Chapter 234 Major Events in the First Year of Public Welfare

Before New Year’s Eve every year, Li Chen would organize a dinner party for his artists.

This year is no exception.

Li Chen and Liu Yifei have not arrived yet, but the artists and their families have already arrived.

The topic of discussion is still Chen's photography, which has been popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait these days.

Yang Mi inevitably became the object of ridicule.

"Mi Mi, your idol's marriage is in trouble, and you have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Xiaozhu, shut up. My idol has long been replaced by my senior!" Yang Mi said stubbornly.

Sitting next to Tang Yan and Luo Jin were Deng Chao and Sun Li.

However, Luo Jin was chatting enthusiastically with Sun Li.

As family members of Tang Yan and Deng Chao, the two also received benefits this year.

The two will star in "The Hidden" which is a drama to be filmed by Rongchen Pictures this year.

When Li Chen and Liu Yifei arrived, several people were still discussing.

Only when she saw Li Chen coming in did Zhu Yawen shut up.

"I heard you guys talking before I even came in, why don't you continue?"

Li Chen and Liu Yifei sat down.

Yang Mi held Liu Yifei's arm affectionately and said, "You are such a disgusting classmate."

Zhu Yawen was not happy: "How could I be annoying, Mimi? I just told the truth, and you are not happy about it."

"How about we make a bet on whether you have a chance!"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes at Zhu Yawen: "Boring!"

Li Chen just heard Zhu Yawen say that no man can stand his wife's nude photos being commented on by others.

However, Yang Mi firmly believes that her idol is definitely not a heartless person.

Li Chen calmed the argument between the two with just one sentence.

"Mi Mi, Xiao Zhu is right. Your idol is also a man, not a saint."

Yang Mi was stunned, while Zhu Yawen smiled silently with her head down, as if she had won a battle.

Yang Mi still didn't believe it, and pulled Liu Yifei and frowned, "Why did the senior say that? Do you believe Tingfeng?"

Liu Yifei raised her lips: "I believe you, Senior."

Yang Mi was immediately deflated and felt listless throughout the meal.

Li Chen went back to Sanya and did not return from Sanya until after the 15th.

Liu Yifei was very busy during the New Year, as she had to participate in disaster relief performances.

On the one hand, she has to attend various brand events that she endorses.

Just two days after Li Chen returned, Rongchen Pictures was unexpectedly pushed to the forefront because of its donation issue.

The incident started when the "Daily Economic News" reported a list of corporate donations for the snowstorm published by the Red Cross Society, which consisted of 52 well-known companies and institutions.

Led by real estate, no company donated money, and the entertainment industry was also affected.

Rongchen Pictures was naturally the first to be affected.

Huayi and Chengtian have always been very high-profile in their charity work.

Huayi and Li Lianjie's One Foundation have already reached a strategic cooperation.

Taking this opportunity, they also announced that they would donate 1 cent for every movie ticket sold for future Huayi movies.

I'm afraid that KFC's inspiration for donating one yuan in the future also came from Huayi's donation of one cent.

Rongchen Pictures is the most profitable company in the entertainment industry, but it is not on the list.

Suddenly, Rongchen Pictures proved the old saying: People are afraid of becoming famous just as pigs are afraid of getting fat.

Countless netizens flocked to Rongchen Pictures’ official website and Li Chen’s blog to question their souls.

"Little Leo is obsessed with money. Even a stingy person like you is not as stingy as me!"

"You can't bring it with you when you are born and you can't take it with you when you die. Why keep it to have babies with the celestial beings?"

"You've earned so much, but you and Liu Yifei only donated 200 million each? My movie ticket wasted."

Wang Zhonglei was delighted to see netizens and public opinion attacking Rongchen Pictures and Li Chen. He couldn't help but secretly laugh at Li Chen, saying that he was still too young and couldn't even pretend.

Even if we want to donate now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to restore the lost reputation and fame.

Wang Zhonglei called his deputy Xu Li and said, "The money cannot be donated in vain. It is time for enthusiastic netizens to uphold justice and clear our name."

Xu Li understood immediately: "I understand, Mr. Wang, I will arrange it right away."

Also gloating over this misfortune were Yang Zi and potential enemies who had long been fed up with Li Chen's dominance.

Yang Zi also called his deputy and said, "You don't need me to teach you how to do this, do you? If you can only flatter, then there's no point in keeping you."

The deputy hurriedly patted his chest and guaranteed that this time Rongchen Pictures would be in trouble if it didn't die.

"Rongchen Pictures is just seeking fame and reputation, suppressing its peers, and monopolizing the industry. It does not have the public spirit of a company."

"Why was "Father's Love 2" rejected by the General Administration? There were signs of his distorted values ​​long ago."

"Chiyou, New Line and Crystal Wu have long exposed Leo's ulterior motives in transferring assets."

"He poached Rong Xinda's girlfriend, stole Zhou Xun and Yang Mi, and abandoned Tang Yan to cheat on Liu Yifei."

The artists at Rongchen Pictures were all dumbfounded. How come so many Justice Leaguers suddenly appeared?
Are these talking about Rongchen Pictures and their boss?
Artists called Yang Siwei one after another to ask if he wanted to express his opinions on their blogs.

There must be a lot of internet trolls among these netizens, and they can guess who is behind it.

There were many netizens who sang praises for Huayi, and there were even voices calling for a boycott of Rongchen Pictures' works.

Li Chen and Yang Siwei never responded to reporters and netizens from beginning to end.

Even Liu Yifei was anxious. She called Li Chen immediately after shooting a set of commercials.

Hearing Li Chen's voice on the phone still unhurried, he was speechless.

"Are you dumb? You can't see what netizens and public opinion say about us."

"If you can't type, I'll speak for you on the blog."

Li Chen smiled calmly and said, "Why rush? We shouldn't talk about this kind of thing ourselves."

"Naturally someone will clear our name."

Liu Yifei is also a smart person and immediately understood what her boyfriend meant.

My heart suddenly relaxed.

"So you had planned this a long time ago, but you didn't tell me earlier. I was distracted while filming the commercial."

The silence of Li Chen and Rongchen Pictures made netizens think that they were in the wrong and acquiesced.

Public opinion online is becoming more intense, and there seems to be a trend of achieving success in one fell swoop.

It was not until a piece of information from the Ministry of Civil Affairs was reprinted by the Beijing News that the online condemnation suddenly died down.

5000 million!
Rongchen Pictures actually donated 5000 million.

As soon as the news came out, online public opinion was temporarily silent.

Yang Siwei sneered, it was her turn to take action.

Soon, public opinion reversed.

"One movie ticket costs ten cents, ten tickets costs one dollar, one hundred tickets costs ten dollars. I spent a long time calculating."

"If we donate 200 million, we need to sell million movie tickets. So Huayi's box office must be at least billion, right?"

"Oh my god, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it in my lifetime. I'd better buy a few more tickets for Leo's movie."

"At least Leo's conscience hasn't been eaten by a dog"

The artists from Rongchen Pictures were laughing in the QQ group.

"Senior is right. Justice may be late, but it will never be absent."

"Director Li is really patient. He didn't say a word even when netizens scolded him so harshly."

"Can an ordinary person subdue Xixi? An ordinary person would have been cannon fodder by Aunt Liu long ago."

Wang Zhonglei could no longer remember how many glasses he had broken because of Li Chen.

"This bastard even buried a hole for people when he donated money! He is such a jerk!"

Wang Zhonglei was so angry that he started cursing loudly, and his voice could be heard from far away.
