Chapter 102 "The Ellen Show" (Seeking first subscriptions)
Chen Xun was taken aback: "Warner has other plans?"
"Warner Bros.! It's The Ellen Show! It was scheduled to film today! I almost forgot about it!"
Rob slapped his forehead: "This is a great opportunity!"
"With Thor still riding high and 2 Broke Girls becoming a huge hit, let's go on board, show our faces, and solidify our popularity!"
Chen Xun remembered; Robert had indeed mentioned this.
As one of the top talk shows in the United States, "The Ellen Show" has a huge influence and is indeed a good platform for promotion.
"Then let's go!"
Chen Xun had no objections.
Having just finished an intense audition, a change of scenery to relax my mind is a good idea.
The aura surrounding him continued to function stably.
In this state, she should do well on talk shows!
That evening, Chen Xun and Robert arrived at the recording studio of "The Ellen Show" on time.
The backstage area was bustling with activity.
Staff members jogged around.
Ellen DeGeneres himself has not yet appeared.
While the makeup artist was giving Chen Xun a quick touch-up, she couldn't help but glance at him a few more times and said with a smile, "You look so relaxed, you don't look like a newcomer at all."
Chen Xun smiled but didn't say anything.
With such a powerful aura surrounding him, it's hard to feel nervous!
Rob continued to give him pointers: "Alan likes impromptu interactions and might mention Christine, so be careful not to be too affectionate or too aloof!"
"When talking about '2 Broke Girls,' let's talk more about the challenges and fun stories of the character Han Lee!"
"For 'Thor,' you could appropriately thank Chris Hemsworth for his support! In short, be natural and humorous, and showcase your charm!"
"knew!"
Chen Xun nodded.
Since becoming an agent, Rob has increasingly taken on a motherly role!
Chen Xun glanced at Robert.
He looks like a big, burly man, but he's so thoughtful!
A tough guy with a tender heart!
Recording of the program has begun.
After the warm-up act, accompanied by enthusiastic applause and signature music, Ellen strode onto the stage and began her monologue, making witty remarks about several current events, which drew bursts of laughter from the audience.
Then, she changed the subject: "Okay, speaking of hot topics, our next guest has been very busy lately. First, he helped Thor deal with his brother in Asgard—"
The big screen then displayed a still of Chen Xun as one of the three warriors in "Thor".
Laughter and applause came from the audience.
"Then he went to Brooklyn, New York, opened a restaurant that was always on the verge of bankruptcy, and incidentally won over two sharp-tongued waitresses with Eastern metaphysics —"
The screen then displayed classic scenes of Han Lee from "2 Broke Girls," especially his coin-spinning and earnest explanations of feng shui.
This time the applause and laughter were even louder, clearly indicating that the show has a very large audience base.
"Let's welcome Chen Xun!"
Chen Xun walked onto the stage amidst cheers, his steps steady.
He hugged Alan and sat down on the sofa opposite her.
"Welcome to the show, Chen Xun!"
Allen smiled and looked him over: "Wow, you look amazing! The way you walked up here makes me feel like you're the one who's on this stage!"
The audience chuckled.
Chen Xun smiled and leaned back on the sofa, relaxing. "Thanks, Allen. Maybe it's because your sofa is more comfortable than I expected!"
"Ha! It can talk!"
Allen raised an eyebrow and began the formal interview: "First of all, congratulations on the huge success of 'Thor.' How does it feel? Was there any pressure working with a big Australian like Chris Hemsworth?"
"It feels like winning the lottery!"
Chen Xun said casually, "As for Chris, he's much friendlier than Thor, but he has a huge appetite; he's mainly responsible for the crew's food expenses!"
The audience burst into laughter.
"I heard you two have a good relationship and have even had drinks together?"
"Yes, and then we both blacked out. The next morning I found dozens of photos of myself with a trash can on my phone, taken from very unusual angles. I still don't know who took them."
Chen Xun shrugged, looking helpless.
Allen and the audience were laughing hysterically.
"Looks like the warriors of Asgard aren't much of a drinker!"
After a relaxed start, Allen began to delve into more topics.
"2 Broke Girls is super popular right now, especially your character Han Lee, who is very interesting. He's a Chinese American who owns a cupcake shop, but he talks a lot about feng shui, fortune telling, and all sorts of Eastern mysticism —"
When you first received this role, what were your thoughts? Were you worried about stereotypes?
This question is a bit sharp.
Rob sat up straight instantly in the audience.
Chen Xun's expression remained unchanged, still composed: "To be honest, I was a little worried at first, but after talking with the screenwriter and producer, we agreed that instead of avoiding it, we should take this characteristic to the extreme and make it Han Li's unique personal trademark!"
"The key point is that this character is not a one-dimensional joke; he has his shrewdness and persistence, as well as his kindness."
"What audiences like is a real, interesting person with flaws but also charm, not a stereotypical character!"
He paused, then added, "And I think that allowing the audience to laugh while also hearing about 'the Azure Dragon on the Left and the White Tiger on the Right' is also a form of cultural export!"
Laughter and applause erupted from the audience once again.
Allen nodded with a smile, "Well said! Han Lee is very popular! My daughter has even learned to tell fortunes with coins, although she predicted I'd go bankrupt next week!"
The atmosphere became more harmonious.
The audience was surprised that an Asian face could be so interesting.
They are nothing like the ignorant and foolish people portrayed in the news!
"Another topic that everyone is very concerned about —"
Allen gave him a knowing smile: "Kristen Stewart, you two are one of the most talked-about couples in Hollywood right now, can we chat?"
A commotion arose from the audience.
Chen Xun smiled and said in a generous manner: "Christine is a very good actress. We are very comfortable together, we understand each other and support each other's careers!"
""
He didn't deliberately flaunt his relationship, but the sincerity and stability in his tone were palpable even through the screen.
"Wow, that's a very official answer!"
Allen joked, but didn't delve deeper, instead asking, "Does she have any little-known quirks? Like, does she ever steal your shirts or something?"
Chen Xun pretended to think for a moment, then said seriously, "I can't say, after all, I still want to continue living in Beverly Hills!"
"Hahaha!"
Allen laughed: "OK, OK, protecting privacy, good man!"
The interview continued in a pleasant atmosphere.
Allen then asked a few more questions about his upbringing and how he got started in Hollywood.
Chen Xun answered sincerely and humorously, occasionally making fun of his past as an extra, which resonated with the audience.
Throughout the process, he gave off an impression of extreme relaxation and confidence.
He answered questions calmly and attentively, his gaze focused, and his occasional jokes were always perfectly timed.
That invisible aura allowed him to firmly control the rhythm of the conversation, and even a veteran host like Allen couldn't help but be swayed by him.
When the recording ended, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Allen hugged him again: "Chen, you're amazing! You have to come again next time!"
Backstage, Rob rushed up to Chen Xun excitedly, almost giving him a bear hug: "Fuck! Did you see that? The audience's reaction! Allen's attitude towards you!"
"Bro, you were absolutely radiant tonight! Your presence was incredible!"
"I bet your fan count will explode after this episode airs!"
Chen Xun smiled.
He felt the still abundant aura emanating from his body.
The success of this interview owes much to the halo effect.
Let's go!
Chen Xun patted Rob, who was still excited, on the shoulder: "We still have to wait for Warner's news tomorrow!"
