Reborn in America

Chapter 46: Unexpected Guest

The subject of the interview was still "The Carpenters", and the show was filmed where it was interrupted last time. Most of the programs of this era are recorded and broadcasted first, and there are very few live broadcast programs. The host was still Jane Murray. When he was in the background, he first apologized to the Carpenters family. After going up, everyone chatted casually as if they were doing routine.

The host has a very strong ability to control the scene, and he can always come and come back whenever everyone wants to digress.

Alex sang "anangel" live and Richard also sang "mamasaid"! The two played very well at the scene without any problems.

This kind of live performance is as simple as breathing for the Carpenter brothers who have been on stage at the age of four or five.

"Wow! Wow! I can only say wow!" After they finished their performance, the host quickly applauded and said: "I was shocked by you, you are really amazing."

"Thank you! Thank you everyone!" The Carpenter brothers said with a smile.

"Alex, how did you write so many wonderful songs?" The host stared into Alex's eyes and asked: "When I was your age, I only played mud with my friends!"

Everyone burst into laughter again, until the laughter gradually stopped. Alex said: "Playing in the mud? I want to play too, but my friends think I am too good, so I have to go home and write songs."

This made everyone smile, and the host seriously asked: "Really, do you have any tricks for songwriting? Or the secrets? Can you share them with you?"

Alex replied: "When I was bored, I closed my eyes and listened to the voice in my ear, and the singing came like this. When I heard it, it was a song I had never heard before, so I wrote it down. . This is my secret to writing songs!"

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable!" The host said with his eyes widened, looking at the people around him.

Bart shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes, every time I see him writing a song, he looks like he is dozing off with his eyes."

Richard and others also nodded and said yes, they didn't know that it was Alex who was using the "retrospective" ability. If he is watching a video in the memory bank, he has to close his eyes. In his words, this is because there is too much information to be processed, and closing your eyes is to reduce the ingress of external information.

The host touched his chin, looked at Alex and said: "There are rumors outside that your IQ is very high, twice as high as ordinary people! Is this true?"

Alex spread his hands and said: "Since it is a rumor, you have to ask the person who said the rumor. If you ask me, I can only say that there is no comment!"

"Haha!" The host pointed to Alex and laughed: "You are really smart, but I have made enough preparations today. Please invite the special guest, Professor Sawyer from the University of Chicago!"

Bart and the others did not expect to meet Professor Sawyer here. When they first watched the program arrangement, they did not see this link. What's even more annoying is that Professor Sawyer failed to keep his promise and passed on the privacy of the Carpenter brothers without authorization.

In fact, after Alex applied for a bipolar transistor patent, various gossips have been circulating. It's just that, at the time, he hadn't named him by name and said it was Alex. It's just that there is a kid near them with a high IQ, just as smart as Leonardo da Vinci.

After the Carpenter Brothers’ second album was released, this kind of rumors became more and more specific and lifelike, and someone has already linked them together. At that time, Bart thought it was another professor who accidentally said it, but they didn't expect it to be Professor Sawyer. But think about it, Professor Sawyer is so active in helping Alex, just to study the topic of IQ.

He has hidden this thing for so many years, what is he trying to do now?

"Hello everyone, I am Professor Sawyer and I am now at the University of Chicago."

Professor Sawyer looked awkward when he looked at the Carpenters family. He walked a few steps quickly and came to Alex to make a hug.

Alex was in full view, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so he could only hug Professor Sawyer gently.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disclose you." Professor Sawyer said softly in Alex's ear: "My IQ test research was seen by them, and they connected you together."

Is it really like this? Are there no other factors at work?

Alex was a little uncertain whether Professor Sawyer was true or not. However, he also knew that too many people knew about this matter, and sooner or later it would be leaked out.

He thought for a while, still planning not to tear his face with Professor Sawyer, and smiled: "We'll talk after we get down!"

Professor Sawyer then stopped struggling with this matter. He hugged each other one by one, and then under the guidance of the host, he explained the IQ test that was done for the Carpenter brothers.

Everyone is very interested in this kind of story and listened to it with gusto. Speaking of the test results, some people did not believe that the value was correct, so they quarreled. At this time, everyone at the scene was made to laugh.

After the host laughed, he quickly asked: "Now they should believe it? The Carpenter brothers have achieved such great success now. If it is not a genius, then no one is a genius."

After listening, everyone agreed. From the Carpenter brothers, they did see an unusual talent.

"Their outstanding performance now proves that my research results are correct! I think it is necessary to promote this test method across the country in order to find gifted children so that the national society can provide excellent education to such people. . In this way, we Americans can truly improve the quality of the whole people."

Professor Sawyer did not forget to sell his ideas on TV programs. His passage was eventually cut by the director, and it was not broadcast, but it was published in the newspaper.

"Wow! Brother Alex has an IQ of 220, and his brother Richard has an IQ of 180! Both have an IQ higher than Einstein's 160!" The host exclaimed, "Mrs. Carpenters, you must A few more!"

Both Bart and Angel laughed at the host's words. Bart said with a smile: "Three is enough, three is enough!"

Angel also smiled and hugged his daughter Karen tightly and said: "Yes, now in order to raise this little guy, it makes us have a terrible headache. How dare to ask for more to raise!"

The host turned to the two-year-old Karen and said: "Little sister, do you want a younger brother or sister to play with you?"

Karen blinked and said, "No! I don't want a younger brother or sister to grab something to eat with me! If only I have another brother, he will give me something to eat."

Everyone laughed when they heard Karen's cute answer.

Alex and Richard performed very well. They were not afraid of the cameras surrounding them. When facing the host, they were as relaxed as facing old friends.

Under the guidance of Jane Murray, Bart and Angel recalled their shock when they learned about the musical talents of the two brothers, and the origin of the first record, while Alex and Richard talked about being the first. The scene of the performance and the problems encountered during the creation of music, there were endless laughter and laughter during the period.

"Then Mr. Bart, do you plan to train your daughter as a musician in the future?" the host asked, and he made a face at Karen in Angel's arms.

Karen was only two years old at this time. She had no idea that she was filming a TV show. She stared at the host of the show. After a long time, I didn't realize that I had become the center of the topic, and I still hid in my mother's arms and looked around.

After listening to the host's question, Bart smiled: "It depends on whether she is interested. If possible, I still think she can also embark on this path."

The host shrugged his shoulders, extended the microphone in front of Karen, and asked, "Little Karen, will you become a singer just like your brother when you grow up?"

"Yeah!" Karen Urn replied in an annoying voice, and she also sang a few lyrics, which surprised everyone.

"Oh my God, Karen's singing is no worse than the two brothers!" the host exclaimed.

Alex said in an interface: "Of course! We plan to form a band in the future! At that time, people from all over the world will listen to our singing!"

The host heard it and thought it was a gimmick, so he chased the Carpenters and asked about the band.

"Alex and Richard, have you two thought about working with your sister in the future?" the host asked the two brothers next to him.

"Of course, we all look forward to this day." Alex said seriously.

"By then, the name of our group should become'Carpenter Brothers and Sisters'!" Richard said with a smile.

"Then expect you to grow up soon, little Karen!" The host smiled and teased the innocent and cute Karen, and accidentally scared her to hide in Angel's arms.

"Haha!" Everyone laughed when they saw this scene.

"Eh! Shala la oh oh oh!" Karen suddenly turned his face and shouted an unexplained word to the host.

"Wow! Is this singing? This is singing!" The host shouted to the others with a surprised look on his face.

"Haha!" All the people in the audience laughed loudly.

"I heard that Alex also wrote a book, it has been published, and it sells well?" the host asked.

Everyone's eyes focused on Alex to see how he answered.

"Yes, let me correct it. I have not only written one book, but the second one has already been handed over to the editor and is in printing!" Alex replied calmly.

The host was obviously surprised by Wei Wei: "I wrote another one? What's the name?"

"This book is the sequel to the previous "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", called "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". Interested readers can buy one and have a look, but everyone says mine The book is only suitable for children. If you are too old, you can buy it as a gift for your grandchildren. Mr. Murray, you should have children in your family too. I suggest you buy one." Alex spared no effort. Selling his book to others.

"Haha! Alex, I will definitely buy one!" the host said.

The interview on the show went smoothly, and the time was over soon. The host Jane Murray shook hands with Carpenter's family one by one, and even the little sister Karen shook hands with him.

"She will definitely become a great singer in the future!" he said.

Of course, Karen Carpenter was the hottest singer in the 1970s!

Alex said silently in his heart that he knew very well the "future" of his little sister!

This interview program will be put into the "Daily Interview" and will be broadcast on New York radio at 9 pm next Monday.

According to estimates from the marketing department of Carpenter Records, this interview can increase the sales of the Carpenter brothers' current records by 15%, and will also be of great help to the upcoming third record.

The impact of TV interviews on record sales is not intuitive, it's just a bunch of data. However, what the Carpenter brothers personally experienced was that they were constantly recognized by strangers when they were walking on the road the next day shortly after the TV broadcast.

"Hey! That's the Carpenter brothers!" Some passers-by would say to those around them when they saw them.

Others ran over to strike up a conversation, and more people came to say hello. They asked the Carpenters to sign and leave messages. Even Bart and Angel were chased by people for autographs, and even the little sister Allen was asked by several companies to shoot commercials. They are now all celebrities in their family.

Professor Sawyer seemed to want to come over and talk to them, but he couldn't squeeze him, and the Carpenters' attitude towards him was extremely cold. Professor Sawyer stood aside and hesitated for a while, but finally left. He has his own goals and will never retreat because of others' accusations. Over the years, the number of people who mocked him and suppressed him is endless. Hasn't he survived all the same?

"You are optimistic, I must find a way to prove that my theory is correct. This world needs people like Tesla, and only in this way can people like him really make the world leap forward."

Professor Sawyer is gone, disappearing, maybe looking for his own way.
