Chapter 422: Big Deal
After the symbolic signing.
When he returned to the lounge, Qin Hao slowed down his pace unconsciously and took a deep breath.
He knew.
From today on.
He will no longer lack controversy.
If what surrounded him before was only the disagreements within the lol circle, then with the release of the soft article about e-sports Jordan, he will stand at the forefront of expanding the circle.
While enjoying super-standard treatment, he will also bear the malice around him.
Guo Hao and the boss came at the right time and happened to see this scene. They couldn't help but look at each other. Long before signing, they had analyzed the pros and cons with Qin Hao's agent.
After all.
Topics around the league are mostly concentrated in relatively concentrated circles such as the official team Weibo, super chat, and anti-bar, which can be regarded as a "larger" circle of self-motivation.
But after getting on Nike's car.
They will change from the previous relatively passive way to actively harassing those netizens who don't pay attention to lol and force them to know each other.
"You need to create a team channel as soon as possible."
"Yes." Guo Hao nodded.
"Also, help him relieve stress. Although he is strong, you have to pay attention at all times." The boss looked at Qin Hao who was sitting next to Li Zhengtai.
It is conceivable that when Fujii launched a new round of marketing plans, Qin Hao would definitely be surrounded by all kinds of public opinion.
Of course.
Even if they don't market, there will still be people who don't like him. Qin Hao is not RMB, how can he be recognized by everyone.
"I know, I plan to cooperate with the psychological counseling room in Shanghai and come here once a week."
"Well..."
The boss snorted, thinking about how many fans Top has gained in recent days, and said: "It's a pity that it's not profitable yet, otherwise I can make the decision for you to take over the entire e-sports department."
Guo Hao was a little excited when he heard it.
Think about it. A year ago, he was an ordinary manager of a bottom-ranked team who almost lost his job. As a result, because he won over Qin Hao, he not only received praise from the top many times, but also had the possibility of promotion, salary increase, and marrying a rich and beautiful woman to the peak of his life!
"It's all because of your support that I have achieved these results. Don't worry, boss. Next, I will work hard to promote the work..." Guo Hao quickly expressed his opinion.
The boss smiled faintly and said, "You can find an opportunity to tell Xiaohao that as long as he doesn't leave Top, I will propose to give him shares in the team."
"My. The spring season is halfway through, and we haven't talked about the renewal yet." Guo Hao was sweating a little.
After all, in order to win over the two-time champion, he offered conditions that other clubs dared not offer.
Otherwise, Bai Xing and Aide Zhu would say behind his back that he broke the rules.
Who can get 24 million for eight domestic players, and it's still one year, and there is no business contract. If everyone plays like this, the expenditure will have to be multiplied several times.
"I'm not blaming you for this."
"I just think other clubs can't give us such treatment."
This can be said to be full of domineering.
It made Guo Hao laugh and admire.
"Brother Hao, boss." Qin Hao noticed the situation here and got up and walked over.
"Are you still nervous?" The boss smiled and waved, with a friendly attitude.
"It's OK. I was a little nervous before going on stage." Qin Hao said, "Later I found that it was almost the same as playing in a game."
After chatting for a few words.
Qin Hao looked at the manager Guo Hao: "Can we leave now?"
"You're in such a hurry?" Guo Hao smiled.
"The training room is still more suitable for me." Qin Hao told the truth.
Guo Hao choked for a few seconds and replied, "We'll leave in half an hour."
In fact, the venue has nothing to do with Top.
It's just that Fujii's people are reporting their results and looking forward to the future. What they said was nothing more than the stable and improving operation of the event, expanding the peripheral share of lol around the idea of the game industry chain, and further cultivating audience culture.
Finally.
They also boasted about film and television adaptations and related types of development around the League universe.
Qin Hao returned to his seat.
I found that Li Zhengtai was a little autistic.
"Hey, Brother Li?"
Qin Hao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to ask you what's wrong. Why have you been absent-minded since you came out of the hotel?" Qin Hao was a little surprised. In his impression, Li Zhengtai is a standard elite.
"Maybe it's unrealistic." Sitting on the sofa in the lounge of the venue, Li Zhengtai took out a copy of the contract from his bag and read it again.
Although he has read it many times.
But he just can't get tired of it.
He never dreamed that his client would become the first e-sports player under Nike.
So, he suddenly had some ambitions and felt that he could expand the e-sports business and sign more potential players instead of treating it as a transition.
After all, he was able to become Qin Hao's agent.
First, MaRin and Da Mu were the matchmakers;
Second, because Qin Hao was not the kind of miser and was willing to reach an agreement on the commission, and he was not happy working in the law firm at the time, so he took this job with the idea of slowing down.
Similarly.
Because he had worked in the Korean E-sports Association, he knew that the professional career of e-sports players was generally not long.
At that time, he thought that he should leave in two or three years at most, but he never expected that the brothers introduced by MaRin were so reliable! !
He didn't know whether it was technical or not.
But it was really commercially valuable.
In the past two years, he has earned nearly 3.7 billion won from Qin Hao! It is much more comfortable than being an assistant in a law firm and gaining fame.
"Is there a problem with the contract?" Qin Hao was inexplicably afraid when he saw Brother Li keep turning over the pages.
"No, no problem."
Li Zhengtai shook his head fiercely: "This is not the first time that Nike has signed a Chinese athlete."
Li Zhengtai briefly summarized: "It will cost 9.6 million yuan for four years, cooperate with publicity during the contract period, and only wear Nike shoes in public...other than that, there is nothing too excessive.
After all, they have a very strict internal hierarchy for such cooperation. You are only B-level at best, probably with..."
Li Zhengtai recalled the recent news and said: "It's similar to CBA's Ding Yanyuhang - the LPL industry is too small.
Even if you are the most famous, in the eyes of Nike, you are no more than a potential rookie (in basketball). It's the kind that deserves support but won't be heavily promoted. "
Talking about contracts.
Li Zhengtai regained his composure.
But no matter how objective he is, Li Zhengtai is still a little incredible.
Because e-sports has developed so far, Nike has never signed anyone.
Whether it is Sky, who is recognized as the number one e-sports player in China by CCTV, Daigo Umehara in the Street Fighter world, or a domestic e-sports star in the United States, Nike does not like them.
They only cooperate with tournament parties, not professional players.
"Oh, I heard from the boss that this was Fujii's help. He gave me a contract." This is how Qin Hao feels.
Except for some words of praise for his youth and potential, basically no one cares about the contract amount. Including the president of Nike China who shook hands with him today.
In the eyes of these big shots, this little money is not as important as the subsequent publicity resources.
Just when Qin Hao was bored and waiting to go back to the club.
outside world.
First, the media that has good relations with Fujii and Nike issued corresponding press releases, describing the significance of this signing, and then the hot search terms appeared on Weibo——
#Nike signs e-sports player for the first time# (explosion)
#电竞jordanPenicillin# (hot)
#lol丁流# (hot)
Um.
At the time of Bird's Nest Night, only two entries entered the top ten hot searches.
It can only be said that Nike, Fujii and Tobo Sports have surpassed the height of discussion that LPL can reach with a little action.
For a while.
Soft articles and announcements are everywhere.
Even ESPN helped retweet it, spreading the news of Nike's signing of Penicillin to the world. Coupled with the so-called e-sports Jordan name, before the fans could react, the comment area was full of fun and ridicule.
"Why, Jordan's successor is no longer in the NBA, but is playing keyboards?"
"I can hit ten of these short cucumbers."
"Bump? Lie on the floor and hit the porcelain!"
"Any monster can touch Jordan. He is the god of basketball. Go find a locksmith to see how many you have."
“Spending money on trending searches again.”
"Mr. Jia can make any money."
"Don't dare to criticize, Qing Xiaozi will be here later."
"I go to Weibo to follow celebrities. What does it mean when he hooks up and swipes the screen every day?"
"Can you please go back to your own small circle if you are a dog lover? Don't come to Weibo to disgust other people."
Of course this kind of gesture would cause outrage.
After all, there are many people who hate the culture of the gaming community.
Of course, there are also comments such as "Holy shit" and "My Qingbao is going to be successful", but compared with the public, Qin Hao's few fans are not enough.
On the way out from the airport.
Seeing Qin Hao being scolded, Guo Hao also used Mark Bauerlein's words as an example: "...One of the signs of a person's maturity is to understand that 99% of what happens to him is meaningless to others. "
Qin Hao actually didn't feel uncomfortable.
Even when he won the championship at home, he was scolded in private messages.
Seeing Qin Hao so calm, Guo Hao was a little uneasy: "These days, who hasn't been scolded online? No one has the patience to understand you through the screen. You can't prove it, right?"
Qin Hao nodded, understanding: "It's okay. If I browse Weibo and encounter an artist I'm not familiar with and don't follow who comes out and says I'm too NB, I might feel uncomfortable and want to say NB. "
"That's the truth."
Guo Hao calmed down and said, "These entries have been arranged by Fujii and are waiting for you to sign before airborne."
"So, just let them scold you. After a while, when Nike shoots the promotional video...it should be better by then."
Um.
The goal this time is to establish an ID through bumping the porcelain, and then use other methods to change the image.
Just like those traffic niche students, they are recognized by the public when they are black.
What's more.
Being hacked or bullied on the Internet can even more effectively solidify fans.
After all, Qingfan has become the group that should not be messed with in the LPL because it relies on violence against others.
From Xiaohu to Faker, from Zhuza to Huangza, groups with relatively capable combat capabilities in the circle have all been educated by mold.
This is all prestige achieved.
so.
Seeing that Penicillin was inexplicably set on fire, many bastards and royal bastards were amused. Just like that, you can have the fun you have today.
Don't you like to say "people become better than others, and the living become dead"?
Don't you like to scold Xiaohu for losing one mid laner and calling the country a disgrace?
Ha ha.
Hot search bottom.
The green fans hugged each other again, but they still felt uncomfortable being laughed at.
No matter how you explain it, outsiders feel that it is wrong to touch Jordan.
The scolding got louder, and an online user named "Don't Want to Talk Nonsense" exploded -
"I think you are right. The title of e-sports Jordan is very stupid and clown, but the clown is not Penicillin, but this title.
After all, our basketball god went to swing a baseball after winning three consecutive championships. In the past two years that I have been following him, Qingshen seems to have stayed in the base all his life, doing only one thing all his life, and living a life like a practitioner.
So.
What is passion?
What is professional attitude?
Who respects the court more?
Also, I prefer the title of Qingshen to e-sports Jordan."
Feeling the emotions and disdain in the text.
Seeing the target of attack dare to resist.
The onlookers were immediately angry.
"Dian, this is not a fake, this is a direct surpass."
"Jordan has inspired so many people. Penicillin? I haven't heard of him before today."
"Gouba is really good at talking, only talking about leaving the court, not talking about the honors Jordan has won, right?"
"People who like to play games are like this, they only live in their own world."
"I flipped through the homepage, and this bastard also said that King James will be greater than Jordan in the future."
"So he is a fan of James, no wonder he is so crazy."
"..."
Similar explosive Dian.
It aroused the desire of the onlookers to output.
When some Qing fans were shocked that Penicillin became a signed player under Nike, a substantial top player in the circle, Faker fans were numb.
Some time ago.
They also argued with the mold about the ability to lead the team, but Penicillin got better in the blink of an eye.
Faced with such face-to-face ridicule, they could only say sourly: "LPL is a commercial league." Then they turned around and besieged the e-sports association, asking them to promote the seat system.
In the words of fans: Only when players get high salaries will they show a more positive side and retain talents.
In short.
Qin Hao suddenly became the target of public criticism.
Even C Bo read the soft article published by Hedgehog Club and found that the editor listed Penicillin's honors with a sentence "just like Jordan's domination of the basketball court", which would be strange.
In the hearts of young people of their generation.
Jordan is too far away.
Besides, as a former roommate, C Bo doesn't have so many filters. He just thinks Qin Hao has a good personality and can play together. Secondly, he has great strength. He doesn't worry about not playing well in the middle lane or not having output in team battles.
He has felt the most real Qin Hao.
Just like after the Eagle County incident, some NAB celebrities began to be weird.
As players, they know the players' private appearance too well and have no feelings for the content of the media.
What Los Angeles at four o'clock.
What fighting spirit.
What hard work.
Then what?
So you see the overwhelming soft articles.
In addition to thinking that Top was generous, C Bo felt that the online insults were too dirty and the ridicule was too much. Qin Hao should not be blackened like this.
"Are you back to the base?" C Bo was a little anxious.
"Well, what's wrong."
"Didn't you read Weibo?"
"I did."
C Bo really couldn't help: "What's going on? I see that your super topic has collapsed, and everyone is scolding you."
"Maybe this is the price of airdropping?"
Qin Hao thanked: "I'm actually fine."
"You just need to hold on." C Bo said in a long-winded way: "I just opened a small account to help you line up, but there were too many people."
"Haha. Thank you, Master Dog."
"Thank you for nothing, you are my roommate."
"I understand. Next time you come to Shanghai to compete, don't stay in a hotel, come directly to Top's base. My bed is big enough to accommodate 2 people. If it doesn't work, you can sleep on the balcony."
Seeing that Qin Hao was still in the mood to tease him, C Bo finally felt relieved.
"That's it, I'm hanging up."
"Okay."
After the call ended, Qin Hao received calls from Dalang, Xiaohu and others one after another. After all, compared with the online violence he suffered when he just started playing professionally, the momentum this time is much greater.
But no matter what.
Qin Hao will still stand on the stage and face the opponents in the West. Looking at the schedule, the first team they will encounter is Lao Zei's former club: OMG...
