Cheng Xiaoyu's speech at the Kodak Theater and "Titanic" swept the Oscars, once again aroused the enthusiasm of audiences around the world, and in the first week of March, "Titanic" successfully climbed to a new global box office record of $4 billion, and is constantly moving towards $4.5 billion.

Wall Street and Hollywood have learned to be indifferent to the unbridled record-breaking of big ships, and only occasionally seize the right time to complain: "If you go into the cinema and find that there is no movie to watch except for "Titanic", learn to get used to it, and when I know that there are avid fans who have watched the movie theater one hundred and one times and applied for the Guinness Book of World Records, I know that the big ship will never sink." ”

Monterrey also broke out a tourist climax, countless people came to the theme park of "Xichu", the "Titanic Hotel" was full every day, and people on social networks posted photos of couples imitating Ruth and Jack flying on the bow of the Titanic every day.

Even the shooting props that have not been dismantled have been visited by countless people with curiosity, and the theme park, which was originally regarded as a joke by Hollywood bigwigs, has become a money-attracting weapon, and it is making money every day.

In addition, the peripherals of "Titanic" are also in full swing, and various gadgets such as coated paper albums recording shooting tidbits, Titanic models, dolls, pillows, small mirrors, etc., are sold all over the world.

Wall Street estimates that the derivatives market of "Titanic" is more than 10 billion US dollars, but the most distressing thing is that "Titanic" is a one-shot deal and cannot make a sequel......

At this time, although "Xichu International" can no longer enjoy huge profits alone, it made a lot of money because it invested in the "IMAX company" before the release of "Titanic", and began to form the "IMAX Huaxia" company, which intends to be listed in China.

Cheng Xiaoyu never interfered with specific business operations, he was not good at these things, and he had no idea how much his personal wealth had swelled, and now he had no concept of money at all.

On Women's Day, UN Women held a press conference to announce Cheng Xiaoyu as the new Goodwill Ambassador, which is the first time that UN Women has invited a man to be a Goodwill Ambassador.

"The 24-year-old Chinese director will work on the empowerment of young women and will advocate for the HeForShe campaign launched by UN Women, which calls on men to support gender equality," the spokesperson said. When we called Cheng Xiaoyu, he agreed without hesitation and immediately said that he would donate $100 million to UNICEF, which is the largest donation ever received by UNICEF.

The announcement caused an immediate collapse of UN Women's website.

"We're sorry for the crash and hope it's back to normal soon. The head of UN Women said in the official "whisper".

After Cheng Xiaoyu became a goodwill ambassador, the official website of UN Women collapsed for about 15 hours due to too many visitors, and became the front page headlines of major media.

"This is the power of Cheng Xiaoyu, and he has a great attraction for people all over the world. Elizabeth, a staff member of UN Women, told reporters.

As for why she asked a man to be a Goodwill Ambassador, Elizabeth explained: "Women's rights are a matter for everyone on this planet, not only with women, but also with men, and we are proud to have Cheng Xiaoyu, whose talent and influence on people around the world are well known, and who is also very passionate about women's issues." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu also issued a "whisper" on the day of "March 8 Women's Day": I was really flattered to be invited to be a goodwill ambassador for UN Women. It's an opportunity to make a real difference not for everyone, and I feel like there's a long way to go. Women's and children's rights are at stake for each and every one of us, so I am deeply thrilled by this opportunity. I still have a lot to learn, but as the work progresses, I hope to use my knowledge, experience and perception to play this role well.

Immediately, Cheng Xiaoyu accepted the invitation of the United Nations Environmental Protection Organization and the United Nations Animal Protection Organization to shoot public service advertisements for the protection of the earth's environment and the protection of wild animals.

He has invited many celebrities, including Shamo Xia, Xu Qinning, Catherine Blanchett, Justin Bieber, Leonardo Dane, De Haan, Mary Hughes..... Morgan Robin and Tim Freeman, two of the two actors in "The Shawshank Redemption", traveled to Africa to shoot a public service announcement.

And in the advertisement, he put forward a deafening slogan: "No Sale, No Killing!"

In addition, "Xichu" announced that it will shoot at least two documentaries on environmental protection and wildlife protection this year, and announced the establishment of the "Xichu Public Welfare Fund", with Cheng Xiaoyu as the president, and will invest no less than 100 million US dollars every year to devote itself to public welfare.

Cheng was then named the UN Messenger for Peace, and for the second time in his life, he was interviewed by the media, this time in Time magazine, and a large photo of his handsome half face became the cover.

"Time Magazine" produced a special feature for Cheng Xiaoyu, called "The Two Sides of the King of the World".

Time magazine devoted six pages to this feature, and in addition to several photos taken by the magazine's special photographer Jameson King, there were also several photos of Cheng Xiaoyu on the set of "Titanic" contributed by Catherine Blanchett.

The article not only interviewed Cheng Xiaoyu, but also interviewed several people who had some connections with Cheng Xiaoyu, including Cheng Xiaoyu's opponents.

In November 2013, Cheng Xiaoyu began to prepare for his "Titanic", and announced that he would invest 400 million US dollars, which attracted ridicule.

At that time, Cheng Xiaoyu was just a Chinese director who was good at making small-budget films, but now this film, which has risen from 400 million to 830 million, has not only turned the young Chinese into a visionary artist, but also won him an incredible box office miracle and an Oscar.

As you can imagine, it's hard to see anyone break these records in our lifetimes.

Even Cheng Xiaoyu himself said frankly: "Such a miracle is unlikely to happen again." ”

When he started filming "Titanic", rumors and various doubts and ridicule filled the media pages, and people did not understand his pressure on 3D and IMAX.

Today, however, people walk into theaters to watch the IMAX version of "Titanic", where the faces of the male protagonist Jack and the female protagonist Ruth are printed on tens of millions of Coca-Cola bottles and sold around the world.

Cheng Xiaoyu himself has become the spokesperson of many public welfare organizations, and it is not a pleasant thing for him to become the focus of attention of people all over the world, which is why he has a poor relationship with the media in the past, and is reluctant to be interviewed, he repeated a sentence in the interview many times: "I hope everyone pays attention to the work itself, not to pay attention to me as a person, no one is perfect, and I am not ......"

Everyone has a different answer to what kind of person Cheng Xiaoyu is, and we interviewed several people who are close to him, including friends, collaborators, and opponents.

Photographer Erica Simon: Without a doubt, he's one of the greatest people in the world, one of the greatest artists, and no matter how much we think he did miracles, we can't ignore his efforts, he works tirelessly to refine his work. Therefore, we often see things coming, but we don't see the hard work that goes into them. We see the finished product, we see the beauty of the hard work, but we don't see his sleepless nights, blood, sweat and tears. Working with him has been the best experience for me!

Catherine Blanchett: When filming a movie, actually all the pressure was on Cheng Xiaoyu. Our crew is more of a fun person to shoot a movie, because we don't need to worry about the future and money, so the atmosphere of the crew is very harmonious, although we often shout and say, "We want to do better!" But in fact, each of us only works eight hours of work, only he is thinking about the film shooting almost 24 hours a day, and every time RAIN stands there and says, "Or, let's do it again, we can shoot this shot a little more beautifully." ”

I had a lot of fun almost every day during the shoot, and I would occasionally quarrel with him, but there would be no real conflict, because we were all making movies with our lives, and I loved working with him, I loved the process, and at the end of each day, I would think, "Oh my God, how did time pass so fast, where did the eight hours go!"

"To be honest I don't know what to say about him, it's true that he's great, but that's not complete, for me he's a little cuter behind the greatness, stripped of those halos, he's also an ordinary boy, he's shy, he's angry, he's very good at singing..... I like the way he sings with his guitar more than when he makes movies, because he is so serious when making movies. ”

Carlson Robert, Assistant Director, Titanic: We used a lot of new technologies when filming Titanic, including IMAX, which is the latest in the trend, like crazy stereoscopic effects, and some technical video and music production.

When it comes to work, he's a perfectionist. He was very ethic and wouldn't say, "I'm tired." "Won't say anything. Before it's done, he will say, "Let's get it done, do our best, and don't cut corners." "Whether it's shooting or financially, he doesn't cut corners.

He used to say to me: you have a lot of movies that you want to make, but if you want to be the best, you have to be the best in everything, including the cast and crew, the technical production, and the technical support for the music and picture production.

Staven Bell: It's unfair to compare me to RAIN, I didn't have a decent production at the age of 24, Titanic was more successful than I could have imagined, I think I'm old, not as adventurous as young people, and this year happens to be the time when the naming rights of the Kodak Theater will be terminated, and the Kodak Theater will be "sponsored by IMAX" in the future Renamed the Dolby Theatre, the 88th Oscar has become the most colorful stroke of the Kodak Theater, and it is also its curtain call, and the era of RAIN has come.

Peter Kopla: He's a respectable opponent, although I'm the one who criticizes him the most, but everyone needs their own opposite, otherwise he'll be easily lost, Cheng's disadvantage is that he's too young, he's too early to succeed, I hope he won't be too inflated and lose his soul in the future.

Regarding his films and music, Cheng Xiaoyu said in an interview: "Once people master a certain skill, it is easy to be limited and dominated by this skill, and indulge in it like a craftsman, and even think that this is the whole world, and many times I am trapped in that world, and it is difficult to escape, which is not a thing to be happy about." ”

Regarding the relationship between China and the United States, Cheng Xiaoyu said: "I hope that the two great countries can enhance understanding and friendship through communication, and in the future, I will strive to promote the world's understanding of Chinese culture, and hope that more people can understand my ancient motherland with a long history, and the first thing I am doing is to shoot the cartoon "Kung Fu Panda", .....

Regarding his dislike of being interviewed, Cheng Xiaoyu said: "I am suspicious of all these noisy careers and flamboyant feelings, and many people don't even know me and say they like me, and they always remind me of Shakespeare's mockery of life: 'It's full of sound and fanaticism, and there's nothing in it.'" ’”

For the future, Cheng Xiaoyu said: "I hope that the future days will be quiet, every day I listen to songs, read books, play the piano and guitar at home, and all kinds of lively circles and parties outside have nothing to do with me." I'm more keen to taste ordinary human affection with the people I like, and all kinds of fun-seeking places and parties outside have nothing to do with me. What I want is a day when I face the sea and spring flowers bloom, so that my state of mind can be at peace. ”

The concluding remarks of Time Magazine's special topic on Cheng Xiaoyu wrote: We see a lot of dualities in Cheng Xiaoyu, greatness and ordinary, self-isolation and openness, pride and humility, which are not necessarily antonyms in him.

He does not look down on others because of his power, wealth, or any strengths, and wants to dilute his aura and become more of an ordinary person.

Despite his young age, he was already in the best state of his life, which was "abundant quiet." ”

........

After Cheng Xiaoyu appeared in Time Magazine, he soon received an invitation from the "Shanghai 2024 Olympic Bid Committee", hoping that he could shoot a promotional video for Shanghai's 2024 Olympic bid and become an ambassador of Shanghai's Olympic bid......

In this time and space, the capital hosted the Olympic Games in 2000, instead of successfully bidding for the Olympic Games in 2008 as Cheng Xiaoyu remembers, and this time the 2024 Olympic bid is a very important opportunity for the whole of China, once again showing the world the opportunity for the prosperity and prosperity of China in full development.

After thinking about it for a night, Cheng Xiaoyu replied to the invitation of the "Shanghai 2024 Olympic Bid Committee" and promised to serve as the ambassador of Shanghai Olympic bid and shoot a promotional video for Shanghai's Olympic bid.

When the official website of the "Shanghai 2024 Olympic Bid Committee" announced the news, the whole of China was boiling......

I'll go back tomorrow! The U.S. chapter is all over here! In general, the whole process of the American chapter is a foreshadowing of Cheng Xiaoyu's last speech, about what kind of person Cheng Xiaoyu is, I think everyone should have a misunderstanding, he is not weak, after all, we have read too many online articles, most of them are the same domineering president-style protagonists, Xiaoyu is weak in comparison. And in most online articles, women are spoils of war embellished on it, but "Sister Puppet" is not, they have their own souls...... ）
