Egawa.

International Convention and Exhibition Center.

On the occasion of the 7th China Animation & Game Exhibition, animation practitioners from various countries and regions gathered together.

Gu Miao, who had planned to promote "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" overseas, naturally did not miss this rare opportunity and rented an exhibition area in the name of "Wolfsburg Animation Company".

I almost didn't catch up.

When Director Wang reminded him, there was less than one day left before the deadline for registration for the exhibition.

What's that time for?

Arrange the exhibition area, determine the theme of the exhibition, arrange some peripheral derivatives, and urgently print a batch of low-value brochures and posters......

When Gu Miao finished these preliminary preparations and was about to exhibit to the public and the media, he suddenly remembered one thing.

There should be foreigners visiting, right?

If you don't ask for a translator, prepare an English version of the brochure, which foreigners can understand?

But here's the problem!

Tomorrow is going to the exhibition, where can he find a good translator? I had to ask students for help from the foreign language departments of several universities near Jiangchuan on a temporary basis.

What is the quality of the translation......

"What the hell is Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf?" Gu Miao asked suspiciously.

Cool sheep, big wolf?

Say yes to Sindaya!

Gu Miao, who barely said 'RNM refunds', rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Although I don't have a high level of education, I also know that goat means goat." ”

Pleasant goats are not goats!

Anyway, this is a translation error, and it would be more appropriate to use sheep here.

Confusing goats and sheep is just a small problem, and the reason why Gu Miao is dissatisfied is mainly because compared to the translations of other characters' names, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf seem too casual.

The red wolf is called Wolnie!

The name of the sheep is Tibbie, a nickname for the Christian name Isabella, which is derived from Spanish and Hebrew and means "God's vow" and is pronounced Isabella.

The lazy sheep is called Paddi, pronounced Paddi, a pure neologism.

The slow sheep is called Mr. Slowy, literally translated as "Mr. Slow......

After reading these names, and then looking at the translation of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, that is, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, the gap came out in an instant.

"Make do with it!"

Ma Kui shook his head and said, "Let the translator think of another name temporarily, not only is it too late, but I'm afraid it may not be better than the current one." ”

"No, this can't be sloppy."

Gu Miao shook her head and refused.

The title of an animation is very important. Forget about other characters, the names of the two protagonists, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, must be a good sound.

If the translator can't do it, then he'll do it himself!

If he remembers correctly, the original world Pleasant Goat is more pronounced, and the popular translation of the name seems to be Weslie.

Not that Wesley......

To be exact, this should be a variant of Wesley plus the ie suffix, which can be understood as Wesley Jr.

The more popular translation of the gray wolf is Wolffy, which adds the fy suffix after the wolf's English "wolf", a bit like the form of Luffy.

Weslie and Wolffy！

Isn't that much more concise and smooth?

"What a bullshit translation, hurry up and let him get out, next time there is such a name, just call me."

Gu Miao patted Ma Kui's shoulder and said earnestly: "The water is too deep here, you can't grasp it, you have to let me come!" ”

Ma Kui: "......"

Is this really Mr. Gu's name?

Does he still have the ability? Marquis didn't believe it.

I must have found someone to translate it in advance, so I deliberately took this opportunity to show it off.

Do you want to demolish him?

……

Early the next morning, Gu Miao arrived at the convention and exhibition center with two employees of the company.

Pile up the peripheral derivatives, erect a big "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" promotional poster, connect to the display provided by the organizer, and everything is ready.

Just waiting for the visitors to visit!

In order to better reflect the production level of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf and attract more passers-by to watch, Gu Miao's animation broadcast in the exhibition area this time, in addition to some episodes that have been broadcast on TV stations, there is also a promotional video.

"Weird World Wars"!

Yes, in order to attract attention, Gu Miao did not hesitate to come up with a special chapter of the Eccentric World Operation that was still in the "preparation and production" stage.

Although this is only a trailer, the quality of the painting has been significantly improved by several notches, and with the gimmick of "fantasy underworld adventure", it is not worried about attracting passers-by.

Sure enough.

With the opening of the exhibition, a large number of tourists flocked to it. Outside the exhibition area to which Wolfsburg Animation belongs, a group of big friends and children soon gathered.

"Is this the next work?"

"The production level has improved by leaps and bounds! I can't believe it, this is an animated picture of a pleasant goat. ”

"The Underworld, kind of interesting."

"Mr. Gu, when will we see this special chapter?"

"It's coming! Soon! ”

Gu Miao explained with a smile as she broke free from the shackles of the bear children: "It is expected that by the end of this year or early next year, you will be able to see the Great Battle of the Weird Realm. ”

That's pretty fast.

Everyone thought about it, it's September now, and there are not a few months until the end of the year, so it's really fast.

"And that's not all!"

"We also have a special sequel planned for the upcoming London 2012 Olympic Games. The lambs will put aside their contradictions with the gray wolf and hold a grand sheep games......"

Yes?!

At the entrance of the exhibition area, two employees who were handing out brochures to everyone looked at each other, their expressions full of doubt.

Is there such a thing?

As a member of the Pleasant Goat animation production team, how did they not know that there was also this project? Besides, it's only 2010, so it's still early for the London Olympics, right?

Just when they wanted to find an opportunity to ask Mr. Gu what was going on with this "Olympic Special Project", a special visitor came to the exhibition area.

Mr. Ikeda!

As the expatriate representative of Neon TBS TV, after revealing his identity, he was immediately warmly received by Gu Miao.

"Gu Sang, your animation is very good!"

Ikeda gave a thumbs up and praised: "I've heard that the Pleasant Goat has been very popular lately, and the collection rate has broken records......

"Ahem, it's the ratings!"

After correcting the neon friend's pronunciation problem, Gu Miao immediately asked: "So, on behalf of TBS TV, do you want to introduce "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"?" ”

"Introduced?"

Ikeda looked confused and said, "I didn't say I wanted to introduce it?" I just wanted to ask you how to sell plush dolls in the exhibition area, and I want to buy one for my son. ”

God... Just want to buy a doll!

No way!

It's rare to catch a big fish, and if you don't get any benefits from him, Gu Miao is willing to let him go like this.

How much does it cost to sell a doll?

If Mr. Ikeda can pry open the door of TBS TV and allow Pleasant Goat to introduce neon, then it will be called making money.
