Generation Z Artists

Chapter 41 Funny Good News [Thanks to the New Alliance Fangcunshan]

The interview lasted a long time and we talked a lot.

In terms of content, it is enough for her to write three in-depth articles, analyzing Fang Xinghe from different angles.

Among them, some of the content was obviously very controversial, so the newly converted mother fans privately reminded: "Do you need me to beautify it?"

"Thank you, but no."

Fang Xinghe flatly refused.

"But……"

Zhao Chunhua hesitated and frowned.

As a seasoned journalist, her professional instinct is to dig out as much breaking news and the truth about the characters as possible. However, her deep affection for Fang Xinghe in her heart always makes her feel uneasy.

After hesitating for about two seconds, her professional instinct was finally overcome by her emotions, and she finally decided to explain the consequences to Fang Xinghe.

The boy in front of her has the dual identities of idol and child, and she has poured a lot of true feelings into him.

She is willing to show the greatest kindness without affecting herself.

“To be honest, the public opinion on the layoff policy is critical.

There are quite a lot of influential people in the cultural field who are speaking out for it and they are united. To go against them, well... I think it might be a little ill-considered...

This matter itself is very sensitive, and your words are so harsh that you will offend many people.

Also, although you mean well, this probably won't bring you any benefits.

There are a lot of people who are angry and cannot get over their emotions. No matter how correct you are, you may not be grateful to them.

You cannot use yourself to measure others. If you are smart, you think everyone is smart; if you can control yourself, you think everyone can control themselves.

That’s not true. In fact, the nature of most ordinary people is very ordinary. I have seen too many of them.

The world is made up of mediocre people and vulgar people.

You are special, while ordinary people are emotional, unable to take responsibility and unable to accept reality... Alas!

Anyway, do you understand what I mean?"

"I know, Sister Zhao."

Fang Xinghe accepted Zhao Chunhua's kindness and smiled brightly at her.

Then, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and his sword-like eyebrows penetrated into his temples. The wild spirit burst out from his strange eyes like sword energy.

"But so what?"

It's just fighting, and I enjoy it.

Seeing the boy's eyes, Zhao Chunhua could no longer persuade him.

She forced herself to suppress the trembling feeling in her heart and said goodbye to Fang Xinghe.

"I have to go back and finish my manuscript. Xiao Fang, keep in touch!"

"it is good."

Fang Xinghe waved his hand nonchalantly, stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched him for three seconds, not a minute more or less, and then turned around and went back to the house.

Zhao Chunhua watched the young man's figure disappear behind the door, and finally vaguely realized that Fang Xinghe seemed to have a scale or a ruler in his heart.

She didn't know how to describe it, the feeling was so strange.

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She felt extremely itchy inside, so as soon as she arrived at the train station, she couldn't wait to call Wang Yali.

"Ali!"

"Is the interview over? How's Xiao Fang? Isn't he awesome?"

“Super, super incredible!”

Zhao Chunhua was only excited for a second, and then she was overwhelmed by confusion again. She described the mysterious personal feeling in an inarticulate manner and wanted Wang Yali to help analyze it.

"You know, I've met a lot of people, good and bad, smart and stupid, sincere and hypocritical...

But how could Fang Xinghe be so special?
I don’t know how to share my thoughts with you, because many of my feelings are based on emotion and intuition, I can’t describe them, and my mind is very confused now, do you understand? "

Zhao Chunhua didn't originally expect Wang Yali to understand, but magically, she actually understood.

"I understand. After having deep contact with Fang Xinghe, I intuitively feel that everything about him is awkward. He is completely different from the image you expected. The good parts are even better than the highest level, but the angular parts are so incompatible with your inherent thinking..."

"Oh my!" Zhao Chunhua exclaimed, "That's right, that's it!"

Wang Yali raised her eyebrows and smiled complacently, feeling both happy and proud.

You little brat, are you looking up to such a powerful person?
No one knows Fang Xinghe better than me!

"So, what is the specific problem? I will analyze it for you."

Wang Yali took charge of everything without hesitation, and the next second, Zhao Chunhua couldn't wait to ask her four questions in a row, which made her dumbfounded.

"Where do you think the mystery surrounding Fang Xinghe comes from?

He obviously has enough capital to gain a foothold in society now, so why is he still so crazy, so wild, and so aggressive?
But I feel that he is both smart and calm. How did such contradictory personality traits come about?
In the end, what does he want to do?
sister……"

Wang Yali rubbed her temples with a headache, her head buzzing.

Forget it, don’t call me sister anymore, just call me Xiaoli, I don’t know any fucking person!
"Well, it's hard to explain over the phone. Come back first. Let me finish reading the interview transcript, and then we can talk slowly!"

……

How did Fang Xinghe's personality form?
Lie in bed for several years, die once, come back to life again, be born as a wild wolf cub, see the devastation in an unfamiliar era, and finally be born with a system big daddy, that's it.

See, how simple it is.

As for what he wants to do...

For now, Mr. Fang just wants Kuku to increase his followers, and he doesn’t care about anything else.

Today's interview was always within the framework he had set out in advance, without any mistakes.

Those cliché-sounding truths may seem like preaching, but in fact they are not. He never intended to convince anyone.

Essentially, it's just a self-display.

I show the outside world my profound thoughts that far exceed those of my peers, in order to attract the pursuit and admiration of fans. It's that simple.

As for whether others believe it or not, or are convinced or not... you'd better not be convinced.

If there really is a quarrel or criticism, that would be great. Thank you for bringing your own food to abuse my fans for me.

Saying the right thing and getting scolded, doing the righteous thing and getting criticized are the situations that are easiest to attract and retain fans.

More than 20 years later, a similar incident helped Mingde gain tens of millions of followers in one day. Translated to the present, the scope of dissemination has been greatly narrowed, but the unit effect will only be stronger.

Fang Xinghe did not intentionally provoke a fight the whole time. He just stood there like a nail that could not be bent, saying the right things and being his own god.

After that, whoever wants to curse can curse, whoever wants to hit can hit, just come on.

Brother Fang was not panicked at all, he was even full of anticipation.

You better give me some effort and don't let me down.

……

Zhao Chunhua rushed back to the capital overnight, taking the manuscript, the video, and the article "Small Town Test-Taker" that she was going to publish in their newspaper.

She couldn't wait to make a huge splash with the Beijing Youth Daily and teach the media of the same level a lesson.

As a result, before she even got off the bus, the new issue of the morning newspaper had already brought the education discussion to a climax.

Jilin Province Daily: "What kind of students are the talents we need? ——Interview with Fang Xinghe"

Han Han: Seven red lights are hanging high, illuminating my future.

Fang Xinghe: I got first place in the high school entrance examination because I wanted to.

This was the first time that the media set the two against each other, triggering an even more intense battle.

The moment he saw the newspaper, Zhao Chunhua blurted out a swear word and was so angry that he threw everything on the table.

"what happened?"

When her colleagues asked her about it, she laughed angrily: "It's nothing, I was tricked by a country bumpkin..."

"Oh! An interview with Fang Xinghe?"

"Ah."

When they heard Fang Xinghe's name, everyone in the office turned their heads.

"Sister Zhao, how is Fang Xinghe?"

"Very cool!"

After returning to the imperial capital, Zhao Chunhua picked up his imperial accent again and raised his thumb proudly.

“Is the real person that handsome?”

“Even more handsome than in the photo!”

"Wow, that's really amazing. Isn't this a combination of civil and military skills?"

"That's right!"

"Tsk tsk, it would be great if this guy was my son..."

"Hahaha, what a nice thought!"

"Sister Zhao, how is the interview material? Is it of high quality?" "Just wait and see!"

Zhao Chunhua opened the notebook and began to make the final revisions, vowing to get the front page headlines tomorrow.

At this time, the power of good news is also spreading across China.

In fact, in the recent public opinion field, the education war of words no longer uses Han Han as the protagonist of the narrative. Most of the time, they just mention his name, make a stand and fire a shot, and then everyone talks about their own reasons and says their own things.

Jibao is the only provincial newspaper in recent times that truly deconstructs Fang and Han.

Of course, the tendency is obvious.

The good big brother was trampled into a humiliation, while his own child Fang Xinghe was established as a model of a good student in the new era.

The main reason is that the results are so dazzling. We were only 5 points away from full marks and could have won first place in any province.

Therefore, the cunning editor felt at ease with his writing style, which was very dirty.

【Fang Xinghe always fights】

Well, children in Northeast China are naughty since they were young. Who hasn't had some troubles with others and bumped into others? That's not a big deal!

Furthermore, where does the word “总” come from?

It's obviously just occasionally!

[Fang Xinghe recruited a bunch of younger brothers]

Well, you don't understand. People from Northeast China are extroverts. Our parents have taught us to explore the world since we were young. We call everyone "brother", "brother", "sister" or "sister" when we meet them.

Thirteen Eagles? What Thirteen Eagles?

My sister has it!
In fact, it was a spontaneously formed study group, and Fang Xinghe was the group leader.

After our investigation, we found that Fang Xinghe urged his younger brothers and sisters to study hard. As a result, all the children's scores in this final exam improved.

He is really touching, handsome, kind-hearted and responsible!
[Fang Xinghe collects payment from his classmates]

Nonsense! Slander! Rumor!

What? You have witness statements?
Ahem, Fang Xinghe’s first place in the provincial exam achieved a breakthrough in junior high school education in Nong’an County. Do you know how difficult this is?

Look at Han Han again, he failed 8 out of 7 subjects!
[There are a lot of dirty words in Fang Xinghe’s article]

Han Han failed 7 subjects.

[Fang Xinghe is too arrogant and doesn’t know how to be humble at all]

Han Han failed 7 subjects.

[Fang Xinghe shamelessly criticizes the media]

Han Han also did it, but Fang Xinghe ranked first in the high school entrance examination with 610 points!
[Fang Xinghe threatened to break his biological father’s legs…]

Sorry, we didn’t report it at all!

The press release wrote down everything except this point, as if it had never happened.

It’s confirmed, it’s true love.

.........

In order to downplay the negative information about Fang Xinghe, the media from his mother's side lost all their dignity and just glossed over the bad parts. When they couldn't do anything else, they brought Han Han out to take the front...tsk tsk.

At the very end, he started to be sentimental again, talking tearfully about how difficult it was for an orphan to "turn over a new leaf", how touching it was, and how worthy of praise and encouragement it was.

He set up a tablet for Fang Xinghe in the void, and after burning incense, he began to cry bitterly.

To be honest, Fang Xinghe felt embarrassed after seeing it.

Formal media!
Staring with big eyes and talking nonsense!

Step on my good brother and output like crazy!

Jibao→_→: Just tell me whether the effect is good or not?
That's true, the effect is great.

As soon as the report was released, Fang Xinghe immediately returned to the center of the stage, and his popularity was several times higher than before.

If the popularity generated by Mengya having him on its cover for two consecutive months was 10, then the popularity when the two groups of gangsters confronted each other was 30, the popularity after Mr. Ba Jin published an article praising him reached 80, and the current popularity has reached at least 200.

On that day alone, more than 20 evening newspapers reprinted the article. According to rough statistics, the total circulation was at least two million copies, and the number of people reached was incalculable.

Those who supported the idea that "reading is useful" were encouraged and raised the Fang Xinghe banner to launch a general attack on the rebels.

This offensive reached its climax on the second day.

Zhao Chunhua finally released the first in-depth interview, which was the headline of the Beijing Youth Daily's social edition. The title shocked all parties and fans howled wildly.

I fought against fate

Once this article was published, it was like adding fuel to a fire, elevating Fang Xinghe from a mere top scorer in the high school entrance examination and a literary genius into a cultural phenomenon.

Then, through the two subsequent sequels, this image was further enriched and quickly swept the entire society.

For a time, paper was in such high demand that major newsstands across the country were frantically urging for more goods, printing more and more!
Before the interview was published, the circulation of Beijing Youth Daily remained stable between 60 and 65 copies, with little fluctuation.

The circulation rate remained at 4.69 people per copy, the highest among the capital's media.

Three days later, when the series of reports ended, the circulation soared to 110 million copies, surpassing the Capital Evening News for the first time and ranking third in the country.

At the same time, the circulation rate exceeded 6.12 people per copy, achieving dominance in the entire industry.

On the other hand, although Southern Weekend still maintains a circulation of 150 million and ranks second, those who strongly support Han Han have been beaten to a pulp in recent days. No matter how tough they are, they cannot hide the fact that their momentum has been suppressed.

The second report of Beijing Youth Daily, "There is No Reason for Studying", is relatively peaceful and they can still bear it.

By the time the third chapter, "The Uncertainty of the World, You and I Are Both Dark Horses," was released, it was really, and not an exaggeration at all, that the resistance collapsed completely.

At the end of the final chapter, Zhao Chunhua wrote:
"We don't usually associate such a grand proposition as fate with a child. If a teenager tried to talk to me about fate, I would want to laugh.

But at this moment, I can't laugh.

I was genuinely shocked.

It’s not because Fang Xinghe’s experience was so tragic. As a journalist, I have a high tolerance for tragedy itself. The experiences of many of my interviewees made me cry, but that was just sympathy, compassion, kindness and intolerance.

Only Fang Xinghe makes me feel ashamed of myself.

Ladies and gentlemen, how much imagination do we need to use to combine such completely opposite characteristics into one person: an orphan, a campus big brother, a person who fights every three days, the provincial top scorer in the high school entrance examination, a literary genius, a calm critic, a cruel teenager who swore to break his own father's legs, a focused small town test-taker, and so on?

If you accept his incredibleness, then fine, can you continue to accept his disdain for fate?
I couldn't quite accept it, I thought: How could you take it so lightly?

Sometimes a small thing can easily overwhelm me, making me irritable, angry, and even manic. I don’t think it’s because I’m too fragile. Many adults are like me and can be irritated by the disappointments in life at any time, making them feel stuffy in the chest and dizzy in the head.

But Fang Xinghe just downplayed it.

When he said "I fought with my destiny" in the most serious tone of the entire interview, I didn't feel that he was showing off at all.

He just used himself as an example to tell us adults: Don't be discouraged, don't be negative, and when something becomes a fait accompli, accept the part that cannot be changed, and then deal with the part that has not yet been resolved.

The outcome is uncertain, you and I are both dark horses.

Fang Xinghe finally summed up his attitude towards fate with this sentence, which finally convinced me.

I had to be convinced and accept it.

But I insist that this kind of thinking is not universal... So I said: 'Fang Xinghe, you are a special case, you have top talent that I have never seen before, so you can't use your standards to demand everyone.'

Guess how he answered?
He laughed, and finally a hint of wildness appeared on his face.

'Of course, I know that mental impotence is indeed difficult to cure, but if my stimulation can make them slightly hard - even just for a moment - after experiencing the benefits of hardness, they will miss this feeling, and a seed will be planted in the deepest part of their hearts. They will try every possible way and pursue it slowly, and maybe one day they will really be able to fight.

But at the end of the day, what does this have to do with me?
Some media want to impose on me a sense of compassion, but I'm sorry, I really don't have it.

I cursed, I felt good, that’s enough.

I don’t care if the consequences are bad in the end, and I won’t take credit for it if the consequences are good in the end.

So I will not use my standards to demand anyone, and I hope you can record it truthfully when reporting. Everything I say only represents my personal opinion.

I'm definitely the dark horse, as for you guys...Is it love?'

At the end of the interview, Fang Xinghe overturned all the reasons he had said. I was stunned and my mind was blank for a long time.

Back at the newspaper office, I reorganized the interview transcript, feeling anxious and confused.

After hesitating for a long time, I finally decided to waste some of my colleagues' time and start a special discussion.

Everyone was very active, from the editor-in-chief to the assistants, speaking freely while watching the interview video.

The core question is: What kind of person is Fang Xinghe as you see him through this interview?

The argument was so intense, but unfortunately, we failed to reach a consensus.

In the end, the editor-in-chief decided to put the dispute aside and leave the issue to the readers.

And just when I was submitting the manuscript, my thoughts suddenly became inexplicably broadened -

What kind of person do you think Fang Xinghe is? He may not be that person, but he certainly won’t care whether you think he is or not, so… love is not it.”

The ending left by Zhao Chunhua was awkward and meaningful, so what kind of person Fang Xinghe was quickly became a hot topic.

And below this interview, Beijing Youth Daily announced in bold black font size 2:

Tomorrow, we will publish Fang Xinghe’s latest article, "Small Town Test-Taker", in the literature section.

　A big chapter with a package style, all the love is in the words.
