Chapter 512: Anime Awards Preparation

One day after the concert, on January 13, it was the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, one month away from the Spring Festival, and 40 days from the Shanhai Animation Festival on February 22, Meng Fan's next focus and time and energy naturally shifted to this matter.

Oh, there is another very important thing during the period, that is, the World Laureus Sports Awards have officially announced the list of nominees, Meng Fan is impressively listed, and he has been shortlisted for two awards, the Best Male Athlete of the Year Award and the Best Breakthrough Award of the Year, if it is before 08, Meng Fan will definitely be shortlisted for the Best Newcomer of the Year Award, but unfortunately this award has been canceled since 08.

The official nomination profile is also quite eye-catching.

Meng Fan (Male Athlete of the Year shortlist): A legendary athlete who won five gold medals in three sports at a single Olympic Games.

Meng Fan (Breakthrough of the Year nominee): Breaking through the traditional way of wrestling and judo and raising weightlifting records beyond human limits.

The award ceremony has been set to be held on February 18, the seventh day of the first lunar month, in Monaco, the world's second smallest country.

Meng Fan, as an athlete nominated for two awards, was of course invited to the award ceremony, and he was able to bring several people to participate, as for whether he won the award, this is really not as sure as the domestic Laureus Top 10, after all, there are two shortlisted for the two awards, whether in terms of commercial value or popularity, In terms of influence, it is only higher than Meng Fan, although the hardware of a single Olympic Games is a very big chip, you can't say 100% that this hardware must be overpowered by winning the Nth tennis Grand Slam or the Nth golf cup or winning the Nth F1 championship.

It is really unknown whether he can win the award, but Meng Fan, one of the six candidates, has a probability of more than 20% in each award. However, it is not too high, after all, Laureus loves tennis, golf and F1, followed by track and field, swimming and football, and it is really difficult to win a prize in lifting and wrestling. If it weren't for Meng Fan's spanning of the three major events, it would be difficult to nominate even if he got terrible results in a single event.

Meng Fan is the first Chinese athlete to be nominated for the best male athlete of the year so far, and the first Chinese athlete to win both the best male athlete of the year and the best breakthrough of the year, which is of epoch-making significance.

In addition to supervising Meng Fan to prepare and actively participate in the award ceremony, the weightlifting and wrestling center and the entire sports federation also attach great importance to this, and also increase the possibility of Meng Fan winning the award through various channels. Although the Laureus World Awards do not have the direct endorsement of "Lobbying Law" like the North American awards, including the Oscars, they certainly have formal public relations channels.

The main content of public relations is actually to promote Meng Fan's influence on the three projects, including the promotion of the development of the three projects in China and even Asian countries and regions after winning the championship, and one point is very important, that is, charity and public welfare, and the World Laureus Sports Award is also with charity and public welfare.

I didn't know if I didn't check, I was shocked when I checked it, and I knew that Meng Fan had been doing public welfare and charity all along, whether it was the energy or financial resources invested, it was very high. Holding an animation festival is not strictly a public welfare, but it is certainly a public welfare to create scholarships and grants at the Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts, in addition to donating books, donating money, running for charity, participating in music classes and shooting public service advertisements, etc.

If it is calculated from the financial aspect, the incomplete statistics have exceeded 50 million!

In fact, Meng Fan's public welfare and charity are not very low-key, at least he is not hiding from anyone, they are all public, but his other things are too high-profile, and as soon as he appears, all kinds of popular people know, so although many people know that Meng Fan does public welfare, it is not how dazzling his business card is, so the comparison is naturally very low-key.

It's not okay to be so low-key!

At the very least, let the legendary athletes of the Lawrence World Academy know!

......

The difficulty of holding an awards ceremony is obviously much greater than Meng Fan imagined, at least it is not as simple as him making a decision and someone will do everything for him, and it will never be possible to be a hands-off shopkeeper like a concert.

First of all, the right to hold the animation festival has to run down, first to the General Administration to approve the project, and then to the place of remarks and approval, a set of procedures, Meng Fan knew how ignorant he dared to set the time for holding on February 22, the most bullish is still 8 stations and Penguin Animation Network really followed the head, and in the end it must have been approved, but in nature it only belongs to the local animation festival in Hangzhou.

Of course, the nature is regional, but it has little impact, but it is 100% impossible to get provincial or national policy support with a regional nature, which is not clear to Meng Fan, 8 stations and Penguin Animation Network are quite painful, and now I hope that after the first event, I can improve the impact and apply for a higher level.

The second is the setting of the award and the shortlisting of the works, Meng Fan first proposed the way of double recommendation in the industry and fans, the idea is really good, and the result may be good, but the process is too torturous, far from being as simple as Meng Fan imagined. During the period, there were some worse situations, such as some animation studios who bought some professional judges and fan judges to push their works in the dark, this situation is too uncontrollable, not to mention that the interests in it are so big, not to mention the bonuses provided by Meng Fan, just now the momentum of the Shanhai Animation Award is the existence of a large traffic.

There are also award presenters and performance guests, performance guests are easy to find, before this Meng Fan has finalized a lot of stars, although the time is quite early, but it is basically finalized and will not be a pigeon, and a lot of stars who do not perform but will attend to increase the weight of the award ceremony, in addition to the stars in the animation industry. Comparatively speaking, award presenters are more difficult to find.

If the award presenters are also stars in the entertainment industry, it can be and easy to find, but this is obviously not in line with Meng Fan's original intention, compared to the animation circle, it may bring traffic but it is not a healthy development posture, so you still have to find a big boss in the industry.

Meng Fan discussed with 8 stations and Penguin Animation Network, and set several directions, one is that there must be relevant officials present, the second is that a group of domestic animation industry bigwigs should be invited, and the third is that foreign bigwigs must also be invited, which includes cartoonists, animation directors, dubbing experts and even animation music masters.

The domestic ones are slightly easier to find, and the 8 stations and Penguin Animation Network come forward, and the two foreign ones will definitely have to get started, and Meng Fan will definitely have to find someone.
