Chapter 208 Interview with the first issue
"Exclusive interview with Oriental Entertainment Weekly?" Lin Zhimo asked back: "Why did they suddenly remember to interview me?"
As the end of the year approaches, as the movie's post-production is gradually completed, Lin Zhimo has more and more time left. As a result, as soon as he arrived at the company that day, Han Qianyu told the "Oriental Entertainment Weekly" that he wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with him.
Speaking of this "Oriental Entertainment Weekly", it has some connection with Lin Zhimo. It was because of reporting the scandal between Lin Zhimo and Xu Huanhuan that it became famous. Later, it was resolutely revised, from a daily newspaper to a weekly newspaper. It was uniquely promoted in the entertainment industry and was known as the only media in the entertainment industry that does not report gossip news.
Not to mention, their revision was really successful. Perhaps it was because of too many scandals about the real and fake entertainment industry. When the "Oriental Entertainment Weekly" published news that it would never report without evidence, it immediately attracted a large number of loyal readers. After all, no one was willing to read some fake reports and be fooled by those entertainment reporters.
"Well, it is said that this time it was the editor-in-chief of the newspaper who came here in person." Han Qianyu also felt a little strange. After all, no news broke out on Lin Zhimo in recent times, and it could almost be said to have disappeared. However, this newspaper came to report Lin Zhimo at this time, which felt like it was unnatural.
Lin Zhimo pondered for a moment. Anyway, he had nothing to do now, so he said, "Okay, where are they now?"
Half an hour later, Lin Zhimo met with the reporter and editor-in-chief of the "Oriental Entertainment Weekly" in a cafe.
"Are you... Sun Yaohai?" Lin Zhimo looked at the other party in surprise. He didn't expect that the editor-in-chief was really the deputy editor who pretended to be a reporter to interview him. Lin Zhimo still remembered that he had inferred that he would become the editor of the weekly newspaper after the revision in the future, but he didn't expect that it would become the real thing now.
When Sun Yaohai saw Lin Zhi’s assertion, he smiled: “I should call you Mr. Lin now, it’s more appropriate, haha.”
Lin Zhimo shook hands with the other party and said, "Editor Sun has changed a lot compared to last year."
Lin Zhimo remembers that Sun Yaohai was a little timid when facing him last year, but now he reveals a capable aura all over his body. How can he be cowardly?
"Do you have to look at each other with admiration for three days? And in comparison, Mr. Lin's changes are really big!" Sun Yaohai also sighed.
If Lin Zhimo was still just a star like last year, Sun Yaohai would not have come here in person. But now Lin Zhimo owns his own entertainment company. No matter how large it is, it has already been on track after all. It can be said that he is no longer on the same level as a celebrity who makes a living by relying on his skin.
Lin Zhimo waved his hand: "Don't praise each other, come and sit down. Although I don't like drinking coffee, if the interview location seems a bit unlucky in the teahouse, just let's just go."
Lin Zhimo's words made Sun Yaohai and the reporters who were traveling with him chuckled, making them have a good impression of Lin Zhimo's approachable personality. Compared with those second-rate stars who obviously don't have much fame but pretend to be generous, Lin Zhimo gave them much better impression.
"Our newspaper intends to make a special issue for characters, selecting a celebrity as the cover character every month, and the content in the special issue is entirely about the deeds of celebrities and the evaluations of his friends and fans." After sitting down, Sun Yaohai first expressed his purpose: "And Mr. Lin, you are the cover character of the first issue of our special issue!"
"Oh?" Lin Zhimo raised his eyebrows and joked: "Editor Sun put me on the stove and roasted me. How could I be the cover character of the first issue?"
Sun Yaohai disagreed: "Mr. Lin probably doesn't know that the audience of our weekly newspapers is mainly the social elite class among the ages over 20 to 30. They have the ability to consume and pay attention to the entertainment industry, but they don't like those fake gossip news, and they prefer to see how a star slowly grows from a grassroots to a top star."
"Of course we can report on some big stars who have become famous for a long time, but the recognition of readers is probably not great. After all, their social experiences are different. Mr. Lin, you are different. Mr. Lin, you have been returning to the Condor Princess in 1997 to the current entertainment company boss. It takes only less than five years to complete the entire time, but the achievements you have achieved are something that some people cannot achieve in their entire lives."
"And, in our twenties, we haven't found another artist as successful as you. In our opinion, our readers are definitely more interested in you than other stars."
Lin Zhimo listened to Sun Yaohai's reasonable analysis of his strengths, nodded from time to time and seemed to be intoxicated. After Sun Yaohai finished this long passage, he opened his slightly narrowed eyes and asked in surprise: "It's gone? Why don't you continue talking?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Sun Yaohai's face, and the photographer beside him turned red and forced to smile.
Lin Zhimo then smiled and said, "Okay, Editor Sun, you don't need to say these words in front of me. Only then will you be sincere in writing them in the report."
Sun Yaohai explained with a black thread at the end of the line, "What I said is true..." Seeing Lin Zhimo's obvious disbelief expression, Sun Yaohai shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's hurry up and have an exclusive interview today."
At this time, the cameraman also turned on the camera and another reporter took out the notes.
"Mr. Lin, we all know that you were a martial arts craftsman before entering the entertainment industry. Did you ask if you had to become an actor before you could do it?" Sun Yaohai didn't have the consciousness of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper and directly picked up the microphone and asked.
"Well, when I came out of my hometown, I thought to become an actor, but you know, it was difficult for an outsider who had no identity or background to be an extra in Yanjing. I met my martial arts boss by chance. He saw that I had a few skills and led me into the industry."
In fact, Lin Zhimo had no determination to be an actor at the beginning. He just heard that being an actor could make a lot of money, so he just wanted to find an actor to pay off his debts for his family. If someone had told him to make money in pyramid schemes, he might have been squatting in prison now. But these words can only be left in his own stomach and cannot be seen in the newspapers.
"Then how long have you been doing martial arts?"
