Chapter 74 I Can't Talk Today
In the studio hall, soft lighting and soothing music make the scene very comfortable.
Cao Yu was sitting on one of the two high stools in the studio. Sitting across from him was the host of the program, a host whom Cao Yu had never seen before but was somewhat familiar with, Sa Beining, who famously said that Peking University was okay.
Sa Beining's height was the same as Cao Yu remembered from his previous life, about 1.6 meters tall. Seeing this, Cao Yu looked at the high stool under him.
I don’t think this high stool was specially designed by Sa Beining so that he and the guests could talk at eye level!
Well! Cao Yu nodded when he thought of this, thinking that this was very possible.
Cao Yu here was thinking so 'dirtyly', and Sa Beining over there laughed "hehe!" at Cao Yu while sitting on the high platform with a "slightly difficult" and somewhat funny action due to his height.
After sitting on the footstool, Sa Beining nodded to Cao Yu.
Sa Beining's actions reminded Cao Yu of Zhu Ziqing's prose called "The Back" that he had learned when he was at school in his previous life, in which there were some descriptions of his father climbing the platform to buy oranges.
"Then let's get started, how about it?" Sa Beining asked Cao Yu.
"Listen to Teacher Sa." Cao Yu politely raised his hand and replied.
Sa Beining heard this title from Cao Yu's mouth that he had never heard before - Teacher Sa. After thinking about it for a while, he found that this title made him feel neither humble nor arrogant but also slightly close. It was a very appropriate title, and he couldn't help but look at it in surprise.
After one glance at Cao Yu, I felt that Cao Yu was quite good at speaking!
"What kind of teacher is there to talk about?" Sa Beining replied humbly, and then continued: "Then today's official program will begin."
After Sa Beining said this, the red lights on many cameras in the studio instantly turned on, which meant that the show had officially started filming. Seeing this, Cao Yu also adjusted his posture.
"Hello, viewers, this is China Television's movie section, inviting you to watch blockbusters. I am the host Sa Beining, and this is our guest today. Come and introduce yourself."
The opening remarks were still very clichéd, but with Sa Beining's mouthful of words that Peking University was not bad, the clichéd introduction also had a playful flavor, making it seem less cliched.
After Sa Beining finished his opening remarks, a camera immediately turned to Cao Yu. Cao Yu didn't panic when he saw the camera turned around. After all, he didn't know how many such programs he had already appeared on, but he was generous.
Fang De waved to the camera and said hello, "Hello everyone, I'm Cao Yu."
Cao Yu's self-introduction was very brief. Sa Beining was a little surprised when he heard it. He thought Cao Yu was a talkative person based on the name Cao Yu just called him, and thought that Cao Yu's self-introduction should be richer.
Even Sa Beining was prepared that if Cao Yu's self-introduction was too long, he would have to adapt to the conversation. He didn't expect Cao Yu's self-introduction to be so simple, just introducing his name, which caught him off guard.
However, Sa Beining's on-the-spot reaction was still very quick. After Cao Yu finished speaking, he just hesitated for a moment and then hurriedly responded: "Most of you in the audience are meeting Cao Yu for the first time, so you may not know much about Cao Yu. I will give you the details here."
Let me introduce.
Cao Yu, male, Chinese, was born in Huizhou in 1984. At the age of fifteen, he was admitted to King's College London, majoring in film and television, and made his official debut at the age of seventeen.
Now he has starred in two Hollywood movies, one of which was "The God of Death", which was released in mid-2001. The North American box office reached 200 million US dollars, and the global box office reached 400 million US dollars.
This is already great, but something even more powerful is yet to come. Cao Yu’s other commercial blockbuster [Spider-Man] will be released simultaneously in North America and some regions around the world in early October.
It has only been less than a month since its release, and the global box office has already grossed one billion US dollars. At present, "Spider-Man" has surpassed "Jurassic Park", which ranks second in film history.
Everyone is certainly familiar with "Jurassic Park". This is the masterpiece of the world's great director Spielberg. Now Cao Yu is coming to our show because "Spider-Man" will be released in China soon. I hope everyone will go to the cinema to support it.
"
Sa Beining's narration, called an introduction, was actually a compliment to Cao Yu's expression, and also promoted Cao Yu's movie "Spider-Man".
Cao Yu felt a little blushing, so he couldn't help but put his hands together in a gesture of thanks, and said, "Thank you everyone."
If Sa Beining's words only made Cao Yu blush, then Sa Beining's words were like a tsunami-like impact to many viewers at this time.
Want to know what was popular in China at this time?
The popular ones are Deep Love in the Rain, Xiao Shiyilang, Qin Qin Ji, Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan, Mansion Gate, Oolong Breaks the Love Story, Meteor Garden, Jay Chou and Fan Xiteri's Double Chapter, these things.
As for the level of work [Jurassic Park] is, very few people in China don’t know.
This sudden appearance of a movie starring a compatriot actually pulled down world-famous director Spielberg's "Jurassic Park". This news is simply exciting.
After watching this opening scene, the audience was so shocked that they couldn't take their eyes off the TV. And there were many, many, many viewers who had such a reaction.
In addition, China today mainly relies on television in terms of media, and China Television is the leader in it.
It can be said that with just these few words, Cao Yu's reputation in China has already begun to establish a high-end image in the ears and minds of many Chinese people.
The show continues.
"This is not an exaggeration, I just read it according to the information." Sa Beining joked at Cao Yu mischievously.
How could Cao Yu answer this? He could only smile and be reserved.
Seeing Cao Yu's performance, Sa Beining also knew that he couldn't talk about Cao Yu's glory all the time, as that would make the show a bit boring. Only ups and downs can be interesting.
Moreover, Sa Beining also knew that the audience would probably become more curious about some of Cao Yu's specific circumstances after listening to his introduction, so Sa Beining corrected his attitude and continued to talk to Cao Yu while taking care of the camera.
"Brilliant achievements will always come with sweat. Cao Yu, do you have any sighs when you have reached this point?" Sa Beining asked.
"Hmm~"
Cao Yu was thinking about whether he should answer honestly, or choose an answer similar to Mr. Alima who doesn't love money, Mr. Wanda Wang's small goal, and Peking University is okay, and Sa Beining's answer.
After thinking about it for a long time, Cao Yu finally decided to choose the latter. There are not many opportunities to show off in front of a national audience, and there are even less opportunities to pioneer this kind of answer.
Maybe I can take advantage of this opportunity and occupy an all-star position in the ghost zone of Station B in future generations. There is no reason to let it go.
"Actually, there are a lot of sighs." Cao Yu first paved the way for himself.
"Oh! Let's see." Sa Beining didn't know that he had fallen into the ditch at this time.
"The first thing I lament is the regret about going to school!" Cao Yu said with a pretentious sigh.
"How do you say this?" Sa Beining felt a little strange. Didn't Cao Yu go to university in the introduction just now? It was a good university, University of London, world-renowned. He had no idea that the danger had quietly arrived.
"My academic performance abroad was pretty good at that time, so once the school organized an event to prepare for the college entrance examination in advance, and I went to participate in it when I had nothing to do. The standard age for taking the college entrance examination abroad is eighteen years old, and I was only fifteen at the time.
.
As soon as the results were announced, the results were mediocre, three or four points away from the admission scores of Cambridge and Oxford. It was enough to go to the University of London, and I could still get a scholarship.
I originally wanted to take the exam again next year, but something happened at home, so I wanted to save some money for my family, so I went to the University of London.
In fact, at the beginning, I went there with the intention of learning a professional skill that could make me money. When I saw the name of King's College London, I heard that I could make a lot of money, so I enrolled in this college.
I didn't expect that this college was actually engaged in film and television. As you know, the film and television industry was not as popular as it is now. People of the older generation like my parents were not very optimistic about this industry.
It is also for this reason that I have not dared to tell my parents that I studied film and television abroad. I only told them that I went to King's College. I want to say sorry to my parents."
Cao Yu said this and bowed to the camera, while Sa Beining couldn't close his mouth when he heard this. He had the urge to curse or hit someone brewing in his chest.
Is this what people say?
You took the college entrance examination in advance and got a score that was only three or five points away from the admission score of the first or second best school in the UK. You actually said that your score was average. In your mind, in addition to the first place score, the second place score is not good!
I went to the third-ranked school in the UK, and I actually said I regretted going to school.
This isn't the end yet.
Sa Beining summarized the following words of Cao Yu into one sentence.
This sentence is, I want to make money and become a boss, but by mistake, I become a world star by acting.
Damn it, who is it?
The way Sa Beining looked at Cao Yu was different at this time. His eyes were full of that kind of, I didn't see it, you are actually a little expert at hitting the wall.
Chapter completed!
