Chapter 80: The Interview I
"I'm willing for you, I'm willing for you, I'm willing to be banished to Skyrim for you......"
The next day, Xiao Ran had already heard a pleasant music early in the morning, which was the work he wrote for Tang Yun to participate in the Voice Online Semi-finals, and it was also the confession song he wrote to Tang Yun.
Because the meaning is heavy, it has become a common musical ringtone for the two.
Xiao Ran picked up the phone and heard a familiar voice: "Xiao Ran, congratulations on becoming the top 16 of The Voice, I have watched the knockout round of the intra-group duel, your table is too good!" โ
The caller is the editor-in-chief and boss of "Minbao" Jin Lan, who is also the media partner of Xiao Ran's martial arts novels, hearing his congratulations, Xiao Ran smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Jin Lan, you called early in the morning to congratulate me?" โ
Jin Lan said: "Of course, congratulations to you sincerely, but there are also some things I want to discuss with you." โ
"What's the matter?"
Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Jin Lan sighed deeply and said: "It's not because of "Dragon Babu", although this novel is indeed very interesting, as soon as it was released to replace "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", our daily sales exceeded 800,000, but a few days ago, a writer in the literary world wrote an article accusing us of "Dragon Babu" ghostwritten by others! โ
At this point, Xiao Ran knew where the point of doubt was when he heard Jin Lan's words, first of all, "Dragon Babu" is a novel with a clear historical background, and "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" is a fictional historical background, which is the first difference.
Secondly, in the two martial arts novels, the martial arts scenes of "Dragon Babu" are all one-trick battles, the original author is good at dismantling moves, and constantly uses various beautiful martial arts moves to fight, but "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" is even the most interesting decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City, and it is also written in a way of quick victory.
Although it is difficult to say which of the two fighting methods is more superb, it is obvious that "Dragon Babu" is more like a traditional martial arts novel, while "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" has a feeling of being on the edge of the sword, and it pays attention to defeating the enemy with one move!
That's the second big difference.
Secondly, the description of the characters, as well as the plot descriptions of the two books, as well as the writing, are completely different, and Xiao Ran has been busy participating in the voice competition recently, which makes people even more suspicious that he has no time to write a column for "Minbao"!
Therefore, once the theory of ghostwriting was proposed, although many people liked Xiao Ran, they had to admit that this statement was very logical and marketable.
Of course, everyone will not accuse Xiao Ran of being shameless, because Xiao Ran has never publicized it to the outside world since he wrote for "Minbao", if it weren't for the pickpocketing of media reporters, no one might be sure whether this columnist of martial arts novels is the Xiao Ran of the Voice Competition.
So everyone positioned Xiao Ran in an unknowing state, thinking that "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" was indeed written by Xiao Ran, but "Tianlong Babu" should be written by someone else found by "Minbao", and the purpose was naturally to seek huge profits in the name of Xiao Ran!
At this moment, because Xiao Ran's musical talent has been praised and recognized by the outside world, even the literary writers who have raised doubts have put Xiao Ran in the position of an unwitting victim, and even encouraged Xiao Ran to take up the weapon of the law and sue the shameless ghostwriter and the unscrupulous newspaper "Minbao" behind the scenes!
At this moment, Xiao Ran was on the phone while searching for this article from the computer, and after reading it, he couldn't help but want to laugh a little......
But hearing Jin Lan's somewhat anxious tone, he still held back a smile and asked seriously: "So after his article is published, does it have a substantial impact on the "Minbao"?" โ
The substantive impact that Xiao Ran refers to is naturally the sales problem of "Minbao", if it is just a reputation issue, it is not a big deal, after all, how many newspapers can maintain a good reputation forever? It's so hard!
Hearing this, Jin Lan said: "The impact is still not small, in the past three days alone, our daily sales have fallen from 800,000 to 30%, all readers are waiting to see how we explain, if there is no satisfactory answer, even if "Dragon Babu" is good, I am afraid that it will be boycotted." โ
Jin Lan's statement, Xiao Ran understands it very well, because there is such a tradition in Huaxia, paying attention to both talent and morality!
That is, people firmly believe that people with bad character cannot write good books, so if the character is questioned and cannot be clarified, the author and the media will face resistance from the masses!
Xiao Ran said on the other end of the phone: "Mr. Jin Lan is the editor-in-chief and boss of "Minbao", and now he has experience in how to deal with this kind of thing, right?" โ
"I already have a strategy for how to deal with it, but I need Xiao Ran's cooperation."
Xiao Ran had already thought of Jin Lan's request, so he said, "Just ask." โ
"I hope you come out to do an interview, by the way to clarify the question about ghostwriting, of course, the interview time may be about half an hour, so you may also ask some about your personal situation, as well as about the voice competition, the specific interview questions can be summarized the day before, so that you can determine what you can ask before you use ......"
Hearing Jin Lan's request, Xiao Ran's reply was very simple: "Okay, when will it be carried out?" โ
Because if he can be interviewed at this moment, it is actually a good thing for Xiao Ran, it can let the outside world know him better, and it can also make the outside world clear about his next life plan, so that he will not be criticized if he does a little thing.
Moreover, it can also allow Xiao Ran to better promote himself, although he is now famous enough, many stars may not be able to reach his achievements in their lifetime, and they can accumulate millions of fans, but for Xiao Ran, the road under his feet has actually just begun!
"The sales of the People's Daily are now declining every day, so I hope that the sooner the better, if it's convenient for you, can you do it in three days? Anyway, now the three David TV broadcasts of The Voice will definitely rush to interview you, as long as you open your mouth, the most popular hosts are willing to interview you! โ
"Then in three days, but I hope that the host of The Voice, Shao Hua, will visit Wรจn."
Hearing Xiao Ran's readily agreed, and just made a lot of excessive requests, Jin Lan also said very quickly: "Okay, Shao Hua is the host of Yanjing Satellite TV, and he himself hosts a talk show called "Shao Hua Has an Appointment", I will contact the leaders of Yanjing Satellite TV now to prepare the interview draft, and I can sort it out and send it to you later, and I will drive over to pick you up at that time." โ
"Then it's settled."
