Chu Dahu went out to film, and Zhou Wenshan was busy with work in the studio, so only Zhou Ziwu and his mother were left in the house.
Zhou Ziwu sat on the sofa in the living room, opened Weibo, and first followed the boss, then went to Chang Xiuyu's Weibo, considered it, and left his own comment.
Optimistic Xiaowu: [First of all, thank you Mr. Chang for your affirmation! Secondly, you are really serious about your words. I am a half-hearted person, so I am very satisfied to receive your praise.
Peking Opera is the quintessence of the Chinese nation, and its inheritance depends on people like you. I only played a negligible role, and I really cannot deserve your gratitude.]
He did not ask for anything in return, but spoke up for a junior he had never met, so he did not dare to be arrogant and kept his posture very low.
After posting the comment, he waited for a while and found that the other party did not reply, so he went offline directly.
In his mailbox, Zhou Wenshan had already sent the questions to be asked during the interview.
Dad: [The newspaper office will call around one o’clock in the afternoon, so be ready.]
Zhou Ziwu: [Okay, got it dad.]
The one who invited him for an interview was Shanghai Metropolis Daily.
Even though the prefix is "Modu", it is not a regional newspaper of "Modu". Instead, it covers the entire southern Xia Kingdom. Its daily circulation ranks among the top five newspapers in the south.
This was also specially selected by Zhou Wenshan from the vast number of invitations.
Although the other party only asked for a phone call instead of a face-to-face interview, it seemed that he didn't attach much importance to us, but considering the other party's circulation, it would be good to receive it, so what else would he need for a bicycle?
After lunch, Zhou Ziwu locked himself in the bedroom and reviewed the questions he was going to ask a few times in advance.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the interview officially started.
"Deng Deng~"
The phone only rang once and was answered instantly.
"Hello Zhou Ziwu, I am Chen Cheng, a reporter from Shanghai Metropolis Daily."
The other party is a girl with a nice voice, she looks like a radio anchor.
"Hello, I am Zhou Ziwu."
Zhou Ziwu also replied politely, and the two parties exchanged brief greetings before getting down to business.
Chen Cheng asked first: "Let's first talk about "Lanting Preface" which has been very popular in the past two days. This song, together with "Rolling Bead Curtain", has opened up a new style of music in the Xiaguo music scene.
As for the naming of this genre, netizens are arguing endlessly. I would like to ask, as an author, which statement do you prefer?"
Zhou Ziwu said: "The names given by netizens are actually very appropriate. Personally, I prefer Xia Guofeng."
"Xia Guofeng?" The other party's tone was a little surprised, "Do you want to just call it Xia Guofeng?"
Zhou Ziwu said humbly: "Yes, this style of music is unique to our Xia Kingdom. Everyone says that the lyrics and music are good, but in fact it is not that I write well.
What touches everyone and moves everyone is the five thousand years of history behind us, which is printed in our textbooks and flowing in our blood. I just borrowed this east wind to recognize the traditional culture of the Xia Kingdom."
His answer shocked the other party.
This pattern is huge.
Chen Cheng asked again: "Teacher Zhou, is the source of inspiration for your song "Preface to the Lanting Collection" written by Wang Xizhi?"
Sensing the change in the other party's title, Zhou Ziwu curled his lips and said, "Yes, in fact, in our long history, there are still many excellent materials worth exploring.
I also hope that more outstanding colleagues can turn their attention to our own history when creating music and create music with the Xia people's own style."
Chen Cheng was shocked again.
This expectation for the future of the industry really sounds like a respected senior, but isn't he a young man who has just graduated?
I can only say that this pattern is too big.
Chen Cheng said: "Teacher Zhou, after finishing "Lanting Preface", let's talk about you personally. From your personal debut to the present, you have always been surrounded by many controversies. What do you think of these controversies?"
What do I think?
Just look with your eyes.
Zhou Ziwu smiled and said: "At the beginning, I did feel sad because of some bad comments, but now, I have figured it out.
After all, as Director Hong Cho, I have certified him as the number one singer in the world. He is so popular and has so many celebrities, so it is impossible to avoid controversy."
"Ha ha."
Chen Cheng laughed out loud. She also watched "The Strongest Sound" last night and knew what part he was talking about.
He is really fun.
"cough."
The editor-in-chief standing next to her coughed.
What are you doing?
This is working.
Chen Cheng stuck out his tongue, suppressed his smile, and then asked: "Teacher Zhou, in addition to "Lanting Preface", you also contributed many excellent songs, and they were all completed in a short period of time.
Many netizens have commented on you and said that you have no creative bottleneck. What do you think of this?"
Zhou Ziwu said: "As long as you are engaged in creative work, you will have creative bottlenecks. Of course I will also have it, so when I write songs, I write quickly."
Chen Cheng: "So, what you are saying is that if you write the song before the bottleneck arrives, there will be no bottleneck, right?"
Zhou Ziwu: "Yes."
Chen Cheng: "..."
A breath of Versailles came to my face.
This was the first time she heard that the way to solve the creative bottleneck was to write faster.
What kind of solution is this? You are indeed in Versailles!
…
Half past one in the afternoon.
The interview is over.
The editor-in-chief said to Chen Cheng: "Please sort out the interview and publish it in the newspaper the day after tomorrow."
Chen Cheng nodded and said: "Okay editor-in-chief."
The editor-in-chief handed over the tasks as usual and left directly, leaving Chen Cheng alone to work.
The only difference from the past is that this time Chen Cheng was quite happy inside.
In just half an hour's phone call, she came to appreciate Zhou Ziwu's humility and humor.
Originally, she was just a fan of the show "The Strongest Voice", but after the interview, she felt that she was going to become Zhou Ziwu's personal fan.
I can't help it, this man is too charming.
…
the other side.
After finishing the interview, Zhou Ziwu also unexpectedly received another piece of great news.
on Weibo.
Chang Xiuyu replied to him with only a short sentence: "You are too modest."
Just when everyone thought that the interaction between the two was over, Zhou Wenshan called.
"Hey, Dad."
Zhou Wenshan's voice was calm and filled with excitement, "Just now, Mr. Chang contacted me and expressed his appreciation for you. He also left a message saying that we can cooperate if there is an opportunity."
"Son, if you write another song like "Lanting Preface" in the future, we can try to contact her."
Zhou Ziwu's mind suddenly went blank.
Then react.
I have an idea of my final guest singer!
He said excitedly: "Dad, you don't have to wait until next week, it will be next week."
