Chapter 65: The First Step in the Future
There will be an update in the afternoon, everyone smash flowers, don't smash egg tickets
Chapter 65: The First Step of the Future
The party started late and everyone had a great time.
The drunken monkey helped Alice to walk to the residence first, Lu Fei walked quietly on the beach, and Huo Xixian followed behind him.
"You're not going back to Seattle?" Lu Fei turned his head and asked.
Huo Xixian smiled and said, "Mr. Green and I have booked a hotel in the city and are ready to fly to Austin the day after tomorrow." ”
She is a person who is good at speculating on the other person's thoughts, and as soon as she speaks, she will say the topic that the other person is interested in.
Lu Fei smiled: "I didn't expect you to care about CPL." ”
"I'm just good at discovering the business value in it, and I don't have as much interest in CS as you do." Huo Xixian replied.
Lu Fei glanced at her: "What is the commercial value of a person who has only won two key games?" ”
"Yes." Huo Xixian said seriously, "Don't you know what kind of changes have happened to this club because of your appearance, and besides, who MDK defeated in these two games?" ”
Lu Fei thought for a while and said, "Miss Huo, is it okay to call you like that?" ”
"It's a pleasure." Huo Xixian replied politely.
Lu Fei frowned and said, "I don't like to deal with the media very much. ”
Huo Xixian hurriedly said: "Can you tell me why you refused to be interviewed last time?" ”
Lu Fei said: "The involvement of the media, sometimes of course, is beneficial to the promotion of the players, but it will also cause great pressure on the future performance. ”
"Are you afraid of increasing stress?"
"It's not."
Huo Xixian was silent and said: "Lu Fei, I know that you were discovered by Mr. Green from Xijing City, but there are too many differences between the United States and China, the current China, there is no e-sports system, even if it is produced, it will not be as mature as CAL and CPL, sorry I have no intention of underestimating our motherland, because I am also a Chinese." ”
Lu Fei said: "You say." ”
Huo Xixian continued: "But in the United States, people are looking for personal value, personal freedom, you are a CAL player, as long as you are famous, you should follow Mr. Green's ideas, Mr. Green also told me that he wants to build you into an emerging superstar, realize your ideals, and at the same time maximize business value." ”
Lu Fei smiled: "Talking about a thousand things and ten thousand, I am still talking about the problem of the agent." ”
Huo Xixian also smiled: "Lu Fei, maybe I'm a little older than you, but please believe that I definitely don't mean to harm you." ”
Lu Fei smiled: "You are serious. ”
Huo Xixian sighed softly and said, "Do you know how long the CAL League has been going on since its birth? ”
Lu Fei looked at her.
"I grew up in Seattle, as a Chinese, I am extremely eager for the world's largest league to one day give birth to a Chinese player, I reported on the EPS for 5 seasons of events, unfortunately, no Chinese can be on the IM level above the league, so I thought of this year's CPL Asia finals, I couldn't believe it, we Chinese actually lost to the Singapore student team, Lu Fei, I believe you feel very deeply." Huo Xixian said quietly.
Lu Fei was silent and said, "What do you think I should do?" ”
Huo Xixian said: "Since you have come to the United States, I think you must first gain a foothold in leagues above the M level, and now you have a firm foothold. ”
"And then?"
"On the road to the P-League, you should expand your influence, let the Aberdeen people know your name, and slowly let Seattle, San Francisco, Vancouver, the whole West End, and even the whole of the United States and Canada know that you are a player from China, and you can't do it alone, you need the help of agencies, clubs, advertising agencies, organizing committees, and the media." Huo Xixian said slowly, "If you have to ask me why I took the initiative to find you, maybe I still said that." ”
"What?"
Huo Xixian said firmly: "Because, I am also a Chinese." ”
Lu Fei was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "Which hotel did you and Mr. Green book in the city?" ”
Huo Xixian was stunned and said, "At the Rocky Hotel." ”
Lu Fei nodded: "Okay, then I'll come to you tomorrow morning, and we'll talk about the details." ”
Huo Xixian was surprised and delighted: "Really? ”
"Of course it's true." Lu Fei smiled, turned his head to look at the undulating waves, and muttered, "Because, no matter when and where, I will not forget that I am also a Chinese." ”
A breeze swept across Lu Fei's face, and his expression as he gazed at the waves seemed to be distracted, but as if he was smiling.
Huo Xixian watched him quietly, and she suddenly had a feeling that she wanted to enter the inner world of this big boy.
She was eager to know if he had traveled far away from his homeland and across the ocean to this strange country just because he realized his worth. No, it should never be that way.
Lu Fei always has a very peculiar charm on his body, especially his eyes, there is always something flashing in his eyes, that kind of gaze, as if he is looking far into the future.
What he wants is by no means as simple as commercial value and honor.
"Mr. Green is worthy of being the No. 1 scout in North America, and the people selected are always very different, but fortunately, he selected a Chinese." Huo Xixian sighed secretly.
After a friendly farewell, Lu Fei returned to his residence.
The monkey had fallen asleep on the sofa on his back, and Alice was nowhere to be seen in the hall, so he must have fallen asleep after drinking too much.
Lu Fei went upstairs, returned to his room, turned on the computer, and browsed the web.
After many days of fighting, he also looked very tired.
If he really has a hobby, it is to follow the news in China all the time.
Major websites in the United States are currently reporting on the upcoming CPL World Finals.
CPL's influence in North America is very far-reaching, in fact, its influence in the world is also very large, but for the current China, the influence is not very good.
Because the "preconceived" of Korean CG has the upper hand, many Chinese people know CG but don't know anything about CPL at this time.
In fact, CPL's history, development speed, and professionalism have a deeper foundation than CG.
But the reason why Chinese people are so fond of CG is that Evil is the first Chinese team in history to attack the World Championship, and this legendary team can be said to have gathered the old Chinese elite: Alric, Butcher, Cdier (the famous CSH), KING, ThUnd3R.
Evil's failure to impact the World Series has caused countless Chinese people to be in regret, pain and sadness, but some high-ranking people have come forward to point out that Evil's failure has a huge role in promoting Chinese e-sports.
Because this allows Chinese people to see the gap between themselves and the world, Chinese are more diligent than Westerners, all walks of life are more concerned about the development of the CS industry, and some far-sighted business people have set their sights on this nascent industry.
With the end of CG in 2001, China's "MP5 era" also came to an end.
Chinese CS began to develop rapidly and ushered in another era, that is, the era of the "Dark Dynasty".
Lu Fei clearly remembers that 02 Chinese CS was mixed with joy and sorrow, this year, Csers explored in the dark, yearned in the light, and struggled forward in the coexistence of challenges and opportunities, and e-sports also received investment from major industries.
Lu Fei's first thought was Erin and Aihua, in fact, Erin's development of a small community is the path of Evil, which can grow rapidly with the momentum of a spark that can start a prairie fire, and drive the enthusiasm of countless people to participate in CS; Aihua and Bada Club, on the other hand, take the elite route, and train top players by registering clubs and using strong economic strength.
In fact, Mr. Green's creation of his Lu Fei is essentially the same as the thinking of the Bada Club, taking the path of excellence.
However, the jury can never be made out which of the two approaches is right or wrong.
After all, Chinese CS has been bumping and bumping for so many years, and CS has endured in history, what is the reason for supporting it?
Lu Fei suddenly remembered an old question: "What am I fighting for?" ”
Turning off the computer, Lu Fei lay at the head of the bed, his eyes staring at the ceiling.
He thought of his friends, his only two good friends - Duan Jiu and Lei Ming.
It's been more than a month since he came to the United States, and he has lost contact with them, what are they doing at the moment? How are you doing?
Is 801 still as full of laughter as it used to be? Full of laughter and slapstick?
Is Duan Jiu going to inquire about the news of a certain beauty if he is fine?
Is Lei Ming lying on the bed and turning over his operation guide when he is fine?
Are the two guys still making jokes about cigarette money and food money?
Lu Fei misses them indescribably at the moment, if they can also come to the United States, how great would it be?
Missing a distant friend, this is really a wonderful feeling, although a little melancholy, but the feeling of no one in the middle of the night, will smile so that you can't get rid of it.
It was a kind of warmth, a kind of beauty, a faint melancholy.
He thought of Erin again, of that face, of that demeanor; I thought of Yu Xiao, I thought of Yu Xiao's sincere eyes, and that fanatical Chu Jian, the polite Sun Zhong, and the despicable wilderness......
When a person misses his homeland, everyone seems so cute.
And he can only hope that his friends will always be happy, and that they will not be lonely for the sake of hard pursuit like himself.
But his hopes were disappointed, and he was not the only lonely person?
If he, Lu Fei, is a person who loves CS and doesn't ask anything else, then Duan Jiu and Lei Ming will definitely not be so persistent with him.
In fact, everyone has an obsessive side, but the object of attachment is different.
When I was young and frivolous, people would always be obsessed with what they liked, and now Lei Ming has reached this kind of attachment trapped by love.
