Chapter 181: The Great News of the Death Wind
Date: October 22, 1998
Venue: Shangri-La Hotel, Kowloon, Hong Kong
Event: The opening ceremony of the Hong Kong Chapter of the Children's Angel Foundation (China) and the signing ceremony of hiring Mr. Liu Dehua as the global image spokesperson of "Grim Reaper".
At 5 p.m., a huge spray painting 20 meters wide and 50 meters long hung from the top floor of the Shangri-La Hotel.
The large spray painting depicts a portrait of the Grim Reaper dressed in a black-clad samurai outfit, his hands clenching the hilt of his sword, the tip of the sword hanging down to the ground, revealing only his back. There are also two lines of big red letters on a white background on it:
"We are feared because we are gone, and we are admired because we are gone—brothers Liu Dehua and Chen Lin worked together to create China's first magical comic masterpiece, Death. On November 1st, Hong Kong in China, Tokyo in Japan, Seoul in South Korea, and New York in the United States shocked the first four countries. ”
Whether it is passing by or coming to the hotel to participate in the event, the guests and reporters were attracted by the huge spray painting hanging on the hotel.
While they were amazed and inevitably wondered, they were invited to attend the opening ceremony of the Children's Angel Foundation. Why is the propaganda slogan hanging outside really a cartoon?
Not only that, but every guest is given a copy of the Grim Reaper comic book when they enter the hotel.
What kind of plane is Jade Emperor Entertainment Group? With this doubt, they walked into the lobby on the fourth floor of the hotel one after another.
The spacious hall on the fourth floor, which can accommodate 1,000 people, is already full, and the whole hall is full of stars, and you can see many stars at any glance.
Look at Zhou Xingchi, Zeng Zhiwei, Xie Xian, Huang Rihua, He Jiajing, Wu Zongxian, Wu Qilong, all popular superstars in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
A bunch of stars in the middle are not inferior, they are naturally the Jade Emperor stars headed by Nicholas Tse, and then look at the stars on the left are mainland celebrities, such as Cui Yongyuan, Li Youbin, Zhang Guoli, etc.
Well, this small hall brings together the essence of stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. Jade Emperor Entertainment: What is this trying to do? Do you have a Spring Festival Gala? Is it enough for a charitable foundation to be set up?
At 6 o'clock, Chen Lin and Yu Yu, the two heads of the Jade Emperor Entertainment Group, appeared on the rostrum together, and everyone in the hall fell silent.
The opening ceremony of the Hong Kong Chapter of the Children's Angel Foundation (China) began.
First of all, Chen Lin, as the master of ceremonies of the ceremony, made a simple opening remarks, welcoming nearly 1,000 guests and dozens of reporters and friends to cheer.
After his speech, Chen Lin briefly introduced the purpose of the establishment of the Children's Angel Foundation to the guests, and then he changed the topic and talked about a major project that the Foundation is running - "Sunshine Hope Project".
One of the projects of the so-called "Sunshine Hope Project" is the sale of the "Grim Reaper" comic book, in which every dollar sold in China, the United States, South Korea and Japan is donated to the foundation to help out-of-school children so that they can go to school.
I see. I said how there was a comic book advertisement hanging outside, and everyone present suddenly realized.
At this time, Chen Lin had an extra comic book in his hand, he gently raised the book in his hand to everyone, and said with a smile: "The comic book that everyone and I are holding in our hands is the first domestic magic comic created by Juntian Imaging Studio. ”
Everyone couldn't help but look at the book in their hands, not to mention that the texture of the paper and the pattern on the cover are still very exquisite, so I don't know if the content of the road is good?
"You might as well open the front page of the comic book and take a closer look at who the protagonist Lu Xiaotian looks like?"
"Hey, it's very similar to Liu Dehua."
"Ha Lu Ha. Everyone's eyesight is still very good, in fact, not only the protagonist, but all the characters in the comics have real character prototypes. You might as well keep turning the pages and see who else you can find? ”
After listening to Chen Lin's reminder, everyone became interested, and couldn't help but turn a few more pages. Soon, many people at the scene cried out as if they had discovered a new continent.
Like Lin Zhiling, Fan Bingbing, and several Jade Emperor stars were recognized.
"It's a great idea to create comic characters based on real celebrities."
Everyone started talking about it, and this combination of live-action and comics was really eye-catching. It's very new and interesting.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Chen Lin and Yu Yu looked at each other and smiled, and the sales of the "Grim Reaper" comic book was a step forward. This is still an appetizer, and the main course will be served naturally.
Liu Dehua, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, suddenly appeared on the rostrum without saying hello.
"Hello everyone. I'm Liu Dehua. Only when Liu Tianwang opened his mouth to greet him with a smile did the people in the hall react.
"Papapa" everyone gave thunderous applause to this respected Chinese idol.
After Liu Tianwang introduced himself, he graciously handed over the control of the scene to the emcee Chen Lin.
"Everyone, please be quiet, on behalf of Jade Emperor Entertainment Group Co., Ltd., I solemnly hire Mr. Andy Lau as the global image spokesperson of "Death". Chen Lin announced loudly, his voice spreading through the entire hall, and everyone could hear it clearly.
As soon as he finished speaking, three emcee ladies walked up to the rostrum, two of them carrying a long sign covered with red silk cloth, and the other holding two documents in their hands.
Interestingly, it's rare to be a spokesperson for a book. Everyone watched quietly with interest, and they didn't know what secrets were hidden under the red silk cloth.
Chen Lin smiled slightly and unveiled the mystery, and the long sign read: "From now until December 31, 2001, Mr. Liu Dehua is specially hired as the global image spokesperson of "Death", with an endorsement amount of 15,000,000."
One zero, two zeros, six zeros. Wow~~15 million.
Everyone couldn't help but marvel, the reason why they were amazed was not because of Liu Tianwang's worth, but because it was outrageous for a comic book to open such a high endorsement fee.
It's not outrageous, but it's very outrageous, how many copies do you have to sell for 15 million to make it back?
Is that Lin always crazy on the podium? No, everyone themselves rejected this idea, and from past experience, this guy proved right every time he did something.
Why should a comic book do this? Can't figure it out, can't figure it out.
No matter what everyone thinks, one thing is certain, that is, the comic book "Grim Reaper" has left a mark on their hearts, and everyone began to have curiosity in their hearts, and decided to go back and take a good look at this comic book like Chen Lin Dangbao.
hasn't recovered from the sky-high comic book endorsement, and then there was another twist on the scene. Liu Tianwang suddenly announced that all the 15 million endorsement fees he received would be donated to the Children's Angel Foundation.
Everyone suddenly heard this and couldn't help but be stunned, and looked blankly at the etiquette lady presenting the two documents. "Brush, brush!" Liu Dehua signed his name on the two donation documents.
"Where's everyone's applause!"
Chen Lin woke everyone up with a shout, so the deafening applause resounded in the hall, and the applause lasted for two minutes, which showed that everyone admired Liu Tianwang's loving action.
Since then, Liu Tianwang's role has come to an end, and the protagonists are finally in the turn of several mysterious guests.
Yes, there are four mystery guests waiting in the back for half an hour, and it's time for them to make an appearance.
So with everyone's eyes wide open, the four heavyweight guests of the night finally appeared: George. Herbert. Walker. Bush. Laura. Welch, Zha Liangyong, Liu Changle.
The four of them walked onto the rostrum, Chen Lin, Liu Dehua and Yu Yu next to them hurriedly and respectfully gave up the middle position to George. Herbert. Walker. Mr. Bush, followed by Mr. Zha Liangyong, Laura Bush. Welch, Liu Changle.
Who is this foreigner in the middle? is so bullish that even Mr. Jin Yong can only stand next to him?
"Ahh Suddenly, Wu Xiaoli, a senior news reporter of Phoenix TV, shouted, looked at the old foreign man on the stage in disbelief, and opened her mouth wide to say a name that startled everyone - President Bush.
"Oh my God. It's not true, I'm dazzled. Obviously, someone at the scene recognized Bush Sr., but apparently the brother didn't believe his gaze.
"Good evening, I'm George. Herbert. Walker. Bush. A cowboy from Texas, USA, is excited to be here in the beautiful Pearl of the Orient. ”
George. Herbert. Walker. Bush, the 41st president of the United States, that cute old man who likes to ride a bicycle in the streets and alleys of Beijing without any trouble?
Now everyone heard it clearly. This is really the real president of the United States!
Big news, damn it, what are you doing in a daze. Hurry up and take pictures~
"Click"
For a while, no other sound could be heard in the hall except for the sound of pressing the shutter of the camera, and it was only when Chen Lin reminded everyone again that thunderous applause rang out.
This time, the applause lasted for 5 minutes, and if it wasn't for Chen Lin's gesture to make everyone stop, it would have kept ringing.
Next Laura. Welch introduced herself, and everyone learned that this dignified foreign lady was the chairman of the foundation and the son-in-law of George H.W. Bush.
As for Mr. Jin Yong and Mr. Liu Changle of Phoenix Satellite TV, there is no need to introduce them again.
Next, Ms. Laura, the President of the Foundation, announced the official establishment of the Hong Kong Chapter of the Children's Angel Foundation (China).
The last and most important event of the ceremony was that Mr. Bush Sr. personally conferred Mr. Zha Liangyong, Mr. Liu Dehua, Mr. Liu Changle and Mr. Chen Lin as the four honorary directors of the Children's Angel Foundation.
It turns out that although he is already a director, he has not participated in the formal award ceremony since he returned to China, and this time he is making up for it.
After the ceremony, Ms. Laura, the President of the Foundation, was honored to announce to all the guests the nine honorary directors of the Foundation, namely: George H.W. Bush, Laura, and Michael. Jackson, Jin Yong, Andy Lau, Liu Changle, Chen Lin, Yu Yu.
Everyone thought they had enough of being surprised tonight, but when they heard the list, they still felt dizzy and shocked again.
They swore that what happened tonight would never be forgotten for a long, long time afterward.
So far, the listing ceremony of the Hong Kong Chapter of the Children's Angel Foundation (China) and the signing ceremony of hiring Mr. Liu Dehua as the global image spokesperson of "Death" have come to a perfect conclusion.
So far, the "Grim Reaper" comic has also spread rapidly in China with this shocking ceremony.
At this point, people have once again seen the strong background of Jade Emperor Entertainment, and the prestige of Chen Lin and his wife in China has risen again, and no one regards this young couple as juniors anymore. (To be continued......)
