In the summer of 2012, a charity event called "Ice Bucket Challenge" was launched by Lanly-Hall and spread across the social network. In a month, it swept the world. , Has created countless topics, created countless history, and at the same time, it has also caused countless controversies——

Many media and netizens have accused that the hype of celebrities and celebrities is far greater than the original intention of charity. They just poured a bucket of ice water on themselves for the purpose of gaining eyeballs, but they have completely forgotten what amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is. What happened, completely lost the original taste of this activity.

The most direct proof is that when President Barack did not accept the ice bucket challenge but chose to donate, accusations broke out on the Internet, believing that Barack did not actively show support for charity activities. But in fact, the disease is the focus, not the ice bucket.

Environmental protection activists also strongly condemned Lanli. Such behavior is undoubtedly a waste of water resources. The original intention of charity is worthy of recognition, but a more secure approach can be chosen. This is for Africa, which is suffering from the lack of clean water resources. , Is undoubtedly unforgivable.

Social defenders and scholars believe that in the social culture of entertaining to death, Lan Li chose the way of social network platform to promote this activity, and it has long been doomed to the result of hype. This is undoubtedly a face-slapped move for Lan Li, who has always boasted that he "never refuses to hype", this young actor is beginning to lose his way.

There are also a small number of family members suffering from other terminal illnesses expressing their dissatisfaction. Why is the ice bucket challenge only focusing on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis? What about other rare diseases? What about other marginalized people who are suffering from illness? Why can't Renly pay attention?

The controversy continues, but from a positive perspective, it also proves the success of the ice bucket challenge. It gradually deviates from the meaning and definition of the event itself, extends more social significance, and triggers different classes and groups Thinking and discussion. For long-term development, this is a good thing.

More importantly, this charity event has achieved a direct and practical feedback effect: charity.

According to statistics, more than 5.2 million people participated in the Ice Bucket Challenge on the North American continent alone, and more than 7.7 million people participated in charitable donations. Both of these figures have created a new history and become This is the charity event with the largest number of participants and mobilization in the history of the United States.

In the end, the Ice Bucket Challenge raised a total of 252 million US dollars, which was only a source of the challenge.

In addition to this, the sales revenue of the two singles "Say You Will Not Give Up" and "Another Light", all the revenue of the "One Man Concert", all the revenue of the "Don Quixote" special edition, and , Lan Li also donated 10 million US dollars in his own name. All the proceeds made the Heather-Cross Foundation raised more than 300 million US dollars in charity in less than six months after its establishment.

Three hundred million dollars.

Even after the box office battle of this year's summer, it was excellent, and for a charitable donation event, it was absolutely incredible.

The Heather-Cross Foundation has always maintained an open and transparent way, publishing every donation in the database for everyone to check, so that the attention of the news media can never be removed, just like witnessing the summer box office In general, the calls came after another.

From all indications, this should be the most donated event in the history of the United States for a certain disease or a certain emergency. Not only is it unprecedented, but the figure of 300 million US dollars may be no one to come. However, in order to avoid further hype, the Heather Cross Foundation did not apply for the Guinness Book of Records, so it was not officially certified.

Nevertheless, the success of the Ice Bucket Challenge is still beyond doubt.

A full 300 million, precisely because of this, how can media reporters not go crazy? How can ordinary people not be enthusiastic? How can personal reputation not soar? When Lanly left London and returned to New York, all the media lost their minds and went crazy. Such a wave far exceeds the scope of an artist or a charity event.

It is worth mentioning that 300 million is only a donation for the North American continent. For donations in Europe, Asia, Oceania and other places, the Heather-Cross Foundation issued an official announcement. Because the foundation has just been established and its capabilities are temporarily insufficient, they properly hand over the donations from various places to relevant local charities. , And cooperated to ensure that they can provide further help to local patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Because the donations are too large, the Heather Cross Foundation’s every move is under the spotlight. After the ice bucket challenge has gradually declined, fund management manager Robin Helzer and Heather Cross’s parents The official press conference was jointly held, on the one hand to express sincere thanks, on the other hand, to publicly express the purpose of all charitable funds.

First of all, 150 million yuan will set up a special research fund. Major hospitals and research institutes are welcome to apply for funds to support related research on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and promote the suppression, treatment, and even radical cure of the entire disease. may.

Secondly, 50 million will be invested in patient and community services, mainly to install more related equipment in major hospitals and major residential areas, including but not limited to wheelchair walkways, rehabilitation equipment, and training of related professionals.

Third, RMB 50 million will be used as emergency donations to sponsor poor families and special difficult situations to ensure that families suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis can get more help.

Then, 48 million is used for public and vocational education. The Heather-Cross Foundation hopes to set up relevant courses and scholarships in universities, including community colleges and technical schools, to promote the development and education of medicine, and to further promote related research on intractable diseases.

In the end, there are two million and some fractions left, which will be used for the daily maintenance of the foundation, external related expenses, and of course, follow-up related fundraising activities.

The whole press conference was a bit boring. Robin not only introduced in detail the use of charity funds, but also announced a list of all partners. The public is welcome to monitor the operation of the entire foundation at all times and gather everyone’s strength. Go further on the road to fight disease.

"Before today's press conference, I had a phone call with Lan Li." When the press conference was about to end, Robin hesitated and said, "Lan Li said that he hoped that he would not be mentioned in the process of today's press conference. Name, avoid blurring the focus. I think maybe he is correct."

Robin chuckles to himself, causing the reporters to chuckle. "However, after discussing with Derek and Ally, we still hope to express our feelings. As a member of the foundation and as a subject Parents afflicted by atrophic lateral sclerosis are also ordinary members of society."

"Len Li has repeatedly emphasized that all donations need to use a knife, because the situation experienced by each patient is far beyond our imagination; and because the original intention of this activity is derived from Heather-K. Ross. He is not the focus. The sick are. So, I sincerely hope that reporters and the public can care more about the disadvantaged groups in their lives, and then this charity event will be a success."

Robin said in a bulging voice, but his nose was slightly sour, and an inexplicable move stirred in his chest, "So, here, I want to solemnly express my gratitude. To everyone who donated money and participated in it. Thank you for those who challenged the ice bucket; and, Lanly Hall."

For the first time, the whole press conference was greeted with warm applause and sincere admiration. Different from the noise and noise of entertainment reporters, social reporters still retain a trace of innocence, bearing in mind the original intention of the "Uncrowned King", which may be weak, but at least it has not disappeared.

Undoubtedly, the Ice Bucket Challenge has become an annual event in 2012, and even in the first two decades of the 21st century, it is still an indelible event, leaving a fortune of 300 million dollars in goodness. This has really become the promotion of research and advancement of a disease~www.novelhall.com~ More importantly, the social influence of public figures has also reached a new height through social networking platforms.

This summer, because of the challenge of the ice bucket, it becomes different.

"What are you talking about?" Lan Li's expression was slightly stunned. "Should you change the accountant?" In the last discussion about the salary, Lan Li ridiculed Andy's accountant once, so this time I have a follow-up. Further ridicule.

Andy chuckled lightly, "This is the foundation's accountant, not mine. Even if there is a problem, it is your foundation's business." He started to complain without hesitation.

But Andy understood what Lanly meant, and reaffirmed, "Yes, three hundred million dollars, you heard it right. Because the amount is so large that New York's official agencies have to intervene, and the foundation is now actively involved. Proactively cooperate with relevant investigations and complete arrangements for follow-up activities with the assistance of official agencies."

Lan Li turned his head and looked at Roy and Nathan, "Do you know about this?" In the end, Nathan had already crashed his head completely, dumbfounded, without words, his expression was the best explanation. Lan Li closed his chin gently, trying to say something, but for a while, he was a little poor in words.

Who would have thought that the butterfly effect would have produced such a turbulent tsunami?

"This is a good thing." The surging mood gradually calmed down. This is not an easy task, but Lan Li still took a deep breath, and took another deep breath, temporarily excluding the Foundation matters from his head. His work has been completed. Leave the money to the professionals, and sincerely hope that this donation can come in handy.

As for himself, he should be back on the Broadway stage.

However, Lan Li couldn't help but turned his head and looked out of the car window.
