Chapter 62: Guests who don't need an appearance fee
Inside the Seoul E-sports Stadium, a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby appearance was whispering to a young man who looked like an assistant next to him, and it looked like the head of the publicity department of IRiver named Gu Daseon. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Well, you can wait here?" The middle-aged man who looked slightly chubby looked left and right with some confusion, and after not finding the target, he couldn't help but look at the assistant next to him with some suspicion and said.
"Don't worry, Director Gu, please trust me." The young assistant immediately patted his chest and reassured, "I've observed, those varsity teams have to pass through here, it must be fine." β
"Okay." The middle-aged man who was called the head of the room nodded, turned his head and glanced at the entrance, suddenly his eyes were slightly condensed, he raised his hand and pointed over there and said, "Is that team?" There seemed to be a lot of reporters chasing outside. β
"Huh? Please wait a minute, I'll take a look. When the assistant heard this, he glanced in the direction of Gu Dashan's finger and immediately trotted over.
When the assistant came to Lee Sang-hyuk's school team, he immediately recognized Lee Sang-hyuk in the team with good eyesight, but in order to be sure, he still took out his mobile phone very carefully and carefully confirmed the recent photo of Lee Sang-hyuk that he found when collecting information before, and then hurriedly ran back again.
"Director, it's him, that's Lee Sang-hyuk." The assistant who walked back to Gu Dashan's side quickly nodded, and said with a determined expression.
......
And Lee Sang-hyuk, who finally escaped into the e-sports stadium in the pursuit of the group of reporters holding microphones and cameras outside the e-sports stadium, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he looked at the reporters who were stopped by the security personnel of the e-sports stadium outside the door.
However, just as he was laughing with his teammates and preparing to enter the backstage standby room, he suddenly saw two people in the e-sports stadium pointing to his side, and one of them ran over to stare at his side to take a look, and then quickly ran back. Then when he passed by them, the two people walked straight to his group, and Lee Sang-hyuk, who was slightly curious in his heart, couldn't help but slow down.
After Gu Daseon approached with his assistant, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction when he saw Lee Sang-hyuk slow down, stopped and stopped.
"Hello, I'm Gu Daseon, the director of the product publicity department of IRiver." After the assistant handed over the business card, Gu Dashan bowed slightly with a smile on his face and introduced himself, but his expression was a little arrogant.
"Hello, Lee Sang-hyuk." Lee Sang-hyuk took the business card handed over by his assistant, looked at it politely, bowed slightly and replied a little dry and concisely.
In fact, after hearing Gu Daseon's self-introduction, Lee Sang-hyuk naturally guessed the other party's intention, but he was a little surprised that the other party would actually run to the game site to wait for him, could it be that the two people in front of him are also his fans?
But after seeing the arrogant expression on the face of the self-proclaimed head of the room opposite, Lee Sang-hyuk knew that he was thinking too much, so he had to stand there quietly and wait for the rest without saying anything.
Gu Dashan obviously didn't expect such a situation, originally according to Korean etiquette, Lee Sang-hyuk, as a junior, should take the initiative to ask about the intention, and then he can bring up the things he prepared before.
But what he didn't expect was that after Lee Sang-hyuk finished greeting, he stopped talking there and looked at him fixedly, although his eyes were also full of inquiry.
But this means that you have to let your side speak first, originally the former took the initiative to invite celebrities to endorse products, but at this moment, Gu Dashan has a feeling that he will speak first, and the invitation has become a request.
And the assistant beside him, who was familiar with his director's temperament, still had a little bit of eyes, and after noticing Gu Dashan's embarrassment, he immediately took the initiative to take over the conversation.
"That, that's the case, our company's latest new product is going to be launched, after our screening, I think Mr. Li is the most suitable for the image of our product, I want you to endorse this product for us, I don't know if you have any intention in this regard?" The assistant bent over and said with a smile on his face, and the honorific was already used in his words.
"I'm sorry, I already have a company that has signed a contract, and I may have to ask my agent first about advertising endorsements." Lee Sang-hyuk showed an apologetic expression and nodded slightly.
"Well, of course we understand this and have contacted it, but your company seems to have other concerns, or it doesn't understand the sincerity of our side, and the contract has not been negotiated." The assistant paused with a smile and said, "So in order to show our sincerity, our company sent the director of the department to come over in person, just to cross the economic company to ask for your own opinion, I hope you can think about it carefully." β
"I'll think about it." Lee Sang-hyuk nodded and said.
"If you are worried that the endorsement remuneration is not generous enough, then you don't have to, our company will definitely give you a satisfactory remuneration." At this time, Gu Dashan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said with a proud face.
"Well, thank you." Lee Sang-hyuk glanced at him in surprise, feeling that there was no need to stay any longer, and then bowed slightly, nodded with the assistant on the side, turned around and quickly caught up with the classmates in front of him, and walked into the player waiting room in the e-sports hall together.
And behind ....
"Isn't the company looking for profit maximization? When was such a promise given? The assistant standing next to Gu Dashan looked at the head of the room who had just 'spoken amazingly', and couldn't help but secretly shake his head in his heart and smile bitterly,
......
This time, the top 16 of the Samsung Cup National High School E-sports League are divided into eight games, and the winners will enter the top eight. The round was divided into two days, with four matches lined up in one day, and Lee Sang-hyuk and his Gwangju High School were drawn in the order of the day, and the team against was the varsity team of a mixed high school called 'Dekai' in Busan.
Naturally, there is no shortage of machines in the standby room of the Seoul E-sports Stadium to allow players to warm up their hands when waiting before the game, so after the other players in the University of Science and Technology team entered the standby room, they each chose a machine, took out their own peripherals to access, and trained nervously.
Lee Sang-hyuk didn't have the consciousness of this, and after putting his bag in the waiting room, he went to the aisle of the audience in front of the competition stage in front of him alone, and looked at these luxurious e-sports facilities in the competition venue of the e-sports hall with a slight curiosity in his heart.
At this time, the first game was about to start, and most of the spectators who came to watch the scene had already entered and taken their seats, and some viewers couldn't help but excitedly come up to ask for autographs and photos after recognizing Lee Sang-hyuk wandering in the aisle next to the audience.
After satisfying the demands of several enthusiastic fans, Lee Sang-hyuk realized that he couldn't move around like this anymore, so he simply pulled on his collar and walked to the staff standing in front of the stage to maintain order.
"Well, hello, can you get me a seat?" After showing the identity card of the contestant, Lee Sang-hyuk stepped forward and said with some trepidation.
"Huh?" After casually glancing at the identity card of Lee Sang-hyuk's contestant, the staff who turned sideways to Lee Sang-hyuk couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "Are you the player who is going to compete today?" Didn't the backstage arrange a waiting room for you? How not..."
"Ah, you are. SmileοΌ At this time, the staff who suddenly turned around and saw Lee Sang-hyuk, whose chin was covered by the collar of his jacket, couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked carefully with some uncertainty.
"Well, I'm Lee Sang-hyuk." Seeing that the staff recognized him, Lee Sang-hyuk simply pulled down the collar of his shirt and said with a smile.
"It's really you, ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you before." The staff is very young, and it seems that they are also Lee Sang-hyuk's e-sports fans, and after seeing Lee Sang-hyuk's appearance, they immediately nodded and apologized.
"It's okay, if I don't have a free seat, I'd better go back to the waiting room." Lee Sang-hyuk shook his head with a smile and said.
"I'm really sorry, the seats in the audience are indeed sold out, and there should be people." The young staff immediately said apologetically, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he stopped Lee Sang-hyuk, who turned around and wanted to go back to the waiting room, "Please wait a minute, I remembered, there should still be space in the guest seats, and this kind of event is generally not satisfied there." β
"Huh, guest seats?" Lee Sang-hyuk hesitated for a moment and asked with some uncertainty, "Is that okay?" β
"Of course, I'll ask the above and it's fine." The staff immediately took out the walkie-talkie to explain the situation here, and emphasized the identity of Lee Sang-hyuk, and the organizers naturally did not have any opinions.
Originally, who would have an opinion on the guests who could be invited without any appearance fee?
