Chapter 2 Interview (Part II)

"Hehe, let's talk about the rest. ”

"In fact, I have always had a doubt, Li Zhe, how did you grow up to create so many best-selling works with a variety of themes. From the martial arts of "Zhu Xian", to youth themes such as "Those Years", and then from science fiction to the tomb robbery series, and even less commonly, the romance and foodie trilogy was written from the perspective of girls, how did you come up with so much creative inspiration involving various themes!"

The question asked by Yang Yan was the part that everyone was most amazed by Li Zhe.

"Zhu Xian", "Inception", "Tomb Robbery Notes"... His novels involve a variety of types of themes, and they are masterpieces, if it weren't for Li Zhe's just an ordinary family, his parents are also ordinary people, and there are no literate people in the three generations of his ancestors, it would not be Han Shao who fell into the ghostwriting door, but he Li Zhe.

"Geniuses are not all like this, what people can't do, I'll do it!" How can Li Zhe explain, he can't expose the essence of the copyist, and he can only boast about himself and prevaricate with genius.

"Well, that's true. So you feel that there is no need to study anymore, so you chose to drop out of high school like Han Shao?"

Yang Yan asked a very sharp question, which is also a sensitive topic that has been controversial in society recently, and it is easy to fall into the pit if you don't answer it well.

However, knowing that the other party was digging a pit, Li Zhe naturally would not jump in stupidly anymore.

"Han Shao dropped out, but I'm not counted, I didn't even get into high school, so how can I be qualified to drop out!"

After that, Li Zhe began to change the topic and talked about his childhood experience.

"I remember when I was in elementary school, I liked to read some books about popular science. For example, the reason for the extinction of the mammoths, the Frozen Man Immortality Project, and the scientific knowledge in the book at that time seemed to open the door to a new world for me, and let me know many unknown things. ”

"It also lays a foundation of knowledge for you to create science fiction in the future and write so many imaginative novels!"

"Sort of, but when I was in junior high school, I became obsessed with martial arts novels again. ”

"Have you read the martial arts novels of those authors?"

"Many people, Liang Yusheng, Jin Yong, Huang Yi, and many works by unknown authors, there was a rented bookstore near the school at that time, and the breakfast money given by the family every day was used by me to rent books, read in the school, and read it when I returned home, when it was fast, I could read three or four novels a day with seventy or eighty thousand words!

When I was in junior high school, I came into contact with online literature by chance, and at that time I could read more novels, and the themes were more abundant, such as fantasy, Xianxia, and urban, and almost any kind of novel could be found on the Internet. At that time, many students skipped class to go to Internet cafes to play games, but I was to read online novels, and in order to save money, I would stay all night, and every time I watched it, it was a night. ”

"And what happened later?" asked Yang Yan.

"It's just that I wasted my studies, I failed in the high school entrance examination, and I didn't get into high school. ”

"I didn't even think about repeating it at the time!"

"I remember that the total score of the cultural class in the high school entrance examination was 540, and I only took 134 at that time, and the mathematics was only 17....... Li Zhe shook his head.

"At that time, the family arranged for me to stay at home and play for half a year, and when I reached the age of 16 and got my ID card, I went to learn a skill and enter the society early. At that time, I was very confused about the future, I stopped going to school, I was going to go into society, but I didn't know what I should do, until I saw a news article on the Internet about Han Shao's interview.

The reporter asked: "Han Shao, what do you live on when you don't go to school?"

Han Shao: "Rely on the manuscript fee!"

At that time, my idea was very simple, in fact, I just wanted to try writing, and I didn't think about publishing or earning manuscript fees. So I conceived "Zhu Xian", and it took me almost a month to write 100,000 words, and then I uploaded it to the Internet, but I didn't expect it to be ....... ”

"I didn't expect it to become popular on the Internet. ”

"Yes, there were a lot of readers on the Internet at that time. ”

"Then, publishers began to come to the door!"

"First it was Wanwan, and after its publication, "Zhu Xian" sold well in Hong Kong and Taiwan, so the mainland publishing house also came. ”

"Not only is it good, as soon as "Zhu Xian" was published, it rushed to the top of the bestseller list in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it can really be said to be an instant hit!"

"Listening to Li Zhe talk about his experience in the past period, we can see that the reason why he was able to write so many excellent works with different themes and rich genres in his future creative career is not only by virtue of his personal talent, but also from the rich knowledge accumulated through massive reading in his youth!"

"That's right, Li Zhe!"

"Yes, we are all standing on the shoulders of giants!"

……

"I heard that you signed up for Nortel to perform, why do you suddenly want to be an actor?"

Li Zhe pondered for a moment: "I guess I want to try a new life experience! In the past few years, the speed of creation has become faster and faster, and most of the sales of his works have been good after they are published." However, my passion for writing has become less and less, and my mood has become more and more numb, and it is difficult to find the same emotion as when I first wrote.

I remember that when "Zhu Xian" wrote about the death of Baguio, I was sad all night and couldn't sleep all night. ”

"Now!" Li Zhe shook his head.

"Then you're going to learn acting!"

"Yes, to experience the joys and sorrows of different lives. ”

"It can be seen that you have slowed down your creative speed in the past two years, and it seems that you are slowly starting to reduce production?"

"I can't say that the production is reduced, just to ensure the quality, to write some more innovative and emotional works, and to be a screenwriter and learn to act, I am busy with a lot of things, and I rarely have time to calm down and write. ”

"Li Zhe, you have been studying acting for a while, do you have any works planned to participate in at present?"

"Yes!"

"Recently, our studio has planned to work with Sunantai to adapt "Shanshan Comes to Eat" in my romance foodie trilogy into a TV series. ”

"Oh, that's good news for fans of the novel. ”

"Li Zhe, I have a question, the three books "Shanshan Come to Eat", "The Chef of the Flower Teapot" and "Flower Thousand Bone" have different themes, why do you call it a foodie trilogy?

"Shanshan and Xiaogu are both snacks, and Yijiao is a cook, and they are both very cute. ”

"Readers also liked it, and I heard that the sales were very good after publication. ”

"Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the mainland have sold tens of millions of copies of this series combined!"

"Quite an achievement. ”

"At that time, how did you suddenly think of writing a girl's romance?"

"I can only say that the market needs it, and the facts have proved it. ”

"However, because the style is too different from the previous works, many people accuse you of plagiarism, what do you think?

"I did plagiarize... Plagiarize Xinhua Dictionary!"

Yang Yan: "...".

Yang Yan: "The more we talk, the more we deviate, let's go back to the previous topic, "Shanshan Comes to Eat" was adapted into a TV series, what role will Li Zhe play in the play?"

"Hehe, Sister Yan, you can guess!"

“… , it won't be Feng Teng!"

"Yes. ”

"I didn't expect it, it's true! However, Li Zhe, you can be regarded as bringing capital into the group!"

Li Zhe: "...".

"Just kidding, but as a rookie actor, will you feel a lot of pressure to challenge the male lead in idol dramas for the first time?

"There's definitely pressure, after all, I don't have much acting experience. But fortunately, Feng Teng's character design is my true character, and the role itself does not have high requirements for acting skills, many times as long as you put on a cold look. ”

"What about the heroine? You also said that you like Xue Shanshan the most, have you considered the candidate for the role? If you can't find an actor to play Xue Shanshan like Baguio, will you choose to stop this project again?

"But it won't be, in fact, the reason why I decided to put "Shanshan to Eat" on the screen this time is largely because I have already found Xue Shanshan in my eyes. ”

"Oh, that's great news for everyone, can you tell us who it is?"

"It still needs to be kept secret for the time being, but today, I can draw a cartoon of Xue Shanshan's characters on the spot, Sister Yan, you can take a look, and then guess which actress it looks like!

……

"Very cute girl, she is the Xue Shanshan in your heart? Li Zhe, I didn't expect you to not only write well, but also draw comics!"

Yang Yan took the sketch from Li Zhe's hand, and saw a few strokes, and a cartoon girl with a ball-combed hair and a round face jumped on the paper and exclaimed.

"Looks like ...... Lin Yichen, she thought carefully for a moment and hesitated.

Li Zhe: "...".

"It's really Lin Yichen!" Seeing that Li Zhe was silent, Yang Yan was surprised.

"Shanshan Come to Eat" will be cast soon, and everyone will know by then!" Li Zhe smiled, but did not admit or deny it.

"When do you think the TV series will meet everyone?"

"Next year's summer file!"

……

"Okay, thank you Li Zhe. ”
