Chapter 35: Blood is Thicker than Water, Selfless Charity Performance

Xia Tian didn't put much effort into purchasing the overseas copyright for "The Swordsman of Shuangqi Town".

Let others handle the negotiations in China, and there is Pai Luo in the United States to connect.

Instead, he was somewhat interested in the film and television shooting base in the northwest...

But now is not the time to think about this.

He had already gone to Mei Gu (Mei Yanfang)'s house at this time.

His relationship with Gu Mei is second only to that of A Rong (Zhang Guorong).

The main purpose of coming to Hong Kong this time is also related to Aunt Mei.

Isn't there a flood in China? It's quite difficult, and we're all seeking help.

Aunt Anita Mui was the president of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Association and wanted to do her bit.

She told Xia Tian about her idea: she wanted to hold a charity performance to raise money to donate to the inland.

Summer is of course in favor with both hands and feet!
Before summer came, Auntie Mei had already started running around, calling on the Hong Kong entertainment industry to organize a fundraising charity performance.

Now it has finally been roughly confirmed, and what remains is the process and time of the event.

Xiatian chatted with Aunt Mei for two or three hours, then took Brother Yong and the others to the market. Following the guidance of a local old man, we bought a few pigeons at the market and took them home to raise...

These cuckoos will be used later.

……

At this time, Old Wang - Joey Wong, had also arrived in Hong Kong.

She was reading a newspaper that contained photos taken by some reporters at the premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story 3".

At that time, Joey Wong made the excuse that she was at the University of California, Los Angeles, so she didn't come.

But in fact, she is in Hong Kong.

At this moment, in the photo in the newspaper in front of him, Xia Tian was holding Lan Jieying with one hand and Wang Fei with the other, smiling very happily.

Wang Fei waved lively towards the camera, while Lan Jieying looked at Xia Tian quietly, her eyes full of sweetness.

At this time, Lao Wang had calmed down - he had fallen in love with the play while filming, and he couldn't let it go for a long time. His heart started pounding when he thought of Xia Tian.

But Xia Tian's subsequent behavior was a clear rejection of himself.

Besides, he already has girlfriends, two at that. What can I do? Can I still snatch them away?

Didn’t you break up with Chyi Chin because he was fickle?

And... Lan Jieying also told herself that Qi Qin had a son who was seven or eight years old!
I asked someone to investigate it some time ago, and it’s true!

He actually deceived himself from the very beginning...

At this point, Lao Wang was feeling a bit discouraged – he really wanted to quit the industry. What should he do?
And Arong also learned from Xia Tian that Mei Gu and others were going to organize a charity performance to donate money for the disaster-stricken areas in the inland, so he had already flown back from California.

Although he has retired from the music industry, he can't help but participate in this kind of thing!
Xia Tian went to the airport to pick him up in person, and a few friends had a big meal that night, but they didn't drink much because the charity performance was going to start the next day.

……

On July 7, the "Selfless Charity Performance" officially began.

The charity performance was held on the grassy grounds outside Happy Valley in Hong Kong.

For this charity performance, 20 artists including Auntie Mui, Sister A (Liza Wang), and Sister Fei (Synopsis Lydia Shum) formed a core planning group and coordinated with institutions such as the Hung Hom Stadium and Radio Hong Kong to mobilize resources within 72 hours. The two old rivals, TVB and ATV, also held a simultaneous live broadcast for the first time.

TVB's Shaw Brothers sent TVB's engineering department to revamp the on-site sound system, and the engineers worked all night to debug the equipment.

At this moment, everyone is united, and it is a deep proof that blood is thicker than water.

Almost all of Hong Kong's top artists participated in this charity performance, including the Four Heavenly Kings (who had not yet been fully formed at the time).

There are also Auntie Mei, A Rong, Principal Tam, Big Nose Dragon, Chow Yun-fat, Fatty Hung, Stephen Chow, Beyond, etc.

Not only did people from the film, television, music and sports circles perform together, but even Hong Kong political and business celebrities came to show their support.

A telephone fundraising service was set up on site – citizens could call the hotline to pledge donations.

There is also a live auction - the artists donate their personal items for auction.

Corporate donations...

After all, it was organized in a hurry and involved too many people, so the scene still seemed too messy.

But the passion and love are real, enough to move anyone.

Xia Tian took Lan Jieying and Wang Fei with him and told them to go find Mei Gu to see if there was anything they could do to help.

I personally helped organize the staff, move the goods, and set up the stage as best I could. The LED screen was also installed first. The wiring was a mess, and it looked a bit cyberpunk...

Although Xia Tian was not very fond of Chow Yun-fat, he had to be helped this time. He borrowed more than 30 nanny cars through his personal connections to pick up and drop off the artists who participated in the charity performance. Dozens of people were there for two or three hours. At noon, the owner of a tea restaurant brought 2,000 boxed lunches in several cars.

"It's free, let everyone eat. I'm doing my part!"

The barbecued pork rice was delicious and I even added extra pork.

I wish the boss a prosperous business and a long life!
After lunch, more and more celebrities and artists came. It was obvious that many of them came in a hurry and may not have been in Hong Kong before.

Many audience members also arrived one after another.

This piece of grass is the outer perimeter of the racecourse. Hong Kong people love gambling, especially horse racing, so this racecourse is very important.

This place is also very spacious, but it is already packed with spectators!

The charity performance officially began at three o'clock in the afternoon.

As hosts, Zeng Aizi and Fat Mama said a lot of warm-up words.

The huge LED screen behind them, made up of light bulbs, also showed images of the disaster-stricken areas. The scene was very touching and everyone was very excited.

The performance is also extremely exciting, starting with a big move - Liu Dehua breaks a stone with his chest!
Andy lay down on a long bench, and two martial artists placed a cement board on his chest.

The one holding the sledgehammer is... Summer!
Xia Tian: I have to do this job. I know my limits and can make sure the slate breaks without hurting you!
Andy: Brother Tianer, please spare my life!

Xia Tian: Just wait and see~
"he tui~" Xia Tian pretended to spit on his hand.

If anyone doesn’t donate today, I will smash Hua Zai to death!

At this moment, countless audiences in the audience held their breath and stared, and the air seemed to freeze.

And Xia Tian was like picking up a wooden stick, swinging the big hammer into a circle and raising it above his head, then suddenly swinging it down with a "Duang" sound.

Huazi on the stool trembled suddenly - the stone was fine!

There was already an exclamation from the audience, and many female fans stood up excitedly!

Xia Tian was not polite at all. He glanced around and swung the sledgehammer again, "Duang".

The stone is still fine~
Hua Zi's eyes widened and he winked at Xia Tian: "Brother! It's almost done! Although it doesn't hurt, it's still scary!"

So, summer came again.

The hammer fell a third time, and the stone slab shattered.

Hua Zi suddenly sat up, and a mouthful of bright red liquid gushed out from the corner of his mouth, staining his white T-shirt red!
The whole audience was in an uproar, and the exclamations were deafening!
He stood up with difficulty, looked at the audience with a firm gaze, and pointed at the four words printed on his T-shirt: "Blood is thicker than water."

Good! The show is over!

——Of course I stuffed the blood bag into his mouth in advance. I couldn’t really kill him with it!
I hold a sledgehammer in my hand in the summer and I feel that it is really convenient to use. It’s just a little light!
He whispered, "Does anyone else want to perform this? I'm very measured."

When Arong saw him looking at him, he shook his head like a rattle!
Don't come on! You want to take revenge?

Because of Andy Lau’s hard work, the audience donated money crazily.

The next program was a duet between Mei Gu and A Rong, which also set off a wave of popularity.

The popularity of these two people is unquestionable, not to mention that Arong has already retired from the music industry. If it weren't for this charity performance, it would be basically impossible for him to sing in public.

Beyond's performance was one of the highlights of the charity concert. They sang the song "Earth" with deep emotion.

There is another highlight of this charity performance - it is the first and only joint performance of the Wynners and the TVB Five Tigers.

Ten popular stars performed on the same stage, which excited the audience at the scene and those watching the live broadcast, and they donated money one after another.

This charity performance will not only feature artists from Hong Kong, but also many artists from the island.

Now is the time for both sides of the Taiwan Strait to become one family!
In order to participate in the charity performance, Sylvia Chang, who is from the island, had to bring her one-year-old son on stage with her.

Holding the child in one hand and the microphone in the other, she sang the entire song "Childhood" in a trembling but firm voice. The audience was deeply moved and applauded wildly.

In addition to her, stars from the island such as Wakin Chau, Luo Dayou, Jonathan Lee, Annie Yi, and Harlem Yu also came to participate in the performance.

There are also live "on-demand" programs for wealthy people on the scene,
For example, a boss offered to donate money in exchange for a somersault performance by the giant dragon, and the giant dragon did seven somersaults in a row without hesitation!
After finishing the performance, he did not leave to rest, but together with Sally Yeh, he walked around the audience holding donation boxes, calling on more people to donate generously.

George Lam and Sally Yeh also flew back from abroad.

There was also Li Ming, who was asked by a wealthy woman to sing an unfamiliar song for 50 yuan, and he agreed without hesitation.

As a result, because he did not prepare in advance, the background music was played at a high pitch, causing him to frequently sing out of tune and break his voice, but he insisted on singing the whole song.

The next day, news of the "off-key prince" spread throughout Hong Kong...

Xia Tian felt that this was not only not shameful, but rather an honor!
　Thanks to book friends "Invisible Code" for the 500-point reward, "Fat Snorlax" for the 198-point reward, and "Readers Parading in Novels" and "Lonely Seal" for the 100-point reward.

　　thanks~
