My Animation Era

Jiang Chuan.

International Exhibition Center.

It coincides with the 7th Huaguo Animation and Game Exhibition being held here, and animation practitioners from various countries and regions gather together.

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

Almost missed it.

When Director Wang reminded him, there was only one day left before the deadline for registration and participation.

What is this enough 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 all these preliminary preparations and was about to exhibit to the public and media, she suddenly remembered one thing.

There should be foreigners visiting, right?

If you don't hire a translator, prepare an English version of the brochure, can those foreigners understand it?

But here comes the problem!

He is going to participate in the exhibition tomorrow, where can he find a high-quality translator? I can only temporarily ask students for help from the foreign language departments of several universities near Jiangchuan.

Translation quality...

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

Cool sheep, big wolf?

Say yes to Xindaya!

Gu Miao, who barely said 'RNM refund', rubbed the center of her brows and said, "Although I'm not well-educated, I also know that goat means goat."

Pleasant goat is not a goat!

No matter how you look at it, this is a translation error. It should be more appropriate to use sheep here.

Confusing goats with sheep is only a small problem. Gu Miao's dissatisfaction is mainly due to the fact that Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf seem too casual compared to the translations of other character names.

The red wolf is called Wolnie!

The beautiful sheep is called Tibbie, which is a nickname for the Christian name Isabella, and Isabella comes from Spanish and Hebrew, meaning "God's oath", pronounced Isabella.

Lazy sheep is called Paddi, pronounced as Padi, a pure new word.

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

After reading these names, look at the translations of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, that is, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, and the gap will appear instantly.

"Make do with it!"

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

"No, this can't be sloppy."

Gu Miao shook her head to express her refusal.

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 well-sounding.

If the translation is not good, then he will do it himself!

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

Not that Wesley...

To be precise, this should be a variant of Wesley with the suffix ie, which can be understood as Little Wesley.

The more popular translation of Big Big Wolf is Wolffy, which adds the fy suffix after the English word "wolf", which is a bit like Luffy.

Weslie and Wolffy!

Isn't this much more concise?

"What kind of nonsense translation, let him go out quickly, and next time there is such a thing about naming, just call me."

Gu Miao patted Ma Kui's shoulder, and said earnestly, "The water here is too deep, you can't handle it, so let me come!"

Ma Kui: "..."

Is this really Mr. Gu's name?

He still has this ability? Ma Kui didn't believe it.

It must have been translated by someone in advance, and I took this opportunity to show it off.

Do you want to expose him?

...

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

Pile up the surrounding derivative products, put up a big "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" poster, connect it to the monitor provided by the organizer, and everything is ready.

Just waiting for 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, the animation that Gu Miao played in the exhibition area this time included a promotional video in addition to some episodes that have already been broadcast on the TV station.

"Battle in the Weird World"!

Yes, in order to attract attention, Gu Miao did not hesitate to show a special chapter on the battle in the weird world that is still in the "preparation and production" stage.

Although this is just a trailer, the quality of the painting has been significantly improved several levels, coupled with the "Fantasy Underground World Adventure" gimmick, it is easy to attract passers-by.

as expected.

With the opening of the exhibition, a large number of tourists flocked in. Outside the exhibition area where Wolf Castle Animation belonged, a group of big friends and children soon gathered around.

"Is this the next work?"

"The production level has improved by leaps and bounds! I can't believe it. This is an animation of Pleasant Goat."

"The underground world is interesting."

"Mr. Gu, when will we be able to see this special episode?"

"Come on! Come on!"

Gu Miao explained with a smile while breaking free from the shackles of the brats: "It is estimated that by the end of this year or early next year, you will be able to see the big battle in the weird world."

That's pretty fast.

Everyone thought about it, it's already September, and there are only a few months before the end of the year, so it's really fast.

"Not only that!"

"We have also prepared a special sequel project for the upcoming 2012 London Olympics. The lambs will put aside their conflicts with Big Big Wolf and hold a grand sheep games..."

ah? !

At the entrance of the exhibition area, the two employees who were distributing brochures looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

Is there such a thing?

As a member of the Pleasant Goat animation production team, why didn't they know about this project? Besides, it's only 2010, so it's still early before the London Olympics, right?

Just when they were looking for an opportunity to ask Mr. Gu what was going on with this "Special Olympics Project", a special visitor came to the exhibition area.

Mr. Ikeda!

As an expatriate representative of Neon TBS TV Station, 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 have learned that Pleasant Goat is very popular recently, and the rate of corpse collection has broken the record..."

"Ahem, it's the ratings!"

After correcting the pronunciation problem of this neon friend, Gu Miao immediately asked: "So, you represent TBS TV station, do you want to introduce "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"?"

"Introduction?"

Ikeda said with a confused face: "I didn't say I want to introduce it? I just want to ask you how to sell the plush dolls in the exhibition area. I want to buy one for my son."

Damn... I just want to buy a doll!

no!

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

How much does it cost to sell a doll?

If you can pry open the door of TBS TV station through Mr. Ikeda, so that Pleasant Goat can introduce neon, it will be called making money.
