New Age Artists

Chapter 396: Millions of Visitors, Billions of Glory (33)

2 month 17 day.

Santong Entertainment, together with Huayi Brothers, Guangxian Media and Poly Berna, held a charity performance entitled "Natural Disasters Are Cruel, but There is Love in the World".

Provide disaster relief for the snowstorm and raise funds for reconstruction.

The performance was originally scheduled to start at 3pm, but by 8am more and more people were attending.

Some people with buzz cuts came to help on a voluntary basis.

Shen Santong was quite happy: "There are so many people. More people means more money can be raised. Let's start early."

This performance adopts the format of a concert, with a fixed ticket price plus voluntary donations. The ticket price is set at 50 yuan and tickets are sold on site.

Good location prices are relatively high.

The pricing mainly limits the number of people, there is no threshold, there are too many people.

There are enough artists, the performances never stop, and the audience flows in and out in batches.

It started early at 10 o'clock and was full at 11 o'clock, with people still coming in from outside.

Shen Santong began to worry.

After rapping "Don't Bite Me", he went off stage to take a break.

Shen Santong quickly went to the main control room to check the situation and communicated with all parties: "Start limiting the flow of people, so that everyone will not wait any longer. There are many ways to show love, and you can participate in other ways."

"Security checks must be done well, and all channels must be kept clear of traffic. Ambulance personnel must also be available."

"People wearing brightly colored clothes must be deployed at key locations to maintain order, and those who leave must not be allowed to return."

By three o'clock in the afternoon.

The originally scheduled performance time actually lasted for five hours.

The first audience had left more than three hours ago.

The number of visitors was 200,000, reaching the number of people who registered online.

The stadium presented a very exaggerated scene, with people entering and leaving the stadium taking place at the same time.

Outside the stadium, two blocks have been controlled, and the exit and entrance are the same, one in and the other out.

Shen Santong was numb, his throat became hoarse, and he poured water into his mouth casually, and said anxiously: "We must maintain order outside the venue, and the audience inside the venue must reduce the number of viewers and leave in one hour."

"Explain the situation to everyone, arrange for those who are unwilling to leave, and continue to call on them not to enter again."

A man and a woman came over and said, "Director Shen, is there anything we can help you with?"

Shen Santong asked in surprise: "Teacher Liu Huan, sister, why are you here?"

According to Hong Kong people, Liu Huan and Na Ying are the former top singers or representative figures in the mainland music scene.

There were various controversies about Na Ying in later generations, but she was indeed the number one actress in mainland China.

Only after she got married and announced her temporary retirement from the entertainment industry did Han Hong take over and become a representative figure of the new generation of music.

Li Huan's successor is Sun Nan.

Liu Huan said: "Let's come and help. More people will help. You have created a big scene."

Shen Santong smiled bitterly: "That's great. I was trembling with fear, really afraid that something might happen."

Liu Huan and the eagle seemed to be a signal.

Many people who were not in the plan also joined in.

Sun Nan, Han Hong, Tan Jing, Han Lei, Sun Yue, Zhou Xiaoou, Pang Long, Wu Yanbin, etc.

The scale is not just exceeding expectations, but far exceeding expectations.

From the scale of a company's annual meeting, it has grown into a grand show for the domestic entertainment industry.

It started at ten in the morning and continued until ten in the evening.

The venue can accommodate 60,000 people, but when the crowd left, there were still tens of thousands of people.

Fortunately, those waiting outside started to be persuaded to leave after six o'clock, and finally there was no one left.

Shen Santong's voice became hoarse.

Prepare seven songs, including "Dimple" with Tang Yan, "Thousand Miles Away" with Zhang Jingying, as well as "My Sky", "Ordinary Road", "What Can I Use to Keep You", "Misplaced Time and Space", and "Mom and Dad".

Two diss songs, "Don't Bite Me" and "Until Total Victory", will not be performed.

However, too many people requested these two songs, so they were sung the most.

The night sky is silent.

The stadium was still packed.

The performance came to an end with Luo Dayou's classic song "Tomorrow Will Be Better".

Gently wake up the sleeping soul

slowly open your eyes
Look at the busy world

Are you still spinning alone?

The spring breeze does not understand the style
blow the young heart
Let the tears on yesterday's face
Dried with memory
Look up and find the wings of the sky
Migratory birds show their traces
Bringing famine and merciless war from afar
The news still exists

The song is over.

Shen Santong led his men to leave, and his tense mind finally relaxed.

Let the leader give the summary first.

He also asked Wang Zhongjun and Wang Changtian who were present to say a few words.

Let Liu Huan say a few more words.

Then Shen Santong spoke, his voice completely hoarse as he spoke: "Wow! I was injured while singing for the first time, and I'm afraid it will be the last time. I'd better just be a director."

The audience laughed.

Shen Santong said: "Thank you everyone, thank you to the relevant departments for your support and cooperation, thank you to all the security personnel and volunteers, and thank you for your participation."

"Thank you!"

"I originally just wanted to turn the annual meeting into a charity performance. Public figures should shoulder their due responsibilities. This is what we should do."

"It's just that everyone is so amazing, and many of our predecessors are also so amazing. Thank you, Teacher Liu Huan."

Shen Santong pointed at the big screen and said, "We have done something amazing together. 530,000 people entered the venue, and more than 500,000 people donated money and left. More than 1 million people."

"We have raised more than 102 million yuan in disaster relief funds. I, Shen Santong, promise that all expenditures of this money will be announced online. I hope everyone will supervise its use."

"It is very memorable to be able to gather so many people. The leader just said that it shows the fine tradition of our Chinese nation that when one side is in trouble, all sides will support it."

"All good things must come to an end. Thank you. The show is over. Thank you."

Shen Santong felt completely relieved only after he had seen off all the audience and performers.

Twelve o'clock at night.

Shen Santong took a group photo with representatives from all parties and volunteers.

We had a meal together and drank half a bottle of white wine, which was rare. I would like to thank all parties for maintaining order.

I didn't get home until after three in the morning.

Shen Santong was drunk and fell asleep while holding Tang Yan. Too tired!
Early the next morning.

The charity performance made headlines on major news outlets.

《A record-breaking 500,000 visitors! 》

《Record-breaking fundraising of hundreds of millions! 》

"Millions of people, billions of glory!"

A few haters questioned how the money was used, but most were just amazed.

Tang Yan was exhausted.

He looked at Shen Santong, who had woken up early in the morning, in surprise and looked him up and down: "Are you still human?"

Shen Santong's voice was still hoarse, but much better than yesterday. He shook it and said, "Do you want to try?"

Tang Yan, forget it.

I performed a lot of shows yesterday and was so tired.

Shen Santong got up and started to arrange yesterday's payment.

This matter is very important.

Shen Santong personally supervised the use of the money: "Everything has a beginning, but few can have an end. This money must be spent on practical things."

"It can only be used for disaster relief. All the costs of organizing the show will be borne by me personally."

"As planned in advance, we have set up special links and databases on the website to ensure the use of funds to the greatest extent possible and regulate the use of funds. We must do this carefully."

"Half of the money will be donated to the severely affected backward areas. After coordination with the local authorities, the money will be used for post-disaster reconstruction."

"The other half will be used to help children in disaster-stricken areas to study, especially to help families in need. Education can change the future."

"We will participate in the Hope Project and claim the 1+1 student aid donations. We will continue this for a long time and encourage artists in the company to claim donations based on their own circumstances."

"Don't try to be ostentatious. Just do as many things as you can."

After the meeting.

The payment website is now online, and it clearly states how to use it.

Many people also discovered that event organising costs were not factored into the money raised.

Except for those who have been slandering Shen Santong to the point of being mentally retarded, most people have maxed out their favorability.

Some people who wanted to lead the trend and had ulterior motives were simply dumbfounded.

Shen Santong began to prepare for the filming of "Lost on Journey", which started on the 20th.

But Shen Santong didn't expect that the influence of this performance would be even greater than he thought.

CCTV came to do an interview.

Shen Santong followed the answer framework given by CCTV and said: "As a public figure, it is a basic obligation to shoulder social responsibilities."

"If I have to say anything, it's just do good things and don't worry about the future."

All major official media reported on it.

Some entertainment voices are not loud, but they have the final say.

The reviews were also very high, with an unprecedented number of participants and an unprecedented amount of money raised!

Shen Santong tasted something.

Mainly offset some impacts.

On the same day of his charity concert, Gillian Chung gave her first public performance, singing for the relief of the mainland's snowstorm.

It was reported that the hotel refused to lend the place.

It is obvious that in order to save Gillian Chung's image, she used the disaster relief performance as her first show after the photo exhibition.

Chen Guanxi's press conference was postponed again. He said that it was delayed because he was helping his mother move.

It's one thing for netizens to eat melons, but it's actually quite disgusting to put it on the table.

There's a snowstorm here and a big photography exhibition over there, and the impact is very bad.

Some things are hard to say officially.

If Hong Kong Island has made contributions and done good things, they will be remembered and given face.

But there are the Olympics, it’s the New Year, there’s a disaster in the south, and there’s a photography exhibition. How can I be in a good mood?
Shen Santong came out.

The two emotions are in stark contrast.

This social point is earned.

2 month 19 day.

Early in the morning.

The intensity of coverage has further increased, with the adjective "leading" and "representative" being added to Santong Entertainment Group.

It has secured the first place.

The public disclosure of Shen Santong's funds has completely dispelled the last bit of doubt. Half of it was donated to designated locations, and the other half was in the form of the Hope Project. There is no trickery involved.

In this matter, Shen Santong had no plan from beginning to end, and did not think about how big a deal it would make at the beginning.

All I can say is that his values ​​are correct.

The brain is yellow and the heart is red.

An unexpected surprise, a lot of social points can be earned.

Shen Santong didn't think so at the time, but now looking back he is very surprised.

After 08, the entertainment industry began to grow rapidly. The photography exhibition destroyed the Hong Kong circle, and the competition in the future was the domestic entertainment industry.

Santong Entertainment is leading by a large margin!

Shen Santong had a hunch that looking back in a few years, this might be the best choice.

At a critical period in the development of the industry, in the entertainment circle where entertainment is everything, another ecological option has been provided.

Shen Santong thought about it and gave Fan Bingbing some advice.

It's a bit selfish of me to take this opportunity to let Fan Bingbing return to the mainstream channels.

After Cell Phone, she lost touch with the mainstream.

Fan Bingbing said in an interview with reporters: "In the old society, we were actors and actresses, and it was difficult for us to be accepted by the public. Thanks to the country, we can stand up straight as artists. Giving back to society is the basic responsibility of public figures."

Whether it is worthy of being put on display or not depends on your own choice.

Shen Santong just gave her a push. What will happen to Fan Bingbing in the future depends on herself.

I don’t want to whitewash Fan Bingbing. I don’t like her in real life.

It is difficult to avoid her at this point in the novel.

I will write about the embarrassing journey tomorrow.

As I was writing, I found that I couldn’t write anymore.
