Chapter 167 Talk Show
"The guest who will appear next is not only a screenwriter, but also a director."

"The movies he wrote and directed have repeatedly become dark horses at the Hollywood box office. Yes, many times. Next, he will bring his new work to meet you. Let us welcome Zhao!"

Accompanied by David Letterman's introduction, there was warm applause at the scene.

And Zhao Yuan also stepped onto the stage of "Late Night Show" amidst the applause.

He once suggested to Ron Mayer to continue to use the "Blair Witch" promotion method, but obviously Universal did not fully adopt this point.

Although the film production company also hypes up the gimmicks in the "pseudo-documentary", but just to be on the safe side, Universal has also arranged a lot of promotional activities for the film, among which starring in a reality show is one of them.

As the most famous person in the crew of "Smart: Ghost Story", Zhao Yuan has become the focus of global publicity without hesitation.

Although, I am not too keen on talk shows in my heart.

However, due to the movie's box office considerations, Zhao Yuan still had to agree to Universal's request and participated in the talk show "Late Night Show" to promote his new movie.

"Zhao, are you doing well?"

"I'm very good."

On the host seat, he exchanged simple greetings with Zhao Yuan who was on the sofa.

"Late Late" host David Letterman was quick to get into interview mode.

"Are you excited about your new film that will be released on the big screen, Zhao?"

"Correct, David, I didn't shoot the film, I just found a tape."

Facing David Letterman's question, Zhao Yuan gave an explanation in a serious manner.

Hearing his words, the scene laughed again.

It has only been a year since the movie "The Blair Witch" was released, and in the film promotion, it also used the found videotape as a promotional reason.

Therefore, upon hearing Zhao Yuan's answer, many viewers who had watched "The Blair Witch" immediately burst out laughing.

"Well, Zhao, you can always pick up a videotape."

Following Zhao Yuan's words, David Letterman shrugged in response.

"And these video tapes happen to be released on the big screen."

In an obviously meaningful tone, he said something to Zhao Yuan in front of him, leaving a laugh on the talk show.

David Letterman changed the subject, and instead of entangled in the issue of the film, he turned back to Zhao Yuan.

"So, Zhao, what made you become a screenwriter?"

"I like to create, and I have all kinds of stories in my mind, and I want to write them out, so I chose to become a screenwriter."

"What about the facts?"

The reason Zhao Yuan gave was very positive, but David Letterman was obviously not satisfied with a positive and empty answer, so he continued to ask questions.

"Well, I admit it, for fame and money."

Meeting David Letterman's eyes, Zhao Yuan shrugged and said bluntly.

Zhao Yuan answered without hesitation, which aroused warm applause from the scene.

Compared with the coy answer, his reaction is more in line with the wishes of the Americans.

"You are very honest, Zhao."

"I'm just expressing my true thoughts."

"I like your real thoughts, so, is the content of the video tape real?"

After complimenting Zhao Yuan, David Letterman suddenly changed the subject and returned to the issue of movies.

"of course."

David Letterman's question was a bit unexpected, but Zhao Yuan was clearly prepared, and nodded as he entered the venue, still promoting the authenticity of the documentary.

The entire talk show interview process that followed was spent in David Letterman's constant questioning about Zhao Yuanren's daily life, plus the occasional surprise movie questioning.

Every time when David Letterman asked to return to the content of the film, Zhao Yuan would always tell the other party about the 'truth' of the documentary in a serious manner.

……

"I know him."

Washington, BSI headquarters.

Detective Zhou watched the talk show played on the TV screen that Spike brought to the office, and Zhao Yuan, who was talking with David Letterman, said something expressionlessly.

"I also know David Letterman."

Hearing Detective Zhou's words, Detective Phil glanced at the picture on the TV screen, and said immediately.

"I mean the one who was interviewed."

Turning his head and glanced at Detective Phil beside him, Detective Zhou continued to speak in silence.

"he is?"

Hearing Agent Zhou's answer, Agent Phil looked at Zhao Yuan, who was talking back and forth with the host on the show, with a puzzled expression on his face.

In Hollywood, screenwriters are not as famous as actors after all.

"Zhao Yuan, a Hollywood celebrity."

Appearing in the agent's conversation, Amanda glanced at the familiar face on TV, then whispered.

"In the previous 'Wolf Girl' incident, the other party also appeared at the scene of the crime. I was a patrolman and interrogated him at the time."

"So, this celebrity was also an experiencer of extraordinary events?"

Hearing Amanda's words, Agent Phil turned his head to look at Zhao Yuan on the TV again, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows in surprise.

"He didn't know what happened in the Devil's Forest, but just happened to appear in the small town where it happened at that time."

Shaking his head, Detective Zhou had doubts about the connection between Zhao Yuan and the "Wolf Girl" that happened in Devil's River Forest.

However, with more and more supernatural incidents later, it seems that this celebrity did not appear at the scene of the crime again.

So gradually, Agent Zhou let go of his doubts.

Hearing Agent Zhou's answer, Agent Phil nodded and looked away from the TV.

At this moment, Spike, who had been sitting in front of the TV and silently watching the "Late Late Show" talk show, suddenly got up, stretched and said.

"Decided!"

"Decide what?"

Noticing Spike's movement, Amanda looked subconsciously.

"I'm going to watch "Spirituality: Ghost Story" this week."

Hearing Amanda's inquiry, Spike picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank the remaining tea in it, and replied.

"This is just a movie. The 'pseudo-documentary' or something is just the other party's propaganda method. It is just as fake as the celebrity's previous film called "The Blair Witch."

"But the movie sounds interesting, doesn't it?"

Spike also knows the truth of the movie, but he obviously doesn't care.

"What, "The Blair Witch" is his work?!"

And at this moment, when he heard the "Blair Witch" mentioned by Amanda, Agent Phil suddenly changed his indifferent appearance, looked at Zhao Yuan on the TV screen, and shouted in surprise.
