"Hello, Mr. Spencer, I'm a reporter for The New York Times, Joy Hathaway. An ordinary-looking blonde girl in her twenties walked into Severn's room and introduced herself.

"Hello, Miss Joey, please be seated. Severn smiled and pointed to the couch in the room.

"What do you need to drink?"

Paris is very attentive to Severn, although it is not the presidential suite arranged, but the room where Severn lives is also the best room in the Hilton Hotel, so the basic necessities of life are still available.

Joy Hathaway was a man of great attention to detail, and when she saw a cup of mocha on the coffee table, her eyes lit up, and then she said to Severn:

"A glass of mocha, thank you. ”

She wanted to gain some favor from Severn so that she could wait for the interview.

Sure enough, Severn couldn't help but smile a little more when he heard Joey Hathaway ask for a cup of Mocha, after all, people always like to be like-minded with them.

After Severn brewed the coffee and served it to Joey Hathaway, he sat opposite Hathaway and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to start standing alone at such a young age, I thought it was an aunt or uncle who came to interview me today." ”

"Flutter~"

Hearing this, Hathaway couldn't help but smile, and her eyes wandered: "Mr. Spencer, you are really humorous. But I can't compare to you, you look at you at the age of eighteen, and you are already famous all over the world. ”

"Hehe, I'm lucky. ”

"You're in luck. ”

Hathaway couldn't help but complain in her heart, a good family, handsome appearance, and excellent talent, I feel that everything that most people yearn for is all occupied by Severn.

Although she couldn't stop complaining about Severn in her heart, Hathaway didn't dare to show it, and still said to Severn with a polite smile: "It's not luck for you, as far as I know, there are few peers in the world who can compare with you." ”

Severn shook his head, in fact, Severn said that it was luck, and it was really not self-humility, after all, such a thing as rebirth can indeed only be explained by luck.

Does he want to say that this is God's arrangement?

But the point is that the Celestial Empire forbids ghosts and gods, and Severn has never seen a god in his previous life, and he is also an atheist in this life, so he can only attribute it to luck.

Hathaway saw that Severn didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer, so she began to sit upright and ask:

"Mr. Spencer, can we officially begin the interview?"

"Of course. ”

Severn wanted to say that he was always ready, but he felt a little frivolous, and it was better to be short and cold, and look mature and steady.

"Mr. Spencer, as far as I know, your first book, The Da Vinci Code, was published a few days after you turned eighteen, and I would like to ask, how did you write such a novel, such a mixture of detective, suspense, and thriller at such a young age?"

It's not just Hathaway who has this doubt, in fact, most people have this doubt, after all, Severn is only eighteen years old, and his experience and mind should not be up to the level of writing a book like "The Da Vinci Code".

But Severn never explained this, and in the end people can only attribute Severn to "genius".

Hearing this, Severn was not surprised, he already had a draft in his heart, so he replied: "Actually, I have already conceived the book "The Da Vinci Code" in my mind.

I have loved reading "Sherlock Holmes" since I was a child, so I also wanted to write such a detective novel, at first this book was just a rough idea in my mind, and then I traveled around Europe with my parents, listened to countless stories, increased my knowledge, and slowly became the current "Da Vinci Code". ”

"I see. ”

Hathaway showed a sudden look, she knew about Severn's family, and what Severn said could basically be established.

Hathaway didn't dwell too much on this question, and continued to ask, "You're a writer, but how do you want to record an album? And your new book doesn't seem to have been released yet, right?"

"It was actually an accident, I didn't want to record an album at first, but then I sang a song called "Dream It Possible" at the orientation party at the University of London, and then I was taken seriously by EMI's ace agent, Bob Smith.

He wanted to sign with me, but I refused. Later, he asked for my contact information through various channels and found me again, so I went to EMI to meet him, because I really wanted to sing some songs in my heart to the world, which was the "Faded" album.

However, I also know a little about entertainment companies, and I know that the remuneration of artists is not very high, so I don't want to sign a contract with EMI, so I have a VAM agreement with EMI. ”

Severn told the story as if he were telling a story.

After listening, Hathaway couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You are really bold, you dare to make such a big gambling agreement with EMI." ”

At that time, Severn was not very famous, and his songs were not released, in case the sales did not exceed 50 million, then Severn would have to compensate EMI Company 100 million.

But thinking about the Spencer family behind Severn, Hathaway can't help but have some understanding of Severn doing this, after all, Severn has such confidence.

In fact, Severn also regretted this incident at the beginning, and when he heard Hathaway's emotion, he laughed at himself: "I was too young at that time, if you let me sign a gambling agreement with EMI now, I would never dare." ”

"No, no, Mr. Spencer, don't say that, it's a good thing that you signed a gambling agreement with EMI that gives us all the privilege of knowing such a genius as you and hearing so many beautiful songs. ”

As a reporter, Joey Hathaway is even more beautiful, and the words of beauty and elevation in his mouth are not repeated.

Severn shook his head, clearly not taking it seriously. Seeing this, Hathaway continued to ask:

"Mr. Spencer, what do you think of those who slandered you in the first place?"

In fact, Severn explained this problem on the music talk show in the UK, but apparently Joey Hathaway, who is far away in the United States, does not know.

Severn was also patient and explained again.

"After all, this is their profession, and if they can support them by scolding me, I'm happy to do so, after all, I've helped another person, haven't I? And if I give them a little more presence in the world because of me, I'll be really happy about it. ”

In later generations, there were many people like this, who depended on a book or a person to support themselves, and relied on these books or people to gain fame and status in society, such as ....... (If you say you're going to be scolded, don't say it)

"You've got a big heart. Hathaway complimented.

"It's not a big heart, because I believe that everyone's eyes are bright, and naturally they will not be confused by some people's words. ”

The footsteps of the Internet are getting closer and closer, and soon it will enter the era of self-media, and Severn is naturally not afraid of people who have a heart to slander him, because he will be self-defeating at that time.

What's more, Severn himself is an Internet user, and after Facebook develops, he can also grasp public opinion and whitewash himself, so he is full of confidence in saying this.
