The anti-fraud bureau needs a promotional video, and you're going to make a "Desperate Gam

Chapter 109 [Subscribe Now!] Box office surpasses expectations! But the next moment, Song Hao's house collapses?!
Wang Chuanjun was very surprised when he heard that Song Hao only donated 100,000 yuan.

He thought he had misheard, so he asked again, "You're only donating 100,000?"

Song Hao shrugged and said, "I think 100,000 is already quite a lot."

“This 100,000 is clearly not commensurate with your status,” Wang Chuanjun reminded him.

Song Hao laughed: "If you want to show off your status by donating money, that's too degrading. People won't look up to you just because you donate a lot."

"The reason I don't want to donate more is because they don't even release the list of donors. Who knows where they'll use the donations? I'd rather donate to the children in the mountains myself and build them a school. They'll remember me for the rest of their lives."

After hearing this, Wang Chuanjun's resolve began to waver.

Actually, he didn't want to donate that much.

However, just now when I was walking the red carpet, I ran into Su, the editor-in-chief of Bazaar fashion magazine.

After chatting for a few minutes, the other party helped Wang Chuanjun up.

"On behalf of the children in the mountains, thank you, Mr. Chuan."

It was this statement that made Wang Chuanjun determined to donate one million yuan.

Now, listening to Song Hao's analysis, he found it quite reasonable.

"Then I'll donate a little less, 500,000 will do." Wang Chuanjun naturally didn't dare to donate only 100,000 like Song Hao.

It's better to be moderate than too high or too low.

Soon, the charity gala began.

The lights were flashing.

Most of the top-tier and second-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry came.

This kind of prestige seems to only be seen at the China Film Festival, right?
When Editor-in-Chief Su came on stage, he first thanked all the celebrities for attending.

Then, she also took out some paintings that were collectible.

Let the celebrities bid against each other.

"As in previous years, the proceeds from our auction will ultimately be donated to children in mountainous areas," Editor-in-Chief Su said with a smile.

Song Hao was looking at the painting on the stage.

To describe it in three words, it's ugly.

However, quite a few celebrities still offered bids.

The scene was so lively, it was more like shopping at a vegetable market.

The first painting was auctioned off to Zhang Yiyi for 320 million yuan.

Zhang Yiyi held up a sign, looked at the camera, and then smiled, saying, "Let me start the discussion!"

Editor-in-Chief Su was pleased to see Zhang Yiyi's enthusiasm.

Holding Zhang Yiyi's hand, she said to the audience, "Sister Yiyi really never misses a year's event and is very supportive of our charity gala. She also cares a lot about the children in the mountains. On behalf of the children, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you."

Zhang Yiyi immediately said, "Actually, I know that Editor-in-Chief Su is very busy, but she still personally organizes this charity gala every year. I also hope that she can continue to pass on this love and let everyone here contribute their share of love."

After he finished speaking, everyone present applauded.

But in reality, everyone knows that.

The reason why Zhang Yiyi is so eager to bid every year is because Editor-in-Chief Su arranges a fashion cover for her every now and then.

It's worth noting that appearing on the cover of Harper's Bazaar fashion magazine is something most female celebrities aspire to.

After all, it represents prestige and brand recognition.

Soon, as the charity gala progressed...

The amount of donations is increasing.

Of course, there were also some celebrities who didn't succeed in the bidding until the very end.

Therefore, there will eventually be a nationwide donation drive.

Each celebrity writes the donation amount and their personal signature on a card and puts it in the box.

The money will be deposited into the designated donation account after the event concludes.

Song Hao was not interested in these formal donations.

The reason I came here is to scout for some good actors and take the opportunity to get to know them.

So after writing down the amount of 100,000, he put it in the box.

Because this charity gala was broadcast live in its entirety.

Many netizens are watching.

"Wow, Sister Yiyi has become the person who donated the most again."

"It seems like she donates a lot of money every year."

"Yes, he's a philanthropist."

"That's great, there should be more artists like her."

“I’ve seen some celebrities donate very little before.”

"They make so much money, why don't they donate more?"

"Whether you donate a lot or a little, it's all worth supporting. If you're so capable, why donate yourself?"

Attentive netizens noticed that Song Hao was also in the shot.

"Director Song went too."

"Of course, Song Hao is now a top director in China."

"Today, the box office of 'Dying to Survive' has surpassed that of 'Operation Mekong'."

"really?"

"Yes, it has already surpassed it, just now."

"That's amazing. Director Song must have donated a lot. After all, I'm not the God of Medicine this time, so I must have made a fortune."

The gala came to a successful end amidst everyone's anticipation.

Song Hao returned home.

It has been discovered that the box office of "Dying to Survive" has reached 24.4 billion yuan, officially surpassing the performance of "Operation Mekong".

The system task has been completed.

[A film with a rating of 8.5 or higher has already been released! Breaking its own box office record!]

[Mission Reward: Obtain Christopher Nolan's visual style, Silver Treasure Chest *1]

Song Hao immediately clicked to claim.

In an instant, Nolan’s visual style came to mind.

It even made him feel a little dizzy at one point.

It must be said that director Nolan is indeed a talent.

They are capable of producing an epic sci-fi blockbuster like "Interstellar".

He even thought that if he had the ability, he would try making one or two films himself.

However, Song Hao does not currently intend to focus his future efforts on science fiction films.

After all, his economic strength was not yet sufficient to support him in completing these attempts.

If "Dying to Survive" can reach a box office of 30 billion yuan, its net profit will be around 12 billion yuan.

According to the previous profit-sharing agreement, he was even able to receive two small targets.

Song Hao wondered if Zhou Qian would still give him such a high percentage of box office revenue if she knew this movie would gross over 30 billion. Although the box office revenue from his previous film, *Operation Mekong*, was donated to the aftermath of the sacrificed police officers.

But after accumulating experience, Song Hao now has quite a bit of capital.

If you have the capital, then you have to start doing it yourself.

So he began planning to start his own company.

After all, every time a movie is made, investment needs to be found, and the profits generated also need to be shared, so it's still a bit of a pain.

Song Hao knows that as long as he makes a movie, he will basically not lose money.

Under such circumstances, it is definitely more cost-effective to start your own company.

However, this idea will have to wait until "Dying to Survive" is completely taken off the shelves and the money is in hand before making any further plans.

Now, naturally, I need to take a good rest and enjoy life.

however.

the other side.

After the Bazaar Charity Gala.

Editor-in-Chief Su frowned as he looked at the list of donors.

The amount of donations this year is significantly less than last year.

This made her somewhat unhappy.

As a leading figure in domestic fashion magazines, she believes that the celebrities on these lists have all been carefully selected to enter this charity gala.

The result was such a lack of enthusiasm for donating.

Editor-in-Chief Su looked down at the bottom of the list, wanting to see who had donated the least.

I don't plan to invite them again next time.

My gaze slid straight to the bottom.

It turned out to be Song Hao.

Editor-in-Chief Su was naturally familiar with Song Hao.

A director, yet he has the face of a top male actor.

I've heard many actors say he has excellent acting skills, but he has no interest in acting.

Instead, he wants to prove himself in the field of directing.

After learning of this news, Editor-in-Chief Su became very interested in him.

I hope to get to know them better through this charity gala.

We'll shoot a few more fashion magazine covers then to generate some buzz.

But who would have thought that he was the one who donated the least?

It's worth noting that the currently showing film "Dying to Survive" has already grossed over 20 billion yuan at the box office.

Donating only 100,000 yuan is simply not enough.

Editor-in-Chief Su put the list aside and looked at his assistant, saying, "Make a note of all the celebrities who donated less than 500,000 yuan. Don't invite them next year."

"Understood, Mr. Su." The assistant immediately began making arrangements.

When she was taking photos, she was surprised to find that the last person was the famous Song Hao.

Out of curiosity, she sent the picture to her best friend.

Assistant: [So your idol, Director Song, is really stingy.]

Best friend: [Huh?? How come you only donated 100,000? Even the third-tier actors above donated 200,000.]

Assistant: [I don't know, maybe the richer they are, the stingier they are.]

Best friend: [Wait a minute, he used to donate money after every movie he filmed, why isn't he doing it anymore?]

Assistant: [People say they're donating, but how do you know they actually did? Maybe they didn't. Look at the amounts on this list; you can't judge a book by its cover.]

Best friend: [Forget it, I'm not a fan of him anymore.]

Assistant: [Don't tell anyone else about this. I'm only telling you.]

Best friend: [Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone.]

A day later, a photo circulated online.

The record of Song Hao donating 100,000 yuan was clearly visible above.

This immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens.

"Wow, Director Song only donated 100,000 yuan."

"Was it the Bazaar Charity Gala the day before yesterday?"

"correct."

"I was stunned. I thought he had donated a lot of money."

"Didn't he donate the box office revenue from 'Operation Mekong' before?"

"Who knows what happened? Anyway, it's all written down in black and white, so it can't be fake, right?"

"I really didn't expect that Director Song would only donate such a small amount."

Soon, Song Hao became a trending topic because of his small donation.

Song Hao was still asleep in bed, completely unaware of what was happening.

It was Zhou Shibao who called him.

"Brother Hao, are you awake yet?"

Song Hao asked with his eyes closed, "What's wrong? Why are you calling so early in the morning?"

"Did you donate 100,000 yuan at the Bazaar Charity Gala?" Zhou Shibao asked.

"How did you know?" Song Hao turned around.

Zhou Shibao replied: "Because someone released your donation records, now everyone thinks you donated too little. They think your movie 'Dying to Survive' was a huge success, yet you're still so stingy."

"How much I donate is my own business. You can't use moral blackmail. Besides, it's not like I haven't donated through other channels," Song Hao said with a smile.

“I know all that, but now netizens have some complaints about you, what should you do?”

"Ignore them, don't spoil them. Okay, I'm not saying anything more, I'm going back to sleep."

Afterwards, Song Hao continued to drift off to sleep.

Zhou Shibao grew increasingly anxious as he read the online discussions.

Just then, Director Zhang happened to pass by.

He noticed that Zhou Shibao's expression was a bit off, so he asked, "Little Zhou, what's wrong?"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Shibao finally told Director Zhang about the incident that was circulating online.

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang immediately said, "Go and call Section Chief Sun from the Finance Department. Have him compile a complete list of all the anti-fraud funds donated by Xiao Song and publish it on the official account today."

Zhou Shibao was very surprised and quickly replied, "Yes, Director Zhang!"

Subsequently, Director Zhang dialed the phone numbers of Director Zheng of the Jinling Culture and Tourism Bureau and Director Long of the Anti-Drug Bureau.

"Hey, Lao Zheng."

"Hey, Brother Long."

Sorry I'm late!
The second update is here.

Later, there was a third...
