Chapter 959
The talk show is a very unique and influential propaganda position in the United States. How influential is it? There was once a presidential candidate who resolutely gave up the presidential candidate debate and went on a talk show.
Of course, it's not that he's out of his mind, but that his team has studied it, and there are far fewer people watching debates than talking shows.
Not only politicians in the United States are like this, but leaders of other countries in the world will also seek to show off on those well-known talk show programs when they come to the United States.
Because they also know that attending these talk shows can shorten the distance with the American public better and faster, so that more Americans can accept and like themselves.
Americans are actually pretty stupid and naive sometimes.
For example, during George Bush’s term of office, Musharraf, the former Prime Minister of the Pakistan Railways, once went to a talk show as a guest, and the host asked a very difficult question, “What if George Bush and *** To run for president in Pakistan, who do you think will win?"
The latter replied wittily, "I think both of them will lose badly,"
When this clip was broadcast on YouTube, many Americans commented below, "He is so cool, he should be our president,"
You see, this is much more effective than many other complicated tasks he does.
Generally, after 11 o'clock every night, the major cable TV channels in the United States begin to compete to broadcast talk shows.
The layout of the show is generally very simple, with a host, a table, several sofas for guests to sit on, some with a small band, and some with an assistant host.
Of course, some simply don’t even have a table, just a few sofas, where they sit with guests.
Therefore, the core of a talk show is the host, or to put it simply, the host's mouth.
The attraction of the show is the host's mouth that can make jokes satirical and funny to the extreme.
Of course, to be precise, what comes out of the host’s mouth is not his own words. This is the same as most of the host’s speeches are written by a special person. Those talk show hosts Wonderful jokes are backed by a professional writing team.
In order to make the show exciting and watchable, this team will also customize some jokes and topics for the guests, and the guests usually work alone.
One person singled out a group, the consequences can be imagined.
Oprah was once on the stage, forcing some guests to get off the stage.
Moreover, these hosts have long been accustomed to living under the spotlight and in front of the camera, but ordinary people, such as Feng Yiping, who are not in the entertainment industry, will be somewhat nervous and restrained in front of these two things, which is more difficult than usual in front of people. Not good.
There are quite a few spectators at the talk show. If one is not good, maybe you went there with the intention of becoming a fan, but after watching your performance, let alone becoming a fan, maybe many people will immediately become fans. black.
As a proud person, it was the first time in his two lifetimes that he was on a talk show. Feng Yiping took it very seriously and refused to accept that there would be an embarrassing ending. Sure, Queen Oprah has never been kind to herself.
He is very clear that there are basically no majestic women, especially these women in the entertainment industry, because of the order of names, the position of the group photo..., and these things that many people seem to have no need to care about. It's a lot of fun to argue, not to mention that last time Feng Yiping and Merbaker were in Hapu Entertainment, they were not very polite to Oprah.
It would be no wonder if she didn't prepare a few ruthless ones on the show!
What's more, the richest man in China does not perform well on talk shows. For ordinary people in the United States, maybe this is something they like very much.
"Well, I don't have much experience with talk shows," Xiao Aohei said.
He was actually a little envious of Feng Yiping being on Oprah's show.
For him, there is a long distance, that is, he is in Chicago, and Oprah is in Chicago, but after all these years, he just can't get on that show.
"I think the most important point is that when faced with some multiple-choice questions that make you in a dilemma, it is best to answer them from the third angle,"
This meaning, Feng Yiping understands, is similar to the classic "your daughter-in-law and your mother fell into the water at the same time, who do you save first,"
To say that no one is right can only be answered from other angles.
"It's not ruled out that you may encounter some questions that you really don't want to answer. At that time, just ignore them and say something that you were ready to say but didn't have a chance to say, or something that is definitely correct,"
This, Feng Yiping also knows, is common in diplomatic occasions.
Whenever asked a sharp question, the press spokespersons of various governments are virtuous, "We have always followed..., we have always adhered to..., we have always adopted..., we hope...,"
In short, it is the same as saying nothing.
…………
Whether you are nervous or apprehensive, Coin Star and McDonald's just announced that they will cooperate to operate Redbox, and Feng Yiping is going to appear on Oprah's talk show.
The company still has a lot of people in Chicago, and they are handling various handovers with McDonald's. Feng Yiping naturally brought several people with him tonight. Heart.
This time, Feng Yiping and his party were personally received by the president of Harp Group, Jeff Jacobs.
Behind the talk show queen Oprah, there are two men, one is her boyfriend of more than 20 years, Stedman Graham.
As if they had never been married, Stedman Graham's title, it seemed, would always be boyfriend.
I heard that there was a successful marriage proposal once, but the wedding was canceled due to some reasons, and the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend has been maintained since then.
Of course, according to less authoritative gossip, there is another reason.
Another big source of income for Oprah is the magazine "O" jointly issued by the Harp Group and Hearst. It is said that she and the editor-in-chief of that magazine, Gayle King, The relationship is ambiguous.
All, as you know and imagine, the entertainment industry is so colorful.
The other man behind her is Jack Boss.
In 1984, the gentleman was an obscure entertainment lawyer in Chicago, and when Oprah first walked into his office, it was just to ask him to help with her new contract, but then Jack Burr Smith reminded her that just working for others would not make her truly successful and that she should start her own company.
So in 1986, they jointly established the Hapu Group, which later created Oprah's business empire.
"Hi Feng, I think I should take you to familiarize yourself with the venue first, this way please," he first took Feng Yiping to their studio.
Unlike other talk shows, Oprah's talk show is not fixed in a studio in Chicago, but will change locations randomly.
For example, they have filmed in the White House, in the studios of some popular dramas, like the studios of "Friends"... .
Sometimes, because of the trouble caused by her big mouth, for example, Oprah once offended farmers in a place on the show. In the end, in order to apologize and get the understanding of those people, she had to put her studio, A program was filmed in the fields where I moved.
Of course, most of the time, the filming of the show is still fixed in this studio in Chicago.
The studio is very large, and it is not difficult to accommodate thousands of spectators on site.
After a few glances, Feng Yiping quickly decided that the buddies or sisters in charge of the scene must be very practical or science and engineering graduates who love steel.
Because it seems that, except for the center of the spotlight, the stage that can freely expand the area has been decorated with a little thought, and the auditorium is really very original.
It is divided into two floors of auditoriums, from the seats to the stairs and railings, all are made of iron, and they are still in the original color, and there is no paint.
…………
No matter which country you are in, the attraction of wealth to everyone is unquestionable. The young richest man in that big communist country in the East wants to appear on the Oprah talk show, which is quite attractive.
In the United States, Feng Yiping has always been low-key and reclusive, so there are too many people who want to get in touch with this lucky guy up close. It would be great if he could get some inspiration from him.
Therefore, too many people thought of watching this episode live, and finally, nearly 800 lucky people got this opportunity.
Seeing the endless stream of excited audiences entering the arena, the staff at the scene were very proud.
The previous program had already started. Feng Yiping, who was sitting in the dressing room, was not used to looking at the young man with a little makeup in the mirror. He, so this time, it was really the time when he had the thickest makeup.
He simply closed his eyes, and quietly took a deep breath as before.
After an unknown amount of time, someone knocked on the door, and a girl with a headset came in and said, "Mr. Feng, it's time for you to play."
"thanks,"
…………
In the center of the stage, Oprah stood up wearing a long gray silk dress, "Welcome our guest today, Yiping, Feng,"
Amid the warm applause and whistles, Feng Yiping, wearing a pair of jeans and a white shirt, stepped onto the stage quickly and waved to the audience with a smile.
"Welcome Feng,"
"Nice to meet you, Oprah," the two men seemed to have forgotten the last unpleasant, warm embrace.
On such occasions, Feng Yiping habitually wore that slightly shy disguise on his face. In short, in the eyes of the curious audience, he was really a boy next door.
Perhaps, it is no different from my former Chinese classmate who studied hard and excelled in mathematics.
But as soon as Feng Yiping took his seat, Oprah said something unfriendly.
"Feng, I know you have many identities, but in the United States, the most successful and well-known company you founded is NEXTDOOR. However, I regret to tell you that I am not yet a member of NEXTDOOR website,"
I just knew it was.
ps: A group has been established, 454, 231, 228, everyone is welcome to come and give more valuable opinions. I look forward to having the opportunity to communicate with you!
