The longed-for village system

Chapter 359 Exclusive Interview
"Then you young people go ahead and get busy, this old man will go back to his room to rest."

Grandpa Long didn't stay there any longer but gave them space, so they could also go back to their rooms for a midday rest.

The staff here are busy debugging the equipment, while Dong Qing is contacting the TV station to prepare for the upcoming live broadcast, since all aspects of the live broadcast need to be coordinated.

Of course, after receiving Dong Qing's call, the head of the official media station immediately opened a green channel without saying a word. With Chen Qing's current momentum, how many TV stations are begging him to do an exclusive interview! Even their official media have to be careful to serve him, because he has connections at higher levels now, and these are people he can't afford to offend.

"Alright, we'll start recording once our equipment is set up."

The sun doesn't set until eight or nine o'clock at night here, so they weren't worried about lighting at all. Not having to set up these devices saved them a lot of time. Soon the camera was in position and filming began. Of course, the group had already taken their seats under the shed.

The happiest people right now are none other than Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu's fans. They just left Zhao Xiaogu's live stream and didn't expect that the official media's live stream would open, and the interviewee was their idol. It's like a TV drama is about to unfold!

Major TV stations: Damn it, the state media beat us to it again! This great opportunity for high ratings is gone just like that. We were so close, so close, for our TV reporters to arrive.

The major television stations secretly regretted their decision upon seeing the live broadcast. They had received news that Chen Qing had flown back to the village and had already sent a team of reporters to Manyuan Village that morning, but the official media had beaten them to it.

Of course, among these TV stations, Hunan TV is the one that hates them the most. Originally, given their relationship with Chen Qing, their station had the best chance to do an exclusive interview. Now, they can only consider the second place, which will have a huge impact on their ratings. But what can they say when the first one is an official media outlet? They can only swallow their anger.

They were unaware of these things. After seeing the director's gesture, Dong Qing officially began the interview.

"Hello everyone, this is the official media live broadcast room 'Behind the Scenes of People'. In this episode, we interviewed my younger brother and sister-in-law, who are also everyone's favorite guests, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu. Please say hello to our live broadcast audience!"

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Qing."

"Hello everyone, I am Zhao Xiaogu."

Despite the brief greeting from the two, the audience remained incredibly enthusiastic, with the number of comments in the live stream instantly exceeding six figures. The sheer popularity of the event astonished the station managers.

It seems that forcing Dong Qing to go was the right decision. The ratings are the best response. It's a pity that the interview time was changed to the evening, which would have been perfect. At that time, the number of people watching online after get off work would be even higher, and it might even have broken a record.

What a pity, what a pity.

"We previously collected some of the most frequently asked questions about you two online. Could you please answer them? The first question is for Xiao Chen: As a songwriter who is often referred to as a prodigy, are you ever worried that you won't be able to write songs one day?"

"will not."

This was a very sensitive question, and Dong Qing was prepared to wait, but Chen Qing answered without hesitation, and with such a decisive answer. The viewers in the live stream were equally surprised by Chen Qing's response; it was so straightforward and efficient, requiring no thought whatsoever.

"Why? Isn't this what creative musicians fear most?" Dong Qing asked Chen Qing with a puzzled expression.

In response to Dong Qing's question, Chen Qing replied with a smile, "This is related to my origin or purpose. The origin and purpose of my song creation is to express my emotions, or to have fun, not to make a living. If I don't have inspiration one day and can't write anything, then I won't write anymore."

After Chen Qing said that, everyone really thought it made sense. Other people sing to earn money to support their families, and they would naturally worry if they couldn't write songs or if their performance was not good. But Chen Qing started singing just for fun. Since it was for fun, he naturally didn't have such concerns. If he couldn't write songs, he would just stop writing them.

With his abilities, let alone not writing songs, he could lie there doing nothing and still have money coming his way; his only fear is having too much money to spend.

"That's true. With your abilities, you really don't need to worry about this. And with your talent, I don't think you need to worry about such a thing happening. After all, you are considered a prodigy by everyone."

Dong Qing nodded in agreement with Chen Qing's answer, and also expressed her opinion of Chen Qing, not believing that Chen Qing would have a lack of inspiration in the short term.

If you only focus on writing love songs, or specialize in a particular area, you might experience a period of having no songs to write. But Chen Qing can write songs of all styles. If he lacks inspiration for love songs, he can write inspirational songs. If he lacks inspiration for inspirational songs, he can write revolutionary songs. He has too many choices to make.

One road might be blocked, but it's impossible for all roads to be blocked.

"You flatter me. It's probably because I treat songwriting and singing as hobbies without any pressure that I feel more relaxed when I'm creating. After all, a hobby and a livelihood are different."

Chen Qing continued to maintain his humility. He couldn't help it; he had already borrowed the masterpieces of those talented people from his previous life and labeled them as original works. He didn't have the face to continue to boast.

However, Chen Qing's answer won the favor of many musicians. Look, truly talented people speak differently. They are clearly more talented than them, but they are not arrogant. They even gave them a graceful way to save face.

The reason I can't write songs isn't because I lack talent, but because my inspiration has been squeezed out by the pressure of making a living. If I had also made songwriting a hobby and interest, I would definitely be quite famous, even if I didn't reach Chen Qing's level.

"Okay, the next question is from the audience for Xiao Gu. In a previous episode, Xiao Chen said that if you don't want to have any more children after giving birth, he won't force you. Xiao Gu, do you have similar thoughts now? Giving birth is a very important task for women, especially female celebrities."

Zhao Xiaogu really didn't know about this. She was on the show at the time and happened to be back in her room when she didn't hear Chen Qing say those words. When Dong Qing asked her about it, she turned her gaze to Chen Qing, her beautiful eyes filled with inquiry and doubt.

Weren't we planning to have two children? How come we suddenly only want one? Doesn't that mean my wonderful wish has been dashed?
"No, one child isn't enough. We need at least two! One child is too lonely. Two children will keep each other company."

Zhao Xiaogu was quite insistent on this matter. Although childbirth must be very painful, she would definitely not agree to only have one child with Chen Qing. She felt that two was not enough, otherwise it would be a waste of Chen Qing's perfect genes.
