Chapter 549 Live Interview (4,000 Words Updated!)

It's still dark.

Lu Yanhe came out of the hotel door sleepily wearing a coat and got into the car.

Compared with Yuming, the winter in Los Angeles can be described as warm as spring.

With an average temperature of 10-20℃, it’s not too cold here.

However, at this point, the short distance between Lu Yanhe coming out of the hotel and getting on the bus still made him feel chilly, and he didn't know if he got up too early.

Wang Biao handed him a thermos pot and said, "Brother Lu, have some soup. Wan Qingqing stewed it herself."

"You greeted me very well." Lu Yanhe said.

"You are our bread and butter. If we don't treat you well, we will be embarrassed." Wang Biao smiled playfully, "To be precise, if we don't treat you well, how can we be embarrassed to ask you for your year-end bonus at the end of the year?" ”

"Oh, tsk, tsk, I was just about to say that the relationship between people is so pure, but it turned out to be a conspiracy." Chen Ziyan also smiled.

Lu Yanhe yawned, unscrewed the bottle cap, took two sips of the steaming soup, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"What kind of soup is this? It's so fresh."

"I don't know. You have to ask Wan Qingqing."

Wan Qingqing was not in the car. She drove a car and followed behind.

Chen Ziyan: "The interview you are going to have is a live broadcast, because it is not a program that specializes in character interviews. They are essentially a news program. There is no need to go into too much detail about some things. This is actually a promotion for "Friends". Of course , you can also mention "The Mist" by the way, but don't say too much, Maxine will be dissatisfied, Maxine helped you contact this show."

"Understood." Lu Yanhe nodded, "You can't sell the rice of the West with the employer's rice bowl."

"After recording the show at eight o'clock, we have to leave, try on clothes, and then return to the hotel to take photos. Before leaving for the premiere, there will be two live interviews and one video interview." Chen Ziyan quickly gave Lu Yanhe today's itinerary He said again, "After the premiere in the afternoon, there will be two interviews and a media reception."

"Sounds like today is going to be a spinning top day."

"That's right." Chen Ziyan nodded, "But it's okay. After we finish shooting for the magazine tomorrow, we can leave for home. You can have a good sleep on the plane."

"It sounds too miserable. I have to sleep on the plane to make up for my rest." Lu Yanhe laughed.

Chen Ziyan: "Contented."

Lu Yanhe: "The next step is really busy, especially at the end of January and the beginning of February."

"By the way, there was news from the Spring Festival Gala last night. They chose the song "Chinese", but they also liked the song "Love" and asked if they could sing it to others."

"No, this song is just for the three of us." Lu Yanhe refused without hesitation, "This song will not be used in the Spring Festival Gala this time. We can sing it at another venue."

"OK, then I'll reply to them."

Lu Yanhe sent the news to the three people.

Li Zhibai posted a "beating gongs and drums" emoticon.

Yan Liang asked: What time is it over there?

Lu Yanhe: It’s around five o’clock in the morning.

Yan Liang: It’s so early.

Lu Yanhe took a picture of the sky: it was still dark and it was not even bright yet.

Yan Liang: Come on! -

CBN's morning news column, the chief anchor is named Katherine Murray, who is very well-known in the United States, but basically no one knows him outside the United States.

However, Katherine Murray is obviously different from movie stars. He does not need markets outside the United States. What he reports is American news.

Although the morning news column also contains some serious political news, it is mainly targeted at families and contains a lot of content related to life and entertainment.

After Lu Yanhe arrived at CBN, he was guided into the guest lounge.

The host lounge is right next to it.

Keyser Murray's name was written on it, and the door was closed.

After a while, the director of the show came over to ask him questions that would be asked on the show later.

They won't write you the specific questions directly, but they will tell you in advance what topics they will talk about, so you can make preparations in advance.

Lu Yanhe had already read it yesterday and looked at it again today. There was basically no change.

Before coming here, he made it very clear that all sensitive topics would not be discussed.

This is all under contract.

Five minutes later, a makeup artist came to do his makeup and hair.

Except for stage makeup, Lu Yanhe never wears heavy makeup and gets it done quickly.

He yawned, stood up, and did some leg raises to cheer himself up.

At 7:35, the director knocked on the door and asked him to come over.

He followed everyone to the studio.

There are many people in the studio.

After he appeared, many curious eyes looked over.

Lu Yanhe could see that many people didn't actually know him.

After all, only a few people have watched "Friends", and he is indeed not a particularly famous foreign star to Americans.

At this time, Kaiser Murray also came.

The two of them looked at each other, and Kaiser Murray nodded to him, smiled slightly, and took the lead in going to the chat area.

Lily Williams says he discriminates against Asians. Lu Yanhe didn't know whether it was true or not, but when they met for the first time just now, Katherine Murray's attitude was indeed not very friendly, just polite for the sake of face.

Lu Yanhe smiled, gave the water glass in his hand to Wang Biao, walked to the chat area under the guidance of the director, and sat down on the sofa.

Test the sound and adjust your sitting position.

Someone was already shouting countdown.

Lu Yanhe took a breath silently.

Live broadcast interview…

Oh, I suddenly felt a little nervous again.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Chen Ziyan. She was standing in the dim light behind the camera with her hands folded. She nodded to him.

The countdown is over and the live broadcast officially begins.

Kaiser Murray already had a very standard anchor smile on his face and started his opening remarks.

"...Recently, a Chinese TV series "Friends" was broadcast on Maxine and has been loved by many people around the world. Today we invited Lu Yanhe, the screenwriter and one of the starring actors of "Friends", to the scene."

Katherine Murray turned to look at Lu Yanhe with a warm smile, "Welcome to our show."

"Thank you, Kaiser." Lu Yanhe's smile also brightened.

"Your English is very good." Katherine Murray showed a surprised expression. "I rarely hear Asians pronounce like you, if you haven't grown up in the United States."

Lu Yanhe: "Thank you, probably because I often work overseas and speak more, so I am more proficient. Kaiser, can you speak Chinese?"

"Me? I can't." Katherine Murray was stunned, as if he didn't expect that Lu Yanhe would suddenly ask him a question.

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Then you should come to China more often. I believe you can speak Chinese very well."

Kathe Murray smiled and said, "Well, thank you for the invitation. I will definitely go if I have the opportunity. In fact, after watching "Friends", I did become a little curious about China now, because the drama tells It’s the story of a group of young people in a Chinese city, right?”

"Yes."

"Why would you want to write a story like this?"

"Because this is the life of me and my friends over the past few years. It has a drama adaptation part, but the core thing is actually our understanding of life, work, love and friendship."

"You are an actor who has made many achievements in the film field. "Three Mountains", "Late Spring", "Silent River" and "Rouge Button"... These films have all won awards at international film festivals. Why did you achieve so much in the film field? After these achievements, you choose to film a sitcom?”

"Why? Well, actually I just want to shoot. There is no special reason." Lu Yanhe said, "I like to shoot different themes and different forms. The most important thing is the content that can move me."

Katherine Murray nodded, "I saw that many Chinese media said that you are the most representative young actor in China now. What do you think of this title?"

"I don't really think about what other people think of me, whether it's good or bad." Lu Yanhe said, "But I have to say, if I see such compliments, I will be very happy. I can't Deny this."

Katherine Murray: "So do you think you are the best young actor in China?"

"Myself? Of course I think so myself. I don't know if this is the case." Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded, "From the first day I became an actor, everyone told me that I must have confidence to be an actor. , A confident actor is always better than an unconfident actor, so that’s what I told myself from the first scene I played, I am not only the best young actor in China, I am the best actor.”

If it weren't for the live broadcast, Lu Yanhe would really not dare to answer like this, for fear of being taken out of context.

But because it was a live broadcast, he could speak more lively.

It may seem arrogant, but actually as long as you listen to what he is saying, you won't feel that way anymore.

Moreover, this was also the answer that Chen Ziyan and he had considered together.

When he reaches this stage, he should release a little "I am very good" attitude and signal at the right time.

In this era, everyone prefers people who show themselves positively and confidently.

Kathe Murray's interview with Lu Yanhe has made me more and more surprised. Because Lu Yanhe seemed a little different from the Asians he had interacted with before. In his opinion, Asians are actually a group that doesn't like to "fight back" very much. As long as you don't touch their bottom line, they will actually choose to endure or "laugh it off" in many cases.

Lu Yanhe, on the other hand, counterattacked calmly from the first question, or in other words, he did not let himself get any attention.

His reaction and agility, as well as his extremely generous and rigorous answers, have prevented Keizer Murray from finding a breakthrough point so far.

The audience will never like to see a guest complete the interview so easily. There must be some real emotions, or a feeling like "he was stabbed", in order to find the interview interesting.

As the interview progressed, Kaiser Murray heard the prompts from the director in his headset. Almost half of the fifteen-minute interview time had passed.

He followed the prompts and asked corresponding questions while thinking about the information he had just read in the lounge.

Finally, when it was almost time to end the interview and go into commercials, he thought of something.

He raised the last question: "Actually, I don't know if this question should be asked. After all, it has no evidence, it is just a guess. Yesterday, there was a very popular post on Chinese social media, saying that you had been in I won an award for Best Actor. That award was considered unfair competition. Lu, did you engage in any unfair competition regarding this matter?"

Lu Yanhe raised his eyebrows slightly.

He said: "Kather, you must not have watched the movies or TV series I acted in seriously."

"Huh?" Katherine Murray kept a smile on his face with some confusion.

Lu Yanhe looked at him with a smile, "The TV series "Friends" starring me is broadcast on Maxine, and the movie "The Mist" starring me is about to be released in the United States. If you went to see these two movies, you wouldn't ask me this question. ”

"Why?" Kaiser Murray thought to himself. Didn't you forget to advertise at this time?

"Because you will know after watching it that my performance is good enough and there is no need for any unfair competition." Lu Yanhe raised the corners of his mouth and smiled more openly.

There was no time for Kaiser Murray to ask further questions.

The director was already frantically urging him to join the commercial.

Kaiser Murray could only subconsciously answer: "It seems that I have to watch these two dramas seriously. Thank you Lu Yanhe for coming to our show. Although I have heard of you a long time ago, seeing you today, The real you still surprises me, welcome to come again!”

Finally got into advertising.

The director shouted that the show was over and would continue in five minutes.

Lu Yanhe stood up and shook hands with Katherine Murray.

"You did a great job," Kaiser Murray said.

Lu Yanhe said thank you.

After the show is over, Lu Yanhe can leave.

As their morning news continued, he waved to the camera crew, said goodbye, and left.

As soon as he got in the car, Wang Biao said excitedly: "It's so cool, Brother Lu. You may not have noticed that your response on the show shocked everyone there, especially your unfair answer." When it came to the competition question, as soon as your answer came out, the two women in front of me looked at each other in surprise, not expecting you to say that at all. "

Lu Yanhe smiled.

"Twitter also recognizes your performance very much, with mostly positive comments." Chen Ziyan said, "CBN's morning news is really influential enough. There are a lot of real-time discussions about you on Twitter, and there are many more Many people are recommending the show "Friends."

Lu Yanhe: "Is it effective?"

"We have to wait for Maxine's feedback to see what the data performance of "Friends" is in the United States today." Chen Ziyan said, "Okay, now it's time to enter the promotion time of "The Mist"." (End of Chapter)
