Chapter 199 Renowned worldwide, yet uniquely lacking in China!
On Weibo, Xiao Yue's post caused a huge uproar among netizens.
Netizens were all in disbelief.
"My God!"
"More than a hundred languages, that's longer than my lifespan."
"Can someone tell me if this is really true?"
"There are thousands of languages in the world, so having only a hundred or so is nothing, right? There are thousands of languages in the Asian continent alone. As the king of the Asian continent, it's not a big deal for Tianyi to only have a hundred or so languages."
"Is this something to brag about? I feel like over a hundred kinds is far too few."
Netizens offered suggestions one after another. While initially surprised, they gradually came to understand the logic after the expert's explanation, considering Zhou Tianyi's fame and proficiency in over a hundred languages.
However, as more and more foreign IPs appeared in the comments section, the tone gradually shifted in another direction.
"The language of dragons is one of all languages in the world. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. The language of dragons is one of the world's mainstream languages."
"Is the internet in China really that backward? Dragon is a world-renowned celebrity, that's beyond question, I thought you all knew that."
“You don’t have a concept of just the languages. In other words, these languages cover about 90% of the inhabited areas of Earth.”
If it weren't for the fact that these IPs came from all over the world, Chinese netizens would have thought that Zhou Tianyi had hired someone to create hype.
Even so, countless netizens still found it hard to believe after watching. It wasn't that they didn't want Zhou Tianyi to be world-renowned, but in their minds, Zhou Tianyi was clearly a singer, and then you suddenly told them that he was also an actor.
Moreover, they had never heard of this before, so how could they possibly accept it all at once?
Even some loyal fans of Tianyi have raised questions: "Since Tianyi is so famous abroad, why have we never heard of him in China?"
Faced with this question, Chinese netizens were speechless.
Yes, how could they not have thought of this question? Since Zhou Tianyi is a world superstar with introductions in more than a hundred languages, why is he rarely heard of in China?
This issue directly involves the fan club, which, as Zhou Tianyi's only official agent account, has been bombarded by netizens.
Even the Four Heavenly Kings were implicated, but none of them knew about it. Jue Lun, the youngest of the four, didn't even go to the internet, let alone the other three.
After learning about this, Jue Lun turned to ask his girlfriend, Xia Youyou, but while she knew a lot about the music industry, she didn't know much about movie audiences.
Fortunately, amid the anticipation of many netizens, someone finally stepped forward to explain the reason. A netizen named "Descendant of the Dragon" posted a lengthy explanation on Zhihu, detailing the reasons.
"We don't need to lift a finger; someone has already explained things to us," Jue Lun said to the three men within the Four Heavenly Kings group.
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately clicked on the link to read it.
The article was long, but the four of them read it quite quickly.
"The dragon is renowned throughout the world, but China is the only one missing."
"The reasons for this are nothing more than the following."
"First, Lung rarely mentions his identity in China, and he has always used the stage name Lung abroad."
"Secondly, the firewall system, which is unique to China, still imposes many restrictions even now."
"Third, Lung rose to fame seven years ago, but only remained active in the world film industry for three years before retiring from acting."
"Fourth, the protection of global copyrights, and previously, foreign films were not allowed to be imported into China until a year ago when the restrictions were gradually lifted."
Fifth, the old prejudice: no one would believe that the dragon came from the Celestial Empire, not even the people of the Celestial Empire themselves.
"Sixth, I originally wanted to talk about the generational changes in the entertainment industry, but that doesn't apply to Long, whose influence is unparalleled."
The six subheadings explained the concepts, and after reading them, netizens were able to understand them.
"For some reason, domestic internet users cannot access foreign websites, which is probably the main reason why the dragon is unknown to the public."
"On the contrary, I think copyright is the most important factor. Unlike music copyright, film copyright does not allow for film editing and narration."
"Then why do so many people in China still use music when recording videos? Won't they be sued?"
"This is because the platform pays for part of the copyright on their behalf. To put it simply, for those with copyright, the platform and the blogger basically pay for it together. For those without copyright, you should thank the singers who like to share, because it is through their sharing that you can use their songs freely."
"Human prejudice is like a mountain, which explains why the dragon is a Chinese, but is considered a Japanese. Even the Japanese themselves think so, which is truly ridiculous."
"It is precisely because of this, and the combination of various reasons, that we are only now hearing about dragons and realizing that dragons are actually from the Celestial Empire."
"People abroad have probably heard about this a long time ago. We have different access to information, so this is common knowledge to them, but we are only just finding out."
But while they understand, few actually believe it.
"Having said so much, putting aside the world, doesn't our neighbor Japan have many people from the Celestial Empire? Why don't even they know about dragons?"
Some have questioned why, despite a significant number of Chinese residing in Japan, they rarely mention dragons.
Dragon Descendant naturally saw this message, and she replied with a sneer:
"Because even they believe that the dragon is Japanese!"
One sentence, yet the most perfect explanation.
The one who countered was the Nightingale. Upon seeing the Dragon Descendant's reply, she immediately retorted, "What a joke! Japanese people can speak Chinese?"
This reply was posted not long ago, and before Long Chuanren could respond, it was criticized by a group of netizens.
"Are you stupid? You didn't know there was voice acting, did you?"
At this moment, the lark sings. Both movies and TV series have voice actors, one of whose functions is to translate movies into other languages.
"But what does that prove? Even if the movie is shown in Japanese, does that explain why so many people mistake the dragon for a Japanese person?"
Faced with comments from netizens, the nightingale was not discouraged, but instead said...
This time, the one who replied to the lark was not a descendant of the dragon, but Xiao Yue: "Strictly speaking, this is a wonderful misunderstanding, a misunderstanding of the dragon by the Japanese."
"Misunderstanding? Even the biggest misunderstanding couldn't have this effect!" The lark thought it was nonsense.
Just then, the Dragon Descendant, who hadn't replied to the Lark yet, responded:
"That's because you don't understand the influence of dragons in Japan. If you understood the influence of dragons in Japan, you probably wouldn't say that."
This news caused a huge stir, with hundreds of netizens who had been following the developments of both sides posting comments.
Without exception, the screen was filled with question marks!
