The 'Save Lives' concert is over, but the sensation caused by this concert has not disappeared, and the concert is being reported by all over the world.

Even Huaxia, far away in the East, reported on the concert.

"People's X" also published an article on this concert, but in another time and space, this concert only introduced a few hundred words because there was no participation of Chinese people.

But now it's different, because this concert has Wu Jianye's participation.

After "People's X Daily" received the news, they couldn't believe it, Wu Jianye and they were naturally familiar with it, and when Wu Jianye won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival before, they had already reported Wu Jianye's news.

But this time it's different!

Wu Jianye's impression in China has always been that he is a film director and a film actor, but now he suddenly became a singer, and he also participated in such a major concert, which made "People's X News" unbelievable at this time.

But the front actually sent back the photos of Wu Jianye's singing that day, so they couldn't believe it.

Now at this time, it is the time for China to seek development and seek recognition from the outside world, and Wu Jianye suddenly has such an achievement, so they naturally want to increase their reporting.

"Chinese director Wu Jianye appeared at the world's greatest concert!"

...... At noon on the 13th, the concert first opened at Wimbly Stadium in London, and more than 72,000 listeners attended the concert. Two hours later, a concert at John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, attended by 90,000 people, was also announced......

Among the singers who participated in the singing, there was the figure of my country's director Wu Jianye, whose appearance made the world see the Chinese .......

Subsequently, "People's X" introduced the glory of Wu Jianye's album "Born Out of the Sky" in Europe and the United States, and for a time Wu Jianye's name was flooded in domestic newspapers and media.

Wu Jianye, who has been silent in China for more than half a year, once again appeared in the field of vision of domestic audiences, and at this moment all Chinese people know that Wu Jianye is not only a director, but also an excellent singer.

Wu Jianye's prestige has once again climbed the previous peak in China and reached another high point.

Now there are many people in China who are looking for Wu Jianye's album, but unfortunately there are no ones for sale in China, only some friends who have a relationship with them, and they bought Wu Jianye's 'Sideways' album overseas.

For example, the lead singer of the first rock band plywood band established in China last year, Cui Jian, who was later known as the godfather of Chinese rock.

But soon, Yanjing, Huhai and other big cities had pirated tapes of this album, and the provenance is not verifiable, but many dealers said that they got the goods in Pengcheng.......

However, at this time, Wu Jianye was still far away in the United States and did not know what was happening in China.

As for the follow-up to the 'Save Lives' concert, it is not over, the donation campaign continues, and the numbers on the special account continue to climb day by day.

A newlywed couple in London decided to sell their house and donate the money to Africa.

Many elderly Irish women came to the post office and asked for the donation of their only possessions, their wedding rings. Because I had worn it on my hand for so many years, I couldn't take those rings off anymore. They had to buy a bar of soap and soak their hands in the soapy water for a while.

At the London show, the Irish took the lion's share of the day's donations. And it's not just because Gildorf and U2 are both from Ireland.

In the mid-19th century, there was a famine in Ireland, and a quarter of the population either starved to death or fled to the United States. Today, Ireland's population is only one-twentieth that of the United Kingdom.

Piggyback: At the time of the famine, Ireland was under British rule.

Even when Gildorf walked out on the street, someone would keep stuffing him with money, from a few pennies to a few hundred pounds. He told them to put the money in the post office account, but they said, "Bob, we're most relieved to leave it to you."

This is the brilliance of humanity!

But human nature has never been just about brilliance, human nature is complex, and you can't define it by good and evil.

Someone donated all his belongings of £3,000 in one go, but he reversed himself half a month later and wrote to Gildorf:

Can you give me some back? I was impulsive, and I couldn't afford to donate that much.

Then-President Ronald Reagan signed a bill declaring July 13 as National Day of Remembrance and considering changes to the African aid program.

The Queen of England ****** bestows the title of Sir Guildfo Astoria. The parliaments of Norway, England and Ireland jointly nominated him as a candidate for the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize.

The national airline of Mauritius called, offering two first-class round-trip tickets and a five-star hotel for two weeks, all it took was to take a photo to advertise it: Gildorf was on holiday in Mauritius.

Gildorf was tempted. Because of all these years of rock and roll, he is really poor, and he has never stayed in such a good hotel, let alone traveled.

But he is also worried about the revenge of the media who he has just stabbed in the 'proof of salvation'.

It turned out that during Gildorf's trip to Ethiopia, he had a fight with reporters. This time, he announced his personal vendetta and offered the media a price to sit on the ground:

Journalists are twice as expensive as regular spectators, £50, and if they want to move around, they have to pay an additional £100 for a special pass.

If this big news breaks now.

The headline of the news, he can come up with it himself:

Gildorf is basking on the beach while tens of millions of people in Africa are starving behind him!

The United States of America was the largest fundraiser, raising 50 per cent of total contributions. So, in the end, 10% of the money went to help homeless Americans.

Look at the Americans who are also fighting for food with refugees in Ethiopia.......

In order to exempt from VAT on the sale of the 'Save a Life' fundraising album, Gildorf approached British Prime Minister Iron Lady.

The Iron Lady initially did not agree to the tax exemption, and domestic public opinion was in an uproar. The Iron Lady had to make concessions, cancel the VAT, and apologize to the people of the whole country via television.

After all, such a big Britain does not donate as much as Ireland. From this point of view, the Great Britain will also be finished sooner or later.

'Save Lives' ended up raising $127 million for African countries.

Paradoxically, such a large sum of money donated by the whole world did not save Ethiopia from famine.

Some stories are wonderful on the stage, and some stories are wonderful after the stage is over.

The wonderful follow-up to the 'Save Lives' concert has just begun.

From the moment the first food arrived in Ethiopia, the people of Gildorf found that there was no way to get it to the affected areas.

Railways are dilapidated, roads are blocked, and there are no cars. If you bring your own car across the sea, it will be confiscated immediately by the military junta, which has been beaten by the civil war.

In 1985, a large amount of food just rotted on the docks next to the Red Sea.

In desperation, Gildorf and his team decided to buy a fleet of second-hand trucks in Ethiopia's neighboring Sudan, repair them, and then cross overland into Ethiopia to forcibly transport food to the affected areas.

Before we could buy the 80 trucks and repair them to operation, it took five months in vain.

It was only when the convoy from northern Sudan, which had forcibly crossed the line of fire between the two sides to deliver food to the affected areas in the north, was discovered by Colonel Mengistu.

At that time, Mengistu was in the middle of the war. The Tigray People's Liberation Front, an opposition force in the northern province of Tigray, and forces in the northeastern Eritrean region are working together to flank him.

The food and money donated by 'Save Lives' just became his booster.

Mengestu agreed: the convoy could follow his army into an area and distribute food.

It was actually a plan he had to buy people into believing that the food came from him. As long as they are on his side, there will be food.

At this moment, the good wishes of the whole world became a bargaining chip in the civil war.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) had pleaded with Gildorf not to distribute relief money until there was a credible agency that could deliver the money to the victims, otherwise it would only exacerbate the civil war and deaths. But he went his own way, and famously said:

With our left hand, we will shake hands with the devil, and with our right hand, we will donate money to the victims.

Michael Birk, the BBC journalist who was the first to report the famine in Ethiopia to the world, said:

The Ethiopian Holodomor changed everything and nothing.

It fundamentally changes the rich world's perception of hunger and responsibility for the poor, but it solves nothing.

The civil war in Ethiopia ended only in 1991. Colonel Mengistu was overthrown.

If a friend looks at the name of Colonel Mengistu, he will find that his year of birth and death is "1937-2008". In fact, he actually lived a good life all along.......

Under Ethiopia's new constitution, Mengestu was sentenced to death in 2008. But this sentence in absentia is doomed to be unenforceable. Back in 1991, he fled to Zimbabwe and successfully obtained political asylum for Mugabe.

In 2000, Wembley Stadium was closed for demolition. In 2003, the last Concorde was retired due to high costs.

It's no longer possible to rush to the scene like Phil Collins and to do two shows halfway around the world in one day.

It's like the curtain call of a meteor-like ornate era.

As for how the money raised from the 'Save Lives' concert was spent, even decades later, Gildorf refused to be interviewed about whether the 'Save Lives' donations were used effectively.

But these are all things that are later, for Wu Jianye, his brilliance can be left at the 'Save Life' concert, as for the bullshit things in the back, it has nothing to do with him.

Now Wu Jianye has come to Los Angeles.

In a restaurant in Los Angeles, Wu Jianye met the elegant Zunlong.

"This film will be the largest investment in the history of China, and it will also open the Taihe Hall for the filming of this film, Zunlong, I hope you can return to China to participate in the filming of the movie "The Last Emperor"!"

The appointment to meet Zunlong was naturally for the filming of "The Last Emperor".

Now that the preliminary preparations in China have been almost prepared, Wu Jianye came to the United States this time, and naturally wanted to bring Zunlong back to China to participate in the filming of this movie.

Although Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor" has many slots, I have to admit that Pu Yi, played by Zun Long, is born with nobility, and he is also the best candidate for Pu Yi here in Wu Jianye.

Zun Long sat opposite Wu Jianye, wearing a simple T-shirt, jeans, and a beautiful face, but some people just enjoy food from God, his appearance, his temperament, all determine that he is more comfortable on the road of an actor.

Although he did not leave many classic works in the domestic and international film circles in later generations, it does not mean that his acting skills are not up to par, it is because he left more acting opportunities for the stage, which also laid the foundation for his acting skills.

At this time, Zunlong was a little excited, not because of Wu Jianye's movie invitation, but because of Wu Jianye's change in identity.

He remembered that when he first met Wu Jianye, he was a famous writer, and as a Chinese, he wrote science fiction that was popular in Europe and the United States.

Later, in Hollywood film magazines, I knew that the first film directed by Wu Jianye won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival.

Immediately afterwards, at the just-concluded 'Save Lives' concert, he discovered that Wu Jianye was still the kun who attracted the hearts of countless fans.

Even though he had been mentally prepared when he saw the name kun, he couldn't help but be surprised when the reality was really in front of him.

As for the script of the movie "The Last Emperor", although he hasn't read it, but with the same name, he has seen it, and now Wu Jianye actually found him in person and invited him to star in this movie, he just thought about it briefly, and immediately agreed to Wu Jianye's invitation.

"Thank you Director Wu for your trust, I will try my best not to disappoint you!"

After getting a positive reply from Zun Long, Wu Jianye looked very happy, and then asked about Chen Chong's news, when Wu Jianye held a signing party in Los Angeles, the two got together and muttered, thinking that the two should have been in contact all the time.

"I can call her over there, I believe she will be very happy when she knows the news!"

After the two separated, Zun Long immediately called Chen Chong, and after Chen Chong knew what happened, he promised to go to Los Angeles immediately to meet Wu Jianye.

The meeting with Chen Chong was also very smooth, the three of them just chatted a few words, and the two promised to follow Wu Jianye back to China to participate in the preliminary training of "The Last Emperor".

Although things seem very simple, in fact, this is also because Wu Jianye has achieved something, if this is Wu Jianye's first movie, it is unknown whether the two will agree so happily.......
