"Good morning for everyone! I am Feng Zhongping. Thank you very much for listening to the interview program I brought to you. This time, I will have in-depth exchanges with you. Ai Feijun, who just won the first prize in the detective novel at the first Million-People Novel Awards. Thank you and welcome you."

Ai Fei sat in the studio surrounded by huge glass windows, covering his ears with his ears, smiling and putting his mouth close to the microphone hanging in the air: "Good morning everyone. I am Ai Fei. I am honored to receive an invitation from Songzhu Radio to share with you my works."

"Then... it's rude. Our interview begins now." Feng Zhongping's voice Ai Fei had also heard of it on the radio station. It was full of male magnetism, but seeing him was a little disappointed: he had a bunch of mustaches that were commonly seen in movies, a short figure, and a little circle when walking. No matter how you look at it, you can only describe it as a person or a person, right? Who can believe that it is such a guy. In the era when there was no TV, he actually had 4 million listeners?

"Ah, of course, of course."

"First of all, to me, Ai Jun's name seems strange. Is this really your real name? Or a pseudonym?"

"It's indeed my name, not a pseudonym." Ai Fei said slowly: "I originally wanted to give myself a pseudonym, but I even thought about it, so I called it Shuida II. Later I thought that such a name would make people feel annoying and boring: Maybe all the judges would think, who would give me such an annoying name? Because of this reason, I finally gave up."

"Shuida Phase II?" Feng Zhongping suppressed his smile and repeated: "Yes, it is indeed a very boring name. But Ai Fei's name is better. At least it will give the judges a preconceived impression, thinking that people with such a pseudonym would be an interesting person, right?"

Ai Fei nodded: "Facts have proved that such a result is still more acceptable, isn't it?"

"So, the next question, many people have seen the story of "Points and Lines" through published books. Well, I even bought one."

"Is that true?" Ai Fei deliberately exaggeratedly and glared: "Thank you so much."

"For the interviewee, in addition to his personal experience, his works must also enter the host's attention. Isn't this what it should be?" Feng Zhongping joked: "In such a novel with less than 80,000 words, Ai Jun depicts a world for us through his own pen that no one has ever noticed. How did you think of it?"

"Nothing is wrong. It's just an accidental opportunity. One of my neighbors often takes trains because of work and is very familiar with train schedules. I often chat with him and began to become interested in the schedule. When I happened to encounter the novel awards, I took the liberty to write a novel and sent it to me. The next thing is what everyone knows."

"When I admire your "Points and Lines", I am impressed by your wonderful ideas and thinking about a question. Will someone really commit crimes according to the timetable in the book?"

Ai Fei suddenly broke his eyes and smiled: "Even if there is such a case, do you think there are no readers of "Points and Lines" in the Metropolitan Police Department?"

With a word, even the staff outside the glass window smiled at it.

A joke, Ai Fei curled his smile: "In fact, this is just a fiction of the work. In real life, it is impossible for trains to act completely according to the schedule. It does not include the time limit for short flights and crossing the sea passenger ships. Therefore, it can be said with certainty that it is theoretically impossible to commit crimes according to the schedule of this book."

"After listening to the words of the author of "Points and Lines", I believe that those who want to commit crimes according to the time of the book will dispel this ridiculous idea?" Feng Zhongping also said jokingly: "So, Ai Jun, do you think as a writer, of course, many people know that in addition to writing novels, you are also creating comics. No matter which type of writer, which factor is the most important thing for the success of your work?"

"There are many specific reasons. In my opinion, the most important thing is that you cannot lack imagination. The readers' requirements for the stories you want to see, or the content of the comics are very simple, but they only require a brief psychological relaxation in this difficult period. The writer's task is to meet the readers' needs. If you can do this, your success will not be difficult."

"Does Ai Feijun think that the writer's task is to bring happiness and relaxation to readers?"

"I know that many people's thoughts are to provide strength for the change of society through their own pens. But believe me, this is only the need of a few people. More people do not have such profound requirements. They just need a simple happiness! The Nobel Prize in Literature has always been a reading material for a few people, which is the reason for this."

Such a theory that almost everyone knows about later generations, but it was extremely explosive when it appeared in 1950 in advance. Even Feng Zhongping fell into a long test. After a long time, the studio became silent, all digesting his theory: "Uh... I'm sorry, I'm rude. If you follow Ai Feijun's theory, then as a writer, can you just be happy for happiness without considering the social nature of his works?"

"For some historical reasons, Japan is now experiencing the most difficult period in history. During this period, such works that can create happiness for the people are very needed. As for when will deeper works appear, I'm sorry, that's not a question that I can answer."

Seeing that he was not interested in talking about this issue, Feng Zhongping also chose to change this slightly heavy topic in time: "Did the winning of "Points and Lines" bring great changes to Ai Feijun's life?"

"This is for sure." Ai Fei nodded: "I don't want to lie. I just want to win the economic benefits I may get after winning the award, but I didn't expect there would be so many follow-up events: First of all, the publication and distribution of "Points and Lines" requires my participation, not specific work, but to discuss with Toshiki Nishimura and others from Kakugawa Library. I have to read the numbers of remuneration, cover design, and print quantity. This is not counting. Even the Tokyo Railway Bureau sent a special person to discuss with me and invite me to take a long-distance trip according to the itinerary in the book, which is of course free, but all I have to do is answer the reporter's interview on the train."

"Hey? Did the Tokyo Railway Bureau send someone to contact Ai Feijun?"

"Maybe it is to increase the influence of railways in the lives of the people, right? According to Mr. Sanjo who visited, since the publication of "Points and Lines", even the sales of train schedules have begun to improve!"

"Is there such a thing?" Feng Zhongping covered his mouth with his hands and smiled: "Can you share with you the matter about Ai Feijun?"

"It's probably that. Oh, there's another thing. Dongzhu's story is very popular in terms of "Points and Lines". They hope to bring this video to the screen."

"That is, it's true that it's filmed like this?"

"Yes."

"Then, Ai Feijun must agree?"

"I agreed initially. However, the specific details are still under discussion. If there is further development, I will notify you."
