Chapter 390 Fire(1/2)
I feel very unhappy. Maybe I am a little sensitive now, so I particularly hate it when people ask me if I am a boy or a girl. I don’t know why people pay attention to my gender. But thinking about it, it may be that the TV station is deliberately trying to make things confusing.
, because the villagers she interviewed were not very familiar with me. It can be said that except for Sanlin, who had some dealings with me, she didn’t know anyone else at all. Besides, if others didn’t know, Fang Dapeng would definitely insist that I was a woman. It’s a shame.
Do you want to find the answer to whether I am a boy or a girl in the limited time of the show?
Thinking about it, I saw the female host knocking on the door of my cousin's house. My cousin opened the door happily, but I could tell that he was a little frightened and uncomfortable when he saw the camera, and he didn't let the female reporter in.
Instead, he asked directly at the door: "Are you okay?"
The female reporter was very polite. She looked at her cousin and said directly: "Hello, uncle, I heard that you are very familiar with Mr. Ma named Jiaolong, right? That's right. We want to get to know Mr. Ma through you.
.”
"Oh, I'm sorry, I won't accept interviews. Jiaolong specifically told me when she left that if the Fourth Aunt's matter was reported, she did not want her personal information to be revealed, because their profession is very special.
She doesn’t want people to pay too much attention to her in this way. She wants to keep a low profile. Girl, go pick someone else. I have other things to do and I’m closed.”
After saying that, my cousin's door also closed happily. This was unexpected, because when I was leaving, my cousin was a little unhappy when he heard Erli saying that he wanted to be interviewed. Plus, I did
I said hello to him, so what my cousin said in the camera was indeed my thoughts.
"Hey, uncle, uncle!!"
The female reporter shouted outside the door for a long time, then turned to look at the camera helplessly: "This uncle, who is called the third brother among the villagers, doesn't seem to want to talk more about this Jiaolong. The only regret about the program so far is that
We have never been able to meet this mysterious Mr. Ma. Although we couldn't reveal the real body of Ma Jiaolong in our show, some villagers also gave me some other clues when I came here. It is said that this person is called
Mr. Ma from Jiaolong is from Andong and is well-known in the local area. Although we don’t know where she learned these things, we believe that there are many strange people among the people. Of course, we also hope that one day we can meet this Mr. Ma face to face.
Learn more folk wonders from her mouth."
Then, the circle of shots I just saw was cut again. I waited for a while, and when I finished saying, "Explore, I will take you into folk wonders and real corpse fraud incidents," the camera actually
We went directly to the indoor broadcast room, where an old expert who seemed to have profound knowledge was sitting with a host. There was a sign under the old expert that said Doctor of Medicine. The rest of it was easy to understand without looking at it.
Yes, for this thing to be broadcast, it must be explained in some way, otherwise who the hell would dare to broadcast it. He took the remote control and immediately changed the channel for grandpa: "Grandpa, let's watch something else."
It seems that I have caught up with the story. I don’t know what was said earlier, but it doesn’t matter anymore. I was tired of hearing the word Jiaolong throughout the whole article. My grandpa looked at me and said, “Jiaolong, it’s
It's you, the charming dragon they are talking about is you, tall and pretty, so it must be you, you went to show people the corpse."
I smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't think so much. My name is so ordinary. It's just the same name. You can watch TV and watch some sketches. Don't watch this stuff."
Grandpa frowned slightly: "Didn't you go to work just now? Why are you back like this? Where is Zong Bao?"
"Oh, I'll come back to get something, and I'll go there later."
I responded and walked directly to the bedroom where my grandpa lived. Fortunately, my grandpa had not been feeling well for the past two days. I went home and made a bed on the floor. Otherwise, when I opened the rolling shutter door, the reporters would not be able to enter the store. I thought.
Then, I took out my mobile phone, dialed Fang Dapeng's number and put it to my ear. I had to ask clearly about this, was this just the surprise in his mouth? It almost didn't scare me!
"Hello……"
After waiting for a while, Fang Dapeng's sleepy voice came through the phone receiver: "Who is it?"
This guy must not have gotten out of bed yet. I stood up and walked directly to the window: "You answered the phone with your eyes closed. You didn't want to look at the caller ID."
"Jiaolong? Are you not Jiaolong?!"
"What do you think?" I was not angry: "What's going on with your program? That female reporter asked people in the village whether I was a boy or a girl. Is she interesting?"
"Ha ha."
Fang Dapeng actually laughed twice: "You saw our show, hey, let her find out, I haven't revealed a word about you, I'm just playing with mystery, you know it's a gimmick
Well, then I also thought about it. This thing cannot be exposed. Once it is exposed, there will be no freshness. Let everyone guess whether you are a boy or a girl and who you are. In this way, your appetite will be whetted.
No harm to you."
I was a little helpless, and suddenly I didn’t know what to say. Fang Dapeng did exactly what I said before, but I just felt that the female reporter’s various questions on TV about whether Jiaolong was a boy or a girl made me disgusted, or maybe I was special
I don’t care about this. I feel bad when I hear this. You don’t care if I am a boy or a girl!
"Why don't you talk? We have communicated with the family members and they agreed to be interviewed and we broadcast it. There is a process for this. However, this program is the fastest to be uploaded in my station. The previous ones
In order to cooperate with it, it was directly moved back. It was probably to rely on it to save the ratings. I originally wanted to call you last night to tell you, but it was too late to catch up on the manuscript, so I just fell asleep like this.
From the beginning to the end of the program, except for your photo that circulated on the Internet, nothing else was revealed about you. As a person involved in this incident, I will uphold everything about you and I will not kill you.
He said that the leaders in the station have nothing to do with me."
I took a deep breath and opened my mouth: "Fang Dapeng, is this the surprise in your mouth?"
"Of course not, Jiaolong, you believe me, I will help you realize your dream of becoming an awesome onmyoji, but I won't rely on this show. Just think of this show as a warm-up for you.
Just wait, nothing can stop you from moving towards success."
I was really helpless: "Fang Dapeng, I really thank you, you know, but there are some surprises that I really don't need. Do you know what my situation is now? My store is surrounded by reporters, and it is very affecting my personal life now."
, How am I going to run a business? Onmyoji is my profession, but that shop is the main source of my income. This is really annoying me now!"
The reasons for my resistance to the camera are very complicated. Firstly, I grew up in a rural area, and I am particularly unsuited to being surrounded by such 'long guns and short guns'. Secondly, although I sometimes look cheerful and outgoing, deep down I am definitely
I'm a conservative. I'm not a showy person, and I can't stand being chased by reporters. Although my dream is to be a great gentleman, I'm definitely not a gentleman like Sun Jiji. Even when I see Zhuo Jing being forced to give an interview, I feel a little for him.
I am helpless, not to mention myself. There are four most important words, that is, 'If you talk too much, you will make mistakes.' This is a taboo of Onmyoji!
To put it bluntly, my feelings are very complicated. In short, I don’t want to be interviewed, let alone talk about strange people and strange things in front of the camera. I am not a ghost story teller!
"Reporter? Where are you? Our reporters on the station found you so quickly?"
Fang Dapeng was also quite surprised by what I said: "It's impossible. Why didn't I receive the notice? We are indeed going to do an exploration program about Mr. Yin Yang among the folk, but I have made it clear to my colleagues that you definitely don't
I'm good at being on camera. Even if I want to negotiate with you, I won't go there so quickly."
"Aren't those reporters from your TV station?" I raised my eyebrows: "It seems that a few cameramen are wearing clothes and writing for some website..."
"Ah, then I understand. You may have been dug out. Your photo was too popular. You were already an internet celebrity before our program was broadcast. You know that? Plus, as soon as our program was broadcast, now
Information spreads so fast, Anton, can you guarantee that no one will go online? As long as an Anton person who knows you knows you online, or says he has bought something from your store, then these reporters will smell it.
I just went there. This is also my job. Jiaolong, you must understand that in this era, a photo can increase a person's popularity. It doesn't matter whether you are a celebrity or not, as long as you have business opportunities and selling points,
Then of course reporters will come to your door. This is the so-called economic effect, and you have to adapt to it."
I can adapt to my legs!
No wonder I received some orders from out of town in the past month and they all asked me on the phone if it was really Maggiore. I really didn’t take it seriously at first, because many of the customers were introduced by customers. Our store
The connection rate has always been very high, because I can guarantee that every customer will choose the curtains they want. I really wonder who introduced so many customers from other places. Now look at it, maybe it’s because of the photo on the Internet.
This is called bottoming out. It’s amazing. You can even get my phone number, but I still managed to do some business and make some money.
"Jiaolong, really, let me tell you the truth, you can actually be interviewed. This is also a means of self-marketing..."
"If I only owned a shop and was just a businessman, then I would accept interviews and be eager to promote my shop. But as an Onmyoji, I would not accept interviews. That would be very unserious. Do you understand?
I want to make money, but I can't make money through Onmyoji. These are the rules my grandma set for me when I entered the industry. It's even more impossible for me to use my name as Onmyoji to promote my store. That way
The motives are not pure..."
"Jiaolong, listen to me." I interrupted Fang Dapeng and he also interrupted me: "Although I understand what you are saying, that is the idea of a real successful hermit. People have marketed it."
After you go out, you already have a reputation, and you can be careless if you have some advantages. But you are different. You are not really famous yet. Hey, I don’t know how to say this. I have seen your stubbornness.
, but now is really the time when your reputation is most prosperous and best opened, Jiaolong, opportunities are not given to you all the time, I will help you, but you have to grasp it yourself."
I know what Fang Dapeng is afraid of, "Maybe as a media person, you know that some people's popularity is short-lived, so you think that if I can't grasp this attention, it will be a lost opportunity. Maybe you listened to my dream or something like that."
I really hope you can help me, but you have confused the concept. I am not an artist or star. I am different from them. In other words, even if she is a star, she has to rely on her strong works to speak for herself, gimmicks, and selling points. How long can it last? We
Onmyoji relies more on my ability. How far can I go just by winning the public's curiosity about me? This is really contrary to my original intention. I don't want everyone to view my profession as a entertainment, but
I hope it can really help some people, you understand."
My head hurts when I talk about it, I always feel like there is something wrong with the momentum, something is always wrong when I start like this.
"I understand, okay, I won't say anything more. I can't do anything about the reporters on the website, but I can do a good job in our TV station and explain to them your attitude of refusing the interview. But Jiaolong, you have to remember
Come on, this exposure will definitely do no harm to you."
I breathed out: "Forget it, no matter what, I thank you."
"Thank you for nothing. I didn't do anything. When I return to Anton, remember to treat me to dinner."
"Okay, I owe you a meal, remember."
I hung up the phone and bit my lip gently. I don't deny that this is a good thing, but I still feel a little arrogant. The kind of great gentleman I dream of is not like this. It can also be said that the great gentleman I want to be.
, he is the kind of master who is superior in terms of Taoism, cultivation, and experience, rather than an Onmyoji who comes into the public eye as an object of entertainment.
…
I thought that as long as I didn't show up, this matter would be over after ten days and a half, because people's curiosity can't last long, but what happened was far beyond my expectation, and my non-appearance was interpreted by the outside world.
It becomes more and more mysterious. As long as you click on my photo, you will see the messages from netizens, saying that I am a truly low-key folk expert. Many people even left messages and shouted that they would pay a lot of money to meet me.
I can give them fortune-telling in person, but of course, I don’t believe this, because the people who come to me for advice are usually not young people. People who really need it can’t find the mood to cry online.
First of all, my name has completely exploded in Andong County. In Andong, I am a more famous star than the county magistrate. Of course, because I have been misunderstood as a man by a large number of girls before, I have a website
When I interviewed girls who had met me, they praised me without hesitation, saying how handsome I am and how modest and gentle I am, and how nice I am!
The girl who may have secretly photographed me in my store also posted the photo online with the title "Ma Jiaolong's True Body", which caused a sensation again. I inexplicably gained a large number of fans, and was known as the most handsome Onmyoji.
The commenters were all crying and shouting that they wanted to marry me, which made me want to cry. Some male netizens even said sourly under my photo, "I look so effeminate, my name is effeminate, I look like I'm gay, so
