Chapter 474 National Hero

The post on Weibo caused an uproar across the internet!

#Chen Xun donates 1.2 million masks#

#Chen Xun donates 10 billion yuan#

The related topic shot to the top of the trending searches at lightning speed!

Weibo's servers crashed!

Those who were the most vocal critics of Chen Xun before are now collectively silent.

"I apologize to Chen Xun. I'm sorry."

"The harsher I insulted you before, the more my face hurts now. I deserve to die."

"1.2 million masks donated for free! Those who said he was profiting from the national crisis have been proven wrong, haven't they?"

"They wouldn't sell it for fifty times the price, but instead donated it all for free. That's a true entrepreneur!"

"I said I was going to unfollow Chen Xun, but now I'm a die-hard fan for life!"

"If anyone says another bad word about Chen Xun, I'll fight them!"

Those self-media outlets that had previously published articles criticizing Chen Xun deleted their articles overnight and issued statements of apology.

"I extend my sincerest apologies to Mr. Chen Xun; I had been judging him by my own petty standards."

"Chen Xun proved everyone wrong with his actions. He's not crazy; he's a true hero."

Chris Hemsworth immediately retweeted the post, adding the caption: "I knew my brother was a good guy! Those who criticized him, come out and apologize!"

Vin Diesel also posted on Weibo: "This is my family! Chen, I'm so proud of you! I'm also donating $100 million to the fight against the pandemic."

Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, Andy Lau, Wu Jing —

Half of the celebrities in the entertainment industry reposted Chen Xun's Weibo post and donated money and supplies.

That evening, the first batch of trucks carrying supplies departed from Beijing and headed to Wuhan.

The truck driver said to the camera, "General Manager Chen said that as long as the supplies are delivered on time, each person will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan. We will take turns driving, and the trucks will keep running even when people are resting. We will try to get to Wuhan by tomorrow morning."

After receiving the supplies, the hospital doctors posted on their WeChat Moments: "Finally, we have masks! Finally, we have protective suits! Thank you, Chen Xun! Thank you, China Dragon! We can go to the front lines with peace of mind!"

The accompanying photo shows medical staff wearing brand-new protective suits, making a heart shape with their hands in front of the camera.

In the offices of China Dragon Pictures, everyone was extremely busy.

The phone rang from morning till night, all for requests for supplies.

Christine and Jennifer became operators, and their voices became hoarse.

Dakota and Ellie were helping pack supplies in the warehouse, and their hands got blisters.

While on the phone, Rob shouted, "Priority to Hubei! Priority to hospitals! Send all the protective suits to hospitals in Wuhan first!"

"receive!"

Chen Xun sat in front of the computer, looking at the lists of material needs sent from various places, and kept signing and approving them.

He hadn't slept for two days and two nights, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Christine brought over a bowl of instant noodles and placed it in front of him: "Take a break and eat something. You haven't eaten for two days."

"It's okay, I'm not hungry."

Chen Xun didn't even look up: "How many supplies haven't been distributed yet?"

"Half left!"

Christine said, "The factory is still operating 24 hours a day and can produce 500 million masks a day, which is enough to supply the market."

""

Chen Xun nodded, finally picked up his chopsticks, and took a bite of instant noodles.

Just then, my phone rang.

It was the director of a Wuhan hospital calling.

On the other end of the phone, the hospital director's voice was choked with tears: "President Chen, thank you so much for the supplies! Our hospital was on the verge of collapse, and your supplies are a godsend! On behalf of all the medical staff in the hospital, I bow to you in gratitude!"

Chen Xun's voice was a little hoarse: "You guys are the ones who have worked the hardest. Take good care of yourselves. I'll treat you to hot pot when the epidemic is over."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xun looked out the window.

The night was deep, and the city was silent, with only a few lights on.

But he knew the darkness would eventually pass.

Rob walked over and handed him a cup of hot water: "Boss, everyone online is apologizing to you. Now everyone is calling you a national hero."

Chen Xun smiled and shook his head: "I'm not a hero, I just did what I was supposed to do."

"The real heroes are the medical staff who are working hard on the front lines and the ordinary people who stick to their posts."

"7

He picked up his phone and posted another Weibo message: "No need to apologize, and no need to call me a hero. I'm just an ordinary person doing what an ordinary person should do."

In the face of the pandemic, no one is a bystander. Let's cheer each other on and we will definitely get through this.

When spring arrives and the flowers bloom, we'll go to the movies together, climb the Great Wall together, and eat hot pot together.

Siheyuan.

Chen Xun, dressed in gray pajamas, squatted in the yard picking vegetables.

Christine handed him a basket, and Jennifer ran out of the kitchen, her face covered in flour, holding a spatula: "Chen Xun! When you make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, do you put the eggs in first or the tomatoes first?"

"Put the eggs in first."

Chen Xun didn't even look up: "Don't burn the pot. We already burned three pots last week."

"knew!"

Jennifer snorted and turned to run back to the kitchen.

Less than three seconds later, a "sizzle" sound came from the kitchen, accompanied by her scream.

Dakota and Ellie sat on the veranda making dumplings. Ellie's dumplings still looked like small steamed buns, and Dakota was teaching her how to pinch the pleats.

"Look, you have to shape it like this, otherwise it will fall apart when you cook it."

"Oh—but why is it still so ugly when I made it?"

"It's okay, as long as it's edible."

This is their twentieth day of home quarantine.

Cinemas across the country are closed, all programs are suspended, and everyone is staying at home and unable to go out.

Looking at the four people in the courtyard, Chen Xun suddenly felt that this kind of life was not bad.

I used to be so busy that I never had a moment to spare, and I've never had such a long time to stay quietly at home.

Chen Xun straightened up and wiped the water off his hands: "How's the copyright acquisition going with Rob?"

"That's about it!"

Christine took out her phone: "We've already bought the rights to over 2000 movies, from classic Hong Kong films to Hollywood blockbusters, as well as some of the best domestic films from recent years. They'll be available online tonight."

Chen Xun nodded: "It's all free, no registration or login required. Just open it and watch, and don't worry about anything else. Just watch the movie quietly."

That evening at 8 PM, the free movie theater on the official website of China Dragon Pictures was officially launched.

At first, nobody took it seriously, thinking it was just a few old movies shown as a token gesture.

When they clicked on it, everyone was stunned.

Farewell My Concubine, A Chinese Odyssey, The Shawshank Redemption, Titanic, The Avengers series —

From silent films of the 1920s to the latest blockbusters of 2019, it has everything.

More than 2300 movies, all free!

No censorship, 1080P HD.

Even many movies that have already finished their theatrical run and can't be found online can be found here.

"Has Chen Xun gone mad?! Over 2000 movies all for free? How much money must he have spent on the copyrights?!"

"I've been searching for the uncut version of 'A Chinese Odyssey' for three years, and I actually found it here! And it's free!"

"No issues! No membership required! Just open and watch!"

"People used to say that iQiyi and Tencent Video had many problems, but now that you compare them, it's clear which one is better."

"Chen Xun is really doing things for the people! Knowing that everyone was bored at home, he set up a free movie theater."

The servers for the official website of China Dragon were overwhelmed within ten minutes of going live.

The technical team worked through the night to repair the damage and barely managed to keep it afloat.

iQiyi and Tencent Video followed suit after seeing this.

iQiyi announced that all members will be free for another month, Tencent Video launched a sign-in event to give away memberships, and Youku also followed suit by waiving the single-movie payment for all movies.

Netizens joked, "Chen Xun's one sentence stirred up the entire video industry."
