Exclusive Interview?

  "Excuse me, may I take up a bit of your time? Just a few minutes will be enough."

  Su Zhe thought for a moment and finally agreed. After all, Yangcheng TV is his hometowns TV station, and this will also help his reputation.

  "I am Yangcheng Evening News Overseas Editor Lei Bei, hoping we can have a pleasant cooperation."

  The "Figures and Events" column, this column is his father Su Jians favorite to watch, roughly speaking, this column is about explaining some famous people from Yangcheng, historical figures of China over the past 5,000 years.

  Yangcheng was also a prosperous city in ancient times, so there are many celebrities from Yangcheng. In the first year of broadcasting, it did not repeat itself and can be said to have fully promoted the historical culture of Yangcheng, making it a very popular program.

  Last year, it was also rated by CCTV as one of the top ten historical columns, and it can be said that "Figure Cloud" column is a key program of Yangcheng TV station.

  I heard this show is creating a modern celebrity and he wont be lucky enough to be the first one?

  "This year, a new version of the program Renwu Fengyun is being prepared, which will be divided into two columns: Modern Celebrity Fengyun and Historical Celebrity Fengyun"

  "While modern celebrities career planning is mainly divided into four stages, namely brilliant youth, vigorous and ambitious young people, successful middle-aged men, and accomplished old age. We are now preparing for the first stage of brilliant youth. Originally, our plan was to invite the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but your sudden rise to fame has changed the mind of our new director, who gave me a death order that I must invite you to cooperate, otherwise I will be doomed."

  The champion of the middle school entrance examination is naturally not as powerful as the college entrance examination, but the problem is that if it is a college entrance examination, is it still a teenager? Its probably more appropriate to become a young adult.

  Yangcheng only had a middle school exam champion last year, and the new director of Yangcheng TV was originally planning to invite him. However, he didnt expect Su Xianchens sudden heavenly performance - publishing books, serializing "The Sherlock Holmes Collection", and most importantly, "Feed - Come Out" became a teaching material for junior high school students. If all these were not enough to make the new director determined, then Yu Qiyuans announcement today completely enlightened him.

  The top scorer in the high school entrance exam is not as awesome as Su Rui Chens cow!

  "No problem with coordination, when do we start?"

  "Shall we go to the coffee shop in front? The environment there is relatively quiet."

  "No need, just come to my home, its closer." Yangcheng Evening News reporter Lei Bei and Su Xianchen came together to the home.

  "Xiao Chen is back, whos this?"

  "Oh, its Yangcheng TVs Lei Bei journalist, wanting to interview me about some things." Wei Xin heard and smiled "Really? Little Chen must cooperate well with Journalist Lei Bei, Ill prepare tea."

  Upon entering Su Rui Chens home, Lei Beis first reaction was that it was messy, but not because the floor hadnt been swept or the bed wasnt made. Rather, there were many books and drafts scattered about, appearing cluttered due to a lack of systematic organization.

  Lei Beirui picked up a draft on the ground, it was a little boy wearing glasses and a suit with a tie, looked quite cute on the draft, there were also some words next to it.

  The knowledgeable and experienced Lei Bei naturally recognized this as a manga character setting.

  "Is this comic character setting also your original work, Su Shichen?"

  "Yes, I drew it."

  "Suzaku Reishin is indeed a multi-talented person" This sentence is absolutely a sincere compliment from Raijin, who didnt expect that Suzaku Reishin not only writes well but also draws manga so well. To think that Suzaku Reishin is only 14 years old and wont turn 15 for several months yet!!

  "Looking at the character setting, it seems like a detective comic. Detective comics are extremely rare in the market these days, even in manga giant Japan, they are very scarce."

  "Hmm, life is too difficult, I must master another skill to make a living." Su Xichen paused for a moment "So recently Ive been practicing holding chopsticks with my left hand." Lei Bei was taken aback and then burst out laughing.

  "Joking aside, in fact, apart from writing, comics are also one of my hobbies, and reasoning suspense is one of my favorite genres. Its a different narrative from comics, which can draw many things that cannot be described in words, or a short comic strip can convey what would take many paragraphs to describe."

  "Of course, I didnt say that comics are better. If we really have to distinguish between the two and determine which one is superior, its actually impossible to do so. Text has its own advantages, while the images in comics are fixed, text can be infinitely extended."

  "I previously serialized a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories in Yangcheng Evening News, and got a feel for the textual construction of reasoning topics. Now I want to try to get a feel for how comics handle reasoning topics, so I signed up at the Bada Shanren Training Institute to practice drawing, with the goal of constructing a detective comic."

  Ma Juns uncle let him study in the training institution for free, although most of the reason is because of Ma Jun, but Su Xichen took advantage of it, so he advertised for him on Yangcheng TV.

  Ma Juns uncle probably didnt even dream that a few years later, when Su Shicun became a world-renowned cartoonist, every time someone mentioned Su Shicun, they would say that his comic skills were learned at the "Ba Da Shan Ren Training Institute". The excellence of the training institute is self-evident.

  So Ma Juns training institution became the top painting training institution in the country and even around the world. Never underestimate the strength that a great cartoonist can show, but thats another story.

  "Oh? When can this manga meet its readers?" Lei Bei.

  "Uh, the manga isnt going well, it needs a lot of planning, so it wont be released within this year."

  "Doesnt drawing and writing manga feel tiring?" Rei Hoku.

  "I cant be a descendant of a rich man, so I must work hard to become the ancestor of a rich man. Its okay to suffer and work hard for that."

  "By the way, I have a rather private question. My younger brother knew that I was coming to interview you and asked me to ask you something." Lei Bei.

  "Whats wrong?"

  "My brother, he is your loyal reader. Originally, he didnt like reading newspapers, but in order to be the first to see the serialized Sherlock Holmes stories, every morning before dawn, he would wait at the newsstand."

  "Its a great honor" to write a book that readers will like. This is indeed a very exciting thing for an author.

  "But why did you stop serializing The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes just recently?"

  He published one of the Sherlock Holmes stories every day, and since there are only sixty or so of them in total, including the four novellas, he didnt know what to publish after finishing them. So, after publishing over a dozen articles in a row, he stopped serializing under the pretext that he couldnt think of new ideas.

  "There are two reasons, one of which is that I have been conceiving a new novella in the "Sherlock Holmes Series" recently. The previous "Four Signatures" took me three months to conceive and revise, so in order for readers to see the new novella as soon as possible, I stopped the serialization of the "Sherlock Holmes Series" and focused on revising it with a satisfactory progress. I believe that within three weeks at most, the new novella will be able to meet with readers."

  "This is really good news, and another new development. I believe that when my younger brother hears this news, he will be so happy that he will dance with joy. And whats the second reason?"

  "Uh, the second reason is some personal issues. Im a rather ambitious person, which is also why I chose to use that Western-style narrative method in the first place."

  "Could it be that you want to introduce The Sherlock Holmes Series to the Western world?"

  "Why not?" Su Xichen smiled slightly "So I recently joined an English tutoring class, and with school too, theres not much time left."

  Lei Bei had no idea how many times he had been shocked by this 14-year-old boy, Western America was the center of world culture, whether it was music or movies.

  If you become a superstar in Hollywood, USA, then you are an international superstar. If your book is a bestseller in the US, then its a global bestseller. If your comic sells well in the US, then it becomes an internationally bestselling comic.

  In a sense, the United States represents the whole world, which is why stars from all over the world want to rush to the United States, but few succeed, and its even more difficult to break into the US market. Only a handful of works have been recognized by the US, which can be described as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. This is also the reason why internationally renowned writers are so scarce in China.

  No matter how well you write, America wont recognize you, whats the point? At most, its just for domestic play.

  "Is it going to be three weeks later, and then release a new medium-length work, can we resume daily updates?"

  "Hmm, this estimate is unlikely. Given that the Sherlock Holmes series consists mainly of short stories, I need to keep each one fresh and come up with different puzzles. Although my brain" Su Xianchen pointed to his own head "is not like ordinary peoples, its still not possible for me to come up with new ideas every day. The serialization of over half a month has already used up all the ideas I had previously thought of."

  Lei Bei nodded, this point is understandable. Although the short story of reasoning only has 20,000 to 30,000 words, it requires no less thought. Its completely impossible to come up with a classic short story of reasoning in just one day.

  If Su Shi really can produce a short story every day and still maintain the quality of the short story, then Su Shis brain should be dissected.

  "I try to maintain a pace of one new reasoning post per week, weekly updates." Su Xichen said after thinking for a moment.

  "I heard that The Collection of Sherlock Holmes has a publication plan, hows the discussion with DeYun Press going?" Lei Bei asked.

  Its now ranked around 30th on the new book chart, I hope everyone can support it by clicking, collecting and recommending. Today I have to attend a banquet, but I promised four updates which wont be late, so dont worry.
