Chapter 13 Interviews
The next day, in the morning.
"Shaohuai, brother has something to do to go to Ming Pao Company, the beginning of "Broken Void" you wrote yesterday was also handed over to me, and I will vote for the editorial department of "Martial Arts and History".
"Yes, thank you, brother."
"Thank you, just drop by and bring the manuscript to the editor. Whether it can be passed or not, the decision is not up to me! By the way, Shaohuai, the staff of the Hong Kong telephone company is going to install the phone, and you go to buy some cigarettes, alcohol, and candy to entertain the technician master. You can't leave people empty-handed! ”
"Remember, brother, go get busy!" Shaohuai nodded and said.
Zhang Shaojie is more relieved about his younger brother Shaohuai, because his parents died early. Therefore, the two brothers have experienced a lot more human feelings and sophistication than other people's children, so Shaohuai is very young, and his surname is more stable and mature.
When he went out, Zhang Shaojie remembered the Miss Cai who promised Ming Pao yesterday and gave her a gift. Zhang Shaojie is a very trustworthy person, he has promised others things, and he always remembers them very well!
So, with another HK$1,000 in cash, he went to a shopping mall that had just opened.
At this time, the shopping mall seemed very deserted.
There are only a few staff members who are cleaning up garbage and sorting goods, and there are basically no customers who come to the door.
Seeing Zhang Shaojie enter the door, the staff in the store felt that their eyes lit up.
"Sir, what help do you need?" A female clerk in her twenties asked.
"Thank you, I want to buy a gift for my girlfriend's friend. I only have HK$1,000 in cash, but I hope you can help me choose a gift that can make the other person feel that the price of this gift is not cheap for the first time. Zhang Shaojie said with a smile.
"Worth a lot? Within 1,000 yuan, let me see," the female clerk said.
Zhang Shaojie looked at her indifferently and busy.
"How about a LV handbag? This brand of handbag is not only an internationally renowned luxury item. And every year's Miss Hong Kong and other beauty pageants, LV is also a sponsor. Now basically most women with surnames know that this brand is a handbag is very expensive! "The waitress suggested.
"Okay! Can I buy it for less than HK$1,000? ”
"Sir, this handbag is 1188 Hong Kong dollars, pay in cash, you can get a 20% discount."
"Thank you, that's it!" Zhang Shaojie was very satisfied.
After making the payment, he flagged down a taxi and drove to Ming Pao's company.
Ming Pao Industrial Building.
Once born and twice cooked, today's trip, the front desk of the surname Mei entertained Cai Meiyun, and obviously treated Zhang Shaojie as his own person.
"Sister Cai, this is your gift" Zhang Shaojie smiled, took out the latest style of LV handbag, and gave it to her with a sincere face.
"Oops, I was just joking yesterday, how did you really buy a gift, or such an expensive luxury" Miss Cai looked a little unexpected.
At this time, the average monthly salary of Hong Kong people was only a few hundred yuan. The white-collar workers of Ming Pao Company are only one or two thousand yuan a month. However, the price of an imported LV bag is at least more than a thousand yuan, which is the salary of an ordinary citizen for a month or two.
saw Cai Meiyun's gaffe expression.
Zhang Shaojie was secretly proud, let her be arrogant, and she was just an ordinary working woman. When you see luxury gifts, you can't help but lose your usual composure.
In fact, this is just his little trick. Although on the surface, Zhang Shaojie is a generous person, but in fact, he is very accountable to any attitude towards himself compared to others.
When I saw Cai Meiyun for the first time, her lofty posture made Zhang Shaojie's psychological confrontation frustrated.
Now Zhang Shaojie wants to use material gifts to make this arrogant beauty lose his temper in this way. In this way, in the process of dealing with her in the future, Zhang Shaojie's momentum will have the upper hand.
"Sister Cai, this is a piece of my heart. Don't refuse, or I'll die of grief. Zhang Shaojie said.
"Death! Seeing that you are so sincere, my sister reluctantly accepts it. Cai Meiyun's face was full of excitement.
At the end of the exchange with Cai Meiyun, Zhang Shaojie was as refreshed as if he had won a battle!
Soon after, Zhang Shaojie came to the interview room arranged by the editorial department of "Martial Arts and History".
"The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was an instant hit, and "Martial Arts and History" magazine intended to further make Zhang Shaojie popular, so an exclusive interview was arranged.
Zhang Shaojie sat lazily on the sofa, opposite a serious and beautiful female reporter.
Although, he hasn't seen many beauties in most of his life, Zhang Shaojin couldn't help but look straight.
Of course, he still has the reserve of being a popular writer.
does not squint, under a serious appearance, covering his nervousness, shyness,
The female reporter looked at it and secretly laughed in her eyes, and said: "Mr. Zhang Shaojie, welcome to the interview with the editorial department of "Martial Arts and History". I'm Song Chuhe, a columnist for Martial Arts and History, and I'm glad to have you, a cutting-edge artist, to be interviewed by us. ”
Zhang Shaojie relaxed and said, "I'm also very happy to chat with beautiful women." But first, I don't want to take photos and I don't want my photos to be exposed to the media. Hopefully, after this interview, I won't be recognizable on the street. ”
"Okay, we're definitely not going to leak your photos."
"Now the interview can officially begin, right? You can ask casually, as long as it is not confidential**, most of them will meet your requirements. ”
The beautiful reporter Song Chuhe covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Okay." So, my first question is, Writer Zhang, have you ever had a girlfriend? If it is not convenient to answer, this article is cancelled"
Zhang Shaojie touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "Hehe, there's nothing inconvenient." I'm still a pure first boy, and I haven't even had my first kiss. If the beautiful reporter sympathizes, can you consider being my girlfriend? ”
Song Chuhe's face was flushed, but he was not angry, and said calmly after a moment: "Hehe, this kind of thing is still not a joke." Okay, now I want to ask a new question, Shaojie, when did you start trying to write for the first time? Is it because you have a talent for writing since childhood? ”
Zhang Shaojie shook his head and said, "No talent." When I was very young, I was stupid. When I was in elementary school, although my Chinese grades were okay, my math could only be average. When I was about 7 years old, I began to read miscellaneous books, such as the four famous novels "Water Margin", "Journey to the West", and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but I always couldn't read "Dream of Red Mansions". Later, when I was in middle school, I read a lot of martial arts novels by Jin Yong, Gu, Liang Yusheng, Sima Xiang and other famous artists. Because of the fast reading, you can read 100,000 words in an hour, and at the end of a semester, you can often read about 50 sets of novels. Perhaps, it is because I have read too many novels and accumulated abundant reading volume that is the main reason why I was able to write "The Tang Dynasty". ”
"Then when you were in middle school, did you ever write a martial arts novel?"
"Didn't write about it. "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was my first novel, and it took me several years to revise the setting at the beginning. Learn a lot about Chinese history, as well as traditional cultures such as Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. After two or three years of revision, the article has basically developed its own style from imitation to learning! ”
Song Chuhe was surprised, desperately recorded with a pen, and said, "Wow! It took two or three years to revise, and you also have to learn history, Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, etc., you are really attentive."
"Nothing, in ancient times. "Dream of Red Mansions" has been added and deleted dozens of times, and it has been reviewed and revised for more than ten years! However, in modern society, if there is a writer to learn from Cao Xueqin, unless he comes from a wealthy family and does not worry about financial resources, most of them will starve to death halfway! ”
The interview lasted for more than two hours, and the interview script recorded by reporter Song exceeded 10,000 words, and finally asked: "This interview, let's stop here." Finally, what would you like to say to the readers and authors of this magazine? ”
Zhang Shaojie thought for a moment and said: "Innovation is the foundation of any theme novel!" As long as there is innovation, the future of martial arts novels is still promising! China is rich in land and talents. As long as there is a readership market, and only a sufficient number of writers are still writing books, new classics will always appear! ”
Zhang Shaojie's radiant appearance made Song Reporter flashed with surprise in his eyes, and thought in his heart that this red-haired and purple cutting-edge dark horse, the road to success is really not a fluke!
――――――
ps: Well, it's slow, but it's very serious. Some of the drafts written at the beginning were basically scrapped and rewritten. In addition, it has not been long since I moved, and I have not yet adapted to the new environment. When you get used to it, you should be able to speed it up.
