Chapter 789: Brother Jie is about to juggle the ball!
After the celebration banquet, we returned to the hotel to rest.
The next day, EDG members set out to visit various scenic spots in South Korea, including Itaewon, which Jiejie was reluctant to leave.
It's a pity that the current Itaewon doesn't have... at least not on the surface, the same services as before.
but.
Even if there is, Jiejie won’t be able to receive the red envelope.
After three days of fun, EDG boarded a plane back to China on the morning of the fourth day.
In the past, they would often hide their itineraries when flying back and forth, because although EDG also does marketing, they would focus on the game results and try to avoid affecting the players' conditions.
There was no need to hide this time.
When we landed, there was no sound of gongs and drums, firecrackers, or waving red flags at the airport reception area... but there was none of that.
But the words "huge crowds" are definitely worthy of mention.
"Brother Jie, look at me, look at me!"
"Ashui, mom loves you!"
“Meiko, Meiko!”
"Come on Wangzai!"
“…”
All the shouts mixed together could not stop a rough and bold sentence: "Director, I want to give birth to a baby for you——"
After hearing this, the factory manager looked up and immediately caught a glimpse of a figure that looked like Pig Girl's mount from the front row of the crowd... and it was actually a boar!
He couldn't help but activate the Clearlove Run skill engraved in his soul again.
He took two steps at a time and ran to the bus .
"It's so funny, Brother Changzi, your fans are really unique. "
A Shui carried the Summoner's Championship Trophy all the way, and before getting on the car, he raised the trophy with both hands, which received a lot of cheers and stole the limelight like the protagonist.
But there is nothing wrong with this publicity.
Except for Ah Shui who was born with supernatural powers, the other EDG players really couldn't lift this trophy weighing 65 kilograms.
“Go, go, go!”
The factory manager was annoyed: "I have a lot of female fans, but who knew that there would always be people like this who would come to cause trouble..."
“Hahahahahahahaha—”
“Hahahahahaha—”
“Absolutely!”
“…”
After a burst of laughter, Xing Dao teased: "Brother Changzi, your wet temptation back then seems to have gone in the wrong direction."
"Hiss—" The factory manager took a breath and said, "You are just bringing up something irrelevant, aren't you?"
"What is the wet body temptation? Tell me in detail." Jiejie acted in defiance of her teacher and ancestors out of curiosity.
"It was when they were shooting the promotional video. The factory guy was soaked all over, and he made a motion of stroking his hair up... It is said that he even showed his abdominal muscles." Xing Dao chuckled.
“Don’t mention it!” The factory manager was relieved when his dark history was exposed: “Those abdominal muscles were painted. A female makeup artist used various pens to paint them for more than an hour, but in the end, they were still one piece. When I saw that video, I wanted to punch the pig head in the monitor.”
"Isn't that you, the factory brother?" A Shui said with confusion.
"Yes, otherwise why would he be called a pighead!" The factory director spared no effort in making fun of himself.
This sparked another round of cheerful laughter.
"Go back and take a rest first. There will be a fan meeting in two days. After the meeting, everyone except those who are playing in the All-Star Game will have a day off." Abu said the next arrangement during the break: "I guess you can all be selected, but each team can only go for three people at most. You can discuss who will go and who won't."
"I won't go." The factory manager shook his head: "With my current skills, if I choose ten more Lee Sins, they will be kicked around like balls again."
"What are you afraid of, Brother Factory? If you go, I will protect you the whole way!" Xing said seriously.
"Go ahead and play with the whip. You're the only one who laughs the most happily!" The factory director pretended to be unhappy.
"If I could beat my teammates, Brother Jie would have to dribble the ball." A Shui made full use of the advantage of joining the team.
"Fuck, juggle the ball!"
"Hahahaha that's fucking great!"
"Yu Wenbo is really amazing!"
"What kind of train of thought are you using? Hahahahaha——"
“…”
We returned to the base laughing and joking all the way
After taking a shower and resting for a while, I went out for a celebratory dinner with my boss, Ed Zhu.
After returning to the club, we started discussing the live broadcast contract.
In the past two years.
There have also been major changes in the live streaming industry.
Zhanqi TV was forced to transform due to heavy losses, Longzhu TV basically gave up its gaming section, Menghu TV gradually surpassed Dousha TV in size, and Bilibili's live streaming channel is also thriving.
After some discussion.
The EDG players generally decided to renew their contract with Menghu.
On the one hand, the price is good, and on the other hand... there is indeed some metaphysics over there at Dousha.
There is no need to explain the previous example.
Look at SKT.
After S7 ended, the entire team signed with Dousha.
The S8 season sank directly.
Samsung S8 will explode, but at least it has a chance to explode in the World Championship. SKT didn’t even qualify for the World Championship... You know, even if the big devil Faker is a little older, his worst result is the runner-up in the S series!
You don't have to believe in metaphysics.
But when you can keep your distance, it is best to keep your distance.
"Brother Jie, we are old friends, so I won't say any nonsense."
The manager of Menghu TV directly laid out the conditions: "The platform has given me the right to earn 300 million yuan over three years. If I livestream for 60 hours a month, I will get full pay. If I livestream for 45 hours a month, I will get half pay. If you want to be a full-time livestreamer, the price will double, and the hours will be 120 hours a month... There are no requirements for popularity or gifts, and there is absolutely no responsibility. If you are not satisfied with anything, or want to add something, I will give you feedback."
"Everything else is fine, but there's one thing I want to change." Xing Dao responded: "I'll only sign for one year, and 100 million is enough."
"That would be a disadvantage for you, Brother Jie." The manager of Menghu TV said whatever he thought.
With three consecutive championships and a super grand slam, EDG's popularity has definitely reached an unprecedented height. Even if they can continue to win, their popularity will definitely be lower than it is now.
Not to mention that Riot Games will definitely make all-around weakening to the top lane.
Three hundred million in three years.
The first year certainly cannot be calculated as one third.
"Then help me get more."
Xing Dao really hadn't thought about it when he said that, and added: "Anyway, I will only sign a one-year contract, and I definitely won't sign more than that. There is one more thing I can tell you, which is that I will not consider going to other regions, and I will basically stay in EDG."
"That's easy!" The manager of Menghu TV was overjoyed. "I can't say how much more, but 150 million a year is definitely within our reach. If you, Jie, do live streaming full-time, 250-300 million is about right."
"Let's wait and see. We don't know how S9 will be modified yet." Xing Dao couldn't predict.
Follow the normal trajectory.
In addition to gradually nerfing the outstanding Aatrox, Irelia, and Akali in the S9 season, a plating mechanism will be added to the defense towers to greatly increase the benefits in confrontation.
But the situation is clearly different now.
The version set for the S8 finals did not impose any restrictions on EDG. Instead, it provided some subtle enhancements, which was the designers' help for EDG to complete their legendary journey.
Next, no matter what kind of weakening EDG suffers, there is no reason for it to speak out.
Let's stick to the facts.
Even if Riot Games no longer says it will not target any team as it did before, but instead explicitly makes its plans to restrict EDG and the top lane, it will not cause dissatisfaction among players.
——Who can withstand this kind of monster without a beating?
However.
To Xing Dao's surprise.
8.23, the version used in the S9 preseason, added a tower plating mechanism to maximize the snowball benefits.
But along with the update announcement, there is also a brand new rule...
