175 First interview
Gavin Hunter hurriedly tried to button the buttons of his briefcase, but because he was running so fast, the buttons were not aligned at all. After several attempts and failed, he simply let it go. He looked at his watch and saw that the distance was agreed upon. With less than five minutes left, how could he have time to take care of the briefcase?.
Before departure, he had been watching "The Pacific War". For today's exclusive interview, he had been sorting out Renly's information last night, but so far there was too little information available on the Internet. In the end, he decided to watch the entire TV series Finally, before setting off, he had just watched the eighth episode, and he was so unsatisfied that he lost track of time..
He sprinted all the way into the hotel and rushed in before the elevator door closed. Only then did he finally get a short breathing space. He lowered his head and flipped through the folder in his hand to confirm his list of questions and related information before it was too late. After taking a breath, the elevator has already reached the floor..
Gavin walked out of the elevator quickly and was about to continue accelerating when he couldn't help but stopped and even took half a step back. At this time, the entire hotel corridor was crowded with people. A quick look showed that there were at least thirty people. There are more than 100 people. This is incredible for a hotel that is always quiet and cold. It seems like someone is having a party in the hotel room - but it is only ten o'clock in the morning. Who would have a party at this time?？
Unexpectedly, he saw the surging crowd, which made Gavin reflexively think that he was on the wrong floor. But then he took a closer look and understood: the people standing in the corridor were all carrying cameras and carrying business matters. They carried their press credentials and were chatting quietly, and from time to time you could hear some low laughter..
Apparently, these were all reporters, coming to interview the crew of Buried Alive—or, more accurately, reporters coming to interview Renly. Like him..
Scenes like this are very common at film festivals. Some popular crews may be interviewed by thirty media outlets in one afternoon. Some are group interviews, with five or six media outlets appearing together; some are exclusive interviews, which are important. The media won their own exclusive time. While the crew was being interviewed, other media were waiting slowly in the hotel corridor..
However, this is very rare for an independent film like "Buried Alive".
Gavin didn't expect it at all. He thought it would be great to see five media outlets today, but the actual situation was obviously off track. Gavin couldn't help but feel lucky that he had made an appointment in advance before the premiere of "Buried Alive", otherwise With the professionalism and authority of "U.S. Weekly" and his own position in the industry - he has only been in the industry for less than two years. Want to get an exclusive interview before these media? It is almost impossible. Judging from the current situation, group interviews may not be able to be ranked in the first two batches..
After hesitating for a moment, Gavin took a step forward. In an instant, everyone in the corridor glanced at him. In that heavy gaze, he could clearly see complex emotions such as speculation, inquiry, and doubt. This made Gavin With some weak feet, I walked forward cautiously, as if walking through the road to hell. The evil ghosts on both sides were watching eagerly. Any mistake might be robbed and eaten cleanly..
A passage of less than twenty yards, Gavin was sweating profusely and his face was red. He didn't know whether it was the consequences of running all the way just now, or the negative effects of too much pressure in his heart..
He stopped at the door of the hotel room, coughed and cleared his throat, squeezed the sweat from his palms, and then knocked on the door. In an instant, all eyes turned into sharp knives, stabbing Gavin on the back. , everyone is speculating: Who is it that got Renly’s first interview qualification?？
What Gavin didn't know was that after the premiere of "Buried Alive", at least thirteen media outlets tried to book Renly's first exclusive interview with Andy. If those before the premiere were added, the number of appointments would be as high as Breaking through thirty.
Exclusive interviews are different from ordinary publicity interviews. Whether it is a single media or multiple media together, the questions asked in ordinary interviews will be relatively simple and mainly revolve around the promotional content. This kind of interview is more like a social activity. , to put it simply, there is less practical information; but the exclusive interview is much more professional, whether it is a promotional project or the interviewee, it will be more in-depth, including behind-the-scenes, actor anecdotes, scandals, controversial events, etc., the content will be included.
For the same question, in a normal interview, the interviewee can often do Tai Chi and get it over with in one sentence; but in an exclusive interview, the reporter will inevitably ask the question to the end. Sometimes the interviewee is overcome, and the publicist and agent will later People have to make amends to prevent the situation from getting bigger, or they may simply be reported directly..
These two kinds of interviews are not the same thing at all. In addition, exclusive interviews appear more often in magazines, while there are relatively few exclusive interviews in newspapers..
The "Pacific War" crew previously accepted an interview with "Vanity Fair", which was a typical ordinary interview. Although the questions Daisy Lucas asked were slightly in-depth, the part that was finally published was very limited - because the real protagonist is Tom. -Hanks and Steven Spielberg, not a nobody.
Even at the Toronto Film Festival, due to the large number of participating films and the even more impressive number of celebrities attending, exclusive interviews are indispensable, but the number is also very limited. But this time it is different. It shines on an international stage like the Toronto Film Festival. , already eye-catching, coupled with the previous mysticism, the reporters discovered: So far, Renly has never accepted an exclusive interview with any media.
At this time, everyone was completely shocked. Interview appointments flew in like pieces of paper, but the first interview from 10 to 10:30 this morning was not available. The New York Times made an appointment for the second interview One, and the "Hollywood Reporter" made an appointment for the third one. Both of them are top media outlets among the top in the industry, but neither of them actually made an appointment for the first time. This really shocked the major media. At this time, people are even more curious, so who is the one who defeated these two media?？
A reporter recognized Gavin, walked up quickly, and patted Gavin on the shoulder, "What are you doing? Everyone here is queuing up, waiting for the first media to get an exclusive interview. Don't come over and cause trouble. La.”
Gavin looked back and saw that it was Cornell McGregor from Entertainment Weekly. "If you want to make an appointment now, you'll probably have to wait until tomorrow. I came here today, which is when I planned to take a look at the group interview. , is it possible to fish in troubled waters? In the afternoon, the entire crew was interviewed together and arranged for three hours. We estimate that we will have to wait for a long time..”
In Cornell's view, Gavin is obviously not qualified. "U.S. Weekly" is quite authoritative in terms of gossip news, but it is not ranked at all at the Toronto Film Festival..
Gavin opened his mouth to explain, but the door to the room suddenly opened, and it was Andy Rogers, the top agent in the industry, who appeared in sight. Many people have dealt with him. This sound Interrupting the conversation between Gavin and Cornell, both of them looked over. Cornell pulled Gavin and was about to retreat. Unexpectedly, Andy asked, "Gavin Hunter"？”
Gavin nodded quickly and handed over his press pass. Andy glanced at it and nodded, still with a smile on his face, and joked in a joking tone, "You're late..”
Gavin suddenly felt embarrassed, "Sorry." The jealous light wave coming from the entire corridor could almost melt Gavin..
Andy didn't say anything more and said nonchalantly, "The time wasted is yours, not Renly's." Anyway, at half past ten, a reporter from the "New York Times" would come in and cut off the interview. Then Andy opened the He opened the door to the room and gave way to his position..
Gavin immediately became nervous, patted Connell on the shoulder, and entered the room without having time to say anything. Then Connell watched Andy close the door to the room with a smile, and he was completely stunned. Standing on the spot, looking confused, this... what is going on?？
Gavin strode into the hall and saw Renly sitting on the sofa reading a book. He was wearing a dark blue polka-dot tennis shirt today, paired with a pair of light gray casual suit pants. , there is a burgundy woolen cardigan placed on the armrest of the sofa. The simple dress reveals an indescribable elegance, which makes Gavin naturally think of Cambridge University - or the style of a college such as Oxford University..
“Sorry, I'm late. Gavin Hunter." Gavin strode forward. Renly stood up and extended his right hand. The two shook hands briefly. Gavin quickly put away his briefcase and information. When he came down, he felt a little rushed, which made Renly laugh, "Don't worry, this is my first interview, I'm more nervous than you are..”
Gavin couldn't help but chuckle and glanced at the book Renly put on the table. It was "Insects" by Jean-Henri-Fabre. "Reading is your hobby.？”
“Oh, no, just to pass the time." Renly waved his hand, "You know, when waiting for the plane or the subway, a book can always make time pass faster..”
The casual tone made Gavin relax a little, "I thought you were a keen reader, because you look like this type of person.".”
“Maybe this can help the public have a good impression of me, but I don’t want to carry the burden of such an image, it’s too tiring.” Renly’s joking tone made Gavin laugh again, and he couldn’t help but think of Natalie- Portman, in her public relations promotion, Harvard University degree has always been an important part, Emma Watson, who enrolled at Brown University last year, obviously also plans to take this path.
Gavin was a little surprised, but not too surprised. Through the past few days of contact, he only got to know a small part of Renly, didn't he?？
“Well, I'd better start with the basic information, what kind of person are you?？”
