"Grandma, look, this monster is so big, but it's fake."
"Of course it's fake. This is a gift from your father." Hu Huifang smiled.
Pengpeng walked around Pikachu and touched Pikachu's ears, "Dad, which cartoon is this from? Why haven't I seen it?"
"How old are you? There are many cartoons that you have never seen." Hu Huifang said.
Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "It's called Pikachu, but dad has forgotten which cartoon it is from."
In fact, Zhang Zhong was not familiar with Pikachu, but he often saw Pikachu on the Internet, so he remembered its appearance and thought it was quite fun.
Moreover, the Pikachu in front of him was made by Zhang Zhong based on his impressions, so it’s hard to say how similar it is to the real Pikachu.
Pikachu looks very cute. Even though Pengpeng has never seen Pokemon, he fell in love with this image at first sight.
When Zhang Zhong was originally choosing a doll image in his mind, he considered domestic animation characters such as Calabash Baby, but he later rejected it because Calabash doll might not be too lovable when made into a doll.
With the New Year's gift, Pengpeng can't sleep even more.
She dragged Pikachu, who was about the same height as her, to the second floor of the cabin and introduced Pikachu to the other dolls.
"Don't bully him just because he's new here."
Zhang Zhong laughed when he heard this. This Pikachu's figure is also outstanding among many Pengpeng dolls. When it comes to bullying, Pikachu bullies other dolls. Besides, Pikachu is a "warcraft", the kind with skills.
…
Liang Han returned to the magazine on the third day of the Lunar New Year. His vacation was not supposed to end until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, but he was relieved that he would not be working at the magazine, so he came back.
The company does not encourage employees to take the initiative to work overtime. On the one hand, it takes into consideration the employees' health, and on the other hand, the company's overtime pay is quite high.
Of course, Liang Han is different. He does not receive a fixed salary and does not receive overtime pay no matter how much overtime he works.
Although it was only the third day of the Lunar New Year, several people had already arrived at the magazine. Liang Han walked through the editor's office area and greeted several young people.
"Happy New Year everyone."
Seeing the boss coming, the young employees also smiled and said hello.
When he went to the office, Liang Han poured himself a cup of tea, then slowly waited until the tea reached the right temperature, then took a sip.
Without drinking such a sip of tea, he felt like he couldn't carry out his work.
Without the assistant, Liang Han had to do a lot of work by himself.
But there was no need to worry. He sorted out the backlog of things over the past few days one by one and prepared to deal with them slowly.
In fact, they were all less urgent matters. After all, if it was an urgent matter, he would have already known about it.
He handled a lot of things casually, and also took time to help the editorial department read a few manuscripts that had been submitted during the last call for papers.
However, in the afternoon, he saw a piece of news that interested him. The American branch asked if the Chinese version could be released in the next issue.
The magazine had thought about this before, but considered the issue of efficiency and rejected it.
There is indeed demand for the Chinese version in the United States, but this demand is not enough, and the release of the Chinese version may have an impact on the sales of the original English version.
Many people who want to watch the Chinese version can also choose to watch the English version. If the Chinese version is available, they will move to the Chinese version.
In this way, the left hand will be used instead of the right hand, and the benefits will be even less.
However, although this matter was rejected at the time, the magazine never let it go. Now that it was brought up over there, Liang Han also had some ideas.
In fact, "Zero Zero One" has brought a lot to Americans.
Because of Zhang Zhong, Americans would go to bookstores to buy an English version of "Zero Zero One", but because of "Zero Zero One", Americans got to know many other Chinese writers.
There are three typical writers, namely Yu Dongyu, Zhao Re and Qin Zhao.
Yu Dongyu became famous very early, but his fame is limited to China. However, the "Thousand Doors" series of novels serialized in "Zero Zero One" has also gained a lot of fans in the United States.
"Thousand Doors" is a collection of short stories, starting from "Thousand Doors Wuyi", which was serialized in the second issue of "Zero Zero One", and this series of novels is serialized in every subsequent issue.
These short stories are closely related to each other, and a total of thirty-six stories eventually form a big story.
"Thousand Gates" mainly tells the story of a mysterious sect "Thousand Gates" in the world during a period of more than 100 years from the mid-Song Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty.
These stories can be said to be martial arts stories or detective stories. Each short story has a different theme and different character backgrounds, but there is only one core - wisdom and strategy.
Some are about gods searching for thieves, some are about big thieves robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and some are about ancient business wars. There are all kinds of strategies and strategies that make people overwhelmed.
Americans have rarely been exposed to these before, and when I first watched them, they were a little unaccustomed to the background and story style.
But after watching it, many people suddenly felt that after getting used to this style, they actually found it very good-looking, and even became interested in the ancient Chinese arena.
In fact, the most important point at the core of cultural export is that everyone must understand one thing - it's not that others don't like it, they just aren't used to it. The more they see it, the more they will get used to it.
In fact, the popularity of "Thousand Doors" in North America has a lot to do with Zhang Zhong, not only because Zhang Zhong brought "Zero Zero One" to Americans, but also because of his previous book "I am a Fortune Teller".
After Zhang Zhong appeared on the Tease You column last time, this book also became popular.
The style of this book is somewhat similar to "Thousand Doors", so after reading "I Am a Fortune Teller", it will be much easier to accept "Thousand Doors".
Not only "Thousand Doors", but also some novels by Zhao Re and science fiction novels by Qin Zhao.
Especially Qin Zhao surprised them. They suddenly discovered that besides Zhang Zhongdi's works, Huaxia also had many other excellent works.
Compared with Zhang Zhong, although Qin Zhao's works are a little immature, their style is very strong.
Thinking of this, Liang Han thought of a new writer.
He is a writer who has become popular in recent issues of "Zero Zero One". This writer specializes in writing suspense stories, and they are all traditional Chinese ghost stories.
After these issues are released in the United States, perhaps Americans will also be interested in traditional Chinese ghost stories.
No matter what, things have to be done step by step.
Anyway, Liang Han is very motivated now. He believes that as long as Zhang Zhong is at the front to help them clear the way, other outstanding works from China will sooner or later be able to penetrate into the hearts of foreigners.
