A while ago the Bazaar Charity Night donation list was on the hot search.
This list has sparked a lot of discussion, because people have found that those female stars who frequently marketed a lot of fashion on the day of the charity night with their "xx dresses" and "fairy face value" did not donate a single penny.
The list includes just a few artists, Yang Mi Yuan Shanshan, newcomers Prince Yi and Wang Ju, and a Hong Kong and Taiwan star, Vivienne Chow.
Yang Mi, who had been caught in a fraudulent donation storm due to events such as the blind cane, left the stage of competition to the other 85 flowers, although not present but donated 500,000 yuan, the word of mouth to save the day, and reversed a lot of passers-by good sense.
Her old friend Yuan Shanshan also low-key donated 500,000 yuan.
The very capable Xiao Zhan fans donated 600,000 in one breath, coming out on top.
For this list, the point of contention remains the same as it was a few years ago, with many artists who have the money to buy hot searches but not to donate becoming the focus of attack by the eating public.
It seems that in order to avoid the previous years of the stars in the end did not donate, who donated more, who donated less controversy, this year the Bazaar changed a way to play, the stars of the charity show instead of donations.
Doing so kills two birds with one stone, both can invite the popular stars, but also do not have to be eaten by the masses prick who did not donate, so that the stars can be no burden to increase the flow of activities.
So the charity dinner became a gaggle of fame and fortune, actresses competing for the C position and the finale, light up the eyes to look for Xindu cooperation opportunities, businessmen have their own thoughts, between the sideburns of the clothes, everyone pushed the cups to exchange, the new interests of this generation.
At the end of the day, people's impression of the charity night is only that of who is dressed the best, and who is the most colorful.
In fact, Bazaar Charity Night was an event initiated by Su Mang during the SARS outbreak in 2003. When she chatted with Na Ying, she suggested that during this period, celebrities' former clothing and supplies could be put up for auction in exchange for money and donated to the needy.
So Su Mang, with no big-name sponsors and no financial support, built this class with her own connections and raised about 160,000 dollars.
The first charity night was born in a bar in Beijing, with six of the 14 air-conditioners broken, and the stars bidding on each other's costumes to support the occasion, with no fancy clothes or limelight, and even less swarms of reporters.
In the later years, Su Mang used her strong connections and resources to pull in more and more big businessmen and showbiz stars, and the flavor of the charity night changed.
The amount of money raised has increased year after year, but the charity night seems to have turned into a big show for the upper class, with the big ones attending to earn a good name and the small ones competing to get a ticket to this celebrity feast.
Charity has become a gimmick.
Since 2007, the Bazaar Charity Night has left a lasting impression on the world of entertainment, and the darkness between the stars.
For example, in 2007, the four Dan double ice in addition to Xu Jinglei were all present, Zhang Ziyi and Zhao Wei and other self-contained, Fan Bingbing stood on the edge of the stage in despair.
14 years, Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi because the red carpet finale upset, arch rivals see each other, and a lot of eye red. Finally, the event organizer Su Mang personally accompanied Zhang Ziyi on the red carpet, and then Fan Bingbing finale.
17 years of Bazaar, but also to push the atmosphere of entertainment to death to the peak.
Ode to Joy five beautiful performances of the sister track, but the whole process of zero interaction, Zhang Shaohan grabbed the C wind storm, Su Mang in the scene to adjust the position of the shouting, Liu Jialing and Zhang Ziyi looked at each other with a smile ......
Charity Night, has been stripped of its Vanity Fair to become the most highly regarded luxury show.
In my opinion, fans rather than keying in on the data to see who donated and who didn't, should be more concerned about where the money ultimately went and whether it was used in the right places.
More and more celebrities are treating public service as a kind of show and a tool to build up a persona.
In fact, there is no excuse for showmanship, as long as the real thing, for those who need help to improve the life of the publicity is not too much, but also the formation of a virtuous circle, a group of stars are in order to make a good name for the public welfare to do what they can, no matter what the starting point is, but it does do a good thing.
The most typical example is Jackie Chan and Chow Yun-Fat, Jackie Chan has said on several occasions that he will use half of his fortune to do charity, Chow Yun-Fat directly indicates that he will be after the naked donation of 5.6 billion dollars.
But no one has ever questioned their starting point, because they really have the heart to do charity.
No need to be overly critical of people who do good things.
But there will always be people who will use public service and charity as a means to make a name for themselves.
For example, Jiang Yiyan, who has been teaching for ten years, has left a lot of great photographs in the mountains:
For example, this photo with the mountains:
(Notice the boys climbing on the rocks above, there's no need for them to do such dangerous things just for the sake of posing for the camera.
This was supposed to be a good thing, but there are dozens of fluff pieces on the Internet with the same content about this incident.
Actor Wang Ji in a variety show has exposed the showbiz fake charity, 512 earthquake, many stars swarmed to the disaster area, in fact, just to go to the local stamping point to take pictures, talk about earthquake relief, but live in Chengdu among the five-star hotels.
Wang Ji said, "At that time, we were clearly arranged for us to be ordinary hotels, but many stars went to five-star hotels."
Because of the harsh conditions, there would be a temporary cafeteria for the victims to eat in, and Wang Ji found that she rarely saw any other celebrities when she ate there.
There were even celebrities who promised the camera how much they would donate and then didn't donate at all afterward.
Fame and fortune are an abyss, and when you gaze into it, it gazes into you.
When stars can't wait to use charity to establish a persona, think about Zhang Ziyi, in order to win a reputation, stained with a lifetime can not be erased, but also nearly hitched into the whole career, of course, in the end, but also back to blood.
People are really very tolerant of doing charity, because do charity three words, itself means a kind of immunity, with it secretly will explain, I did, just not publicized so much.
Ancient people say, "Things whisked away, y hidden merit and fame."
Doing charity, also needs a threshold, the highest threshold is whether there is a heart that really wants to do good things.
In this era of fame and fortune can be realized in exchange for money, the demand for Lei Feng spirit seems to be a little difficult, but at least, want to good reputation, we have to take the real money to change, don't hang sheep's head to sell the dog meat, don't bring a bunch of equipment and staff to shoot a few photos, on the big release that their own people are beautiful and kind-hearted.
When you have the ability to help people, you feel happy, and that's the joy of giving.
They can rewrite other people's destiny, they can save people who are struggling with bad luck. God has given them far more wealth and luck than ordinary people (of course, this is not without personal effort), they should take some responsibility for the society.
This is the sentiment of those who have the ability to help the world.
So charity is still a private thing, and people who are really happy and satisfied with it don't make a big deal out of it.
Hong Kong film and television tycoon Run Run Shaw, after experiencing the splendor of the Shaw Brothers film industry and the stars of TVB, will look to the mainland, he once said, "China to be strong, the key to the education and training of talent, the money earned to donate in the cause of education, to do something practical, it is my greatest wish. "
Nearly 30,000 Shaw buildings and the construction of more than 6,000 educational and medical projects throughout the country's provinces and cities.
At the time of the Wenchuan earthquake, Run Run Shaw had donated HK$100 million, topping the list in one fell swoop, but never made a high-profile claim.
Just as many schools have Shaw buildings, we have all enjoyed the goodwill given by people of great ability.
Not long ago, I read a story in People's Daily about an anonymous person in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, who donates money to the Ningbo Charity Federation around November every year.
During the past 20 years, the charity has never stopped, in addition to Ningbo, let nature take its course, respectively, to Sichuan, Qinghai, Anhui, Taizhou and other areas affected by natural disasters donations, financial assistance to poor college students, migrant workers, etc., the cumulative public welfare donations amounted to more than 11,550,000 yuan.
On the remittance form, the address and name are all fake.
From the 50,000 yuan donated in 1999, the anonymous person began to insist on donations every year, and the amount is getting bigger and bigger.
The word "charity" has the words "heart" and "mouth" underneath it, and those who have the same heart and mouth and treat charity as business and speculation will never know the beauty of this transcendence of selfishness.
