The so-called charity auction is nothing more than a collective effort to raise funds.
Some people put items up for auction, and some people buy them with money.
This makes it easy to raise money.
There is actually a reason why donations are not made directly by bidding a price.
First of all, the things put up for auction are definitely not your most precious things that you don’t want to sell.
Athletes rarely sell their championship trophies unless they are desperate, and antique collectors rarely sell their favorite antiques.
But it’s different for buyers.
As the saying goes, money can’t buy my willingness, and money can’t buy my happiness.
The market value of some things is actually only 10 million, but if someone likes it and thinks it is their favorite, it is common to pay a premium of 20 million.
This inflow and outflow can increase the total amount of donations.
As for some items that not many people like and no one is bidding on, it is also a good thing to buy what you want directly here without any premium.
Of course, there is a little difference between the Barra Charity Dinner and ordinary charity dinners.
At an ordinary charity dinner, it is already very good if one tenth of the people contribute money to buy something.
But the Barra Charity Dinner is an event for the entertainment industry and Vanity Fair.
Almost more than 50% of the stars will donate money.
Many times auctioning items is not enough.
So, in addition to the auction, there is also a second donation event.
Those who have not put up items for auction or have not made a bid can fill out a form to make a donation.
Simply put, the prices for things that are up for bid are extremely high.
Those who don’t want to spend so much money will just pay in cash.
After Han Zhou sat down, the celebrity next to him greeted him: "Teacher Han, are you going to take some photos or donate directly?"
Han Zhou: "I won't film it, nor will I donate money."
“I took something out for auction.”
The star next to him looked a little worried.
Han Zhou turned around and asked: "Life is hard?"
The female star, who is a veteran first-line star but is on the verge of outdated status, nodded a little awkwardly.
Being a star, the expenses are very high.
Everything has to be done in a grand manner because others will compare with you.
On the set, if the second female lead is sitting in a million-dollar nanny car and resting in it, while your first female lead is resting in the shed, and other people see it and make some casual comments, you, the first female lead, won't be able to stand it.
Others who attend such events are covered in jewelry worth five million and clothes worth one million.
You have jewelry worth one million and clothes worth two hundred thousand.
Can you be confident?
Besides, clothes are something you either rent or buy and wear once, and never wear again.
Not to mention first-tier cities, even in second-tier cities, how many people would rent one?
Although you can also not follow the rules of this circle, it means that others will not treat you as a member of the circle.
For example, the martial arts star Actor Wu in his previous life only wore one suit all his life. In the eyes of other stars, he was an outlier.
Before Wolf Warrior 2, and even when he was filming Wolf Warrior 2, he could basically be said to be outside the circle.
Han Zhou is now beyond the circle, and his every word and action is the object of others' pursuit, so Han Zhou doesn't care, but others don't care.
The guy next to him looks like a veteran first-tier star, but in fact his ability to make money has become problematic.
But if she behaves too shabby, her rank will drop and she will have no ability to make money in the future.
Either make huge investments to maintain your position.
Or fall down.
You have to know that if you maintain your status and become popular again, you will become extremely popular.
If you fail to maintain your status, any comeback in the future will only be a fleeting second spring.
So we are all gritting our teeth and holding on.
Han Zhou: "If you don't have much money, donate less."
The female star complained: "If I donate too little, netizens will criticize me..."
Han Zhou: "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. If you can bear it, then bear it. If you can't bear it, then consider your way out."
“Don’t waste your pension.”
The female star hesitated for a moment and asked, "Teacher Han, do you think that our Chinese entertainment industry will eventually reach the top of the world and become the norm in global entertainment?"
Han Zhou: "Right now, there are not enough netizens and Chinese learners around the world."
“But ten years later, it’s hard to say.”
As China's economy grows stronger, it is normal for more and more foreigners to learn Chinese.
In ten or twenty years, the huge gap between the current Chinese culture and the world audience will become just a thin layer of window paper.
"ten years……"
How many decades are there in a lifetime?
But she has been in this circle all her life. Ten years later, when she is nearly fifty years old, can she still give it a try?
"Thank you, Mr. Han. You have made a huge contribution to our Huaguo Entertainment. We can also benefit from it."
Han Zhou smiled and said nothing more.
The auction has begun.
One item after another was put on the table for auction.
The prices are also getting higher and higher.
What Han Zhou didn't expect was that Zhao Ziyu was willing to spend money this time and directly took out a jewel necklace for auction.
The price is around five million.
The auction price eventually reached tens of millions.
This is the first time that the score has exceeded 1,000.
Han Zhou knew who bought it.
That person is Wu Li’s old friend. Han Zhou has had dinner with him twice.
It is obvious that Wu Li spent money to buy the necklace and would give it to Zhao Ziyu.
It was equivalent to Wu Li anonymously helping Zhao Ziyu complete the donation of 10 million.
But there is a reason for this.
Zhao Ziyu had previously filmed "Farewell My Concubine" with Han Zhou, and her pay was not high, far less than that of Yang Yun who later filmed "Jurassic Park".
After her filming of Farewell My Concubine, her salary went up again, but it's only been half a year and she hasn't had time to cash in yet, as she doesn't have much money.
Wu Li is different.
Wu Li is a guy who doesn't spend much money. He usually likes to eat for free, doesn't like to buy clothes, and doesn't like to show off.
The main point is, if you like it, you like it, if you don’t like it, just ignore it.
Now, driven by Han Zhou, the entertainment industry has ushered in a new wave of craze for kung fu movies and TV series.
And there are only a few who can compete in the entertainment industry.
Wu Li is now in a situation where he just sits there doing nothing and people come to him to send money.
So it’s normal to spend this money.
Then the owner of a film and television company in the northwest took out a piece of old Hetian jade.
Such a big lump is really rare.
Chen Feng spent 13 million to buy it.
Chen Feng probably really likes it and doesn't want to spend so much money on charity.
Of course, there is definitely a premium, and the premium part is his contribution to charity.
The host on the stage was smiling so hard that his face wrinkled, which made Han Zhou feel even more that the donations from this charity dinner might not be put to good use.
The Barra charity dinner is a big mess.
However, it is actually very simple to eliminate this trouble in the future.
Han Zhou can solve the problem of the Bala Charity Dinner by organizing a charity dinner of his own.
But it's too late this year.
The host smiled and said, "Next, it's the finale, which is also the second to last item!"
Everyone perked up.
Since it is the finale item, the price should be very high.
Once the thing was lifted up, anyone with enough knowledge could see that it was an easel.
It is covered with a red cloth and there should be a painting underneath.
The host smiled and said, "The next thing we're going to shoot is an oil painting, an oil painting by a modern painter."
Everyone was wondering whether it was Andrew's painting or Li Chunzhi's painting.
The host shouted: "It was carefully painted by Mr. Lu Yun, the president of Ali, specifically for this charity auction. It's Taoyuan!"
Han Zhou rolled his eyes after hearing this.
Everyone is also curious about what Taoyuan looks like.
When the red cloth was pulled aside, an oil painting of the Earth and the stars was revealed underneath.
Han Zhou could only say, pretending to be cool.
The host said loudly: "The starting price is one yuan. Are you interested?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone raised a sign. The host was not a professional and could not remain calm. He lowered his head and glanced at the electronic quotation board: "021 bids 10 million!"
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
Ten million?
Lu Yun’s paintings?
Can you please not lick ass too obviously?
Yet bidders are still bidding.
Fifteen million.
Twenty million.
Twenty-three million.
Twenty-five million.
Calling out prices again and again.
The host shouted: "30 million! No. 004 bids 30 million!!!"
Han Zhou turned his head and took a look at the president of Jianheng Group.
"Thirty million for the third time! Deal!"
"Thank you, VIP No. 004, Mr. Zhao Chun, for your support for charity!"
"Thank you also to Mr. Lu Yun for your support for charity !!!"
The host on the stage looked at the list and said, "Next, it's the last item of this auction."
"This item comes from the current entertainment industry's top star, Mr. Han Zhou."
Everyone looked at Han Zhou.
In fact, this setting is very simple. If Han Zhou's things are placed after Lu Yun's, and the price is lower than this price, it will be a kind of suppression.
If the price is higher than this, the charity dinner will make a huge profit.
Don't forget, this charity dinner originally belonged to the Ahri family, and Lu Yun's item was just a resale from their own family.
The host continued: "That is the master copy of Mr. Han Zhou's first album "Times", the master disc!!!"
"Mr. Han Zhou is the most famous superstar in China and even in the world. His first album, Time, has sold 41 million copies worldwide so far."
"It is expected that this year we may even break the world record of 60 million sales of a single album by the late pop king Michael!"
"And the leather jacket that the King of Pop Michael once wore in a concert was auctioned for as much as three million US dollars."
"The collection value of this master disc is self-evident!"
"Everyone, if you are interested in this master disc, please make an offer!"
As soon as the words fell.
A sign was held up.
The host was stunned when he saw the electronic quotation board: "No. 008, Ms. Wang, President of Tianle Group, bids 30 million!"
Han Zhou looked to the other side of the venue.
It’s not very far, just a dozen meters.
Wang Xiya smiled and didn't care.
Thirty million is a huge loss for an ordinary industrial group to buy something that has only collection value but no actual use value.
But in this world of fame and fortune, for an entertainment company, it is nothing more than spending 30 million to hype itself up and run an advertisement.
However, before the host had time to ask, someone raised a sign.
When the host saw it, he was stunned for a moment and looked over.
"No. 002, Mr. Lu Xiusheng, the president of Penguin Group, offers 50 million!!!"
Not far away, Liu Jianxi and An Shengnan were sitting together.
An Shengnan: "Hold up a sign to join in the fun."
Liu Jianxi: "Join in the fun? I really want to buy it and put it in the company so that new singers can see what the standard is."
An Shengnan: "Don't even think about it. Will Lu Xiusheng come here in person if the price is 300 million lower?"
Liu Jianxi: “…”
Liu Jianxi could understand spending tens of millions to buy the master disc, but he had no idea about spending three hundred million.
An Shengnan saw it very clearly.
This matter is actually hype.
Lu Xiusheng is supporting Han Zhou, but in fact he is hyping Han Zhou.
Filling the gap between Han Zhou and pop king Michael one by one.
Even beyond.
The major entertainment companies, led by Hanzhou, need a big banner when they enter the global market.
The brighter the flag, the better.
Even though Lu Xiusheng will have to pay 300 million yuan, this incident will make Penguin Interactive Entertainment earn more than 1 billion yuan.
However, Han Zhou did not discuss this matter with Tianle and Universal China, which means that there are some tricks involved in this matter, tricks outside the entertainment industry.
Wang Xiya took a look and raised the sign again.
"Eighty million! The price has reached eighty million!!!"
Lu Xiusheng raised the sign again: "One hundred million."
This time, the low-key Lu Xiusheng spoke.
Who among all the people present doesn’t know Lu Xiusheng?
Everyone finds it very weird.
Lu Xiusheng actually dared to speak out?
Lv Xiusheng smiled and said: "This master disc is very meaningful to Penguin Interactive Entertainment. I want to take it back."
Wang Xiya holds up a sign.
The host didn't have time to make an offer.
Wang Xiya spoke up: "One hundred and fifty million, I also have reasons to take this master disc."
Han Zhou wasn't too worried when he saw Wang Xiya was going to take the photo.
How much money Tianle has and how much operating funds Wang Xiya has, doesn’t Han Zhou know this?
After all, all the new projects that Tianle is currently carrying out were suggested by Han Zhou.
Lu Xiusheng: “Two hundred million.”
The price went up by 50 million with each bid, 1.666666666, Lu Yun.
Wang Xiya raised the sign again: "Two hundred and fifty million."
The tone is very flat.
Lu Xiusheng: “Three hundred million.”
Three hundred million, a full forty-six million US dollars!!!
This has long been the highest price ever paid for an item belonging to an entertainment industry superstar at an auction.
It has even entered the top 30 non-real estate auction items in the world.
Even in domestic antique auctions, this price is second highest!
There is only one piece of blue and white porcelain from the Wei Dynasty 900 years ago that costs slightly more than 10 million RMB.
Wang Xiya sighed: "I would like to follow this price, but I have no money left. Congratulations, Mr. Lu."
Lu Xiusheng smiled and said, "There will be a next time. When Han Zhou releases his second album, I won't compete with you for it."
The host was also dumbfounded.
He is just an amateur, he is not even an auctioneer.
He never expected that he would hold a record-breaking item in his hands. He was stunned for a moment before knocking the hammer: "Anyone else want to bid?"
"Three hundred million for the second time."
"Three hundred million... for the third time!"
“Thank you Mr. Lyu Xiusheng, President of Penguin Group, for your support for charity!”
"Thank you Mr. Han Zhou for your support for charity!"
"grateful!"
Han Zhou waved towards the stage, signaling the host to come over.
The host walked off the stage in bewilderment.
Han Zhou raised his hand for the microphone.
The host handed over the microphone.
Han Zhou took the microphone and said, "I didn't expect this auction price. In order to prevent Mr. Lu from suffering a loss, I decided to grant Mr. Lu the three-year commercial rights of Time."
Lu Xiusheng smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
Many people were discussing it at the scene.
The price is amazing.
An ordinary star cannot save so much money in his lifetime. Han Zhou took out an item for auction and it was priced at this price.
The gap between everyone's ranks is too big!
But Lu Yun's face didn't look very good at this time.
This auction was originally a show and a setup.
Now Han Zhou and Lu Xiusheng are treating this as a marketing campaign.
Lu Xiusheng could imagine that the world's mainstream entertainment media would report this incident tomorrow.
Even, it will become a hot search on Weibo immediately.
This incident will immediately dispel the doubts in every corner of the Internet about Han Zhou's lack of donations and philanthropy.
As soon as you mention charity, people will say, 'They just took out the master copy of the album, it cost 300 million!'
The so-called quarrel among the water army does not depend on who is right, but on whether there is any material to use for the quarrel.
This time Han Zhou laid out the information.
With the navy of the New World, doesn’t Lu Yun know the outcome?
How many trolls does Ali's browser have? How many times has it fought against New World's trolls in recent years? Has it ever won?
Moreover, this incident also disrupted Lu Yun's other plan.
This plan can only be carried out halfway now.
Lu Yun's face was gloomy, and he felt that this plan was definitely a failure.
But still have to try.
But he didn't know that his plan would fail.
Because Han Zhou is not him, Han Zhou has a conscience.
…
The Bara Charity Dinner dominated the trending searches on Weibo for three days.
First, the most explosive news.
#Han Zhou's "Times" master disc auction for 300 million! #
This price set a world record. No celebrity's work has ever reached this price.
This is not only a hot search on Weibo, but also a hot search on the international version of Yinlang and Twitter.
It caused a huge sensation around the world.
