Chapter 268 Simultaneous Interpretation
The microphone on the stage was so loud that it obscured the entire venue, so the voices of the neon people sitting in the first row could not be whispered, and because they were speaking in Japanese, they were not hidden.

But all their words fell into Li Yi's ears without a trace.

"We're here to do promotional activities in Huaxia style, why waste time to come to the school to give a speech? I'm still waiting to go home!" A middle-aged man wearing a hat complained to his companion beside him.

"This school is a top school in China. It is good for our publicity activities and will not delay our schedule. And don't forget, they also gave an invitation fee." Compared with this person's carelessness, the one next to him The person also restrained his voice a little.

"If it weren't for the invitation fee, I wouldn't have come. In fact, I have already said that there is no need for us to come to China to promote it in person. This is a country without animation. Even if our animation level is 100 years old, it is impossible for them to catch up. And the Chinese people's artistic level of comics is very rough, just like the few Chinese people in my studio, they are so stupid, I will find an excuse to fire them when I go back." The man said with a look of resentment, At the same time, the pair of long and narrow eyes on the dark bags under the eyes looked around the venue, with a disgusted expression on his face.

"Shimada-kun, restrain yourself, this is still Huaxia after all." Gui Shu persuaded, he is the nominal team leader of this event.

"What does it have to do with it? Isn't what I said the truth? With all due respect, our trip to China this time was a wrong choice. I really don't know what the president thinks and why he attaches so much importance to the Chinese market. In the animation market of this country, there has not even been an animation movie with more than 20 billion yen. What is the use of such a market?" Neon Ren named Shimada frowned and said with disdain.

The person next to him frowned slightly, not because he thought there was anything wrong with what Shimada said, but because he thought it was a bit of a big deal to say such things in the Chinese place.

"Tanaka, you are too careful. Mr. Shimada is right. China's animation market is deformed and meaningless. This animation movie with the highest box office is even an animation that two or three-year-olds love to watch, and the box office It’s only 19 billion yen, and this kind of market doesn’t make any sense at all.” A person next to Shimada interjected, laughing as he spoke.

"Their total box office of the annual film market last year exceeded 5000 billion yen. This is a very large market. And animation can't even account for 200 billion yen in this market, so China's film market still has to wait. Digging." Guishu paused and said, "Okay, Ran is about to give a speech, so let's not talk about it yet."

"Ran is so pitiful. To give a speech to this group of people who don't understand anime at all is like playing the piano to a cow. I don't know if this group of people can understand Ran's speech." Shimada looked around, with a hang on his face. A contemptuous smile.

They stopped talking, but all the words just now fell into Li Yi's ears.

The original gentle smile on Li Yi's face disappeared, as if the spring day of Hexi had entered the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month. He squinted slightly and looked at the neon anime characters in the front row, with a weird smile on his lips.

Neon's animation industry is much more complete than that of China. This is recognized by the world and recognized by Chinese animation people themselves.

But it is precisely because of backwardness that we have to work hard to catch up, and the well-developed animation industry chain of Neon has become the target of Chinese animators.

Many people also yearn for Neon's complete animation industry, and some Neon's animation people or companies are even worshiped as gods.

Li Yi was once a part of it.

Although it was not until Li Yi stepped into the animation industry that he became a little bit more enlightened. He was less worshipful and more chasing and longing for neon animation, but that admiration still exists.

But the words of the people in the front row completely shattered Li Yi's impression of Neon animation.

You treat others like gods, and others treat you like a leek, a leek that is too laborious to cut.

Li Yi silently put down the speech in his hand, then raised his head to look at the well-known neon anime character named Mori Shenran standing on the stage, watching silently.

Standing on the podium, Mori Shenran glanced around the venue that accommodated thousands of people, and he was not at all excited. He had experienced many such scenes in Neon.Moreover, he had always agreed with Mr. Shimada's opinion, thinking that this trip was completely unnecessary. He thought that even if his animation knowledge was put in front of this group of Chinese people, they would not be able to understand it.

However, in view of the fact that the other party paid a generous invitation fee for his group, his group still came.After all, these invitation fees were shared equally among the members of their team, and he also agreed to accept the invitation from Huaxia School because of the money.

Just as he was preparing to give a speech, he suddenly found a particularly dazzling gaze among the crowd. Following that gaze, Sen Shenran seemed to see a ferocious beast. He opened his eyes, and a cold sweat broke out from behind.

"Annoying Chinese people." Sen Shenran muttered in a low voice, and his disgust towards Huaxia deepened in his heart.

Then Mori Shenran faced many animation students from the Imperial University Academy of Arts, looking at the expectant eyes from the audience, Mori Shenran was quite satisfied, then picked up the microphone, cleared his throat and prepared to start his speech.

"Hi everyone, I am Mori Fukaran from Neon, and I am honored to be invited to visit your school today."

While he was speaking, a female voice sounded from the speaker at the same time.

Because the anime characters from Neon do not speak Chinese, the Academy of Arts hired a Japanese teacher from the School of Foreign Languages ​​to act as a simultaneous interpreter.

Although the audience in the audience felt a little uncomfortable, they didn't feel awkward. After all, Huaxia is not a universal language in the world.

Mori Fukaran was giving a speech on it, but soon the people at the scene noticed something strange, because the Japanese teacher of the foreign language school who was interpreting at the same time could not keep up with Mori Fukaran's progress.

Mori Fukaran used a lot of professional vocabulary in the animation industry in his speech, and his speech was very fast, even the Japanese teacher of the School of Foreign Languages ​​was struggling.

"What should I do?" Several teachers and leaders of the animation department looked at the situation on stage very nervously.

Now it is too late to go to the Foreign Languages ​​Institute to ask for a translator.

"I'll do it." At this moment, a voice came from behind.

"Li Yi?"

Su Ke and the leader of the animation department looked back and were shocked.

"Li Yi, why don't you go back and sit down, what's the trouble?" Su Ke walked up and patted Li Yi's arm, a little anxiously.Simultaneous interpretation is not such an easy job, if it is done well, it is fine, if it is not done well, Li Yike will be ashamed in the eyes of the entire animation department students and the leaders of the Academy of Arts.

"It's okay, Teacher Su, trust me." Li Yi said with a smile.

"Li Yi, are you really good?" Yang Jiangjun, director of the animation department, asked Li Yi seriously.

"Yes." Li Yi smiled and nodded.

"Okay, then you go up." Yang Jiangjun nodded solemnly.

Li Yi nodded and walked straight onto the podium.
