Chapter 59 Interview

Li* asked, "Do you feel unhappy in the past?"

Zhang Duo blinked and smiled and said, "It's been a while. It's quite pessimistic."

Li* asked, "Oh, can you tell me what it came from?"

Zhang Duo said, "Buddha says that people have seven hardships, life, old age, illness and death, resentment, love and separation, and can't ask for it. Life, old age, illness and death are inevitable. The annoying people or things are always in front of you. Your beloved people leave you and you can't get what you want.

Li * said thoughtfully, "Is it the last three hardships that bother you?"

Zhang Duo said frankly, "Yes!"

Li* asked, "Can you say which one?"

Zhang Duo shook his head with a smile and said, "You can't talk about this!"

Li* asked again, "Is it still bothering you now?"

Zhang Duo smiled and said, "It doesn't exist again!"

Li * asked, "When I read Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, I found that there was a deep Buddhist meaning in it. Do you believe in Buddhism? I think the audience will also have this question in their hearts!"

Zhang Duo said, "I don't believe in Buddhism, but I believe in cause and effect, the cycle of natural principles, and retribution."

Li * nodded thoughtfully and said, "Because of this, the characters in the book will "no one is unjust, and all those who are affectionate" are evil, right?"

"No one is unjust, and all is evil" came from a letter from Mr. Chen Shiqi to Jin Yong in 1966, but in this life, Zhang Duo's own words when he commented on Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils were quoted by reporters in the newspaper and were well known to the world.

Zhang Duo nodded and said, "Yes, everyone in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils can't escape the three poisons of greed, hatred and infatuation, so they are suffering from the "seven sufferings"."

Li * sighed: "I think your understanding of Buddhism is really deep! You are not the kind of person with wisdom, are you?"

Zhang Duo said with a smile, "Maybe I was too poor in my previous life. When I crossed the bridge, I didn't even have the money to drink a bowl of Mengpo soup!"

Li * covered his mouth and giggled and said, "You have a sense of humor!" The audience under the stage also laughed.

Zhang Duo said, "Humor is an attitude towards life. In the past 16 years, no matter how bad things have happened, I can find a trace of comedy in it to achieve the purpose of self-deprecating."

Li* asked, "Can you give a specific example?"

Zhang Duo looked up and thought about it and said, "When I was in elementary school, I played with water in the river and stepped on a deep pit. At that time, it sank at once and was dragged up by my classmates. I played with sand in the sand pit and was smashed by the sand from the piece, and almost buried. When I lived in junior high school, I experienced a fire in winter. Wait, a group of children stood outside in autumn clothes and autumn trousers; they fell from the top while playing the parallel bars at school and broke their arms.

"Then I told my father, I said, Dad, you see, I have experienced water robbery, land robbery, fire robbery and gold robbery since I was a child! It seems that I still have to have a wooden disaster! I will walk away from the pole in the future, because our pole is made of wood. I said that one day I would not be hit by it and die in response to the robbery.

Li* couldn't help laughing and asked, "Isn't your father shocked to hear that?"

Zhang Duo said with emotion, "I'm always shocked. He dragged me over and beat me twice!"

There was a burst of laughter in the studio hall, and the audience in front of the TV also laughed. Zhang Duo's mother, Wang Shuying, said, "Did he say this to you?" Zhang Zhenxing smiled and said, "This bastard is so bold that he dares to talk nonsense on TV!"

Zhang Duo continued: "Although my father beat me, he also muttered in his heart that he would not really do anything. Just lead me to find a fortune-telling "half-immortal" in our village." "Half Immortal" asked me the eight characters of my birthday and said, "Oh, this child is missing all five elements!" If you don't break it, you will definitely not escape the "wood disaster" in the future. My father asked him how to break it. "Half Immortal" said so. I gave him a name with all five elements, just call him Jinzao Mu!"

Li * covered his mouth and asked, "Is it a fire and earth stove, a bath?"

Zhang Duo said, "Yes, that's it."

Many viewers in front of the TV laughed and discussed the topic at this moment.

"That half immortal is too funny, and all five elements are missing!"

"Jin Zaomu, you are so talented that you can come up with such a name."

"If all five elements are missing, isn't that Xing Zai missing a lot!"

"Why can't Xing Zai afford the pseudonym Jinzaomu? This name has been popular for a long time!"

"Xing Zai is very popular now, okay?"

Li* asked with a smile, "Then why didn't you use this name at the beginning!"

Zhang Duo had a surprised expression, "How can I believe such words? If the name is changed, it is really called the lack of five elements!"

Li* said, "I feel so wise when talking to you that you don't look like a 16-year-old teenager at all."

Zhang Duo said, "I have thought a lot since I was a child, and many things are more open-to-sight."

Li* asked, "For example!"

"For example, be cute!"

Li * said doubtfully, "What do you mean by being cute?"

"That's why we often talk about being cheap, with our parents and elders! I haven't acted coquettishly with my parents, grandparents and others in my old age!" Zhang Duo said.

Li * felt very surprised: "There are so few people like you, because everyone will more or less act coquettish with their parents and elders when they are young!"

Zhang Duo said seriously, "I won't, because my parents love me very much, and I don't need to show myself to get their attention. Needless to say, they will naturally buy what I need. They usually buy me what I want. If they don't buy it, there must be their reason. When I go out, they will give me the money and tell me not to be stingy with the money I should spend, but not to waste it. I haven't asked them for money since I was a child.

Li* was shocked and said, "I'm so happy! You have thought about repaying them well in the future!"

Zhang Duo said, "That's for sure. I'm repaying it now. Almost all the manuscript fees I got are from them!"

Li*'s eyes lit up, and his pupils instantly expanded and said, "That's a lot of money!" Can you reveal the specific figures?"

Zhang Duo leaned back and said with a smile, "Men's wallets and women's ages can't be mentioned!"

At this moment, the audience in front of the TV began to discuss again. How much money do you think Xingzai made?" It has to be one or two million anyway!" "The days of living with a stewardess" has to earn one or two million, okay?" It is estimated that there are three or four million!" Shit, how much money when you are young! He is handsome, worthy of being my idol!"

Li * secretly felt a pity in his heart. He was young and handsome, but he was too young, otherwise he would be a good choice. Maybe he could help him later.

Li* said with a smile, "I don't mind revealing my age!"

Zhang Duo smiled and said, "I mind revealing my income!"

"You were very excited when you got the first manuscript fee!"

Zhang Duo said, "It's okay, because I took it with my father at that time, but it was just a few numbers in the card, which was not as shocking as cash...!"

Zhang Duo talked to Li * about being a man, family, writing books, etc. When it came to the audience's questioning session, the audience got up and asked, "Hello, Xingzi, I'm your book fan. You are now serializing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" to update 14,000 words every day. How did you do it?

Zhang Duo said, "As soon as I have free time, I think about the plot in my mind, and then type it out every night. I don't go to bed until about one or two o'clock every night."

The audience asked again, "Your "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is claimed to be from the historical materials of "Ming History" and "Mingshi Record". Have you read these two books before?"

Zhang Duo said, "Yes, I read Ming History and Ming Record when I was in junior high school.

The audience at the scene and in front of the TV were shocked, "Wow, I began to read this kind of book when I was in junior high school. 'Xing Zai' is really a god!" Zhang Zhenxing was so angry that he said, "This bastard didn't control it after all. He knows how to read extracurricular books day by day!" Wang Shuying said sadly, "This child stays up so late every day, it's too hard!"

A girl received a microphone and did not ask questions, but took a bouquet of flowers to the stage and dedicated it to Zhang Duo. Zhang Duo got up and took it and said, "Thank you!"

The girl hugged Zhang Duo and said, "I want to ask Xingzai, what kind of person is she in your mind?"

Zhang Duo thought for a moment and said, "I'm a little male chauvinist. I like that kind of girl who is touching and pitiful to see. It can stimulate my desire to protect her and make me want to be good to her in my heart.

After Zhang Duo answered several audience's questions, Li * walked to the stage and said, "Since its inception, in addition to being highly sought after by book lovers, it has also caused widespread controversy. Now we invite two special guests to come up and discuss the topic of novel creation with Meng Nanxing! Now let's invite the famous writer - Qin Shiyue, a graduate student of the Department of History of Yanjing University, Qi Siyuan, with warm applause!"

The live music suddenly became exciting, which was very similar to the music played by the "God of Gamblers" in his previous life! Zhang Duo suddenly felt a little strange. He didn't have these when he came in. He sat on the sofa and waited for it to start. Why do you feel that the two special guests are bigger than themselves? It doesn't make sense!

Qin Shiyue and Qi Siyuan walked into the studio with good clothes. A staff pushed a long sofa and let them sit next to Li*. Li *, sitting in the middle, introduced: "Sitting on my left is Qin Shiyue, a famous domestic writer who published the novel The Great Qin Empire."

Qin Shiyue waved his hand and said, "Hors in front of the TV, I'm Qin Shiyue."

Li * continued to introduce: "The next to him is Qi Siyuan, a graduate student of the Department of History of Yanjing University. He may not be familiar with Siyuan, but Siyuan is a famous disciple. His teacher is a famous historian in China, a researcher at the History Research Center of the Wei, Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties of Yanjing University, and the history of the Wei, Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties in China. Vice President of the Association, Professor Feng Xuanqing.

Zhang Duo heard it, but he was excited and thought to himself, "It's actually Feng Xuanqing's disciple. He didn't tell me yesterday. It seems that they are not good to come!"
