Full-time actor

"My heart aches for you—"

Chen Yu took a deep breath; he felt sorry for every character in the film.

No one can watch it calmly.

Just like when he was filming.

Whenever a tragic moment arrives, I have to suppress my emotions to prevent myself from losing control on the spot.

The previous life.

He had visited the site of the Tangshan earthquake, where the families of survivors were buried beneath the ruins.

Just thinking about what happened to the victims made his heart ache.

"Especially when I saw the end credits, I couldn't calm down at all."

This statement undoubtedly piqued the curiosity and anticipation of media reporters; it was just a trailer, yet it already elicited such a strong reaction from everyone.

The film will surely resonate with audiences when it is released.

Matrix Partners proceeded with the press conference agenda.

After the routine Q&A session, the next segment will be the media interviews.

"Director Chen Yu, your film 'Aftershock' is about to be released, but Yushu is currently experiencing a disaster. Do you have any specific plans for the future?"

The reporter from The Beijing News was the first to ask a question.

Everyone is aware of the recent rumors and gossip circulating online.

Basically, the discussion revolves around Chen Yu's investment in earthquake zone reinforcement projects.

If it weren't for him, Yushu would have suffered heavy losses this time.

Chen Yu cleared his throat.

I already guessed that the media would ask this question.

"Upon learning the news yesterday, Yu Xin donated 500 million yuan to Yushu in the name of the film crew."

The words had barely left his lips.

The entire room fell silent for a moment, then erupted in chaos just moments later.

500 million!
Or in the name of the film crew?

How much does he personally have to donate?

The media reporters present were utterly shocked.

Wenzhou donated 20 billion at the time, so this time it will surely be no less.

now.

Chen Yu's casual remark about 500 million yuan directly ripped away the fig leaf from the entertainment industry.

Many celebrities receive high salaries but are unwilling to contribute to disaster relief efforts.

present.

The emotions spread throughout the audience; while they were shocked, they were also deeply moved by Chen Yu's righteous indignation.

Chen Yu has always been doing practical work.

Whether it's leading Chinese films to break into Hollywood or undertaking earthquake relief projects, he has always been at the forefront.

This is truly remarkable.

The media reporters at the scene were making a great fuss, and even all the main actors and crew of "Aftershock" turned their attention to where Chen Yu was.

Chen Yu did not disclose the news of the donation to Yushu to them.

perhaps.

If it weren't for the media reporters asking this question, Chen Yu would never have had the intention of making it public.

Chen Yu did not show much emotion in response to the reactions of the crowd.

He had discussed this matter with Liu Yifei.

The 500 million yuan went to the production crew's account, while Yu Xin had already donated 10 billion yuan for disaster reconstruction yesterday.

Liu Yifei has always wholeheartedly supported Chen Yu's ideas.

It's truly admirable that her fiancé is so concerned about the disaster area.

As for the company's working capital, they had already taken stock of it at the beginning of the year.

After deducting the costs of filming "Joker" and "Mulan," almost all of the remaining funds were used for earthquake zone reinforcement projects and post-disaster reconstruction.

Regarding this matter...

They have no regrets!
It is an honor for them to be able to do their part for the disaster area.

Seeing Chen Yu sitting calmly in the same spot.

The people present remained silent.

What more do they need to ask? All those rumors and gossip online have been debunked at this moment.

Who can achieve what Chen Yu did?
It's no exaggeration to say that...

Looking back ten years, it's hard to find someone as selfless as Chen Yu.

Jingwei looked at Chen Yu.

At this moment, the man before me was radiant with light.

Click!Click!
The sound of camera shutters echoed throughout the venue. No one spoke much more at that moment, after all, it was truly not easy to achieve what Chen Yu had done.

The press conference is nearing its end.

The last piece of news will be announced next: the release date of "Aftershock".

Chen Yu chose to go straight to the point and directly announce the final release date.

In the previous life, Feng Xiaogang and his team prioritized the release date of July 28th, and when filming began, they made ambitious statements, starting a one-year countdown to the release.

However, what happened next...

Because July 28th is the anniversary of the Tangshan earthquake, a day that would be unbearable for many victims' families, the release date was ultimately changed to July 22nd.

Some of Feng Xiaogang's remarks at the time aroused dissatisfaction among the audience.

Especially the original quote, "I am a lonely seeker of defeat, and no one can surpass me," is somewhat unsettling and has even been used to exploit the victims' suffering.

As for Chen Yu...

He abandoned all his previous practices and did not treat the film "Aftershock" as a tool to make money.

For him.

Such a profound and meaningful film should serve as a wake-up call for everyone.

Jingwei didn't say much.

She couldn't describe her feelings at that moment.

He gently folded a corner of the process card in his hand, then nodded seriously.

"Next is what we are most concerned about."

"Now, please welcome our director Chen Yu to announce the specific release date of 'Aftershock'."

Jingwei faced the media section, her slightly red eyes testifying to the emotional turmoil she had experienced that day.

No one can remain unmoved by it.

This is not just a movie, but the suffering of millions of people in the face of earthquake disaster.

While they were holding their press conference, victims were still struggling in Yushu.

That feeling of empathy is truly unbearable.

Upon hearing Jingwei's words, Chen Yu looked at the media reporters present.

"Aftershock" will be officially released on July 22.

"Before that, we will hold a premiere for 7 people on July 12. We hope everyone will support us then."

Chen Yu paused.

His gaze swept over the numerous media reporters below the stage.

"July 28th marks the 34th anniversary of the Tangshan earthquake. I hope that through this film, everyone will have the opportunity to remember and commemorate our victims."

That's a sincere statement.

For everyone, it simply means showing 100% sincerity.

As for why the release date wasn't set for July 28th, everyone present knew the reason perfectly well.

after all.

Releasing a disaster film on the day when a compatriot is killed would undoubtedly offend the victims' families.

They were already under tremendous psychological pressure, and then they had to force themselves to accept this pain.

to the end.

Not only will it fail to serve as a warning, it may also have a backlash effect.

It must be said that Chen Yu's arrangement was absolutely well thought out.

Time flies, and the press conference for "Aftershock" is coming to an end.

The media reporters present showed no intention of leaving. For them, today's press conference was more than just a simple event; it had given them a direct understanding of the true meaning of life.

Some people's unwavering commitment is never just talk.

Chen Yu, Liu Yifei, and others have returned backstage.

For about an hour, they were under the watchful eyes of the media reporters, and they dared not make any excessive moves.

At this sensitive time, it is essential to be cautious in one's words and actions.

"I go!"

"Brother Yu, you're amazing!"

"500?"

Lu Yi looked at Chen Yu. Donating a full 500 million yuan in the name of the film crew was simply unbelievable.

As soon as Lu Yi spoke, Wang Jingchun and the others came over.

Putting everything else aside, Chen Yu's act of doing good deeds anonymously truly impressed them.

If someone else had done this, it would probably have caused a huge uproar immediately.

This is not something they are making up.

From yesterday until now, almost every industry professional who donated to the Yushu earthquake relief efforts has made a point of posting their donation information on Weibo.

They completely treated this disaster as a staged performance.

Compared to those who spend 10 or 20, Chen Yu's extravagant spending is truly astonishing.

"I just did what I was supposed to do."

Chen Yu did not dwell on this issue for long; he never needed to use such topics to embellish his reputation.

Seeing that Chen Yu did not discuss the matter further, the others present wisely refrained from speaking.

As for now.

The entire internet is buzzing with excitement.

The release of the first trailer for "Aftershock" was not broadcast live, so the only way to learn about the content of the event was through press releases issued by media reporters.

The Yushu earthquake touched the hearts of the film crew; Chen Yu, representing the production team of "Aftershock," donated 500 million yuan to the disaster area!

[Tears flowed on set as the first trailer for "Aftershock" focuses on traumatic moments!]

[23 seconds, 32 years: The tear-jerking trailer for "Aftershock" brought tears to the eyes of the cast and crew!]

[“Mom, I’m your child too!” Child star Zhang Zifeng asked tearfully, bringing Yongmei to tears on set!]

[Release Date Announced! "Aftershock" will be released on July 22nd!]

In a short time.

The first trailer for "Aftershock" caused a sensation across the internet.

Besides the anticipation for the film's content, the biggest shock came from Chen Yu's donation of 500 million yuan in the name of the film crew.

This doesn't even include his personal donations.

To know.

When the Wenzhou earthquake struck, Chen Yuke spent a whopping 20 billion yuan on post-disaster reconstruction.

When it comes to matters of national importance, Chen Yu never backs down.

In particular, he never boasts about what he has done.

"This is true service to the people!"

"500 million? 'Aftershock' hasn't even been released yet, and Brother Yu has already donated 500 million?"

"How much did Brother Yu personally donate?"

"The assessment is complete, and I believe it's only more than expected."

"This is absolutely the ceiling! I saw the donation amounts yesterday, and the highest individual donation was 100 million."

“Shut up, haters. Our Brother Yu does things openly and honestly. He has never backed down on matters of principle.”

“Huayi, such a large leading company, only donated 100 million yuan.”

"This time, we must make sure our brother Yu earns this money back to support 'Aftershock'!"

Immediately, netizens joined the discussion.

From the moment the Wenchuan earthquake began, Chen Yu demonstrated his sincerity.

Countless people have insulted and slandered him. Even though it was "Aftershock" that was first approved, people still slandered him.

They say he's unscrupulous in his pursuit of money, reopening old wounds and exploiting victims.

At the time, it sparked countless insults.

However, Chen Yu never appeared to explain himself when faced with criticism from everyone.

He just quietly did what he had to do.

This is something that cannot be ignored.

The headlines on major portal websites were incredibly popular, with everyone speculating about how much Chen Yu had donated in his personal capacity.

Some people even compared Chen Yu to celebrities in the entertainment industry.

After all, when the Yushu incident happened, most people donated 100,000 to 200,000 yuan.

Chen Yu's offer of 500 million clearly widened the gap.

***
"Oh shit!"

"He really stole the show this time."

Wang Zhonglei tossed his phone onto the sofa. Feng Xiaogang sat silently to the side. They were discussing the release of "If You Are the One 2" when, unexpectedly, the internet was flooded with promotions for "Aftershock".

especially.

Chen Yu donated 500 million yuan to the Yushu earthquake relief effort in the name of the "Tangshan Earthquake" film crew.

What's your rush?

Wang Zhongjun raised an eyebrow and looked at his younger brother.

These words caused the person in front of him to frown.

“He’s already trampling on our heads.”

"Look at what everyone on the internet is saying. We donated 100 million yuan and didn't get anything in return. Instead, we were scolded mercilessly."

Chen Yu's donation of 500 million yuan undoubtedly raised the level of donations in the entertainment industry.

After this, celebrities who want to donate will probably have to think twice.

Isn't this perfect?

"Everyone was originally around the 20 mark."

"If someone suddenly makes a high-profile donation of 500 million, do you think others in the industry will thank him or hate him?"

Ok?
After hearing his older brother's explanation, Wang Zhonglei's brows relaxed.

He was so angry just now that he completely forgot about the situation.

That's right.

His high-profile actions are a case of reaping what he sowed, putting those who have already donated in a very difficult position.

Next.

They don't even need to do anything; it will inevitably cause resentment among the people.

Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but laugh.

As for Feng Xiaogang, he hadn't fully gotten his revenge on Chen Yu for the humiliation he suffered before, and this time he wanted to see the scene of everyone kicking him while he was down.

but--

They probably forgot one thing: Chen Yu had already set an example during the Wenchuan earthquake.

His current actions will not attract public criticism.

After all, Chen Yu had provided generous assistance in both of the earthquake disasters.

Wang Zhonglei and his group clearly failed to recognize the problem and were eager to bring down Chen Yu, but they ended up losing more than they gained.

As for the parties involved in the topic.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei had already returned home. Liu Xiaoli and Shen Xiaoqin had prepared dinner and were waiting for the whole family to arrive.

Today, Chen Peidong brought both families together.

Since Chen Yu and Liu Yifei rarely come back, they definitely need to spend as much time together as possible.

"Come here! Nephew-in-law."

I must toast you.

Liu Xiaodong raised his glass, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Chen Yu. They already knew what Chen Yu had done, and at this moment they could only feel proud of him.

Looking at the entire entertainment industry.

People with such courage are few and far between! (End of Chapter)
