Chapter 474: Tens of billions of dream funds
Seeing that Xiaofang and Hu Daqiang finally came together, Tang Xiaosheng was quite relieved, and the story of a lover finally becoming a family always makes people feel warm.
And what touched Tang Xiaosheng the most was Xiaofang's changes in the past two years.
Two years ago, Xiaofang was just a young lady, in the middle of the night, wandering the gray streets to solicit customers, and every day she could only sell her body for a meager income, and then live a gray life like the walking dead. At that time, she was just living, with no dignity, no happiness, no ideals, no future, and no hope.
However, when she received 30,000 yuan from Tang Xiaosheng, her life changed dramatically. Today, she is already the proprietress of a clothing store, and she has been able to support herself, and her life has sunshine, self-esteem, hope, and love.
In fact, what really changed Xiaofang was not the 30,000 yuan itself, but the courage and hope that the 30,000 yuan brought her. No matter how depressed and destitute a person is, as long as he still has a dream in his heart and dares to fight for it, his future is always worth looking forward to. It is precisely because Xiaofang has rekindled her hope for the future after having 30,000 yuan that she has a happy life today.
$30,000 may not be worth much for some, but for those living on the fringes of society or in desperate situations, it can change their fate.
After realizing these problems, Tang Xiaosheng was quite touched in his heart, and suddenly had an idea.
Recently, he has been thinking about how to deal with the box office revenue of "The Film and Television Dramas We Watched Together in Those Years". The film's box office revenue is currently close to 30 billion. According to Tang Xiaosheng's arrangement, all the income will be used for charity.
As for the philanthropic project, it has never been decided. And tonight, after learning about Xiaofang, Tang Xiaosheng had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly had an idea in his heart. He plans to use the box office proceeds for a charity project about "dreams", which he named "Dream Fund".
The idea of the "Dream Fund" is simple, to provide financial help to all those who have dreams for free. Anyone who has a dream in their heart can submit an application to the Dream Fund by mail, letter, etc. In the application form, in addition to your personal information, you should also introduce your dreams, your plans for your dreams, and the difficulties encountered in pursuing your dreams.
All applications submitted. As long as you pass the review of the Dream Fund. Applicants will receive a cash grant ranging from 1,000 yuan to 1,000,000 yuan from the foundation. There will be no less than 10,000 subsidy, and there is no upper limit on the number of awardees. The list and amount of all donations will be made public.
Actually, a dream application submitted to the Dream Fund. It's a bit like a plan for an investment project submitted to an investment company. The difference between the two is. The investment company will fully consider the risks of the investment project. And it requires a return, while the dream fund only provides free financial help to the applicant, and does not require the applicant to realize the dream. There is also no requirement for anything in return.
Because the Dream Fund is not an investment company, but a pure charity, a charity that provides financial help to all those who have dreams but have no heart.
Although this idea of the dream fund was proposed by Tang Xiaosheng, he may not be able to be responsible for the operation of the fund, because after the New Year, he will go into hiding with Xiaolongnu, Zhao Min, Gan Shijiumei and others. Therefore, the Dream Fund will eventually be handled by Dream House Films.
So, the next morning, Tang Xiaosheng found the current president of Dream House Film and Television Company, that is, the new leader of the company who was personally promoted by Tang Xiaosheng more than two months ago - Wang Lingfeng.
Wang Lingfeng, one year old today Chinese New Year's Eve, three years ago, under the introduction of director Zhang Zhizong, Wang Lingfeng and Tang Xiaosheng met and became friends. After Tang Xiaosheng founded Dream House Film and Television Company, Wang Lingfeng, who holds a double doctorate degree in economics and philosophy from Harvard University, became a member of Dream House Film and Television Company and served as the marketing director.
Wang Lingfeng's work performance is very outstanding, and the unprecedented box office results of the three films of Dream House Film and Television Company are inseparable from his excellent marketing plan. Wang Lingfeng's ability was also highly recognized by Tang Xiaosheng and Zhao Min, the former vice president of the company.
So, when Tang Xiaosheng decided to go into hiding, Wang Lingfeng was finally promoted by Tang Xiaosheng to be the new president of the company, and took office after Tang Xiaosheng left.
The next day, Tang Xiaosheng made an appointment with Wang Lingfeng and discussed the dream fund together. Wang Lingfeng agrees with the plan of the dream fund, because the concept of this plan is very close to the values of Dream House Film and Television, and it is very appropriate for Dream House Film and Television to be responsible for the operation of the dream fund.
The total amount of the dream fund is estimated to exceed 30 billion, and with such a huge amount of money, any group or individual may have to hold a meeting to study and discuss it repeatedly and consider it carefully.
However, Tang Xiaosheng and Wang Lingfeng hit it off, and after spending two hours exchanging views with each other, they held a press conference at noon on the same day to make the plan of the dream fund public to the public.
At the press conference, Tang Xiaosheng briefly introduced the concept and nature of the dream fund, while Wang Lingfeng, as the president of Dream House Film and Television, made a promise that 5% of the box office income of all future films in Dream House Film and Television will be used as a dream fund, hoping that this dream fund can benefit more people with dreams.
Tang Xiaosheng's Dream Charity Fund, whether it is the way of donation or the amount of donation, is unprecedented in China and even in the world. After listening to the introduction of this plan, the reporters attending the press conference raised their own questions.
"Mr. Tang, can anyone apply for the Dream Fund?"
"Yes. All those with dreams can apply. ”
"If everyone can apply, there will inevitably be thousands of applicants, and with such a large number of applicants, how can the foundation review them?"
"You're right, anyone can apply, so there will be a lot of applicants, and that's a tricky question. However, we are not afraid of many applicants, because more and more people are finding their dreams. Having your own dreams and fighting for them is the dream of the Dream Fund and the meaning of its existence. There are always difficulties on the way to realize dreams, and the dream fund plan was just thought of last night, and it has just started, and there are still many problems that need to be solved slowly. As for the question of how to review the large number of applicants, I think Mr. Wang Lingfeng will give you a satisfactory answer in the future. ”
Hearing this, the reporters present were stunned, they did not expect this dream fund charity plan with an amount of tens of billions. It turned out to be Tang Xiaosheng's improvised idea last night. Such a huge plan. But to start so hastily and haphazardly, it is really the act of a madman.
Of course, if you take into account Tang Xiaosheng's previous incredible behaviors, reporters also feel that Tang Xiaosheng's crazy plan is basically understandable.
At the press conference. President Wang Lingfeng also said: "The dream fund belongs to everyone who has a dream. All those with dreams are welcome to submit applications. Review these applications. It's a lot of work. My initial idea was to build a Dream Fund website and make it a platform for all dream applicants to communicate. Everyone can post their dreams on the site. It's like posting a photo of yourself in a forum or post bar. The website categorizes dreams, which makes it easy for everyone to find like-minded people and exchange ideas with each other. The website will provide the function of voting or rating each dream, and those with high support or praise will be given priority to be funded by the Dream Fund. Of course, the above is just a little immature idea after discussing with Mr. Tang Xiaosheng this morning, and more detailed plans and details will be announced later. ”
The idea of the Dream Fund was interesting and relevant to everyone, and the journalists were very interested. A reporter said on the spot that his dream is to own a Canon EOS series camera, and whether he can submit an application to the Dream Fund. The reporter's inquiry was also answered positively by President Wang Lingfeng.
A female reporter from "Fashion Weekly" asked Tang Xiaosheng curiously: "Mr. Tang, can you tell me what your dream is?" ”
Hearing this question, Tang Xiaosheng smiled slightly.
For the past few years, his dream has always been to become a good actor. Today, his dream has not changed, and he is still to become a good actor. It's just that the stage on which he performed used to be a shooting scene, but now the performance stage is life.
His greatest wish now is to play a good role in his life, to be a qualified son, husband, father, and to bring happiness to his family and loved ones for a lifetime.
Of course, it is enough to hide such a dream in the heart, and it does not need to be shared with outsiders.
After thinking for a while, Tang Xiaosheng casually joked: "My current dream is probably to crack down on piracy, I hope everyone will support more genuine movies, support more genuine movies, and watch more movies in the cinema." ”
Listening to him, many reporters couldn't help but smile, and now the movie "The Film and Television Dramas We Watched Together in Those Years" starring Tang Xiaosheng is being screened, and his words are undoubtedly helping the movie to promote.
Although Tang Xiaosheng was just a joke, Wang Lingfeng, who was sitting next to him, took it seriously, coughed, Wang Lingfeng said: "Xiao Tang's dream is very good, fighting piracy and respecting the fruits of other people's labor is in itself respecting other people's dreams." I would like to make a statement now that the Dream Fund will allocate 1% of the fund to fund Don's dream of fighting piracy and promote the idea of supporting genuine copies nationwide. ”
Wang Lingfeng is the president of Dream House Film and Television Company, and at the same time, he will also be the general person in charge of the Dream Fund. And Tang Xiaosheng's casual dream became the first fund donated by the Dream Fund, and the donated project was: combating piracy.
After Tang Xiaosheng finished talking about his dream, the reporters at the scene also talked about his dream. Many reporters said that their biggest dream at the moment is to interview Tang Xiaosheng and ask him about his living arrangements after retirement. Now many people know that Tang Xiaosheng is about to quit the film and television industry, but no one knows what he will do after he retires.
Since the release of "The Film and Television Dramas We Watched Together in Those Years", Tang Xiaosheng has hardly shown up in the past two months, and the reporters finally seized an opportunity today, so they naturally won't let it go easily.
It's a pity that no matter how the reporters asked, Tang Xiaosheng laughed it off and did not explain his future arrangements. It's just that I will live the life I want to live.
At the end of the press conference, many reporters asked to take photos with Tang Xiaosheng, and Tang Xiaosheng readily agreed.
After taking a photo with Tang Xiaosheng, several female reporters were overjoyed because this was their dream. It's just that what all the reporters didn't expect was that this was the last time they took a photo with Tang Xiaosheng, and at the same time, today was also the last press conference held by Tang Xiaosheng.
After handing over the affairs of the Dream Fund to Zhang Wang Lingfeng, Tang Xiaosheng's visit to do all the things was done. Thereupon. After attending a press conference. Tang Xiaosheng said goodbye to Wang Lingfeng, left Jinghua City on the same day, and returned to Baiyang Village alone.
After arriving at Baiyang Village, Tang Xiaosheng continued to prepare a plan for retreat with Xiaolongnu, Zhao Min, Dongfang Undefeated and others.
Seven days later. That is, on February 1. Baiyang Village ushered in a great event. A year ago. Tang Xiaosheng invested 90 million yuan to build a kung fu school in his hometown Baiyang Village.
After nearly a year of construction, the Kung Fu School has now been fully completed. After the New Year, you can officially start school.
In order to celebrate this happy event, Baiyang Village is decorated with lanterns, drums and gongs, and firecrackers are ringing in unison, and the whole village is like a festival. On this day, there were also many outsiders in Baiyang Village, including Kentaro Ishii, the head coach of the martial arts of the Kung Fu School, Wu Gang, the head coach of the film and television class of the Kung Fu School, Long Feihong, the chairman of the Long Group, and so on.
These people come to Baiyang Village mainly to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Kung Fu School.
Kentaro Ishii and Wu Gang are the head coaches of the amateur class and the film and television class of the kung fu school respectively, and it is natural for them to come to the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and the reason why Long Feihong also attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony is because the kung fu school's engineering projects are all contracted by the Long Group.
Of course, Long Feihong came to Baiyang Village this time mainly to visit his sister Long Xiaoxue and brother-in-law Tang Xiaosheng. At the same time, accompanying Long Feihong to Baiyang Village was a young and beautiful woman, this woman was Long Feihong's girlfriend, whose name was Zhang Yuting.
Speaking of Zhang Yuting, Tang Xiaosheng is still a little impressed, she is the daughter of Zhang Yidong, chairman of the domestic home appliance retail giant Meining Electric. In 2016, Long Tianhao once thought that Long Xiaoxue was dead, and once acted as a matchmaker for Tang Xiaosheng, wanting to match Zhang Yuting and Tang Xiaosheng, because according to Zhang Yidong, Zhang Yuting seemed to admire Tang Xiaosheng very much.
It's just that Tang Xiaosheng politely rejected Long Tianhao's kindness at that time, so he had no relationship with Zhang Yuting.
Unexpectedly, two years later, Zhang Yuting and Long Feihong came together, and after the Chinese New Year, they were going to get engaged. One of them is the daughter of the domestic home appliance retail giant Zhang Yidong, and the other is the son of the domestic real estate tycoon Long Tianhao, which can be regarded as a good match.
Seeing that Long Feihong was about to start a family, as his sister, Xiaolongnu was also very pleased. You must know that a few years ago, Long Feihong was still a rich man with nothing to do, and it was not until he met Tang Xiaosheng that he began to have a little ambition and slowly became interested in doing business. After several years of training, Long Feihong has now picked up the burden of Long's Group.
Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu, Long Feihong, Zhang Yuting and others rarely got together, and after participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the kung fu school, they had a meal together at Tang's house. After eating, Long Feihong and Zhang Yuting returned to Jinghua City, because they both had important things to do.
Although Long Feihong is gone, there is one person who continues to stay in Baiyang Village, and this person is Kentaro Ishii.
The kung fu school in Baiyang Village has just been established, and as the school's head martial arts coach, Kentaro Ishii decided to spend half a month in Baiyang Village to guide the school's teaching work.
In fact, the kung fu school in Baiyang Village has been a martial arts coach, among them, Tian Bo's grandson Tian Yu entered the Jinghua Kung Fu School two years ago under the introduction of Tang Xiaosheng. Now that he has returned from his studies, he is temporarily serving as the coach of Baiyang Village Kung Fu School.
Kentaro Ishii stayed in Shirayo Village this time, just to guide him by the way. Of course, in addition, he also wanted to take the opportunity to catch up with Tang Xiaosheng.
Although there are many people who have learned martial arts from Tang Xiaosheng, there is only one person who can really be called Tang Xiaosheng's apprentice. At the beginning, Kentaro Ishii knelt down in front of the media to worship Tang Xiaosheng as his teacher, and he was also the only apprentice that Tang Xiaosheng had personally admitted so far.
Kentaro Ishii is a veritable martial arts idiot, and exploring martial arts is his lifelong pursuit. For Kentaro Ishii's selfless spirit, Tang Xiaosheng admires it very much. Anyone who can concentrate on one thing will be extraordinary.
During Kentaro Ishii's stay in Baiyang Village for half a month, Tang Xiaosheng decided to help him and personally taught half of the Nine Yin True Scripture to Kentaro Ishii.
Although Kentaro Ishii had studied the "Nine Yin True Scripture" before, he had only learned the surface. Now that he suddenly came into contact with half of the "Nine Yin True Scripture", he almost scared him stupid. Because the subtlety of these martial arts methods is far beyond his imagination.
Seeing these mental methods, Kentaro Ishii realized that the martial arts he had learned before were not worth mentioning at all, and he also knew more about the meaning of the ancient Chinese saying "There are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky", and at the same time, he felt that Tang Xiaosheng was unfathomable.
I was fortunate to get the true biography of Tang Xiaosheng and learn the superior mental method of the "Nine Yin True Scripture", Kentaro Ishii was very surprised.
However, he was also a little disappointed.
Because he understands that these martial arts taught to him by Tang Xiaosheng are probably farewell gifts from Tang Xiaosheng. After the Chinese New Year, Tang Xiaosheng will choose to go into hiding. (To be continued.) )
