Chapter 170: Interview
When Meng Shu was about to get off work, a refreshed Shen Jie suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Is there a reporter looking for you today?"
He smiled and asked,
"Nope." Shen Jie shook her head, and then said, "But something else happened. ”
"What else?"
Meng Shu was about to ask clearly, but Alice hurriedly walked over: "Meng Shu, something has happened!" Some of your female readers went to the newspaper office and said they were trying to stop their reporting. ”
"Report?" Meng Shu felt strange, he frowned: "How many readers ......?"
"There aren't many people, maybe a few dozen......
"Don't worry about dozens of them." Shen Jie interjected: "Those people don't have anything to do, Meng Shu doesn't have to worry about them, they won't make trouble." ”
"How do you know the way?"
Meng Shu looked at Shen Jie in surprise.
"Of course I know." Shen Jie clasped her hands around her chest and said, "I know the person who took the lead, she is an idle eldest lady. I always love to find something to do, but my nature is not bad, and I will definitely not cause trouble. ”
Shen Jie is very clear about everything that happened today, how can ordinary fans have such great action, and the actions of female readers are all organized.
The people who organized the newspaper office were the same people who organized the commotion in the square last time, Shen Jie knew them, and felt that they were completely boring.
Those managers are usually ordinary people, and their prestige in the fan group is high, so they naturally refuse to let go of the opportunity to be the boss, so they want to carry out activities whenever they have the opportunity.
According to the words of Shen Jie's roommate Li Yu, that is-"It's all idle!" ”
The girls are idle, and it's better to organize a group of fans than to go shopping. So the action is particularly positive. It's just that Shen Jie sometimes thinks. If it goes on like this. They're likely to make things bigger.
However, on the other hand, Shen Jie felt that organizing activities was also beneficial. For example, she also organized a group of people to come to Phoenix Company today, but she called people and sent them back.
Shen Jie advised Meng Shu not to care, if Meng Shu passed, it would not make that group of fans more proud. But fortunately, Meng Shu was not interested in this, and after listening to her words, he didn't care.
Meng Shu took Shen Jie home. The next day, he went to work, while Shen Jie and Li Qin watched TV together.
It's still early, but the morning news is on the air, and the news content is the live broadcast of Ninghai TV's interview with Meng Huo, which has already released a preview, and many people are watching next to the TV.
"It's really hard to interview a teacher." The reporter who went to interview this time was a young reporter who looked like Sven and spoke with a lot of humor: "If it weren't for the release of "Dream Eater" this time, I might not have had a chance in my life. ”
The picture on the TV is an office of Weekly Shonen. Meng Shu sat in the middle, and there were many comic magazines on the bookshelf behind him. It looks like a cartoonist.
After a period of pleasantries, the young reporter began a conversation with Meng Huo.
"It's a pity that the teacher is already a well-known cartoonist in Ninghai, but your story has always seemed very mysterious."
"The purpose of this interview is to learn more about the teacher, so let's start with my debut." The reporter sat opposite Meng Huo, flipped through his notes, and asked: "You made your comic debut after graduating from junior high school, you were only 15 years old at that time, and you should be at a carefree age, why did you suddenly embark on this road." ”
"This question...... Honestly, the reason is simple, because I want to make money. Meng replied: "I am a single parent, my mother raised me alone, she is under a lot of pressure, and I want to reduce her burden." ”
"And when it comes to making money...... Meng Shu pondered for a moment: "I'm a child, and I don't seem to have anything else to do, so I thought of comics." ”
"What's not a novel?" The reporter asked curiously: "Isn't it easier to write novels?" ”
"I'm more confident in drawing." Meng Shu smiled: "And the competition in the novel market is so fierce, I can't figure out whether I am the material or not, so I chose comics." ”
"Then why don't you choose Longteng Company?"
"Phoenix focuses on original comics, and I don't want to be a cartoonist based on a novel." "And I've been taken seriously. ”“
He recalls what happened last year: "After I submitted my comics, the editor-in-chief of Weekly Shonen bought tickets for me and my mother, and he came to Ninghai Railway Station to pick us up and take us to the company. And gave me a royalty share that was unattainable for newcomers, and helped me contact Ninghai No. 1 Middle School to study, all the actions moved me. ”
"So much happened." The reporter clapped his hands and sighed: "It's a pity that the teacher is so honest, which makes me admire you even more." At the age of 15, you embarked on the path of a cartoonist for the sake of your mother, which is undoubtedly an inspirational story, and I think your mother must be very happy now. ”
In Jiayuan Community, Shen Jie found that Li Qin's eyes were red, and hurriedly handed over a tissue from the table.
"Auntie, is what Meng Yu said true?"
She asked cautiously.
"Well...... Li Qin nodded, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "You don't know what to do, that kid didn't dare to tell me if he successfully submitted, and then lied to me that it was a friend's submission, deliberately testing my reaction." ”
"Think about it now......" Li Qin's eyes were a little distressed: "At that time, he was thin and weak, how could he be so energetic now, I treated him badly." ”
Shen Jie opened her mouth wide, then turned her head to stare at the TV, it turned out that Meng Huo was so great!
On TV, the interview continued, and the reporter asked another question: "Why is the teacher drawing comics for his mother, but in this way, isn't the story of "Dream Eater" not related to Teacher He Xi?" ”
He smiled: "Now readers think that you set foot on this road because of your broken love!" ”
"How is that possible?" Meng Shu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I haven't been in a relationship yet, and I'm so young, I don't plan to find a girlfriend for the time being." ”
This answer made Bai Ping, who was applying medicine next to the TV, jump up, staring at the TV with her eyes shining, completely unconcerned about the injuries on her hands.
In other places in Ninghai, some girls also cried out excitedly. Around these girls, many elders are shaking their heads and sighing, look at how rational and smart people are, he shouldn't have fallen in love at his age!
It's a pity that their daughter is going to fall even deeper......
However, many people questioned Meng Shu's answer in their hearts, and the reporter asked this question: "Why don't you lie to us, teacher?" You haven't been in love, how do you write about love? ”
On this issue, Meng Huo was a little unimpressed.
"I don't think love needs to be in love to draw it...... Love is an innate emotion of human beings, and even people who have never been in love can draw the love story in their hearts. ”
"This ...... It seems that there is such a thing. The reporter hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Twenty years ago, the queen of romance once said that the love written by people who have never been in love is the most moving. And those who have been in love often can't write the taste of first love. ”
"But what a pity teacher, it's a pity that we were a day late for this interview, if you had been interviewed yesterday, there would have been no accident in the afternoon." The reporter suddenly laughed and said: "Yesterday afternoon, a small group of your female readers went to the newspaper office to stop them from reporting the news. ”
Meng Shu nodded: "I've heard of it, but it's not very detailed, anyway, it's okay if there's nothing to do......
"I can explain this to Mr. Hexi." The reporter was prepared, he flipped through the notes forward, and said: "The cause of the incident is because of "Dream Eater", the protagonist Majo's debut time is very similar to that of Mr. He Xi, which makes many readers misunderstand that Majo represents your past. ”
"What a pity, teacher, your reader's action is very high!" After closing the note, the reporter was amazed: "What a pity that the teacher is the youngest idol cartoonist in China." ”
"It's impossible for ordinary cartoonists and novelist readers to have this kind of cohesion, and it's not the first time that the teacher's readers have made this kind of action, and you're already in the same position as the star idol."
"Huh?" Meng Huo's eyes widened: "It's impossible, I don't show up often." ”
"That's what I want to admire about the teacher." The reporter smiled: "There are also several idol cartoonists in Zhongxia, they are frequent guests of our TV station, why don't you be the first teacher, and become an idol cartoonist without showing up." ”
"No......" Meng Shu frowned: "What do you mean by idol?" ”
"Idols? Cartoonists of the same strength, handsome ones are idols, and ordinary cartoonists are ordinary cartoonists. The reporter explained: "It's a pity that the teacher is good-looking, so it's no wonder that others praise you as an idol." ”
This reporter is envious in his heart, the idol's statement is not limited to appearance, but appearance is a key point. A good appearance can change many things, such as those Internet beauties who have been praised as goddesses and idols by countless teenagers, in reality, they can't take anything except their appearance.
If Meng was ugly, his female readers would certainly not be so crazy.
Due to the fact that it was a morning news break and the time was limited, the interview was about to end, and at the end of the day, the reporter expressed his gratitude to Meng Huo:
"I'm glad that Mr. He Xi was able to take time out to accept our interview today, time is limited, and I would like to ask Mr. He Xi to say a few words to our audience."
"Is this okay?"
"Absolutely." Meng Shu nodded, then thought about it in front of the camera, and said, "What a pity for me, thank you for your continued support in Ninghai." ”
"But I'm just a cartoonist, and I hope people don't treat me like a star. I want a quiet life, only quiet can draw a good story, as for love...... I haven't considered this yet, but I'll make my own decisions, and I hope you will maintain your respect for me! ”
Meng Huo had a smile on his face.
"I hate everyone who talks about my love affair......" (To be continued......)
