As the table tennis champion of four consecutive Summer Olympics in 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992 and 1996, Zhan Ning was very popular at that time. Even now, Zhan Ning is completely invisible to the public, but Zhan Ning
The influence also permeates all aspects.
Just like Han Sen's dominance in the music world, Zhan Ning's dominance in the sports world is also very terrifying. Some table tennis apprentices will even display Zhan Ning's posters in advance when they participate in some large-scale provincial and national competitions.
It became a trend to bow before you.
Not to mention, there are rumors in the industry that almost every table tennis player who has played under Zhan Ning will perform beyond his level when he takes the court, and there are often wonderful scenes of desperate counter-attacks.
But Zhan Ning is already over 50 years old, and his energy, reaction and other abilities have declined, so he quit the sports world and moved behind the scenes long before the turn of the millennium.
Over the years behind the scenes, Zhan Ning has created the largest sportswear brand in China. After ten years of development, Zhan Ning has used his influence to continuously increase the popularity of clothing and investment in song-in-song. Now it has become a national-level sportswear brand and is popular in the country.
For a while.
In addition, in recent years, Zhanning Sports has also been engaged in the development of sports destinations, as well as the investment and organization of sports events and activities, investing in and operating consumer goods businesses related to sports, health, and leisure life, and creating a number of companies serving cities.
The community’s Zhanning Sports Park, etc.
Speaking of sports brands, Zhan Ning has become the first golden brand in China and even in the world. Especially after the development of national fashion design in recent years, some Chinese style elements have been continuously applied to some sports goods. It was once very popular and has been
It has the same influence as some well-known international brands.
And Zhan Ning himself has a net worth of tens of billions because of this.
But even so, when he received the commission from the Olympic Committee to serve as the torch bearer for the last stop, Zhanning was obligated and quickly agreed. For this purpose, he even started exercising his already fat body in advance.
Once athletes stop exercising, they gain weight much faster than ordinary people. If Zhan Ning hadn't deliberately maintained it, today's Zhan Ning might be like most athletes, suffering from injuries early on, and his later years would be miserable.
"This is Han Sen's information."
At this moment, in the Zhanning Sports Group building, Zhanning sipped tea while looking at Hansen's relevant information. After a while, he nodded and said: "Young and energetic, in line with the group's brand image, but the endorsement fee is really a bit too high.
Already."
Looking at the price of Han Sen's external endorsements shown in the data, Zhan Ning felt that it was a bit worthless. It was 200 million a year. Even if it was his own endorsement price in his heyday, it was only like this.
As for Han Sen, he has only been out for a year or two, and his net worth is already on par with his peak self.
The assistant held a stack of folders in his hands and reminded him slightly: "Dr. Zhan, two hundred million a year is just Hansen's public quotation. This price has indeed been successfully traded. Not long ago, Shuangfeiyi Group has announced
Admit it, they hired Han Sen to be the brand spokesperson of their group for a price of 100 million in two years."
Zhan Ning was stunned for a long time. After reacting, he asked: "What do these artists' public quotations... mean?"
The assistant explained: "It is the most basic pricing. For a popular artist like Han Sen, it is basically difficult to get a public quotation. To put it simply, 100 million for two years is just the starting price. If we really
If we go to talk, Han Sen might be in a hurry..."
Zhan Ning tapped the information about Han Sen on the table. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. In the end, he could only ask: "How is Wang Lin's market analysis done? What if Han Sen is really hired as a spokesperson?
, is it worthy of the price of 100 million we offered him over two years?”
"Mr. Wang said that it is not only affordable, but also very worthwhile. If you invest 100 million, you can get back more than ten times the return, because Hansen is currently in the period of popularity, and Mr. Wang said that Hansen is not only an artist, he has become a cultural
Symbol, if we find Hansen to endorse it, it will help Janning Sports gain a lot of points internationally."
The assistant said: "Currently, Han Sen does not endorse sportswear. Han Sen has publicly stated that he only endorses products that fans can afford. In the past, there were indeed many luxury brands that wanted Han Sen to endorse them.
, but he declined them all, but not long ago he suddenly endorsed Shuangfeiyi, a top drone brand, which shows that Han Sen has a lot of room for maneuver in the scope of his endorsement."
He paused and then said: "According to rumors, this is because Han Sen wants to invest in making movies, so he is short of money now. We can take advantage of this opportunity to cooperate with Han Sen."
After listening to the assistant's report, Zhan Ning picked up the phone on his desk and called Wang Lin, general manager of the group. After learning about the think tank's analysis and evaluation of Han Sen, Zhan Ning no longer hesitated.
Directly let people start contacting Han Sen.
…
On the other side, Tan Gaohan also received an intention to contact Zhan Ning Sports. In recent days, he had been troubled by director Xu Weizhou because of investment funds. When he heard that someone wanted to send money to his door, he immediately became interested and talked to Zhan Ning.
After contacting the sports department twice, the two parties hit it off and agreed to meet in the near future.
After Tan Gaohan finished answering the phone, he hadn't rested for two minutes when he heard the door of the office being pushed open, and Xu Weizhou, who was still haunted, came in with a pile of contracts, "Mr. Tan, I have roped in a few more investors for you. You
Look, these are all parties interested in investing..."
Seeing that Tan Gaohan was unmoved, Xu Weizhou pulled up a chair and sat directly opposite Tan Gaohan, persuading him earnestly: "I have been preparing for the "Steel" for half a year, and the skeleton of the big ship has been completed. I am waiting for two months.
, I can completely restore the Steel Cruise Ship 1:1. At that time, I will activate the crew and start filming. I will try to complete the filming within three months, but you know, if you want the horse to run, how can you not let the horse eat?
Damn it? No money? How can you get the best equipment and the best actors? Let’s talk about the extras. If you don’t pay them wages for a day, they will just give up and leave..."
Tan Gaohan had a headache after hearing this. He interrupted Xu Weizhou's ramblings and took a look at the contracts on the table. As before, they were all unknown parties. He had never heard of them at all. After asking carefully, basically
They are all investments of 3 to 5 million, with very few in the tens of millions. These scattered parties may be able to form a huge capital chain, but they are very prone to problems. He doesn't want "Steel" to return
There was so much negative news before it was released.
"Director Xu, don't worry and go make the movie. I will find a way to solve the funding problem." Tan Gaohan said seriously.
He does have a way, but it also takes time to catch big fish with a long-term approach. How can he eat a fat man in one bite?
At present, Tan Gaohan is in contact with several investors, each of which invests more than 50 million, which is very promising.
Xu Weizhou sighed; "I know you have a way, but when many people heard that this movie requires an investment of more than 500 million, and that it will take several years to shoot, they have no interest in asking. If you want to catch a big fish, how easy is it?
"
If a movie costs RMB 500 million, it will need at least RMB 1.5 billion at the box office to make back the money.
Although Han Sen is very popular, Tang Wu is also an excellent actress, and Xu Weizhou is a famous director, even so, it is difficult to attract investment. Many people may just give Xu Weizhou and Tan Gaohan a face, and just draw them casually
Three to five million dollars was treated as an investment without any thought of return.
This is enough to show how unpopular "Steel" is.
What's more, "The Steel" claims to be a movie script adapted from real events, but after reading about the sinking of the "Steel" cruise ship, many people are not very interested in such disaster movies. In this way, people who watch the movie are not interested in it.
Just more.
"I just received a call from Jenning Sports. They want Hansen to be their brand spokesperson."
In order to appease Xu Weizhou, Tan Gaohan directly explained: "The last time Han Sen endorsed Shuangfeiyi, he easily made 100 million. It will be the same this time. Zhan Ning Sports can support us at least 100 million."
"really?"
Hearing the words "Zhan Ning Sports", Xu Weizhou was a little surprised, but then he was overjoyed: "Then this will be easy to handle. With a capital of 200 million, at least it can support me to finish shooting most of the scenes of this movie!"
The 1:1 model restoration costs at least 100 million, and if the crew earns another 100 million, it will be enough for Xu Weizhou to shoot all the literary and drama parts.
And the production of some big scenes requires special effects to support it.
Xu Weizhou felt a little comfortable now. He took out another piece of paper from the bag behind him and said: "Mr. Tan, look, this is the pier I just found based on the description in the script. I plan to rent it for a month for filming...
"
When Tan Gaohan heard this sentence, he glanced at the piece of paper subconsciously, and then saw the words "Donggang International Terminal" clearly written on it.
However, Tan Gaohan was well-informed. He couldn't help but swallow at this moment and looked at Xu Weizhou with strange eyes: "Director Xu, are you sure you want to rent it for a month? This is the East China Sea Port, the largest port in the country and even the world!"
East China Sea Port is located at the forefront of the Yangtze River Delta, in the middle of the mainland coastline, adjacent to the Yangtze River estuary, and at the intersection of the Yangtze River, the east-west transportation corridor and the north-south transportation corridor. It is the main hub of China's coastal ports and an important hub for China's opening up to the outside world and its participation in the international economy.
One of the important ports for circulation.
This is also the largest port in China.
As a world-famous port and one of the top ten ports in the world, Donghai Port has ranked first in the world in terms of cargo and container throughput since 20 years ago.
The annual cargo throughput is more than 50 million containers.
It can be said that this port is too small to say that it is making money every day.
Now, this Xu Pifu actually said that he wanted to rent this port, and it would take a month?
How dare he bring it up?
"I don't rent all of it, I just need to rent part of it for filming."
Xu Weizhou chuckled, looking like he was making money by being friendly.
But Tan Gaohan did not spoil him and said directly: "It is impossible to rent Donghai Port. Let alone a month, it is not practical for a day."
He directly turned on the computer, searched for some important ports at home and abroad, and finally pointed to one of the ports and said: "Go to Bangkok Port to shoot."
Xu Weizhou rolled his eyes.
Bangkok Port is completely different from Donghai Port. Although it is considered a world-famous port, its size is not at the same level as Donghai Port.
The most important thing is that there is no way for a huge cruise ship like the Steel to be launched in a small port like Bangkok Port. In addition, Bangkok Port does not have the grandeur, dignity and class of Donghai Port.
"Bangkok Port is absolutely not allowed, and the last option is Damasik Port!" Xu Weizhou said firmly.
Now it was Tan Gaohan's turn to roll his eyes. Danmaxi Port is also one of the top ten ports in the world. Compared with Donghai Port, it is only slightly inferior. Of course, the daily throughput is not as fast as Donghai Port. For many people who come to China to do business
For foreign shipping merchants, Danmaxi Port is just a transit port.
Xu Weizhou said: "Actually, you can just shoot in Donghai Port. We are also helping to promote Donghai Port and increase their popularity for free..."
Tan Gaohan was dumbfounded. For such a big world-class port, do you need to help them promote it?
Just such a geographical location will definitely attract people from all over the world to flock here.
"You go and communicate with the relevant departments."
Xu Weizhou blinked: "With the support from above, it won't be a problem to capture Donghai Port. At worst, I will shorten the lease time to half a month!"
Do you still need me to communicate with the relevant departments?
Tan Gaohan was speechless and very helpless.
At this moment, Tan Gaohan really didn't expect that filming "Steel" would be so difficult for him.
He even had the idea that I would stop filming this drama.
But soon this thought disappeared without a trace.
Because he remembered that Han Sen told him that if the mainland box office of "Steel" did not reach 2 billion, he, Han Sen, would publicly broadcast the show while standing on his head while washing his hair.
In order to watch Han Sen stand on his head while washing his hair, Tan Gaohan still wanted to continue doing some activities.
"If you have any other requests, you can finish them in one breath." Tan Gaohan didn't have a good face towards Xu Weizhou at this moment.
When Xu Weizhou heard this, he immediately spread out another map, pointed to a place on it and said: "It will take at least a month for me to capture this place in Haikou, Tanzhou, Qilu Province. In this regard, please trouble Mr. Tan."
You take the time to communicate with the relevant departments..."
"Another month!"
Tan Gaohan smiled: "Director Xu, our shooting time..."
"Tanzhou Haikou is not a port. Usually there are not many tourists here."
Xu Weizhou glanced at Tan Gaohan and said: "You have also read the script "Steel Horn", and you also know how magnificent the male and female protagonists are when they meet in the water. If we can't even get such an outdoor scene, then we can only set up a studio to shoot, so
As a result, more money will be wasted, aren't you right, Mr. Tan? What's more, Han Sen also hopes that everything should be based on realism, and special effects should not be used where special effects can be used."
Tan Gaohan was silent for a long time, then he picked up the information on the desktop, put it into his file bag, and then looked at Tan Gaohan: "Is there anything else?
"No more, no more." Seeing Tan Gaohan's appearance, Xu Weizhou knew it was done and immediately smiled from ear to ear.
At the same time, he was also very excited. Even though he had directed many classic movies, he had never seen such a battle.
If everything he asks for can be realized, then this "Steel Horn" may be the most magnificent work in his career!
It will also leave the most profound mark in the history of the Chinese film industry!
