Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Eight The Press Conference in Chaos
What Chen Kangjie said was not a random fabrication, because before he was reborn in 2005, he had seen NBC interviews with Gray. Because he was impressed, he wrote down all the details.
"This is an example of us Americans. We Americans can, but it doesn't mean you Chinese can do it too. This is Los Angeles. You are the one behind. Can you make movies in Los Angeles? I think you'd better get back." George Elma, who was flushed by Chen Kangjie, was so angry that she was angry.
"You are a racist, right?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
At this time, both the reporters and the people on the stage were staring at Chen Kangjie. Idiots could see that Chen Kangjie was angry. Although the United States is a free society, there was an riot against racism in Los Angeles in 1992, which had a great impact on American history and culture. That was, from that incident, blatant racists were likely to face imprisonment.
George Elma was somewhat scared. Although he did not claim to be racist, it was possible that it would become yes in the lawyer's mouth. He stood up nervously and wanted to leave, but he took a step and was stopped by Chen Kangjie again.
"Remember one thing, sooner or later you will know whether I can make a movie, and I will prove it very well to you that Orientals and Chinese can also do this Hollywood style better, you can leave." Chen Kangjie made public promises and challenges.
George Elma glanced at Chen Kangjie angrily before leaving with their Fox Broadcasting photojournalist. He planned to report the news that made him extremely uncomfortable after he went back.
This conversation at the first press conference was recorded in its original form, which greatly reduced his reputation pressure for success and fame at a young age. After all, he has cited three successful examples of both young and extraordinary achievements. The short passage he finally said to George Elma was later widely cited by domestic media to inspire young people. Moreover, this passage was also used as an excuse for excuses when he was interviewed by other reporters.
After George Elma left, the press conference was not interrupted by this little episode and continued. Swarzenegger was ready to answer the question about him, but the other party left in disgrace, but someone would replace him.
"Hello, Arnold, I am Stephenson, a reporter from CBS. I don't mean to offend it, but I still want to continue asking the reporter who just left, how did you think of taking on this drama? After all, it's still very difficult for the director to control such a movie." Stephenson may also be a lesson to avoid the past, so although the problems are the same, the tone is very different.
"Thank you, thank you for giving me the opportunity to answer this question again. I very much disagree with the meaning of that reporter. Although I was born in Austria, I have been an American for almost thirty years. I understand American culture. One of our values is to respect talents and knowledge, and not care about background. This is also the reason why I can achieve certain achievements in the United States. Long is my friend. I appreciate his talent. Our family likes it. He has the wisdom and restraint of Eastern people, but also the humor and openness of Western people. Although he is not American, I have talked with him several times. I feel that he knows this country better than us and our culture. The most direct point is that through his speech just now, you can hear that his American English speaks better than me. My English has a faint Austrian flavor,."
Swarzenegger's little joke made everyone laugh. Swarzenegger said the truth. He has been in the United States for decades and has always had a heavy accent. At first, it caused trouble to him, but later it became his characteristics that everyone accepted.
"I only learned from him that he reads a book about the United States every month, which is an original book that has not been translated. Everyone, how many of us have done it. Long told him about this movie, he told me and Curtis. You can ask her how she feels, so we believe that Long can definitely make this movie well." After the laughter, Swarzenegger continued to talk.
Swarzenegger's words were completely praises to Chen Kangjie. Some were his own ideas, but he also had some respect to Chen Kangjie's face and helped him endorse him.
That day Swarzenegger, Curtis and Art Marik went to Miramax to negotiate the contract. Because Art Marik was just right, Chen Kangjie paid a good salary of $3 million, so he agreed very readily.
Since it has been decided, the next two days, several people discussed the shooting together, and those two days also made Swarzenegger's understanding of Chen Kangjie a big step forward. He was a very wise and knowledgeable young man. Chen Kangjie once recited the American Declaration of Independence word by word in front of them, which amazed them, whether they were immigrants or not. In their conversations with them, Chen Kangjie also quoted the words of Jefferson and Mark Twain in large paragraphs.
Before the reporter could speak, Curtis took the initiative to take over Swarzenegger's words: "I agree with Arnold's words. Although long is young, he has the potential to become a great director. I am proud to be able to participate in his first film."
Chen Kangjie just nodded and expressed his gratitude to Swarzenegger and Curtis for his endorsement.
"Long, hello, I am a reporter from HBO TV, Michelle Streisan, I know that the "truelies" you will shoot is the work of K.J.CHEN, the most popular writer in the world in the past two years. As far as I know, many film companies want to buy the copyright of his works, but they all returned in a defeat. In addition, the global news media have tried every means to find opportunities to interview K.J.CHEN, and the result is the same. It ended in vain. So I want to ask, why can you get the copyright of this movie script? Who talked about it? Can you introduce some of the situations of K.J.CHEN? So far, we only know that he is a Chinese, not old and knows nothing about the rest." When Streisan asked this question, he stared at Chen Kangjie tightly.
HBO is a Los Angeles paid TV station without advertisements, mainly broadcasting entertainment, music and sports programs.
Swarzenegger's praise for Chen Kangjie just now had already made the keen Michelle and Shi Cuishan have some suspicion. He hoped that the change of expression could be seen from Chen Kangjie's face, but unfortunately, Chen Kangjie's eyes were completely blocked by sunglasses. He could not see Chen Kangjie's flashing gaze, and Chen Kangjie had no change in his expression, and he kept smiling. However, his heart was ups and downs. He was really afraid of anything he could do, and he could not hide from him, so he could only deal with it head-on.
At this time, the venue was extremely quiet. It was estimated that a needle could be heard clearly when it fell to the ground. Whether it was the people in the audience or the people on the stage, they showed the greatest curiosity and interest in Michelle Shi Cuishan's questions. Fan Wenxuan, who knew the inside story, even felt his heart in his throat. He didn't know how Chen Kangjie would answer this question.
Chen Kangjie took a deep breath and approached the microphone: "Since you are asking me, let me answer. This script is one of my favorite scripts. As for taking down the copyright, it was discussed with Huashang Publishing Company. K.J.CHEN authorized Huashang Publishing Company to handle the copyright of his works in the middle of this year. I happened to have a good relationship with Li Wendong, the general manager of this institution, so I took it down smoothly. I have nothing to tell you about K.J.CHEN's situation." Chen Kangjie calmed down and replied slowly.
"Do you know his situation and don't want to disclose it or you don't know his situation at all?" Shi Cuishan asked without that simple letting Chen Kangjie go.
This sentence completely forced Chen Kangjie to the wall. If he said he didn't know, then when he learned that he was K.J.CHEN, his words would be a naked lie, which would cause a big stain on his image. However, if he said that he knew the situation, he would become Li Wendong's character and be blocked by reporters. If that was true, how could he make a movie normally? It would be really a dilemma.
"I know his situation, OK. Because his identity is a bit special and he is still a student, he doesn't want his life to be disturbed. I hope everyone can understand that this is why so many reporters ask for an interview and will be rejected. I can only say so much," Chen Kangjie was embarrassed, only Mo Ling said with mercy.
"Listen to your voice so soft and crisp, I think you must be very handsome. Can you take off your glasses and see?" Michelle Shi Cuishan is such a difficult reporter and a dedicated reporter. Chen Kangjie finished speaking and she stood up, but other reporters stopped.
“Long, it’s time for me to ask a question. I want to know what your relationship is with K.J.CHEN,.
"Long, can you tell me which school K.J.CHEN is in?"
"Long, I am a reporter from ABC. Can you tell me the Chinese name of K.J.CHEN?"
“long,,,,,.”.
,,,,,,.
Suddenly, all the reporters were like taking stimulants and stood up to ask questions to Chen Kangjie, which caught Chen Kangjie off guard. Finally, all the reporters rushed to Chen Kangjie with guns and cannons, and the scene was lost, causing John Jimmy and Xiong Ziqiang, who were responsible for protecting Chen Kangjie, to force Chen Kangjie to protect Chen Kangjie from the scene.
