Avoid the topic by changing the topic

Instead of answering each other's questions, they talk about other topics and turn the audience's attention to other aspects.

The questioner's intentional or unintentional questions often touch the taboo and hidden pain in people's hearts. For those questions we are unwilling to answer, we may take obvious avoidance measures, deliberately turn the topic to another person or thing, express silent protest to the other party, and make the attention of those present move away from ourselves. When the questioner sees that our side ignores his question, he will soon realize his recklessness and rudeness when he is embarrassed, so he will take warning and never make similar mistakes again.

After Gu Yue successfully played Chairman Mao Zedong, she often encountered all kinds of tricky questions from Chinese and foreign journalists. The questions the reporter mentioned are about him in his life and "he" on the screen. On such occasions, he not only follows the principle of "meeting in narrow paths, the brave win", but also believes in "meeting in narrow paths, the wise win." When answering a reporter's questions, he always responds calmly, and his words are sometimes straightforward, sometimes euphemistic, sometimes humorous, and sharp to those who are not good at it. There was a story like this:

In 1984, he was interviewed by a group of reporters after a performance, during which a foreign reporter asked: "the cultural revolution has brought great losses to China. Will it affect the image of Mao Zedong?"

Gu Yue pondered for a moment, did not answer positively, but asked the reporter: "do you think Venus is beautiful?"

"Beautiful, beautiful." A reporter said without hesitation, with a sense of pride in his tone.

"Isn't Venus beautiful when his arms are broken?" Gu Yue saw the reporter enter the trap and catch up.

"Although the arm is broken, it doesn't affect the whole beauty of Venus."

Therefore, Gu Yue grasped the right time and said, "your answer has already answered the reporter's question."

The reporter shook his head helplessly, convinced by Gu Yue's roundabout technique and eloquence. Gu Yue is just the actor of Mao Zedong. It is very difficult for foreign journalists to ask him to evaluate Mao Zedong's merits and demerits. Therefore, he asked the other party to judge the beauty of Venus. When the reporter answered, Gu Yue said that just like the other party's evaluation of Venus, Mao Zedong's mistakes could not cover up his achievements.
