I have a map editor

Liu Yifei originally only attended some offline promotional activities. After the movie quickly became popular, she took advantage of this opportunity and began to frequently appear in many well-known domestic interviews and variety shows.

Whenever the host mentioned her personal thoughts and feelings, she would always spare no effort to publicize and express her gratitude for the support and cultivation of her boss, which made the outside world full of curiosity and doubts about Yang Sheng, the technology tycoon, that "he is also a kung fu master."

"Traveler Entertainment" was naturally happy to cooperate with the publicity. Except for the information about Yang Sheng and his family that still could not be announced to the public, many other things appeared in programs on different TV stations, such as shooting footage that was edited out and did not include the entire film.

In fact, there are many shots and images that are very impactful but did not appear in the main film. The TV station edited these materials and produced them into very eye-catching entertainment materials.

0086

On this day, Yang Sheng was away from home for several days because he had to attend an unavoidable meeting.

It was Xiaoling, Lily and Angelina's turn to be on duty in the kitchen preparing meals for the whole family.

The three of them were chatting and laughing as they prepared dishes such as pork head and cucumber, grilled oysters with garlic, and steamed abalone. Suddenly, they heard cheerful children's laughter accompanied by a faint creaking sound coming from outside, and they all turned to look.

Shirley came back barefoot from somewhere, holding a goose by the neck and dragging it into the house. When she saw the three stepmothers, she immediately spoke the strongest words in her softest voice:

"Mom, mom, please light a fire and boil some water. I caught it. We are going to have a goose stewed in an iron pot for lunch."

The three adults didn't know what expression to make, but Maomao looked like a good kid, running in with his sister's shoes in his hand. When he saw them here, he greeted them very politely: "Hello, Xiaoling's mom, Lily's mom, and Anji's mom."

Following behind were the two brothers Wen and Wu, who sounded like they were crying.

"Sister, why are you catching it? Let it go."

"Little mom, little mom, please ask my sister to release the goose."

The kitchen was bustling for a while. Shirley was very smart. She pinched the goose's neck and kept circling around to prevent it from flapping its wings. When the two brothers Wen and Wu saw the three young mothers, they hurried up to them and hugged the three adults' thighs and cried as if they had seen their saviors.

"No," the little girl raised her eyebrows and pinched the goose's neck with one hand, showing the other arm to the adults, "It's because it always bites people."

There were indeed faint traces of blood on the little arm.

"It's just a goose, not a human, why are you trying to be like it?"

"That's right, how about I give you my Optimus Prime and you just let it go?"

"Who wants your Optimus Prime? I want to eat goose stewed in an iron pot today."

Before the three adults could interrupt, the three little ones started quarreling again.

Maomao stood aside smiling and saying nothing, but judging from her position, she was on her sister's side.

It is summer vacation now. After finishing their homework, the four little guys play and run around in the back hills like herding sheep. Maybe influenced by Yang Sheng, they like small animals. However, Wen and Wu are kind-hearted. They have been tested by the "True Fragrance Law" many times and still do not change their original intentions. They are not angry when small animals fight back, scratch, peck or bite. They have learned that if they complain to adults, their father will usually laugh it off. It's nothing. But their mothers are the ones who protect their children. The small animals will definitely suffer. And their mothers are very active.

They are very tall and have incredible abilities. They can always catch the small animals that hurt them, and then there is the "Law of True Fragrance"... So now they can be naughty outside, but they never complain.

Their sister is not like that. It’s fine if the little animals let her play with and caress them obediently, but if they fight back and peck at them like the big goose does, all her love will be gone, and they will be strangled by the neck and dragged to the kitchen like now... Her fighting ability was not enough to defeat the big goose before, but during this holiday, she competed with the big goose for more than ten days and finally found a way to defeat it, so it became like this.

As for Maomao, although she also likes small animals, she keeps her father's words in mind. Apart from the members of the cat and dog team, she does not get too close to the poultry and small animals raised in the back mountain. She will not rashly touch other small animals, and she is very alert. She will run away early if she feels any danger. In addition, she can run fast due to regular exercise, so she has never been hurt by small animals.

In short, she is a little smart girl, and is the same type as her sister and Wenwu brothers.

Look, while Shirley and the Wenwu brothers were quarreling, she was watching happily from the side. It didn't matter whether the goose was let go or stewed in an iron pot.

Probably more inclined to the latter, since she is a little foodie.

Because killing and plucking the goose is quite troublesome, and lunch was almost ready, the big goose finally escaped death and fled back to the back mountain, flapping its wings cackle.

The entire mid-mountain villa area is still under the "control" of the cat and dog brigade. When the big goose was released from the kitchen, it was driven all the way back to the back mountain by the two dogs. It did not have the opportunity to wander around the villa area.

During the meal, Xiaoling and the other two told the incident to their family as a joke and even captured the video footage from the home surveillance system. Everyone watching laughed and the atmosphere was filled with joy.

……

Next year is 2008, and the most important event for the mysterious country in 08 is the Olympic Games. No matter in which parallel time and space, this should be a glorious event unique to the local mysterious country.

As a self-proclaimed person from a "mysterious country", Yang Sheng has actually been paying attention to this matter. However, due to his status as an outsider, and the fact that people there managed to do a good job even without him, it was even compared with several Olympic Games after 0202, and was recognized by many people as "the best and most successful" Olympic Games.

So, he just kept paying attention and didn't get involved.

I just didn’t expect that the meeting I attended this time was related to the Olympics.

Similar to the parallel universe, the director team of the Olympic Games opening ceremony here, after thinking of countless plans, planned to use large LCD screens as stage settings in many links in order to achieve the expected performance effect.

In a time and space without "time-travel technology", LCD screen technology was in its infancy and many aspects were immature. Not to mention being able to withstand the pressure of dozens or hundreds of people stepping on it, just being able to work for a long time and play specific pictures according to performance requirements involved power distribution and control procedures, which domestic manufacturers could not handle. All LCD screens and related projects were done by contractors from District 11 or some other country, regardless of cost.

And in this time and space, "Crossover Technology" is the real uncrowned king of LCD screens and related engineering projects, but... the rise of "Crossover Technology" is too short, and in the minds of literary and art workers, "foreign things = high-tech" still dominates. The same is true for the Olympic directors. After all, they have national-level resource support, including information and intelligence. But they still went around in circles before finally finding "Crossover Technology".

Not to mention that this is a mission from Zheng Zhi, and it is the "Olympic Games", just based on these three words, Yang Sheng decided to do it for free and with all his strength. Even if it was an ordinary business, even based on the most basic spirit of business contract, he would complete it without compromise.

So there was nothing to say. During the meeting, he arranged a team of engineers, who were selected from the technology team of the head office. He also set aside a special production line to produce LCD screens for the Olympic director team and the on-site venue requirements.

Moreover, when they learned that the service target was the Olympic Games, this team of engineers and employees on the production line shouted with excitement. Their morale increased by +100 without any mobilization. If it were foreigners or even outsourced employees in the group company, it would be difficult to understand such behavior.

After Yang Sheng found out, he just smiled. Although he had the appearance of a "foreigner", his core was a member of the mysterious country. Naturally, he knew this kind of feeling very well.

……

When I got home from the meeting, it was already mid-August.

Liu Yifei is still active in major cities in China with her young assistant. With the hit of "The Accidental Female Assistant", her popularity and commercial value have risen again. She continues to receive interviews from TV stations and invitations to variety shows, as well as a lot of commercial endorsements.

There may be a few months in the future to keep her busy.

Shirley is seven years old this year, and Yang Sheng plans to let her enter the first grade of primary school.

According to the customs in the northern region, children are generally seven or eight years old when they start primary school, with the oldest birthday being seven and the youngest being eight. In the south, it may be one or two years earlier.

As for schools, although there are so-called "aristocratic schools" in the local area, and Hong Kong City has long had private schools from elementary school to high school, Yang Sheng has always been indifferent to such schools.

attitude.

Several northern provinces industrialized earlier, and their educational resources may not be top-notch, but they are distributed more evenly. As long as there are regular public schools in each place, they are actually not bad.

If we really want to pursue differentiated education, can a truly "foreign" school be as effective as one in the mysterious country, no matter how aristocratic or elite the school is?

Moreover, the main reason why Yang Sheng settled in this world is to let his children grow up in an overall healthy and positive environment. To be honest, neither aristocratic schools nor elite schools can meet this requirement. In terms of atmosphere, Yang Sheng believes that both are somewhat "morbid."

So, just go to an ordinary public school.

Under the premise that there is no new mysterious country in the world, it is good to cultivate the next generation with the temperament of classical aristocratic families or British and European aristocrats to become the so-called elites. However, when there is a new mysterious country in the world and it is destined to return to the top of the world in a brand new form, it is better to be more down-to-earth.

Those guys who always promote in real life or on the Internet that wearing exquisite sailor suits or small dress school uniforms can cultivate children's self-confidence, in the final analysis, are either promoting consumerism under the guise of children and education, or are just the leeks of consumerism themselves.

……

After the summer vacation, a few days before the traditional school opening day, Yang Sheng drove his minivan, took Emily and her daughter and brought Shirley's admission documents to the town primary school in Yujia Town to enroll his daughter.

Although Yang Sheng is handsome, his clothes and car are very ordinary. In addition, in recent years, the number of foreign workers in Yujia Town has increased sharply, and most of them have settled down there. Some children were born locally, while others migrated from their original place of residence. From kindergarten to high school, it is very common to see mixed-race Chinese and foreign children or pure foreign children. The younger the age, the higher the proportion.

Yang Sheng's family of three is not particularly eye-catching except for their outstanding looks.

Shirley is an outgoing and lively person. After completing the admission procedures, she didn't need any coaxing. After saying goodbye to Yang Sheng and Amy, she happily integrated into the new group without anyone having to worry about her at all.

Amy was also carefree in this regard. Perhaps influenced by the local environment and atmosphere, she did not feel any reluctance after parting with her daughter. Instead, she urged Yang Sheng to drive home quickly.

"Huh? Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Do you have something to do in the morning?"

"I've made an appointment with Lily to play a game. I'm on the same team with Xiaoling this time. Without Dasha to hold us back, we're going to beat the shit out of them!"

Yang Sheng: “…”

This once again shows the advantage of having a large number of people. These young mothers actually have free time to play basketball. If they were ordinary young parents, they would not have too much leisure time unless they hired more than one nanny and had a baby who required a lot of energy to take care of.

……

Shirley, who became a primary school monk, took advantage of her status as a freshman and the sportswear and school uniforms she was given to bully her younger siblings for a while. It wasn't the kind of bullying, but just showing off and showing off.

This caused the other three little ones to start acting coquettishly and rolling around with Yang Sheng and their mother, wanting to go to elementary school early.

Yang Sheng had a headache, but Emily was very good at dealing with these little brats. She would punish them by making them change diapers and feed their younger siblings, and they would behave themselves. Naughty kids really need to be treated well.

Time passed in this kind of plain happiness full of harmony and noise. In the blink of an eye, a few months passed, and after New Year's Day, it was the Lunar New Year.

On the eve of the Chinese New Year, the fairy sister Liu Yifei, who had been wandering outside for more than half a year, returned to Yang Sheng's home.

The happiest ones are of course the four little ones. After all, the king of children is back, and these little kids have one more person to play with happily.

Yang Sheng was a little puzzled as to why she came back to her home. It was not strange for her to come back, after all, "Traveler Entertainment" was now the parent company she signed with. But it was a little strange for her to come back to her home, as her residence in Hong Kong City had made a lot of money at the box office last year and she had received many commercial endorsements, so she changed her apartment to a villa with a sea view.

But when she thought about it carefully, her home was not only closed and quiet, but also very comfortable. It was indeed a very rare place to live. Besides, she had not completed her personal "training" course and needed to continue to receive Emily's guidance.

Apart from anything else, she made hundreds of millions for "Traveler Entertainment" last year, so it's not excessive for her to live in her own home for a while.

As the Spring Festival is approaching, Yang Sheng's family has entered the puppet costume theme mode again.

After two days of good food and drink and sufficient rest in this environment, Liu Yifei returned to her usual state of last year, that is, the state of a naughty boy. She became lively again. In addition to her regular fitness and exercise every day, she once again took on the main role in playing with the four little kids.

Yang Sheng, together with other women in the family, made relevant festival preparations according to the established family traditions.

In addition, Claire continued to be absent from the local mysterious country Spring Festival this year. Of course, they still kept in touch during normal times, and Yang Sheng also tried to "go on business trips" as much as possible, visiting Emily's brother in the "World of the 1980s"...

Regardless of whether Emily noticed anything or not, Yang Sheng was determined to play dumb to the end.

0087

After two years of running-in and growth, Yang Sheng did not directly assign production tasks to the filming team of "Traveler Entertainment" in 08, but let them set up their own projects and try their own production capabilities from material selection to investment.

Freely choose the script and shooting subject, and estimate a rough

The company will then invest in the filming of the film and even give them certain authority to attract external investment in order to help the two director groups and the entire production department grow better and have greater bargaining chips.

If you make a profit, you will share it in proportion. If you lose money, the company will bear the loss. Then, you can continue to work for the company and hone your skills.

However, in another special effects company, Yang Sheng secretly set up a project called "Kung Fu Fatty", which mainly focused on modeling various characters and scenes to make preliminary preparations for 3D animated films.

When talking about the movie "Kung Fu Fatso", we have to mention a word that is often mentioned in the history and political classes of the mysterious country - "limitations".

People cannot see the dust behind their own necks. They can only understand themselves more objectively and realistically through the perspective of others.

The most direct explanation of this "other's perspective" is "third-party perspective", but it can also be a reference object, or something that can reflect certain characteristics of itself, such as a "mirror".

It is difficult for the artists of the mysterious country itself, or the artists with the cultural thinking of the mysterious country, whether traditional or modern, to break away from their subjective cognition, examine themselves from the "other's perspective", and create artistic works with cultural core such as "Kung Fu Fat Da".

In other words, although all its elements are cultural symbols of the mysterious country, such as Kung Fu, Pang Da, architectural style, animal images, clothing and so on, the cultural core expressed by the entire work is not something from the mysterious country, but it is not a cultural core unique to the United States. To be precise, the core it expresses is love and beauty, things that all human beings possess.

These things have never been exclusive to the United States or developed countries. They are just expressed in a more modern way in the United States, which makes them more easily accepted by everyone while meeting the spiritual needs and aesthetics of all mankind.

The mysterious country and any culture with a history (including Europe) are all constrained by themselves in this regard and it is difficult for them to make breakthroughs. This is why, although the European region has no shortage of capital, it is still beaten by the United States in terms of propaganda.

It has to be said that in terms of cultural propaganda techniques, Hollywood, without its own history and cultural background that draws on the strengths of many others, as well as the support of strong capital, is at the forefront of humanity as a whole.

But one can always learn from others' experience, and the long-standing cultural heritage is not given in vain. In praising human love and beauty and pursuing humanistic progress, the mysterious country had specialized treatises more than two thousand years ago, and with the evolution of successive dynasties, these treatises have been deeply engraved in the bones of the people and culture of the mysterious country.

The traditional culture of the mysterious country has long summarized all human virtues into twelve words: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, loyalty, filial piety, moderation, forgiveness, courage and modesty.

To put it bluntly, when the ancients in the mysterious country were sitting in the school and systematically learning etiquette and virtues, the whole world was in a moral desert. The title of "the country of etiquette" is well-deserved and not just boasted. It was not until modern times that Europe had a work similar to "Theory of Morality", and the Americans were more aggressive in reflecting these beauties in their entertainment works, and it was even later. The thought trend attributed to "white left" by netizens today has only a lifespan of 20 to 30 years, and it is also the product of the competitive propaganda position of the two poles of the world facing the Iron Curtain.

It’s just that the essence of these traditional cultures of the mysterious country and the beauty shared by all mankind are promoted in very outdated ways, and the cultural audiences are aesthetically fatigued, or require a certain level of cultural literacy to be better accepted. As for the ordinary people in the modern world, most of their energy has been exhausted just on daily car loans and mortgages. Except for the wealthy and leisurely classes, it is difficult for them to invest their energy in areas that require time and energy.

This is why real historical stories with flesh and blood, such as "Mother-in-law Tattooing", "Su Wu Shepherding Sheep", "Leaving a Loyal Heart to Shine in History", etc., are defeated by fictional meteoric entertainment culture such as "I can do this all day", "Love you three thousand times", "My mortal body is on par with gods", "Your good neighbor is a failed man", and even some anime fans will shout that it was the 11th District comics like "Dead Fire Sea" that taught them love and courage.

Of course, in the eyes of culturally literate people, the former is naturally the treasure of culture. But as I said before, those who have money, free time and the patience to improve their own cultural literacy are a minority after all. They have not even realized their own material pursuits, so from a broad perspective, there is naturally no question of spiritual pursuits.

Therefore, in their own social practice, the "pacifier" theory of the United States and other developed countries has become a truth tested by practice.

Yang Sheng respects objective reality. In addition, the type of world he has experienced, or the social practice sample, does not really solve human desires and needs and achieve a way to achieve a world of great harmony. Therefore, he can only respect objective reality.

……

If the time and space of this ordinary mysterious country is not much different from the parallel time and space, in addition to the Olympic Games in 08, there were several other major events that could not be judged as good or bad, but in his personal opinion were bad things.

Earthquakes are one, but this topic is quite sensitive, so let’s just pretend that this time and space does not exist… Yang Sheng hates the idiom “a country prospers in times of adversity”, but it is true that in times of disaster and danger, the mysterious country has improved its ability to deal with disasters and danger.

Another very serious disaster was the subprime mortgage crisis caused by the collapse of the U.S. real estate market. The global economy, which was severely kidnapped by the U.S. dollar, was also in turmoil and severely damaged.

The milder manifestation is that the actual purchasing power of various countries' currencies has seriously declined. The more serious manifestation is that many small countries with weak disaster resistance or existing economic problems will experience more serious economic crises or go bankrupt directly.

Affected by this, the mysterious country suffered serious losses in international trade, and countless small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises collapsed, went bankrupt, and closed down. Although there was a solid firewall of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange and foreign exchange management policies, it had to issue an additional 4 trillion yuan of currency.

The backlog of foreign trade goods and the excess issuance of currency have also triggered a very familiar economic phenomenon, "inflation". If not handled properly, the achievements of thirty years of economic development may be destroyed.

But just like "a country prospers in times of adversity", it is indeed a disaster, but it is also an opportunity and a challenge. The mysterious country originally responded to the economic crisis by increasing its investment in infrastructure, but it did not expect that in the following years it would be given the title of "infrastructure maniac", and it also accidentally discovered new economic growth points and unlocked new ways of playing.

At the same time, it also actively stimulated domestic demand. While improving the material standards of the people, it also introduced new policies, cooperated with countless domestic manufacturers, and launched a series of promotional activities such as "home appliances going to the countryside", finding sales channels for countless unsold goods... It also discovered new economic growth points, and in the following ten years, it turned one of the world's largest exporters into the world's second largest consumer market.

In the process of tapping its own potential, the mysterious country not only possesses the most complete industrial categories in the world, but also optimizes its own industrial structure and upgrades the overall manufacturing system, bringing it close to or even surpassing the overall level of most industrial fields in developed countries.

The number of high-tech fields that they can control, which can be used to strangle the mysterious country, is already very small, and will continue to decrease if they continue to try to strangle the mysterious country and if some strange creatures continue to blow their trumpet for them in publicity.
