-247- On the eve of the group stage
After getting the director's opinion solicitation email, sitting in a café in Paris, Tang Xiaotang turned his head and asked, "Xiaozi, what do you think my demons are?" ”
The MV director's idea is clearly written in the email, that is, the story of the contestants overcoming the obstacles of their hearts and demons and finally being reborn on the field, although it is not a theme that the audience is willing to watch, but it is indeed easy for the contestants to empathize.
Just to talk about demons...... Tang Xiaotang thought about it very seriously, but he still couldn't think of any game that he would regret.
After all, as a newcomer who debuted this year, she has already won all the honors she can get, winning the LCS Spring and Summer Tournaments, and winning the MSI championship, although it is not the kind of crushing game that swept her teammates 3-0, but defeated IG 3-2 to win the championship, but the demons in her heart must not be talked about - you can't always say "I'm sorry I didn't send IG 3-0 happy", right? Rookie is on the set!
"Isn't that something you know about yourself?" Chen Zilan took a sip of coffee and tilted her head in confusion.
"I can't think of it." Tang Xiaotang sighed, "Maybe this is the loneliness of the master, and there is no regret...... Why should I be born so perfectly? Alas! ”
Is a person of 1.5 meters qualified to sigh about this! Chen Zilan looked at her speechlessly, but she didn't want to be straightforward, so she stretched out her hand, touched Tang Xiaotang's head, and said meaningfully: "This, how about it?" ”
"This?" Tang Xiaotang blinked, but didn't react.
"That's, this—ah!" Chen Zilan touched Tang Xiaotang's head again, and her tone was elongated, hinting madly.
“……?” Tang Xiaotang was still a little confused, but soon realized something and muttered, "I see...... I see! ”
"You understand?" Chen Zilan looked at her unexpectedly, shouldn't she, just the character of the hairy essence, if she really understood that she was hinting at her short legs, she should have quarreled with herself unconvinced, right? Finally, I will end with words such as "I'm still young", "I will grow five centimeters taller next year", and "you wait for me".
Why is the reaction so calm?
Do you want to open it?
She was a little puzzled, and when she saw Tang Xiaotang typing on the keyboard of her laptop and writing an email, she immediately stretched her head from the side, intending to peek at the content of the email.
Then she saw that the stupid hair spirit was seriously writing things like "My biggest demon is myself" and "As long as I defeat myself, I can win the championship".
"......" Chen Zilan.
Sure enough, I was thinking too much.
In the end, after Tang Xiaotang's insistence and stalking, the MV director actually agreed to this request, which Chen Zilan did not expect at all.
Because Rookie and Faker have already been chosen, they both correspond to a more regrettable game, which is more decent, but when it comes to Tang Xiaotang's side, it becomes defeating himself, and I am a demon...... The gap is really a bit big.
However, in the eyes of the MV director, it is not a big problem.
On the one hand, Xiao Dongzao's career is too short, and it is all smooth sailing, even if you insist on finding a losing game as a demon, you can't find one that meets the standard - this kind of competition must be a meaningful international event with a global audience, right? That's just MSI. But on MSI, because the group stage is not so important, it is not included in the consideration, and the only thing that can be considered is a 3-0 sweep of SKT, and a 3-2 defeat to IG.
On the other hand, the performance effect will not be disturbed.
After all, defeating the demon is to defeat yourself, Rookie's Lisandro, and Faker's fan mom are just a concretization of a game with regrets in reality.
Although Xiao Dong Zao does not have such a competition, it does not prevent her from defeating herself, but when she is concrete, everyone else chooses heroes from the games with regrets, but Xiao Dong Zao chooses heroes from the games she wins - of course, in the end, it is not surprising that she also chooses the natal hero Akali.
Soon, in mid-September, the MV began to be officially filmed, the process lasted about a week, and the post-production tossed for more than half a month, and the finished film was not officially released until October 9 - the play-in competition was all over when it was released, which was indeed slow enough compared to last year's "rise". But after all, "rise" is an animated MV that has been produced for a long time, and "Nirvana" was impromptu in September, so it is understandable that the production is more time-consuming.
Then, after watching the MV content, whether it is an LPL audience or an LCS audience, there are only two words to describe Sister Zaozi after watching it, that is, the row.
That's right, the row noodles are too rowed, not to mention that in the MV, Sister Zaozi always occupies the C position in the middle of the three (in fact, because she is short), just her selection is different from others - Brother Li's fan mother, and the broiler's Lisandro can find the prototype from the world competition, and they are all games full of regrets, and the result is that Xiaodong Zao is the undefeated Akali.
Not even to mention fighting each other, Xiao Dongzao and the demon shook hands with each other at the end of the MV, which means that she is not the protagonist of the MV, no one believes it.
"I want to laugh as soon as Sister Zaozi appears, hahaha, it's so cute."
"My wife is awesome, the protagonist of the official MV, this is too pretentious, right?"
"What if it's poisoned milk?"
"You say that......"
The LPL audience was full of discussions.
Originally, in the normal world line, LPL audiences have opinions on the MV of "Nirvana" - how good last year's "rise" was, it was stalked, and cool, and finally LPL won a championship, and there was also a handsome animated MV like "rise", isn't it good to tell the story of the mountain team? Why did you make such a MV with a simple theme, and make the caps look like the MV protagonist...... My mountain team is so unplatoonable?
However, after Tang Xiaotang snatched away the C position of "Nirvana", which originally belonged to caps, this opinion suddenly became much smaller.
After all, the official has given your wife a C position, so what's not to be satisfied with?
Moreover, because Tang Xiaotang was blind on the set, frantically torturing the relationship between the director and the little brother in the later stage, the whole MV has a lot more content than the original film, and a lot of stalks on this year's MSI have been stuffed, which has further led to a decrease in the audience's opinions and an increase in praise.
……
In addition to the MV release, October 9 itself is also the last day of the play-in round.
After the play-in rounds, the fourth team in each group has finally settled, for example, in Group D, where TL is located, in addition to DWG and IG, the fourth team is AHQ in the LMS region.
Of course, from the analysis of the strength on paper, this D group itself should not be in suspense - TL is likely to be the first in the group, AHQ is likely to be the fourth in the group, and as for whether the second group is IG or DWG, it depends on the competition between them.
However, contrary to the perception of LCS viewers, coach cain and Tang Xiaotang himself are not so optimistic about the prediction of the group stage.
After all, there is always a big difference between the teams in the Worlds and their performances in their respective leagues.
There's version adaptation, but also the ability to learn and evolve.
It's like in the original world line, the three teams of the LCK all appeared first in the group, and then they were all cool, G2 is obviously the MSI champion, but it is only second in Group A, and the little phoenix who can't even beat JT at the beginning can have the last laugh.
That's right, this is no longer a contest of individual strength, but also includes the confrontation between the coaching staff of the two sides, the understanding and adaptation of the version, the learning ability of other strong teams, etc...... With just five strong players, it is impossible to win safely
