The appearance of Ye Zhiqiu and others caused a sensation at the scene.

Before he sat down, an assistant walked quickly towards him and whispered something in his ear.

Ye Zhiqiu was slightly surprised and looked towards Yang Kai.

Then, a staff member came and politely guided Yang Kai to sit in the front row.

Although the scalped ticket he bought was for the back row, it was easy for a celebrity like him to arrange a seat for him on the spot.

This was also the first time that Yang Kai saw Ye Zhiqiu up close offline.

Although they were in the same industry, they had never met before. Yang Kai had seen Ye Zhiqiu from afar once at an event, but the two had never talked.

The first time they met, Ye Zhiqiu gave him the impression that... he was indeed handsome, and this was a universally acknowledged fact, nothing much to say.

What surprised him a little was that the other party was not like some rumors on the Internet. Instead, his attitude was quite polite and his speech was quite elegant.

How should I put it... As soon as he opens his mouth, you feel that he must be well-educated and have some knowledge.

In fact, this kind of temperament is quite rare in the entertainment industry, especially for some young traffic stars. When your college entrance examination score is less than 200 yuan, you still expect him to have a high cultural level. It’s good enough if he is not illiterate.

The two of them exchanged a few brief words as a greeting, and just as Yang Kai sat down in the newly arranged seat for him, the premiere ceremony began.

Generally, at such events, before the official screening, the media and audiences will ask questions to the creative team regarding the film.

After Ye Zhiqiu led the crew members onto the stage, reporters soon began to ask questions.

"Reporter: Hello, Director Ye! It is understood that "Hello! Mr. Tree" is an art film, and the subject matter is relatively unpopular. Could you please talk about the original intention of creating this film?"

"Thank you." Ye Zhiqiu took the microphone and replied, "It's mainly because I personally want to try shooting more works of different styles."

"The original intention of this story also stems from the observation of certain phenomena in the process of social change. Through the character of 'Mr. Tree', I want to show the fate of those little people who are swept away by the torrent of the times, and their desire for a better life..."

For the second question, the reporter turned the microphone to Wang Qiang.

"Teacher Wang Qiang, may I ask why you chose to take on this role? Or, what touched you about this role?"

Wang Qiang took the microphone, with his signature simple smile on his face, and said: "The cooperation on Detective Chinatown was good. In fact, I also had opportunities for several dramas at that time, and then Zhiqiu came to me with this script."

"After I read the script, I didn't hesitate at all and immediately decided to act. Because I think as an actor, if you see this kind of script and don't take it, then this person... this person can be said to be unworthy of being an actor!"

Wow! That’s quite a lot.

Everyone was surprised, but it was also clear that Wang Qiang himself was very optimistic about the movie.

A reporter then asked: "Can you share with us the biggest difficulty you encountered while filming the movie?"

Wang Qiang thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's smoking."

"Actually, I didn't smoke before, but the character of 'Shu' has a smoking habit, so I practiced for a long time. After filming, I started to quit smoking."

The next question comes to Li Wenwen.

"Teacher Li Wenwen, in the plot you play the role of a 'mute girl'. Compared with your previous roles, what is the difference?"

Li Wenwen said: "It's a completely different experience."

“Since the character cannot speak, I need to convey her complex emotions through body language and expressions. It was very challenging during the filming, but it also gave me a deeper understanding of the character.”

At this point, Li Wenwen smiled and said: "In fact, during the filming process, what impressed me most was Brother Wang Qiang's performance."

"He really immersed himself in the role and brought Mr. Shu to life. When I acted opposite him, I sometimes couldn't tell the difference between the movie and reality..."

Afterwards, the reporter asked a few more questions and then moved on to the audience interaction session.

As one of the audience members and also a relatively well-known figure, singer Yang Kai was chosen to ask the first question.

Although there were some other factors involved, Yang Kai was indeed very interested in this movie. He had looked up a lot of information before and took this question very seriously.

"Hello, Director Ye! I saw that the story takes place in a rural area in Northeast China. I would like to ask how you understand and shape the characters in this background?"

Ye Zhiqiu took the microphone and said, "First of all, thank you Brother Yang Kai for your question, and thank you very much for coming here today."

"As for this question, everyone knows the changes in many parts of our country, from rural areas to urbanization, from backwardness to prosperity, and then gradually declining."

“In fact, this process first appeared in the Northeast.”

“The character ‘Shu’ is actually a silhouette of a certain group in this era. What I want to do is to try to make the audience understand the motivations of this group’s behavior based on the life experience and inner world of this character, and to show their emotional changes through details.”

Yang Kai nodded and sat down in his seat.

Next, other audience members asked questions in a more casual manner. After all, they were random and no one was prepared. In addition, a large number of them came for the purpose of chasing stars and were not that concerned about the content of the movie itself.

However, when it came to the last audience member, the problem suddenly became acute.

"Director Ye, this movie reflects rural reality, but I heard that it almost didn't pass the review. Some people said that this movie vilified the image of rural areas. What do you think of this statement?"

After this question was asked, the scene fell into silence for a moment.

Is this someone deliberately looking for trouble?

Below the stage, Yang Kai reacted immediately and secretly worried for Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't look panicked. He calmly asked, "So what do you think a real countryside looks like?"

Hearing this, Yang Kai was stunned, then slapped his head violently.

Wonderful!

Honestly speaking, if he puts himself in the role of Ye Zhiqiu, this question is really hard to answer. If he doesn't answer it well, it will easily cause adverse effects such as social public opinion.

But Ye Zhiqiu's question is very insightful. You say I am vilifying the image of the countryside, so what do you think the real countryside looks like?

Is this a paradise with simple folk customs, harmonious environment and peaceful times?

That is a farm stay, not a rural area.

In the real countryside, there is no lack of intrigue, and when it comes to issues concerning interests, the fickleness of human nature is even more vividly revealed.

The questioner opened his mouth and finally said with a bit of indifference: "Anyway...it shouldn't be like in the movies."

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "What this movie wants to express is not vilification, but gaze."

“We yearn for beauty, but true beauty is often born out of pain, and this process should not be ignored.”

After that, the whole audience applauded for this wonderful answer.

Below the stage, Yang Kai’s applause was particularly enthusiastic.

I said, this guy is well educated!
