This top guy is crazy!

"Crina, have you received Cheng's invitation?"

"Krina, will you attend Cheng's Gaza concert?"

"Krina, as the world's most famous female singer, what impact do you think Cheng Cheng's choice to hold a concert during the sensitive period of the Gaza conflict will have?"

"Krina, what do you think of Cheng Cheng's music?"

"Bert Evans questioned that 'the spirit of the Gaza concert is commendable, but the actual effect may be minimal'. As a singer, what do you think of the public's criticism of Cheng Cheng's 'humanitarian show'?"

"Rolling Stone magazine commented that 'Gaza concerts may both amplify narratives of suffering and consume tragedy'. What do you think?"

In Serbia, after an event, many media reporters surrounded Krina and handed microphones to her like guns and cannons.

Inevitably, Krina was asked about the Gaza concert.

In fact, it is not just Krina. In this sensitive period, almost all singers in Europe and the United States are facing such a position question: to support the Gaza concert or to oppose the Gaza concert.

Especially in Serbia, a pro-Israel country, many singers choose to use Hu in their responses in order to avoid trouble.

Because the entertainment industry in Serbia is controlled by the Hebrews, supporting the Gaza concert would undoubtedly offend the Hebrews and would deal a devastating blow to one's own career.

Although Serbia claims to be a democratic country where everyone has the right to vote and freedom of speech, in reality, they have implemented the most stringent ban on speech in support of Gaza refugees.

When the Gaza incident first broke out, many college students expressed their support for the people of Gaza online, but what they faced was being directly hacked, and their personal information and photos were hung on the screen of an advertising vehicle and played back and forth in the school.

Later, they were expelled from school.

You talk about freedom of speech, but where is the freedom of speech?
But explicitly opposing the Gaza concert is not an option either, because the majority of netizens around the world now stand on the side of the Gaza refugees.

Regardless of who is right or wrong between the warring parties, at least the civilians and children suffering in Gaza are not at fault, right?

So, now one thing has become a double-edged sword. It is not okay to support the Gaza concert, and it is not okay to oppose the Gaza concert. When facing the media, the best way to deal with it is to say that you will not attend the Gaza concert due to schedule arrangements.

But as for the Gaza concert itself, there is neither support nor opposition.

In fact, many European and American singers do this.

But a gentleman judges by deeds rather than intentions, so isn’t not noticing a form of silent opposition?
Krina said:

"First of all, I did receive an invitation from Cheng Cheng, and I am currently considering whether to attend the Gaza concert. In fact, I personally disagree with the statement that the Gaza concert may both amplify the narrative of suffering and consume tragedy."

The reporter couldn't wait to ask: "Krina, can you tell me specifically why you disagree? This is a question that everyone is very concerned about."

Krina frowned and said:

“In fact, the conflict in Gaza has been going on for almost two years now. The international community has been given enough time, but it still has not solved the problem and the people in Gaza are still suffering.

Cheng Cheng held a concert in Gaza. He is braver and more responsible than me. I admire him very much. He is a true musician.

I don't think he was deliberately putting on a show, and the Rolling Stone magazine's statement is untenable, because any charity gala or concert can be accused of "deliberately magnifying suffering" or "exploiting tragedy."

It would be truly apathetic if we turned a blind eye to the plight of the people of Gaza because we were afraid of being accused of this.”

The reporter asked:

"Aren't you afraid that you might bring yourself some unnecessary trouble by making such a public statement?"

Krina said:

"Originally, I hadn't decided whether to attend the Gaza concert, but now I have decided that I will attend the Gaza concert."

For a moment, all the reporters present were shocked and stared at her in amazement.

I can't believe Krina would make this decision!

When the news spread, people around the world were shocked.

In China, because Krina had publicly supported Jessica in the Serbian election and her personal stance was feminist, domestic netizens had some complaints about her. But because of this incident, domestic netizens instantly changed their views on Krina!

"Let's not talk about the past. At least on this matter, Krina did a great job!"

"It's too late. I want to apologize to her."

"Yes, she is the first heavyweight singer in Europe and America to publicly support Cheng Cheng, right?"

"How should I put it? Although Krina has various problems, you may hate her because of her feminism, you may hate her because she is a white leftist, you may hate her because she always writes songs about her ex-boyfriend, you may hate her because she is not motivated in her later years, but no matter what, at least she is not hypocritical, at least she is consistent in her words and deeds. The refugees in Gaza are also refugees, and she really wants to help."

"I am a fan of Krina. When people criticized Krina before, I didn't dare to say anything. I want to say that Nana has always been a very good person."

"Na has always had a half-bad reputation, but she's really good."

"Yes, she is a very nice person and has done a lot of charity."

"You can say you don't like Krina's songs, or her stance, but you can't deny that she is a nice girl, or her influence."

"I agree!"

“That’s good. With Krina’s support, more singers will definitely participate in the Gaza concert.”

“I can’t believe how amazing the lineup will be at the Gaza concert! I must get a ticket!”

Neon:

"Krina is a nice person."

"I can't believe that Krina actually decided to participate. What courage does that take!"

peninsula:

"Although many singers from our peninsula have decided to participate, Krina is European and American, and the pressure she faces is completely different. This is really amazing!" "As a celebrity, it's so cool for her to do such a helping hand. Now other European and American singers should follow suit! The Gaza concert is very meaningful."

Serbia:

"That's right, Krina stepped up for the Gaza concert. She's not just a singer, she's a hero. Ignore the naysayers, she did the right thing and showed the world what true courage is!"

"That's the kind of integrity that a public figure should have, it's amazing. Well done, girl!"

"She's using her fame for a noble cause! I've decided not to smear her for a year!"

Dijing.

At this time, everyone at Shinhwa Company was working at full capacity for the Gaza concert.

The lights in the company were on all night long; the conference table of the project planning team was piled with various documents and materials; the whiteboard in the office was densely covered with the concert schedule, guest information and various emergency response plans.

Every team member involved in the Gaza concert looked tired but also excited.

Because they realize that they are participating in a great cause that will go down in history.

Cheng Cheng had been fighting for a long time and had made dozens of phone calls in a row.

The same goes for Li Zhuo. She is the chief housekeeper and has the most control over everything.

She not only had to communicate with the transport company about the transportation of materials, repeatedly confirm whether the stage construction materials, sound equipment, food and water and other materials could arrive in Gaza on time, but also communicate with the security team to develop a detailed security plan.

At the same time, she also has to communicate with relevant departments of various governments, direct the publicity and promotion departments, and negotiate cooperation with major sponsors.

After a fierce competition, the sponsorship rights for the Gaza concert were finally won by TikTok International, Lemon Video, and Yueyanxuan Cosmetics.

The international version of TikTok gave 700 million, Lemon Video gave 500 million, and Yueyanxuan gave 300 million.

This is the first time that Douyin has sponsored Cheng Cheng's project. The last time Douyin competed for sponsorship rights was for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. At that time, Douyin spent 2 million to win the exclusive media cooperation for CCTV's Spring Festival Gala and also distributed 12 billion in cash red envelopes.

All in all, it’s 14 billion.

This time, Douyin plans to directly take out 20 billion in cash!
7 million is sponsorship fee, and the remaining 13 billion will be donated to the Gaza region with the help of the audience.

The reason why Douyin spent so much money is that the Gaza concert has a much wider coverage than the CCTV Spring Festival Gala! The Spring Festival Gala is national, while the Gaza concert is global! This is in line with the strategic planning of the international version of Douyin.

The same goes for Lemon Video and Yueyanxuan Cosmetics.

This is not the first time that these two companies have cooperated with Cheng Cheng. Cheng Cheng has even become the behind-the-scenes director of the two brands.

Yueyanxuan Cosmetics has grown from a small domestic brand to the top domestic cosmetics brand by Cheng Cheng. Now it wants to go global and hopes to open the door to the international cosmetics market with the global influence of the Gaza concert.
After gaining a foothold with the help of "Friends", Lemon Video now wants to go one step further and completely surpass Netflix to become the world's number one streaming media.

It can be said that the international version of TikTok, Lemon Video, and Yueyanxuan Cosmetics are all ambitious and want to take advantage of the rare opportunity of Cheng Cheng’s Gaza concert to make a big move.

In addition to the 1.5 billion yuan sponsorship fee, there is also material assistance from various brands.

Fike, a world-renowned sports brand, donated 50,000 sets of sports equipment, including running shoes, sportswear and backpacks, and also donated 5 million yuan to help the concert go smoothly and provide long-term assistance to the Gaza Strip;
Domestic electronics giant Rice Company provided 5,000 latest smartphones and 1,000 tablet computers, and donated 1 million yuan to contribute to improving education and medical conditions in the Gaza Strip.

Jiaduoduo, a leading company in the beverage industry, provided 200,000 bottles of drinking water and 100,000 bottles of fruit juice drinks.
Home appliance brand Hairui donated 2,000 refrigerators, 1,000 air conditioners and 500 washing machines.
Car manufacturer Wuling provided one hundred new energy vehicles and one thousand electric vehicles.
Kang Nai Fu provided 100,000 barrels of instant noodles and donated 200,000 yuan.
It can be said that almost all brands want to show up at this Gaza concert, not just domestic ones but foreign ones as well. On Weibo, official accounts of brands release updates about the concert in aid of Gaza every day.

Not to mention abroad, at least in China, Cheng Cheng's call has received a lot of support, and countless companies have responded, with the amount of sponsorship and material assistance continuing to rise.

Even official news platforms such as the People's Daily and CCTV reported on the grand concert in Gaza, calling it a "vivid practice of non-governmental forces in promoting the development of international humanitarian cause, and reflecting the responsibility of the Tianxia people in the face of humanitarian disasters."

After Cheng Cheng finished his phone call, Li Zhuo said:
"The media reported that Krina said she would attend the Gaza concert, and her management team has contacted us."

Cheng Cheng's eyes lit up. He had guessed before that Krina would participate, but he didn't expect that Krina would agree so decisively. Before he could even persuade her, Krina agreed on her own.

As expected, they are really “cute” white leftists.

Although they are annoying sometimes, sometimes they can really play a role.

Cheng Cheng asked: "What did they say specifically? Did they make any requests or ideas?"

Li Zhuo said: "They said that Krina herself agreed with the significance of this concert, so she was very determined to participate. Regarding the performance details, such as the arrangement of the songs and the requirements for the stage layout, they hope to discuss with us further. However, their attitude is very positive and they did not put forward any difficult conditions."

Cheng Cheng said:
"Okay, give me her contact information. I want to record a song with her."

The joining of Krina is undoubtedly good news.

She has a huge fan base all over the world, even larger than Cheng Cheng's. Cheng Cheng is more famous as a singer and actor in East Asian countries, in Eros, Japan, Peninsula, and Southeast Asia.

But in Europe and the United States, he is more known as a director and has a carefree personality.

He is more famous than his works.

But Krina has been famous for more than ten years and has fans all over the world.

Her participation will surely attract more attention to the Gaza Strip.

Moreover, her joining can bring a demonstration effect, offsetting the negative impact brought by Bert Evans and Cathy Page.

As expected, with the participation of the world's No. 1 singer, Krina, more and more European and American singers have expressed their willingness to volunteer to participate in the Gaza concert and want to contribute their efforts.

First, Alicia, a folk singer known for her unique voice, posted a long article on the social platform to express her sympathy for the people of Gaza and her support for the concert.

Soon after, the popular rock band "Night Walker" also announced their joining, and they said they would bring a shocking performance at the concert.

Subsequently, more well-known singers and bands responded, and the list became longer and longer.
At this time, there are only 22 days left before the opening of the Gaza concert, and the multifunctional venue built in Gaza is about to be completed. The Gaza concert that has attracted worldwide attention is about to begin. (End of this chapter)
