However, it was Teresa who came to interview Jiang Xia, so when CCTV interviewed Gail Benjamin, Benjamin took Teresa to be interviewed together.

After many years, someone finally appeared on the cover of Time Magazine again, and CCTV couldn't wait to interview more individuals.

The host sent by CCTV is also a well-known host Yang Chi, who attaches great importance to this interview.

Yang Chi: Hello Mr. Benjamin, it's an honor to interview you.

Benjamin: Hello, it's an honor to be interviewed by the Chinese media.

Yang Chi: The reason why we came here is that there has been no Chinese face on the cover of the main page of Time Magazine for 32 years, what is the reason why the main page of Time magazine uses Jiang Xia's photo as the cover character?

Benjamin: Because of his influence.

Yang Chi: Can you elaborate on it?

Benjamin: Absolutely. Time Magazine has been evaluating facts from the very beginning, and the cover characters selected for each issue of the magazine are quite representative.

Yang Chi: Do you mean that Jiangxia is representative?

Benjamin: Absolutely. He is quite representative. Last year, Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Yang Chi: Is he the only Chinese on the list?

Benjamin: He is a Chinese who can rank at the top of the list for the first time.

Yang Chi: That's why you're looking for him?

Benjamin: yes, he was on our Person of the Year cover last year. The cover of this issue of Times is last year's Person of the Year. In the last year, we have seen a lot of people and influenced a lot of things. But we have to find the most representative figure among them, and Jiang is a person we are very optimistic about.

Yang Chi: Why? In what ways did he impress you?

Benjamin: He touched us in a lot of ways. We know him systematically, his influence in China, and his past. We see the figure of a prodigal son looking back, and it's a powerful experience. Of course, these are not important, what matters is the influence of his work.

Yang Chi: The city is full of golden armor and upton funk?

Benjamin: That's right, these are the two works. Sweeping the world. The release of the golden armor all over the city made many of us unimaginable that the original movie could still be filmed like this, the shock of the original number of people reaching a certain level was so powerful, and the original ancient Chinese court was like this. It is a key that unlocks the key to cultural exchange between the East and the West.

In the past 20 years, no Chinese film has been released in North America, and the North American public's understanding of China only exists in the country's propaganda and government news, but it is an external image, not a cultural image. What are Chinese works like? What are Chinese stars like? What kind of Chinese movies do Chinese like? We don't know.

Yang Chi: Don't know?

Benjamin: No. There are some Chinese stars who will have a certain degree of fame in the world, but there has never been a work that has such an influence as the golden armor in the city. Its success really made the audience in the Western world willing to understand the cultural life of that country.

Yang Chi: I should thank Jiang Xia.

Benjamin: Yes, thanks to Jiangxia. It is he who uses his personal talent to let us know that China has talented filmmakers like him. We wouldn't have made him a candidate for Man of the Year if it was just a city full of gold, thanks to his talent, the success of Upton Funk, and the fact that he really made the world know him.

Yang Chi: But Upton Funk is a traditional English song, not a Chinese song.

Benjamin: It's more of a show of his talent, isn't it?

Yang Chi: Yes.

Benjamin: Because of these two works, he has become famous in the world, and we have also focused our attention on him, he is a different kind of Chinese star. Last year, he touched at least two billion people around the world. In the last year, even a national political leader was not as influential as him. He made two billion people hear his name and see his works. That's why we chose him as Person of the Year.

Yang Chi: So this time Time magazine chose him as the cover character, also because of this?

Benjamin: yes. This is the main reason, we believe that such an influential Chinese must be on the cover of Time magazine.

Yang Chi: How did you get the cover photo?

Benjamin: That's where Teresa comes in.

Yang Chi: Hello, Ms. Teresa.

Teresa: Hello.

Yang Chi: We found that the Jiangxia photo you used in Time magazine is not the original photo, but the current one?

Teresa: Right.

Yang Chi: He was interviewed by you?

Teresa: No, no, no, no. We went to interview Jiang Xia, but Jiang didn't accept our interview, so we had to take a group photo to seek a photo of him, and fortunately, he agreed.

Yang Chi: So, in this issue of Time Magazine, there is no interview with him, only one cover?

Teresa: That's right. Even this cover is still secretly photographed.

Yang Chi: Why do you want to use such a cover, and what do you want to express?

Teresa: The main reason for using such a photo is to highlight his unique temperament.

Yang Chi: Temperament? Jiangxia's temperament?

Teresa: yes, his temperament. We looked at his experience and found that he was not the same as the average star. And when we found him, he was working on a new movie and a new image. At that time, I felt that his image was very much in line with him, and he had been surprising and different.

Yang Chi: In your opinion, what is Jiang Xia?

Teresa: A very good-natured, very gentlemanly Chinese.

Yang Chi: You may be the first media reporter to say this about him.

Teresa: Haha, I know, I know what he looks like in China, but I don't think that's him, the real him, he should be the gentleman I contacted, and confident.

Yang Chi: I guess many people don't believe it.

Teresa: Believe it or not, he's that kind of person.

Yang Chi: In addition to Jiangxia, will anyone appear on the cover of Time Magazine?

Benjamin: Absolutely, every person and every group can be on the cover of the times, and we always choose the group or that person who is influential, who is newsworthy enough to provoke discussion or contemplation. This is what Time magazine has always insisted on.

Yang Chi: Thank you very much Mr. Benjamin and Ms. Teresa for accepting our interview, and thank you for your attention to China and Chinese artists.
