Chapter 82 CCTV Interview
The next day, the principal sent Chen Feng an official reply from the higher authorities, agreeing to Chen Feng's request that they donate 5 million yuan to the Yuhua Education Foundation before the opening ceremony of the Games.
Chen Feng is naturally not afraid of their debts, but what makes Chen Feng feel a little interesting is that one of the organizers of this year's Provincial Middle School Games is the Provincial Department of Education, and he is the highest yamen responsible for the province's education work, and in turn donates money to the Yuhua Education Fund to support education. I don't know if the officials of the Provincial Department of Education have thought about this problem, but this is not what Chen Feng cares about.
Chen Feng is now more concerned about the 73rd Academy Awards ceremony that will be held this year, the last time he was in Hong Kong, he promised the Oscar organizing committee that he would go back to participate in this year's Oscar awards ceremony, with the attached condition that he could give awards to the Chinese, and more clearly put forward the hope that he could give awards to Ang Lee, the director of the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" film that was selected for multiple awards this time, of course, the intention was to give "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" momentum, and although the organizers of the Oscars did not give Chen Feng a clear answer, they also implicitly euphemistically accepted this condition that was not a condition.
As for the request to perform at the Oscars, Chen Feng also agreed, and even chose the song he wanted to play and sing this time, that is, the classic country song "TravelingLight" (travel lightly) that he had performed for his classmates at home last time, which was very suitable for guitar playing and singing. The Oscar organizers have called Cao Yunfang several times in the past few days, hoping that Chen Feng can fly to Los Angeles in the United States two days in advance. Chen Feng, on the other hand, delayed until March 23 on the grounds of going to school, and there were only two days before the Oscars Gala on March 25.
This day is March 23rd, Friday, Chen came home after school, as soon as he entered the house, he saw a lot of people in the house, one of them was shooting with a camera on his shoulder, and a middle-aged woman who looked a little familiar was holding a microphone to interview her parents , Chen Feng remembered that it seemed that the last time he was in Hong Kong, he also agreed to CCTV's request for cooperation in filming his own series of feature films. I didn't expect them to come to the house at this time.
As soon as Chen Feng came in, everyone released it, and the host couldn't help but be overjoyed at first sight, so he quickly paused the interview, stood up, and took the initiative to introduce Chen Feng who came closer: "Chen Feng, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, I am Jiang Sumei, a special reporter of CCTV, and I am also the planner of the series of feature films "Chen Feng - A Chinese Legendary Teenager". ”
This Jiang Sumei is about forty years old, with fair skin and good maintenance, Chen Feng didn't expect that in addition to being a reporter, she was also the planner of her own feature film, so she also politely reached out and shook her hand, nodded and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Xiao Feng, come here, introduce a few guests to you. Chen Dayong beckoned to Chen Feng, pointed to several official-like figures next to him and introduced, "This is Zhang Shanyong, director of the Municipal Propaganda Department, Feng Songying, director of the Municipal Education Bureau, and this is the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau...... You have to call these uncles. ”
Chen Dayong introduced five or six government officials in one breath, among whom Feng Songying, director of the Bureau of Education and Chen Feng, knew each other, and the two had met at the last city games, and Chen Feng had a general impression of him. Chen Feng was really a little surprised in his heart, it seemed that CCTV came to his house for an interview this time, and it was not about these government officials, but several people came at once.
"Hello uncles!" Chen Feng greeted these "official masters" politely.
"Okay, good!" At this time, several "official masters" seemed very kind, kind, by the way, it seemed that the photographer was shooting.
"Chen Feng, last time you were very satisfied with your performance at our city games, I said at that time, you are the pride of our city's middle school students, but I didn't expect that after only one year, you have become the pride of our people across the country, helping us Chinese win the Grammy Award, raising our Chinese morale, and making our Xiuzhou people have a bright face. Feng Songying looked at Chen Feng with appreciation and relief, her eyes were full of kindness.
Propaganda Minister Zhang Shanyong took over the conversation: "Well, Chen Feng's achievements today are obvious to everyone, and I want to say that the reason why he is so good is inseparable from the cultivation of his parents since he was a child." Chen Dayong and his wife are worthy of learning from our parents across the country and even the world. ”
Chen Dayong and his wife listened to the heart although very useful, but also deserved it, to be honest, their baby son has been worry-free since he was a child, learning or something, never need them to supervise anything, very conscious, the reason why he can achieve such good results today can be said to be completely his own efforts, and they have nothing to do with their parents at all. Of course, even if they say this, outsiders don't necessarily believe it, they just think they are humble words.
Jiang Sumei was a little unpretentious about the few bureaucrats at home, but turned to Chen Feng with a smile and said: "Chen Feng, this time we just finished the interview in your hometown, and I heard that you are about to fly to Los Angeles to participate in this year's Oscars Gala, as an award presenter and performer, so we plan to go to Los Angeles with you, and we can also conduct a personal interview with you, what do you think?"
"Yes, I'm planning to fly to Shanghai early tomorrow morning and fly from Shanghai to Los Angeles. If you have anything to interview, you can do it now?" Chen Feng said very generously.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to do my first interview with you now. Jiang Sumei said very excitedly. Today, unlike in the past, Chen Feng was just a famous "junior sports star" at the Municipal Games, but now he is a magical singer who is famous all over the world, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a genius. How many news media around the world want to interview him, but they have not succeeded, it can be said that she Jiang Sumei is the first person to interview Long face-to-face so far.
Chen Feng sat down on the sofa casually, looking relaxed and natural, on the contrary, Jiang Sumei, the reporter, was a little nervous, and hurriedly memorized the interview questions that she had memorized countless times, and then took a stool, sat down in front of Chen Feng, and after making up her mind, she officially picked up the microphone and conducted a formal interview with Chen Feng.
"Chen Feng, some time ago, we have been conducting on-the-spot interviews in Yuyang Town, your hometown of Hengyang County, and have excavated some past and interesting stories about your childhood. According to one of your classmates, when you were in the first grade of elementary school, you got into a fight with someone on the first day of school, is there such a thing?" Jiang Sumei's first question was not very sharp, but it was not ordinary. If Chen Feng wants to answer this question, he will inevitably involve his fiancée Hongye. However, Chen Feng didn't care about this, after all, people all over the world now know that he already has a fiancée called Hongye.
Chen Feng nodded, and admitted calmly: "There is such a thing, at that time, the specific situation is like this, I clearly remember that day I was in class on the first day, and then, the teacher assigned seats to our class, I happened to be separated from a female classmate, we both chatted very well, and soon became friends, after class, I took her to the commissary to invite her to eat, but there were a lot of people at that time, so I asked her to wait at the door now, and I squeezed in to buy it alone." But when I came out of shopping, I saw several senior classmates pulling my female classmate's pigtails, and made her cry, out of righteous indignation, but also out of friendship between classmates and friends, I went up to reason with those seniors, but they still laughed at me, and wanted to teach me a lesson, in desperation, I just had to defend and counterattack, and hit one of the leading seniors. That's it?"
This matter belongs to the "secret news", except for a limited number of people present, they all don't know, and they can't help laughing when they hear it.
Jiang Sumei also smiled and said, "Chen Feng, this female classmate you are talking about, is she Hongye, that is, the current fiancée that you publicly admitted?"
"Yes!" Chen Feng nodded again.
"Hehe, Chen Feng, according to this classmate of yours, the senior you taught at that time was two years older than you and two grades higher, right?
Chen Feng didn't expect Jiang Sumei to talk about this issue for so long, and said a little perfunctorily: "I didn't think much about it at the time, I just felt very angry, and then they wanted to teach me a lesson, so I taught them a lesson." ”
When Jiang Sumei heard this, she then asked: "According to the older generation in your village, when you were a child, you were very naughty in the village, and you were the king of children, and you often took the children of the same village to wander around, and you also fought with your peers in other villages, is there such a thing?"
Chen Feng couldn't help blushing slightly when he heard this, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "This statement is also not true, I am wandering around with children from the same village, but fighting with children from other villages is completely out of the competitive nature of children, and the fight is a battle of honor, that is, who fights more than whom, which village fights more than which village, not specifically to bully talents to fight." ”
"Oh, I see. Jiang Sumei suddenly realized, "I also thought at the time, even if you were naughty when you were a child, you wouldn't do anything specifically to bully people, and I believe that your fans won't believe this." Then she smiled and said: "I also heard from the locals in your hometown that when you were a child, you were a famous local 'fighting king', and with all your strength, children who are two or three years older than you often can't beat you, nicknamed 'Chen Dali', right?"
Chen Feng nodded a little embarrassed again, thinking that it seems that CCTV is also very gossipy, and even dug up such a "trivial matter" as when he was a child.
"According to our interview, when you were in the fourth grade of primary school, you were kidnapped, and then you were rescued after a gap of more than ten hours, can you tell us about what happened at that time?" Jiang Sumei quickly emphasized after asking, "If you don't want to say it, it's okay." ”
"There's actually nothing bad to say about this matter, when I was just kidnapped by those two people, I was very scared, I remember that they locked me in the basement, was blindfolded, gagged my mouth, I thought that I was lucky enough to be lucky, but then the few thieves were their own infighting, and then fortunately my cousin Zhao Shaoxiong brought people to arrive, found the abnormality, subdued the last bandit, and rescued me. This incident left some shadows in my heart later, but now I have completely overcome it. ”
"Thank you, for your answer, I think most people can relate to your fears at that time. And I heard that after you were rescued, you began to follow a veteran's elder for rigorous training, and many people in the village saw you, no matter the wind or rain, every morning with your elder for long-distance running and all kinds of military special training, is there such a thing?"
There is no need to hide this, and there is no way to hide it, Chen Feng generously admitted: "Yes, this elder of mine, he used to be a Vietnam War hero, named Huang Yong, and my father is a good friend, so it can be said that he is my own uncle." ”
"So is it because of the solid foundation you laid during that time? ”
Chen Feng agreed: "Well, I think so too, if it weren't for the strict training that my uncle gave me at that time, I wouldn't have been able to have a stronger physique than ordinary people and make some achievements in sports." ”
"I heard that you did very well in sports when you were in elementary school, and you broke the county record in the first grade, is that such a thing? And this should be before you train with you. ”
Chen Feng couldn't help but smile and said: "I have some talent in sports, but in my opinion, the most important thing is the training the day after tomorrow." ”
Jiang Sumei nodded, and then asked, "I heard that you will participate in the Provincial Middle School Student Games held in Donghai Province in May, do you have any confidence in this?"
"Of course I had the confidence, otherwise I wouldn't have attended. Chen Feng said very confidently.
"Well, I wish you good results in this year's Games. Jiang Sumei politely said and changed the topic, "In the interview, we understand that you have been serving as the class president since the first grade of primary school until now, and many people are very interested in this, how can you do this?"
This question seemed to be a bit idiot, Chen Feng had no choice but to scratch his head and replied: "I can only say that my academic performance has always been very good, and in the class, my popularity is also very good, so this class leader has been going down like this." ”
"Hehe, that's what we're all very curious about, it's a miracle to know that a person who has been at the top of his class since the first grade of elementary school until high school and has been the president of his class. As far as I know, your primary school is in your hometown Yuyang Town, and your middle school is in Xiuzhou Middle School, which is a provincial key middle school, and the students in it are generally famous for their excellent grades, and you transferred from the countryside to Xiuzhou Middle School in Xiuzhou City, since the first semester, your grades have been among the best, and you were quickly elected by your classmates as the class president, and later, your grades have always been the first in the entire grade. This is really surprising. Can you tell us any tips on how to study?"
"Diligence can make up for clumsiness!" Chen Feng couldn't say that he was born with a cheat, so he could only say something clichéd.
"In the three years you have been in junior high school, you have been the class president, and what makes Xiuzhou people talk about it so far is that in the high school entrance examination of your class in junior high school, the whole class was admitted to the high school of Xiuzhou Middle School, and the average score broke the record of high school entrance examination results in the history of Xiuzhou Middle School. As far as we know, the reason why your class was able to achieve such good results in that high school entrance examination is because you went to the podium every day to give review guidance to the whole class in the month before the exam, and in a mock test before the exam, many knowledge points and question types were similar to the questions in the high school entrance examination. ”
Chen Feng was mentally prepared for that question from the beginning, and replied casually: " At that time, in order to help the students in our class to go to high school smoothly, we can still be together in the future, so I worked hard to study the types of exam questions in previous years, and then referred to a lot of popular mock test papers at the time, etc., and finally came out with the mock paper that was closer to the question type of the high school exam, which took me almost two months. ”
"Oh, so you've done so much work behind the scenes, and everyone thinks you're guessing. After a slight pause, Jiang Sumei changed to another topic, "You became famous in the third year of junior high school, and before that, people didn't know your musical talent at all, so what made you decide to perform on stage on New Year's Day in the third year of junior high school?"
Chen Feng replied indifferently: "There is no big reason, I just feel that my junior high school career is coming to an end, and I want to leave a good memory for myself." ”
"Your famous song "Life with You" has very beautiful lyrics and songs, and it once went viral on the Internet and was rated as one of the hottest songs of the year, did you ever think of this result at that time?"
"Nope. Chen Feng smiled casually, "To be honest, I didn't know who filmed my performance at that time and put it on the Internet." It was only after listening to others that I realized that I was actually famous, and this result can be said to be a complete accident. ”
"So, your second self-composed song "Beautiful Myth" shouldn't be an accident, right?" Jiang Sumei asked a little jokingly.
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Actually, if you really want to talk about it, this can be regarded as an accident. At that time, a few friends and I were originally going to watch the artist's evening performance, a few of us stood under the stage, and Gao Hong stood on the stage, but I didn't expect that she randomly invited the audience to come on stage and sing with her and chose me, and she also recognized me, and deliberately put me together, let me perform the show live, so that many people present thought that this was the interesting arrangement of the program in advance, but in fact, it was an accident from the beginning.
I had no choice but to perform "The Myth of Beauty", which had just been created at the time, otherwise, I would have been very embarrassed at the time. ”
Jiang Sumei said with a smile: "You were not ashamed at all, it is said that after your performance, the audience shouted your name and wanted you to add the show, but you never appeared, and the trouble was out of control, so I had to end the singing and dancing celebration party in advance." ”
When Chen Feng heard this, he could only smile freely, in fact, of course, that incident was not worth showing off.
"Chen Feng, at that time, many people remember that you said at that party that you were going to quit the music scene, but soon after, you secretly landed on the American music scene under the stage name of Long, why did you make this decision at that time? What did your parents think about this at that time?"
Chen Feng smiled slightly, with a confident look on his face, and said eloquently: "I did say that I wanted to quit the music scene at that time, but I mean the domestic music scene, because in my opinion, the domestic music scene is not very big, and the most important point is that I didn't want people to interfere with my normal life at that time, and I also hated the invasion of my personal privacy by those gossip newspapers, so I am not sensitive to the domestic music scene and entertainment industry." But at the same time, so many fans in China who support me have given me affirmation and countless motivation for music creation, so that I have more confidence in my music creation, plus I personally like music very much, and I also want to create more good music to share with everyone, so I decided to go to the United States to try it, maybe there is a broader space and stage for me to play, so I used the stage name long, and this stage name is our Chinese 'dragon' pinyin writing, which mainly means that I am' The descendant of the dragon', in addition, there is also a meaning of 'the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail', and he wants to keep his identity secret. But as a result, everyone knows that I underestimated the analysis and discrimination ability of netizens, and thought that at the Grammy Awards, my dress was already very strict and would not be recognized, but I didn't expect that the netizen would quickly identify it. My family was against my decision at first, but then they agreed when they saw that I was insisting, and my parents did a great job of doing this, and they gave me a lot of autonomy at home. ”
