Chapter 48: The First Night (Part II)
In the studio hall, the audience was already full, and as a beautiful melody sounded, Ellen DeGeneres walked out wearing a blue shirt.
This woman with short blond hair is currently one of the hottest talk show hosts in the United States, and is favored for her relaxed and witty hosting style. As a well-known closetman, she always dresses neutrally.
As soon as she appeared, the applause and cheers of the audience continued, and after several gentle gestures, the audience gradually fell silent.
"Ok, welcome to the Ellen Show."
Alan stood in front of the stage and spoke fluently, "We have invited many celebrities on this stage, including celebrities, dignitaries and hot news figures. But today will be the first time a superhero will appear here. ”
"He's been in the spotlight lately across the United States, and he's full of mysteries and controversies, so let's welcome - Li Mo!"
The applause, cheers, and whistles in the audience kept ringing out, not because they liked Li Mo much, but because everyone came to them like this, and they were indeed a little curious about this person.
Li Mo walked out of the backstage, waved at the audience, and then shook hands with Alan and sat on the sofa.
"First of all, welcome Li Mo's arrival, and then tell everyone a message, I wanted to discuss the script with him before, but he refused, so everything is the most realistic presentation." Alan's words erupted in applause.
"Lee, can you tell me why you suddenly decided to accept our invitation?" Alan turned to Li Mo and asked.
"During this time, the media has always been biting me, and all kinds of bizarre speculations are getting more and more outrageous! Okay, I'm here, you'll lose interest when you see the real me, and I'll be able to relax. Li Mo replied helplessly.
"I invited you about a month ago, and of course, it was different then, but you were very ruthless in refusing at the time." Allen's words aroused the curiosity of the audience.
"Is there one?" Li Mo scratched his head.
"We've got proof!" Alan said something meaningful, and then the staff played an audio:
"To hell with that female Lala, I love Conan!"
A hysterical roar elicited laughter from the audience.
Li Mo was a little embarrassed, and he finally remembered that this was what he said when he was invited at the beginning of his short Internet celebrity career.
"Lee, do you have a bad opinion of homosexuality?" Allen's voice was a little serious.
"No, not at all!" Li Mo immediately said negatively: "I respect anyone's thoughts and wishes, love is a wonderful thing, and someone can also have love for an inflatable doll, so I don't feel inappropriate at all." ”
"Okay, but I'm still skeptical of your taste, you actually like that guy Conan!" Alan frowned funny, "Although I watch it a lot, Conan, don't be complacent!" ”
The audience laughed and applauded, and Li Mo shrugged his shoulders, he didn't think it was funny at all.
When Alan saw Li Mo's appearance, he immediately knew in his heart that he hadn't found the humor of this guest, and then began to ask substantive questions.
"Lee, what everyone actually wants to know is, how do you feel about being a superhero?"
Li Mo's expression suddenly became serious, "First of all, I'm not a superhero!" Just an ordinary person who has been empowered. ”
"I think that after a person gets the power to transcend the current rules, his inner self will slowly be revealed, some people will continue to pursue light and justice to become a hero, and some people will pursue their own desires to become the mastermind behind the scenes. And I don't have any substantive pursuits, if anything, it's to do what I want and live happily. ”
"So, you mean you're not going to save people?" Alan asked.
"It depends, you can do it if you want to, and don't do it if you don't want to. I'm not going to change anyone's idea. ”
Speaking of this, Li Mo frowned and couldn't help complaining: "There are always some people who want to impose their ideas on others, you need to do this, you need to do that." I just want to say, f**k you! Maybe some people pin their ideals on me, but I'm sorry, I'm not what you think, go back and read the comics, there's always what you want! Even if I help others, it's because I want to do it, not to be a superhero as you call it. ”
"You think I should be a moral model? Can't give the middle finger and spit? OK, look, one middle finger, two middle fingers..."Li Mo compared his middle finger fiercely to the camera.
"Li, there are many children watching this show, and we will blur the middle finger." Alan said helplessly.
"That looks more obscene." Li Mo said meaningfully, "It's like some kind of thing for a man." ”
"I see, but I decided to do the blurring, which will increase the ratings!" ”
Li Mo gave Allen a thumbs up.
"Tell me about your nickname, greatest master, does it mean anything special? Do you have a hero uniform? Alan continued.
“OK。” Li Mo touched his nose and said, "After suddenly gaining strength, I will always do something boring." I don't want to be called a tentacle man, a tentacle captain, so I gave myself the name of a master, and now I think about it a little silly, whatever I want to call it, I'm just Li Mo. ”
"As for the uniforms? I'm the size of me and I can go to Saturday Night Live with that stuff on. Li Mo said self-deprecatingly.
The audience laughed and applauded, they loved the kind of candid words.
The chat continued, Li Mo said his thoughts, and shared some interesting things, and at the end of the show, he said to the camera: "Okay, you can also see, I am such a person." I'm not going to be what you want to be, I'm just going to be who I want to be. ”
"Because it's my life!"
Alan applauded, and she felt the same way, just as she had resolutely admitted to being gay in those conservative days.
Even after being silent for a while and losing a lot of opportunities, she often exhorts people to be their true selves.
"Alright, now it's the final link." Alan stood up and said, "We will randomly connect three audience callers, they can ask Li Mo for the answer to their problem, let's connect the first one." ”
"Hello Alan, I'm Ruby from Mississippi, I want to ask Li Mo, I have found out that my boyfriend has cheated on me three times, but I love him and I am really reluctant to leave him, what should I do?"
Li Mo scratched his head, why is it the most difficult question in the first place, he couldn't think of it after thinking about it for a long time, and said helplessly: "I'm sorry Ruby, love is the most blind, I said that you can't listen to any persuasion if you let you leave him, simply, cut it off little dingding?" ”
The phone was hung up with a snap, and Li Mo shrugged helplessly at Allen.
Second call.
"I'm Lawrence from Texas, and I'm constantly bullied at school, can you come and save me?"
"I'm sorry, I won't." Li Mo replied directly.
"Why?" Lawrence was a little angry, "You obviously have this ability. ”
"Because I'm lazy, that place is too far away from me!"
Li Mo shook his head, "Hey, buddy, never pin your hopes on others, you'll only be weak for the rest of your life." If you don't understand, just pretend to be cowardly! ”
The third call.
"Hello, Li Mo, I'm Bob from New Jersey, I'm fat and ugly, and I'm always ridiculed by others, so I have social phobia. What am I going to do? I felt like my existence was a mistake. ”
Li Mo touched his nose, "Hey, Bob buddy, I won't pour you any chicken soup for the soul, I'm sure you've seen a lot of that stuff." ”
"Everyone has their own flaws, you first have to learn to be honest with yourself, Lao Tzu is fat and ugly? Then give a hard middle finger up at anyone who dares to laugh at you, and scold f**k you! ”
"If you don't even dare to admit your words, who else will admit you?"
After the program was over, Li Mo and Allen exchanged phone calls and left the CBS Building.
George drove Li Mo out of the street slowly, "Boss, are you going back to Stark Tower?" ”
Li Mo lit a cigarette and looked at the raindrops that kept falling outside the car window, "No, let's go home!" ”
