Cheng Xiaoyu didn't say anything, just nodded.

Xiao Zhiyan didn't cry this time, said that she was coming during the winter vacation, kissed Cheng Xiaoyu on the face, and obediently boarded the plane with Zhou Peipei.

On August 28, Cheng Xiaoyu's comedy "The Hangover" was released in North America at the end of the summer file, Cheng Xiaoyu basically didn't go to the set of this movie, most of the shots were shot by David Gill, but all the storyboard scripts were all produced by Cheng Xiaoyu, David Gill basically shot according to the script, so Cheng Xiaoyu is still the producer and director, and David Gill is the second most important executive director.

"Xichu", which has never had a very formal premiere, held a premiere this time, as Wang Ou's first independent film, this is also a very memorable day for Wang Ou.

In addition to Cheng Xiaoyu and the crew, directors Stavon Bell, Justin Bieber, Catherine Blanchett, Charlize Theron, horror movie actress Nancy and Hollywood gold-medal producer Harvey Weinstein appeared at the premiere.

Xu Qinning, Duanmu Linsha and Xia Shamo also attended the premiere, and when many beauties walked across the red carpet in luxurious and shiny dresses, they stole the limelight from all the crew, especially when Xia Shamo appeared on the red carpet in a DIOR haute couture white evening dress, which received the warm attention of the media as Catherine Blanchett.

After the meeting of the main creators, before the movie was played, Justin Bieber and Xu Qinning took the stage to sing the interlude "Tik.Tok" (BGM "Tik.Tok" - kesha), and then the popular Xia Shamo sang the ending song "Teenage.Dream" ("Teenage.Dream" - Katy.Perry).

At this time, Xia Shamo can also be said to be popular in the United States, when she was the lead singer of "Guilty Crown", because there were relatively few MVs filmed, and she never advertised, even if she won the Grammy, she was still popular in the United States, but people were not popular.

Many people have heard her sing "hero" and "listen", but they don't know her as a person, after all, the previous albums were all hung with the name of "Guilty Crown".

And you must know that there are a total of 30 categories of Grammys, and there are as many as 85 awards, and the media doesn't pay attention to you, don't report on you, and you just go through the motions when you receive the award, at most you just have a reputation in the industry.

For the Grammys, most of the audience only cares about the most important award "Album of the Year", followed by "Best Pop Male and Female Vocalist", and then "Best Pop Album of the Year".

As for other awards, most of them are awarded to industry insiders, after all, it is the same as the "Oscar", which is an award voted by more than 20,000 industry insiders, so whether a person is popular or not really depends on how many awards you have won, but on the attention of the media and the public.

This time, the super high ratings of "The Voice of America" and the wonderful singing in the first round detonated the topic of discussing her, coupled with the crazy face slap with the chorus of the diva Mary Hughes in the knockout round, which really attracted countless eyeballs.

After the premiere of "The Hangover" ended in laughter, he bought PR services from Harvey Weinstein's company, and this time Cheng Xiaoyu was finally not as bad as those professional film critics, with Rotten Tomatoes receiving 71% praise and IMDB receiving a high score of 8.2.

On September 7th, the semifinals were live, and Xia Shamo entered the finals without suspense with a song "HALO" and "listen".

In this battle, the weaker Will Kinson team was wiped out, the strongest Mary Hughes team of Xia Samo and Orianna Gibson both advanced, and James Dylan and Bray Shelton each had one player enter the finals.

But after Xia Shamo's battle, Xia Shamo was criticized for not changing much in the style of music and having no new classical singing.

"In addition to showing off her skills and showing off her wide vocal range, what else can Xia Shamo dedicate to us?" - "Music Time and Space".

"We already know how good Xia Shamo's treble extension and stability are, and now it's time for her to break through the genre and present pop songs with a stable voice that doesn't just rely on high notes!" - "Rolling Stone".

Xia Shamo is as stable as ever, and the selection of the two songs is also very interesting, one is to express gratitude and the other is eager to listen, but the core is to express a pious and pure spirit, Xia Shamo's completion is very high, but we are tired of hearing Xia Shamo sing this kind of big song, so this performance has become a boring and excellent sound. - BillBoard Music Magazine.

Not only did the American media express some disappointment, but the Chinese media also had some opinions on Xia Shamo's only singing English songs, so many netizens gave advice and made demands for Xia Shamo.

"Xia Shamo, as a Chinese singer, is extremely Westernized in both singing and music, not looking at people, just listening to the voice, it is impossible to tell which country she is, although she competes in the United States, of course, she has to sing English songs, but I still hope that Xia Shamo can show a little music belonging to our Chinese nation in the competition!"

"Mr. Cheng actually wrote a lot of beautiful Chinese style songs, and I hope that the empress will consider performing in the finals. ”

"I'm very vulgar! I hope to hear the empress wearing a cheongsam and singing "Pure Land of Bliss" in the finals!"

"As the only singer in China who has won an award at the Grammys, I still look forward to Miss Xia Shamo being able to take on the burden of promoting Chinese music, Mr. Cheng's creative ability is beyond doubt, and as far as I know, Mr. Cheng has also been committed to carrying forward national instruments and national music, and the performance in the semi-finals is unsatisfactory, I hope that Mr. Cheng will show his real skills in the finals, not only to let the empress take this championship without dispute, but also to show the diversity of our Chinese musicians!"

"Xia Shamo was questioned in this regard when she participated in the 'Youth Song Competition', because her singing voice that blended classical and opera was more suitable for singing Western songs, and because she was almost eliminated for singing Western songs in the 'Shanghai Top Ten Singers Finals', so after entering the finals in Beijing, Mr. Cheng came up with a few difficult Chinese songs, proving that the empress not only holds Western songs, but also plays with folk music. In the finals, this kind of shocking world music will definitely scare foreigners half to death!"

"To be honest, everyone's expectations are good, but I don't think it's very likely to sing Chinese song in the final final, after all, this is the final, and it's still in the United States, and if you are careless, you may be eliminated...... Do you think Xia Shamo sings a Chinese song during the competition, Americans can understand? Because IP voting outside the United States is prohibited, our Chinese IP can't vote, in addition to the media voting on the spot, it is all American media, I can say, singing Chinese songs is purely looking for death!"

"I also don't think it's realistic to let Xia Shamo sing Chinese song in the finals...... Stop teasing me!"

"Upstairs +1, if Xia Shamo has no hope of winning the championship, she will sing it, but she is obviously the favorite to win the championship, and it feels a bit self-destructive to do so, after all, she must mainly please the American media and the audience. ”

On September 14, directed by Cheng Xiaoyu, the comedy "The Hangover" produced by "Xi Chu" became the biggest winner this summer, winning the first week with a small cost of 35 million and $41 million in the first week, preventing Paramount's high hopes for "One Flight Over Purgatory" After the succession, it refreshed the single-week box office performance of R-rated comedies with a super high box office of 47 million US dollars.

Film critics and the media have been speechless about Cheng Xiaoyu's non-routine and repeated miracle creation, "The Hangover" should be regarded as a dark horse, but this dark horse is from Cheng Xiaoyu, which makes people feel as if they are not a dark horse at all.

But if you think about it, this movie doesn't have a big name other than Cheng Xiaoyu, and although Justin Bieber made a cameo appearance at the wedding at the end, it's clear that he didn't bring much fan economy to the movie.

Cheng Xiaoyu is still continuing the miracle of his own small-budget films with excess returns as always, and "Xichu Pictures" has become the hottest film company in Hollywood except for the Big Six, and the media even used the name "Cheng Girl" for the first time in the report to refer to those women who were praised by Cheng Xiaoyu.

It's still hard to think that this nonsensical R-rated comedy can be a big hit, and "Hollywood Observer" analyzes: ""The Hangover looks like a bit of a stupid film, but Director Cheng is actually very smart.

The film does not directly narrate in terms of structure, but goes back to find the answer, and the unbelievable scene of the second day is extremely aroused the audience's interest, and this suspenseful treatment makes this comedy very different.

Of course, American comedy no longer uses disgusting as a joke and the film is cleverly handled in structure, "The Hangover" has entered the eyes of more audiences, and has even been recognized by many professionals, the story is well told, but there are slightly fewer jokes, which seems to be a pity as a comedy.

Director Cheng once again proved himself with a small-budget movie, you see that I can not only make horror movies, but also comedy films, which makes people look forward to the day when "Titanic" is revealed, let us continue to pay attention to Director Cheng's performance!"

The Staples Center was transformed into a dazzling three-sided stage by the crew of The Voice to accommodate 17,000 people. Tickets starting at $230 were sold out early, and the $1,500 VIP seat ticket at the top of the table has been sold for more than $20,000 a ticket today, which is comparable to the price of a front-row ticket for the NBA Finals.

The main reason is that the super purchasing power of the Chinese tyrants has pushed up the ticket price, and countless local tyrants from China have waved their dollars to find the best position to buy the ticket economy, according to the statistics of the ticketing website, 17,000 tickets, about 6,000 were purchased by the Chinese people.

A few days near the 20th, the flight tickets from Shanghai and Beijing to Los Angeles have long been sold out, and many viewers who can't buy tickets can only choose to transfer to New York or Singapore......
