While everyone was paying close attention to the follow-up of Chen's shooting, Chen Xueqian gave an exclusive interview to The New York Times at his company. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Chen, were you injured in the previous attack?" Sitting across from Chen Xueqian was a blonde, blue-eyed white woman. After sitting down, she didn't rush to start the interview, but first cared about Chen Xueqian's situation.

"Thank you for your concern, fortunately, my bodyguard reacted in time, I just had a false alarm and was not injured!" Chen Xueqian replied very calmly.

"It's really God forbid, oh I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." The reporter seemed to be a believer, but after talking about God, she remembered that Chen Xueqian was making a feud with Catholicism, and saying this might cause the other party to be unhappy.

However, Chen Xueqian didn't react to this, just waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, I have always agreed with freedom of belief." ”

"So Chen, do you have faith?" As if he had been prepared, the reporter immediately asked again.

However, for this question, Chen Xueqian shrugged his shoulders and did not answer. Once after the filming of "Focus" was completed, a reporter asked Chen Xueqian this question, but the reporter asked this question at this time, but it was not bad and kind.

Seeing that Chen Xueqian didn't answer, but just looked at herself with deep meaning, the smile on the reporter's face couldn't help but freeze, but she didn't flinch because of this, and quickly asked again.

"So Chen, I think you should have received the news, the person who attacked you is a devout believer, what do you think about this?"

In response to this question, Chen Xueqian thought for a moment and replied: "This kind of behavior is very irrational, but I don't think this attack has anything directly related to the church. ”

"Chen, do you mean you don't care about this matter?" The reporter couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"No, I'm just saying I don't think this matter has anything to do with the church. There is no conspiracy. ”

Regarding Chen Xueqian's drip-tight answer, the reporter couldn't help but be a little disappointed. From her standpoint, she certainly hopes that this incident will make as big a fuss as possible. It's just that Chen Xueqian didn't give her any room to play.

For this reason, the reporter had to change the interview method and say: "Chen, we have received information that the reason why this believer who attacked you did this is because he was dissatisfied with Chen's previous film and thought that your movie was blasphemous. Is there anything you would like to say about that? ”

"First of all, I respect any kind of faith, and I have no intention of offending anyone, and as for me to blasphemy, I think this believer's thoughts are too extreme. No normal person should understand it that way. ”

"Is that so? But your previous films are really bad for Catholicism. The reporter couldn't help but want to mislead Chen Xueqian again.

It's just that Chen Xueqian naturally saw her tricks clearly.

"I think there may be something wrong with your thoughts, this journalist friend." Chen Xueqian unceremoniously interrupted the other party's frame.

"What?" When the other party saw Chen Xueqian interrupting him, he immediately began to pretend to be stupid.

However, Chen Xueqian doesn't care about this, "First of all, my movies are all based on facts, and there is no act of framing the church. Second, I don't think Catholicism is the same as God. I think that if a person is religious, then she should believe in God's teachings, God's revelation. And not some kind of religious ritual. Only by following the teachings of the gods and regulating one's words and deeds can one be truly pious. ”

"I'm sorry, Chen, what did you just say?" At this time, the reporter sitting opposite Chen Xueqian couldn't help but ask in amazement.

This time, it's not that the reporter is lying again, but Chen Xueqian's words are indeed a bit subversive.

The reason why Chen Xueqian's remarks are very subversive is to start with the thinking habits of Americans. In fact, in this world, many civilizations are very dogmatic in their thinking, and the flexibility and harmony of the Chinese are different, Americans think very seriously, it is difficult for them to accept an ambiguous answer, for right and wrong, they must distinguish clearly.

Chen Xueqian just proposed that Catholicism is not equal to God, and believing in God does not necessarily mean believing in Catholicism, and this idea is simply a pagan idea in the Western world.

Therefore, Catholicism, which has always been above the world through religion, will never allow such a trend of thought to emerge. In the eyes of Catholicism, this kind of thinking is simply a great rebellion.

Chen Xueqian actually knew this very well, but he still said it, because he was really annoyed with those fanatical believers this time. If it wasn't for the timely response of the security yesterday, Chen Xueqian really doesn't know what would have happened to him.

For this great terror, which was so close to death, he felt that he had to deal with the threat once and for all. For this reason, he made a decision after a night of deep thought.

And his interview this time is to pave the way for his decision.

At this time, he looked at the reporter in front of him and continued: "I don't think that a truly devout believer would do such a contrary act against God's teachings. I think that such believers are not actually religious, but ignorant, crazy and dangerous. ”

When the reporter heard Chen Xueqian's words, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

However, out of the instinct of a reporter, she still couldn't help but habitually set a small trap for Chen Xueqian again.

"Chen, you mean that devout believers are ignorant?"

This time, Chen Xueqian couldn't help frowning and said, "I think you've been trying to distort what I mean. I don't think there's any need to continue with your interviews, and I'm going to explain to everyone in my new film what a truly devout faith looks like! ”

After saying this, Chen Xueqian pressed the phone on the table, asked the secretary to come in, and sent the other party away.

When the reporter was full of reluctance to leave, another person walked in from the back of the office.

"Boss, I've already shot the video. When will it be released? The person who had been hiding in the lounge behind the office was none other than Chen Xueqian's personal assistant, Kim Eun-ki. Listening to her words, it seems that the conversation just now was recorded by her.

In this regard, Chen Xueqian said: "After the New York Times published the interview, the reporter's interview method has always been criticized, but most of the interviewees did not care about her when they looked at the face of the New York Times. If this time she continues to do the same thing and distort my interview. Then we can take advantage of the trend to put this video out in the hope of attracting the most attention. ”

"Okay boss, I got it."

The development did not come as a surprise to Mr. Chen, and the day after his interview, the New York Times published a highly controversially worded report.

"Chen Xueqian publicly accuses that piety is ignorance!"

In this report, the female reporter named Catherine deliberately cut down many of Chen Xueqian's statements to achieve the purpose of creating controversy.

In fact, as soon as this report was published, it immediately caused an uproar in society.

You must know that Chen Xueqian has just been attacked by a fanatical believer, and it is very likely that Chen Xueqian said such things at this time, in the minds of many people.

But it is foolish to openly slander the faithful, and this is already a very serious blasphemy. And belief in this kind of thing, the more devout believers are, the more they cannot be slandered, so as soon as this report came out, the backlash triggered can be imagined.

And all sectors of society are also paying close attention to the development of this matter for a while, including the Catholic Church, which is in an extremely awkward position. If Chen Xueqian cannot come up with a proper solution, then the Catholic Church must respond.

In view of the fierce reaction of believers, many media have speculated whether Chen Xueqian will come out and apologize, or whether he will deny the authenticity of the interview.

If Chen Xueqian chooses the former, it will certainly damage his reputation, and perhaps the Catholic Church will choose to reconcile in view of his attack by believers. But he will undoubtedly lose some of the popular support.

And if he chooses the latter, then he will be equivalent to the New York Times, according to the consistent principles of American law, it is generally difficult to win a lawsuit against the media.

However, Chen Xueqian's reaction was beyond everyone's speculation, and he directly uploaded a video on his company's official website, and the content of the video was the whole process of his interview.

The New York Times was dumbfounded.

For a while, the entire public opinion turned again, and those who criticized Chen Xueqian before suddenly began to change their tunes.

All those who watched this video know that Chen Xueqian did not have the slightest intention of slandering Catholicism and believers in the interview, although some of his remarks were inappropriate, but they were also deliberately guided by the reporter.

At this moment, the New York Times, a newspaper with a huge circulation, was suddenly pushed to the forefront. To everyone's surprise, however, Chen Xueqian did not file a lawsuit against The New York Times.

Even Chen Xueqian left the United States and flew to Paris. (To be continued.) )
