Chapter Ninety-Five: Exclusive Interview (Part II)

Andrew Solkin looked at the tall, handsome, and polite young man in front of him, not as young and rebellious as he imagined, and his handsome face and eyebrows revealed confidence and maturity that did not match his peers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Andrew received a call from Old Smith, he was still surprised, after all, Andy is a man of the hour. According to his creativity, the variety show "Meidi Got Talent" is simply a hot mess, Americans are already keen on entertainment, and it is almost every child's dream to become a star.

The talent show has undoubtedly become a shortcut to fame for ordinary people, as long as there is talent, it will not be buried, I heard that the second season has not yet started preparations, and the number of applicants has reached a terrifying number.

The song "Five Hundred Miles from Home" sings the hearts of many people who are struggling for their dreams in a foreign land, and before the single is sold, this song has been sung by countless people, and I heard that the single EP will be sold soon, and maybe it will be airborne on the charts.

All three novels made it to the best-seller list in four months, and even though "The Da Vinci Code," which had dominated the charts for many years, dropped out of the sales list in June, making "The Hunger Games" number two, it was still a surprise. In particular, "Inception", with its exquisite story structure and astonishing imagination, has been Andrew's favorite book in recent years.

The love affair with Hyun Wanka, the male talent and the appearance of the woman, made the entertainment reporters and paparazzi extremely happy.

Especially yesterday's acquisition, which caused an uproar in the media world, Andrew himself felt that Arthur Carter was Alzheimer's, and it was either Alzheimer's or crazy to let a young man who had not dried up to run a newspaper that had been in circulation for 20 years.

There are many people who are full of curiosity about the young writer who suddenly re-entered the public eye in May, but he has always refused to be interviewed, except for playing on "The Ellen Show" and then singing on "Saturday Night Live", and then no media can interview him.

As a gold medal reporter for the New York Daily News, he has seen many celebrities and dignitaries, and Andy Smith can't let him work hard to get an interview for public relations, but the arrangement of an old friend is also in the right place, if he is not interested, even if it is an old friend, he will not agree to come forward to do an exclusive interview in person.

Andy and Andrew make it to the lounge area near the floor-to-ceiling windows, two large fluffy lazy sofas, and in the middle is a small square solid wood table with a beautifully decorated wooden box on the table.

Andrew's eyes lit up, and he smiled at Andy, who was also smiling, and said, "Havana cigar!"

"Yes, it was given to me by old Arthur when he left, how about you and I talk while we sip Havana cigars?" Andy motioned for Andrew to take a seat, and he sat down on the couch himself.

"Hehe, brilliant idea, this kind of good goods are rare now, and each one is reluctant to light it at will. Andrew knew how precious the Havana cigar was and guessed that there wouldn't be many in the box.

These are a few excellent cigars, in fact, Andy took them out to plug Andrew's mouth, he knew Andrew's own preferences, knew that he was very fond of cigars, and when Arthur Carter moved out of here, he gave Andy a few.

The hand that takes people is short, and the mouth that eats people is short. The words of the ancestors of the previous life are still in my ears.

Andrew, who was scathing and spiky, smoked his own excellent cigar, so he probably wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for himself.

Looking at Andrew, who looked intoxicated, Andy relaxed a little, pulled his tie with his hand, and was about to completely relax himself when he fell into the large soft sofa.

Andrew, who was on the other side, opened his eyes and asked abruptly, "How do you describe yourself?"

Andy was slightly stunned, saw the cunning flashing in Andrew's eyes, and replied confidently: "Genius." ”

"You say you're a genius, are you arrogant?"

"I read a lot of books and I never forget them. He has an amazing talent for learning languages, and I think he can be called a genius, and young people should be more confident. ”

Andy looked at Andrew, who showed a satisfied expression, and couldn't help pouting in his heart, isn't it just pretending to be 13, who wouldn't. Andy is not prepared to be modest with him, these gold medal reporters will definitely write the report off the line if they don't like you, and even don't even mention the content of the interview, and directly inject personal feelings into the comments.

"What made you wake up and decide to buy this newspaper?"

"It's not a wake-up idea, after selling the rights to the show, I've been looking at all kinds of business opportunities, and my interest in newspapers is one of them, I heard that Mr. Carter was interested in selling, I gave up my vacation, rushed back to New York from Hawaii, met with Carter non-stop, and finally reached a consensus to start with "The New York Observer" and get involved in the media industry, I feel that its brand charm is unbelievable. ”

Andrew was still satisfied with Andy's answer, and then asked, "Why do you think you can run this newspaper that has been discovered for 20 years?"

"Well, I'll admit that I have no experience in business, but I always feel that life is all about learning through constant curves to get to the end of the straight ahead... ”

Before Andy could continue, he was interrupted by Andrew, "For example, after a year of college, you will apply for a leave of absence, and then use your spare time to fool around?"

"No, no, I chose to take a break from school to recognize what I really want to learn, after a year of study, I feel that learning French is too easy for me, after all, I am still very confident in my talent in the language, as for fooling around... It was only a brief period of self-loss, and I'm sure many of you have experienced this self-loss ... Andy looked at Andrew, who was a little embarrassed, on the other side.

Andrew's own private life was not much good, and he was not annoyed by Andy's counter-general, and nodded slightly, which was considered to agree with Andy's statement.

"You go on, how are you going to run this newspaper?"

"I believe in leaving professional things to professional people, and I'm glad I have a great, experienced team that I think we'll make a name for. ”

"But according to the report, the newspaper loses $2 million a year, how are you going to reverse it?"

"I have a lot of different plans and I'm already working on a comprehensive review of the newspaper, and the situation is very optimistic, and at the moment my main task is to make it profitable, and I believe that in the next six months people will see some changes, and Pete Kaplan will make the newspaper better. Andy felt Andrew's aura a little tightened, no longer aggressive, he also relaxed, and said confidently.

"Will there be a lot of layoffs to reduce losses?"

"No, we will add more resources, add additional features and authors, such as me, as a fairly successful writer, I have prepared a wonderful novel that will be serialized in the next issue of the weekly, we have the ability to meet the reading needs of a larger readership, and will continue to cater to the existing local loyal readers, and expand our influence among young people. ”

Andy wasted no time in making an advertisement, which was promoted by the New York Daily News, the largest circulation in the United States and Japan, which would definitely attract more people's attention.

"What do you think about so much media making a big fuss about your age?"

The corners of Andy's mouth turned up slightly, and he replied with a hint of sarcasm: "Age is my advantage, I thought they were afraid that I had enough enthusiasm, energy and creativity. ”

"Will you ever go back to school in the future?"

"Of course, I've already been in touch with my school and I've found a major that I have the potential to devote all my passions to in the future and, of course, not give up on my business. ”

"Is The Observer your commercial project?"

"No, no, it's not a business, and in New York, the Observer is a great asset, it's a non-transactional product, it's four great brands, it's got an elite readership and the best editors, it's always been a spectator in a general left-to-right, conservative or liberal environment, it's just about the facts, it's going to be maintained and continued, it's not going to change with a new boss!"
