Chapter 550

The outside world might seem wonderful, able to make big money, but it comes with risks too.

Thinking about it, forget it. Enjoying an ordinary life is pretty good.

But this number still shocked him deeply.

One billion!!

In this lifetime—no, ten lifetimes—he couldn't earn that much.

Hurry up and check the comment section.

He found that everyone had already started eating the melon.

"Holy crap, holy crap, one billion! Qin Dao, I'd be willing to be your dog, I don't ask for much, just give me one percent."

"Qin Dao, I'm way more pragmatic than the guy above, I don't need one percent, one-tenth of a percent is fine."

"Qin Dao, I'm better than all of them, I want one ten-thousandth."

"……"

"Damn, you guys upstairs, aren't you done grinding at work? You have to keep competing even watching Weibo?"

"You're insane!"

"Sigh, can't be helped. Before I just thought Qin Yu was awesome, got the Palme d'Or, didn't expect him to make even more money. It hasn't even finished its run and it's already hit one billion."

"Once it finishes its run, imagine that. Is Qin Yu making movies? Even a money-printing machine isn't as fast as him."

"……"

"Boo hoo, I want to study film, I want to make big money just like Qin Yu."

"+1"

"+1"

"……"

"Dude upstairs, you're dreaming. How many people study directing? Hundreds of thousands, right? But the ones who actually make it to the top, a few dozen at most."

"The whole country releases fewer than three hundred films a year, you really think it's that easy?"

"Exactly, forget it. Qin Yu being able to make money is his own skill, just watch and that's enough."

"……"

"That won't do, this guy made so much money, never seen him donate any. And this guy isn't evading taxes, is he?"

"Suggest investigating thoroughly."

"I agree with this point. All this money comes from ordinary folks, definitely needs to be investigated, investigated hard."

"……"

The internet never lacks people who hate the rich and are jealous, there are way too many of them.

But this time they hit a brick wall. Most people were only envious that Qin Yu could make so much money.

Honestly, it couldn't even be called jealousy, after all the guy earned it through legitimate means.

He didn't steal or rob, so what's the problem?

"Oh wow, the Weibo judges are here already? Jealous just because someone makes money, is there something wrong with your brain?"

"What the guy upstairs said is right, I'm literally dying of laughter. If someone makes money and does charity, that's a good thing. If they don't, it has nothing to do with you, none of your damn business!"

"……"

"I'm speechless, why are you all targeting Qin Yu? Go target some other people, the money those people got, not a single cent of tax was paid."

"Agree"

"……"

"Dude upstairs, I'll tell you simply, these people can't afford to offend those guys, dare to say it? They'll kill him."

"Haha, well said. Targeting someone earning money legitimately, not paying attention to others, are you guys sick in the head?"

"……"

"Alright, stop talking. That bunch just hides in some dark rental room, doesn't want to do anything, just 347 dreams about pies falling from the sky."

"Jealous of this one day, jealous of that one day. Cowardly in real life, doesn't even dare speak up, but online they pick up a keyboard and start judging others."

"One word—disgusting~!"

"So freaking disgusting!"

"……"

"The summary upstairs is spot on. I figure, what bad thing has Qin Yu done? Is earning money through legitimate means not allowed?"

"Besides, most of his money is in US dollars, foreign exchange. What the hell are you lot barking about?"

"……"

"If you make money you should do charity, shouldn't you?"

"Who said that? Is it in the law? How much have you donated? What gives you the right to demand others donate?"

"Well said. Hasn't Qin Yu donated? If I remember correctly, at last year's Bazaar charity event, he donated ten million."

"Ten million! Selling you, you disgusting bastard, you don't even have that much. None of your damn business."

"Exactly, none of your damn business."

"+1"

"+1"

"……"

Soon, with the support of a bunch of netizens, Weibo hit the trending searches, and those netizens forcing donations got roasted badly.

Have to say, netizens' worldviews are often pretty solid.

The premise is also that Qin Yu has decent public goodwill.

Charity is something that depends on the person — donating is a good thing, and not donating doesn't matter either.

That's their business.

Instead, it was a group of jealous netizens who got thoroughly scolded.

Some netizens even wanted to dox these people, which scared them badly.

They ran off in a hurry.

When people in the industry saw it, they were quite moved.

An ordinary celebrity who ran into this kind of thing wouldn't have it easy.

Very few celebrities dare to expose their own income.

The reason is simple — even if you haven't done any of those messy things, netizens will still publicly punish you.

But Qin Yu, on the other hand.

Nothing happened to him at all; anyone who tried to stir things up would get harshly shamed by netizens.

Even before Qin Yun Culture had started any PR, the tide of public opinion had already quickly swung back.

PS: Second update, one more update in an hour or so.

281: Riding the heat — brands, the National Day celebration banquet in America, Qin Yu's grand move, spending forty million to invite fans to Hollywood!

With this kind of public goodwill, no celebrity director in the industry can catch up.

And it doesn't end there.

Many of the brands sponsoring Qin Yu also began speaking up one after another.

These guys are all sharp.

It looks like they're standing up for Qin Yu, but really, they're seizing the chance to promote themselves.

Official Xiao Dudu: Sponsoring Qin Dao's new film is the most correct advertising decision our company has made this year.

There are no shady deals — the documents and contracts are open for inspection.

We've even begun inviting Qin Dao to be our brand's global spokesperson, and we hope Qin Dao will consider it.

Xiao Dudu will always guard everyone's health.

……

Official Ping An: We're very grateful to Qin Dao for giving us the chance to sponsor him; if there's an opportunity, we're willing to cooperate long-term with Qin Yun Culture.

Ping An Insurance — one purchase, happiness for the whole family.
