"Handsomeness is justice, beauty is truth!" Li Jie shouted from the stage. He used an impassioned tone to preach his ideas to the young mutants below the stage.
Katie and the others in the audience were dumbfounded. Especially the older generation of X-Men, they didn't quite understand Li Jie's brain circuit.
For example, Laserman was holding his girlfriend Jean Grey and whispering, "What does he mean? What does handsomeness mean? Does justice have anything to do with handsomeness? "
Jean pondered for a moment and replied in a low voice, "I think what Nightcrawler said is probably 'handsomeness is right in everything they do'."
"Huh?" Scott was even more confused.
But Jean patted him on the shoulder and continued, "But don't worry, Scott. Because you're still very handsome, at least I like it. " At least I like it. "Jean smiled and kissed Scott on the cheek.
Well, since his girlfriend explained it like that, Scott would take it as the right thing to say. He touched his kissed cheek.
On the stage, Li Jie continued, "To put it simply, the meaning of this sentence is: Handsome people are justified in everything they do!"
"It sounds ridiculous, right?" Li Jie's words made the Mutants below look at each other in confusion.
Yes, it was indeed ridiculous. How could handsomeness be right? It was completely illogical and unconventional. Stormwind, who was sitting in the audience, raised her hand, "Wait, I didn't mean to interrupt your speech, Nightcrawler. It's just that I can't understand the meaning of what you said. Why is handsomeness right? "
Li Jie shrugged, "It seems that you don't follow stars very much, Stormwind. I mean, do you have a favorite star? The kind that I like very much. "
Stormwind thought for a moment, "Marlon Brando, I like his Train Desire and The Godfather very much."
"Well, you're a mature and reserved lady." When Li Jie heard Marlon Brando's name, he said noncommittally, "But you can't expect everyone to be as rational as you. Just because you like Marlon Brando doesn't mean everyone else will like Al Pacino. "
"Do you know that there is a kind of crazy creature in this world? They usually lurk among us ordinary people, but they have incredible power. It wasn't a mutant ability, but another terrifying ability. This ability is called [Chef], "Li Jie explained in a serious tone that the mutants had never heard of before.
In fact, when Li Jie had introduced it to Professor Xavier, the professor had not understood it either. Therefore, he felt that this lecture could only be handled by Li Jie.
"Once this kind of person starts to be infatuated with something, most of the time, they will be unreasonable. It doesn't matter if they're obsessed with idols, celebrities, or paper wives. "
"They will use extraordinary perseverance to persist in something, and they will persist for many years. This kind of person is actually very common, but sometimes they're buried deep. "Li Jie began to explain the key points of this plan.
"We need to change the image that traditional mutants give people. I think you should know what the traditional image of mutants is all about. "Li Jie pointed at Stormwind.
Stormwind said, "The American media usually advertises things like [Uncontrollable danger, violent factors, bad neighbors in the community] and so on."
Li Jie then pointed at Jean Gray. Jean thought for a moment, "In some European countries, some tabloids will write about other things. For example, they'll make an issue out of the possible bodily defects of mutants. These tabloids like to write about eye-catching things to increase sales. "
At this time, Katie spoke up, "But China seems to advertise better. They usually advertise the dedication of mutants or something like that. "
Li Jie had watched China's promotional video for this plan. He wanted to use it as a reference. But after watching it, he felt that it would be better not to watch it.
So he looked at Katie and asked, "Do you really want to use the promotional video of the Central Publicity Department, or follow their model to advertise?"
Huh? Katie thought about those very, very high-end promotional videos and decided to give up in the end.
So Li Jie continued, "Well, we all know what the mainstream Western countries are advertising about mutants now. Aliens, unsociable, dangerous, flammable, and explosive. That's about it. "
"Facing this kind of publicity is actually very disadvantageous for Tuvalu. Because when someone hates you, even the way you eat will feel disgusted! "Li Jie was telling the truth. This was the current situation of the mutants.
"So we need to change this image. My words may sound ridiculous, but they're very useful truths. People in this world will always add points to things that are beautiful or cute. "
"Humans are very shallow. Most people look at the outside and don't care about the inside. It's just like when you find a girl (guy), you always like the beautiful (handsome) first! Give up, we humans are so shallow and ignorant. At least most people are like that. "
Li Jie said bluntly, "At least when I find a girlfriend, the first person I like at first sight is because she's beautiful. It's precisely because she's beautiful that there are all kinds of stories. You may be willing to understand someone, but if that person is also very attractive, you'll be even more willing to understand him (her)! "
"So things that seem very absurd are actually the simplest truths that are closest to the truth of this world!" Li Jie gave everyone a thumbs up, "Don't think what I said is ridiculous. Forming an idol team is the first step you need to do."
"Let people become your fans first. If they don't become your fans, please don't let them become passersby's haters. Only when the number of fans increases, passersby's haters decreases. Only then will people be more willing to understand the mutants. This is called love me, love my dog. "
Li Jie gave a specific example, "For example, there's a very ordinary mailbox in Shanghai (used to send letters). Because a celebrity took a selfie here, this mailbox became an Internet celebrity. Countless fans of the celebrity went there to take pictures. At its peak, they even had to wait in line for ten minutes. "
"Even the local government specially planned and designed this mailbox. For example, they added antlers to it. Then they turned it into a Shanghai attraction or something. Can you imagine? This is a decision made in a super metropolis with a population of more than 22 million. "Li Jie used a very practical example to explain what the celebrity effect and the celebrity agent meant.
"Therefore, forming a Mutant Hero Idol team is something you must do. Professor Charles was supposed to be the one to talk to you about this. But for various reasons, he asked me to do it. "Li Jie pointed at Professor Charles. Professor Charles dodged.
"This idea suddenly came to me when I was chatting with the professor. We both feel that this method is very practical. Tuvalu needs to establish a new national image! "
"In fact, politics is sometimes nonsense. The cultural impact and the establishment of a national image is a very important and long-term thing for a country and a race!" Li Jie said this in a solemn way.
"You need to get used to facing this kind of thing that seems ridiculous, but is actually beneficial to the mutants. Because this is politics! "
"So this is a proposal that I discussed with the professor. You can discuss it. Our initial idea is to form two or three hero teams. You need to have ability, but you need to have good looks. "
Li Jie stretched out a finger, "The first team is also the team that we want to promote in terms of the number of fans. The target market is young people, such as Katie, Iceman, and other youthful and energetic teenagers. After all, the future belongs to the young people. You need to save the world. At the same time, you need to make other young people feel that you are cool. Make them willing to follow your Facebook, Weibo, and cheer for you! "Some of the young mutants chuckled.
Li Jie stretched out a second finger, "The second team, I call it the Model Men Team. This team's main target was the mature market, not the youthful energy to win. But calmness and experience. In terms of ability, this team has the highest requirements. I suggest middle-aged men like Laser Eyes Scott and Wolverine Logen as the main force. They have combat power and good looks, and focus on the mature market. "
"Mature middle-aged people are not as easily incited as young people, and it is not easy for them to change their position and cheer for you. But they are the backbone of modern society. At least they need to change their traditional views a little. Therefore, this team's mission is also the most important. "Following Li Jie's slow and firm words, the laughter and whispers below the stage became softer.
Li Jie stretched out a third finger, "The third team, I think we can call it the Female Hero Team. It is completely made up of female heroes. Smart and capable, not losing to men in ability. At the same time, they are careful and gentle, and have the charm of a woman. The Female Hero Team can do many things that other heroes can't do. "
"For example, informal state visits, such as helping children in poor areas, local medical assistance, and so on. In this regard, women have an advantage over men. The members need to show their courage and bravery, but also their love and sympathy. The members are made up of female mutants such as Ling Die, Stormwoman, and Jean Grey. "
"Here, I must first make it clear that doing this must be voluntary, and you must have a certain level of awareness. Because from now on, you will become a public figure. Because you are not only a hero, but also an idol representing the country. What you do is related to how others view the country. Every little mistake you make will be magnified with a magnifying glass. "
"You may have to suppress your nature and do all kinds of things you don't want to do. Wear a mask and say those hypocritical and ridiculous things. You can only do what has been arranged for you, and do those things that are in line with your idol hero persona. Say those things that are in line with your identity! You may even lose yourself in the process and become exhausted. So finally, I want to say, if you don't have enough perseverance, you can't become such an idol hero! Because in addition to saving, you also need to please others, which is cruel. "
Li Jie patted the table, and the scene was silent. Now no one whispered, and no one thought this proposal was ridiculous. Because everyone knew that this was not simply forming a ridiculous idol group, but a difficult mission!
"Becoming an idol hero may sound ridiculous. But behind this ridiculousness, you need to carry the image and future of this race! I hope you can take it seriously. This is not a game, but the beginning of a difficult mission. Want to save the mutants? First, you need to save yourself. So! Let's begin! "
As soon as Li Jie's voice fell, the audience was so silent that a pin drop could be heard.
Idol hero? It was not as glorious as it sounded.
