Chapter 52

Jay Chou instantly changed into a very sincere expression and smiled, “Xiao Ran, sell your copyright for《In the Name of Father》and 《Nocturne》to me . How about it?”

Xiao Ran knew nothing about such things and asked, “Does it mean that I cannot sing them once I sell them to you?”

“You still can sing them . We will sign a collaboration agreement . I will give you $500,000 for each song but it isn’t a buyout, there are other benefits . When the song is profitable, I will also distribute a certain percentage of the profit to you, but…”

“But what?”

Jay Chou smiled and said, “But if you are to release an alb.u.m in the future, you cannot put these two songs inside the alb.u.m . Instead, if I release an alb.u.m I will definitely put it in my alb.u.m . ”

“I don’t have an opinion on this . But I have a request . ”

Xiao Ran didn’t have much interest to release any alb.u.m .

If Xiao Ran had obtained the ‘All-Star System’ instead, he might have a proper discussion with Jay Chou . But he had the ‘All-Round Olympic Star System’, as such, singing and the miscellaneous things weren’t as important .

Furthermore, so what even if Xiao Ran viewed it with importance?

This ‘All-Round Olympic Star System’ had a mission to complete and if Xiao Ran didn’t complete it, he would be cruelly killed!

It was impossible not to do it!

“Oh? What request do you have? Tell me about it . ” Jay Chou was a little nervous .

He desired these two songs too much .

These two songs deeply attracted him and the songs felt as though they were his creation and was extremely fitting with his music style .

It was just like…

It just was like his own child that already belonged to him .

If Xiao Ran knew Jay Chou had such feelings, Xiao Ran wouldn’t feel weird at all .

Because these two songs were originally Jay Chou’s creation in the original world . It was actually Jay Chou’s songs .

Seeing how nervous Jay Chou was, Xiao Ran didn’t want to put up any suspense and immediately said, “I want to be on the starting roster of J Team . ”

“No problem!” Jay Chou immediately said, “Why don’t I make preparations for you to join the LSPL too? I have already included your name on the list . ”

Oh?

This was outside Xiao Ran’s expectation .

During normal days, Jay Chou would always be playing games and would even drag Xiao Ran, fat chick, and the others to play with him . Xiao Ran didn’t expect Jay Chou to have done some serious work .

Since that was the case, Xiao Ran intended to state more conditions .

“Also, for the members of the J Team, I want the authority to pick the players and decide the starting roster . ”

Jay Chou frowned, “This…”

Xiao Ran saw that Jay Chou was a little unwilling, thus, he quickly added, “The 16 LSPL secondary professional league’s teams use a Bo1 double round-robin format . ”

(TL note: Bo1 is Best of 1)

“The LSPL champion could directly advance to the LPL . The 2nd, 3rd, LPL’s bottom teams will go through the Summer Promotion to secure the other LPL slot . ”

“If I didn’t remember wrongly, J Team has already played 20 matches and the result is now 10 wins and 10 losses, 10th place . Am I right?”

Jay Chou didn’t say anything and took a sip of coffee before nodding to Xiao Ran as a signal for him to continue .

“According to the current result and my understanding of the top few teams, it is impossible for the J Team to obtain the 1st place for the LSPL Spring Season and promote to LPL . ”

“There isn’t a need to think about the 2nd place either . After all, the J Team had already lost too many matches . Right now, it is only possible to strive for 3rd place . ”

Xiao Ran had said a lot at once and felt a little thirsty . He drank some coffee to moisten his throat before he continued, “If we need to rely on the current members and strive for the 3rd place, it is too difficult . Don’t even talk about going against the LPL bottom teams and obtain the other LPL slot during the Summer Promotion . ”

After talking, Xiao Ran looked at Jay Chou with stern eyes before saying, “If you hand me the authority to manage J Team, I guarantee that I will lead the J Team to the 3rd place of LSPL before leading the J Team to charge into LPL . ”

Jay Chou looked at the determined Xiao Ran and pondered for a moment before asking, “I am very curious . Why must you play Esports? With your talents in the music aspect, you will surely reach the top of the music industry too . Furthermore, be it the life or prestige, it is several times better than the Esports industry . ”

Xiao Ran was startled for a moment before he spoke with a serious tone, “Director Chou, I would like to ask you, do you understand Esports? Do you know Esports?”

When Jay Chou saw how stern Xiao Ran had suddenly become, he put on a serious look and lowered his head to ponder .

Xiao Ran laughed as though he mocked at himself and continued saying, “I feel that you don’t understand . Esports is the dream of every Esports player . It is more like a kind of conviction . ”

“Director Chou, do you know, every time an Esports tournament ends, there would be disorderly chaos . ”

“Everyone would have their individual viewpoints, talking about the country’s environment, talking about the benefits for the players . There isn’t a right or wrong, but I wish to tell all of you a few stories . ”

“My earliest contact with Esports started from Counter-Strike . I remember during 2002 and 2003, the internet cafes were filled with intense gunfires . All the streets and alleys were filled with youth discussions about Counter-Strike . ”

“At that time, China’s Esports was just setting out . The country had just established Esports as a sporting event and the central television sports channel had also released an Esports segment . ”

“Everyone thought that the Esports industry was welcoming a boom . ”

“It was a pity that the great sceneries didn’t last long . Due to the considerations about the impact on youths, the State of Administration for Media had withdrawn the Esports segment and the eager sponsors had also ceased their support . Everything had returned to the starting point, back to the era when it was only a ‘dream’ . ”

“The first story is related to wNv . ”

“I believe that many of the senior Esport players are familiar with wNv . They are China’s first Counter-Strike world champion team . ”

“In 2005, five of the members represented China and defeated the rival Korean team during the finals at Beijing Workers’ Sports Complex and obtained the WEG World Champion . ”

(TL note: WEG = World Esports Games)

“It is also the same five members who were led by the country’s sports inst.i.tution to France for a compet.i.tion . ”

“When they alighted the plane and entered the hotel, they were filled with excitement . They were surrounded by blonde-haired and blue-eyed foreigners and the foreign country was filled with so much novelty . The hotel was also very well-equipped and was excessively superior to their own dormitories . ”

“After the lodgings were arranged, the sports inst.i.tution’s staff went missing . The members’ initial excitement started to turn silent . Apart from the food they had ate on the plane, they were now famished . ”

“In this unfamiliar country, they didn’t know how to speak English, their guide had gone missing, and they didn’t have a lot of money . It was fortunate that they had brought over a box of instant noodles along with them . ”

“But the boiling water for the instant noodles became a problem . They didn’t know English and they didn’t have any method to converse with others . Finally, they didn’t have a choice but to use the bathroom’s water heater’s water to cook the instant noodles . ”

“During that year, wNv merely made it to top 8 and returned to the country and received a scolding . If it wasn’t because they became the world champions one year later and revealed this information during an interview . Who would have known the amount of suffering and tears the champions went through?”
