My capital is quite large.

Chapter 332 Preliminary Selection

Many people don't understand.

Since the other party has already admitted defeat, is willing to withdraw the lawsuit and issue a public apology, why is Haofeng still clinging to the issue and insisting on completing the process in court?

But this is precisely Haofeng Group's one-and-done solution in terms of legal operations.

If the other party agrees to withdraw the lawsuit and settle, then in the legal and judicial records, the Sinbote Contract, which has entangled Tsuburaya Productions for decades, will still be in a gray and ambiguous area within the Tokyo University region.

Today, the Venerable Qiao has stepped down. Tomorrow or the day after, who knows which fool will buy this incomplete authorization?

Haofeng's side wants to use this effective first-instance judgment to establish a legally binding precedent in the entire Dongda University judicial system.

As the S4 World Championship is in full swing across the ocean, the domestic esports scene and public opinion have also reached new heights with the announcement of the quarterfinals draw results.

The progress of this year's S6 season has been largely as predicted by most veteran players and industry insiders.

The IM team, known as EDG's second team, was unable to create a miracle in the highly competitive group stage due to its weak foundation. They were eliminated in the round of 16, ending their World Championship journey in disappointment.

However, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of domestic fans, as the two leading teams representing the LPL—EDG and RNG—both advanced to the quarterfinals.

Until the knockout stage matchups were displayed on a big screen to viewers and fans across the internet.

RNG will face off against the defending champions, SKT, led by the Great Demon King Faker!

EDG, on the other hand, drew ROX Tigers, who are also from the Korean region!

"Holy crap! RNG's luck with the draw is terrible! How did they end up running into SKT right away?!"

"RNG is really in danger this time... Faker is a monster! It seems that he has never lost to an LPL team in the World Championship so far. Uzi is probably going to be studied by the Korean team again."

The entire internet was on tenterhooks for RNG, but conversely, most people on various forums and fan groups felt fortunate about EDG's draw.

"A fantastic draw! This is absolutely the best possible draw for EDG!"

"It's safe! Our number one seed is at least guaranteed a spot in the semifinals!"

This almost blind optimism has a fairly reasonable basis in the current esports scene.

After all, this EDG team, led by Clearlove, achieved an undefeated 16-0 record in the recently concluded LPL Summer Split.

On the stage of the Summer Finals, they even swept RNG 3-0!

In the eyes of all Chinese players, this year's EDG team is absolutely among the strongest.

As for their upcoming match against the ROX Tigers?

"ROX? What kind of amateur team is that? I've never even heard of them!"

"Aside from that jungler named Peanut who's quite good-looking, this team doesn't have a single recognizable star player. How are they going to compete with our Summer Finals champions?"

In 2016, when information was not yet fully transparent, domestic social media fans had no idea how terrifying this team, hailed as the "dark horse of South Korea," truly was.

In their eyes, the most frightening team in the Korean region is SKT.

As long as they don't run into SKT, EDG, who have dominated the domestic league, are just easy prey.

Countless esports influencers and fervent fans even started threads on online forums, going wild with their fantasies:

"The number one seed strikes hard! They'll replicate S4OMG's 3-0 sweep of NJW, giving our brothers in the fight against Korea a much-needed boost!"

……

On the other hand, the super online variety show "Dongda Hip Hop," which was produced by Tencent Video with a huge budget and attracted a lot of attention during its early promotion, finally ushered in the mentor selection stage in the studio in Yanjing.

It lasted for several months and involved countless battles in various competition zones.

Hip-hop elites and rappers from all over the country have worked incredibly hard to earn this opportunity to meet that man in person.

Tencent Video's ambition and investment in this variety show exploration are unprecedented. However, as the first attempt in China to explore this completely uncharted underground and non-mainstream genre, their lineup of mentors still shows the cunning characteristic of a major company.

On the one hand, due to a lack of confidence in this type of hip-hop theme that had never been tested in the mainstream market and was somewhat sensitive, they ultimately did not dare to throw tens of millions of yuan in appearance fees to Zhou Tongxue and other Chinese pop stars, just like Hao Feng did when he started The Voice of China.

On the other hand, Sun Zhonghuai, who was in charge of artist coordination, set his sights on another big name from the past—Pan Shuai.

Will Pan was once a hugely popular figure in the music scene, but with the decline of the traditional record industry in recent years, his popularity has declined, and his appearance fees are now much cheaper than they used to be.

Tencent not only signed him for an extremely low price, but also deeply linked him with the concept of Zhou Tongxue's lifelong rival in its publicity campaign, thereby creating momentum on Weibo and other major platforms.

As for the remaining two mentors, Zhang Zhenyue and Hotdog.

Industry insiders see this as a prime example of being both economical and affordable.

Hotdog, as the godfather of underground rap, has a high level of professionalism.

Chang Chen-yue has a high level of popularity among the people, and the price of the two of them as a package deal is about the same as that of Pan Shuai alone, only 60 each.

Although they saved money on the mentor's star salary.

However, Tencent Video's investment in stage equipment, set design, live sound system, and band can be described as extravagant!

Sun Zhonghuai and the production team had made strategic contingency plans early on: if the hip-hop theme really flopped, the multi-million dollar, top-of-the-line sound and live broadcast equipment would not just sit in the warehouse; they could always start a traditional folk song or band music show to recoup their losses.

Of course, the biggest source of confidence for this show is that incredibly handsome man!
