Chapter 408 Fans are all very cute

Athletes’ basic salary is actually not high; they make money from winning competitions and brand endorsements.

Those who can make money are the top athletes in popular events.

The living environment for athletes in other minor sports and mid-level athletes is not that good.

For example, there was news a few years ago about an Olympic champion who opened a small grocery store at home after retirement, and some even set up a stall on the street.

And most of these are athletes in unpopular events.

For a gold medal, they consumed their youth in advance.

While their peers were in school, they were sweating on the training ground.

Director Xue couldn't help but take off his glasses and wipe his eyes with the corner of his clothes when he finished speaking. "I know what I said is a bit hypocritical. But I just feel sorry for those children. They are the ones who burn their lives for these sports, but the final publicity has to be handed over to others so that more people can see their efforts."

Yu Whale didn't know what to say for a moment.

This society is full of vanity, entertainment and splendor.

Only more brilliant people or things can attract the attention of the public.

"Do you think we are working in the wrong direction?" Director Xue is in charge of publicity at the sports center. He knows that the All-Star Games is an opportunity, but he inexplicably rejects this opportunity.

Yu Weiwei thought for a moment and said, "Director Xue, you don't have to be so averse to the All-Star Games. Just treat it as an opportunity or a stepping stone."

"In fact, these fans are all very lovely. They like the colorful entertainment industry, and they also like the sweat and glory of the competitive sports industry. On this point, I think you still need to adjust your mindset."

Yu Jingjing could hear it from Director Xue’s complaint just now.

This short and fat director, who sheds tears when he gets emotional, has some resentment towards today's children.

Come to think of it, it is understandable.

At Director Xue's age, when he was still fighting hard on the court, although the glory of the women's volleyball team had faded, small balls had been undefeated for many years, and football was not as tiring as it is now.

At that time, athletes were still very popular.

"Although this method is a bit tacky, it's the best I can think of for now." Yu Weiwei chuckled, "There must be some very good-looking athletes in figure skating, gymnastics, and synchronized swimming, right?"

Director Xue nodded.

Especially in figure skating, there are still requirements for athletes' appearance.

"That's easy." Yu Jingjing spread his hands, "Since these kids like to see handsome men and beautiful women, then bring out the handsome men and beautiful women among our athletes. You have to believe that athletes have their own charm, which is enough to attract the audience's attention."

That tall and straight figure alone is something that ordinary stars and idols cannot compare to.

"If you believe me, can you send me some videos of athletes winning awards? I'll do an experiment for you."

Director Xue hesitated for a few seconds and then agreed.

After all, there is no other way now, right?

He admitted that he was a bit old-fashioned, but he still hoped that it would be their athletes who could endorse these sports!

After seeing Director Xue off, He Huili was a little disapproving of Yu Jingjing's behavior.

"Having this project is enough for me. Why should I take on something that is not my responsibility?"

This is really inconsistent with the character of the whale saltfish.
