Animals are friends of humans. In the process of development, humans should pay attention to protecting other creatures living on the same planet so that they have enough living space to reproduce. This is absolutely correct. Every species
The extinction of living things is not only an immeasurable loss to nature, but also to humans themselves. However, it is not possible for most people to raise the behavior of protecting animals to a super moral level.
Accept it, after all, in this world, many people still live in poverty without food and clothing.
Fang Mingyuan is not that kind of extreme animal protectionist, and he believes that Sihoyus is also not an extreme animal protectionist. Because in his impression, the core idea of "Dolphin Cove" is to condemn the Japanese's indiscriminate slaughter of dolphins!
It's just like, it doesn't matter if everyone eats beef or mutton, but when killing cattle and sheep, I'm afraid no slaughterhouse will slaughter calves and lambs together regardless of size, right?
And he also knows that in European and American countries, there are indeed laws to ensure that livestock such as pigs, cows, and sheep suffer as little pain as possible when they are slaughtered. As a person who will actively save humans
Dolphins, wild animals, slowly die in pain due to blood loss, which is indeed unacceptable to many people.
Of course, what Fang Mingyuan values most is the other impacts brought about by this. For example, it can form a global condemnation of Japan's inhumane behavior. For example, it can expand the scope of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and DreamWorks Films.
With global influence, for example, it can be used to combat the Japanese government’s corruption in the hearts of Japanese people!
The Japanese government's right-wing shift in recent years has become more and more explicit, with visits to the Yasukuni Shrine and more and more officials clamoring to revise history textbooks and Japan's constitution. Americans are happy to see this trend.
But the Chinese people don't want to see it - no one likes to have an untimed and large bomb buried at their doorstep. Japan's military strength, although not as large as many countries, can be avoided if you do it because of this.
If you think that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces are not strong in combat effectiveness, you are deceiving yourself. Advanced sea, land and air equipment, coupled with Japan's military service system, ensure that if necessary, Japan can quickly arm a well-equipped and well-trained personnel
, and came with an army of staggering size.
Today, although the Japanese Self-Defense Force is a vicious dog armed to the teeth, there is still an iron chain around its neck - Japan's pacifist constitution, which makes it very difficult for this vicious dog to get out of Japan, and
Once the pacifist constitution is broken, China will undoubtedly be the most threatened. Fang Mingyuan is naturally unwilling to see this change happen, but it would be extremely difficult to reverse it. Japan's right-wing forces have the acquiescence of the United States behind it.
The political influence in Japan is growing, and this is visible to all knowledgeable people in China.
The filming of "The Cove" can play a big role in damaging Japan's international reputation and damaging the Japanese government's domestic credibility. This is why he immediately agreed with Spielberg as soon as he heard Spielberg's recommendation.
The main reason was to disagree with Sihoyus. But when he saw those photos, Fang Mingyuan’s decision to shoot "Cove of Dolphins" became even more determined!
"Mr. Sihoyos, for those lovely dolphins. I agree to have DreamWorks Film Company finance the filming and be responsible for the subsequent global distribution. The funds and equipment you need. Even professionals, these are not a problem, but I
There are two conditions." Fang Mingyuan put the photo on the table and said in a deep voice.
"What conditions? Tell me!" Sihoyos was overjoyed. He did not expect Fang Mingyuan to be so straightforward, but he was also surprised and said, "You said the filming was funded by DreamWorks? Why not Hong Kong Kumho Film Group?"
In his opinion, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group's investment in filming will undoubtedly have greater influence. Moreover, how can Fang Mingyuan make this decision for DreamWorks Film Company?
Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Mr. Sihoius, although Hong Kong Kumho Film Group is in Hong Kong, it cannot change its identity as a Chinese film company, and the relationship between China and Japan, haha, I think
You should also be aware that if this kind of thing is filmed at the expense of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, some people will definitely jump out and say that Hong Kong Kumho Film Group is deliberately smearing the image of Japan. Although we all know that this is nonsense.
, Dolphins belong to the world, and naturally they also belong to China. As a Chinese, because it is made by Japanese, can't we make our own voice to protect dolphins? But sometimes this world is so unreasonable."
Sihoyos scratched his head in embarrassment. This was something he had not thought of. It was indeed as Fang Mingyuan said. Originally, such a subject matter was relatively sensitive and would easily arouse strong opposition from the Japanese. If it were a Chinese film,
If the company finances the filming, the protests will definitely be stronger. Even if he doesn't pay attention to politics, he knows that China and Japan fought for more than ten years in World War II, and tens of millions of people died. If it weren't for
China has been dragging Japan with a large number of troops, and life for the Americans has been even more difficult. Although Germany and Italy have successfully integrated into Europe after the war, the relationship between Japan and Asian countries is not so harmonious, and there are still disputes from time to time.
It will cause some friction.
"Having DreamWorks Film Company finance the filming can reduce some unnecessary troubles. Secondly, Mr. Sihoyos, don't you know? Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company is the major shareholder of DreamWorks Film Company. I
He also serves as the chairman of DreamWorks Film Company?" Fang Mingyuan asked curiously.
"Ah?" Sihoyos couldn't help but open his mouth. He has been running on the front line of protecting dolphins in the past two years. He really didn't notice when Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company became the majority shareholder of DreamWorks Film Company.
.If this is the case, then it is understandable why Fang Mingyuan can make the decision for DreamWorks Film Company.
"When Stephen called me, he was also very interested in the documentary you were going to shoot. You can rest assured that DreamWorks Film Company will definitely give you the greatest support by then," Fang Mingyuan said.
Sihoyos was now completely relieved. With the support of DreamWorks Film Company and the boss of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, no matter whether it was funds, equipment or personnel, there would be no problem at all.
"The two conditions you mentioned just now?" Sihoius then remembered the topic just now.
"Ah, well, it's not two conditions. It's more appropriate to say it's two requests." Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Are you still working at National Geographic? Will the filming work affect your work in "National Geographic"?"
National Geographic job?”
"No, I have resigned from my position at National Geographic, and now I work part-time." Sihoyos shook his head happily. Shooting a documentary is not an easy task, and he must devote himself wholeheartedly.
Go in.
"Well, let's put it this way, I hope that after you finish filming the movie, you can take some time to work at the Tongyi City TV Station in Qinxi Province, China for some time. To be precise, you will be a teacher for a period of time. Salary
You can pay according to the standards when you worked at National Geographic." Fang Mingyuan said, "Of course. You can also invite partners and assistants you recognize, and the salary of all of them will not be lower than their previous jobs."
Tongyi TV's current channels are also constantly being enriched. Sports channels and movie channels have been launched, and Fang Mingyuan's favorite documentary channel has also been put on the agenda. Whether it is from Fang Mingyuan or the TV station itself, naturally they will not be satisfied.
At that time, all the programs that will be released will be purchased from outside, and you have to come up with your own stuff. But if you want to shoot high-quality programs, you can't just pile up funds. It also requires a lot of high-level talents.
.So after Fang Mingyuan learned the exact identity of Sihoyus, he set his sights on him!
As a well-known photographer who has worked for National Geographic for a long time, Sihoyos must have a wide range of contacts in the industry. Pulling him to Tongyi to be a teacher will definitely make the people in the TV station,
The level has improved, and at least it allows them to see with their own eyes what the world's first-class level looks like.
"Another request is that I hope you can shoot another documentary, a documentary about the current status of Yangtze finless porpoise protection in China," Fang Mingyuan said.
"Chinese Yangtze finless porpoise?" Sihoyus frowned. He had heard of this animal, but didn't know much about it.
"It is a subspecies of the genus Finless Porpoise in the porpoise family that lives in the Yangtze River. It is said that there are only more than a thousand of them at present. Have you heard of the white-tip dolphin?" Fang Mingyuan said, "It and the white-tip dolphin are both endemic to the Yangtze River."
"Baiji dolphin, that freshwater whale known as the giant panda in the water?" Sihoyos asked, "I heard that it is already on the verge of extinction?"
Fang Mingyuan nodded and said that what he saw when searching for dolphin information made him feel heavy. With his intervention and subsequent sponsorship, the Siberian Tiger Artificial Breeding Base was successfully operated.
Although the rewilding of artificially bred Siberian tigers is also a difficult project, at least the Siberian tigers in China are temporarily out of danger of complete extinction. However, he ignored the existence of the white-tip dolphin, and today's finless porpoise is about to become the white-tip dolphin
The old way.
It’s not too late to make up for it. Now that you’ve noticed it, let’s make some efforts for it. By then, we can also use the reputation of Sihoyos to attract more attention to the protection of the Yangtze finless porpoise.
"Mr. Fang, there is something I don't know whether I should say." Sihoius hesitated for a moment and said.
"Huh? Please speak." Fang Mingyuan said.
Sihoyos pursed his lips and said: "I just said that before the Japanese slaughter dolphins in that bay, they will select some smart and healthy dolphins and sell them to traders. These dolphins will be sold to the park for dolphin shows after training.
Judging from the records we have obtained, in the past thirty years from the 1970s to 2000, Japan reported exporting 487 dolphins, of which 31 were sold to South Korea.
Twenty-nine went to the United States, 23 went to Hong Kong, and 20 went to Taiwan and were sold to mainland China... There are 241!"
Fang Mingyuan made a gesture to please continue. He didn't understand why Sihoyos mentioned this. For parks like the aquarium, dolphin shows can be said to be the trump card program to attract children. In the past few years in China, various provinces have
Many aquariums have been built, so it is not surprising that the demand for dolphins has grown.
"Perhaps many people think that dolphins raised by humans will be very happy. They don't have to worry about natural enemies, including humans, lack of food, or diseases, because there are keepers and veterinarians keeping an eye on them. But I want to
In fact, they are even more unfortunate! Dolphins are creatures that like to swim fast in the sea. They are also creatures that like to live in groups. They swim hundreds of miles every day in the sea. Keeping them in an aquarium is a good thing for them.
To put it simply, it is a kind of confinement! Can you understand the pain of a free man being locked up in a prison of tens of square meters for his whole life?" Sihoyos said with some excitement, "Australia and the United Kingdom have already
No more cetacean performances are allowed, and we are also working hard to push the United States to ban cetacean performances, China..."
Fang Mingyuan stretched out his hand to interrupt him, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "Mr. Sihoyos, I can understand your thoughts, and I can also understand the suffering of those artificially bred dolphins because they are not free, but in this matter,
I can't make any promises to you. China is very big and has a huge population. There are many people. This number may be hundreds of millions, including many children. They have never seen the sea with their own eyes in their lives, let alone
Those creatures in the sea. Moreover, it is very likely that they will not have such an opportunity in the rest of their lives. The aquarium is an important channel for them to understand creatures like dolphins. Otherwise, they can only know about them from TV.
What exactly are dolphins like? Moreover, if we ban dolphin performances, what about many animals in zoos and circuses? Are they also banned? If so, I should first ask our government to take back the
Giant pandas in the zoo, because at least in terms of quantity, they are more precious than dolphins."
Sihoyos opened his eyes wide, and for a moment he didn't know how to convince Fang Mingyuan. This was indeed a problem. Dolphins need freedom, but don't tigers, lions, elephants, rhinos, and wolves need freedom? If not
Without the zoo, without the circus... He could already imagine that people's anger would be like a volcanic eruption.
"However, I can promise that DreamWorks Pictures will donate all the global box office of this movie to promote the protection of dolphins and improve the living conditions of those artificially bred dolphins. I can also personally do something for the protection of dolphins.
Mental effort." Fang Mingyuan said. Although he said that he did not know how much box office "Dolphin Cove" received in his previous life, but this kind of money is hot, and it is easier for them to attack, so donating it all, on the one hand, can effectively provide support for
Doing some practical things to protect dolphins can also win a good reputation for DreamWorks.
And in Fang Mingyuan's view, protecting a species, let alone a large animal, even just a plant or an insect, is what humans who have now occupied a dominant position on the earth should do, but when it comes to protecting a certain species
It is impossible for a species to be protected in every possible way, even down to the individual. Just like cattle, it doesn’t matter how much the Indians want to protect and enshrine them, but they cannot require people in all countries in the world to treat cattle the same way they do.
.Unless this animal is as endangered as giant pandas and tigers. Although he supports the protection of dolphins, it would be putting the cart before the horse to put this protection above the interests of mankind. Of course, this does not mean that he refuses
Give these animals raised by humans better living conditions.
"I understand, thank you!" Sihoyos nodded solemnly and said, "I can agree to your two requests!" (My novel "Rebirth of Resource Tycoon" will be updated on the official WeChat platform.
