113: The First Crazy Drama to Conquer America!
After setting foot on American soil, Wang Huan's first feeling was: ignorance!
He was completely ignored.
In China, he is a super celebrity and a national hero.
But in the United States, no one knew him.
Of course, his fame is still great, because he has too many names on his head.
Domestic violence men, sending their wives to prison with their own hands, super doping users, burlesque actors, etc.
But it's only his name, not his face, that is famous.
When foreign media publish his photos, they usually capture a hideous moment.
And the moment of the Olympic Games, it is basically a fierce and hideous expression.
So when Wang Huan appeared in front of the Americans with a peaceful face, no one knew him.
In China, as long as he shows his true colors, countless people will come to ask for a group photo and ask him for an autograph, and countless people will scream.
But here.
Completely ignorant.
People don't even know you.
When passing through customs, the staff thought about his name for a while, and then knocked a stamp.
..................
After leaving customs.
Wang Huan instantly felt the long-lost enthusiasm frenzy.
Hundreds of people outside greeted him, waving flags and holding signs with his name on them.
"Boss Wang Huan, welcome to the United States. ”
"Wang Huan Country, American Branch, welcome to Your Majesty. ”
Of course, this is only part of the story.
There are other parts of the brand, which are very uncomfortable.
"Ugly pots, ugly kingdoms, ugly devils. ”
"Joker, go back to your country and don't come to defile America. ”
"You're going to be damned!"
And the signs are all Chinese faces, because this place is the base camp of the West against China.
This group of people hates China even more than the Americans.
The crowd that came to greet Wang Huan was also overseas Chinese. In their hearts, Wang Huan is a hero, especially the miracle created by Wang Huan in the Olympic Games, which is also a huge encouragement to them.
"Mr. Wang Huan, I am Li Changsheng, president of the New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and I welcome you to New York. A middle-aged man stepped forward to shake hands with Wang Huan.
Wang Huan stepped forward to shake hands with him.
"Please get in the car, we have prepared a reception banquet for you. Li Changsheng said.
Wang Huan got into an extended cadillac and the convoy left the airport for Chinatown.
..................
After entering Chinatown.
Wang Huan was once again received with great enthusiasm.
At least a few thousand people came to greet him, lion dances, firecrackers.
Although it is not as good as in China, it is definitely a sea of colorful flags fluttering and crowded.
The reception banquet was held at Jinfeng Restaurant.
A total of more than 500 people attended this reception banquet, and they can be regarded as representatives of overseas Chinese with heads and faces.
After eating, Li Changsheng took Wang Huan to his mansion.
"Mr. Wang Huan, first of all, I would like to thank you for the miracle you created in the Olympic Games, which made me a lot of money, a lot of money. Li Changsheng said: "So during your stay in the United States, I will treat you in the most warm way, and send someone to protect your personal safety throughout the process." ”
Wang Huan said: "Thank you." ”
Li Changsheng made a pot of tea, and then said, "Please." ”
Wang Huan picked up the tea and drank it.
Li Changsheng said: "As an individual, I welcome you very, very well. But as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I don't really want you to come. ”
Wang Huan did not speak, but listened quietly.
Li Changsheng said: "You don't know about the United States, you don't know how difficult it is for you to get ahead in the United States as a Chinese. You have a lot of prestige and influence in the country. And you are in the United States, not only not prestige, but negative. ”
"Not only you, as an individual, but even China as a whole, don't have much of a presence in the United States. ”
Wang Huan knew that this was true, after all, it was 2004.
"This time, we actually invited a lot of people, including the Chinese rich, as well as some well-known Chinese actors, but no one came. Li Changsheng said: "We made a big scene at the airport and in Chinatown. But in case you don't know, except for a few people, most of the others are small owners of restaurants. The well-known Chinese in the United States are actually drawing a line with you. ”
"Did you know that there have been famous actors or artists from China who have visited the United States before. Li Changsheng said: "We are also responsible for the reception, and in the photos and videos, the scene is also vigorous." But the crowd is also a group of us, and every event is losing money, spending money to invite people to make the scene bigger. What cultural export, what sensation in the United States, is fake. It's just a bunch of us entertaining ourselves. ”
This is a very damning statement, but it is also true.
Li Changsheng said: "If you come this time, we will also arrange the scene beautifully." Guarantee a crowd of people, then take a few photos, send them to the domestic media, and you can explain to the country. As for how much it will cost, you don't have to worry about it, we are willing to help you get the money. But I'm going to tell you the truth, these activities don't have the slightest influence on the United States, and no Americans even care about them, and we're entertaining ourselves. You should be here for a period of travel, come happily, and leave happily. ”
Wang Huan said: "Chairman Li, have you seen my press conference in China?"
Li Changsheng said: "I've seen it, conquer the United States." But I'm not going to take it seriously. ”
Wang Huan said: "You even treat him as a joke, right?"
Li Changsheng said: "You don't know much about the United States, so it's understandable to say such things." ”
Wang Huan said: "Do you think it's impossible?"
Li Changsheng said: "It's completely impossible, I won't describe it as difficult." You know Phillips, you know Lucas? They're top Olympic stars, but they're only in the Olympics days, and most of the rest of the day, they don't have much influence, they can't compare to baseball stars, they can't compare to NBA stars. ”
What Li Changsheng said was the truth.
In the United States, there are top musicians, top actors, top stars, top writers, and top directors.
The top group of people monopolizes the right to speak in various industries.
At least in 2004, not a single Chinese mixed up.
None of the Chinese have gained a high voice in these areas.
There are still rich Chinese, and even the business is still very large, worth billions of dollars.
But almost without exception, they are all Chinese-Americans from the other side.
Their attitude towards China is very cold, and they ignore Wang Huan.
Li Changsheng said: "Mr. Wang Huan, what you said at the domestic press conference that you want to conquer the United States is a joke?
Wang Huan said, "What do you want to say?"
Li Changsheng said: "If it is a joke, we are willing to cooperate and spend millions of dollars to help you create a big show, which is crowded with people, so that the country is satisfied with it." But if you're true, then there's nothing we can do about it. ”
Then, Li Changsheng said: "Can I ask in detail, how do you plan to conquer the United States?"
Wang Huan said: "Who is the top singer in the United States? Who is the top pianist in the United States? Who is the top writer in the United States? Who is the top martial artist in the United States? Who is the top director in the United States? I will challenge them one by one and defeat them." ”
After a pause, Wang Huan continued: "My first plan is to conquer Broadway and conquer Americans in high music. I'm also going to publish a book on Chinese themes, challenging the Nebula Award, the Hugo Award, America's top literary award. ”
In an instant, Li Changsheng was stunned.
Wang Huan's routine is very normal, and the old society martial arts hall kicks the hall, that's it.
Come to the local area, find the strongest person to compete, defeat this person, and then become famous.
But......
It's not just madness, it's utter ignorance.
Are you an athlete?
To conquer America in high music?
You can't speak English, do you want to publish Chinese literature to conquer the top literary awards in the United States?
Do you want to compete with the best pianists in the United States?
Do you know what movies are all about?
Li Changsheng felt that what he saw was a madman, a complete madman.
After a long while, Li Changsheng said, "Mr. Wang Huan, I respect your achievements very much. I'm also willing to pay out of my own pocket to help you give a few bang speeches in the United States. But I can't dance with a madman, I still need to do business here. I will continue to give you a warm welcome and send the best bodyguards to keep you safe. But for other things, please forgive me for not being able to do anything about it. Hope you eat well and play well in the United States. ”
"I booked a suite for you for two months at the Po Ray Hotel and you can stay as long as you want. ”
In fact, Chairman Li Changsheng wanted Wang Huan to live at home at first.
But now it was decided to let him stay in a hotel, and even decided to stay away from this person a little.
He is patriotic, but not mad.
..................
Wang Huan lives in a suite at the Baorui Hotel.
Almost as soon as he landed, he suffered a serious setback in his great conquest of the United States.
Here he is incomparably smaller.
The Chinese have their own newspapers and even their own TV stations here, but their influence is very small, and the audience is only Chinese.
And these newspapers and TV stations are absolutely unwilling to accompany Wang Huan to go crazy.
Wang Huan wants to speak out in China, it is very simple, any TV station can be his mouthpiece.
And here it is!
He couldn't make any sound.
Wang Huan has already contacted the top Chinese newspapers and television stations in the United States.
None of them were willing to make a statement for him.
So, Wang Huan appeared in the New York Times Building.
He was received by an editor-in-chief.
"I would like to make a statement. Wang Huan said.
The editor-in-chief picked up a fountain pen and said, "Please speak, Mr. Wang Huan." ”
Wang Huan said: "Mr. Pavaroni is the world's top tenor singer and the king of Broadway theater, right?"
The editor-in-chief said: "Of course, it is well known. ”
Wang Huan said: "I want to invite him to perform together, and we will sing on the same stage to present an opera feast for the people of New York." ”
The editor-in-chief said, "Mr. Wang Huan, you want to have an opera performance at the Broadway theater with Mr. Pavaroni?"
Wang Huan said: "Yes. ”
The editor-in-chief said, "If I'm not mistaken, you once said you were going to conquer America or something. So you chose the world's No. 1 tenor Parvaroni as your first challenge, did you choose tenor singing as your domain to conquer America?"
Wang Huan said: "Yes, because the voice is loud and high, everyone can hear it." ”
The editor-in-chief stared at Wang Huan with a serious face.
Then he finally couldn't help it, and burst out laughing, and the coffee in his mouth squirted out directly.
"I'm so sorry, I know I'm not serious, but I can't help it. The editor-in-chief said: "Mr. Wang Hua, in the New York Times, I am the most Chinese very friendly, I have studied in China for several years, I am a Chinese expert, my Chinese is also very good, so I will send you to receive you." ”
At this, he couldn't help but laugh again and covered his stomach.
"Sorry, sorry, please give me three minutes. The editor-in-chief covered his belly and kept laughing: "Hahahaha......"
After laughing for almost two minutes, he desperately held back and continued: "Mr. Wang Huan, I understand that before you participated in the Olympic Games, you used to perform a talk show, and the effect was very good. But...... Do you know opera? This is the highest music temple in the world, and every tenor has gone through decades of study and performance, and Mr. Pavaroni is the king of tenors. ”
"You, a burlesque actor, an athlete, are going to challenge for the highest place in the world's most elegant music?"
"Mr. Wang Huan, you know that you have a very bad reputation in the United States. ”
Wang Huan said: "Are you willing to speak up for me?" I think it should be possible, after all, this is very gimmicky and very eye-catching. ”
"You know that the New York Times is very impartial and authoritative, and it is absolutely impossible for you to publish such a reputation that borders on farce, and that would tarnish our image," the editor-in-chief said. But the New York Sun can, and is more than willing to publish this fame for you. ”
The New York Sun, the quintessential penny newspaper, is thrill-seeking and unstylish.
..................
Soon, the New York Sun published Wang Huan's challenge.
Chinese athlete Wang Huan invited the world's No. 1 tenor Pavaroni to perform on Broadway.
This is the original text.
This news is really full of curiosity, and it is really full of eyeball effect.
Soon, countless lace newspapers were reprinted.
A lot of entertainment news has also been broadcast.
But the content is no longer Wang Huan's invitation to Pavaroni to perform on Broadway.
Instead, he became a Chinese doping champion, a sprinter, a Broadway challenger, and the world's No. 1 tenor singer.
Here, Wang Huan really became Don Quixote who rushed to the windmill.
Many people saw the news after that.
The vast majority of people are dismissive.
Because the hype trick is not very common in China, but it is seen too much in the United States.
Every day, countless people are desperately hyping up and desperately selling ugly games.
But Wang Huan is a Chinese, and he is also an Olympic champion and a sprinter.
Therefore, his reputation is still completely on fire.
made his already bad reputation go to the next level.
If before, he was a villain who sent his wife to prison, an athlete who used doping, now his reputation has made him a clown.
"It's ridiculous that we criticized this man in a very serious way. ”
America's most famous talk show lady said on the show: "From now on, I will not criticize this person again." Because this has completely turned into a farce, a clown-like farce. ”
"Maybe our New York circus is really missing a clown, and it happens to have one of the best from China. ”
And Chinatown, which was originally enthusiastic about Wang Huan, suddenly became embarrassed.
Is this Wang Huan so unreliable?
An athlete you come to the United States, not more than sports, but to opera?
Challenging the world's No. 1 tenor?
It's so frivolous, it's really like a clown.
Do you know what opera is?
Have you ever sung a song for a day?
........................
Pavaroni, the world's No. 1 tenor, did not respond.
However, Broadway theaters responded.
"I'm very sorry, but this is a paradise for art, not a circus, and clowns are not welcome. ”
This is no longer a refusal, but a feeling of great insult.
Immediately afterwards, another theater publicly invited Wang Huan in the newspaper.
"We very much welcome Mr. Wang Huan to perform in our theater. ”
When I checked the theater, I found that it was performing cyan performances.
I often act, and I start to take off my clothes. And it's not just cyan, but also a variety of hunting performances.
A weird-looking deformed person.
Either normal people perform certain performances that challenge the bottom line.
..................
Exactly ten days passed.
Wang Huan's great cause of conquest is still without an inch.
His statement was sent out and caused a huge stir.
But it has become a huge farce and a laughing stock.
He wanted to show his talent, but he couldn't find any stage.
Not only does Broadway feel that they can't afford to lose this person, but even all TV stations and all high-end stages feel that they can't afford to lose this person.
But Wang Huan has been preparing for this opera performance for a long time.
Not only did he change his voice, but he also completely transformed his voice with Future Technology.
And it has accepted the essence of the entire opera civilization of another world.
He even asked Wenming Star to engrave the rhythm and technique of opera singing in his brain.
And I also learned the resonance and rendering skills of future acoustics.
We have also prepared many classic masterpieces that are not available in this world.
In the Tower of the End of the World, he trained for countless days and nights, because the time scale and reality inside were not the same.
The power of future technology makes his tenor full of incomparably penetrating power.
Amazing.
And with the most classic works of another world.
The power of the shock is unparalleled.
But alas, he couldn't find the stage.
Otherwise, it will definitely dominate the audience.
Because Wang Huan learned not only singing, but also a powerful acoustic force field.
He didn't choose pop music.
When he came to conquer the United States this time, he chose a very elegant and highly stylish form of civilization.
And, of course, absolute power.
All he needs is a stage.
................................................
Wang Huan came to Rockefeller Center.
He joined another media giant in the United States, NBC.
Now there is a program that is becoming popular on NBC TV, and it will be popular all over the world next.
That's America's Got Talent.
This is actually a grassroots show, all kinds of grassroots, come to the stage to show their unique skills.
There are a variety of performances.
As long as it attracts attention, as long as there is a unique skill.
However, singing programs are not too popular here.
In another world, "Britain's Got Talent" became popular with Aunt Susan, but it was 2009, and her song "I Had a Dream" became popular all over the world.
However, overall, her popularity does not depend entirely on strength, but more on her grassroots identity, coupled with the contrast effect of the opera.
In another world, the popularity of the talent show from various countries was in 2006.
However, in Wang Huan's world, "America's Got Talent" has been popular for two years.
Today, NBC's "America's Got Talent" is even more popular all over the world.
Wang Huan couldn't find the stage.
So, I found here, even though this is a grassroots stage, but the influence is big enough and the ratings are amazing.
Moreover, he prepared another opera repertoire that is the most classic and shocking in the world, but not in this world.
Because the show is so hot.
That's why NBC has to go through a lot of interviews before every episode.
Influencers from all over the world have come to NBC TV to pursue their dreams.
Of course, you don't have to have a unique skill to be on the show.
It's okay to sacrifice ugliness.
As long as it is curious enough, then it is full of ugliness, and it can also be on the show and be seen by countless audiences.
There was once an overseas Chinese young man who performed an extremely embarrassing and terrible singing, and as a result, he became popular because of this ugliness, and even participated in a Hong Kong movie.
Of course, this kind of ugly popularity was only for a short time, and it soon disappeared.
..........................................
NBC TV, the interview scene of "America's Got Talent".
The triumvirate of America's Got Talent judges are watching the performances of one talent after another.
Overall, most of the performances were terrible, and they were car accident scenes.
"Next. ”
Wang Huan appeared in the field of vision of the Big Three.
One of them scratched his head and said, "You seem very familiar." ”
Wang Huan said in Chinese: "My name is Wang Huan and I am from China. ”
Soon, a judge remembered Wang Huan's face.
"Wang ...... Huan, the super doping champion, is going to challenge the athlete who is the world's No. 1 tenor......"
"It's so much fun. ”
"Wang, aren't you going to Broadway, how did you get to the stage of our America's Got Talent?"
Wang Huan did not speak.
The judges of the Big Three stopped laughing and said, "Mr. Wang Huan, you are an athlete, whether you have been injected with doping or not. But it has nothing to do with opera performances, do you know what opera is, do you know what a tenor is?"
Wang Huan did not answer.
In fact, he can understand English completely now, because he has received the inheritance of the world's major linguistic civilizations at the Tower of the End of the World.
But from beginning to end, he communicates in Chinese.
It's not hypocrisy, it's not arrogance, it's a gimmick.
He's creating a persona for himself.
I am in the United States, I don't speak a word of English, I speak Chinese the whole time, but I can still conquer the United States.
That's the impression you want.
"You don't know English? Oh my God, could there be anything more ridiculous in the world? A man who doesn't know English at all, and yet he comes here to conquer America?"
Next, the TV station hired a translator.
"Mr. Wang Huan, may I ask what is the purpose of your coming to the American Got Talent Program?"
Wang Huan said: "Broadway does not accept my performance, so I came here, I want to stage an opera feast for the world, and I want to challenge the world's No. 1 tenor here." ”
After Wang Huan finished speaking, the three judges burst into laughter again.
"Mr. Wang Huan, you are really a burlesque actor, even if you don't know English, you know how to make us laugh. The first judge said: "Of course Broadway will reject you, because it is a palace of elegant art, but in our place, even if it is ugly, we are welcome, Mr. Wang Huan, then please start your performance, may I ask what kind of repertoire you are performing?"
Wang Huan said: "My Sun". ”
