Back to 80: My Literary Life

At this time, Song Tangtang was wearing a sapphire blue French dress and satin-like hair, looking elegant and noble.

Next to her was Li Li with short hair.

"Cousin, you have to be careful. American hosts are not as kind as our domestic hosts. They ask tricky and weird questions, especially this McDonald. This old man looks kind, but he is actually very bad. He likes to see the interview guests make a fool of themselves the most."

Song Tangtang laughed when she heard it.

"So what? Back out?"

"No, that won't work. It will make the Americans laugh at us."

"Okay, let's make the best of it." Song Tangtang said lightly.

It turned out that not long ago, the English version of Fang Minghua's "Twilight" was published by West Alliance and Schutte Publishing House, which immediately caused a sales boom in the United States and soon appeared on the New York bestseller list.

Together with the previous two books "The Bridges of Madison County" and "Ghost", it is called Fang Minghua's "Love Trilogy".

Ximeng Company certainly hopes to take this opportunity to step up promotion and publicity. It would be best if the author himself came to help out, participate in a program interview, or sign and sell books.

However, Fang Minghua was still thousands of miles away in China at this time. His agent in the United States, Miss Li Li from San Francisco State University, said that he was in charge of the essay collection work for the first World Chinese Literature Award and it was impossible for him to come to the United States.

Disappointed, but got another piece of news.

Fang Minghua's wife, Ms. Song Tangtang, is in New York, leading a Chinese crew to shoot a TV series.

Fang Minghua can't come, it would be nice for his wife to be a guest on TV and participate in an interview program.

Talking about the writer's daily writing life, or even the interesting things between husband and wife, such gossip-filled programs are still very popular in the United States.

Not to mention writers from the mysterious country of the East!

Is their daily life completely different from ours?

Do the works they write have to be reviewed by a certain agency?

Do writers in their country only write praises and compliments?

Even now, do they still need to recite quotations before eating?

So Ximeng Company quickly contacted Song Tangtang and sent Evans, who had received Fang Minghua last time, to ask Song Tangtang to participate in the program interview.

If it was something else, Song Tangtang would definitely not agree, but when she heard that it was to promote her husband's book, she finally agreed.

Song Tangtang naturally called her cousin Li Li in San Francisco to tell the news, and Li Li immediately took leave and flew to New York.

Both of them were busy with work. Although Song Tangtang came to the United States, she had been staying in New York. They had not met each other for thousands of miles.

This time they finally met and stayed for a few days.

In addition, the cousin wanted to promote Fang Minghua's new book, and she had to do her part.

The two sisters were of course very happy to meet in a foreign country. Li Li accompanied Song Tangtang to the TV station to record the program.

As she had been abroad for seven years, she knew more about the American media, so she reminded Song Tangtang.

In fact, Song Tangtang was still a little nervous.

This was the first time she participated in an American program interview.

This was not only to represent herself, Fang Minghua, and even the Chinese people. She must not bring shame to the country!

Seeing that the time was almost up, the staff signaled Song Tangtang to go in.

After Song Tangtang went in and sat on the sofa, the staff briefly explained the precautions in the program interview, and McDonald next to her also smiled and said as an elder: "Miss Song, you don't have to be too nervous, we are just chatting casually."

"In your Chinese language, it's just chatting." The old man didn't know where he heard this Northeastern dialect, and he actually said it in poor Chinese.

Song Tangtang was amused when she heard it, and replied in English:

"Mr. Donald, that's what you say in the Northeast. We Northwesters, especially those from Qin Province, should call it "谝蝝传."

The last three words were naturally in Chinese.

Both of them laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

The staff reminded that the time was up.

"OK!" McDonald made a gesture.

Immediately, a camera light hit the two people, the camera lens was aimed at the two people, and the program officially began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, welcome to tonight's "Round Table" program. I am your old friend McDonald." Donald greeted the audience easily in front of the camera.

"Tonight, we are honored to invite the wife of the famous Chinese writer Mr. Minghua, Ms. Song Tangtang. Here I will reveal a little to everyone. Ms. Song Tangtang is supervising a Chinese TV series in New York. Ms. Song Tangtang, please say hello to the audience in front of the TV."

The photographer quickly took a close-up of Song Tangtang.

A beautiful oriental beauty appeared in the camera.

"Hello everyone, I am Song Tangtang." Song Tangtang waved to the camera, smiled elegantly, and said in standard American English: "I am very happy to meet you all on the show."

Wow.

So beautiful.

Minghua's wife is so beautiful!

Elegant and generous, with a heroic spirit in the unique gracefulness of oriental people.

In front of the TV, some of Fang Minghua's fans immediately exclaimed: "No wonder people look down on Emily."

The "scandal" between Emily, a popular American beauty writer, and Fang Minghua has become gossip among ordinary readers, especially when Fang Minghua publishes a new book, someone always mentions it.

After the simple opening remarks, Donna asked with a smile: "Ms. Song Tangtang, is this your first time in the United States?"

"No, I have been here several times. Last year my cousin married a Chinese young man in San Francisco. I also went to San Francisco and Los Angeles." Song Tangtang told the truth.

"Then you know the United States well. What's your impression of the United States? Is it prosperous, powerful, and advanced, or is it the so-called capitalist corruption, decline, and moral corruption that your country promotes?"

Oh

Come up and dig a hole for your cousin.

Li Li, who was looking at the studio through the glass backstage, suddenly became nervous.

To say that we are prosperous and powerful seems a bit flattering.

If you talk about corruption or moral corruption, you will be labeled as promoting the country.

Song Tangtang was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Mr. Downer, my husband Minghua has a sentence in a TV script he adapted that can answer your question."

"Oh, which sentence?"

"He said: If you love him, send him to New York, because that is heaven; if you hate him, send him to New York, because that is hell."

"Sure enough, he is a famous writer. Your husband's words are indeed very insightful." Donner smiled.

"Thanks."

"Then let me ask Ms. Song Tangtang, your dear cousin married in the United States - please allow me to venture, there are many Chinese girls who want to marry in the United States. Do they think they have arrived in heaven?"

As soon as Tang Na said this.

Song Tangtang's pretty face changed slightly.

Even Li Li's face in the background became ugly.
