The press conference was held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Beijing, China.

A full press conference was followed by a ‘show’ element which involved Johnny Depp showing off his tattoos, receiving an abacus and meeting two adorable children. Despite all this, most media headlines focussed on the fact that Johnny Depp was wearing a diamond engagement ring.

FROM WSJ:
In his first trip to China, actor Johnny Depp said Monday he'd be willing to consider a move to the Middle Kingdom, citing the overwhelmingly warm reception from his fans.

Dozens of them swarmed a Beijing hotel Monday for a glimpse of the star armed with "We love you Johnny Depp" signs as Mr. Depp arrived to drum up hype for his upcoming sci-fi thriller "Transcendence."

Among them were fans like Cai Kexin, 21, who traveled 16 hours by train from eastern coastal Zhejiang province just to be in the same room with the star. "I cried when I found out he was getting engaged; I had to be here," said Ms. Cai, adding that she skipped class to be in Beijing with Mr. Depp. She and many others were delighted when Mr. Depp showed off a tattoo on his arm inspired by the I Ching, a Chinese classical text.

Mr. Depp said that while Hollywood has much to share with China, including its special effects and sci-fi expertise, American films can take lessons from China as well. "The level of art, the eons of culture…I most assuredly believe that we can learn a lot from China," Mr. Depp said in reply to a question from China Real Time about Hollywood's attempts to appeal to the Chinese market.

"I could live here easily," he said, adding, "It's a warm experience."
