Chapter 86 World 2 [End]

The popularity of the original niche subject matter made many investors smell business opportunities. After learning that the cost of "Song Xiaocao" was only 10 million yuan, these profit-driven people also began to look for similar scripts.

They tried to recreate some famous female characters in history and take advantage of this wave of dividends to reap the profits of women.

It is hard to say whether this plan will be successful. After all, filming and production take time, and the final results will not be seen until next year at the earliest.

The release date of "Song Xiaocao" was finally extended twice, and it was not removed from cinemas until the end of the summer vacation. After statistics, the total box office was 5.6 billion. After deducting the theater chain's share and some costs, Jing Ke, as the only investor, received an income of over 2 billion.

After this amount was announced, netizens were all paying attention to whether Jing Ke could do what he said and actually donate the more than 2 billion yuan.

Some so-called friendly competitors even hired some internet trolls to hype up the topic, trying to morally blackmail Jing Ke into returning the money.

In Jing Ke's view, more than 2 billion is nothing. If she uses her professional skills to tinker in the stock market for a while, she can get this money by shorting several listed companies.

So after receiving the dividends, Jing Ke established a special charitable foundation. He selected one hundred small counties with relatively backward educational resources as the first batch. After meeting with the local government and education bureau, he began to pay for upgrading the existing schools and provide poor students with a certain living allowance.

Jing Ke didn't want anyone to use the money she donated to fill their own stomachs, so she wrote a software specifically for this purpose, requiring that every expenditure be accurate to a few cents and accompanied by pictures.

The software is connected to the national network. Not only can internal employees see all the details, but a list of 10,000 tourists is also open every day and subject to supervision by the entire society.

Such software is excellent, and although it is a bit cumbersome to record every expense, it is the best way to prevent individuals from enriching themselves.

After the software had been running smoothly for a month, Jing Ke took the time to upgrade it and began to accept designated donations from the society.

And when using the corresponding donation, the name of the donor will be noted on the details, which greatly satisfies those big bosses who want to do good deeds and accumulate merits.

However, this software encountered some difficulties when it was put on the Internet. Many well-known charities did not want this software to be promoted at all.

The specific reason is easy to guess. If such good software is known to most people, will they also be forced by the public to use the same software?

If the detailed information was made public down to the last cent and subject to public scrutiny, how could they afford luxury cars and mansions with donations from all corners of the world? Wouldn't that cut off their source of income?

When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. The power behind the charities is complex and intertwined. Relatively small charities could not withstand the public opinion and chose to change their software.

However, the most famous charities with big bosses behind them continue to do their own thing. However, there is no gap without comparison. The amount of donations they can receive from the public is getting smaller and smaller. In the end, they can only accept some corporate charity for tax evasion in order to continue to survive.

Jing Ke had no intention of arguing with that group. Anyway, she had already handed over the core programs and codes to the people above her, so she let them discuss how to deal with it slowly.

If they can't make the bold move, then let them be. I'm not here to save all living beings. I do this more for Shao Qing and for my luck.

The controversy caused by "Song Xiaocao" has not subsided even after it was taken off the screen. However, controversy is also a good thing from a certain perspective. At least it means that there are more and more awake women now. They will not be easily tamed, but have their own thoughts.

As the only leading actress of "Song Xiaocao", Shao Qing has gained controversy as well as high popularity. Many foreign brands have approached her and want her to become their spokesperson in Asia.

Shao Qing still handed over the resource endorsement to Sister Ke to handle. Let professionals do professional things, and Shao Qing will endorse whatever Sister Ke screens out.

With the influx of a large number of patriotic films and comedies during the National Day holiday, the attention attracted by "Song Xiaocao" gradually declined.

But after the nominations for major awards were announced at the end of the year, "Song Xiaocao" once again became popular with eight nominations.

"No way, eight nominations, that's too much, right? I admit that "Song Xiaocao" is indeed well-made, but it can't be that outrageous, right?"

[Hey, buddy, do you think you can cross-dress by changing your profile to female? Look at the disgusting updates you're posting.]

[Sour grapes, maybe it's because the producers of a dreadful film that boasted a 300 million investment but only grossed 10 million hired some trolls?]

I need to remind everyone here that the new regulations are being enforced. Hundreds of people have already been punished, and several people are being publicly executed almost every day.

After the news spread, most netizens' attention returned to the drama "Song Xiaocao".

However, under the threat of the new regulations, bloggers with larger follower counts have refrained from joining the fight. After all, if they were to publicly express their views, their likes could easily exceed 500, reaching the penalty threshold.

In addition, there was nothing wrong with the production of "Song Xiaocao". As the biggest beneficiary, Jing Ke donated the money to reward the school. The donation of more than 2 billion yuan was enough for Jing Ke to receive praise from most official media.

It is naturally impossible to win all eight nominations, but it is not difficult for "Song Xiaocao" to win half of the honors.

The first award that the crew of "Song Xiaocao" won was the Best Supporting Actor Award, which was given to Jiang Qingyi, who played the role of Song Xiaocao's mentor for free.

When Jiang Qingyi appeared on stage, she received a lot of attention and applause from the guests present, especially those artists who were about the same age as Jiang Qingyi. They had witnessed Jiang Qingyi's former glory and were very happy that she could get rid of the haze and appear here.

The Best Director Award was undoubtedly given to Director Zhang. Whether in terms of real ability or qualifications, Director Zhang is the well-deserved number one.

In addition, "Song Xiaocao" also won the Best Story Award. The deputy director went on stage to receive the award. She choked up and said a lot, and at least one-third of her words were thanks to Jing Ke.

The most anticipated awards for Best Actor and Best Actress were naturally announced at the end.

There is almost no love line in the plot of "Song Xiaocao" and there is no so-called male lead, so the former must have nothing to do with the crew of "Song Xiaocao". In the end, the actor who won the Best Actor award was the male lead who ranked first in the National Day box office.

Patriotism will never be a cold topic, and it can also occupy a lot of advantages in official selections.

"Next, it's time to announce the winner of the Best Actress award. I believe everyone already has the answer in their hearts, right?" said the host with a smile.

When the host looked at the guest stage, the lighting technician also sensibly turned the light on Shao Qing and Jing Ke.

As the camera turned, Jing Ke and Shao Qing, who were whispering to each other, appeared on the big screen and live broadcast camera.

[Ahhhh, I knew it was my wife Qingqing who won the award! After so many years, my wife Qingqing finally won the Best Actress award again!]

[The CP is real! They didn't forget to whisper to each other in this situation, so keep it up!]

[Are you a recent fan? Boss Jing and Shao Qing are so full of content, whether it's clips, fanfiction, or photos together, I could easily post several gigabytes.]

[What? I don't believe it unless you send it to me!]

[I'll post it now. I'll put a network disk on my homepage. You can pick it up yourself if you want.]

[If you find it too much trouble, you can also check out Boss Jing and Shao Qing's Weibo albums. Just don't overdo it.]

[This is so sweet! The coat on my wife Qingqing looks exactly like my boss Jing's.]

After briefly whetting the audience's appetite, the big screen soon began playing some classic clips of "Song Xiaocao" and the host also called out Shao Qing's name.

Amidst warm applause, Shao Qing walked onto the stage wearing Jing Ke's white suit jacket and a red haute couture dress.

"I am very grateful for everyone's recognition and support. I thank Director Zhang for choosing me, and I also thank every staff member in the crew for their hard work..." Shao Qing began the usual thank-you process, and mentioned Jing Ke at the end.

"I should have thanked Boss Jing as well, but he's told me many times that given our relationship, saying thank you would be too awkward, so I decided not to."

Shao Qing's eyebrows curved, "I would like to take this opportunity to announce something to everyone."

After a three-second pause, Shao Qing raised his left hand, the large pink diamond on it was particularly eye-catching.

"Your boss Jing has agreed to marry me. From now on, she will be Jing Ke, and only I. After the wedding date is set, I will ask Jing Ke to pick 100 of her Weibo fans to attend our wedding."

Shao Qing said, the smile on his face was even brighter than when he received the trophy.

[What? What! My couple is getting married! Ahhhh! I can support them forever!]

[Oh my god, did you hear that? My wife Qingqing proposed to Boss Jing! Sure enough, Shao Ke is the real one! I didn't expect Boss Jing, who looks so impressive, to be the one being proposed to. I love this contrast!]

[Boss Jing probably only feels a sense of contrast in front of Shao Qing. I heard that many marketing accounts were banned by Boss Jing because they spread rumors about Shao Qing.]

[Banned by Boss Jing? This brings back some distant memories. I remember Shao Qing had a fan who was an amazing hacker. Could it be...?]

[You guys are really good at imagining things. Boss Jing's major is finance and investment, so he can't be a hacker, right?]

[But wasn’t that awesome software written by Boss Jing?]

[This wasn't written by Boss Jing, but by Boss Jing's employees. Boss Jing should be the client, and it seems there are also official personnel involved.]

[That's right. Boss Jing is so busy hanging out with his wife Qingqing every day that he probably doesn't have time to study computer technology. And most importantly, Boss Jing has such thick hair that he doesn't look like a programmer at all!]

At this time, after seeing that public opinion was pulled back, a staff member who had been working silently finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Leader, it seems that some fans have guessed that Teacher Jing can write programs. Should we strengthen security?" asked the staff member.

"Also, let's go to Hildea Island in advance to investigate. If nothing unexpected happens, your teacher Jing's wedding will be held there, and the security work must be done well at that time." A cadre said.

The audience watching the live broadcast had no idea that their unintentional words had made a certain department nervous for a long time. They were still immersed in posting comments and urging Boss Jing to come on stage.

It's hard to refuse the public's feelings right now. Jing Ke is not a shy person. After seeing that the organizers didn't mind that an investor like her went on stage, she went on stage with the same blue diamonds of different colors.

"Thank you all for your support, and I hope you will continue to support Shao Qing." Jing Ke took the microphone and said, "I don't plan to live broadcast the wedding, but we will select some photos to post online later."

"By the way, we plan to select ninety-nine lucky winners through the lottery platform on that day, and each of them can get 990,000." Jing Ke added slowly.

"I don't mean to stir up any gender confrontation, but I can clearly feel that female fans support us more, so 90 of them will be female fans and the other 9 will be male fans."

Jing Ke paused and said, "This is the ratio calculated by professionals. If you have doubts about me, please do not participate in the lottery."

"Finally, I hope more women can have the same tenacious and never-give-up spirit as Song Xiaocao, dare to resist the injustice of fate, and bloom gorgeous flowers anywhere," Jing Ke concluded.

This was what the two of them had agreed upon while whispering to each other. Neither Jing Ke nor Shao Qing wanted to encroach on the popularity that should have belonged to Song Xiaocao.

[Woo woo woo, what Boss Jing said is very good. Not only did she say that, she is also doing it with Qingqing's wife! ]

[My CP must last forever and never die! ]

[Boss Jing and Shao Qing will definitely be together forever. Even if I’m ninety-nine, I’ll still be able to enjoy the sweet moments of Jing Qing’s couple!]
