Chapter 318: Parallel Universe

"So who are the four nations in the magic apprentice alluding to in the real world?" With the popularity of "Magic Apprentice", discussions about the story and story background of "Magic Apprentice" have gradually spread on the Internet. Brain-opening netizens began to exert their imagination, so the topic of so-called "insinuation" began to gradually spread on the Internet.

Chinese readers are the most enthusiastic about this topic, and at the same time have the most brainstorms. First of all, a veteran lover of this work summarized the history of various countries by himself, piled them up, and then analyzed them from these clues: the conclusion was that Sophion was clearly China, Kaozchi was the United States, the United Kingdom of Ledein was obviously the Soviet Union, and Montita was the prototype of the Yellow Peril in the minds of Westerners - the Mongols. His "well-founded" and detailed analysis was translated by professional translators and posted on major English forums and forums in major European countries, which immediately stimulated the interest of local netizens. For example, compared with the global views of netizens in other countries, especially Chinese netizens, European countries generally limit their thinking to the European continent. They like to use geography and history to match magical stories, and the final conclusion is that this is actually a civil war in a group of European countries.

The discussion among Chinese netizens was enthusiastic, and in the end they focused their attention on modern history, substituting the protagonist of the story with real historical figures, so that American netizens who were not interested in this kind of topic also participated. As a result, Kaoch's status was reversed, and it became the Soviet Union. This aroused the interest of the Japanese, who simply turned the historical figure into a character from The Magic Apprentice. But Gorbachev could not in any way correspond to Horkols III, although both of them were reformers.

Quoting from European netizens and applying European historical figures. The discussions in China, the United States, Japan, and South Korea were more like nonsense, but the participants were so happy to carry personal goods into the discussions, so much so that some serious reporters tried to interview the original author and asked him what he was writing on the basis of it.

Lan Jing, who was immersed in writing and trying to end "Demon Warrior", was a little confused when asked, and he had to say that the description of historical military affairs in his story was based on some real historical events. However, this adaptation itself belongs to the processing of materials, and it is not completely hidden. The reporter seemed a little dissatisfied, as if in his opinion, if the story itself was really an allusion to history, it seemed interesting.

In such a movement, it cannot but be said that there is no active figure of Shen Zhenghui here, at least a lot of interactive discussion of the translation work was completed by Shen Zhenghui's instructions. Tong guò has established publishing accounts on major websites in various countries and authoritatively published translations of various royal posts. The site is gradually expanding its influence around the world, although it is likely that it is not profitable in itself.

The websites of Babel (Japan) and Longteng (China) have been officially established a long time ago, and then this opportunity to promote themselves well, so far, they do not see any hope of making a profit, but their appearance seems to have opened up a new path in some aspects, so that many venture capital firms subconsciously think that this is an emerging development direction of the Internet. Indeed, it does not in itself produce economic benefits. But as a platform, it seems to be doing some kind of work to communicate with the world. Keen people subconsciously feel that its future is very bright. With the development of the Internet, it will gradually gain some kind of public influence, but how to realize this influence and the scale of expansion is another question.

So far, Shen Zhenghui and Mitsumi Fukuda have no plans to introduce venture capital, but they have begun to prepare for major countries to set up local translation websites to present foreign Internet hot discussions in the form of local languages. Help local people understand what people around the world think. This work, as their website proclaims, is the Tower of Babel.

With the exception of China's website, which is called Longteng, the websites of other countries will be unified under the name of Babel. Then, Hollywood's entertainers were the first to discover the site's role as a tool that exploited people's curiosity about the minds of exotic peoples. Although on his website, there are also interesting and hot topic posts on websites in various other countries, but there is no doubt that the Tower of Babel quickly attracted Internet users who were interested in learning about their own country, and gradually made them get used to the fact that Babel began to intervene in their lives, and cultivated a new Internet lifestyle - going to certain websites will become your habit: Google, Facebook, Youku, Tower of Babel, etc., More and more people began to get used to watching the news on the portal, and then going to the Tower of Babel to see how the people of foreign countries evaluated the hot spots in their countries and what they themselves said on the hot spots.

This is almost beyond Shen Zhenghui's imagination, although he is a traverser, but he really doesn't know what websites like Longteng and Santai Tiger rely on to make profits, but he probably regards the Babel website as a necessary tool in his hands. In the strict sense, as a cultural company, and a profit-making company that mainly focuses its energy and profit goals abroad, if it does not have an elite translation team, it will not be able to play at all. Shen Zhenghui's consciousness is not to specialize in cultivating translators, the cost is too high, and to make a special platform, not only to serve himself, so it is very good.

The timing of this thing's appearance, no, or rather, the timing of its efforts to enter the public eye is too ingenious. When Google grew into a giant, QQ, MSN, and Facebook started the era of online social networking, there was a sudden emergence of platform sites like the Tower of Babel, and its ambition seemed to be to be a platform for the whole world, and what he did made those big websites that were portals and tried to localize their respective branches suddenly opened up new ideas - so in fact, we don't need to have to localize the content as well? People are also interested in news and communication outside of their home countries, aren't they?

But Shen Zhenghui didn't realize his Internet thinking, and Babel was quickly favored by advertising agencies, who asked for customized special advertising services to translate their ads into the local language and deliver them accurately. Then Shen Zhenghui and Fukuda Mitsumi found that the Tower of Babel would probably be able to get rid of the dilemma of burning money in the near future and enter the ranks of self-support. And at the same time. They need more migrant translators.

Even a time-traveler will encounter a reality that surprises them.

Of course, fans are not only interested in the political and historical background of the story, but the appearance of the movie has given everyone more topics to discuss, especially with the popularity of the movie box office, the leading actors of the movie have also attracted everyone's attention. The little-known Mario catapulted to world stardom. and Daniel. Radcliffe was just as lucky. What is particularly impressive is that his appearance in women's clothing in "Magic Apprentice" once made people feel that he was indefatigable, especially since his background is still Thai, although the media immediately reported his German and Chinese mixed ancestry, but there are still a large number of people who do not know the truth and believe that there are such androgynous characters as Zài in Thailand, and they are attracted to both men and women. Although this view cannot be said to be wrong, if you have enough common sense, you can know that Fenathia is indeed a cute boy. Her girly voice was prepared in the later stage, which made her more and more feminine, so that no one felt disobedient in the part where Hegeelo fell in love with the women's clothing Enleko, and when someone suggested that Mario's women's clothing was simply beautiful, some people who realized it suddenly woke up and asked what you were talking about just now, oh! Blind my dog's eye.

This made the friends who thought that Enleko and Fenathia were two people who were stunned, so this became a new hype topic. Actually, it's not news in the United States, but it's in East Asia. Many people followed the American netizens and were surprised. The large number of netizens has gradually divided them into different groups, and one group is very scary, and that is the rotten girl. Of course, the rotten girl group is slowly cultivated, and "Magic Apprentice" seems to be a good catalyst, although the actors in it are not famous, but when selecting actors, almost all of them are operated according to their appearance. Therefore, "The Magic Apprentice" has become a classic material for the expansion of the rotten girl group. A large number of screenshots of the film began to circulate on the Internet.

When this first film was drawn, the results were not particularly high - of course, this is just Shen Zhenghui's personal opinion, and the global box office reached 690 million, which seems to be a kind of irony. "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings" are on top of it, and there are classic series like "Star Wars" on it, and below it is "Forrest Gump".

It must be said that Columbia and Sony have achieved great success, but Kasuga and Shen Zhenghui themselves have benefited more from this achievement. There are many analytical articles that Shen Zhenghui's global casting is the guarantee of this film's big hit, his crew is full of Americans, British, French, Italians, Chinese and Thais, so whether it is America, Europe or Asia, this film is a big hit, especially China and Japan, although several Japanese actresses only showed their faces in the film, of course, Kasuga's investment is also a factor, which made the film achieve amazing results in Japan, more than 13 billion yen, But it is still under the "Book of Strange Events of Ryoko of Yakushiji Temple".

However, Japan contributed 100 million US dollars to the box office, and China was not to be outdone by contributing 50 million US dollars to support its local directors, and Thailand was a big surprise, this film won 500 million baht at the box office in Thailand, surpassing the 484.5 million baht of "Queen of Siam", which shows the enthusiasm of the Thai people for their little prince - yes, Mario won such a title, which is Shen Zhenghui's box office record in Thailand, and it also surprised everyone else in Thailand, After all, for such a country with a population of 60 million, it actually contributed nearly 15 million US dollars to the box office, which is a bit incredible. After all, as a Western-themed film, many people thought that the main force of the box office would be Europe and the Americas, but the box office in Asia sprung up, and the contribution of the entire Asian region to the global box office reached 200 million US dollars, almost the same as Europe. 290 million US dollars in North America, not more than 300 million US dollars seems to be a bit lacking in stamina, but the global box office results are still enough to make several other major companies red, especially this series of movies can obviously be filmed by word of mouth, as long as the next box office falls below 600 million, it will not cause word of mouth to be ruined, this is a commercial series of movies of an attraction. What's even more bloody is that the director is still filming so fast, and well-informed people already know that the next two sequels are in special effects.

This will undoubtedly stimulate the enthusiasm of fans even more, and the actions of the Tower of Babel website seem to make everyone realize that it seems entirely possible to maintain the topic of "Magic Apprentice" for half a year, and wait until the sequel is released, especially in order to cooperate with the movie, the follow-up translation series of the English translation, French translation, Italian, Spanish and other versions of "The Magic Apprentice" have begun to be promoted and distributed again, which has greatly maintained the enthusiasm of fans, and Chinese fans seem to feel that they are the luckiest, They have already seen the ending in advance, and audiences in the rest of the world have to wait.

People in the rest of the world didn't know about this before, but now with the Babel website, so soon people in the rest of the world know that the Chinese are ahead of them and see the end of the story. Many people have mixed reactions, some hope to see the ending soon, hope to see the translation of Wild Translator, and some resolutely refuse to spoil and wait for the sequel movie, in this sense, the Internet is really making the earth smaller.

But just as Shen Zhenghui was returning to China and preparing to continue preparing for the resumption of filming, he received a call from Wang Anran, "Big news," he said, "Did you watch last night's news broadcast?" ”

"No, I just came back from abroad." Shen Zhenghui was a little confused, "What news?" While thinking, he thought about what kind of news was worth calling Wang Anran to give him.

"Li Guan has passed away." Wang Anran said.

"Former Standing Committee," Shen Zhenghui was a little confused, "but what does this have to do with me?" ”

"He is Li Yun's father and Li Rui's grandfather." Wang Anran shouted on the other end of the phone.

"So what?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically.

"The marriage between the Sun family and the Li family may be variable." Wang Anran said.

Shen Zhenghui felt a faint pain in his forehead, "You are really ...... Salty and don't worry about eating radish, how many times have I said it, it's impossible for me and Sun Jingfang, what's the matter with me? ”

"There's one more thing," Mr. Wang said, changing the subject.

"The best is really worth my attention." Shen Zhenghui responded.

"Something happened to Puhai's secretary." Wang Anran replied.

This was when he was deeply impressed in his memory, Shen Zhenghui's mind began to work, "What does it have to do with me?" ”

"It has something to do with me." Wang Anran replied, "I'm thinking about whether to go to Puhai." ”

"What are you anxious about, stay in Yuhang and boil slowly!" Shen Zhenghui replied angrily, but he immediately realized another question, "What do you mean......"

"The leader asked me if I wanted to move." Wang Anran replied.

You tell me this, you're looking for the wrong person, right? Shen Zhenghui thought to himself. (To be continued......)

ps: Wow, full attendance award!
