020 Race Afternoon
However, the high stool that Uncle Six tried to find did not come in handy until the end, and the artist brother on the side said, "What the organizer wants is a bust, I can adjust the height", Lu Xinlei's last face was still retained.
After the photo shoot, the rest of the matter was not so complicated, and the sixth uncle and some members of the conqueror's art team who stayed at the base added a little extra shift and submitted the makeup photos of the conqueror before the afternoon arrived.
At this time, the main selection team members have rushed to the Shencheng Meiben Center, which is not far from the base of the CRG club, and began to prepare for the media conference after a short rest.
"It's not a rehearsal, and the questions they're going to ask can't really get past that...... Everyone can answer on their own. β
In the backstage of the venue, facing the players with the scripts in their hands, Hai Ziming was trying to make some final explanations.
Normally, this kind of trivial work is done by the person with the responsibility of the press spokesperson, or media director, in the regular club team, but TDG does not have a full-time press spokesperson, and most of the Conquistador's front-line staff team also follows the main team to Stockholm.
TDG's head coach couldn't help but take off his coat again - these precautions against the media did not require him as a technical and tactical head coach to take care of it himself, but now he is the only one who can talk about it......
If Lin Zhixing, an old dog, is here, he should be much easier.
Hai Ziming put his coat on his shoulders, and in the past two months, he really hasn't seen this youth training director who is theoretically directly connected with his position, so he can't count on anything.
"According to the process, this afternoon is first an interview with a few public media, followed by self-media, and now there are eight teams in ESL, and now it should be dinner time."
"There is also an arrangement after dinner, each of the eight teams has to choose one person to come out and do an ESL chat with the organizer's staff alone, who do you think is good-looking, you can recommend yourself now, and I will go to the organizer to contact you with the script."
The starters and substitutes present were silent for two seconds before they looked at Lu Xinlei, who was sitting on the dresser by the wall of the lounge and was fiddling with her makeup by a rejuvenated girl.
"Then it seems that everyone's opinions are very unanimous, this issue has been revealed, you take a good look at the draft of the unified interview with the public media at the meeting, their questions are the above, there will be less and not more, you think about how to answer a little more decently, don't be cold, don't grab words."
In the past few years when e-sports has rapidly become public and entered the public eye, the "professionalism" of these professional players has also improved to a considerable extent, although in the eyes of the older generation of pure players who pick up cigarettes and fight competitions, such media attention and capital packaging are completely charming and eye-catching, and sooner or later e-sports, or at least the Dota project will be in a miasma, but no one can deny that after such a series of attention and packaging, the term "professional player" does not look so ironic.
It is often difficult to have both appearance and game talent, which is one of the objective laws, both of which only account for a relatively small proportion of the player's collective, and the superposition of these two small probability events may only be a smaller probability event.
This also directly leads to the current situation that those players who have both high-quality appearance and extraordinary strength are quite sought-after in all aspects, and in the e-sports system of this world's environment, the exposure rate of players is actually not inferior to some second- and third-tier stars; Of course, those who are not very good looking players are not exempt from vulgarity - at least they still have to be able to speak when interviewed.
When the handsome guy is interviewed, Abba Abba can still be packaged as an "interview ghost", "what a young man, why do you have a mouth", and those ordinary players who are not outstanding in appearance are at a loss when they are interviewed, and incoherence can only be left to those who still have prejudices about the e-sports industry, "I can't even speak except for playing games, this young man is not all wasted".
This state of affairs is objective, and it will continue to exist for a long time, and the young conquerors who know this can only continue to familiarize themselves with the list of questions that the media may ask, and arrange their own speeches.
"That Xinlei, I'll leave the solo interview to you in the evening."
After seeing that the young people under his command were all very good and began to prepare, Hai Ziming also let go of half of his heart, said hello to Lu Xinlei, who was tossed like a doll, and then left the backstage.
As a manager, he certainly has his own media mandate.
"Yo, Ming Tsai!"
After he turned around and closed the door to the lounge, a male voice behind him stopped him: "It's not too late." β
"No matter how late the daylily is, it's cold." Hai Ziming, who immediately understood who was coming from the other party's special voice, was not frightened, he finished what he was doing steadily, and then turned around, "But you really see that everyone comes early." β
"Why aren't you two days late this time?"
"It's all in Shencheng, so I won't have to walk for two days." The NW club's first team head coach, Lao Mao, walked up and hugged Hai Ziming's shoulders, "What do you say this time, have you brought something new out?" β
"Come on, there are new things that you can't encounter in the first round, don't put aside this spying on the military and bury it."
Hai Ziming broke free of the other party's arm and glanced at him: "What do you say, have you figured out how to send the reporter today?" β
"Nope." The other party replied very simply.
"It's okay if I'm not prepared, you should prepare well, don't embarrass our old Longmen." Hai Ziming sighed.
The friendship between the two of them can be traced back to the era of the "Dragon Gate" team, which is also the predecessor of the current NW team, and Hai Ziming at that time was the man in front of him and the leader of his team.
As for why he left this NW that allowed him to grow into a qualified insider, and followed another man to join CRG, that's another story, and now the two men who are almost facing each other are not in the mood to mention this matter for the time being.
"What about Da Nan? He is not active now, so he probably won't go to Stockholm with KKG. β
"Him?" Hai Ziming, who knew which immortal the other party was referring to, pouted, "He threw that little girl at me and the person was gone, if you want to see him, I guess I have to wait for next year, or be lucky, he will be out behind us in three minutes......"
"βit won't take three minutes."
"Huh!"
The male voice that suddenly sounded behind them really exceeded the expectations of these two men, and they would definitely not be frightened, but the sigh of half surprise and half helplessness was still indispensable: "If you really [scold] it's Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." β
The man who strode in the corridor behind them was the "Da Nan" they had just mentioned, and Lang Guangnan, who was walking straight towards them, saw the two of them turn around, and also raised his arm to say hello: "Good afternoon, you two, I haven't seen you for some days." β
"No, you're Ultraman." The old cat touched his nose, "We were about to say bad things about you, you kucha flew over at once......"
"I want you to call me Kamen Rider more than Ultraman......" Lang Guangnan walked up to the old cat and slapped his shoulder with a fist with his right hand, "Okay, okay, stop telling jokes, you two are going to go to the front for an interview now?" β
"Yes, the manager has to have an interview." Hai Ziming nodded, and stood in a different position after Lang Guangnan completely walked to the two of them, "It's you, what are you going to do when you sneak in?" β
"I'm also a conqueror employee, so I can't come in if I have a certificate."
Lang Guangnan, who had no image restraint in front of his two old teammates, crossed his hands and pressed down: "Okay, you just go and fix yours, don't worry about me, it's not appropriate for me to be in the limelight on this occasion, just treat me as a temporary worker of the club who came to do chores." β
"Let me have something to do and be able to visit the door, just talk to the team members and pick up materials."
ββββββββββββββ
In this afternoon's schedule, there were no fan meetings or anything like that.
The main reason, of course, is that this competition is really not very well on the table, and the organizers are not confident in how much attention the players who participate in the competition are either second and third tiers, or just the players of the youth team.
However, judging from the live broadcast of the group stage in the online stage a few days ago, maybe it's not bad?
But now it is a bit hasty to forcibly add a fan meeting, and after many considerations, the organizers simply gave up the idea.
It should be enough to do such an activity a little before the competition on the final day, after all, there are not no well-known players and teams in the teams participating in this competition, and it is inevitable that there will be unpopular teams who will be treated coldly and the scene will be ugly; No matter how well-known the team that can enter the finals is, at least in terms of strength, fans can still pay more attention to it.
- These are the things that those small club teams need to consider in the competition, and in the C2 League, it is not a team with its own traffic that the unknown TDG and the CRG behind them are themselves.
Therefore, when preparing the interview script, the only one who can be more tired than the current conquerors is NW.
On the conqueror's side, after dividing the questions that may be encountered during the interview into six equal parts, the weight that everyone needs to remember is not small, although Hai Ziming's statement is "everyone picks up what they can answer", "don't talk nonsense", but it is obvious that the meaning behind these two sentences is "You dare to say the wrong way, you will have no ingredients for instant noodles tonight".
Therefore, they were quite conscientious in the process of preparing for the group interview, and there was no big basket in the formal interview process.
It's just that when they returned to the break room, they saw someone who was a little unexpected.
"Leave me alone."
Lang Guangnan waved at the players who returned to the backstage lounge.
"Leave him alone."
Hai Ziming pointed at Lang Guangnan, who was sitting on the sofa and quite comfortable:
"Now we can actually get in the car and go, today's venue link is actually here, if you are interested, I can pull down my face and negotiate with the venue to open a separate window for you to do a fan meeting or something, if you don't have this idea, you can consider whether to wait here for a self-media interview or go back to the hotel and wait."
"Let's go back to the hotel." Shen Jiaqing took the lead in making a decision, "I can't do anything in the background, I still have a computer when I go back to the hotel." β
"Agreed."
It's a reasonable suggestion, even the best people can't find anything wrong, so after integrating the team, Hai Ziming, who watched the players in front of him pack up their belongings and leave one after another, also stood up and prepared to go to the hotel arranged by the organizer to settle down - and Lang Guangnan also stood up.
"What, ready to go?"
Hai Ziming was also a little secretly angry at this old teammate who couldn't see the end of the dragon: "Da Nan, what are you going to do." β
"You're financially free now, it's okay to wave casually, but we've been friends for so long, what if you give us a thorough understanding?"
"I'm just going to watch the game now, it's nothing." Lang Guangnan probably knew that he was too duplicitous, so he added, "Do you really want me to say it?" β
"If you don't think it's appropriate," I don't know what Hai Ziming thought of, but his words suddenly flickered a little, "Anyway, it's your own private matter, you are indeed the eldest and the youngest, it's nothing to think about this aspect, you can't die of old age in the past in this life - you give ......"
"You old boys don't think about this aspect of your grandmother." AckX couldn't help but interrupt Hai Ziming's confession, "It's okay if you're not serious, why do you think of me like this." β
"Then I have reasonable suspicion of you now...... Forget it, stop talking nonsense. Hai Ziming retracted what he was about to say and turned the topic back on track, "What are you going to do this day in the South China Sea?" If you tell me the truth, I won't be angry even if you say that you have airborne grass powder all over the country. β
ββ¦β¦β
Without saying a word, Lang Guangnan picked up his jacket and walked towards the door.
"My, my, mine, don't be angry, don't be angry," Hai Ziming, who realized that this joke was close to the other party's bottom line, quickly apologized, "No kidding, my fault, I really want to ask,"
"What the hell have you been doing since last year?"
"What are you doing...... the man slung his jacket over his shoulders and thought about his words, "I said I'm planning to form my own team, can you believe me?" β
"Why not?" Knowing that the man in front of him had an inexplicable super high mobility, Hai Ziming certainly didn't take this sentence as a joke, not to mention that this matter itself was not impossible.
With the name of "AckX", it is not a problem to attract some young people who are interested in professional e-sports dreams, and it is enough to build a team framework with the best of them, no matter how bad it is, to pull up those old friends of Lang Guangnan, and to take these people as the core.
What's more, if you can get some big sponsors, if you have the funds, you can directly pay for a C2 league seat, and then dig up some potential players in the youth training of giants, and a fairly competitive team may be on paper.
In the current environment, there are not a few domestic bigwigs who want to enter the e-sports industry, and a large number of large amounts of capital are just waiting for an opportunity, or initial traffic. Lang Guangnan, or "AckX", is more than qualified to do just that.
"Which side are you going to pull for sponsorship? Also, do you have any thoughts about the youngsters on my team? β
As a head coach, the calf should still be protected: "Let's say it first, our relationship is ironclad, if you want to poach people from me, you have to take out the money first, and your brother will settle the account." β
And in the face of such a reaction, Lang Guangnan only shrugged: "Don't worry, I haven't skimmed the eight characters here." β
"Isn't it just a matter of two phone calls if you want to get sponsorship in your name?"
Hai Ziming was a little puzzled: "There are several big e-commerce platforms that have sent advertisements in the past two years saying that they want to form a team to enter e-sports, your name is here, give them a call, isn't the sponsorship an uproar?" β
"I ...... How to say. Lang Guangnan signaled to Hai Ziming not to let the young people outside wait too long, and then he opened the door first, and looked back at the CRG youth coach whose BMI was obviously exceeded:
"I don't want those big capital sponsorships too much, I want to be myself, all on my own team, and see where I can go."
