Chapter 142: The Future of Mankind

"You're right."

Luo Feng did not refute Aurora's words, but nodded in agreement: "Face up to your differences, come out of inferiority, strive to be yourself, persevere in using inner beauty to influence the world, awaken the conscience and wisdom hidden in people's hearts, and finally get recognized by the world, and get belated flowers and applause......"

His words are full of irony: "It sounds like an inspirational story, and all the inspirational films in the United States are this routine, right?" You have been brainwashed by the chicken soup for the soul made up by the mainstream media, and you really believe the 'positive energy' that the media wants you to believe? Wake up, how cold and cruel this world is, don't you mutants who have been captured and vivisected have experienced it firsthand? ”

Aurora's pretty face was as cold as ice, anger brewing in her heart.

"Is carrying the X gene a disease?"

Luo Feng seemed to be unaware of the chill emanating from this god-like powerful girl, and continued: "Is your propaganda strategy to treat your own ethnic group as a group of AIDS patients? Why stand in the shoes of the weak to win sympathy. What does it mean to face up to one's own differences and use connotation to awaken wise people? Do white people say things like, 'I'm proud to be white.'" ”

Reprimanded and questioned mercilessly by Director Luo Feng, Aurora's anger had affected her control of the magnetic field, the lights in the room flickered, and the tables and chairs trembled slightly.

"Frustrated self-esteem and anger? Strong self-esteem means lack of self-confidence, that is, inferiority complex is also strong! ”

Luo Feng didn't care, and said coldly: "I think that propaganda work is a strategy, and in a sense, it can be said to be a kind of deception. Seventy years ago, Captain America lifted a motorcycle and a beautiful woman on stage, and beat up Hemo, is it his real side? But it worked well, you know how many war bonds she sold? The purpose of propaganda is not to show your true self, but to convince the public that the image you show is the real you. ”

"Hank the Beast is a well-read, wise, and urbane gentleman."

Luo Feng continued: "But he can't perfectly show people the true side of the beast under the exterior, how many minutes can he speak at a time? After listening to his speech in just a few minutes, how could the audience possibly understand his inner being? The good looks of the president of the United States are an important plus, and the presidential candidates have to hire image designers to paint their faces with grease and whitewash, and you mutant politicians do the opposite, showing people in the image of beasts, and instilling a concept in the most intuitive way to the audience unconsciously - mutants are beasts. ”

Luo Feng's words were very ugly: "The personality is a good play, what about the publicity effect?" Is propaganda work a manipulation of personality and attitude to be successful? If we want to talk about individuality, there is a small country in Asia that has a special personality and attitude in its foreign propaganda, but the result is completely counterproductive! ”

Aurora was unwilling, but she calmed down under Elizabeth's reassurance, and the flickering lights in the conference room were normal.

"Under your leadership, the propaganda work of the mutant race has been terrible for decades, and you would have had a good candidate for a spokesperson, that is, your two mutual friends, Raven the Demon Girl, in addition to Raven, the Storm Girl Auroro is also a suitable candidate, black, female, born in Wakanda...... Her strengths are also very large. ”

Luo Feng continued: "Raven's appearance has a mysterious beauty, and her abilities can change into various beautiful images, she doesn't have to do anything, standing in front of the people to show her image and ability can convey an impression to the people, mutants are mysterious and beautiful, mutants like Raven are not scary at all, and they are even the objects that many people yearn for." ”

Luo Feng said: "In communication, there is a concept called the 'first cause effect', which is essentially a 'priority effect', also known as 'first impression', or 'preconceived effect', which has a very great impact on the psychology of the public. Raven and Auroro's First Cause Effect is the strongest of the mutant race, but you've chosen the worst of the Race Spokesperson! ”

Aurora and Elizabeth glanced at each other and began to think about what Luo Feng said.

"What was the first impression of your spokesperson, Hank the Beast, on the public?"

Luo Feng spread his hands and said: "'No matter how smart and knowledgeable a mutant is, it's just a terrible blue monster' You have been instilling this impression in the public and strengthening this cognition, the situation of mutants is becoming more and more difficult, and you are rejected by the public, and you as leaders cannot escape the blame!" ”

"That's because the public is stupid!" Aurora retorted indignantly, "Why don't they reflect, why don't they learn more about Hank, learn about the mutant race?" ”

"Why did they take the time to get to know Hank? Why take the time to learn about the mutant race? In a modern society where the pace of life is like a speeding train, few people are willing to spend more time getting to know and confirm a person who has left a bad first impression on him. ”

Luo Feng asked-for-tat: "Does the public owe you anything?" Don't take it for granted that anyone understands you! For them, it doesn't matter if the mutants are dead, the world is a safer place! If everyone could understand each other, the Tower of Babel would have been built a long time ago, would the world still be this chaotic state? ”

Aurora is such a strong person, she was pointed at her nose like this by Luo Feng, and she would have activated her ability to throw S.H.I.E.L.D. in his face a long time ago, but at this moment, she could only hold back her anger and it was inconvenient to attack.

It wasn't because she knew that Luo Feng could deprive her of her abilities in an instant, but because she couldn't refute Luo Feng's words, she also knew that Luo Feng said these sharp words for the purpose of fighting for the interests of the mutant race.

"Don't feel unfair." Luo Feng's tone softened, and he said in a deep voice: "The public's understanding is what the mutant race needs to fight for, not what it asks. If the two of you mess up the propaganda and make the mutant community have a bad public image as a whole, it's fair that the two of you will make amends and get back what you've lost. ”

"Moreover, now is a period of historical opportunity, whether the mutant race can grow and die out, and whether people regard mutants as a cure for disease depends on how the whole world views mutants in recent years."

Luo Feng's tone suddenly became very serious: "The progress of science and technology will greatly change human behavior and habits. Our S.H.I.E.L.D. spaceship is about to be built, and the earthlings will enter the historical stage of cosmic civilization. As far as I know, among the alien technology, gene modulation technology is very advanced, and it has almost reached the point where it can perfectly modify genes. At that time, mutants with defective X genes can be modulated into perfect X-gene mutants, which means that there will be no 'defective' low-level mutants in the future, but if the mutant race is still regarded as 'disease' and 'outliers', the same technology can completely erase the X gene! ”

In the universe, the Cree, Sovelin, and Skrull all have very complete genetic modulation technology. The Cree created the Inhumans, the Sovereigns claimed to be perfect genetic creations, and the Skrulls could even copy other people's ability genes into themselves to gain other people's superpowers.

"In the near future, the space fleet will sail through space, after scientific and cultural exchanges with aliens."

Luo Feng said seriously: "Sooner or later, earthlings will obtain these genetic technologies, do you want the X gene to be completely cured, or will all human beings evolve to perfect mutants?" People will only aspire to be you if they think that you are powerful, mysterious, beautiful and kind, and represent justice! That's why I want you to show the world. ”

The two mutant leaders were stunned, Charles had done research many years ago, and studies showed that the X gene is a kind of evolution, and more and more X genes will be produced among human beings, as long as there is a long enough evolution time, human beings will reproduce for several generations or even more than ten generations, and the number of mutant groups can even exceed ordinary people.

But after the publication of this study, people will see it as a flood beast, believing that the mutant transformation of human beings will be a catastrophe, and that mutant is a disease, as terrible as AIDS, and must be cured!

It is true that in that era, gene modulation technology was still a blank, and many mutants with defective X genes could not control their abilities, causing some damage, and some people had distortions and terrible appearances, leaving a bad impression on ordinary people.

But now that the times are different, with the acquisition of alien gene modulation technology, defective and aberrant mutants can repair the bad X gene and make it perfect, so will the mutant transformation of mankind still be a catastrophe?

Aurora wanted to say something, but was stopped by an old friend.

"What are we supposed to do?" Elizabeth was very calm, she asked thoughtfully, "Director Luo, I trust you and am willing to do anything that is beneficial to the mutant race. ”

"It's simple." Luo Feng said with a smile: "Dress up beautifully, show your most beautiful side in front of the camera, and make everyone think of the word 'mutant', and the most intuitive impression is that they are two cute beautiful girls." ”

"So, we still have to learn to sing and dance? Just like those little idols of youth? ”

Aurora muttered sarcastically.

β€œNONONO!” Luo Feng shook his finger and said, "That's too cheesy, too deliberate." You are the ones who saved the world, you don't need to show your talents for attention, you just need to show your true side. ”

Aurora was stunned, isn't it contradictory that Hank the Beast showed his true side and was said by Luo Feng to damage the image of the mutant race, but now he asked her and Elizabeth to show his true side?

Luo Feng saw her confusion, sighed and said: "No way, this world is so realistic, appearance is justice, with a cute face, you can do whatever you want......"
