Chapter 86: Ice Show
He Hui was not joking when he said he was planning to hold an ice show.
But the key problem now is that she really does not have the funds to hold an ice show. Miss He, who has always lived without any financial pressure, has no other income except the small amount of competition prize money.
He Jianmu did what he said and directly cancelled the original credit card's secondary card.
Ding Dong——
He Hui was just about to go to the ice rink when a text message popped up on her cell phone.
The content of the text message was that the supplementary card of his credit card was frozen.
He Hui looked at the text message and snorted coldly: "Even if it doesn't stop, I won't use it, okay?"
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaoman admired He Hui's momentum of going to the ice rink every day regardless of the season or the off-season, and he always came to the ice rink without fail.
But now, He Hui looks... angry?
"Who offended our Miss He?" Lin Xiaoman asked with a smile.
"My dad."
"Your father?" Lin Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, "Secrets of a wealthy family?"
He Hui's mouth twitched: "Sister Lin, do you usually secretly read the domineering CEO novel?"
Lin Xiaoman chuckled and changed the subject: "Then what's wrong with you?"
"I wanted to hold an ice show, but my father didn't support it. He suspended my card and told me to do it on my own." He Hui summed up the whole story succinctly.
"Huh?" Lin Xiaoman felt that this was quite strange.
"So, Sister Lin, do you have any opportunity to make money quickly?" He Hui asked while warming up.
The eldest lady suddenly came to her senses and decided to make money. Lin Xiaoman raised her eyebrows unconsciously.
"Yes." Lin Xiaoman said frankly, "The national team has received a lot of endorsements waiting for your approval, and there should be some notices and magazines. In addition, the Beijing Winter Olympics application was successful, and some companies are preparing to enter the winter sports field."
He Hui took a deep breath.
"If you change your mind, I think both the national team and the provincial team will be very happy." Lin Xiaoman continued.
He Hui took another deep breath.
Well, isn't it just bowing to money? In order to let that short-sighted father see what he is capable of, what does He Hui think of accepting endorsements and appearing in announcements? !
"Okay." He Hui nodded.
"Are you serious?"
"Anything that makes money is a just cause."
Lin Xiaoman suddenly felt that the person in front of her was a little strange.
He Hui, who had never accepted endorsements, appeared on TV shows or shot magazines, suddenly gave in, and an atmosphere of joy spread throughout the national and provincial teams.
Zhu Jianyong was particularly excited and held Lin Xiaoman's hand tightly, "You actually convinced Miss He? Xiaoman, you are really the best coach!"
Lin Xiaoman smiled and pulled her hand out: "I didn't convince you."
Zhu Jianyong rubbed his empty hands: "Don't be modest!"

He Hui looked at the dazzling array of endorsement proposals and the thick stack of contracts of intent, and felt the reality of his own popularity.
From another perspective, He Hui feels that his ice show should not be in a situation where tickets cannot be sold and thus suffer huge losses.
He Hui carefully spent time and effort to do background checks on a bunch of invitations, and selected three categories and brands before reporting his decision to Lin Xiaoman.
Lin Xiaoman glanced at it and joked, "Aren't you short of money? Why don't you take a few more?"
"I want to choose some good invitations, and I don't want to work myself to death." He Hui said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoman: “That’s right.”
The brands He Hui chose for invitations were all big brands, either well-known internationally or highly popular in China, with little negative news. But most importantly, they paid very quickly, not only was the contract amount high, but the deposit was received in seconds.
He Hui looked at the gradually increasing numbers on his bank card and felt that he was one step closer to successfully slapping his father in the face.
After learning that Miss He had suddenly changed her mind, the brand was even more afraid that she would go back on her word, so they signed the filming contract within a week and then announced the big news directly on social media.
"(Dumbfounded) Why did the girl suddenly accept the endorsement?"
"It doesn't matter!! Mom will unconditionally support the endorsement of Nv Goose, and has already added it to the shopping cart! Don't mention it, I often buy this brand of sparkling water before, and I feel that it has 0 sugar and 0 calories, no burden!"
"The girl is so awesome!! But I feel like she's going to do something big~"
After the first brand was officially announced, He Hui’s other two partners could no longer sit still and urged He Hui to shoot the commercial as soon as possible.
He Hui entered a non-stop working mode and experienced the celebrity schedule of catching up on sleep in the nanny car.
The makeup artist was very sweet. While applying makeup to He Hui, she sighed: "You look better than some of the celebrities I have made up. I think if you become an actor, you can become famous with this face."
The experiential life these days has made He Hui more determined about the path he wants to take in the future.
So He Hui quickly declined: "No."
"That's a shame."
The makeup artist wasn't the only one who persuaded He Hui to change her career.
He Hui's last announcement was a new limited edition eyeshadow from a cosmetics brand. The eyeshadow color was not considered normal enough for everyday use, and the eyeliner was high and flying, but it didn't look strange on He Hui's face.
The photographer felt that she had great expressiveness in front of the camera, especially her control over her body muscles and facial expressions.
Click, click——
The photographer pressed the shutter button continuously until it felt like sparks were about to appear.
“You might really become a famous star.” The photographer concluded while looking at the pictures on the computer.
"Really not." He Hui declined for the second time.
After filming the commercial, He Hui sat on the sofa to rest. She felt that this was much more tiring than skating.
"Hello, I'm Deng Wei, the marketing manager." A man dressed in fashionable clothes and with exquisite makeup walked up to He Hui and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
After some greetings, Deng Wei turned his gaze to Lin Xiaoman who accompanied him.
"Coach Lin, don't worry. Our advertising has a wide coverage area and will also have a positive publicity effect on our figure skating team." Deng Wei said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoman was originally leaning against the wall observing the filming scene, but she stood up straight when she saw Deng Wei looking for her.
"Really? Thank you." But to be honest, she was not interested in marketing and did not understand the value of it. "Actually, you can talk to He Hui directly."
Deng Wei was turned away and turned to He Hui again with a wry smile.
"Don't worry, our marketing department is very professional."
Just a professional empty-headed reply would not pass He Hui's test. Deng Wei's words were exactly the same as those of the incomprehensible directors on the board of directors in his previous life.
She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Have you matched the promotion options with the target user groups? What is the expected ROI?"
Deng Wei didn't expect that He Hui really understood him and that he had really met a tough guy. The smile on his face immediately froze.
"You are very professional." He replied after a long time.
He Hui glanced at him coldly, too lazy to ask any further questions.
She is not his boss, so why should she worry about the effect of the money spent? Anyway, the final payment will be transferred to her account after the filming is completed, and she will have a source of start-up funds for her ice show.
But in Deng Wei's opinion, He Hui's look made him imagine his boss's awe-inspiring attitude, and he shivered with fear.
Perhaps because he was afraid of being hit in a sore spot by He Hui again, Deng Wei didn't dare to come over and talk to him from then until the end.
After the commercial was released, He Hui inexplicably became a hot topic again.
"Isn't this girl's expressiveness a bit too strong? It feels like a blockbuster movie!!"
"I was worried that I would make my girls look weird and fashionable before, but now I find that they are really classy! I placed an order immediately!"
"I saw a large floor-to-ceiling advertisement in a shopping mall in the city center and checked in. Hehe."
*
After several announcements, He Hui finally completed his goal of making money.
The first thing He Hui did after returning to the ice rink was to stand on the ice, close his eyes and take a deep breath.
The feeling of the breeze brushing against her face and the coolness of the air invading her lungs instantly cleared her mind.
"What are you doing?" Lin Xiaoman asked, not understanding.
"I miss the taste of the ice rink." He Hui answered seriously.
“What does the ice rink smell like?”
"Hmm...what does it feel like to be able to fly freely?" He Hui answered with a question.
Lin Xiaoman shook her head.
"Mary will fly over next week to choreograph. The national team just happened to be looking for her to choreograph several dances. We can work together." She turned the topic back to the ice show. "Have you decided on the program and guests for the ice show?"
He Hui wanted to hold an ice show at the end of August, but now it is the beginning of May. It can be said that the time is tight and the task is heavy.
After solving the funding problem, He Hui, with the assistance of the national team, applied for the venue and obtained approval from the public security department.
The only remaining question now is who to find to perform, what show to perform, and whether there is any overall plan.
He Hui's own part was easily solved.
"I can show you the short program and exhibition skating for next season. The free skating needs more time to be polished, and it would be irresponsible to the audience if it is half-finished." He Hui said, "But I can show you some difficult jumps, which will definitely be worth the price of the ticket."
He Hui continued: "If the abnormal ice show is divided into the first and second half, there can be 12 programs."
"What about the guests? You haven't sent out invitations yet, right?" Lin Xiaoman shrugged. "The national team can help coordinate domestic players, and I think this is also a good opportunity for everyone. Few people will refuse."
"I have thought about this. In addition to the adult group, I plan to invite one or two youth group players."
"That's a great idea!" Lin Xiaoman nodded appreciatively. "It's a great training opportunity for these kids."
Except for a few contestants like He Hui who have a big heart and shine as soon as they appear on the stage, most of them need to experience some big scenes before they can remain calm in the face of praise or criticism.
"Are you planning to invite top players from abroad?"
He Hui nodded.
"Actually, do you think there will be hope if I ask Tours?" He Hui's idea was very straightforward. She wanted to invite the best in the women's singles event. "Well, Sanada Eriko should come to support us, right?"
Lin Xiaoman raised her eyebrows but didn't say anything against it.
"I'm looking forward to it. Please remember to save me a ticket for a good seat on the podium."
"Sure." Miss He replied with a smile.
Time was running out, so He Hui made phone calls and left messages to the guests on the invitation list one by one.
"Hatsumyo, how are you? I want to hold an ice show at the end of August, and I hope your rock music can wow the audience."
"Moshimoshi, Eriko, can you come to my ice show to help out?"
"Hey, Hardy-Irene, are you free to come to China to perform an ice show soon?"
......
Finally, He Hui's finger stopped at Turles's phone number. After a long time, she finally dialed the number.
Beep, beep, beep—
The busy tone before the call was connected made He Hui inexplicably nervous.
"He Hui?" Tours finally answered the phone.
"Turles, I'm going to hold an ice show in Beijing at the end of August. Can you come?"
There was a pause on the other end of the line.
"You know, I'm retired."
