Chapter 576 Big Card(2/3)
"It is unrealistic to say that you have no worries. People have fear, but we still have to believe in science."
Most of the content of the interview was drafted in advance by Taiwanese books. Lin Chaoyang occasionally had a flash of inspiration and used it himself, which won bursts of laughter and applause from the audience from time to time.
In the first half, Oprah's conversation focused on the inside story of the creation of "Dallas Buyer Club" and the response caused after the publication of the novel.
In the second half of the recording, the conversation became more extensive.
"Before "Dallas Buyer Club", you also had a "China on the Bite of the Tongue" that was also very popular, and I read that book.
From the perspective of diet, it is impressive to explain history, geography, national customs and simple emotions."
"Thanks."
"But I think there is a big problem with this book." Oprah pretended to be serious.
"What's the problem?"
"I thought he was a food cooking book at first, just like "Classic Italian Cooking". As a result, I finished reading the book, and my saliva and stomach acid secreted a lot, and I didn't learn a single dish."
Oprah complained as if this incident caused her a lot of trouble.
"Actually, if you study it carefully, the content in that book can also be used to cook. The difference lies in your grasp of 'quantity' and 'heat'."
Lin Chaoyang's explanation did not seem to satisfy Oprah, and she kept saying: "Most readers do not have such rich experience to put into practice. Lin, you have the obligation to give those readers an explanation!"
"What explanation?"
"Teaching everyone to cook dishes, simple and delicious, this is your chance to prove yourself."
"What do I want to prove?"
"Prove that you are a real foodie, not a boastful person."
There was never any surprise in the TV program. It was all designed by Taiwanese, and Oprah's request was also designed by the program team in advance.
"Oprah Talk Show" is a daytime show, with a tone that is biased towards the public and needs to sprinkle some chicken soup from time to time.
Sometimes it even seems a little shallow.
The main reason for this result is that it is mostly homemakers. At the end of the show, it is very suitable for the audience's appetite.
At Oprah's request, the program crew pushed the simple cooking platform onto the stage, and even the ingredients were ready.
Oprah looked at the Pepsi Coke in Lin Chaoyang's hand and fell into deep thought, "Why does Coke appear?"
"You said that it is simple, easy to learn and delicious. Today's dish is called Coke Chicken Wings."
"Cola chicken wings? Are you sure there is this dish in Chinese food?"
"Of course." Lin Chaoyang was full of confidence and added, "I invented it."
Oprahran, the audience burst into laughter again.
"Okay, then I'll wait and see."
Lin Chaoyang started cooking, just by punching a knife on the chicken wings. Oprah commented seriously: "Like a chef!"
The method of making Coke chicken wings is simple and easy to use. When Lin Chaoyang was cooking, Oprah occasionally sucked the meat and the dishes were ready soon.
The newly-out-of-the-pot Coke chicken wings were steaming, and the concentrated Coke covered the chicken wings with an attractive caramel-colored coat.
Oprah moved her index finger and used a fork to raise a piece of chicken wing and put it in her mouth.
Her eyes suddenly stared as big as a copper bell, and she made a long nasal sound while chewing things.
"Oh Maiga! This taste." Oprah couldn't help but bite the chicken wings again, and the more she chewed her expression, the more excited she looked.
He slapped his thighs with his hands, and his facial features were almost twisted together excitedly, his eyebrows raised high, and his eyes were filled with surprises of discovering a new world.
After swallowing the entire chicken wings picture, she finally gave a complete comment.
"Wow~ I didn't expect that Coke would have such a wonderful reaction with chicken wings. It's so amazing!" Oprah looked at Lin Chaoyang, "Lin, you are such a talented gourmet! This idea is so great!"
Lin Chaoyang smiled and thanked.
"Let me do another one!" Oprah put out a piece of chicken wings and asked the staff to distribute the chicken wings to the already curious audience, which won unanimous praise from the audience.
Oprah said to the camera: "It's definitely not a show effect, it tastes great! Did you remember what you did just now in front of the TV? It doesn't matter if you didn't remember it, watch it a few more times to replay it!"
Oprah said to Lin Chaoyang again: "Lin, although it may be a bit hurtful to say this, I think the biggest gain of this episode today is probably this dish!"
The audience burst into laughter again.
"Seriously, Lin, do you want to consider making a food show? I think it will definitely be very popular!" Oprah asked in a joke.
"I think I'm better at writing than cooking. Not everyone is so lucky to find what they are good at and like, and persevere."
Lin Chaoyang's words won Oprah's praise, "It's great! I believe you will become a great writer, Lin!"
The show ended in an atmosphere full of positive energy.
After getting off the stage, Oprah has to continue to prepare for the next episode, executive producer Jeff
Ross found Lin Chaoyang and seriously expressed his desire to talk to Lin Chaoyang about the topic of making food programs.
"Sorry, Jeff, I really don't have this plan."
Lin Chaoyang's refusal without hesitation disappointed Jeff Ross a little.
Although Coke's chicken wings were just showing off his skills, anyone could see Lin Chaoyang's superb cooking skills.
He has also written a food book with millions of best-selling books. Lin Chaoyang has the natural advantage of watching the food festival and is easily popular.
After the recording of the program was completed, Lin Chaoyang and his wife left Chicago and returned to New York.
Scott Ruddin was still waiting here. He finished dinner with his couple two days ago. The next day he received a call from Tao Yushu, saying that he was willing to cooperate in the adaptation of the "Dallas Buyers Club" project.
When we met again, Scott Rudin and Tao Yushu talked about a lot of details about the co-production, and finally decided on the cooperation.
Two days later, Lin Chaoyang and his wife finally had time to relax and rest for two days, and went to New York City attractions to visit.
"When will you two come back?" That morning, Tao Yumo called and urged the couple to return to Xiangjiang.
In the past half a month, she had to work alone and took care of two energetic little devils, and she was in dire straits.
"It's soon, it's soon!" said Tao Yushu.
"Hurry up, the children won't know you anymore if they don't come back!"
Tao Yumo's voice disappeared into the phone receiver, and Tao Yushu asked Lin Chaoyang: "When will we go back?"
"Then go back the day after tomorrow."
Robert Gottlieb will hold a party at home tomorrow, and Lin Chaoyang is invited to attend.
The next day, the villa area of Long Island.
Gottlieb has never been many people gathering, and it is the same today. Among the people who came, Jason Epstein, Judith Jones and Luan Walter, were all known to Lin Chaoyang.
There is another person who doesn't know Lin Chaoyang in theory, but he is not unfamiliar with him.
"This is Woody Allen!"
Robert Gottlieb introduced Woody Allen to Lin Chaoyang and his wife. The most intellectual director in the American film industry recently filmed "Husband, Wife and Lover" in New York.
In fact, a considerable number of movies in Woody Allen's life were filmed in New York. Although he is one of the great directors in the American film industry, he has always remained a certain distance from Hollywood.
Therefore, his works do not have obvious industrial characteristics like many Hollywood movies, but instead have distinct author characteristics.
There are few people at the party, most of them are acquaintances, and the atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant.
Epstein talked about the recent hot topics in New York City and talked about "Dallas Buyer Club".
With the influence of the novel fermenting among readers, and the continuous publicity of the media these days.
This novel is now well-known in the American literary world, surpassing the general literary works, and is gradually becoming a hot topic of public opinion.
The content of this novel can cause such a big response is of course important, but ultimately it is a huge topic. The majority of people are always silent, but they are often more active in minorities.
After its publication, "The Dallas Buyer Club" was popular among the homosexual community and the group fighting AIDS. Compared with ordinary readers, their voices are more prominent and prominent in media communication."
Lin Chaoyang rationally summarized the reasons why "Dallas Buyer Club" is so popular. Luan Walter said: "But it is also a fact that the novel is well written!"
After saying that, he complained again: "Lin, you Chinese are really bad at "humility" habits, and sometimes we take them seriously."
"The wonderful use of ‘humility’ is here. Even if you take it seriously, it doesn't matter, I still feel secretly happy."
"You are so cunning!"
Woody Allen asked at this time: "I heard from Sidney that Paramount wants to adapt your novel?"
"Yes, he just finished talking with Scott Rudin two days ago and he will be the producer."
"Have you found a director? Your novel is so popular, so many people should be willing to take over."
Not yet, do you have a recommended candidate?”
"I think Martin is good. He is very good at portraying such complex characters and marginalized stories."
Although Woody Allen did not say the full name, Lin Chaoyang could still guess who "Martin" he said was at once.
Martin Scorsese, director of his masterpieces "Taxi Driver", "Angry Bull" and "Wolf of Wall Street", is a friend of Woody Allen.
Lin Chaoyang thought about it. Martin Scorsese's attention to the people at the bottom of society and his strong visual style can indeed present Ron Woodruff's transformation and struggle in desperate situations.
