In terms of academic achievements and qualifications, Mr. Fu is much better than Wen Ying.
But when it comes to royalty income, Mr. Fu is far behind Wen Ying.
Mr. Fu is not as rich as Wen Ying. Mr. Fu donated 1 million yuan to the literature fund, but he was unwilling to name it after himself. Wen Ying admired him very much for his state of mind!
When the "Dream Building Fund" was established, a press conference was inevitable.
The media were invited to the scene, and as they listened to Wen Ying introduce the composition of the "Dream Building Fund", the reporters looked at each other in confusion.
"Xiaoyu, is it true that you offered 5 million?"
"The fund is purely for public welfare purposes—"
"Exactly 5 million, no more, no less. Could it be because of the recent publicity about 'a script being quoted 5 million'?"
What a coincidence.
Wen Ying was criticized a lot for quoting 5 million yuan for writing a movie script. Now she has donated the 5 million yuan she earned to the "Dream Building Fund".
This literary fund had an initial capital of 20 million yuan, and one of its main purposes was to support impoverished writers in their pursuit of creative endeavors. A writer's pen is a sword, and how could the impoverished writers supported by the "Dream Building Fund" have the nerve to criticize Wen Ying in the future?
The reporter meant that Wen Ying set up this foundation in order to win over the critics and to enhance her own reputation.
Although other people think so, they are not stupid enough to say it out loud.
Several unfriendly looks were cast at the reporter, but the reporter stiffened his neck and refused to give in, insisting that Wen Ying answer the question.
Wen Ying raised her hand, refusing Yuan Fenghui's offer to answer on her behalf as her agent. She calmly responded to the camera, which was about to be thrust into her face, "I want to clarify one thing. The 'Dream Building Fund' was actually established by Junyue Culture. I'm just a follower, not the initiator. As for whether my investment of 5 million yuan in the fund was intended to reverse the recent wave of public opinion—I personally don't deny that this was the reason."
Well.
She actually admitted it?
I thought Wen Ying would deny it, but I didn't expect her to admit it so readily.
The reporter who asked the question was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he immediately looked at his own cameraman.
The camera carried by the cameraman was flashing a red light, indicating that the image of Wen Ying answering the question had been recorded!
The reporter became even more excited instantly.
"You admit that your motives for investing in the 'Dream Building Fund' were impure?!"
Wen Ying nodded, "Admit it."
"and you--"
Wen Ying interrupted the excited reporter, "You've asked me several questions. Can you answer one for me? Putting aside the journalist's professional instinct to chase hot news, do you like me as a person?"
What is the problem?
The reporter suspected that Wen Ying was setting a trap for him, and answered very cautiously: "You are so talented, no one would hate you."
There is nothing wrong with this answer. He can advance or retreat. He is indeed a cunning media person.
Wen Ying was embarrassed to attack an honest person, but she was never afraid of dealing with cunning people. Her smile suddenly widened. "If you don't dislike me, then you like me. You clearly don't dislike me, yet you always ask me some pointed questions. Aren't you being hypocritical? On one hand, it's personal preference, and on the other, it's the requirements of the profession. I know you're in a dilemma. But don't worry, I won't be disgusted by your 'impure motives'. I know journalists have to chase hot news, and I understand your difficulties, so I will never avoid your questions."
The reporter was confused by Wen Ying's words.
Yuan Fenghui took the microphone. "Xiaoyu's point is, we're all ordinary people, and we all have selfish motives when doing something. As long as those motives don't hurt others, why delve into them? Regardless of Xiaoyu's motives, she really did donate 5 million yuan to the 'Dream Building Fund,' and this fund will indeed help many people. So, even if she doesn't deserve praise for what she did, she shouldn't at least be blamed, right?"
The reporter choked.
This is the truth, and journalists understand it. But as Wen Ying said, if journalists' questions aren't sharp, how can the news be so flat and predictable?
The public just wants to see conflicts and explosive moments!
The reporter was well-informed and incredibly shameless: "Xiaoyu donated 5 million yuan to the 'Dream Building Fund', and her own reputation has improved. This is a good PR deal."
This is quite excessive.
Wen Ying admitted that she had selfish motives in doing this, but the reporters attributed her donation of 5 million yuan to selfish motives.
Yuan Fenghui suspected that this reporter was sent by Ran Keqing to cause trouble. She was furious, but she wore a gentle smile. "Xiaoyu is so busy, how could she have the time to do her own PR? But you asked such pointed questions today, and after the press conference, you might get scolded by netizens. Why not donate some money to the Dream Building Fund now and buy yourself some good reputation?"
"I'm reporting the news truthfully. I don't need to buy any good reputation."
"Hey, don't be so stingy. Donating money to the Dream Building Fund is a good deed. Are you really unwilling to do so?"
Yuan Fenghui pressed on step by step, and the reporter who asked the question blushed.
——This is forcing donations in public!
Journalists often embarrass others, but it is very rare that they are forced to donate in return!
Without waiting for a reply, Yuan Fenghui changed the subject with a regretful tone, "I don't think you're trying to buy a good reputation, you're just reluctant to spend the money. Don't say you earn less than Xiaoyu. Good deeds should always be done within one's means. Xiaoyu donated 5 million, so you can donate 50,000 or even 5,000... Okay, okay, I was just joking. I wouldn't really ask you to donate money. Our Dream Building Fund isn't accepting donations for the time being."
Wen Ying donated 5 million yuan of her own money to the "Dream Building Fund", but her motives were questioned. If she accepted donations from outside, there would definitely be readers who would follow suit.
It will be even more difficult to explain by then.
Even if the expenditures are announced to the public, some people will still suspect that Wen Ying is using the "Dream Building Fund" to make money from readers.
No need.
By managing and operating these 20 million yuan well, the "Dream Building Fund" can play a big role without accepting donations from readers!
The reporter was so embarrassed by Yuan Fenghui's ridicule that he felt uncomfortable.
Just as he was trying to find another way to challenge Wen Ying, a thin figure appeared at the entrance of the venue.
Wen Ying was sharp-eyed and immediately pushed aside the reporters and trotted over.
"Why are you here..."
The thin figure was none other than Mr. Fu.
Mr. Fu donated 1 million yuan to the "Dream Building Fund". Not only did he refuse to name it after him, he also initially did not plan to appear at the press conference.
It’s not that Mr. Fu doesn’t want to come, but Wen Ying heard that Mr. Fu has been unwell recently and doesn’t want him to travel.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Fu still arrived at the scene!
The old man was supported by Wen Ying as he walked onto the stage. A reporter recognized him and the interview team became a little agitated.
It’s no secret that Mr. Fu favors Wen Ying. I didn’t expect him to support Wen Ying again today!
It was also because the reporter who asked the question was impatient. The host started asking questions to Wen Ying before he finished introducing the investors of the "Dream Building Fund", so the reporters didn't know that Mr. Fu was also one of the investors!
"Xiaoyu donated money to the Dream Building Fund for PR. Is it also for PR that an old man like me contributes? You guys, if you were more pure-minded, you'd be able to produce higher-quality news interviews!"
