3月9日,终于有一天休息,不用拍戏,不过我还是在工作,为壹基金开了一天的会。
很高兴晚上有时间去探班。大家可能知道有一部电影叫《灌篮》,9号在上海开机了,这个剧组中从导演到演员、到制片、到美术、摄影,都是我的好朋友。
晚上的探班,先是要感谢周杰伦在几个月前第一个捐出10万块给壹基金,我一直没有当面感谢他,所以借此机会去探班,也当面感谢这位好朋友对公益事业的支持。还有曾志伟,两年前就答应我会全力的支持壹基金的概念,我详细的向他介绍了这两年来壹基金的情况。还有导演朱延平、制片张小平,很多朋友。
其实电影圈很多朋友都热爱公益事业,剧组有很多人都愿意做义工,愿意在将来提供不断的支持。
你看,一个主意两年前在我脑海里出现:“一个人一个月一块钱,为了一个大家庭。”,转眼已经变成几百人,而且还在不断的扩大,让我很感动。很多事情做起来并不容易,但就是因为困难,所以才要做下去。
非常希望《灌篮》剧组的全体朋友能够顺利,开心的把这部电影拍完,希望这部电影成功。
Although March 9th was a day off from production, I still had a lot of work to do. There is still much more to be done for the foundation. Some of you may have heard of a new film production called "GuanLan" which started filming in Shanghai on the 9th. I went to visit the set because all the key personnel including the director, actors, producer, and cinematographer are all my good friends.
During my visit, I took to opportunity to thank Jay Chou in person for his support of the One Foundation in person. He was the first to donate 100,000 RMB and since we have both been very busy I did not have the time to thank him face to face. I also took the opportunity to explain the progress of the One Foundation to my good friend Eric Tsang. Two years ago, Eric promised that he would fully support the foundation in whatever manner possible. Director Zhu YuanPing and Producer Zhang ShawPing have also expressed their support.
Actually there are countless individuals in the industry who deeply care about philanthropy. Many people in the production crew have joined as volunteers and expressed their willingness for continued support. A year ago there was just this idea floating around my head: "Everyone, every month donate one dollar, because we are all one family." In just a short time, it has become an idea accepted by hundreds of people around the world. And this is just the beginning. So I’m very happy to see this progress. It's not always easy but we must still do our best.
I wish the entire "GuanLan" crew a very smooth, happy, and successful production experience.
