Chapter 216 – Alarming A Great God

When the rescue Meng Meng charity crowdfunding project was launched, Lu Chen was in Muchen Crowdfunding Company.

Under the control of Li Mushi, within just one month since the establishment of this new company, the number of employees has expanded to more than 100, and the number of crowdfunding projects on the crowdfunding website has soared from the initial one to dozens, showing vigorous progress and vitality.

But the protagonist of the crowdfunding tonight was undoubtedly the charity project proposed by Lu Chen.

Muchen Crowdfunding Company has given strong support.

The effect of the crowdfunding has surpassed everyone’s expectation. Seeing that the amount of support funds was steadily rising, the employees who stayed behind in the company to work overnight at night were dumbfounded, and several technicians were even more busy and sweating.

The increase in data traffic was too fast for the server to handle.

The number of registered members of the crowdfunding website has reached a surprising level.

As the initiator, Lu Chen was first surprised, then moved.

He had to contact Li Mushi and asked the CEO of the crowdfunding website to come back to the company as soon as possible.1

It was getting a little too big!

Li Mushi was socializing outside at this time. She came back decisively to preside over the overall situation after receiving the news.

It was a situation she had not foreseen.

But this outstanding Wharton School of Business graduate knew very well how this has a role in promoting Muchen Crowdfunding, and that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Therefore, Li Mushi made a request to Lu Chen to keep this momentum going.

There was no problem in completing the rescue Meng Meng charity crowdfunding. It was just after the project funds reach the goal, everyone’s enthusiasm for support would inevitably decline greatly, which was what Li Mushi didn’t want to see.

She hoped that if it could continue for a few more days, the influence of the crowdfunding website would inevitably spread to more places and be known and understood by more people. It was equivalent to making a first-class advertisement.

In a purely business perspective, Lu Chen could fully understand why Li Mushi has such an idea.

If it were him, he might have done the same.

So, Lu Chen proposed to expand the scope of the fundraising assistance. Not only would it help Meng Meng, but it could also benefit more leukemia patients, such as Xiao Chengcheng, who was in the same ward with Meng Meng.

He knew very well that the crowdfunding website was not a real charity, and that the first-time effect of such a charitable crowdfunding campaign was undoubtedly the best. It would be a pity if it ended prematurely.

Lu Chen thought of Xiao Chengcheng and the other leukemia patients in need of help at the First People’s Hospital of Ningwan City, so he called Chen Fei’er.

The cellphone soon got through, and it was Chen Fei’er who answered the phone: “Lu Chen, what’s the matter?”

Hearing the familiar voice on the phone, Lu Chen couldn’t help smiling and said, “Sister Fei, thank you!”

He thanked Chen Fei’er for her support. The latter’s reposting undoubtedly expanded the publicity effect. In contrast, the 50,000 yuan was a trivial matter.

Chen Fei’er said with a chuckle: “It’s nothing. That’s right. Tian Tian called me yesterday and told me that you didn’t give her a chance to thank you. You didn’t even stay for a meal. You went to visit the sick little girl, right?”

Her voice was as soft and melodious as ever, gently tugging at Lu Chen’s heartstrings.

Lu Chen said in a low voice, “Yes, Sister Fei. I have one more thing I want to ask you for help.”

Chen Fei’er asked curiously, “What is it?”

Lu Chen replied, “I’d like you to sing a song for me tonight!”

Lu Chen has thought about it. if he wanted to expand this project, there must be a hot spot2in publicity, which can attract more people’s attention and support.

Asking Chen Fei’er to sing a song of gratitude to his supporters was the best way he has come up with.

Of course, he was also borrowing Chen Fei’er’s popularity.

If it was another big star, who he didn’t have any friendship with, it was undoubtedly very presumptuous to make such a request.

But Lu Chen and Chen Fei’er...

He believed that this Elder Sister Heavenly Queen would definitely support him!

Sure enough, Chen Fei’er was interested: “What song?”

So, Lu Chen sent the “Dedication of Love” that he had just written through QQ.

The two communicated via video through QQ. Lu Chen returned to his studio, made a sound recording using the piano that he purchased not long ago, and then combined Chen Fei’er’s singing together.

This was a completely amateur approach. It was like two bored friends playing and singing, and using microphone to record and synthesize for fun. It just saved the trouble of professional recording. The final product would undoubtedly be very rough.

However, Chen Fei’er felt it was very interesting. Moreover, she was also surprised by Lu Chen’s work.

The lyrics of “Dedication of Love” were simple and easy to understand, the melody was gentle and warm, but the theme was very lofty, even with a strong theme style.

It was perfect for this charity crowdfunding campaign!

What deeply impressed Chen Fei’er was Liu Chen’s talent in music creation. This song was obviously not a work that has been written before, but this temporary idea has created a possible classic, which really made people speechless.

After practicing singing a few times, Elder Sister Heavenly Queen even had a desire to run to Lu Chen and open his head to see how different his brain structure was from that of ordinary people.

Under the full cooperation of the two, this song “Dedication of Love” was rushed out.

Lu Chen first posted it on his blog, and then Chen Fei’er followed suit with a new blog post.

In this blog post, Chen Fei’er talked about the creation process of “Dedication of Love” and the process of cooperation between her and Lu Chen. She hoped that with the help of this work, more people would pay attention to and care about patients with leukemia, and provide as much support to those patients who need help.

Two people in tandem, plus a song, immediately became the new highlight of the blog post!

Although it was past midnight, there was still thousands of people who reposted Lu Chen and Chen Fei’er’s blog posts, which made the influence of “Dedication of Love” continue to expand, and further promoted the number of supports for the charity crowdfunding project.

At 7 o’clock the next night, the rescue Meng Meng (leukemia patients) charity crowdfunding project went online for 24 hours, and the number of supports exceeded 3 million!

On the same day, the supervision representative sent by Muchen Crowdfunding Company arrived at the First People’s Hospital of Ningwan City, and quickly identified the second recipient of the assistance.

And that was Xiao Chengcheng, who was in the same ward with Meng Meng!

After receiving the news, the TV station in Ningwan sent a reporter to conduct an on-the-spot interview.

Day three, day four, day five...

On October 25, the sixth day of the charity crowdfunding project, Lu Chen Studio received an interview request from China Youth Daily for Lu Chen himself.

China Youth Daily was founded in 1950 and has a history of 65 years. It is a central-level newspaper under the direct management of the central government. It takes “promoting social progress and serving the growth of youth” as its own duty and serves the youth from generation to generation.

It was precisely because of its prominent status that China Youth Daily has always been among the top three in reading rate and popularity of national daily newspapers, and has a great influence in the country.

It was undoubtedly an honor to be interviewed by China Youth Daily. Without typical deeds or publicity points, it was impossible to get such an opportunity.

Lu Chen attached great importance to this, and even felt a little nervous.

In fact, the interview process was not as serious as Lu Chen imagined. The two reporters sent by China Youth Daily were not very old3, and had a good understanding of him.

The reporters’ interview was completed in a very harmonious atmosphere. There were three main reasons why Lu Chen attracted the attention of this central newspaper.

The first was Lu Chen’s talent in music creation. The reporters’ focus was not his first album “You Who Sat Next To Me”, but the already well-known “I Love You, China”.

Since Lu Chen sang the song at the National Day Party of Beijing Satellite TV, it has quickly spread all over the country. It has been covered by many theme song singers and appeared in many non-commercial evening programs. It could be said that it has become a hit.

China Youth Daily asked Lu Chen about his creative motivation and inspiration.

The second was the acid-throwing incident in which Lu Chen bravely saved Tian Tian, and the last was the charity crowdfunding project.

Although this was his first time to be interviewed by such a large state media, Lu Chen, who has three lifetimes of memories, quickly adapted to it and cooperated with the reporter to complete the interview.

His maturity and experience impressed the two reporters from China Youth Daily.

On October 27, the China Youth Daily published an interview article on Lu Chen with the title “New Era New Youth” in the fourth page position.

This article first briefly introduced Lu Chen’s identity, and then focused on Lu Chen’s deeds, praising him as a new youth representative in the new era and a model of newcomers in the entertainment industry.

The article wrote that in today’s entertainment industry, scandals about star artists were emerging one after another, and their image in the eyes of the public was declining, and it was necessary for such talented, knowledgeable and moral newcomers like Lu Chen to provide positive energy!

This central newspaper undoubtedly has a high evaluation of Lu Chen, which was equivalent to brushing him a layer of gold.4

Although an article of only a few hundred words couldn’t bring direct economic benefits to Lu Chen, nor would it help Lu Chen to increase his number of fans, and has a limited impact on Lu Chen’s position in the circle.

However, this article represented the mainstream official recognition of Lu Chen. Its publicity effect couldn’t be bought at any price, and to a large extent affected the future development of Lu Chen in more aspects.

As the saying goes, a watched flower never blooms, but an untended willow grows. This was something that Lu Chen didn’t foresee when he was determined to help Meng Meng.

What Lu Chen didn’t expect was that after the interview with China Youth Daily, another “great god” was alarmed.

A representative was sent to contact and discuss with him.

This “great god” was the Yanhuang Charity Association!
