One day after the concert ended, January 13th entered the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, one month away from the Spring Festival, and 40 days away from the Shanhai Animation Festival on February 22nd. Naturally, Meng Fan's focus and time and energy will be directed to this project. Things have drifted. m
Oh, there is another very important thing during the period, that is, the official list of nominations for the Lawrence World Sports Awards has been announced, and Meng Fan is on the list, and has been shortlisted for two awards, the Best Male Athlete of the Year Award and the Best Breakthrough Award of the Year, If it was before 2008, Meng Fan would definitely have been shortlisted for the Best Newcomer of the Year Award, but unfortunately this award has been canceled since 2008.
The official introduction to the nomination also described Meng Fan quite brilliantly.
Meng Fan (candidate for the Best Male Athlete of the Year Award): A legendary athlete who won five gold medals across three major sports in a single Olympic Games.
Meng Fan (Breakthrough Award Candidate of the Year): Breaking through the traditional ways of wrestling and judo competitions and pushing weightlifting records beyond human limits.
The award ceremony has been confirmed to be held on February 18, which is the seventh day of the first lunar month in Monaco, the second smallest country in the world where every inch of land is expensive.
Meng Fan, as the two nominated athletes, was of course invited to the awards ceremony, and he could bring several people to participate. As for whether he won the award, he really couldn't be as sure as the Lawrence Top Ten in China. After all, the two awards were shortlisted. In the list, there are two people who are not inferior to Meng Fan in terms of commercial value, popularity, and influence. Although the hardware of a single Olympic Games is a very big bargaining chip, you can't say that the hardware is 100%. It must overwhelm the weight of winning the nth tennis Grand Slam or the nth golf cup or winning the nth F1 championship.
Whether he can win the prize is really unknown, but Meng Fan, one of the six candidates, has a probability of more than 20% for each award. However, it will not be too high. After all, Lawrence of the world loves tennis, golf and F1, followed by track and field, swimming and football. It is really difficult to win awards in the three sports. If Meng Fan hadn't surpassed the three major categories, it would have been difficult for him to be nominated even if he got a terrible result in just one category.
For the entire Chinese sports world, it is definitely a big event for Meng Fan to be shortlisted for these two awards. Meng Fan is the first Chinese athlete to be nominated for the best male athlete of the year, and he is also the first to be nominated for the best male athlete of the year at the same time. Athletes and the best breakthrough Chinese athletes of the year have epoch-making significance.
The Center for Lifting and Wrestling and even the entire body attaches great importance to this. In addition to supervising Meng Fan to be prepared to actively participate in the awards ceremony, he also uses various channels to increase the possibility of Meng Fan winning the award. Although the Lawrence World Awards are not directly endorsed by the "Lobbying Act" like North American awards including the Oscars, they certainly have formal public relations channels.
The public relations target of the Lawrence World Sports Awards is naturally the 70 or so members of the Lawrence World Sports Association. Of course, it is impossible to force money or anything. The main content of the public relations is actually to publicize Meng Fan's influence in the three projects, including In addition to promoting the development of these three projects in China and even Asian countries and regions after winning the championship, there is another very important point, that is, charity, and the World Lawrence Sports Award also includes charity.
If you don't check, you don't know. After checking, you are startled. Only then did the Jujurou Center know that Meng Fan has been doing public welfare and charity. Both the energy and financial resources invested are very high. Strictly speaking, holding an animation festival is not a charity, but creating scholarships and bursaries at Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts is definitely a charity. In addition, there are book donations, donations, charity runs, participation in music classrooms, and filming of public service advertisements, etc.
If it is calculated in terms of financial resources, incomplete statistics have already exceeded 50 million!
In fact, Meng Fan's public welfare and charity are not very low-key, at least he didn't hide it from anyone, it's all open, but it's just that his other things are too high-profile. Therefore, although many people know about Meng Fan's public welfare work, it is not his dazzling business card. Such a comparison is naturally very low-key.
You can't be so low-key!
At least let the legendary athletes of the Lawrence World Society know!
The difficulty of holding an awards ceremony is obviously much greater than Meng Fan imagined, at least it is not as simple as he makes a decision and someone will take care of everything for him, and it is absolutely impossible to be a hands-off shopkeeper like a concert.
First of all, the right to hold the animation festival has to be run down. First, go to the General Administration for approval and approval, and then go to the venue to make notes and pass the approval. After a set of procedures, Meng Fan knows how dare he dared to set the holding time on February 22. I don't know, 8 stations and Penguin Animation Network are the most popular ones, so they really bit the bullet and followed suit. It must have been approved in the end, but in nature it only belongs to the local animation festival in Hangzhou.
Of course, the nature is regional in nature, but it does not have much impact, but it is 100% impossible to obtain provincial or national policy support in a regional nature. Meng Fan is not sure about the account. The website and Penguin Animation Network are quite painful, and now I just hope that after the first holding, the influence can be improved so as to apply for a higher level.
The second is the setting of awards and the shortlisting of works. Meng Fan first proposed the method of double recommendation from the industry and fans. The idea is indeed good, and the result may be good, but the process is too tortured, far from as simple as Meng Fan imagined. During the period, there were some worse situations. For example, some animation studios bribed some professional judges and fan judges to push their works in secret. This situation is too uncontrollable, not to mention the huge interests involved. Let alone the bonus provided by Meng Fan, the momentum created by the Shanhai Animation Awards alone is the existence of a large amount of traffic.
There are also awards presenters and performers. Performers are easy to find. Before this, Meng Fan has already finalized a lot of stars. Although the time is quite early, he basically won’t do anything when they are finalized. But the stars who will be present will increase the weight of the awards ceremony, and there will also be stars in the animation industry. In comparison, award presenters are more difficult to find.
If the award presenters are also celebrities in the entertainment industry, it is possible and easy to find, but this obviously does not meet Meng Fan's original intention. Compared with the animation circle, it may bring traffic but it is not a healthy development posture, so it still has to be done. Going to find a big boss in the industry.
Meng Fan discussed with 8 Stations and Penguin Animation Network, and set several directions. First, relevant officials must be present, second, domestic animation circle bigwigs should invite a group, and third, foreign bigwigs must also be invited. A batch, including cartoonists, animation directors, dubbing experts and even animation music experts.
The domestic ones are a little easier to find, with 8 Station and Penguin Animation Network coming forward, these two foreign companies are sure to be able to do it, and Meng Fan must also find someone.
