Talk shows are widely loved by audiences because of their varied content and humorous and satirical styles, but it is not an easy task to really "show" them. You need to have flexible thinking and meticulous logic, and most importantly, you need to be very good at talking!
When a Chinese wants to conquer American audiences with authentic English talk shows, it is even more difficult to imagine.
But someone did it, and he is today's protagonist , Jimmy O. Yang.
Ouyang Wancheng immigrated to the United States with his parents at the age of 13, and as an immigrant who could not even speak a word of English, he repeatedly fell into embarrassment and pain caused by language and cultural differences.
But eventually, with his relaxed, witty and humorous hosting style, he became a well-known comedian and talk show host in the United States, and the video on YouTube was viewed more than a million times.
？？？！！！
Life is full of curves!
Counterattack Yuki has!
Here's how he learned English
It can be said that it is very hilarious
When he first arrived, Ouyang Wancheng's English level was almost zero. He had only learned to say hello with "how are you", and on the first day of school, when his classmates said "what's up" to him, he looked up and looked carefully at "what's on it".
Ouyang Wancheng realized that only by overcoming the language barrier first could he have the opportunity to overcome other things.
So he tried to learn English a little bit through television.
I began to study seriously with the TV station for a long time, until one day I found myself watching a Spanish TV station.
I happened to see the rap show, and I thought that Americans all talked like this, so I boldly "applied what I learned", and the result was:
Growing up in the United States as an outsider, Ouyang Wancheng summed up the reason why he did not encounter bullying:
burst......
As an outsider, Ouyang Wancheng's road to learning English has been long and bumpy, and the language barrier has become a major difficulty in interpersonal communication, but he has always had a super good attitude. It was also in the process of trying to learn English that he discovered talk shows.
I didn't even know there was a talk show before
I went to learn it because
I felt if I could understand talk shows
You can also understand English
Public lectures are held regularly in the class, and the other students have to prepare and memorize the content of the speeches long in advance. Even so, standing on the podium still could not avoid a slight trembling of both hands.
And Ouyang only needs to write a little keyword in his hand 5 minutes in advance, he can talk about it with a smile and get the highest score in the class.
Ooh......
Life is starting to be a bit open!
But in fact, Ouyang did not want to be a talk show actor at the beginning, only because he tried boxing, jiu-jitsu and other "different" things, and failed, he remembered the talk show that was left aside.
So he found a club called "Haha Comedy" and spent $5 to "awkwardly" in front of 5 talk show actors before finally getting the qualification to take the stage.
Later, he has always insisted on going on stage every night to talk about open wheat, and occasionally when the audience feedback is not good, he is not discouraged, he secretly told himself: "The most important thing about talk show performances is instant feedback, if you don't talk well on the first day, you will talk again in a better state the next day." ”
Perhaps because this stage has witnessed Ouyang's step-by-step growth, until now, people can occasionally see his figure here.
Ouyang Wancheng's talent is not only reflected in the talk show, he also plays the entrepreneur who invented the hot dog distinguishing app in the hit American drama "Silicon Valley":
In "Terrorist Attack on Boston", Meng Dun, who played a Chinese student:
In order to perform this play, he also deliberately imitated Meng Dun's own English with a "Sichuan accent", and after the film was broadcast, his acting skills were greatly praised.
Like most Asian parents, Ouyang's parents want their son to have a decent and stable job, such as a lawyer or doctor.
But Ouyang turned down an internship opportunity at a financial company and stood on the stage of a talk show.
For a long time
I try to strike a balance between a lifestyle that makes me happy and not disappointing my parents
But eventually I found out
Or listen to your heart
In this way, you will not let yourself be disappointed in yourself for the rest of your life
——Ouyang Wancheng
After all
Living comfortably and happily is the most important thing!
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
