Chapter 54: Death

was disgusted by others, Zhu Ziqing was quite unhappy, and came out of the opening sullenly. I just took a breath of fresh air, but I was stunned by the long spear and short cannon that appeared in front of me like lightning.

"Zhu Ziqing, I'm a reporter from Southern Weekly. Are you confident that you will pass the second round? ”

"Mr. Zhu, this is a reporter from Yangcheng Daily. Can you be interviewed by us? ”

"Do you have anything to say about Jin Linqi's accusation of plagiarism?"

"We are reporters for Jinling Daily. It is rumored on the Internet that "Heavenly Market" was made by you on the spot, and it has been praised by Master Sun Shouqing and Master Jia Qigong. Is it true? ”

“……”

More than a dozen reporters were not too panicked, and one by two desperately squeezed in front of him. The gossip made Zhu Ziqing's head a little dizzy. He would rather face Jin Linqi and stake his household registration book against the spray than face so many reporters.

Glancing away, he was not the only one interviewed. But there are undoubtedly the most journalists in front of him. You don't go to interview those celebrities, what are you doing around me as a little newcomer with an unknown reputation, Zhu Ziqing secretly complained.

In fact, he was arrogant. Although he has only stepped into the literary world for less than half a year, he is the most dazzling new star in the second half of the year.

The use of fairy tales has created a miracle in the sales of "Children's Literature", changed people's perception of fairy tales, and improved the literary status of fairy tales.

The novel "Little Beanie by the Window" is also not famous. Six days after its release, it has been the No. 1 bestseller for five consecutive days, with sales exceeding 400,000 copies. Moreover, this novel's reflection on education has caused a sensation in the education community, and many famous educators have praised it by name. It is foreseeable that it will stay on the best-selling list for a long time.

He seemed to feel that this was not enough, and participated in the essay contest of speaking and interpreting words. What's even more unexpected is that he not only passed the preliminary round, but also became the first author in the three years to list his name in the preliminary round.

His entry "Yangguan Xue" has also been unanimously recognized by the literary world in terms of expression, expanding the width of prose. This is nothing short of a masterful accolade. And he is only more than 17 years old and less than 18 years old, and he also broke the record in terms of age, becoming the youngest selected participant.

And just the day before yesterday, it broke out on the Internet again that he composed poems on the spot and was highly praised by the two masters.

In addition to these flashes, he is also a troubled and topical author. He has been questioned since the day he debuted. Now he has been named and questioned for plagiarism.

A person like him, who is full of news points, is naturally a favorite of the media. It's just that he dodged early when he saw the opportunity, so that the reporter who interviewed him pounced.

So far, I have only been interviewed by the 'Dajiang Daily'. And that interview was before the announcement of the competition list, and it has long expired.

I couldn't grasp his whereabouts before, and I couldn't stop him. Today is the date of the second round of the competition, and Zhu Ziqing will definitely appear. So many reporters have received death orders that they must get Zhu Ziqing's interview script. This is also the reason why there are so many reporters around him as soon as he goes out. These reporters are waiting for him.

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet." Zhu Ziqing was really so noisy that he couldn't stand it, and said loudly.

The reporters stopped for a long time. They can't do anything about it, and as a journalist, you have to know when to ask questions and when to listen to the interviewees. If you just ask questions and don't give each other a chance to answer, then what's the point of interviewing?

"Don't block the door, how about we go to the open space next to it?" Seeing that everyone was unmoved, Zhu Ziqing said helplessly: "The door is such a big place, you are all blocked here, how can other people get in and out?" You are journalists, and no one dares to offend you. I'm just a small author, and I don't have any good fruit to eat when I provoke public anger. You don't mean to trick me, do you? ”

"Haha......" Zhu Ziqing said interestingly, everyone burst into laughter, and then moved to the open space next to them one by two.

Zhu Ziqing did not take advantage of this gap to escape. If you don't give an interview, it's low-key, and no one can say anything. But agreeing to be interviewed but slipping away halfway, that is, breaking one's promise is a matter of character.

As soon as he moved to the open space and moved out of the way, he saw a crowd of people rushing out. Zhu Ziqing said in the dark that it was dangerous. A little later, he didn't dare to think about what the consequences were.

"Okay, listen to me, everybody. I am very honored that so many media, all of which are among the largest media in China, have come to interview me. Zhu Ziqing first slapped a sycophant without a head, and then changed the conversation:

"I also want to answer all your questions and make everyone happy. But everyone knows that this is impossible. So I propose that each media outlet should only ask one question. ”

Reach out to stop someone who wants to raise objections: "Don't bargain. I just counted that there were thirteen media outlets present, and that was thirteen questions. That's quite a lot. That's enough for you to write several manuscripts. Instead of bargaining with me, you might as well have a good discussion on how to use these thirteen questions. ”

Seeing Zhu Ziqing's resolute attitude, the reporters did not dwell too much on this issue. We started talking to each other. At this time, the swiftness of the news media was reflected, and it only took a few minutes for everyone to discuss a rough plan.

"I'm a reporter from Southern Weekly, may I ask Mr. Zhu, have you been to Yangguan?" What is the reason for creating the article "Yangguan Snow"? The middle-aged man with thin-rimmed glasses on the far left was the first to ask.

Zhu Zi was prepared for this question early in the morning, not to deal with Jin Linqi's questioning. Before carrying this article, I thought about how he would answer someone who asked such a question.

"Are you bullying me, these are two questions, okay. But for the sake of their coherence, I'll just take it as a problem. Before answering the question, Zhu Ziqing made a little joke.

After what happened just now, he found that the reporter was not as terrifying as he imagined. Without fear, he coped more and more easily.

"I have never been to Yangguan, and the inspiration for this article came from Wang Wei's "Sending Yuan Er Envoy Anxi", and my initial understanding of Yangguan also came from this poem. Then I began to wonder what Yangguan was like now. Zhu Ziqing began to open his eyes and said nonsense:

"Everyone knows that I was still a middle school student, and I couldn't afford to go that far, so I had to turn to the Internet for help. Then I knew what Yangguan looks like now. To be honest, a big disappointment. Feeling lost, I began to wonder what happened in Yangguan from Wang Wei's Guancheng to today's desolate village. By chance, I linked this change to the evolution of Chinese culture, and I came up with the article "Yangguan Xue". ”

This answer can only be said to be decent, and it is not very satisfying. But because of the rules that had been agreed in advance, the Southern Weekly reporter did not chase after him, and took a step back to return to the crowd. And a reporter next to him took the initiative to step forward and said:

"I'm a reporter from Mingguang Daily, are you sure you can pass the second round of exams? Or are you sure to repeat the miracle of the preliminary round? ”

Finally asked a sensitive question, and the group of reporters was quiet. Zhu Ziqing didn't seem to be aware of it, and still replied with a smile:

"Of course I think I'm going to pass, but I don't know if the jury will think the same way. As for miracles. All I can say is that miracles are called miracles because they are uncommon. ”

It's not that he's modest, it's really that's what he thinks. He has seen the classics of the competition, and they are no worse than he remembers. Therefore, even if it is a famous story from a previous life, there is no guarantee that it will definitely win the first place. But he is still fully sure of passing this round of assessment.

The two questions in a row were avoided by Zhu Ziqing, and the reporters finally knew that the young man in front of them was not easy to deal with at all. All cheered up and carefully set up trap questions.

"I'm a reporter from Jinling Daily, and it's rumored on the Internet that the day before yesterday you wrote poems on the spot in Qibao Old Street, is it true? You leave with the two masters......"

………………………………………………………………………

The media will naturally not turn a blind eye to such a nationally eyed competition as the Essay Contest, and have sent reporters to the competition site for interviews. More than 40 media gathered at the visual inspection site.

More than 40 media outlets seem like a lot, but it is still not enough to spread it over a hundred contestants. In addition, reporters are all "snobs" and specialize in interviewing well-known people. As a result, many unknown contestants went unnoticed. Others were crowded with reporters in their vicinity.

Zhu Ziqing's side is undoubtedly the most conspicuous. The first thing everyone who comes out of the gate is them. Regarding the treatment of Zhu Ziqing, many people showed envy. But when I think of other people's achievements, everyone takes it for granted. But not everyone thinks so.

When Jin Linqi walked out of the gate, he saw a large circle of reporters around Zhu Ziqing. Looking at the empty self. The face is even more gloomy, and a layer of frost can be removed.

"Mr. Jin, I'm a reporter from Linjiang Evening News, can I interview you?" At this time, a young female reporter with a round face, slightly chubby and a peaked cap came over and said.

Jin Linqi glanced at the female reporter who was holding a pen in one hand and a notepad in the other. looked at the large group of reporters around Zhu Ziqing with professional equipment such as recording equipment, cameras, and loudspeakers, and felt even more unhappy.

"Not available." Jin Linqi bluntly refused, and waved his hand as if venting.

This wave is not tight, but it has caused ** annoyance. In order to facilitate communication, the female reporter was a little closer to Jin Linqi. With this wave of his hand, he hit the female reporter's chest.

"Ahh How could a female journalist think of this. The sensitive part is attacked, and out of female instinct, it screams and retreats. But in her panic, she forgot that she was standing on the steps. This retreat was a kick in the air, and the whole person fell to the ground.
