Chapter 510 Starry [-]th Anniversary Charity Party

November 2007, 11, Fanxing Building
Chen Chen came out of the parking lot and watched his apprentice Xiao Wang pack up the camera. He vaguely remembered the scene when he attended the Cao Xuan Warner signing ceremony with his master Feng.

Now that times have changed, I have also changed from an intern to a formal reporter, and even started to bring my own apprentices.

But his own master, Lao Feng...

"What do you think?"

Chen Chen suddenly got a chestnut, and when he turned around, he saw his master, Lao Feng, whose hairline had moved up two inches, and Xiao Wang, who was next to him, greeted him winkingly.

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Feng."

"Ah hello."

Lao Feng, who had already moved to another media as an associate editor, was very happy when he saw the apprentice in front of him.

"I was still wondering if I could run into you. If you want to say that we, the master and the apprentice, are destined, we'll finish the work in a while, find a place to rub, and I'll treat you."

"Farewell, let me come. With your little pocket money, it's hard to buy cigarettes."

"Look down on me, I have 150 a month, and I can't afford a meal."

"Tsk tsk, I don't dare to order meat dishes for an average of 5 yuan a day. Let me ask you, what does marriage bring to men?"

"You don't know a fart without a wife."

"I'm single and I'm happy."

"I am happier when I sleep with my daughter-in-law in my arms."

The master and apprentice were bickering here, while Xiao Wang watched cheerfully from the side.

Chen Chen followed Lao Feng when he was an intern in college, and received a lot of help. Lao Feng always took him with him when he had any good things.

At the beginning when Lao Feng quit, Chen Chen wanted to follow without saying a word, but Lao Feng felt that the new company had just started, so he just gambled for the future, and there was no need to drag Chen Chen to gamble, so he could persuade him.

Therefore, although they are not in the same unit now, the relationship between the master and apprentice is still very good.

And Chen Chen was also influenced by Lao Feng, and took special care of his apprentices. For example, for today's event, Chen Chen alone was enough. He thought of a way to create another invitation letter to get his apprentices to show their faces.

Lao Feng was alone.

It's not that he doesn't want to bring apprentices. The new unit he works in is short-lived and small-scale. Even his deputy editor-in-chief runs the news himself, so he really can't put on a show.

After exchanging greetings, the three went to the building, registered according to the guidelines, and then came to the banquet hall floor where the event was held, and sat down in the media area behind.

Chen Chen and Lao Feng greeted the familiar reporters. Xiao Wang didn't know anyone, so he took out his camera and took a photo of the banquet hall stage.

The theme of today's event is written on it——

Stars [-]th Anniversary Celebration & Stars Tomorrow Fund Star Charity Gala
On the other side, Chen Chen and several reporters also talked about this matter and couldn't help joking.

"Or you have to say that it's Cao Tianwang, who is so domineering on his birthday, so just hold a party."

"It's not only his birthday, Hu Jing's birthday is also today, it's a double win."

"You can't say that. Today is indeed the [-]th anniversary of Fanxing's founding. It's normal to celebrate it, let alone a charity auction, which is very positive."

"Indeed, Fanxing is now considered to be the dominant player in the entertainment industry. There is no event that is not good for the tenth anniversary of its establishment, but if it is too extravagant and extravagant, it will easily cause controversy. If you have a charity party, everything will be logical. The bigger the lineup, the better. .”

"Haha, this trick is really clever."

"I don't care about other things, I'm more curious, how many big names can come today, the list has not been announced yet."

"With Boss Cao's status, it will definitely not be a small scene. I see that the red carpet has been arranged outside, and I'm afraid it will be full of stars again tonight."

Speaking of this, the reporters smiled brightly. They came here just for these stars, and they definitely hoped that the scene would be as big as possible.

Around 3:[-] pm, two groups of people entered the venue and began to set up cameras near the venue and the red carpet.

A reporter was curious, ran over to inquire, and gave a thumbs up full of admiration: "It must be Cao Xuan, Beijing Satellite TV will directly broadcast live, in time for the Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony."

Another reporter took out his computer: "Not only the TV station, Penguin Blog has also made a linkage, and opened a special section to provide various pictures and text information, exciting video clips, and netizens can also chat online."

"Boss Cao, domineering."

Chen Chen gave a thumbs up, and Lao Feng suddenly laughed: "I remember that in September, I just organized a Bazaar charity night, and the final fundraising was probably less than 9 million..."

"More than 753 million points, I was following the news at the time."

"More than 750 million is not a lot. Tell me, how much can be raised in today's Fanxing Charity Gala."

"Boss Cao's face is here, no matter what, everyone will bleed, double it."

"I think 2000 million is on track."

"2000 million is a bit much, I think it's similar to Lao Wei's opinion, 1500 million."

Everyone chatted for half an hour, and the staff came to inform that the red carpet was about to start, and most of the media came to the red carpet outside to grab their seats.

Around 3 o'clock, the red carpet officially started. The well-dressed celebrities appeared on the red carpet one after another.

"Sun Nan, Han Hong, good guys, Na Ying is here."

"Feng Xiaogang, Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, and Huayi are all dispatched."

"Sun Li, Li Xiaoran, and Hai Yan are also here to join in the fun."

"Mr. Cai from the Tang Dynasty is also here. Who is the girl next to her? It looks like Liu Yifei."

"International Zhang, Mr. Zhou, Fan Xiaopang, and Zhao, all the flowers are gathered here."

"Didn't you say that Cao Xuan doesn't like a certain Zhao? Why is she here too?"

"You're so naive, kid. The boss doesn't need to like you, but you can't really disrespect the boss. Naying and Xie Feng are here."

"Tsk tsk, it seems that Lu Yi is the only one who did not come here, this one is really proud."

"Wang Fei and his wife are here too, my dear, didn't we run into each other with Xie and Zhang?"

"Who is the person next to Da Mimi? Do you want to bring someone new?"

"Brother Cheng Long, damn it, Li Lianjie is here too, awesome."

"Master Xing and Uncle Da, I'm crying!"

"It's a pity that Li Tianwang and Zhang Tianwang are not free, otherwise we will see the four heavenly kings gathered again."

"That's Lee Soo-man from Korea's SM Entertainment, my good guy, I flew here with Girls' Generation."

"Nagasawa Masami, the Japanese star has also arrived."

"..."

The previous Bazaar Charity Night was quite good. Famous and well-known artists from the mainland came, and the scale of Fanxing Charity Gala spread to both sides of the Taiwan Strait. A series of big names from Hong Kong and Taiwan came here one after another. popular star.

The reporters were still exclaiming, not to mention the melon-eaters who were watching the live broadcast in front of the TV or Penguin Blog, watching a series of celebrities and big names, and they were hooked.

But what made everyone curious was that until the end of the red carpet, Cao Xuan, who was the rightful host, never showed up.

The reporters returned to the venue depressed and puzzled, only to see Cao Xuan back and forth at several tables close to the stage.

"I rely on."

Lao Feng, who had been calm on the red carpet before, couldn't hold back, and Xiao Wang was a little confused.

"What happened to Editor-in-Chief Feng?"

"I said, why doesn't Cao Xuan go to the red carpet? Even the bosses in the entertainment industry ignored him, and his feelings are entertaining the bosses here."

"Boss?"

"Look, Sohu's Zhang Huhu, Baidu's Li Yanhong, Penguin Pony, Shanda Chen Tianqiao, Box Game Chen Guowei, Alibaba's Jack Ma, Netease Laoding, half of the Internet has come."

"More than that, the leaders of Vanke, Wanda, Suning, New Oriental, Haier, etc. sitting over there are also there, and a lot of physical businesses have also come, and there are quite a lot of them in Lu Province. Why don't you see Lenovo Liu's family?"

"The mobile deputy is also here, and that gringo is not Pepsi. Does Cao Xuan even attract donations from the endorsement company?"

Lao Feng, who had followed financial and business news for a period of time, recognized most of the entrepreneurs present, and couldn't help being amazed.

Celebrities look glamorous, but most of them work for capital, and these business tycoons are the real bosses.

Xiao Wang didn't know much about these businesses, so he just took a few photos out of curiosity, then saw Cao Xuan leave, and brought a few people over after a while, he thought it was some new boss who wanted to take pictures, but was stopped by Lao Feng .

"Don't shoot this one, shoot other stars."

Chen Chen next to him asked curiously, and Lao Feng didn't say much, but simply introduced the identities of the two leaders: "The deputy in charge of culture in the capital's yamen and the deputy in charge of propaganda in the capital."

Chen Chen shut up instantly, entertainment reporters like them know what a cordon is.

These two must have been reported by the official media, so don't worry about them.

As soon as the leaders here arrived, the party basically started.

The whole gala is divided into two stages, one is the [-]th anniversary theme of the stars, and the other is a charity gala.

The former didn't take much time, about half an hour or so.

Cao Xuan himself has a clue. Those of them who have watched Fanxing grow up step by step have a lot of affection for Fanxing, and they can't wait to write a big book, telling the world all the hardships and brilliant achievements of the past 10 years, which arouses everyone's amazement.

But the real situation is that, except for a small number of people, other people who have nothing to do with Fanxing don't care about this entrepreneurial history.

Just like attending a wedding banquet, everyone has no intention of the love story of the bride and groom and just wants to eat the banquet. The guests come to show their faces, and the audience watches the live broadcast because they want to watch stars, and they are not very interested in Fanxing's entrepreneurial history.

Comparing his heart with his heart, if Fanxing was not Cao Xuan's company, he wouldn't even have the intention to participate, let alone listen to long speeches.

Do unto others, do not impose on others!
Therefore, Fanxing is very restrained in this regard. It is only Li Yan, the president, who briefly introduces Fanxing's experience and brilliance over the years, a little contribution to society, and expectations for the future. Then it is gone. Cao Xuan himself has no show up.

After the two leaders spoke, they were invited today not only because of Cao Xuan's face, but also because Fanxing has been a cultural benchmark enterprise in the capital and even the mainland in the past two years.

At such a major juncture of an enterprise, it is normal for the relevant official units to send people to cheer and encourage them.

Today, however, due to the large amount of exposure today, the leaders did not wait too long, and left first after the goal was completed.

Cao Xuan saw him off in person, and when he came back, it was already the second stage of the charity party.

The charity gala is divided into a charity performance and a charity auction. The charity performance is a singer or star performing on stage. After all, if it is just an auction, it would be boring, and it is just right to have a performance to balance it out.

After the charity performance, the performing stars will cooperate with the host to call for donations, and the amount of donations will be considered as proceeds from the charity performance. At that time, the performers and donors will be included in the charity list of the charity gala tonight.

As the hosts, Liu Yan and Hua Shao first helped the host to promote the various charitable initiatives of the stars over the years.

"Fanxing has been a charity performance team since 2002. Mr. Cao Xuan personally served as the captain. He has performed voluntarily in Hope Primary School, Orphanage, Nursing Home and other welfare institutions for orphans and widows...

In 2003 SARS, in 2004 Gan Province poverty alleviation, in 2005 Southeast Asian tsunami... and other major benefit performances have never lacked our star performers.

…The artistes of the company practiced their own actions. Hu Jing is a public welfare ambassador for campus safety. She went to the front line to visit impoverished children in mountainous areas, and cooperated with the local area to practically improve the learning and living environment of children.

Fan Xiaopang is keen on charity, and has helped the poor and widowed in his hometown many times. In the Southeast Asian tsunami, he is the mainland female artist who has donated the most.

Yan Kuan and Gu Miaomiao participated in organizing charitable activities, helped charitable organizations raise funds, and eventually directly and indirectly helped more than 8000 poor patients..."

After the rise of the stars, Cao Xuan has been instilling the company's artists to do more charity.

Although these charities are very utilitarian, they have indeed made some achievements. In the Chinese entertainment circle, the stars and artists are definitely the backbone of charity.

As for the Tomorrow Fund founded by Cao Xuan himself, let alone.

From the completion of the first [May 1999th Primary School] in [-], in more than eight years, Tomorrow Fund has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to make [May [-]th Primary School] and even [May [-]th Middle School] blossom all over the country.

As of the end of October 2007, there were 10 [May 160th Primary Schools] and 23 [May 8th Middle Schools] invested by the Tomorrow Fund, with accumulated funds exceeding RMB [-] million.

If you count other charitable projects and donations, Cao Xuan's total charitable investment in the past ten years is not in the tens of figures, and it is not far behind.

Some media once gave Cao Xuan the title of "China's First Good Man", but Cao Xuan declined it.

Even today the main tone of the publicity is based on the Tomorrow Fund, and at most it can be added that it was founded by Cao Xuan, which does not mean that these are all contributed by Cao Xuan himself.

However, there are still many people who know about this matter. At the table where Cao Xuan was sitting, many business leaders raised their glasses to Cao Xuan.

Because Alibaba went public and became the company with the highest market value on the Internet, the crazy Jack Ma also had to sigh with emotion.

"Mr. Cao, I don't really admire many people. Your charitable deeds are indeed worth learning from."

Regardless of whether Cao Xuan has other goals, he actually spent hundreds of millions of real money, and the small two hundred Hope Primary Schools are standing there, which is enough to make people give him a thumbs up.

"I am also doing my best, and I will continue to work hard in the future."

Cao Xuan is very humble, but many bigwigs are speechless. You are almost donating tens of figures, and it is still a meager effort. What are we, a drop in the ocean?

Everyone looked at each other, it seemed that he was going to bleed today, otherwise he would be too stingy.

While everyone was chatting, the charity gala officially started. Gu Miaomiao was the first to appear on stage. Not only did she participate in the charity performance, but she also took out her "Rising Star" runner-up trophy for auction.

Under normal circumstances, celebrity charity performances and auction items are all exquisite.

Celebrities mostly come up with something meaningful, and the value should not be too low, otherwise the price will not be raised, and it is equivalent to treating the buyer as a fool.

On the other hand, the auction items are sponsored by companies. For example, in the previous Bazaar Charity Night, many of the auction items were actually sponsored by fashion and luxury brands, and it was not a loss if they were auctioned by celebrities.

And for these sponsors, if they sell something, they can run an advertisement with good exposure, and they can make a profit without losing money.

There are two kinds of auction items in the Stars Charity Gala, mainly star auction items, but there are also a considerable number of sponsors.

Gu Miaomiao's popularity is good, and the song "The Most Beautiful Expectation" won a lot of applause, and easily raised more than 20 donations for the charity performance, which gave today's gala a good start.

And her "Rising Star" runner-up trophy has also won the favor of many people, especially the young rich second generation who came with their elders, and they are all very enthusiastic about this sale.

It's not difficult to understand, Gu Miaomiao is beautiful and sweet, and many people want to kiss Fangze.

Take a lot of money to show your face, show your strength, and then send the trophy back on the pretext that a gentleman does not win people's love.

The routine is not difficult to understand, but unfortunately Gu Miaomiao is not interested in them.

Originally, she was just waiting for the auction, but when she saw this, she whispered a few words to Linghua of Legend of Phoenix, and Legend of Phoenix ended, and called the price of the trophy to 8 in one breath.

This price is not too much, and the two rich second generations can easily take it out, but the key is to see Gu Miaomiao's actions just now, and understand that this is someone asking for a request to take the trophy back, and it is also the meaning of rejecting the two of them, and it would be meaningless to entangle. .

So Phoenix Legend won the trophy. I believe that the trophy will return to Gu Miaomiao's home soon, which is equivalent to her donating 8 to the party.

After Gu Miaomiao, the prelude to the charity gala was completely kicked off, and one after another, the items were sent to the auction stage.

For example, Cheng Long’s red sandalwood statue of Guan Gong was bought by Cao Xuan at a price of 88 yuan, and Li Lianjie’s mutton fat jade Buddha beads were won by an entrepreneur who liked him for 40 yuan.

Of course, there are still relatively few auctions at this price, basically within tens of thousands or even 10,000+.

Many celebrities these days don’t make that much money. A few million a year is the big name. It’s a pain for them to spend tens of thousands of 10,000+ to support them. Too expensive things can’t afford it.

But it's not a star without arrogance!
Fan Xiaopang spent nearly one million in one go, and won a BMW sponsored by BMW, and became the bidder of the entire venue for a while, showing the domineering spirit of the first sister Fanxing.

But if she did this, other big spenders of the same level would be embarrassed to spend too little money.

He gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly, but had a bright smile on his face.

A certain Zhao sold an art painting for 32 yuan, Li Bingbing won a set of evening dress designed by a master for 40 yuan, Mr. Zhou won a limited edition LV leather bag, worth nearly 50 yuan, the international chapter gritted his teeth and bid 76 yuan The next one is the crystal and diamond necklace that Hu Jing took out.

He didn't fall too far from Fan Xiaopang, and he flattered the Empress of the East Palace in a disguised way.

Da Mimi, who was at the back table, couldn't help sighing, but it's a pity that she has no money, otherwise she would have to take off Sister Jing's necklace and make a face.

But for Hu Jing, she really didn't take this necklace seriously.

Many guests present, who participated in the high-price auction, basically no longer donated valuables, and those who donated valuable works would not spend a lot of money to participate in the auction.

After all, donations of money and goods are donations, and people cannot pay twice.

Unless the donated items are of average value and you think it’s really not good-looking, spend some more money to take a cheap photo or participate in a charity performance to raise money for your respect.

It's even okay not to donate, and this charity gala is not mandatory.

But it would be more disgusting to do so, if they were picked out, the outside public opinion would be bad, and it would also affect the perception of big bosses like Cao Xuan.

So basically the guests who came here spent some money, even a few thousand yuan is a good idea.

But for Hu Jing, there is no such worry about spending money. She took out a valuable crystal and diamond necklace for auction before, and then spent 118 million to bid for the limited edition Patek Philippe limited edition watch with the highest value of sponsored items today.

The fight between several big flowers just now made many people who eat melons on Penguin blog very excited.

Although the level of charitable donations is a matter of heart, but as the entertainment circle of Vanity Fair, even if it is charity, how can there be no comparison.

Fan Xiaopang spent a lot of money just now, which made her fans proud, praising her idol for being rich and kind, and Zhao, who spends the least money, was pissed off by fans from all walks of life in the big flower group.

But now Hu Jing has made the final decision and won the bid king among the big flowers with an absolute advantage, and may even be the bid king among female artists, which made many people who eat melons couldn't help but click their tongues.

[Fan Xiaopang's BMW is more practical, and it belongs to spending money to buy real benefits. This Patek Philippe watch is a luxury, with a completely different meaning]

[How should I put it, Hu Jing and them are indeed not at the same level anymore]

[Indeed, everyone is the vice president of Fanxing, and he is a bigwig in the entertainment industry, so he can no longer be counted as a pure star]

[The photographer is good or bad, specially for this group of big flowers, everyone laughs so reluctantly]

【…】

There was a lot of turmoil on the Internet, and the charity party was coming to an end. Brother Xiaoma bought Cao Xuan to perform "There Are So Many People in This World" at a price of 50. Cao Tianwang was very popular and raised more than 150 million in one go payment.

Cao Xuan himself took Cheng Long's red sandalwood portrait of Guan Gong, and he donated a set of Qing Yongzheng official kiln porcelain.

Wanda Pharaoh, Hangzhou Jack Ma and several other entrepreneurs made a move together. In the end, Pharaoh won the last laugh with an offer of 482 million and became the bidder of today's charity gala.

But in fact, it was Cao Xuan who contributed the most tonight. Auctions, donations, and charity performances, Cao Xuan made nearly [-] million donations by himself today.

However, if the party is successfully held, Cao Xuan's credit cannot be missed, and he doesn't care about it, nor does he want to fight for the bid king.

In the end, today’s charity gala raised a total of more than 3500 million yuan, which will be used to support poor and disabled children in the future.

This amount also broke the record for the highest fundraising for a similar star charity gala.

After being interviewed by the media, Cao Xuan and Hu Jing returned to Changping Villa after seeing off all the big shots.

As soon as they entered the house, Zeng Li took out the cake that had been prepared long ago, and put crowns on the two of them.

"Come on, let the two birthday stars make a wish."

Cao Xuan and Cao Xuan cooperated very well, and Hu Jing gave Cao Xuan to wear the Patek Philippe watch she had bought at the auction.

"Exactly, as your birthday present."

Cao Xuan looked at his watch, and then took out a box, which contained a Hetian jade badge with the word Hu Jing engraved on it.

"I carved the words myself, it's a bit ugly."

Cao Xuan was a little embarrassed, but Hu Jing smiled and said, "It's okay, I like it."

Zeng Li on the side was a little sour, curled his lips: "It's almost done, I can't cut the cake yet."

Hu Jing was angry: "My surname is Zeng, last time you celebrated your birthday, I personally cooked for your birthday banquet, and you just treat me like this."

"Hehe, you have the nerve to say that with those few dishes of yours, my birthday almost became my death day."

Hu Jing became furious, grabbed the cake and wiped it on Zeng Li's face, Nishigong Niangniang immediately fought back, not to be outdone.

Cao Xuan was speechless: "Both of them add up to 60, not childish."

Before he finished speaking, Hu Jing's face was covered with cream, and Zeng Li also tacitly changed Cao Xuan's carefully groomed hairstyle into a creamy head.

Just now, Cao Daguan, who was naive about them, grabbed the cake and joined the battle...
