In the face of the sweet bait thrown by Reporter Yang, Reporter Jiang and Reporter Lu glanced at each other with a clear heart, and then remained silent, expressing their agreement with the question raised by Reporter Yang. In the past two or three years, the sales of these paper media will fall off a cliff, but now although the sales of paper newspapers and periodicals are reasonable, only media workers with more sensitive senses are vaguely aware of the impasse. In particular, private newspapers like Xinyang Metropolis Daily, which has no government background, have gradually fallen into the bottleneck of development. Therefore, among the three reporters present, reporter Lu of "Xinyang Metropolis Daily" was the most anxious, and he was also the first to send a request for an interview with Ning Zhichu.

And reporter Jiang of "Yuanjiang Daily" and reporter Yang of "Xinyang Morning News" probably think the same as reporter Lu. Although Yuanjiang Daily is backed by the Yuanjiang district government and Xinyang Morning Post is backed by the Xinning district government, the declining financial allocations and thin advertising and subscription revenues are far from supporting the operation of a newspaper. Therefore, as a faction that is not in power, Reporter Jiang and Reporter Yang did not hesitate to come over after being invited by Boss Dong of Shiai Books. On the one hand, it is to increase the exchange of feelings and human feelings, and on the other hand, they also want to leave a way back for themselves.

Dong Jiacheng, who knew this, had informed Ning Zhichu of these circumstances a few steps earlier, and asked Ning Zhichu to consider whether to accept an interview. After Dong Jiacheng's explanation of the situation, Ning Zhichu thought about it all night and decided to agree. However, he thought about it for a long time and also had his own requirements.

After Ning Zhichu heard the words of the beautiful reporter, he smiled and said: "I still have a lot of trust in the professional ethics of Reporter Yang, Reporter Lu, and Reporter Jiang, but you also know that I am still in the second year of junior high school, so if you can, when it is published in the newspaper, help me hide my current age and school information, I still want to study seriously and don't want to be affected." ”

Reporter Yang of "Xinyang Morning News" said: "This is nature, and we will protect your children." If Brother Jiang and Brother Lu don't mind, start with me first? The latter sentence was said by reporter Yang to the two peers next to him.

Reporter Jiang and Reporter Lu nodded, so Reporter Yang began to ask: "Hello, classmate Ning, I am a reporter from Xinyang Morning News, just now, I cursolutly looked at some of the previous plots of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", I want to ask, what made Ning, write such a wonderful storyline?" ”

Ning Zhichu lowered his head and thought for a while, he couldn't say that he was a "scribe" at this time, and no one would believe him when he said it, so Ning Zhichu prepared words for a while and replied: "I have liked reading since I was a child, and when I was in the fifth grade of primary school, I once read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" again. When I read it at that time, I still remember that if there were traditional Chinese characters or sentences that I didn't understand, I would take out the "Xinhua Dictionary" and look up the definition. In this process, let me appreciate the wonderful history of the Three Kingdoms dispute in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and let me feel that Mr. Luo Guanzhong was able to use beautiful words to string together one historical allusion after another, and the storyline was so moving and amazing, and it was at this time that I had the urge to write a story, and it was not until the first semester of the second year of junior high school that I had the outline of the story, and then during the Spring Festival, I began to think about how to write to attract readers. ”

After seeing Ning Zhichu answer the first question, reporter Lu of "Xinyang Metropolis Daily" didn't give Ning Zhichu any time to breathe, and immediately asked: "Then may I ask Ning, how did you come up with the idea of writing a story about tomb robbery and treasure hunting?" I remember that there is a law in our country, 'Tomb robbers will be sentenced to ten years, fined 500,000 yuan, and included in the integrity blacklist for life'. ”

Ning Zhichu replied: "Actually, although my book is about tomb robbery and treasure hunting, it focuses more on treasure hunting, and even to be honest, I prefer to call "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" a new form of suspense adventure story, rather than tomb robbery and treasure hunting. The reason is very simple, just now reporter Lu you also mentioned that law, I also took it into account when I wrote the book, so if I am telling the storyline, if you read carefully, you can find that I am biased towards suspense adventure treasure hunting. Of course, the reason why I wanted to write such a book in the first place was also because of the overall environment of Xinyang City. As we all know, our Xinyang City has a long history, but it used to belong to the land of the Southern Barbarians, and the legend of Zhiwei was very popular, coupled with the influence of our famous Shoushan legend, which made me decide to write the book "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". ”

"That's very good, classmate Ning," reporter Jiang of "Yuanjiang Daily" was not willing to be unwilling, and before Ning Zhichu's voice to answer the second question fell, he immediately continued to ask, "Just now Boss Dong took a sample book for a few of us to read it, I probably roughly measured it, the words in the book should be two or three hundred thousand words, I heard Boss Dong say that these two hundred thousand words were all written by Ning in a week, is this true?" If it is true, then what is the knack of classmate Ning to write so many words in such a short period of time. ”

For this question, Ning Zhichu already had a draft, so as soon as Reporter Jiang's question came out, Ning Zhichu said aloud without thinking: "This is actually not as complicated as Reporter Jiang thought, I also said before, I have this urge to write a book after reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and then before the Spring Festival not long ago, the outline of this story was determined, so when it came to the real pen, my thoughts were very smooth, and I would not be troubled by the connection of the plot at all." ”

To be honest, Ning Zhichu would not sue others, this is according to the general storyline in his memory, plus his own writing skills, he wrote it down. Of course, because of the addition and deletion of story links and the difference in writing power, Ning Zhichu's version of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is very different from what Uncle Sang wrote in the previous life.

"Wow, that's really powerful," reporter Yang said, "Presumably Ning is very confident in his work, can Ning tell me how much "Ghost Blows the Lantern" can sell in your expectation?" ”

Ning Zhichu replied like this: "I believe that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is good enough, and it is enough to attract readers to come and buy it. As for the expected sales, I think Boss Dong of Shiai Books will know better than me, otherwise, Boss Dong would not have the insight to buy the copyright. ”

"Haha, you cunning little fox, okay, Ms. Yang, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Lu, our time is almost up, let's stop the interview first, let's let Ning go out to sign "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" first, after all, we can't make readers wait for a long time." Dong Jiacheng smiled and helped Ning Zhichu expose Reporter Yang's question, and then asked the three reporters to pause the interview first, after all, it was only seven or eight minutes before 10 o'clock.

The three reporters were all clear-eyed people, and as soon as they saw that the host had vaguely issued an eviction order, they stopped the interview with great interest. However, from the few questions just now, they also got the news they should get, and they just went to the bookstore to take a few photos of the scene later, and then they could write a short message, after all, this kind of news is just small news, and it will not occupy a large space, nor will it be very high.

Seeing this, Ning Zhichu knew that he should go out to fulfill the terms of the contract.
