My friend Zeng Jian recently posted an article railing against one component of the celebrity entourage, i.e. the publicity person and his or her fastidiousness with which reporters' questions are vetted.iKX台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Zeng is a veteran reporter that covers China's showbiz and he works for one of the biggest portal sites. That is to say, he probably gets more respect than the average workman on the beat. As he complained, reporters were rarely asked to submit a question list when he first started out in the business. Of course, a diligent person would prepare at least a page of questions in advance just for himself or herself. It could be scribbling only the writer could recognize.iKX台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
However, a new practice has come into being: Reporters have to file the questions to the P.R. firm, who would forward it to the assistant to the star. And they would ask you to revise the questions, add something here or delete something there. Mostly deletions, though.iKX台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Zeng's griping got a lot of responses from his WeChat circle of friends. I chuckled, but did not add to the spool of incriminating tales.iKX台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
The most famous story in recent memory of publicity screening that hurt more than helped its client is the one involving movie star Tang Wei. She divulged in an early interview that her favorite dish is pork braised in brown sauce. Her PR team deemed this innocuous detail unfit for her public image and forced the reporter to change it to mushroom and vegetables. The reporter spilled the beans and Tang was viewed as hypocritical. In later interviews, reporters were strictly forbidden from touching upon this topic. In the end, Tang came out to clarify that she indeed likes the pork dish.iKX台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

Zeng said it was the P.R. guard who deprived Tang from a timely clarification on the issue.iKX台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
In my experience, the celebrity client rarely reads the questions. It is the assistant or publicist who performs the mental acrobatic routine of shielding flying daggers. So they would prefer softball questions or questions couched in the idolizing language of fandom.iKX台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Most movie stars I've interviewed are very intelligent. Depending on their scheduling, which could be hectic on a campaign, they can be quick-witted and willing to communicate. It is the routine questions that would bore them (though they're good at not showing it). If you come up with unusual but relevant questions, they would light up. But those are often the questions that get nipped in the bud by the PR machine.iKX台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
I don't have a problem with vetting, but it would be hard for me to stick to a script. If it's a natural dialogue, it would create its own flow and question ten may jump to question two as it happened with my conversation with British actor Colin Firth. Korean stars would not allow this, says Zeng, because the translator would not budge if you deviate from the prepared list.iKX台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Sure, reporters ask stupid questions, too. It is the job of their editors and readers to weed them out.iKX台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
If you treat celebrity interviewees as fragile porcelain, they will lose their tenacity as normal human beings and become brittle.iKX台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
