Rebirth 2004: A lone figure in the literary world

Chapter 24 Become famous as early as possible!

Chapter 24 Become famous as early as possible!
The two sides had almost finished their conversation, and Li Lie gave Zhang Chao the interview outline he had prepared in advance, asking him to prepare. If possible, it would be best to conduct it in the afternoon.

It was already noon, and at the insistence of the school leaders, several guests "reluctantly" accepted the invitation to have a working lunch at a restaurant outside the school.

Although Zhang Chao was the focus of attention, it was obviously not appropriate for a student to sit at the table, so he still had to go back to the dormitory to get his meal card and go to the cafeteria to solve the lunch problem.

Several leaders, teachers, and Zhang Chao were chatting and laughing as they walked down the administrative building. They happened to meet Director Huang Jianguo of the Political and Educational Department, who politely escorted Zhang Chao's parents out.

Director Huang Jianguo felt that he had survived the most difficult hour of his life. In the unclear situation, facing the continuous inquiries from Zhang Chao's parents, he exerted 1% of his bureaucratic skills, and his words were so vague and airtight.

Zhang Chao's parents were stunned. They were ready to humble themselves, apologize, and teach their son martial arts in public, but in the end, they couldn't even figure out whether their son had violated discipline and was punished.

Zhang Chao's father was also a senior teacher. After listening to Huang Jianguo's rambling for a long time without telling the truth, he knew there must be some new situation and it was useless to stay. So he simply said goodbye with his wife and wanted to find Zhang Chao directly to find out the situation.

As a result, as soon as he walked out of the door of the Political and Educational Department, he saw his beloved son walking down the stairs chatting and laughing with a group of people who looked like leaders.

Zhang Chao was also surprised to see his parents and shouted, "Dad, Mom, why... did you come so early?"

Zhang Chao's mother's face darkened, and she was about to scold him: "It's all because of you..."

Fortunately, the head teacher, Lao Wang, saw the opportunity quickly and immediately interrupted the conversation: "Dad Zhang Chao, Mom Zhang Chao, long time no see. Zhang Chao is such a good boy, he has brought honor to our school, we must praise him well!"

Zhang Chao's mother was also a sensible person and she shut up immediately.

Wu Xingyu stepped forward and shook hands with Zhang Chao's parents: "You two have really cultivated a good student for us! I invited you here today to witness Zhang Chao's glorious moment. The time is just right, let's have dinner together."

In this way, Zhang Chao's parents followed the leaders to the restaurant in a daze.

Zhang Chao had lunch in the cafeteria and did not go to the radio station. Instead, he returned to the dormitory to look at the interview outline.

Except for on-site reporting, most interviews with people are not immediate. The interviewer must communicate with the interviewee in advance, first determine whether the other party is willing to be interviewed, and then give the interview outline to the interviewee and prepare for the interview.

In most cases, the interview process is not a smooth one. It is subject to the interviewee's emotional control, language expression, and whether the interview effect expected by the interviewer is achieved.

Most interviews are conducted over and over again, just like filming a movie or TV series. In the end, whether it is a written report or a TV report, it is edited and integrated.

In order to improve the broadcast effect, TV directors and reporters will sometimes even ask interviewees to recite the same sentence multiple times with different emotions, and then edit the most outstanding sentence into the final film.

Not to mention the written reports, not everyone can be eloquent and clear. Often reporters have to "pick the gold from the dregs", trying to piece together words that can convey complete information from a pile of fragmented, illogical, rambling, and unfocused materials from the interviewees.

The interview outline that Li Lie provided this time was very detailed, ranging from Zhang Chao's personal situation, to his motivation for writing, to the publishing platform, as well as his thoughts on Chinese education and views on fairness in admissions... There were so many things in total, about twenty or thirty items.

In fact, some of the questions were very sensitive, and Zhang Chao found it difficult to answer them. It seemed that Li Lie was very well prepared.

You also need to be fully prepared to deal with it.

The interview was scheduled for around 4 p.m. Zhang Chao was also exempted from afternoon classes so he could prepare carefully.

It was a rare thing recently that Zhang Chao could stay in the dormitory at noon. He usually disappeared after having lunch.

But no one in the dormitory dared to disturb him now. Not only his roommates, but also all his classmates felt that Zhang Chao seemed to be more and more different from them.

The extremely poor academic performance, the songwriter of "Your Answer", and the calm attitude of being able to speak freely in front of a TV camera or hundreds of listeners...

Of course, there was also his increasingly alienated attitude towards his classmates - now even Chen Huan could hardly talk to him. He was also rarely seen on the basketball court.

Zhang Chao, like a loner in Class 2 () of Senior High School, is heading towards a life path that is different from all his classmates.

Liu Xuyang has given up the idea of provoking Zhang Chao. It is clear that Zhang Chao is no longer on the same competitive track with him. He is even a little afraid of Zhang Chao. He thinks he knows a little bit about "physiognomy" and "black art", but he can't grasp Zhang Chao's thinking at all. Instead, he often feels terrified that Zhang Chao sees through him.

Zhang Chao didn't notice these things, he was completely immersed in his own world. Before, he wanted to go to a good university, now he wanted to become a professional writer. Just as he was thinking about how to answer Li Lie's question, someone knocked on the dormitory door twice.

The person knocking on the door was a strange boy whom Zhang Chao didn't know; but he knew Zhang Chao and said directly, "Lanting is downstairs, I ask you to come down." There was a rather confusing look in his eyes.

Zhang Chao looked at his watch and it was already 1:20. He then realized that he hadn't been to the radio station at noon today, and that Lan Ting might have been worried. So he put on his coat and went downstairs.

As soon as I walked out of the dormitory gate, I saw Lan Ting. Her little face was red from the cold, like an apple waiting to be bitten.

When seeing Zhang Chao, Lan Ting asked, "Is this a disciplinary matter?" Zhang Chao made a key and went to the computer room to surf the Internet in the middle of the night. Although few people knew about it, the commotion after he was caught was quite big. After all, when he was "escorted" back to the boys' dormitory, he was accompanied by two security guards.

Zhang Chao saw that the students coming in and out were all looking over here curiously. Even students upstairs were looking down from the windows to see what was going on. He knew it was not the right place to talk, so he said, "Let's go to the radio station and talk."

Song Shiyu was still on duty at the radio station, but she was not playing the guitar.

Zhang Chao had no intention of hiding the matter from the two of them, and he was not the protagonist of a "useless son-in-law slapping face" novel. So now that the time was right, he briefly told them about the matter.

Lan Ting and Song Shiyu were so shocked that their eyes widened. They really couldn't imagine that Zhang Chao had such a big impact without making any noise.

Lan Ting was the one who was particularly shocked. After all, she was a girl who loved literature. After being surprised, she felt a little disappointed and said, "Last weekend, my uncle mentioned this 'Midnight Tide' to me. I didn't expect it was you. So that's why you need to use a computer and go online so urgently, right? Zhang Chao, you are going to be famous now... You are just a senior high school student like us..."

Zhang Chao smiled and said, "Didn't Zhang Ailing say 'You should become famous as early as possible'? I have decided to pursue a career in writing in the future."

Lan Ting said: "Now that you are famous, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..." What she was afraid of, Lan Ting herself couldn't say.

Song Shiyu looked at Zhang Chao quietly without saying anything, but her eyes contained the same meaning.

Zhang Chao said, "I am afraid that after I, 'Fan Jin', pass the imperial examination, I will 'forget my relatives', right? Don't worry, I will 'never forget my relatives when I become rich and powerful'."

This sentence made both girls laugh.

Zhang Chao said seriously: "No matter how famous I am, or what path I take in the future, we will always be good friends!"

"Really?"

"real!"

"The hook!"

"Isn't this childish..."

"If you don't make a pinky promise, it means you are guilty."

"I'm telling you solemnly, never say that a man is weak... he can't be weak in any way!"

"……What's the meaning?"

"Uh... let's just make a pinky promise."

"it is good!"

"We'll make a promise to each other for a hundred years. No change!"
