Chapter 290 SA Game Empire: The Coming of the E-Sports Era

Unlike other movies, Song Yi personally served as the producer of the movie "The Defender" and also participated in the writing of the movie script.

The original film starred Sons of Empire member Im Si-wan as the son of a hotel aunt. Now that Im Siwan has not made his debut, it is impossible for Song Yi to use his own company's movies to promote artists from other companies. Naturally, he will use Lee Junki, a male artist from SA agency.

Different from the original movie, Song Yi added a supporting female role to the movie "The Defender", which is the girlfriend of the hotel aunt's son. This role is played by Moon Geun-young.

Moon Geun-young's good friend, actor Kim Ji-soo, plays the role of the hotel aunt. Kim Ji-soo and Moon Geun-young collaborated in the same movie for the first time. The two played the role of "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law" in the movie.

Kim Ji-soo was born in 1972, and Moon Geun-young was born in 1987. Moon Geun-young and Kim Ji-soo play two generations without any sense of dissonance.

In addition to the early films of SA Pictures, such as "My Naughty Girlfriend", Song Yi served as a producer. In the past few years, Song Yi has not served as a producer for any of SA Pictures' movies, which shows how much Song Yi attaches importance to the movie "The Defender".

Lee Joon-ki plays Park Jin-woo, the son of hotel aunt Soon-ae.

Moon Geun-young plays Park Jin-woo's girlfriend Cui Eun-hee, who is also Park Jin-woo's college classmate.

The reason why Song Yi added the role of Cui Eunxi to the original movie was to add a touch of warmth to this black and white movie.

Moon Geun-young played Choi Eun-hee as a child in "Blue Life and Death". At that time, Moon Geun Young won the title of National Sister with this Korean drama. Song Yi also deliberately wrote the name of Park Jin Woo's girlfriend as Choi Eun Hee, which can be regarded as an Easter egg in the movie "The Defender".

After all, Moon Geun-young is also very popular among middle-aged and elderly people in Korea. Many uncles and aunts hope to have a well-behaved daughter or daughter-in-law like Moon Geun-young.

Park Jin-woo and Cui Eun-hee are college classmates. The two got acquainted through a reading club. The two often go to the library together for dates.

Choi Eun-hee has a quiet personality and doesn't like to attend parties. Park Zhenyu has a more outgoing personality, is enthusiastic about helping others, and has made many good friends.

To put it simply, Park Jin-woo is an e person and Choi Eun-hee is an i person. However, Park Jin-woo and Choi Eun-hee have complementary personalities and are very compatible.

During their relationship in college, Park Jin Woo and Cui Eun Hee had already met their parents. Park Jin Woo's parents recognized Choi Eun Hee as their prospective daughter-in-law and they would get married after they graduated from college.

Park Jin-woo was very active in college, loved sports, had a wide range of friends, had a sense of justice, and was fond of fighting injustices. He had high prestige among the student community and was a student leader.

Later, through someone's introduction, Park Jin-woo joined the Busan Reading Association. Because college students are dissatisfied with the military dictatorship's total war rule, some students verbally attacked the total war law at the Busan Reading Association event.

Choi Eun-hee and Park Jin-woo participated in several book club activities organized by the Busan Reading Association. She felt that the nature of the book club activities had changed, so she withdrew from the book club activities.

Later, due to a whistleblower, the Busan Reading Union was recognized as a left-wing group by the Korean authorities, and all the students of the Busan Reading Union were arrested.

Other college students were released one after another after their parents paid bail, but the five students represented by Park Zhenyu have not been released. Hotel aunt Shun Ai realized that this matter was not that simple. Someone instructed the Busan police to deliberately embarrass Park Zhenyu and others.

Cui Eunxi went to her father for help for her boyfriend Park Jinwoo. Cui Eunxi's father is a university professor. Not only was he unwilling to help, but he persuaded his daughter Cui Eunxi to break up with Park Zhenyu.

Cui's father felt that Park Zhenyu had a strong personality, did not know how to adapt to things, was somewhat motivated, and could easily be taken advantage of by people with malicious intentions.

Park Jin-woo was obviously not an early member of the Busan United Reading Club, but was eventually identified by the Busan police as the main organizer and leader of the Busan United Reading Club. Doesn’t that explain the problem?

Cui Enxi is very disappointed. She can understand Cui's father's choice, but she does not agree with Cui's father's approach.

"Elite intellectuals like you are always good at weighing the pros and cons and protecting yourself wisely. You are always on the side of the winner, and of course you will never fail."

"People should not laugh at and slander people who are braver than him, because they stand up and speak out. Even if they cannot change the facts, they are attracting more people's attention and making their own efforts to build a better country."

"If the sky is dark, then live in the dark; if making noise is dangerous, then remain silent; if you cannot illuminate others, then crouch in a corner."

"But please don't defend the darkness when you are experiencing it, don't be proud of your own sloppiness, and don't ridicule those who are braver and more passionate than yourself."

"We can be as humble as dust, but we cannot be twisted like maggots." Cui Enxi said righteously.

Cui Eunxi's words left Cui's father speechless. He no longer advised his daughter Cui Eunxi to break up with Park Zhenyu.

Cui's father instructed Cui Enxi and asked Cui Enxi to find a powerful lawyer to defend her boyfriend Park Zhenyu. After Cui Enxi heard about it, she quickly went to the hotel aunt Shun Ai to discuss it.

Shun Ai is in a dilemma. She is just an ordinary hotel proprietress, but she knows such a great person as a lawyer. Later, the hotel proprietress thought of Song Youshuo who often ate at their house. This guy seemed to be a lawyer.

Song Youshuo only had a high school diploma and passed the Korean Judicial Examination after taking it seven times in a row. He later became a judge and changed his career to a tax lawyer.

A few years ago, Song Youshuo's family was poor and it was difficult to make a living. He often went to Shun Ai's small restaurant to eat.

Shun Ai's husband, Lao Jin, was very dissatisfied with this. Shun Ai advised her husband, "After all, he is a very motivated young man. He won't overwhelm us with a few meals. When he passes the exam, he will have money to pay back." We have money for food.”

Lao Jin was very skeptical about this. "For a high school student, if he wants to pass the judicial examination, isn't it more difficult than the United States landing on the moon?"

Later, Song Youshuo made money. In order to repay his aunt, he often brought customers or subordinates to the restaurant for dinner and became a regular patron of the restaurant.

Now that her son Park Jin-woo has been arrested, Soon-ae has no intention of running a restaurant. At Cui Enxi's suggestion, Shun Ai found Song Youshuo for help. After struggling for a long time, Song Youshuo resolutely embarked on the road of defending Park Jinyu and other Bulin incidents in order to repay the debt of conscience of the hotel lady.

Song Youshuo also transformed from a tax lawyer into a human rights lawyer.

Even with Song Youshuo's intervention, it was not easy to help these students get rid of unwarranted charges during the Quanzhanfa regime.

After being detained for a period of time, Park Zhenyu and others were later released with support from the outside world.

However, Park Zhenyu received intensive care in prison, experienced irreversible damage, and finally died. Cui Eunxi did not marry and became a university professor. She has been taking care of Park Zhenyu's parents in the name of daughter-in-law.

Compared with the original version of "The Defender", Song Yi feels that the plot of SA Pictures' "The Defender" is more fleshed-out and the characters are more three-dimensional.

In this movie, Song Woo-seok, Park Jin-woo and Choi Eun-hee are all outstanding characters.

The first half of the SA version of "The Defender" mainly tells the story of Park Jin-woo, a tragic character, and also intersperses the relationship history between him and Cui Eun-hee, as well as Song Woo-seok's early life.

The movies at this time have warm colors and are relatively healing. The content of the movie is also relatively warm, and the audience enjoyed watching it.

After Park Jin-woo was arrested, the movie became cold-toned, and the movie also changed from color to black and white. This tone also serves as a metaphor for the disorder during the Total War against the French government. This shooting style was also used in the film "Memories of Murder".

In the second half, the audience began to sympathize with the fate of Park Zhenyu and others. After Park Zhenyu's death, this sadness and anger accumulated to the highest point.

Song Youshuo's defense is not meaningless. The more frustrated he becomes, the more courageous he becomes and he continues to speak out for the students. He also found a group of partners with similar interests and beliefs, including Song Youshuo's assistant Park Bangzhen. The prototype of Park Bangjin is Park Dong-ho, the current mayor of Seoul.

In 1988, Song Woo-seok went into full force at a congressional hearing, lashing out at close associates of the All-War Act of the Fifth Republic, including Hyundai Group founder Zhou Zhengyong.

In the documentary "Hello, I am Song Woo-seok", this content was also broadcast. At that time, the video material of the liquidation hearing was shown.

It is worth mentioning that Song Yi himself will star in the movie "The Defender" as Zhou Zhengyong, the founder of Hyundai Group.

Zhou Zhengyong was the richest man in South Korea in 1988. Song Yi, the richest man in South Korea, played the role of Zhou Zhengyong, the richest man in South Korea. Zhou Zhengyong was also Song Yi's great-uncle, which is also a highlight of the movie "The Defender".

Because Zhou Zhengyong is a villain in the movie "The Defender", if anyone else starred, Zhou Mengjiu and others might protest against SA Pictures. Song Yi's appearance solved this problem.

In addition to filming "The Defender", Song Yi's other important job in the first half of the year was Yahoo Korea's key game project "Dota 2".

After Chen Xinyu succeeded Song Yi as the president of Yahoo Korea, Chen Xinyu has been thinking of ways to improve Yahoo Korea's performance.

Before working at SA Soft, Chen Xinyu participated in the research and development of "Kart Racing" and led the research and development of "Audition". She also has rich experience in game development.

Chen Xinyu still wanted to develop a multiplayer online game, so she asked Song Yi for her opinion, and Song Yi recommended a moba game.

Moba games are actually multiplayer online tactical competitive games.

The core gameplay of this type of game is based on hero battles. Most of them have more than two teams choosing heroes to fight. Competitive maps usually have three lines of troops and know the base. Players must defeat their opponents and destroy their bases to win.

Moba games include Riot Games’ “League of Legends”, Valve’s “Dota 2”, Penguin’s “Honor of Kings”, ByteDance’s “Endless Showdown”, and Blizzard’s “Overwatch”.

Among so many moba games, Song Yi has set his research and development target on "Dota 2", which is the least difficult to develop.

Song Yi's plan is to invest in Riot Games, and eventually acquire shares of Riot Games like Penguin.

In this way, SA Soft has "Dota 2" and Riot Games has "League of Legends". With these two MOBA games, Song Yi can start promoting the e-sports league.

SA Group will also establish a corresponding e-sports club SAT (SA E-sports Club), which will train LOL and Dota2 separately at the same time.

New Asia Network represents the game "World of Warcraft" produced by Blizzard. When Chen Xinyu saw that "World of Warcraft" was so popular in the mainland, she wanted to make an MMORPG game similar to "World of Warcraft" in South Korea. Who knew that Song Yi actually suggested that she develop a MOBA game.

Song Yi said that the reason why he wanted to develop "Dota 2" was mainly inspired by Ice Frog.

Dota is actually a map in "War 3". After the Dota map was updated to the All-Star version, Ice Frog became the main map programmer for the Dota map.

With the continuous updates of the 6.0 version of the Dota map, new heroes and new spells are constantly being introduced to the new Dota map, making the game more and more playable.

The popularity of Dota has also spread rapidly on university campuses, especially in mainland China.

College students who went to school after 2000 basically bought a computer, whether it was a laptop or a desktop computer assembled in a computer city.

College boys also often make appointments to play Dota together, because "War 3" itself is a free game, and the Dota map is inherently very playable. In addition, college dormitories often use the same network, and everyone's computer configuration The difference is not big, so the game delay is not too different.

What will be tested at this time is gamers’ understanding of the multiplayer online competitive game “Dota”.

What kind of initial equipment should you buy when you go out, when should you go farming, and when should you catch people with your teammates.

At this time, some powerful Dota players have uploaded their game videos to video websites, and Dota players will also discuss tactics and the like on game websites like 17173.

At this time, the Dota game already has the potential to separate from the "War 3" game and become a separate game.

At this time, Dota players also suggested to Blizzard officials to develop a Dota game. However, at this time, Blizzard did not have the energy to develop Dota, and did not appreciate the potential of the Dota game.

The Dota game is free to play from start to finish, and Blizzard completely fails to see the potential of the Dota game.

After MOBA games like "LOL" and "Dota2" became popular, Blizzard regretted it because they missed another gold mine. Later, in order to regain MOBA game players, they later developed "Overwatch".

At this time, "LOL" has not yet been launched. Chen Xinyu started the research and development of "Dota 2", which can actually get a head start.

If "Dota 2" is released before "LOL", and gamers have the first impression, "Dota 2" may become popular before "LOL".

South Korea has SA Soft, China has Xinya Network, and RB also has inschool. With these three Internet company giants, the "Dota 2" game official can launch the "Dota 2" e-sports league at the earliest.

SA Soft can also set high rewards for the official events of the "Dota 2" game to attract more e-sports players to invest in the "Dota 2" game.

South Korea held the Asian Games in Incheon in 2014. SA Soft can also add "Dota 2" to the competition. The SAT team also hopes to win the Asian Games gold medal and be exempted from military service.

Song Yi believes that with the temptation of bonuses and exemption from military service, South Korea will also emerge with awesome e-sports talents like Faker.

Song Yi and Chen Xinyu met Ice Frog in Seoul. A gaming guru who is almost invisible on social media.

Song Yi and Bingwa talked about their understanding of "Dota 2".

Song Yi had no other requirements for this game, except that the first voiceover after the game started was "The enemy has 30 seconds to arrive on the battlefield."

Although SA Group is the largest gaming company in South Korea, it is not as strong as the mainland market.

New Asia Network also represents two online games, "World of Warcraft" and "Legend of Legend", and also operates multiple online games such as "Kart Runner", "Audition" and "World of Legend".

If MOBA games rise, as long as the SA Group holds two popular games, "LOL" and "Dota 2", plus the e-sports league organized by the SA Group, plus the SA live broadcast platform, the SA Group will create A gaming empire similar to Penguin!
