Time flies, and it enters November in the blink of an eye.

Jun Tianying's first comic fantasy masterpiece "Grim Reaper", after a stormy publicity offensive, was finally listed for sale simultaneously in major bookstores in Shikoku, and the sales were gratifying in a week.

No. 1, the first day sales statistics are 300,000 copies in China, 100,000 copies in South Korea, 150,000 copies in Japan, and 120,000 copies in the United States.

On the 2nd, the sales figure doubled, with 600,000 copies in China, 200,000 copies in South Korea, 300,000 copies in Japan, and 250,000 copies in the United States.

On the 7th, that is, a week later, 1 million copies in China, 500,000 copies in South Korea, 1.5 million copies in Japan, and 1 million copies in the United States. Japan is not a manga kingdom, and its sales have surpassed China to occupy the top spot.

Why not make money from the Japanese, Chen Lin, the top of this list, doesn't mind at all, and wants to sell more.

A total of 4 million copies were sold in a week, and the total sales of a copy at a price of $3.5 were 14 million US dollars, equivalent to 112 million yuan.

After deducting taxes, costs and a dollar of donation, the collection was 28 million, and the Children's Angel Foundation received a huge amount of 32 million yuan, which is equivalent to 4 million US dollars.

Is this still just a week's worth of sales, and if it's a month later? What about a year from now?

"Death" is on fire, and the fire is a mess.

The fire made the Chinese go crazy with joy, the fire of the Japanese weekly boy JUMP people were greatly annoyed, scolding "Baga", the fire Koreans said sourly in private, "Chen Lin Oba is Korea's Smecta", the fire eyes on the forehead of the old beauty lowered her noble head, gave a thumbs up and shouted "GOOD!" ”

Even Japan's "Asahi Shimbun", the United States' "New York Times", South Korea's "Chosun Ilbo", and China's "People's Daily", which rarely pay attention to entertainment news, have all published an article titled "The 'Grim Reaper' Storm Sweeps the World."

A storm of death has officially sounded around the world.

……

November 7, 10 a.m. local time, California Neverland.

Chen Lin and his wife and Liu Dehua met Michael Jackson, the king of pop in the world, in the manor.

As directors of the Children's Angels Foundation, the three of them jointly invited Director Michael Jackson to attend the "Sunshine Hope Project Donation Delivery Ceremony" to be held in Texas tomorrow.

Although it was the first time we met. However, they are both directors of the Children's Angel Foundation, and this relationship has invisibly shortened the distance between the two parties.

When they met, everyone gave each other gifts, Chen Lin and his wife gave Jackson a beautiful Tang costume of Ruifuxiang, Liu Dehua gave himself a selected record, and Michael gave back his own record.

Everyone talked happily, especially Andy (Andy Lau's English name) and Michael, the two kings, who sympathized with each other. Michael offered Andy an invitation to attend his concert next year, and Andy readily agreed.

After everyone got acquainted, Chen Lin sacrificed a special equipment that had not been used for a long time - the little black book.

"Idol, can you please sign my name?" Chen Lin smiled and handed over the little black notebook and asked Michael to sign it.

“OK！” Jackson smiled slightly and happily swiped a line on the little black notebook: "Dear Jason." It's a pleasure to have your friend, Michael. Jackson, 1998.11.7"

Wow quack~~ I saw that Michael wrote "friend" in the notebook.

This is really enough for Chen Lin's stinky fart, from the way out of the dream manor to the hotel, this guy has been laughing all the way crazy, and the last thing is that Yu Yu can't stand it and uses the family method of twisting his ears to make him normal

On the morning of the next day, Chen Lin, Yu Yu, Liu Dehua and Michael went to the Bush family's farm in the suburbs of Texas to attend the "Sunshine Hope Project's First Donation Delivery Ceremony of $5.875 million" held by the Children's Angel Foundation.

The $5.875 million is actually composed of two funds, one is Liu Dehua's endorsement fee of 15 million yuan, and the other is the commission of the "Grim Reaper" comic of 32 million yuan, which is converted into US dollars and is 5.875 million.

The event was held on the lawn of the farm, and the Foundation's staff set up a simple rostrum on the lawn. In front of it is a lectern, and behind the lectern is a row of chairs with red sofas.

This row of red chairs is naturally for the internal directors of the foundation and the invited heavyweights, and on the grass in front of the rostrum are 100 simple plastic stools, which are for other guests to sit on.

The specifications of this event are very high. The nine directors of the Foundation are all in line. Among the invited guests were Mr. and Mrs. Li Zhaoxing, Chinese Ambassador to the United States, pop diva Beyoncé, NBA star Spurs Tim Murphy. Duncan, and dozens of celebrities from all walks of life in Texas.

No journalists were invited to the event. It was a private party whose purpose was to promote charity and raise donations from the celebrities and wealthy present at the donation ceremony.

In fact, in addition to the purpose of fundraising. There is another purpose that perhaps only Chen Lin vaguely guessed -- the Republican Party, one of the two parties in the United States, has decided to elect Daddy Bush to run for the presidency of the United States in 2001.

There are still two years to go, and the Republican Party and the Bush family have already begun to lay out. In the process of the U.S. presidential election, the families of the candidates, especially the first lady, influence the votes of many voters.

If Father Bush wants to add weight to his presidential campaign, then Laura must establish a good image, which is an important reason why the Bush family attaches great importance to UNICEF.

At 10 a.m., the guests arrived on the lawn one after another to take their seats, and the nine directors of the foundation, Ambassador Li Zhaoxing and his wife sat on a row of red sofa chairs behind the rostrum, while the other guests naturally had to sit on ordinary plastic stools in front of them.

In this way, the directors of the Foundation, who sat in the red chairs, naturally became the center of attention. In particular, several of these Chinese faces made a group of foreigners particularly curious. They couldn't help but turn their heads and inquire about the origins of several Chinese directors.

At this time, Laura, the chairman of the foundation, appeared on the podium, everyone fell silent, and the delivery ceremony of the Sunshine Hope Project began.

"Distinguished Board of Directors, Distinguished Ambassador Li Zhaoxing and his wife, distinguished gentlemen and ladies, thank you for participating in the Children's Angel Foundation's 'Sunshine Hope Project First Donation Delivery Ceremony'." Laura thanked and welcomed all the invited guests.

The applause rang out, and Laura paused for the applause to stop. Smiling, he continued, "First of all, allow me to introduce to you the eight directors of the Foundation. ”

"George. Herbert. Walker. Director Bush, Chairman Emeritus of the Foundation, and my father, the 41st President of the United States, is "

"Director Chen Lin and his wife, Director Yu Yu, are one of the founders of the foundation, the initiators of the "Sunshine Hope Project" project, and the chairman and general manager of China Jade Emperor Entertainment Group Co., Ltd.

"George. Walker. Director Bush, one of the founders of the foundation, is my husband. Yes"

"Michael. Director of Jackson, European and American image ambassador of "Sunshine Hope Project", and the king of pop in the world"

Director Liu Dehua, the Asian image ambassador of "Sunshine Hope Project", a superstar who has swept Asia"

"Director Zha Liangyong"

Each of the directors who was introduced was warmly applauded by the guests, because in Laura's introduction, each director made his or her own contribution to charity, such as Michael Murphy. Director Jackson donated the ticket income of his first concert next year, and Director Zha Liangyong also donated the copyright income of all his works in the next three years.

Of course, in addition to donating, several directors also used their prestige and influence to call on more people to join the charity team, which is their greatest contribution.

After introducing the identities and contributions of the eight directors, the delivery ceremony of $5.875 million officially began.

First of all, the accountant of Arthur Andersen appeared on the rostrum with two documents. "Director Chen Lin and Director Liu Dehua are invited to come to the stage to sign."

As soon as Laura's words fell, Chen Lin and Liu Dehua straightened their ties and got up and walked to the rostrum.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Thunderous applause rang out. The two bowed slightly to the six seated directors. Then he saluted Laura and the hundred guests.

The two directors were not only extraordinary, but also courteous, and once again won a round of applause from the guests. And some of the female guests' eyes began to light up.

Chen Lin and Liu Dehua looked at each other and smiled. Then he signed his name on the document submitted by the accountant, and once he signed this name, it represented a sum of 32 million yuan for the two of them. A donation of 15 million yuan was officially transferred to the exclusive account of the foundation.

"Two directors, please move over here and uncover the red cloth." At this time, a staff member of the foundation came up and respectfully invited Chen Lin and Liu Dehua to move.

Originally, this rectangular bronze plaque with a length of 1.2 meters and a width of 0.8 meters covered with a red cloth was erected next to the rostrum.

The bronze plaque is engraved with the amount of the first donation, as well as the source of the donation, the names of donors Chen Lin and Liu Dehua.

The bronze medal will be kept in the Foundation's Honor Room as a souvenir.

The two directors moved to the bronze medal, and a staff member set up a camera to film the two uncovering the red cloth.

However, at this time, Chen Lin and Liu Dehua whispered in their ears, and then saw the two of them turn around and walk to the front of the rostrum, inviting the other 8 directors and all the foundation staff present to uncover the red cloth together, this honor belongs to everyone.

With the kindness of the two directors, all the people of the Foundation gathered behind the bronze medal.

"Chairman Bush, Chairman Laura, Michael, let's unveil the red cloth together." Chen Lin smiled and invited 9 directors to witness the moment of honor.

So Bush Sr., Bush Jr., Laura, Jackson, Liu Dehua, Zha Liangyong, Liu Changle, Chen Lin, and Yu Yu gathered on both sides of the bronze medal, each stretching out one and grabbing the red cloth.

"Pay attention to the password, shout three and pull it down. One, two, three—yes! ”

After the bronze medal was unveiled, everyone cheered, and warm applause also rang out (to be continued......
