The new week began, and Martin joined the film's creative team at a film forum event in Los Angeles, continuing to rally support for the film's promotion.
There, he encountered a critic from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, Kenneth Turan from the "Los Angeles Times".
The two found a quiet place to chat alone.
"I've seen your new film, and the character is too superficial," Kenneth Turan, who had high hopes for Martin as a newcomer, expressed his disappointment bluntly, pointing out, "The character is all about looking cool and acting tough, with no soul."
As one of the top critics in Los Angeles, Martin showed great humility, appearing eager to learn, "I know, I realized these issues while filming."
Pleased that Martin was receptive, Kenneth Turan reminded him, "Your last character was explosive and could control intensity at will, which is quite rare."
