ZJK is a big superstar in China. I wish all top TT players of their respective countries had same status.
ZJK is extra ordinary imo.
His personalty (bad boy) also makes it more likeable by the fans I think
Go back 1 decade, the 2 wang and 1 ma, never really got celebrity status
In fact, through out CNT men's history, no one had so much glory as ZJK
KLH maybe was the closes with "ladies favourite"
To be frank, I would like to see ZJK's popularity turns into some real money. Commercials from top brands please.
Kong Linghui, Liu Guoliang, Wang Liqin and so on have commercials not only before retirement. They have commercials after retirement. Don't underestimate their popularity. Liu Guoliang has showed up in many popular variety shows after Rio, Those variety shows are way much popular than the ones ZJK attended, especially the one in which he got the foot injury.
In the contrary, when Zhang Jike showed up in Shanghai auto show yesterday, the other not-so-popular CNT players continued their closed training in Shenzhen. There is a new photo wall of the major rivals for WTTC, 7 in 1st-tier this time.
Hey rainevernever , when ever something is posted about zjk's fame or popularity or what ever I know that you're gonna show up and put him under a question mark!! well he's so famous and everybody loves him and care about him . This auto exhibition is one of the best indeed that honored to have zjk in there .. . As i ask my chinese friends the programs which zjk is participating are so popular and zjk's eposites become most watched ones in their history of broad casting . And I'm sure no other CNT player's commercials can be more than zjk and if they had more commercial,so tell me what was the effect ?? really nothing . .chinese media tells something deffernet than you tell . maybe not in your favour .
When you could be playing table tennis right now but you have to attend a car exhibition

It is the era of social media now but how do you evaluate Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui, Wang Liqin's popularity 10 years or 20 years ago when social media like Sina Weibo even not existed? At that time, people watched TV and read newspaper, not counting everything and talking everything on social media.
In terms of Sina Weibo, Liu Guoliang has 1.5 million Weibo followers since he opened his Weibo account last Sep. Kong Linghui stopped using Weibo in 2013, with 0.45 million followers (Zhang Jike had about that many followers 1 year ago). But as I said before, the number of Weibo followers says nothing of real popularity among real people. Do you think Liu Guoliang is more popular than Kong Linghui, based on the number of Weibo followers?
And I have said many times that Zhang Jike is popular and he is more popular than other current CNT players. But what surprises me is that I do not see the "cash-out" of the popularity. Why do you care about the media coverage but not commercials and appearances in top TV programs? Those are real money and real impact from. Give you an example, the second popular Chinese male swimmer based on Sina Weibo follower numbers and media coverage, Ning Zetao (8 million followers; #1 is Sun Yang, 32 million followers, London 2 gold/1 silver/1 bronze and Rio 1 gold/1 silver medalists) who did not win any medal in Rio Olympic Games and recently was kicked out of national team, showed up in Adidas new commercial along with the captain of women's volleyball team (China got women's volleyball gold in Rio). However, there is no new commercial of Zhang Jike from Anta Sports after Rio. Zhang Jike is one of Anta's brand spokespeople since Nov 2013. FYI, Kong Linghui used to be Anta's brand spokesperson and made Anta #1 Chinese sports brand in 2000. Sun Yang attended many variety shows after Rio as and do you really want to compare the popularity and view numbers between the shows Sun Yang attended and Zhang Jike attended?
If you think it is nonsense to compare a swimmer and a TT player, although Zhang Jike is the most popular male athlete in 2016 according to Sina Weibo and more popular than Sun Yang and Ning Zetao, I've told you Liu Guoliang attended more popular variety shows and Ma Long had Audi commercials. Can you explain me why?
I think you guys are taking raineverever post too seriously, let's just be all friends

Are you actually comparing sports with huge popularity over the world with table tennis to prove a point about revenue and income?? Tell me one good reason on why adidas or nike or any big western athletic company should invest money on TT stars.
How about coca cola china?WHo else inside the cnt had their face on the bottles? Isnt that enough money for you?
As i know zhang jike was people's favorite even when he couldnt win anything , when there was'nt any weibo , sina or whatever u have . Zhang jike had several ads b4 ( as I remember coca cola and kia motors and other ads recently) . He has attends many variety shows that malong hasnt .
I dont care about M.r x or y 's ads ... just tell me what was the reason of a stadium full of fans in the recent asian champion ship??? Malong's audi ads or lgl or kl or other's fame?? well thats the most important part of sport , having a lot of viewers out there . Zhang jike makes our sport more visible . accept it
ha ha dont change my post's destination dude . he brings people there in china to tt . All the people were cheering him there . But i'm sure this made you sad . Respect your country man and be proud of him and dont write nonsense about him anymore . Haters gonna hate .......As you wish, all people watch TT because of Zhang Jike.
