Chapter Sixty-Eight: It's on TV
The next morning, a knock on the door woke the Dragon Prince from his sleep.
Looking up from the computer desk, he sucked his saliva back.
In a dream just now, he dreamed that he won half of the money in the bet, and then the income from the book made him enter the top ten of the Chinese rich list in one fell swoop.
Just as he was living a life of spending money in his dream, he was awakened by this knock on the door.
Dissatisfied with his eyes and looking at the surrounding environment, Prince Long realized that this place was the room that Qidian arranged for himself to stay in yesterday, not in his own home.
The computer on the desk was still on, and when I looked at the time in the lower right corner, it was just seven o'clock.
Prince Long rubbed his face, walked to the door and pulled it open.
As soon as the door opened, the sound of 'clicking' photos was endless.
Prince Long, who had been lying on his desk all night last night, had greasy and messy hair, dull eyes, and red marks on his face that came out of the pillow on his arm.
The whole person looked extremely sloppy and haggard.
"What are you doing, who allowed you to shoot me!" said the Dragon Prince, covering his face in a panic.
It's just that the people who took pictures didn't pay attention to Prince Long's question at all.
The moment he asked, seven or eight microphones were handed over.
"Hello Prince Long, I am a reporter from Huaxia Entertainment at eight o'clock in the morning, this time you and the new writer Ban Yuanjun were involved in a big gamble with more than 100 million yuan on Weibo, it is said that the cause was caused by your suppression of him, is this the case?"
"We are happy to be in the morning newspaper, may I ask Mr. Prince Long, what is the reason why you are so confident to devote yourself so much money to this gamble? Don't you think that your behavior will bring a bad atmosphere to the society?"
"Mr. Prince Long, I heard that in order to make up enough money for this bet, you not only applied for a quick mortgage from the bank, but also found a loan shark, is this true?"
"Dragon Prince ......"
After doing it for a long time, Prince Long realized that these people are all reporters.
And these reporters, the questions are more acute than the other, and there are many traps hidden in them, which makes it impossible for the Dragon Prince to answer at all.
"Lao Li, what's going on, why did the reporter run in?" asked Prince Long to a man standing in front of the reporter.
Lao Li smiled bitterly: "Brother Long, we haven't made any big news in the online novel industry for many years, you suddenly made such a whole yesterday, these reporters rushed over overnight last night, some from the capital, some from the south, at two or three o'clock in the morning, they said that they wanted to interview you, we were afraid that you would rest, so we helped you stop it, now it's morning, it's usually news at eight o'clock in the morning, they are also in a hurry, plus their backstage efforts, there are many people we can't afford to offend, so we can only let them come." ”
After listening to Lao Li's explanation, Prince Long couldn't say anything more.
It was to be expected that a reporter would come to cover the interview.
What is the biggest wish of these entertainment journalists, of course, is ratings.
First of all, whether it is Prince Long or the new writer Banyuanjun, they all have a huge fan base.
These fan bases represent huge ratings.
Secondly, this news involves the grievances of two major public figures, which means that there is excitement to watch, and it is the nature of Chinese people to love to watch excitement.
What's more, this grievance also involves a bet, and it is a huge bet, which is another huge highlight.
Therefore, if there were no entertainment reporters to interview such news, the world's news industry would not be so developed.
At the beginning, Prince Long was in a very unhappy mood, these reporters asked him such a question, obviously trying to trick him, and Prince Long even almost got angry.
But as a public figure, Prince Long understands the energy behind these reporters.
There is no one who dares to play the news without hard wrists.
If you don't have a little backstage, you don't dare to report on what others dare to report, you can't interview people who can interview you, and who still watches your news.
And Prince Long knows better what kind of image you want to be in the eyes of the public, not to say what you are showing is what you are, but to see how these reporters write and shoot.
After thinking about these truths, Prince Long forcibly suppressed the fire in his heart, turned his head to Lao Li, and said: "Lao Li! These reporters have been working hard to interview me in the middle of the night, how can you stop people?
After Lao Li heard this, he was speechless for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.
Afterwards, Prince Long turned to the reporters and said: "Don't worry, everyone, wait for me for two minutes, I'll wash my face, I wrote a novel too late last night, and I fell asleep directly on the table. ”
After listening to Prince Long's words, most of the anger in the hearts of the reporters who had been waiting all night was gone.
Reporters are also people, they worked hard to interview Prince Long, but they were left to dry for half the night, and it was strange that there was no fire in their hearts.
This is also the reason why, as soon as the Dragon Prince opened the door just now, they would take pictures and ask a lot of questions that were very sensitive to the Dragon Prince.
Now that Prince Long is acting very well, the questions that these reporters will ask will definitely not be as sharp as they were at the beginning.
Two minutes later, Prince Long, who had hurriedly washed his face and straightened his hair, walked out.
Because the time is very tight, it is about to be eight o'clock when all kinds of entertainment news will be broadcast, so everyone will cut straight to the point.
Sure enough, because of Prince Long's words at the beginning, these reporters didn't ask some questions that made Prince Long ugly.
For example, no one said anything about being slapped in the face by the boutique king activity at the party yesterday.
And just now there was time to wash his face to buffer, and Prince Long also clarified his thoughts, and was prepared for some of the questions that the reporter might mention.
Therefore, when answering reporters' questions, he showed humor and humor, and tried his best to show his best side in front of the public.
There are not many questions in the interview, after all, this bet, whether it is for Prince Long or Banyuanjun, may be a life-changing thing.
But for others, it's just a bit of a bustle.
After the interview, the script was sent back to the headquarters, and in less than ten minutes, it was sorted out and waiting to be broadcast later.
And Prince Long also invited these reporters to have a hearty breakfast as promised.
During the meal, the reporters also said that the untidy photo of Prince Long when he first opened the door had been deleted by them and would not be used this time.
......
8:10 a.m.
Banyuanjun's family had just finished breakfast and were sitting on the sofa to eat.
Liu Mei tuned the TV channel to Huaxia TV.
At this time, Liu Mei's favorite entertainment was played at eight o'clock in the morning.
Although this program is a news program, it is entertainment news.
Which two celebrities broke up today, who will be broadcast tomorrow will tear up again, and which big tiger will be broadcast the day after tomorrow.
Anyway, no matter when you watch it, there is a lot of excitement, so this show has a lot of fans.
When Liu Mei switched to this channel, it happened to broadcast the picture of interviewing Prince Long.
The reporter asked: "The market potential of the sky is estimated at 400 million, and you only use 50 million to gamble with half of the king, do you regard this bet as an investment?"
Prince Long smiled: "Four hundred million is estimated to be all its market potential, not that this book can earn me four hundred million." And I bet against Banyuanjun, not for money, but to fight for breath and teach him a lesson for those fans he deceived. ”
After hearing his name mentioned twice in this conversation, Banyuanjun's eyes widened.
Then like a child who was caught doing something wrong, he looked at Liu Mei with a weak heart.
And Liu Mei also opened her eyes wide, and then turned her head to look at Banyuanjun.
"Son, did you hear that?"
Banyuanjun cried with a sad face, stood up and said, "Mom, I was wrong!"
"What are you wrong?" asked Liu Mei with a wink.
"I shouldn't be gambling against people, and I bet tens of millions of dollars at a single gamble. "Half-edged monarch said.
After listening to Banyuanjun's words, Liu Mei threw over a pillow and scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy, you dare to fool your wife and me!"
Banyuanjun was dumbfounded, what's the situation? Why isn't my mother angry?
When she was confused, Liu Mei continued: "But to be honest, it's also quite annoying, since your father's poem was released by the Writers Association, I saw that many people on the Internet have changed their names to Banyuanjun, and I don't know if I can collect copyright fees from them!"
Banyuanjun: "Ha! What? Mom, this person who bets with him is your son and me!"
Liu Mei rolled his eyes and said: "You stinky boy, are you still pretending, if you can bet with tens of millions of billions of things, your tail will not be lifted to the sky! People are also called Banyuanjun, you are also called Banyuanjun, everyone is a multimillionaire, look at you! Hey, but you don't need to envy them, you are still young, work hard in the future, you may not be able to surpass others!"
Banyuanjun: "Well, yes, yes, my mother taught me the right lesson, I will definitely work hard in the future!"
Banyuanjun sat down in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Liu Mei misunderstood, thinking that the half-edged gentleman on TV was the person with the same name as him, otherwise, today would be miserable.
