Yang Wen walked into the door of Conference Room No. 1. After seeing the people inside, she suddenly seemed to have taken a reassurance and felt much more relaxed.
Shen Jian first saw Yang Wen at the door and said with a smile, "Yang Wen, you are here."
"Teacher Shen, you are here too." Yang Wen walked into the conference room with a smile and said to Zhang Zhong, "Hello, Teacher Zhang."
Program director Geng Peng introduced: "Teacher Zhang, Yang Wen is the host of this program."
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "I met Ms. Yang Wen once."
"Oh, really?" Geng Peng smiled, with a little curiosity in his eyes.
Shen Jian said, "When I was recording "The Scholar", Yang Wen and I went to dinner and happened to meet Zhang Zhong."
"So there is such a fate." Geng Peng nodded, "The interview will start in a while. Teacher Zhang, would you like to review a pair of manuscripts first?"
"No need, I've read all the questions beforehand, there's nothing wrong with it," Zhang Zhong said.
"Why is Teacher Shen free to come here today?" Yang Wen asked. She was not familiar with Zhang Zhong, but now that there was a familiar Shen Jian here, she would certainly not miss the opportunity to talk about him.
Shen Jian said with a smile, "I happened to be in Yanjing recently. I heard that Zhang Zhong was coming, so I took the initiative to contact him. I thought I would get to know you all well, so I came over so I wouldn't disturb you."
"How come, what are you talking about, Teacher Shen? Isn't our building just like home to you?" After complimenting Shen Jian, Yang Wen turned the topic to Zhang Zhong, "Did Teacher Zhang just arrive today? ?”
"Well, I just arrived in the morning." Zhang Zhong nodded.
"Thank you very much for coming to the "Interview" program this time. When I learned that the first guest was you, I was excited for a long time. I still remember the last time I met you, I invited you to When the show came, I didn’t expect that I would get what I wanted now.”
Zhang Zhong remembered this. At that time, Yang Wen invited him not to appear on "The Scholar", but on another TV program called "Art Journey" hosted by her. However, Zhang Zhong did not appear on that program in the end, but came to "The Scholar". Interview", but for Yang Wen, no matter which program it is, it is actually the same, she is just a host.
…
Several people chatted for a while, and the interview was about to officially begin.
After going to the studio, the interview did not go directly into the topic. A lot of preparation work was done. They also taught Zhang Zhong how to read the camera.
After everything was ready, Yang Wen made a simple opening and then welcomed Zhang Zhong.
After Zhang Zhong greeted the audience in front of the TV, Yang Wen asked her first question.
"It has only been more than three years since you published your first book, but we have just seen that you have received so many honors in these three years. What changes have you made psychologically in these three years? What?"
The question she asked sounded a bit abrupt. This is because when the program is officially broadcast, a short personal video of Zhang Zhong will be shown first, which introduces all the honors Zhang Zhong has received in the past few years.
On this basis, Yang Wen raised this question.
"There must have been some psychological changes. When I first won the award, I was actually a little resistant mentally. After all, winning means being noticed by the media."
"Do you mean to say that now the resistance is gone and you can face it calmly?"
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "There is no way. The matter has come to this, and we can only let them pay attention."
"Can you tell us about the opportunity that led you to write your first book? Your debut novel "Jieyou Grocery Store" won you the China Youth Literary Award. Under what circumstances was it accepted?
Created?"
Zhang Zhong thought for a while and said honestly, "Because my family was short of money at that time, I wanted to write a book to supplement the family income."
Yang Wen's eyes paused for a moment, but she quickly adjusted and said with a smile, "You are really funny. I think this book, in addition to bringing you considerable income, may also be of great benefit to you."
It has a great impact on life. As you said, you won the Youth Literature Award for this book, and it was also the first time you stood in front of the spotlight and met the public."
"You are right. Although my motives were impure at the beginning, it does not prevent "Jieyou Grocery Store" from being an excellent work. In any case, this book is the starting point of my writing career, and it does have a profound impact on me.
Extraordinary meaning. I usually go online when I have nothing to do. Because now I have a lot of works, so people have more topics to discuss. Some people like science fiction, and some people like suspense reasoning. I have not done statistics, so I don’t know.
What is my favorite book? But every time I see someone mention "The Worry-Free Grocery Store", I still look at it differently. It is excellent, but it may not be better than other works, but it has become a
Remember it."
Zhang Zhong's talkativeness made Yang Wen relieved. What the host fears most is that the interviewee does not say a word for a long time. In this case, even the most powerful host cannot guarantee the effectiveness of the program.
She smiled and said, "When it comes to memory points, I'm afraid "Murder on the Orient Express" should also be a memory point. I think all book friends who like Poirot will never forget the scene when he first appeared."
This question is actually relatively late, but because Zhang Zhong mentioned the memory point, Yang Wen took advantage of the situation and raised this question.
"Murder on the Orient Express" has become a memory point because it is the first work in which Detective Poirot appeared.
According to statistics, Poirot now has nearly 100 million fans around the world, and he has become the most famous detective in the world.
"Yes, I remember that many book friends told me that the character Poirot was too old, but now it seems that this old man has entered the hearts of many people."
"Yes, I think no one would say that Poirot is old now," Yang Wen said with a smile.
Zhang Zhong shook his head and said, "That's not true. In fact, some people are still not satisfied with Poirot. Some say he is old, while others say he has a bad temper."
"Would you be angry when you see someone say this? Because some people don't like your work, or they don't like the characters in the work." Yang Wen asked.
Zhang Zhong said, "No, writing a book is the same as being a human being. You cannot try to satisfy everyone. This is impossible. It is not a wise choice to get angry over impossible things. And there are so many readers.
Even if one out of 10,000 people is dissatisfied, there are still a lot of people, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to get angry even if I’m angry.”
