Chapter 8: A Salary of 10,000 Yuan Offer
Not long after,
Zhang Yelei accepted his WeChat friend request.
They sent me the meeting time and company location.
"See you tomorrow!"
"receive!"
A few minutes later, Gu Yi revised the lyrics based on his memory, using Zhang Yelei's original lyrics, and saved them.
"What other songs are there?"
He immediately started browsing the trending songs chart on QQ Music.
"I've got it! We can cook this fish two ways!"
Before long, a hit song from the future popped into his head, and he started frantically typing on the keyboard.
I'm planning to find a recording studio the day after tomorrow to get the song done.
Time ticked by, the sounds of cars outside the window gradually faded, and only the crisp sound of keyboard typing remained in the apartment.
One o'clock in the morning,
The two versions of the lyrics have finally been typed out.
Gu Yi rubbed his dry eyes, turned on the phone's recording function, cleared his throat, and began to sing softly.
After singing both versions, he listened to them repeatedly, adjusted a few pronunciation details, and finally saved the recording to his satisfaction.
The first version was depressing.
The second version is redemption!
The two styles are completely different.
I checked the time.
It was already 2 a.m.
Gu Yi turned off the computer, got up, and went to the bathroom.
He quickly washed up, dried his hair, and fell asleep within seconds of collapsing onto the bed.
-----------------
The next morning,
Gu Yi had just finished breakfast when a WeChat friend request popped up. The friend's name was Li, an official designer at Riot Games.
After he clicked "agree",
A WeChat voice message came through immediately.
"Hello, Gu Yi!"
"You weren't feeling well the day you won the S8 championship, how are you now?"
"I'm fine now!"
Gu Yi got up and left the dining table.
"That's good. We didn't have time to communicate at the time. Now, please confirm which hero you want for the championship skin."
"Norse."
Gu Yi leaned back on the sofa and made up his mind without even thinking.
"Received. I will send the hero selection confirmation form to your email in a bit. It will be effective after electronic signature."
"Thanks!"
"This year's championship skins will all feature traditional Chinese ink painting and landscape backgrounds. Do you have any other design ideas?"
"Teacher Li, I have no objection to the style of the champion skin, but I would like to add a few special interactive designs."
Gu Yi suddenly sat up straight.
"you say!"
Teacher Li frowned.
Don't be afraid of these contestants' wildly imaginative ideas.
I'm afraid that once it's done, there will be a lot of feedback and I'll have to keep making changes.
I need the first version!
"I want to come up with a few slogans."
Gu Yi cleared his throat.
"For example, after killing someone, press the recall button to trigger a taunting dance move, and shout 'I didn't mean to!' The move should be a bit cool, like a bear spreading its hands."
Designer Li laughed on the other end of the phone.
"Haha, are you serious?"
"Aren't you afraid of being criticized by State Grid fans?"
"I mean, for example, you could try an arrogant gait and a head-shaking motion."
He thought of the action scenes from the movie "The Madman," which were considered very distinctive by the audience at the time and even sparked a wave of imitations across the internet.
Unfortunately, Gao Qisheng, as a public figure, urinated and defecated indiscriminately, which led to his downfall.
"No problem, players will definitely love it."
"Is there anything else?"
"For example, when you're being chased while trying to steal a buff or dragon, you can press a specific button to shout, 'I did it on purpose! Come and catch me!'"
"The movements, combined with running, jumping, and turning around, have a playful feel, creating a contrast with the mockery. I think it'll be a huge hit!"
Gu Yi added.
"But he has to be handsome!"
After all, whether it's strong or not,
Try it and you'll see.
But whether you're handsome or not is a lifelong matter.
"Hahaha!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Li, the designer, laughed on the other end of the phone.
"Your idea isn't complicated, and it makes the skin more memorable. It's good that esports has some fun. I've got it!"
After he finished speaking, he added.
"The initial draft model and skill effects plan will be completed in December. I'll ask you to sign off on them then. No problems? I'm hanging up now!"
"Okay! Thank you for your help."
After hanging up the call, Gu Yi leaned back in his chair and muttered to himself.
"The most important thing is that it has a selling point!"
A short while later, Gu Yi received a WeChat message, opened his email, and quickly completed the electronic signature for hero confirmation.
"It's signed!"
"OK!"
Just finished skin confirmation
Gu Yi noticed a barrage of messages popping up in the IG WeChat group.
Rookie: "What championship skins did you guys choose?"
Treasure Basket: "Grand entrance, Luo! Reporting for duty!"
Desha: "Peerless Sword Formation, Sword Maiden!"
King Lemon: "Final ultimatum, Camille!"
Chicken: "Shadow Stalker, Enchantress!"
"I chose Kai'Sa, she's cool, that's all that matters."
Q-Spicy Dance deliberately disrupted the formation.
The King of Lemons suddenly appeared and asked a question.
"Gu Yi, what did you choose?"
"Darius!"
Gu Yi replied simply.
Q Spicy Dance is still puzzled.
"I thought you would choose Jayce."
Why?
"You used to say you wanted to be a 'womanizer'!"
Q's teasing made everyone in the group laugh.
King Lemon: "That's not even as good as the great inventor, who makes a large quantity and keeps you full!"
Gu Yi typed out a word.
"roll!"
The broiler chickens came out and stopped them.
"Alright, alright, we're off to do the interview."
"Take good care of yourself, we'll talk later."
Gu Yi replied "OK!" with a slight smile on his lips.
As soon as I left the teammates' group chat, WeChat messages started popping up one after another, all with the same contact name: coaches from various teams.
RNG's coach was the first to send a message.
"Gu Yi, congratulations on winning the championship! I heard you're planning to terminate your contract! Are you interested in joining RNG? We can discuss the terms, we really need a player like you who can handle pressure."
Gu Yi glanced at the message and rejected it from the bottom of his heart.
All RNG wants is the title of "World Championship hero" and to act as a mascot to attract attention.
When they actually take the field,
The tactic is always 4 protect 1.
Why would he need to lift a finger?!
The most important thing is that he doesn't have the money to pay compensation.
Few who go to RNG can retire successfully.
"Thank you for your kind offer, but I have no plans to switch teams for the time being!"
Next came the news about EDG's coach.
"Gu Yi, have you considered joining EDG?"
"Our boss thinks highly of you. The salary and benefits will be top-notch. You won't need to train; your main responsibilities will be event promotion and youth training guidance."
WE's coach also sent an invitation.
"How about coming to WE? Although our salary isn't high, the team atmosphere is relaxed, and you don't have to work as hard as you did at IG."
The invitations from the three major clubs were all identical, all aimed at his championship title and popularity, openly treating him as a mascot.
Gu Yi didn't think much of it and gave a uniform reply.
"Thank you for your consideration, but we will not consider it at the moment."
To his surprise,
People from Weibo also came looking for us.
"Hello Gu Yi, Weibo plans to form a new LOL team next year and sincerely invites you to join us with an annual salary of 1000 million."
We'll handle the prize money and brand endorsement opportunities; all you need to do is be listed as a key player.
News about the Suning team followed closely behind.
"Gu Yi, Suning sincerely invites you to join the new team. The annual salary is negotiable, and you can even participate in team management and youth training selection. We don't lack funds, we just need talent like you."
