Chapter 55: The Spring Tournament Begins
"OK, that's over."
The videographer gestured to indicate that it was okay.
Yun Luoyang is now standing on the scenery belt along the Huangpu River, standing by the railing, not far from the Oriental Pearl TV Tower.
He looked up at the blue sky in the distance at a 45-degree angle, holding the railing with both hands, and the picture was frozen in this scene.
Hearing the cameraman's words, Yun Luoyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I filmed it for a day today, but in fact, the shot of him in the film was only about ten seconds.
Anyone who has watched the promotional video of the spring and summer games knows that the whole process is for several well-known star players to show up, engage in some late-stage five-mao stunts, say some inspirational words, and then match some sound.
But when you really shoot, you will find that shooting is still very tiring. Just for those few seconds of footage, I had to go to most of Zhonghai to shoot everywhere.
Finally finished filming, and it was already more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to the base.
Don't think that's the end of it, though.
The promotional videos after S5 are very short, about 1 minute.
But the promotional video of S3-S4 is longer, in addition to the appearance of the players, some game scenes and interview scenes must be added for editing.
The FD team was interviewed by Yun Luoyang, who sat in a chair and was interviewed by Penguin's official media.
The person who came to interview was a girl, in her 20s, a beautiful young lady, according to her age, she was a few years older than Yun Luoyang.
"Hello Tyro, I'm Penguin Esports reporter Xiaoxin."
"Hello Xiaoxin."
Yun Luoyang unconsciously moved his buttocks, and intuitively faced the camera lens, he was a little unnatural.
"How? How does it feel to win the pre-season? ”
Xiao Xin asked with a smile.
Yun Luoyang thought for a while and only replied with two words: "It's very cool." ”
"It's true that it's cool to win the championship. However, I've heard that the members of your team don't seem to be very old, and there are even 13-year-old players, so being so young means that sometimes you don't think about it maturely. As the big brother of the FD team, will you be under pressure? ”
"Of course, there is pressure. This group of guys is more uneasy than the other, and sometimes they can't pull back the nine cows. But they are still very obedient at critical times, and they are a group of good and well-behaved babies. ”
As if thinking of the group of naughty teammates in the team, Yun Luoyang showed a smile.
Except for Brother Saint Gun, who jumped a little bit, everyone else was actually fine.
Especially the iron-headed baby of the crayfish, Yun Luoyang also convinced him, and he was like his old father in the middle of the road, and shouted at him not to catch him, but the result was that he kept coming, and when he met this kind of reckless man, not to mention the emperor, faker is estimated to be worried.
"It seems that tyro is also very satisfied with the performance of his teammates, so what are your goals and thoughts for the upcoming LPL Spring League?"
Xiaoxin handed the microphone over.
Yun Luoyang said without any hesitation: "If the goal is to come back with another championship, of course." The experience of these lads is certainly not as good as that of WEA and IGA, but they are full of momentum and I believe they will bring unexpected surprises to the league. ”
Xiaoxin smiled: "Hehe, it can be seen that Tyro is very confident, and he deserves to be the top player in the World Championship." Although his teammates are all newcomers, they are full of momentum and very interesting. So let's wait and see what kind of wonderful performance the FD team will bring us in the spring season. ”
"Thank you Tryo for your time."
Seeing that the camera was turned off and the interview ended, Yun Luoyang finally felt a little more comfortable.
In front of the camera, he was actually very unnatural, the whole person was very tense and uncomfortable, and after the interview, he was much more relaxed.
Afterwards.
Xiaoxin also exchanged WeChat messages with him amicably, and on behalf of Penguin, she officially invited Yun Luoyang to participate in the opening ceremony of the first week on March 16.
Yun Luoyang happily accepted the invitation, he now has a very good relationship with the penguins, Mr. Ren favors him, often interacts with him on WeChat, and participates in activities that can maintain a good relationship with the penguins.
Time flies.
By the beginning of March, the 20-day in-team training had to be put on hold.
In addition to the promotional video of the Spring Match, Yun Luoyang and the entire FD team also had to attend some fan meetings or commercial promotions and other activities.
The whole team had to shoot some commercials from time to time, and the team members stood in front and back order, and everyone just had to take a photo with their hands on their chests.
Now the company has expanded a lot, and is learning from WEA, the network department has now applied for the position of the owner of the FD team's post bar, and at the same time opened the team's Weibo, established a large number of penguin groups, and absorbed the fans of the FD team.
With fans, of course, you can earn money by selling team uniforms and selling various peripherals.
This mode of operation was still very common in the early LPL, and the famous poor team WEA in the previous generation barely managed to reach S5 in this way and received capital injection.
After S5, a large amount of capital entered the e-sports market, and relying on the meager fan economy to eat was of course abandoned, but this does not mean that it will not work now.
As long as the team has achievements, whether it is playing Dota or LOL, it is absolutely impossible for the first-line team to run out of food.
It's like WEA, when it is in full swing in China, it is making a lot of money.
Now that a treasure store of the FD team is in full swing, Yun Luoyang and the FD team also have to attend some business activities to create profits for the company.
There's no way around it.
In 2014, Shaowan News published an article revealing the current situation of Chinese e-sports clubs, describing the situation of most clubs at that time.
At that time, the club had no fame, no fan base, and no big boss sponsorship, so life was actually miserable.
With the exception of WEA, which has a large fan base, other clubs are basically in the red, including royalty.
The royal family won two world runners-up, and various business events were frequently attended, but they were still not profitable. The club spends more than 10 and nearly 200,000 yuan per month, the income is not so high, and the loss situation is very serious, all of which are maintained by blood transfusions from the bosses behind the scenes.
Therefore, it can be said that the FD team is good now, at least with the fame of Yun Luoyang, and it can still learn from WEA, to a large extent, and stop a wave of losses.
After all.
Although there is a foundation of 50 million, I don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.
Now their team's monthly expenditure has reached more than 100,000 yuan, rent, water and electricity salaries. This does not include the company's side, the company now has more than 30 people, plus the team, there should be an expenditure of 400,000 a month, and it will be 5 million in a year.
Such a large sum of money is sent out, of course, you have to find a way to get it back.
Money can't stand the burn.
In March, the team had to go out to take a photo from time to time to endorse a certain peripheral, which delayed the team's training, and for a while, the whole team didn't adjust their state well.
I stumbled like this, and finally it was March 16, 2013.
The FD team had taken a bus to Taicheng in Sioux Province the day before, which was also the venue for the preseason tournament in January.
After more than a month of renovation, this esports town is much bigger than before.
It was actually a spacious courtyard before, and there was no cap on the head, and the stage facing the audience was like the stage of the theater, and the audience stretched their necks at the bottom, which seemed to be irregular at all.
It's different now.
Penguin invested a lot of money to build an esports pavilion, which was very luxuriously renovated and could accommodate 3,000 spectators at the same time.
Affected by the S2 championship, the number of LOL players has increased, and the current event attention has almost reached the attention of S4, and the audience is much larger than that of the previous spring game.
By March 16, a large number of spectators gathered in the square outside the e-sports exhibition hall.
Some beautiful COS ladies stood in the various exhibition halls of the square scratching their heads, various e-sports self-media competed to interview and take pictures, the staff of the penguins maintained order at the entrance, and there were lewd men with cameras on their chests and certain purposes interspersed, and the crowds were so crowded.
At 9 o'clock, the team's vehicles stopped at the entrance of the players, and the fans gathered, especially when the two teams WEE and FD arrived, and the scene erupted in enthusiastic cheers, which was much stronger than the scarcity of playing TGA in the S2 period.
Yun Luoyang greeted the fans when he got off the bus, and the passage was guarded by security guards, but he still walked over with the fans all the way to express his gratitude to them.
Well.
The hands are silky, and there are many female fans.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the much-anticipated first LPL Spring Tournament officially opened!
