When the group came to the post house, Wang Jian's arm was already bruised.
He wanted to blend in with the crowd, but unexpectedly, he was noticed: "This is Miss Long, please take a seat, we have arranged the best room for you." β
Long Yifei frowned, didn't think of anything, and said, "I didn't notify me in advance that I would come over." β
The man smiled and said, "Miss Long is so famous, how could we not know it." β
Looking at the eyes of the three of them, he explained, "We also have newspapers to read here, and we also have your CDs." β
The three of them were wooden.
Wang Jian also secretly realized, at least, he didn't see a group of people who still maintained ancient costumes, think about it, how many people in the secret realm don't know, if there are hundreds of thousands of millions, then it is difficult to maintain a clothing industry, which is relatively not as rich as the outside world, and it is simple.
Why is this, although the people in the secret realm he saw were dressed very plainly, they were similar to modern earthlings in the final analysis.
It seems that the trade between the two sides is still good for the life of the people in the secret realm, and by extension, who is in the hands of this market? It is easy to imagine that the white tiger.
It's funny, this kind of large-scale trade in goods, without cultural exchange, oh no, there is, but one-sidedly.
That's actually a good thing, isn't it?
However, there is no picture of otherworldly fans chasing stars.
All art is propaganda.
Economic and commercial considerations are undoubtedly very important in the export of culture. However, it would be biased to talk about such a fundamental reason as "why we want cultural export" and to attribute export directly to political and economic activities.
For example, when we talk to foreign friends, we may inadvertently use a colloquial phrase or a proverb that we can't find a substitute for this proverb for a while, and this proverb may be alluded to Chinese classics such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West". In such a situation, the original topic of conversation may have to be put on hold for the time being, because the foreign friend lacks the cultural understanding of the relevant famous works, let alone cultural identity. We need to pause for a moment and take the time to explain the meaning of this proverb to our friends.
Perhaps there will be activities of a political and economic nature in the future, and perhaps there will also be grand issues of values......
However, in terms of facts, the most basic and original problem is that when different peoples or civilizations are in dialogue, we need an understanding and recognition.
This understanding and recognition may be one of the elements for the smooth running of most follow-up activities, including the further exchange and development of cultures, and second, it is also a necessity for everyday idle talk that does not involve too many interests, because it reduces the cost of our communication.
In the search for understanding and recognition, point-to-point explanations to foreign friends are of course very effective, but it is obviously very inefficient, so low that it cannot meet the needs of today's extremely frequent international exchanges.
However, the cultural export activities carried out with the help of national strength, using the excellent cultural products of the country as the medium, due to their high degree of organization, orderliness and direction, will be more efficient in seeking understanding and recognition, and the "crackdown" will be more accurate and in place.
Cultural export is not an option for seeking understanding, not the only one, but it is of high quality.
In the process of cultural export, it is a theoretical judgment that the search for understanding is more efficient, but whether the effect achieved in substance is better and whether the understanding between the two parties becomes more thorough depends on the practice of exporting.
Why cultural export?
In order to seek basic understanding and recognition among peoples or civilizational dialogues. In fact, this is not only one of the purposes of cultural export, but also many of our daily activities, including literary and artistic creation, also have a certain nature of seeking understanding and recognition. Therefore, I am not in favour of stigmatizing or vulgarizing the activity of cultural export, which in itself may be justified and necessary. If we feel that there is something wrong with cultural export, it probably does not stem from the fact that cultural export itself is a wrong activity.
But not all propaganda is art.
In terms of the fundamental intention, cultural export itself may not be so utilitarian, but in terms of means, cultural export will inevitably involve political and economic means, and even political and economic means will be transformed into the main goal of cultural export at some stage. How to organically integrate propaganda and art is the key issue.
Wang Jian doesn't know if the upper echelons of the government have carried out a policy combing for the secret realm, that is, special policies and departments are responsible for dealing with the "brainwashing" of the secret realm.
Cultural exports and cultural products form a relationship more akin to a "dual-track" approach.
Cultural export is "what policy the government will adopt", while the formation of cultural products is "what the artist will do". Although the former has many influences on the latter, in essence, cultural products are still the artist's personal toil and achievements. From the perspective of artistic creation, we can only consider what kind of external support can be given to artists to improve the probability of producing excellent cultural products.
This is why cultural and artistic products are different.
In fact, it is a commodity, which is no different from grain and industrial products, but the profits are very different, and even "windfall profits". If you can sell it for a large price, high added value, and a long industrial chain, why not sell it?
Since it is a commodity, it must be publicized and marketed.
This is the so-called cultural output "the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys" is a very idealized idea, there is no problem in the dimension of the individual, but when it comes to the country, if you don't shout at the alley, others will not enter your alley.
Besides, how much confidence do you have in your wine? Can the aroma of the wine drift out of the alley? In the context of mass communication, sometimes marketing is far more important than the quality of the product itself. The core of communication is "man eats dog"
No matter how the media and environment of communication change, what will never change is the pursuit of high-quality content by human beings. But the group that has such a quest is ultimately a minority, and in everyday situations it will be drowned in public opinion.
In fact, the spread of culture has nothing to do with the cultural products themselves, and the problems of culture are actually economic problems.
All kinds of means, propaganda are attached, and even the quality of cultural products itself is secondary, the most essential thing is that the economy determines culture, and nothing else.
If you succeed in cultural export, then probably, you can sleep with other people's women, take other people's property, and others will kneel and lick you.
If you fail to export your culture, then maybe, your woman is slept with by others, your property is taken by others, and you will kneel and lick others.
As far as human beings are concerned, it is impossible for any nation in any era to be free from fighting.
Then the economy, culture, science and technology, is the position in a state of peace, whoever wins, who can enslave others inside and outside to fight, the external form of expression is expansion, the internal form of expression is the nest fight.
Without expansion, there will be fighting, and with expansion, there will be a decrease, which is common in any era.
That's what makes Wang Jian weird.
How does the secret realm resist the cultural "invasion" of earthlings?
There is something wrong with the word cultural aggression.
Culture is something that cannot be actively "exported".
Culture, with culture. Who are they? It's a specific person.
Where is the key to the "transformation of people" into a specific cultural phenomenon?
You have to be willing to do it. Why would they want to?
Obviously, it is either good for others, or something that makes people happy, and what is so horizontal and vertical that it can conform to its original demand.
Therefore, the "spread" of "culture" is a natural phenomenon, and people or groups of people in different time and space almost randomly create cultural phenomena that are beneficial to themselves and interesting, and specific cultural phenomena must have a high efficiency in terms of beneficial and interesting aspects, and conform to the logic of the cultural phenomenon itself, beneficial and interesting, and cultural phenomena will learn from each other. It is natural that they will improve each other and eventually become mixed, and that there will be things that are meant to be useful and interesting, but which are actually found to be harmful and uninteresting, and this is a natural thing.
However, "culture" and "conquest" really have nothing to do with each other.
All specific cultural phenomena are created by a certain person or a small group of people, and everyone except them is a recipient.
Can this recipient be divided into "conqueror" and "conquered" according to the "order of acceptance time"? Conquest can only be a process of interaction between will and will, and there can be no process of "conquest" between will and non-will, between non-will and non-will.
Here, I would like to complain about some thoughts, this habit of thinking, that is, always giving non-voluntarial things to will, and I like to extinguish the real will the most, especially for self-will, especially liking or even advocating "brainwashing".
"Conquer the mountains," "conquer the land," and "conquer the rivers" at every turn, so why do you "conquer the mountains"? Does it say, "I have conquered"?
In other people's places, you are not much different from ants, you have to carefully touch the temperament of others, move against static, and have countless support guarantees, and finally look at the empty "on the mountain" to brush down the sense of existence, that's it, how do you have the face to say the word "conquest"?
It's because you expected that the "vanquished" wouldn't laugh at you.
And this "culture", how did this thing "conquer" someone?
To think that to be justified is to be conquered?
You obey it, but there is a word "conquest" in conquest, and you obey a correct truth, and that is because you are conscripted? As long as you are served, it must be because you are conscripted, right?
That's how you have to whip yourself anyway, right? It's cheap.
Therefore, Wang Jian does not approve of the so-called cultural conquest, but culture can indeed affect some economic and political aspects.
Not to mention anything else, if he can grasp what is currently the most popular in the White Tiger Secret Realm, he can directly arrest people and report directly to get that team over, whether it is a singer or a movie star, or ......
Well, the most famous star in Huaguo seems to be eyeing him less than ten steps away from him......
Well, even if he arrived at the residence provided by the people of the secret realm, Wang Jian's situation was still so worrying.
The members of the mission who began to muster up courage, especially those young people, began to talk to Long Yifei in groups, at first there were only a few girls, and when they got to the back, almost everyone was moved.
Of course, the three of them always maintained a strange and unpredictable formation, and never broke away.
Just when Wang Jian's sweat had soaked his pants and calves, and was about to spread upward, help came.
"Hello, just learned of your visit, our Zhongjun Zuo Jun is very excited, if it is not for the can't get away, he will come to visit you immediately, we take it upon ourselves to arrange the most luxurious room for you, although it is not as good as your own mansion, but it is our Zhongjun Zuo himself lives in another business. β
Wang Jian was a little surprised, but immediately said: "Strange, the secret realm is not a big place, what kind of Chinese military assistant are you, do you still want to lead the troops to fight." β
Although I don't know about this ancient military system, since there is an army, it is obvious that this kind of military rank is not low, and even a person with military power?
Such a person directly led Long Yifei to his own home, what does it mean.
The people in the secret realm of this post house don't seem to have received people like Wang Jian, in fact, the post house itself is not visited all year round, and it is just a face project that was urgently repaired before.
Of course, the people of the secret realm are indeed different from the people outside.
Since the "sun" here is not a real sun, the skin shows a reddened white and tender ruddy, almost watery.
And this is a man.
However, this man was very shy, with a little hesitation, and said, "Who are you?" β
Long Yifei suddenly said: "This is my attendant, you don't have to arrange anything for me, just find a place and let my two attendants live with me, by the way, it should be better soundproofed." β
Attendant?
Wang Jian was in a trance for a moment, and then realized that he was talking about himself, and just wanted to distinguish a few words, but Long Yifei had a tiger face and said, "You two, are you followers or prisoners?"
Wang Jian has seen Lu Qingyi, he himself has no position of his own, although Lu Qingyi harms others, he still has the obligation to do something.
Lu Qingyi said: "I wasn't afraid of you, but let's see, what tricks do you have, this is someone's territory, do you really dare to fight here." β
Long Yifei said slowly: "If you don't have a big fight, I can cure you at any time." β
Lu Qingyi suddenly looked at Wang Jian mischievously and said, "My dear, you fight with this woman, who are you helping?" β
Wang Jian looked loveless and said, "I stunned myself." β
"Something without a heart. β
Lu Qingyi grabbed something in the palm of his hand and said, "I can leave at any time." β
