The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 260 Cultural Export
"Luo Ming, I'm going back to Bingzhou!" Lin Shuwen opened the door and said eagerly.

"Ah? Why do you want to go back suddenly?" Luo Ming asked after stopping his yoga movements.

"The company's game 5.1 is about to be released, can you not go back?"

Only then did Luo Ming remember this. He hesitated and said, "Wenwen, do you have nothing to do this week?"

"No, Sister Shan hasn't taken any jobs for me recently."

"Then let's go back together! Not only "Plants vs. Zombies Mobile Game" but also "Neihan Duanzi" will be launched on 5.1. I think I will be there too." After speaking, Luo Ming took out his mobile phone and dialed Sister Shan's number.

Coincidentally, Sister Shan is not in the company at the moment. She has an endorsement to discuss today and is driving to the hotel.

Seeing a phone open, Sister Shan turned on the speakerphone and picked it up.

"Sister Shan, I don't have much work these days, right?" Luo Ming asked.

"No."

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the two got on the plane and returned to Bingzhou at 5 o'clock.

"I've wanted to come back for a long time, but I couldn't buy a plane ticket." Lin Shuwen subconsciously made an excuse.

"Huh? Is this A8 newly bought by Rong Mu?" Luo Ming asked curiously.

"Go ahead! Don't forget to prepare the songs for "Singer" this week."

Rong Mu arranged for someone from the company to pick them up.

When Lin Shuwen heard this, she turned her eyes and pointed at Luo Ming and said, "Indeed, it's all his fault if a woman harms the country. If it weren't for him, I would have come back a long time ago."

The driver smiled and didn't dare to answer.

It was already 5: pm when the two of them arrived at Zhuoguang, and there was only half an hour left before getting off work.

"I've only been away for a few days. Does the company have a special car?"

"Don't worry, don't forget."

This person has used Lin Shuwen as a shield, what else can he say?

"I think you are too happy to miss Shu!"

"That's fine." After saying that, Sister Shan hung up the phone.

Rong Mu glanced at Luo Ming, a little speechless.

"Then I want to go back to Bingzhou. The new game from Zhuoguang is about to be released."

"No, Mr. Lin, this is our company's special car." The driver explained.

"Okay, okay! Stop talking nonsense and come here quickly. I have something to tell you."

Lin Shuwen nodded and went to pack her things.

"It's done, let's go back together!"

"Hey! Isn't this Mr. Luo, our boss of Zhuoguang? Is he willing to come back?" Rong Mu's sinister voice sounded in the ears of the two of them.

But the employees of Zhuoguang didn't seem to have any intention of getting off work, and they were all working enthusiastically.

Then the three of them went to Rong Mu's office together, and Wen Wan happened to be there too.

"Er Ming, take a look at this." Rong Mu handed a folder to Lin Shuwen.

Lin Shuwen opened it and browsed it quickly, then handed it to Luo Ming.

This document is a breakdown of the funds spent on the promotion of "Plants vs. Zombies Mobile Game" during this period.

"You don't need to show me this. You know it yourself. Just be able to handle the penguin side." Lin Shuwen said.

Rong Mu was used to "Luo Ming's" attitude, but no matter what Luo Ming said, Rong Mu would still prepare financial statements for Luo Ming to see every time, and he would not take Luo Ming's trust for granted.

"Er Ming, didn't I send out a reservation for the "Plants vs. Zombies Mobile Game" today?" Rong Mu said in a different direction.

Lin Shuwen nodded.

"This reservation was made both at home and abroad. I found that the popularity of "Plants vs. Zombies Mobile Game" seems to be higher abroad than at home."

"How to say?"

"I publish reservations abroad according to the time of each country, and they are basically later than at home. And now the total number of reservations abroad is already more than at home."

Lin Shuwen was a little surprised when she heard this, and she glanced at Luo Ming.

Luo Ming cleared his throat and said: "I think it's quite normal. "Plants vs. Zombies" has always been very popular abroad, especially after we released the imitators. There are more anchors broadcasting "Plants vs. Zombies" on YouTube than There used to be more.

Domestic live broadcast platforms have just emerged, and not many people are watching live broadcasts. Without such a large publicity channel, it is normal for more people to make reservations. "

After listening to Luo Ming's words, Rong Mu nodded and said: "It makes sense, it is indeed possible."

Then Rong Mu took out several important documents in succession, and Luo Ming basically didn't express any opinions later. Lin Shuwen was the one discussing with Rong Mu.

Before I knew it, it was already 8pm.

Rong Mu looked at the time and said, "Let's stop talking about Erming's work here! We'll talk about it tomorrow morning. Let's go have dinner first. I have something private to ask of you."

"Private matter? What private matter?" "Eat first. Eaters are short-tongued. If you eat mine, you can't refuse."

Then Rong Mu drove the three of them to a hot pot restaurant.

After sitting down in the box, Rong Mu did not talk about his personal matters immediately, but talked about several Chinese-style maps of "Plants vs. Zombies Mobile Game".

There are three large maps in the "Plants vs. Zombies Mobile Game" with a Chinese style, one with the Great Wall as the background, one with the Forbidden City as the background, and one with Suzhou Gardens as the background.

"Er Ming, are you doing these three maps for cultural export?" Rong Mu asked.

Lin Shuwen also asked Luo Ming this question. Lin Shuwen cleared her throat and told Rong Mu his answer: "I do it for cultural export. Looking at the whole world, the most successful cultural export is definitely the island country. What Lao America exports is its values, not its own culture. Nanbang is indeed exporting its own culture, but it is difficult to achieve elegance.

Only the cultural output of island countries has been recognized by the whole world, and even has been praised by some groups.

When talking about the cultural export of island countries, it is inevitable to mention one person and one thing. "

"Who and what?" Rong Mu asked curiously.

"In 1996, Huntington, a professor of international relations at Harvard University in the United States, published his book - "The Clash of Civilizations and the Reconstruction of World Order."

The division of civilizations in this book makes me feel very outrageous. In the book, he divides Europe and America into one civilization system, but instead separates the island countries that belong to the Chinese cultural circle from China and divides them into two civilizations.

His theory is that the island country was indeed influenced by the main civilization in the region, that is, the Chinese civilization, but it was not assimilated by the Chinese civilization. Instead, it retained a certain degree of uniqueness. "

"Well, it's really outrageous. What does his book say about the uniqueness of the island country?" Rong Mu asked.

"This is what Huntington expresses in his book. In his view, the United States was the leader in cultural export.

Cultural exports such as animation, music, and movies are dominated by the United States.

The island country came from behind and found a new way to beat the United States in the game.

In 1974, the island nation developed the world's first truly hit game, Space Invider, which was called Bee Hunt on Overlord. This game attracted 38 billion yuan in global revenue.

The purchasing power of 1974 billion yuan in 38 is now about 100 billion yuan.

The export of game culture from the island country began at that time.

Pac-Man, Super Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, Final Fantasy.
One popular game after another began to be promoted from the island country to the world, and the culture of the island country was transported to the world through games. "

Hearing this, Rong Mu understood what Luo Ming meant: "So you want to do this too?"

"Yes, to be honest, I didn't want to do this originally, but the word "modern" in modern society is defined by others, and even traditional culture must be expressed in terms of modernization as defined by them.

This is an objective fact. To put it bluntly, whoever is stronger and has the right to speak can define it.

Now we definitely have no way to seize the right to speak, so we can only play by their rules of the game.

When I finalized the game "Plants vs. Zombies Mobile", I decided to rely on this game to do some cultural output. The subsequent "Clash of Clans" and other games will do the same. "

"Okay! I understand what you mean."

"Dong dong~" Rong Mu was mid-sentence when there was a knock on the door, and then the waiter opened the door and came in, bringing the pot bottom and dishes.

"Come on, come on! Let's eat!" Rong Mu greeted.

Lin Shuwen was not polite at all and directly cooked a large plate of mutton.

Luo Ming's mouth watered when he saw it. He had some snacks in the VIP waiting room of the airport at noon, and he was hungry now!
Luo Ming picked up a large piece of mutton with chopsticks and was about to put it into his mouth when Lin Shuwen coughed: "Ahem! Wenwen, don't you want to stay in shape?"

"I didn't even dip it in sesame sauce!" After saying this, Luo Ming stuffed the meat into his mouth.

Wen Wan was a little greedy when she saw this. She needed to stay in shape more than Lin Shuwen. She hadn't touched hot pot for a long time.

"You should be fine if you eat a little today!" Wen Wan muttered in a low voice, and then took a chopstick of mutton.

Wen Wan thought she would eat a little, and then she was full.

She touched her belly and was about to cry. After finishing this meal, she might have to run 20 kilometers to finish it.

Luo Ming also ate a lot. If Lin Shuwen hadn't glared at him fiercely later, he might not have been willing to put down his chopsticks.

Lin Shuwen and Rong Mu enjoyed the meal.

After drinking and eating, Lin Shuwen asked Rong Mu, "Mu Mu, you said you have something private to ask me for? What is it?"

"Er Ming, don't you know how to write songs? Are there any songs that can be sung and danced?"

"Didn't I write a song for Wen Wan?"

“That song wasn’t really suitable for a road show.”

"Road show? What road show?" Lin Shuwen asked, stunned.

"Didn't Wanwan go to record that road variety show? In the last episode, the four of them earned travel expenses by working part-time jobs for others. Those three losers are not as capable as Wanwan alone. Wanwan did almost everything.

In the next issue, I gave Wanwan an idea. Let them hold a road show. They are all trainees. They should be able to sing and dance, which is just the opportunity for Wanwan to show her face. "

"So that's the case, but I think you made a mistake, Mu Mu."

"What's wrong?" Rong Mu asked.

"Being good at singing and dancing is indeed Wen Wan's advantage, but Wen Wan is not well-known. No one knows her during the road show. To be honest, there is no point in singing and dancing. How about a song that highlights Wen Wan's characteristics."
