Chapter 104: North American Show 33

After the painting was finished, Jenna herself was not surprised and very satisfied. And so do others. Bush Jr. was even more full of admiration and praised for a while.

After that, Chen Feng just took a short break before starting to paint a second painting.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want them to feel that he was drawing too easily, Chen Feng wouldn't have to.

But even though Chen Feng had deliberately shown that he was struggling to paint, he still only spent more than two hours on a total of four paintings, and it took less than three hours to complete. That's not a bad speed. Even if you change to those professional painters, if you can complete a painting in an afternoon, it is fast enough. Of course, this is on the premise of ensuring the quality of the work.

However, Chen Feng's speed is so fast, but the quality of his works is not bad. This can be seen not only by Bush, a relatively expert in this point, but also by other people.

The paintings of the four members of their family are all good paintings at a glance, especially the hunting picture that Bush Jr. asked to draw, which depicts the forest, the sky, and the picture of Bush Jr. aiming a gun at the prey, which can be said to be lifelike, so that Bush Jr. likes it directly and does not let go, and the excitement is extraordinary, just like a child getting a beloved toy.

"It's a fantastic painting, the best of all the modern works I've seen so far. Long, I'm really satisfied with your work. At night, I'm going to sleep with this painting in my arms. Haha, long, I've really taken advantage of you this time. And my family, we don't know how to thank you anymore. ”

Bush Jr. said while dancing with his hands, but his eyes were still staring at this hunting picture, for fear of leaving his sight. It's like the painting is about to disappear.

"yes. This time, our family really took advantage of you. The value of these four paintings of yours is far greater than the farm that our family gave you. It's not even as good as the painting you gave to our house last time. Laura also looked at Chen Feng with an embarrassed expression.

Chen Feng smiled: "For you, these four paintings are more valuable. But for me it's really nothing. Because I can draw it at will, not to mention that the materials used for painting are all yours. ”

"You can't say that. Barbara shook her head and said, "The paintings you painted with your own hands are immeasurable in terms of artistry and market value, and some people have paid more than 10 million dollars to buy them before, and the more time passes, the more valuable our paintings will be." ”

Jenna chimed in and said, "Yes, if our family sells all these paintings, it will make a fortune." But. We will never sell, you can rest assured. ”

Barbara said angrily, "It's up to you to say this." ”

"Anyway, our family owes you a lot of favors this time. Long, you will always be a good friend of our family. This time, Bush Jr. finally shifted his gaze from the painting to Chen Feng, and said this with a very serious expression.

"I'm honored. Chen Feng also responded with a serious face, and then took the initiative to say, "I know that after giving you that painting last time, it has brought you a certain amount of public opinion pressure, so if we can this time, I don't think we need to disclose the painting I sent to you again." ”

Bush Jr. smiled helplessly and said, "We can't hide this." Because. We have to insure your paintings, and we have to ask for professional maintenance. This was the case with the previous painting. And as long as the news of insurance is not hidden. These media in the United States are pervasive. In fact, there are really not many secrets in the White House that can be hidden, especially this kind of thing that is no longer confidential. Inside the White House will soon be the word. ”

Chen Feng was a little speechless when he heard this, so he had to say: "Then I will find an opportunity to take the initiative to explain to the media, I insisted on giving you these paintings, so you had to accept them." ”

"It's for the best. Jenna was really polite, and said directly, "The painting you gave to our family last time, we all know that it is just a mutual gift between friends, but those unscrupulous media are too hateful, and they have been making fun of us and my father about it, saying that our family has taken advantage of you." also said that you suffered a loss or something, anyway, you are provoking the dissatisfaction of your fans with my dad. It would be great if you could take the initiative to explain and clarify this to the outside world. We also need you to speak up for my dad, his approval rating has been declining. ”

Jenner's words caught Chen Feng off guard, he has a good relationship with their family now, but it has not yet reached the point where Chen Feng can openly try to help George W. Bush, after all, Chen Feng is too aware of his current influence, especially in the United States. And he is not a politician, and he really doesn't want to get involved in these politics, especially in the United States, and even if he wants to participate, it is difficult to make it public. For example, it is obvious to the media that he supports Bush Jr.

Chen Feng could explain to the media just about his gift of paintings, but in other respects, Chen Feng would not be able to defend George W. Bush. For example, the number of people who oppose the war in the United States is certainly greater than the number of people who support the war, and if Chen Feng says that he supports the war launched by George W. Bush, this is going against the trend and going against the will of the people of the United States. What's more, he is a well-known philanthropist, if he makes statements in support of the war, it is tantamount to going against his charitable behavior, and Chen Feng will naturally not be stupid to do this kind of thing that does not outweigh the losses.

But now in front of their family, Chen Feng naturally didn't want to say something, so he pretended to be natural and said with a smile: "If I have the chance, I will explain it to the media." Your father, in my eyes, is a good president. ”

Chen Feng's evaluation is not a compliment, foreseeing the future, the overall effect of Bush Jr.'s eight-year presidency is still very good, there are two main points, to put it simply, one is that the domestic economy is doing relatively well, and the other is to actively crack down on terrorism and launch two foreign wars, the decision and responsibility of this point is not something that any president can bear, if it were not for some mistakes in decision-making in the later stages of the Iraqi war, which made the US military mired, his approval rating would not have declined so sharply, but even so, after he left office, many people even regarded him as the same as Washington in the history of the United Statesand Lincoln. This may seem a bit overblown. But it also fully shows that Bush Jr. has made some achievements during his term of office.

"Thank you. There is such an evaluation from you. I'm really happy. George W. Bush looked at Chen Feng with some emotion.

"I'm just being honest. There are a lot of criticisms from the outside world right now, but it's not your fault, you've done your best. The two wars you led were, in my opinion, at least righteous in nature. No one can deny that. Those who say that the war of Avice-Khan and the war of Irak are unjust are talking nonsense with their eyes open. ”

Chen Feng originally didn't want to say such a somewhat superficial remark, but he could feel that the Bush Jr. family really made friends with him, and now they regard him as a real friend. Therefore, Chen Feng also has to say what friends should say, especially words of encouragement.

Even though Bush Jr. has only been in office for more than a year, after he leaves office, his influence in the United States and even in the world is still huge~, not to mention, they are not a family, they are one of the top political families in the United States, and their energy is extraordinary.

Chen Feng had made some special friends before. That's why.

"Long, if only you said that to the media publicly. Barbara looked at Chen Feng with some hope.

Bush Jr. hurriedly said: "Aren't you embarrassing him? He is a well-known pacifist. If you openly support war, even if it is a just war, it is a little bad. After all, no matter what kind of war, people will die, and many people will die. ”

George W. Bush's remarks were also from the bottom of his heart, not from polite remarks, and Chen Feng could hear them. He immediately laughed and said, "I am a pacifist in principle, but I also know that sometimes in order to achieve peace, it is necessary to use war. In the past, whether it was the Taliban regime of Avicekha Khan or the stupid Damu regime of Yilaq, they were both extreme regimes, brutally ruling at home, and even carrying out massacres against civilians, and these two regimes were naturally recognized as unjust regimes, and no one could say that the United States had done wrong by sending troops to eliminate these two unpopular regimes. At this point, even if I am asked by the media, I can answer it this way. The original intention of the two wars launched by the United States was just and there was nothing wrong with it. ”

Jenna immediately clapped her hands happily and said, "That's good." If you could say that to the media, my dad's approval rating would have risen again. ”

"You said you were going to be on a TV show last time, have you decided now, what show are you going to attend?" asked Barbara with some concern.

Chen Feng didn't hide it, and replied directly: "If there is no accident, I will go to participate in "The Ellen Show". It's a good talk show. ”

"The Ellen Show?" Barbara said as she looked at Chen Feng with some surprise, "I thought you were going to 'Oprah Show' or 'The Late Show of David Letterman's Late Show', or 'Saturday Night Live'." ”

Jenna was also a little surprised and said: "Yes, you are actually going to participate in "The Ellen Show", which really surprised me." ”

Chen Feng smiled: "I just think the host of this show is not bad, and the style is relatively peaceful, not aggressive, somewhat similar to Oprah." However, I was already on the Oprah show last time, and I don't think it's interesting to be on this show again this time. ”

"That's right, your last Oprah show was a classic, and the videos on the Internet still have a high click-through rate. "However, if you really want to talk about it, the current 'Ellen Show' is really a little unworthy of your fame, and the main audience of this daytime show is housewives and some unemployed people at home." The ratings aren't low, but they're not that high. ”

Obviously, the current "Ellen Show" Barbara is a little unsightly.

Laura said a fair word for "The Ellen Show" at this time: "I also think that Allen, the host, is still relatively good, and his style is indeed very peaceful, which will not embarrass those guests." I also watch it a lot when I'm fine at home. I like this show more. ”

Jenna also said: "I also watch it occasionally, and overall, this show is relatively good, and everyone's evaluation of this show is still okay." ”

Barbara pouted slightly: "If Long is on this show, this show looks like it's going to be popular right away." Anyway, I think Long is a bit of a loss. ”

Chen Feng shook his head slightly and said, "It's not a loss." After all, I'm also on TV shows, so it's better to pick one that is easy to contact and work with, and I myself admire Allen as a person. Plus I like the style of this show, so I chose it. ”

"And when are you going to record this show?" asked Barbara again.

"If it's time, tomorrow. Chen Feng said casually.

"Have you made an agreement with the program team?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "I haven't contacted it yet." They're in Los Angeles anyway, and I'm going to get back in touch with them tonight. ”

Barbara said with a wry smile, "That's you." If you change to someone else, even if you contact the program team a week in advance, you may not be able to get on TV so soon. No matter what you say, the Allen Show has a certain rating, and there are many stars waiting to be on this show. ”

Of course, Chen Feng also knows that it is a bit special for him to be on the show tomorrow by announcing today, but who made him an absolute big name. Sometimes when the big name should be special, he will not pretend to be modest and humble.

Chen Feng smiled: "You also said it, it's me." I came to the United States this time as a guest, and the other guests naturally wanted to make me a guest. ”

When everyone heard what I said, they couldn't help but laugh together.

Jenna said with some anticipation: "You must be very exciting on the Allen show, the best is the live broadcast, you can see it tomorrow." I think you should contact the program team of the Ellen Show now, otherwise they may not have time to prepare. Then you may be too late to be on their show tomorrow. ”

Chen Feng thought for a while, nodded and said, "You're right, if you don't mind, I'll call my agent right now and ask her to contact the program team." ”

Naturally, everyone wouldn't mind, Chen Feng took out his mobile phone and walked aside to call his cousin Zhao Xiaoyu, and told him about the matter, which inevitably made Zhao Xiaoyu complain, at this time it was already early in the morning, and Zhengxiang, who was sleeping, was woken up by Chen Feng's phone, naturally she didn't have a good temper, Chen Feng forgot about the jet lag just now, and could only apologize again and again. What's more, Chen Feng really should have informed her of this kind of thing earlier. This was in a hurry, causing some inconvenience to both sides.

Fortunately, after Zhao Xiaoyu complained for a while, he dutifully agreed, and said that he would help contact him immediately.

After hanging up the phone, everyone didn't stay in the studio longer, and the Bush family was more considerate to let Chen Feng go back to the room to rest, after all, he had painted several paintings before, and he must have been quite tired.

Chen Feng is actually not tired, but they all said so, Chen Feng did not deny it, in fact, he didn't want to continue to delve into some more sensitive~ topics with their family. (To be continued......)
