My singer girlfriend is super fierce

After the trailer for "Charlotte's Troubles" was played, the audience's reaction was actually a bit flat.

To be fair, this trailer is just average. It roughly explains that this is a comedy about being reborn into youth, but there is really nothing outstanding in other places.

Other movies cast popular stars, which at least makes them pleasing to the eye, but the main actors in this movie really don't have any advantages in terms of appearance...

The only character that impressed me the most was Qiuya. Although she looked like a green tea lover, she was really pretty! Her figure was really amazing.

At the scene, many media outlets watched the trailer and were not disappointed.

Generally speaking, in order to avoid spoilers, trailers for comedy movies will select some independent funny clips that do not involve the core plot to show, so as to avoid revealing too much information about the overall plot of the movie.

Everyone is quite confident about the films produced by Ye Zhiqiu.

The event entered the interview session, and a reporter immediately asked Ye Zhiqiu questions.

"Director Ye, your previous film, The Wandering Earth, achieved fantastic success, and many viewers are anticipating you to continue with The Wandering Earth 2 or similar hardcore sci-fi films. But you chose to return to comedy for your next film. What were your considerations?"

Ye Zhiqiu picked up the microphone and said bluntly: "If I say it's because of saving money, would you believe me?"

This answer surprised everyone present. Ye Zhiqiu continued, "This film was launched before The Wandering Earth was released."

"At the time, I had invested most of my money in The Wandering Earth, and my financial situation was quite tight."

"Personally, I don't like to bring in too many investors because I want to have absolute control over my work. Without the certainty of The Wandering Earth's box office, I can't invest so much to make a blockbuster."

"So, I chose to change the subject matter to make a transition."

Ye Zhiqiu's words were very realistic and there was no cliché in them. Everyone nodded in agreement and admired him even more.

Many people only saw the achievements of "The Wandering Earth" and praised it as "the pinnacle of domestic science fiction", but they don't know how much pressure Ye Zhiqiu had endured before the achievements were achieved.

A reporter raised his hand and asked, "Director Ye, you used a lot of newcomers in this film. Is this also due to cost considerations?"

This question is a bit sharp. As a director, one can't just say that he used this actor because he is cheap. That would be a bit disrespectful.

Generally speaking, in this kind of publicity and promotion activities, everyone just praises each other for their business, and there are very few reporters with such low EQ and bad manners, but it cannot be ruled out that competitors deliberately send them to cause trouble.

Ye Zhiqiu was familiar with this kind of situation and was not panicked at all.

When facing unreasonable questions or accusations, the most important thing is not to fall into the "self-proving trap" first.

Ye Zhiqiu did not answer the question directly, but said: "Actually, my inspiration for the story of "Charlotte's Troubles" was not a movie, but a play."

"Initially, I wanted to turn it into a drama program, but as the content continued to be filled and various elements were enriched, I gradually thought - why not just make it into a movie?"

"This is the origin of this work, so the narrative perspective and rhythm of the film have some shadows of drama. When selecting actors, the crew also focused on this aspect."

"The two main actors in the play, Bai Wei and Zhou Mei, both have extensive acting experience and are excellent drama actors. In this respect, they are not newcomers."

"Including the actors who played the roles of 'Yuan Hua' and 'Qiu Ya' - Yan Shaohua and Wang Ke, they both had their own works before, but they may not be so well known."

At this point, Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "However, I certainly hope that through this work, 'Charlotte's Troubles', I can drive their success and allow their future remuneration to reach a higher level."

As soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out in the audience.

Ye Zhiqiu's answer showed high emotional intelligence. Not only did he cleverly avoid the trap of the question, but he also took the opportunity to introduce several unknown actors, deepening the audience's memory.

In the crew, everyone looked at Ye Zhiqiu with admiration, and Wang Ke's eyes were almost sparkling with little stars of admiration.

He is young, promising, talented, handsome and has high IQ. He is simply the perfect man.

How come it’s not my turn to have this Tang Monk meat?!

After asking Ye Zhiqiu two questions in succession, the reporters finally turned their attention to the male protagonist, Bai Wei.

"Mr. Bai, you play the protagonist 'Charlotte'. What is the most attractive thing about this role, and what is the biggest difficulty?"

It was Bai Wei's first time facing so many reporters, and he was a little nervous, but he had been working in society for many years and had faced many audiences, so he was able to adapt quickly.

Bai Wei thought for a moment and answered seriously, "What attracts me most about the character of Charlotte is probably his 'ordinary' temperament."

"In fact, he is just like many of us. He once had dreams but compromised in reality. However, when he had the opportunity to start over, he made the choice that most ordinary people would make. This resonated with me."

"As for the most difficult part..." At this point, Bai Wei smiled bitterly, "It's probably the singing. Singing the song written by Director Ye is actually quite stressful. I'm worried that I might ruin the song."

"Oh, by the way, I'd like to give you a heads-up: Director Ye's new song is in this movie. Fans, please pay attention and show your support."

The news that Bai Wei revealed at the end did surprise many of the audience.

For fans, the opportunity to hear Ye Zhiqiu's new songs is worth the price of the movie ticket alone.

Next, the reporter asked questions to several other actors and finally returned to Ye Zhiqiu.

"Director Ye, 'Charlotte's Troubles' isn't the first comedy you've directed. As we all know, this subject matter is somewhat controversial among the public, who believe its social value isn't as high as other themes."

"What do you think about the balance between 'commercial comedy' and 'social value'?"

This is also a "big" and easy-to-fall-into-a-pit question. If not answered well, it can easily be magnified and cause adverse effects.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't indulge him and answered directly: "I think this so-called balance is a false proposition."

"The value of comedy lies in its ability to bring joy to the audience. Some may say it's 'vulgar,' but I don't think that's a flaw. As long as it's funny and not vulgar or offensive, it's fine."

"There's a saying: The core of comedy is tragedy. I think we can put it another way: The core of comedy is the dilemma in life."

"When people encounter certain difficulties in life and want to do something but are unable to do it due to various factors, comedy can bring people joy by expressing it through exaggeration. It is essentially a way to vent and release stress."

“That’s what comedy is about, I guess.”
