Chapter 55 Conan Show
'Genius idea'

An excellent brand can make people think of its content just by looking at its name.

After finalizing all the details of establishing his personal brand, Li Ang handed over the registration of the new company to Bonnie.

He hurried to ROC and talked with public relations manager Pena until late at night.

This is done entirely to prepare for the spicy questions that the host may ask during tomorrow's recording of "The Conan Show".

Although "The Oprah Winfrey Show" has an unshakable historical position in the field of interview programs, in recent years Conan O'Brien has achieved a double kill of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in terms of ratings and reputation with his spicy and humorous hosting style.

Appearing on an interview show is risky for any celebrity.

The source of ratings for this kind of program is that the host keeps digging holes until the unknown stories behind the stars’ glamorous personas are uncovered.

Most celebrities can gain a wave of new fans after the interview program, but a few fall into the host's trap and ultimately reap negative consequences.

What Leon has to do is to maintain the cult character of "Street Jesus" and never let Conan's sensational tactics break his image.

He said the company's concerns were completely unnecessary.

"Street Jesus" is not a character setting, he is a scum who struggled out of the mire of the bottom of society.

The next morning, Leon boarded a flight to Atlanta, Turner Broadcasting Corporation headquarters.

After finishing his make-up routine, he reviewed the script with the host Conan.

This kind of rehearsal-like "script-checking" is meaningless for a talk show. A host of Conan's level cannot play by the rules.

When facing Li Ang, he always had a frivolous smile on his face, and anyone could see that he did not take this second-tier celebrity seriously.

After the program was officially recorded, Conan's questions were normal at the beginning.

Conan asked jokingly, "As a white boy who grew up in Brownsville, I'm curious whether you have been able to protect your chrysanthemum?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience burst into laughter.

Li Ang immediately retorted: "I gained the respect of many people there."

"On the contrary, Mr. Conan, if you grew up there, the person sitting opposite me today might be a lady."

Conan was so embarrassed that his face turned red, and the audience in the audience laughed so hard that they were rolling on the floor.

The tension between the two people gradually increased.

As a host who makes a living by talking, it would be a shame for Conan if he was defeated by a fledgling new singer on his talk show.

"Do you know the rapper Chris Brown?"

"Yes, but we are not familiar with each other."

"He mentioned you on a radio talk show the other day. He said you were a sinister little man and a softie."

"He can say these things to my face. The guy who hides and barks at me behind my back is the real wimp."

When it came to the question-and-answer session about private life, Conan knew his chance had come.

"Mr. Leon, I heard that you and Hollywood's new goddess, Miss Margot Robbie, have officially announced their relationship?"

"Yes."

"Congratulations! A white guy from the slums got the blonde beauty that everyone in America wants to fuck~"

Fxxk
Li Ang cursed in his heart, thinking that this host was taking him less and less seriously. He could imagine how sharp his next questions would be.

Conan asked with a smirk, "I recently heard a rumor that Miss Robbie and Leonardo DiCaprio had an affair while filming The Wolf of Wall Street?"

wow——

There was a huge exclamation from the audience instantly.

Conan couldn't stop smiling, "What do you think about this, Leo? I hope this is just a rumor~" Leo lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds. Although he was mentally prepared, he didn't expect the other party to go all out right away.

Isn't this a blatant humiliation?

"That's impossible. I trust Robbie 100 percent."

"What's impossible? No woman in the world can refuse Leonardo~ My wife Lisa is in the audience." Conan stood up and pointed to the audience: "Lisa, am I right?"

At the same time, the audience also started to make noises, and the situation was very unfavorable to Li Ang.

When Conan thought he had won, Leon made a surprising move in front of the camera and countless audiences.

He first said, amidst the laughter of the room, "Robbie and I have always gotten along well in that aspect, so much so that she often jokingly calls me 'Whitey Brother'."

Even on a personal interview program known for its explicit language, Li Ang's answer was quite explosive, leaving the audience stunned once again.

Then he slowly stood up and slightly twisted his hips in the direction of Conan's wife Lisa.

"Mrs. O'Brien, I don't think anyone can refuse this, right?"

The whole audience fell silent for a moment, and then burst into huge laughter.

The host Conan was so angry that his face turned green. He glanced at Leon's crotch and almost cursed out the "F-word" in a very rude way.

He was silent for nearly a minute, and the recording of the program was almost interrupted.

Despite this, Conan still maintained a strong professional quality and insisted on finishing the recording of the program.

After the show was finished, he grabbed his wife Lisa's wrist and left the TBS building without looking back.

As soon as he returned to New York, Leon received a call from Lenny.

ROC company highly praised Li Ang's performance in the Conan Show.

A week later, TBS aired Leon's episode of "Conan Show," and due to its explosive content, its ratings far surpassed previous programs.

The scene where Conan's face turned blue after being scolded by Leon has become a famous scene that people talk about.

The nickname "Bainike" spread quickly and was showing signs of replacing "Street Coconut Crisps".

Even the record sales of "Take Me to Church" doubled after the show was aired.

On the same day the show was broadcast, a heavyweight came to the newly expanded Apocalypse Recording Studio: David Guetta, who was ranked in the top 3 of the Top DJs last year.

Although David kept complaining that the equipment here was not professional enough, he still completed the first version of the accompaniment for "Faded" within a day.

Such a rough version is not even a demo. The real demo will have to wait until David returns to his studio and produces it using his professional equipment and software.

Despite this, this rough accompaniment still shocked everyone.

The charming drum beats and synthesized audio seem to bring people into the fantasy world of the future cyber world.

Li Ang immediately picked up the phone and called Robbie.

"Honey!" Although the two have been dating for a while, Robbie is always very excited when he receives a call from Leon.

Although the two of them don't have much time to meet, Robbie always talks on the phone with Li Ang for at least an hour at midnight, sometimes with a couple of sexy selfies.

"Baby, I have a surprise for you."

"What surprise?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to be a singer? I just wrote a piece just for you."

Robbie couldn't believe his ears.

In the entertainment industry, compared to giving cars, houses and jewelry.
There's nothing more romantic than composing a song for your girlfriend.
