my gilded age

Chapter 359 Citing classics, "Assembly" sets a box office record!
Domestic donations, including US dollars, are useless, but how can we spend them?

In addition, a charitable fund has its own operating model. To put it simply, the fund must make money, and only the money earned will be used for donations. The model is roughly like this.

Therefore, according to the public offering level of the 95 million fund, it is normal, even very normal, to donate [-] RMB so far.

Lian Jie didn’t think anything was wrong at all. Everything was done according to the procedure and everything was very good.

But this scene... was very cold, very cold, like the frost outside the window.

……

As soon as the number 95 came out, and it was still so high-profile, as if he was showing off his good results, it suddenly became interesting.

Originally, various media outlets, as well as the Internet and forums, were constantly posting chicken soup articles and touting them, but in an instant it seemed that the direction of the wind had changed.

"What the fuck! Only 95? Are you fooling this stupid boy?"

"Do you know how many people are affected by this disaster? Brother Lianjie, it's a good thing that the people of the country don't all rely on your billion-dollar fund!"

"I thought it was so awesome. Didn't I already raise [-] million? Is this a small donation now?"

"You still want to be shameless? Huh? What's wrong with this society? You still have the nerve to accuse Bai Shiqiu! Damn you!"

We are not fools. Although netizens are easy to be incited, they are also more likely to explode with emotions. Seeing the [-] million yuan fund they had previously practiced, they continued to criticize and ridicule Hongxing and Baek Shiqiu.

How is the result?

At least Bai Shiqiu got real money, and one of the things was exposed.

"I heard a news that someone from the crew of "Assembly" said that when Bai Shiqiu made this movie, he didn't get paid at all!"

"No salary? Then why did you say that Bai Shiqiu donated all his salary?"

"That must be a rumor... Could it be that this guy Bai Shiqiu used this excuse to donate money?"

"That's right! It's said to be remuneration, but it's actually money donated by Bai Shiqiu himself."

"If you think about it this way, isn't Bai Shiqiu a very good person?"

"How much did Bai Shiqiu and Hongxing donate?"

"No matter how much you donate, it's still more than 95 yuan. It just depends on their lineup, logistics, and online publicity. Isn't this money?"

Reversed, reversed!
Bai Shiqiu did get zero salary in "Assembly" before, but there was no publicity. In fact, all the actors in that movie almost didn't get much money, and many of them were just free.

When news like this comes out again, it turns out that this is how "Assembly" was filmed. The Internet and various media really can't say anything else.

All those who were sarcastic before shut their mouths, and got something else in exchange.

"Master, how long have you been driving?"

"It's been ten hours, so take a rest now and then move forward."

"Then you Dongxing Shopping..."

"There are no computers inside now. They are all wearing cotton clothes and shoes..."

Some reporters went on the road to conduct interviews, some went to the meteorological department, and some simply donated generously.

This scene will be transmitted in the shortest possible time, posted online or on TV.

Media reports are beginning to tilt towards Red Star's actions. After all, this is a hot topic at the moment, and we must see if Red Star has really done what they said.

It seems to be true.

Then, many reporters remembered that there was a benefit performance.

Magic City, Oriental Grand Theater, it is said that the charity performance lasts for half a month, not only singing and dancing, but also drama.

Bai Shiqiu said before that if we want to do it, we must do it big and well. We are indeed high-profile, but we must not forget the real materials.

He has used a lot of resources this time, and the momentum is indeed huge. Moreover, this benefit performance is relatively hasty. It can be done on a small scale. Our strength is not strong yet.

But unexpectedly, many media reporters came.

"Bai Shiqiu, can you tell me how you feel after this charity reversal?"

"Let's forget about the reversal for now. Let's talk about it. Why did you Red Star make such a high-profile donation in the first place?"

"Yeah, actually it's easy to be misunderstood with such a high profile."

These questions are really interesting. It seems that most of them still find it difficult to accept Bai Shiqiu's approach.

In fact, this situation is quite interesting. If you really do good deeds without leaving your name, a lot of people will come out and accuse this person of being stupid. If you leave your name, some people will come out and say that this is just for fame and reputation. If you do nothing, then it will He was accused of being cold-blooded, indifferent, and heartless and did not know how to repay society.

No matter what you do, you will be scolded and criticized. You can always find an angle, even though this angle may be strange.

Therefore, this time, Bai Shiqiu has already thought about it. As long as he takes action, he will never be able to escape and be criticized. So why not just do it more easily, let's do it openly, and let everyone know about it.

However, this cannot be said. He told the media a very interesting story.

"Old Bai, there is nothing special this time. I just respect the practices of the sages. Back then, Confucius once taught Zigong the way to do good. If you are interested, you can go find it out. That's all I can say."

Confucius taught Zigong to do good deeds.

After all, many journalists are cultural people. As soon as Bai Shiqiu said this, many people understood in their hearts and couldn't help but praise Baek Shiqiu for his great acting skills and high cultural level.

It's a pity that Zhang Mo is not here, if he was there, he would definitely sigh, you don't understand Lao Bai's pretentious skills at all.

In fact, Bai Shiqiu just accidentally pretended to be a cultured person.

"Everyone who is interested can watch the benefit performance."

Finally, let’s greet the guests. They are guests anyway.

This performance is basically all performed by people from Red Star, so of course the main singer of Red Star, Yao Pina, is indispensable.

God bless China~
God bless China ~ the wind and rain will not crush it ~
Bloom in suffering~
Sincerely pray ~God bless China~
May you be safe and prosperous~ May you live forever~
……

"God Bless China" is a song that is very suitable for this kind of occasion. Teacher He Muyang played it out for free and had nothing to say.

There are only 1800 people in this theater, but this time with the help of many parties, many talented people came. This song made many people burst into tears. "I'll donate!"

"I donate!"

Many viewers donated generously, and many people even found Bai Shiqiu.

"Bai Shiqiu, you should also come forward to set up a fund!"

"Yes! You come out to do it, and we all vote."

"I dare say that if Bai Shiqiu sets out to establish a charity fund, it will definitely be no worse than the Yiyi Fund. Even the name... How about the Second Fund?"

After one is over, it is two.

It's really surprising that there are such people who want to push Bai Shiqiu to start a fund.

But Bai Shiqiu had already thought about the fund. He smiled and said, "Actually, our country is not suitable for establishing charity funds, so I won't do it."

With just one word, he left in a carefree manner, and no one even stopped him, everyone knew he was busy.

However, everyone is thinking, is this still a response to Yi Fund?
A slap in the face with one move?

Just say that your stuff isn't good, it's awesome.

. . .

Red Star came out with practical actions, Bai Shiqiu used classical stories, charity performances, disaster relief donations, and various affordable things appeared on the Internet. The effect caused by this is not as simple as a plot reversal.

But there are still many articles on the Internet speaking for Yi Fund.

"95 is a normal donation. This is the operation mode of the fund. Some individuals in the country are just rubes and don't understand at all..."

"Yes, this is the common practice abroad. Do you understand what a fund is? It invests only the money it earns. Don't be ignorant and make people laugh. You must be in line with international standards."

The ones who came forward this time were a kind of creature called "public intellectuals". Many of them were originally speaking for the Billion Fund. They had been belittling the Red Cross before, bluntly saying that it contained filth, corruption, and lawlessness.

And now, how do netizens accept their statements?
"Damn it! I'm willing to be a bumpkin!"

"That's right! I have figured it out now. I would rather be deceived by myself than believe those foreigners!"

"What the hell, I don't like anything that is in line with international standards! I'm going to go see a movie right now, just watch "Assembly"! Bai Shiqiu and the others' donation was advertised, but I'll eat this advertisement! I'm happy with it!"

"That's right! To go to the movies, the box office is considered a donation, and it's not easy for Lao Bai and the others!"

There are so many online replies and messages like this that they seem like a tidal wave, as if no matter how clever they are, no matter how international they are, they are as if they are vulnerable to a single blow.

The snow disaster started on the 15th, and various disaster relief activities began around the 1th. Red Star's action was also at this time, while Billion Fund launched its attack two days late. In the current reversed state, time has already What time is it January 20th?

"Assembly" has been released for more than 30 days. To be honest, a movie like this is not good no matter how you watch it. No matter how high the quality is, what else can it do if it is about to be released?
January 1th is the last day for the release of "Assembly". As agreed before, it will be released for 30 days, so it's just right.

Bai Shiqiu, who had returned from the south after a long journey, appeared in the Red Star base area.

"How far is it?"

Pushing open the door of his office, and seeing the older ones warming up here, Bai Shiqiu couldn't help asking.

I'm anxious, why don't I be anxious?

Regarding the box office matter, Feng Xiaogang was also a little anxious, especially since he saw that the record might be challenged, so he came too.

"..." Looking at Bai Shiqiu, he shook his head.

Deng Chao was also there, looking at Lao Bai, his eyes were bigger, as if there were tears in his eyes.

The same goes for Baoqiang, who seems ready to cry at any time.

What's the situation?
"There's a big gap?" Bai Shiqiu felt nervous when she saw what that meant.

"Old Bai, don't be anxious, there's no point in being anxious." Zhang Mo's little eyes were very dim, and they would flash when nothing happened in the past.

"You, you..." Bai Shiqiu called Yu Dong before, but Ya's phone was turned off.

I started to panic.

how can that be possible?
I, Lao Bai, started things in such a high-profile manner, but it didn’t work out?
If I had known better, I would have raked in the box office.

It's too late to regret now.

At this time, Ma Li came over, looked at Lao Bai, and said affectionately, "Actually, we didn't lose this time. Our Red Star has also gained a great reputation. And, even if we lose, you still have me. Lao Bai~"

As he said this, he was about to come into Lao Bai's arms.

"Stop!" Bai Shiqiu quickly dodged.

"Ouch!" Ma Li almost fell over, "You idiot, why are you doing this!"

Bai Shiqiu was really upset at this time. Why did classmates Ma Li come out to do this at this time?
But at this moment, there was a pop!
Zhou Shen really couldn't help it. He studied directing, not acting. He usually only plays guest roles, but now...

"What's going on?!" Bai Shiqiu, can't you tell?
"Haha..." Zhang Mo endured it very hard and laughed.

"Damn it! Damn it, old Bai, we missed this time!" Deng Chao was very unwilling. The previous plan was good, but the result was not perfect.

"Brother, actually I don't want to act, they forced me." Baoqiang quickly clarified himself.

"You bastard, listen up! With 3.35 million, our "Assembly Number" surpassed "Golden Armor" by 500 million. Although it is thrilling, it still created a new box office record!" Feng Xiaogang was very excited.

Ma Li immediately hugged her and said, "Why didn't you come to me to act for you, you cruel thing?"

After speaking, he put out his flaming red lips, and kissed Lao Bai's cheeks.

At this time, Bai Shiqiu fully understood that the sentimental guys were seeking revenge on themselves, and they were really vindictive.

However, if the joyful mood cannot be suppressed, how can this anger arise? . .

　Thank you everyone!sincere gratitude!

　　Well, the donation figures of that year were not fabricated by black cars, there is news to check.No more words, let’s continue coding.
