The press conference will be held on the second floor of the bookstore.
For the purpose of signing the book, an empty space was vacated on the second floor, and now there are some chairs for reporters to sit on.
However, many reporters came, and some even brought photographers. In the end, everyone was standing and no one wanted to sit down.
Jimmy temporarily acted as the host. After the reporters took their seats, he smiled and said, "Hello everyone, I am Jimmy James, YU's agent. I will host today's press conference. First of all, welcome everyone.
, the "Second World" signing event is YU's first signing event in the United States, which has extraordinary significance. I also want to thank Universal Pictures, Bear Bookstore and YU Umbrella Book Club for their support. Without their efforts, we would not have been able to do this.
There would be no signing event today."
"I think everyone should know that many people have worked hard to bring YU to the United States and to the many American book fans. When I came in just now, I saw petitions hanging outside. These petitions are from readers.
We signed them out one by one."
"So, in order to live up to the love of readers, we have to limit the time for questions to less than half an hour. The method of asking questions... everyone raises their hands and YU will choose. Okay, let's start."
As soon as Jimmy finished speaking, a dozen hands were raised.
Yu Dong casually clicked on one, "This is the gentleman in the blue shirt."
The reporter who was called was very happy. He smiled and said, "Hello YU, I'm from Fox TV station. I heard that before you came to New York, you had been helping Spielberg with some film preparations in Universal City.
Can you tell me about your specific work?”
Jimmy translated the question to Yu Dong, and then he touched the left side of his face. However, Yu Dong did not look at him at this moment and answered the question directly, "Mr. Spielberg is a very professional director. He has
Extraordinary talent and charisma. Especially in the film field, I have never seen a director as dedicated and innovative as him. He can always surprise me with some details."
At this point, Yu Dong gave Jimmy some time to translate, and then continued, "The preparations for "Second World" have been done very well. We are just here to do some trivial things. Of course, compared to what we have given
With Spielberg's help, we got more from him. He allowed me to see how the preliminary work of an excellent movie unfolds, and it also strengthened my confidence that he will definitely be able to turn "The Second World" into a new one.
"The World" was shot very well, everyone is looking forward to the release of the movie."
The reporters below were stunned after hearing Jimmy's translation.
What does this say? It seems like it says a lot, but in fact it says nothing.
The whole article is praising Spielberg for how professional he is, as well as his expectations for the movie.
But I can't find fault with it.
Jimmy secretly gave Yu Dong a thumbs up. He was worried that Yu Dong wouldn't be able to cope with this situation before, but now it seems that he was completely worried.
The reporter from Fox was a little unwilling to give up and wanted to continue asking. Jimmy had quick eyes and a quick mouth and said with a smile: "Thank you sir for your question. Please invite the next one."
The reporters raised their hands again, and Yu Dong named a female reporter, "This lady in red clothes."
The female reporter in red was standing further back, but after being called upon, she walked to the front and said, "Hello YU, I am Catherine, a reporter from Entertainment Weekly. I like reading your novels very much, especially "Resident Evil" and "Resident Evil"
"The Second World". We all know that both novels will be made into movies. However, it is very difficult for American movies to enter the Chinese market, which means that you may not be able to
Do you have any regrets when you see a movie adapted from your novel in your hometown? Or, are you disappointed with China's film introduction system?"
After Jimmy translated this time, he touched the right side of his face and winked at Yu Dong covertly, indicating that he should not say more about this issue and that it was best to deal with it.
In Jimmy's view, there is a big pitfall in this issue. If you talk too much, it is easy to jump into the pit.
Moreover, Entertainment Weekly has just been out for a few years, so it’s not particularly important, so it doesn’t matter if it’s perfunctory.
Yu Dong gave a look of "don't worry" and then replied: "No movie can be released in all countries, so for me, there is no regret. However, regardless of whether the movie can be released in China,
When the time comes, I will come to the United States to contribute my own box office. I have never seen a movie in an American cinema, and I think this will be a good experience."
Catherine didn't necessarily want Yu Dong to jump into the trap. Since Yu Dong didn't have an in-depth conversation, she took advantage of the situation and asked: "Then I wonder if you will watch it with the crew, or secretly go to the cinema to watch it by yourself?
I ask this question for the readers, maybe they can meet you in a movie theater by chance."
She was very smart and took the opportunity to ask the second question, and Yu Dong would not refuse.
"At that time, I will randomly find a movie theater with some of my friends and go in, because I also want to see the real reaction of the audience."
"I think your readers will be very happy to know this news. Thank you for your answer. My question is over."
"Okay, next person..."
The atmosphere of the press conference was pretty good. Most of the questions were very peaceful. There were only a few questions that dug holes, and Yu Dong perfectly avoided them all.
In fact, this is thanks to Universal Pictures. Most of the reporters here have been greeted by Universal Pictures, so the reporters will not ask too many excessive questions. After all, Universal’s influence is there, and they can’t go too far.
It was not easy to offend Yu Dong, and it was not easy to interview Yu Dong. After all, this was Yu Dong's first appearance in the United States.
Half an hour passed quickly, and Jimmy regretfully said that today's interview was over, and the official book signing was about to begin.
When they heard the interview was over, most of the reporters had already packed up their things and were about to leave, but Catherine sneaked up to Yu Dong.
Yu Dong was drinking water. When Catherine came over, he was startled.
Catherine wore a red suit with a white shirt underneath.
Originally, such a combination was nothing but conspicuous, but Catherine unbuttoned the top three buttons of her shirt at some point, revealing her career line.
Yu Dong even felt dazzled and quickly turned his head away.
Catherine laughed when she saw this, and just as she was about to say something, Lin Ke, who was standing aside, suddenly ran over and looked at Catherine with a look as if he was guarding against thieves, "Madam, the interview is over."
