Chapter 165: K1, Gone?
Kkoma doesn't understand.
The news that Manager Zhao told him just now......
He walked into the training room and clapped his hands.
"Let's stop for a moment, there's something tomorrow, I'll inform you now."
Xu Ruoguang turned around and looked at him suspiciously.
"Here, we need to shoot a promotional video, and the time is probably tomorrow."
"What's the promo? LPL? ”
Xu Ruoguang asked subconsciously.
This is actually very common, and it is not the first time to shoot a promotional video before the finals, and it usually takes not much time, at most it will be completed in one afternoon.
Kkoma paused,
"It's not."
"It's an endorsement promotional video."
"Huh?"
Xu Ruoguang's first reaction was that you are kidding me?
You know, this is K1.
Under the double guarantee of LeTV's control and contract, it has been said that it is impossible to shoot a promotional film without affecting training.
The finals are about to start, and this period is about to make endorsements?
Xu Ruoguang is first and foremost a professional player, and then the top of the league.
This request is clearly unreasonable.
Does LeTV make money?
Not bad at all!
So what's going on with this endorsement?
KKOMA also showed a puzzled expression, "To be honest, I don't understand it either, and it stands to reason that this shouldn't happen." ”
"But I called Manager Zhao, and the reply I got was that it was best to take a day out and shoot this endorsement."
"What are you going to do, Ruoguang? There is a clause in the contract about this, and you have the right to refuse. ”
Kkoma asked.
Xu Ruoguang fell into deep thought.
His way of thinking has always been to see the essence through appearances.
On the surface, LeTV does not talk about martial arts and forcibly asks players to make money by filming endorsements, so, what is their purpose?
Although most of the economic contracts of professional players are millions of dollars now, this is a contract for the whole person.
How much can you earn from an endorsement?
Hundreds of thousands of tops of the sky.
Is it necessary for LeEco to make this money?
Moreover, this is a fishing for all the time.
You must know that after K1 won the championship, the commercial value really took off.
Although it is said that it has appeal now, it is not justifiable to not win the championship, and it is impossible to compare it with after winning the championship.
LeTV, what's the hurry?
There was a weirdness about this from beginning to end.
Xu Ruoguang was silent for a while and nodded.
"Okay, I'll shoot."
He couldn't refuse.
If you refuse, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any more moths.
Fortunately, there shouldn't be much time for an endorsement, at most a day.
Kkoma breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that Xu Ruoguang would not agree.
It's not that KKOMA doesn't think about Xu Ruoguang, it's KKOMA who thinks about Xu Ruoguang that I hope he agrees.
The arm can't twist the thigh, and this thing is weird everywhere.
The best thing to do now is to stop the seizure and find the cause.
The school told you to pay the fee voluntarily, you don't really think it's voluntary, right?
It's the same for endorsements.
After kkoma left the lounge, the K1 group quit the game and sat down.
Snack while chatting.
Ah Shui is heartless, but Aya Hirano and Godv are very smart.
They're all older generation esports players, and they've seen so much.
"You say, should we change the boss?"
Aya Hirano, after much deliberation, uttered such a sentence.
His face was heavy.
At this time, changing bosses is not good news.
Aya Hirano also thinks that the possibility is very low, but he is a pessimistic person who likes to think in the worst direction of everything.
The strategy of the sudden change is to ask the contestants to make money by filming endorsements.
It's everyone who knows something is wrong.
"It's impossible, at most the manager's superiors have changed, and the operation strategy has changed."
Although godv also felt that it was wrong, it was obviously not as pessimistic as Aya Hirano.
He thinks that at most, the person in charge of e-sports at LeTV has changed, and the newcomers like to follow the marketing strategy, that's all.
What is the relationship between LeTV and K1?
LeEco created a branch, KING ONE Culture Co., Ltd., and then attached K1 to this branch.
The person in charge of the branch is a senior executive of LeTV, including Manager Zhao, who belongs to the minister.
Now that the recall is not impossible, it is not impossible to change a group of people.
"What are you talking about?"
Ah Shui um made potato chips, completely outside the condition.
He really didn't understand anything.
After all, I'm young now.
Xu Ruoguang agrees with Godv's view.
Change bosses?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
The current K1 is a fighter in the rooster because of the egg gold.
LeTV is not stupid, no matter how small the volume of e-sports is, it is good for capitalists to make money.
After all, it was a group of ruthless characters who dared to sell other people's ropes and then hang themselves.
K1 is a proper high-quality asset and a unicorn in the industry.
Is it necessary to sell this?
Even if the results are poor, MSI and Spring have already won the championship, and this LPL is already the only one of the scorpions.
Is it necessary for LeEco to sell K1?
It doesn't make sense.
Xu Ruoguang also tended to change the person in charge at most.
"Could it be some kind of change in the fortunes of the wealthy families, and now we are involved in the whirlpool of their struggles?"
Scout had a whim.
Xu Ruoguang was speechless and held his forehead, "Xiao Cang, although I know that there are many such ethical dramas in South Korea, we are just a club, so it is nothing." ”
"What do you usually look at?"
Li Xiaocan was a little unconvinced, "I really haven't watched any Korean ethical dramas." ”
"It's just that I recently watched the temptation to go home called something."
Xu Ruoguang: Understood.
He's a little numb, who the hell is scout looking at this thing?
Ah Shui?
He looked at Ah Shui, who was still making potato chips.
No way, not him.
Little peanuts?
It's even more impossible.
Viagra and Aya Hirano are also very serious about training on weekdays, and they basically don't have time.
Xu Ruoguang himself can swear to the sky that he has never done such a thing.
It's weird.
Everyone discussed for a long time, but nothing was discussed.
It's okay to let them play games, but it's really not good to play this kind of brain-burning.
"No, we're players, just do our job."
Ah Shui said with a big grin.
He really didn't have any pressure.
Xu Ruoguang was silent for a while and smiled.
"You're right."
yes, why do you care so much?
The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, is it possible that the club will be disbanded?
The next day, Xu Ruoguang followed the team to the filming site.
The endorsement of today's shooting is classic.
Mercedes Benz!
Xu Ruoguang sat in front of the computer and pretended to press the keyboard a few times.
The camera cuts to the computer screen, and the victory sign appears.
Xu Ruoguang raised his head slightly, revealing a confident smile.
"Break through yourself, be determined to move forward, and cheer for us."
A sentence will be typed at this time later.
Mercedes-Benz helps K1 compete in the S6 World Finals, and the new model is now on sale!
One thing to say, this endorsement is really not too difficult to shoot.
But......
"Hahahahahaha, my brother Diguang, why do you look so stupid!"
"Hahahahaha Break through yourself and move forward! Wuhu ~ hahahahahahahahaha ”
"Is this Brother Guang's evil smile hahaha"
"Hey, one ancient!"
"Assi. Really...... Why is it so funny, kkk?"
A black line appeared on Xu Ruoguang's forehead, almost red.
This group of little B cubs is really disgusting!
"Almost, laugh at me?"
"You don't have any juice to eat!"
Xu Ruoguang said viciously.
It's a pity that the invincible tricks of the past have completely lost their effect, and Ah Shui laughed even louder.
In the end, it was the director who came over and called for people, and they stopped.
The second person to take his turn was Aya Hirano.
Aya Hirano stretched and rubbed her wrist.
Put on the K1 team uniform and smile evilly.
"Fight for love!"
The classic Mercedes-Benz advertising slogan in the later period is naturally there.
Xu Ruoguang's scalp was numb in the audience, damn, Mercedes-Benz really has a hand in playing embarrassing.
In the future, if you want to buy a car, only a sports car, never a Mercedes-Benz!
I heard that there is a Cullinan who is quite handsome, should you consider it?
Xu Ruoguang thought with his cheeks raised.
Aya Hirano's face was red, and he was also embarrassed.
"Brother Guang, I seem to understand you."
"Forget it, you just laughed so loudly!"
Xu Ruoguang, very resentful!
The third, naturally, is Godv.
Godv's is even more embarrassing.
He touched his stomach and made a satisfied expression.
There was a voice from outside the door, and Godv's expression became serious and he stood up.
"Crush doubts and move forward for your dreams!"
After saying this, the corners of Godv's mouth twitched.
He couldn't hold it anymore.
I don't know where Mercedes-Benz is looking for some marketing talents, but I really picked up a ghost.
Ah Shui showed a confident smile, and the picture was the famous scene of his Lucian killing three times in MSI.
"Unswerving, fight for the future!"
He said this with a serious appearance, and his toes were already tightly buckled.
Ah Shui's business level is still okay, although it is somewhat open.
Scout appeared with Little Peanut, the two of them stretched out their hands to hold it, and then made resolute eyes and looked at the screen together.
"Together, for the unyielding faith!"
In the end, the six of them sat together in a Mercedes-Benz, and Xu Ruoguang lit the fire and showed a confident smile.
The endorsement promo video ends.
One thing to say, the final effect is still okay.
But it's a bit embarrassing.
The rotten reveals a little good, and the good reveals a little bad.
Good and bad.
After filming, Xu Ruoguang, who returned to the base, immediately began to kill.
He didn't forget the laughter of the group of ** cubs just now!
Special Training! Special Training!
Especially Ah Shui.
First of all, Ah Shui, who committed the sin of arrogance.
Because before he filmed, he pointed at the finished film of God (Xu Ruoguang), so arrogant naturally it is difficult to achieve great things, and this is exactly the case.
At this time, Ah Shui needs to survive under the capture of the four.
Doesn't Ah Shui like waves?
Straight to you playing for hours real.
And this training not only trained Ah Shui, but also trained Aya Hirano.
Xu Ruoguang called Uzi and Meiko, and filled Ah Shui with the line.
Then let Scout and godv simulate four packs of two.
Strive to enjoy the catch of the Emperor of Ah Shui.
Shui: Thank you!
This kind of training will continue forever.
But, here we go again!
"Again? Shoot again? ”
Xu Ruoguang had a headache for the first time.
Is there an end?
"I'll go find Manager Zhao."
He pursed his lips and got up.
Kkoma didn't stop him, just said seriously.
"Don't be impulsive, ask why."
Xu Ruoguang didn't look back and waved his hand.
He walked to the door of Manager Zhao's office and knocked on the door.
"Who?"
Manager Zhao's voice came from inside the door.
"I, Xu Ruoguang."
Xu Ruoguang said calmly.
“…… Come on in. ”
I vaguely heard Manager Zhao's sigh.
Xu Ruoguang opened the door, and Manager Zhao sat on the chair, stood up, and smiled.
"You're here, Ruoguang."
Xu Ruoguang didn't say hello, and asked bluntly,
"What the hell is going on?"
"Didn't we negotiate a contract before? This sudden endorsement has completely squeezed our training time. ”
"Manager Zhao, I need an explanation."
Manager Zhao's smile remained unchanged,
"It's normal to take endorsements or something once in a while, right?"
"It's normal, but it's too frequent, after the game on the 14th, I went to shoot on the 15th, and then I had to shoot again on the 16th today, what's the situation?"
Xu Ruoguang asked puzzled.
"It's too often."
"It's completely to the point where it affects training."
Manager Zhao's smile faded,
"I don't want to see this kind of situation."
"Then why ......"
"Because K1 has no money now."
"Huh?"
Manager Zhao's words made Xu Ruoguang suddenly blindfolded.
"Out of money?"
"Yes, there's no money."
"Manager Zhao, are you kidding?"
Xu Ruoguang never thought that the reason was this.
How ridiculous?
K1 backed by LeTV, there is no money.
"I know you can't believe it, and I can't believe it when I get the news."
Manager Zhao sighed.
"Do you know what's going on with LeTV?"
He walked up to Xu Ruoguang and patted Xu Ruoguang on the shoulder.
"In May this year, there was already a problem with LeEco's supplier, and the market supervision department has been investigating."
"In August this year, on the day of your competition, Mr. Jia had already left here."
"Why? Because the hole can't be plugged anymore. ”
"The previous investigation was originally very unsmooth, but because he announced his entry into esports again, the speed of the investigation was accelerated."
"All of the above was told to me by my superiors."
Xu Ruoguang was silent for a moment, these news were shocking enough.
But......
"But what does all this have to do with K1?"
"It doesn't matter much, but it does."
"Because of the formal fund investigation process now, K1's account will be frozen from time to time for investigation, can you be clear about this concept?"
"In this case, the current K1 can no longer afford a stable penny, even the rent here."
"Without Mr. Jia, the board of directors is now in a mess, and K1 has to accept the conditions of the new board of directors and shoot endorsements for LeTV."
Manager Zhao smiled bitterly,
"It's not much, but they don't want to let go of a penny."
Xu Ruoguang exhaled,
"In other words, K1 may be short of money at any time now, which is why we endorse so frequently, right?"
"Well, but you don't have to worry about it."
Manager Zhao comforted him.
"It's impossible for LETV to fall, even if it falls, it doesn't have much to do with K1."
"When the investigation is over and we know how big the hole is, we should adjust it quickly."
He spoke confidently and was full of trust in LeTV.
From God's point of view, he was right.
Although Accountant Jia has become an old man, LeEco relies on copyright to live quite well.
Cashing out and leaving, it is the capital and the money of shareholders who are not clear, and it really has little to do with the staff of LeTV.
Now the problem with K1 is to be investigated, so sometimes you can't get the money.
That's the problem.
Xu Ruoguang finally knew why.
Without further ado, he walked out of the office.
Xu Ruoguang agreed to shoot.
It's not because he's bullshit for the club, it's just because he's qualified to refuse, and other teammates aren't qualified to do so.
This time is very difficult, but Xu Ruoguang is willing to accompany his teammates to go down.
It's useless to train alone.
Time passed slowly.
The sudden start of K1's filming endorsement has also caused heated discussions in major forums.
"K1 is starting to make money? Karma leek, right? ”
"Now you haven't even started marketing before you hit Xia Duel, right?"
"It's such a classic to open the champagne in advance, K1 really thinks that he is the champion nine times out of ten?"
"Something is wrong, I used to remember that K1 had never been filmed except for a game promo video, so why did it start all of a sudden?"
"Box in a box, K1 has no money, K1 is going to disband."
"You nucleate your horse, LeEco will be short of money?"
Someone with a heart went to check LeTV and immediately found the problem.
"That's not right, brothers,I just checked LETV,Now it's under investigation,The account funds have entered the review stage,Now LETV really has no money!"
“? Really? ”
"I checked it too...... It's true. ”
"Damn, won't you? What happens if K1 doesn't have money? ”
"I can't pay the rent of the club, I can't pay the salaries of the staff, and I can't afford to pay the electricity bills."
"What about the players?"
"Brother Guang's contract seems to be three years, repaired once a year, and this year's 15 million should have been hit in Brother Guang's card."
"Yes, as long as the player doesn't have an accident."
"But, what about the World Championship?"
As soon as this question came out, the worry in the audience's hearts was completely detonated.
"Indeed...... Worlds, what to do? ”
"Now that I'm forced to shoot commercials every day, I'm very skeptical about K1's current state."
"The training time is almost gone, and I'm afraid that such a K1 can't even beat RNG."
"It's not really going to disperse, is it...... K1。 ”
"Quite possibly...... What to do? Can everyone crowdfund? ”
"I'm a little dizzy right now, and I'm still counting on K1 to win the championship."
As LPL viewers, they are the most worried about the Worlds.
Now the originally invincible K1 has suddenly suffered a drastic change, and there may even be no money to rent the base.
So, the World Championship, can it still work?
Filming endorsements every day, the price is the rapid decline in training time.
So in this case, how much can K1's state be maintained?
Nobody knows.
K1 is gone.
This hot search quickly rushed to the top of Weibo's hot search list.
Burst!
Countless worried K1 fans went to the club's official account to ask, but there was no response.
"You speak!"
"What the hell is going on!?"
"I'm really disappointed, K1, how can you have an accident."
In this case, there is less than a week left for the final of the Summer Tournament.
