China Entertainment Anchor

"Last night the rain was sparse and the wind was strong. I couldn't sleep off the hangover." Zhang Yang's phone rang again.

His first reaction was, could it be that Liu Yifei’s sixth sense was so strong? He just thought about it casually and the phone call came.

Zhang Yang picked up the phone and saw that it was Wang Sicong. Damn, he was shocked.

"Director Zhang, have you arrived in Incheon?"

"Yes."

"Tomorrow is our IG's S8 finals. Do you want to come and watch?"

S8 finals?
Zhang Yang was reminded of some memories by Wang Sicong. It seemed that IG won the championship this year and helped China win the first League of Legends World Championship.

Moreover, it seems that the finals are not the most popular, the most popular ones are the semi-finals.

IG played against G2. IG's top laner was like a god descending from the earth and hit four people with one blow, which broke G2's will and also showed the confidence and momentum of his team.

IG's team slogan this time was "Reach the Pinnacle", and no one expected that they would actually do it.

The team that China is unanimously optimistic about this season is the all-Chinese team RNG. Everyone is looking forward to UZI's rise to the top.

He's fine anyway, so it's nice to go over and take a look, just to relax.

"Okay, I'll go there by myself." Zhang Yang thought it would be too easy to enter the finals, after all, League of Legends was trained by Tencent.

Wang Sicong was not surprised by Zhang Yang's choice, as he was richer than himself.

"See you tomorrow then."

"it is good."

Zhang Yang hung up the phone and looked at his assistant.

The assistant said consciously: "I will contact Teng Xun right away."

He then pretended to be casual: "National sister, do you still want to contact the national first love?"

"No, why would I contact them? They are all plastic surgery freaks. Next time I talk about these things, show me their photos before the surgery."

It seems that there are no Korean stars who have not had plastic surgery. Some of them do not want to do so, but are forced to do so by the company, and they do not have the right to refuse.

In Korea, the status of celebrities is too low.

The assistant secretly despised his boss. He felt that his boss was just a coward and had the desire but not the courage to do something.

That afternoon, Zhang Yang returned to the hotel after his last roadshow. His assistant had already contacted Riot Games and told him to go directly to Incheon Munhak Stadium the next day.

At 3: pm on the rd, Incheon Munhak Stadium,
Zhang Yang, wearing a dark blue double-breasted wool coat and black jeans, stood outside the gymnasium with his assistant bodyguard.

The temperature in Incheon is similar to that in Dalian, China, only 11-5℃ in early November. Wearing a coat at this temperature is really warm and stylish.

When he walked to that station, he immediately attracted a lot of people's attention. Fortunately, he was wearing glasses, so most people didn't recognize him.

"Wenhe Gymnasium, why does this name sound familiar to me?" Zhang Yang murmured as he looked at the building in front of him.

"Boss, in 02, South Korea defeated Portugal here."

"I see. Fortunately, it's IG versus FNC this time. If they were playing against a Korean team, they would probably resort to underhanded tactics again." Zhang Yang shook his head jokingly. Koreans just can't afford to lose.

When the assistant and bodyguard Xiao Zhao heard Zhang Yang's words, they nodded silently. They also agreed with this point.

At this moment, many shouts were heard nearby.

“Go IG.”

“IG is awesome.”

"IG, go!"

Zhang Yang looked in the direction of the voices and saw that these people were all speaking Chinese.

He looked at the scene, and it felt like a home game here today. He could only say that the League of Legends fans who had been holding back for so many years were really horrible.

"Brother, you are Chinese, right? Take a cheering brochure before going in." A handsome guy in a black sweatshirt and a baseball cap handed something similar to a flyer to Zhang Yang.

"Wang Sicong invited you here?" The handsome guy was unable to get to Zhang Yang, and his flyer was taken away by the assistant.

But Zhang Yang was curious about him.

The handsome guy looked at Zhang Yang's posture, listened to his tone, looked at Zhang Yang carefully, and said hesitantly, "Director Zhang?"

He couldn't believe that Zhang Yang was a fan of League of Legends.

Zhang Yang nodded: "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Why do we need the principal to invite us? We all came here on our own initiative. This year is a big day for our LPL..." The handsome guy blabbered excitedly and said a lot of things.

"Principal? Wang Sicong is also a principal? I hope the title of principal will not be ruined in the future!"

Nowadays, a series of words such as "Miss" and "Teacher" are no longer allowed to be heard in China.

"Director Zhang, let's take a photo together." The handsome guy didn't take Zhang Yang's words to heart and expressed his own expectations.

"Okay." It was fate that this handsome guy recognized him.

After the two took the photo, the Riot staff contacted by the assistant also walked over to them.

Zhang Yang followed the staff into the stadium and went backstage, where they went directly to the IG team.

I saw a group of people chatting and laughing, as if they didn't care at all about the final that was about to begin.

They were pretending to be relaxed, trying to relieve their tension by talking. Zhang Yang could see it at a glance.

The IG players were a little surprised to see the outsiders coming in, but they were brought in by the staff, so they just looked on curiously.

As soon as Zhang Yang took off his sunglasses, several people recognized him immediately.

"Director Zhang."
A group of people greeted Zhang Yang in inconsistent voices, especially the two Korean players, who spoke extremely strange Chinese.

"Perform well. Wang Sicong asked me to watch the game. I just want to relax."

After listening to Zhang Yang's words, they nodded seriously, not knowing whether the pressure would increase.

"Director Zhang, do you also play League of Legends?" A Shui was curious about this. He is currently the strongest ADC in the country besides UZI.

"I don't play, I play Honor of Kings." Zhang Yang shook his head.

A group of players secretly looked down on Zhang Yang, just like in the film and television industry, people who make movies look down on those who make TV series, and those who make TV series look down on those who play variety shows. In the e-sports industry, people who play PC games look down on those who play mobile games, thinking that mobile games are not even worthy of being on the stage.

But will Zhang Yang care about this? League of Legends will also have a mobile game in the future, but it still can’t beat Honor of Kings.

"Where is Wang Sicong?" Zhang Yang waited for a long time, but when he didn't see Wang Sicong, he asked the people around him.

As soon as he finished asking, Wang Sicong walked in with a handsome guy.

"Director Zhang, I'm Luo Yunxi." The handsome guy introduced himself to Zhang Yang.

He is also a person who has become popular recently because of "Ashes of Love". Apart from the male and female protagonists, he is the most popular person in this drama.

Luo Yunxi felt that he was really lucky. He came to be the leader of a celebrity support group and actually met Zhang Yang. This was an opportunity.
It's a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to show his talent and could only show his face, but it was also a pleasant surprise.

After Zhang Yang exchanged a few pleasantries with them, Wang Sicong encouraged his teammates. Well, in Zhang Yang's opinion, his bowl of chicken soup was not up to standard.

After Wang Sicong finished speaking, he made an invitation gesture to Zhang: "Let's go out, the opening ceremony is about to begin."

The opening ceremony of the finals is at 16:.

"You guys go ahead, I'll just watch from the backstage." Zhang Yang waved his hand. He didn't want to go there because it was too noisy and cold.

Bodyguard Xiao Zhao was relieved to see that Zhang Yang was not going to the scene, and his pressure was greatly relieved.

Soon the group of people dispersed, and Zhang Yang followed the staff to a viewing room backstage.

He was accompanied by his assistants, bodyguards and staff to watch the opening ceremony. Damn, they were all men!
If League of Legends is held in South Korea, what will be the opening program of its finals?
Need I ask? Of course it was a girl group singing and dancing. The opening performance this time was "POP/STARS" by K/DA girl group.

A group of young ladies with bare thighs sang and danced, attracting constant cheers from the audience.

Of course Zhang Yang wouldn't pay attention to these things. As a professional, he focuses on the on-site special effects.

“Is this AR enhancement?”

"Yes."

"Why not use holographic projection?" Holographic projection technology has become more and more mature in the past two years, and it is better to use it to display League of Legends characters.

The staff member did not respond, "Boss, I'm helping you save money. Do you know how expensive holographic projection is?"
The performance ended and the finals officially started. Zhang Yang listened to the commentary. This was the first time that LPL had returned to the finals stage after 1476 days.

No wonder the country is so eager for the League of Legends World Championship. Those who can’t get it are always in turmoil.

It’s nothing like Honor of Kings, which has no worthy rivals internationally. China is the strongest, so strong that it has no friends.

In the next few hours, Zhang Yang saw that IG played three games smoothly.

IG almost got a pentakill in the first game. Getting a pentakill in the world finals? It's a bit magical.

The second game was even more magical, IG's top laner rushed to the opponent's crystal and fought one against five. It was a complete blast. Although he died, it boosted morale.

At least the audience at the finals were excited.

By the third game, FNC collectively shut themselves off, and the two sides fought a huge melee in the final game of the World Finals.

In this way, IG won the championship with two 3:0 in the semi-finals and finals, which was really magical.

20 minutes into the third game, IG had already won. Wang Sicong came into the room, looking excited: "Coach Zhang, did you see that? My team is going to win the championship. It's China's first world championship."

Zhang Yang nodded. To be honest, the early development of e-sports in China was thanks to this group of rich second-generations who were doing it for love.

Unfortunately, after formalization, most of them were kicked out.

Wang Sicong had just come in for a few minutes when IG won the third game and won the world championship.

"I'll go to the stage quickly." Wang Sicong said as he ran to the stage. He wanted to celebrate with his teammates.

Zhang Yang laughed twice and walked out of the room slowly.

As soon as they left the room, they heard deafening shouts, all of which were "IG".

When he reached the stage entrance, he was so amused by the scene on the stage that he almost died of laughter.

No one paid any attention to Wang Sicong. The team members were hugging each other and expressing their excitement.

When the team members held the trophy, Zhang Yang crossed his arms and said, "I feel that their current state is similar to some people winning awards at a film festival."

"You are different from the boss. You are always calm when receiving any award." The assistant complimented sincerely.

"Well, let's go." Zhang Yang said and quietly left the stadium.

He set off for home the next morning. After returning, he could not rest for a few days because he had to go to Taiwan to participate in film selection.

Not long after the plane took off, the assistant came to Zhang Yang with a tablet and said, "Boss, the box office of Oppenheimer has increased significantly in China and South Korea today."

"Because it's Sunday, or League of Legends?"

"League of Legends, the handsome guy who took the photo yesterday posted the photo on Weibo and Twitter, and it became a trending search on both platforms."

Zhang Yang smiled helplessly: "I just wanted to relax, but I didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise."

More than two hours later, around eleven o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yang returned to the courtyard.

He just arrived in the hall and found all three members of the family were there.

“Was the League of Legends finals interesting?”

"I don't play League of Legends, I just went to watch it to relax. When I got there, not only did they win the championship, but they won 3:0." Facing Liu Yifei's teasing, Zhang Yang boasted without blushing or breathing hard.

He said as he pulled his suitcase towards the bedroom.

Seeing this, Liu Yifei wanted to stand up and help.

"Please sit down. I have to go to Wanwan again tomorrow afternoon, so you don't need to pack your suitcase."

Zhang Hongyi was originally listening to his parents chatting quietly, but when he heard that his father was going on a business trip again tomorrow, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and he almost laughed out loud.

The big devil is going on a business trip again, that’s great.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei were in the amusement park, watching the children and chatting.

As they chatted, they talked about Mr. Jin, who passed away on the day Zhang Yang went to Korea.

"The mainland's memory of Hong Kong is slowly fading away."
