Chapter 99 IAAF Gold League
Taking advantage of the huge influence of China CCTV's "News Broadcast", Zhang Huasong got up on August 28 and saw the popularity list of Chinese stars, and he indeed entered the middle of the second-tier Chinese stars.
Moreover, it was on the Asian Star List.
The lowest Asian star popularity list is third-tier, and Zhang Huasong has not met the requirements for being on the list before.
The final the night before yesterday was finally on the list after live TV broadcasts from Asian countries and a day of accumulation yesterday. However, the international celebrity popularity list has not yet been on the list, and Zhang Huasong is not popular enough around the world.
Moreover, Zhang Huasong's reputation soared by several million, and his available reputation and total reputation both exceeded 10 million.
Host: Zhang Huasong
Age: 20 years old
Reputation: 10.765 million/12.072 million
Skill: 100-meter sprint (9.7 seconds), never forget
Star rating: Second-tier stars (China), Third-tier stars (Asia)
There are 50 places for the second-tier stars on the celebrity popularity list, 20 places for the first-tier superstars, and 10 places for the superstars.
In other words, after a World Championship, Zhang Huasong has entered the top 80 Chinese stars.
Moreover, Zhang Huasong is ranked second-tier mid-tier and has actually entered the top 50.
There are also many film and television stars, sketch comedians, magic masters, variety show hosts, writers, etc. in the entertainment industry who have accumulated many years of popularity. Zhang Huasong is ranked in the top 50 in the country after a World Championships and is already a big star.
Many celebrities have acted in several popular TV series or movies, but none of them are ranked higher than Zhang Huasong's current current.
Look, those brokerage companies or independent brokers who are trying to sign a contract with Zhang Huasong have begun to let go, saying that the commission ratio can be discussed again.
However, Zhang Huasong was not in a hurry to rely on their agency to help release records, act in film and television dramas, and receive notices. Therefore, Zhang Huasong was not in a hurry and told them to talk to them after returning to China after the World Championships.
In the next few days, Zhang Huasong followed the national teammates during the day to cheer for other Chinese athletes participating in the competition and read books and study at night.
On August 29, a movie starring a superstar who has been famous in China for more than 30 years was released. The media and the general public were instantly attracted to the new movie of the king. The news that Zhang Huasong broke the record and won the championship began to cool down, and the speed of gaining reputation and popularity has been greatly reduced.
Zhang Huasong also understands this. Celebrities must maintain exposure. His game has ended and the hot topics have passed. It is natural to be replaced by other celebrities' news. It is definitely impossible to go to the news every day.
Then, on August 31, Liu Xiang won the championship with a time of 12.95 seconds in the 110-meter hurdles final, winning the second gold medal in the World Championships for the Chinese team, and also completing his personal Olympic champion, World Championships and world record-breaking Grand Slam achievements. This was the front page of major domestic news and overwhelming the limelight of the superstar.
However, it only took one day, and the next day, Liu Xiang’s news was overwhelmed by others.
This king has been famous for decades, with countless classic movies and songs. It can be said that Zhang Huasong, who grew up watching other people's movies and listening to other people's songs. Liu Xiang and Zhang Huasong just mingled in the track and field industry and could not shake the status of other people's superstars.
Another Chinese 110-meter hurdle player, Shi Dongpeng, also performed well and ranked fifth in the final.
On September 2, 2007, the final of the last event of the 11th International Athletics Federation World Track and Field Championships came to an end at the Changju Stadium, Japan. The Chinese National Track and Field Team only achieved 2 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze.
Two gold medals, the men's 100-meter sprint from Zhang Huasong and Liu Xiang's 110-meter hurdler, the silver medal comes from women's marathon player Zhou Chunxiu, and the bronze medal comes from women's hammer player Zhang Wenxiu.
The Stars and Stripes, the number one in the gold medal list, has 14 gold medals, with a total of 26 medals, which is almost 7 times that of the Chinese team.
Asian countries, including China, are indeed far from the world's powerful countries in the field of track and field.
However, among the Asian countries, only China won two gold medals, while other Asian countries did not win a single gold medal.
As the host, Japan Kingdom has the advantage of home court, but only won a bronze medal alone. It can only look at the two world-wide sport Zhang Huasong and Liu Xiang, who can only watch China, are envious and jealous.
What is most surprising is that under the high temperature of the big board, track and field athletes from all over the world are even unable to perform normally, and few people can perform well. Zhang Huasong's new record of 9.76 seconds for men's 100-meter 100-meters has become the only new world record set at this year's World Track and Field Championships.
So, Zhang Huasong’s news was hyped up by the media again.
After all the competitions and award ceremony were completed, Zhang Huasong also received the prize money for this World Championship, with a total of US$160,000 in winning prizes and record-breaking prizes.
This money does not need to be taxed. After returning to China, it is exchanged into RMB and handed over 5% to the national team. All the rest is Zhang Huasong.
According to the 2007 Blue Star RMB exchange rate against the US dollar, after handing over 5% to the national team, Zhang Huasong still had 1.1 million yuan left.
He became a millionaire in one game. For Zhang Huasong, who came from the mountainous countryside of Qianzhou Province, he became rich overnight.
Although the system gave him the glorious prospects of Lao Ganma, Tencent Group, it is unknown how long it will take for a company to grow to that level. The more than 1 million cash in the pocket now is the most realistic.
In addition to receiving the winning prize for breaking the record, Zhang Huasong also received an invitation from the IAAF to invite him to participate in the remaining IAAF Golden League this year.
As the most popular male 100-meter world record holder, Zhang Huasong's attention and commercial value are very high.
Therefore, if he participates in this IAAF Golden League, he will receive a $80,000 appearance fee per stop. Moreover, the winning prize and record-breaking prize are $60,000 and $100,000 respectively, just like the World Championships.
Of course, only the men's 100-meter world record holder can get such a high appearance fee, so the contestants in other events will be much lower, and there will not even be any appearance fee.
If Zhang Huasong's record is broken by others, the appearance fee that belongs to the man's 100-meter world record holder belongs to others. Zhang Huasong's appearance fee must be significantly lowered according to the world ranking.
Although the appearance fee and bonus are very tempting, after the World Championships, Zhang Huasong will return to China to participate in the national team's celebration meeting, go back to school to report, discuss his own independent study plan with the school, and negotiate a contract with the agency or independent agent.
The most important thing is that he was in very bad shape in the final of this World Championships. He tried his best to break the record. He was very tired and could not participate in such high-intensity world-class competitions for a short time. He needed to recuperate for a while.
Therefore, Zhang Huasong asked about the specific time of the remaining Golden League this year, he did not participate in the few games that were too close. He chose to participate in the 2007 IAAF Annual Finals held in Stuttgart, Germany on September 23, and the IAAF Golden League Shanghai Station Competition held in Shanghai City, China on September 28.
The Shanghai City Station competition is the last track and field competition that Zhang Huasong can participate in this year. The mountain running, road running, race walking finals, and World Military Games have nothing to do with Zhang Huasong.
All the World Championships in the Big Board ended. After the closing ceremony, on the morning of September 3, all the coaches and athletes of the Chinese team took the opportunity to return to China together.
Chapter completed!
