Chapter 2089: 2089 Sally Foundation

"Did you go to see Sally in February?" Jessica and Hugo walked side by side, and suddenly remembered the bouquet of roses that she saw in front of her daughter's tombstone at the end of February. Completely withered, it can be seen that it should have been placed recently. Jessica's first reaction was the man beside her, but she never asked for confirmation. Today, thinking about it, she asked casually.

The smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth became a little bit bitter, he hooked it lightly, and said in a brisk tone, "Yes, it's Valentine's Day. I think there must be many suitors for Sally, and I must strongly express my existence feel."

Although Sally had passed away for a year, Hugo never forgot the little girl with a bright smile. Many times, Hugo would imagine that if Sally was still alive, seeing the success of Glory to Death and seeing the children helped by the "Sally Foundation", how touching the smile on her face would be.

Jessica had already expected it to be Hugo, but at this moment her eyes were still slightly warm.

Hugo in front of the camera always seems a little unreal. As Hugo’s achievements become more and more unbelievable, there are only a lot of negative news about Hugo, but they have not exploded as exaggeratedly as before. Michael Jackson of the era.

Jessica remembers reading a story in the "New York Post" saying that Hugo used the "Sally Foundation" to make money, using the name of fans to deceive young Volcano's feelings, and actually stole the funds from the foundation. Participate in the stock market and seek more benefits. At the end of that news article, they vowed to say that Hugo's current assets have exceeded one billion dollars.

When Jessica saw the news, she was almost outraged. She wished she could rush to the New York Post's headquarters in New York and smash their offices. Because only those who really know Hugo know how vicious, shameless, and despicable it is to slander those who slander those speculations.

Since then, as long as anyone told her about the "New York Post" news, she would absolutely sneer at it, even quarreling with the other party, firmly drawing the line between herself and the "New York Post".

Although Jessica has never really talked to Hugo, the topic of Sally between them is not taboo, but every time it is just a taste, it seems that this is a scar that is difficult to uncover, and it is still difficult to heal. But Sally knows one thing. When Glory died on the "Twisted Tour" last summer, they never sang the song "Don't. Look. Back. In. Anger".

Hugo is always remembering Sally in his own way. Jessica has always known.

People saw Glory to Death, people saw a rock revival, people saw the "Twisted Tour"...but Jessica saw the real Hugo in Sally's eyes. Jessica knew why Hugo dominated all of this, not Nirvana, Pearl Jam or Oasis, not because Hugo was better than them, but because Hugo always kept a clean place for his dreams. land, that is the domain that no one can infringe.

Therefore, Jessica joined the "Sally Foundation", not to supervise the operation of the foundation, nor to ensure that the foundation is used in a proper way, but because she hopes to do her part. . Now, Jessica is the organizer of the "Sally Foundation".

In the past year, Hugo has invested more than 30 million U.S. dollars in the "Sally Foundation"-contrary to what the "New York Post" said, Hugo has no income from the foundation at all. On the contrary, there is a steady stream of investment. In the words of Hugo, "These are the benefits from the society, and now they are returned to the society."

"The Truman Show" earned Hugo more than 40 million US dollars in remuneration. After deducting up to 50% of the tax, it was only more than 20 million, but Hugo still planned to invest all the money in "Sally Foundation", hoping to help more children.

Under Hugo's call, the "Sally Foundation" raised more than 100 million US dollars last year-this is actually one of the important manifestations of Hugo's strong influence in the United States. Part of the funds are used to help children treat diseases, and part of the funds are used to promote medical research and development, including purchasing advanced equipment for children's hospitals. The "Sally Foundation" alone has helped more than 300 children, which can be said to be Great results.

In addition, as far as Jessica knows, Hugo has also been investing money in the "Twisted Tour", and he has invested more than five million dollars in this tour. Although there are countless sponsors who are willing to inject advertisements into the "Twisted Tour", as long as Hugo is willing, this tour can be a money-making tool, but in order to ensure the purity and focus of the tour, the players of Glory to Death rejected all sponsors— — just handed over the naming rights to Vance.

Not only Hugo, but other members of Glory to Death have also invested a lot of money in the "Twisted Tour". They even set up a "Twisted Tour Foundation"-just for the tour, so that those who are on the tour The bands that performed well in China have the opportunity to release their own albums. Of course, it is not a big company like EMI, which just provides them with equipment and funds to complete the recording of the album, and then provide it to the truly loyal fans during the tour.

Including Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, Green Day, etc. have also contributed their own strength to the "Twisted Tour Foundation".

People saw the strong momentum of rock's recovery-and many album sales were not seen in the billboard and major record sales statistics, but they did not see the efforts of rock bands such as Glory to Death.

As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Hugo has always been in a place where people can't see, giving back the love and support he has received to the society in a more direct way.

You can always see countless news about Hugo in the news media. Frequently, you can read Hugo's name in the newspaper five days a week. But the irony is that Jessica has never read the news about Hugo's focus on charity, as if Hugo has never done these things-this is the media, five percent of the upper class focus on charity, This is a matter of course, so there is no need to report it at all; on the contrary, if the five percent are stingy with charity, they will be eager to criticize it.

Although Jessica agreed with her daughter's idea a long time ago, and she also really likes the band Glory to Death, but only after she really got in touch with Hugo, did Jessica know that Sally was more than just a band to Hugo. Like, but also adore, admiration, admiration. This also allowed Jessica to truly understand Sally's mood at the last moment of her life. Sally was happy, happy, and perfect. For Sally, the years following the "Storm" tour , was the brightest moment in her short life. So, when Sally left, she didn't have any regrets.

This made Jessica relieved, allowing her to let go of the grief in her heart and continue to live, carrying on with Sally's memories. Because Jessica knows that Sally will always be in her memory, living vividly in the melody of "Don't be upset by the past".

"Believe me, you will always be Sally's first choice." Jessica showed a shallow smile, and Hugo became a little embarrassed when she said it, "By the way, you know this news will definitely be happy, Paul has found the right heart and can be on the operating table tomorrow."

"Really? Oh, God, this is really the best news I heard today. Where is Paul? I didn't forget to bring him Peyton Manning's signature football." Hugo's mood became clear. , with a bright smile all over his face.

Paul Vick (Paul. Vick), a six-year-old boy, had to spend his entire childhood in the hospital because of a severe congenital heart disease. Hugo met him last year before the launch of "The Sixth Sense", and later took him to the crew to visit the set. This sensible little boy and Haili became good friends.

It's a pity that Paul still couldn't wait for a suitable heart transplant. After being disappointed three times, his parents almost collapsed completely. Even Hugo, an irrelevant bystander, couldn't bear it anymore. Hugo rushed to Indianapolis yesterday to prepare Paul's Easter gift -- Payton participated in last year's draft and was selected by the Indianapolis Colts as the No. 1 pick -- which led to his absence this morning. Unexpectedly, I got this good news today.

"Paul has to stay in the hospital today for preoperative preparations." Jessica looked at Hugo who was getting carried away, couldn't help laughing, and reminded.

Hugo patted his forehead, "Then can I visit him in the hospital later? Or does he need to rest?"

"I think Paul would really like to see you." After Jessica finished speaking, she saw the smile on Hugo's mouth completely blooming, like a child.

While speaking, the two of them had already walked to the small stage—it was a small stage, because the stage was only as high as three steps. A group of children stood under the stage, while Charlize and Leonardo Standing on the stage, it looks like a giant has come to the Lilliputian.

Then Hugo saw Charlize and Leonardo singing loudly following the nursery rhyme disc in the tape, gesticulating with their dance moves seriously, but the two of them didn't have any dance skills at all. It feels like a group of demons dancing wildly, the children under the stage are all laughing together, and there are two little girls standing on the stage, sitting on the stage, trying to guide the two clumsy adults Back to normal track - but apparently their wish is impossible to achieve.

Seeing this scene, the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth rose slightly, and the coldness of early spring spread like ripples in an instant.
