Section 224 Interview (2)
It is precisely for this reason that the editor-in-chief of his newspaper reluctantly squeezed a sum of money out of the poor Baba's funds to make travel expenses for himself, and let himself go to the scene in Ginza, Tokyo to collect information, but when I got here, let alone the monster, reporters from all over the world gathered here, there were more people with cameras than guns, and the scene was cleaned up, not to mention the corpses of monsters, even ordinary people couldn't see a few, did they want to take a bunch of pictures of the ruins of Ginza and go back to the business?
took the precious funds out to spend, but when I went back, I couldn't get the manuscript to pay the errand, and I had to suffer from the editor-in-chief K when I went back.
Desperate, Ye Huilan had to find another way: to compete for positive reporting, she is definitely not as good as those big media, they have sufficient funds and a wide range of roads, whether it is in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department or the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, they have connections and are well-informed, and they will definitely not be able to play with their own small pheasant publications.
If you want to be distinctive, you can only find a different way to report the personal experiences and feelings of ordinary citizens and tourists in this huge disaster, so that readers can have a more sense of substitution and attract readers.
Previously, Ye Huilan also interviewed several young people in Tokyo, and when they faced the media, those interviewees were very excited, and their experiences were fluttering, trying to show their bravery, composure, or foresight, and also tried to show the timidity of the people around them, so as to set off their bravery.
In contrast, Mr. Xu, who is also a young man, his reaction was a little too dull. He cherished words like gold, and almost simply talked about his situation, without excitement. No curiosity, no personal opinions.
Ye Huilan was a little curious: This Mr. Xu's reaction is too bland, right? As a young man. When interviewed by the media, talk about this supernatural news. He wasn't excited at all? Didn't he have a curiosity about the unknown world? As a young man, didn't he have anything to show himself?
Ye Huilan was unwilling, she continued to ask: "Mr. Xu, the Japanese government and the Self-Defense Forces have not announced the result of the monster until now, nor have they released the body of the monster - do you think that the monster is dead or still alive?"
Xu Yan said calmly: "This will have to wait for the government to announce it, and we, as ordinary people, don't know the situation, so it is impossible to guess accurately." ”
"That. Mr. Xu, what do you think personally?"
Xu Yan groaned slightly, and he said, "I think the monster should be dead." ”
Ye Huilan was slightly excited—this guy was finally willing to say something personal: "Ah, Mr. Xu, why do you think so?"
"It's on TV, and the monster has been hit by several missiles, so how can it survive?"
Ye Huilan was finally completely disappointed, she wondered how there could be such a boring person in the world - in the eyes of those of us who do Strange News magazine. What monster can't survive a few missiles, is it still qualified to be called a monster?
As a newspaper media that adheres to the style of non-shocking and death, and deliberately pursues the theme of thriller, Ye Huilan is really disappointed to encounter this kind of serious and rigorous interviewee.
She put away her interview notes. He complained: "Mr. Xu, you mainland compatriots, you are really serious in your speech! But it's so sophisticated and cautious to speak, I think. You don't have to.
We're not holding a press conference, and we're not doing a government. This is just a casual publication, and it is just entertainment for the readers, and it is estimated that not many readers will take our report seriously. I think you're too reserved. You just overdo it a little bit and exaggerate, but it doesn't matter, after all, we are entertainment news, not a regular state-run report. ”
Xu Yan smiled and shook his head: "No way, the habit we have developed since childhood is like this - no matter what it is used for, I have to be responsible for my words and deeds, and I can't say anything." I'm really sorry to disappoint you, Miss Ye. ”
Ye Huilan looked at Xu Yan, but suddenly felt very admired - when she was used to seeing the young people in Taiwan popular "Japanese and Korean style", "pseudo-motherhood", and "otaku family", young people in the mainland still maintained a serious, cautious and meticulous style, she felt that this Mr. Xu was really amazing.
She smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, I think we are all about the same age, and we can be regarded as the same age, but compared to you young people in the mainland, we young people in Taiwan seem to be very naïve, like children." I admire you very much, the boys on the mainland seem to be very mature and responsible, and they are very manly. In contrast, our young people in Taiwan always seem to be missing something, which makes people feel as if they are not very reliable. ”
Knowing that the other party was complimenting himself, Xu Yan also shook his head with a smile: "Miss Ye, you have won the award." In fact, on our mainland, there are also many young people who are not successful, and there are many people who are still staying at home in their thirties, and who have been eating their parents. There are a lot of young talents on Taiwan's treasure island, right? Just like I remember......"
Xu Yan's mind turned around, but he couldn't find any famous young talents in Taiwan in his mind, so he had to say vaguely: "Just like your Jay Chou and Mayday, those stars became famous at a very young age, isn't it just as good?"
Ye Huilan smiled: "Mr. Xu, this is different. ”
She spread out the interview notebook and brought the topic back to the topic: "Mr. Xu, we watched the live broadcast, on the night of the monster night, according to the TV station's filming, a mysterious girl appeared in Ginza Town, she confronted and fought with the monster - that live broadcast, Mr. Xu, you have also watched it, right?"
Xu Yan tried to control himself, not to look at Zhu Youxiang: "I've seen it, what's the problem?"
But Xu Yan doesn't watch it, but it doesn't mean that others don't watch it, Ye Huilan turned her head to look at Zhu Youxiang, and said with a smile: "I watched the live broadcast, the mysterious woman who fought with the monster seems to be about the same figure as Miss Zhu......"
Hearing Ye Huilan say this, Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang glanced at each other and smiled faintly with tacit understanding. They didn't say anything - they both understood that the other wasn't really guessing or doubting themselves. She's just talking. If you solemnly explain or cover it up, it will make the other party even more suspicious.
"Mr. Xu. Isn't it strange that a mysterious girl can fight a powerful monster that can't even kill a missile...... What do you think is the origin of that girl? Is she a kung fu master, or is she a supernatural person? Or, like that monster, she is not a normal human being. Just become like us humans -- which one do you think is more likely?"
Xu Yan glanced at Zhu Youxiang, and at this time, his naughty heart suddenly flared up, and he said slowly: "What is the identity of that mysterious girl? This, I really can't think of it--in this way, you might as well ask Miss Zhu about this question, she must have some opinions......
He looked at Zhu Youxiang with a smile: This can be regarded as a report for a report, and a revenge for the other party who said that he was a reporter of the "Pig Raising Daily".
Xu Yan suddenly threw the question over. For a while, it really caught Zhu Youxiang off guard. She glared at Xu Yan, knowing that Xu Yan was taking revenge on her prank just now.
Zhu Youxiang said lightly: "I think that the mysterious woman should be a cultivator. Seeing that the demons were rampant, she stepped forward and slay the demons. Eradicate harm for the people -- isn't that the case all the legends say? Where do demons and monsters appear? In the end, there are always cultivators who come to kill demons. ”
"Cultivator?"
Hearing Zhu Youxiang put forward this concept, Ye Huilan's eyes lit up. She quickly jotted it down in her notes and nodded frequently: "Miss Zhu's idea is very novel! Yes, compared to concepts such as visitors from outside the world and strange people, we Chinese, the concept of cultivators is more acceptable, and everyone likes to watch such news."
Yes, why did the Self-Defense Forces not find the corpse of the monster after the incident? Such a big monster, more than ten meters long and weighing more than 100 tons, such a big monster, even if it was a corpse, who wanted to hide it, it was not an easy task--why did it disappear without a trace?
It's probably that it was subdued and taken away by a cultivator, just like in Journey to the West, Guanyin Bodhisattva subdued all the demons and monsters and sent them to be a janitor -- a monster that can't even be killed by the Self-Defense Force missiles, but it was wiped out by the cultivators? Okay, this news is good, attractive enough, and the strength of the news is enough!"
Ye Huilan held her chin with one hand, and she said to herself: "In this case, it can be justified." It's just that the horror level seems to be a little close, and it doesn't attract attention enough......"
She looked at Zhu Youxiang and asked in a consultative tone: "Miss Zhu, look, it's okay to say this: let's not talk about cultivators, that mysterious girl, she is a mortal immortal!"
"Immortals?" Zhu Youxiang said in surprise: "Miss Ye, cultivators are just cultivators who aim to become immortals, and they are not the same thing as real immortals, right?
Ye Huilan said with a smile: "I didn't expect Miss Zhu to be so young and so familiar with our traditional culture and folklore, and few young people now know this."
Miss Zhu, aren't immortals just cultivators who have attained the Dao? Aren't cultivators the ones who aspire to become immortals but have not yet attained the Dao? It makes sense to combine the two of them into one......
Zhu Youxiang argued: "Miss Ye, this is completely different! Even though people in cultivation have all kinds of magical skills, their essence is still human, not immortal! If a cultivator wants to become an immortal, it must be based on the standard of consummatory ascension.
Shun it as a person, reverse it as an immortal, after the ascension, people have undergone a fundamental change, after becoming an immortal, people will no longer be human!
If you can't ascend to the Tao, even if you cultivate for 10,000 years, you are still a human being, and you can't be called an immortal. Humans and immortals, which are completely different existences, how can they be turned into one?
If any cultivator is so arrogant and arrogant that he dares to call himself an immortal and go out and publicize it, it will make people laugh at him, and his fellow Taoists will say that he does not know the heavens and the earth......."
Xu Yan coughed a few times - Zhu Youxiang seemed to be more and more addicted the more she talked, and Xu Yan had to interrupt her, lest she leak her mouth and reveal her flaws.
Ye Huilan looked at Zhu Youxiang dumbfounded, and then she reacted and exclaimed, "Miss Zhu." You're amazing, you're so knowledgeable! in terms of traditional culture. Your attainments are so deep and so profound. I'm afraid that the editor in charge of Chinese myths and legends in our newspaper is not as knowledgeable as yours.
I usually thought that the so-called cultivators and immortals were actually the same thing, but I didn't expect them to have such a difference. Miss Zhu, if you have time in the future, if you have texts and manuscripts in this regard, please submit more articles to our newspaper, and we will give you priority in hiring, and the remuneration will be preferential.
However, our news. It's mainly based on legends and anecdotes, and in terms of rigor, there is no need to pursue it too much. I think it's better to call that mysterious girl a fairy, so that it can be explained. Because the demon who couldn't even be killed by the missiles of the Self-Defense Forces was eliminated by her, and such a skill should be called a god......"
Zhu Youxiang argued: "The difference between immortals and immortals is not distinguished by supernatural powers. Ascension is a separate ......"
Xu Yan: "Ahem, cough~~"
Ye Huilan continued: "Second, according to legend, immortals are immortal, so the mysterious girl who appeared last night still looks like a girl. In fact. This kind of master of cultivation can still fight against monsters, she definitely can't be such a young person. Maybe it's an old man in her eighties, nineties, or even hundreds of years old, and most of her magic spells are used to calm her face. That's why I can keep the appearance of a girl......"
Zhu Youxiang's face turned red - Xu Yan was really afraid that if this Miss Ye continued to entangle this issue. Zhu Youxiang might release a flying sword to kill her, and he coughed dryly: "Ahem, Miss Ye, please talk about the point, talk about the point!"
"Oh, yes! Only by calling her a fairy can we explain why that mysterious girl looks so young, but yet she is so powerful...... Actually, I'm not talking too much, she can stay young forever, and she can fly the eaves to kill demons and demons, so even if she is a fairy, it is completely reasonable......
Well, Miss Zhu, you see, I can't say this: the immortals in the sky saw that the demons were rampant on the earth, so the immortals went down to the earth to eliminate the evil and cut off the demons...... Well, then our title could be changed to 'Chinese Immortals Rise to Glory Overseas, Kill Demons on the Streets of Tokyo - Immortal and Demon War, Grievances and Secrets for 10,000 Years, Mortal Duel between the Two Camps of Immortals and Demons in the World' - according to a well-informed and reliable insider......"
Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang looked at each other. Originally, Xu Yan had planned not to say much, but after listening to this passage, he still couldn't help it: "Excuse me, interrupt, Miss Ye, I want to ask - according to a well-informed and reliable insider - may I ask, who is this insider?"
Ye Huilan smiled: "This, since I am interviewing Mr. Xu, Miss Zhu and Miss Huang, this reliable person is naturally you." ”
Xu Yan nodded: "It's also my honor to be able to do my best for Miss Ye, but why does your words sound awkward? It seems that someone is very familiar with those immortals, and he will reveal inside information to you...... Is there such a well-informed person in the world?"
Ye Huilan was stunned for a moment, she thought about it: "Mr. Xu, you are right, we are used to this sentence, but now on this occasion, this is really inappropriate......
Ye Huilan took out the notebook, scribbled and changed it, and wrote, but she suddenly frowned again: "The manuscript is probably available, but there are still some materials missing...... By the way, Miss Zhu, what is the name of the female fairy who killed the demon?"
Zhu Youxiang looked at her in surprise: "Miss Ye, why do you ask me?"
"Hehe, Miss Zhu, I'm not good at traditional myths and folklore, and it's rare to meet an expert like Miss Zhu today, so I won't bother the two masters: I think, you are more familiar with our traditional Chinese myths and stories, and you will help me think of a goddess in our Chinese immortal system...... It's best to have a female fairy with a name and a certain reputation, like a fairy girl, so that everyone will find it interesting when they look at it!"
Without waiting for Zhu Youxiang to speak, Xu Yan hurriedly said to Ye Huilan: "This matter, don't bother Xiao Zhu, I remember, in ancient times, there was a Xuanyun female sword fairy, she was the most jealous and hateful, usually walked the world as an ordinary girl, and when the demons hurt people, she stepped forward, slashed the demon with a sharp sword, killed countless demons, saved the people, and made countless merits. ”
Listening to Xu Yan's words, Zhu Youxiang looked ashamed and annoyed, she glared at Xu Yan fiercely, but saw Xu Yan looking at her with a smile, looking naughty.
The reporter named Ye Huilan listened very carefully, and asked Xu Yan to write the word "Xuanyun" on a blank paper, she lowered her head and thought for a while, but shook her head and said: "Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, Mr. Xu, I am a graduate of the Department of Ancient Chinese at National Taiwan University, and I have a little knowledge of classical Chinese fairy legends, but the Xuan Yun fairy you mentioned, I really have never heard of it." It sounds like this Xuanyun fairy is jealous and hateful, slaying demons and destroying demons, why does it sound like a character like Zhong Kui? Are you confusing the two of them?"
Xu Yanqiang couldn't help laughing - Zhong Kui was a native of the Tang Dynasty, and the legend said that he was a righteous and jealous cultivator, and his biggest deed in his life was to kill demons and eliminate demons. But he also has a significant feature that has been remembered, that is, his appearance is particularly ugly - comparing Zhu Youxiang, a beautiful girl with bright eyes and clean teeth, to Zhong Kui, it is estimated that she is uncomfortable.
