wanted to say that the screenwriter really didn't treat writers as human beings.
There are so many universities in Yenching University, and so many students in the literature department, but how many of them have become writers?
Several of the writers were campus singers when they were young.
However, this story generally reproduces some events of that era, and it is estimated that some people in the circle were consulted.
But, these people are basically from the Beijing circle now, right?
However, when Han Zhou heard that it was Wang Xiya who invested it herself, he felt relieved.
Is this Chunchun just disgusting? Those singers and creators in their fifties in the Beijing circle are the prototypes of this play.
Some of the characters' stories are pretty disgusting.
Are you kidding me? You're scolding me?
Han Zhou happily tore off a piece of paper and started writing.
This song, sung by a woman, is fun, has a sense of the times, and is both interesting and pleasant to listen to.
The key is that it is not difficult to sing, and Yuan Xiaomei can definitely sing it.
Wang Chuyang also understood music. After reading the score, he spread his hands and said, "Uh... huh?"
Han Zhou: "Don't speak softly, sing with a bigger voice, it will be more flavorful."
Wang Chuyang pondered in his heart: "It's true!"
Han Zhou: "Okay, get out of here now. By the way, the new movie will start shooting next year, and you can come over and play a small role then."
Han Zhou paused and said, "Do you want to go to Hollywood for some fun?"
Wang Chuyang: “???”
Han Zhou: "There is a role, a North American Native American character, a werewolf, and a love scene."
"The original actor for the role is no longer playing the role, so we are short of someone."
The new Twilight movie will definitely make a lot of money, but there are still many obstacles in Hollywood. One of the biggest problems is that there is no one to play the role of Jacob.
Although it is most taboo to change actors in a movie series, it has to be done now.
Fortunately, Jacob was not a very stout character in the first film. If they had already finished filming the second film and wanted to change him, it would have been impossible.
Wang Chuyang is the only one Han Zhou has currently considered who can play Jacob. If Wang Chuyang does not accept the role, he will have to publicly select a Jacob in North America.
Wang Chuyang: "Twilight? That stupid movie, and I'm just playing a lickspittle role. I won't act in it. I'm out..."
An hour later, Han Zhou received a call from Wang Xiya.
Wang Chuyang's scream on the other end of the phone was extremely miserable.
Wang Xiya also said: "Wang Chuyang took the role of Jacob."
Han Zhou smiled: "I am Wang Chuyang's boss."
Wang Xiya: "But I am his guardian."
On the other end of the phone, Wang Chuyang was still stubborn: "I'm an adult, why do I need a guardian..."
Han Zhou clearly heard Wang Xiya sneer on the phone: "You need it when your legs are broken and you can't take care of yourself."
Han Zhou said happily: "Okay, kick Wang Chuyang to the United States."
After hanging up the phone, Han Zhou frowned.
As the business gets bigger, many things become unexpected and out of control.
Although I have been cooperating with CCTV for many years, this time "In the Name of People" is really not suitable for broadcast on CCTV-1.
If CCTV-1 broadcasts a TV series of this theme, the guiding and symbolic significance will be much greater than the significance shown in the plot itself. After much consideration, Shen Xixiong decided to give up the first broadcast rights of "In the Name of People".
Now, where this TV series will be broadcast is a big problem.
Although Han Zhou did not perform in the drama, this TV series is after all the biggest move by New World TV series this year and is highly anticipated.
Just as I was thinking about it, the phone rang.
Some people just get news quickly.
The director of Mango TV called.
