The press conference on flight UD725 held in New York City Hall lasted for two hours.
LuChen was undoubtedly the real focus of attention. Later, it almost became his exclusive interview. If the host hadn't announced the end of the interview in time, perhaps the reporters would have continued to ask questions.
And the final climax of this press conference appeared near the end.
New York City Mayor Middleton Fergus actually appeared in the conference room. He came to give Lu Chen a very special reward – the certificate of New York City Honorary Citizen!
Middleton Fergus was one of the core figures of the Democratic Party. It was said that at the age of fifty-five, he intended to run for the next US president and enjoyed a high political reputation in the US.
The arrival of the thin, gray-haired mayor of New York City was surprising, and the honorary certificate he personally awarded to Lu Chen was undoubtedly another surprise.
The title of New York City Honorary Citizen was not so easy to obtain. It had to be awarded to foreigners who had made great contributions to New York and had considerable social influence.
Generally speaking, the award of New York City Honorary Citizen needed to be approved by the City Council. Even if Lu Chen was eligible to receive this honor, it needed a series of procedures from the City Hall to complete it.
However, during the term of the mayor of New York City, there were two direct awards. The honorary citizen that Lu Chen received was one of the awards held by Middleton Fergus!
This was rarer than being approved by the City Council, so it inevitably caused a sensation at the scene.
New York City Honorary Citizen not only represented an honor. With this status, foreigners could enjoy a lot of benefits, such as entry and exit of New York, residence time, work permits, etc. It would be very convenient to apply for US citizenship.
Lu Chen was not the first Chinese person to receive the title of New York City Honorary Citizen, but it was definitely the first in the domestic entertainment industry. It was undoubtedly a commendable honor.
After Mayor Middleton awarded the certificate to Lu Chen, he chatted with him cordially and took a photo with him.
At this point, the press conference was truly over.
Back in the lounge, Lu Chen's forehead was covered with fine sweat.
These media reporters were much more difficult to deal with than domestic entertainment reporters, and many of the questions were quite tricky. He had to deal with them to avoid being caught by the loopholes in his words.
"Your performance can be said to be perfect …"
Li Mushi gave him a thumbs up. "To be honest, I admire you very much."
Li Mushi watched the entire press conference as Lu Chen's assistant. She was impressed by Lu Chen's performance. American reporters weren't easy to mess with. To be able to persist for such a long time and not make any mistakes after being asked so many questions, he was really extraordinary!
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, if this continues, I won't be able to hold on much longer."
Li Mushi smiled and said, "Then let's go back. Have a good rest. The negotiation with those people on Wall Street can be postponed for a few days. I believe they won't have any objections."
This time, Lu Chen has also given a wave of beautiful advertising publicity to the online crowdfunding website. When the news is broadcast, it will inevitably let more people know about the online crowdfunding website. Big will undoubtedly increase the online crowdfunding website's chips to be listed on NASDAQ!
Nowadays, LuChen, in the eyes of the Americans, has a heroic aura, and his favorability is max. He appeared in the public eye as the founder of the crowdfunding website, and the publicity effect is really stronger than any advertisement. (TN:
When Lu Chen specifically mentioned the online crowdfunding website, Li Mushi simply wanted to hug him and kiss him hard!
She has more confidence to negotiate with the vampires on Wall Street.
The two returned to the Hilton Hotel together.
Lunch was treated by Li Mushi in the luxury restaurant of the Hilton Hotel, and Wang Yan was also there.
Until now, Wang Yan has finally recovered from her state of panic. Since arriving in New York, she has been in touch with her relatives and friends in China. The taste of experiencing a life-and-death crisis is really hard to describe in words.
Just after lunch, Li Mushi received a phone call.
She chatted with the other party in English for a few minutes, then hung up and looked at Lu Chen with a strange look.
Lu Chen couldn't help touching his face and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Mushi's eyes seemed to have a flower on his face!
Li Mushi asked very seriously, "Do you know who called me just now?"
Lu Chen was speechless: "How would I know?"
Li Mushi showed a proud smile: "It's Irene, Irene Christian's assistant!"
Before Lu Chen could react, Wang Yan was shocked first: "Irene Christian! No way! "
Lu Chen also remembered who this Irene Christian was.
She is the Queen of the American talk show!
"Irene's Talk Show" is the ace program of New York TV in the United States. Since it began broadcasting in 1997, it has maintained the number one ratings of the same type of program for 20 years. It is also the longest-running daytime TV talk show in the history of the United States.
In the United States, this program has an audience of more than 30 million people every week. It is broadcast in more than 100 countries and regions overseas. It is known as the most watched talk show in the history of TV. It has won 35 Emmy awards and has a great influence.
Irene Christian is the well-deserved Queen of Talk Shows. She was born in Queens, New York. Her family was poor since she was a child. Her father died early and her mother was a drug addict. She completely relied on her own hard work to finish college. Later, she entered New York TV as a program assistant.
Also relying on her own hard work and talent, she completed the gorgeous transformation from assistant to program editor, and then to program host, becoming an inspirational idol in the hearts of countless Americans.
Li Mushi and Wang Yan both studied and worked in the United States, so they are very clear about what Irene Christian's name means.
Li Mushi said with a smile: "Irene Christian invited Lu Chen on her program!"
Those who are qualified to be invited on the program by the Queen of Talk Shows are all current hot people. They must have a great influence, and it is also an honor for the invitees.
However, even though Lu Chen knew the name of the Queen of Talk Shows, he did not have much of an impression, let alone feel flattered. Instead, he was more curious about how the other party's assistant called Li Mushi's cell phone.
"New York TV contacted China first. Lu Xi told them your contact information and mine …"
Li Mushi waved the cell phone and said, "Irene's assistant contacted me first."
