In front of Zhang Xiaoxian, she is exquisite and beautiful, and she speaks casually, and her wisdom is shining. She smiled when asked how she knew all these mysteries of human nature. "Everyone can learn."
It turns out that we are all ugly ducklings, and we all grow up in learning. Growth is a man's war. A person faces the unknown future, a person grasps the love that may be heartbreaking, and a person builds the brick of career. I never understood it for no reason, and only after the smoke did I really transform myself.
Fortunately, we have Xiaoxian, our "comrades-in-arms" and our comrades-in-arms. Her pen records the eternal war-growth. I like her story because it is our story.
Xiaoxian's own story is also a Qian Qian song.
Fairy vs Lucky: It is not easy to admit that you are lucky.
Zhang Xiaoxian is certainly lucky. There are so many screenwriters in Hong Kong, why is she a best-selling author? From the first book, Zhang Xiaoxian was described as a man with a "lucky" halo on his head.
There is indeed a coincidence factor. 1992, she was just a small screenwriter and accidentally wrote two articles. Unexpectedly, the editor of Ming Pao found her and said that a columnist had just gone skiing and asked Zhang Xiaoxian to write for her. Opportunities fall from the sky and columns are very popular. 1994, the book was published.
Is it "lucky" to let people understand the rapid development of a girl's writing career and relieve some people's secret jealousy? Zhang Xiaoxian felt wronged, why no one saw her efforts. Writing a column seems light, hundreds of words a day, and behind the leisurely appearance of words is always thinking and deliberation. Even when I go shopping and watch movies with my boyfriend, I don't forget to consider the content of tomorrow's column.
It turns out that saying that you are lucky is also a denial of your writing level. At first, Zhang Xiaoxian was very concerned. "I used to mind people saying I was lucky. But now I am willing to admit, because I am really lucky, many people write better than me, but there is no such opportunity, or because of my personality, I missed the opportunity and didn't take it well. It is not easy to admit that you are lucky. "
In 10, Zhang Xiaoxian learned to understand those impolite criticisms as jealousy, although at the beginning, the biggest setback she experienced was the criticism from the media. Many criticisms "are not directed at books, but at my people." Such as what dress to wear, appearance, and several signatures. "Zhang Xiaoxian refused to participate in such boring things as gossip, even though he paid more fame for it." He refused to be interviewed by Hong Kong media in recent years. Because if you haven't read my book, you are not qualified to criticize my work. "-her principles are sometimes so tough that there is no room for manoeuvre. But it is precisely because of this principle that people show their contours.
Fairy vs Amy: Pain and Happiness.
Amy is one of the best female magazines in Hong Kong. This magazine named after Zhang Xiaoxian's English name enriches her experience. The adjective she used was "hardship".
Such as indifference from subordinates. At the beginning of publication, although Zhang Xiaoxian was the editor-in-chief, the editors bullied her into never running a publication, and often ganged up against her creativity. That experience taught Zhang Xiaoxian to be patient and give up something. Many things start with their own changes. "I won't cry, I still have a way to deal with it." Later, the magazine invited many good colleagues and an excellent executive editor, who could perfectly implement many of Zhang Xiaoxian's ideas.
Making a magazine is a very emotional job, which is of great help to Zhang Xiaoxian's creation. She likes to do behind-the-scenes planning and gives ideas, such as who writes the column and what to do in each issue. The first person who asked Wu Junru to write a weight loss column was Zhang Xiaoxian. When other magazines followed suit and invited celebrities to write about losing weight, Zhang Xiaoxian began to have a new idea, found a psychologist to write about losing weight from an unexpected angle, and took care of this theme with some philosophical theories.
How to treat this proud job, Zhang Xiaoxian has an admirable height and calmness. Amy may have taken advantage of Zhang Xiaoxian's fame at first, but she thinks it is unhealthy for a magazine to rely on one person. "I hope readers buy Amy, not because of me, but because of Amy herself. If one day I stop editing and writing novels for it, Amy's sales will still be so good, and I think such Amy is successful. No magazine or newspaper can rely on one person. " This amazing self-examination and conceit attitude is the most admirable quality in Zhang Xiaoxian's publishing process.
Fairy vs media: professional sincerity-pay the bill yourself
Being in the fashion media and being a well-known writer is simply the most advantageous position, and everyone is vying for the role of pleasing. Good things worth hundreds of thousands are readily available as long as she mentions them in the article. But she said, "Even if I go to the movies, I will buy my own ticket. If this thing is good, I will pay for it myself. "
"A lot of people invited me to travel. Every day, I am invited to dinner and sent something, and I don't want it. It's not that I have anything to accept, it's my own style. I buy things because I really think things are good. I don't want to get benefits from others. As a columnist in Hong Kong, I have many opportunities to travel to Paris and Switzerland. I didn't take advantage of many public relations activities. I don't like this life. If so, I won't have time to write. I don't want to be a celebrity, I want to write. "
Independent thinking is the professional accomplishment of media and writers, but it is even more precious in this materialistic era.
Zhang Xiaoxian is sometimes unfair, which is her kindness. Her principle is "do no harm". Sometimes she will never describe the bad treatment in the restaurant. She thinks that maybe something happened to the waiter that day, and she should forgive others.
Fairy vs love: Love yourself anyway.
After writing so many love stories, I asked Xiaoxian if she had ever been in love with a bang.
"No, people who have a good private life have no time to write. They are writing about their less wonderful lives. " Since it is private, it is not convenient to ask more questions. Let's ask her wisdom. What is the most important thing for a girl to grow up?
Self-love. Love yourself no matter what.
Self-love will not be at the mercy of fate, self-love will not hurt and mourn itself, self-love will not indulge itself, and self-love will pursue something.
"Everyone has a process of growth. It doesn't matter what they have experienced. What matters is what lessons you have learned. If you make the same mistake, it's just that you don't love yourself. "
The ugly duckling loves himself, or he won't become a swan.
So, fairy, what is love?
"You are not an easy person, but when you meet someone, you will become a sheep in front of him. That is love. "
Love, of course, does not hinder the cause. Xiaoxian thinks that career is easier to master than love, and never give up career because of love. "A good man can tolerate your career and won't let you wander between love and career." Obviously, she is very experienced. "If you have a successful career, love will not be so nervous. When a man is all you have, that's bad. "
She knows that love can overcome all difficulties, but she also knows that after all difficulties, there are still all difficulties. Love is just one of many pursuits in life, but it takes us the most time. Therefore, in her works, love can sometimes be warm or desolate. Because love is a very important part of life, from the love story of Xiaoxian, we can see something called growth gradually emerging.
Zhang Xiaoxian, the growth recorder of love, our comrade-in-arms.
Fairy vs Writer: Don't think too much.
Of course, we should talk about novels, because she is a famous writer.
Have you ever thought that your work is so popular, whether it is a commodity or a work of art? This problem is a bit difficult, but it doesn't bother Zhang Xiaoxian.
"I don't think it is necessary to separate. Good things will be rewarded with elegance and popular taste. Popular works sell well, and literary works sell poorly, not necessarily. " A customer of a bank wants to attach Zhang Xiaoxian's latest novel when applying for a bank card, and asks if she mind. She doesn't think there is anything to mind. "If the poorest people and the richest people can read my books, and children and 70-year-olds can read my books, I think this is quite good. My job is not just for a few people. Good things can touch everyone's heart. Art is like this. "
Originally, she didn't want to run with calculation, so what she wrote was not utilitarian. Don't think too much, everyone who should come will come. 10 years, Zhang Xiaoxian's die-hard readers have been supporting her and paying attention to her progress. Among the readers who have been writing to her about their experiences, there are boys who became doctors after being admitted to medical school in the sixth grade, women in their 40 s and even elderly women. This is one of the motivations for Zhang Xiaoxian to continue writing, and it is also the reason why she doesn't repeat her past writing. She wants them to see her progress.
"I won't always write that style because a novel is popular. I feel bored. My column is invited every day and paid well. But in this case, it is actually very disrespectful to your career. There are also such writers in Hong Kong, who write many columns at once and make a lot of money at once, but soon there is nothing to write about. I think my vision should be long-term, if I really like writing. " This is probably why she keeps a low profile but still sells well.
Interview notes:
Zhang Xiaoxian didn't intend to be a bestseller, but if he did, he would become an excellent writer. Although she needs to consider the market, she has a bottom line. She pays for what she wants and never takes any so-called "advantage" of herself. We can all understand her story, and lofty is not the way. She would rather keep a low profile than give a low-quality interview. She knows when to lower her head and when to raise her head.
If you can get the order, buy it. It is a girl's right to pursue the beauty of nature, whether it is material or spiritual. Growth means constantly paying for fate, bearing what you can bear, and getting the pain and beauty that make you grow up.
