Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 94 Amei, you must be confident
Chen Linfeng recalled Sister Mei's opinion yesterday and said, "I also asked my agent this question yesterday. She said that she thought it was good before coming here, but after seeing it in person, she felt it was not that good."

He recounted Sister Mei's answer and explained the origin of her fantasy of "paradise".

"When the great way is practiced, the world is for all..."

Although the content lost some of its original flavor after the English translation, it still gave the journalists a sense of freshness.

"And what do you think?"

“My opinion is exactly the opposite of my agent’s. Before I came here, I thought Emily Ken was not very good, but after I came here and saw what she said, I thought she was not bad.

Yesterday I saw the news that NASA announced that it would return to the moon. Other things I saw and heard also made me feel that Emily Ken is still a confident and motivated country, so I think it’s not bad.”

The reporter was very interested in his original opinion. "Why did you have a bad impression of Emily Ken before you came here? Was it caused by the propaganda of the Chinese government?"

It seems that although this is the time when Americans are most pro-China, those who are imbued with Cold War thinking cannot avoid such bizarre ideas.

"Of course not. I am just judging by the laws of history. There is a saying in China, 'Overabundance cannot last long.'"

Chen Linfeng first said it in Chinese and then translated it into English.
“This represents an ancient Chinese wisdom: things tend to decline after reaching their peak.

China has had several peaks in its thousands of years of history, but each peak could only last for 20 to 30 years before gradually declining.

Chen Linfeng also used the examples of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty's Restoration and the Kaiyuan Prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

"Emerick Amerikaan has reached its peak since 1991. It has been more than ten years now, and the country is still able to maintain its spirit and momentum. I think this is a good thing."

Chen Linfeng said meaningfully, "I sincerely hope that this kind of confident and tolerant attitude can be maintained for another 20 years, or even forever."

After talking about international views for a while, the reporter began to ask about Chen Linfeng's personal experience.

"I heard that you are a famous genius in China, with a photographic memory and excellent academic performance since childhood.

This is the first novel I have written and it has been well received.

At the same time, he won the first place in the largest exam in China.

The TV series I starred in..."

The reporter recounted Chen Linfeng's resume and it was obvious that he had done a good job of preparation. After saying this, he changed the subject.

"Borrowing the topic we just talked about, you have achieved so much, do you think you have reached the peak?"

"Of course not, not even close."

As a reborn person, of course I don’t think that the current achievements are enough. This is just the beginning.

"So what is your ultimate goal?"

Chen Linfeng said in a joking tone, "Maybe I will become an internationally renowned writer, or maybe I will become an international superstar or a representative of pop culture. Who knows? Let's take it one step at a time."

At this time, he would not answer honestly.

Of course, the reporter was not satisfied with this ambiguous answer.

She asked in a probing tone, "You just mentioned famous writers, international superstars, and representatives of pop culture. Who do you think deserves these titles?"

Digging a hole for me?

Chen Linfeng said cautiously, "Among best-selling authors, I prefer Tolkien, and JK Rowling's Harry Potter is also very famous.

As for international superstars, I admire Van Loong and Leo DiCaprio more. As for the king of pop culture, I think it might be Michael Jackson?"

The answers included celebrities from both the East and the West, all three races, and covering Europe, America and Asia. Chen Linfeng felt that he could be called a master of balancing things.

"So, these people are your target?"

Chen Linfeng laughed and ignored the question. The reporter understood the implication and did not continue to ask.

Next, the reporter asked a variety of questions about his views on family, his preferred lifestyle, whether he had a favorite girl, etc.

There are also views on more abstract issues such as the Eastern education system, differences in concepts, etc.

Overall, Time magazine's attitude towards him was good and there were no difficult questions.

In fact, the main reason is the current gorgeous environment. The United States is looking down on the world and does not think that anyone is its opponent. It has a tolerant mentality of a winner.

These uncrowned kings are not so sharp when facing some foreigners who have made certain achievements.

Of course, Disney’s reputation may also have something to do with it.

After finishing this interview, the main purpose of my visit has been achieved. All I have to do next is participate in a few more talk shows before I can go back.

Chen Linfeng called the crew to discuss the specific time of his return, and was slightly complained about by the production staff.

Without the lead actor who had the most important role, many actors had to change their schedules and come to the crew to shoot earlier, which meant the production staff had to do a lot more coordination work.

This is how a film crew works. The director only needs to shout "cut" behind the camera, but the production staff have a lot of things to consider.

Chen Linfeng flattered him a little and the matter was over.

The production manager also told Chen Linfeng a piece of new news: the crew had made major changes to the script, and that he would be on the cover of Time magazine, all of which were already known to reporters.

"As soon as you come back, you will be besieged by reporters. By then, the crew should be open to interviews, so you have to prepare early."

"Okay, Brother Wang, I understand. Thank you."

In the following interview programs, Chen Linfeng rarely experienced the differences among human beings.

These interviews are not the kind that are well-known nationwide, but they are targeted at a specific group and will attract more attention, so the questions their hosts ask are mostly about topics that their target users are more interested in.

For example, in a program mainly targeting students, the host kept asking him whether there were any girls in school that he liked, whether a celebrity like him would be popular with girls, and whether there were many beautiful girls in the school.

He can't stop talking about girls. That's right.

There are also programs specifically for reading enthusiasts. The host of this program is more to Chen Linfeng's liking. He has obviously read his books, and the questions he asks are generally related to the content of the book. There are also some discussions about creative ideas, and the most frequently asked question is how the author came up with a certain plot.

It seems that readers in the United States will also appreciate his creative ideas in plagiarizing.

Chen Linfeng felt like a fish in water on such a program and talked about a lot of his own ideas. After all, he has been writing for so many years, and although most of it is plagiarism, he has also added a lot of his own ideas and adaptations. As he writes more, he will naturally have his own experiences.

Overall, participating in such a show is a much better experience than being asked about girls all the time before.

The only thing that made him a little nervous was that many of his readers at the scene kept shouting at him to write a new book as soon as possible. This kind of offline urging for updates was really scary.

He didn't dare to say no, and could only reply repeatedly that he would do it as soon as possible.

Next up is the highlight of the show, Conan Late Night.

In terms of format, this program is not much different from previous talk shows.

In fact, after decades of development, the format of television talk shows has gradually become fixed.

In the studio, the host often sits behind a table, and the stars or guests sit on the sofa nearby. The host will ask some template questions, or the two sides will play some interactive games, and sometimes the audience will also join in.

With similar routines, if you want to attract audiences, the host's own charm and comedic skills are naturally the key.

But a script is also indispensable. Before the show, the guests and the program team will design short skits to ensure the show effect.

Chen Linfeng had already communicated with the program crew including the host before the show, and the show officially began next.
