Chapter 77: No Template
"An American car?"
Remembering that Lin Yuanhang had made similar remarks before, Xiao Yang couldn't help but want to laugh. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, he also knows that Brian Newman's advice is very pertinent, and he is putting himself in his image, as an Asian, if you want to integrate into the mainstream of American society as soon as possible, you must make careful choices in terms of food, clothing, housing, etc., and for this country on wheels, to behave enough Americanization, buying a luxury RV or muscle sports car with a typical "American spirit" is undoubtedly one of the easiest and most effective ways to get around - think of American muscle cars in "Fast and Furious" and "Extreme Speed 60 Seconds" When you look at the frequency of appearances in Hollywood racing movies, you can know the status of sports cars with pure American blood in the minds of the people.
However, Xiao Yang is not going to take it - at least not fully on the part of Brian Newman.
It's not that American cars are generally too rough and don't meet his aesthetics and preferences, but he feels that his current lifestyle and social circle are still relatively simple, and there are not too many jobs, socials or vacation occasions to deal with, and he has always insisted on pragmatism in his previous life, and he has not yet fully accepted the change of mentality from a commoner to a rich man, and then there is a deep attachment to his motherland, hometown and former family and lover, so as to subconsciously "beautify everything" There is an indescribable resistance mentality.
Last but not least, he is who he sees himself.
With Brian Newman's thinking, he wants to refer to the usual routines of film and television drama stars to package and promote him, which has formed an assembly line operation in the entertainment economy, and the stars created are almost the same style of speaking and doing things except for their names and faces, for him who has no intention of developing in the entertainment industry, this is obviously not the effect he wants.
According to Xiao Yang's design, his image in the public mind should be a superhero who is brave and fearless, has high morals, and does not hesitate to defy the law in order to save the lives and property of others, not the kind of second-rate star who only sensationalizes and hypes up fame through scandals or scandals, let alone a crow's mouth spirit medium who relies on various disasters and bad news to be alarmist.
From this perspective, although he is interested in the purse bags of the wealthy who make up only 1% of the population, he relies on the foundation of prestige given by the other 99%, and he also believes that the public wants to see a real, self-made inspirational model rather than a perfect superstar, so as Brian Newman said, he will naturally learn what he should learn out of "business needs", but he does not want to package himself as flawless. I don't want to deliberately cater to the aesthetics of certain people or certain groups.
As the most authoritative and promising prophet of our time, there is no template for his development and future achievements, he can only be himself.
Of course, Brian Newman is right, with his current fame, prestige and net worth, he is not yet able to change the ubiquitous racist atmosphere in today's society, but this does not mean that he will unconditionally succumb to this, although in order to develop, he will have to learn how to adapt to the current environment, but at the same time he will do everything to change it, but considering the first acquaintance with each other, there is no need to talk to him about this long and arduous idea, it is better to leave it to the future to slowly run in.
After a full meal, Xiao Yang took the initiative to pay the bill and tip by card, and after shaking hands with Brian Newman and saying goodbye, Lin Yuanhang asked him: "What blank check did you promise to people?" ”
Xiao Yang raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Is this question asked as a lawyer or as an uncle?" ”
Lin Yuanhang snorted, "Nonsense, I'm your uncle." ”
Xiao Yang pursed his lips, "I promised to introduce Julia Roberts to him." ”
Lin Yuanhang rolled his eyes directly at him.
After a few words to send away his uncle, who was full of curiosity but could not be satisfied, Xiao Yang returned to his apartment and took a nap beautifully, until he was woken up by the ringtone of his mobile phone.
He thought that Brian's communication with the company's senior management would come to an end so quickly, but when he saw the number, he realized that he had guessed wrong, so he went to the bathroom to wash his face first, and only picked it up when the bell rang for the second time: "Hi, Anna." ”
Anna Meyer's sweet and crunchy voice came out of the earpiece, with a coquettish meaning, "Hey, what are you busy with?" ”
"Resting in the apartment, sorry I didn't hear the phone ring, I just went to the bathroom." Xiao Yang clipped his mobile phone to the side of his neck, took an orange from the fruit basket, and asked while peeling it, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”
Anna smiled on the other end of the phone, "It's still something I mentioned to you yesterday, no big star invited you to a banquet today, I don't know if you can enjoy a meal with me, a little reporter?" ”
Realizing the eagerness and eagerness in her tone, Xiao Yang thought about it and decided to hang her appetite again, "It's inconvenient today, how about tomorrow night?" ”
Anna hesitated for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "But tomorrow night there is the Golden Globe Awards, and I have a live interview mission......
"The Golden Globes are TN-T's exclusive live broadcast, and it seems that there is nothing to do with your CBS?" Xiao Yang joked with a smile: "Anyway, I can't enter the venue, and there is nothing to report on the same red carpet, and the final result has been revealed by me in advance, so why don't you watch the live broadcast while eating, and by the way, verify whether my prediction is accurate?" ”
Anna thought about it for a while, then asked tentatively, "If you promise to last my show in the near future, I have a reason to ask the editor-in-chief for leave." ”
Xiao Yang smiled, knowing that her purpose of inviting guests to dinner was not so simple, "Yes, but you should know that I am not on the show for free." ”
"Rest assured, the appearance fee will definitely meet your satisfaction!" Anna almost jumped for joy, "I'll call to book a place!" ”
The next day, on January 22, the Jackson case and Xiao Yang's accusation of the Los Angeles police and other events were still fermenting, but at this time, people's attention was already focused on the Golden Globe Awards dinner that will be held tonight.
In addition to the routine pre-lottery analysis and prediction, Xiao Yang's prediction of the final list of winners of this year's Golden Globe Awards has also become the focus of media and public attention, most of which have a positive attitude towards this, of course, it is not without doubts, such as a columnist of "World News Weekly" used serious and objective reasons to analyze the possibility of Xiao Yang's prediction failure, after all, factors such as the out-of-court settlement agreement and the list of winners of the Golden Globe Awards are more serious. It does not fall under the category of force majeure like earthquakes.
