China is a country with a 5,000-year history of civilization, so it is also one of the four ancient countries in the world. This means that the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture is far from being comparable to Western culture. And with the continuous improvement of China's strength, after the rise in the status of the international community, the status of Chinese culture has also been continuously improved.
And with the development of Chinese science and technology, Chinese domestic games can often see a lot of Chinese cultural elements, such as very national style music, character costume design, but also by foreigners recognized. Take China's domestic game Yuanshen, according to the statistics that were once counted in 2021, this game made 406 million US dollars in the United States, equivalent to about 2.6 billion yuan. At that time, it was about 3.7 times the second total revenue. This means that the game of the original god is deeply loved by foreigners, and it can even be said that foreigners have begun to accept Chinese culture, and even been included in the "National Cultural Export Key List". Of course, this is not the first time that Chinese culture has been exported to the outside world, and in 2016, Jackie Chan won the 89th Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement. This is not only Hollywood's recognition of Chinese culture, but also an important symbol of Chinese culture's export to the outside world. Because Jackie Chan made Chinese movies and Chinese kung fu go overseas, and was deeply loved by foreigners.
After the original god went abroad, when foreigners played this mobile game, they could not only hear Chinese style music, but also see Chinese scenery, and they were imperceptibly influenced and influenced by Chinese culture. Even many players will have open discussions, which means that through the game of the original god, it has also indirectly formed the game circle of Chinese culture, which can be said to be the template for the export of Chinese culture to the outside world. Of course, the reason why the game of the original god can be deeply loved, in addition to the chinese culture, but also has a certain relationship with the technical proficiency, such as having a good story structure, character portrayal, artistic color, animation performance, playability and so on. And even the original god's server has been specially polished.
In addition to having technology, there is also the blessing of Chinese culture, it can be said that the game of the original god is completely the perfect combination of Chinese culture and technology. If there are only cool pictures, the real technology is not passed, even if there is Chinese culture, it will not let the original god become a 400 million US dollars in the United States. Therefore, domestic games can suck up about 2.5 billion yuan in the United States, in addition to better design, cultural output is also the key, it can be said that the two complement each other.
More importantly, in the face of the continuous depreciation and smear of Chinese culture in the West, we have promoted games to let foreigners really see Chinese culture. Only in this way can we avoid the continuous decline of China's cultural status due to the deliberate smear of the West. At the same time, it also shows that Chinese culture has gradually pushed open the door of cultural export, and presumably Chinese culture can continue to appear in the eyes of foreigners in other ways after that. At that time, even though the West wanted to blockade Chinese culture, it found itself powerless.
