my gilded age

Chapter 358 Disaster Relief Donations, I, Lao Bai, just want to be high-profile!
Just entering 2008, almost the whole country was looking forward to the arrival of the Olympic Games. However, unexpectedly, starting from the [-]th, a very bad and extremely bad weather appeared.

Snow disaster, a very big snow disaster swept across. What is particularly unexpected is that the main area hit by this snow disaster is the area south of the Yangtze River.

The south is hit by a snowstorm, which is really unexpected. The most important thing is that the south has poor resistance to this kind of weather. The north still has heating to support it, but the south does not.

The impact is huge and the affected area is wide.

When Bai Shiqiu came back from the United States, he encountered such a situation.

What should I do?
Donate, but there are many explanations on how to donate.

Capital City, Red Star base area.

Heating, at this time, seemed to be an invention of conscience. Everyone was huddled in the room, watching the heating, and discussing this donation.

Zhang Mo is the major shareholder, and his ideas and opinions are very important. He put forward his ideas very early, and he still sticks to them now.

"I said to the elders and comrades, our situation in the "Assembly" this time is very good. Now that there is a disaster, of course we have to help, and donations are necessary. But I thought about it, since we have donated , so it’s not too much to do a bit of advertising and publicity, right? Moreover, our "Assembly" is also going to challenge the box office record. This is the critical point right now. The heavy snow has actually affected our box office. What a great idea to make a little fuss about donations and add a rallying number!"

Zhang Mo's statement is actually very reasonable, and it is also agreed by many people.

Zhang Chen, who has been responsible for the main administrative work, thinks it is very good, "Indeed, this is a common method, every company does it. Moreover, we have all thought about the copywriting, 'The road ahead is windy and snowy, and the Red Star is rallying.' how?"

Don't tell me, just such a copywriting is really amazing. Donations and other activities, with such a paragraph, it doesn't say anything. Not only is it a donation for disaster relief, but our Red Star also has certain benefits.

It's like this these days. It's understandable to do charity to advertise yourself. After all, the money is donated, and it's only natural to gain a reputation.

Many people praised it.

"I agree." Zhou Shen nodded.

"This is so talented." Shen Teng laughed.

"This is a neat little word, not bad." Ma Li raised her hands in approval.

Other people from Red Star, such as Qianqian, Aiya, Tangtang, Mimi, Huang Bo, Wang Tian, ​​Wang Jingyan, etc. are also here, and they all think it's good.

It's really good.

However, Bai Shiqiu felt that there was something wrong with this.

"Let's keep it this way, I feel a little bad."

In fact, among all the people, Baek Shi-qiu is the one who sings the opposite tune. Of course, he is not the opposite.

Bai Shiqiu couldn't help but take out a cigarette and said, "Donations must be made, but you can directly use your name on it. Let me ask everyone, what should we do if someone attacks us? For example, let's put "Assembly Number" 》 was hung up, but this snowstorm is very serious. Some compatriots died due to the snowstorm. Will someone attack us for eating bloody steamed buns? Will someone attack us for making the country difficult to make money? At this moment, Everyone is trying to find a way to make money. Isn’t this morally too low? Aren’t you afraid?”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused everyone's thinking.

Yes, there must be such a saying, and the Red Star is currently on the cusp of the storm. Many eyes are staring at it, and many people are ready to take action against them.

In the Lunar New Year period, three movies have exceeded [-] million yuan, and they have won consecutive battles. Your star's popularity is too strong.

Everyone knows that any tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Now that there is such a natural and man-made disaster, shouldn't we donate?
"Lao Bai, what do you mean, we will shrink this time? Don't donate?" Zhang Mo said with squinted eyes.

Bai Shiqiu said immediately: "Of course it's impossible not to donate. If we don't donate, we will be scolded even worse. What I mean is very simple. Are you ready to be scolded? If you are not ready, it doesn't matter. I Come and carry it!”

Shall I carry it?
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little confused and stared at Bai Shiqiu.

"Who is Bai Shiqiu?" Before anyone could answer, he, Bai Shiqiu, said to himself: "I, Bai Shiqiu, am an arrogant big star. I, Bai Shiqiu, won the Best Actor Award at Cannes a long time ago. I am arrogant and stir up trouble everywhere. I, Bai Shiqiu, cannot keep a low profile, and I am so high-profile that I am hated by others! That’s great, I, Bai Shiqiu, will be hated by others, and everything will be blamed on me. This donation was made by me, Bai Shiqiu, for our "Assembly Number" "With donations from the crew and high-profile publicity, "Assembly" will definitely break the domestic box office record!"

This was Lao Bai's method, he took it all on his own.

High-profile, indeed high-profile enough, but all the scolding was attributed to him.

After everyone listened, no one spoke for a while. Qianqian and Aiya looked at Lao Bai, with many things in their eyes.

Zhou Shen suddenly said at this time: "Old Bai, what do you mean? We all know that you are high-profile, but why do you need to come out and do this now? I'm afraid this is not just to bear the infamy for everyone, right?"

Bai Shiqiu said with a smile: "Lei Feng is no longer popular these days. If you do good deeds and don't leave your name, you will be scolded. So, why don't we do the opposite and leave our name, a big name, a high-profile name! This is what I think. So, there is an advantage. I, Bai Shiqiu, may have a bad reputation, but if I mess it up like this, it may attract a lot of people to donate money and join our actions. Do you think this is possible? But, there are also risks. , or maybe there are more curses, so I will bear the risk, it is better for me to be alone."

This is thought-provoking.

Lei Feng is no longer popular. That’s right. There are so many voices questioning Lei Feng’s spirit on the Internet right now. He does good deeds without leaving his name but is criticized as a fool.

And what Bai Shiqiu said makes sense. With his reputation, if he can inspire more others to donate, it will be a great success.

but……

"Old Bai! You don't want to do this! It's because you want to be more famous! I'm not as good as you! I want to be famous! At least add my name Zhang Mo!" Zhang Mo seemed like Indignant.

Bai Shiqiu did not refute, but was very happy.

In this way, many people understand it.

"Count me in!"

"That's right! We're all here, why are you talking so much!"

"Be high-profile! Everyone be high-profile!"

One by one, they all came.

Bai Shiqiu was really moved. He knew that his good brothers were all interesting enough, so he might as well just do it.

"If we want to do something this time, we should build a big one, do practical things, and join forces. What we can use now is Penguin's network, Dongxinggou's logistics, and we have to spend real money..."

After saying this, it turned out that Lao Bai really wanted to make a big deal, and everyone was excited.

But in fact, there is one thing that Bai Shiqiu did not say, that is, this disaster relief donation may not be that simple.

……

Time flies by and it is already the second half of mid-January. The snowstorm situation is getting worse and worse, and many people have taken action.

"Baek Shiqiu announced that he will donate all the remuneration from "Assembly Number", and the amount is conservatively estimated at more than 500 million." "All the stars of Red Star Film and Television donated money together, and the materials were distributed through Dongxing Gou..."

"A major snowstorm, a rally call from all directions..."

"Penguin Network will conduct a full live broadcast of this donation event..."

Red Star's donation was made with great fanfare, and the scene was really big.

And not long after, there was a normal voice of criticism, and this voice was quite interesting.

"I think things should be simple. The area affected by the disaster is so wide and there are so many compatriots. I really can't think of why we should do any joint publicity at this moment. This is very shameless... …We at Yiyi Fund will never do this, we just make a simple donation, and that’s fine.”

On TV, Lian Jie was being interviewed. He was in high spirits and talked eloquently about the current affairs.

"Mr. Lianjie, may I ask, is your Billion Fund one..." The host over there had to continue asking.

"Our Billion Fund is the first private public fund in China, which is used for charity."

"So, how much money has Billion Fund raised so far?"

"The situation is very good. There are many wealthy people participating in Hong Kong alone, and there are also two Mr. Wang from Huayi in the mainland. At present, our [-] million fund has lived up to its name, exceeding [-] million!"

"Wow, that's great!"

This exclusive interview was obviously meant to talk about disaster relief donations, but it also had the intention of promoting the Billion Fund, which is quite obvious.

However, it was very clear that it was aimed at a very high-profile domestic star, which naturally triggered a lively discussion.

"Baek Shi Qiu is going too far! Donate just donate, why do you need to do any publicity at the same time?"

"Yes, didn't you just donate the salary from the film? I won't tell you about the film. If I don't tell you, I won't promote it for you!"

"Baek Shi Qiu took this opportunity to enrich the country! He didn't care about anything for the sake of the movie! Bastard!"

A fierce supply quickly started on the Internet, and many netizens were also attracted.

Everyone seemed to understand that Bai Shiqiu wanted to use this snowstorm to promote "Assembly", and as a result, Red Star was also affected.

But fortunately, after all, Bai Shiqiu and Hongxing have many fans, and there are also many sober people.

"Isn't this what corporate donations are all about now? They all have to do a lot of advertising."

"Yes, it's all like this. There's nothing wrong with it. They spent real money. At least they did something."

"There is nothing wrong with promoting it, and the movie "Assembly" is also very good. I recommend it!"

A heated argument soon ensued, and the two sides fought with great joy.

Faced with such a situation, some people are in the posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

"Brother, do you think that Bai Shiqiu is stupid? How can he come out at this time to risk the disgrace of the world?"

"It's pretty. He's so smooth now. If it were you and me, I'd probably be even more pretty."

"Haha...that's right, that's right."

"The two of us, let's take a good look. This time, that girl will definitely feel uncomfortable."

"What about the navy?"

"It has nothing to do with us. It seems that billionaire fund is pretty good at it and knows how to create public opinion."

The Wang brothers are happy now, waiting to see Bai Shiqiu's jokes.

And all kinds of weird trolls on the Internet are constantly throwing out various truths, and for a while, the pressure of public opinion is extremely high.

Where is Bai Shiqiu?

Of course he is providing disaster relief now, and he also raised funds and flew from the capital to Shanghai to prepare for a charity concert.

Of course, many singers under his banner, Yao Baina, Tan Weiwei, Boy Boy, Wang Feng and others will definitely appear.

However, he was blocked by the media as soon as he got off the plane.

"Mr. Bai Shiqiu, many people now accuse you of taking the opportunity to make money in the country. How do you respond?"

“Did I make a donation?”

"This... Then Mr. Bai Shiqiu, the Yi Fund has publicly stated that it will not be as high-profile as you, how do you respond?"

"They are still not high-profile? Then may I ask, did I donate?"

"This... okay, let me ask again, what do you think of Yi Fund?"

Bai Shiqiu was asked endlessly, and finally had to say: "I am very busy now, and I can't care about others. I can only say that this time I tried my best to help. The resources currently used, and all aspects, at least It’s over [-] million, and our next charity performance is also real. I am an honest person. As for what others say, it doesn’t matter. I did my own. In addition, I just want to ask, Billion Fund How much did you donate?”

The reporters who said this didn't know what to do, and they couldn't bear to disturb Bai Shiqiu's footsteps. Moreover, everyone began to think about what Bai Shiqiu said.

How much did the Billion Fund donate?
What’s interesting is that the answer came out very quickly. The billionaire fund held a big event and invited a lot of media to attend. Then at the scene, he was very happy and made a high-profile announcement.

"Our Billion Fund donated 95 yuan to this snow disaster!"

As soon as this number came out, many reporters were dumbfounded, and some even asked about it.

“Is this USD or RMB?”

"It's US dollars, right?"

This time he was confused because of the change of practice, but he still smiled and said: "Of course it's RMB."
