Chapter Twenty-Seven: Interviews, Small Goals
"What? TV interviews? Refuse? No, promise them! Time? Anytime! Place? The Peninsula Hotel Bar! Good, good, that's all! ”
Cao De hung up the phone.
Just now, Chen Lang called him and said that because the novel became popular throughout Xiangjiang during this period of time, the TV station wanted to give him a special interview.
To this!
Cao De didn't want to agree at first.
Because this is the Hong Kong comprehensive world, there are many villains, and now that he is not full of wings, it is not a good thing to be famous, and it is easy to be targeted!
But then he thought of the fried chicken fairy!
At the current pace, five new stores will open by the end of the month.
And the opening of the new store is naturally to be promoted!
However, publicity requires publicity fees.
But he didn't have any money left.
If you want to spread the word, the most you can do is distribute flyers nearby.
But the strength of just handing out leaflets is not enough!
Now, with this interview, he can take this opportunity to promote the fried chicken fairy.
So, in the end, he agreed.
---
The Peninsula!
The Peninsula Hotel is the oldest surviving hotel in Hong Kong and one of the most luxurious and famous hotels in Hong Kong and the world.
Many celebrities, celebrities, and rich people like to come here to drink tea and talk about business.
"How many gentlemen?"
As soon as Cao De arrived, a waiter warmly entertained him.
"Three, but now it's just me, the other two have to wait!" Cao De briefly explained the situation.
In addition to him, there will be two people from the TV station.
One is the reporter in charge of the interview, and the other is the videographer in charge of the photography.
"Yes sir, please follow me!"
The waiter listened, and immediately took Cao De into the restaurant and chose a four-seater by the window.
"Give me a pot of black tea first, and then order the rest when you arrive!" After Cao De sat down, he gave an order to the waiter.
"Yes, sir!" The waiter said yes and retreated.
Soon!
A waiter served Cao De a pot of black tea.
And after Cao De poured himself a glass, he waited while talking.
Soon!
A young man with eyes, slightly fat, looking at the camera, and a beautiful woman who looked very familiar to Cao De came into his sight.
"Another "acquaintance"! After Cao De looked at the other party, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
He has a master of memory, and he recognized each other in an instant.
It is the reporter in the rat guts, Le Huizhen!
And the other side!
After Le Huizhen walked in with the cameraman, she glanced around the audience, but she showed a confused face, and murmured, "Could it be... Haven't come yet? ”
After she glanced around just now, she didn't find anyone!
However, it was not that she didn't see Cao De, but she saw it, but because Cao De was too young, she subconsciously omitted it.
Then!
The cameraman on the side suddenly pointed to Cao De's location and said, "Could it be that?" ”
"It can't be... It's so young! Le Huizhen said with a frown.
"But didn't the newspaper say that the other party was eighteen? Isn't it normal to be young? The cameraman asked rhetorically.
As soon as these words came out, Le Huizhen was stunned on the spot.
Oh, yes!
The newspaper said that the other party was only eighteen!
It's normal to be young!
Hearing this, is it really possible that the other party is?!
Thinking of this, Le Huizhen came to Cao De's side and asked tentatively, "Are you the Mr. Cao who wrote "Fighting Horses"?" ”
"That's right!"
Cao De smiled slightly, made a gesture of please, and said, "Please sit down!" ”
"Whew~"
Le Huizhen was relieved when she heard that she didn't recognize the wrong person.
At Cao De's invitation, both of them also sat down.
"What do you two drink?" Cao De asked.
"Coffee!"
"Coffee!"
The two said in unison.
Seeing this, Cao De directly asked the waiter to serve a cup of coffee to both of them, and ordered a few snacks casually.
And after the snacks and coffee were served, Le Huizhen said, "Mr. Cao, let's start!" ”
"Okay!" Cao De nodded.
After that, Le Huizhen asked the cameraman to turn on the camera and point it at Cao De, and then started the interview, saying, "Mr. Cao, the newspaper says that you are eighteen years old this year, is it true?" ”
"That's right, I'm eighteen years old!"
"It is said that you are from the mainland, is it true?"
"Of course, I came here in July, and with the help of my uncle, I got my ID card!"
...
At the beginning, Le Huizhen simply asked a few well-known questions.
But soon!
As the interview deepened, Le Huizhen began to ask other questions, saying, "As we all know, you have only been in Xiangjiang for a few months, and now you have become a well-known writer, how do you think you did it?" ”
"Set a small goal first, and move towards it firmly, and you can achieve it in the end!" Cao De smiled slightly.
"So, your goal in the first place was to become a writer?" Le Huizhen continued to ask.
"No!"
Cao De shook his head and said, "My small goal is to earn him a million first!" ”
The words just fell!
Le Huizhen was stunned!
Million?
Still a small goal?
Did you know that you will be beaten up if you go out like this!?
Listening to Cao De's words, she couldn't help but roar in her heart.
One million is a lot in this era.
Its purchasing power is not inferior to the future of 10 million.
Cao De's words are undoubtedly pretending to be X in Le Huizhen's eyes.
But!
Le Huizhen thought about it carefully, and after calculating Cao De's manuscript fee and the number of words he updated during this time, she was dumbfounded.
Because she discovered...
According to the manuscript fee of 1,000 words and 1,000 yuan, Cao De seems to... Should... What a small goal!
For a while, she didn't know what to say.
Let's talk about Cao De's outfit...
But people really accomplished the so-called small goals.
Say Cao De doesn't pretend...
But that's really too pretending!
That is, Cao De didn't know what Le Huizhen thought, otherwise he would definitely laugh at the other party's ignorance.
What kind of pretence is this?
is really pretended, and the starting hand is 100 million! ,
His million is already very restrained!
Ultimately!
"Hiss~"
Le Huizhen took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions before daring to continue asking, "Then Mr. Cao, when did you complete the so-called small goal?" ”
"When..."
Cao De said, sighed and said, "Alas~ I'm ashamed to say it, I barely completed this small goal at the end of the second month after I came to Xiangjiang!" ”
Well, at the end of August, Chen Lang gave him a manuscript fee of one million!
"Hiss~"
Hearing this, Le Huizhen couldn't help but gasp.
Two months!
It's only two months!
It only took two months to earn a million that ordinary people may not be able to earn in their lifetime, which is still a human being!?
Le Huizhen roared wildly in her heart.
You know, she hasn't even earned a tenth of this money since she worked!
Suddenly, there was something wrong with her eyes when she looked at Cao De, as if she was looking at a monster.
But!
After all, he is a professional journalist and has professional qualities.
Therefore, Le Huizhen quickly calmed down and changed the topic, "As we all know, writers need inspiration, I don't know how Mr. Cao usually finds inspiration?" ”
She didn't dare to ask any more about the topic she had just asked.
After all, Cao De's answer was too bad.
One million is called a small goal, and it only took two months for this product to complete the goal, which is not only envious and jealous.
It's still hateful!
If she asks again, I'm afraid that when the time comes, the TV station will be smashed.
"Oh, when it comes to inspiration, I'm different from other writers!"
After a gleam flashed in Cao De's eyes, he said, "Other writers like to look at the scenery or find a quiet place to stay in order to find inspiration, but I like to eat!" ”
"Eat!?" Le Huizhen said curiously.
"Yes!"
After Cao De nodded, he said seriously, "Eating delicious food is a kind of enjoyment, and in the process of enjoyment, my inspiration will also spring up like spring water!" ”
"Speaking of which, I have to mention the restaurant I usually eat, a Western-style fast food restaurant called Fried Chicken Immortals!"
"Although it is fast food, his fried chicken is particularly delicious, not only crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, but also juicy, and the feeling of juice overflowing the whole mouth after one bite is irresistible!"
"It's a pleasure to be able to eat!"
"It's a pity that his family only has one shop near the Kowloon Police Station, because the business is so hot that even I often can't buy it!"
"But fortunately, I heard that their family will open five more police stations near Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, Causeway Bay and other places on the 25th of this month.
Le Huizhen listened, revealing a strange face.
How to say it...
Does this answer sound weird?
It's not like you're really answering, it's like you're answering... Advertise!?
But!
Le Huizhen didn't think much about it, she just thought that Cao De liked this restaurant too much, so she said so
After that, she asked a few more questions about the characters in the book, the plot, and so on, and then withdrew with the cameraman!
"Le Huizhen... Interesting! ”
Cao De looked at their departing backs, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he muttered with interest.
