"No, that's not what I meant," Johnson immediately denied. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If he was allowed to choose only one of the two books, he would not hesitate to choose the third book, but he was not allowed to choose, so why didn't he eat both books?

Li Mo has a good appetite, and he is not even afraid of eating and breaking his belly, he wants to eat more, and Bantam Books is even more afraid of eating and supporting.

Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, after all, he had only watched one movie in "Snowpiercer", without any books as references, and he had not even seen the original comics. He also saved himself from being screwed up after adaptation.

"Li Mo, you must be a thinker in the future."

"No, it's just that I looked at it in China, and then I went to your United States to see it, and I heard about the situation in some other countries, and I had some inspiration in my heart."

"Your book refers to your country......"

"Johnson, you're wrong, don't say anything else, you've also come to our country to see it, only the poor, where do you get rich?"

This is Li Mo's biggest reliance, if in another ten years, the two countries will be at odds with each other, and the gap between the rich and the poor in the country will gradually become obvious, and it will be somewhat involved in the crony economy, and if it is not done well, it will become an insinuation.

In 84 years, there were some people who got rich first, but the wealth was limited, there were poor people everywhere, including most of the leading cadres, life was like that, at most the people were poor, they had food and clothing, the people had food and clothing, they were a little well-off, not much better.

"I see, you mean the Soviet Union?"

"Not really."

Gorbachev has not yet come to power, but he has been reforming the economy since the time of Andropov and Chernenko, but like China, they have not taken much step, and there have been no major leaks in the country for the time being.

Of course, the Soviet Union has a strong foundation, and if it is not changed, the gap between the rich and the poor will also appear, which is already more serious than that of China now.

But now, it still doesn't mean anything, that is, there is a serious shortage of light industrial products, and on the northeastern border, there are some bold people who have begun to do the undoing, the scale is not large, and the number is very small.

"Look." Li Mo opened the title page of the manuscript, and there were four paragraphs of text on it, two of which were in short Chinese, and two of which were his translations of English.

First paragraph:

-- The sage knows the trouble of the mind and sees the disaster of blockage, so there is no desire and no evil, no beginning and no end, no near and no far, no knowledge and no shallowness, no ancient and no modern, and all things are balanced in the middle of the county, so all the differences cannot be concealed to be chaotic. Xunzi Unmasking

Second paragraph:

If you can't go with it, you will also be crazy, the crazy will be aggressive, and the crazy will not do anything. "The Analects of the Confessions".

The first passage translated into the vernacular is that the sage knows the dangers of biased thinking and methods, sees the disadvantages of obscurity, and therefore does not particularly like a certain thing, nor particularly hates a certain thing, does not overemphasize the beginning, does not overemphasize the end, does not focus on the near and far, does not pursue the broad and shallow, does not mud the past and does not understand the present, so that he can make a comparative analysis of all things, find out a correct standard from them, and will not be blinded by the differences of various things and disturb the understanding of things.

The second paragraph is relatively simple, the sexual maniac is eager to forge ahead, and the sexual maniac is inactive, each of them is biased. The two must be reconciled...... This Zhongxing is the three points in Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn Period, and later generations call it the Mean, and "The Mean" also has some similar thoughts, but it was sorted out by the descendants of Confucius, which was somewhat scattered, and did not make it clear, which directly led to the later change of the taste of the Mean.

What is moderation?

It is not difficult to understand, to put it in layman's terms, just right, moderate, adapting to the times, proportionate, grace and power, and combining rigidity and softness...... and so on, all of which belong to mediocrity, not to pretend to be mediocre.

Li Mo could not translate these pre-Qin texts literally, so he roughly translated the meaning, and explained in English what he understood to be the mean.

However, Johnson is a Westerner, so let him see the east and east of Confucius and Xunzi...... Even though Li Mo had already translated it, he was a little stupid.

"Let's explain it this way, people are social animals, and someone has to take the lead."

Johnson nodded, don't look at the American people's cooking, they also need the president's.

"If someone takes the lead, they will have real power, and they will inevitably be able to distribute more benefits, but this must be kept within a reasonable range, if it exceeds this reasonable range, Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, and the people of the lower classes will inevitably resist. In the same way, resistance must have a certain thought, a certain preparation, and blind egalitarianism will lead to serious consequences. Therefore, the perpetual motion train collided with two extremes and finally perished together. But there will always be human beings who will move from this death to a new life, so I have left three children, that is the new life, that is the blank paper, that is the hope of mankind, and the new era begins ......"

This is the most spoof of Li Mo.

In the movie, it is a black man, a little Korean girl.

It's okay to put it in South Korea, but if you want to put it in the United States, the main body of the United States is still white, but they are embarrassed to say it, will they be happy to see this ending?

, we white people are gone?

Li Mo is very simple, the yellow race disappears directly, and I am making you money, as long as you are happy. Then leave a white girl, a black boy, and a white boy. With a white majority, whites should be happy, and with blacks, they won't make racist mistakes.

But...... But what will happen when these three children grow up?

Johnson finally understood, and what it meant was that egalitarianism would definitely not work, but the gap between the rich and the poor was too large, and it was also a big deal, and the gap between the rich and the poor must be controlled within a certain range.

"That's a good idea."

"Johnson, just know it, don't say it, once you say it, it will change its taste." As he spoke, Li Mo wrote down this paragraph with a pen, and said: "For the sake of the book's sales, you must keep it secret, please sign it." ”

Johnson didn't think much of it and signed his name.

However, although Li Mo has made many changes, he tries to maintain the flavor of the original movie, and it can be interpreted in multiple ways, but this is mainly the idea.

Hallick and Johnson flew back with the manuscript, Li Mo handed over the foundation, and Hollick negotiated with the bantam.

A few days later, Hollick flew back with the contract, and after his negotiations, Shengsheng increased the share of the hardcover version to 13 percent, and the share of the lite version to 11 percent.

This share is very high, if the original "Jurassic Park" can get 1 million manuscript fees, according to this share, it can get 1.35 million manuscript fees, an increase of 350,000 yuan!

Bantam Books also knew that as long as Li Mo's next book was not written too well, no matter which book it was, it would not be possible to divide it according to the original share. That's just the percentage of second- and third-rate writers......

Hao Like went to Li Mo's house again, otherwise what would he do with this high salary?

Li Mo is not worried, anyway, Hao Like's Chinese has also improved slightly, at least everyone can understand it if they speak slowly, as long as they can understand it, they can communicate with each other, including asking for directions.

Hao Like came back in the evening and said to Li Mo: "Li, your father is unwilling to go to the United States, let me bring you a message to apply for a green card for your mother......"

"What?" Li Mo exclaimed.

In the 80s, in addition to Li Mo and his son, there were other green cards that only applied for green cards and did not immigrate, but the number was very small, rarer than the giant panda, and the rest were basically for immigration.

The key is that Li Mo has never thought about immigrating at all, he has already applied for two green cards, plus one green card, what do you think?

There's no need to be in trouble.

He couldn't go back for the time being, so he had to let Hao Like stay first, and on Sunday, Li Mo took advantage of the long-distance bus to go home.

As soon as he entered the house, Li Mo asked dissatisfiedly: "Dad, what are you going to do, don't you know that my time is precious?" ”

"Xiao Mo, I'm not going to the United States, let your mother go this time."

"Mom, do you want to go to the United States? Not now, so let's wait until I graduate from high school and have more time to take you to the United States. ”

"What do I want to go, it's your dad who is committing evil!"

"Dad, what's the reason?"

Li Mo asked for a long time before his father told the truth.

Last year, he went to the United States, one did not sign a contract, and the other did not buy shares, Li Guangping's task was only to accompany him, so Li Mo left his father in New York, and when his activities were over, he asked Wang Yi to send him to Los Angeles. However, last year's route was different, starting from New York and ending at Los Angeles, who made these two cities the largest in the United States, and it is also a place where Chinese are concentrated. The middle cities have changed.

In Los Angeles, Mr. Li bought hundreds of more books, and this spring, Mr. Hallick brought newspapers with him and shipped them along.

But in New York, Li Guangping was humiliated, he was idle and bored, and Wang Translator was also kind, so he took him to Chinatown, which was actually not far from Chinatown itself.

Most of the Chinese in Chinatown Li Guangping can't understand what they speak, there are Mingnan dialect, there is Cantonese, but it doesn't matter if he can't understand it, the key is that he met someone who can understand and speaks northern dialect. The man asked Wang Yi who Li Guangping was.

Translator Wang followed Li Mo's instructions and said that he was a relative from the mainland of my family.

As soon as the man heard that he was from the mainland, he immediately said a lot of ugly things, in other people's territory, Li Guangping did not dare to attack, and he did not have the capital to attack, he was extremely angry, and pulled Wang Yi and left.

Not only for this matter, Li Mo has also said something before...... Some Chinese are fine, some Chinese have changed, Li Guangping knows that what he met is this kind of "changed" Chinese, so what is the meaning of this Chinatown turning, so he has to stay at home and watch TV.

If it was original, there was a color TV to look at, and I thought it was strange, but now that the Li family has an eighteen-inch color TV, Li Guangping is not uncommon, and he can't understand all the words.

All in all, it was a very unpleasant journey.

Hao Like came over, Li Mo's mother said, you went to the United States to be happy again, Li Guangping was angry, I won't go, you go.

Li Mo was angry and said, "That's it, Dad, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Wouldn't it be too simple to deal with these changed Chinese, pay to hire a big black man, stand in front of him, and he will be scared to pee immediately. The more aggressive the Chinese are towards their own race, the more they tend to fear blacks, not only blacks, but also Mexicans, and even Vietnamese, not to mention whites.

"I've arrived at Luo's chicken."

"Los Angeles."

"Yes, it's a distressed chicken, what do you say?"

"It's Luoshanji, not a chicken, you said, I'll have a way to deal with him next time. If you don't say, how do I know? At least Wang's translation is okay. ”

"He's okay."

"That's it, it's the same everywhere, there are good people and there are bad people. Mom, you really can't go, it's not me stopping you, first of all, our family has more green cards, it's not a good thing. ”

That is, in the past few years, in a few years, even if all the family has a green card, there will not be much of a problem. But after a few years, they will not immigrate, and even if they apply for a green card again, they will not have other ideas on it. Li Mo said again: "And this time the nature is different, Dad, do you know the President of the United States?" ”

"Yes, the biggest official in the United States."

"His wife has informed Hollick that we are going to the United States at the end of the year, and she and the president, possibly at the White House, where the president lives, will receive us. You say, is my mom going to be presentable? ”

"What, what?" (To be continued.) )
