Chapter 208: Inaugural Interview
"An interview with Oriental Entertainment Weekly?" Lin Zhimo asked rhetorically: "Why did they suddenly remember to interview me?" ”
Towards the end of the year, as the post-production of the film is gradually completed, Lin Zhimo has more and more free time. As a result, as soon as he arrived at the company that day, he was told by Han Qianyu that "Oriental Entertainment Weekly" wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with him.
Speaking of this "Oriental Entertainment Weekly" and Lin Zhimo, it is precisely by reporting the scandal between Lin Zhimo and Xu Huanhuan that he became famous, and then he resolutely revised the version, from a daily newspaper to a weekly newspaper, and it is unique in the entertainment industry to play the banner of "real news", known as the only media in the entertainment industry that does not report gossip news.
Not to mention, their revamp this time was really successful. Perhaps because there are too many scandals about the true and false in the entertainment industry, when the "Oriental Entertainment Weekly" never reported unsubstantiated news, it immediately attracted a large number of loyal readers, after all, no one wants to watch some fake reports being played like monkeys by those entertainment reporters.
"Well, it's said that the editor-in-chief of that newspaper came here in person this time." Han Qianyu also felt a little strange, after all, Lin Zhimo had not broken any news recently, and it could almost be said that he had disappeared. And this newspaper came to report on Lin Zhimo at this time, which was a bit unusual.
Lin Zhimo pondered for a while, anyway, he didn't have anything to do now, so he said, "Okay, where are they now?" ”
Half an hour later, Lin Zhimo met with the reporter and editor-in-chief of the "Oriental Entertainment Weekly" in a café.
"Are you...... Sun Yaohai? Lin Zhimo looked at the other party in surprise, and he couldn't imagine that this editor-in-chief was really the deputy editor who pretended to be a reporter to interview him. Lin Zhimo still remembers that he deduced that he would become the editor of the revised weekly newspaper in the future, but he didn't expect it to be true now.
Sun Yaohai saw Lin Zhimeng and said that he was also smiling: "I should call you Mr. Lin more appropriately now, hehe." ”
Lin Zhimo shook hands with the other party and said, "Editor Sun has changed a lot compared to last year." ”
Lin Zhimo remembered that Sun Yaohai was still a little submissive when he faced him last year, but now there is a capable aura all over his body, where is there still half a point of cowardice?
"Shibei should be impressed in three days, and in comparison, Mr. Lin's change is really big!" Sun Yaohai also sighed and said.
If Lin Zhimo was still just a star like last year, Sun Yaohai would not have come over in person, but now Lin Zhimo has his own entertainment company, no matter how big it is now, after all, it is on the right track. It can be said that it is no longer the same level as the profession of celebrities who rely on their faces to eat.
Lin Zhimo waved his hand: "Let's not praise each other." Come, sit, although I don't like coffee, but if the interview location is in a teahouse, it seems a little unclassy. I'll leave it at that. ”
Lin Zhimo's words made Sun Yaohai and his fellow reporters chuckle. made them have a good impression of Lin Zhimo's approachable character. Compared with those second-rate stars who are obviously not very famous but pretend to be bold, Lin Zhimo gives them a much better impression.
"Our newspaper plans to make a special issue of people, and select a star every month to be the cover character. Then the content in the special issue is all about the star's deeds and what his friends and fans say about him. After sitting down, Sun Yaohai first expressed his intention: "And Mr. Lin, you are the cover character of the inaugural issue of our special issue!" ”
"Oh?" Lin Zhimo raised his eyebrows and teased: "Editor Sun is roasting me on the stove, how can I be the cover character of the inaugural issue?" ”
Sun Yaohai disagreed: "Mr. Lin probably doesn't know that the readers of our weekly newspaper are mainly the social elite between the ages of 20 and 30. They have spending power and pay attention to the entertainment industry, but they don't like the fake gossip news, and prefer to see how a star slowly grows from a grassroots to a top star. ”
"Naturally, we can report on some of the big stars who have been famous for a long time, but I am afraid that for readers there is not much sense of identity, after all, their social experiences are different. And Mr. Lin, you are different, Mr. Lin, you have gone from being a 97-year-old entertainment company to the current CEO of an entertainment company, and it has only taken less than five years to complete the game, but the achievements you have made are something that some people can't get in a lifetime. ”
"And, in our twenties, we haven't found another successful artist like you. In our opinion, our readers are definitely more interested in you than the other celebrities. ”
Lin Zhimo listened to Sun Yaohai's methodical analysis of his advantages, nodded from time to time and acted intoxicated, and waited until Sun Yaohai finished saying this large paragraph for a while before he opened his slightly squinted eyes and asked in amazement, "Gone?" Why don't you go on? ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Sun Yaohai's face, and the photographer on the side was even more flushed and couldn't hold back a smile.
Lin Zhimo smiled and said: "Okay, Editor Sun, you don't need to say these words in front of me, and it will only appear sincere when you write them in the report." ”
Sun Yaohai had a black line on his head, and explained a little dryly: "What I said is true......" Seeing Lin Zhimo's obviously disbelieving expression, Sun Yaohai shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's hurry up today's interview." ”
At this time, the cameraman also turned on the camera, and another reporter took out his notes.
"Mr. Lin, we all know that you were a martial artist before you stepped into the entertainment industry, did you already have the heart to become an actor before you did martial arts?" Sun Yaohai did not have the consciousness of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper at all, and directly picked up the microphone and asked.
"Well, when I came out of my hometown, I was thinking about becoming an actor, but you know, it is difficult for a foreigner with no identity and no background to do group performances in Yanjing, and I also met my martial arts boss at that time, and he led me into the industry when he saw that I had a few kung fu."
In fact, Lin Zhimo had the determination to be an actor at the beginning, but he heard that being an actor could make a lot of money, so he just wanted to find a job as an actor to pay off his family's debts. If someone had told him to engage in pyramid schemes to make money, I'm afraid Lin Zhimo would have been squatting in prison by now. But these words can only be kept in one's stomach, and cannot be seen in the newspapers.
"Then how long have you been doing martial arts?"
……
As Sun Yaohai continued to ask questions, Lin Zhimo kept answering, and time passed slowly, and the interview lasted until noon. (To be continued......)
