Chapter 272: Utopia and Dystopia

The Ice Bucket Challenge swept the world, and the media reports in various countries inevitably introduced this event, and Zhang Qiuxi, as the initiators, of course, could not fail to mention it, as the event spread more and more, the magazine and their names along with the red beans also spread all over the world.

At this time, "Hot Questions about Time Travel" has already been drawn all over the world, and it has also caused a lot of repercussions, and many people have read the newspaper only to find out that the "Soloist" magazine is the group of people in the movie, and naturally they are amazed.

Hongdou They were quite excited about this, and Zhang Qiuxi was much calmer, how to say that she was originally a world-renowned figure. However, the magazine has expanded its popularity around the world, and it has not really benefited from receiving a lot of praise.

After all, they are the same as Zhang Qiuxi, even if their names spread all over the world, they will soon be forgotten, and it is impossible for these foreigners to come to buy magazines, even in China, so that the sales of the magazines will soar, because by this time they are actually saturated, and it can almost be said that they have already collected all the people who are interested in their magazines.

"If we also put a little bit of advertising in the magazine, how can we say that the advertising cost can be doubled?" At this time, the red beans are still triumphant.

Not only because of the wide spread of the name, but more importantly, the event has already raised millions of donations in China alone, and thousands of people who have been invited to participate in the challenge have made it almost a national event.

"How many can you multiply tenfold?" Ye Qingqing shrugged, she began to wonder why she didn't print ads in magazines, but now she didn't care about the money at all.

Magazine advertisements cannot be compared with TV commercials, but they are the main source of income for many small magazines, and many magazines publish any advertisement as long as they are paid, and they don't care about what the content is. For example, why buy a camera for three dollars, buy a mobile phone for five dollars, and so on.

Zhang Qiuxi originally hated pervasive advertising, and from the first issue of the magazine, he didn't need to rely on this to make money, and after discussing with Hongdou, they all agreed that they would rather print decorative patterns on the back cover than advertise, otherwise the grade will be lowered. Not to mention being printed directly in magazines, even promotional posters have not been clipped.

"Ignore her, she's now basking in the fulfillment of a philanthropic celebrity." Zhang Qiuxi said: "But it's time to come back to your senses, you have donated so much before, and I haven't seen you so excited." ”

Hongdou said: "The feeling of donating to others is completely different, there are thousands of people in China, plus at least tens of thousands of people abroad, right?" And they are all celebrities, and the donations can add up to go around the earth. ”

"That's why it's not worth being happy, how many of these thousands of people do you think are passed down from us in relay?" Zhang Qiuxi sighed secretly, the situation in the country in the original time and space was still inevitable here.

What dozens of people challenge together, beautiful women only wear three-point challenges on the street, squatting in the trash can to challenge, handstand challenges, etc., many people who have not been named or directly said that they are not qualified to be named are full of tricks, and Shengsheng has turned charity activities into entertainment programs.

Fortunately, there was no drought in the world at this time, and there was no blame for wasting water except for some people pointing out that it was a waste of water, and the only thing to be thankful for is that although many people were entertaining themselves, they donated a lot of money, not even more than 100 yuan, or more than 1 million yuan.

Overall, the event was well received, and although it changed its flavor after that, at least the purpose of raising funds and calling attention to ALS patients was achieved, and many people became aware of the existence of ALS.

"I think as long as the goal is achieved, there is no need to take the rest seriously, after all, it is not a utopia, how can it be ideal." Shangguan Jin is as indifferent as ever, although they are the initiators, but in fact, no matter what controversy there is, it is impossible to burn on their heads, and everyone knows that this is not something they can control.

"Hey, are you going to take turns to show off? I've just figured out what ALS is, and now there's a utopia, what the hell does this thing mean, it sounds very high? Ye Qingqing muttered dissatisfiedly, and Hongdou said a little incredulously: "Isn't it, you don't even know about utopia?" ”

"I've heard about it in TV dramas, but I haven't understood it." Ye Qingqing shrugged and said.

Zhang Qiuxi said: "Given that your world only has comics, you are not interested in literature at all, and it seems to make sense if you don't know." Utopia, simply put, is the ideal of a better world. ”

Shangguan Jin followed the popular science and said: "The original meaning of utopia is that there is no place, or a good place. By extension, there is only a place where zĂ i is ideal, and zĂ i cannot exist, and it can also be understood as a fantasy country. From the novel of the same name from the 16th century ......"

"Stop." Before Shangguan Jin finished speaking, Ye Qingqing hurriedly interrupted and said, "It's okay, I already know the meaning of utopia, as for the source or something, there is no need to instill it in me." I know you're all literary and artistic youths and know all about these things, but I'm not. ”

Shangguan Jin could only roll her eyes, she also knew that telling Ye Qingqing about this was tantamount to playing the piano to the cow, and she was not reluctant. Zhang Qiuxi said: "Actually, I am more interested in dystopia than utopia. ”

Although Ye Qingqing was not interested in these things, Zhang Qiuxi said this, she still asked curiously: "Since utopia is utopianism, if you support dystopia, does it mean that you are also against utopia?" ”

"Little sister Ye Qingqing, since you're not interested in this, then it's better not to ask more." Hongdou walked over and touched Ye Qingqing's head, causing her to grin and glare before continuing: "The so-called dystopia does not mean against utopia, but refers to the world opposite to utopia, in fact, this is also utopianism. ”

"Okay, you talk about yours, I'd better draw my comics honestly." Ye Qingqing was deeply shocked, and felt that it was better not to interject again.

Hongdou then said: "Xiaoqiu is a science fiction writer anyway, and it makes sense that he is interested in dystopia, but none of the previous works have been expressed, and we really don't know if you don't say it now." ”

Dystopia is also a genre of literary genres, because it is generally set in the future world, and the background of dystopia is generally related to scientific and technological civilization, so most dystopian novels are classified as a kind of science fiction, and Zhang Qiuxi happens to be mixed in this circle.
