Chapter 949 Charity Night (2)
"Just kidding, I can't even afford this little money." Wen Xia said to Luo Quan with a smile.
When attending a charity gala, you can certainly donate money, but in fact the amount donated is usually not particularly large. One or two million is enough, and few people will donate more than five million.
For Wen Xia, one or two million is nothing. Spending money to buy fame is quite cost-effective.
As for Luo Quan, how much she donates this time depends on the specific situation.
Although she is passionate about charity, she has always been distrustful of other people's charity projects.
For example, a while ago there was a celebrity charity organization that was said to be completely open to the public, but when netizens wanted to see the specific whereabouts of each amount, it became very difficult.
Regardless of who it was donated to, some of the purchase bills within this organization looked quite outrageous.
Such as tens of thousands of laptops, hundreds of thousands of computer disks, video equipment, etc.
Netizens don’t know what brand these things are or why they are so expensive.
But that’s how the bill was written, and it must have been reported that way at the time.
This is only a small part of the purchase order. I believe there are many similar purchases in the list.
After spending so much money on maintaining the organization's daily expenses, how much is left to do real charity? I am afraid only the founder of the organization knows this.
From then on, Luo Quan knew that eight out of ten of those doing charity were unreliable, so she rarely participated, and every time she participated, she had an extra purpose.
Like this time, she went just for the traffic.
Of course, most celebrities are actually similar to her, but even if it comes with a donation, this behavior is worthy of praise.
After checking her mailbox, Luo Quan found an email from Harper's Bazaar editor-in-chief Shu Mang, inviting her to participate in the Harper's Bazaar Charity Night to be held at Shanghai tomorrow night.
"Sister, I got an invitation too." Leon heard the discussion between Luo Quan and Wenxia, and looked at the mailbox himself, but he didn't expect it to be there.
Many people know that he has lived in China for almost a year. During this period, he has appeared on variety shows twice and has more than 10 million fans.
It can be said that he is quite a popular star in China.
However, missing the Hundred Flowers Award last time made Leon think that his status was not big enough, and he could not participate in such an entertainment industry event.
Unexpectedly, only half a year later, Bazaar Charity Night offered him an olive branch. This improvement in status still made Leon quite happy.
"Is it possible that they invited you because of your sister's reputation?" Mia suddenly poured cold water on her.
"Bukuo (kuo, three sounds) can."
Leon imitated his elder sister's Trump accent and waved his right hand fiercely: "This must be because of my fame in China, after all, the two variety shows I was the main guest in this year have been huge hits, okay?"
Among the variety shows Lyon mentioned, one is Chinese rap, and the other is called hip-hop.
These are all the skills that Lyon relied on for survival in the early days. There is no problem in being a mentor.
"Hahahaha." Mia laughed again, "I don't know about hip-hop. Isn't rap in China as outrageous as Peking Opera in the United States?"
Leon immediately retorted: "I disagree with your point of view. Rap is a kind of music and can be sung in any language. Mastering the rhythm and rhyme is the key.
As for Peking Opera, accent and singing skills are the most important. If it can really become popular abroad, it is not impossible to compile an English Peking Opera.
Just like singing Italian opera in Chinese, will English Peking Opera be bad?
I saw people abroad using Peking Opera to sing "The Revenge of the Prince", and the response was quite good. "
"Okay, you are sharp-tongued, but I can't speak to you."
Mia decisively chose to admit defeat and go against Lyon's old profession. She had no chance of winning, so she planned to change her perspective:
"But I have to ask you a question, are you wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Leon looked confused.
"Are you wrong to be stubborn with me?" Mia asked with a smile.
"Is this also called a stubborn mouth?" Leon jumped up from the sofa in a hurry, spread his hands, and his eyebrows were almost piled up.
"You don't love me anymore, you've learned to yell at me." Mia stroked her belly with a sad look on her face.
But in Lyon's view, it was like holding the emperor hostage to order the princes.
After thinking for a few seconds, he squatted down and said, "I'm sorry, wife, I was wrong.
Although I don't know where I went wrong, but since you think I am wrong, then I am wrong. "
Luo Quan put his hands in his pockets beside him, shook his head and laughed: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, our little rap king who is fearless will eventually have his edges smoothed out."
Hearing this, Mia finally couldn't pretend anymore and quickly hugged Leon in her arms: "I was just joking with you, I didn't expect you to really spoil me like this.
Actually, I still prefer your unruly look. "
Leon also breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a smile: "I said you are usually quite rational, but now you suddenly become unreasonable. I thought it was because of your pregnancy that your mood changed drastically."
"No, I just often browse Weibo and Xiaohongshu." Mia shook her head gently, "I saw it said that you have to train your husbands in this way to make them obedient."
Leon said angrily: "Don't look at these things anymore. It's not even sure whether those idiots are in love or not."
"I'm just doing an experiment." Mia whispered softly, "And I also think many of those people's remarks are quite outrageous."
At this point, the two looked at each other and smiled. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, they were about to kiss.
"Ahem!"
At the critical moment, Luo Quan coughed twice, interrupting the two of them before casting the spell: "If you want to make out, go back to the room and make out. Don't spread our dog food here."
"Let's go." Leon took Mia up and went back to his room with a smile.
"What a deep love between husband and wife." Wen Xia shook his head and sighed.
"I only smell the sour smell of love." Luo Quan replied sourly.
"Are you jealous?"
"Fart, if I were jealous, I wouldn't find one by myself? Just shout online, and the people who respond will overwhelm the Bilibili server!"
This is true, after all, she can sometimes overwhelm the Penguin server when she releases new songs.
If a matrimonial advertisement is really posted, I am afraid that the server of Station B may not be able to withstand it.
Of course, these words are just joking and no one will take them seriously.
The Harper's Bazaar Charity Night will be held tomorrow night. I don't know who will be invited, but there will definitely be many celebrities.
This kind of occasion where competitions gather is related to fashion elements. Both men and women will definitely dress themselves up to be more eye-catching.
But compared with those foreign red carpet actresses, the styles of domestic actresses are too conventional. Eight out of ten of them choose evening dresses.
The few who are more unique just wear women's suits, which is routine practice abroad.
Foreign actresses can wear all kinds of fancy clothes to attract attention.
Some people made clothes from used plastic bottles directly for the sake of hugging them, and walked into the camera. Those who didn’t know thought they were ocean garbage salvaged from somewhere.
Some even string CDs together to make a skirt. The radiant look is comparable to a flashlight.
And these weird clothes are usually products from a fashion show.
In the words of the fashion circle, this kind of design that ordinary people cannot understand is called avant-garde.
Maybe it won't be popular now, but who knows that it won't be popular in many years?
It looks like garbage and ordinary people can't understand it, but that doesn't mean it really is garbage.
Every other line is like a mountain, and the beauty in these designs is difficult to explain clearly to outsiders.
However, Luo Quan used to think that these people were making up mysteries, using niche and experiment as excuses to make designs that insulted people's intelligence.
Even now, she holds the same view. Real fashion is loved by the public and has certain practicality.
Without practicality, how can it be popular? Doesn’t it become a completely self-pleasure thing?
The best example is stockings, which were worn by men when they were born and were only popular among European aristocrats.
In the words of the fashion circle, this kind of design is relatively avant-garde and niche, and can only be used by high-ranking officials. It is quite stylish.
Hundreds of years have passed, and silk stockings have flown into the homes of ordinary people, and have changed from being exclusive to men to being exclusive to women.
What's even more rare is that although most men no longer wear this thing, it is still one of the most popular clothing among men.
This is the best example of going from niche to mass.
Good things are good things and will not become bad because of changes in region or time.
This is Luo Quan's view of certain people in the fashion circle, but she doesn't belong to this circle, so she never says such words that can easily attract people's attention.
As for the Harper's Bazaar Charity Night, it's a no-brainer to dress nicely.
As for makeup and dressing up, let’s take it easy.
Although she has earrings given by Bai Xingwei to cover up her temperament, if she looks too good after makeup, it is still easy to cause problems and she should not be too indulgent.
Of course Wen Xia and the others don't have this problem anymore. They can be as beautiful as they want.
This time, a total of five of them were going to participate in the Bazaar Charity Night, a pair of Leon and Mia, plus her, Wen Xia and Su Yu.
The three of them are considered the most popular ones in the company in the country. Lin Youli is also qualified, but she is traveling and has no time to come back to participate.
After buying the tickets, everyone went to bed early to rest and prepare to take the morning flight back to Shanghai.
Although the Harper's Bazaar Charity Night was held in the evening, they certainly couldn't make their appearance in such a long time.
Finding clothes, applying makeup, and styling are all very time-consuming.
In order to avoid running out of time due to unexpected situations, everyone decided to go early.
"Brother, which brand of clothes do you plan to pass on?" Luo Quan asked Leon after getting off the plane.
They all have cooperation with Chanel, and they can borrow clothes at will. In addition, she and Wen Xia have a lot of Chanel's limited edition haute couture at home, so they don't have to worry about clothes at all.
But Leon didn't seem to have signed an endorsement deal with any brand... She remembered that Leon had endorsed ck's underwear.
"I just wear Baleno." Lyon's answer surprised Luo Quan, because this brand is unpopular in China.
In fact, in the early years, Baleno was actually quite good in China.
But since the release of a movie, sales have begun to dwindle, and now it is said to be dying.
It's quite funny to talk about it.
The director who made this movie was once funded by a superstar and received valuable start-up funds for making the movie.
In order to repay this king, the director let the clothing brand Baleno endorsed by this king appear in the movie.
But because the brand appeared in the mouth of a rustic and stupid thief, it seems that the Baleno brand is also very low.
So even if the thief once said "Baleno, brand", it could not save the sales of this brand.
This can really be described as repaying kindness with hatred.
Lyon didn’t know much about the ins and outs of this meme, but he talked about clothing brands with netizens during his live broadcast.
Everyone agrees that Baleno is the real brand.
Leon knows that everyone is joking, but he just likes this atmosphere, so he plans to do the whole thing at the Bazaar Charity Night.
As for why he doesn’t endorse luxury brands.
He said that it is because he feels that most of the girls who are fans of him are not in that good financial condition. If they see the luxury goods that he endorses and cause unnecessary excessive consumption, then he will be a failure as an idol.
So he turned down these lucrative endorsements, and his views can be said to be quite correct.
"Banniro is here." Luo Quan chuckled, but he didn't expect his younger brother to be so down-to-earth.
But considering his personality that likes to live a busy life, it is probably entirely for the effect of the show.
When the time comes for the live broadcast, fans can show off again: Look how awesome I am, wearing this on the Bazaar Charity Night.
Of course, that doesn't mean it can't be done.
In today's world, capable people who stand out independently are called unique and full of personal charm.
People who are incapable of following the public's actions will also be criticized for having no independent opinions and not knowing how to think independently.
Fortunately, Leon is one of the more capable people.
He is definitely a lot worse than his sister, but if compared with his peers, he is much better.
As a singer, he won a Grammy, and as an actor, he won an Oscar.
In the five years since his debut, he has experienced so many ups and downs.
Suddenly looking back, I realized that I was not yet twenty-two years old.
Of course, compared with a certain child star who debuted at the age of thirteen, his life is not yet full of ups and downs.
After all, that person has been in jail and has been banned by the entire network.
Relatively speaking, his life went smoothly most of the time.
So he likes to do the whole thing.
The reason is also very simple, just to make everyone happy, I will also be happy.
As for whether the host of Harper's Bazaar Charity Night will be happy, that's not known.
Anyway, now that he is a celebrity, is there any difference in what he wears?
A real emperor can wear dragon robes even if he is clothed in commoner clothes!
