After talking to Tom Hanks very happily for more than ten minutes, several Hollywood celebrities came to greet him, and Chen Feng could only be polite to these foreigners out of politeness.

After Tom Hanks said goodbye, Chen Feng had almost eaten and planned to leave. But before leaving, Chen Feng still greeted a few people at the same table politely. Then, Adams was notified by phone. He couldn't leave for the time being, so let Chen Feng go first.

Ang Lee, Chow Yun-fat, Bao Dexi, Tim Yip and others all heard the news and sent Chen Feng to the door, they also wanted to leave, but as the biggest winners of this year's Oscars, it was not good for them to leave early before the end of this banquet, because it was very impolite to do so.

"Chen Feng, remember what you promised me, as long as I find a good script, I will call you. Li An was very reluctant to take Chen Feng's hand and admonished.

And Fa Ge also said with a smile next to him: "Chen Feng, remember to call me during the summer." ”

Coco Li didn't say anything, but his eyes looked a little sad, and Chen Feng couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

"Chen Feng, remember to keep in touch. Ang Lee reminded again.

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, and then turned around and walked away, accompanied by Huang Yong and Zhang Guoqiang.

Looking back on this starry night, Chinese filmmakers and musicians seem to have been in the limelight, whether it is Ang Lee's graceful smile, Michelle Yeoh's dazzling cheongsam, Coco Lee's singing and dancing performance, Yo-Yo Ma's deep and moving piano voice, Long's fresh and natural impressive guitar playing, or the glass artwork of Taiwanese artist Yang Huishan in the gift basket, all of which strive to show the charm and charm of the Orient.

This year's Oscars Gala can almost be said to be a Chinese-style performance. Because of the sudden rise of Long, a Chinese genius boy, coupled with the current award of the Chinese film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", one in the field of music and the other in the field of film, the two seem to have gained a voice for Chinese culture in the world at once. It marks the official invasion of Chinese culture into the native American culture.

What is special about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is that it is a very oriental Chinese film that Hollywood accepts, and even the actors' dialogues are in Chinese, and when it is screened in the United States, it is all subtitled. And this "unintelligible" film for most Americans actually set a good box office record in the United States, and became one of the films competing with "Gladiator" at this year's Oscars. So far, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has become the highest-grossing foreign film in U.S. history. It can be said that this kung fu film directed by Ang Lee is a concentrated reflection of the Asianization of American culture. In recent years, Asianization has become a spectacle of American society: the marriage of East and West has led to the rapid penetration of Asian culture into all corners of the United States.

As for Long's songs, although Long himself is Chinese, the songs he sings are still original English songs, not Chinese songs, in essence, the songs he sings cannot have any impact on American culture, but because of his person- For the sake of a Chinese, countless long fans are trying to start to understand China, so as to better understand long, which can be seen from the recent news, many Americans are now beginning to learn Chinese, and have plans to travel to China. And Xiuzhou, a prefecture-level city that has not been included in the list of national civilized cities in China for so many years, does not have too much cultural heritage, nor too many tourism resources, but since the first half of this year, the tourism industry has suddenly become thriving, and the number of tourists has increased by at least two times compared with the same period last yearThe movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is even more effective in "cultural invasion".

Of course, there will be those who think that all of the above Asianization expressions are superficial and do not change the status of Asians in the United States, and many Asians are still excluded from mainstream American society. But many Asians believe that this trend is positive and subtle. And now because of the representative star of Long, the mainstream society in the United States will definitely begin to face up to Asians, or Chinese.

According to the editors of America's leading Asian-American magazines, Americans love things with Asian flair, from food to everyday items such as paper lanterns, geta, and even tai chi patterns for tattoos. In big cities like New York, Asian features are present everywhere. And even in the most remote towns, it's not hard to find Chinese restaurants. Many cultural critics in the United States pointed out that this is just the beginning, and with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", especially with the influence of the idol star of Long, a pure Chinese, this kind of Asianization of Cheng Dù will inevitably deepen further.

The permeability of this culture is more evident in young people, who like to eat spring rolls, watch Japanese anime, and listen to long songs. It's not hard to imagine that when they had purchasing power, they would practice yoga, travel to Japan, and collect Chinese landscape paintings.

More and more universities are offering Asian departments, more and more high schools are offering Japanese language classes, and more and more Asian students are enrolled in schools. The total number of Asians in the United States is now close to 12 million, and that number is expected to increase by 2003.

All this qiē happened mainly in the 90s. From the prevalence of Buddhism, the opening of the Chinese market, and the rapid increase in Asian immigration, Americans are aware of the depth of Asian culture. And now because of the emergence of the magical boy Long, Asians or Chinese can be better and faster accepted and recognized by American society.

At the same time, this fusion of East and West is becoming more and more evident in the United States. One example is that Jackie Chan's image will be one of the toy people given away by the Burger King chain, and Long's poster is now a collection for many Americans, and his autograph is regarded as a treasure.

In restaurants, noodles sell just as well as spaghetti. On the pie duì, the host is most fashionable to offer the "horse to the chicken" service to the guests, rather than the French chef who has been brought in. At the same time, concepts such as "acupuncture" and "feng shui" are no longer unfamiliar to many Americans. Ten years ago, those words would have only left Americans in the clouds.

Although films like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" seem to be specially made for the West, they cannot reflect the image of Chinese, and what attracts Americans is only flying eaves and walls, bamboo branches and fighting swords, but in any case, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is still accepted by the United States and is very popular, which is much better than being ignored.

In the face of the strong rise of the Chinese teenager Long in the American music scene, many media in the United States have now equated him with the "invasion" of the United States by the British Beetle band in the 60s.

You know, the Beatles are undoubtedly the greatest, most influential, most popular, and most successful band in the history of pop music. This band has made a very great contribution to the development of rock music around the world, influencing the music and ideas of several generations of rock bands since the 60s, directly affecting the transformation and development of rock music, and in the UK, they have influenced the formation and development of almost every band from the 60s to the present. In the '60s, they led a vigorous wave of musical culture invasion known in the United States as the "British Invasion", which fundamentally attacked the foundations of American music and completely buried Elvis Presley The dynasty that dominated the American record market and influenced the development of American pop music since then, and the impact on the impact of the American record industry can still be found today, 40 years later.

Compare Long with the great band of the Beatles, although it is still a little premature, but there is no doubt that Long has the qualifications and capital, his first single set a sales record for singles, and the first album broke several records that were previously called legends, and once again created a legend that belonged to Long. Especially the last demonstrations in the United States, let people see Chen Feng's terrifying influence among the American people. No matter how many people are jealous, no matter how many people are envious, no matter how many people are jealous, Long, a Chinese teenager who is only 16 years old (one year old), has become the most popular international superstar in the world today.

When Chen Feng's motorcade returned to the Four Seasons Hotel, he saw a sea of fans, and the car couldn't drive in at all. You know, it was almost eleven o'clock at this time, but looking at the number of people at the scene, there were three or four thousand people.

By the time Chen Feng and the others realized that something was wrong, their convoy had been surrounded by many enthusiastic and even crazy fans.

The shouts of "long!long!" came and went, rolling up waves of sounds. It is difficult for the cars of the convoy to move forward, or to retreat.

Seeing this, the police who opened the road and guarded the road in front hurriedly contacted the headquarters and asked for support. And they also got out of the car one after another for the first time, and the riot police even split the crowd waves, and even used batons to disperse the enthusiastic fans who were surging around Chen Feng's car, the extended Rolls-Royce, and even Chen Feng saw a male fan in his twenties being beaten to the ground by a rough explosion-proof policeman with a baton, which shows that the view that the American police have always enforced the law in a civilized manner is obviously wrong, and it also depends on when, just like it is obviously impossible to make them civilized now. These policemen treated his fans so rudely and savagely, which made Chen Feng very unhappy, but he also knew that the other party was protecting himself by doing this, after all, so many people surrounded them, and this courtesy car didn't seem to be equipped with bulletproof glass, if someone took a gun and shot into the car, the people inside, including Chen Feng, were very dangerous. Thanks to the efforts of these riot police, after a few minutes, they finally formed a shield wall around Chen Feng's car, which was able to withstand these enthusiastic fans.

Not long after, more police officers came to the scene, and after more than ten minutes of busy work, they opened a way for Chen Feng's courtesy car and let the car drive to the door of the Four Seasons Hotel.

At this time, at the gate of the Four Seasons Hotel, there were twenty or thirty security guards alone, and there were more than a dozen policemen, looking at them all with a stern and even nervous and tired look, obviously these enthusiastic fans made them a little unbearable.

As soon as Chen Feng got off the courtesy car, he heard a commotion at the scene, screams and shouts suddenly rang out, and the magnesium lights flashed non-stop.

Chen Feng just turned around and waved to the crowd with a smile, and then hurried into the hotel gate under the escort of bodyguards.

As soon as he returned to his bedroom, Chen Feng made a transatlantic call to his family. Who knew that the phone at home didn't work, and it didn't work to call my father's mobile phone, and I finally got through after calling the old ** mobile phone.

As soon as Zhao Xiaolan opened her mouth, she said very excitedly: "Xiao Feng, I watched your performance at the Oscars today, and the English song you sang is very good, and everyone says it's good." You have won glory for us Chinese. Mom really didn't expect you to be so promising. Today's phone at home has been ringing non-stop, and your father's mobile phone is the same, all of them have called you to praise you, saying that you have given us a long face Chinese, hehe...... Mom is really happy today, with such a promising son as you, Mom will be blind even if she closes her eyes now. ”

"Mom, it's good, why do you say unlucky things?" Chen Feng scolded slightly, "No matter how good I am, I am also your son, and I was raised by you." ”

Zhao Xiaolan, who was already happy, smiled even more happily when she heard her son's words.

"Mom, I'm fine here, and you're worried. Now it's evening, I'll fly back tomorrow afternoon, and I'll be home the day after tomorrow, you tell Dad. Otherwise, there's nothing else to do, I'll hang up first. ”

"Wait a minute. Zhao Xiaolan hurriedly said.

"What's wrong?" Chen Feng asked in surprise.

"That's right. Zhao Xiaolan said, "In recent days, Mayor Liu has just led a team to visit Los Angeles, and I heard that he intends to form a friendship city with Los Angeles, but the current progress is a little unsmooth, so your father wants to ask you to help, and wants to ask you to temporarily join their delegation to visit Wèn and attend a dinner party inviting Los Angeles government officials, what do you think?"

Chen Feng didn't expect Liu Yongsheng to be in Los Angeles now, so he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, but he quickly said: "Okay, when are they going to have a banquet for government officials in Los Angeles." ”

"I think it's just a few days. As long as you agree, Mayor Liu will call you personally, so for the time being, you should stay in the United States, and you should contribute to our hometown in the next few days. ”

After listening to the old ** words, Chen Feng could only smile bitterly, thinking that it was not necessary to contribute to his hometown, but it was very likely to contribute to the officials. But Chen Feng also knows that the relationship between this Mayor Liu Yongsheng and his father is extraordinary, and it can be said that it is related to his own family, so it is nothing to help him.

"Okay, Mom, got it, I'm hanging. ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Feng hung up the old ** phone, and then dialed the international call to Hongye.

The phone rang, and it was connected.

As soon as Hongye opened his mouth, he asked: "Xiao Feng, I'm reading the news report of this Oscar on the Internet now, you seem to be walking the red carpet with Coco Li, did you know each other before?"

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Of course I knew her before, there are not many people who don't know her as a big star in China, and I am also a big star now, of course she also knows me." ”

"You hate ...... You know what I mean......" Momiji said with some dissatisfaction.

Chen Feng explained with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, I didn't know her before, and this time on the red carpet, I usually have to be a male and female partner, so the company gave me a few candidates, and it just so happened that Coco Li was among them, after all, she is Chinese like us, so I chose her as a female companion." ”

"Oh, that's right. I thought you'd known each other before, but the way she held your arm seemed very affectionate. Momiji said with jealousy.

Chen Feng smiled, Hongye began to know how to be jealous, which was not bad news for Chen Feng. Her jealousy means that she cares about him very much, which is better than what she has been ignorant before.

"It's normal to hold hands with each other on occasions like this, you don't have to think about it. ”

"I don't think much about it, I'm afraid that these women will think too much, they can't wait to have an affair with you, just like the female model who shot an advertisement with you last time, she became famous by having an affair with you...... Such a woman is really brazen. Momiji said with some pouts. The last time the Italian female model Isabella and Chen Feng had the news of the scandal, it was a few days ago that her tablemate Zhang Shuxin privately sued her, and she only knew, until he found a photo of the foreign female model and Chen Feng embracing each other enthusiastically from the Internet, she was very angry at the time, of course she knew that it could not be Chen Feng and what she had to do with her, but that the foreign woman brazenly wanted to use this to hype herself up and improve her popularity, and later she also saw Cao Yunfang's solemn statement issued for Chen Feng, the Italian female model therefore lifted a stone to shoot herself in the foot, and even the endorsement contract signed with Armani Company was also lost。 She wanted to call Chen Feng to question this matter and ask about the specific situation at that time, but then she thought that if she did this, it might cause Chen Feng's disgust, so she had to suppress it temporarily, but she still had some nostalgia for this matter in her heart. Therefore, today's reason is naturally said.
