Volume 2 Academic Career Chapter 777 Two Interviews
After the lecture, Yanda arranged a press conference as usual.
This press conference, like the last one, was attended by all the heavyweight media from various countries, or even more than that.
However, this time the media from various countries were relatively harmonious and did not ask any sharp questions.
The reason is easy to understand.
All the questions that should be asked were asked last time, and Chen Zhou also gave his own answers.
What they wanted to see and what they wanted to confirm, Chen Zhou also gave the most powerful response with two research papers on the BSD conjecture and the Riemann hypothesis.
If I ask any more pointed questions, it will feel like I am just seeking psychological comfort.
Instead of that, it is better to take some honest actions and see if we can stop Chen Zhou's influence and avoid the transfer of the world's mathematics center.
After the press conference, the person in charge of the report conference at Yanda University came to tell Chen Zhou that several media outlets wanted to interview him and ask for his opinion.
Chen Zhou briefly asked about the media outlets and finally chose two of his acquaintances, namely the Yenching Daily and Time Magazine.
After a little preparation, Chen Zhou came to the interview room.
The first person to come over was Yao Tongtong, a reporter from the Yenching Daily.
Although she had interviewed Chen Zhou many times, Yao Tongtong felt inexplicably nervous at the moment .
Chen Zhou used to be a student and a talented young mathematician, but now it is completely different. This young man has truly stood at the pinnacle of the mathematics world and is a true mathematics leader.
The change in her status and identity was the biggest cause of her nervousness.
Noticing Yao Tongtong's expression, Chen Zhou asked jokingly, "What's wrong, reporter Yao, don't you recognize me?"
Yao Tongtong quickly replied: "Academician Chen, please stop teasing me. There is no one in the world who doesn't know you. I just feel a little nervous when I face you."
Chen Zhou couldn't help but smile, thinking that this beautiful reporter had squatted in front of him many times before for interviews, so how could she be ?
So he said calmly: "It's okay, don't be nervous. We are old acquaintances. If you want to interview anything, just ask directly."
After hearing Chen Zhou's words, Yao Tongtong's nervousness eased a little.
Then the interview began.
Yao Tongtong's interview lasted half an hour, which was not too long, so she tried her best to pick out the most interesting issues.
Speaking of which, she did a lot of preparation for this interview, and she collected various questions from various sources.
There are also some questions that netizens are curious about, such as when will Academician Chen give birth to a baby boy, and whether Academician Chen has ever had his IQ measured...
Of course, Yao Tongtong could not ask these questions specifically to Chen Zhou. Instead, after the interview, she asked additional questions on behalf of the majority of stupid netizens.
In response, Chen Zhou did not show any impatience, but answered jokingly.
When Yao Tongtong walked out of the interview room, she was somewhat surprised to find that there were media from other countries waiting at the door.
She originally thought that the only exclusive interview Chen Zhou accepted was from the Yenching Daily, but she didn't expect there were others, and they were ranked first.
And the magazine ranked behind them is actually Time magazine!
At this moment, both Yao Tongtong and the photographer felt a sense of favoritism.
The original feeling that he was not as good as the other party suddenly disappeared. He walked past the reporter and photographer from Time magazine with his head held high and nodded politely as a greeting.
Delia was getting a little impatient waiting. She didn't know why they were ranked second, especially after learning that the local media in front of them was actually from Yanjing, she became even more annoyed.
But when Yao Tongtong and the others walked out of the room and walked past her with their heads held high, she seemed to understand why.
"Come on, go in."
After Yao Tongtong and the others walked some distance away, Delia came to her senses and quickly called the photographer into the interview room.
Delia was not nervous at all. As soon as she entered the room and saw Chen Zhou, she immediately smiled and said, "Professor Chen, long time no see. You made me wait so long."
"This is Yanda's arrangement. Now it's your turn, isn't it?" Chen Zhou smiled slightly and directly put the blame on Yanda.
Delia's smile remained unchanged: "Then let's start this interview?"
Chen Zhou nodded, and then Delia's interview began.
Unlike Yao Tongtong, the questions Delia asked were issues of general concern as well as issues they were concerned about.
Chen Zhou's answer was naturally different. Although he focused his speech on his own academic issues, he avoided the important issues that concerned them. He answered only those he could answer and avoided those he could not.
Delia also noticed this problem. She felt that the young man in front of her seemed to have become much more mature.
In addition, she also mentioned an issue that has been selectively ignored by everyone, that is, the research project of the "Kuafu" project.
On this issue, Chen Zhou spoke very frankly about his experiences during this period.
Things like he hardly ever goes to the lab and the researchers have only seen him twice. These are all facts anyway, so it doesn't hurt to tell Delia.
As for what information they can get from this, it depends on their own judgment.
Overall, the atmosphere of the entire interview was very good, at least that's what Chen Zhou thought.
After the interview, the photographer took a close-up photo of Chen Zhou, intending to use it as the cover of Time magazine.
By the way, Delia also told Chen Zhou that she had thought of the title this time, which was called "The Person Who Changed the Mathematics World".
After listening to this, Chen Zhou thought for a moment and said, "I think it would be better to change it to Chinese scientists who changed the world of mathematics."
Delia was stunned at first, then said that she would seriously consider Chen Zhou's suggestion.
When they were leaving , Delia naturally invited Chen Zhou to dinner.
At the same time, she said in a charming and slightly pitiful manner: "You have rejected me many times, are you going to reject me again?"
After taking a serious look at the beautiful reporter in front of him, Chen Zhou smiled shook his head. As expected, he rejected Delia's invitation again.
The reason is that Chinese New Year is coming soon and he has to go home to be with his parents and wife, and prepare for the New Year.
Looking at Chen Zhou's departing back, Delia stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do.
In fact, Chen Zhou did not go home immediately, but went to the dinner party of the lecture, which was considered to be a complete conclusion.
At this point, he completed his mathematics master's degree with a successful report.
However, regarding the study of mathematics, as he said, there are still many shells in the ocean.
…
The subsequent Spring Festival was naturally spent in a lively atmosphere.
Although I couldn't avoid the nagging and urging from Chen Jianguo and Zhang Hongying, because I was at home this year, the nagging didn't last too long.
A few days after the Chinese New Year, Chen Zhou returned to Yanjing with Yang Yiyi and Chen Xiao.
Yang Yiyi didn't stay in Yanjing for long and left again.
However, Yang Yiyi will be able to complete all her graduation projects in the first half of the year, and then return directly to China and be with Chen Zhou.
After Yang Yiyi left, Chen Zhou started his research life again.
And the grand unified theory of physics that he had been delaying for so long will finally get the answer...
