Chapter 118: Poisonous Tongue Host

After Reneny returned to country M, she thought hard about how she could help Pang Jindong, and the first thing she thought of was to carry out public opinion propaganda, so she managed to contact this show.

Only Renenez's huge influence and strong interpersonal relationships can allow the column team to insert in Pang Jindong's interview outside the established arrangement.

Pang Jindong knew the significance of appearing in the "high-end visit", so after repeatedly expressing his gratitude to Reneny, he immediately set off for country M and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to promote the Kokang Republican Army.

Although Renyette paved the road for Pang Jindong, what to do next depends entirely on Pang Jindong himself, and this road is not so easy to walk.

First of all, Pang Jindong must understand the psychology of Westerners and be able to accurately cater to them, so as to establish a positive image of the Kokang Republican Army in the minds of Westerners;

The second problem is that Renenez told Pang Jindong that Clara, the host of "High-end Interview Wèn", is a well-known poisonous tongue in the film and television industry of Country M.

For Clara, there are hardly any questions that cannot be asked, and the questions are often as subtle as possible, sometimes direct, and often impossible to answer directly;

Sometimes it is a roundabout attack, so that the interviewee unknowingly falls into her trap.

No matter who the interviewee is, she will not mind letting the other party not get off the stage.

For example, when interviewing the president of country M who made mistakes in the relationship between men and women, she talked about the zipper of men's pants, which made the poor president blush and have a thick neck in front of hundreds of millions of viewers.

But let's be honest, Clara doesn't make a splash with eccentricity and lewdness, and every question touches the essence of the problem.

It is precisely because of her style that in addition to "high-end interviews", almost no column dares to let her host.

Because Reneny's new film is about to be completed, after Pang Jindong arrived in country M, he just made a simple arrangement to help connect with the producers of ABC, and then flew to other places to continue to be busy.

It is conceivable that when the producer meets the interviewee, he must first communicate and understand under normal circumstances, so as to help create a tacit understanding between the two parties and prevent embarrassing scenes in the show.

The producer of "High-end Interview Wèn" is different, after meeting Pang Jindong, he only talked about the scenery, food and wine around the world, and did not mention anything about the show, and Clara herself did not see Pang Jindong at all.

Pang Jindong clearly understands that this method is to let the interviewee face the host without psychological preparation, and expose the truest thoughts and original self in his heart to the audience.

There are two sides to everything, and the program "High-end Interview with Wèn" is a double-edged sword, and Pang Jindong is now faintly worried that this program may have a bad negative impact on the Kokang Republican Army.

When the day of the show came, Pang Jindong came to the studio on time.

The producer first asked the makeup artist to dress up Pang Jindong carefully to make him more photogenic, and then asked the drama manager to install a miniature microphone on Pang Jindong, and then introduced Pang Jindong into the studio without saying a word.

Because the first impression is very important, Pang Jindong carefully thought about what kind of image he should appear.

If you wear a straight formal suit, it is not in line with your identity this time;

But if he wears a military uniform, Pang Jindong is worried that it will cause disgust;

Dressing too cheaply will make the audience look down on you;

Dressing too expensively will make the audience suspect the corruption of the Kokang Republican Army.

In the end, Pang Jindong decided to show the public in an ordinary casual suit, which not only did not make himself too outstanding, but also looked chic and generous.

The studio is a semi-circular room, decorated in blue and pink, which looks a little warm, not like the style of this column.

There are two rows of sofas facing each other in the studio, with the host sitting on one side and the interviewee sitting on the other.

Perhaps fearing that the interviewee would behave out of the ordinary in the face of Clara's poisonous tongue, a very large coffee table was placed between the two sofas.

On the straight side of the room were all kinds of camera and recording equipment, and behind these equipment were hundreds of spectators, all of whom were invited by the column team.

The host had already entered the venue, and when Pang Jindong sat down on the sofa, he saw the famous poisonous tongue clearly.

Clara is a standard Caucasian woman, of medium build, slightly chubby, shoulder-length blonde hair, and wears a royal blue career suit.

Although she is close to age, she is well maintained, and she looks like she is in her early thirties.

The corners of her mouth are slightly downturned, and the high tip of her nose makes a striking curvature, forming a somewhat frightening hooked nose, and in general it is a standard woman's appearance.

After the column officially started, several spotlights projected a strong beam of light, which made Pang Jindong feel very dazzling, and he almost didn't dare to turn his head sideways, so he could only look directly at Clara in front of him.

The light hit his face, and there was a burning feeling, and Pang Jindong couldn't help but sweat slightly.

Under such light, even the tiniest wrinkle on the face can be seen at a glance, and the inner activities and emotional changes can be clearly captured through the expression.

Clara has long been accustomed to such an environment, first said a few words to the camera, nothing more than what welcomes the audience to watch the new issue of "high-end interview wèn" and the like, and then immediately turned to Pang Jindong and asked straight to the point: "When I learned that the object of this interview was you, I was very confused for a while, that is, in what capacity did you appear here, the chairman of the Imperial Holding Group, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kokang Republican Army, the commander of a mercenary unit, or the secretary general of an association in country Z?"

Renenette told Pang Jindong in advance that she had confirmed with the column team that Pang Jindong would be on camera as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kokang Republican Army, because the purpose of this visit was to talk about the Kokang War.

Now, Clara suddenly brought up this matter on which there was already a consensus as a question, which made Pang Jindong a little difficult to answer, and he couldn't tell the other party that he wanted to promote the Kokang Republican Army.

Pang Jindong thought for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "If Ms. Clara wants to discuss any issues, then I will participate in the corresponding capacity, if it is an economic issue, then I am the chairman of the Imperial Holding Group; if it is an economic issue, then I am the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kokang Republican Army; if it is the policy of country Z towards overseas Chinese, then I am the secretary general of the Southeast Asian Chinese Association." ”

As soon as Pang Jindong's voice fell, Clara immediately answered: "I believe that at least for now, the audience is not interested in Mr. Pang's specific identity, but a hot issue in the current international community is the Kokang War, and Mr. Pang has an identity related to this." ”

"Since Ms. Clara is interested in this matter, I can answer any question in my capacity as Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Resolute Republican Army. When Pang Jindong spoke, he always kept a smile on his face.

Originally, Pang Jindong thought that the conversation would turn to the Kokang War, but he didn't expect that Clara's next question was related to the Imperial Holding Group: "I know that Mr. Pang owns a huge company, and this company rose almost overnight, can Mr. Pang reveal the reason for this rise?"

"You Westerners have a saying -- Rome was not built in a day, and we Chinese people have a saying -- freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the wisdom of the East and the West can find an intersection in some things. For example, for an enterprise, there is no real overnight rise, it is all after a long period of hard work and accumulation. Unfortunately, people tend to focus on the momentary success and ignore the long-term efforts that go into achieving it. ”

"Mr. Pang said it very well. Clara nodded, and suddenly asked, "But I've heard that your business has been involved in very serious corruption." ”

Clara's two questions show that she didn't do anything for this episode, but had an in-depth understanding of Pang Jindong.

Even, she dug out some news that was only circulated among citizens B in China, which shows that the energy of her and this column is really not small.

Of course, Pang Jindong couldn't admit this kind of accusation, so he asked rhetorically: "If you heard about it, it means that there is no sufficient and detailed evidence?"

Of course, Clara has no evidence, and she can't fabricate evidence, but she has another set of arguments: "Country Z is a country where corruption is very strict, and it is difficult for the Imperial Holding Group to develop based on Country Z. ”

"This is the opinion of you people in country M, in the eyes of us people in country Z, country M is still a country where guns are rampant, but my experience of living in country M for many years tells me that shootouts are not happening here every day. After a pause, Pang Jindong asked again: "May I ask how many shots Ms. Clara has encountered in her life?"

Pang Jindong's words were neither humble nor arrogant, but also a little humorous, and some people in the studio laughed softly.

Pang Jindong claimed to have lived in country M, and invisibly narrowed the distance between him and them.

In fact, the time that Pang Jindong has really lived in country M does not add up to a very long time.

"God forbid, I haven't been shot yet. In the face of Pang Jindong's counterattack, Clara did not show the slightest displeasure, and even showed a rare smile: "How long have you lived in country M?"

"It's been a couple of years. ”

"How did you get to Country M?"

"I immigrated with my parents, but my parents died in a car accident soon after, and I started to take on my own as a teenager. ”

"How?"

"My parents left a huge debt, and I don't have any financial resources, let alone a job that can pay off the debt in a short time...... Pang Jindong shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "So I became a mercenary." ”

Clara knew that Pang Jindong had been a mercenary, and she originally planned to say it next, but she was sure that it would make Pang Jindong a little embarrassed, but she didn't expect Pang Jindong to stop admitting himself.

She was very good at taking the initiative, and immediately followed Pang Jindong's words and asked: "What is a mercenary?"

"It's people who give us money, and we help them fight. As soon as Pang Jindong's voice fell, a low exclamation came from the studio.

Clara exclaimed and asked, "How can you start a war for money?"

"I'm sorry, to correct a point, we never start any war, and we don't have the ability to start a war, we just participate in it. Pang Jindong shrugged his shoulders: "Even without our participation, the war will still exist." ”

Clara spread her hands, her tone still exaggerated: "How can you say such an understatement, do you know how many people will die in war, and what kind of damage it will cause to human society?"

"Of course I know, to put it mildly, better than you do, because I have seen the cruelty of war with my own eyes. Many of my comrades-in-arms have died, and they have died in unimaginable tragies. Pang Jindong sighed: "I can tell you that the actual lethality of any kind of weapon is ...... greater than that depicted in the movie."

Clara smiled, "Tell me more." ”

"Even a bullet from an ordinary pistol can make a big hole in a person's body at the right distance! For example, when a cannonball hits, even if you dodge a direct explosion, the huge shock wave will make you feel as if someone is rubbing the internal organs hard! Do you know what napalm looks like when it explodes? It's the same as hell, as long as the ejected substance sticks to the body, it will attach to it and burn violently, whether you douse it with water or roll on the ground, you can't let it go out unless it burns out automatically. Burn wounds are difficult to heal and no medicine can stop the festering, and the resulting heart-rending pain causes the wounded to wail all night, often wishing to end their lives with a bullet......"

Pang Jindong said a lot, and the studio was silent for a while.

Clara was also stunned for a moment, before she sighed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Pang, for describing the cruelty of the war to us." ”

"Anyone who has experienced war first-hand does not want another war, including us mercenaries. ”

"In that case, you would even join the mercenaries for money?"

"Because mercenaries can make enough money that if I can't pay the debts left by my parents, I'll be sent by the mafia to work in underground factories. Do you know what kind of environment it is? The air is so filthy and filthy that it almost suffocates people! Every day is just non-stop work, there are no holidays and rest days, the time for eating is only 10 minutes, the time for sleeping is only 8 hours, and all the time has to be used for work! More importantly, you don't have any personal freedom, and you have to be monitored by others even when you go to the bathroom, and being beaten is even more commonplace!" Taking a deep breath, Pang Jindong said slowly: " For me, I'd rather be a mercenary and face the threat of death than struggle in an environment where I lose my freedom!"
