Chapter 429 A Bucket of Ice Water

August 8th, Friday, is an extremely auspicious day for China, but it is a challenging moment for Shen Fang.

The challenge this time is not only that China's kiwi fruit sent a film crew, but even the local TV station in Saipan, as well as the branches of various media in China and the United States in Saipan, all sent staff to film the sinking ice bucket challenge.

After all, this is the name of Bill Gates, the richest man in the world. Secondly, this is China’s No.1 public figure who accepts the challenge. Another Forbes official revealed that due to the rapid development of the mobile Internet, the market value of companies such as Google, Apple, Facebook, and Netflix Soaring, even Uber's market value has exceeded 300 billion, Shen Fang's net worth is conservatively estimated to have exceeded [-] billion US dollars, this net worth will surpass Jack Ma to become the richest man in mainland China.

"Mr. Gong, Mr. Bill Gates used a small mechanism designed by himself to accept the challenge yesterday. I don't know what kind of creative performance Mr. Shen will have." Kiwi's host Peng Xiaoxiao asked Gong Yu curiously.

The place where Shen Fang accepted the challenge was in the square in front of the Mount Carmel Catholic Cathedral, and there were no other facilities except a small platform.

"I don't know. I tried several times during dinner last night, but I didn't tell me." Gong Yu said to Peng Xiaoxiao angrily, "Qin Mohan didn't tell you either."

"No." Peng Xiaoxiao shook his head.The two met at Liang Hui's wedding last time. At that time, Peng Xiaoxiao was just envious of Qin Mohan. When they made friends, they would put each other on an equal footing to communicate, and sometimes even speculate when the other party would break up with Shen Fang.But now Qin Mohan even wants to flatter Gong Yu, the boss of Kiwifruit, let alone himself.

Looking at the time, Peng Xiaoxiao was about to start the live broadcast: "Hi everyone, I am Peng Xiaoxiao, the host of "Entertainment Fresh News". Invitation. The 'ALS Ice Bucket Challenge' is famous in the United States...”

Peng Xiaoxiao briefly introduced the reason for this charity challenge, and then began to get down to the topic: "This is 10:1 local time in Saipan, and [-]:[-] Yanjing time. Accept Mr. Bill Gates, the richest man in the world. Mr. Shen Fang, a well-known Chinese philanthropist and investment businessman, will be named. He will accept this challenge in [-] minutes. Yesterday, Mr. Bill Gates used a self-made and creative connecting rod device to complete this challenge, as Let us wait and see how Mr. Shen Fang, the No.[-] public figure in Huaxia who accepts this challenge, will complete the challenge."

Then-Peng Xiaoxiao began to introduce the location information of this challenge: "The location where Mr. Shen Fang accepted the 'ALS Ice Bucket Challenge' was located in the beautiful Saipan Island in the Pacific Ocean. The reason for choosing this location was Mr. Shen Fang and his team. My fiancée, Ms. Qin Mohan, is taking wedding photos here. I really envy them, the wedding photos taken on such a beautiful island must be magnificent."

"If you don't have the opportunity to land on this small island, don't worry. It is jointly produced by Kiwi and Sunshine Studio. A variety show "Slow Tour World" that introduces customs from all over the world will be available on Kiwi's variety show next week. Channel, in the first season, Qin Mohan will personally show you the beauty of Saipan."

After the welcome banquet last night, Gong Yu looked at Shen Fang with a resentful expression, and expressed his dissatisfaction with Shen Fang who gave Zhang Yiming the first roll call.Shen Fang didn't disappoint him too much, but arranged for Wang Tian to release the edited episodes of "Slow Tour the World" to Gong Yu and the production team he brought.Variety shows with stars and travel are not new. "Flowers and Boys" and "Super Challenge" are similar, but it is still the first show that calms down and introduces the scenery like "Slow Travel Around the World", and the whole person is integrated into it. see for the first time.Watching these episodes of the program, it felt as if he had traveled with Qin Mohan on this paradise-like island.

Gong Yu then negotiated with Qin Mohan and Tang Yuan in person. According to Tang Yuan's original plan, the kiwi fruit and the goose factory video would be auctioned, and the highest price would win.

Regarding the copyright fee for the first season, Tang Yuan estimated that he could reach the peak of 400 million yuan, but Gong Yu broke Tang Yuan's inner defense with a one-time exclusive broadcast fee of 600 million yuan.Kiwifruit bought out the broadcasting rights of the online platform of "Slow Travel Around the World".And if Sunshine Studio produces the second season, Kiwi Fruit Company hopes to participate in the whole process, and promises to be responsible for half of the production cost, but Tang Yuan and Qin Mohan are still considering it.

In Qin Mohan and Tang Yuan's vision, the first season is a gathering of fame. If they can find a TV station to cooperate with, they still hope to be broadcast on the stars.After all, in 2014, people's first choice of viewing media is still TV stations, and the status of the four major TV stations will not be challenged by online media for a while.

When communicating with Gong Yu, Qin Mohan discovered a profit point that he hadn't considered before. This variety show introducing foreign beauty can completely set a benchmark through the first season.After all, this is a variety show that introduces the beauty of foreign countries to attract Chinese people to travel. You can contact some overseas embassies in China, such as Greece, Thailand, Indonesia and other countries with developed tourism industries, and the other party will send invitations and provide full travel expenses. Let's make a promotion.

When Qin Mohan and Shen Fang talked about this at night, Shen Fang said: "You can ask Gong Yu and the others for advice on this, and see how to promote it to these foreign organizations in China. They are elites in the Internet industry, What they are best at is packaging themselves and telling stories, and through a story, you can make your investment willingly. Therefore, they are more professional in how to package this variety show.”

It was about ten o'clock, and Shen Fang, who was wearing a shirt and trousers, appeared in front of everyone with his arm around Qin Mohan, who was wearing a light green gauze skirt and a sun hat.

Shen Fang came to the media interview area and gave a short speech: "Friends from the media present, as well as countless netizens who watched this event through live webcast, good morning everyone, it is a great honor to receive the invitation from Mr. Bill Gates, Participate in the 'ALS Ice Bucket Challenge', a charity challenge for global patients with ALS. Before today's challenge, I will donate 100 million US dollars to the initiator of this activity, the 'ALS Public Welfare Association', with In the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with ALS. At the same time, I will also donate RMB 1000 million to the ALS project of Huaxia "Porcelain Doll Rare Disease Care Fund" through the "Huaxia Aiyou Charity Foundation" as a treatment and rehabilitation for patients with ALS. Special endowment funds for rehabilitation.”

Shen Fang's statement was applauded by the media present, and received a hug from Father Carl of the Mount Carmel Catholic Cathedral. Father Carl said that if Shen held a wedding at the Mount Carmel Catholic Church, he would personally preside over them .

It has been a month since golfer Corey Griffin accepted the "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge" for the first time on July 7. The one-time donation of 15 million US dollars should be the largest donation received by the "ALS Public Welfare Association".

If it weren't for the fear of attracting resistance from other public figures, Shen Fang would have prepared to donate more. This year, his net worth has soared by 30%, and he needs to pay a lot of taxes, and he has no extra expenses in the United States recently, so he has to choose to do charity.

Shen Fang's Ice Bucket Challenge didn't have any special equipment, but a proud Qin Mohan carried a bucket of ice water onto the platform and poured Shen Fang thoroughly from top to bottom.

Shen Fang, who was drenched all over, completed the challenge. Qin Mohan hurriedly brought the towel from the side and wiped the water off his head.

"Don't move around." Avoiding his arms that were about to hug him, Qin Mohan said angrily, "You're covered in water, don't get my clothes wet." Qin Mohan was wearing a cool gauze skirt today. It will be easy to get lost in front of you.

Qin Mohan's words reminded Shen Fang that instead of giving her a hug, he held her face in his hands and gave her a kiss.The act of love between the two caused a lot of cheers from the media area.

Now let's start the most critical moment. As Huaxia's No.1 public figure accepting the challenge, his roll call will bring a lot of attention to the opponent.

"I have accepted the 'ALS Ice Bucket Challenge', and I will name a few of my good friends to accept the follow-up challenge: Mr. Zhang Yiming from Character Beat, Ms. Liang Hui from Chengxing Tianxia, ​​and Mr. Wang Xiaocong from Pusi Investment. I have Finished, waiting for your challenge." Then Shen posted the video of this challenge and his name callers on his Weibo.

Shen Fang's roll call this time was a little unexpected. Everyone thought he would call Qin Mohan to help his girlfriend increase the popularity, but he didn't expect him to call Liang Hui.This caused Liang Hui, who was filming "Little Times" in Shanghai, to immediately receive interview requests from many media, hoping to get her challenged live broadcast right.

Seeing the live broadcast of Shen Fang's successful challenge, Rebus, the president of Xiaomi, couldn't help but want to scold her.I paid a huge amount of favors to get the Russian rich man Yuri Milner to invite me, and then let the PR department of Xiaomi company prepare to take the opportunity to win the title of "China's No. [-] Ice Bucket Challenge", but was rejected. Put it first.

Seeing that Bill Gates named Shen Fang yesterday, Rebs had already advanced the originally planned challenge from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] am, but he did not expect that the time zone of Saipan where Shen Fang was located was two hours earlier than Huaxia. The challenge was completed at eight o'clock Yanjing time.No matter how much I adjust, I can't adjust it to before eight o'clock, otherwise my body will not be able to bear the bucket of ice water poured down early in the morning.This is called one step behind, one step behind, and one has already missed the opportunity.

"Mr. Lei, we still have a chance." Xu Haoyun, the manager of the public relations department, watched the video of Shen Fang's challenge repeatedly, and said to Rebs: "The location of Shen Fang's challenge is in Saipan, which belongs to the territory of the United States. We can promote the time in China. The No.1 public figure who completes the challenge should attract some attention. At worst, he can file a lawsuit, and he can be fired in the end. Do you think it will work?"

Rebs feels that things can be done. Before the official publicity, there is another department-level leader on the Internet from Liu Yihu, the president of OnePlus Mobile. He completed the challenge at 10:1 [-] minutes ahead of schedule, and also publicized that he is The No.[-] public figure in China who completed the "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge" suffocated Rebs' blood in his throat.

Of course, this is just self-hype of the two domestic companies.As China's No.1 complete challenger, and was named by the world's richest man Bill Gates, Shen Fang's challenge caused a great sensation on the Internet and became a hot topic of the day.That night, CCTV's "News Network" used video materials of Kiwifruit for official reports.Shen Fang's donation of 1000 million yuan to the "Porcelain Doll Rare Disease Care Fund" ALS project was also named and praised by Xinhua News Agency's official Weibo.
