Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 117: First media interview.

I let my parents know I was safe.

Chen Yang returned the call to the team leader at the starting point.

These days.

The captain made dozens of phone calls to himself.

It's likely that because of the chapter I wrote online, a number of media outlets might have found Qidian.com.

"Bu Yangda, I thought you had disappeared."

Upon receiving Chen Yang's call, the team leader was overjoyed: "Do you know how many media outlets have come to Qidian looking for you these past few days?"

"Thank you, Captain, and thank you to Qidian for not revealing my information."

"This is what we should do. After all, we wouldn't dare without your permission. But you're quite something, Aurora University. To be honest, I don't admire your writing skills, I admire that you got into Aurora University. I admire even more that you not only write well, but also got into Aurora University."

Are there any good writers?
There are too many.

Did anyone get into Aurora University?

There are quite a few.

But what if we combine the two?
There was only Chen Yang.

That alone is enough to make Chen Yang a national sensation.

"By the way, it seems you haven't given any interviews to the media?"

"I've been avoiding the media these past few days because I'm afraid they'll expose my identity, photo, and name."

"That's true. However, I think you could do some interviews. Just one or two will do. Shanghai TV has contacted us several times, but we haven't dared to agree yet. We wanted to ask for your opinion."

"It's not that I don't want to be interviewed; if they agree to my conditions, I'm willing to."

"You just won't expose their photos and names?"

"Yes. There are other pieces of information that I won't disclose, and they can't reveal them either."

"I think it's a good idea. I'll talk to them about it."

"Ok."

After speaking with the captain.

Chen Yang glanced at the author backend on Qidian.com.

These two days.

The average daily subscription price of Chen Yang's "The Great World" has skyrocketed to 15000.

Simultaneously.

Chen Yang also logged into the new author group and then made a brief comment.

When Chen Yang saw his fellow authors, they greeted him with another wave of excited greetings.

Chen Yang chatted with everyone.

Just then, the phone rang.

Are you not particularly good-looking?

"You are..."

"I'm Wang Yu, a reporter from Shanghai TV. We'd like to interview you. Is that alright with you?"

"Sure. But..."

"Don't worry, we have no problem with your previous statement about not showing your face or revealing your name. Where are you now?"

"I am in Aurora."

“Great! How about we go to Aurora University for the interview?”

"Ok."

Shanghai TV station is very efficient.

Almost half an hour after I hung up the phone, they arrived with a large group of people.

Chen Yang saw that the commotion was quite large.

We quickly led them to a relatively secluded playground in Aurora.

"Student Bu Yang, you are too modest."

Wang Yu said with a smile.

Wang Yu, who interviewed Chen Yang, was probably around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

In good shape.

However, he was wearing business attire, which made him look quite formal.

Chen Yang replied, "It's not that I'm being too low-key. If I were too low-key, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to issue a single post. The main thing is that if the photos are exposed all at once, I'll have a lot of trouble at school."

Chen Yang is satisfied as long as the desired effect is achieved.

Anyway, the person is already famous.

The book also became famous.

As for what a person looks like and what their name is, those are minor matters.

"understand."

Wang Yu nodded: "Then let's begin."

Busy.

The interview has now officially begun.

"Hello everyone, I am plain-looking."

Because they don't show their faces.

Therefore, this interview was conducted with the interviewee's back to the camera.

"You're not good-looking, so why did you choose this pen name? You're not ugly at all, you're even quite handsome."

"I originally wanted to choose the name 'plain and unremarkable,' yes, that's the name of the character Louis Koo played in a TV series, where everyone said he was plain and unremarkable."

“Bu Yang, you’re very humorous.”

"Thank you."

"You have recently attracted a lot of attention in China. Many people admire you and say that you are a genius writer who was admitted to a prestigious university in the college entrance examination."

"Thank you for your attention. However, I think it's the popularity of the college entrance examination and prestigious universities that has given me too much of a halo. Without the college entrance examination and prestigious universities... I would just be an ordinary author."

"Excuse me, how old are you?"

"18."

"I can't believe that someone so young can still be so rational."

"Actually, I'm not that great. I just did okay on the college entrance exam, but it was mostly luck. Besides, there were quite a few people in my high school who did better than me, and some even got into Tsinghua or Peking University. Also, I studied humanities. I think that science and engineering will likely make a greater contribution to the country in the future... I really admire those students who study science and engineering."

"That's so well said, I have to give you a thumbs up."

Wang Yu kept praising him.

She has interviewed too many gifted teenagers.

Don't talk about other people.

She has also interviewed Han Han, Guo Xiaosi...

In Wang Yu's memory, most of those gifted teenagers were rather arrogant.

But with Chen Yang, she saw restraint, low-key demeanor, and lack of arrogance.

When did you start writing online novels?

"The summer vacation before the start of senior year in high school."

"What made you decide to write online novels?" "Publishing online novels is relatively convenient and doesn't have many barriers."

"But many people say your online articles are written in a very simplistic way."

"This is why I published a separate chapter, and why I revealed my identity. Being plain is not a sin. When our vernacular literature first appeared, it was also criticized by a large number of moralists as being plain, lacking in content, and even considered dross. If they say that online literature is plain, then how are they any different from those old-fashioned people who attacked vernacular literature back then?"

“Student Bu Yang, it seems you have a great deal of knowledge about the history of Chinese literature.”

"I'm still far behind many of my predecessors. But I want to say that online literature will change the current state of literature. It may even become the mainstream."

"Mainstream, a very good topic."

Wang Yu was very excited.

He truly is a genius.

Every sentence is so witty and impactful.

What are your thoughts on the current generation of young writers?

"What do you mean?"

"For example, Han Han and Guo Jingming. Online, some people refer to you and them as the three great genius writers. Some even say that your future achievements will surpass those of the two."

"I can't be called a genius writer; I'm afraid many people will criticize me then. As for Guo Jingming and Han Han, I haven't met them, so I don't know how to evaluate them."

Will you follow their path in the future?

"will not."

Chen Yang shook his head: "I write online novels. Although they are published, they are mainly online. At the same time, I don't want to become a writer idol. This incident was actually forced upon me. If I could, I would prefer to quietly continue writing."

"May I ask, what kind of book is the vast world?"

"The genre is fantasy, and as I mentioned in the chapter, the theme is a coming-of-age story of an ordinary person. It's similar to the coming-of-age stories of ordinary people in reality, but reality may have all sorts of helplessness, so I put it in a fantasy world."

"Is this a dream?"

"Yes, what I write about is the dream of ordinary people, and it is also my dream."

unconsciously.

The interview lasted for more than an hour.

After the interview, Wang Yu shook hands with Chen Yang and said, "Uncle Chen Yang, I didn't know your real name yet."

"Uh……"

"Hehe, this isn't interview time right now, I'll keep it a secret for you."

"Chen Yang".

"Chen Yang... hahaha, not particularly handsome. On one hand, you're handsome, on the other, not handsome... Chen Yang, are you handsome or not? Uh, sorry, sorry..."

They probably realized there was something wrong with that statement.

Wang Yu was a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you, Chen Yang. If you have time, please visit Shanghai TV sometime. To be honest, I really like your online literature and your community. I'd love to do a few more episodes on this topic. If possible, could I interview you again sometime?"

"Sure. But..."

"No face shown, no name revealed... is that right?"

Chen Yang nodded.

"OK, see you next time."

Wang Yu waved goodbye to Chen Yang.

……

The report by Shanghai TV has once again drawn widespread attention online.

Although Chen Yang did not show his face or reveal his name.

However, his low-key, reserved, and unassuming personality has won him the affection of many people.

"I admire this brilliant writer."

“Me too. Actually, I used to like Han Han, even though he was a bit arrogant. But I think it's normal for young people to be a little arrogant. You're so talented, you'd be arrogant too. But today, I saw a different kind of composure and level of understanding.”

"Yes, such a talented writer is indeed worth learning from."

"There's only a silhouette of his back. I really want to know who he is and what he looks like."

"Never mind, he just doesn't want us to know who he is or disturb his life with this kind of interview. But we already know him, so we'll just keep an eye on him."

"Well said. Keep it up. I'll call you that for now, even though you're not particularly good-looking. But we'll always be watching you."

On the other end of the media.

The two talented writers mentioned in this interview, Han Han and Guo Jingming, also focused their attention on this topic.

Guo Xiaosi sighed: "Alas, I also wanted to study at Aurora University back then, what a pity."

Yes.

When Guo Jingming was interviewed back then, he said that his biggest dream was to join Aurora University.

Second is Xiamen University.

As a result, he failed to get into either of the two prestigious universities.

In the end, he could only get into Shanghai University.

Although Shanghai University is also good.

However, it is far inferior to Aurora University and Xiamen University.

To know.

Guo Jingming really, really loves Aurora University.

Because I like it too much.

His childhood was a story that took place at Aurora University.

"Let's get to know each other another day."

Guo Xiaosi sighed and said.

the other side.

Han Han didn't say anything.

He had previously stated that he did not want to go to university or be specially admitted by any prestigious university.

Several years passed.

Although Han Han still doesn't regret her decision.

But deep down...

Han Han revealed a hint of longing.

If I could go to university, and a prestigious one at that... perhaps there would be even more interesting things to do.

Some years later.

Now in middle age, Han Han looks back on the past.

He said.

That year, Chen Yang studied at Aurora University, and I was truly envious.

pity.

I, however, have never attended university.

If life could be lived again.

I will definitely go to a good university, and I will definitely use my pen to record the wonderful four years of university life.

That's a matter for the future, of course.
