"Dear Yu, welcome to the North American Online Super Interview Live Show, welcome to our show————"
The day finally arrived for the live interview program that had been arranged with the TV station.
Yu Zhen arrived as promised and met with the sharp-tongued host, Weber, in the studio.
At this time, the program's production team had secretly started the live broadcast process without informing Yu Zhen at all. This was taking advantage of Yu Zhen's ignorance of what a live television broadcast was all about.
Meanwhile, the notoriously sarcastic host, Webber, was still relentless. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he immediately began setting a trap for her.
"Before we actually met, the TV station staff, including my close assistant, had already met with you twice to discuss and frankly advise you on some points to note during the live interview. We openly mentioned that there would be some very harsh, interrogative questions during the program. Here, I would like to remind you again that you are really afraid of these interrogative questions and want me to avoid them as much as possible during the interview, or to make my approach more gentle, is that right?!"
They've already started a secret live stream, and now they're even going to pretend to confirm it in person again, expressing their so-called concern.
The intentions of the program team were utterly despicable.
The notoriously sarcastic host, Weber, was making a crazy gamble, betting on human weaknesses, betting that Yu Zhen, this pitiful writer from a distant, backward, mysterious, and primitive Eastern country, had no idea what a live television interview was, and betting that Yu Zhen was even less aware that the live interview had already begun.
He wanted to let hundreds of millions of television viewers see the "persona image that Yu Zhenben should have" concept that they had been cultivating for a long time.
Indeed, for hundreds of millions of North American television viewers, and even throughout the Western world capable of receiving live television signals, what people generally want to see is Yu, a science fiction writer with a powerful and influential reputation in the world literary scene. The "Yu the Great" persona they desire is far from being righteous, generous, or positive. They simply want the world to know that even such a prominent figure in Eastern culture is actually a coward, a so-called cultural celebrity deliberately packaged by the Eastern world—
There's nothing I can do!
Yu Zhen never intended to listen to the television media circle, cooperate with them, or perform on stage according to the script they had pre-set.
If that's the case, then isn't the goal to manipulate you in a way that leads to your downfall?
As for Tang Jinmao and his small, emerging capital, they haven't yet reached the level of the substantial capital behind television stations.
In particular, Tang Jinmao and his gang actually dared to use a so-called "century record" and ten English songs that they had somehow obtained to forcibly create a persona of a Western pop music master for this Eastern writer.
This is another trick that forces a "persona" on people.
They couldn't make it work.
Why does Tang Jinmao have the audacity to try and steal it?!
At this moment, Yu Zhenzhen was truly unaware that the live interview program had been secretly started in such a shameless manner. This was mainly because the other party had no bottom line, and also because he genuinely didn't quite understand the current live broadcast mechanism of television stations. After all, the piles of equipment he could see in front of him were all outdated antiques compared to those he had the chance to see in another time and space.
"Mr. Weber, you have your own hosting style. As for the fact that two groups of staff, including your assistant, came to your door to declare how malicious your style is, that you specifically target the guests' psychological weaknesses and shortcomings, and that you want to expose their vulnerabilities, making the guests feel like they are sitting on pins and needles on the show, as if they have been stripped naked and displayed to the world in public—"
"What you want to know is whether I can accept this kind of interview format, and whether there is any deliberate avoidance or avoidance—"
""
"Haha, the answer I need to tell you is—"
There's an old saying in the East: "If you hear a toad croaking, you won't plant any crops."
"Ha, this is my official reply to you!"
The atmosphere at the scene became tense and subtle.
Mr. Webber, known as the world's most outspoken host, was taken aback by such a response, especially since Yu Zhen used an Eastern proverb in his reply. Although Yu Zhen's response was translated from English, it was difficult to fully grasp the deeper meaning of these words.
Well----
I'm truly sorry!
Even as the so-called world's most outspoken host and a renowned cultural figure, Mr. Weber, with his limited brain capacity, couldn't immediately grasp whether Yu Zhen's expression was good or bad.
This is incredibly embarrassing.
He can't even understand what they're saying, yet he dares to call himself the world's most sarcastic and outspoken host?!
"Excuse me, but could you please rephrase this? Tell me directly: do you want me to avoid this during the live interview, or do you want me to be fearless of any of my questioning or interrogation methods? Hmm, to better accommodate the understanding of our television viewers, please refrain from using old Eastern proverbs. A simpler, more direct answer would be best, the most appropriate response for a live broadcast. Thank you!"
The other party deliberately brought the topic to this point.
Yu Zhenyao still couldn't react. The other party had already secretly started the live interview process. He was too slow to react and deserved to be tricked.
But Yu Zhen still pretended not to know that the live interview had already started.
He laughed and said, "Sir, your words of advice are insulting the intelligence of hundreds of millions of television viewers in North America, aren't they?!"
You actually doubt the intelligence of the very viewers in your country who are your most devoted fans of your live television programs?
With such a low level of education, they simply couldn't understand such a simple Eastern proverb or metaphor.
OMG, my God, dear Mr. Webber, thank goodness our live TV interview hasn't started yet, otherwise, if I were to refute your mindless claims on the show, how heartbroken would your millions of TV viewers be?!
Look!
Listen to our absolute favorite host, Mr. Webber, the world's most scathing commentator!
In his mind, we poor TV viewers who have always unconditionally trusted him and given him the most support and trust are actually just ignorant and brainless idiots, super idiots who can't even understand a proverb that a three-year-old Eastern child can understand!
Your Excellency, really, how could you so mindlessly question your television viewers, suspecting them of being intellectually deficient and unable to understand even the simplest Eastern proverb?
Your Excellency, please put your hand on your heart and swear to God, in your heart, are the average television viewer in North America really that despicable?
Webber, the world's most scathing critic, was now ashen-faced. Damn it, the live television broadcast had already started, and their conversation had been shown to hundreds of millions of television viewers in North America.
He's finished!
