Another World Under My Pen

The rise of a country is always long and hard.

The easiest to rise is economic power, such as Germany in the 19th century, the United States in the early 20th century, RB in the second half of the 20th century, and China in the 21st century. There are populations and resources, and if there is a good international situation, the speed of economic rise of these countries is often beyond the expectations of established powers.

It's just that after economic strength has grown, military strength will take a long time to develop and accumulate if it wants to keep up. Especially in this era, the research and development cycle of any large piece of military equipment is a ten-year unit, and it is even more expensive to equip it.

And what is more difficult to rise is the political influence of a country.

For example, at the beginning of the 20th century, the United States had already surpassed European powers in terms of economic and industrial strength. After World War I, it opened the gap with Britain, France and other countries. However, its political influence cannot be directly proportional to its economic strength, and neither did the powers. Treat them as equal opponents. Until the Second World War was won, the economic, military, and technological strength far surpassed allies, and with the help of the Soviet Union's threat to Europe at that time, the United States could ascend the throne of Western hegemony!

But the most difficult thing to rise is undoubtedly the cultural influence.

It is still American. Even after the economy and industrial strength become the world's first, the American upper class still respects everything in Europe. Whenever something is popular in London or Paris, it will appear at the dance party in New York in less than half a year. The British accent has been one of the most powerful tools for making girls...

But the Americans are lucky because they speak English.

Under the painstaking management of the previous overlord, English is the global cultural passport. In addition, the Americans have used their strong economic, military and political strength to **** cultural exports, spare no effort to promote their culture and values ​​to the world, and gradually let Hollywood , Grammy, etc. have become popular symbols. It’s difficult for cultures in other languages ​​to have such opportunities. Just look at the most influential singers in the world. Basically, except for Americans, they are British. It is difficult for French, German and Japanese to break out of their own country. .

A typical example is the RB on earth.

When the RB economy was at its strongest in the 1980s and 1990s, their cultural soft power seemed unattainable. For example, the Chinese were familiar with movies such as "The Hunt", TV series such as "Volleyball Girls" and "Tokyo Love Story", and More cartoons, such as "Saint Seiya", "Draco Cat", etc., even in the field of music, Sun Peng remembers that there are people on the Internet saying that a certain RB female singer is the savior of the Chinese music scene, that is, Hong Kong and Taiwan cover that year. The strong style of RB song...

At that time, the total sales of RB's casual singers were tens of millions!

However, it seems that the strong cultural strength of RB can only be performed in powerful countries such as Europe and the United States. Many queens who tried to enter the English music scene have met with bloodshed. And after the Korean Wave flourished and China's economy rose, RB's cultural influence dropped all the way!

By the time Sun Peng crossed, apart from the mess of comics and animation, you can hardly expect the "low investment" RB movies in the eyes of China and the United States to set off many storms in the world; in music, the Korean Oppa and Ouni They seem to be more powerful. Even the Japanese dramas that were popular in Asia that year are rarely seen by anyone except fans.

Although there are factors such as national relations, introduction costs, copyrights, and the increasing diversification of public tastes, it is undeniable that it originally has the most solid foundation, the most complete system, and the RB in the world’s third market. It seems that they are more willing to produce and sell themselves, and their international influence has indeed declined a lot.

Even the animation industry has hidden worries.

Because right next to their country, there is an economic power that has begun to rise rapidly, and it is a major power that has begun to catch up in the cultural industry. There is no shortage of funds and technology, and the booming Internet literature can provide enough sources of creativity. The rise of domestic animation requires only conceptual learning and experience accumulation, as well as market cultivation and development. This process may be very long and difficult...

The inevitable result of the growth of the country's overall strength is not shifted by human will.

In fact, it’s just one sentence. In Sun Peng’s eyes, China today should be China 20 years from the earth. Although strong economic power has spawned a sufficiently powerful military force and political influence has also increased day by day, because the mainstream international language is still It is English, and China's comprehensive strength is far from overwhelming the United States and Europe. Therefore, China's culture has a long way to go to completely regain lost ground, let alone influence the world.

The journey of Westerners for hundreds of years is not so easy to finish.

Whether the Chinese government in this world or the cultural and entertainment industry, in fact, these years have been actively working towards going global. For example, China’s epic blockbusters have begun to go abroad, and the overseas box office is gradually rising. The overseas box office of "Zhu Xianzhen" that Sun Peng watched last year was 1.1 billion, which is equivalent to more than 100 million U.S. dollars, which is quite impressive. Up!

In a sense, this is a good breakthrough.

China's own huge market for original film, music, animation, literature, etc., in Sun Peng's view, is the prerequisite for future success. The accumulation of Huaxia people in various art fields is the foundation of success! After all, when the childhood of millions of children is no longer just textbooks and little books, or to roll hoop or jump rubber bands, but to learn music, art, dance, and performance from an early age, who dares to say that they will not be in the future? Some talented singers, talented painters and talented actors?

So in Sun Peng's view, the distress of those movie stars and singers is just the darkness before dawn...

...

"Hehe, I think this is why those English songs are the most popular."

After explaining Chase to his girlfriend, Sun Peng said with a smile: "Now the domestic music market is very mature and the competition is fierce, and there are a lot of queens and queens after decades. If you want to go further, you can only go out, but But it’s not easy to compose good English songs in China, so they are naturally very enthusiastic about these songs."

"Hmm... after all, is English songs more influential?"

After blinking, Zheng Jia asked with some uncertainty.

As a young man born after the rise of Huaxia, Huaxia has been very strong for most of his life, so it is difficult for Zheng Jia to appreciate the feeling of Sun Peng in his previous life, and it is difficult to understand such things.

"Hehe, I think it should be."

After thinking about it, Sun Peng nodded and smiled: "It took the British and Americans for hundreds of years to make English the most influential language in the world. How many years have we worked hard? So... hehe, It’s understandable if you have such thoughts and practices. Otherwise, do you think it’s better to be called a Chinese superstar, an Asian superstar, or a world superstar?"

"Hehe, I understand!"

Zheng Jia pursed his lips, and finally understood what Sun Peng meant.

But after thinking about it for a while, Zheng Jia's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said excitedly: "Oh, according to what you said, the person who got those songs in the end... wouldn't it be so popular in foreign countries? No wonder I! I still think it’s strange how many songs have attracted so many people, and even two kings have also jumped out..."

"Hahaha..."

After listening to Zheng Jia's words, Sun Peng suddenly laughed: "It's a big hit? How could it be?! It's just a few songs, and it's still a Chinese singer. It's not bad that they can remember the singer's name! "

Sun Peng never doubted the power of a few songs.

It was originally a popular hit in Europe and the United States, and they are all the ones with particularly good results. It must be a high probability event to be popular in this world. But to say that with these few songs can be popular in Europe and America, it is a bit nonsense-where is such an easy thing?

In Zheng Jia's stunned look, Sun Peng smiled and shook his head and said: "Just a few songs can't support a so-called international superstar. At best, they are just a few stepping stones, but the weight is slightly heavier..."
