When the number of votes reached 10 million, the audience was shouting 666. When it reached 20 million, the audience was shouting “Awesome!”. When the number reached 30 million, everyone was very excited. When the number reached 40 million, some people had already started taking screenshots and spreading them around.
And now, Shengquan has invested 100 million.
This immediately shocked everyone.
What is the concept of 100 million? If it is converted into 100 yuan bills, it would require a truck to carry it.
If you put it in the bank, the interest alone would be enough for an average family to live on for a lifetime.
If you buy lottery tickets, the first prize is usually only 10 million, and 100 million means winning the first prize ten times.
Sheng Quan invested 100 million just by tapping the panel.
【Ah ...
[Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god]
[One hundred million!!! One hundred million!!!]
The audience seemed to have turned into screaming chickens in an instant. If they were shocked by the 40 million before, now, the only thing they could see was the 100 million.
Jinjiu also stood there in surprise, looking up at the big screen.
An Baixing in the backstage almost choked to death on the peach in his mouth: "Oh my god, one hundred million, I wouldn't even dare to do this in my dreams."
Chief Director Zhou Weigang held the hands of the people around him, his legs were weak: "One hundred million, it's going to be a big hit, it's definitely going to be a big hit!!"
"Yes!! One hundred million for a single vote! Oh my god, I can't even imagine it, this will definitely go viral on the Internet!"
"No, it's not just that!" Zhou Weigang's life was indeed not going as well as it should have been, but there was absolutely no problem with his ability to do things, otherwise, with just his mouth, he wouldn't have been able to host a show on his own.
His thoughts were clear: "The circulation platform has been approved in advance. The money will go directly to national charities. With this investment by Director Sheng, the donation amount will be in the hundreds of millions. How do you think the authoritative media will report it?"
His hands were shaking with excitement, and he spoke faster and faster: "The entertainment industry has never been liked by authoritative media. Almost every report is critical. But if we can get positive coverage from those authoritative media like People's Daily this time, our program and our station will be recognized by the country. No, that's not right..."
Zhou Weigang looked at Sheng Quan in the audience on the screen. She was still as calm and composed as ever. He suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. She had already calculated it. She had planned to invest the 100 million from the beginning."
The subordinates didn't understand: "From the beginning? Even if Mr. Sheng invested 50 million, wouldn't he still be able to outperform others?"
"She doesn't want to suppress just one person, she wants everyone to become her foil. There's a saying that goes, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. This Mr. Sheng doesn't even bother to be the head of a chicken. He decided from the beginning that he would be the head of a phoenix."
There was admiration and relief in Zhou Weigang's eyes.
Sheng Quan used a blatant conspiracy, which was not even a conspiracy.
She did not stop others from stealing her limelight, because she knew from the beginning that no one could steal her limelight.
Even if someone is ruthless enough and willing to pay more than 100 million to grab the limelight, he will not have so much cash flow.
Who could have thought that Sheng Quan would have 100 million in cash flow, and she donated it without blinking an eye.
At least Wansheng’s two shareholders could not imagine that someone could be so crazy.
They didn’t drink water when they saw this live clip, but they almost choked to death: “Is Sheng Quan crazy?!!! One hundred million?!!!”
"Why not use the 100 million for something else? Why not use it to invest in a small singer?! She said she liked this one a long time ago. I'd give her ten of them!!!"
The two of them went to the official website with trembling hands and did not give up. They then went to the national charity platform that was in contact with "Singing With You" and actually saw the donation information on it.
The two looked at each other, both of them were devastated.
The program team didn’t make it up, Sheng Quan really donated 100 million.
They really have the urge to cry at this moment. Why should you have said earlier that you would donate 100 million? Then why are they still making such a fuss?
They barely managed to raise the 40 million by using their own personal funds and the company's cash flow.
It is certain that everyone's money is tied up in the company, and there won't be much cash flow on hand.
Who the hell would have thought that Sheng Quan would have 100 million in his hands.
It was a big gamble, but it was lost so quickly, and the only effect was to add fuel to a company that was already in the process of collapse.
"Don't think about that for now."
Chen Xuan was trying hard to suppress all the emotions in his heart: "Let's think about how to apologize to Sheng Quan first."
The crumbling Wansheng can't afford to offend someone who can easily come up with 100 million yuan in donations.
He Qi also knew the pros and cons, but he still couldn't suppress his anger: "Will it be of any use if we go? Gu Zhao is now under Sheng Quan's command. He might tell Sheng Quan about us. When I think about facing that kid Gu Zhao, I feel so angry that I can't swallow it no matter what."
"What else? Make an enemy of Sheng Quan directly? Do you dare? She can come up with 100 million. Is your anger bigger than 100 million?"
He Qi: ...I swallowed the anger in my heart instantly.
"…You're right. You should apologize and choose a day for us to go together."
As for the idea of "Since you caused us to lose 40 million, we must become mortal enemies with you and fight you to the death", it never appeared in the minds of the two from beginning to end.
They certainly don't have any talent in managing a company, but that doesn't mean they have low IQs.
Only a fool would mess with someone who can take out 100 million in cash.
At the same time, the original amount on the national charity platform also saw a sudden jump.
As mentioned before, charity in the Astral World is strictly controlled. After a "misappropriation of charity funds incident" that shocked the country, all charitable organizations were required to be transparent across the entire network. No matter "in" or "out", even a penny must be made public.
Of course, openness and transparency also have their corresponding disadvantages, but this policy has been implemented. Any Chinese citizen can check the details of charitable organizations of all sizes.
Of course, there are great benefits to doing this. For example, people who were originally not interested in charity will feel more at ease to donate, and will be able to clearly see that their money is going to good use, which greatly promotes the progress of donations.
After all, even if you donate only 50 cents, it will appear on the list of the national platform, and you can also check where your donation is used. The spiritual comfort will motivate people to donate a second or even multiple times.
Du Xiuli doesn’t know what others think since the implementation of this policy, but as a staff member of a charity organization, she is very happy, especially when she sees with her own eyes that the money falls into the hands of those who should be helped, she feels a great sense of satisfaction in her heart.
Du Xiuli was still very happy today. She was checking the work in her hands as usual. Suddenly, she heard someone in the office speaking in a low but loud voice:
"One hundred million per person?!"
Du Xiuli frowned and looked over: "It's working hours, do your job well."
"Director, look."
The guy who couldn't hold back his loud voice came over happily:
"The education donation platform suddenly received a large donation. When we checked, we found that one person alone donated 100 million yuan."
Du Xiuli was also a little shocked when she heard it.
Having assets worth hundreds of millions is not uncommon in China, but donating over 100 million at a time... who is that? "A talent show?"
"Yes, it focuses on public welfare and has been connected with us, so the money will be directly deposited into the account. I have just confirmed that there is no problem with the process and everything is in accordance with regulations."
The only thing the young man was a little unsure about was: "Such a large donation can be listed as a model, but this is mediated by the program as a third party. So should we commend the program or the individual?"
Du Xiuli was also unsure.
This was the first time she had seen a single donation of hundreds of millions from a single individual in all her long work, and there was no set rules to follow.
She simply stood up and said, "I'll go ask the higher-ups, you guys continue working."
One hundred million.
It would be unjustifiable not to give praise.
When the organization was holding a meeting to discuss this sudden large donation, Sheng Quan was surrounded by the media at the door as soon as the show ended.
In fact, the media had blocked her twice before, but she left through another passage each time, so these people didn't block her.
And this time, she cooperated and was blocked.
She had been reported by the media before, but they were all paparazzi who took photos secretly. The headlines of the reports were so outrageous that they almost engraved the three words "clickbait" on their faces: "Sheng Quan is surrounded by beauties on both sides and takes a comfortable hot spring trip with handsome men" - she was soaking in the hot spring, and the driver and Assistant Dong were waiting outside.
"Sheng Quan and Ming Qi go shopping in the market, it seems good news is coming" - the content is that Ming Qi's contract is about to expire, and she will definitely switch to Xingmang Entertainment.
"Sheng Quan travels, his luxury car impresses passers-by" - With the picture, Sheng Quan is sitting in the car drinking soy milk, and a passer-by outside is taking pictures with a surprised look on his face.
——She still suspects that the passerby was actually a paparazzi in disguise.
In short, it was their first face-to-face contact, and the entertainment media who had never been able to interview Sheng Quan were all very happy.
It would have been better if she wasn't blocked by a tall guy who was at least 190cm tall and looked like a strong fighter.
Assistant Dong did try to stand in front of Sheng Quan, but because of his low height and body shape, he was naturally ignored by the media friends.
Sheng Quan patted the driver who was very diligent and responsible and completely blocked him behind him. He understood and moved aside, revealing the boss who was originally covered tightly.
At Xingmang Entertainment, Gu Zhao sat behind his desk, watching Sheng Quan on the screen smiling as he responded to the question, "Is 100 million votes too exaggerated?"
"If it was just an ordinary show, I certainly wouldn't invest so much money, but since all the money will be used for charity, I think there's no problem."
"Yes, I like Jin Jiu very much. At first, I accidentally heard his previous singing voice. Later, the more I got to know him, the more I liked him. Of course, I definitely want him to join the big family of Xingmang Entertainment. I will go to talk to him soon."
"I also want to thank "Singing With You". I am actually a very frugal person. Hahahaha, no kidding. I am also very stingy. I only add one egg to my pancakes.
This is also the first time I have come across such a platform where every penny invested can help out-of-school children. It allows me to feel at ease to support my favorite singers, because you know that every penny of your love will be transformed into help for others, which makes me feel great. "
"The program crew changed the time for me? Hahahaha, do you believe me when I say I didn't know about it? I really didn't get any advance notice, and I only found out about it after seeing the trending searches. In fact, I just said that, and decided to come that day no matter how late it was. Yes, on the one hand, it was for Jinjiu, and on the other hand, it was because this program is for public welfare purposes. It's really amazing that it can combine entertainment and public welfare together.
It seems that the public always thinks that things in the entertainment industry are chaotic, but I actually think that a good work, a good artist, and a good program can also bring positive energy to people. I hope that there will be more programs like "Singing With You" that are positive, entertaining, and contribute to society. "
After asking a bunch of questions, another reporter asked: "One hundred million is not a small amount after all. Do you think you will regret the decision you made tonight?"
Sheng Quan smiled at the camera and said without hesitation: "No."
"My favorite line from Qin Heng's "The Road of Life" is: [You can be a happy good person, because doing good things can make people happy], which touched me deeply."
"I can tell you for sure that I am happy to be able to donate 100 million."
Gu Zhao watched the scene on the screen cut to the reporter, and a rare look of relief appeared between his brows.
This one hundred million is enough to make those who look down on Star Entertainment feel guilty.
They will suddenly find that they really want to be friends with Xingmang, a new company, and are willing to cooperate with Xingmang. As for the fact that the head of such a large company is only 23 years old, after Sheng Quan was able to donate 100 million yuan, let alone 23 years old, even if she was thirteen or three years old, there would still be a bunch of people surrounding her and calling her Director Sheng.
For example, in Wansheng, Gu Zhao could conclude that within three days, Chen Xuanzheng and He Qi would appear in the office of Xingmang Entertainment and reminisce the good times in the past with him in a friendly manner.
No, based on the personalities of these two people, it is more likely that they would call him first to establish a relationship with him, saying some nonsense like "How are you doing recently?" or "Would you like to have a drink?"
In fact, these two choices were not wrong this time. The 40 million gamble, if won, could save Wansheng, which was on the decline.
But they didn't expect that Sheng Quan would only have 100 million.
Gu Zhaozheng was thinking when his cell phone rang.
He lowered his eyes to take a look, and when the call was connected, Chen Xuanzheng's smiling voice came from the other end: "Gu Zhao, it's me. How have you been recently? Do you want to come out for a drink together?"
Gu Zhao lowered his head and looked at his watch: "Not bad, Mr. Sheng is very nice to me, we can have a drink, and I also want to talk to you about the termination of Huaqing's contract."
Chen Xuan's face instantly turned green: "Hua Qing was pushed out by Wansheng with great difficulty. She is one of the four little flowers. You know how important she is to Wansheng. I can't possibly give her to you Xingmang."
Gu Zhao raised his eyebrows and leaned back in his chair. He looked like he was going to talk for a long time, but he said, "So we can't talk anymore? Goodbye."
"Wait a minute!" Although they had never met, just by listening to the tone, Chen Xuan could imagine Gu Zhao's cold and dead face. Just thinking about it made his spleen, liver and kidneys ache, but thinking about the current situation of the company, he could only endure the pain and change his words: "...If Xingmang wants, we can talk, but this condition..."
Ten minutes later Gu Zhao opened the drawer and threw the stack of documents inside into the trash can.
Secretary Zhang came in to deliver the documents. Seeing the documents in the trash can, he looked at him in surprise: "Mr. Gu, don't you want this anymore?"
Last night, Gu Zhao forced them to work overtime.
"Lost it."
Gu Zhao took the document he handed over in a good mood:
"For a long time to come, we at Xingmang will not encounter any more malicious competition."
Not only that, they will also usher in a surge in attention.
This huge donation will instantly attract the attention of the entire network, and it will no longer be the previous small-scale event, with the highest popularity only ranking third or fourth on the hot searches.
Doing charity work on an entertainment show and achieving such great results has a social impact that cannot be underestimated. The media has always been generous in reporting on such positive entertainment industry events.
Gu Zhao's mood was not just good, it was extremely comfortable.
He thoroughly felt the gap between his time in Wansheng and now.
In Wansheng, he was responsible for two tasks at the same time, and the exhaustion from work was not as severe as the speechlessness he felt when facing his two former employers.
At Xingmang, he only needs to work hard. Sheng Quan will not only give him enough trust, but also lead the entire company forward.
The more Gu Zhao thought about it, the happier he felt. He immediately decided to work overtime until ten o'clock tonight to celebrate.
Gu Zhao's early celebration was correct.
This one hundred million really ignited everyone's enthusiasm.
The media rushed to report the story. If they couldn't interview Sheng Quan, they would interview the program crew. If they couldn't interview the program crew, they would interview the audience in the audience. Some even went to interview the head of a national charity organization.
As the chief director guessed, this behavior of "legitimate entertainment, combining entertainment with public welfare" has been recognized by authoritative media.
In particular, Sheng Quan’s comments that “a good program can bring positive energy to fans” and “feel free to express your love for your favorite contestants while helping others at the same time” were highly recognized by authoritative media.
"Positive Energy Star Chasing", "Watch Good Shows, Sing Good Songs, Be a Good Person", "You Can Be a Happy Good Person".
Authority is authority after all. When those media that usually refrain from praising the entertainment industry come forward, some entertainment media that were originally on the sidelines instantly establish their stance and follow suit in praising it.
It’s an age of entertainment, but not everyone pays attention to entertainment.
But if an individual donates 100 million yuan, 80% of people will click on the title to take a look.
After reading it, you will start chain searching.
Who is Sheng Quan? Oh~ She is a young rich man, so rich. Huaxing Building is also hers. Pay attention to her.
Who is Jinjiu? He sings really well, wow! Was he so miserable before? He was able to train his voice again despite being so miserable, so inspiring, pay attention to him.
Which company is Xingmang Entertainment? Oh, it turns out to be Shengquan's company. Let's see who the artists they signed are.
What is "Life Road"? Who is Qin Heng? It turns out that Sheng Quan is the investor of "Life Road". He invested in order to ensure the quality of the original work. What is the handsome guy in the pancake stall? Yan Hui is so handsome, wow, Lin Aike is also so beautiful. Watch the clips, the styling and acting are good. This is 70% a good drama. Remember it first and try to catch it when it starts airing.
A chain reaction occurred, and all people and things related to Shengquan appeared in front of the public, and were either known, noticed, or recognized by people.
Even those who are usually not interested in these gossips will be willing to pay some attention after seeing the "donation of 100 million".
Sheng Quan, a man who signed artists and set up companies by buying a pancake, a man who did not want the original work to be ruined and would rather invest his own money to ensure the quality of the adapted drama, and a man who could donate 100 million yuan in a single charity program.
How can we not pay attention to this?
Even Strawberry TV, which appeared most frequently, had to admit that Sheng Quan had worthwhile investment of the 100 million yuan.
The most important and indispensable attention in the entertainment industry almost overflows in front of her.
This 100 million bought her a...
——Attracting everyone's attention.
