Chapter 412: Music Festival

The pattern of this world is basically the same as Shen Ning's original world, and the more intuitive difference is that Zhongzhou here is more tolerant and powerful than his hometown. Nowadays, there are only three countries that can be called superpowers, one of which is Zhongzhou, which is among the best in terms of population, military, manufacturing, resources and other aspects of hard power, and the overall economic level and spiritual civilization are among the best, so it can be said that Zhongzhou is a superpower with a balance in many aspects.

One is the Commonwealth of Independent States to the north, which is nothing else but a military power, and the other is the United States of America, which is similar to Zhongzhou, and some of the superpowers are the most balanced in many aspects. Because of their aversion to war, most of the countries and peoples of this world have little affection for the Commonwealth of Independent States, the country that is the king of the war, so that this superpower is easily ignored, but in the Middle State in the East and the United States of America in the West, because of the balance in all aspects, the same type of high and low attributes are often put on the table.

When he first set foot in this Western superpower, Shen Ning deliberately spent a day to experience it, and finally he came to a conclusion that Zhongzhou and the United States are generally very close, but in some aspects, the latter is more powerful, such as music movies that are closely related to him, and the United States is obviously more mature and advanced. The World Entertainment Center is not in vain, but this time Shen Ning came all the way to the United States not to feel the charm of entertainment culture here, he came for another leading field in the United States, there is Internet technology, to be precise, he intends to look for a group of Internet talents in the United States, bring them back to Zhongzhou and start to arrange his Internet industry, this world is too similar to his hometown, as a person who has come over, Shen Ning deeply knows how important the Internet plays in the future life, think about the top companies in his hometown, almost all of them are Internet companies!

The most important thing is that the Internet can make the world smaller, and this is related to the "historical mission" he shoulders! The opportunity to start a business on the Internet is fleeting, and Shen Ning, a lazy man, has to run around for this. The United States is a strange country to him, and if he wants to find the talent he wants quickly, he can only rely on the local snake here, so after a day of playing, he decisively dialed a phone call. "Hi Taylor, I'm already in America, where is it? Under the beautiful Statue of Liberty, oh so coincidentally, you're performing here, oh yes, I'll be there tonight to enjoy your music......"

What made Shen Ning feel relieved was that his only friend in the United States was in this city, although he couldn't meet because he was rehearsing, Shen Ning was very interested in her performance, and agreed to the invitation to attend tonight's music festival. This friend of his is called Taylor Swift, a female singer who is good at country rock, and her debut time was only a year and a half earlier than Shen Ning, but the limelight is as good as Shen Ning, and she is known as a little diva.

Even if he is in Zhongzhou Shenning, he can still occasionally hear the news of this talented creative woman, let's just say that in the E family, Taylor Swift Tribe ranks in the top ten active singers in the category, and he has been running around New York as much as he can't attract anyone's attention in the past day, but if Taylor appears on the streets of Zhongzhou, I am afraid that it will soon cause a sensation. This is where the gap between the two lies, Shen Ning is still in Zhongzhou, and Taylor has gathered popularity around the world, but obviously Shen Ning did not take this gap seriously, and Taylor is still very familiar with us on the phone, and the relationship between the two when they met at the Hong Kong Island Rock Festival is no different.

New York's music festival tonight is also quite popular, called the Holy Fire Music Festival, is one of the largest music festivals in New York, an international metropolis, a little inquiring about Shen Ning can't help but smack his tongue, there will not only be all continents of the United States rushing, but also attracted more than a dozen countries of music enthusiasts and singers to participate. In short, it is very grand, because there are many big-name singers who will also come to the performance, and the tickets for the music festival are also precious, and Shen Ning waved the dollar bill for a long time before buying an admission ticket from a scalper. As night falls, Times Square in the heart of New York City is already lit up with dazzling lights, surging crowds and passionate music rhythms, and tourists in colorful and bizarre costumes shouting to the music, and the atmosphere of the festival is already high before the official performance begins.

Shen Ning is still the first time to participate in a foreign music festival, compared with the domestic music festival, the difference between the two is still huge, the domestic music festival is more like a party nature, the audience honestly sits on the stage and walks according to the process, and the end is over. The New York Flame Festival is completely different, it is chaotic, but it creates an atmosphere that will give you an adrenaline rush, figuratively speaking, this is like a big super bar with no edge in sight! There are world's top DJs on the stage, so that tens of thousands of people's emotions can be vented, Shen Ning is in it, and he can't help but dance to the rhythm of the music, he is completely immersed in the atmosphere here.

Shen Ning danced his body according to his instinct, and approached a blonde beauty who was very in line with his aesthetics, the beauty didn't seem to mind his approach, but turned around and danced face to face with Shen Ning to the music, and the two stepped on the footsteps and twisted their bodies to interact with each other. It wasn't until the DJ went into a break that the two stopped. "Hey, buddy, your dancing is very good, are you a dancer?" Shen Ning was about to get a drink from the quilt, but the blonde beauty hooked his shoulder.

Shen Ning's body stiffened slightly, but it quickly eased up, and he couldn't help but sigh that he was worthy of being a foreign girl, that is, he was enthusiastic! He turned his head to look at the beautiful woman leaning on him, the lights were too dazzling just now, and Shen Ning had never been defensive for the beauty, and he didn't speak, and he made a broken step action, and then nodded with a smile. "Oh, that's great, I think we can be partners!" The little beauty shook her fist excitedly, don't look at Shen Ning's movements just now were very simple and casual, but she saw at a glance that this boy with an Asian face was a skilled dancer, she pulled Shen Ning to the front of the stage, and shouted excitedly: "Go, let's sign up!"

"Sign up, what sign up?" Shen Ning couldn't help but follow, his face confused. When the two of them walked to the workbench in front of the stage, Shen Ning figured out what was going on, it turned out that the Flame Music Festival in recent years had a reserved program, that is, fighting dance! The audience at the scene has the right to register, as long as the number of people is greater than or equal to 2 people, the registration fee for each combination is 500 US dollars, and the final winner will receive all the registration fees. Now there are more than 50,000 people in the square, and Shen Ning pondered that there must be thirty or fifty teams to participate, so the prize for the final winner is also quite considerable. Since he no longer participated in the filming of the "Dance Out of My Life" series, his skills as a top dancer have temporarily lost their usefulness, but now they have a place to use, and he simply filled in his name.

Putting down the pen, he saw that it was the little beauty on the side biting her lip, but she didn't have the sharp momentum before, and he couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, scared?"

Shen Ning is stupid, right? This is almost everyone's first thought, in fact, everyone knows that with his current net worth of hundreds of millions, this 1 million is really nothing, and it is undoubtedly a wild talk to say that he has made huge profits from this. Even if the media published this matter in the newspaper, it was just a conversation after dinner, and it was almost impossible to have a great impact on Shen Ning. But now Shen Ning actually took the initiative to ask everyone to publicize his behavior, and the situation has become completely different, after all, his behavior is not worth advocating, as a public figure, he has the responsibility and obligation to guide fans to be positive. He's hit a minefield now!

Taking the initiative to step on the minefield, Shen Ning is not angry and stupid, what is it? Once this incident is exposed, I am afraid that it will bring him a lot of negative impact, but this obviously has nothing to do with the media, they will only be excited to record it because this is a big news, and obviously the reporter of the "Bimonthly" is even more excited, he never imagined that Shen Ning would take the initiative to enter the trap, and at this time it is not a good opportunity to beat the water dogs! He simply came out of the crowd and shouted with righteousness and awe: " Shen Ning, if you ignore our traditional virtues in Zhongzhou, I will definitely report it truthfully, so that more people can see your ugly face!"

"Then don't I want to thank you?" Shen Ning looked at him with a smile, but he didn't see any panic, which made many people feel that Shen Ning didn't seem to be so stupid, in the whole environment, reporters and celebrities generally tend to be in a more comfortable position, but it doesn't mean that they can say whatever they want, once they make a mistake, their career path will come to an end. For example, the editor-in-chief who bet with Shen Ning before has disappeared from the industry. The reporter of the bimonthly magazine is also very shrewd, but now he is obviously blinded by money, and when he heard this, he sneered and responded: "That's not it, I will definitely leave you a headline spot, I want everyone to know that you are a bad and negative artist!"

"How do you know that I have a bad record?" "Hmph, if you don't know what to do, it's not the first time you've used the opportunity to make money, before the last time "Dance Out of My Life" was released, you used gambling to make hundreds of millions of dollars!" "And you once said that 18 million gambling bets will be used for charity, where is your charity? Today I will expose you as a hypocrite!" ...... Seeing that this reporter was still bending his neck to do justice, Shen Ning also understood that this guy must have collected a lot of money, he nodded knowingly, turned to the person behind him and said: "I am more unprofessional in this matter, please tell this reporter about these things, he said that he would report truthfully to the genuine headlines, don't be stingy with words." ”

The people behind Shen Ning had already glared angrily at the reporter of "Bimonthly", and when they saw Shen Ning taking the initiative to let them speak, they immediately couldn't suppress the anger in their hearts, and a person stood up and glared at the reporter on the spot. "Where did you just say Mr. Shen's charity, I think I can answer you, his charity and love are here!" This is a young woman in her early 30s, looking delicate, but her courage is full, pointing to the ground under her feet, she said loudly: "Can reporters smear others at will, or a real good person, you are not afraid of being punished by God!"

The small body, the energy that burst out was sideways, and the reporter who bore the brunt of it subconsciously took a step back, and when he reacted, he couldn't help but shout angrily: "What are you talking nonsense, be careful that I sue you for slander!" "I will definitely sue you for slander!" The young woman was not afraid, she took out a piece of paper from the briefcase she carried, and met the eyes of the surrounding attention, she first said: " First of all, let me introduce myself, I am Cheng Ling, the director of the Ningxia office of the Zhongzhou branch of Lion International Trust, and I have in my hand a cash trust service entrusted by Mr. Shen Ning and Tiancheng Entertainment Company with him as the legal representative. ”

"On February 16, 2000, our company received a bank transfer of 43.82 million yuan from Tiancheng Entertainment Company, and on February 18 of the same year, we received a personal bank transfer of 97.65 million yuan from Mr. Shen Ning, and then transferred 20 million yuan on March 5, and received a cash check of 1 million yuan on May 9...... On March 1, in the name of Tiancheng Entertainment Company, 15 million yuan was transferred to the Ningxia Healthy Lunch Fund to provide free lunch for mountain village primary schools in Fanning area. ”

On March 3, in the name of Shen Ning, he transferred 10 million yuan to the Sunshine Fund of Weizhong City, Ningxia, for the construction of Hope Primary Schools in about 20 poor townships in Weizhong City. "On March 15, in the name of Shen Ning, he transferred 4 million yuan to the Orbis Organization in Weizhong City, Ningxia, to help the blind and patients with eye diseases to restore their sight. On March 15, Shen Ning transferred 8 million yuan to the Weizhong Poverty Alleviation Office in his personal name, and planned to build 25 elderly activity centers for poor townships. ”

"On March 30, in the name of Shen Ning, the first phase of 30 million yuan was transferred to the Oasis Organization to purchase seedlings to improve desertification in Ningxia. ”............ One institution after another, a pen account came out of Cheng Ling's mouth, and the voice was not high, but under the relief of this emptiness, it was always around, and the scene of thousands of people did not make even a little loud sound into the charity and could not extricate themselves, this phenomenon was laughed at for a while, but Shen Ning and the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story", as the initiators, did not listen to the things outside the window, and only made movies, away from these rights and wrongs. With the support of Ningxia ZF and the control of Shen Ning, a "person who came over", the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is progressing rapidly, and the scene of "Entering Lanruo Temple" has been completed in 10 days. In several classic scenes such as Xiaoqian playing in the water, Shen Ning worked tirelessly to provide personal guidance, and strived to present the original "A Chinese Ghost Story" to the audience, of course, Shen Ning could not stay in the crew for two months, and when Du Feng had completely entered his state of thought, Shen Ning left the crew in a low-key manner. He first came to Hong Kong Island and handed over the second half of the manuscript of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to Ye Qiuyan.

After recovering the crisis of being cut, he visited Li Youcheng non-stop, and the two stayed in the top club for a night before they came out shoulder to shoulder, and were photographed by the paparazzi on Hong Kong Island, which attracted a lot of discussion after being published in the newspaper, which basically is: Shen Ning and Li Youcheng, the relationship between these two people who are not in the wind is so iron? Li Youcheng is not a person with the qualifications to come forward with Cheng Ling to smash a dry goods to the media, the situation suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse, and a certain reporter who still occupied the moral high ground was bloodless, and finally left gloomily.

People are simply gone, but what awaits him will be a flood of moral public opinion, especially a group of media people know that this peer will soon disappear in their circle, which makes people feel a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox, but there is nothing to say, since you dare to use the double-edged sword of public opinion wantonly, you must be prepared to be hurt by it. However, this incident has also sounded the alarm for many people, that is, we must be cautious in the news related to Shen Ning, at least we can't easily stand on the opposite side of this guy, several colleagues have already "died" because of him! The time recorded has naturally become a topic of public welfare and charity, and people with a heart have calculated that Shen Ning's personal and company have invested in the Ningxia region, and even exceeded the amount of his gambling income, and no one dares to say a word of doubt in front of this 9-figure charity fund. Charity and public welfare in any country in the world are the cause supported by the whole people, I don't know if it is the power of learning from Shen Ning's example, or if this scene is out of control, whether it is the media or the audience attending the scene, they are discussing this topic enthusiastically, and many people also want to contribute.

This is something that Shen Ning didn't expect, looking at the scene of many spontaneous expressions of wanting to donate, he was still very moved in his heart, he had experienced that indifferent modern society, and knew how precious the hot pillow in the bones of today's Zhongzhou people was. When the microphone moved in front of him, he opened his mouth and said: "Many people need help, many places need help, charity needs countless people to follow, I Shen Ning debuted for a short time, thanks to everyone's love is also an achievement, I can not do much, but as long as I live for a day, I will stick to it forever, because to be a man must know how to be grateful." "Well, in order to repay the society, I am here to call on everyone to actively support my country's public welfare and charity, and announce that 10% of the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" will be used for public welfare and charity, and the supervision of fans will be welcomed, because there is a share of your kindness!"

Shen Ning obviously has already obtained the consent of the relevant personnel, and several actors who have been paid to take shares have spoken, and called on the majority of fans to participate in charity and public welfare undertakings. The scene was stunned by this combination punch for a while, and then erupted in long-lasting applause. ...... "Leslie Cheung appeared at the launch conference of A Chinese Ghost Story, Shen Ning did charity with 100 million yuan!", "10% of the box office of A Chinese Ghost Story will be used for charity, and netizens like and support!", "A Chinese Ghost Story opens a new salary shareholding system, this may be a new spring in film production!"

"Shen Ning Talks About A Chinese Girl: The imagination of Zhongzhou ghost movies is insufficient, and A Chinese Girl will break through. 》...... As expected by the public, on the second day of the opening ceremony of A Chinese Ghost Story, the online discussion finally became the hot topic of discussion of the day with the power of print media, and almost everyone who followed the movie could find their own emotional things in it. Professional filmmakers are amazed by the salary shareholding system, and filming according to such a system can save nearly half of the money, not to mention, it can also make actors work harder to make good movies, which is completely worth promoting!

However, everyone also understands that this amazing method is not a substitute for today's traditional remuneration system, and the remuneration shareholding system is more suitable for big movies and big-name films. But even so, they also applauded the groundbreaking nature of "A Chinese Girl", the film industry was not large, and soon this groundbreaking remuneration shareholding system spread to foreign countries under word of mouth, attracting many professionals and media discussions, and almost universally applauded and supported. When this news came back to China, it naturally made many Chinese people proud: this is an advanced way pioneered by Zhongzhou people!

The Ministry of Culture seemed to be very interested in Shen Ning's philanthropic behavior, and soon the film publicity department issued a statement in the two official newspapers praising the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and the investors behind it, praising them for their sense of social responsibility, which fully reflects the gratitude of Zhongzhou films and filmmakers to the society...... Finally, a veiled call on others to learn this behavior. Obviously, this is a guiding article, which may not bring anything substantial to Shen Ning and the crew, but it has invisibly become their protective umbrella, at least until it is released, and it will not encounter any obstacles. In general, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has received unprecedented attention, and as a movie that has just started, its pre-publicity can be said to have achieved the extreme.

The success of "A Chinese Ghost Story" naturally has also received the attention of some people, and a few days later, the crew of "Fierce Tomb" also held a start-up press conference, at which the director announced that he would also use 10% of the box office for public welfare and charity...... "We must learn to be grateful......" Look at these words, without changing a few words, it is obviously a copy of "A Chinese Ghost Story", but after all, this is a real need to take out money to do public welfare, and it still has received many positive reports and the support of the masses. It's a success! This is okay, many film crews who are planning to shoot can't sit still, so for a period of time, almost as long as there is a movie launch conference, there will be a blonde beauty who is almost in line with his aesthetics, and the beauty doesn't seem to mind his approach, but turns around and jumps face to face with the music and Shen Ning, and the two step on the foot and twist their bodies to interact but also have a tacit understanding.

It wasn't until the DJ went into a break that the two stopped. "Hey, buddy, your dancing is very good, are you a dancer?" Shen Ning was about to get a drink from the quilt, but the blonde beauty hooked his shoulder. Shen Ning's body stiffened slightly, but it quickly eased up, and he couldn't help but sigh that it was worthy of being a foreign girl, that is, enthusiasm! He turned his head to look at the beauty leaning on him, the lights were too dazzling just now, he could only vaguely see that this was a good-looking beauty, and now that the scene was normal, he found that this beauty was even more beautiful than he imagined.

It looks like he is only in his early 20s, about 170 tall, and his figure is not to say, Shen Ning's feeling just now is very amazing, with smooth blonde hair shoulder-length, blue eyes and beautiful eyebrows, and fine facial features, but it is quite different from traditional Western girls. I don't know if such an appearance is considered a big beauty in the eyes of Westerners, but as an Oriental, this end is a big beauty full of exotic style, but it is completely in line with the oriental aesthetics!
