It is indeed a bit strange to be able to see Barkley here, but it seems natural to think about it.

Generally speaking, such interviews will basically invite guests to come, similar to accompanying guests, and you can serve as a consultant on certain professional issues.

In tnt, Barkley has a big mouth and is a person suitable for creating topics. With him coming, he will indeed be better at the performance and attention-attracting aspects of the program.

"Yes, that's me, young man, are you my fan?" Barkley smiled.

Zhou Mubai laughed and said, "No, no, I can't worship someone who doesn't even have a champion ring."

Barkley: "…"

"boy, you offended me, be careful today!"

Barkley pretended to be fierce.

Zhou Mubai looked frightened: "No, no, the person I respect the most has changed from Michael Jordan to you!"

Barkley laughed.

The jokes that Zhou Mubai plays are actually understood in the basketball circle, and Barkley doesn't think it is a provocation to him. Zhou Mubai's expression is exaggerated when he speaks, and he looks like he is joking, so he is not afraid of causing misunderstandings.

Before the show started, Ernie Johnson also came over to say hello to Zhou Mubai first.

Ernie Johnson is a half-bald white middle-aged man who looks kind, but Zhou Mubai knows that after he appears on the show, the media person who looks smiling is not so polite to speak.

Zhou Mubai actually understands that media people are not shocking and never stop talking. As long as it is beneficial to the ratings, they can do anything, not that they are bad people.

Ernie Johnson is an old media person, so he came to Zhou Mubai first and told him some things that need attention. He also sincerely apologized to Zhou Mubai first, saying that if there is something offended during the interview, please forgive me.

Zhou Mubai said it was okay, but his vigilance was mentioned to the highest level.

Friends, please pay attention. People who usually tell you that they offend you may really offend you.

This is why Zhou Mubai actually doesn’t like fame and fortune. If it weren’t for a promise, he wouldn’t have entered this fame and fortune world.

When entering this world of fame and fortune, you have to learn to be vain and condemn. In today's situation, once the interview begins, it is the beginning of open and secret struggles.

Ernie Johnson has to be responsible for the performance of the show, and has to ask enough sharp questions to attract the audience's attention, which is also for his own fame and fortune.

Zhou Mubai also has to cooperate, but he cannot be hurt by the sharp problems, so as not to affect his reputation, which is also fame and fortune.

At the beginning of the show, Ernie Johnson began to read a lot of comments to the camera, then introduced Zhou Mubai and Barkley, and then entered the official interview session.

The entry point starts with the article "Horror Demon Guard" by ESPN.

"Hey, Zhou, have you read this article by Mark Stern [Horror Demon Guard]?"

Ernie Johnson asked.

It was the first time Zhou Mubai heard about it, so he shook his head: "Sorry, what kind of article is this? I haven't read it yet."

Ernie Johnson smiled happily, Espn is TNT's mortal enemy, and Matt Stern is also his competitor, and they have different opinions on each other.

As the protagonist of the article, Zhou Mubai has never read it, which really makes him feel gloating. When he thought of Mark Stern when he saw the show, he didn't know if he would get angry.

"Oh, you can take a look." Ernie Johnson handed Zhou Mubai a newspaper.

Zhou Mubai took it over and glanced, turned the page and glanced again, and then put it down.

Ernie Johnson smiled and said, "It's okay, you can finish watching it. We can fast forward this passage when editing it, and my interview will start with these descriptions later."

Ernie Johnson is planning to slap espn in the face step by step.

Zhou Mubai said calmly: "No, I've finished reading it."

Ernie Johnson said in surprise: "You just flipped through it casually, and it didn't take a few seconds. This is a long text of as many as six or seven thousand words."

Zhou Mubai affirmed: "It's true that I've finished reading it."

Ernie Johnson didn't believe it and said, "Okay, it seems you've been lying, you must have read it in advance."

Zhou Mubai smiled and said, "Then you must have never read this article. This article clearly says I am a genius."

Ernie Johnson showed an intriguing smile on his face: "Genius?"

Zhou Mubai spread his hands: "You can definitely test it."

Since you want to become famous, you have to use unconventional methods, such as designing your character as a genius.

Ernie Johnson looked at Barkley: "Charles, what do you think of this idea?"

Barkley grinned: "Interesting idea, this is the first time I have encountered such a thing since I started the show. I agree, but how should I test it?"

Ernie Johnson's eyes turned: "Then look at reading ability. The espn report said that you only took one night to master basketball tactics, which means that your reading ability is very powerful. Just after you read a newspaper for a few seconds, you said you have finished reading. Otherwise, I'll find a book that you can read within the specified time. If you can describe the general content, you will pass the test."

Zhou Mubai is invincible.

Ernie Johnson called the staff and whispered in his ears, and soon brought a few books.

Ernie Johnson put several books flat on the table and introduced: "There is a fashion magazine, a French recipe, a Shakespeare's [Macbeth], and an English dictionary. You can choose one to read it yourself and then repeat it. We will set the time...how to thirty minutes?"

So why is Ernie Johnson a thief? Fashion magazines and it’s not bad, but it’s easier to talk about people and things.

But how do you repeat the recipes and dictionaries?

Although Shakespeare's book is a story, it is actually more difficult.

Because the English language is updated very quickly, even for people in English-speaking countries, Shakespeare's reading difficulty is still very high, which is roughly equivalent to Chinese reading classical Chinese, and not everyone can read it.

In his opinion, Zhou Mubai actually has only one choice, which is to read fashion magazines.

Zhou Mubai nodded and said, "I can do it, no problem."

Ernie Johnson nodded: "Then let's start, I'll start the timing?"

Zhou Mubai nodded and said, "I want to increase the difficulty for myself. I think I can read some of the four books, so of course it is impossible to read them all, after all, this dictionary is too thick."

Ernie Johnson nodded in agreement and the timing began.

Ernie Johnson motioned the photographer to give a close-up to Zhou Mubai.

Zhou Mubai was calm and picked up the fashion magazine, like a naughty boy flipping a book, quickly flipping through page by page. In just five minutes, the entire magazine was finished.

Then Zhou Mubai picked up the French dinner recipe. Because the recipe is exquisitely made, it is made of thick coated paper, so it looks thick, but in fact there are many pictures inside, and the content is not much. It is faster now and it takes only three minutes to finish it.

As for Shakespeare's [Macbeth], the full text is only 110,000 words, and it is just a small booklet. Zhou Mubai took six minutes to read it.
Chapter completed!
