Chapter 948: Breaking the News Yourself
"Okay," Fang still agreed, "and after the meeting, we will immediately select and contact the media reporters for the interview." What are the requirements for the journalists to cover the interviews, and when is the time set for them?"
In terms of Xiao Yao's fame, the number of times he has been interviewed by media reporters is relatively small. Unless he is caught promoting his works or participating in activities, Xiao Yao rarely accepts interviews for personal matters, and he also has a not very good interview evaluation among media reporters.
This time, the studio took the initiative to contact the reporter to invite him to interview Xiao Yao, and the reason was the topic of Xiao Yao's recent visit to the casino, and Fang still believed that no matter which reporter they contacted, the other party should be unwanted. Therefore, Fang still thinks that the selection and time of the reporters for the interview can be completely on Xiao Yao's side.
"Candidates, that's what I just said, those who oppose it, don't have a good relationship with us, it doesn't matter what else you do. Xiao Yao said, "As for the time, of course, the better the better." Now it's past 10 o'clock in the evening on my side, and it is past 1 o'clock in the afternoon on your side. Well, two hours later, at four o'clock in the afternoon, I'll connect with the reporter! So that the report of this interview should be available online before prime time tonight. ”
"Two hours?" Fang still hesitated, "Is the time too rushed?"
"I'm not saying we can't find anyone on our side, it's that we don't have much time to prepare. Fang still added.
"Don't prepare!" Xiao Yao said, "In this interview, the reporter will definitely ask me why I go to the casino so often, and I will not explain the real reason." So, the content of this interview is not the point, my state is the point. The reporter should be able to record the process of the online interview, and I will record it as well. What you have to do is wait for the news report to come out, post the video of my interview, and then find someone to analyze and comment on my state during the interview. To put it simply, it is to tell everyone that a person who is addicted to gambling will not be as calm and organized as I interviewed him. ”
"Regardless of the content of the interview, is it okay to only analyze the performance and status of the commentary being interviewed?" Fang still asked.
"Why not?" Xiao Yao said, "Judging and speculating on some experiences and things through people's behavior is originally the content of behavioral psychology, and some psychologists or police interrogators will use it in this area." This aspect of the content should also be attractive. Of course, I'm not asking you to find a psychologist or a police officer to analyze me, that's too fake. Find some seemingly ordinary passerby accounts or small V accounts with interests and experiences in this area to post this kind of comment, and then find a way to shift the point of discussion to this. ”
"My request is: the heat of discussing this matter does not have to disappear completely, or even if it does not go down, as long as the trend of public opinion does not continue to be biased towards saying that I am depraved and addicted to gambling," Xiao Yao continued, "I don't care when the interview is over, you decide for yourself how to operate!"
Fang still turned his head to look at the person in charge of the public relations department, who thought about it for a while and nodded.
"Okay!" Fang still saw the head of the public relations department nodding and agreed.
"Then let's do it first, thank you for your hard work!" Xiao Yao disconnected.
"Tim, in two hours, I'm going to be interviewed by a reporter from a media outlet in China through the Internet. After closing the computer, Xiao Yao said to Tim Haggis, "I'll be in this living room during the interview. ”
When Xiao Yao and Fang still connected with others, Tim Haggis was also in the living room of the suite. Xiao Yao had a meeting with Fang still and others, and he didn't need to think about whether Tim Haggis could understand, so what he just said to Fang still and others was in Chinese, and Tim Haggis couldn't understand it.
When Xiao Yao was interviewed by reporters for a while, he would still be in this living room. The suite was for two people, so Xiao Yao explained to Tim Haggis.
"Is this what you do?" said Tim Haggis, "do you need me to speak for you?"
"Do you want to appear in the news of the Huaxia media?" Xiao Yao looked at Tim Haggis, thought for a while, and then shook his head, "Although I would like to show off to the people of Huaxia that I have an FBI agent friend, after all, you are a special profession, and you are not suitable to appear in the media, at least not because of my private affairs." The news of my visit to the casino was reported by the American media and transmitted to Huaxia, and the news about me in Huaxia may not necessarily not reach the United States, which may have an impact on your future work. ”
"Well," Tim Haggis shrugged and spread his hands, "since you say that, then I'll just sit out of the camera's footage and not speak." ”
"Are you going to sit here with me for two hours?" Xiao Yao asked, "It's almost eleven o'clock in the evening." ”
"Ah, yes," said Tim Haggis, "it was early morning in two hours, and I went back to my room and went to sleep." Don't worry, I won't run out of nowhere. ”
Tim Haggis went back to his room to rest, and Xiao Yao also went back to his bedroom. However, Xiao Yao didn't go to sleep, but went to take a shower and change his clothes to make himself look more energetic.
Huaxia Shencheng. After disconnecting from Xiao Yao, the people in Xiao Yao's studio took action in their own duties.
The first step is to identify who will cover the journalists.
Since Xiao Yao is in the United States, the way of interviewing is online video connection, not face-to-face, and the selection of this media reporter does not have to be limited to Shencheng. Xiao Yao's requirements are not high, one is a media reporter who has reprinted and commented on the news of Xiao Yao's trip to the casino before, and has an opposing attitude, and the other is time. In response to these two points, the people in the studio will make a list according to the first point, and then call them one by one, as long as the time can be met, it will be fine.
The first media reporter on the studio's list, named Wang Wen, is in his thirties, has worked in this industry for more than ten years, has rich experience, and can be regarded as a well-known name in the entertainment media industry.
As an entertainment reporter who has been in the industry for more than ten years, Wang Wen can be regarded as watching Xiao Yao debut and become popular.
After so many years in the industry, Wang Wen has never seen a star like Xiao Yao. Film and television and music, in front of and behind the scenes, not only all-round development, but also showed extraordinary talent, at a young age at home and abroad have achieved quite good results, coupled with the identity of the top student in the college entrance examination and the top student in the art examination, the performance in a series of events such as the Huaxia earthquake rescue, the American hijacking, robbery, kidnapping, etc., Wang Wen actually admires Xiao Yao very much.
Because of this private appreciation, Wang Wen paid special attention to Xiao Yao's news. Therefore, when he knew that there was a news report about Xiao Yao in the United States, he immediately went to understand it and reprinted it.
From the bottom of his heart, Wang Wen actually doesn't think it's a big deal for celebrities to go to foreign casinos to play on vacation, but what stimulates him is the photos in the news reports and the description of the time he went in and out of the casino. Judging from these, Xiao Yao doesn't seem to be just playing, but more like indulging in it.
Wang Wen feels that for a star of Xiao Yao's level, the consequences of becoming addicted to gambling are more serious than being addicted to drugs.
Poison has a relatively fixed price, and although the cost is large, it is predictable and calculated. With Xiao Yao's current net worth and his family conditions, even if it is a toxic problem, his economic conditions are completely affordable. But gambling is a bottomless pit with no limits, and once you indulge in it, the consequences are quite serious. To put it simply, poison will not make Xiao Yao bankrupt in the short term, but gambling is okay.
Therefore, when reprinting the news report of the American media, Wang Wen expressed his own comments with a critical attitude.
Wang Wen was naturally overjoyed when he received a call from Xiao Yao's studio saying that he was invited to interview Xiao Yao, and the reason was about Xiao Yao's trip to the casino, but after listening to the studio's introduction to the method and time of the interview, Wang Wen was a little hesitant. There is nothing wrong with the online video interview, although he has no previous experience in such interviews, but he is confident that he can do it. The problem is the timing of the interview. When he received the call, he was about to leave for an event to report on a press conference attended by many celebrities. The press conference has not yet started, and it is expected to last a lot, and two hours will definitely not end.
When Wang Wen tentatively asked whether it was possible to change the interview period, the other party immediately replied no. Since Wang Wen couldn't cooperate with him in time, they would find other reporters. Just when the other party was about to hang up the phone, Wang Wen gritted his teeth and agreed. As for the subsequent press conference, he was going to go to the boss and ask the boss to send someone else. Compared with that press conference, he valued the opportunity to interview Xiao Yao more.
The boss heard that he had the opportunity to interview Xiao Yao, and readily agreed to Wang Wen's request.
There are still two hours left before the interview time, which is a tight time.
Wang Wen felt that Xiao Yao's studio did not find the boss of the company first and asked the boss to assign tasks, but contacted him directly, which means that the other party must not spend money to ask his own company to send them an advertorial. But even so, Wang Wen immediately threw all the things about the press conference behind him, seized the time to make an outline of the interview in about half an hour, and then sent it to the relevant personnel of Xiao Yao's studio.
When a reporter is interviewing, he doesn't just ask whatever he wants. In many cases, it is necessary to communicate with the other party in advance about the relevant interview content and questions, especially the kind of one-on-one interview with the time and place, the reporter generally needs to communicate with the other party in advance to discuss which questions can be asked and which questions cannot be asked.
The people from Xiao Yao's studio said that the topic of this interview was about Xiao Yao's trip to the casino. Wang Wen knew that Xiao Yao's studio wanted to clarify or save the direction of public opinion, so some things must be more sensitive and could not be mentioned. Although he didn't completely plan to follow the outline, some questions would definitely be asked to Xiao Yao during the interview, but at least this advance communication still had to be done.
What Wang Wen didn't expect was that someone from Xiao Yao's studio directly called him back and told him that he didn't need to submit an interview outline in advance for them to review. He interviewed Xiao Yao, he asked whatever he wanted, whether Xiao Yao answered or not, it was up to Xiao Yao to decide, and whether he could ask something from Xiao Yao's mouth and what he could ask was also based on his own ability, and the studio did not make hard and fast rules.
Wang Wen was not only surprised, but also very happy. Since the other party does not mandate the content of the interview, he puts part of his mind on the effect of the interview. He wasn't sure what kind of environment Xiao Yao was in during the interview, but he still had time to make his interview environment more comfortable.
At half past three in the afternoon, Xiao Yao's studio sent Wang Wen an account for network communication software. Let Wang Wen add the contact by himself, and then send or wait for the other party to send a video call request at four o'clock. Wang Wen checked the basic information of the account and found that it was basically empty, and immediately understood that this should be a small account that Xiao Yao specially registered for this interview, and it is estimated that it will be used this time.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Wen's application to add friends was approved, and then he received a request for a video call. Changing to an empty office, Wang Wen, who had prepared various recording equipment, immediately clicked on the connection.
"Mr. Xiao, hello!" Seeing Xiao Yao in the video screen, Wang Wen smiled and waved his hand to greet.
"Wang Ji, hello, just call me Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao smiled.
"Okay, Xiao Yao," Wang Wen nodded, "Thank you for accepting my interview, then let's get started!"
"Thank you!" Xiao Yao argued, waved his hand, and said, "Please!"
"First question, where are you now? Is it in Las Vegas in the United States?" Wang Wen asked.
"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "I'm in Las Vegas, USA, and where I am now is the living room of the hotel suite where I live." For the sake of privacy, I won't specify which hotel it is. ”
"Understood!" Wang Wen nodded and reminded, "We will put this interview video of ours on the company's official social media accounts and official accounts, do you need us to do some processing for your background in the future?"
In the video screen, in addition to Xiao Yao, you can also see some furnishings and decorations in the room he is in. If netizens have the heart to check, they can find out which hotel Xiao Yao lives in through the background decorations.
"Thank you, but don't worry," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I have already arranged the environment, not the original layout of the hotel room." ”
"Okay," Wang Wen nodded, and continued to ask, "What are you going to Las Vegas for?"
"Take a vacation!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "After the crew of "Beautiful Sister" is completed, I will give myself a vacation when I am available, come to the United States to play, relax, and recharge." ”
"Are you going alone?" asked Wang Wen.
"Yes, I'm here alone!" Xiao Yao replied.
"Didn't your parents go with you?" Wang Wen asked.
"No!" Xiao Yao said, "My parents are not old enough to need me to take care of them when they travel, and I don't need them to take care of them, so we rarely travel together." We are different ages and preferences, they live in a two-person world, I play mine, and we don't interfere with each other!"
"What about Sun Tingting, why didn't she come with you?" Wang Wen asked, "You are just a two-person world?"
"The reason why she didn't come is a secret, we didn't plan to make it public," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "but I hope that this interview of ours can be seen by more people, so I decided to break the news to everyone myself and tell you the reason why she didn't come to the United States with me!"
"Breaking the news?" Wang Wen's eyes widened a little, and he asked with some excitement, "What is it?"
