Chapter 128

Mark was on the "Allen Show" three days after the party. He was on the show before the promotion of "hangover" and after the explosion of "hangover". He is an acquaintance with Alan degenerer. Now the "Allen Show" has not grown into one of the four major talk shows in the United States. Alan is very honored to invite mark, the king of popularity, to the show.

Like many talk show hosts, Alan DeGeneres is also the home from "stand up crosstalk". He was the first to perform at the comedy club in a small coffee shop. After several years of national tour, Allen was already known as "the most interesting person in America" when he was only 24 years old in 1982, In 1986, she was invited by talk show legend John to appear on the show. She became famous as a talk show actor. Her real popularity was in the ABC comedy talk show that began broadcasting in 1994.

Mark likes her hosting style. Any guest on Allen's show is more like chatting with an old friend than accepting an interview. Allen is not sharp. She won't ask those embarrassing questions. She mostly follows the guests' words and seems to inadvertently and half jokingly surround the guests, Many guests collapsed on the sofa of the Allen Show.

Allen often has unexpected but very warm acts of kindness in the program. For example, she will invite hard-earned fans to the studio to watch the program, and then suddenly surprise them with money and cars. She will even invite the audience's husband who is stationed abroad as a soldier to send a family reunion gift, and so on, Compared with the unlimited pranks of many late night talk shows or variety shows, the pranks of Allen Show are much milder. In other words, they have much lower limits.

The most famous feature of Allen Show is that Allen will dance together with the audience. Those in the audience who dance very well, dance very badly, wear special clothes and so on may be excavated by Allen.

Sure enough, as soon as mark sat on the sofa, Allen said, "mark, I heard you are a master dancer. You showed your dancing skills with your girlfriend black at your new film youth killing party. One song is only one step short of tango. Now you can accept my invitation and show your dancing skills." As she spoke, she bent over to invite.

As we all know, Allen is an aggressive lesbian who likes to show off in a suit. As the funniest talk show host in the whole meter, Allen's words and deeds are very funny. She just bent down and made hundreds of audience applaud and laugh. There were black and her girlfriends in the audience.

"Here?" Mark said in surprise. "Don't you just invite the audience to dance?"

Alan said, "do you still want to dance with your girlfriend? no way? You're my dish today, honey. Can you put it? I won't do anything to him? " The latter sentence was to Blake, which made the audience laugh and applaud.

Mark is a little confused. What's funny about these crooked nuts? When everyone stopped laughing, mark suddenly laughed, bent over and shed tears. Only then did he remember that Alan was a well-known lesbian in the country.

The scene was even more interesting. When everyone laughed, mark was inexplicable. When Mark laughed, everyone was inexplicable. The whole audience looked at him. What were the goods laughing at?

Ellen said, "honey, what's so funny?"

Mark stopped laughing and said, "Alan, your stem was so funny."

Alan smiled angrily. After smelling his fart for a long time, the guy found the smell. She smiled and said, "is my joke as fleeting as the wind?"

Mark finally accepted Allen's invitation and danced this classic dance step in the tango music that was only one step away from the scene. As expected, when he seriously danced, Allen was dancing again, or performing noble and elegant Tango steps like twisting dance or electric shock. She also pointed out that mark was not standard here and there from time to time, The dance steps and body skills were not beautiful enough, which made the audience laugh constantly.

After a funny performance, everyone returned to the sofa. She was full of praise for Mark's dance steps. She was as standard as a professional player. She also laughed: "remember to call me at a party. I want to compete with you."

Mark said, "no problem. I invited you to the last party. Unfortunately, the schedule is not right."

Ellen said, "I'll be free next time. Just move the show to your house when necessary." After a few words of gossip, they turned to the subject and began to talk about today's theme, discussing Mark's understanding of superheroes.

Mark said: "I grew up in China, but I spent a lot of time studying and observing here in order to integrate here. I know I can't pass the basic education, so I stayed in junior middle school for two years and still studied in junior middle school at the age of 20. Why? Because I want to know here from the beginning. Don't you think my IQ will be so low? I can arrogantly say that my IQ is low and mentally retarded, so whoever has a high score, as long as its work scores are better than hangover and twilight, I will admit defeat. "

Mark has the qualification of arrogance. Now he is a billionaire. There are peak works talking in the entertainment and cultural circles. At present, no one can beat him in these two directions.

Alan certainly understood this. She smiled and said, "what do you think of superheroes?"

Mark said: "the birth of superhero films can be traced back to the American Westerns with a long history. Because the United States does not have a rich heroic history like other western countries, he can only fabricate heroes in his own unique way on the basis of classical heroes. If the cowboys in Westerns are heroic legends created at the expense of historical authenticity, Then superhero movies are to put the standard "American spirit" and values into the virtual world for cultural and moral re coding, so as to create American myths that can occur in any period. Superheroes were almost born in turbulent years. For example, Superman and Batman were originally born in the context of World War II in the 1930s; The mutant in X-Men is very similar to the black status in American society in the 1960s. "

Ellen said: "for superheroes, wearing masks to fight crime and uphold justice, some people think it is an act that they dare to do or not. What do you think of this?"

Mark said: "superheroes come from comics. Almost all superheroes wear masks and uniforms. These superheroes ceremonially acquire the ability to enforce the law above the social system and fight against crime in the city without constraints. Cool figures have become the representatives of fixed meaning in people's minds, Nothing can shake the link between this image and heroic status. "

Allen said, "because it's cool and has fans."

Mark said: "superheroes are also people. People who are used to a dangerous life yearn for a plain life. Once superheroes take off their masks and become ordinary people, this hypothetical society similar to western movies will conflict with the modern society with perfect legal system, and the special rights of superheroes are difficult to be recognized. In spider man 2, Dr. Octopus destroyed everywhere in the city. People asked spider man who had taken off his robe to come back. In the fight with Dr. octopus, spider man tore off his mask for the first time. "

"People want heroes," Ellen said

Mark said: "superheroes are not born with the obligation of justice. They often have tragic experiences such as family destruction, betrayal of relatives and friends, or abandonment, and these experiences often allude to some common social problems. Hulk Bruce Banner has been his father's experiment since childhood, As an adult, banner encountered an accident to protect a young colleague in a gamma ray experiment. However, banner was not killed by the radiation, but the radiation source activated the green cells his father had injected into him. Whenever he feels angry, these cells will be triggered, which will turn him into a huge Hulk. The military regards this as a military weapon and sends troops to hunt him everywhere in order to obtain his blood samples. "

"Banner is quite different. He is a tragic superhero," Allen said

Mark said: "Bruce is almost the same. He saw his parents killed by gangsters, which is the reason why he put on a bat suit and committed a crime. In the traditional hero film model, there is usually such a routine: a harmonious and beautiful society is threatened by evil, and those secular government law enforcement agencies can't do anything about this threat. At this time, A selfless superhero gave up his comfortable life and stood up to fight against evil, and finally won a decisive victory. Social order returned to calm. The heroes retired after a tragic fight and remained anonymous. The comic version of the Dark Knight overturned this traditional routine. At the end of the film, Batman handed over the captured clown to the police for trial, In order to prevent Gotham's laws from being destroyed by misguided prosecutors, Batman finally took on many crimes that did not belong to him. In the great righteousness of safeguarding his legal status, he became a wanted fugitive from all over the world. Since the 1920s and 1930s, Hollywood continues to create hero myths on the screen. If the western films in the past were simply promoting personal heroism and the American spirit of opening up and expanding territory, today's superhero films are more inclined to reflect on their own survival status. With the progress of human civilization and the continuous improvement of the legal system, the superhero mask is gradually losing its supreme law enforcement power. When the day when crime is completely eradicated in the world comes, the hero mask will be sealed forever. "

Because of the nature of indifference and the relaxed atmosphere, mark spoke up and talked a lot. Allen applauded and laughed: "who dares to say that mark doesn't understand superheroes."

Mark said: "superheroes are also human beings. Only by keeping this in mind can we make superhero films well."
