Chapter 81: The Noble Son of a Poor Family (two in one, 4500 words!)

The discipline director, Li Jiagui, had to attend a meeting of the Education and Manpower Bureau in the morning and had no way to refuse.

before leaving.

He was really worried about Fan Wumian, mainly because he was afraid that he would be as out of touch as before and talk nonsense in front of the influential reporter from the Ogung Gazette, which would affect the image of Trinity College and his own future.

then.

Li Jiagui arranged a person who could control Fan Wumian and assist him in accepting the interview with "Dagong Daily". Not surprisingly, it was Zuo Ziyan, his capable assistant.

The two of them walked towards the teaching building together, standing quite close to each other.

Zuo Ziyan had a smile on her pretty face. She no longer cared about being seen by other classmates or whether rumors would spread and become a topic of conversation after dinner.

She said to Fan Wumian:
"Congratulations in advance. You seem to be going to be famous this time. This morning, the media even pushed your news to my mom's email. When she mentioned you during breakfast, I almost bit my tongue."

That was an interview I gave last night after participating in a radio program.

After discovering that he already had several good songs, the reporter felt that he had a high chance of becoming famous, so he praised him highly in the article and even took a photo of Fan Wumian, which was used as the cover photo of the radio station's email news this morning. At least tens of thousands of people across Hong Kong would see it.

After more than a month of hard work, the preparations are basically complete and it is only a matter of time before I become famous.

Fan Wumian put his hands in his pockets and said teasingly with a smile:
"What does it feel like to have your tongue bitten? I kind of want to try it."

"I also found myself becoming popular. On my way here this morning, I was stopped by little fans several times and I gave them more than a dozen autographs. It was an indescribable feeling."

"Thank you for helping me just now. For a moment, I felt as if I was enveloped by light and became the embodiment of justice and beauty."

Zuo Ziyan raised her eyebrows and said:

"Humph, I'm helping you out of kindness, but you actually want to bite my tongue? To be famous for being the best swordsman, you should kill the one you like first. You can go find those little fangirls and try. There are girls who like you everywhere anyway."

"Ayan, you're not jealous, are you?"

".No way!"

Honestly.

Fan Wumian was also helpless.

Thinking back to the thunderous night two days ago, he knew very well what he had missed because of Zuo Ziyan.

Even when I think about it now, I still feel the joy that comes from the fact that I was holding my breath but my brain was secreting dopamine crazily.

If Zuo Ziyan is two-faced, or is simply treating him as a backup, Fan Wumian will definitely be eager to throw himself into Zhuang Muxi's arms. Everyone should stop wasting time.

But Campus Beauty Zuo was busy helping him release an album, and running around and carefully planning his "campus concert", and today she really stepped forward to defend him when something happened.

Although her way of loving is a bit bland, many details show that she is indeed working hard on it.

It seems a bit inappropriate to kick Zuo Ziyan away just because he wants to cheat on him not long after they started their secret relationship.

That's why Fan Wumian has a headache. He thinks it's not easy to be a heartless man, a scumbag, or a sea king. You need to have a big heart that doesn't care about the girl's feelings at all.
After separating from Zuo Ziyan.

When Fan Wumian walked in the classroom corridor, he was booed by students from several classes. Someone even shouted, "Big star! You look so handsome when you sign autographs!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the laughter from the Grade 7 () class next door became even louder.

Fan Wumian waved his hand and returned to his class.

His bad friend Mantis had heard about the reporter harassing him, and he and Roudie and the others surrounded him, shouting:

"If my sister hadn't sent me to school this morning, I would have definitely stood up for you and slapped that crazy girl! She actually suspected that you, the king of heaven, paid for the song. She definitely didn't know how poor you were before!"

"."

Just by listening to the tone, it seems that being poor has become something to be proud of.

Fan Wumian certainly knows best that those songs were not written by himself, but this still does not affect the fact that reporter Chai Wenshi deserves a beating.

The reason was that he was very sure that the other party had rushed up to him like a mad dog for no reason today and wanted to bite him hard.

This situation is similar to that of many self-media that only care about traffic and revenue and don't care about the lives of others. The truth is not important, what is important is to be able to create explosive news.

If you meet this kind of reporter, just crush him to death.

Fan Wumian said:
"I appreciate your kindness, but if you want to be a celebrity, you're bound to run into some gossip. There's a saying that goes, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. You'll run into more and more people like this in the future, so there's no need to take it too seriously."

Mantis blinked and continued:

"Damn, reading more books really helps. My speech has become more refined and elegant."

When the general education teacher walked into the classroom, he first looked at Fan Wumian and mentioned with a smile that a group of teachers had just listened to the radio program in the office last night, praising him for his excellent singing.

Fan Wumian really didn't know that the recordings of Hong Kong City's radio programs were still available online for people to listen to for free.

This is undoubtedly a good thing.

He began to think about the interview he would be giving to a reporter from the Omiya newspaper later. Attracting more people to listen to his album online should be helpful in promoting the album.

I have always thought that the number of radio listeners is limited, but now that the recordings can be found online, the publicity effect may exceed expectations.

While the teacher was teaching, Fan Wumian continued to study on his own.

Over the past few days, he has slowly regained the feeling of learning, and his young mind is particularly useful. His scores when he is doing practice questions are steadily improving.

--------------

At around 9 o'clock in the morning, reporters from Ta Kung Pao arrived quickly.

After receiving the news from the security guard at the door, Zuo Ziyan took the "imperial sword" of the dean of discipline and asked for leave directly from the teacher. She arranged a rest area in the yoga club for their interview. After preparing tea, she did not leave and sat obediently not far away.

Judging from her serious look, she was probably not very confident about Fan Wumian.

The main reason is that the Oguni newspaper has a great influence, not just limited to Hong Kong. Even if Zuo Ziyan's father accepts an interview with it, it will take it seriously. Its status is far beyond the reach of gossip tabloids.

At this moment.

The middle-aged male reporter named "Cha" took out a recorder and camera from his bag and said:
"Originally, I heard that there is a talented newcomer in the music industry, so I just wanted to ask you some simple questions."

"But this morning, classmate Fan made a big fuss again. Many people on the Internet have been discussing the phrase 'poor families don't deserve noble sons', and the picture has been forwarded crazily on various forums, so I plan to change the direction of the interview and lean a little more towards the social page, is that okay?"

"I know that publicity is very important for new artists, and I will mention this in the article. Don't worry, I like those songs very much."

Some people seem easy to get along with when you first meet them.

This is the feeling that reporter Cha gave Fan Wumian.

Before the interview started, Fan Wumian asked curiously, "Of course, no problem, but what pictures did the netizens post?"

Reporter Cha said:
"It was the clip of you being interviewed by a TV station this morning. Someone cut it into a long picture and it caused a lot of noise."

"This lady is also quite popular. I originally wanted to go to Miss Zuo alone. Now it's such a coincidence that I can kill two birds with one stone. I have even thought of the headline of the interview with Miss Zuo in advance. When the time comes, I will write a separate press release called - "The Most Righteous Middle School Beauty in Hong Kong City"."

"By the way, I heard from a colleague that you two seemed to have filmed a commercial together. Are you in a relationship? You are a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match." After listening to the reporter's words.

Fan Wumian looked at Zuo Ziyan, who was sitting not far away, with a strange look.

The only thing in my mind is -

"It's ok that I've been busy for more than a month, but how lucky is she that she can even get this kind of popularity!?"

Zuo Ziyan was also confused when she heard this, with a dazed expression, and couldn't figure out what this had to do with her.

There is no need to doubt.

Given Zuo Ziyan's looks and family background, if her photo was published in the Omiya newspaper, accompanied by an article titled "The Righteous Beautiful Girl", she might become famous across Taiwan, Mainland China and Hong Kong.

If Zhuang Muxi is just beautiful, then Miss Zuo is both beautiful and rich.

Her foundation is there, she just lacks some topics worth hyping. A beautiful rich woman with a sense of justice is easy to be sought after.

With the launch of the advertising MV of "Gray Avatar", many people have actually paid attention to her recently, especially in the mainland and Hong Kong areas, but it's a pity that only the picture is popular and she is not famous.

If Zuo Ziyan was labeled as a "righteous girl" or "the most beautiful student union president" like Zhuang Muxi's title of "piano goddess", it would undoubtedly make it easier for people to remember her.

In terms of publicity effect and popularity, it may be better than Fan Wumian's.

no way.

There is no absolute fairness in this matter.

Who can blame those old perverts on the Internet for loving to follow beautiful women? They are afraid of missing every opportunity to feast their eyes, and they are happy to share and promote with each other.

Fan Wumian felt it was magical when he thought that he might have a chance to make two popular young actresses famous.

He relentlessly pursues exposure.

Staying by his side made it easier to get media attention. For example, today, in order to help him, Zuo Ziyan not only went on live TV, but also successfully attracted the attention of reporter Cha.

As for Zhuang Muxi, her psychological quality is relatively poor.

If Fan Wumian had not accompanied her to the competition and encouraged her during the competition, she might not have won the first place in the piano competition and had the opportunity to unexpectedly become an Internet celebrity.

Considering the global population base, even if the proportion of real beauties is very low, the number will still not be small.

The reason why many female stars are not the most beautiful or the most talented, but can still become famous is mainly because of exposure.

As more people get to know you, you naturally become a star.

Fan Wumian was very clear about this, so he thought that he might be able to make them both famous.

Although it was just an accident and would not take away his own traffic, Fan Wumian still envied them from the bottom of his heart when he thought about how easy their success was.
Reporter Cha chatted with Zuo Ziyan for a few words and started to interview Fan Wumian first.

Holding a recorder in hand, reporter Cha asked, "Hello, Mr. Fan, can you first give us a brief account of the situation at home?"

There is no need to be too particular about written interviews. After collecting the materials, you still have to go back and write them into an article.

Fan Wumian nodded and said:
"My mother passed away when I was very young, and I grew up with my father. He learned to sing opera when he was young, and I heard that his ancestors even opened a theater. Unfortunately, my father had no diploma and no other skills. After the family fell into decline, he had to do odd jobs in the crew, and his life was quite hard."

Reporter Cha suddenly thought of something and interrupted him:

"His surname is Fan, and he's an opera singer. Could it be that his business used to be near the Kowloon Walled City? I think I went there when I was very young, and it was later demolished and turned into apartments."

Fan Wumian still has memories from the past, and now his tone is helpless:

"Yes, I heard my dad mention it, but unfortunately my grandfather sold the theater at a low price. It may be hereditary. Although I have never practiced singing, I have always been interested in singing. I think I have some talent for it."

This is just nonsense. I am giving you a heads-up in advance and trying my best to find reasons to eliminate the outside world's doubts about myself.

Reporter Chai Wenshi's questioning in the morning reminded Fan Wumian that it was time to waste such a good excuse as "my ancestors were opera singers".

In ancient times, the status of "actors" was low, but in modern times, as the social atmosphere changed, it became a symbol of status.

Fan Wumian had heard titles like "So-and-so is the granddaughter of the Peking Opera master" and "So-and-so is the son of the crosstalk master", which often made people look up to them.

The reporter made a note in the notebook, thinking that he might be able to find some clues about the ancestors of the Fan family when he went back to check. Then he asked again:

"Someone told you this morning that you couldn't write those songs. What do you think about that?"

"It's very confusing. It feels like she's just going to go after it, regardless of whether it's possible or not. I was stunned when I heard that kind of question. This doesn't seem like what a professional journalist should do. In my mind, journalism is a very noble profession. Compared to school, society is really complicated."

Fan Wumian is not afraid of causing trouble.

If he doesn't crush the female reporter this morning to death, is he waiting for her to get back at him and take revenge on him?

He went on to add:

"I have been preparing for the album "That Girl" for several years. I even practiced Mandarin hard so that the whole Greater China region could hear my voice. But I didn't expect to encounter setbacks right at the beginning."

When reporter Cha heard this, he felt a little angry.

I have seen the interview video before. He has always been proud of his identity as a journalist and is most annoyed by those colleagues who do whatever it takes to gain popularity.

Normally, he would bully businessmen and celebrities to make a living, but this time it was even more excessive. He even dared to attack students directly. He was ready to strongly condemn this behavior.

Record the key points again.

The reporter asked again:

"Your words, 'A poor family is not worthy of producing a noble son', hit the soul directly and touched the hearts of countless people. How did you come up with this sentence at that time?"

Although he didn’t have much experience in being interviewed, Fan Wumian was very experienced and immediately said:

"I was very happy to be interviewed by a TV station and I prepared well for it, but I never expected that I would be criticized and made difficult for. I usually like to read books, and when I faced that situation, this sentence suddenly came to my mind."

aside.

Zuo Ziyan had been listening attentively, and felt that this was a good opportunity to get to know Fan Wumian again. She had known for a long time that his family conditions were very ordinary, so she was not surprised.

Listen to him talk in an orderly and eloquent manner.

Instead, it made her think, "It turns out that Fan Wumian can be so steady," and she felt quite fond of him.

But the four words "I like reading" instantly broke down Zuo Ziyan's defenses.

It was like being hit by a sledgehammer on her funny bone. She managed not to laugh out loud with great difficulty. Her shoulders were twitching constantly and she lowered her head so as not to be seen by the reporter.

After Fan Wumian saw this, he immediately guessed why his girlfriend was like this, and said with a twitch in the corner of his eye:

"I used to focus on other things, which slightly affected my academic performance, but recently I am studying hard to apply for a university in the mainland. The mainland has snow-capped mountains and grasslands, deserts and rivers, the Five Sacred Mountains, and countless scenic spots and historical sites. I have always wanted to visit and appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland."

These words may seem harmless, but they are actually a premeditated marketing move.

Whoever can successfully capture the mainland market in the future will have the opportunity to stand at the pinnacle of the entertainment industry. If you burn more incense in your daily life, you will more easily get twice the result with half the effort.

Both the album and the mobile ringtones that will be launched soon cannot be separated from the huge mainland market.
