Lin Xue highly praised Andy Lau's charity deeds
On this day, Lin Xue couldn't hide the joy in her heart and posted a video on her social platform. She first showed a bright smile, then folded her hands and arched to the middle of the camera, and said respectfully, "Thank you two bodhisattvas".
The camera switched, and Lin Xue began to tell the story, it turned out that the investor of a play she participated in recently was Louis Koo. Not only that, this is the third work she has collaborated with Louis Koo.
Unlike other bosses, Louis Koo's care for her employees makes her feel warm, the salary is never ambiguous, the working meals are never interrupted, and even the transportation and horse expenses are fully reimbursed.
"I'm so grateful to Gu Sir, he is a man of action!" Lin Xue couldn't help but fold her hands again, "In fact, in our industry now, the only ones who are really willing to spend money on public welfare are Gu Sir and Andy."
mentioned Andy Lau, Lin Xue couldn't help but think of working with him in a play more than ten years ago. At that time, Andy was still low-key and calm, not at all like a superstar.
The little actor who danced the set and twisted his waist excessively, saw the belt and bone-setting pills sent by Andy Lau the next day. He is always cautious, for fear that his star aura will affect ordinary group performances.
"We, the older generation, really appreciate them.
Andy Lau has been doing low-key charity for more than 20 years and has donated more than 50 million
In 1991, when the floods in East China caused millions of people to be homeless, Andy Lau, who was on the rise in his film and television career, resolutely decided to hold a large-scale fundraising concert with a group of artists.
He even showed a thrilling performance of breaking a boulder on his chest on stage, just to raise more money. While other celebrities flashed their words and played word games, the film superstar quietly signed a cheque for HK$5 million.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of Andy's low-key philanthropy. Over the years, his Andy Lau Charity Foundation has donated more than 50 million RMB to disaster relief such as the Wenchuan earthquake, and has carried out countless public welfare activities.
And every time he was asked, Andy Lau just waved his hand and said modestly "not worth mentioning".
In fact, it is this low-key and generous that has won the respect of countless Hong Kong stars. "He treats us little actors as siblings. Lin Jiadong, a senior who retreated behind the scenes, talked eloquently, "My current achievements all depend on his 20 years of hard work and help."
Never care, never forget. Zhang Weijian, Ning Hao and others all feel the same way, Andy Lau is their most trusted "big brother" in the entertainment industry.
The song "Unforgettable Tonight" made Andy Lau famous, and his low-key deeds for more than 20 years have made him a personality superstar in the entertainment industry. When Lin Xue publicly expressed her admiration for him, the audience applauded like thunder.
That is the highest praise for the new "Wang Rencao" in the film industry who interprets the word "benevolence" to the extreme.
Louis Koo built more than 100 hope primary schools and donated millions of dollars to fight the epidemic
In 2008, Louis Koo rushed to the Sichuan disaster area as an actor representative. When he saw the victims of the disaster, who had lost their homes and precious lives, his heart was filled with tears and his vision was blurred.
Since then, Louis Koo has single-handedly carried out the action of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" for more than ten years. He no longer picks on scripts and works hard to get the most out of his income.
He then set up the Louis Koo Charity Foundation, which continued to pour most of his salary into it to build a Hope Primary School. So far, the number of these schools has reached 128, giving countless children the opportunity to receive education.
"Our older generation admires Gu Sir's persistence. Lin Xue said, "After so many years of almost no interruption, he still remembers his original intention." Indeed, every time a country encounters an epidemic or disaster, Louis Koo will be the first to stand up and donate.
In 2020 alone, he took out tens of millions of yuan worth of medical supplies. "It's not just talking or showing it to the camera. Lin Xue emphasized, "It really helped a lot of people."
Perhaps Louis Koo doesn't care if his fame grows because of this. But at least, he won public recognition and admiration with a philanthropic heart.
Just like the tens of thousands of "Principal Gu" in the barrage below Lin Xue's video, this is the most sincere evaluation people give him.
Yang Mi and Zhang Ziyi were exposed as "fake charity", causing controversy
Lin Xue's video not only praised Andy Lau and Louis Koo, but also pointed to another type of people - those "star leaders" who verbally charity.
"I recently saw on the Internet that Yang Mi and Zhang Ziyi were accused of cheating charitable donations. Lin Xue looked suspicious, "I'm really shocked, they are also a first-line in the circle, how could they do such a thing?" It turned out that Yang Mi publicly promised to donate tens of thousands of yuan worth of equipment to a school when promoting the movie, but he didn't fulfill it afterwards.
Zhang Ziyi even falsely reported the amount of donations during the earthquake fundraising, and was caught by netizens on the spot.
This made Lin Xue can't help but speculate about their motives: did they want to repay the debt afterwards, or did they not plan to give it at all? I don't know what they think. But at least he behaved insincerely, and he was too irresponsible.
Speaking of which, Lin Xue once again sighed that Andy Lau and Louis Koo were so low-key and down-to-earth for doing good, and the recognition they received was far more than those snobbish "star charity".
Indeed, no matter what the purpose of Yang Mi and Zhang Ziyi is to fake charity, at least it has seriously hurt their personal credibility. What is even more worrying is that once such a "fake" incident is repeatedly banned, it will inevitably cause a certain degree of negative change in the public's perception of the entire entertainment industry.
The entertainment industry should set up charity supervision to put an end to false publicity
"I'm thinking, why don't we have a monitoring system in the industry?" Lin Xue's face was solemn, "It is specially used to check those who are doing charity with great fanfare, how much they have donated, and where they are going, you can't just listen to them."
Lin Xue's initiative has been responded to by many netizens. They discussed the establishment of an independent charity review body to review and register the entertainment industry celebrity charity fund and donations in advance.
After that, we will follow up on the donation situation and the flow of use according to the routine to ensure that the funds and materials really fall into the hands of the demand groups, rather than playing the "charity card" like Yang Mi and Zhang Ziyi.
"If there is a third party on the scene to supervise, I believe it will play a good warning role. Lin Xue said, "At least we can put an end to those false propaganda or hype incidents." Indeed, if celebrities knew that their every "charity" promise would be subject to scrutiny, they would no longer dare to fool the public, create gimmicks to attract attention or promote their work.
"We're not trying to 'care' who donates how much. Lin Xue emphasized again, "Rather, if you do this, you can give the public more confidence that their kindness can really help people and places in need."
That's the most important effect.
Liu Gu's model is worth learning Xi, and sincere charity is true
"That's why I respect Andy Lau and Louis Koo so much. Lin Xue concluded with a smile, "They can choose to be more high-profile or use these acts of kindness to sell themselves."
But they don't, they just keep helping others silently and sincerely.
Lin Xue believes that in this Vanity Fair, Andy Lau and Louis Koo's style of action is admirable. She hopes that she and other artists can learn more Xi from them: don't put too many commercial and economic goals on charity, but use a heart that is willing to give and give to help those who really need help and care.
"That's the power of 'truth,' isn't it?" Lin Xue said with a smile. She believes that as long as she adheres to this ancient creed of sincerity, everyone is for me, and I am for everyone, the entertainment industry and the whole society will become better, and the trust and friendship between people will also be deepened day by day.
Of course, the actions of Yang Mi, Zhang Ziyi and others will also be self-defeating in the face of time and facts. Andy Lau and Louis Koo, who are sincere and kind, will always win the respect of the public because of their selfless dedication.
