Chapter 549: Interview
Merika didn't notice for a while that the words changed positions, sometimes Chinese is so wonderful, changing positions, the brain will also reveal the normal meaning, does not affect reading, which is a feature that no pinyin text has.
She just saw Zhang Chi looking at a few words in a daze, so she asked casually: "What's wrong?" ”
Zhang Chi stretched out his finger and pointed: "Two words are wrong."
"Really".
Merika took a closer look, and then laughed: "However, only two of the six words are wrong, which is already good." Have you ever seen an American hanging a couplet in the study, one couplet is hung upright, but the other side is upside down, and the words are all ...... with their heads on the ground."
Zhang Chi really heard about this, and after coming to the United States, Zhang Chi heard a lot about these things, and the Americans completely used their own imagination to speculate on the habits of the Chinese.
Of course, these people may be the ones in the domestic media who are interested in Chinese culture and don't want to understand it.
The two of them walked forward with the crowd with their children in their arms, and the more people went forward, the more lively they naturally became.
After the bar, to the west, there is the place where Zhang Chi was flat a few days ago, that is, the food stall, the place of the performance, the place is not small, it used to be the place where the cattle were auctioned, and it was also the place where the town celebrated.
In Zhang Chi's view, this place is a bit like the barley field in his hometown, which is not only used to dry wheat, but also to dry grain, and can also be used to cool off in summer.
That's it anyway.
As he walked, Zhang Chi was attracted by an affair, what is it, an interview car.
It would not be surprising if it was an ordinary interview Che Zhangchi, there was such a big commotion in Amber Town, and it was normal for a nearby TV station to interview and make a news or something.
But this interview car is different, in addition to English, there is also Chinese, and as soon as he looks at the Chinese label, Zhang Chi knows what this is, Americans may not know, but in China this is a very famous satellite TV.
"Why are they here to interview too?" Merika also saw it, turned her head to look at Zhang Chi and asked.
Zhang Chi retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "How do I know this, I am not their director."
The two continued to walk, and before they had walked a few steps, they saw a reporter with a Chinese face interviewing a young couple with a microphone, and a little girl sitting around the husband's neck, an obvious family of three.
"Are you here for the Chinese Festival?" The journalist asked.
When Zhang Chi heard this question, he secretly said in his heart: What is this interview, people don't come for the festival, it's difficult to come over to see sumo, and if you want to see sumo, there is no one here.
Just when Zhang Chi was slandering others, the reporter asked a family of three a few questions.
The question is very simple, it's nothing more than how do you feel about it, like Chinese culture and so on.
Zhang Chi felt that the question was stupid, of course you said that you liked these guys when you asked, and these people were not stupid, they said that they didn't like to come and see, isn't that a brain disease.
Just when the villain was dancing in Zhang Chi's mind, the interview ended.
"Hello, hello!"
The host said goodbye to the white family of three who were interviewed, and soon set his eyes on Zhang Chi, a family of three.
There is no way, this family of three middle schools is too outstanding, Asian men, with white women, and Asian men are not tall, but white women are surprisingly high, think about how eye-catching this family of three must be when they appear in the host's eyes.
Merica smiled at the host and said, "Hello".
Pure Chinese.
When the female anchor saw it, she immediately showed surprise: "You can speak Chinese"
"I studied in China, and my husband is of Chinese descent, so we almost always communicate ...... in Chinese at home," Merica said.
Merica gave a little insight into her home.
"Wow, that's great!" The female anchor's eyes flashed with little stars, as if she had discovered something interesting.
Zhang Chi saw through it at a glance, this female anchor is too professional, it is the kind of performative interview that can't be fake.
But Zhang Chi doesn't care, doesn't dislike it, and doesn't complain, what do you say about the news, depending on how you look at it, sometimes the news is nonsense.
Anyway, this thing...... Well, everyone looks at each other, for example, Zhang Chi doesn't like to watch any news, and thinks that it is better to go and see the cows in the cowshed when he has time.
After chatting with Merika, the female anchor stretched out the microphone in her hand in front of Zhang Chi: "When did you come to the United States, and ...... your father's generation or grandfather's generation."
Zhang Chi said: "No, I came here with my uncle when I was a teenager."
"Oh, how is life over here?"
Zhang Chi thinks this is another nonsense, I'm going to say it's not good, so what are you going to ask next?
"It's okay, don't worry about eating or drinking, life is not bad, there is no pressure," Zhang Chi replied.
The anchor asked, "May I ask what you do?" ”
"I have a ranch nearby," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
"Have a ranch? Your own ranch? If it's convenient, you can ask how big your ranch is, what business is it mainly engaged in, and whether it raises cattle or sheep."
Cough! Cough!
At this time, a middle-aged man standing next to the cameraman coughed.
This may be a signal, and the female anchor gave up on the issue as soon as she heard it.
After a few simple questions, the interview was over.
Zhang Chi and Merika were about to continue walking, when they had just taken two steps when they heard a cry from behind them.
The two turned their heads together and found the female anchor trotting to the side of the two.
"Hello, my name is Duan Xiaoyan, I am a reporter from Channel XX, let's get to know each other again" The female anchor smiled and stretched out her hand to the two again.
Zhang Chi and Merika didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this Duan anchor, but they still shook hands with her again.
Duan Xiaoyan continued: "Some friends from the media and I are going to make a documentary to record the living conditions of Chinese Americans in the United States. I think you two are a good fit, why don't we find a time to talk? ”
Zhang Chi glanced at his daughter-in-law, and Merika also turned her head to look at her husband.
"I'm sorry, Miss Duan, I don't think we're a good fit to be on camera," Merica refused.
Duan Xiaoyan was a little puzzled when she heard this, and after thinking about it for a while, she asked, "Can I ask what the reason is?" ”
For Duan Xiaoyan, Zhang Chi and his wife are a very rare example, so far the Chinese who come to the United States, if the people interviewed by her are not ordinary people, they are average when they are in China, and their lives are still ordinary when they come here.
Either they were quite rich when they were in China, and when they came to the United States, they still lived on domestic business, that is, the kind of people who made money in China and spent in the United States.
Of course, having money here refers to doing some small business, and the business is almost thousands, and people like Lao Liu will definitely not be interviewed by Anchor Duan, so isn't it unpleasant for yourself.
There are not many people like Zhang Chi who run ranches in the United States and live on the American market. In particular, it can represent a group of groups that are integrated into American society.
As for the old Chinese, those who stand out are either opening restaurants or working as lawyers and doctors, and their real social status is actually not high.
Of course, as a Chinese-American, the most outstanding thing is in the field of scientific research, and many research institutes and research institutions in the United States are full of Chinese scientists.
"The main reason is that my husband and I don't like to face the media very much, I'm sorry," Merica explained with a smile.
Duan Xiaoyan had no choice, so she opened her mouth and said, "Okay then."
said okay on the lips, but in my heart I was unwilling, a woman in her twenties, from a communication college that was not very popular to her current status, working on Star TV, she must have two brushes.
Zhang Chi and Merika knew that they were being targeted, so they continued to walk to the place where the activity was held.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance, I heard a burst of noise, accompanied by bursts of applause.
What is going on inside, Zhang Chi's family can't see it clearly at all, because there are really many people, and many Americans are tall and big, and the height of one meter eight is not too difficult to see here, Zhang Chi is small, so naturally he can't see the front, let alone Zhang Chi, even Merica can't see what is going on twenty meters ago.
But there is one good thing, that is, there is no crowd here, everyone sees it, and if they don't see it, they won't push the people in front.
Zhang Chi didn't know if this situation was the norm, because he had never seen so many people get together before, and even if it was a few days of protest, it was far from such a dense crowd.
Following the crowd forward, after a while, Zhang Chi found that the center of the venue was dancing with a dragon, with fireworks spewing out of the dragon's mouth, and flying up and down, plus there were lights in the dragon's body, and now it was night.
As soon as the dragon danced, there was a dazzling and dizzying meaning, not to mention how these cowboys danced, this momentum alone made many foreigners who saw this thing for the first time feel that it was worth it today.
Zhang Chi also watched it very happily, the dragon dance, you look at it alone and a group of people around it It feels completely different, a group of people surround, the atmosphere rubbed up all of a sudden, and unconsciously with the laughter of the people around him, the corners of his mouth also curled.
