I am not an artist when I am reborn

Chapter 339
Chapter 49 E-Sports Girl

LCK Council Headquarters.

The headquarters of the LCK Council was originally in a dedicated office building. Originally, Chi Enya, the mascot, never thought of moving the headquarters after taking office. However, with the political turmoil and the strong rise of Su Jinxing, the chaebol faction won a round. As Su Jinxing As a close confidant, Chi Enya's status also rose with the tide, and she, the puppet president, also began to take power.

Last year, when SKT achieved the triple crown club achievement, the entire LCK was in a carnival stage. With the support of SKT, Samsung and other established clubs, the headquarters relocation was completed and the LCK Council was moved to a brand new e-sports venue - Qingtian E-sports. center.

This e-sports venue invested and built by Sunny Capital is located in Incheon and is used for top duels in major e-sports events. For example, this year’s League of Legends LCK S7 Summer Finals was held at the Sunny E-sports Center.

Moreover, the LCK will also be responsible for hosting the S8 Global Finals next year. The result of discussions between Riot Headquarters and the LCK is that the final showdown of the global finals will be held at the Qingtian Esports Center tomorrow.

This time Su Jinxing came over to discuss with Riot Games the candidates for next year’s League of Legends virtual girl group KDA.

The car stopped steadily at the entrance of the Sunny Esports Center in the center of Incheon.

When there are no e-sports events, the flow of people at the Sunny E-sports Center is not large. Since its establishment, this place has existed as a venue representing the highest level of Korean e-sports. The regular season will not be held here, only the finals. It will be held here, and it won’t be held many times a year.

In Qingtian Esports Center, Su Jinxing met Chi Enya and the person in charge from Riot Headquarters.

The two parties discussed the selection of candidates for the KDA women's team, and Riot's idea was to recruit new members.

They don’t want members of girl groups who have been around for a long time. This is Riot’s attempt. The more blank a girl group is, the more suitable it is for their concept.

There is no new girl group from SM company, the latest newcomer is GFriend, Riot Games is not satisfied.

Of course, Su Jinxing could not give up, so he proposed that there would be a new talent show next year, and Riot Games would be able to select candidates through this variety show.

The person in charge of Riot agreed.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree. Most of the resources of K-pop idols are in the hands of this young man who is not Korean. Riot Games has wanted to cooperate with Su Jinxing from the beginning. If they don’t cooperate with him, many things will be very difficult. It’s difficult to move forward.

It is true that Riot Games is a world-class game company, but it is not yet at the level of a dragon that can overpower local snakes.

If we can cooperate with Su Jinxing and have the help of Han Ouhui, it will be much easier to implement KDA.

After finishing the conversation with the person in charge of Riot Games, Su Jinxing called for his assistant.

"Inform Ding Zhongming that Sakura should not go back to the dormitory after practice. Take her to the wilderness. I have something to ask her about."

"Guess." The assistant bowed and left. Su Jinxing and Chi Enya returned to the office together.

"President Nim."

Seeing Chi Enya, whose temperament has changed drastically and whose aura has become stronger, Su Jinxing only said that things are changing so fast.

"Is this year's global finals about to begin?" Su Jinxing asked.

"Well, it's confirmed."

"No?" Su Jinxing frowned. Chi Enya shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake. There was no way to end the report.

Chi Enya organized her words.

"Two of our teams in the LCK this time entered the semi-finals, and defeated the RNG team and we team from the LPL in the quarter-finals, and advanced to the finals together."

Su Jinxing's dusty memory was awakened.

As a summoner who often pays attention to the game, how could he forget this damn S7.

"SKT and SSG join forces in the Bird's Nest?" Su Jinxing asked.

Chi Enya took a careful look at Su Jinxing's face. She couldn't see anything strange, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"In the LCK, we can definitely win the championship and runner-up."

Su Jinxing nodded, still a little annoyed, but it didn't matter.

Anyway, next year will be the first year of birth for Incheon people.

E-sports is a bit of a mystical thing, and Su Jinxing is reluctant to touch it.What if he formed a galactic battleship and then crashed?
Galaxy battleship crashes have almost become a rule.

Let nature take its course, as you love.

"Bird's Nest... let's contact Riot Games and see if we can arrange for one of our people to show up?" Su Jinxing said.

"Probably not. This year's promotional song is sung by China's Mandarin King. It's hard to win."

Your fists are not sand dollars. If you don't use the good Jay Chou, use idols like you who can't beat you?
"That's right." Su Jinxing nodded, a little greedy.

"Get ready for the global finals next year."

"Inside."

"Qingtian Pictures has cooperated with Tengxun to create an APP called Qingtian Video, which is used to broadcast Korean entertainment. I am going to open an LCK window, and you will arrange for people to connect with Qingtian Pictures."

"Korean entertainment broadcast?" Chi Enya looked at Su Jinxing in confusion, what did this mean.

"After the Korean ban, you can't watch Korean dramas, Korean movies, Korean variety shows, etc. through regular channels. Fans of SM company's activities can watch them through SMTOWN APP, but if they are outside the scope of SM, they can't watch them. This sunny day video is used To solve this problem.”

Chi Enya was a little confused.

In such an environment, the president can still get the version number and open up a path to watch Korean entertainment. What kind of extraordinary method is this?
The awe in Chi Enya's heart became more and more intense.

"It's getting late. I have some things to arrange when I go back." Su Jinxing glanced at the time, stood up and said.

Chi Enya also stood up when she saw this.

"I'll take you."

"No need." Su Jinxing waved his hand, "Implement the LCK window matter as soon as possible. I want to see the LCK S8 Spring Split broadcast on Sunny Video."

"Ok."

It's just that broadcasting rights are not difficult to obtain, and they are not exclusive. Rare ones always mean exclusive ones.

Chi Enya respectfully sent Su Jinxing away before returning to his office.

……

SM Corporation, rooftop lounge.

The assistant came over with two cups of coffee.

"Minister Ding, Sakura xi coffee."

"Thank you, Assistant Jiang." Ding Zhongming said with a smile.

Although it has been some time since he was promoted to deputy minister, Ding Zhongming is still cautious and treats everyone with caution.

Today's SM company is monolithic to the outside world, but internally there are still many factions.

Kim Young-min, Min Hee-jin, Zhongli, Director Lin, etc.

Compared with the previous SM company, there are indeed many fewer factions, but now these few are not bad.

However, the former Li Xiuman could not suppress these factions and could only form checks and balances.But now Su Jinxing does have complete control over SM. With the current factional confrontation within SM, it is difficult to judge whether Su Jinxing is behind it.

After all, Ding Zhongming himself was a "domestic slave with two surnames", first named Jin and later Su.

Now that both Jin and Su are in the company, his position is very awkward.

Ding Zhongming's only way to survive now is to go all the way to the dark side and become an independent minister.

What is an independent minister?

The Dragonfly team, which only loyal to Su Jinxing and never interferes with the major factions, speaks one thing and another, is absolutely fair and impartial... Ahem, I went to the wrong set.

Anyway, he does whatever Su Jinxing tells him to do. He listens to other people's words if they are reasonable and ignores unreasonable ones. It doesn't matter who you are.

This kind of production method is the only way for him to survive in SM Company.

Assistant Jiang is the person close to Su Jinxing. Although his status is far less special than that of Cheng Dayong, and his power is not as great as that of Quan Taimin, he is still the person close to the president, and he must still be given the respect he deserves.

"You're welcome, Minister Ding. Please use it slowly. President Nim will be here soon." "Okay." Ding Zhongming smiled and nodded.

Next to Ding Zhongming, Sakura was staring at the coffee in trance. She didn't know why Su Jinxing was looking for her, so she just waited.

After Assistant Jiang left, Ding Zhongming glanced at Sakura who was in a daze, and he also speculated on Su Jinxing's intention of summoning Sakura alone.

As one of the middle and high-level people in the old building who can achieve "direct access to Tianting", Ding Zhongming clearly knows which trainees are special.

Needless to say about the little princess, all the ordinary employees of the company know about her, and only those brainless trainees dare to go against the little princess.

Jin Caiyuan recently became a disciple of Qian Hongzhu, the chairman of Qingya Yigao, and is considered a special trainee.

other people……

Nothing particularly noteworthy.

And Sakura, this girl who has been in the industry for many years, in Ding Zhongming's impression, is a Buddhist.

He learned this word from the president, and it is used to describe the kind of person who never fights or grabs, and always lies flat.

In his opinion, Sakura is just a Buddhist trainee.

The whole day is spent with a high degree of self-discipline, practicing, and playing games.

At two o'clock and one line, after practice, I go back to the dormitory to play games. After playing games, I go to bed. When I wake up, I continue to repeat the daily routine of the previous day.

it's very...

Let's just say she shows off. She practices hard every day. Although her voice is bad and her dancing is not great, her dancing skills are weirdly good and she works hard enough.

You can tell that she is motivated. Apart from practicing seriously during practice time, she spends the rest of her time playing games, playing games, and playing games. She is a pure internet addicted girl.

This……

The calmness of an old artist?
Anyway, Ding Zhongming didn't quite understand why Su Jinxing kept Sakura in the company.

Given Sakura's level, she would have been kicked out long ago according to the company's standards.

(Sakura is indeed quite good, but her stage performance is also very good... strange.)
In other words, according to the standards used when selecting Red Velvet, most of the current trainees will be eliminated.

But Su Jinxing changed the standard, which is very strange.

Ding Zhongming couldn't understand what Su Jinxing was doing. Was he so optimistic about the trainees he brought back?

These guys are not on the same level as GFriend.

Ding Zhongming didn't understand, but he didn't dare to say anything. Anyway, the president's decision would be enough to support it.

Su Jinxing came over not long after.

Ding Zhongming and Sakura stood up immediately.

"President nim!" Ding Zhongming bowed and greeted.

"President nim." Sakura followed suit and saluted.

"Sakura, follow me in." He nodded to Ding Zhongming, and Su Jinxing entered the office after saying a few words.

Sakura lowered her head and followed Su Jinxing into the office. Su Jinxing entered the office, and Ding Zhongming sat back down.

in the office.

"Sit down." Su Jinxing casually pulled out the chair, walked around the desk and sat on the chair.

Sakura was a little flattered. The president personally pulled out a chair for her. This kind of treatment...

He bowed to Su Jinxing and sat down opposite Su Jinxing with a slight movement.

Su Jinxing stared at Sakura's face.

Sakura felt a little uncomfortable when she saw her, but she endured the discomfort and kept her original movements.

"It's okay." Su Jinxing nodded and said. His nose was much better than in the impression. SM's fine-tuning was more in line with Su Jinxing's aesthetics, especially after changing to the hospital where Kim Taeyeon's replica machine was used. The trainee's own characteristics will also be retained when making facial adjustments.

This is undoubtedly much better than the previous "Kim Taeyeon Replicator".

"I've seen your monthly assessment results, they're very stable."

Sakura blushed, she was indeed quite stable.

Her vocal performance is stable and ranks third in Class A, and her dancing is also at a mid-range level. If it weren't for the A+ in stage performance, her overall evaluation might not even reach A-.

A- is the bottom level of Class A, the average level is A, and the highest level is S. However, since the establishment of SM, and since the five Toshin brothers debuted, there has never been a trainee with an S-level evaluation. That's an A+.

"You have been debuting for a long time, so I don't need to go into too much detail on many things. You should have noticed the gap in strength between your group of trainees and the members of GFriend and Red Velvet."

Sakura nodded upon hearing this.

It's obviously not the same grade.

"The entire market is going down. If we go by the original standards, it would be difficult to find so many good talents. I have a project to start next year. This is one of the reasons why I brought you trainees here."

"In addition, you all have certain outstanding points, and strength does not mean everything."

The one with the strongest overall strength in Red Velvet is Kang Seulgi, and the one with the strongest overall strength in GFriend is Choi Yoona.

But Red Velvet’s No. [-] in popularity is Bae Joo Hyun, and GFriend’s No. [-] in popularity is Jin Shaoqing.

Strength affects popularity, but it does not determine popularity.

There are a lot of combinations that are capable but fall into the street.

"Now that you have a chance, I'm ready to let you give it a try."

Sakura sat up straight after hearing this.

She is a Buddhist, not a show-off.

She would definitely try it if given the chance.

“Have you ever played League of Legends?”

Sakura nodded.

"How's the level?"

"Shirogane..." Sakura said sheepishly.

"Is it okay to get a diamond?"

Sakura: "...?"

"Forget it, gold."

Diamonds still require a bit of talent, although not much.

"Next year the League of Legends Global Finals will be held in South Korea, and they will select newly debuted female team members to participate in the production of virtual girl group music in the League of Legends universe."

Sakura's eyes lit up. Could it be that the chance the president mentioned was for her to join the virtual girl group?
And it’s Riot music, so this is a great opportunity!
"I will create the character of an e-sports girl for you. You can play the game well and strive to get gold as soon as possible."

"Guess!" Sakura responded immediately, her face full of excitement.

Looking at Sakura's expression, Su Jinxing raised his eyebrows.

Doesn't this person think that he will arrange a position as a member of the KDA girl group for her?

No, sister, you, a member of Riot Games, will give you a pass as soon as you hear it, okay?
However... there is no need to explain, the employees' motivation is quite good.

　Still owe 1.5w.
