After offending capital, my songs became more and more popular.

Chapter 256 Filming? Can you handle being stuck in the censorship? Shen Ming'en: Second Battalion Commander, blast him to hell!
"I am filled with awe and respect."

These four words appeared at this moment on Yao Changyu and Chen Guangrong, two middle-aged men who were both elders and seniors to Shen Ming'en.

Perhaps these two middle-aged people never imagined that one day they would be able to feel "respect" for a young person, someone of their son's generation.

Everyone has a sense of patriotism, and as members of the "national team," they naturally talk about it all the time.

Even they, even as members of the "national team," never thought of contributing most of their income to the national defense cause and to bring warmth to those in need.

It's important to understand that, as veterans in the industry, although their income can't compare to that of Shen Ming'en, who is undoubtedly the only "top star" in the Chinese entertainment industry, they still earn hundreds of thousands of yuan for participating in a single commercial performance.

Even if it's only a few hundred thousand a year, it must be at least a million or so, right?
Let them manage their daily expenses; just talking about food and drink, they'd be lucky to spend half of it at most.

The rest, either save it or give it to people around you...

When it comes to the "uses" of income, there are many. Money is a good thing; there are countless things it can be exchanged for. Having money gives you confidence, and this is true for most Chinese people. After all, we were terrified of poverty in our feudal society years ago, so it's basically something "etched into our DNA"...

There are many people in this world who call themselves "good people" or even "saints," but you really shouldn't talk to these good people or saints about money, or they'll immediately turn pale...

That's just how reality is. You can get a lot of people to be "patriotic," as long as you don't talk about "money."

This isn't their problem; the main issue is that money is really hard to earn these days, and everyone's struggling.

If you asked many ordinary people, and they heard that Shen Ming'en donated all the huge profits from his book "Spark Chapter," they would admire him, but wouldn't think much of it...

After all, celebrities make money quickly. It's not uncommon for top celebrities in the entertainment industry to earn millions a day. Even if they spend all their money, they can still make a living by doing a couple of appearances and gigs. What they earn is something that ordinary people can only dream of in their entire lives.

But in the eyes of Yao Changyu and Chen Guangrong, these people's understanding was far too superficial...

Yes, celebrities can make money quickly, but it depends on what level of celebrity they are!

Shen Ming'en, a top celebrity, does make money quickly, but the question is, can he stay a "top celebrity" forever?
No one in this world dares to say they can be famous forever. Very few people are like Andy Lau. In today's fast-paced society, most celebrities are truly only "famous for a short time"...

Once this period passes, once they get older, their condition declines, their functions decrease, and they eventually run out of talent and aren't as popular anymore, do you think they can still make money so quickly?

The more they were in this industry, the more these two veterans understood that the vast majority of top celebrities were simply making a fortune during their years of fame.

That way, even if I lose my fame or become obsolete in the future, at least I won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life.

However, if you, like Shen Ming'en, don't make money during your "peak years" or even donate all your money, even if people still remember you in the future, you will have left a "significant mark" in the history of this industry. But once you're past your prime, life won't be so easy!

Celebrities are essentially a form of "freelancer," and they don't even receive social security benefits.

So……

In the eyes of these two, Shen Ming'en's actions seemed all the more "bold and decisive".

His actions and his current nonchalant demeanor only highlight two things.

First, he is truly patriotic and genuinely wants to use his existing "abilities" to contribute his own strength to the country and to those in need!

Secondly, he has that confidence that he can be "popular" for many years, and that even when he gets old, he will still be the well-deserved "top star" who can be "popular" for a lifetime!
This isn't confidence, this is practically arrogance!

all in all!
Shen Mingen's behavior is truly beyond reproach!

What is the most crucial point?
In Shen Ming'en's Weibo post, besides the picture of the donation contract, he also added a sentence...

他 说:

"I originally wanted to make some contributions to the motherland quietly, without any intention of making it public or marketing it, but I couldn't resist the petty intentions of some people."

What is the next line after "a petty person's mind"?
It's like a petty person judging a gentleman by their own standards!
Everyone on the internet already knew that this whole affair was orchestrated by certain people behind the scenes.

Through his little point...

At first!

Those bloggers who made videos to "expose" how ridiculously lucrative the "Spark Chapter" program was were completely overwhelmed!
Countless netizens rushed over and started cursing and shouting:

【You guys think you're qualified to stir up trouble for my Hagion?】

[Ha, you never explicitly say Shen Ming'en is profiting from patriotic songs, but you're constantly implying it. Who are you trying to disgust?!]

[They're praising our great motherland; even if they keep the money, it's their right. Who are you to secretly stir up trouble here?!]

[Case solved, guys! The operator behind this account is Yingyue Media. Don't ask me what Yingyue Media is; "Chinese Music Music Center" is their company.]

【ah? ? ? 】

[Gow, I was wondering why everyone talking about "Spark" lately was bringing up "Chinese Music Awards"—turns out it's these people with itchy noses!]

……

It has to be said that this generation of netizens is truly "all-powerful". Someone actually managed to uncover Yingyue Media, the company behind "Chinese Music Center", by analyzing the accounts that mainly "analyzed" how many sponsors Shen Ming'en's "Spark Chapter" received!

To know!
In the past two days, almost every piece of news related to "Spark Symphony" has this sentence under it:
No wonder he resolutely left "Chinese Music Awards" back then; he felt he wasn't being paid enough. He's so heartless! I don't know who he relied on to become famous...

The reputation of "Chinese Music Awards," which has never been good to begin with and was on the verge of being canceled, is showing signs of a "reputation reversal" for the first time. At first, people didn't notice this, but now that they have, they've gone straight to the comment section of "Chinese Music Awards," this "tough nut that's not dead yet," to hurl insults, and even to the company behind it, Yingyue Media. The situation has escalated quite a bit, causing the company's stock to plummet in the past two days...

When Liu Rong, the CEO of Yingyue Media who initially decided to use this incident to smear Shen Mingen, learned of this, she was so angry that she almost jumped three meters high!

"Ahhhh!!!"

At the desk, Liu Rong, with her fat head and big ears, slammed her hand on the table and shouted through gritted teeth:

"Is this kid fucking crazy?! Who makes a show and works so hard just to earn money to donate to others?!"

Really doing charity?!
Not to mention the Chinese entertainment industry, his behavior is quite outrageous in the context of the entire human society!
"Is the contract he sent out real?" Liu Rong couldn't help but ask the head of the public relations department who had initially "given the idea."

The person in charge was practically sweating bullets. He was the one who came up with the idea, and now that things had gone wrong, General Manager Liu would definitely hold him accountable. But the problem was…

How the hell did he know that Shen Ming'en, that damn guy, would actually "donate" all of his profits, which were almost several small goals away?

Are there really people in this world who are this carefree and easygoing?!

Not greedy at all?!

He didn't believe it! But even so...

However, he had no choice but to admit to his boss, Mr. Liu:
"Mr. Liu... I've reviewed his contract, and it should... be fine, and... it should be obligated to be fulfilled..."

It's not just the contract that's binding; the relevant department of the national defense project that Shen Ming'en is going to donate to has already issued a statement!

Please!

Celebrities and entertainers can easily get blacklisted or imprisoned just for evading taxes...

If you promise to donate your earnings to national defense and then go back on your word, wouldn't the relevant departments be fooled?

Who do you think you're messing with?! You dare mess with the relevant government departments?!

It won't be as simple as just being blacklisted or going to jail. You'll either be working as an umbrella in heaven or getting roasted!

Therefore, this point is absolutely genuine!

There's no doubt about that, but what about the other one?

"What about donating to those in need?" Mr. Liu asked.

It's important to understand that when it comes to "doing charity," whether it's establishing a "charitable foundation" or something else, it's easy to make a fuss about it.

Many wealthy people used this trick to launder money or steal in their early years, thereby making huge profits.

Therefore, this is a relatively easier point to exploit.

But regarding this...

The public relations manager told Liu Rong that Shen Ming'en was not establishing his own personal foundation, but rather donating the money to a well-known senior singer in the industry who specializes in charity...

Furthermore, he requires that a detailed list be provided for the use of his funds, and he will also "show off" this list on his personal social media account for viewers and netizens to see.

It's worth noting that the senior singer is known in the industry for being "genuine." She despises celebrities who like to "pretend." If Shen Mingen is indeed "pretending" or backs out and withdraws his investment halfway through, this senior singer will definitely publicly criticize him.

In the end, what we do today will only become the reason for being slapped in the face tomorrow.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Rong fell silent, unable to calm the turmoil within her for a long time.

To be honest, just before this PR manager opened her mouth, she was still wondering if Shen Mingen was doing this for "money laundering" or "avoiding trouble"...

But the facts seem to tell her that she was narrow-minded and had a "petty mind".

But is that right?!

This isn't right!
"check!"

Liu Rong gritted her teeth, she just couldn't believe it. She insisted on checking Shen Ming'en's details of how his funds were used, she just couldn't believe that this guy was really that "saintly"!
"Yes...yes, I'll go to Mr. Liu right away..." The head of the public relations department immediately reached out and stepped down when there was an opportunity.

After the public relations manager left, General Manager Liu sat at his desk, grimacing with anger, and it took him a long time to calm his turbulent emotions...

Seeing this, the male secretary next to him quickly poured Mr. Liu a cup of coffee and said:

"Mr. Liu, please calm down. I've heard a rumor that this kid is planning to film a movie soon..."

"Filming?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Rong was taken aback, then frowned, and then couldn't help but chuckle, saying:
"What? Is he tired of having too many good days?"

Why is Hakeem filming something when he has nothing better to do? Does he really think he's done so well in the music industry that no one can beat him, and is now planning to "cross over"?

“That’s right…” the male secretary laughed along.

The two laughed for a while before the male secretary said, "Let him take the photos. We have connections at the top anyway. We can just hold him back from the approval process and make him lose his temper!"

Over the years, these companies have spent so much money in the entertainment industry, and they've certainly fattened up a lot of people...

Some of the previous F5 tea houses had connections abroad, while others had connections with government officials. Although Yingyue Media may not be as large as Ruixing Entertainment, it is still a well-known company in the domestic entertainment industry.

Although Liu Rong's reputation in the industry is only so-so, her network of connections is truly strong. Her company, which started out producing film and television dramas, naturally has close ties with those who specialize in reviewing film and television dramas, and they regularly maintain good relationships with them...

To put it bluntly, if Shen Mingen had backing from powerful figures, Liu Rong would have to consider how much influence he had. But Shen Mingen clearly doesn't have any backing, and he's in this kind of "cross-industry" business...

Isn't that just asking to be "targeted"?

You want to act, right?
Okay!

Not only will I not stop you, I'd love to help you get some investments!
It doesn't matter if your filming goes smoothly or if it's good or bad, but once you submit it for review, you just need to see if your film can pass the review and be broadcast...

To put it bluntly, no matter how well Shen Ming'en's acting is done, nitpickers can always find fault with it, repeatedly blocking his review process and forcing him to make various cuts, ruining even the best shows.

Even if it gets released eventually, it will be heavily edited and destined to flop!
Okay, okay, okay!

I was just looking for ways to get rid of this kid, and he just walked right into my doorstep!

Then let's teach him a lesson!

"Ha ha……"

Thinking about all this, Liu Rong's mood, which had been somewhat irritated by Shen Ming'en's "donation" updates, suddenly improved. When she turned to look at her male secretary, she felt even more that her male secretary was quite handsome.

The fat, big-eared rich woman licked her lips, then reached out, grabbed the male secretary's belt, and forcefully pulled him towards her...

When the male secretary leaned closer, she whispered something in his ear:
"Bring some documents to my sister's room tonight."

The male secretary has performed such a remarkable service; how could he not be rewarded?!

At that moment, Liu Rong had no idea that Shen Ming'en was going to film a ridiculous anti-Japanese war drama called "Bright Sword" with not a single word of nonsense!
