Rebirth in America

The topic of the interview is still "The Carpenters" and the show picks up where it left off. Most of the programs in this era are pre-recorded and then broadcast, and there are very few live programs. The host was still Jane Murray. When he was backstage, he first apologized to the Carpenter family. After he got up, everyone just chatted casually as if they were having a normal time.

The host's ability to control the scene is very strong. Whenever everyone wants to go off topic, he can always come back.

Alex sang "AnAngel" live, and Richard also sang "Mama Said"! The two performed very well on the spot and there were no problems.

This kind of live performance is as easy as breathing for the Carpenter brothers, who have been performing on stage since they were four or five years old.

"Wow! Wow! All I can say is wow!" The host clapped quickly after they finished their performance and said, "I am shocked by you, you are really amazing."

"Thank you! Thank you everyone!" Brother Carpenter said with a smile.

"Alex, how did you write so many wonderful songs?" The host looked into Alex's eyes and asked, "When I was your age, I could only play in the mud with my friends!"

Everyone burst into laughter again, and then the laughter gradually subsided. Alex said: "Playing in the mud? I wanted to play too, but my friends thought I was too good, so I had to go home and write songs."

This made everyone smile, and then the host asked seriously: "Seriously, do you have any tips for writing songs? Or secrets or something like that? Can you share it with everyone?"

Alex replied: "When I was bored, I closed my eyes and listened to the voice in my ears, and the song came. When I heard it, it was a song I had never heard before, so I wrote it down. .This is my secret to writing songs!”

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable!" the host said with his eyes widened and looking at the people around him.

Bart shrugged and said, "Yeah, every time I see him writing songs, he always looks like he's closing his eyes and dozing off."

Richard and others also nodded in agreement. They didn't know that Alex was using the "retrospective" ability. If he was watching the memory bank video, he would have to close his eyes. In his words, this is because there is too much information to process, and closing your eyes is to reduce the incoming of external information.

The host touched his chin, looked at Alex and said: "There are rumors outside that your IQ is very high, twice as high as ordinary people! Is this true?"

Alex spread his hands and said: "Since it is a rumor, you have to ask the person who said the rumor. If you ask me, I can only say that I have no comment!"

"Haha!" The host pointed at Alex and laughed: "You are indeed very smart, but I am fully prepared today. I have a special guest, Professor Sawyer from the University of Chicago!"

Bart and the others did not expect to meet Professor Sawyer here. When they first looked at the program schedule, they did not see this link. What is even more annoying is that Professor Sawyer did not keep his promise and leaked the Carpenter brothers' privacy without authorization.

In fact, after Alex applied for a bipolar transistor patent, various gossips were already circulating. However, Alex was not mentioned by name at that time. It just means that there is a child near them with a high IQ, as smart as Leonardo da Vinci.

After the Carpenters' second album hit the market, the rumors became more and more concrete and people were already linking them together. At that time, Bart and the others thought that another professor accidentally let the news slip, but they didn't expect that it was Professor Sawyer. But think about it, Professor Sawyer was so active in helping Alex because he wanted to study IQ issues.

He has hidden this matter for so many years, what does he want to do now when he comes out?

"Hello everyone, I am Professor Sawyer, now working at the University of Chicago."

When Professor Sawyer looked at the Carpenters, his face showed embarrassment. He walked a few steps faster and came to Alex to hug him.

Alex couldn't help but give up in public, so he could only give Professor Sawyer a gentle hug.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to leak it to you." Professor Sawyer whispered in Alex's ear: "My IQ test research was seen by them and connected you."

Is this really the case? Are there no other factors at play?

Alex was a little unsure whether what Professor Sawyer said was true or false. However, he also knew that too many people knew about this matter and it would be leaked sooner or later.

He thought for a while and decided not to break up with Professor Sawyer. He smiled and said, "We'll talk about it after we get down!"

Professor Sawyer stopped worrying about this matter. He hugged everyone else one by one, and then, under the guidance of the host, told the story about the IQ test he had given to the Carpenter brothers.

Everyone was very interested in this kind of story and listened to it with gusto. After the test results came out, some people did not believe that the value was correct, so they started arguing. At this time, everyone present was made to laugh.

After the host finished laughing, he quickly asked: "They should believe it now, right? The Carpenter brothers have achieved so much success now. If they are not geniuses, then no one is a genius."

Everyone listened and agreed. From the Carpenter brothers, they did see unusual talents.

"Their outstanding performance today proves that my research results are correct! I think it is necessary to promote this testing method nationwide in order to identify gifted children so that the national society can provide excellent education for such people. . Only in this way can we Americans truly improve the quality of our people."

Professor Sawyer did not forget to sell his ideas on the TV show. His remarks were eventually edited out by the director and were not broadcast, but they were published in the newspaper.

"Wow! My brother Alex has an IQ of 220, and my brother Richard has an IQ of 180! Both of their IQs are higher than Einstein's 160!" the host exclaimed, "Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter, you must A few more!"

Both Bart and Angel burst out laughing at the host's words. Bart smiled and said, "Three is enough, three is enough!"

Angel also smiled and hugged his daughter Karen tightly and said, "Yes, raising this little guy is giving us a terrible headache. How dare we raise a few more!"

The host turned to the two-year-old Karen and said, "Little sister, would you like to have a younger brother or sister to play with you?"

Karen blinked and said, "No! I don't want a younger brother or sister to compete with me for food! It would be great if I had an older brother, who would give me something to eat."

Everyone laughed when they heard Karen's cute answer.

Alex and Richard performed very well. They were not afraid of the cameras surrounding them, and they were as relaxed when facing the host as if they were old friends.

Under the guidance of Jane Murray, Bart and Angel recalled their shock when they learned about the two brothers' musical talents, as well as the origin of the first record, etc., while Alex and Richard talked about their first The scene of the first performance and the problems encountered when creating music were filled with laughter and laughter during the period.

"So Mr. Bart, do you plan to train your daughter to be a musician in the future?" the host asked, and at the same time he made a face at Karen in Angel's arms.

Karen, then two years old, had no idea she was on a TV show and stared at the host with wide eyes. After a long time, I didn't realize that I had become the center of the conversation. I was still hiding in my mother's arms and looking around.

After listening to the host's question, Bart chuckled: "It depends on whether she is interested. If it is possible, I still think she can also embark on this path."

The host shrugged, put the microphone in front of Karen, and asked, "Little Karen, will you become a singer like your brother when you grow up?"

"Yes!" Karen replied angrily, and she also sang a few lyrics, which surprised everyone.

"Oh my God, little Karen's singing voice is no worse than that of the two older brothers!" the host exclaimed loudly.

Alex said: "Of course! We plan to form a band in the future! When the time comes, people all over the world will come to listen to our singing!"

The host heard this and thought it was a gimmick, so he chased the Carpenters and asked about the band.

"Alex and Richard, have you ever thought about working with your sister in the future?" the host asked the two brothers next to them.

"Of course, we are all looking forward to this day." Alex said seriously.

"Then the name of our group should be 'The Carpenters'!" Richard said with a smile.

"Then I hope you grow up soon, little Karen!" The host teased the innocent and cute Karen with a smile, but accidentally scared her so much that she hid in Angel's arms.

"Haha!" Everyone laughed when they saw this scene.

"Oh! Salla, oh oh!" Karen suddenly turned his face and shouted an unknown words in the host wow wow.

"Wow! Is this singing? This is singing!" The host looked surprised and shouted to the others.

"Haha!" Everyone in the audience laughed loudly.

"I heard that Alex also wrote a book, which has been published and is selling well?" the host asked.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Alex to see how he would answer.

"Yes, let me correct you. I not only wrote one book, but the second one has been handed over to the editor and is being printed!" Alex replied calmly.

The host was obviously slightly shocked: "You also wrote a book? What's it called?"

"This book is the sequel to the previous book, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," and it's called "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." Interested readers can buy a copy and have a look. However, everyone says that my The book is only suitable for children. If you are too old, you can buy it as a gift for your grandchildren. Mr. Murray, you should have children at home. I suggest you buy a copy." Alex spared no effort. He promotes his books to others.

"Haha! Alex, I will definitely buy a copy!" the host said.

The interview went smoothly and the time was over soon. Host Jane Murray shook hands with Carpenter's family one by one and said goodbye, even little sister Karen shook hands with him.

"She will definitely become a great singer in the future!" he said.

Of course, Karen Carpenter was the most popular singer in the United States in the 1970s!

Alex said silently in his heart that he knew very well the "future" of his little sister!

This interview program will be included in "Daily Interview", UU Reading www. uukanshu.net It will be broadcast next Monday at 9pm on New York Radio.

According to estimates from the marketing department of Carpenter Records, this interview can increase the sales of the Carpenter Brothers' current albums by 15%, and will also be of great help to the upcoming third album.

The impact of TV interviews on record sales is not intuitive; it’s just a bunch of data. However, what the Carpenters experienced firsthand was that shortly after the TV broadcast, they were constantly recognized by strangers as they walked down the road the next day.

"Hey! Those are the Carpenter brothers!" Some passers-by would say to those around them when they saw them.

Some people came over to strike up a conversation, and more people came to say hello. They asked the Carpenters to sign and leave messages. Even Bart and Angel were chased for autographs, and even the little sister Karen was asked by several companies to shoot commercials. Now the whole family is a star.

Professor Sawyer seemed to want to come over and talk to them, but he could not get through, and the Carpenters' attitude towards him was extremely cold. Professor Sawyer stood aside and hesitated for a while, but finally left. He has his own goals and will never back down because of criticism from others. Over the years, countless people have ridiculed and suppressed him, but he has survived them all.

"Look, I must find a way to prove that my theory is correct. The world needs people like Tesla. Only in this way can people like him truly make the world develop by leaps and bounds."

Professor Sawyer is gone, nowhere to be found, perhaps searching for his own path.
