Chapter two hundred and eighteen acquisition of naming rights
"What!" Shu Qi and Chen Bosen thought a lot, but they didn't expect that Zhao Chen came to them to find them for this purpose, but it was enough to make them excited. It was really bad that the founding of this Academy Awards was so bad that it was difficult to find sponsors again. Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen came to his door at this time. This was simply timely help!
"Teacher Zhao Chen, are you saying true?"
"Of course, in my capacity, why would you lie to you!"
"I wonder how much Teacher Zhao Chen is willing to sponsor every year?"
As soon as Shu Qi finished speaking, Zhao Chen took out a finger.
"Ten thousand?" Shu Qi and Chen Bosen's faces suddenly looked ugly. They thought it was only HK$10,000 sponsorship fee, and there was nothing to do with such a little money, and it was useless.
Zhao Chen shook his head, with a smile on his face, signaling them to continue guessing that he was a bit vulgar.
"Is it a hundred thousand yuan?" As a result, Shu Qi and Chen Bosen's faces were excited. The 100,000 Hong Kong dollars were not a small amount for them at present. Just like the Golden Star Awards we founded today, the cost was almost the same.
"I'm wrong, it's one million Hong Kong dollars a year!"
"Nani!" Zhao Chen said this, and both of them were disbelief and thought they had heard it wrong, but after seeing the other party's expression, they felt that they had heard it wrong, and they were stunned on the spot.
In the end, Shu Qi was awake and quickly asked, "Mr. Zhao Chen gave so much sponsorship fees, I'm afraid there is some purpose!"
"Of course, but this is also a good thing for you. I will not hinder the development of the Golden Star Award. You only need to add the word "world" to the prefix and trophy of the Golden Star Award. Even if it is a reward, I think you won't refuse!"
This is the purpose of Zhao Chen. He will definitely succeed in the Academy Awards and will have a great influence in the future, especially in Asia.
In fact, he is just spending money to buy the naming rights of the Golden Image Awards, which is to advertise the World Club in disguise. The amount spent is only one million Hong Kong dollars a year. This money is just a drizzle for him and can be earned in less than half a day.
But this is a huge sum of money for Shu Qi and Chen Bosen. Although "Movie Biweekly" is quite famous in Xiangjiang, it basically has no profit, and the assets of the two can be imagined. The reason why they founded the Academy Awards was nothing more than because of their love for movies.
Therefore, they were not keen on naming rights, and Zhao Chen promised to sponsor 1 million Hong Kong dollars a year, but in the end they agreed.
After the two parties signed the contract, Zhao Chen then discussed it carefully with the two and explained some ways to hold award ceremony in later generations. As for whether they would do it, they can only say something else. Anyway, Zhao Chen has achieved his goal.
After the goal was achieved, Zhao Chen turned to the TVB. The music training class organized by Huaxing Records was also here. This time it was mainly to meet Zhou Huimin so as not to meet for too long, resulting in unfamiliarity between the two sides.
It was already evening at this time, but as soon as I entered the headquarters of the TVB, I met a very familiar person. It was Zhou Xingchi, known as the "double weekly 100%"!
Of course, Zhou Xingchi now has no glory in the future. He doesn’t even have any fame at all. It can be said that he is the lowest time in his life.
Zhou Xingchi grew up with four siblings and raised by a single mother since childhood. He has no outstanding personality, average study, and does not make a lot of money when working. He has been good friends with Liang Chaowei since childhood, and they dream of becoming an actor together.
In 1980, Zhou Xingchi became a special TV actor, but he did not gain any fame. So in 1982, Liang Chaowei, who was not interested in acting, applied for the 11th training class for TVB Artists. In fact, Liang Chaowei was admitted to Liang Chaowei. Finally, Zhou Xingchi entered the night department of the training class.
According to history, Zhou Xingchi has never been a supporting role in the following years, but he has not gained much fame. It was not until he starred in "He comes from the World" that he became famous and then began to become famous.
When Zhou Xingchi saw Zhao Chen, he was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head and wanted to cross over. Perhaps he had a higher self-esteem. Zhou Xingchi thought that the difference between the two identities was too big. Even if he said hello, Zhao Chen might not be able to reply to him. Why not make things uncomfortable by himself?
However, Zhao Chen subconsciously said: "Zhou Xingchi!"
This sentence directly shocked Zhou Xingchi completely, raised his head, and pointed at himself with one hand, indicating whether he would call him.
Until Zhao Chen nodded, Zhou Xingchi was ecstatic and became confused. He was self-aware and had no fame at all. How could Zhao Chen know him?
"Zhao Chen...Teacher, do you know me?"
Zhao Chen himself was also a little worried, but his head turned around and immediately said, "You forgot that I have the ability to remember everything you have, but I just watched you on TV once. That was two years ago. At that time, you seemed to be a special actor!"
Zhou Xingchi was extremely happy when he heard Zhao Chen's reason, but he became listless again when he changed the server. He knew that the special actor was not acting badly, otherwise he would not have applied for the wireless training class two years later. But what he was a little disbelief was that he was not admitted, but Liang Chaowei, who was forced to be taken to by him, was passed. If a mentor had not given him help, he would have been unable to even work overnight.
This incident made Zhou Xingchi very disappointed and became unconfident in his acting skills. However, he was a very optimistic person and quickly put him aside. Because he knew in his heart that there was a very good opportunity in front of him!
Although Zhao Chen is not a person from TVB or a well-known director, Zhou Xingchi knows that Zhao Chen has a certain say in both movies and TV. After all, the scripts he wrote are either big box office sales or big ratings. Because each script starts at HK$1 million, he has won the title of Zhao Baiwan in Xiangjiang Movie Soft!
In fact, what Zhou Xingchi didn't know was that Zhao Baiwan actually came from many screenwriters in Xiangjiang. After all, Zhao Chen sold a movie script for one million at that time, and their income was really ashamed of being compared with him. So, under the jealousy and hatred, he gave Zhao Chen such a specious nickname.
But this nickname also gained Zhao Chen's fame at that time and provided a lot of convenience for his subsequent development.
Not to mention this, Zhao Chen's current identity alone is enough to help him. Like the storm of Xiangjiang, the youngest billionaire, British jazz and world-renowned cartoonist.
Yes, as he continues to rely on his network to open up the market, Tianxia Society has established branches in more and more countries, resulting in Zhao Chen's fame greatly increasing. His comics have gained a great reputation in the world, and have gained the title of world-renowned cartoonist.
This title can be said to be much more difficult than the famous cartoonist in the island country. Just like the historical Osamu Tezuka is called the God of Manga, and the prefix must also be added with the word "Island Country". It cannot be regarded as the God of Manga, because comic fans in many countries in the world will not admit it at all! In fact, Osamu Tezuka's reputation is mainly limited to the island country, and in some countries it is even less famous than Zhao Chen.
But even if Zhou Xingchi's abacus was very good, Zhao Chen had just talked with him casually, which disappointed him.
But what made Zhou Xingchi extremely happy was that a few days later, he was officially admitted to the wireless training class and no longer had to work night shifts.
Zhou Xingchi is very self-aware. The wireless training class has already passed the day to recruit students, and whether he has strong connections. Moreover, this happened a few days after meeting Zhao Chen, and everything showed that Zhao Chen was helping him.
Sure enough, after a while of inquiry, Zhou Xingchi learned everything from a mentor. Zhao Chen only said a few words at the time, and asked Shao Yifu to make an exception to recruit Zhou Xingchi into the wireless training class.
"I just met a night class student named Zhou Xingchi. I think he has great potential and may become a person of Zhou Runfa in the future!"
After knowing that it was Zhao Chen who was secretly helping him, Zhou Xingchi made up his mind to live up to Zhao Chen's expectations and try his best to hone his acting skills so as to repay this kind of favor in the future!
