America's Road to Fame

Chapter 30 The Oprah Show
Another point is that Garrett never thought that William Chen really cared about his so-called false name, because what he said described in his words that after they controlled Building No. 666, through development and operation, the shares held by William Chen Those value-added things are really not taken seriously by him.Then how could William Chen agree to give up the controlling stake and hand over Building 666 to the Kushner Group.

In the eyes of the Kushner Group, William Chen is their prey; but in the eyes of William Chen, Kushner is not a prey at this time.The two of them looked at each other and each had their own thoughts. This time they had a conversation, they were destined not to reach a unified opinion.Chen William believes that Garrett will never give up, and the two will have a meeting and conversation next time.

When Garrett left, William Chen checked the time, and he was about to leave for Oprah's interview.Before leaving, he saw that Joss was still in the company. When he saw William Chen, Joss came over and said, "Mr. William, all of us agree to join your company, and we will call you Boss in the future."

"You are welcome to join, Joss, you will not regret this decision, trust me. Let's all take a good rest today, and starting tomorrow, we will conduct a new operation."

After confirming this matter, William Chen's mood improved a lot.Today, Tom drove over to pick him up, and after sitting in Tom's Chevrolet SUV, he heard Tom say: "This time, Oprah attaches great importance to your interview, so she brought a team here and rented a studio in New York to record you." The interview. It’s not far from here, she just called and said she’ll be ready soon.”

"Garred just talked to me about something, or I could have come down earlier."

"It's okay, it's still early." Tom said casually, suddenly realized something, and asked, "Is Garrad Kushner? What did he ask you for?"

"You know, they bought the shares of Building 666 in the hands of Andal Trust Fund, and today they asked me to buy out the shares in my hands. I will definitely not agree."

Hearing what Chen William said, Tom was relieved a little, but Chen William continued: "But that guy still didn't give up, and proposed another plan, preparing to inject 30 billion U.S. dollars into shares from the Kushner Group to promote the reconstruction of the building. The building will be built to 1400 feet. I think their intention is to get a controlling stake in the building through capital injection.”

"Your father had similar thoughts before his death. After all, Building 666 has been built for more than half a century. Such a good location, if the space can be expanded, will greatly increase income, and it can also become a landmark building on Fifth Avenue." Tom said with reminiscence in his eyes.

"I know this, so I won't agree to the Kushner Group's plan. Don't worry, Uncle Tom, I will personally come and make this building a New York landmark."

Tom heard the words, nodded, and said: "If there is such a day, your parents will be proud of you in heaven, William."

The Oprah Show is very popular in the United States, and there will be celebrity interviews. Oprah will sit with the other party and have a chat. Because of her affinity, many people will honestly talk about their thoughts or life.

After Tom introduced Oprah to William Chen, her first words were: "William probably needs no introduction, who in America would forget such a handsome face."

"Thank you for your compliment, Ms. Oprah. I also think that Uncle Tom's introduction is a bit redundant. After all, there are many people who don't know me, but I'm afraid even those people will be very excited to see Ms. Oprah in person. .”

For William Chen's compliment, Oprah seemed very happy. She is a middle-aged black woman with a plump figure, and she really feels like a spring breeze in her speech, which is really well-deserved.

Afterwards, Oprah briefly told William Chen about the process of the show. There were audiences at the Oprah Show interview. After Oprah finished her opening speech, William Chen would be invited to the stage. The two of them The individuals sit side by side and start a conversation.

There was no rehearsal for this interview in advance, but when Tom communicated with her, he would delineate the general topic of the conversation with her.However, Chen Weilian knew that there would definitely be some random questions during the period. At that time, he needed to test his ability to change randomly.

When Oprah entered the studio and William Chen was waiting in the waiting room at the side, there was also a camera filming him. At this time, he was standing in the waiting room, trying to stabilize his emotions, although his predecessor I have experienced all kinds of big scenes, and I have always been used to living under the spotlight, let alone an interview with a national audience.

But Chen Weilian's current soul is the first time to record this kind of program. It would be a lie to say that he is not nervous. He can only try his best to adjust his emotions now.

When the director came to inform, William Chen knew it was time for him to play.He walked into the studio from one side, and immediately saw that the lights were bright, and the audience was full of audiences. He could even hear Oprah's voice from the arena before he came on stage:

"Let us welcome today's guest, Chen William, who has become popular at a young age with his unparalleled handsome face, but has recently transformed into the youngest newspaper owner William Chen."

Just like that, William Chen entered the stage accompanied by roaring applause from the audience, interspersed with a few piercing whistles. This kind of scene is really embarrassing.

But at this time, William Chen didn't have time to make any other expressions. He walked onto the stage as calmly as possible, waved to the audience, and saw Oprah walking beside him, and said to him, "Welcome!" Came to the Oprah show today, William, let's sit down."

"I'm also very happy to be here. I'm a loyal viewer of Oprah's show. I'm very excited to be here today." William Chen sat on the sofa with Oprah while talking about the scene.

"It feels like you are a little reserved and nervous today. This is not like you, William. To be honest, I have seen you on TV many times. At that time, I couldn't help but think, this handsome young man is really born Stars, you are so free and easy at any time." Seemingly aware of Chen William's slightly nervous mood, Oprah made a joke first.

"Oh, then I guess the reports you read may not have any good things to say." Chen William shrugged and said, his words made the audience burst into laughter, and seeing Oprah also smiled, William Chen continued:
"But frankly speaking, I'm really a little nervous today. After all, you know, I haven't faced a camera for a long time. During this time, I've been living a life similar to that of a monk, so I'm inevitably a little uncomfortable."

"Speaking of which, I believe that many viewers at the scene and in front of the TV will be curious. It seems that apart from the occasional reports in the tabloids and the big news a while ago, we haven't seen William Chen on TV for a long time, and we haven't seen you on TV for a long time. Reports about the movie came out, so can you tell me, what have you been up to lately?" Oprah followed William Chen's words and started the topic.

"I've been in New York recently, and my life is quite regular. I run in the morning, then go to work or study in the company, and then go home to exercise and sleep at night. I feel great living a life similar to many office workers."

"Maybe many people heard what William Chen said, and like me, their first reaction was: Oh? Is this the William Chen I know? With all due respect, this is the first time I saw the news about your morning run in the newspaper , I also bet my friend that this guy can last for a few days. Unexpectedly, almost a month has passed, and you are still running in the morning. Although it is not good to say this, but I do have to tell you, William, you caused me to lose ten. Dollar."

Oprah's words caused a burst of laughter again, and William Chen shrugged with a smile and said, "Then I'm sorry, but I hope you don't make the same mistake again."

"Yes, after this lesson, I have given up the habit of betting with others." Oprah raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm curious that you mentioned in your conversation just now that you were Study, can you talk about what you are studying? About acting?"

"Oh, Oprah, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. Perhaps the biggest thing I've learned about acting is the fact that I don't have acting talent. It's a bit late, but for many viewers in the United States, It's not too late, is it?"

Chen William's self-deprecating words once again made the scene burst into laughter.He shook his head and said, "Guys, at least save me some face, okay?"

“Actually, I recently took a course on economics. Many people may not know that my undergraduate major at UCLA was business administration. Now, barring accidents, I will enter NYU in the fall, I am studying a master's degree in economics. Therefore, I would like to remind the audience again, you can rest assured that I will stay in New York most of the time in the future, and I should rarely go to Hollywood."

After saying this, he looked at Oprah and said, "Dear Ms. Oprah, if you can show a little disappointed expression at this time, I'm afraid I will feel better."

"Well, I'll try," Oprah said with a smile, and then she made a look of disappointment that seemed slightly exaggerated.Then he said: "William, I really tried, although it was a bit difficult for me."

Then, Oprah faced the audience, spread her hands and said, "I am already doubting whether the person in front of me is the real William Chen. Who would have thought that one day, someone would tell you: William will insist on running in the morning every day, and Still working on my homework, preparing to go to NYU for a master's degree in economics. My God! Can you believe it? The thing I'm most curious about is William, we can all see that you have changed a lot now from before , this change can even be said to be subversive. So, what caused you to make this change?"

"If we talk about the reason, all of this probably stems from my previous accident. Many people may know that more than a month ago, when I was attending a party in Hollywood, I suddenly passed out. Of course, the reason I won't hide it either, because I drank a little too much at the time..."

Looking at Oprah's half-smile expression, William Chen intentionally collapsed, spread his hands and said, "Well, it was a lot, I can't remember how much I drank at that time. At that time, I was even It was the closest I've ever been to dying in my life. Literally. My agent, Uncle Tom, even signed the critical illness letter for me at that time and did Well, I was ready to never wake up. Fortunately, I survived that time. Since then, I have reflected on my past. The feeling is indescribable, and I said to myself: William, it’s time to do it. It's changed."
