Chapter 318 Thank you for your concern
Yan Fuguang and John went to "The Corden Show" and a few days later they recorded "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" with the director.
Although there are many activities during the promotion period, whether it is a talk show or a press conference, the questions about the movie are actually the same.
The biggest test is not whether the schedule is busy, but how to tell the same story with a different feeling.
Were there any interesting things during the shooting?
Were you afraid of being besieged by extreme fans at first?
What was going through your mind at the moment of the accident in Iceland?
Yan Fuguang answered almost every question more than three times, and the same was true for John.
You can't spoil the story, but you also have to tell the story vividly and interestingly, and show enthusiasm. The work during the promotion period is actually no easier than filming.
But Yan Fuguang encountered an interesting thing at the press conference.
The press conference itself was nothing special, but during a private interview, Yan Fuguang met a very cute little reporter.
She was indeed a young reporter. When Yan Fuguang saw her for the first time, he almost thought that this little girl was underage.
Although she is not very young, she has a mature temperament. On the day of the press conference, she wore a black suit with sharp lines. With her makeup and hairstyle, she looked more imposing than usual.
Kate worked for a small newspaper. Not long after she started working, the press conference for "The Edge of the World" was the first time in her life that she went out on the field.
Kate was already very nervous during the group interview because the editor-in-chief had told her before coming that she must get the opportunity to ask questions.
It is best to ask a shocking question, how to attract attention, these are the original words of the editor.
Kate is not an introverted and timid person, otherwise she would not have plunged into the journalism industry, but there are some things that you can only know what it feels like if you are really immersed in it.
The press conference of "Edge of the World" was not simply about setting up a few tables, sitting back, and answering a few irrelevant questions.
As soon as Walnut made his move, there was a red carpet, a banquet hall, and a sea of media in attendance. As soon as Kate entered the venue, she found that her little mental preparation beforehand collapsed in less than a minute.
Kate had done a lot of preparation work before coming. She had read all the promotional materials about "Edge of the World", including several talk shows the crew had performed and she had studied the Instagram live broadcast a few days ago.
She thought about several questions and thought it was pretty good. It might not be able to instantly ignite the audience as the editor said, but at least it was not conventional.
But when the press conference actually started, she realized that what she had prepared was not worth mentioning at all.
The organizer left enough time for the media to ask questions freely, and anyone who raised their hands would have the opportunity to be called on.
Kate was eager to give it a try at first, but she was unlucky and the microphone was never handed to her.
One, two, three, or four, as more and more people asked questions, her self-confidence was bitten to the ground.
Several questions that she had been thinking about were asked first, and even the eye-catching and eye-catching ones that the editor-in-chief dreamed of were achieved.
The microphone was passed to a man, who introduced himself as a reporter from "Closer".
The famous gossip magazine "Closer" was the first to expose the news about Yan Fuguang's injury.
Don't think that gossip magazines only take secret photos. Although their paparazzi team is indeed very strong, the influence of "Closer" is not small.
This male reporter lived up to his reputation as the trouble maker in his magazine, and he asked a very pointed question right from the start.
Although Hollywood is all about political correctness, this halo rarely shines on Asians.
No matter how extraordinary Yan Fuguang is in other fields, or how influential her parents are, it cannot change the fact that she is an Asian, and she is an Asian newcomer with no foundation in Hollywood.
What's more important is that Yan Fuguang is a Chinese.
She is a minority among minorities in Hollywood, but she is by no means a protected and rare animal. Instead, there are people who look at her with colored glasses all the time.
When William Page and Yan Fuguang were talking about casting, they said frankly that even if Yan Fuguang won the Fields Medal, and even if her parents were important in their respective fields, they wouldn't be able to give her much help.
If Yan Fuguang's goal is to become an Internet celebrity, this kind of family background will definitely be a top buff, but if he wants to be an actor, Hollywood will definitely let you see its conservative side.
This kind of implicit discrimination will definitely not be mentioned on the table, but some people will inevitably make a fuss about it.
Just like this reporter from "Closer", his questions were completely malicious.
"For the first time on the big screen, Ms. Yan participated in a Hollywood super-A-level production as a starring role. As far as I know, no Chinese actor has ever had such an opportunity. What do you think?
In addition, will you continue to develop here in the future? After all, there is a more developed film industry and a more complete industrial system here."
Before the first comma, it was normal, but from "as far as I know" it started to get weird, and then it became even more flattering and downtrodden. It was Chinese movies, and even the word "movie" could be removed.
Regardless of whether this person is naturally arrogant or does it deliberately, the purpose of attracting attention is achieved as soon as this question comes out.
Once the topicality is in place, the traffic will follow.
Everyone at the scene cheered up. If Yan Fuguang's response was inappropriate, the cameras and pens would pounce on her like sharks, chewing her up until nothing was left.
Kate looked at Yan Fuguang on the stage and sweated for her.
She actually quite likes Yan Fuguang.
After researching so much news about "Edge of the World" and reading a lot of information about Yan Fuguang, Yan Fuguang has the qualities she admires most - calmness and calmness.
Yan Fuguang has never been active as an actor in the United States before, but whether he is participating in programs, accepting interviews, or live broadcasts with the crew, he never seems unfamiliar or nervous at all.
From the outside, it is not obvious that Yan Fuguang is a humorous person, but she always makes the conversation relaxed and pleasant.
Even if it is a very authentic English joke or a very European and American customs, she can pick it up smoothly and easily.
Kate feels that this contrast between performance and identity is the most attractive thing about Yan Fuguang.
Kate's keenness as a reporter and her fondness for Yan Fuguang as an ordinary person made Kate both expectant and nervous about her answer.
Hundreds of people's eyes were focused in the same direction, but the face of the person under the spotlight did not change.
There was no anger or excitement. Yan Fuguang answered every question just like before, his voice was still pleasant and calm.
"It's an honor to work with Walnut this time, and it's been a pleasure working with Director Peggy, John and others.
The improvement of the film industry and industrial system cannot be separated from the accumulation of time, and Hollywood is what it is today through the efforts of countless people."
Although the flashing lights were very dazzling, Yan Fuguang's gaze landed precisely on the position of the "Closer" reporter.
"As for the future development direction, this is a two-way selection process between actors and producers, and the audience will also cast their vote."
Yan Fuguang suddenly laughed.
Chapter completed!
