Chapter 7 Interviews
The Foreign Media Department is on the fourteenth floor of the building.
As the flow of people entered the elevator, Zhang Yang had just walked in when a female voice said hello, "Zhang, it's you." ”
When I turned my head, it was Frida.
"So early today?"
"There's a meeting to attend." Frieda sighed, "It's said on TV that you can stay young by sleeping more, and if you wake up half an hour early today, you will definitely be aging for a week." ”
Zhang Yang smiled.
When the elevator stopped on the thirteenth floor, Frida walked down, and Zhang Yang wanted to follow before he remembered that he was going to the foreign media department.
When I entered the foreign media department, most of the people hadn't come yet, there were only two people in the whole office, and Zhang Yang didn't take the initiative to say hello, but just walked around the inside, familiarized himself with the environment a little, and then went to the editor-in-chief's office.
He waited a long time.
Spoh arrived an hour later.
He put down his briefcase, looked up at Zhang Yang, and asked, "How long have you been waiting?" ”
"It didn't take long."
Spoh suddenly became serious and said seriously, "Zhang, I know this is the modesty of the Chinese, but I don't like this." If you've only waited a short time, you're late for work. ”
Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, this guy changed his face fast enough, he could only smile bitterly, "Oh, sorry, get used to it." ”
Spoh nodded, led Zhang Yang to the office hall, and found a vacant seat in the back, with a computer on the table and a stack of papers next to it.
"This is your place in the future."
Zhang Yang walked over to look at the stack of papers, and Spoh shouted to both sides, "Whose thing is this?" ”
"Mine, mine. Sorry, just temporarily placed here. ”
A black guy in the back row hurriedly said.
He walked over and picked up the papers and returned to his seat, then walked back and asked, "Spoh, this is new?" ”
"Our new employee, he does something related to the Italian language." Spoh explained, introducing, "He's Zhang. After that, he pointed to the black guy and introduced Zhang Yang, "This is Andy, you will work together in the future." ”
"Hello."
After the two sides introduced each other, Spoh was about to leave, and Zhang Yang hurriedly asked, "What am I going to do today?" ”
"You don't need to work yet, it's only your first day here, the first thing you need to do is to familiarize yourself with the environment and get to know more colleagues, which will be very helpful to your work." ”
"Thank you."
Zhang Yang suddenly felt that the work treatment was different.
When I was downstairs yesterday, the editor-in-chief, Brand, was racist and gave him almost impossible work, and the other colleagues also alienated themselves and didn't talk to anyone for a day.
Now I don't have to do work, the first day is just to get familiar with the environment, and the treatment is really much better.
Zhang Yang stayed in the office for a while, walked around and greeted a few colleagues around him, and he was also introduced to each other, and he also had a certain understanding of the foreign media department.
This is the sports arm of the British BBC Television Television.
The Foreign Media Department can also be called the 'Sports Foreign Media Department', which is mainly responsible for the coverage of foreign sports news and the translation of important foreign sports news.
If you work here for a long time, you will have to deal with various languages constantly.
Zhang Yang suddenly thought that he was in charge of Italian-related work, and Italian was loaded by the language module.
Zhang Yang was looking forward to it.
He walked up behind Andy, saw the black guy worrying about a manuscript, and asked, "What's wrong, Andy?" ”
Andy dragged his chin with one hand, his expression was very distressed, and he didn't have much energy to speak, "This is a report from France, I have to do the news about Saint-Germain in advance, and I will go to Paris in the afternoon to do an interview." ”
"A piece of reporting material?"
"yes, it's going to be translated and reposted on the website."
"I'll see." Zhang Yang bent forward, propped up the table with his hands, and leaned closer to take a closer look.
"You know French too?"
"I don't know, I'll try."
Andy was stunned.
If language is not mathematics or physics, how can it be 'unclear and try'?
Zhang Yang didn't have time to pay attention to Andy, a voice had already appeared in his ears, "System detection needs an auxiliary module." ”
"Language module. ...... in system analysis"
"Requirements: language module, French module. Loading...... Please ...... later Language module, French module loaded! ”
With a roar in his brain, Zhang Yang's body almost threw himself on the table, but fortunately he reacted and stopped, Andy hurriedly dragged him and asked a little nervously, "What's wrong with you?" Sheet? ”
Zhang Yang stood up straight, shook his head, and then exhaled and said with a smile, "Sorry, I didn't stand firm just now." By the way, it's not that hard! ”
"Isn't it difficult?" Andy's expression was difficult.
"It's not hard." Zhang Yang pointed to a paragraph on the screen and explained, "That said, Saint-Germain have regular training, the players have shown good form, the whole team is very confident, Reinaldo said in an interview that they are confident of beating Chelsea at home to get all three points and fight for the hope of qualifying from the group." ”
Andy looked at it carefully, and the surprise in his heart was all written on his face.
Just now Spoh said that this new Asian kid is doing Italian-related work, and his Italian must be fine, but I didn't expect him to be able to translate French so well, he looked carefully at the meaning of that paragraph, and it was basically the same as what the other party said.
Andy looked at Zhang Yang and asked in a confirmed manner, "You also know French?" ”
"A little."
Zhang Yang said modestly with a smile.
Andy shook his head violently, "There must be more than that, it will take me time to translate this paragraph, my spoken French is not good, and I can only do some written work, if I go out to do interviews, I still have to prepare...... That's right! He suddenly remembered something, and immediately said to Zhang Yang, "Are you interested in going to Paris?" ”
"Paris? What to do in Paris? ”
"Interviews?"
"Interviews? I've never been to Paris, and I'm just ......"
"You'd definitely want to go, right!?" Andy smiled excitedly and said, "I'm going to Paris in the afternoon to do an interview, with Denise!" Go for it too! Denise's French is very poor, and it will definitely be a lot easier to have you in it. ”
Zhang Yang was confused, and Andy made a decision, "That's it." ”
"It's not...... I haven't ...... yet You wait! Zhang Yang hurriedly shouted, watching Andy walk towards the editor-in-chief's office.
"To Paris?"
Zhang Yang was still not mentally prepared.
Spoh walked out of the office, Andy kept talking next to him, Spoh patted Zhang Yang's shoulder, "Listen to Andy, you are good at French?" ”
"yes."
Zhang Yang replied weakly, and he didn't even bother to be modest.
"Andy suggested that you go to Paris with you, what is your opinion?" Spoh didn't make a decision directly, but asked, but he added, "Although you are an intern, you also get a normal business trip allowance from the company." ”
Zhang Yang suddenly came to his senses.
Whether or not to go on a business trip to Paris for work is not attractive to him at all, the biggest problem he faces is a shriveled wallet, and he has a normal standard of travel allowance, even if he goes to Africa, he will not refuse.
After Spoh left, Andy began to talk about the job.
They were going to cover the Champions League.
The second leg of the Chelsea vs. Paris Saint-Germain clash is about to begin, taking place at the Parc des Princes in Paris, where they will be tasked with Chelsea on their way to Paris and then cover the match site, during which they will be free to interview both teams.
Media interviews are still relatively free, especially for the competition, as long as the big news is not lost, other interviews can be conducted at will.
"What am I going to do?"
Zhang Yang doesn't know anything about the interview work, he is more concerned about his own work.
"You don't have to do anything, just follow me."
"Okay."
Andy's statement makes things simpler.
After eating in the company restaurant at noon, Shen Yang met the reporter - Denise Jordan.
Not surprisingly, it's a big beauty.
