Chapter 126: The Ellen Show (1)
As of the end of July 2006, preliminary box office statistics for the release of "Despicable Me" in 41 countries around the world have been obtained, with a total audience of about 300 million and a net box office value of nearly 270 million US dollars. This number will continue to grow with the successive releases www.biquge.info in some countries and regions and the passage of time (summer files) in some countries and regions. The popularity of the film on the Internet is also very hot, with continuous praise, and all the ancillary products under IS have also benefited from the value-added. In the past, it was only a popular Minion in Europe, America and East Asia, but now it has become a household name international star because of this film, and even some countries in the Middle East have also appeared in it. The total investment of the film, because the prototype of the character animation is already there, the script is also ready-made, and the publicity is also borne by the IS Group, saving most of the time-consuming, laborious and expensive investment. Therefore, with only an investment of 20 million, a legendary animated film that will make 10 times the profit will be created, which will be a deed that will be recorded in film history.
Xu Canhao's original goal of making this film has been achieved, and the response and income are much better than expected, and IS has naturally become the biggest beneficiary this time. There is also a video of the recent hit rate on the Internet, which is the happy MV of Xu Canhao and the Minions singing "" on the same stage (here the Minions' voice is replaced by the voice of a chipmunk). The bath dance and the ass dance similar to hot in the film have been popular, and many cover and imitation videos have appeared on the Internet, and even the two groups Technotronic and Hot have also been turned out, so that they are exposed to the global public and have raised a lot of awareness.
In mid-August, Xu Canhao's fourth series, "" was officially put on sale in North America. At the same time, Yinyuan provides paid download links on IS's music website, which has been downloaded more than 1.5 million times in just one day, and the physical sales have reached 1 million copies in one day.
"Shall I go up now?" Xu Canhao just finished changing his clothes, came out of the waiting room, and asked the staff around him.
"No, no, no, please wait a little longer, Alan's opening is not over yet. Wait a minute, she'll ask you to come on stage. The director wearing headphones grabbed Xu Canhao and asked him to wait behind the stage first.
"Today's first guest..."Allen didn't finish speaking, picked up Xu Canhao's fourth album from the sofa and showed it to the audience. You know, I love this guy to death! But he released my pigeons two years ago and turned down my invitation. "Alan. DeJanness, a pseudo-woman with a great sense of humor, always speaks words so boldly that they make people laugh. "Please take a break, the hero hasn't come on stage yet, please hold your throat and wait before screaming~" Allen's face was helpless, and his hands pressed down, so that the audience could listen to her continue. "I don't know exactly what this lad is up to, but I do know that since '03 he's been better off than George. Walker is still busy. So, I don't regret that I didn't get someone busier than the president. Alan said as he sat down on the couch, letting go of his body, and making a nonchalant look. He is the youngest Grammy winner. At the same time, he is also the youngest person to have more than 10 trophies in this award. When Alan said this, the music of "" sounded at the scene, followed by three Minions on stage to dance, among which the one-eyed yellow man also took Allen's hand and asked her to join her.
It was at this time that Xu Canhao came on stage, appeared from behind the door, participated in the dance, and took the initiative to stand at the front to lead the dance. As soon as he appeared, the audience began to scream and scream, until the dance was over, and Alan had no choice but to stop again.
"Shut up, you guys! I've been standing here for three years, why don't you send me this, damn eardrum-piercing cheer! Allen's feigned rage makes people laugh at the same time, but also makes people admire her humor and dedication.
Xu Canhao stepped forward with a smile and dragged Allen, who was unwilling and wanted to reason with the audience, back to the sofa half-pulled and half-dragged. Only then did Allen put down the play he was acting in and hugged Xu Canhao for a face-to-face salute.
"Thank you very much for coming today, I've been waiting for this opportunity for almost three years~" Allen's first sentence was to complain to Xu Canhao.
"Oh, you know the truth of the matter, not my own subjective will. So, you just gave a speech on stage, and I waited backstage until my legs went numb, is that punishment? Xu Canhao pushed back without showing weakness.
“...... I don't know who invited him today, maybe we should change the next guest. Alan turned around rudely and stopped paying attention to Xu Canhao.
"Does that mean I can go back?" Xu Canhao got up and asked. The audience in the audience stopped doing it and got up and shouted no.
"Hehe, please sit down. If you're gone, Ma Feili (the producer) will hug me and cry. Alan smiled and asked Xu Canhao to sit down, ending the short joke. You know a lot of people like them now, right? Alan pointed to the three Minions who were still selling cuteness on the side of the stage.
"Of course, they are my people. Everyone loves cute things, especially kids. Xu Canhao smiled and waved at the three minions.
"Are you kidding me? I like them too, but I don't feel like I'm young. Allen's words, combined with her subtle expressions, are always easy to make people laugh.
"Hehe, our people, we want to make them an image that people of all ages will fall in love with. As a fan, you don't need to care about your age, you just need to care if they can bring happiness to people. Xu Canhao said as he took away the cushion behind him and put it on the ground.
"Everybody knows you're a hard-working lad from... I can't believe you've just turned 13! Came to the U.S. alone, oh my God, a 13-year-old Ivy League student. I don't think I'll ever get back to that age, and I'll never be able to go to that prestigious school again. Alan took the information card, acting like he was learning about it for the first time. It is said that your guardian at that time was another director of the current IS, and the two of them visited New York on their first day in the United States. What did New York feel like for the first time? Alan asked.
"Uh, fashion? High? However, the biggest impression should be that it is like a melting pot of the world's peoples. I can see different faces, different living conditions, different lifestyles, and all kinds of people there, and it is as wonderful as the world is merging. Xu Canhao held his raised left leg knee with both hands and replied leisurely.
"Speaking of fashion, we found some photos of you at that time. When you were only a teenager, you showed an extraordinary way of dressing up, and it turned out that you were right, you were always ahead of others. Alan said, pointing to a set of photos on the screen behind him. Those are some photos of Xu Canhao when he first came to the United States and on the Yale campus, and most of them are funny things.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to find them, some of them I can't even remember." Xu Canhao looked at himself who was a little immature at that time and couldn't help laughing.
"What do you think of my outfit?" Allen got up and spun around so that Xu Canhao could see clearly.
"Well, if you can accurately position your style and highlight your temperament, I think it's fashionable. You don't have to pursue the current trend, you can wear old clothes in your own style, and it is also a very successful wear. I call you a neutral beauty, with a unique fashion that is not inferior to beautiful women and handsome men, and I think this will be very popular in the future. Xu Canhao looked at her seriously and said what he thought.
"You're not lying to me? I didn't think I'd catch up on the bandwagon so I could taunt Calvin once. Klein (a famous American fashion designer) let him see my definition of fashion. Alan was out of tune again, and people didn't know her at all.
"I think temperament is more important, it can bring back most of your poor dress. It will not make you like a chameleon, to adapt to the surrounding environment, change your own color, and lose your inherent style. Xu Canhao's words once again attracted Allen's favor, and she got up and hugged Xu Canhao again.
"Many people have compared you to that cute foolish man with a tearful charm, Forrest Gump? I don't know how you understand it. Alan swapped out a card, a comment from a blog forum, on the big screen behind him.
"I think the person who made the comment should also be my fan, who knows me well. Yes, I also like that film very much, love it! First of all, Tom. Hanks is also my favorite idol, he interprets the characters perfectly, and sometimes I want to be like him (Forrest Gump) myself. Also, my experience is somewhat similar to his, and I had very severe autism when I was a child..."
"What made you the way you are, so cheerful and successful?" Alan interjected.
"It's my parents. Well, I love them. Xu Canhao smiled and nodded at the camera. There were bursts of applause from the audience, and Alan was also applauding his sincere feelings and deeds of stepping out of the shadows. "I've been pushing myself to study with the spirit of him, sticking to what I love, like singing, dancing, and occasionally designing gadgets. This one. After Xu Canhao finished speaking, he took out a delicate silver brooch and gave it to Allen. The wings of the pigeon can be opened, and there is actually a USB flash drive inside, which you can look at. ”
After Alan took the gift, he couldn't wait to wear it on his chest. After listening to Xu Canhao's words, he immediately opened it according to the prompts and found that it was really as Xu Canhao said. "Thank you. Is this handmade? ”
"Yes, I did it myself, and it took half a day." Xu Canhao nodded and said.
"You really are a multi-talented genius! But you don't seem to agree with it, do you? Alan said after fiddling with the brooch.
"Hehe, I'm really not a genius. IQ121, which happens to be counted as a column of smart people, is evidenced by this. Xu Canhao smiled and took out the test card in his wallet, which he did at school at that time.
"Oh, you're such a thoughtful fellow that you even have this with you." Alan sighed as he reached for the card. After watching it myself, I held it up in front of the camera to show the audience. "Actually, anyone who knows you knows anything knows that you are a very hard-working, surprisingly hardworking lad. I heard that you once recorded eight songs in five days, and you couldn't sleep, which caused your throat to become distorted and inflamed, and you also got a bad cold because of it? Alan sat back in his seat and resumed the conversation.
"Yes, there was one time. Actually, it was four days and seven hours, and I recorded eight songs in different languages, and I took that as a test for myself, or an exam. Thank you so much to the friends and staff who have been there for me and helped me, thank you. As a superstar and a superstar, he still maintains a grateful heart and is as humble and polite as ever, which makes the audience applaud him again.
"You must know that you are now a very influential star in the world, and you have a net worth of tens of billions, so you can say that you can do anything without any scruples. But you don't, you still maintain your ordinary mentality, humble, polite, kind, I think this is the most commendable. Is it because of being Asian? ”
"This, undeniably, has a certain relationship. Many countries in Asia were influenced by the culture of ancient China, and their Confucianism flourished for a time, advocating benevolence, courtesy, and virtue, and telling us how to behave. And the most outstanding person, Confucius, I think many people should know him, he advocates being a gentleman. As for the gentleman, you can understand him as a gentleman as we say. Of course, this is not all he has, and the requirements and evaluations of gentlemen are even more stringent. I can't be the gentleman described by Sage Kong, but I can do the most basic and simple benevolence. After Xu Canhao finished speaking, he silently recited in his heart, I love my motherland.
"I wondered if I should find an Asian girlfriend." Allen's joke amused everyone. "Hehe, just a joke. When it comes to girlfriends, I think I'm not the only one who is curious, all fans who like you are the same, even those radical thinkers who want to see you out of your groove will feel the same way. Do you really not have a girlfriend right now and haven't been in a relationship? Allen's words made female fans and the audience scream again and again.
Xu Canhao smiled helplessly. "It's this kind of problem again, it's not easy to fool now~" he thought to himself. "I am too busy with work and study, and I don't have time. I don't want to be busy and unable to care for my girlfriend as much as a normal person. Also, sometimes popularity is also a distressing aspect, and I'm afraid it will hurt her. Moreover, I found that not being in love for a long time will make me numb in this regard, less sensitive to feelings, and it seems that I will not be able to love anymore. Xu Canhao told the truth, but another reason is that he has not completely gotten rid of his previous feelings, and he feels that it is irresponsible to interact with people with these.
"You're only 21 years old, how can you think like that!? As it happens, I also have a gift for you. "Alan prepares gifts for guests every issue, what will he take out of the bag next to the sofa this time?" "The Secret Book of Love", a very good reference book, I think this is Heiko. Mars was the crowning achievement of his life. Alan teased that it was casual, and she held up the secret book that you would know by hearing the name and showed it to the audience. Then, he turned around and gave it to Xu Canhao, who was holding his forehead and smiling bitterly.
"Thanks, I'll take a good look at it." Xu Canhao accepted this special gift with a helpless look, opened the cover casually, and found that there was also the author's autograph.
"Then we'll leave him a little time to learn the art of love, and we'll continue later." Allen didn't even forget to make fun of Xu Canhao when he was interspersing commercials.
