The star is legit but sick.

Chapter 710 An Artist with Both Virtue and Art - Xu Ye

After reading Xu Ye’s words, netizens were unable to laugh anymore.

You're so fucking rich!
If you think about it carefully, it is true.

In the past few years, not counting the songs written by Xu Ye, he has starred in several TV series.

These TV series are not of ordinary quality, they are all representative works that can be rebroadcast on TV over and over again.

Xu Ye is different from other stars. He first gained capital through singing and then went on to act in movies.

His company is almost solely responsible for the production of film and television dramas, and the bulk of the profits belong to him.

In addition to the TV series, there are also these movies, the leading actor in the tens of billions box office. According to the distribution of the film market, after paying taxes on these three movies, Xu Ye conservatively estimates that he has earned tens of billions, not counting the movies he wrote for other people.

Moreover, Xu Ye did not have any bad habits, nor did he live in a mansion or drive a luxury car. He could just spend the money freely, and apart from the company's operating costs, he would not spend much.

If you wake up and find that you only have 1 billion left, that would be a big deal.

However, everyone thought it was reasonable for Xu Ye to earn so much money, and no one thought it was too much.

All this money was earned by Xu Ye through hard work.

Those traffic stars can earn hundreds of millions a year. If someone of Xu Ye's level can't make that much money, it means there is a big problem with China's entertainment industry.

"I can't even imagine a billionaire making fun of me online."

"Dean, I don't really believe it. Let me see my strength at 50."

"You are actually richer than Wang Duoyu?!"

The patients at Huohua Hospital started joking in the comment section.

But it didn't take long before some people started to lead the discussion online.

"Xu Ye is so rich, but I haven't seen him donate money."

"There's something about buying smiles in his lyrics, which is all a lie. This guy is a miser. He doesn't even spend the money he earns on himself, so he definitely won't be willing to spend it on others!"

"I've seen this kind of star a lot. They say nice things, but they're actually reluctant to spend money."

There are quite a few people who say this, and it is obvious that some of them are just internet trolls.

In the entertainment industry, there are some donation activities. After all, celebrities earn a lot, and they have to donate when they encounter problems. Anyone who does not donate will definitely be scolded by everyone.

If I really didn't donate, I wouldn't dare to say anything even if I was scolded.

But this group of people's criticism of Xu Ye was really hitting a wall.

Before Xu Ye could speak, Ancheng University directly posted a Weibo on its official Weibo account.

"Last June, Xu Ye donated 600 million yuan to Ancheng University to establish the [You are all great] scholarship fund. Currently, the scholarship fund has helped many students from poor families, allowing them to concentrate on their studies. We will follow Xu Ye's advice and use this money to build the [Here will produce results] laboratory for scientific research..."

This Weibo post from Anjo University does not contain any emotional color, it just states a fact.

The post on Weibo became popular after it was published.

"Wow, you donated 600 million? Dean, you really dare to donate!"

"What a weird name for this scholarship. You are all good scholarships? I want to get a scholarship just for the name!"

"Ancheng University, are you sure the name of the laboratory should be called the Here Must-Produce Results Laboratory?"

"This crappy name was definitely given by Xu Ye, but I think it's good."

Everyone believed what Ancheng University said. Some students of Ancheng University only found out that it was Xu Ye who did it after reading the official Weibo.

"I thought the name of this scholarship was a bit strange at the time, but since it was donated by Xu Ye, it makes sense."

"I'm a graduate student, and I strongly suggest that a laboratory that will produce results should be built quickly!"

"I believe in science, and sometimes I also believe in metaphysics."

"When was it donated? How come I don't know about it?"

Following the announcement of the news by Anjo University, a charitable foundation also made an announcement.

"Last year, Mr. Xu Ye donated 400 million yuan to support education, the poor and the needy, and medical assistance, helping tens of thousands of people in need..."

The charitable foundations in this world are different from those on Earth. They are strictly regulated and every penny is guaranteed to be used for those who really need it.

After this news was announced, netizens calculated that the total donation was 1 billion yuan.

"No buddy, did you really donate 1 billion?"

"Dean, I beg you, can you buy yourself a luxury car? You can suffer for yourself, but don't make Xiao Xu suffer."

"Dean, I give in. You really deserve this money. I've bought the tickets for the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City". I'll go see it during the Spring Festival!"

"You didn't say a word after donating 1 billion yuan."

The netizens were really convinced this time, and the group of people who had previously criticized Xu Ye shut up and were unable to utter a word.

However, what these people did not expect was that Xu Ye posted another Weibo.

"I can't say I've kept silent. I spoke out today. I want to be low-key, but I can't. So, I'll organize a small event. You can tell me your wishes in the comment section. I'll pick a few wishes from the comment section and help you realize them. I'll check this Weibo from time to time."

When this Weibo post was published, netizens were shocked.

Xu Ye always does what he says, and he really wants to help everyone realize their wishes.

As for the first half of the sentence, it is a bit hurtful to those who had criticized Xu Ye before.

If it weren't for them, Xu Ye wouldn't be able to be so high-profile.

Xu Ye started preparing for the donation as early as the year before last after his two movies sold well.

He made his money by plagiarizing works from Earth. To put it bluntly, he was just a porter.

Since there is no way to transfer money to people on Earth, then just spend the money in this world and do something meaningful.

After some research, he found that the charity foundation in this world was indeed reliable, so he decided to donate. Otherwise, he would have to consider other ways to spend the money.

Donations to Ancheng University are used for academic purposes, and donations to the charity fund are used for the public. When there is money, we can continue to donate.

The donation must be kept low-key, otherwise there would be no opportunity to make such a wonderful appearance today.

This is much better than directly announcing his donation.

Soon, a lot of comments appeared under Xu Ye’s Weibo.

"Dean, I want a cell phone!"

"Buy me a suite, Dean!"

"My wish is to find a girlfriend, please help me realize it, Dean!"

At night, Xu Ye and Xiao Xu lay on the bed together, looking through the comment section and selecting a suitable wish.

"Dean, my wish is that you take the sakura singer Haruna Miyata to see "Drawing Sword"."

Seeing this netizen's comment, Xu Ye replied: "Good idea, when I meet Haruna Miyata, I will definitely take her to see it."

Xiao Xu hit Xu Ye and said, "You are sick, aren't you afraid of being beaten?"

Xu Ye got excited: "She dares to beat me? Then I have to awaken my bloodline."

The two continued to look down.

"My wish is to be with the girl I like. Dean, please help me."

Xu Ye replied: "A man is okay?"

I have to say that there are too many unreliable comments. After all, most of Xu Ye’s fans are not serious people.

Some netizens’ comments have nothing to do with Weibo; they are just here to watch the show.

Then Xu Ye saw another comment.

"Dean, come and beat me up, I want to change the car."

Xu Ye replied: "I don't want to be in the same class with Zhou Xiaohu."

Xiao Xu hit Xu Ye again.

"You are too mean."

This window is an iron window. Xu Ye continued to look down.

He certainly wouldn't fulfill just anyone's wish.

Some wishes are obviously nonsense, and some people come to ask for money even though they obviously don't need it. Xu Ye will ignore these.

The two of them flipped through it for a while and saw a comment.

"My grandma has been living in an old house. It's cold in the winter and hot in the summer. I want to renovate her room and install an air conditioner and a bathroom. I hope the dean can fulfill my wish."

The user also posted a photo in the comment, which was a very dilapidated rural house.

Xu Ye checked this person's Weibo homepage. He only had a few dozen followers and didn't share anything on Weibo. It also showed that the phone he used was an old model from several years ago.

Xu Ye sent a private message to this person.

"How much is it?"

This netizen obviously didn't expect Xu Ye to actually send him a message, and he replied after a while.

"Dean, is it really you?"

"No, I'm the dean's wife." Xu Ye replied.

Xiao Xu on the side reached out and hit him on the arm again.

Xu Ye chatted with this netizen for a while.

This netizen is called Wu Bing. His parents died early and he was raised by his grandmother. Because his grandmother was in poor health, Wu Bing later returned from another place and stayed there, taking care of his grandmother while working.

But where Wu Bing works, local wages are not high, and he is unable to afford to improve his grandmother's life.

When Xu Ye asked him how much money he needed again, Wu Bing said, "Ten thousand will be enough. I have saved some money myself."

"Send the QR code." Xu Ye said.

"Dean, are you really going to transfer money to me? You are not lying?" Wu Bing asked.

"I've spent 1 billion yuan, how can I afford your 10,000 yuan?"

Wu Bing made an embarrassed expression and said, "I will pay you back!"

Then he sent a QR code and Xu Ye directly transferred 10,000 yuan to him.

Not long after, Wu Bing sent a screenshot of the payment.

"Dean, I received the money, thank you!"

Xu Ye said: "Let me give you a suggestion. Short videos are very popular now. You can make a video of the process of renovating your grandma's house and post it on Douyin. I think you can accumulate some fans and make more money."

Wu Bing asked doubtfully, "Will this work?"

"You try it first, maybe someone likes to watch these. Don't do it with utilitarianism in mind, just treat it as a record of your life." Xu Ye said.

"Then I'll try it." Wu Bing said.

He then sent several more thank you messages.

Xu Ye didn't care. He picked out a few reliable and achievable wishes in the comment section and chatted with the other party.

Later, Xu Ye saw a comment.

"My wish is to see Xu Xuru alive!"

After seeing this comment, Xu Ye looked at Xiao Xu beside him.

Xiao Xu blinked and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Xu Ye threw away his phone, hugged Xiao Xu and got into bed.

"Fulfill the fans' little wishes!"

The next day, those netizens who received funding from Xu Ye shared their experiences on Weibo.

Wu Bing also posted a special Weibo post to express his gratitude.

After seeing this, netizens thought Xu Ye was serious about this!

"The dean is really ill, and he really means it when he takes action!"

"The dean was so warm that I cried."

"You are the idol of light. If all celebrities were like you, I would be a fan of you."

"If all celebrities were like Xu Ye, it would be a serious problem!"

"I would like to call the dean an artist with both virtue and talent."

Netizens also praised it in various ways.

This has made the popularity of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" continue to rise, and it has become the most popular movie during this year's Spring Festival.

When other people in the entertainment industry saw this news, they were all filled with questions.

There are people in the entertainment industry who donate money, but none of them donate as much as Xu Ye.

How come your money came from the wind?

Is it easy to make money?

If you say this is marketing, this kind of marketing method really cannot be learned.

Donating money is fine, but what about this last thing about helping fans realize their wishes?

Are you free every day?

Why bother with these fans?
And I helped them realize their wishes, so they should spend more money on me!
In the eyes of some stars, Xu Ye’s behavior is a disease, and a serious disease at that!

You are destroying the ecology of the entire industry, and you are raising the standard of a qualified star!

You'll make us look stupid if you do that.

But everyone is helpless.

Now Xu Ye's condition is getting more and more serious, and everyone is really afraid that Xu Ye will produce the variety show he mentioned one day.

It's your turn to conduct tax inspections. If another person comes and asks for a urine test, you'll be in trouble whether you go or not.

This is the top conspiracy, impeccable!

The heat of this matter gradually died down after a few days, but Xu Ye did not stop. Whenever he had time, he would still check the comment section to fulfill everyone's wishes.

The rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala programs also went smoothly.

Soon, it was New Year’s Eve.

In the morning, the Spring Festival Gala program team announced the program list.

Then netizens discovered that Xu Ye did not have a solo stage this year, but sang with Chen Yuxin.

The patients in Huohua Hospital suddenly became anxious.

"Dean, you only have one show this year and you're still slacking off?"

"Were you tired from last year's Spring Festival Gala? Are you planning to stand on the stage and listen to the songs this year?"

"Sister Chen can just sing by herself, there's no need for you to squeeze in."

One topic also became a hot search, the topic was "Sister Chen, thank you for your hard work."

This is also Chen Yuxin's first time to appear on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage, and Chen Yuxin's fans are quite happy.

Soon, Xu Ye posted a Weibo.

"It's a bit embarrassing. I never slack off during the Spring Festival Gala. Let's wait and see tonight."

The content of the Weibo post is righteous.

Netizens don’t believe it at all.

The main thing is that when Xu Ye and Chen Yuxin were singing together, neither of them was slacking off. No one would believe you if you said you weren't slacking off.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala officially began.
