Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 19th. On March 18th, Xinhua Daily Telegraph published a report entitled "Online dramas and online games are becoming the" new three kinds "of culture going out to sea.
    With technological innovation, carrier renewal and topic innovation, a variety of new carriers have emerged in the sea of culture. Net text is popular overseas-Reading Group went abroad and held a global Chinese IP Festival in "Lion City" Singapore; Online games are popular-Genshin Impact, a popular game of Miha Tour, makes fans all over the world fall in love with the Year of China; Online dramas are fascinating-bilibili pushes "Guo Chuang" to the sea and joins hands with overseas institutions to set off a craze …
    In recent years, new carriers, such as online texts, online dramas and online games, have carried the charm of the East, which has blown up the "Chinese style" around the world and become the "new three kinds" of culture going out to sea. They integrate and innovate the cultural expression mode, and show the gorgeous and three-dimensional rich image of China to the global youth groups by actively spreading and integrating the overseas output of narrative.
   "Flocking dragons out to sea" and "Chinese aesthetics" are popular all over the world.
    Not long ago, the "Reading Global Chinese IP Festival" was hard to get a ticket when it was recorded in Singapore, and it became a "cultural event" that attracted much attention in the local area.
    At present, the net text going out to sea is realizing the transformation from large-scale growth to "quality and quantity two-wheel drive" According to the 2023 China Online Literature Going to Sea Trend Report, in 2022, the overseas revenue of China online literature industry reached 4.063 billion yuan, up 39.87% year-on-year. The overseas portal "Qidian International" of Yuewen has launched about 3,800 translated works of China’s online texts, trained about 410,000 overseas original writers, and launched about 620,000 overseas original works, with a cumulative visit of about 230 million users.
    Online dramas are also popular overseas. Some viewers said on overseas social platforms: "I’m fascinated by a short play recently. Although each episode is only one minute, I can’t stop watching it. Who will take my mobile phone …" The producer of this short play, which made her "unable to stop", came from China.
    According to the data of Sensor Tower in the United States, in 2023, an application software named ReelShort was downloaded over 10 million times in the United States, and it became one of the most popular applications on the list of application software entertainment. This "little-known" software was actually created by China Company, specifically targeting the overseas miniseries market.
    The overseas performance of online games is equally outstanding. On the occasion of the Lunar New Year in loong, Genshin Impact, an open-world adventure game, which is popular all over the world, is "on the new" synchronously. In the Genshin Impact world, the "Sea Lantern Festival" is synchronized with the Spring Festival in China, and players all over the world can experience the strong China style of "colorful kite spring breeze" in the game world.
    In the game, the traditional lion dance elements of China are also incorporated: jumping, squatting, rolling, lunging and buckling … Under the background of neon-lit games in international metropolises, China lion dance makes global players fully feel the Chinese aesthetics of "national tide and national wind".
    Genshin Impact’s creative team introduced that in addition to the traditional lion dance, the game also uses some intangible skills to promote the plot and render the atmosphere, "hoping to close the distance between global users and China culture".
    In the eyes of many people in the industry, new forms such as online texts, online dramas and online games are more in line with the perspective of youth culture and have strong vitality.
   "Cultural people", the science and technology side continues to exert its strength
    In order to let users around the world experience China culture more, and make Internet cultural products that love "China innovation" more correct in content, we will continue to make efforts with the help of culture and technology.
    In the updated version of Genshin Impact, players from all over the world can pick "Sonny Sprouts" in the smoky tea fields in the virtual world. This scene adopts the technology of "global height map volume fog", and "fog" can change the shade and direction with the change of location.
    Recently, the artificial intelligence model has been used in reading, which not only provides inspiration and material for online writers, but also greatly improves the translation speed and efficiency of Chinese works. In 2023, the overseas online platform under Yuewen launched Portuguese, German, French and other categories, which promoted the "China Good Story" to break the language wall and cultural wall.
    "As a high-tech enterprise based on technology, Mihayou focuses on continuous research and development and exploration in cartoon rendering technology, cloud computing technology and artificial intelligence technology." Liu Wei, president of Mihayou, said, "We focus on using digital technology to inherit China culture, and by constantly excavating the historical and cultural connotation of China, we will create national original cultural products."
    "Cross-cultural communication is not linearly’ uniformly accelerated’. Different situations in different countries and regions make different strategies for going to sea, but the excellent traditional Chinese culture is still the’ greatest common denominator’." Sun Jiashan, an associate researcher at the Central College of Culture and Tourism Management, believes that the common feelings and values of human beings are the core and have a "sense of closeness"; The expression of the works contains the poetic style and flying imagination of Chinese culture, and has a unique "aesthetic thinking".
    A few days ago, Billie Billie reached a cooperation with Fuji TV in Japan, and set up bilibili Guochuang’s exclusive channel "B8station" to broadcast animation works from China. Later, it will also cooperate with the Japanese drama adaptation of the domestic game "Time Agent". This is the first time that the domestic video platform has reached a channel cooperation with mainstream Japanese TV stations, realizing the country’s creation and development.
    "Animation is a work that spans age, skin color and race. In the future, we hope that our original content will be based on the world from the day we start making it." Li Xi, vice chairman and COO of bilibili, said.
   Straighten the sails and continue to ride the wind.
    From the "Internet powerhouse" reading articles and the "game giant" Miha swimming to the "traffic expert" bilibili, the leading enterprises of online new economy have been expanding the global market and becoming the representatives of "going out to sea" competition in domestic segments. Many government departments have also adopted relevant measures to further promote the online new economy industry to become bigger and stronger.
    In order to make the "new three kinds" of culture more stable and far-reaching, we should not only grasp the spiritual core, but also explore more fresh and ingenious boutique content.
    Some micro-short drama creators admit that how to achieve localization according to local conditions is the biggest challenge encountered in the short drama’s going out to sea. "Going out to sea for cultural and entertainment products is not simply copying and pasting domestic products. If you want to make it bigger and deeper, you must undoubtedly have a considerable understanding of the cultural core and audience habits of the local market."
    Moreover, the characteristics of single type and homogeneous content limit the ability of online text and online drama to expand the market to some extent; Although the legendary costume, the "sweet pet" of youth and the fantasy of Xianxia are the most popular overseas, they are easy to form stereotypes.
    "Future creators should not only concentrate on the visual level, but also concentrate on polishing the internal quality of their works, flexibly use the essence of traditional culture, and find a balance between social value and commercial value." Sun Jiashan said.
    "Culture going out to sea is not a single-dimensional spread, nor should it be a temporary heat, but it should really reach people’s hearts around the world and form emotional resonance and cultural identity with users around the world." Hou Xiaonan, CEO of Reading Group, said that he believes that in this field, "Chinese IP with international influence can emerge without waiting for a long time."
