Rebirth Turn

Chapter 74 Charity and Hypocrisy

On the night when the concert ended, something about the concert and Lu Yan built a tall building in the entertainment section of a certain community.

"The male god is so handsome tonight, Su die, I want to be the male god's lifelong fan."

"The headline party, I came here just to see who the landlord's male god is. The landlord asks for clarification."

"I guess it's the one who gave the recital tonight."

"A recital? Kong Xiange? That's really the number one male god in the classical music world, but he doesn't seem to be giving a recital tonight."

"Upstairs, it's not that one. It's the one from the show business circle. The charity performance in X City tonight, other than him are all seniors in the classical music industry. They say it's a farewell performance, and I don't know how to get in with a layman. .”

"The tone upstairs is so sour. Didn't everyone say that they participated in place of the deceased teacher? Besides, although he is not an insider in classical music, his performance level is not much better than that of a professional. "

"Could the people upstairs not be aggressive, just say it out, isn't it just Lu Yan?"

"Ahhhhhh, the upstairs said it, yes, it is the male god Lu, the host went out to run around excitedly just now."

"Did the host go to the concert tonight? I just came back too, so excited. Although I don't know anything about classical music, I think it sounds good, and the male god is really handsome, so handsome, nosebleed It's all coming out."

"Because of the male god, he wore a formal dress for the first time in his life."

"Me too upstairs, because of the male god, I am also a lower class person, hehehe"

"Those who didn't get the ticket fainted in the toilet"

"The toilet upstairs gave me a corner to cry together. The hand speed is too slow and I didn't get the ticket, and the scalpers don't work hard, blah blah blah blah"

"I just bought the tickets from Uncle Scalper, and the price is comparable to the front row ticket price when God of Songs holds a concert. But after seeing the performance of the male god tonight, it's worth it!"

"Upstairs mend a good knife, #咞眼"

"Don't cry for those GNs who didn't get tickets, come here, I secretly took a few photos of the male god, and I'll show you jap.pictures, jap.pictures, jap.pictures"

"Upstairs is really a good person, take him away and kneel and lick him."

"The photo is a bit blurry, I can't see clearly."

"#流汗, I took the photo secretly, I didn't dare to turn on the flash, you know the place in the theater."

“啊啊啊啊啊,男神穿的是燕尾服吗是吗是吗是吗,从好早以前就在YY男神穿燕尾服的样子,他那身材那样貌穿起来绝对苏得一脸血啊。 "

"That's right, so handsome #口水#口水#油水"

"Raise your hand weakly, I secretly recorded the audio, especially the second half and the encore part, does anyone want it?"

"Yes, yes, yes, please, GN please upload."

"same request"

"Uploaded, address: password: nanshenwodejia"

"Good GN, downloaded"

"It's really nice, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

"It's so nice. I'm looking for a professional to analyze, how is the male god's performance tonight? Non-professionals only think it sounds very good."

"Seek expert analysis +1"

"From a professional point of view, I can only say that it is impeccable."

"That's right. Although it can't be called the top level, there is really nothing to be picky about."

"The main performance is quite satisfactory, but the adaptation of the last encore song, can I say it is simply amazing?"

"Equally amazing, it's the first time I've heard Croatian Rhapsody played by piano and violin, it's surprisingly touching."

"Maxim is always a fan, the moment he heard the song, he was almost moved to tears, Lu male god is amazing"

"Lu male god has been pushing him all his life, and he has been an old fan for a lifetime"

"A lifetime old fan +1"

"A lifetime old fan +2"

……

"A lifetime old fan + ID number"

……

The next day's headlines on the major entertainment boards were also reports about the concert.The media tickets sent out by Xingkong are not free. Except for the few influential media that are neutral, almost all of them have good relations with Xingkong.Needless to say, those self-proclaimed neutral media can only praise the perfect performance of the whole concert.The one-sided applause made those who wanted to say a few sour words obediently shut up.

Therefore, after Lu Yan was awarded Best Actor in Cannes, this concert brought a new boost to his popularity.

Lu Yan himself still has the same attitude, it's over when it's over, and he will pay attention to the good and bad comments, but he doesn't take it too seriously, the most important thing is to move forward.

But after the concert, things were not completely over.

Several old seniors discussed it and decided that it would be better to donate the proceeds of the concert to a certain unit than to donate it directly to a charity.They are very concerned about the future of the music industry, and finally decided to donate the money to the city's music university as a bursary.

The University of Music is very happy to receive such a large amount of sponsorship, because this time the donors are all veterans of the literary and art circles, and this charity performance is even more sensational in the city.The president of the university wanted to take this opportunity to promote the school, so he solemnly held a donation ceremony and invited the donors to attend.

The seniors felt that they were not interested in this kind of limelight, so they unanimously recommended Lu Yan to represent everyone.Lu Yan is not hypocritical, he just needs more and more positive exposure, so he readily agrees.

The time was set for Saturday afternoon, and the place was in the auditorium of the University of Music.

Lu Yan's car was stopped at the school gate, Song Hui got out of the car to negotiate, and while he was talking, the school leader came out to welcome him.It was the teaching director who came, told the security guard who stopped the car to let him go, and walked to the car with Song Hui.

Lu Yan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, rolled down the window, took off his sunglasses, and smiled at the person who came.

When the students passing by saw the people sitting in the car, they all stopped and looked sideways, and a few girls screamed in a low voice, "Ah, it's Lu Yan."

"It's really Lu Yan. He's more handsome in person than on the screen. But why did he come to our school?"

"You don't know, he sent donations to our school."

"Really, the one in the auditorium this afternoon?"

"Yeah, that's it."

"Oh, what are you waiting for, let's go to the auditorium, we won't be able to squeeze in if it's late."

"Yes, go, go, go."

When the dean came to the car, Lu Yan didn't take Joe, got out of the car politely, and shook hands with the person who came.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, I am the dean of the school. My name is Guan Wei. The principal asked me to wait for you here."

"Hi, Mr. Guan, sorry for the long wait." Lu Yan said with a smile.

"Not long ago, I just arrived, I almost made you wait, sorry. Then let's go directly to the auditorium?"

"Ok."

Guan Wei followed them into the car, sat in the back seat, and pointed the way for Song Hui, who came to the Music University for the first time.

Lu Yan and the others arrived neither early nor late, and the auditorium was almost full of people. On the way here, they saw many students rushing here.

Guan Wei said with a smile, "Mr. Lu is very popular. The students know that Mr. Lu is coming today, and they are very enthusiastic. It is not easy to let them come to the auditorium."

Lu Yan smiled politely, "Mr. Guan was joking."

Escorted by Guan Wei and Song Hui, Lu Yan walked to the front row. Although the students were a little disturbed when they saw Lu Yan coming, they were highly educated and of high quality, and there was no such thing as crowding and besieging.There was only one girl who might have been too excited and suddenly yelled, "Lu Yan, I love you."

Although the auditorium could not be said to be quiet, the sound was really prominent, and everyone looked at the girl who was speaking, and the girl blushed in embarrassment.

Lu Yan smiled at her and said seriously, "Thank you."

The girl's face turned redder, but it was no longer embarrassment, but excitement.

It didn't take too long to get to the front row. Lu Yan saw that several media outlets had already set up their cameras there, and some of them looked familiar.Lu Yan was not surprised. The principal of the school made such a big name for publicity. It was a little strange not to invite the media.

The ceremony started on time at 02:30, with the school leaders speaking at the beginning.It was the headmaster who spoke first, and what he said was nothing more than the history of the school and the honors he had received. They were all official words. Although it was a bit boring, fortunately it was not very long.The second speaker was the Youth League branch committee, coming and going, that is, some content that everyone is used to.Three or five leaders came to the stage in turn. It was obvious that everyone was very cautious because of the presence of the media. They all dressed formally and tried to look radiant when they spoke.Everyone didn't talk for a long time, and it took only half an hour to finish. This is really rare, so the students were not impatient.

After the leaders finished speaking, they entered the theme.The principal came to the stage again. He first thanked the veterans in the literary and art circles for their donation and support to the school, and then congratulated several students who received donations today.

The next few students who received donations were invited to the stage. There were five people in total, four men and one woman.Although the appearance index of the students of the University of Music is not as good as that of the Academy of Performing Arts, it is still a few grades higher than that of ordinary universities. At least the students who came on stage are all good-looking, especially one of the boys, who is tall and straight, with beautiful features and direct Everyone has the capital to be an idol group.It's just that the expressions on their faces are not so good-looking. The four students have indifferent faces, and the best-looking one has a faint humiliation. Although he tried his best to cover it up, how could he escape the eyes of Lu Yan, the movie king? .

Lu Yan didn't feel strange.There is no shortage of such students in every school, with excellent grades and poor families, so while trying to get scholarships, they can also compete for the eligibility for grants.A bursary is different from a scholarship. In addition to requiring the recipient to be good enough, the most important condition is poverty, so it is always an award that makes the recipient love or hate.

Men and women of this age are at the most sensitive and vulnerable time, and each of them has high self-esteem, especially when he is still good. Poverty is often an embarrassing thing for them, and accepting donations is in their eyes. There is more humiliation in it.

When Lu Yan was in high school, there was such a person in his class.He worked very hard and got good grades, so he won the scholarship every year and also received the highest bursary, but he was never happy, with a sullen face all day long, withdrawn and indifferent, as if everyone looked down on him He was just kidding him.

Therefore, Lu Yan also understood the mood of these people on the stage.

Originally, I wanted to hide things from everyone, but it was revealed openly like this, it was no different from showing it to the public.But they couldn't resist. The school wanted to put on a show, and they could only cooperate. The only thing they could do was to show their dissatisfaction with their expressions.

The headmaster was also a little embarrassed, but he could ask the students to come on stage, but he couldn't force their expressions. He just wanted to get through the process as soon as possible.

Lu Yan was quickly invited to the stage. He didn't care about the attitude of the students. He still smiled and maintained his best demeanor. He shook hands with them one by one, and then handed them checks one by one.

After that, the principal and Lu Yan took a group photo with the five students.The flashlight kept shining on Lu Yan's smiling face, the expressionless faces of the students and the embarrassing face of the principal.

The students and the principal left the stage one after another, and Lu Yan was left on stage by the host to make a speech.

Lu Yan was silent for a moment into the microphone, smiled and said slowly, "I would like to thank you very much, those students who stood on the stage just now, thank you for accepting this kindness, allowing me and my teacher to return There are so many seniors whose love can be passed on. You stand here today, not to show that you are poor, but to prove that you are excellent. I believe that you who are so excellent will definitely be the ones who give in the future. So, please Allow me to give you my applause in advance."

After Lu Yan finished speaking, he clapped his hands alone, once and for all, loud and powerful.Soon, the students in the audience joined forces, and there was a sound of neat applause, which fell on the eardrums and hit the heart.The expressions of the few students who came to the stage just now all changed, the original indifference became agitated, the girl's eyes seemed to be moist, and the prettiest boy even stared at Lu Yan with wide eyes in disbelief.

Lu Yan didn't say anything more, and slowly walked off the stage. The host was stunned for a while before starting to conclude his speech.

On the way back, Song Hui said while driving, "Brother Lu, the few words you just said were so good, you didn't see them, and you made those students cry."

Lu Yan smiled, "I didn't tell them to cry, they cried for themselves."

Suddenly, Song Hui slammed on the brakes and cursed, "Damn!"

It turned out that suddenly a person rushed out and blocked the car with his arms outstretched, which could make a well-bred person like Song Hui swear, which shows that he was really frightened.

Song Hui opened the car door and shouted, "You are looking for death, can you stop the car like this!"

That person ignored him and ran to the passenger side panting. Lu Yan rolled down the window. He was the prettiest boy among the five students who received gifts on the stage just now.

The boy stared at Lu Yan, "I have a few words to ask you, is that okay?"

Lu Yan thought it was interesting, got out of the car and looked at him squarely, "Say it."

The boy asked directly, "Is what you said just now true?"

Lu Yan smiled, "I never like to lie."

The boy was silent for a while, bit his lower lip, "Then have you ever accepted such a 'giving'?"

Lu Yan knew that the boy would ask such a question, and probably knew something about his past.

"No," Lu Yan shook his head, saw the boy's brows furrowed, and continued, "Because I don't need it. I have always had my own way to obtain the capital to survive. If you don't want to accept gifts from others, just You have to work hard to make yourself stronger. Before that, you just need to remember that all dignity is based on your ability to survive. No one can look down on you unless you look down on yourself first."

After speaking, Lu Yan ignored the stunned boy, got into the car, and signaled Song Hui to drive.

Before the car started, the boy suddenly came to his senses, leaned on the window and called out, "My name is Xiao Xuyan, please remember."

Lu Yan smiled, but did not respond, the car had already driven out.

This matter is not over yet.

Later, when I was doing a talk show again, the host asked Lu Yan about this matter, "Everyone advocates doing good deeds without leaving their names. Before, Mr. Lu made a high-profile donation to a certain university. What do you think?"

Lu Yan didn't answer directly, "I want to tell a story first. Confucius' great disciple Zilu once saved a child. The child's father gave him a cow to thank him. Zilu was very happy and accepted it. Some people say that he needs to be rewarded for doing good deeds, which is not enough for a gentleman. There is a law in the state of Lu. If a person of the state of Lu sees his compatriots who have suffered misfortune and become slaves in a foreign country, as long as they can redeem these people to be free, they can get compensation from the state. and rewards. Another disciple of Confucius, Zi Gong, redeemed Lu people from abroad, but he did not receive compensation and rewards from the state, and everyone praised him as a gentleman.”

The host was unknown, so, "Many people seem to know this story."

Lu Yan smiled, "Then many people should know how Sage Kong responded. For Zilu who accepted the reward, the sage praised him, saying that in this way, there will be more people who do good deeds in the future. And don't reward for doing good deeds." Zigong, the sage criticized him and lamented that in the future the people of Lu would never redeem their compatriots."

"So, what does Mr. Lu mean?"

"Although I don't dare to compare with the disciples of the saints, I'm barely a public figure, and I can set an example to some extent. If everyone thinks that doing good deeds can be rewarded, then those who do good deeds will More. Spread more positivity, and there will be more and more positivity, and I'm willing to do my part."

"Then, what benefits does Mr. Lu get?"

Lu Yan joked, "As a result, I get more people's attention, and everyone will think that I am a good person. This is the benefit."

The host didn't let it go, and continued to ask, "Then, some time ago, there was an entrepreneur who was recognized as a great benevolent person who gave money to the people in foreign countries but was rejected. Many people said he was hypocritical because of this, Mr. Lu What do you think?"

Lu Yan replied calmly, "I think this probably involves the issue of the granting party. No matter what your heart is, doing charity is to help others. If others don't need your help, it's not beautiful to force others to do what's difficult. It’s better to give more kindness to those who really need it.”

The host concluded, "So Mr. Lu doesn't object to that entrepreneur's high-profile approach?"

Lu Yan refused to be involved, "I didn't say that. It doesn't matter whether I object or not. Everyone has his own attitude and method of doing things. What I say and do is only responsible to myself. To me For me, it is enough to look up to heaven and earth, and to do things worthy of one's heart."

"Okay, then I am very grateful to Mr. Lu Yan for participating in our interview, thank you."

After this interview was broadcast, as expected, it sparked some discussion.

As a public figure, Lu Yan's words and deeds will indeed attract more attention.What's more, on such a big proposition, even without Lu Yan, people have never let go of the debate.Charity or hypocrisy?This cannot be explained so clearly. It is equivalent to judging good and evil based on the result or the starting point.

In the end, yet another post temporarily ended such a discussion.

"Whether I agree with Lu Yan's point of view or not, I appreciate his attitude very much. I started to pay attention to him at the end of last year when Lu Yan was admitted to the hospital for saving people. I found him to be quite bold and honest. A person who speaks and does things is never perfunctory, as he said, he is ashamed of the world, and he does things worthy of his heart. To be honest, such people have almost disappeared in the entertainment industry full of lies and deceit. I don’t know him How did he survive until now, but it turns out that he not only survived, but also survived very well. Every discussion about him, regardless of the beginning and the process, is always beneficial to him in the end. I don’t know if it’s because of his personality. Or luck is too good. I am old and have passed the age of star chasing long ago, but facing such a rational, straightforward and profound man, he is so seductive. I have to admit that sometimes the heart of an old woman can't hold back ...The last thing I want to say is that Lu Yan's fans are really very lucky, you have chosen an idol worth following, full of positive energy."

"Let's line up in formal clothes. Thank you for your appreciation of the male god. We will follow him for the rest of our lives."

"Thank you for your appreciation, the male god is indeed worthy of our liking."

……

A few days later, Qin Feng put a document in front of Lu Yan, and said with a smile, "I really didn't expect that there would be a follow-up to that concert."

"What's wrong?" Lu Yan looked up at him, and reached for the document.

"Your fans, I want to establish a charity fund for you. I have thought of a name, and it's called Lu Foundation. The slogan is, each person saves six yuan a week, and donates the love of the male god to those in need. "

"So, is this the planning document?" Lu Yan had already flipped through the document.

"Yes, what do you think?"

Lu Yan had roughly finished browsing, and pondered, "It's a good thing, but if it's not handled properly, it's easy to be criticized by others. The most troublesome thing about charity funds is whether the collected donations are actually used for charity."

"So, what do you think?" Qin Feng seemed to have his hands full, but he still wanted to hear Lu Yan's opinion.

"I think we can set up a foundation to manage these charitable funds, how to collect them, and how to use them. Then ask a third-party agency to supervise and regularly announce the source, total amount, and use of charitable funds, etc. Do the best possible To be open and transparent. It can even be supervised by the whole society.”

Qin Feng nodded and smiled, "That's a good idea, and I think so too. It's a good idea to supervise the whole society, and your influence will become bigger and bigger in the future. That's fine, let's do it like this."

Qin Feng patted Lu Yan's shoulder again, "I feel more and more that it was great to be able to sign you back then. I have a hunch that only you can help me realize my dream."

"That's what I want." Lu Yan smiled.
