My Attic Connects To Other Worlds - Chapter 114
After setting foot on American soil, Wang Huan’s first feeling was: Ignore!
He was completely ignored.
In China, he is a super celebrity and a national hero.
But in the United States, no one knew him.
Of course, his reputation is still great, because there are too many names on his head.
Domestic violent men, personally sent his wife to prison, super doping users, burlesque actors and so on.
But what is famous is his name, not his face.
When foreign media publish his photos, they usually capture a certain hideous moment.
In the moments of the Olympic Games, the expressions are basically ferocious.
So when Wang Huan appeared in front of the Americans with a peaceful face, no one knew him.
In China, as long as he shows his true colors, countless people will ask for a group photo, ask him to sign, and countless people will scream.
But here.
Completely ignored.
No one knows you at all.
When passing the customs, the staff thought about his name for a while, and then knocked a chapter.
………………
After going out of customs.
Wang Huan instantly felt the long-lost enthusiasm frenzy.
Hundreds of people came to greet him outside, waving flags and holding signs with his name written on them.
“Boss Wang Huan, welcome to the United States.”
“The kingdom of Wang Huan, the American branch, welcome your majesty’s arrival.”
Of course, this is only part of it.
There is another part of the brand, which is very uncomfortable.
“The ugly medicine jar, the ugly country, the ugly devil.”
“Joker, go back to your country and don’t come to defile America.”
“You will be cursed!”
And all the people holding signs are Chinese faces, because this place is the stronghold of anti-China in the West.
This group of people hates China even more than the Americans.
The people who came to meet Wang Huan were also overseas Chinese. In their hearts, Wang Huan is a hero, especially the miracle that Wang Huan created in the Olympic Games is also a great encouragement to them.
“Mr. Wang Huan, I am Li Changsheng, the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in New York. I welcome you to New York.” A middle-aged man stepped forward and shook hands with Wang Huan.
Wang Huan stepped forward to shake hands with him.
“Please get in the car, we have prepared a banquet for you.” Li Changsheng said.
Wang Huan got into an extended Cadillac, and the convoy left the airport in mighty force and headed to Chinatown.
………………
After entering Chinatown.
Once again, Wang Huan received an extremely warm reception.
At least a few thousand people came to greet him, lion dances, and firecrackers.
Although it is not as good as in China, it is definitely full of colorful flags.
The banquet was held in Jinfeng Restaurant.
A total of more than 500 people participated in the reception banquet, all of whom can be regarded as representatives of overseas Chinese with good looks.
After eating, Li Changsheng took Wang Huan to his mansion.
“Mr. Wang Huan, first of all thank you. The miracle you created at the Olympics made me a lot of money, a lot of money.” Li Changsheng said: “So during your stay in the United States, I will use the most enthusiastic Treat you in a way, and send someone to protect your personal safety throughout the process.”
Wang Huan said, “Thank you very much.”
Li Changsheng made a pot of tea and said, “Please.”
Wang Huan picked up the tea and drank it.
Li Changsheng said: “As an individual, I welcome you very very much. But as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I actually don’t want you to come.”
Wang Huan did not speak, but listened quietly.
Li Changsheng said: “You don’t know the United States. You don’t know how difficult it is for a Chinese to get ahead in the United States. You have a lot of prestige and influence in China. In the United States, not only do you have no prestige, but you are minus.”
“Not only you as an individual, even the whole of China, you don’t have much sense of presence in the United States.”
Wang Huan knows this is true, after all, this is 2004.
“This time, we actually invited a lot of people, including the richest Chinese, and some well-known Chinese actors, but no one came.” Li Changsheng said: “We did it at the airport and in Chinatown. It’s a very big scene. But maybe you don’t know that, except for a few people, most of them are small restaurant owners. Well-known Chinese in the United States are actually drawing a clear line with you.”
“Did you know? There were also famous domestic actors or artists visiting the United States before.” Li Changsheng said: “We are also in charge of receiving. In the photos and videos, the scenes are also very vigorous. But it is also our group of people. Every event is losing money and spending money to invite people to show off. Any cultural output and a sensation in the United States are all fake. It is our group of people who are entertaining ourselves.”
This is very ridiculous, but it is also true.
Li Changsheng said: “This time you come, we will also arrange the scene beautifully. Guarantee the crowds, and then take a few photos and send them to the domestic media, you can explain to the country. As for how much you spend, you Don’t worry about it, we’re willing to help you ask for the money. But let me be honest, these activities have no influence on the United States at all, and there will be no Americans even caring about these activities. We are entertaining ourselves. When it comes to travel for a period of time, come happily and walk happily.”
Wang Huan said: “President Li, have you seen my domestic press conference?”
Li Changsheng said: “I have seen it, conquer America. But I won’t take it seriously.”
Wang Huan said, “You even think of him as a joke, right?”
Li Changsheng said: “You don’t know the United States, so it is understandable to say this.”
Wang Huan said, “Do you think it is impossible?”
Li Changsheng said: “It’s totally impossible. I wouldn’t use it to describe it as difficult. Do you know Phillips, do you know Lucas? They are top Olympic stars, but their glory is only in the Olympic Games few days. Most of the next day, they have no influence, no better than baseball stars, no better than NBA stars.”
What Li Changsheng said was the truth.
There are top musicians, top actors, top stars, top writers, and top directors in the United States.
The top group of people monopolizes the voice of various industries.
At least in 2004, there was not a single Chinese mixed up.
Not a single Chinese has a high right to speak in these fields.
There are still rich Chinese people, and even business is still very large, worth billions of dollars.
But almost without exception, they are all Chinese Americans from the other side.
Their attitude towards the country is very cold, and they ignore Wang Huan even more.
Li Changsheng said: “Mr. Wang Huan, what you said at the domestic press conference that you want to conquer the United States is a joke? Or is it true?”
Wang Huan said, “What do you want to say?”
Li Changsheng said: “If it’s a joke, we are willing to cooperate and spend millions of dollars to help you create a big show, crowded with people, so that the domestic audience will be satisfied. But if you are true, then please forgive us for nothing.”
Then, Li Changsheng said: “Can I ask specifically, how do you plan to conquer the United States?”
Wang Huan said: “Who is the top singer in the United States? Who is the top pianist in the United States? Who is the top writer in the United States? Who is the top fighter in the United States? Who is the top director in the United States? I want one Challenge them and defeat them.”
After a pause, Wang Huan continued: “My first plan is to conquer Broadway and conquer Americans in high-class music. I will also publish a Chinese-themed novel to challenge the Nebula Award, the top literary award in the United States. Hugo Award.”
In an instant, Li Changsheng stayed.
Wang Huan’s early routines are quite normal. The old social martial arts gymnasium was like this.
Came to the local area, found the strongest person to compete, defeated this person, and became famous.
but……
This is not just madness, but complete ignorance.
Are you an athlete?
Want to conquer America in high-class music?
You are not good at English, but you still want to publish Chinese literature to conquer America’s top literary awards?
Do you want to compare the piano with the top pianist in the United States?
Do you know what the movie is about? Even challenge the top director?
Li Changsheng felt that what he saw was a madman, a madman through and through.
After a long while, Li Changsheng said: “Mr. Wang Huan, I respect your achievements very much. I am also willing to pay out of my pocket to help you give a few vigorous speeches in the United States. But I cannot dance with a lunatic, I I still need to do business here. Next, I will still treat you warmly and send the best bodyguards to protect your safety. But for other things, please forgive me for nothing. I hope you have a good meal and fun in the United States.”
“I booked a suite for you for two months at Baorui Hotel. You can stay as long as you want.”
In fact, Chairman Li Changsheng wanted to let Wang Huan live at home from the beginning.
But now I decided to let him go to the hotel, and even decided to stay away from this person a little bit.
He is patriotic, but not a lunatic.
………………
Wang Huan lives in the suite of Baorui Hotel.
Almost as soon as he landed, he was seriously frustrated when he conquered the great cause of the United States.
Here he is very small.
There is no sound even. The Chinese have their own newspapers and even their own TV stations here, but the influence is very small, and the audience is only Chinese.
And these newspapers and TV stations are absolutely unwilling to go crazy with Wang Huan.
Wang Huan wants to have a voice in China. It is very simple. Any TV station can be his mouthpiece.
And here!
He could not make any sound.
Wang Huan has contacted the top Chinese newspapers and TV stations in the United States.
No one is willing to make a statement for him.
So Wang Huan appeared in the New York Times Building.
A certain editor-in-chief received him.
“I want to make a statement.” Wang Huan said.
The editor picked up a pen and said, “Please tell me, Mr. Wang Huan.”
Wang Huan said: “Mr. Pavaroni is the world’s top tenor and the king of Broadway theaters, right?”
The editor-in-chief said: “Of course, as everyone knows.”
Wang Huan said: “I want to invite him to perform together. We will sing on the same stage and present an opera feast for the people of New York.”
The editor-in-chief said: “Mr. Wang Huan, do you want to have an opera performance with Mr. Pavaroni at the Broadway Theater?”
Wang Huan said: “Yes.”
The editor-in-chief said: “If I am not mistaken, you have said that you want to conquer the United States. Then you put the world’s first tenor Pavaroni as your first challenger? You choose Tenor singing as a field to conquer America?”
Wang Huan said: “Yes, because the voice is loud and high, everyone can hear it.”
The editor-in-chief stared at Wang Huan with a serious face.
Then finally couldn’t help it, and burst into laughter, and the coffee in his mouth spurted out.
“I’m very sorry, I know I’m not serious, but I can’t help it.” The editor-in-chief said: “Mr. Wang Hua, in the New York Times, I am the most Chinese and very friendly. I have studied in China for a few years. , I am a Chinese expert, and my Chinese is also very good, so I will send you to receive you.”
Having said that, he couldn’t help laughing again, and covered his stomach.
“Sorry, sorry, please give me three minutes.” The editor-in-chief clutched his belly and laughed constantly: “Hahahaha…”
After laughing for almost two minutes, he desperately held back, and continued: “Mr. Wang Huan, I understand that before you participated in the Olympics, you had performed a talk show, and the effect was very good. But… do you know opera? This is The highest music hall in the world, every tenor singer has passed decades of study and performance, and Mr. Pavaroni is the king of tenors.”
“You, a burlesque, an athlete, are going to challenge the highest position of the world’s most elegant music?”
“Mr. Wang Huan, you know that you have a very bad reputation in the United States.”
Wang Huan said, “Would you like to speak up for me? I think it should be possible. After all, this is very gimmicky and very eye-catching.”
The editor-in-chief said: “You know that the “New York Times” is very fair and authoritative. It is absolutely impossible to publish such a reputation as a farce for you. It will tarnish our image. But the “New York Sun” can and is very willing to do it for you. Publish this fame.”
The New York Sun is the most typical penny newspaper. It pursues excitement and has a low style.
………………
Soon, the “New York Sun” published Wang Huan’s challenge book.
Chinese athlete Wang Huan invited Pavaroni, the world’s number one tenor, to perform a feast on Broadway.
This is the original text.
This news is really full of curiosity, and it is full of eyeball effects.
Soon, countless lace newspapers were reprinted.
Many entertainment news are also broadcast.
But the content is no longer that Wang Huan invited Pavaroni to perform on Broadway.
Instead, he became a Chinese doping champion, a sprinter, challenging Broadway, and challenging the world’s number one tenor.
Here, Wang Huan really became Don Quixote who rushed towards the windmill.
Many people saw this news.
Most people dismissed it.
Because of the hype trick, it is not very common in China, but it is seen too much in the United States.
Every day there are countless people desperately hyping, desperately selling ugly Bo out of position.
But as a Chinese, Wang Huan is also an Olympic champion and sprinter.
Therefore, his reputation is completely popular.
Makes his already terrible reputation, to the next level.
If before, he was a villain who sent his wife to jail, a stimulant athlete, then his reputation now makes him a clown.
“It’s ridiculous, we actually criticized this man very seriously.”
The most famous talk show lady in the United States said in the program: “From now on, I will not criticize this person again. Because this has completely turned into a farce, a clown-like farce.”
“Perhaps our New York Circus really lacks a clown, just one of the best from China.”
And Chinatown, which was enthusiastic about Wang Huan, suddenly became embarrassed.
Is this Wang Huan so unreliable?
As an athlete, you come to the United States. You are not better than sports, but you are better than opera?
Come to challenge the world’s number one tenor?
Too frivolous, really like a clown.
Do you know what opera is?
Have you ever sang a song for a day?
……………………
Pavaroni, the world’s number one tenor, did not respond.
However, Broadway Theater responded.
“I’m very sorry, this is a paradise for art, not a circus. We don’t welcome clowns.”
This is no longer a refusal, but a feeling that I have been greatly insulted.
Immediately afterwards, another theater publicly invited Wang Huan in the newspaper.
“Our theater welcomes Mr. Wang Huan to perform.”
I checked this theater and found that it was performing a cyan performance.
I often act and start to take off my clothes. And not only cyan, but also various curious performances.
An odd-looking freak.
Either it is a normal person, performing certain performances that challenge the bottom line.
………………
Ten days passed.
Wang Huan’s great cause of conquering is still not advancing.
His statement was issued and it caused a huge sensation.
But it has become a huge farce and a laughing stock.
He wanted to show his talents, but he couldn’t find any stage.
Not only does Broadway feel that it can’t afford to lose this person, even all TV stations and all the high-end stages feel that they can’t afford to lose this person.
But Wang Huan prepared for this opera performance for a long time.
Not only changed his own voice, but also allowed Future Technology to completely transform his own voice.
And accepted the essence of the entire opera civilization of another world.
Even Wen Mingxing engraved the rhythm and skills of opera singing in his brain.
And also learned the resonance and rendering skills of future acoustics.
Many classic masterpieces that are not available in this world are also prepared.
In the Tower of Doomsday, he trained countless days and nights, because the time scale inside is different from reality.
The power of future technology makes his tenor full of incomparable penetrating power.
Amazing.
Together with another world’s most classic works.
That kind of shock is unparalleled.
But unfortunately, he couldn’t find the stage.
Otherwise, it will definitely overwhelm the audience.
Because what Wang Huan learned was not only singing, but also a powerful acoustic force field.
He did not choose pop music.
When he came to conquer the United States this time, he chose very elegant and highly civilized forms.
Of course, there is absolute power.
He only needs a stage.
……………………………………
Wang Huan came to Rockefeller Center.
He entered another media giant in the United States, NBC Television.
Now there is a block program, which is becoming popular on NBC TV, and it will be popular all over the world.
That is “America’s Got Talent”.
This is actually a grassroots show, all kinds of grassroots come to the stage to show their unique skills.
There are all kinds of performances.
As long as it attracts attention, as long as there is unique skill.
However, singing programs are not very popular here.
In another world, “Britain’s Got Talent” became popular with an aunt Susan, but it was in 2009, and her song “I Had a Dream” became popular all over the world.
But overall, her popularity is not entirely dependent on her strength, more is her grassroots identity, plus the contrast effect of the opera’s tall.
In the other world, the popularity of the talent show of all countries was in 2006.
But in the world of Wang Huan, “America’s Got Talent” has been popular for two years.
Now NBC TV’s “America’s Got Talent” is even more popular all over the world.
Wang Huan could not find the stage.
So, I found it here. Although this is a grassroots stage, it has enough influence and amazing ratings.
Moreover, he prepared another opera that is the most classic and most shocking in the world, but not available in this world.
Because the show is so popular.
Therefore, NBC TV station has to go through a lot of interviews before each program.
Experts from all over the world have come to NBC TV to follow their dreams.
Of course, it is not the ability to be on the show with unique skills.
It’s okay to show one’s ugliness.
As long as it is curious enough, it will be full of ugliness, and you can also be on the show and be seen by countless viewers.
There was once an overseas Chinese youth who performed an extremely embarrassing and terrible singing. As a result, he became popular because of this ugly attitude, and even participated in a Hong Kong movie.
Of course, this kind of embarrassing popularity was only a short period of time, and soon disappeared.
……………………………………
NBC TV, “America’s Got Talent” interview scene.
The Big Three, the American’s Got Talent judges, are watching the performances of talents one after another.
In general, most of the performances are terrible and can be called the scene of a car accident.
“Next person.”
Wang Huan appeared in the vision of the Big Three.
One of them scratched his head and said, “You seem very familiar.”
Wang Huan said in Chinese: “My name is Wang Huan and I am from China.”
Soon, a judge remembered the face of Wang Huan.
“Wang… Huan, super doping champion, athlete who wants to challenge the world’s number one tenor…”
“It’s so interesting.”
“Wang, aren’t you going to Broadway? Why did you come to the stage of our American Got Talent?”
Wang Huan did not speak.
The Big Three judges stopped laughing and said, “Mr. Wang Huan, you are an athlete, whether or not you have been injected with stimulants. But it has nothing to do with opera performance. Do you know what an opera is? Do you know what a tenor is? “
Wang Huan did not answer.
In fact, he can now fully understand English, because he has accepted the heritage of the world’s major languages and civilizations in the Tower of Doomsday.
But he communicated in Chinese from beginning to end.
Not hypocritical, nor arrogant, but gimmick.
He is creating a character for himself.
I was in the United States. I didn’t speak a word of English and spoke Chinese throughout the whole process, but I was still able to conquer the United States.
What you want is this impression.
“You don’t know English? My goodness, is there anything more ridiculous in the world than this? A man who doesn’t understand English at all came here to conquer America?”
Next, the TV station invited an interpreter.
“Mr. Wang Huan, what is your purpose in coming to America’s Got Talent?”
Wang Huan said: “Broadway does not accept my performance, so I came here, I want to stage an opera feast for the world, and I want to challenge the world’s number one tenor here.”
After Wang Huan finished speaking, the three big judges burst into laughter again.
“Mr. Wang Huan, you really are a comedian. Even if you don’t understand English, you know how to make us laugh.” The first judge said: “Of course Broadway will reject you because it is an elegant art palace, but here, even if It’s a show of ugliness and we welcome it too, Mr. Wang Huan, then please start your performance. May I ask what repertoire you are performing?”
Wang Huan said, “My Sun.”
