October 8, 2012, University of Southern California, sunny.
"Hurry up, the open class will start in 20 minutes."
"Isn't there still 20 minutes left? What's the rush?"
"You know what the hell, what class are we talking about today? I guess there are already a lot of people in the classroom vying for seats. If we don't go there early, there won't even be any seats!"
Several roommates shouted and ran straight to the classroom, not even bothering to eat the bread and milk in their hands.
There are many students like them. At this time, you can see small groups consisting of one, two, or three such people, all rushing in the same direction.
However, they couldn't grab a seat because the seats in the large classroom were already full at this time.
Large classroom No. 3.
At this time, the large classroom was already bustling with people, and the seats were full of people, while outside, there was a steady stream of people coming.
What class has such great charm?
There will be a university open class here today, and the content of the lecture is "Exploration of the Road to Creating Virtual Languages".
Logically speaking, this kind of boring course should not attract too many people's attention. Even if it does, there won't be such exaggerated people coming to listen. But now, the large classroom with 500 seats and the remaining space that can accommodate 700 people has been used.
It was crowded, and there were many people wandering outside the glass window.
The reason why it caused such a big stir is that this is a class related to "Avatar", and the lecturer is Professor Franmer, who was involved in the language design of "Avatar".
After the World Expo exhibition, with its ultra-wide and ultra-large screen and clear picture, as well as the layered 3D picture, coupled with the most advanced surround sound technology, imax has conquered the world with its unparalleled shocking audio-visual enjoyment.
Fans who are passionate about movies, basically no one can refuse the shocking audio-visual enjoyment. This is a kind of resonance from body to physiology to soul, which makes people feel elated and unable to extricate themselves.
Then, the world's first true IMAX-3D movie "Avatar" was announced to be released soon, which suddenly triggered a very sensational discussion about movie watching!!
As a knowledgeable and energetic young man, most of the students at the University of Southern California are movie lovers, and "Avatar" has already conquered most college students with its imax-3D. At this time, I heard that with "Avatar"
》How can we not run over to the relevant lectures with a lot of fuss and crawling on the ground?
Professor Franmer combed his hair meticulously, arranged his clothes neatly, and then stepped steadily out of his residence and walked to the large classroom No. 3. When he came to the open class classroom, he saw everyone surrounding him
The students outside the big classroom laughed. He had expected that this would happen.
Entering the classroom through a narrow path that the students stepped aside, the students who had been waiting for a long time began to get excited.
"Professor, does "Avatar" really design a new language system?"
"Professor, have you read the script of "Avatar"?"
"Professor, can you tell us some of the plot of "Avatar"?"
"Professor, do you think the movie "Avatar" is good?"
"Professor, can you show us the alien language in "Avatar"?"
Questions came one after another, all for the Avatar, which made Francomo feel a little excited.
The rise of "Avatar" has also spread Professor Franmore's reputation to the world, making him known to more people. In the past few days, Professor Franmore has specifically checked the media and newspapers on the Internet.
, he found that his name and some other work partners had a very high exposure rate. This made him very happy.
Who doesn’t want to be famous?
And what gave him all this was "Avatar". He was very lucky that he was able to participate in "Avatar" in the first place.
This time, he took advantage of the spring breeze of the press conference to organize a public class on "Avatar". The purpose was to increase the exposure of "Avatar". As long as "Avatar" is a big success, then Franco Mo will definitely
Be remembered by history!
Just to appease the students' emotions, Franmer gave a formal lecture.
"When Pandora's system was created, not only scientists from the three disciplines of biology, physics, and language were involved. There were also history, archeology, and climate involved. The number of scientists involved in the design exceeded 100 people...
"
"The language writing form of Avatar Namei combines oracle bones, pictographs, Mayan... blended together to form a unique writing form. However, its vocabulary is not large, and it is not enough to form a real language.
system."
"In "Avatar", Pandora is not the same planet as the earth. They have their spiritual sustenance, their gods, and their biological habits. The Na'vi language involved here is the one used by the Na'vi people.
It is a language used for daily communication and worshiping gods.”
"There are many creatures in Pandora, and for many of them we will design a name in Na'vi. We have designed a Pandora Encyclopedia for the entire Pandora, which describes them in detail in Chinese, English and Na'vi.
.”
"The reason why we talk about language is that it has its own grammar and can flexibly adhere to a paragraph through multiple words."
Franmer's lectures were of a very high standard and he was eloquent. At the same time, his language was emotionally provocative. All the students were sometimes dumbfounded, sometimes excited, and sometimes scratching their heads.
"I'm looking forward to "Avatar" even more. It would be a waste not to watch this kind of work!!"
“Be sure to grab the iamx movie tickets!!”
…
The open class lasted for a full two and a half hours. Franmer was still very satisfied with his lecture, and the students were also fascinated by it. So the originally one-and-a-half-hour open class was postponed for an hour. Until many people
I reluctantly ended the class after feeling hungry.
However, Professor Franmore did not get dizzy. He did not reveal any of the plot in Avatar. He only introduced the language structure, daily communication of the Na'vi people, sacrificial language, etc...
After the course ended, the content of this open course was quickly announced on the World Film Online Forum, which immediately aroused the attention and heated discussion of countless movie fans.
The so-called World Film Network Forum was only officially established in 2010. It uses the latest network technology and is jointly funded by film associations from all over the world to build a worldwide network. In addition, English and Chinese are extremely popular, so
Fans from all over the world can speak freely in English and Chinese here. This forum has only been established for less than a year, but because of the barrier-free chat across borders and regions, the number of members has grown to several in just one year.
Billion!! And almost all of them are movie lovers.
This forum has quickly become a target for many film companies around the world, hoping to advertise in it. It has also become a gathering place for many news media, reporters, filmmakers, and film companies.
However, since October 2012, "Avatar" has become the darling of this online forum, and every issue in it has been a hot topic for countless fans.
None of Professor Franmer's public lectures has fueled this craze again.
"The conscience of the film industry - according to Professor Franmer of the University of Southern California, the team of scientists and designers of Pandora has more than a hundred people, involving various disciplines. This investment alone exceeds 50 million US dollars! It is enough to invest in a medium-sized film
Hollywood movie."
"An unprecedented amount of money. According to Professor Franmer's inadvertent revelation, the investment in "Avatar" was not only US$440 million, but was followed by an additional huge amount of nearly US$60 million. In other words, the investment amount in "Avatar" has exceeded
$500 million!"
"Professor Franmore revealed that there are gods in Pandora, and there will be rituals of sacrifice and worship in it."
"Pandora's customs will be completely different from those on Earth. After watching "Avatar", you may have a different perception of life."
The number of follow-up posts suddenly increased to dozens, and the number of replies also increased crazily, reaching tens of thousands in less than half an hour.
"Seeing this makes me look forward to it even more, but if I want to watch imax, I have to drive at least 700 kilometers."
"It would be a pity in life not to watch such a movie."
"The people of South Africa sent a congratulatory message! Thank you Tianwang Film and Television for establishing the iamx cinema here."
"The Vietnamese people sent a congratulatory message. Vietnam has finally received iamx equipment and is building an imax theater."
Just when Professor Franmer's public class at the University of Southern California attracted widespread attention, on October 12, biologist Barzel of the University of Cambridge organized a public class at the university. The title was "Looking at the Appearance from Avatar."
