My Elf Simulator

"Is everyone here? The train is ready to leave."

"Mr. Gong, we still need Xiao Li, he should be here soon."

"Call me to hurry up."

Inside the Dream Building Club, things started getting busy early in the morning.

In front of a minibus with the livery of the Dream Club, employees lined up to get on the bus.

Today is the day to set off for Changchuan, the provincial capital.

This time not only Kurosawa's Haitang team is about to set off, but Kurosawa's team also needs to follow them.

Complete the filming, live broadcast and other tasks on the way, and provide fresh first-hand information to fans who are following the Kurosawa Provincial Competition journey as soon as possible.

As a player with more than 2.6 million fans, it is normal to have a follow-up team.

There has been no such precedent in Haitang City in the past. It is simply unnecessary. Promoting the contestants in a big way without reaching the right weight level will only increase the laughing stock. A group of people followed and filmed everywhere, but the resulting video only had a measly tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of views, which was a waste of time and meaningless.

Kurosawa didn't care about the above, but when Mr. Gong suggested that the team follow and film the entire provincial competition, he thought for a moment and agreed.

The number of fans depends on operations.

In the early days, most of his fans came from local citizens who supported him. These people naturally learned about him by watching municipal events, or through forums, social media around them, etc. There are many sources of information.

However, after leaving Haitang, the amount of tap water has obviously dropped significantly, so it is indispensable to rely on online publicity and other means.

Operation and maintenance of official accounts, regular production of videos, and live broadcasts are helpful to increase the number of fans.

Kurosawa is not a person who is pretending to be arrogant and treats fame as if it were a waste of time. He was too lazy to do it in the past, but he just felt that he couldn't allocate his energy and lacked time.

Now that there is a team to shoot, edit, manage, and operate, he just lets them do it.

Kurosawa came to Haitang Elf Base.

Most of the Haitang team players who are about to go to the provincial capital Changchuan have already arrived and are in place.

"morning."

"Good morning Ze Shen."

"I'm super, Ze."

"I love you, Zebao."

"Don't do this. Use civilized words. There are cameras filming."

After a brief greeting, Ji Qingwen looked at the "little follower" holding a camera behind Kurosawa.

"he is?"

"Brother Huang, the photographer arranged by our club, took some footage. We have communicated with the league."

"Wow, what a big star."

"Hello, audience friends, I am Ze Shen's little fanboy. Remember to pay some attention to my family treasure."

After messing around for a while, the members of the representative team arrived before long.

The leader of the team this time was not the Minister of the Haitang Alliance, but a high-ranking member of the alliance whom Kurosawa had never seen before.

The foreman is very polite. He knows very well that it is not his turn to give orders and arrange work in this team. Most things are discussed with the members of the representative team.

Soon the bus carrying a crowd of people waiting set off for Changchuan.

Behind the bus is the minibus from the Dream Club.

The intercity expressway was smooth sailing.

Three hours later.

When the sparkling river in the distance appeared in front of them, everyone knew that Changchuan had arrived.

They will all spend the next period of time in this most prosperous city in Hanquan Province.

There are rows of high-rise buildings along the route where the bus is traveling. Even though Haitang is gradually developing into a second-tier city, there is still a big gap compared with Changchuan.

Kurosawa looked away, looking relatively calm about the upcoming provincial competition.

Strength gave him enough confidence.

The last time he came here, he was only a pro-level player who was beginning to show elite strength. He ended up in the second round of the qualifying rounds. It seemed that he was still far away from entering the main draw. He was purely a spectator.

This time, he is already a master, and looking only at the depth of the lineup, not the strength, he even feels quite good.

The only suspense is how many places they can achieve in the Provincial League One and how they will perform in the Provincial Super League.

Kurosawa looked at the contestant village that was gradually enlarging in front of him, his eyes growing expectant.

——

The Haitang team arrived relatively late this time.

When they checked in, many city teams in the player village had already arrived for one or two days.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of villas in the contestant village. Kurosawa, Ji Qingwen and Wei Lian share a villa.

Kurosawa picked the top layer.

I simply put my luggage away and lay on the bed for a while.

Tomorrow is the first day of the qualifying round. Today he is not going to continue arranging training, but is going to relax for a day before the game.

Firstly, his training had been properly prepared beforehand; secondly, he did not believe that he would encounter any trouble in the provincial first-division qualifying tournament with his current strength.

"Dong dong dong!"

Before Kurosawa could lie down for long, there was a knock on the door of the room.

"Enter."

Kurosawa thought it was Ji Qingwen downstairs, so he didn't pay attention and shouted into his pillow.

People outside pushed the door open and entered.

There was no sound for a long time before Kurosawa raised his head from the pillow.

"What's up"

After seeing the person clearly, he remembered that he seemed to have plans for today.

"Oh, I still want to take a day off." Kurosawa slowly sat up from the bed.

There was not just one person coming, there were men and women, well-equipped, and it was Kurosawa's photography team.

"Boss, we still have the filming tasks we agreed on today, so we can't take a break."

The planning and operations manager reminded.

The provincial competition will officially start tomorrow, and it will definitely not be so convenient to shoot.

"Then let's start." Thinking of this, Kurosawa did not choose to perfunctorily go through it.

A few days ago, the account announced that it would update plans such as VLOG and live broadcast during the provincial competition. Fans who follow him also spread the news, saying that lazy Kurosawa would not really change.

"Shouldn't I need to put on makeup?" Kurosawa looked at the field lady.

The field lady came closer, focused on Kurosawa's flawless face for a moment, swallowed her saliva, and shook her head.

She was originally going to put on some makeup for Kurosawa, but after a close observation, she couldn't find any flaws that needed to be modified.

After tidying up his clothes a little, Kurosawa was arranged by the shooting team to shoot vlog/provincial competition diary.

The content of the shooting is actually not complicated. First, let Kurosawa show what he prepared in his luggage in front of the camera.

In the uniform suitcase customized by the Haitang team, there are several sets of clothes, two or three books, emergency medicine boxes and so on.

Kurosawa put all the important things in the bracelet or the trial tower space. The only thing worth showing is the three sets of Haitang team uniforms this year.

The design of this year's uniforms is much simpler and fresher than last year, with blue and white colors.

At the instigation of the staff, Kurosawa went to the locker room to change into the uniforms and showed them off.

Another photographer took the opportunity to take a few photos of Kurosawa, preparing to use them as materials for uploading the account dynamics later.

While shooting, he also sighed: "Boss, your foundation is too good. You can use it directly without retouching. It would be better if you can smile more."

The next part is that Kurosawa took the photography team to wander around the players' village and introduce the situation inside the players' village, the cafeteria, the internal stores, the training hall, etc. to the audience.

There are many players like Kurosawa who have shooting tasks. Kurosawa met several familiar people on the way, and many of them seemed to be his star players in the provincial A competition last year.

While Kurosawa was strolling with the photography team, a joyful voice came from behind.

"Wow, are you the player Kurosawa from Haitang?"

"Real man, Zebao, I've liked you for a long time, can you sign for me?"

Three female players in light yellow team uniforms trotted to Kurosawa.

"Thank you for your support, where do you want me to sign?"

Kurosawa's eyes stayed on several female players for a moment, judging that they should be players from the county-level city teams near Haitang. The city logo on their uniforms looked familiar to Kurosawa, and Kurosawa's fame was now limited to the area around Haitang.

"Sign my clothes, thank you."

"Sign my hat."

Several people asked for autographs, thanked him like little fans and left without disturbing his filming.

"Boss, can you tell me what it's like to have other city players as fans?"

"I'm happy. Those who can come here are the best in each city league, but I hope there will be more fans with real strength in the future." Kurosawa put away the pen he signed. He has 2.6 million fans, and it must be said that his extraordinary charm has contributed a lot. He doesn't want to deny this, but he would be happier if he and the elves can recognize their strength at the same time.

Kurosawa is ready to change his label to a real strength player in this provincial competition.

After introducing the players' village, several people found a small park on the street to finish the shooting.

"Boss, can you say something to the fans in the end?"

Kurosawa thought for a moment and felt that he could give the fans a little hint.

"Thank you for your continued support. I have improved my skills recently. I will achieve satisfactory results for myself and everyone in this provincial competition. It is my duty to build Haitang's glory. Please follow the live broadcast room of the event and other dynamics and videos posted in the account."

"Ka!"

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Boss, you are so confident."

"Keep up for tomorrow's game."

The filming team was surprised by Kurosawa's last message to the fans.

It is basically impossible for a small city like Haitang to achieve good results in the provincial competition. It is enough to show your style in the competition. This is basically the tacit consensus of Haitang League fans.

So in the past, the Haitang team was eliminated early, and the fans would not be too disappointed, because they did not have expectations before the game.

There are very few examples like Kurosawa who confidently gave fans expectations before the game even started.

If you give fans hope, everyone will call friends to watch the game, but the players will be eliminated early in the qualifying round when they encounter strong opponents, it will backfire.

Therefore, seeing Kurosawa so confident, everyone was a little worried about him, but the competition would start tomorrow, and now was not the time to say discouraging words, so they swallowed the words of reminder.

Kurosawa parted ways with everyone.

He then returned to the villa in the athletes' village, and everyone went to a nearby hotel to prepare to edit the footage they had just shot.

It must be uploaded today, otherwise the popularity will drop a lot when the competition starts tomorrow.

Editing, subtitles, and review.

Two hours later.

Many Haitang citizens had just finished lunch when text message reminders rang on their phones.

"The athlete you are following, Kurosawa, has released a video "ZLOG/Provincial Competition Diary", come and take a look!"

Many office workers who were just about to go back to their workstations for lunch break and students playing with their phones didn't care about the things at hand and quickly clicked on the video.

"Oh my god, he really uploaded the video?"

A few days ago, Kurosawa's official account with 2.6 million fans released a preview that a series of programs would be produced during the provincial competition. Although fans expressed their expectations under the preview dynamics, not many people actually took it seriously.

Old fans all know that this person basically has no intention of doing business. He is a pure lazy dog ​​and will disappear directly after the competition.

After the preview dynamics came out, many people even vowed to set various FLAGs on the forum, such as eating X, wearing women's clothes, etc.

After this video was released, the lurkers in the forum immediately spoke out.

"Do what you say when you set FLAGs, give me a live broadcast room number."

"I'm kidding, brother~"

However, in addition to joking, fans did not forget to click into the video to watch the full film.

Now is the eve of the provincial competition, when the heat is the highest, and there are all kinds of news and gossip about the players everywhere.

After clicking on the video to watch, fans realized why Kurosawa's zombie account has become active recently. It turns out that he has formed a team.

This is not a bad thing, especially for Kurosawa's diehard fans.

Even if you are not a fan of Kurosawa, you can learn more about the specific situation of the provincial competition through his video.

The video starts with people waiting in the Begonia Elf Base Park. Ji Qingwen, Zhuang Yanbing and others also appear in the video.

"I am laughing to death. President Ji has lost his face and licks my Zebao so much."

"The relationship between the players seems to be better than expected. Even Zhang Qingzi nodded and said hello to Zebao, didn't he?"

"It's funny to death. The fans are arguing to death, but there seems to be no conflict between the players."

In the video, the members are all together and they officially set off. The camera then cuts to entering the player village, getting off the car to put the luggage, and the camera comes to the door of Kurosawa's room. When you knock on the door and enter, you will see a figure who is soft and buried in the pillow and quilt.

"So cute, lying on the bed like a lazy dog."

"Zebao also stays in bed, I also stay in bed, I am equal to Zebao."

When the video comes to the part of showing luggage and changing team uniforms, the density of barrage becomes higher.

"I want the same uniform as the team uniform."

"This uniform is so pretty, ten times prettier than any previous one, I'll buy it!"

"I say, is it possible that it's not the clothes that are pretty, but the person who is pretty, it might look like a school uniform on you"

"You don't wear makeup? What a shame."

"You're getting more and more handsome, hehe."

"."

"There are other female players' fans, they'll all be provincial star players in a few years."

The number of clicks grew rapidly, breaking 50,000 in less than a few minutes, and there were two to three thousand comments.

The overall length of the video is pretty impressive, fifteen or sixteen minutes.

It's mainly to show fans the environment of the players' village. Many ordinary viewers may never be exposed to the environment and pre-match atmosphere in the players' village in their lifetime, so they are very enthusiastic to click in and watch.

Until the end of the video, when they heard Kurosawa's words of thanks, their heartbeats accelerated instantly, and they couldn't help but pause to look at the subtitles a few more times.

In the past, when members of the Haitang team were interviewed and talked about the provincial competition, they were basically very low-key, because they knew they were not strong enough.

The confidence in Kurosawa's words can be felt by any audience who turns on the volume. Kurosawa can even be said to be the first Haitang player who dares to "open champagne" before the game in the past ten years.

"I am so confident, Zebao is so confident, I will pay close attention to the provincial competition."

"Is he too arrogant? You know, he basically lost in the first round last year."

"Forge glory? What's the matter? Go to heaven?"

"As a full-time fan of Zebao, I express my mindless support!"

"I will be ridiculed by fans from other cities."

"Everyone, keep a low profile. The child is ignorant and just joking. I take back my nonsense for my Zebao."

In the barrage, there was a lot of debate about Kurosawa's words in the forum.

Some people appreciate and agree with him, and think that it is too boring to talk about learning skills and tactics from advanced city league players and training and improving like in previous years. It has not even started yet, but it is defined as learning and training. Isn't it just a waste? People like Kurosawa who are outspoken and want to get results need to be encouraged regardless of whether they get results in the end. The competition is a fight, not a one-on-one competition. It's really not good if you don't have a little bit of spirit.

Some people also mocked his "big talk". Everyone knows that the competitiveness of the provincial competition is many times higher than that of the municipal league. Every player is the best in each city, but basically in the end it is the stage for players from Changchuan and three second-tier cities. Hei Ze is so confident that he will be eliminated early. Wouldn't he become a laughing stock among the audience in other cities, and laugh at Haitang for overestimating his ability?

After all, Hei Ze is the annual champion of Haitang. He represents not only himself, but also the entire city of Haitang. He should be more cautious in his words. Even if you know that you are talented, can't you keep a low profile for a few years when your strength is still weak, and wait until your strength is enough to show off?

Amid the discussion and reposting, the number of clicks on the video increased rapidly, and the comments about Hei Ze, either praise or criticize, also accumulated rapidly.

In such an enthusiastic atmosphere, Hei Ze ushered in the first day of the provincial competition.
