The program atmosphere of "The Erin Talk Show" is very relaxed. The host and the guests sit opposite each other, and everyone seems to be chatting with each other every day. There is no need for too much pressure or scruples, and it is easy to open up.
Eileen first asked: "Mr. Lu Chen, do you have an English name?"
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "You can call me Dan."
"Dan?"
Erin's eyes lit up: "Breaking Dawn? Well, I like this name!"
She continued to ask: "So Dan, can you tell everyone your age?"
"Of course, I know this is a very sexy question, but before the recording of the show started, many people asked me to ask you this question. I think they are all your fans!"
Eileen used "them" instead of "them", which caused the audience to laugh knowingly.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "There is nothing to hide, I am 25 years old this year."
"25 years old..."
Eileen showed a look of reminiscence: "The most beautiful age in life!"
"I was thinking about what I was doing when I was 25 years old. Well, at that time I had just joined the New York TV station, and I was looking forward to becoming a TV director one day."
"But so far, I haven't realized my wish!"
The audience laughed.
If Erin really realizes her dream, it will probably be the biggest loss for New York TV.
Aileen asked Lu Chen: "Dan, it is said that you are a singer?"
Lu Chen nodded: "Yes."
Erin: “Still an actor?”
Lu Chen: "Yes."
Erin: “And you wrote the script yourself?”
"yes."
"..."
The talk show host asked several questions in succession. After getting a positive answer from Lu Chen, she was satisfied to introduce Lu Chen's identity to the audience, as well as the latter's status and reputation in China.
Many people in the audience originally only knew Lu Chen as the hero who saved flight UD725, but they had no idea that he had so many identities and was a well-known star in China.
Through such straightforward communication, everyone had the most intuitive understanding of Lu Chen from China, letting them know how extraordinary Lu Chen was. Then the topic turned to the flight ud725 incident that everyone was most concerned about.
Although the truth about the flight UD725 incident has been completely exposed, and Lu Chen was interviewed by many media at the press conference, the official reporter's interview is obviously different from the current conversation.
Irene's point of view was not to dig out more details or inside stories, but to seriously discuss with Lu Chen his thoughts when he faced the crisis and his psychological changes after getting through the crisis.
Interestingly, Irene also asked Lu Chen about his views on the United States.
One of the biggest features of "Eileen's Talk Show" is that there is no script. As a guest on the show, you have no idea in advance what kind of questions Irene will ask on the show, and there is no prompting board.
In this interview show that will be watched by tens of millions of Americans, Lu Chen's performance is impeccable. He answered Erin's questions fluently in English. Although he didn't say much, he was humble and
Decent and occasionally humorous.
This made the atmosphere at the scene very good, and the audience applauded, smiled and laughed from time to time.
Many viewers were really surprised because what they saw in Lu Chen was a Chinese that was very different from what they were used to. Lu Chen was young, handsome, handsome, frank, generous, and spoke fluent English.
Erin asked: "If a Hollywood film company now invites you to shoot a film, will you stay and work in the United States?"
Lu Chen smiled and said: "I am very willing to cooperate with Hollywood film companies, but for now, I still have TV series to finish filming in China, and I also have movie plans this year, so I have no schedule for the time being."
"Actually, I hope to have my movie released in the United States!"
Erin smiled and said: "Then I'm looking forward to that day to see you on the American screen!"
Lu Chen: "Thank you!"
At this moment, a note was passed up from the audience and delivered to Irene by the on-site assistant.
This is another feature of "The Erin Talk Show", that is, the audience can write small notes to ask questions to the guests. Of course, the question notes must be screened by the staff first, and there is also a limit on the number.
Aileen opened the note and looked at it, then said to Lu Chen: "This is a request from an audience member. He saw your video on the Internet and thought that your singing was very good, so he wanted to invite you to attend."
I want to sing a song here, do you think it’s okay?”
Lu Chen thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, can you find me a guitar? An ordinary one is fine."
Eileen smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem!"
She gestured to the staff on the sidelines, who quickly took the guitar.
Lu Chen moved his chair and turned to face the audience.
He held the guitar and pondered for a moment, and then said: "There is a proverbs in my country, that is, when you go to a place, you should respect the customs and habits of this place, so today I will sing an English song."
Even Eileen was surprised by this.
"The Erin Talk Show" has invited many singers, including rock, folk, country, rap, etc., many of whom sang a song live.
Aileen knew that Lu Chen was also an excellent singer, but he was Chinese and it really took a lot of courage and confidence to choose to sing in English on "Aileen's Talk Show" instead of his native language with which he was most familiar.
Isn't he afraid that if he sings poorly, others will laugh at him?
But the experienced Irene did not show any signs of strangeness. Instead, she applauded Lu Chen with a smile on her face: "I think this should be a very special song."
Lu Chen said seriously: "I want to use this song to pay tribute to my favorite Evans Joyce, and thank him for the great works he created and for accompanying me through the most difficult years of my life!"
His words made the audience stunned, and then they burst into warm applause!
Evans Joyce is the greatest folk singer in American history. He has released 5 albums in his lifetime, each of which has sold more than 35 million copies, with total sales reaching 275 million, second only to Blue Sky Band.
Evans' ballads have influenced an entire generation of Americans, and he is also one of the country's favorite foreign singers. When Lu Chen was in college, he listened to several of Evans' albums over and over dozens of times!
However, this great folk singer passed away due to drug abuse in 2007.
