Make adequate preparations before the interview. Understand the background, experience, industry background knowledge, and the position of the characters. In addition to understanding the information of the characters themselves, we can also objectively understand the characters from the side through others. Through adequate preparation, find a suitable starting point for interviewing people. Finding the right starting point can not only arouse the interest of the interviewee, but also lay the foundation for writing a good article.
Great men write small things, while small men write big things.
The most important thing in an interview is to communicate with the interviewer and learn to talk from an equal perspective, which shows the importance of full preparation. Knowing enough background information, industry information and people information, meeting and talking is like meeting a familiar person, without too much curiosity and worship. Journalists should keep common sense and dig deep, but there must be no bottom line. Some interviewees have pain that can't be expressed, so they should be bypassed reasonably and skillfully from the perspective of human kindness. Some interviewees are very talkative, so the reporter had to interrupt him and pull him back to the topic. Some interviewees are taciturn. Journalists should learn to open their own chatterboxes, find the topics that the interviewee is willing to talk about, the topics that they are concerned about, return to empathy again, put themselves in his shoes and think from his point of view, and naturally find the breakthrough point and topic.
You can stand tall when you meet big people, and stand low when you meet small people. Journalists should have the ability to stretch freely. You can stand at the same height as big shots and small people, and you will naturally have empathy.
In the post-interview writing, the more interviews, the better, and the more accurate the writing. When writing, we should also find a good starting point and have a unique starting point, so as to arouse readers' interest. Write an outline, determine several points to be written, determine the subheadings, and complete the writing content under each subheading with roughly the same length.
The topic is a very important point. A good title will make the article stand at a different height. Including every subtitle in the article, we should start from the heart.
Before interviewing a person, you will definitely see a lot of articles about this person, which can be used as your preparation before the interview and get enough information, but you should find your own breakthrough point and focus in the interview and writing. I remember an interview with a well-known person in the industry. He has been interviewed many times, and he is not very good at expressing himself in interviews, which is related to his own personality. I didn't get much content in that interview, but when I came back to write, it was a little difficult to cut in and determine the title when writing an article. Later, I wrote this article, the title and starting point are very different. The interviewee likes my interview very much, and he often takes it out in his future work promotion.
Through interviews with people, it is time for us to enrich ourselves while understanding the background information. In the interview, it is time to experience yourself by entering the link of directly facing people. At this time, there should be some psychology, sociology, communication art and so on. When writing, you should exercise your ability to stand on a high ground and take charge of the overall situation while controlling the overall situation of an article. The so-called subtleties see the truth.
Enhance the article with height and enrich the article with smallness.
Finally, refer to some magazines and books interviewed by people. For example, People's Weekly. Another example is that some people interview programs to see how they communicate with others.
When we look at a person, a book or a program, most of us first look at it from the perspective of our habits. For example, we watched a date between Lu and Yu, and most people may watch it, but we should use it as a teaching material to see how she communicated with the interviewee and what skills she had.
Through interviews with people, I also concluded that apart from their different characteristics, those different people have one thing in common, that is, passion, infinite enthusiasm for their careers and things they like, persistence, and consistent death. In the long run, passion and persistence will make a different person.
