"You're such a busy person, it's really hard to meet you! It's fine if you don't come, not even Xu Xian!" The middle-aged man joked: "But this time she acted really well, the director The control is also good..."
Listening to the professor talking a lot, Li Menglong would still be willing to listen if nothing happened, but Li Sang Hyuk was sitting aside and waiting.
Li Menglong made an excuse to go to the bathroom and ordered some fried chicken for Li Sang Hyuk. Looking at the military backpack behind him, Li Menglong knew that this kid had made up his mind.
I chatted with Professor Liang Shouzhen for almost an hour. This is Xu Xian’s acting teacher, and he is also one of the people who is optimistic about Li Menglong. He is also a talkative person who has directing theory but no practical experience.
"Okay, I will introduce the director to you if I have a chance in the future!" Li Menglong said politely.
"Menglong knows a lot of people. I wonder if you know any directors who are currently filming. I'll be fine this summer. I can just go and do some odd jobs!"
Li Menglong knew that it wasn't that the other party couldn't find anyone else, but that his status was a bit high after all. Without saying anything, you asked a professor to do odd jobs on the set? So his friends just rejected it.
"I don't know many people, but I will help you find out!" What else could Li Menglong say.
"Well, then I'll wait for your news." After saying that, he shook the phone to show that he already had his phone number: "Who is this? Is this a new actor you like?"
In the spirit of teaching and educating people, Liang Shouzhen looked at the cold Li Sang Hyuk in front of him, as if he saw a seedling, but was immediately defeated by the other person's indifferent expression.
Finally, the professor was sent away. When he saw that the food in front of Li Sang Hyuk was not moving at all, Li Menglong knew that this was because the boy was worried about his future or even the credibility of Li Menglong's words.
Li Menglong took two more pieces of fried chicken and walked down with him. Lee Sang Hyuk followed and looked at the basement curiously. It seemed that his future working environment would be here.
But when he opened a door, he immediately turned around and looked at Li Menglong with a blushing face. He wanted to ask if he had gone to the wrong room and place. What were these beauties doing?
"Don't be shy, these are all colleagues from now on! Say hello!" Li Menglong took off his backpack from behind and pushed him.
Exid is naturally much more normal than Lee Sang Hyuk. While saying hello, he was a little confused that this shy handsome boy also wants to be a star? It seems that this character is not suitable!
"Hello, my name is Lee Sang Hyuk!"
"We will be practicing together in the future, please take care of me!" Solji said hello as the eldest sister.
"They also play lol?" Li Menglong miraculously read Li Sang Hyuk's question in his eyes.
It is true that Lee Sang Hyuk is completely confused now. Although he is not discriminating against women, and there are indeed many girls who play well, the e-sports industry still seems to be dominated by male players.
And speaking of conscience, if these people come to be teammates, why would he, Lee Sang Hyuk, get so angry and talk about them? He is so embarrassed to even say a word, and he vaguely feels that it is a waste to have them as professional e-sports players!
Lee Soon Kyu was laughing so hard over there that this misunderstanding was really too funny, but it’s not their fault. Who would have thought that an entertainment company also has an e-sports department!
The eldest brother on the side saw the eldest sister smiling so happily, and he also grinned. Then he turned over and lay on the floor, patting the floor hard with his little hands. He cried after slapping twice - it hurt!
Lee Soon Kyu was really laughing and he quickly picked up Liu Zhihao. This kid even came over to make fun of him. He really inherited his father's legacy.
Li Menglong couldn't stop laughing, because Lee Sang Hyuk was already on the verge of blowing up. He quickly introduced the identities of both parties: "These five are the exid group, the future big stars of our company! And this is Lee Sang Hyuk, our future gaming team. Captain!”
Although I was a little puzzled, after all, the two projects could not be achieved with eight poles, we still sat on the ground together and ate fried chicken. The eldest brother stopped drinking milk, so Lee Soon Kyu could only peel off the fried skin of the fried chicken and get some tiny pieces of meat for him to eat.
"You don't have to worry. Although the company is still small, it does not make decisions casually. The reason for signing you at the same time is because you have advantages in your respective industries!" Li Menglong gave several people reassurance.
"In the future, when you get tired of playing games, come dance with these noonas! When you get tired of dancing, go over and play games. How perfect!" Li Menglong announced the slogan: "Then from now on you will be the best in the idol world in lol My female idol, you are the best dancer in lol, perfect!”
Everyone just expressed their opinions about Li Menglong's idea. Only our eldest brother was quite generous. Not only did he once again perform the unique skill of slapping the floor, but he also performed a trick called Water Flooding the Golden Mountain.
After letting a group of women do the work, Li Menglong took Li Sang Hyuk out and went up to the second floor: "You can stay here from now on and make a room to practice!"
"Why don't those nuna come up?"
"They said it would be fine if they were still trainees and could be underground!" Li Menglong said casually while still looking at which room was suitable.
"Then I have to stay underground. After all, I am just a member who has just arrived and I am not qualified to come up!" Li Sang Hyuk said firmly.
"Have you fallen in love with someone in there? Although I don't prohibit falling in love, don't let it progress so fast!" Li Menglong asked curiously. Li Sang Hyuk had already figured out some of Li Menglong's bad habits, especially for these sudden jokes, he blocked them with his natural indifference.
"What did you tell your family?" Li Menglong could guess something without seeing Li Sang Hyuk's family coming together.
"Noisy! What else can you do!" Li Sang Hyuk said simply, but the loneliness in it could not be explained clearly in one sentence.
"Work hard, show it to them, and show it to ourselves!" Patting the half-grown boy on the shoulder.
"I want to practice now!" Lee Sang Hyuk said.
Li Menglong began to make calculations based on the various news he learned in the past few days. The biggest problem with this team is that there is no sponsorship. Many teams are only established after they have financial sponsors.
Therefore, Li Menglong invested all the funds in the early stage. Only after the team becomes famous will it gradually break even. However, it is impossible to make money. After all, once the team becomes famous, the value of the players will also increase.
However, no team is purely for making money. What they want is influence. After all, the consumption level of gamers is still relatively high, and to make money, you need to win at least one world championship.
There is still a series of ways to go to win the world championship. First, a team of at least 6 people, then equipped with coaches and analysts, start playing offline games, win the promotion game, and finally advance to the Korean LCK main event.
At this point, you have basically gained exposure, and every game is broadcast live, at least you won't starve to death. In the LCK spring and summer competitions, the top three players in points can compete in the S-series World Championship. If they win again, the bonus alone will be over one billion Korean won.
The only thing that works for Li Menglong now is that time is good. This season has just ended. If everything goes well, he will be able to see his team appear in the LCK this winter.
What he now has is the cornerstone of the team - coach, analyst, team leader and main player Lee Sang Hyuk.
"Someone will come to help you with some chores. He may have to come later!" Li Menglong calculated that it was almost time for the fat man to come out, so he was sentenced to only half a month longer than him. After all, he was still guilty of crashing a car.
"So what you have to do now is to find good players, pick equipment, and set a promotion route. You can tell me other chores that need to be handled by me. As for money, how much does a player usually cost?"
He is not timid just because he talks about money. After all, if Li Menglong never mentions money, he will be worried: "It mainly depends on the results. Without results, the salary is very low, and there are also bonuses from various competitions."
The price he gave was similar to what Li Menglong knew, so Li Menglong temporarily gave the team members 1 million per month. After all, the ones Li Sang Hyuk could find were unknown.
Then Lee Sang Hyuk and Lee Meng Yong wanted to give him more because he had multiple jobs, but this guy refused directly. In his words: This is my dream, I don’t need sympathy!
So Li Menglong simply gave him all the power. As for computers and other things, Li Shunkyu had already decided on them. They were all the latest models. At least it would be a waste to play LoL.
Rented a house for them not far away, and even if Lee Sang Hyuk officially settled down, there was a team practice room next to the girl group's practice room. There was no one with such a configuration, and there was a fried chicken restaurant and takeout above. All the effort is saved.
The happiest people about this configuration are the gangsters in the store. After all, it is not appropriate for them to be good guys and kill people. Chasing stars and gaming are simply all they have.
Now when you are tired from work, you can come down and relax. Occasionally, exid will dance for a few people when they are in a good mood. And if you are bullied in the game, you can ask people like Lee Sang Hyuk to help. You really can't ask for more in life.
However, Li Menglong was not satisfied with this, because he really had no money now, so he called Lee Sang Hyuk and Lee Soon Kyu over. He wanted to make money from this game, and now that he had invested everything, he naturally wanted to take it back. .
"I want you to understand the development direction of our team!" Li Menglong then took out his notebook and analyzed it carefully for the two of them.
To put it simply, LoL teams rely on their records to prove themselves. The better the results, the more fans they will have. Otherwise, they won’t look at you more just because you are handsome.
However, Li Menglong's idea is to expose himself, just like running a group. Don't worry about my own conditions first, unconditionally expose myself to various opportunities, and then talk about performance.
This road is definitely a new attempt for e-sports, and according to Li Menglong's idea, the gimmick of Li Shunkyu and her team is not too bloody, and they are making money every minute.
After all, when games and girls' generation are combined, it is irresistible to the majority of otakus. Just look at the waiters in your own store and you will know.
But the shortcomings of this are also extremely obvious. Lee Soon-kyu's side is fine, but the attention and pressure received by Lee Sang-hyuk and his team are directly proportional. Once they say they can't advance or lose certain games, they will be scolded. There must be so many people.
