Chapter 555: Replica of Lin Yutang (please give me a vote)(1/2)

Since 1984, the voices of the Y school in Xiangjiang society have gradually become lonely, and in contrast, the voices of the Z school have become louder and louder.

The public opinion storm launched by Tao Yushu using all resources was implemented very smoothly.

In just two days, there was a lot of news about her donation to provide disaster relief. With the "emergency call for disaster relief" issued by the mainland ZF in Yanjing, the people of Xiangjiang saw the urgency of the situation.

On the third day after Lin's Film went public, the opening ceremony of the movie "The Night Banquet of the Wealthy Family" was gathered in all directions.

This film, born specifically for disaster relief fundraising, brings together digital top screenwriters of Lin's Pictures. According to the efficiency of these screenwriters, it was not a problem to write a script in three days.

But Tao Yushu believes that even under the guise of disaster relief, we should not fool the audience at will.

Movies can be rough, but they must never be without sincerity.

In three days, the few of them only polished the script outline and the scenes at the beginning of the movie, and the rest could only be written and filmed.

In addition to the appearance of many celebrities, the opening ceremony of "The Rich Family Night Banquet" also attracted a large number of entertainment reporters.

Everyone knows that the movie has an unprecedented star lineup, so naturally I don’t want to miss the headlines.

"Andai Andy Lau, who do you play the male number in the movie?"

‘It doesn’t matter, it’s all for the mainland compatriots.”

"What role is Maggie playing?"

"I don't know, I haven't assigned a role yet, any role can be used."

After the lively interview, several celebrities hurriedly left the boot site. The most important job of entertainment reporters every day is to follow these celebrities and follow them directly.

There are a few small platforms built with simple stools on the streets of Causeway Bay, with loud and bustling people.

The table was covered with a white cloth and several fundraising boxes were placed on it.

There is a red font behind the table saying: Please donate enthusiastically! Donate to your fellow compatriots in the HD disaster area!

There is a speaker next to it that keeps playing: Please donate to our compatriots in China, so that good causes will lead to good results, please support us.

Andy Lau put on a yellow volunteer hat and worked hard to hand over the flyer in his hand.

"Please donate actively! I will contribute to my compatriots in the HD disaster area!"

"Support the mainland! Support the compatriots!"

Before him, this small fundraising site had been working all morning, and people stopped from time to time to offer their thoughts, but overall it was not lively.

When Andy Lau came here without concealing his description, many people passing by recognized him at once.

"Andy Lau!"

"It's Andy Lau!"

The excited people surrounded Andy Lau. He was not panicked, but instead sent the leaflets in his hands to these people one by one.

"Comrades in the HD disaster area need everyone's help, please support me!"

With the participation of celebrities, the fundraising site, which was originally a bit deserted, immediately became lively, and many people donated generously.

A passing white-collar worker took out money from his wallet and put it in a donation box. A student wearing a school uniform donated his lunch expenses. A street vendor counted a few of the change he had just earned-··

Outside the donor crowd, there was a man in white. His facial muscles couldn't control his twitching and his body posture was not very coordinated. He stood outside the crowd for a while.

Due to his physical condition, he wanted to take out his wallet from his belt, but it could be seen that it was very difficult.

Seeing the people next to him putting the money in the box in a constant stream, he couldn't help but become impatient.

With his efforts, he finally took out a 10 yuan paper market from his pocket and wanted to put it in the fundraising box with his hands trembling.

But the fundraising box was not big, and his hands were shaking violently. Seeing this, Andy Lau stepped forward and held his hand. The two of them threw the banknotes into the fundraising box together.

"Have you taken it? Have you taken it?"

Not far away, two paparazzi were stacking a bunch of people, just to facilitate colleagues to hold the camera and find angles to photograph Andy Lau in the crowd.

"I've photographed!"

The thin man who was lifted up shouted excitedly before being put down.

"The bonus this month is available!" The thin man was very satisfied with the photos he took and felt that it would definitely cause heated discussion.

"These celebrities are really enthusiastic. They are participating in charity movies and are here to raise funds again!"

After taking the photo he wanted, several paparazzi relaxed and started chatting.

"For the sake of the image."

"You can't say that, it's considered doing good things."

"Of course I know that it is to do good things, but to do good things with a purpose.

And with Mrs. Lin taking the lead, these celebrities can’t do it even if they don’t work hard!”

Speaking of Tao Yushu, the paparazzi had a bit of admiration in their tone.

For wealth and kindness, men are not as good as men. This time, all sectors of Xiangjiang society call on donations to the mainland, making Tao Yushu's image in the minds of Xiangjiang people a little taller.

The next morning, "Qingxin Weekly" was published. The cover was the picture taken by several paparazzi yesterday. Andy Lau smiled sunny and sincerely, holding the hand of a disabled person, and put a paper market into the donation box together.

The headline on the cover reads: "Disabled love for people with disabilities, Andy Lau's patriotism supports his country."

Once this photo was published, it immediately attracted the attention of many readers. It not only led to the magazine's sales rising, but also greatly improved Andy Lau's public image.

In the past two days, there have been many celebrities as enthusiastic about charity like Andy Lau, and everyone has received positive reviews from the media and all sectors of society.

But he is the only one who has taken all the benefits like Andy Lau.

On Sunday night, the "Huangjiang Performing Arts Industry Mobilization and Self-Forgetfulness Performance" held by Lin's Film and Television at Happy Valley Horse Event was held as scheduled.

There were many wealthy and celebrities invited to attend the show, and 500 performing artists took the stage to perform, and the enthusiastic audience also crowded the stands. It can be regarded as a grand event in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong for decades.

The whole performance was so rushed that there was not even a complete program list, let alone a rehearsal.

Everyone contributes money with money and strong efforts.

After singing a song, Andy Lau lay directly on the chair and staged a "big stone on his chest". After four hammers, the huge rock on his body was smashed.

Andy Lau looked painful, and he walked to the front of the stage on his knees. As soon as the microphone reached his mouth, blood flowed down.

This scene made the audience very worried.

However, at this moment, Andy Lau wiped the blood from his mouth and said, "The blood in his mouth is fake, but the friendship that blood is thicker than water is real. I beg everyone to donate enthusiastically."

His bleeding was thicker than water, and he raised 1 million yuan on the spot.

Cheng Long performed somersaults on stage, but because a wealthy man wanted to see him make somersaults, he said that he donated 50,000 yuan for every somersault, and Cheng Long turned seven in one breath.

Ke Shouliang performed the speeding performance, and the people who leaped through the people were all composed of stars present. This thrilling scene successfully raised 3 million charity funds.

Sylvia Chang went on stage to sing hard with her son who was less than one year old. The Beyond band sang a song "The Earth", which moved countless people on the scene.

A "Huangjiang Performing Arts Industry Mobilization Selflessness Performance" lasted for 7 hours. Celebrities performed hard, and the rich and famous people and audiences donated money.

By the end of the performance, the total amount of funds raised reached 34 million.

During this period, Mr. He, the King of Xiangjiang Tobacco, donated 34 million yuan, plus the donations received from the donation dedicated line that had been opened before the performance.

The total amount of donations raised by the selfless exchange performance reached HK$108 million, breaking the highest record for fundraising in charity activities in Hong Kong.

This unprecedented literary and artistic performance in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang also created terrifying ratings and listening rates.

TVB, Asia TV, Xiangjiang Radio, and Xiangjiang Commercial Radio, which are often competitive for users, have put aside their prejudices and cooperated to broadcast the performance.

The next morning, the headlines of major news media were unexpectedly occupied by the "selfless show" by the people of Xiangjiang no longer remembered that it had been a week, and they were baptized by the news about floods and charitable fundraising in the mainland.

But none of these matters. What is important is that the enthusiasm of the people to donate is indeed inspired.

In just one week, all sectors of Xiangjiang society donated HK$680 million to the HD flood.

For a city with a population of only a few million, this number is very exaggerated.

While the Xiangjiang society is worried about the HD flood, many countries and institutions in the international community have responded to China's ZF's call and extended a helping hand.

Gu B donated 17 million US dollars (materials), Bajstan donated 1.55 million US dollars, Kuwait T donated 1 million US dollars, Uzbek K donated 970,000 US dollars, Uganda D donated 900,000 US dollars---

The donation figures of Xiangjiang society surpass the sum of donations from many international countries to HD floods.

Lin Chaoyang was a little busy on this day.

In a blink of an eye, he has been back to Xiangjiang for more than a week, and most of his energy is devoted to promoting and fundraising for the HD flood, and he forgot that there is a column in the United States.

In the last week of June, The New Yorker published the first "Gift of Nature" in the series of articles "China on the Bite of the Tongue".

Robert Gottlieb, editor-in-chief of the New Yorker, wrote an editor's note for Lin Chaoyang's column.

In it, he wrote:

"Lin's understanding of food culture has reached a state that ordinary people cannot reach. In his writing, every food is given life.

Since their birth, they have included the historical and cultural genes of the local ethnic group and are a cross-section of a civilization with a long history.

Reading his articles is a pleasant treat, and I believe readers will agree with my point of view after reading them.”

Robert Gottlieb's praise of Lin Chaoyang was his personal opinion, but after the magazine was launched, it also gained recognition from many American intellectuals.

An article "Gifts from Nature" is about food culture, but in fact it is about life attitudes, social changes, historical development, rich meanings and lofty realm, which opened the eyes of these American intellectuals.

For the first time these people saw someone actually integrated food with culture, history and geography, creating an article that was completely different from ordinary food references.

After the publication of "The Gift of Nature", it has received praise from many readers.

In addition to the victory in word of mouth, this article also made the sales of "New Yorker" slightly improve.

Entering the 1980s, the peak moment of print media has passed, and even the glorious "New Yorker" has to face the decline in reputation caused by sales decline and readers' boredom.

William Sean, the former editor-in-chief, was in charge of The New Yorker for decades, and finally had to leave sadly for this reason.

Robert Gottlieb took over as editor-in-chief and maintained the original style of "The New Yorker", but also fulfilled the boss's profit requirements, and met readers' pursuit of freshness.

For several years, he has been walking on thin ice and opened a column for Lin Chaoyang. This decision is extremely bold for him and "The New Yorker".

As an elite reading for the Western intellectual class, "The New Yorker" has its own tone.

Robert Gottlieb was very confident in the quality of Lin Chaoyang's articles, but he could not guarantee that this style of articles would definitely be recognized by readers.
