Chapter 519 Dinosaurs


    The Los Angeles Museum of Natural History is the largest in the West and was founded in 1913.


    It was in the afternoon, between a dinosaur fossil skeleton that was sneaking around and a dinosaur fossil skeleton that was making noises, a group of children were sitting on small stools. The curator, experts and teachers stood in separate places. Left and right, looking at the slideshow ahead.


    Once upon a time, many people believed that the United States and the United States did not engage in formalism. It was not until the "City Creation and Health" initiative in San Francisco that we discovered that the world is one family.


    Of course, these kids are the invited audience. They are all upright and pure-blooded.


    Dong Zhiming stood on the podium.


    He has been exposed to the wind and sun all year round, has dark skin, and speaks with a heavy accent, like an old farmer. However, he studied at Fudan University, is a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and is a serious top student. He speaks in English.


    “China’s first scientifically described dinosaur fossil was discovered by a Russian in Jiayin County near Heilongjiang in 1902, and was initially thought to be a mammoth fossil.


    The second batch of fossils was discovered by Swedish scientists in 1913, excavated in 1923, and named Discopodosaurus shii and Tansaurus sinensis in 1929.


    In 1938, my teacher Mr. Yang Zhongjian discovered a dinosaur fossil in Lufeng, Yunnan, and named it Lufengosaurus xu. This was the first dinosaur that was completely discovered, collected, restored and mounted by Chinese scientists themselves. It was later exhibited in Chongqing when we were at war with the Japanese..."


    He narrated the history of dinosaur fossil excavation in China, from before the founding of the People''s Republic of China to after the founding of the People''s Republic of China, and then to the achievements in recent years.


    The slides kept changing with his speech:


    "1950, Spiny-nosed Tsingtaosaurus!"


    "In 1952, Mamenchisaurus! The entire neck is 4.67 meters long, and the overall length is about 13 to 15 meters."


    "In 1964, the giant Shandongosaurus! After more than four years of restoration work, a skeleton was synthesized. It is 15 meters long and 8 meters high. It is the tallest dinosaur known in the world among hadrosaurs."


    "In 1980, Taibai Huayangosaurus! The skeleton is about 4.3 meters long and about 1 meter high at the shoulder. It is the oldest and most complete preserved individual among the known stegosaurus fossil specimens in the world."


    "The Taibai Huayang Dragon was excavated in Dashanpu, ZG City, Sichuan. Why was it named this? Huayang, the sun of Huashan, refers to the southern provinces of the Qinling Mountains including Sichuan; Taibai pays tribute to our more than a thousand years of history. A great poet Li Bai..."


    "This Dashanpu has become an excavation base. In the past few years, we have excavated nearly 8,000 dinosaur bone fragments, weighing nearly 4 tons... We want to build a dinosaur museum here, and we are also eager to cooperate with dinosaur experts, museums, and enthusiasts from all over the world. Let’s communicate with each other and introduce China’s dinosaurs to everyone…”


    After the speech, the children asked questions, and Dong Zhiming answered them one by one. The process was very familiar.


    Finally, Dong Zhiming presented a gift to the curator.


    A fossil bone fragment of Mamenchisaurus and a model of Huayangosaurus Taibai.


    All countries are strictly prohibited from exporting any dinosaur fossils, including dinosaur eggs, and the number of times they are given to each other is relatively small. So even though it is just a piece of bone, it is still a very precious thing.


    "Whoosh!"


    Amid the applause of the children, Dong Zhiming and the curator displayed the gifts for reporters to take photos.


    The visiting delegation had personnel specifically responsible for "dinosaur diplomacy", mainly focusing on joint scientific expeditions, joint exhibitions and other matters, but Chen Qi ignored them. But while he was doing the interview, he suddenly beeped:


    "I know that American friends like dinosaurs very much, and China''s dinosaur craze is also on the rise. I am a super, super, super fanatical dinosaur fan. I am planning a dinosaur-themed cartoon, and I really hope that American audiences can watch it. …”


    …


    Chen Qi not only beeped at the museum, but also beeped at every activity thereafter.


    They came at a good time. "Orphan" had a small wave of popularity, and the visiting delegation also received a good reception. Everywhere they went, the organizer arranged media interviews, which greatly increased their exposure.


    I dare not say that in other places, but in the Los Angeles area alone, many people know that a movie produced by a Chinese is being released, with good box office, and the people are in this county.


    This is called traffic!


    "Dong dong dong!"


    "Please come in!" In the evening, Liu Zhigu knocked on Chen Qi''s door. When he went in, he was slumped on the sofa watching TV like an uncle. Gong Xue was peeling fruit for him and cutting it into small pieces thoughtfully. , eat it with a toothpick.


    Book that!


    Liu Zhigu had a wife and children, but that didn''t stop him from being envious. He said, "I was just downstairs when I met a foreigner looking for you."


    “Or Bob Shea?”


    "No, it''s from the Cactus Company."


    "cactus?"


    Chen Qi had no impression of him and said, "I''ve never heard of him. Maybe he''s here to get close."


    "I told him that we would leave the day after tomorrow and that we would have a few hours to discuss that day. He agreed... Xiao Chen, you are still peeing. It really doesn''t give the Americans face. They have to wait obediently." Liu Zhigu sighed. .


    "The box office of "Orphan" has already exceeded 10 million. For those of them who make small productions, it would be great if one of their films can break 10 million in their lifetime. Why don''t they wait? Let me tell you, as long as there is profit, they don''t care whether they are embarrassed or not. , I wish I could give you a slap in the face."


    When Li Lianlian was working in Hollywood, he made an appointment with a boss, but was suspended for 45 minutes. Later, when he achieved some success, the boss asked him to film a movie. Li Lianlian ignored him for two hours and was still smiling.


    The entertainment industry is the best place to amplify these things.


    "Tomorrow we are going to visit an animation production company. If it weren''t for your strong request, we would not have planned this itinerary in the first place. I don''t quite understand your dinosaur animation. Do you want to cooperate with Americans, or what?"


    "The best expectation is cooperation, otherwise it will be OEM. We have nothing but the advantage of lower labor cost."


    "Have you found the domestic personnel yet?"


    "No!" He said confidently.


    "Then you''ve reached an agreement here and it''s been delayed at home. Isn''t that a bad thing?" Liu Zhigu was speechless.


    "It''s not that easy to start construction. We have to do something first and let others see if it works? And the country is studying reforms. It''s hard to tell you this."


    It was hard to say, so Liu Zhigu didn''t ask, sat for a while, got up and left.


    They had the most activities and stayed the longest in Los Angeles, and then flew to the East Coast. The last stop was New York. The screening of "Life is Beautiful" was held in New York, and Shadra and others would participate.


    Traveling to the United States is not easy. The trip lasts for 20 days, and Chen Qi has too much to do.


    …


    Another night passed in the blink of an eye.


    The delegation arrived at an animation company called Feimeison, which has a long history and was established in 1962. It mainly supplies cartoons to television stations and has a wide range of distribution channels.


    This year, they will release "He-Man", followed by "She-Ra".


    Due to the order of introduction in China, Ciri''s first name was this: "Give me power, I am Ciri!"


    Feimeisun also has a film "Chief Bresta", with the eyes of an eagle, the speed of a leopard, the strength of a bear, the ears of a wolf... Sheriff Bresta is an Indian, and Indians believe in these natural spirits.


    However, Feimison was sold off all copyrights by its parent company in 1989 and then disbanded.
