Chapter 941: Five Million Donation
After the first song was finished, Miss Luo Quan immediately sang "Blue and White Porcelain" again.
This is not her most liked song by fans in the country, but it must be the most famous, because it was on the Spring Festival Gala, and it was also in the prime time of the Spring Festival Gala.
For a long time after that, this peak Chinese-style song could be heard at almost any gala.
"Thanks to Miss Luo Quan for the wonderful performance."
After Miss Luo Quan's performance ended, Shu Mang walked onto the stage and expressed her gratitude loudly.
However, the performance segment did not end there; the boy group that had raised their hands before went on stage at Shu Mang's invitation to do a singing, dancing, and rap performance.
It was just as Miss Luo Quan guessed; this stage was originally reserved for them, but no one expected that she would also raise her hand.
But no matter what, the goal of going on stage to perform had been achieved.
Just in the time it took to sing two songs on stage, the popularity of the Bazaar Charity Night soared again, approaching sixty million, and it was not far from the highest popularity in history.
And after all the performance programs were finished, the highlight of the night finally began.
The funds raised in the previous auction segment were not much, only about 30 million RMB.
When it came to the formal fundraising segment, the program team didn't just use the empty words "for charity" to let the celebrities donate, but brought out specific donation plans.
First, the beneficiaries in impoverished mountain areas are mainly the elderly and left-behind children.
The problems faced by this group of people are actually very simple: the elderly's physical health and food and clothing, and the left-behind children's physical nutrition and whether they can study with peace of mind.
Of course, spiritual needs are also very important, but wanting to satisfy this part is not something that can be done just by having money, so it is usually not considered.
After Bazaar officials raise the money for the above problems, they will all be used to purchase materials, and then send people to distribute them to the areas in need.
From procurement to delivery, the whole process is recorded, completely transparent, and can withstand everyone's supervision.
In addition, the list of people who donated this time will also be made public; who donated and who didn't donate will be clear at a glance.
Before this, this list would not have been published, but perhaps because the influence of the Bazaar Charity Night has grown, it has begun to receive supervision from above, so all data must be revealed clearly.
For Miss Luo Quan, if it is this kind of fully public destination of specific charity accounts, then it is still worthy of trust.
And Shu Mang also explicitly stated that there would be live broadcasts and videos; although there is a suspicion of rubbing popularity, Miss Luo Quan hopes that everyone has the conditions to rub it.
She hopes more that those who have done good deeds can be promoted more, so that everyone knows that doing good deeds can have a good reputation.
Not leaving a name for doing good deeds and anonymous donations are indeed very noble, and Miss Luo Quan also admires such kind people, but doing so is actually not conducive to the act of charity.
Because not everyone has such noble awareness.
As the saying goes, "strike it rich and establish a brand"; after having money, people often start to care about their reputation, and the simplest thing is to do charity.
If everyone calls for anonymous donations, it will greatly dampen the enthusiasm of those who want to spend money to buy a reputation.
So Miss Luo Quan feels that whoever donated money and did charity should be made public and receive everyone's praise.
However, what made Miss Luo Quan slightly surprised was that a lively charity gala became slightly cold when it came to the real donation.
It wasn't that the stage was cold; Shu Mang specially invited the crosstalk master, Teacher Guo, to host the overall situation for this important segment.
As the crosstalk master with the highest influence in the country, there is no need to elaborate on how sharp Teacher Guo's tongue is; he has almost never been seen suffering a loss in front of the camera.
The only time he was slightly embarrassed was during the interest dispute with his apprentice.
It was noisy and ended in a mess.
However, a few years later, Teacher Guo and his club had already become an important force in the Chinese entertainment industry.
The change of the times proved that traditional crosstalk could no longer be spoken, but if crosstalk was combined with idol idols, then perhaps it could find another way.
Thus, there were more young and handsome crosstalk newcomers in Teacher Guo's club, appearing frequently on variety shows, and their makeup was quite like Korean flower boys.
The looks were still passable, and they would occasionally pop out two golden sentences on variety shows, making the whole audience laugh.
But when it comes to the level of crosstalk, that is a matter of opinion.
Miss Luo Quan herself doesn't watch crosstalk, but she has seen some crosstalk clips when brushing Bilibili; they are really funny, but many are old jokes.
However, generally speaking, Teacher Guo and his group are currently in their prime, the company's business is booming, and objectively, they have indeed injected new vitality into the declining crosstalk.
And this time, Old Guo came to the Bazaar Charity Night to host the program, on one hand, invited by Shu Mang, and on the other hand, he also wanted to make a good contribution to the charity cause.
He started a stand-up crosstalk, without vulgar content, and seriously described how difficult the lives of people in impoverished areas are.
Besides being funny, Old Guo is also a good hand at stirring emotions; just a few words out, and he had already moved the audience off-stage.
After listening to the difficult situation of these people, it was time for the love-offering segment.
Not mandatory, all based on self-consciousness.
But it's the Charity Night; everyone knows what they came here for; it would be too strange if they didn't donate some money.
But facts have proven that there are many strange people in the world.
In the donation segment, everyone will get a love card with their own name on it; donate as much as you write, and after sending it to the stage, Old Guo will read it out with his loud voice.
"Wen Xia, how much do you plan to donate?" Su Yu asked about the situation of the person next to her, but she had already written one million on it.
It seems she has been busy with work all year and hasn't done anything related to charity; since she caught up this time, then donate a little more.
"Your 30 million fans all donate one million, so I say more than double yours; shouldn't I donate a little more?" Wen Xia wrote two million on the card with a smile.
Gao Liang and Mia are both people who don't lack money, but because they are foreigners, they don't trust charity organizations in a foreign land so much, so they weren't so generous, each only donating 500,000 US dollars.
"Will it be a little less?" Mia whispered to Gao Liang after writing the number.
"500,000 US dollars is not much in the United States, but converted into Chinese currency, it is over 3 million, which is already quite high." Gao Liang understands the market and didn't feel anything wrong with this number.
Of course, if the charity organization could be more reliable, he wouldn't mind donating more, just as a prayer for the baby who hasn't been born yet.
As for Miss Luo Quan, she thought about it slightly, and incidentally listened to the celebrity donation amounts shouted by Old Guo on stage.
Most of them hovered around 700,000; very few reached one million; the highest currently was actually the 2.8 million donated by Old Guo himself.
And those top celebrities and first-line stars, there were many with zero donation amounts.
"Could it be that there is a catty in this charity night?" Miss Luo Quan fell into a conspiracy theory.
But it has been held for over a decade; if there were really a problem, she should have heard some rumors; she also hasn't heard of any problems with the Bazaar Charity Night.
At most, the host Shu Mang's own life is a bit luxurious, such as feeling uncomfortable if the daily meal money is less than 500, spending a lot of money on food and clothing every day, and speaking a bit pretentiously.
But these are other people's lifestyles; she has no interest in meddling in other people's business.
Moreover, this charity night didn't end after donating money; it will be broadcast live throughout the process later, and any problems will be dug out by netizens, so it is highly probable that most of the money donated this time can be used on people in need.
Then these people are still indifferent and don't pull out a hair; Miss Luo Quan expressed that she couldn't understand.
But not understanding is not understanding; it doesn't need her to evaluate; after the Charity Night ends, the melon-eating masses on the trending searches will evaluate.
As for her, just follow her heart.
With three strokes, Miss Luo Quan wrote "five million" on the card.
If there are no accidents, this should be the highest bid in the whole venue.
But compared to her previous donation amounts, this can only be called "sprinkling water."
After all, she was a great philanthropist who once donated 100 million US dollars.
But the experience of donating 100 million US dollars that time was actually quite magical.
Originally, she didn't have the idea of doing charity at the time; once during a live broadcast, fans kept asking her to send benefits.
Miss Luo Quan was annoyed by listening, so she set a flag: if you guys raise 100 million US dollars, she would take swimsuit photos.
In her view, this was originally a task that could not be completed at all.
Who knew that under the efforts of fans all over the world, they really raised this sum of money.
No way, Miss Luo Quan could only fulfill her promise and went to the Maldives to take the first set of swimsuit photos in her life.
As for the 100 million US dollars raised, she didn't take it for herself, but donated it all, saving the reputation that had somewhat collapsed because of crowdfunding for swimsuit photos.
It was also fortunate that the flag she set was only taking swimsuit photos; if it were some other large-scale behavior, the consequences would probably be very serious.
From then on, Miss Luo Quan never set any flag again.
Charity has always been done, donating millions at least and tens of millions at most each time.
If it weren't for such donation intensity, how could her film and television works in the country pass the review so easily?
The movies and TV shows filmed by others, in order to pass the review, can be said to have racked their brains, wishing they could deal with all the controversial shots.
And her, she only needs to pay attention not to go too far; in most cases, she will not be stuck in the review.
This Bazaar Charity Night, Miss Luo Quan thought she would become the number one donation amount, but she didn't expect it to be so easy; only five million and she topped the list.
Soon, the card was sent to Teacher Guo's hands; a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Miss Luo Quan and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the donation segment has been going on until now, and a number that is quite exciting for the people in impoverished areas has appeared, that is the five million RMB donated by Miss Luo Quan!"
"Thanks, thanks to Miss Luo Quan for her strong support." Shu Mang also echoed loudly.
The celebrities in the whole venue also applauded vigorously; after all, applause doesn't cost money.
As the highest donor in the whole venue, Miss Luo Quan gained an opportunity to speak.
If it were Gao Liang, he would probably have to do a rap at this time, for example:
"Donating money is a good thing, it shouldn't be divided into high or low.
"But you earn more than me, and the money donated is not even one-tenth of mine.
skr~~~"
If these words came out, many people would probably have a black face.
But Miss Luo Quan wouldn't say it so bluntly, so she changed to a more tactful way of saying it:
"When poor, cultivate oneself; when successful, help the world; this is a famous quote I learned since I was a child.
As an artist with a little bit of assets, this five million cannot fully represent my eager concern for the people in impoverished areas; I have also donated through other channels, and I believe everyone present is as enthusiastic as I am.
I remember when I was in elementary school, the teacher often told me that the amount of money is not important; what is important is this love.
I believe that as long as everyone contributes a little love, the world of tomorrow will become more beautiful; thank you."
The same words have different feelings in different people's hearts.
Some people feel it is sarcastic, and their faces are not very natural.
Some people feel this is the heartfelt words accumulated by Miss Luo Quan doing charity for a long time, which is moving.
But no matter what kind of mood people were in, they all applauded after Miss Luo Quan finished speaking.
Immediately after, Old Guo announced the donation amounts of Gao Liang, Wen Xia, and the others.
Although not as much as Miss Luo Quan, compared to some artists present, it was already much higher; after all, some present didn't even donate.
Ten minutes later, the donation segment ended.
Counting the funds raised in the previous auction, the Bazaar Charity Night tonight raised a total of 150 million in charity funds.
For those impoverished people living in dire straits, this is an exciting number.
If it can be implemented, it can make the lives of at least ten thousand people improve.
After the donation ended, it finally came to the group photo segment that the celebrities were most looking forward to and also the most nervous and exciting.
Hundreds of guests arrived today, and everyone can go on stage to participate in the group photo; the wide stage is also enough to accommodate so many people.
But the focus of the camera cannot take care of so many people; only the batch of people with the highest status and the largest traffic can occupy the most central position.
Before this, Miss Luo Quan originally had no intention of grabbing the C-position, because she no longer needs these ethereal things to highlight her status.
But after donating money, she felt that it was too much of a loss if she didn't stand in the C-position.
This time, it was their company that donated the most; in terms of popularity and works, which one is not a leader in the industry?
If she stood in the corner and was overshadowed by those celebrities who didn't pay a cent and had low levels, is this reasonable?
Obviously unreasonable.
The host Shu Mang also felt that this was very unreasonable, so as soon as she saw Miss Luo Quan go on stage, she greeted her to bring everyone over.
The momentum of the team composed of Oscar winners was quite terrifying; just now, several top female celebrities were fighting openly and secretly, but after seeing Miss Luo Quan and Gao Liang's group, they all gave way in unison.
The C-position tonight can only be picked by these few people first, and then it can be their turn.
And Miss Luo Quan didn't be polite, and took Wen Xia and Su Yu to stand in the very center of the group photo. ===== CHAPTER 942 =====
