Chapter 625: Joining the Professional Team
After the film was screened, Xiao Yao's task at the film festival was only the award ceremony at the closing ceremony. The closing ceremony and award ceremony were on Friday, and Xiao Yao had two more days of free time.
Due to participating in the movie screening, the three girls of SYS recorded the song "Because It's a Woman" for only half a day, and they haven't all been recorded, so the day after the movie screening, Xiao Yao went to YPL Entertainment and completed the recording of the song with Liu Youyuan.
"OK, great!" After listening to Liu Youyuan's final official version of the audio source, Xiao Yao took off his headphones with satisfaction and stretched out his palm to Liu Youyuan.
Liu Youyuan smiled and stretched out his hand to high-five Xiao Yao, and then told Xiao Yao about another thing: "The sound source of the song is completed, and the MV has been completed, and the company has agreed to shoot the MV for this song according to your script!"
"Really, that's good!" Xiao Yao smiled and asked casually, "When will you shoot?"
"Preparations are underway and should start soon. Liu Youyuan smiled, "Do you have any suggestions?"
"Suggestion," Xiao Yao said while reminiscing about the MV in his previous life, "Don't use any of the SYS for the heroine in the MV, and find another actor to play it." In addition to being young and beautiful, the heroine must be quiet and elegant, as well as lively and cute. It's best to find an actor who looks cool and stylish, but looks like a cute actor..."
"Stop!" Liu Youyuan raised his palm and made a pause gesture, and said with a smile, "I'll just ask casually, do you have so many ideas?"
"Didn't you ask me to suggest?" Xiao Yao said helplessly.
"Now the director and actors have not been decided, since you have such an idea, why don't you be the director of the MV!" Liu Youyuan suddenly said, "I know that you have made short films, and the MVs of several songs are also shot by you as the director! The script of this MV is written by you, you are the director yourself, and you will definitely be able to shoot good results!"
"I'm going to be the director of the MV?" Xiao Yao was a little moved, but thinking about the plot of the MV, he felt that it might not be much easier to shoot than the short film "The Tuner", so he dispelled this idea again, shook his head and said, "I can't shoot, time doesn't allow it, I can't stay in Korea for that long!"
"Are you going back to China soon after the festival?" asked Liu Youyuan.
"Hmm~" Xiao Yao was about to nod, but suddenly remembered that he had promised Zou Tianyu to watch their game, and shook his head again, "It's not that I will return to China immediately after the film festival, but it is estimated that I will stay for two more days, and it will definitely not be enough to finish filming this MV." I do have a job at hand, although I don't have to do it in China, but it is still more convenient to do it in China, and if I shoot the MV, it will also affect the progress of my work at hand. ”
Xiao Yao's work at hand refers to the post-production soundtrack of animated films. Xiao Yao doesn't remember much about the original soundtrack of animated movies, and most of them have to be original in the true sense of the word. Although the time is not too tight, this is not a small amount of work, and renting a KM recording studio is definitely not as free and comfortable as doing it in your own recording studio.
"Well, since it's a matter of work, then I won't force you!" Liu Youyuan said with a smile.
"Brother Youyuan, I'll go out and make a call. Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and stood up.
Thinking of promising Zou Tianyu to watch the game, Xiao Yao suddenly found that it was already Wednesday, but Zou Tianyu hadn't contacted him yet, and he didn't know if their team had arrived in South Korea, so he wanted to call and ask.
"Hey, K God, I'm Xiao Yao!" The phone was connected, and Xiao Yao said into the microphone of his mobile phone.
"Big star!" Zou Tianyu said on the other end of the phone.
"Did you come to South Korea?" Xiao Yao asked directly.
"It's here, it arrived yesterday!" replied Zou Tianyu.
"Then why didn't you notify me?" Xiao Yao wondered, "Didn't you say that you would contact me after coming to Korea?
"I haven't forgotten!" Zou Tianyu said in a somewhat depressed tone, "What I'm talking about is that after the game is done, I'll find a time to contact you to come out and get together, now that we haven't finished the game, where can I call you!"
"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Yao heard something unusual from Zou Tianyu's tone, and felt like something was wrong, so he asked directly, "Is there anything I can help with?"
"This~" Zou Tianyu over there hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I can't say a word or two on the phone, where are you now?" We don't know Korean, it's inconvenient to go out, if it's convenient, come and meet us here." ”
"Okay, you say the address, I'll go find you!" Xiao Yao agreed.
Although he had agreed to have lunch with Liu Youyuan before, Xiao Yao and Liu Youyuan had more than one meal in the past two days, and it was not much of a problem to cancel it temporarily at this time.
"Brother Youyuan, a friend from China has come to South Korea and has something to do with me, I want to go over, I'm sorry I can't eat with you at noon!" Xiao Yao wrote down the address of Zou Tianyu, and went back to the recording studio to explain and apologize to Liu Youyuan.
"It's okay!" Liu Youyuan smiled and waved his hand, "Where is your friend, do you need me to send you over?"
"Thank you, no need!" Xiao Yao said, "I drove myself." ”
Xiao Yao's international driver's license can be used in South Korea, and here it is left-hand driving, so there is nothing unaccustomed to driving, so after coming to South Korea, Xiao Yao also rented a car to travel conveniently.
"If you need any help, you can come to me. Liu Youyuan saw a trace of worry in Xiao Yao's expression, so he instructed again, "This song has been recorded, I have nothing to do in the past two days, I am relatively free!"
"Okay, if necessary, I'll find a brother!" Xiao Yao nodded, said goodbye to Liu Youyuan and left.
Zou Tianyu gave the name of a hotel, and Xiao Yao arrived smoothly with the help of the car navigation. This is a three-star hotel hanging on the doorstep, but after Xiao Yao entered, he felt that it did not seem to reach the three-star standard.
Zou Tianyu not only gave the name of the hotel, but also reported the room number, and Xiao Yao directly looked for it according to the room number given by Zou Tianyu.
Xiao Yao found the room number given by Zou Tianyu and reached out to knock on the door. Soon the door of the room opened, and Zou Tianyu let Xiao Yao in.
In addition to Zou Tianyu, there were two other boys sitting in the room. These two are teammates of Zou Tianyu's team, and Xiao Yao has played games with them under Zou Tianyu's matchmaking, but it is the first time they have met offline. After Zou Tianyu let Xiao Yao in, he also introduced the two to Xiao Yao.
Although it was the first time to meet offline, after all, they had played games together and had contact online, so Xiao Yao didn't have much strangeness with the two.
After greeting the two of them and sitting down on the sofa, Xiao Yao asked Zou Tianyu, "You guys live here?"
"Arranged by the organizers of the event," Zou Tianyu said with a bitter smile, "We can't compare to you big stars, and when we go out to play, we have lived in places with worse conditions than this." Our biggest problem right now isn't the accommodation at all!"
"What can't compare? Have you ever heard of an actor living in a guest house when he went out filming?" Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, and then asked, "What problems are you having now? Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Alas~ I guess you won't be able to help much!" The boy named Zhou Yong sighed and shook his head, "I know that you are a big star, and you know people in South Korea, but the Koreans you know are basically stars in the Korean entertainment industry! ”
"Aren't you here for the competition? I can understand the people who need to know the organizers of the event, why did you get involved in the embassy again?" Xiao Yao said curiously.
"You know that the main force of our team is five people, right?" Zou Tianyu explained, "Originally, there were four main forces, one substitute, and whoever was in good shape was on the list." But before I came, two of our team players were denied visas by the Korean embassy, and they couldn't come to Korea at all!"
"Just the three of you, how do you fight?" Xiao Yao said, "I heard that the most important team competition this time is the four-row competition, and you don't even have enough players!"
"No way," Zou Tianyu also sighed, "We have a team leader who brought us with us this time." There's really no way, we're ready to pull the team leader on the field to make up the numbers!"
"Your team leader is also a professional player?" Xiao Yao asked.
"If it's a professional player, it's not called making up the numbers!" said another boy named Fang Jiang, "Our team leader is a girl, and her role in the team is usually a manager, who is in charge of our daily life." Although she occasionally plays with us, her game level is only average among amateur players. Because she knows some Korean, that's why the team sent her with us. ”
"Then practice more. Xiao Yao comforted, "Isn't it even more awesome to take your sister to win the championship?"
"She is the team leader, and she is also responsible for communicating with the organizers, she is already busy, how can she have time to practice with us?" Zou Tianyu said, "She has never played any games at all, and she, the team leader, still has a lot of communication work to do on the day of the game, we only pray that she will not get dizzy and accidentally injure her teammates during the game, we are thankful!"
"Then why don't I help the team leader girl share some of her work?" Xiao Yao said, "I have no problem with Korean, isn't the main communication with the organizer to listen to the organizer's various arrangements, let the team leader girl explain to me, I should be competent, right?
"I'll go, it's a way!" Zhou Yong's eyes lit up.
"You, a big star, are still willing to help our team leader work?" Zou Tianyu joked with a smile, "It won't be because I heard that our team leader is a girl, right?
"Go, I'm obviously for your good, okay?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes and said, "I'm just watching you go abroad to compete, representing the face of our Huaxia, so I deign to help you! If it's a domestic competition, I don't bother to care about you!"
"If you want to help us, you might as well help us play directly!" Zou Tianyu said this, and suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, you have also played with us, YoYo's game level is not as good as yours!
"Good idea!" The other two had both played games with Xiao Yao, and they both nodded in agreement, "Xiao Yao is indeed stronger than YoYo!"
"Is this okay?" Xiao Yao said, "I'm not from your team! this team leader can make sense to ask a helper temporarily or simply say that he wants an outsider to be a translator, but in the game, is this what you say let me go?"
"YoYo is just the manager and leader of our team, isn't it the same to play, what can't you do?" Zou Tianyu said, "If you're afraid that the organizer will find faults, let the domestic side fax a contract over in a while, and you can just sign a contract with our team." You didn't sign with a professional team anyway, and no one said that teams can't sign before a tournament!"
"You asked me to sign with your professional club?" Xiao Yao said in surprise.
"Of course, you, the big star, are our temporary rescue, and we will definitely not let you sign the same contract terms as us. If you are afraid of being tied up, you can sign a short-term contract for about a week, and the contract will expire after this competition. If you want to keep your name as a pro, you can also sign a long-term contract. You have a special status, we don't stipulate what training and competitions you have to participate in, and of course we won't pay you a salary or just a symbolic salary, so you will be regarded as a supernumerary member or an honorary member of our team!"
"I'll go, I've turned down auditions for basketball clubs and football clubs, but this time I'm going to become an athlete for a professional game club?" Xiao Yao complained helplessly in his heart.
The International Olympic Committee has recognized that esports is regarded as a "sport", so the players who sign up to professional esports clubs can naturally also be regarded as professional athletes.
"It's too ridiculous to sign a one-week contract, and at first glance it's specially made for this competition," Xiao Yao said, "If you can really tell you that you don't give me any restrictions, then sign a one-year contract." Of course, I don't need a salary, if you have to have a salary in your contract, then one dollar a month, no more!"
"Even if you sign for a year, everyone knows that it was for this competition to sign you!" Zou Tianyu said with a smile, "After YoYo comes back in a while, we will talk to her, and then let her go and talk to the owner of the club." ”
"You can't call the shots, huh?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"It's not that you can't call the shots," Zou Tianyu shook his head and said, "The three of us agree, YoYo and the boss will definitely have no problems, but this kind of thing should have been told by YoYo to the club, we just ignored her, and contacted the club directly without saying hello to her, saying that this matter is not good." ”
"Okay, then that's it!" Xiao Yao nodded, "How long will she come back?" When she comes back, I will invite you to have a meal, which can be regarded as worshipping the mountain, after lunch, we will train in the afternoon!"
"Training, we don't have a place to train yet!" Fang Jiang smiled bitterly, "This is another big problem we are facing. The training place prepared for us by the organizer is not good at all! the equipment is not good, the environment is not good, the light is not good, and the time to use the training place is still limited, YoYo is now going to communicate with the organizer about this matter!"
"Looking at your expressions, it seems that the organizers don't want to help you solve it!" Regarding South Korea's urine in holding competitive competitions, Xiao Yao had felt a lot in his previous life anyway, so he asked the three people directly, "The place provided by the organizer is not good, so can't we find a place to train ourselves?"
"Find a place to train yourself?" Zou Tianyu smiled bitterly, "Do you want to find an Internet café outside?" This is South Korea, and the computers in the Internet café are Hangul operating systems, and we don't know Hangul!"
"Then buy a few computers and install your own English operating system, you are a machine with an English operating system for the competition, right?" Xiao Yao asked again, "You are all professional players, you can't even afford a few new computers, right?"
"We have the money to buy a computer, but where can we put it in a hotel room when we buy it?" Zhou Yong pointed to the room where he was, "Do you think it can be placed here?"
"Then let's rent a place and find a place with enough space, furniture and internet. Xiao Yao suggested.
"Big brother, this is South Korea, we don't know each other here, where can we find the kind of place you said?" Fang Jiang said helplessly.
"You are not familiar with life in South Korea, I am not!" Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and said, "I have acquaintances and friends in South Korea!
