Chapter 292: My name is Zhang Dongcheng

  Ellen got her start performing comedy in small clubs and cafes. By 1981, she was emcee at the Clyde's Comedy Club in New Orleans. At the time Woody Allen and Steve Martin were her main influences. In the early '80s, she began touring the country and was voted "The Funniest Person in America" ​​in 1982.

When she was 19 years old, she fell in love with a girl in a **** bar and started dating, but after a quarrel, her girlfriend was killed in a car accident on the way home, and Ellen, who didn't know it at the time, happened to pass by the scene of the accident. But because he didn't know that his girlfriend was in a car accident, he left.

Soon learned that his girlfriend died in the accident. This shock made Ellen collapse in her basement apartment to reflect. There is no heating equipment, no furnishings, no money, only a broken mattress on the ground, she kept asking herself why this happened, why couldn't she just call God directly and conveniently.

So the famous "Call God" came into being. In 1986, she appeared on the Tonight Show with "Call God," and a few years later, she became the first actress in history to sit down on The Tonight Show.

While she was the host of Clyde's Comedy Club, she won the title of Showtime's 1982 "Funniest Person in America" ​​in 1982.

After becoming famous, Allen went to Los Angeles to shoot HBO's "Young Comedians Reunion", "One Night Stand" and other feature films, which won her a CableACE Award nomination.

In 1986, she was a regular guest on Johnny Carson's comedy show "The Tonight Show", and her witty humor helped her career fly high. In Fox's "Open House", DeGeneres first tried acting, and then she starred in the ABC TV series "Laurie Hill". In 1994, ABC invited her to star in the TV series "These Friends of Mine", which was renamed "Ellen". The show aired from 1994 to 1998 and topped the ratings charts. DeGeneres' comedic talent was recognized by the audience, and she received two Emmy nominations for it. In 1993, Allen first got an electric shock in "Coneheads", and then starred in "Mr. Wrong", "Goodbye Lover", "When a Woman" When Falling in Love with a Woman" (IfTheseWallsCouldTalk2) and other films.

From 1997 to 2000, Allen was buried by the TV circle collectively, and no one cared about him for three full years. Until CBS TV station tailored a talk show "Ellen Show" for him.

"The Ellen Show" started broadcasting in 2003, and it was out of control. In its first season, it was nominated for the 11th Daytime Emmy Awards and won four awards, including Best Talk Show.

The show won 25 Emmy Awards in its first three seasons, more than the ever-growing Oprah talk show.

In 2009, 1,000 episodes of the show were offline, and after Oprah stopped talking about talk shows, the most powerful talk show in the United States was "The Ellen Show"!

Well, it seems that this hostess still has some chances! Zhang Dongcheng quickly opened the notebook and recorded a name in the notebook: Ellen DeGeneres.

Friday is done, what about Saturday? Zhang Dongcheng thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with any idea. He could only take Alan's name first, and then go to ABC TV station to try his luck.

ABC TV station, the giant of the American TV industry, one of the three major commercial broadcasting and television companies, needless to say its reputation.

Set foot on this awesome TV station, Zhang Dongcheng wore a peaked cap and big sunglasses in a low-key manner. He didn't want to be followed by paparazzi when he arrived at the TV station.

Looking at the beautiful receptionist, Zhang Dongcheng was about to go up to ask about the situation, when two chattering people emerged from the elevator.

"Mr. Skater, Mr. Skater! Don't go, don't go!" A woman with blond hair but a short cut, wearing a white-collared women's suit, pulled a fat American man angrily, refusing to give up he goes.

"Oh, **** it, I told you, I can't help you! This is the decision of the station!" Skater's forehead was sweating, and he pulled his bag vigorously, only to find that the woman had beaten him to death. I grabbed it hard, but couldn't pull it out.

The woman was full of anger, and shouted without hesitation: "The decision in the station? Why did the station make such a stupid decision? The ratings of my program have not dropped, and even slightly increased! But why did you terminate the contract with me?" !"

People coming and going on the TV station turned their heads to look at the two people who were looking at each other like a bullfight, but Zhang Dongcheng was smiling, and walked over slowly with leisure time, standing aside and listening quietly.

He has seen this woman clearly, and his heart is full of joy.

She is Ellen!

"I know that the ratings of your show haven't dropped, but I don't know why you want to terminate the contract. I can't control this matter, and I don't want to. Let me go!" Impatiently, Skater waved his hand, as if wanting to put this Just keep pesky flies away.

"You kicked me out, kicked me out of my show, just because I publicly announced that I came out as gay! You couldn't accept it, so you terminated the contract, right!" Allen roared angrily, his voice extremely sharp, in There was an explosion in the hall of the TV station, but it caused everyone to look sideways.

Many people showed surprised expressions on their faces. Looking at Alan, who was not very good-looking, but still able to take care of her, she really didn't know if her head was caught by the door.

As if caught in his thoughts, Skater wiped the sweat from his brow and exclaimed angrily: "You have the nerve to say, is it an honor for you to be gay? Do you need to announce it so loudly to the whole world? Let's go!" , Our cooperation has been terminated! Everything has a contract and a legal basis!"

Hearing the contract and the law, Allen's momentum collapsed in an instant.

She knew that Skater was not lying. Everything was stipulated in the contract. The TV station has the right to deal with itself without paying any responsibility. This is an overlord clause, but for practitioners, the only option is to sign or do not sign.

Right now, this contract is a reminder, the result of being unable to resist.

Seeing that Allen stopped talking, Skater's aura rose again. He pushed Allen aside vigorously, and the pride in his heart made him a little forgetful. The inadvertent voice revealed a trace of behind-the-scenes conspiracy: "Haha , get out of here! But don’t worry, I will help you plan your program. I will become the director of the program!”

"Bastard, bastard! You stole my show, you insidious villain, I will fight with you!" Allen went crazy when he heard it, and attacked Skater crazily with his hands and feet.

Skat used his briefcase against Ai Hua's punches and kicks, while desperately backing away, and then yelled: "Security, security! Get this crazy woman out!"

Several security guards quickly ran over, hugged the lunatic Ai Hua, and then pushed out the door.

"Damn Skater, you will be punished, God will not let you go!" Alan yelled, but was pushed out, his feet tilted on the steps, and he fell to the ground with a thump. Even tumbled down a few steps.

"Haha, Reservoir Dog! You won't even help you with the steps. As long as the steps are one centimeter wider, you won't fall down! Wow, haha! It seems that classmate Alan, the time is not good!" Skater passed by, but He was arrogant, with sarcasm in his tone, and laughed loudly: "Alan, you are finished, you are finished in the TV circle! I advise you to recognize the reality, go home and find your wife, and hug her Bury your head and cry! Hahahaha!"

Throwing a contemptuous look, Skater laughed wildly and stepped over Allen, leaving only the aggressive background and the series of wild laughter.

fell to the ground, Allen fell to the ground, her knees and forehead were bruised, and there were tears in her eyes, but she stubbornly did not fall.

She just looked at the ABC TV sign quietly, looked at the sign, and just fell to the ground, looking like lifeless.

My hard work was robbed, and my homosexuality was not understood by anyone. ABC kicked me out. It is conceivable that Escart's bad temper will definitely not leave any chance for himself. One of the big broadcasting companies kicked him out, and soon his reputation in this circle would be extremely bad!

Sit up, but the painful knees could not support the body. Alan tried several times, but couldn't stand up. There were many people coming and going, but no one was willing to reach out to help him.

Countless well-dressed guys hurried past with their briefcases between them. Countless women wearing high-heeled shoes and stepping softly scratched their heads and passed by. Ellen's eyes were red, and she lowered her head and rubbed Tears finally flowed down my stiff knees.

A hand appeared in front of him.

Allen wiped his tears, looked up at this very young oriental man who was so young that she was a little jealous, and was stunned for a moment. He was smiling in front of him, but he seemed to have seen him somewhere.

Westerners and Chinese are alike, both have face blindness towards completely different counterparts. Although Alan clearly knew where he had seen or had contact with this young oriental man, he just couldn't remember.

However, Alan still appreciated the kindness of the other party. With his hand, she slowly stood up, limped and hopped, moved to a roadside bench beside the road, and sat down on her buttocks. After he got down, he frowned and turned around, asking the oriental man who was sitting next to him.

"Hey, buddy, have we met somewhere? Or, are you very famous?" Alan rubbed his sore knee and asked doubtfully.

"My name is Zhang Dongcheng, Smith Zhang."
