Esquire Charity Gala is a charity fund-raising event initiated by the founder of Esquire Fashion Magazine and several well-known media people more than ten years ago. At first, it was a small-scale invitation to stars to participate, and the stars' former clothing and supplies were put up for auction. , The funds raised are donated to those in need.
The party is held every year, with a different theme every year. From the very beginning, there was no support from top brands or a lot of funding. After more than ten years of development, it has gradually become a top event in the entertainment and fashion circles.
More and more donations are raised every year, and the nature of the party has gradually changed.
The stars who came to participate are not like the first few sessions, holding a pure mentality of contributing a little strength to the public welfare, and more of the competition between stars, fighting for the top.
The focus of the media is not on the poor people in need, but on how much money the star donated, and whether the donation is worthy of his/her coffee position.
In order to make the source and destination of the donations transparent, the organizer of the Esquire party will accept public supervision. After the party every year, it will publish the auction situation of the party and the details of the donations raised on the official website. This is a good thing, but It was used by the media and online mobs to raise their eyebrows and criticize them.
"Last year, that Ding Zhitao didn't donate and still stood for a group photo at C. He was scolded by Heizi even for the 18th generation of his ancestors." Luo Peng scooped up half the watermelon and the small spoon in his arms, gushing endlessly to Yu Siyang to popularize Esquire The common sense of the party, "Last year, there were too many people who didn't donate money. Those mobs also had a hole in their brains. They just stared at Ding Zhitao and scolded him. They even scolded the news of his hit-and-run a few years ago."
The dressmaker who helped Yu Siyang tidy up his clothes also followed the gossip and said, "Well, he even told him to run away, and he scolded him for a year without turning over. The trolls are also disgusting, it's just that they don't have other donations. The person who looks good, just stares at him and scolds, and there is a little fresh meat not only not donating money, but also showing off at a charity party, so why not scold him."
"I remember that Ding Zhitao has been subsidizing some poor children with leukemia to see a doctor." The makeup artist has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and he knows a thing or two about private matters. "Last year, he invested in a movie, which hit the street at the box office. It's so bad that he has no money to pay back his debts, and it's understandable that he doesn't have money to donate."
"The trolls don't think so. Some media also like to pick things up. With Ding Zhitao's status in the circle, the C position of the group photo station is also reasonable." Tang Hang also joined the gossip group.
Yu Siyang listened to them, and the more he listened, the more he felt that it was not a charity party at all, but a dragon pond and a tiger's den.
"Can I not go?" He asked Luo Peng pitifully.
Luo Peng choked a mouthful of watermelon in his throat, his face flushed from coughing, he finally managed to recover, put the watermelon on the table with lingering fears, and asked, "It's about to start, why don't you want to go suddenly? Walking the red carpet with Brother Zhan."
"You are so terrifying..." You have to pay for your work, and you have to be criticized.
More importantly, he has no money! ! !
How to donate without money
"It's not scary, it's not scary, we are all talking nonsense," Luo Peng quickly reassured: "And you are the eighteenth line, no one will pay attention to you."
Yu Siyang's face was full of grief and indignation - yesterday he said that he was already in the third line, and today he has become the eighteenth line, how many lines is it
"Mr. Xue has already helped you donate the money to the organizer." Tang Hang said.
Yu Siyang looked at Xue Chengxiu in surprise, "Donated, donated? How much did you donate?"
"One hundred thousand." Xue Chengxiu removed the notebook on his lap, got up from the sofa, walked over to Yu Siyang and helped him arrange the decoration on his chest, "With your current status of 'Eighteenth Line', one hundred thousand yuan The money is just right, and the media will have something to say if there is more or less.”
Named and criticized by the boss, Luo Peng lowered his head and pretended to be dead, took the watermelon back into his arms, and became a quiet melon eater.
One hundred thousand
Yu Siyang was depressed, and he had another debt.
It's not that he is unwilling to do public welfare, and he thinks it should be done according to his ability. After his living conditions improved a little, he donated part of his salary every month to the orphanage where he lived for more than ten years. .
He is an orphan, and he understands the hardships of an orphan's life, and he will do what he can to help.
But now, in this situation, it's like a slap in the face to make a fat man. As a person with negative assets, he wears a suit of more than 300,000 yuan, and donates a fake 100,000 yuan, and then fights for himself some pages and earns a reputation.
Such charity is not real charity at all.
"I don't like this kind of party." Yu Siyang was very depressed.
Luo Peng and Tang Hang looked at each other, they were fine, but they were suddenly unhappy.
Xue Chengxiu asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Xue, change your clothes." After the costumer helped Yu Siyang tidy up, he brought another suit over.
Xue Chengxiu shook his head and motioned the costumer to wait a moment.
All Star Entertainment goes to the Esquire Charity Gala every year, and takes pictures of the auction items in the name of the company to donate money. This year, his child was abducted by Zhan Heng to the party. Xue Chengxiu asked the general manager of Quanxing to bring the invitation letter and he went there in person.
"When I have the ability, I will donate more money to the orphanage," Yu Siyang said, "I don't like this kind of fake charity gala."
My own child is really annoying. Xue Chengxiu wanted to rub the boy's hair, but seeing that his hairstyle was already set, he stretched out his hand and did it halfway.
"Yangyang, this is a matter of mutual benefit." Xue Chengxiu said: "The organizer must have a good reputation to maintain its position in the industry, and the stars must have resources and resources. However, it cannot be denied that the tens of millions of donations raised every year. , can still help those in need.”
The entertainment industry is a big Vanity Fair. Every year, all kinds of parties, award ceremonies, banquets hosted by big bosses, and even privately saved games are all small Vanity Fairs, full of various interests. There, no one can avoid them.
"You have to learn how to use these resources instead of being at the mercy of these interests. With more resources, higher status, and greater energy, you can do more things and help more people."
The confusion in Yu Siyang's eyes gradually faded, and he nodded lightly, "I understand." Then, without hesitation, he sent Xue Chengxiu a good person card: "Mr. Xue, you are really a good person."
No matter how many times this child is corrected, he is still called "Mr. Xue", and he will never change. Xue Chengxiu, who was issued a good card, sighed in his heart, but couldn't help but pat the top of the boy's hair.
He felt that he was really becoming more and more like Yu Siyang's father, and he always had an inexhaustible concern for his own children.
After Xue Chengxiu's father finished getting dressed, the group set off to the hotel where the party was.
Yu Siyang wanted to walk the red carpet with Zhan Heng to enter the venue, while Xue Chengxiu entered the venue directly through the VIP passage. Outside the hotel, Yu Siyang got off first and went to find Zhan Heng with Luo Peng Tang Hang.
At this time, the red carpet entry ceremony had already begun. The red carpet was crowded with media and fans. The first ones were celebrities with relatively small cafes. Zhan Heng opened a room in the hotel as a lounge, and waited until the time was up. Take the other aisle and bypass the front door of the hotel to walk the red carpet.
When the three of Yu Siyang entered, not only Zhan Heng and his management team and modeling team, but also Wei Xiaofeng were in the room.
The three looked at aliens, their eyes twitching between Wei Xiaofeng and Zhan Heng.
"Humph!" Wei Xiaofeng turned her head arrogantly, too lazy to pay attention to these three idiots.
Originally, Tang Hang was considered to be stable, so he arranged for Yu Siyang to be his assistant, but he never thought that Luo Peng's second-hand virus was too infective, infecting the stable Tang Hang more and more and more and more gossip.
As a senior agent with great influence in the circle, Wei Xiaofeng definitely wants to attend such a party, but he is willing to be in the same room with Zhan Heng... Could it be that after dinner that day, Brother Xiaofeng and Zhan Brother, what happened to outsiders...
The gossip souls of the three ignited.
However, Wei Xiaofeng arrogantly ignored them, and Zhan Heng just smiled smugly, but he didn't show off to them. Their desire to gossip could not be satisfied. Desolate feeling.
"Xiaoyu is very handsome today, and it's P&H again." Zhan Heng beckoned them to come and sit, looked up and down Luo Peng, and said, "Cousin, you are wearing a very imposing suit."
Luo Pente said happily: "Yes, yes, or Zhan brother, you have a good vision."
"Especially like the boss of Jianghu."
"… "
"Hahaha..." Everyone in the room laughed.
Luo Peng looked depressed.
Yu Siyang patted his arm to comfort him.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhan Heng stood up from the sofa and gestured gracefully to Yu Siyang. Yu Siyang hurriedly turned his body halfway to avoid it.
"take it easy."
Zhan Heng patted Yu Siyang's back and walked out of the room side by side with Yu Siyang. Going down the other passage, it is the VIP passage. There is an extended Mercedes Benz parked in front of the door. The two got into the car one after another. The car drove onto the main road, made a big circle, and returned to the main entrance of the hotel.
The driver hurriedly got out of the car to help open the rear door. Zhan Heng came out first. The moment he stepped on the red carpet, the flashing lights stretched into a film. The media and fans who were stopped outside shouted Zhan Heng's name.
Zhan Heng didn't walk onto the red carpet immediately, but turned around in front of the car, bowed slightly, stretched out his left hand, and looked very gentlemanly.
The sound of the shutter at the scene became more frequent, and the media were all excited to guess that Zhanheng might have brought a female companion tonight.
You must know that Zhan Heng walks the red carpet either with the crew or alone, and has never had a female companion. Is this going to break the convention? Which woman can make Zhan Heng break the routine
Yu Siyang looked at the hand that was about to poke his face, and put his hand on it helplessly.
He is not a girl, why should he be led out like this? !
The moment he stepped on the red carpet, Yu Siyang adjusted the smile on his face impeccably. After standing still, he took his hand away from Zhanheng's hand and made a "please" gesture towards Zhanheng.
Fans standing at a high place on the outside saw him and were silent for a while. Some fans suddenly became bloody and screamed: "Official candy la la la la la la la-"
Yu Siyang waved to the media and followed Zhan Heng to the venue at a slower pace, complaining silently in his heart: Young people these days are really big-brained. When the movie is released, I see my character beating up Brother Zhan in various ways. Will there be chaos in the group CP
After signing his name on the background board and letting the on-site media take a photo, the staff guided Zhan Heng and Yu Siyang to enter the venue. The charity gala is not an awards ceremony, and there is no interview.
As soon as he entered the venue, Yu Siyang was led away by Xue Chengxiu.
When he was about to turn around, Xue Chengxiu glanced at Zhan Heng lightly, and saw Zhan Heng's hair stand on end. He quickly found Wei Xiaofeng who was talking to someone, and asked coquettishly, "Xiaofeng, I didn't offend the boss, why did the boss use it? Looking at me with that terrifying look?"
"Which look?"
"I just want to chop off my hand."
Wei Xiaofeng's eyes swept across the big screen on the stage, where the live red carpet in front of the hotel was being broadcast live, and then swept over Zhan Heng's left hand, snorted inwardly: I want to chop your hand too.
Zhan Heng said, "Yes, that's the look."
Wei Xiaofeng: "..."
It's true that the older you get, the more stupid you are. Well, I don't think you are stupid.
