Chapter 136 Onlookers of Meng Jiji
When he knew that Meng Zhe was the legendary most talented and famous teenager in China, William made a request to Meng Zhe. He begged Meng Zhe to do a public welfare animation to protect the environment of the Great Wall.
"It doesn't have to be too long, it really doesn't have to be too long... Three minutes is enough! I think that with Mistermeng's fame in China, at least when children come to the Great Wall to play, they will not litter and pollute this great miracle, and children can affect their parents... In this way, the Great Wall will be much cleaner!"
Excited William said so. He didn't even consider the question that Meng Zhe would refuse, because in his opinion, Meng Zhe, as the most famous teenager in China, could refuse this kind of thing that is not only good for public welfare but also conducive to personal reputation.
As for the problem of money - William, who has published The Great Wall Travels, based on the royalties he received in Britain and France and the exchange rate of British pounds and RMB, it is natural to think that Meng Zhe, who is said to have published more than a dozen comics with a total sales of more than five million copies, is unlikely to lack such a little money.
After Kong Lan translated William's words to Meng Zhe, Meng Zhe nodded after a moment of silence.
In this situation, Meng Zhe really can't find a reason to refuse by shaking his head... A foreigner can run to remove garbage because he loves the Great Wall. As a Chinese, if he shakes his head to refuse at this time, isn't he not even as good as a foreigner?
Besides, even if this kind of environmental protection short film is really made, it is beneficial and harmless, isn't it?
Referring to what the taxi driver said on the way when he went to Grandma Guan Yuluo's house before, Meng Zhe is really like what William said now, which has a great influence in the hearts of the children.
Moreover, at present, this influence is tilted in the direction of a negative value.
So, if you can have a three-minute public welfare short story, you can exchange negative influence for positive value... Why not?
"Meng Jiji, why don't we go out and help pick up garbage to beautify the Great Wall?" Jiang Xiyao, who originally dragged Meng Zhe to the Great Wall to play, continued in a somewhat embarrassed tone when Meng Zhe turned her head and looked at her, "I just threw garbage on the ground, and now I'm very embarrassed to compare with him... Ah, Sister Lan, this sentence should never be translated to him!"
Looking at his sister-in-law Jiang Xiyao's lovely appearance, Meng Zhe couldn't help smiling, and then he picked up his sleeve without saying anything: "Do it and do it! Just pick it up all the way!"
After learning from Kong Lan's mouth what Jiang Xiyao and Meng Zhe wanted to do, William also smiled when he finally met the comrade. After the translation, Kong Lan also took Jiang Weiyu and Guan Yuluo to participate in the work of picking up garbage.
Soon, this strange combination of cleaning up garbage attracted the attention of other tourists - there is no way not to pay attention to it. A few handsome Chinese men and beautiful women who are well-dressed and belong to the rich class. They are picking up garbage in the Great Wall with famous foreigners!
So other foreign tourists, who were soon curious, stopped the tour and asked William, who belonged to their kind, about the situation.
When he learned about William's own deeds and several Chinese people who picked up garbage with him, the handsome boy was the most famous and perhaps the richest young man in China at present, the foreigners who visited the Great Wall exclaimed.
In this era when the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union has just ended and the Soviet Union has just disintegrated for two years, the red China has ended the 'honeymoon period' caused by the United States because of the common enemy of the Soviet Union. The 'Galaxy incident' that occurred when Meng Zhe was reborn gave the United States a reason to impose economic sanctions on China, and Europe also followed the United States. The arms embargo has been imposed on China behind the buttocks... Yes, these are the major political environments of this era. With the upheavals in Eastern Europe and the collective of the Soviet Union, the red China has become the largest red regime that the United States and Europe needs to kill.
Unfortunately, China has always been very lucky - when the Soviet Union disintegrated, the Gulf War dragged down the United States and NATO. When the United States and NATO repaired Saddam, the Bosnia and Herzegovina War attracted the attention of Europeans again. Fortunately, the Bosnia and Herzegovina War was over... When the United States just wanted to continue to unite with the European Union to deal with China, bin Laden The internationalist spiritualists hijacked the plane and hit the time of 9/11, so the United States flattened Afghanistan and Iraq for the sake of face and the people's oil... Finally, Afghanistan and Iraq ended, and the economic crisis broke out in the United States... Then the U.S. state of the Middle East suddenly had a revolution, and then Libby Ya's Gaddafi fought with the opposition... At this time, in order to save money, the U.S. imperialists, which had not completely got rid of the economic crisis, did not even want the position of the usual coalition boss... China, which has gained valuable recuperation time thanks to a series of international events that have dragged the sight and energy of the United States and Europe, has been installed ten times in a row. After a few years, Sun Tzu has quietly developed into the second largest economic entity in the world, and it is no longer what the United States can move if it wants.
So sometimes, the fate of the country is also influenced by the right time, place and these things. If it hadn't been for these messy things that have delayed the United States, maybe China has now been dismembered like the Soviet Union... As for the common people of our generation, it is likely to live worse than the Iraqis now.
Of course, at the end of 1995 after Meng Zhe's rebirth, although China's economy has developed rapidly along the coast thanks to the reform and opening up, and the sweatshops of export-oriented and processing have gradually formed a scale, but on the whole, it is still a small role in the whole world.
Therefore, at this time, foreigners' impression of China is either the 'small feet' and 'money rattails' that still stay in the 18th century, or the backward appearance of the early days of reform or the earlier era of the Cultural Revolution... Now how Chinese people feel when they see North Korea, that is, what foreigners feel when they look at China in that era.
These foreigners who can come to the Great Wall do not feel the huge difference between the real China and the China in their minds during the journey, but now it is amazing that a few Chinese young people who are more fashionable and fashionable than them do such environmental protection and public welfare things on the Great Wall. Shouldn't Chinese people wear very rustic clothes, eat very poorly, and be diligent like ants. They only care about themselves and their families, but they will never be enthusiastic about public welfare activities?
And more importantly, this young man named Zhe-Meng is actually the most talented young cartoonist in China, a very successful publisher, a famous clothing designer, a famous cartoon director, a famous food brand holder, and a total personal asset of more than 10 million yuan. The local tycoon... surprised the foreigners even more. William said that Meng Zhe had agreed to his request to fund and personally produce a public welfare animated short film to protect the environment of the Great Wall!
Although among the foreigners present, there may be descendants of the Eight-Nation Alliance that invaded China in those years, but they have completed the original accumulation by relying on the burning, killing and looting of their ancestors. Now they have become the citizens of developed industrial countries. Now it is popular to play environmental protection, play tourism, require only four and a half days a week, and take a break every year. The vacation time should be at least a hundred days... Therefore, Meng Zhe's enthusiastic Chinese 'famous teenager' who is enthusiastic about environmental protection has obviously inadvertently had the appetite of these foreigners, and some people have even taken pictures with a camera without saying a word.
In the crowd who took photos, there was even a New York Times reporter who came to China for a vacation and inspected the environment... Therefore, in this era when Chinese people still watch blue-eyed and yellow-haired foreigners from time to time, Meng Zhe was honored to enjoy Li Hongzhang's treatment in the United States - Meng Zhe was surrounded and watched by A large group of deep-nosed foreigners gathered on the Great Wall of China.
Some people tried to ask Meng Zhe a few questions. After getting a relaxed and pleasant answer, other foreigners also asked more questions - some praised Meng Zhe for his sense of social responsibility, some asked Meng Zhe what kind of cartoon he had made, and some even asked Meng Zhe what he planned to make. Environmental public welfare cartoons, and then how to release them.
The most acute problem is the New York Times reporter who is on vacation. His question is whether the comics and TV animations produced by Meng Zhe have been strictly reviewed at the time of release, because according to his understanding, China's publishing system is not free at all.
This question made Meng Zhe couldn't help reading the reporter of the New York Times. After asking the identity of the other party through Kong Lan, Meng Zhe replied, "The so-called freedom is not to do everything you want to do, but to do not do everything you don't want to do, and it's the same is true for drawing comics and making cartoons."
Well, in fact, Meng Zhe has a grudge against some 'prohibited areas', but the problem is that he certainly won't say it at this time. Because Meng Zhe understands that there is no point in complaining verbally, and it is the real ability to come up with a solution.
... In this way, Meng Zhe and Kong Lan picked up the garbage for half a day with William under the crowd of tourists. Originally, Meng Zhe planned to invite William to dinner, but William refused. He said that he still wanted to clean up more places before it was dark... After saying goodbye, he looked at William, who turned around and bent down after two steps and picked up a discarded food bag and stuffed it into his bulging urea pocket. Meng Zhe's heart The head is really emotional.
However, as soon as Meng Zhe turned around with emotion, he saw the thoughtful Guan Yuluo.
"Yiluo, what are you thinking about?"
Meng Zhe, who was a little curious, casually asked such a sentence.
"I'm thinking..." Guan Yuluo looked at Meng Zhe, and then continued to say, "I'm thinking that since the era of great navigation, these guys who have opened our country with strong ships and cannons have been able to do this in the short decades after World War II to protect the environment. To the extent... Why on earth is this?
"It's very simple!" Meng Zhe smiled and said, "There is a saying in the article "Gong Zi - Herdsmen" - if you are in a hurry, you will know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace."
If you can't even eat, the ghost will care about environmental protection... China's development is actually the same. In the early stage of the reform and opening up, everyone rushed to get rich, regardless of whether the wealth is unrighteous wealth or righteous talent, as for the traditional culture, almost no one remembers it.
However, around 2010, with the significant improvement of people's living standards, there have been more and more calls from the people to restore traditional culture - because culture is the cornerstone of a nation's existence.
Of course, these developed countries have now turned naked murder and money into secret economic plunder, so they naturally have to dress up as polite and modest gentlemen.
"If you are honest, you will know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace? Um... It's possible, but if only I could go abroad to see it in the future! These tourists can only represent some of them. Only when they come into contact with more ordinary foreigners can they understand what they think and do!"
Guan Yuluo nodded, but then he looked up and looked into the distance. For the first time, she had the idea of going to other countries to have a look. The first country she wanted to go to was the once unfallen empire, and now there is only Britain.
Although last year, Guan Yuluo and Meng Zhe also traveled to Japan for a few days. He also went to the autumn leaf field mentioned by Meng Zhe and saw "Go Boy" in the bookstore... Of course, when he saw the H fan book "Go Youth", Guan Yuluo has not said anything to Meng Zhe so far.
Why?
It's very simple. Meng Zhe of "Go Boy" personally told Guan Yuluo that the prototype of the heroine is Guan Yuluo, and the H fan book describes the story of the hero and heroine OOXX of "Go Boy"... Before that, Meng Zhe pulled Guan Yuluo together to COS the hero and heroine of "Go Boy". Jiao also took a lot of photos.
The soul is faint! Pervert!
This perverted country will not die again in the future!
Meng Zhe, who didn't know what Guan Yuluo was thinking. After listening to what Guan Yuluo said, Meng Zhe subconsciously turned his head and looked at Kong Lan, who had studied in the UK for several years.
But Kong Lan said with a smile, "It's good to go out and have a look. The difference between civilization and culture will make people think a lot. The ancients also said that reading is a complete journey, so I quite support your idea."
In this case, Meng Zhe won't say much, because he wants to be Guan Yuluo's freedom in the future. He is just worried about whether something will happen abroad. After all, the moon in foreign countries is not rounder than China.
"Sister Yingluo - I'm going too! I'm going too! I want to go with you, too!"
It's just that Jiang Xiyao jumped out at this time and excitedly raised two dirty little hands to pick up garbage and said.
"Stupid Meier, don't make trouble."
Meng Zhe twisted his body, and then rudely patted a guy on his sister-in-law's forehead with the back of his right hand, and decisively suppressed it - just kidding, if Jiang Xiyao really followed Guan Yuluo, Jiang Yuyu, who had always taken care of her, would never be relieved, and she would definitely follow her. Get up.
And if Jiang Weiyu goes abroad, will Meng Zhe be relieved?
Don't worry, it's strange... How many people who love each other to death in China, men and women who don't marry Feiqing don't marry, and one of them have separated from each other after one of them went abroad?
Meng Zhe won't let this kind of thing happen.
"Damn it! Meng Jiji, you are a bad guy! I'm not messing around. I really want to go abroad to have a look!"
Jiang Xiyao, who was knocked on the forehead, learned from Meng Zhe to rub his forehead with the back of his hand, just like a Persian cat bullied by his master... The little girl stared at Meng Zhe angrily, and the idea of killing Meng Zhe with great eyes.
"If you really want to go abroad, it's a big deal... When I'm free, I'll take you out to play. You can go to any country you want." In order to prevent his sister-in-law from getting angry, Meng Zhe quickly comforted him, but after thinking about it, he quickly added, "Of course, let's go together."
"Is it the same as the last time I went to Japan to play?"
Jiang Xiyao blinked her big eyes, and her anger obviously subsided a lot.
"Hmm."
Meng Zhe replied.
"Um..." Jiang Xiyao also hummed. After thinking about it, she continued to say, "Nah-Meng Jiji, isn't it the same as last time? Next time you go to play, why don't you take your parents with you?
"Huh? Why?
Meng Zhe was a little curious about Jiang Xiyao's request. He couldn't figure out why Jiang Xiyao made such a request.
"Because my parents went to Hainan to play, but they didn't take me and my sister with me... So, when we go to other countries next time, we won't take them with us! At that time, parents will definitely ask for help, and then they will reluctantly promise them..."
Jiang Xiyao pouted slightly. Obviously, she was very resentful of Jiang Bai and Hu Caiwei this time. This time, she did not accompany her and her sister Jiang Weiyu to see the Spring Festival Gala, but ran to Hainan to play.
And Meng Zhe laughed after listening to Jiang Xiyao's reason.
Then, Jiang Xiyao was ashamed and angry by Meng Zhe's smile. Regardless of the problem of dirty hands, he waved her fist and greeted Meng Zhe. After eating two pink fists, Meng Zhe smiled around the other people and said words to make Jiang Xiyao crazy while dodging... During this period, Meng Zhe also looked for the opportunity to take advantage of his future wife Jiang Weiyu, causing Jiang Wei to scream and then joined the ranks of chasing Meng Jiji.
This kind of graceful teenager was 'chased' by two almost identical beautiful girls, and two fashionable girls were smiling and cheering aside, which made all the passing human male creatures bite to crush the envious steel teeth--: "It's humiliating! The world is in the world! Meow, circle a fork... Why is it not me who plays with these girls?!"
