I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 208 Interview
"Brush: Are you there?"

"Clumsy and uncommon: I'm writing, I'm writing."

"Clumsy and uncommon: I'm about to type, let's chat."

"Brush: It's not about new books...

Clumsy and uncommon: Oh, boss, you said it. "

I just finished writing the Chinese version of "Seven Sins" today, and after sending the manuscript to Carol,

Ji Zhuo collapsed on the sofa in the living room, his whole body sunk in the sofa, he didn't want to move.

Now seeing the message sent by pen and ink, I moved my fingers.

"pen and ink:……"

"Ben Mo: A media company has invited you to do an interview. Do you have time?"

There were actually quite a few media who wanted to interview Ji Zhuo before, but most of them were online media, which didn't matter much.

Contacted the website to ask for help to tell Ji Zhuo, but Ji Zhuo even asked the pen and ink to help him refuse.

"Clumsy and uncommon:..."

To be honest, Ji Zhuo didn't want to go.

He can be the kind of person who stays in one city for a long time and then stays in another city,

But usually he doesn't want to go out.

The most important thing is... the trumpet is played too much, and it becomes a habit.

Ji Zhuo doesn't want to show his face... Of course, it's really okay.

"Brush and ink: It's the official media. The People's Daily.

Clumsy and uncommon: official media?People's Daily?interview me? "

Seeing the message sent by pen and ink again,

Ji Zhuo was a jerk, he barely sat up from the sofa,

His first reaction was that his trumpet was exposed.

His trumpet "ABC" won the British Booker Award, which is a major award, which is indeed worth interviewing.

But the pen and ink will come back to the news immediately,

"Benmo: Yes. Boss, your current novel performance can be regarded as a leader in online novels, and your works are not out of the ordinary, and are quite different from most online works... Do you have any questions about interviewing you? "

Oh, it turns out that he was thinking about it and didn't reveal it.

It's purely because of his performance on the surface.

Ji Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief, he straightened up and lay down again, still slumped on the sofa.

And the pen and ink on the other side,

But it feels like this 'big guy' doesn't have a clear understanding of the results of his books.

That is, leaving aside the achievements of the network serialization.

Just talking about the sales of a book by this 'big guy' after publication,
How many domestic authors can catch up?

The combined sales of "Bird in a Cage" at home and abroad have exceeded 100 million, but it is still growing rapidly.

The domestic sales of "Seven Days of Hell" have gradually accumulated over a long period of time, and they are almost 100 million.

There are other books whose sales volume is not less than 30, because many books have not been published for a long time, and these figures will be even more exaggerated in a longer period of time.

But it seems that this 'big guy' doesn't know much about his achievements and influence.

"Clumsy and uncommon: Oh, so."

It's not that Ji Zhuo doesn't know much about his own influence...he has a lot of readers.

Especially when some readers want to turn over his new book from every corner, his cognition is very strong and clear.

He asked that question earlier, purely because he was worried that his "ABC" vest would be leaked.

But before he knew it, he seemed to be quite powerful.

"Clumsy and uncommon: Big brother, can I be concerned, what will be interviewed then?"

"Ben Mo: When the time comes for the interview, they will inform you in advance. If there is anything you can't ask or say, you can just tell them when the time comes... After all, it's an official media.

Pen and ink: In addition, considering that you may not be willing to go for an interview, they can come to your home. "

With such thoughtful consideration, what else can Ji Zhuo say, the official media still needs to show some face.

Looking around the living room, fortunately those "Seven Sins" have been signed and mailed out.

Otherwise, with so many books, I don’t know how to hide them.

Hmm... At that time, I have to XZ up the "Seven Sins" and the "Seven Sins" award-winning trophies on the bookshelf, and hide them tightly.

"Clumsy and uncommon: that's fine... When is the interview?"

"Ben Mo: Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I'll tell you what time you have."

"Clumsy and extraordinary: then tomorrow afternoon.

Pen and ink: OK, I will pass it on. "

……

"Hello, Mr. Ji, I finally met you. I am also your loyal reader. I have read your "Seven Days of Hell", "The Caged Bird", "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" and other books.

"I didn't expect you to be so handsome, suave and talented."

The interviewer who came to Ji Zhuo's residence was a middle-aged female reporter, dressed very intellectually, but her speech was extraordinarily enthusiastic and a little excited.
Followed by an accompanying photographer.

"You're welcome."

Ji Zhuo politely shook hands with the female reporter, moved away to let these people enter the room, and poured a glass of water.

"Mr. Ji, you don't have to be so formal and polite. My surname is Xu, and you can call me Reporter Xu."

"By the way, Mr. Ji, before starting the interview, can I make a small request...I brought a book, can you sign it for me?"

After speaking, this middle-aged female reporter, Reporter Xu raised the book she had been holding in her hand, which was the hardcover edition of "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals".

Ji Zhuo looked at the female reporter and was a little silent.

It's not that he is reserved, it's just that this reporter Xu is too enthusiastic,
It's like seeing a loyal fan and seeing an author... well, it doesn't have to be like that.

"Sorry, Mr. Ji, I'm a little excited."

But fortunately, this reporter Xu quickly reacted and restrained his excessive enthusiasm.

"It's okay. Just sign 'Yuchengqi', this is the pen name I wrote when I wrote "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ji. I've always wanted Mr. Ben Ji's autographed book, but I haven't been able to buy it. Now it's my wish."

The reporter put the book down temporarily with a smile, and said,

"Mr. Ji, let's get into the topic of today's interview?"

"These are some questions we need to ask later, mainly to care about some of your creative process, Mr. Ji, and many of your readers are also very concerned about this matter. This interview is mainly text interviews, accompanied by photography The teacher is mainly to take a photo for you, Mr. Ji. After the interview, I will show the interview draft to Mr. Ji. We will send it out after you confirm that there is no problem, so please rest assured and don’t be too cautious , just like a normal conversation."

The female reporter first handed over a piece of paper with some interview questions written on it.

Ji Zhuo glanced at it, there was nothing excessive about it, he nodded his head to indicate that it was okay.

The official media is still relatively bottom-line.

"Hmm... Mr. Ji is usually in the study when he creates? Do you mind if we go into the study for an interview?"

"In this way, we can also take a photo of your study room. Many readers are very interested in the place where you create."

"can."

The "Seven Kinds of Sins" and related awards that people can't see in the study room, Ji Zhuo had already collected them before.

Ji Zhuo nodded in agreement.

A group of people entered the study again,

Pressed the recorder,

The female reporter started the interview, showing her professionalism, asking Ji Zhuo some interview questions.

"Does Mr. Ji usually create in this study?"

"Yes."

"Then this place is really a miraculous place, because many interesting stories have been born here. Of course, Mr. Ji is even more powerful. These stories are all born from your pen."

"For creation, Mr. Ji, do you have some good methods, such as how Mr. Ji usually conceives the creation of new works before creating new works."

"...I usually think about which subject matter is less likely to be accepted by the market."

"It is indeed a very interesting angle to think about new books that are not accepted by the market or liked by people and content, and to think in the opposite direction to avoid these contents."

don't know why...

This female reporter is quite professional, but when she spoke, Ji Zhuo still felt a little tired.

"Mr. Na Ji, do you have any good advice for some new writers?"

"do not learn from me."

"Indeed, Mr. Ji, most of the themes you choose are biased, mainly relying on your personal ability to make the whole theme popular. It is indeed very difficult for most new authors to come into contact with the creation of works of this difficulty at the beginning of creation."
