"A Queen of the Sun who can pass on souls and control storms, and her army of storm warriors who have lived for hundreds of years? This sounds like a good story for making a movie, but it's not a rigorous research paper..."

After some persuasion from Lu Qi, Laura gave up the idea of ​​writing all the things she saw in Yamatai on the topic.

Looking at the densely packed words in the file, Laura pressed the delete key on the keyboard with a bit of regret, and directly deleted all the comments in this part...

Chapter 324 Little gangster: I TM thank you!

It is not that simple to discover an ancient ruin and let the world recognize its existence.

First of all, it is necessary to collect information and evidence related to the ruins, then write a research paper, and submit it to the International Archaeological Association together with the objects found in the ruins.

After passing the strict review, the Archaeological Association will send a research team to the ruins for confirmation.

After confirmation, the newly discovered ancient ruins will be officially announced to the outside world.

The whole process will take at least two to three months.

This is what Laura and Lu Qi will focus on completing in the next period of time.

As the discoverers of the ruins, the division of labor between Lu Qi and Laura is very clear.Laura is responsible for the professional work of sorting out materials and writing theories; Lu Qi is responsible for running errands and doing odd jobs, and after the thesis is completed, submit the relevant relic materials to the Archaeological Association.

Lu Qi also took care of other affairs that required publicity.

Laura has no sympathy for the media that ruined her father's reputation...

. . .

Just as Laura and Lu Qi were sorting out the materials and writing the discussion together, the outside world's discussion on the Perseverance incident did not diminish in the slightest.

Laura did not accept interviews personally, and other crew members were unwilling to face the camera and talk about what happened on the island, so that the public became more and more curious about what happened to the Endurance.

They really wanted to know how the Endurance, which broke into the Sea of ​​Devils, escaped from the sea of ​​death...

In order to obtain first-hand news, major newspapers and magazines, as well as the media, have dispatched their reporters to collect information.

The paparazzi who were rewarded with bonuses seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and their combat effectiveness doubled.

Soon, the paparazzi who were squatting outside the apartment found that Laura had not returned to the apartment, and immediately shifted their positions, and came to the Crawford Manor in Surrey to lay an ambush.

Although they couldn't enter the manor, just staying outside allowed them to take photos of Lu Qi and Laura going in and out together!

Although there were no intimate photos of the two holding hands or kissing, the two talked and laughed happily, and they looked like a couple with a good relationship.

In the eyes of the paparazzi who only see breaking news, this is breaking news that can be capitalized and close-up!

The paparazzi belonging to different media immediately sent back the photos and began to develop rich imagination,

On the other side, Lu Qi and Laura knew nothing about it...

. . .

Before going to sea, he spent all his savings, so that Lu Qi, who had just returned not long ago, encountered the embarrassing situation of having no money to pay the rent.

Although the landlord gave him a grace period of one week, he also felt a little annoyed for a while.

It's not that he can't get money, it's just that there are too many ways to get money.

Originally, he planned to take the antiques he brought back from Yamatai to Christie's auction house for auction.

However, after learning about the auction regulations for artworks, he abandoned the idea.

Antiques without certificates or certificates are generally considered to be of unknown origin. Auction houses rarely accept such things, and even if they do, it is difficult to fetch a high price.

In other words, in order to maximize profits, the antiques he brought back from the island cannot be sold for the time being before the Yamatai ruins are made public.

Just when Lu Qi was wondering whether he should return to his old job for a while, go to the gangsters or gang members to chat about life, and make some money to spend by the way, a phone call changed his mind:

"Hello, is this Lu Qi, Mr. Lu?"

"I am, who are you?"

"Hello, Mr. Lu, I'm the producer of ITV's Spotlight, my name is Steve Josie..."

Hearing the other party's self-report, Lu Qi couldn't help but raise his brows, and there was a wave of turmoil in his heart.

ITV is the abbreviation of British Independent Television.

As the second largest wireless TV operator in the UK, ITV has produced many programs that are very popular with the mainstream public. Downton Abbey Mr. Bean is its classic program.

No need to ask, the people from ITV must have called to ask him about the Endurance.

"Is there a problem?"

"That's right, we want to invite you to the show to talk about the Endurance and your experience in the waters of the Dragon Triangle. I don't know if you are free tomorrow..."

Hearing the intention of the other party, Lu Qi wanted to refuse directly, but suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he immediately changed his words:

"Talk show, sounds good. However, I'm a little busy recently, I don't know if I'm free tomorrow..."

Hearing that Lu Qi's attitude was not as resolute as others, the producer on the other side of the phone couldn't help stepping up his efforts, persuading him earnestly:

"Mr. Lu, I understand that none of you are willing to accept interviews or talk about what happened. But don't worry, our show is very serious and we will never ask too many personal questions."

"The public is very interested in everything you have encountered. You can use our program to let everyone know the true story of the Endurance. In this way, some shameless media will not write indiscriminately. Daily life is also a kind of help, don't you think?"

"That sounds good, but I'm looking for a job soon..."

Hearing this, the sophisticated producer immediately understood Lu Qi's hint:

"Don't worry, the recording of the program won't delay you for too long, and the guests who participated in the program will receive an announcement fee of [-] pounds as compensation..."

Before the other party finished speaking, Lu Qi immediately agreed:

"Okay then, what time is it tomorrow, where is it?"

Faced with a 180-degree change in Lu Qi's attitude, the producer couldn't help being stunned for a moment before reacting:

"Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, ITV TV station headquarters building, when you arrive, someone will pick you up."

"Ok, see you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qi casually threw the phone on the sofa and sat down.

A thousand pounds would not only allow him to pay two months' rent, but also guarantee his daily expenses.

In the last show, you can get [-] pounds for blowing water. Where can you find such a good thing?

Besides, other people didn't want to mention those things, but he didn't have any psychological burden at all.

For him, these things have nothing to hide.

Thinking of this, Lu Qi, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help saying to himself with a little regret:

"It's a pity, I wanted to chat with the neighbors on the street about the weather... I have no choice but to go next time..."

Neighborhood gangsters: I TM thank you!

. . .

That night, Lu Qi did not forget to call Laura and report to her:

"Laura, I'm going to the TV station to do something tomorrow, so I won't come to the manor."

"TV station? Where are you doing?"

"ITV asked me to participate in a talk show, and I said yes..."

Chapter 325 The real person is more handsome than the photo

"The most mysterious sea area in the world, the Dragon Triangle Sea area known as the "Devil Sea", has never been able to survive ships from it, but an expedition ship named Endurance has achieved an unprecedented feat! Come down, let us welcome tonight's interview guest, the young crew member of the Endurance, Lu Qi!!!"

Under the welcome speech of the male host, Lu Qi, dressed in a black suit, came out from behind the curtain.

With a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and a gentle smile, Lu Qi aroused cheers from the female audience as soon as he appeared on the stage.

After shaking hands with the male host, Lu Qi sat on a sofa, face to face with the host, and started the interview.

Focus Interview is a popular program of ITV. The purpose of the program is to focus on the most concerned social topics at the moment. The invited guests range from royal family members, government officials to ordinary people, covering multiple industries.

Although each program is only 25 minutes long, the program flow is short and concise, especially the host style of the male host, which is serious but humorous, and is deeply loved by the public.

The flow of the show is also very simple, mainly the male host asks some questions that the public is more interested in, and the guests answer them.

The questions asked to Lu Qi were naturally all about the Endurance.

And Lu Qi, as a party involved, responded one by one:

"The purpose of Endurance going out to sea is archaeological exploration, in order to find the legendary lost kingdom, Yamatai..."

"After entering the waters of the Dragon Triangle, we soon encountered a violent storm. I remember that at that time, the entire Endurance was ravaged by the wind and rain, and two parts were disconnected..."

"We came to a strange island, the sun logo is painted everywhere on the island, and there are very old buildings..."

In the program, Lu Qi vividly described the experience of the shipwreck of the Perseverance and then boarding the ruins of Yamatai.

Not only the host, but even the audience at the scene were fascinated.

Although they knew about the event that the Endurance survived by luck in the waters of the Dragon Triangle, there was a lot of commotion.However, I didn't expect that there was a moving story behind it.

The ancient ruins that have been forgotten in the long stream of time are actually in the sea of ​​death where no one survives!

At the end of the show, the male host did not forget to ask about the relationship between Lu Qi and Laura, and even took out a photo that was published on the cover of a gossip magazine, which aroused booing from the audience.

Who doesn't like gossip between beautiful women and handsome men?

Looking at the picture of himself and Laura walking side by side, talking and laughing happily, Lu Qi was taken aback for a moment, then rolled his eyes, and said in an imaginative tone:

"I can only say that we are very good friends..."

Such an answer left room for the imagination of the male host and all the audience watching the show.

"Okay, let's give tonight's guest, Mr. Lu Qi, another round of applause."

As the music at the end of the show sounded, this focus interview came to an end...

Accompanied by the sound of "beep", the TV screen, which was still broadcasting advertisements, suddenly turned into darkness with a "swish".

Throwing the remote control on the sofa casually, Laura turned to look at Lu Qi who was sitting on another sofa, and said with great interest:

"You look handsome on camera..."

"Thank you for the compliment, I am more handsome in real life than in the photo..."

Hearing such a shameless answer, Laura just frowned slightly, without any change on her face.

As the relationship between the two got better and better, Laura gradually discovered that Lu Qi was actually a very boring guy.

Especially in front of acquaintances, he is very fond of joking and often boasting about himself.

However, Laura doesn't hate this kind of Lu Qi...

Picking up a sofa cushion casually and throwing it at Lu Qi, Laura immediately asked her inner doubts:

"However, I still can't figure it out, why do you want to be on the show and tell all these things?"

After catching the cushion and putting it on his waist, Lu Qi stretched comfortably, and immediately responded;

"Curiosity is a very scary thing. Since they want to know our story so much, we don't need to hide it and tell them proactively, so that they will give up the idea of ​​continuing to spy."

"Besides, it's much better for me to be the target alone than for everyone else to be harassed by these media all day long, isn't it?"

Hearing Lu Qi's explanation, Laura nodded with a vague understanding:

"Sounds reasonable..."

However, Laura never imagined that Lu Qi did this in the first place just to get the urgent one thousand pounds...

. . .

The wind direction of public opinion is slowly changing.

As the only crew member who has publicly appeared and spoken since the Endurance incident, Lu Qi's TV debut quickly attracted the attention of the public.

Most of the people are very interested in the "Yamatai Ruins" he said; the rest are more concerned about the relationship between Lu Qi and Laura.

Any shipwrecks or ancient ruins are too far away from the general public.

A pair of handsome men and beautiful women, when they are in trouble, the flower of love quietly blooms. This kind of romantic plot is the favorite drama of the people who eat melons!

The gossip magazine, also for the sake of sales, did not hesitate to send more paparazzi, squatting outside the Crawford Manor, trying to take more intimate photos of the two.

Lu Qi's appearance attracted the attention of the media to him, and also allowed the other crew members who were harassed by paparazzi to return to a peaceful life.

After focusing on the interview, Lu Qi received calls from TV programs and magazines one after another, some invited him to be on the program, and some wanted to interview him.
