新西兰是个独具异国情调的国家,被太平洋环绕,有自己的土著文化——毛利文化,它吸引了不少电影人把目光投向这个不大的国度。“Weta”是新西兰特有的一种巨型蟋蟀。它可以毫不客气地长到10厘米长,是新西兰最大的昆虫。一开始,在新西兰以外,没有人知道Weta是什么。当好莱坞和全世界都因为电影《指环王1》而被这只巨型“蟋蟀”震惊的时候,它已变得不可阻挡。 New Zealand is an exotic country surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and has its own indigenous culture, Maori culture, which has attracted many filmmakers to look into this small country. Weta is a giant New Zealand cricket. It grows 10 meters in length and is the largest insect in New Zealand. From the beginning, no one outside of New Zealand knew what Weta was. It has become irresistible when Hollywood and the world are both horrified by the giant cricket movie Lord of the Rings 1.
