Chapter 953 Training and Preparation

"Are you serious?" Zou Tianyu saw Xiao Yao even took out his mobile phone, and thought for a while, "Let’s talk to YoYo first! She is the team leader and she is responsible for these things. By the way, ask her and the host How is the communication situation between the two parties. If there is really no way to solve it for us, let's just find a place to train ourselves as you said."

  "I'll call her!" Zou Tianyu took out his cell phone and dialed YoYo's number.

   Xiao Yao saw that they wanted to respect the team leader, but did not object, waiting for them to call the team leader YoYo.

  Zou Tianyu talked to the team leader YoYo all the things that Xiao Yao had discussed after he arrived on the phone. The results of YoYo’s negotiations with the organizers did not seem to be very satisfactory. Whether it was to ask Xiao Yao to join the team as a team member to play together, or to ask Xiao Yao to come forward and find another place to train, she did not object, and agreed on the phone. , And also said that it will return immediately.

  Zou Tianyu hung up the phone and told Xiao Yao the result of the communication with the team leader YoYo. Xiao Yao immediately called Liu Youyuan. These days, I have been with Liu Youyuan at YPL company. It was not long after Xiao Yao and Liu Youyuan separated. Before he came, Liu Youyuan said that he was free for these two days and that he could find him if he needed help. Therefore, Xiao Yao did not find Hong Xiuyan, but I found Liu Youyuan.

   Xiao Yao told Liu Youyuan all the situations he would encounter on the phone. Liu Youyuan not only agreed to help Xiao Yao find a place, but also said that he has a friend who is very proficient in computer hardware and can even help them with the matter of buying a new computer.

Xiao Yao understands Korean. He and several professional players are not innocents in computer hardware. It is not impossible to go to places such as Computer City to purchase by himself, but in comparison, he is definitely not as good as a local who is proficient in hardware. It is convenient to do this. Anyway, I have asked Liu Youyuan for help. After asking for the consent of the three of Zou Tianyu, Xiao Yao entrusted him with the purchase of computers.

  After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yao asked the three people about the machine configuration requirements, compiled a message and sent it to Liu Youyuan. It didn't take long for Xiao Yao to receive a reply from Liu Youyuan, saying that it could be done in the afternoon.

   Xiao Yao received Liu Youyuan's quasi-credit, and he waited for the team leader YoYo to return in Zou Tianyu’s hotel room.

  About half an hour later, the team leader YoYo came back.

  YoYo's real name is Tang You, in her twenties, she is a pretty girl who looks a little cute, but is actually more careful and capable. Although she is in a mixed e-sports circle, when she saw Xiao Yao, she also showed a state of fans when they saw the star, and excitedly pulled Xiao Yao to sign and take a group photo. This kind of performance was also laughed and teased by three boys including Zou Tianyu.

  Meeting with Tang You, after meeting Tang You's request for autographing and taking a photo, it was not too early, so Xiao Yao once again asked the four of them to go out for dinner. In terms of income, Xiao Yao is also much higher than the four in terms of his familiarity with the city of Seoul, so the four are not polite with Xiao Yao.

  On the way out to eat, Tang You called to contact the management of the domestic club to explain the situation here. Regarding the team’s problems here, the club’s management had already learned about it yesterday, so Tang You focused on the situation where the three of Zou Tianyu met Xiao Yao and planned to temporarily invite Xiao Yao to join the team and team up with them. .

At present, there are many celebrities in China who openly like to play games. There are even some acting celebrities who have invested in forming their own game teams. I have also teamed up with professional players to play some games, but when it comes to really teaming up with professional players to participate in this This kind of international official competition, there is still no one.

  Xiao Yao’s current domestic popularity and influence in China is definitely a leader among young stars in the show business circle. Regardless of his game prowess, and no matter what results he can achieve in this competition, if he dares to form a team with Zou Tianyu and others, it will play a huge role in improving the popularity and influence of their team. The club's management agreed to their request without hesitation, and immediately set about preparing for Xiao Yao's contract.

Because the visas of the two main players were rejected, the club reluctantly agreed yesterday that Zou Tianyu and others planned to let Tang You be the top team member to play the game. They did not have much hope for the results of this game. There is no requirement for Zou Tianyu and others.

Although Tang You said on the phone that Zou Tianyu and others had played games with Xiao Yao and felt that Xiao Yao’s strength was stronger than Tang You, the club’s management did not think that Xiao Yao could achieve much better results by changing Tang You. On the phone they also asked them to relax their minds and perform normally, and there is also no requirement for their performance in this competition.

  However, the club has no requirements on the results, but Xiao Yao does not have any requirements on the results, just to show his face, just go to the game to play. While eating lunch, Xiao Yao had already asked Zou Tianyu and the others about some issues that should be paid attention to when participating in the competition.

  After lunch, there was no news from Liu Youyuan, so Xiao Yao followed Zou Tianyu and others back to the hotel where they were staying. After returning to the hotel, Xiao Yao still didn't let the three of them go, and still led them to chat about the game and the game "Survivor".

It is already Wednesday afternoon, and the competition starts on Saturday. Xiao Yao will go to the closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the film festival on Friday. It will take at least half a day, so Xiao Yao can be with Zou Tianyu and others. The training time is not a lot.

  This game Xiao Yao used to play during the live broadcast. It can not be said that he can't play or doesn't know enough about this game, but at that time it was purely for fun. Compared with professional players, Xiao Yao felt that he didn't understand a lot when it came to the official competition. Now that there is no machine for practical training, Xiao Yao tries his best to seize the time to make some theoretical preparations.

  Although the club has no hard requirements for performance this time, Zou Tianyu and others who were targeted by the organizer are holding fire in their hearts. They also hope that this competition can get a good result in the face of the opponent under the adverse conditions targeted by the organizers. Xiao Yao is an acting star, it is impossible to really switch to become a professional e-sports player. This time it is a temporary rescue field for Zhang Yi, so Zou Tianyu and others not only know everything about Xiao Yao’s problems, but even take the initiative. He told Xiao Yao about some of the little-known tricks and show operations in the game, and tried his best to help Xiao Yao improve his understanding of the game and the level of operation skills in the short term.

  About three in the afternoon, Xiao Yao received a call from Liu Youyuan. Liu Youyuan said on the phone that the training location has been found for them. The four machines have been bought and assembled, and the operating system, games and software they need are installed. It can be said that all the preparations have been done. Ask Xiao Yao Where, do you need him to come and pick them up?

  Xiao Yao prefers large cars such as SUVs. After coming to South Korea, the car he rented was also an SUV, which was large enough to accommodate the five of them. So he declined Liu Youyuan’s kindness, but asked Liu Youyuan to say the address and prepare to drive people there by himself. Liu Youyuan knew that Xiao Yao's personality was very independent and did not insist, so he reported the address happily.

   hung up the phone, Xiao Yao and others immediately packed up their things and sent them out. The address Liu Youyuan gave was very detailed. With the help of car navigation, Xiao Yao quickly approached the destination.

"This is the villa area? Did your friend get us a villa for training? Great!" When Xiao Yao drove the car into a villa area and slowed down, Zou Tianyu turned to look outside the car Building road.

  "Maybe so!" Xiao Yao only knew the address, but didn't know in advance that the address was located in a villa area. But even if it was really a villa, Xiao Yao didn't feel so surprised. Instead, he turned his head and asked Zou Tianyu with a smile, "I said you are the one who won the world championship anyway, you haven't even lived in the villa, right?"

"I lived, but I have never had the luxury of using a villa as a training place!" Zou Tianyu said, "Your friend will take his home out for us as a training place, right? We are all night owls. Will this affect his daily life?"

   "I don't know, he didn't say, please ask later!" Xiao Yao shook his head.

"If he really vacates his house for us to train, it is indeed inappropriate, but the villa has a large space, and it is a very good choice to be used as a training ground." Xiao Yao continued, "I think this villa area should There are vacant villas that can be rented out. If he really vacates his home for us, then we won’t be training there. Let him introduce the property here to us. Let’s rent a villa here as a training ground. It just so happens that the hotel you are staying in now is not so good. Let's get a villa, and we can both train and live in these days."

   "Good idea!" Zou Tianyu and others nodded in agreement.

   When Xiao Yao drove to the address and house number given by Liu Youyuan, he found that the villa in front of him was indeed a villa. Xiao Yao and others got out of the car and rang the doorbell, and Liu Youyuan soon came out to open the door.

  This villa has a garage. After Xiao Yao introduced several members of the team to Liu Youyuan, Liu Youyuan asked Xiao Yao to park the car in the garage before taking a few people into the villa.

  This is a two-story villa. The entrance is a large living room with floor-to-ceiling windows with a whole wall. Liu Youyuan also temporarily arranged the training place in this large living room. Four computers and supporting tables and chairs are lined up in the large living room, and all network devices are connected.

  The most concerned about Xiao Yao and others is the training equipment. When they saw the situation, it was too late to visit the villa. First, they turned on the computer to check the configuration and network status inside.

  Liu Youyuan dared to take the initiative to take the equipment purchase, and he was naturally very confident in his friend. After checking the computer, several people all expressed their satisfaction. Even if the place here is not suitable, at least these computers are very suitable for their training. At most, they will be moved there. There is no need to buy or replace the accessories inside.

  After reading the computer, Liu Youyuan took a few people to take a brief tour of the entire villa. This villa has a lot of space and a lot of rooms. In addition to a large living room on the first floor, there is also a dining room, a kitchen, a storage room and two bedrooms. The space on the second floor is slightly smaller, and there is also a small living room and three bedrooms.

  For such an environment and arrangement, Xiao Yao and the four members of the team are very satisfied.

  After looking around in the villa, Xiao Yao asked Liu Youyuan the question they were most concerned about before. When Liu Youyuan took him to visit the villa, Xiao Yao felt that this place did not look like Liu Youyuan’s own home. Liu Youyuan also answered no. He actually helped Xiao Yao and the others rent this place. It is not a problem to want to live here.

  Since it is not Liu Youyuan’s own home, this also helps Xiao Yao and others save the trouble of renting a villa and moving computers and other equipment.

  Received the key from Liu Youyuan, thanked Liu Youyuan again and again, and after sending Liu Youyuan away, several people walked around in the villa again, and each chose a room to live in. Xiao Yao is now living in the hotel with Ye Jiaying and other film crews who came to participate in the film festival. The conditions of the hotel are very good. However, since it is to intensive training, Xiao Yao decided to move out of the hotel and live with them. There are five bedrooms, one for each person.

  After choosing a room, Xiao Yao drove a few people back to the hotel to pack their luggage, then went back to his hotel to pack some changes of laundry, and moved to the villa with everyone.

   Xiao Yao wants to leave the hotel where he used to live with the crew and move to the villa. Naturally, he has to explain to Ye Jiaying and his assistant Pei Minyi.

Ye Jiaying was of course very surprised that Xiao Yao was going to train and compete with a domestic e-sports team, but after Xiao Yao guaranteed that he would not miss the closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the film festival on Friday, Ye Jiaying could only He had no choice but to go. After listening to Xiao Yao's words to conduct a closed training camp, Pei Minyi remembered his assistant's duties and immediately asked to come with Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao thought that Tang You would have to communicate with the organizer of the competition, and take care of the four older boys’ daily life in a place where they were not familiar with their lives. It’s also very hard. Someone should help her share some of it. So he brought Pei Minyi over.

  Of course, Pei Minyi doesn't need to live in a villa like five people. Xiao Yao brings Pei Minyi over to recognize the door. In the past two days, at least four boys were not going to go out unless there were special things, so Xiao Yao handed over the three meals a day to Pei Minyi.

  After all the things were arranged, Xiao Yao, Zou Tianyu and the other three were engaged in intense training and preparation. The four computers are turned on almost 24 hours a day. When the four people have energy, they will actually train the operating skills and strengthen the tacit understanding of the cooperation during the game. They are tired, and when they relax their eyes and wrists, their brains are not idle. They are still designing and discussing each other when they are lying on the sofa. Kind of tactics that may be used in the game.

  Although it was only more than two days and less than three full days, the training effect of this training camp is still very obvious. Not only Xiao Yao's personal game operation level has improved a lot, the tacit understanding between the four people has been greatly improved, but also several sets of feasible tactics have been designed and perfected for this game.

  Friday afternoon is the closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the Seoul International Film Festival. Xiao Yao suspended training this afternoon and attended in full costume. Although Xiao Yao was in the limelight during this time, this closing ceremony and awards ceremony were not Xiao Yao's moment, but Ye Jiaying's.

  At this film festival, Ye Jiaying won the award for best new director with the film "127 Hours". In addition, this film also won the audience's favorite movie. Film awards are awarded to the director of the film. In fact, the award is for the director.

Although some media commented afterwards that the reason why the movie got the audience’s favorite movie was not because of Ye Jiaying, but because of Xiao Yao, who made a lot of noise in South Korea. Many audiences went to the film festival to watch that movie and give it to this movie. Movie votes are all because of the movie’s starring Xiao Yao. But it was Ye Jiaying who came to the stage to receive the award. This is an indisputable fact.

It was the first time to participate in the Seoul International Film Festival as a director. Ye Jiaying took the stage twice to receive awards. Both the professional awards given by the expert judges and the popularity awards voted by the audience, can be said to be the biggest winner of this film festival. It is considered to be a big show at this film festival.

  Because of these two awards, several well-known and powerful film distributors in South Korea contacted Ye Jiaying and the producer after the closing ceremony, and took the initiative to contact and inquire about the cooperation of the film's release in South Korea.

  The film festival is over, Xiao Yao’s set tasks for coming to Korea this time are all completed. The subsequent film overseas release does not require Xiao Yao’s care and participation. Xiao Yao’s only concern is the weekend competition. Although it was night before the closing ceremony and award ceremony, Xiao Yao hurried back to the villa and practiced with Zou Tianyu and others for several hours.
