Huayu started by playing Lao Ai

Chapter 143: Fame in America

Just as Zheng Jing was greeting Yaget, Li Tongwei was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone in an apartment in Shanghai.

"Weiwei, I found a job for you, as a team leader at the Telecommunications Bureau's Network Maintenance Center." My mother said on the other end of the phone, "This job pays well and is very leisurely. It's much better than what you had at ZTE."

Feeling his mother's concern, Li Tongwei rubbed his face and said, "I'll think about it."

“Your layoff this time may not be a bad thing.

The most important thing in life is stability. You will be happiest if you first find a stable job, then find a partner, get married and have children.

You listen to your mother, it's right."

"Okay mom, I'm hanging up now."

After hanging up the phone, Li Tongwei went to the bathroom to flush the toilet.

Looking at the clock on the wall, it was already 9: in the evening. Li Tongwei then realized that he had taken a nap for too long.

I slept through the night.

A week ago, Li Tongwei was laid off by ZTE Mobile, and since then he has been staying at home in his apartment, eating, surfing the Internet and sleeping.

For Li Tongwei, the first twenty years of his life were too smooth.

Young genius, programming master.

After graduation, most of his classmates chose to go abroad, but he stayed in China, determined to develop a mobile phone system for the Chinese people.

After joining ZTE Mobile, Li Tongwei was directly appointed as the vice president of the mobile phone R&D department.

He lived up to expectations, and the mobile phone system he developed gradually took shape.

Unexpectedly, in January 2001, the "Hexin" system developed by Ketai Century was rejected by the Shanghai city authorities when applying for copyright.

For a time, public opinion was rampant and many people accused "He Xin" of plagiarism.

Only people in the industry know that Hexin's R&D team is composed of technical backbones who resigned from Microsoft and several technical leaders from Tsinghua University.

The system model may be similar to foreign mobile phone systems, but the codes are different and it is not plagiarism at all.

The blocking of Hexin's copyright application is seen by the industry as a signal.

No one wants to spend a lot of manpower and resources to develop a system, only to find that it is not protected by patents and is instead criticized.

This has caused domestic companies, which have little motivation for R&D, to cut their mobile phone system development projects.

The same is true for ZTE mobile phones.

Li Tongwei was laid off as a result.

This time it’s not just layoffs, but the entire industry is gone.

This made all of Li Tongwei's research over the past two years go to waste.

He lost his goals and direction in life and became extremely depressed.

After washing his face, Li Tongwei began to think seriously that perhaps working at the telecommunications bureau was indeed a good choice.

But I was unwilling to accept it.

After all, working at the Telecommunications Bureau means a predictable life, where all your knowledge will be useless.

After thinking about it for a long time without any clue, Li Tongwei became more and more annoyed. He went to the computer and planned to play some games to relax.

I didn’t expect that the updated version of Hot Blood Battle Flag would need to be downloaded.

With nothing to do, Li Tongwei opened Yahoo and browsed the news to pass the time.

In the middle of the Yahoo homepage, you will see a photo of Zheng Jing.

"Exclusive interview with Zheng Jing, author of The Da Vinci Code, live broadcast of the interview."

"Spin the wheel? Shoot the halberd at the gate? Is Jesus a man or a god? Here is everything you want to know."

Seeing Zheng Jing, Li Tongwei clicked on it subconsciously.

After all, he had dinner with Zheng Jing and had Zheng Jing's contact information.

When you come to the interview topic page, there is an introduction in the middle.

"Zheng Jing is a well-known Chinese actor, writer, musician and entrepreneur.

His work, The Da Vinci Code, sold over 70 copies worldwide in its first week, and was the best-selling book in the United States, topping the New York Times bestseller list.

The New York Times called The Da Vinci Code "a novel that needs to be read with the help of an encyclopedia", and the famous American writer Namiel DeMille said that The Da Vinci Code is the most perfect suspense novel.

The Da Vinci Code has sparked heated discussions around the world. Today we are honored to invite Zheng Jing to accept our exclusive interview and answer everyone's questions. "

Clicking on this introduction will lead to a web page where a large number of netizens have left messages.

"Holy crap! Zheng Jing's book is so popular in the U.S.? It's the best-selling book! Gao Xiaosong said before that no one in foreign countries was interested in The Da Vinci Code, but it turned out to be a lie."

"Gao Xiaosong is just a clown, using the information gap to deceive us!
This guy comes from a scholarly family, but he can't even graduate from college. He is a disgrace to the entire family, and he still has the nerve to lie to people everywhere!

Everyone, don't forget Yunzi. How long has it been since she committed suicide because of Gao Xiaosong? "

“Netizens who understand English can go to foreign websites to check out The Da Vinci Code, which is not only a best-seller, but has also sparked a lot of discussion.

Yahoo live broadcasted the interview, but the Chinese and English websites were updated simultaneously, and a large number of netizens from abroad also participated.”

"The Da Vinci Code is really well written. It is the best suspense novel I have ever read. After reading it, I feel that my outlook on life has been overturned! Teacher Zheng is awesome!"

"The Da Vinci Code should be the best-selling book. Teachers and students in our school are all reading this book. Teachers of various subjects can find knowledge points in the book."

"Those rubbish who laughed at Zheng Jing before, why are they silent now? It's really boring."

"How can they talk like that? Zheng Jing's books are popular abroad, especially in the United States. This is certified by the Lighthouse. They dare not scold their own father."

……

After reading the introduction and comments, Li Tongwei realized that Zheng Jing actually wrote a book.

He also became curious about "The Da Vinci Code" and clicked into the live broadcast room.

As soon as I entered, I saw two pictures, which were photos of the interview scene.

Reporter Yaget was dressed very formally in a suit and tie.

Zheng Jing had just removed her makeup and was wearing a loose woolen sweater, looking very relaxed.

After seeing the photos, Li Tongwei had to admit that Zheng Jing was really handsome.

And he has a great figure, with broad shoulders, a wide back, a narrow waist and long legs.

In the comment section, a lot of people are saying how handsome he is.

Li Tongwei opened the special page of the English website.

I found that foreigners think so too.

"Is this Zheng, the author of The Da Vinci Code? I didn't expect him to be so handsome!"

"Zheng is so handsome, the more I look at him, the more charming he becomes. I want to date him!"

"Beautiful writers are out of fashion. Handsome writers are in fashion now."

“Please send more photos of Zheng, it will help me understand The Da Vinci Code.”

"It is said that Zheng is very big, can shoot arrows, and is very brave."

"If I could get a signed poster of Zheng for free when I bought the book, I would be willing to buy a few more copies of The Da Vinci Code."

It can only be said that human aesthetics are universal. Zheng Jing is top-notch in terms of appearance, figure, and inner temperament. He amazed many people as soon as he appeared.

Zheng Jing’s interview will be broadcast live on Saturday evening in Yenching.

In the United States, it is Saturday morning.

Because it was a break, many American netizens were paying attention to this interview.

Originally, Zheng Jing had gained some fame in the United States because of Li Fuzhen’s scandal and the incident of shooting the halberd at the gate.

With the release of "The Da Vinci Code" and the live broadcast on the Internet, his popularity in the United States began to slowly rise.

Li Tongwei waited for a while and saw the webpage refresh the message.

It is a text version of the interview record.

Yagert asked the first question: “We collected the ten most popular questions from netizens’ comments.

The first question is what Chinese netizens are most concerned about.

A lot of people want to know, can you really spin the wheel?"

Yahoo also understands traffic, and starts by asking gossip and privacy questions.

Zheng Jing replied: "My profession is an actor. In order to create a good role, I usually spend time and energy to figure out and understand the role.

You will also learn some skills of the character.

For example, Lu Bu, history records that he could shoot the halberd at the gate, so I practiced it and it turned out to be successful.

The same is true of Lao Ai."

Although Zheng Jing did not directly say whether he could do it or not, he basically admitted that he could turn the wheel.

The reason why he said this was to lay the foundation for various skills in the future.

As the character cards develop, Zheng Jinghui has more and more things.

As long as the audience gradually forms the belief that Zheng Jing is a good actor, they will learn these skills in order to shape the character.

And he is a genius and a quick learner.

There will be many new skills in the future, and Zheng Jing doesn’t need to explain too much.

After the first round of questions and answers came out, Chinese netizens all exclaimed “Awesome!”

"Fuck, can Zheng Jing really turn the wheel? What a man!"

"If others say so, I won't believe it, but I will believe Zheng Jing. After all, he can even shoot the halberd at the gate."

"I have to believe it, Zheng Jing's talent is too strong!"

"I'm so jealous. I want to spin the wheel too!"

……

Foreign netizens are somewhat confused, and many are asking, what is a spinning wheel?
Of course, some people also gave explanations. After seeing the explanations, foreign netizens became upset.

"This is impossible! Even if you have enough talent, you can't turn the wheel!"

"Zheng is just bragging! I don't believe anyone can do it."

For those who don't believe Zheng Jing, someone left a comment section explaining the fact that Zheng Jing played the role of Lao Ai.

There are also people who posted pictures of Zheng Jing’s various underwear advertisements, as well as comments from Chinese audiences.

Gradually, more and more people began to believe Zheng Jing.

It turns out that in the ancient and mysterious country of China, there really is such amazing skill!
Is this the real Chinese Kung Fu?

After learning about the wheel, many netizens couldn't help but start sharing the news on other forums and platforms.

As public opinion spread, more and more people came to watch Zheng Jing's interview.

“The second question is about The Da Vinci Code.

You said in the title page of the book that everything described in the book is accurate.

However, there is no definitive conclusion on the Priory of Sion, Leonardo da Vinci's paintings and orientation, the church's hunt for witches, and whether Jesus really married.

Do you have any secret information? Is this true?"

Zheng Jing replied: “When an event becomes the past and becomes history, it is bound to be vague.

No one can be 100% sure what the truth is.

If you want to get the best reading experience, please believe that everything said in the book "The Da Vinci Code" is true.

If you are a natural skeptic, you can certainly find a lot of flaws in "The Da Vinci Code."

Because there is no God in the world, no one can be omniscient and omnipotent, including me, and the books I write will have errors.

When you question me and find errors in The Da Vinci Code, you are agreeing with me.

There is no omniscient and omnipotent person in the world. Jesus was just a mortal, a mythical figure created by the church for the purpose of preaching. "

After these words were spoken, the situation in China was fine, as most people agreed with Zheng Jing's words.

But abroad, it caused an uproar.

There was a huge uproar on the website, and the controversy was huge.

Some people are religious and think that Zheng Jing's remarks are blasphemous; but others are not religious, or are only shallow believers, and think that Zheng Jing's words make some sense.

Especially readers who have read "The Da Vinci Code" have a deep understanding of the development and growth of religion and its bloody darkness.

Don't always say that Chinese people like conspiracy theories.

Americans prefer it.

Evil officials and bloody churches are also villains that often appear in American cultural works.

Because these are what Americans have experienced firsthand.

Zheng Jing's live interview started with gossip and privacy, coupled with extremely controversial topics, which can be said to have become a hot topic on the American Internet.

His name gradually became known to more Americans and he officially began to become famous in the United States.

Yahoo was always trying to stir up trouble, and asked several sensitive questions in succession, to which Zheng Jing answered.

At the end of the interview, Jagert asked: “One last question.

You have been living in China. Why did you suddenly start studying Western culture and finally write the book "The Da Vinci Code"?

Now some readers think that you have mastered the ultimate secret of the church and deliberately wrote the book "The Da Vinci Code" to expose these problems. Is that true?"

Zheng Jing replied mysteriously: "The secrets I know are all written in The Da Vinci Code. If you want to know the truth, you can study the book. I won't say anything more.

As for why I study Western culture, it is because Western culture has its advanced aspects that are worth learning and studying.

We Chinese have an old saying, "learn from each other's strengths to make up for one's own weaknesses", and there is also an idiom, "learn from both China and the West".

There is no harm in learning more.”

When Li Tongwei saw Zheng Jing’s final answer, he felt something in his heart.

He suddenly didn't want to go to the telecommunications bureau anymore and wanted to study abroad!

Go abroad to learn the most advanced technology, and then return to China to continue developing mobile phone operating systems.
