Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 485

"Apart from Shen Jian and Yang Wen, do you know the others?" On the way back, Zhang Zhong asked Chen Qing.

Chen Qing shook her head, "I'm not very familiar with them. According to Yang Wen's introduction, they are relatively well-known people in the film and television industry."

"It's useless to ask you." Zhang Zhong smiled. Chen Qing is a workaholic now, and he must have been a top student in the past. He doesn't watch too much TV.

"I will pay attention to collecting their information later. When Yang Wen introduced them just now, I have already remembered them all." Chen Qing said.

Zhang Zhong said helplessly, "I'm just asking casually, you don't have to take it too seriously."

"En." Chen Qing nodded, but he still wanted to go back and find out the information of those people just now.

"Chen Qing, do you think there are aliens?" Zhang Zhong looked up at the starry sky and asked suddenly.

Chen Qing didn't know why the boss suddenly asked this. After thinking about it, he said uncertainly, "There should be."

Zhang Zhong asked again: "Have you heard of the Fermi Paradox?"

"Fermi Paradox?" Chen Qing shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

Zhang Zhong explained, "In the 50s, when Nobel laureate Fermi was discussing aliens, he suddenly asked, 'Where are they?', and the scientific issues raised by this simple question , is the Fermi Paradox. If aliens exist, they evolved much earlier than humans, and should have come to the starfish and existed somewhere."

"So the Fermi Paradox is denying the existence of aliens?"

"It's not entirely true. The Fermi Paradox is an unanswered question. Different people have different understandings, and it's a bit complicated to say." Zhang Zhong raised his head again, looking at the star-studded night sky and said , "The night is good tonight. From our direction, we should be able to see more than 2000 stars, and this number is about 1000/[-] billion of the number of stars in the Milky Way."

"There are 1000 billion to 4000 billion stars in the Milky Way, and there are almost the same number of galaxies in the observable universe. Do you know what this means? It means that the number of stars in the observable universe is about ten to the 22nd power to 24 The sand on the starfish is only about [-] to the eighteenth power, so the number of stars can reach [-] times that of the sand on the starfish..."

Chen Qing was a little dazed when he heard that, he had never thought about these things, let alone the fact that there are many times more stars in the universe than the sand on starfish.

Zhang Zhong didn't stop, and continued to tell Chen Qing various conjectures and hypotheses about the existence or non-existence of aliens.

In fact, Zhang Zhong was just talking about some basic scientific knowledge, and these basic scientific knowledge is no longer applicable to Zhang Zhong.

Because he had been to a place called Earth that was almost exactly the same as a starfish, he couldn't even be sure if that place was in the same universe as he was now.

"Perhaps, after the discovery of aliens and a life that is completely different from human beings, human beings today can understand the shock of people at that time when the sun center said it."

Finally, Zhang Zhong sighed in conclusion.

He rambled on for 10, [-], [-] minutes, all because he just raised his head and glanced at the starry sky, but now the only one who can listen to his babbling is Chen Qing, this guy is still in a state of ignorance.

"Come on, get some sleep tonight."

……

After finishing his breakfast, Firmino went to the study room. On the desk were two books he bought from the Internet yesterday, namely "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" " and "Three-Body".

As a well-known sci-fi film director, the books he usually reads most are naturally sci-fi novels.

So this year he read the most novels by pz, but the high-intensity work some time ago left him no time to be distracted, so he didn't have time to read Zhang Zhong's two recent novels.

Now that his work is over, he decided to calm down and read these two books—no, it should be one, he can only read one now, because "The Three-Body Problem" has not yet been released in English, and the book in front of him is still from Huaxia. The Chinese version by mail.

He had no choice but to read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" ".

It didn't take long for Firmino to finish reading the novel.

But after reading the novel, many questions remained in his mind.

What is the standard for distinguishing human beings from bionics? Is it the test or the spinal cord test?When human beings can control their emotions through emotional regulators, when feelings and thoughts can be quantified as command strings and input into machines, and even when human beings' self-cognition changes with the times, how should human beings prove themselves?

Also, do androids dream of electric sheep?

Although according to the book, it is possible to answer that he will not dream, but after reading it, Firmino feels that the answer should be that he will dream.

This is a science fiction novel with wasteland culture, pz is really a genius.

But Firmino is a director after all, so after reading the novel, he re-examined the novel from the perspective of film and television adaptation, and the final answer is that although this novel is wonderful, if a movie is made according to the novel, Not very exciting, I'm afraid.

He is a director, so he naturally knows what the audience of the movie wants to see. There is only one male protagonist in the book, not even a female protagonist. The protagonist's wife doesn't seem to have any relationship with him.

This reminded him of Pz's previous book "The Wandering Sea Ball", the description of love in it was also so indifferent and impersonal.

Sometimes Firmino even suspects that pz himself is a cold-blooded man.

Of course, there is evidence against this guess. For example, the love between the hero and heroine in "A Bouquet for Algernon" is very moving.

If "Bionic Man" is to be made into a movie, more elements of love should be added.Firmino believes that love is also an important factor that distinguishes human beings from bionics, and it can be directly presented in movie screens. Although it is old-fashioned, it is very practical.

And if there is a heroine, he thinks that the female bionic person named Li Qiu is pretty good, and the protagonist seems to have some feelings for her...

Zhang Zhong didn't know that there was a film director who was thinking about how to make "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" " was adapted into a movie.

At this moment, he just woke up. Last night he slept surprisingly early. He fell asleep in bed after nine o'clock. He didn't even answer the phone call from Pengpeng.

In the morning, when he turned on his phone and saw the message, Zhang Zhong laughed. Pengpeng's work has passed the primary selection, that is, it has broken out of the municipal level and will be held in the provincial competition.

This is not easy. Although Jiangyang has [-] places as the provincial capital, [-] more than other cities, but Jiangyang has a large population and great competition pressure. It is already very good to be in the top [-].
