Who is Wang Xi, an American student?

Born in 1970, Huang is a typical international student. He got a degree, got a job, got married, had children and stayed in America.

He graduated from China Jilin University, majoring in chemistry.

1994 studied in the Chinese academy of sciences before coming to the United States.

From 65438 to 0999, he received his Ph.D. in biochemistry from Rice University, Texas, USA.

In 2000, he worked in Sanofi-Aventis Genome Center, a multinational gene pharmaceutical company in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

During the day, he is a scientist doing research in the laboratory. At night, he becomes an actor. "After work, get the children ready, prepare dinner, and wait for my wife to come back from work." He shuttled through bars, nightclubs, clubs and university auditoriums in New England to perform his stand-up comedy. Boston is where he started.

Huang likes to write jokes and tell jokes when he is in Jilin University. When he was reading Reader's Digest in English class, he was particularly interested in jokes. While studying in Texas, he began to read other humorous or joke books besides Reader's Digest. The works of Mark Twain and director Woody Allen inspired him greatly and made him understand American humor and American jokes. However, he wanted to take a writing class at Rice University, but he was rejected because his writing was not good enough.

Huang's growth experience

After working in Massachusetts, he used this time to sign up for the "joke writing adult education class", but "he didn't really learn anything". He has just come into contact with the comedy circle in Boston through this channel and started his performance activities. He first appeared on the stage in 2002. He said, "It's not easy because people don't want to provide opportunities." . He works hard and keeps creating jokes. Sometimes he writes 100 jokes, only one of which is funny. The earliest audience was Huang's wife, who was an accountant. His immigrant theme, with an authentic foreign accent, quickly became popular and entered the finals of the 2003 Boston International Comedy Festival.

Eddie Brill, who helped Raterman Show find talents, listened to Huang's performance in Boston in 2005 and thought he had great potential, so he began to cultivate him. From time to time, he asked Huang to give him new materials for his performance; After three years of observation, in 2008, Brill went to Boston to watch Huang's performance, and felt that the time was ripe. He asked Huang to design a program that can be taken out, called "David? Raterman show ".

Because it is different from ordinary programs, the appearance on the national screen must be carefully designed. Brill said that he believes that Huang will eventually become a big hit with years of experience. The two began to perform jokes together on the Raterman show. Huang said that Brill arranged his own jokes in order, which made him feel more rhythmic and led him to tell some jokes.

After the success of the performance on April 17, Letterman enjoyed it very much, and rarely took be in heaven's yellow curtain call. Brill thinks that Huang is the "freshest and most successful performance" he has discovered in recent years, and he is very proud of it. Huang's colleagues in the Massachusetts laboratory were surprised and came to congratulate him and wish him fame and fortune.

Huang's performance characteristics

His talk show is completely different from the drooling of black and white Americans, but it has another kind of comedy charm-all the simplest words, dull expressions, blunt actions, and the kind of cold humor that requires the brain to understand. The most unique thing is that he uses pause and silence to control the audience, so that they can understand the meaning of jokes in this interval, or this silence itself has become a part of the performance. People laugh for the sake of silence, which is the ability of comedy masters (refer to the movie "Man on the Moon" before 15 minutes).
