Laila touched her forehead, "This is indeed an interesting question. Literally, it seems that saying Xiaofang is in a hurry is sufficient. However, with the addition of the option 'Xiaofang's boyfriend is in a hurry,' it's clear that the question considers some extended meanings."
If she could see the scene, she would have witnessed the confident host, who had just posed the question, now frozen. The other hosts next to him were afraid to disturb Laila's words and were silently laughing with their hands covering their mouths.
She continued, "From Xiaofang's words in the question, it can be inferred that she might be pregnant. In that case, not only she would be anxious, but her boyfriend would naturally be anxious too. Otherwise, it wouldn't be 'Xiaofang's boyfriend' but rather 'Xiaofang's husband.'"
In a traditional Eastern country like this, if someone found out they were pregnant without being married in 2005, both parties would surely be anxious. If the last option had been 'husband,' she would have made a different choice.
"Besides, I believe Xiaofang's parents would also be anxious, and her sister and all her family members would be affected. So, I think this is a..." Laila pondered for a moment, "a question without a standard answer."
The host's mouth twitched, and he forced a smile at the camera, "Who would believe that this is a foreigner!"
"Haha!" The audience applauded and laughed, delivering warm applause. They admired Laila, this eccentric foreigner. Little did they know that Laila had encountered countless similar questions in her previous life and wouldn't easily fall into such linguistic traps. Roy, on the other hand, was probably going to be discouraged in his enthusiasm for learning Chinese.
After thanking Laila, the program continued, and fortunately for Roy, he didn't have to drink those dreadful drinks. However, the other guests were not as lucky, each being pranked into hilarious situations, making it an entertaining spectacle.
Laila put away her phone and returned to where she was before. At this moment, the people inside were discussing the words she had just said. Seeing her come in, they immediately pursued her for more insights.
She didn't like socializing, but she couldn't deny that chatting with these people was much more enjoyable than dealing with wealthy individuals from her previous life. After all, movies were something that could bring her infinite joy. Even just chatting about them made her feel content.
During this trip to the East for promotion, Laila, along with the film crew, planned to stay in several large cities for two or three days each. The vast population in the East allowed for promotions in different places, making it a profitable venture.
A few days ago, Roy's recorded program was broadcast on TV during the prime weekend time. Roy's Chinese was already quite good, with only a slight accent. The three questions in the program, designed as punishment, had amused countless viewers. Many admired the production team for coming up with such questions to tease foreigners.
Laila's answers, especially the last one, surprised many. Even their fellow countrymen were almost tricked. It made people wonder if they had secretly coordinated, otherwise how could they seamlessly handle these questions at a Chinese proficiency level ten?
On the internet, Laila's name was tagged with "Chinese Proficiency Level Ten," alongside her other titles such as Hollywood director, master planner, genius photographer, and Oscar-level screenwriter.
The East has always had a fondness for foreigners who can speak Chinese. Laila once again won the hearts of the people in this country with her proficiency in Chinese.
This result left Roy speechless. He worked hard and was even pranked into participating in the program, but a phone call that fell into Laila's hands stole all his limelight. Moreover, it was stolen by the person he loved the most. Complaining was not an option.

While promoting in the local area, Laila also lit a fire in the United States. Her method wasn't directly promoting the movie but taking an unconventional approach. She uploaded many landscape photos she had taken herself to her Facebook account.
Each photo was breathtaking, giving people the feeling of entering a fairyland. Whether it was the mountain peaks shrouded in mist, the sparkling river, or the dazzling golden dunes, they were all so beautiful that people felt like they needed to hold their breath.
These were all photos taken by Laila herself during the filming of the movie in the East. Her photography skills were highly praised, and it was evident how much awe and admiration these photos drew from the audience.
Initially, to counter the discussion that Eastern landscapes were not suitable for filming Western fantasy movies, she had given Louise some of these photos to post.
The effect was excellent, as the beautiful scenery indeed attracted people. Even the paid water army couldn't find a place to criticize the picturesque locations. They had to give up and focus on attacking the Eastern actor instead.
However, the subsequent results were not what they expected. Who could have thought that the person they initially considered a small singer from the East turned out to be a well-known figure across Asia? It was easy to imagine how those water armies felt at that time.
This time, while Laila was promoting locally, she continued to upload more photos. When passing through certain cities, she also uploaded some photos of local customs and culture. It attracted numerous people who specifically came to collect the images. Not only movie fans and her followers but also people who loved travel and photography.
Unlike other fans who asked questions like, "Which scenes in the movie are these locations used for?" those people were more concerned with questions like, "Where is this place? I really want to go see it," and "This layout technique is unique, and the effect is really good."
This made the initial fans, who were only praising the scenery, feel like their idol was leveling up again. Unintentionally, it attracted people from other industries as well. At the same time, they also expressed that they didn't need Laila to be "Director Laila", "Photographer Laila" or even "Planner Laila."
Laila was helpless in the face of the fans' protests. She just wanted to promote the beautiful scenes in the movie, and those travel and photography enthusiasts came because they were attracted by her photos. Even if she didn't want to take the blame, she had to accept it.
What she didn't expect was that because of these photos, some people specifically approached her, hoping to collect her pictures and create a photography book for sale.
Facing Louise's inquiries and accusations of neglecting her main job, Laila could only innocently shrug. She didn't know anything!
