The cover report of New Economic Weekly has had a great impact on Lu Chen, giving him the title of "business genius" in addition to "musical genius".
Some people even think that he shouldn't be in the entertainment industry. If he enters the business world, then he is likely to be among the Forbes list of young billionaires in China – provided, of course, that the crowdfunding website is successfully listed on NASDAQ.
For such remarks, Lu Chen just smiled.
Although the crowdfunding website was his business idea, it was Li Mushi who really made the crowdfunding website bigger and stronger and went abroad. Without the power and background of the Li family, relying on his own strength alone, he would at most be able to get the name of the founder of the crowdfunding model. How could he become a billionaire?
Apart from anything else, without the help of the Li family, the commercial creative copyright of the crowdfunding website could not have been approved.
Therefore, not only did Lu Chen not have any regrets about transferring most of the shares of the crowdfunding website to the Li family, but he was very glad that he made a decisive choice at the beginning.
Once the crowdfunding website is listed on NASDAQ, he will be able to enjoy the amazing benefits of 10% of the original shares.
His net worth can at least be multiplied several times – what else is there to be dissatisfied with?
On the Internet and in the entertainment industry, the discussion about Lu Chen's wealth is also very heated. Everyone thinks that Lu Chen will definitely be on the Forbes list of rich stars in China this year.
The Forbes list of rich stars in China is published every December and is divided into several lists. Last year, Chen Fei 'er ranked second on the list of rich stars with an annual income of 57 million yuan, ranking first among all female stars.
At that time, Lu Chen was not included in the list, but this year, his name will definitely be on it. Everyone is certain. The only thing that is uncertain is where he will rank.
Most of the discussions about Lu Chen's net worth on the Internet are positive, and there are very few comments about "hatred of the rich". Even if there are, they are often sprayed with dog blood.
Because since Lu Chen's debut, he has earned every penny fair and square. He has not sold dog-skin plaster, he has not deceived fans, and even the most profitable advertisements are rarely accepted. He only cooperates with reputable big brands and pays taxes according to the regulations. There is no illegal behavior.
Most importantly, while Lu Chen was making money, he was also doing charity seriously. The charity fund he and Chen Fei'er jointly established had an excellent reputation, and it really helped many leukemia patients. (TN: Part 2)
Many stars engage in charity and donate hundreds of thousands of yuan, but they can't wait to send the news to all the media. Moreover, there have been repeated scandals of donation fraud, and even those so-called charity funds to deceive the public.
Although Chen Fei Charity Fund is also a public fund, it has never solicited donations from ordinary people and fans. All the money comes from donations from the two and their friends in the circle, and the accounts are truly open and transparent.
In the field of charity in the country, Chen Fei Charity Fund is very low-key, but it has a good reputation that others can't reach, which has also brought Lu Chen a very high reputation.
Most people "hate the rich", and they hate the heartless rich. Lu Chen's money came from a clear source, and he has never done anything superficial like flaunting his wealth, so he naturally won the sincere appreciation and love of his fans.
Therefore, when the New Economic Weekly exposed Lu Chen's business deeds, there were some who were curious, some who were envious, and some who were in awe, but there was not much jealousy or hatred.
On the contrary, before the first episode of China's Voice was officially broadcasted, a moderately controversial news broke out.
On the 17th of May, a Waves blogger certified as a "vagrant singer", [Singer Roxanne], posted a blog post on her blog, saying that she had encountered unfair treatment during the audition for China's Voice.
The singer named Roxanne did not have much fame, and according to her resume on her blog, she had just returned from overseas, and was currently an independent singer and freelance singer in Beijing. She had participated in the audition in Beijing.
The so-called unfair treatment she encountered was that she sang a famous English song during the audition. Then, after singing a few lines, she was asked by the audition judge to sing a Chinese song again.
Roxanne was very angry about this, as she had prepared for a long time for the song, and believed that her singing skills were not inferior to the original singer. In the end, she did not expect the audition judges to think that she did not meet the rules, and even had a sarcastic tone in their comments.
Roxanne refused to change the song, and was mercilessly eliminated, which made her very angry. After participating in the audition, she was depressed for a few days, and only managed to recover a little today.
She could not understand it. There had never been a talent show, especially a singing reality show, that rejected English songs. Could it be that the audition judges did not understand English, so they directly passed it?
[Singer Roxanne] had very few fans on her blog, less than 100,000, and most of them were zombie fans, as the number of clicks and comments on her daily blog posts was pitifully low.
However, this blog post received a lot of attention, and the number of forwards exceeded 5,000 on the same day, so it attracted the attention of many people.
Although it had little to do with Lu Chen, many of Lu Chen's fans went to Roxanne's blog to mock her after seeing the forwarded blog post, thinking that she was trying to create hype. She was clearly not good enough, but she still wanted to gain popularity. She was simply shameless.
There were all kinds of people on the Internet, and some people's tone was sharp and even mean. As a result, Roxanne flew into a rage out of humiliation, arguing with the people who mocked her on her blog, and even scolded Lu Chen.
This infuriated even more Lu Chen fans, so the blog comment section of [Singer Roxanne] was flooded with all kinds of sarcasm.
Roxanne was not one to be trifled with. The more she was scolded, the more excited she became. She kept posting to accuse the so-called fake reviewers and mobs, thinking that she was being suppressed as a talented and capable newcomer.
Because of this, the matter was blown out of proportion, and even Lu Chen found out about it. However, Lu Chen did not respond, but the official blog of China's Voice gave a clear explanation.
The audition of China's Voice had many clear requirements for the contestants. One of them was that the singers could only sing Mandarin songs, including Cantonese and other dialects. It was not only for the audition, but also for the rest of the competition.
As this was the Voice of China, Chinese people naturally had to sing Chinese songs. Performing English songs that the majority of the audience could not understand or appreciate on stage was not in line with the program's principles.
This rule was printed out in black and white for all the singers to see. It was normal for Roxanne to be eliminated for violating the rules, and there was no issue of unfair treatment.
