Source: Oriental Daily Translated by: aZnangel "Artistes 414 Fund Raising Campaign" - Jacky Cheung angered: It's not about the amount donated Local Hong Kong artists got together for the Qinghai Earthquake Fund Raising Campaign. In the short period, over 300 artists were able to gather together and participate in a charity performance. "Music God" Jacky Cheung revealed his righteousness at the interview, he urged everyone not to look at how much is donated and compare how much each artist donated. The <Artistes 414 Fund Raising Campaign> was held in Hong Kong Coliseum last night. All of the Hong Kong local media participated in reporting the news live. Artistes who participated includes: Jackie Chan, Jacky Cheung, Leon Lai, Eric Tsang, Shirley Kwan, Paula Tsui, Vivian Chow, Twins, Joey Yung, Hacken Lee, Nick Cheung and 320 other artistes from the entertainment circle. Just the concert opening reached HK$7 million worth of donations. By the end of the charity concert, it was announced that the total number of donations was HK$35,068,918. Yesterday Jackie Chan also brought 15 tons of materials to visit the local disaster areas. He also personally contacted Hollywood stars like Will Smith and Kenny G to record a clip to encourage donations, the clips were broadcast at the concert. Jackie reveals that he plans to team up with Lionel Richie in opening another charity concert in Mainland. Audience who attended the concert also contributed by donating HK$100 each for admissions. However, only 2,000 audience lined up at the entrance. Many people from the industry contributed in donations and strength, such as Sir Run Run who donated HK$10 million, Twins represented EEG to give a HK$1 million check to show their support. Liza Wang represented a charitable foundation and donated HK$50,000. Mainland artists such as Sun Nan donated 30,000 yuan. Jacky Cheung couldn't hold in his frustration: "It does not matter what the numbers are!" Hacken agreed and added: "Comparing the numbers is really unfair to artists. Would you go out on the streets and ask how much people donated? The most important factor in donations is the inner heart."
it's nice to know jackie's using his connections over in the states to help gain more support. i'm looking forward to karate kid!
there are floods and earth quake every year in china, god its sad being an artit, u are obliged to donate to keep ur image even if u are poor. so sad.
stupid charities like redcross don't even have special fund for Qing Hai China earthquake. the Chile donation from me to redcross would be the last of my money redcross will ever see!
it seems that charity organisations dont help china at all, never really seen them doing stuff for china at all. they helped with tsunami in thailand, they help ALL african countries and south american countries, but not seen china help. except from taking in asyulum/ refugees from them
It's great to see so many artists pull together and use their image and power to help people and really make a difference. It's great to see Jackie Chan reaching out beyond Asia to shine more light on the sad event. Hopefully, that will bring in more of the much needed help.
he is being unreasonable. The amount should be repeat again and again until the whole world know. Based on the past event the figure donated and given out never tally. See what happen to the 512 event the amount pay to the victim is much lesser and the shut everyone up. Unless he intend to do the same thing or else whats wrong with pointing out the fund. In the end is for a good cause to help the victim not to let people increase their wealth.
