In July, Harper's Bazaar Charity Night was held at the Boyue Hotel in Beijing.
As mentioned before, this charity night is very famous and is also the most prestigious charity night in the mainland entertainment industry.
In 2007, on the 10th anniversary of Fanxing, a charity gala was held. It was a star-studded event with big names gathered. In the end, more than 35 million yuan in donations were collected, which shocked the industry.
However, since then, Cao Xuan has not held a similar party again.
The main reason is that it is troublesome, not to mention the trouble, people donate money for his face, not to mention the favor, at least to show a smile, the key money is not raised, and there are a lot of things to do in the follow-up.
Cao Xuan thought that he might as well donate some money himself.
As I said before, the "charitable money" thing is too involved. If the accounts for one penny are wrong, it will be unclear.
Therefore, Cao Xuan is rarely willing to raise funds from outside. Except for the charity night on the 10th anniversary of Stars and the 2008 disaster relief, Cao Xuan and his fund have received almost no donations from outsiders.
Cao Xuan pays for all charity funds himself. He does not have to be responsible to outsiders for donations of any size, and he will not publicize anything.
Cao Xuan is not the only one in the entertainment industry who has established charity funds. There may be only a few who can maintain an absolute reputation, because as long as they accept donations from outside, they can easily become useless.
Cao Xuan will not judge whether this matter is right or wrong. After all, other celebrities are not as rich as him, so it is normal to raise funds from outside.
But as far as he is concerned, since he is not short of money, he naturally hopes to avoid some trouble.
Therefore, Cao Xuan does not do anything fancy, and his Tomorrow Charity Fund works quietly, rarely taking the initiative to publicize.
However, Cao Xuan doesn't care about this charity halo, but most celebrities inevitably need people who are enthusiastic about public welfare to turn donated money into fame.
This is understandable. Charity means deeds without regard to heart. Cao Xuan’s charity in his early days was not without other purposes.
However, later on, when he became a golden person and his reputation was too high, he no longer needed this halo of publicity. But if something happened one day, he could still use it to block the knife.
Therefore, even if they are celebrities, they will inevitably carry out certain charity activities under the arrangement of the company, so as to invite their names.
Cao Xuan never goes to Harper's Bazaar Charity Night, but most of the Stars artists will show off from time to time.
Especially in the past two years, many famous female stars and male stars have moved to the fashion field, and it is inevitable that they will deal with "Harper's Bazaar", one of the biggest names in the fashion industry. Once they become familiar with it, the more face they will sell.
This year's Harper's Bazaar Charity Night, the organizers will naturally not ignore the most popular stars in the entertainment industry.
Editor-in-chief Su Liubai and a senior executive from the board of directors came to deliver the invitations in person, and invited Cao Xuan to be present with a special solemnity.
Although Cao Xuan didn't go there in previous years, he would usually donate items to the auction, and any amount of money sold would be considered as charity, which was a way of doing his part.
Su Liubai and the others are also very sensible and will not bother Cao Xuan too much. They will also take the initiative to help explain when the media inquires.
But this year, the situation is a little different. Because of the recent Guo Meimei incident, domestic charities have been hit hard.
Therefore, the organizers of the charity night hope to invite Cao Xuan, [China's leading philanthropist], to take the lead and give China's charity a shot in the arm.
Not only is it Su Liubai's wish, there are also some philanthropic bosses who want Cao Xuan to come forward.
But Cao Xuan was not willing to wade into this muddy water.
Again, he does his charity and does not want to get involved with other charities, nor does he want to endorse them.
The people at Charity Mouth are very energetic, but Cao Xuan is not someone to be trifled with. "Dislocated Time and Space" has just been performed in several unnamed places before, and it also received encouragement from several people, and even went to a certain person's house for a meal.
meal.
Others may be afraid of them, but Cao Xuan is really not afraid.
However, Hu Jing felt that there was no need to make things too tense, and no one had any grudges, so don't offend her if you can.
Cao Xuan didn't want to go, so she just made up an excuse, and let her attend in Cao Xuan's place. After all, she was one of the four major stars, well-known and well-known, and she was the vice president of Fanxing, so her status was no problem.
Moreover, the relationship between the two is now basically transparent in the circle, and Hu Jing's appearance is equivalent to half of Cao Xuan.
Although it doesn't have any cardiotonic effect, it still gives the other party some assurance without hurting their face.
"The most important thing is that I want to tell everyone that I am back."
Vice President Hu, who had just been reinstated a few days ago, was holding back his energy to find something to do and find a sense of presence.
Cao Xuan went with her and packed his luggage with Empress Xigong at home. Zeng Li and his daughter were about to go on summer vacation, and the family planned to move to Qin City to escape the summer heat, and then move back when school starts soon.
Hu Jing ignored the pile of clothes in the closet and took her best friend Mei Ting to go shopping with great interest. After shopping around, she finally bought a few children's clothes for Cao Li and her son, but she still wore the ones prepared at home.
Customized gown.
This dress was specially designed and made by an Italian celebrity who flew to the capital to suit Hu Jing's figure and temperament.
For such important occasions, the family has to make many sets of dresses every year. Cao Xuan, because he attends a lot of events, can say at least 20 or 30 sets a year. Hu Jing basically has more than 10 sets. Zeng Li doesn’t go out much, so she only has 3 to 5 sets a year.
one time.
Not even just Italian famous designers, there are famous designers from France, the United States, and China.
In addition to formal wear, there are also casual clothes, which are available for all seasons. They are also specially designed and customized, but they are not as exaggerated as formal wear.
Sometimes Dongxi Ergong also buys some outside clothes, usually from famous brands, mainly because they look good.
Putting aside those customized clothes, Cao Xuan is basically like Septwolves. Even many of his customized clothes are specially designed and made by Septwolves for him.
It is no exaggeration to say that in order to provide Cao Xuan with clothes, Septwolves opened a small exclusive tailoring studio inside.
Xia Yu once complained about Cao Xuan's royal style, and he simply created a clothing bureau for himself.
However, although the style is a bit extravagant, the money is not wasted.
The three of them, Cao Xuan, have never squandered their clothes in public events. They are elegant, dignified and elegant, and are envied by countless luxury clothing brands.
In addition to Cao Xuan who is bound to Septwolves, Hu Jing and Zeng Li have also received some cooperation invitations for clothing endorsements.
Especially Zeng Li, although she is not as famous as Hu Jing, many brands are interested in her cool and delicate temperament.
Dior, Prada, and Valentino have all approached her, as well as some cosmetics brands, such as Estee Lauder, Clarins, etc. The highest bid was 10 million for three years.
Considering Zeng Li's popularity and status as a celebrity, her treatment can be said to be generous, but she just can't get enough of it.
Cao Xuan has had many endorsements in his career, and Hu Jing was actually involved in some commercial and endorsement deals in her early days, except Zeng Li, who never took on any endorsements or business activities.
In the early years, it was because her reputation was too low that no one looked for her. Later, some people were interested in her, and Zeng Li had no interest in her anymore.
When it comes to the most difficult artists to conquer in the entertainment industry, Zeng Li may not be number one, but he is definitely among the top.
It would be better to hit Cao Xuan than to hit her. After all, Empress Xigong really doesn’t want to be exposed in a similar way, and if Boss Cao spends hundreds of millions of dollars, he may not be able to help but make an exception.
Men always have to make money to support their families...
………
Hu Jing went to the charity night with great ambition. When she went there, she found that there were quite a few people she knew.
Three of the four major beauties have arrived, and many of the popular flowers below have also arrived. It is no wonder that Su Liubai has stirred up half of the entertainment industry, and no one is left alone.
Hu Jing arrived in a very low-key manner. She didn't even send out a press release like other artists. She just said hello to the organizer and then came to the red carpet.
However, her appearance still caused a sensation inside and outside the venue.
"Hu Jing, Hu Jing!"
"Jingjing, I love you."
"..."
Among the onlookers, several Hu Jing fans cheered excitedly, and Hu Jing even paused to wave to them.
Speaking of which, it is not easy to be a fan of Hu Jing. In the past few years, the number of works that Hu Jing has appeared in can be counted on one hand, and she has become a strong woman without even showing up.
Fans are both happy and autistic.
I am gratified that my idol's career has taken off. There are so many actresses in the entertainment industry. Some have married into wealthy families and some have become internationally famous. However, Hu Jing is the only one who can become an executive of a group worth hundreds of billions.
Regardless of whether there is any inside story, the fans are very proud anyway.
No matter how popular other actresses are, they are not allowed to live with our CEO Hu.
However, what is autistic is that Hu Jing focuses on company management and acting less and less. Fans like them can only quench their thirst with some old works and scattered small materials.
The media was also very excited, especially wanting to confirm whether the pregnancy rumors were true, but Hu Jing was also a Tai Chi promoter.
"I took a year off mainly for health reasons. As for the news circulating outside, I have seen it. As for whether it is true or not, you can ask the people who write the news. I think what they say is correct.
As for what I say, you may not believe it, so it doesn’t matter whether I say it or not, and I don’t want to talk too much about my personal affairs.”
Balabala said a lot of words, which seemed to be a response, but also seemed not to respond.
It can be understood that Hu Jing criticized the media for talking nonsense, or it can be understood that Hu Jing silently acquiesced. Anyway, she didn't give the right words, so she had excuses no matter what.
Hu Jing is deeply impressed by Boss Cao's real biography, so she is somewhat of a rogue.
If it were any other celebrity, the media might ask some provocative questions that would poke their lungs in an attempt to provoke and attack the celebrity. But the key is that when it comes to Hu Jing, the media really don't dare to push hard.
There are even many media outlets here, and the boss behind them is Cao Xuan or is funded by Cao Xuan.
If you really are not afraid of death, there is no need for Hu Jing to refute, and other galactic media will have to attack him in groups. Therefore, the best way to deal with "gangsters" is to recruit a group of "gangsters" under you to fight fire with fire.
Under the mutual restraint of the media, Hu Jing passed the test leisurely and entered the venue.
The organizer Su Liubai came up with a bright smile: "Mr. Hu, we are really grateful that you can come to support us."
"You're welcome, just do your best for charity."
Hu Jing had no intention of getting close to him, so she laughed and sat down in her seat.
Well, near position C in the first row.
In addition to several organizers and business tycoons, there are also big names in the entertainment industry such as Cheng Long, International Zhang, Zhou Gongzi, Shuang Bing and others.
For Hu Jing, this position is like falling into a den of acquaintances, chatting with Cheng Long for a few words, and then acting like best friends reunited with Jiji Zhang, Mr. Zhou, Shuang Bing and others.
In fact, putting aside the international chapter, Hu Jing has a really good relationship with the others. They are not just plastic sisters, and their conversations are quite affectionate.
"Why are you willing to give it up?"
Mr. Zhou asked out of curiosity. Unlike Zeng Li's secret production, Hu Jing's goal was too big. Everyone basically knew it, and everyone with a slightly better relationship knew the situation.
If we say that in the past, there were still many people who were dissatisfied with Hu Jing and thought that one day she would sleep with Lao Cao and replace her.
But now that Hu Jing has given birth to children, she is still Cao Xuan's "only" son. Mother is more valuable than son, so the prestige and status of the Empress of the East Palace are becoming more and more stable, and everyone is becoming more and more polite to her.
"I'm bored at home."
Hu Jing glanced at the venue and said half-seriously, "Come out for some fresh air. I miss my old friends at the same time."
"Indeed, I haven't seen Sister Jing for a long time, and I miss you very much."
Fan Xiaopang didn't mean what she said. Hu Jing's birth of a child actually hit her hard, making her feel that she was getting further and further away from her "dream of conquering Cao Xuan".
"Let me see my eldest nephew someday. Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you and Lizi will become mothers."
Ji Ji Zhang felt a little sad. Sometimes he envied Hu Jing and Zeng Li. Although their family structure was deformed, they lived a smooth life and had children.
She is about the same age as the two of them, and she still hasn't settled down yet, and sometimes she can still feel a bit of a gap.
Although Guizhou Zhang can be regarded as a career actress, in comparison, she still values her family more.
After marrying Wang Toutiao, she was considered to be devoted to her husband and raising her children. Most of the time, she focused on her husband and children. She was considered virtuous among actresses with strong careers.
"If you want to be envious, work hard. I saw on the news that you and Xiao Sa are together?"
Hu Jing couldn't help but gossip. Ever since Jiujiang Zhang broke up with her fiancé, a wealthy foreigner, she had been idle for a while, until this year she was rumored to be with CCTV host Xiao Sa.
However, this news has not been confirmed, and Hu Jing does not know whether it is true or not, so she can only seek confirmation from the person involved.
"The relationship has not been confirmed yet."
Ji Ji Zhang hesitated for a moment and then relaxed. At this moment, the people next to him, Mr. Zhou, all had gossipy eyes and asked questions around him.
But the International Chapter didn't say much. He just said a few perfunctory words and then kept silent.
Although she and Hu Jing were not particularly close, she still believed in her old classmate's character and did not think that the other party would talk nonsense about her privacy.
But it's hard to say about the others. They are both big flowers and they are direct competitors. There is no guarantee that they will meet someone with evil intentions and stab her in the back.
This is considered normal in the industry. Only people like Hu Jing who have some support will not be afraid of this. Others will be more or less guarded against it, let alone directly leak it to opponents with direct conflicts of interest.
Seeing several people secretly competing in secret, Hu Jing acted like a blind person and went to talk to Damimi by herself.
Today's charity gala was attended by both Da Mimi and Liu Tianxian. The two competed for beauty on the red carpet and even stole the limelight from several celebrities.
There is no way, who made these two have gimmicks? They are all plastic sisters, exaggerating each other in business, and there is no explosive point.
If two soldiers go to war, or if Mr. Zhou and Jiji Zhang start a fight, they might be able to compete with Xian Mi.
Seeing Hu Jing and Da Mimi talking and laughing not far away, Li Bingbing said something quietly.
"Kids nowadays are so popular. They have more followers on Weibo than us."
"Ahem, that's you, I'm the queen of Weibo."
Fan Xiaopang glanced at Li Bingbing and inserted the knife accurately. Mr. Zhou next to him smiled: "There are talents in every generation, and each age has its own way of playing."
International Zhang glanced at Damimi and Liu Tianxian with disdain: "Two girls are making movies."
Obviously, faced with the impact of the new generation of top female stars, several celebrities have different reactions.
Fan Xiaopang is the most popular at the moment, has the strongest ability to make money in business, and is also the youngest among the big flowers. He can steadily suppress the two Xianmi, so naturally there is no need to talk about being nervous.
International Zhang and Zhou Gongzi have good qualifications, and the former has successfully entered the international market and looks at people with a high profile. The latter is not ambitious and does not care whether he is surpassed or not. He is calm and calm.
Only Li Bingbing is at the bottom among several people in terms of performance, popularity, and prospects. He is even on the verge of being overtaken by Xianmi. He is also older, and he is also the least calm in the face of powerful juniors.
But no matter what kind of reaction, several big flowers must admit that the rise of fairy honey is unstoppable and has gradually begun to parallel them.
Maybe after a few years, they become obsolete and the leading female stars in the entertainment industry become them.
Just like many years ago, they slowly caught up with Gong Li, Liu Xiaoli, Xu Fan and other Hong Kong actresses...
The big flowers had mixed feelings, and on the other side, Hu Jing also met Zhang Lan and Big S.
They are now influential figures in the entertainment industry. Their wedding stirred up countless people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. There were countless posts on Tianya and Weibo. When taking stock of the influential figures in entertainment at the end of the year, their family is definitely indispensable.
And they came to see Hu Jing specifically to express their gratitude.
Because for the sake of face, Zhang Lan boasted that her son's wedding banquet was sponsored by Mr. Wanda. It was just to show off. Mr. Wang has been among the top ten richest people in the past two years, and together they have a reputation.
This aroused strong dissatisfaction with Mr. Wang, who felt that she was just taking advantage of the popularity and posted several Weibo posts to criticize people, which made Zhang Lan particularly embarrassed.
After all, Big S’s husband is also one of the four young masters. How could he see his own mother being humiliated and directly attack Mr. Wang on Weibo?
Young Master Wang didn't tolerate him either. He threw off all his old ways and gave him a scolding.
The two parties exchanged insults, attracting countless onlookers. Seeing that he was about to become a laughing stock, Zhang Lan had no choice but to approach his shareholder Cao Xuan with a heavy gift to plead for mercy.
Cao Xuan originally didn't want to get involved, but he couldn't stand Zhang Lan's misfortune and thought that turning back the shares of South Beauty might cause him to suffer losses. He felt soft and helped.
Strictly speaking, Cao Xuan didn't do anything. He just called Lao Wang and got Zhang Lan off the line.
Lao Wang was much better at doing things than his son, and he didn't want his son to keep tearing him apart on the Internet, so he gave Cao Xuan some face and asked Young Master Wang to calm down.
After this incident, Zhang Lan wanted to take this opportunity to hug Cao Xuan's lap, but Cao Xuan paid little attention to her and even declined their visit to express thanks.
So much so that when Zhang Lan saw Hu Jing today, she immediately found an excuse to get close to her, hoping to take the wife's diplomatic route.
It's a pity that Hu Jing is also a member of the people who eat melons. Although she can't be said to be annoying, she doesn't have a good impression of them. She just makes a few perfunctory polite words and makes friends.
Zhang Lan was very embarrassed and hated Young Master Wang to death.
To be honest, after a scolding war, their family has gone from being a well-known "rich family" in the entertainment industry to becoming a clown. No serious company or big boss wants to have too much involvement with them.
The few business contacts she had worked so hard to accumulate were now half gone, but she was quite successful in the entertainment industry, and the charity Harper's Bazaar did not forget to invite them every night.
