Chapter 507: Oprah's Talk Show (I)
Before the show officially started recording, Xu Guanwu was fortunate to meet the young version of Oprah, and his first impression was that this woman was so ugly, black and chubby, and her lips were too thick, her face was too big, and her eyes were small, and she really didn't look charming at all.
But the strange thing is that it is such a woman who is not good-looking, but she has conquered the hearts of the audience in the United States and even the world, and her program has a rating of more than 200 million, and she is the most influential figure in the American media industry. Julie and Madonna are both awesome.
Of course, the current Oprah is just a little famous in Los Angeles, and it is still far from the well-known talk show hosts of big TV stations such as NBC, CBS, ABS, etc. So when she saw Xu Guanwu, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide in surprise, "Oh my God! Are you Stanley? Allow? Oprah asked, wide-eyed.
Xu Guanwu nodded, "You are Oprah. Miss Winfrey, it's an honor to meet you today. ”
"Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie." Oprah looked so excited that she almost wanted to jump.
She is now just a talk show host on a local TV station in Los Angeles, and she can still be somewhat famous in the city, but almost no one knows her outside of Los Angeles. But Xu Guanwu is a well-known investor in Hollywood, with a net worth of more than one billion and countless blockbuster movies, and is the hottest celebrity in Hollywood today. Compared to him, Oprah was like a little grass under a big tree.
"Today I'm here to bring my artists to your show, and their English is not very good, so I hope you can take care of them more." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
"No problem. No problem. Mr. Lei Shidong also reminded me before. We also prepared for this episode in advance. Oprah said with a smile, and then sent a document to Xu Guanwu, "This is a summary of our visit today, do you see if there is anything else that needs to be added?" ”
Xu Guanwu took the document in surprise, and then read it carefully, and couldn't help but be very surprised in his heart. Unexpectedly, Lei Shidong had made so many preparations in advance, and the synopsis of this visit was really well written. has not only the growth experience of Cheng Long, but also their mental journey to become stars. And there is a large section of talent show in the middle, and it can be seen that the program team has made a lot of preparations.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but nod after reading it, feeling that this summary was really very attentive. Later, Xu Guanwu supplemented the summary of the visit, adding the fact that several brothers and sisters learned martial arts in the opera troupe when they were young. Since childhood, he was sent by his parents to learn martial arts because of mischievousness, although he learned an excellent skill, but he also suffered a lot in it. Inspirational life experiences like this are very resonant with people, no matter what country they are placed in.
Oprah then saw this paragraph added by Xu Guanwu, and couldn't help but be moved to tears. "I've seen the films starring them and I'm amazed at their kung fu. But I didn't expect the experience of learning art to be so hard, it was so touching. ”
Xu Guanwu saw Oprah in tears when he saw it on the side. I can't help but admire the five-body throw. An experience like the one he wrote about was just a brief narrative, not very moving. But Oprah was able to be moved like this, which is really a very remarkable thing.
As a host, if you want to move the audience, you must first be moved. Otherwise, if this story can't even move itself, how can it move the audience? And Oprah is so emotional, a short flat and straightforward description can also make her burst into tears, no wonder she will become the queen of the American media industry.
Later, Hong Jingbao and others also read the synopsis, and many words they didn't understand also consulted Xu Guanwu in advance, and finally stumbled to read the synopsis.
In fact, people like Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, Yuan Biao and others have also done interviews on TVB before, but that kind of interview is still very immature and unprofessional compared to the "Oprah Talk Show" they participated in this time. This time I saw what a real interview would look like, and it was an eye-opener for them. I can't imagine that in addition to talking about my new movie, there are so many things to talk about on the show, which is really unexpected.
……
After some coordination in advance, it was confirmed that there were no major problems with the visit, and the recording of the program officially began.
The stage of "Oprah Talk Show" is still a little shabby compared to the stage of talk shows on three major public television networks such as NBC. Like Larry. In Kim's talk show, the stage is 270 degrees facing the audience, and the lighting and stage art are all taken care of by special personnel to ensure that the show effect is the best.
Oprah's talk show stage is still 180 degrees facing the audience, and there are about 100 people sitting in the audience, with enthusiastic audiences and TV station employees, which makes people look full at a glance and seem to be very popular.
Xu Guanwu also sat down as an audience, and saw a dry ice mist erupt from each side, and then Oprah smiled and walked onto the stage amid the melodious music.
"Woohoo!" Someone in the audience immediately took the lead in applauding, causing the rest of the audience to cheer along with them.
"Welcome to Oprah's talk show, I'm your friend, Oprah. Winfrey. How are you doing today? If you encounter any happy or unhappy things, you can write or call me and I will listen to your story here. Oprah said with a smile as he faced the camera.
Her voice is full of sincerity, which makes people feel comfortable listening to her, and unconsciously relaxes their minds, and sees her as if they are their close friends.
Xu Guanwu kept nodding in the audience, no wonder Oprah can stand out in the talk show world where men are respected, her voice really plays a very key role, and her eyes, her expressions, and her movements ...... are also flawless, so I don't know how many times I have rehearsed in private.
"I saw a movie two days ago, and it was very good." Oprah. Winfrey said with a smile, "It's a well-known Hollywood film investor, Stanley. Xu's "A Plan". Recently, advertisements for this film also began to appear in newspapers, magazines, radio. TV stations and so on. I'm sure you've seen it too. Today we are honored to have four leading actors. Let's talk about the experience of making this film. Please Sanmao, Jie Ji, Yuan Biao and David. ”
In a burst of warm applause, Hong Jingbao and the four walked onto the stage with a slightly restrained smile.
"Welcome, welcome! Wow, they're all very athletic guys, they're so cute. Oprah stepped forward and shook hands with the four of them one by one. Please sit down, please sit down, let's sit down and talk. ”
"Thank you." Hong Jingbao led the brothers and all sat down.
"Shall we introduce ourselves? Oprah said with a smile.
"Hello everyone, I'm Sanmao Hong Jingbao and I'm from Hong Kong. I'm glad to be able to meet you on the Oprah Talk Show this time. Hong Jingbao stood up, faced the camera and bowed to the audience.
"Very polite boy." Oprah smiled beside her and said, "Jay has accumulated you." ”
Cheng Long also stood up, "Hello everyone, I'm Jie Ji Cheng Long, and I'm also from Hong Kong. It was a pleasure to meet an audience in the United States. Xie Lu Xie. ”
"Well, Yuan Biao has come to you." Oprah said with a smile again.
Yuan Biao stood up a little stiffly. bowed to the audience, "Hello everyone, I'm Yuan Biao, from Hong Kong, Xie Lu, thank you for watching this episode." ”
"Uh, you said the closing remarks of our show." Oprah said with a smile, "Looks like this is the end of our show for today." ”
Hearing Yuan Biao say, "Xie Lu Xie watch the show", and hearing Oprah's ridicule, the audience all laughed. Yuan Biao realized that he had said the wrong thing, and couldn't help but blush and bow his head like a child who had done something wrong.
"Next up is David, are you also from Hong Kong?" Oprah asked with a smile.
Di Wei stood up nervously, "Yes, I am also from Hong Kong, my name is Di Wei." Looking at his serious appearance, it was not as if he was being interviewed, but as if he was answering the chief's question.
"Rest, soldier!" Oprah couldn't help but shout, causing the audience to burst into laughter again.
"Through the self-introduction of our guests, you must have seen that the four of them are very polite boys." Oprah said with a smile, "But their shadow on the screen is very different from their current image." Now let's watch a video first. ”
After Oprah finished speaking, a video began to play on the video wall behind her, which was the clip of Hong Jingbao and Di Wei at the end of the film. This martial arts scene is really exciting, Di Wei alone fought Hong Jingbao and the three of them, but he did not fall behind at all. All kinds of wonderful moves, all kinds of crawling and rolling, all kinds of murderous and vicious...... The audience couldn't help but be excited.
The action scenes of Hong Kong action movies have always been very secure, even the action scenes of those bad movies are very good, because Hong Kong has a group of well-established martial arts instructors, and there are also experienced action directors who are responsible for shooting the action scenes of the movie.
Unlike European and American films, which pursue special effects, stunts, and the style of big guys hitting each other, Hong Kong films are best at overcoming rigidity with softness, and winning with agility and flexibility. is like the kind of strong man who is invincible in American movies, who is generally majestic in the front, but then is beaten by the protagonist.
Because of the huge investment in the drama "A Plan and Planning", and it is related to whether it can successfully enter Hollywood, not only Xu Guanwu attaches great importance to it, but also Hong Jingbao's brothers attach even more importance to it. Action scenes like the one are the selling point of the film, so it's even more important to get a lot of attention.
All the action scenes are carefully choreographed to ensure that the audience is satisfied. Now seeing the surprised and stunned looks of these old beauties in the audience, Hong Jingbao and the other four people feel that this year's hardships have not been in vain.
The one-minute video was played quickly, but there was a lot of unfinished business.
"Wow!" Oprah couldn't help but exclaim, "Seeing those sharp fists and kicks in the movie, and then looking at the very polite boys sitting now, does it give people a very stunned feeling?" ”
"I want to ask, is the person on the screen the real you, or are you actually so polite in private?" Oprah couldn't help but ask, confused.
"In fact, the characters on the screen are just images that we have created with our hearts, and I myself am actually quite gentle in private." Hong Jingbao said with a smile.
"That can tell that your acting skills are really good, to be honest, I regret sitting so close to you when I see you swinging your fist on the screen." Oprah said with a smile.
Hong Jingbao couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment when he heard it.
"You can see from the video that your fists and kicks are really good, I remember watching Bruce before. Lee's "Enter the Dragon", his kung fu is also quite wonderful. I would like to ask who is higher in your kung fu? Oprah asked curiously.
Bruce. Lee is Bruce Lee, and his starring role in "Enter the Dragon" has created a very high momentum in the United States, and many Americans have their first contact with kung fu movies through Mr. Bruce Lee's film. (To be continued......)
