A 22-year-old Chinese star served as a goodwill ambassador of the United Nations Environment Programme and participated in the World Youth Forum of the United Nations. Both of these events were quite shocking. After the award ceremony, some media reporters went to the official websites of the United Nations Environment Programme and the world youth forum to check. Only then did they find that Xiao Yao''s English name appeared in the introduction of the activity process on the official websites of the organization and the activity.
After confirmation, many media also reported the news, and many online media directly posted two screenshots of Xiao Yao''s name on the official website.
Some netizens are faster than media reporters. The annual "Golden Dragon Award" ceremony is broadcast live by CCTV''s film channel. Before the award ceremony was over, the news that Xiao Yao was absent from the "Golden Dragon Award" award ceremony for going to the United Nations to participate in the youth forum appeared on the Internet.
Of course, just this news and these photos are enough to make Xiao Yao''s fans and ordinary Chinese people very happy. After all, it''s a United Nations event, not a commercial event or a variety show. Xiao Yao can''t perform a show on that occasion.
However, to the surprise of Xiao Yao''s fans, Chinese media and the public, Xiao Yao gave many people a big surprise at the World Youth Forum.
The world youth forum is not an activity of UNEP, but an activity initiated by the UN Secretary General''s office, UN youth office and other departments. At the forum, there were not only the themes of environmental protection, but also a series of topics such as economy, energy, education, eradication of hunger and poverty, and sustainable development.
Xiao Yao was given the opportunity to speak at the forum. As a goodwill ambassador of UNEP, his speech is also related to environmental protection.
Although Xiao Yao is going to make a speech on environmental protection, as his goodwill ambassador, he doesn''t need to put forward any specific feasible solutions to environmental protection problems. Those are the problems that need to be solved by professionals known as "scientists". What he needs to do is to express his position and appeal for more people to pay attention to these problems. Therefore, Xiao Yao''s task is not to make a report in the forum, but to make a speech.
The speeches at the world youth forum are all prepared by ourselves. When Xiao Yao came to the United States, he brought only one assistant, not the person who helped him write his speech. Although Xiao Yao has the identity of director and screenwriter, considering the identity of entertainment star, the environmental planning department arranged someone to write a speech for him.
For Xiao Yao, who has no problem in English and has a strong memory, it''s very easy for him to recite such a speech and go to the forum to talk about it. However, Xiao Yao didn''t accept the kindness of UNEP and found himself a little more upset.
Speaking of speeches, the first one in Xiao Yao''s mind is the famous speech "I have a dream" delivered by Martin Luther King in the Lincoln Memorial.
Xiao Yao''s speech at the World Youth Forum was only a few minutes, not more than ten minutes like Martin Luther King, but Xiao Yao didn''t intend to copy the full text of "I have a dream" of his previous life. Xiao Yao didn''t have much impression on most of the previous content, but he had a special feeling about the following paragraphs which begin with "Ihave dream". If you leave out the long paragraph in front of the original text and only keep the following paragraphs, the length of the speech is just right.
Although the content of that speech was about the equality of black people in the United States, Xiao Yao felt that it should also give people a very deep impression to change the United States into the world and the issue of national equality into the issue of environmental protection in that sentence structure.
Therefore, Xiao Yao rejected the speech provided by the environmental planning agency, which was related to his own experience. Instead, he spent one night to produce an environmental protection version of Ihave dream.
On such an occasion as the world youth forum, it is not allowed to speak indiscriminately. All speakers'' speeches should be reviewed. As a goodwill ambassador of UNEP, Xiao Yao''s speech has to be checked by the people of UNEP.
When Xiao Yao put his speech in front of the relevant person in charge of the environmental programme, the people of the environmental programme opened their eyes in disbelief. The performance of the relevant person in charge of UNEP was due to the fact that the speech was beyond his expectation. Later, when it was submitted to the relevant person in charge of the world youth forum for review, there was no doubt that it passed.
Xiao Yao''s speech at the World Youth Forum was not delivered in front of countless people in an outdoor place such as the Lincoln Memorial Hall, as Martin Luther King did in his previous life, but in front of dozens of people in an indoor forum. The content and length of the whole speech could not be compared with that of Martin Luther King in his previous life. But on such an occasion, Xiao Yao, through his speech, successfully shocked many people at the scene.
An out of print speech is nothing special. At the world youth forum, there were not many youth representatives who gave speeches without papers, but it was not without them. Xiao Yao did not attract much attention when he walked on the stage empty handed. But Xiao Yao''s speech is not out of manuscript, but the content of the speech and his state in the speech. The whole process of the speech can be said to be full of sound and emotion. Especially when the opening paragraphs of "Ihave dream" came out, the eyes of all the people watching Xiao Yao''s speech changed. Before the end of Xiao Yao''s speech, some people on the scene couldn''t wait to give Xiao Yao applause.At the world youth forum, Xiao Yao was not the only youth representative who spoke, but in the middle of the speech, only those expert speakers who made lengthy speeches on various topics were applauded. Xiao Yao was the only one who made short speeches when he was a young representative. At the end of Xiao Yao''s speech, the applause on the scene was much more enthusiastic than others.
The world youth forum is divided into main forum and sub forum, with different themes, and lasts for a total of three days. Originally, Xiao Yao only made a speech at the sub Forum on the issues of environment, energy and gender equality, but the evening after his speech, the organizer told him to make another speech at the main forum the next day.
The next day''s speech, Xiao Yao''s speech time than the day before a few minutes more.
Xiao Yao knew that he was able to get such an opportunity because his environmental protection version of "I have a dream" had a very good effect, so he did not write another speech. Instead, he added some content to the speech of the previous day to adapt to the longer speech time. Of course, those "Ihave dream" paragraphs are the core of the speech. Xiao Yao will not easily revise them, but just add some content before and after the speech. With the previous version, Xiao Yao didn''t spend too much time to change it.
The next day''s speech, Xiao Yao''s performance is still very wonderful. Due to the larger number of people on the main forum and the higher degree of attention, the extended version of "I have a dream" caused more intense on-site reaction on the main forum.
During the world youth forum, the organizers will make relevant official records of the whole process, and some qualified media will also make records on the spot. So Xiao Yao''s two speeches were recorded with video materials.
After Xiao Yao attended the world youth forum, videos of his two speeches soon appeared on Huaxia''s Internet. When these two videos appeared on Huaxia''s network, they really shocked Huaxia''s media and netizens. Various media and netizens have reported, forwarded, evaluated and discussed the two videos of Xiao Yao''s speech at the World Youth Forum. The two videos not only spread rapidly on the Internet in China, but also appeared in the news programs of some TV stations.
In fact, there are many Chinese stars or celebrities who act as goodwill ambassadors in various organizations in the world, and they have participated in many world-class activities. However, there is no video of speeches and speeches made by any celebrities or celebrities in such activities, such as Xiao Yao''s speech video, which has spread so widely and so popular in China in such a short period of time.
On the one hand, it is Xiao Yao''s fame. For Huaxia, among the stars under 30 years old, Xiao Yao is definitely the one with the highest popularity in China. If we put him in the world, I''m afraid only a few international stars like Zhou Hu can surpass him.
Of course, another more important reason is the content of Xiao Yao''s two speech videos.
In these two videos, Xiao Yao''s speech is really wonderful. In particular, the speeches that begin with "Ihave dream" are just enlightening. No matter from the content of the speech, or from the expression of emotions, expressions and body movements, it can almost be used as a model textbook for making a speech. Just after these two speech videos spread, some experts in speech took Xiao Yao''s lengthened version of the speech video and made some serious analysis and comments.
The most important point is that the two videos are not only from some Chinese media participating in the world youth forum, but also from the official website of the World Youth Forum. In other words, the organizers of the World Youth Forum especially recognized Xiao Yao''s speech as the image representative of the World Youth Forum. This kind of treatment, but even many foreign top international stars have never had.
Even the officials of the World Youth Forum regard Xiao Yao''s "I have a dream" speech video as a facade and hang it on the official website. How can Xiao Yao''s speech video not be popular in China?
