A few days ago, Beijing Xinglu Fengcai International Education Consulting Company issued a statement in the name of the National Organizing Committee of the "Star of Hope English Style Conference", saying that it would stop business cooperation with Mr. Zhao Yinqi from now on, and Zhao Yinqi would no longer participate in any business management work operated by Beijing Xinglu Fengcai International Education Consulting Co., Ltd.
The statement also stressed that the "Xiyu Festival" founded by Zhao Yinqi and organized by Beijing Xiyuhui International Education Technology Co., Ltd. has nothing to do with the "21st "Star of Hope" Style Conference" and invites students and parents to participate cautiously.
The reason why Beijing Xinglu Fengcai International Education Consulting Company issued a statement is that its former partner Zhao Yinqi started a new stove. At the end of August, an annual youth English event called the "Greek Language Festival" was officially launched. The producer of the "Greek Festival" program is Zhao Yinqi, the host and producer of CCTV's "Star of Hope" English Style Contest.
It is said that the "Star of Hope" has been held once a year since 2000, and has been successfully held for 20 sessions since then, and has cooperated with international organizations such as the 2008 Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, the World Wide Fund for Nature, the Shanghai World Expo, and the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympic Organizing Committee. The participating students are spread across all provinces, municipalities directly under the Central Government and autonomous regions in China, affecting more than 100 million people.
With the influence of the "Star of Hope", the "Greek Language Festival" began to promote enrollment in many provinces across the country, and its name is the 21st "Hope Star" and Greek Language Festival in 2020. This has led to strong dissatisfaction from the organizer of the "Star of Hope English Style Conference", Beijing Xinglu Style International Education Consulting Company.
However, Zhao Yinqi immediately responded strongly, and zhao Yinqi was really a "star of hope".
Zhao Yinqi pointed out in the statement: Since 2016, Singlu Style Company has had a negative impact on the brand and personal reputation of Star of Hope in the process of operating the Star of Hope English Style Competition, which is completely contrary to the original intention of cooperation with Starway Company. At the same time, I hope that students, parents and teachers will see which side is the real star of hope.
Beijing Xinglu Fengcai International Education Consulting Company and Zhao Yinqi have their own opinions, which makes it difficult to distinguish between true and false for a while. In fact, the development of "Hope Star" is inseparable from the "endorsement" of CCTV. However, the current "Star of Hope" has long since lost the CCTV prefix.
It is said that many years ago, due to internal reasons, CCTV decided to suspend the "Star of Hope". Taking this opportunity, Zhao Yinqi and other former CCTV "Star of Hope" team continued the "Star of Hope" brand through relevant channels. This is why the "Star of Hope" did not have the word CCTV and was renamed "Star of Hope" English Style Conference, "Greek Language Festival" and other names.
In fact, the brand and trademark of "Hope Star" are still owned by CCTV in principle. Whether it is Beijing Xinglu Style International Education Consulting Company or Zhao Yinqi, it is only deliberately confusing the relationship between CCTV's "Hope Star" and their respective "Hope Star English Style Conference" and "Greek Language Festival", which still gives students and parents the feeling that they are still CCTV's "Hope Star".
At the end of last year, the Shandong Provincial Department of Education issued a public announcement saying that education administrative departments at all levels, primary and secondary schools and primary and secondary school teachers must not organize students to participate in the "Star of Hope" style competition. The reason for this is that the activity has not been filed with the national or provincial education department and has not been approved by the national and provincial education departments.
At present, the "Star of Hope English Style Conference" is recruiting provincial-level organizers to promote the 21st "Star of Hope" English Style Conference. According to official promotional materials, "the 'Star of Hope' English Style Conference was transformed from the original Hope-English Magazine program, and since it was first held in 2000, it has been successfully held for 20 sessions, with a cumulative impact of more than 100 million." ”
