Chapter 299: Character Interview
From his debut to the present, Li Chencan rarely accepts invitations for interviews from some magazines, and he has not even appeared on the show a few times.
But this time was different.
"The Legend of Wukong" is leading a huge trend, bringing a kind of shock to many people's thinking, at this time, Li Chencan is indeed suitable to stand up and say something, even if it is nonsense that does not have much meaning.
Headquartered in Lin'an, Jiangnan Province, Xuan Window is one of China's most influential fiction magazines, with micro-stories, short stories, and medium-length novels serialized, as well as writers' columns and interviews with writers.
In today's era of rapid development of the Internet and e-paper books, it takes too much effort to run traditional newspapers and magazines well.
This requires highlighting the features and strengths of traditional magazines and newspapers, as well as appealing to the audience's liking......
After all, these things are not so simple, now that online articles are rampant, and the scarf is so hot, magazines and newspapers can't be as fast as the Internet in terms of news, and they have to use characteristics to attract readers, which is very difficult.
Up to now, the average weekly magazine still has more than 3 million sales, which is actually quite good, and it is not at all comparable to ordinary magazines.
Being invited by such a magazine to conduct an exclusive interview, strictly speaking, this is actually a proof of Li Chencan's current strength.
can be interviewed by writers in "Xuan Window", which is generally only available to relatively well-known fiction writers. Li Chencan's previous "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is not a novel. Historical fiction can't be counted either, so "The Legend of Wukong" is his first work to write a novel. But just this one work sent him to the position of an interview.
The people of "Xuan Window" are particularly efficient, and it is estimated that they want to directly amplify Li Chencan's value to the highest before the craze of "The Legend of Wukong" begins to subside, and give Li Chencan an exclusive interview at this time, which will definitely help Li Chencan himself. After all, this is a magazine that has sold three million copies.
In addition, such an interview also gave Li Chencan some high-end and high-grade feeling. "Xuan Window" itself is a film with a strong literary youth, with a petty bourgeois mood...... Of course, there is no such thing as petty bourgeoisie in the Empire, but this is a magazine that feels that way anyway.
Such a magazine may not be liked by everyone. Just like a director who makes a literary film may not necessarily be well-known to the audience. Writers who write niche essays may not be able to get everyone to subscribe to the same ...... However, such a person will always give everyone a feeling of high-end atmosphere and grade.
So this is indeed a good opportunity, Li Chencan agreed without hesitation.
Hanging up the phone, Sun Yunzhang felt a little strange in his heart, because he didn't expect Li Chencan to agree to the request so happily......
This guy usually has a lot of interviews, and many programs have been pushed off by him, but today is quite refreshing.
The popularity of "The Legend of Wukong" made Sun Yunzhang feel Li Chencan's ability to create miracles again, and he always did this. Just when everyone else thought he had no way to turn the tables around, the reversal suddenly began...... And his reversals are often much stronger than one might think.
It's the same with "The Legend of Wukong" this time. This book is becoming the talk of many people now, and if you haven't read "The Legend of Wukong" recently, this is really OUT...... Of course, there is no such thing as OUT in the Empire......
At such a time, Sun Yunzhang felt that Li Chencan's interview with a magazine like "Xuan Window" was still very helpful, and he had thought about how he should persuade Li Chencan if he refused, but now it seems that although this guy is imaginative, he still has his own concept of many things.
He could also think through most of the stakes, but he didn't talk about it.
These are Li Chencan's characters.
The reporter of "Xuan Window" soon arrived...... It was two people, two women, the older one was wearing a long silk dress, her long hair was fluttering, and she felt like a goddess, but she was twenty-six or seventeen years old, which was the most brilliant age in a woman's life. The younger ones just graduated, wore black-rimmed glasses, and wore T-shirts and jeans.
"Hello, I am the editor-in-chief of the 'New Writers' column of "Xuan Window", An Ning." The long-haired beauty said a word, and stretched out her slender white and tender right hand at Li Chencan.
"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Ann." Li Chencan shook hands with her generously, and then he glanced at the younger one, which was a gesture for her to introduce herself.
She also reacted, and hurriedly stretched out her right hand and stretched it out in front of Li Chencan's eyes: "You...... Well, my name is Zeng Ke, and I'm the intern editor of Xuan Window magazine......"
"Hello." After Li Chencan shook hands with her, he said casually to An Ning: "It seems that I still have a lot of face, and I can invite people like Editor-in-Chief An to move." ”
"Really?" An Ning smiled, this smile felt a little charming, but not kitsch, it was really good-looking: "Who made you a great god?" Very few people can please you. ”
Li Chencan smiled and said, "What's so big about this...... There's no question of whether you can move or not, but sometimes you just don't have time, and sometimes you just happen to have other things. ”
"That's a coincidence."
"It's a coincidence." Li Chencan smiled.
"Okay, so let's start the interview now, shall we? Do you think that's okay? An Ning asked.
"Absolutely." Li Chencan asked Wang Bingning to bring coffee and a cup to Zeng Ke, Zeng Ke hurriedly thanked her, it could be seen that she was very unskilled in this matter, and she was a little in a hurry.
Li Chencan could see at a glance that the work match between the two must be An Ning who was responsible for interviewing him, and then Zeng Ke recorded it next to him......
"As we all know, your "Legend of Wukong" is very popular now, and it has attracted a craze throughout China, so can you tell us what do you think this book can make everyone like it so much? From your author's point of view? "The first question of tranquility is really close to the reader.
Many readers are also wondering, why is this book so popular?
Li Chencan pondered slightly, and then said: "First of all, I want to say that maybe, sometimes it is really necessary to inject some emotions into writing articles, when writing "The Legend of Wukong", I put a lot of my feelings into it, and sometimes, the people in it are also some of my own emotional projections, so real emotions may be easier to impress everyone." ”
Li Chencan's words had just come out, and An Ning also nodded, such an explanation is still good.
But she was still waiting to hear Li Chencan's second article.
"Secondly, this book, you may be able to find some characteristics of everyone in many places, after all, some things are hidden in the depths of the heart, but I haven't discovered them for the time being, and I may have written some such things on paper, so everyone's interest in this book may be not bad."
After Li Chencan said this, An Ning nodded frequently, and when Li Chencan spoke, she also kept looking at Li Chencan's eyes with beautiful eyes, showing a kind of politeness and self-cultivation.
"I think there must be a reason for this, I also carefully read the novel "The Legend of Wukong", and the thoughts that Zhilu Dao can feel in it are very shocking, I think this may be one of the reasons why everyone likes "The Legend of Wukong" the most! Because they are able to have a sense of empathy. An Ning paused, and then said again: "So, since you have also talked about emotional projection, can you tell us which character you are most like?" Or rather, which role are you putting yourself into? Is he as rebellious as Sun Wukong, or as deeply rooted as Zhu Bajie, or as paranoid as Sha Seng? ”
Li Chencan seemed to think for a moment and then said, "This point...... Seriously, this is my own book, so actually, there are a lot of characters in it, and I project something of my own on it. He threw out some fierce news: "Just like I have before, there was an incident that puzzled many people, and also made many people try to give me some advice, I said that I was going to take a leave of absence from studying for a while, and even at that time I said something that made everyone think that I was very unsafe, in fact, I think this itself is also a kind of rebellion of my own, and I don't want to go on like that." ”
"After that, many people will also criticize my frequent crossovers, for example, I started writing books, then I ran to do original music, and then I did some programs, and everyone should think that I am not down-to-earth. But I guess that's what I wanted...... In "The Legend of Wukong", what awaits Goku is a terrible ending, but I think that in that moment he realized himself. And sometimes I am the same as Tang Seng, I want something, and I want to work hard to do it...... Of course, I don't have as much ambition as he has...... As for the sand monk, I think I may sometimes be very focused on one thing, and maybe, even if I know that I am wrong, I may not be willing to correct it...... I was probably paranoid at that time......"
An Ning nodded and smiled: "What you said is very exciting, think about your life experience carefully, it is really full of an amazing legend, and besides, there may be many people who don't understand your crossover, but didn't you prove yourself with your results in the end?" That's what you're capable of! Merely...... You have said places like Tang Seng, Wukong, and Sha Seng...... So why don't you talk about the similarities between you and Zhu Bajie? I think a lot of people are interested in your "Broken Chapters". (To be continued......)
