In Huayu, the career reward is spy

Chapter 193 Drifting is a man’s sport!

In the GTR racing club, Ji Yu was communicating with the engineer about the debugging of the car, and there was a photographer taking pictures nearby.

Ji Yu stood in front of the car, pointed at the front wheel and said, "There was a delay in adjusting the inclination of the right front wheel when turning, and the tire contact area was affected when skidding."

The engineer looked at the data on the computer and nodded to write down Ji Yu's requirements.

There is a huge difference between drift racing and rally racing. One pursues entertainment and extreme cornering techniques, while the other pursues extreme speed.

The requirements for the car will naturally be very different.

Ji Yu has intermediate driving skills and has a lot of professional knowledge about cars.

Any good driver is half an automotive engineer.

The performance tuning has not been completed yet, but the car's paint job is done.

It’s a very standard Itasha style, with Initial D elements and Ji Yu’s own comic image design. The black and white pattern looks very handsome.

If you want to integrate into the drift culture, pain cars are a must.

Fans will only blindly trust celebrities if they are trendy enough. After Edison Chen retired from the entertainment industry in 2008, he still has a group of crazy fans thanks to his trendy outfits.

Star and actor are two different concepts.

Ji Yu wants to be a big star, not just a good actor.

Drifting culture is also the easiest point in racing culture to go viral.

So handsome.

Ordinary people won’t pay attention to how many minutes and seconds it takes for rally drivers to reach the finish line, but they will definitely be fascinated by the handsome drift fans.

The reason why Initial D is so popular and is praised as a masterpiece by many people is because of the element of drift.

Initial D is very popular, but many people don’t know that the prototype of Fujiwara Takumi is the founder of the D1 Drift Grand Prix.

Having his driver's license revoked due to drifting made him realize that existing racing events are simply not enough to satisfy drift enthusiasts.

They must have their own competitions so that the drift culture can develop better.

The D1 Drift Grand Prix was born.

So far, this is only the second D1 Drift Grand Prix, but it is very well-known.

December is the month of competitions, and many drift enthusiasts from all over the world have come to Japan.

However, D1 is still not well-known and is only famous in a small circle.

There is still a long way to go before the D1 Drift Championship can go beyond Japan and become an international event.

But things are different now. After Ji Yu announced his participation in D1, the popularity of this year's D1 competition instantly increased.

Fuji TV came to broadcast the game, but they did not have this treatment last year, and no media broadcast D1 as a regular sports event.

The influence of big stars is different. They can instantly accomplish things that they cannot achieve even after trying for a long time.

Now D1 event organizers seem to see an opportunity to accelerate their internationalization.

Ji Yu, the Asian superstar, also comes to participate in the D1 Drift Grand Prix. Isn’t this a good opportunity for D1 to break out of its circle?

To promote racing culture, we need these celebrities to join in.

As for Ji Yu's skills, they didn't have much hope, as long as he could float.

You can't just sign up without knowing how to float, that would be a joke.

On the dry track, a black and white pain car is speeding on the track. The angle of the car body tilts very exaggeratedly every time it turns, and the smoke raised by the tires is very large every time it drifts, and you can't even see the taillights of the car.

Ji Yu's expression was calm inside the car, but his hands and feet were very quick in changing gears, braking and accelerating.

The car has just been debugged and he is testing it.

On the stands beside the track, the engineer was tracking Ji Yu's car with a telescope and was also observing the condition of the car.

This was also his first time debugging a drift car, and the requirements for a car were different from those for a rally car.

The scoring points in a drift race are mainly determined by the sideways sliding angle and drift smoke.

If you want to get high scores, you have to drift more exaggeratedly and more handsomely.

The angle at which you slide into a turn is very important; the consideration is not speed but showing off your skills.

Therefore, when debugging, we should pay more attention to this aspect of modification.

Fortunately, Ji Yu is very sensitive to the condition of the car and can detect any small problems in any part. Now the car is basically in perfect condition.

After Ji Yu ran two laps and got off the track, he gave a thumbs up to the engineer in the distance.

The car is in perfect condition now!
Just waiting for the competition!
Ji Yu doesn't have much time to stay in Japan. He has to return to China after the competition and help Wang Xinling and Lin Junjie promote their new album.

At this time, Fuji TV's public relations officer Maki also came over and praised him with great admiration: "Yu-kun is amazing and very professional, better than many professional racing drivers."

Ji Yu took off his helmet and said with a smile: "It's far from it, but it's still no problem to try drifting."

Maki shook her head and said, "That's already very impressive. I've watched the video of D1's competition last year, and your level is better than those players."

Ji Yu smiled, looked at the car being pushed away by the engineer, and then asked Maki, "How is your communication with the D1 people? Can you get the hosting rights for China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan?"

Maki smiled confidently and said, "It's been done. The other party is very happy that someone can promote the D1 event."

"Thank you for your help, you are also very professional!"

"My pleasure."

Ji-woo and Maki chat for a while and then leave the club.

He also wants to meet the original author of Initial D.

He was very curious whether Natsuki also had a prototype, or was just reflecting the current social situation in Japan.

The original author Shuichi Shigeno is a very interesting person. He also owns an AE86 and likes racing, but his skills are not good.

It doesn't matter if the technique is good or not, what drifting technique is needed for cartooning.

Ji Yu came to meet him mainly to discuss the copyright development of Initial D and the setting of the movie plot.

The suggestions given by the original author are still very valuable.

The Initial D IP is really good. It combines with drift culture, organizes competitions, sells peripherals, strengthens personal style and creates personal myths.

The more halos you have, the more solid your foundation will be, and the further you can go.

When he goes to Korea, he will also create the aura of Asia's dance king.

Even if he goes to the West Coast in the future, he can still create the aura of the king of rap.

When he first entered the circle, Ji Yu just wanted to become a star, make money and become famous.

After being in the industry for a long time and becoming an Asian superstar, he thinks more, his thoughts are more mature, and he wants more.

What Ji Yu wants is to create a god, to make himself into a god!
In Shuichi Shigeno's garage, Ji Yu is experiencing his AE86. The car has not been modified much and is just an ordinary civilian car.

But it is well maintained and you can see that Shuichi Shigeno takes good care of it.

Ji Yu stepped on the accelerator, listened to the sound of the engine, and found that something was wrong with the engine.

The two men got out of the car and opened the hood to check the problem. Ji Yu chatted with him while he was working.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with the engine. He just wanted to show off his love for cars so that he could win the favor of Shuichi Shigeno.

If you want to develop an IP and bind it to the IP, you must get the support and affirmation of the original author.

Shigeno Shuichi was really surprised at this time, and his impression of Ji Yu also increased sharply. "I didn't expect you to know so much about cars. I'm glad to have a star like you who likes cars and drift culture."

Ji Yu looked at him with a smile, threw the wrench in his hand aside and said, "I was also influenced by your comics and have always had a dream of racing.

So, I want to shoot Initial D to let more people know and like drifting.”

Shigeno Shuichi gave a thumbs up and said, "You are a respectable person for working hard for your dreams."

A big star knows so much about cars and is willing to take the initiative to help him repair his car. This shows true love.

Shuichi Shigeno decided to help with the IP development of Initial D and was willing to serve as the screenwriter and provide advice on the film script.

Ji Yu was very happy, feeling that it was worth it for him to get his hands covered in engine oil.

After chatting with Shigeno Hideichi for more than an hour, Ji Yu asked to leave.

Sitting in his GTR, he looked back at the AE86 parked in the garage, feeling nostalgic.

But he still prefers GTR.

Ji Yu stepped on the accelerator, drifted out of Shigeno Shuichi's yard and left in a chic manner.

Shuichi Shigeno looked at the tire marks on the ground with envy.

I wish I had such good skills.

I must watch the game the day after tomorrow.

After Ji Yu drove away, he quietly went to Ayase Haruka's house.

Take a shower, change clothes, and then have a nice meal.

Ayase Haruka has moved from the small apartment to the big house prepared for her by Ji Yu. Now she has nothing to do so she cooks some delicious food at home and waits for Ji Yu to come.

Ji Yu also plans to let Ayase Haruka play Natsuki.

The bad women in compensated dating still have to be played by Japanese.

No one else can perform that way.

At Ayase Haruka's house, when Ji Yu came out of a shower, the dining table was already full of food.

I have to say that Japanese women are very talented at being housewives.

Ji Yu sat down to eat and asked, "Are you going to watch the game the day after tomorrow?"

"Go, let me cheer you on!" Ayase Haruka put down her chopsticks and made a cheering gesture.

Japanese women always have some cute little tricks.

Ji Yu quite likes this kind of soft and cute girl, who is lovely and obedient.

He smiled and said, "I will write two songs about racing later. How about you be the heroine of the MV?"

"Really? I do!"

Ayase Haruka is really happy. As long as she can shoot a MV, the media will report and speculate about their relationship. This will create popularity, and Ji Yu's fans can also get to know themselves through the MV.

With Ji Yu's huge fan base, a MV is no worse than a TV series for her.

Seeing how happy she was, Ji Yu decided not to tell her about playing the role of Xia Shu for the time being.

It saves you from having fun all at once.

Soon, the two finished their meal and curled up on the sofa to watch a movie together.

Movies are very popular in Tokyo, and Ji Yu likes to watch them very much, but he can never finish watching them because he is busy modeling with Ayase Haruka.

Two days passed quickly, and it was the day of the D1 competition.

This year's D1 competition venue is very dangerous, it is the international karting track next to the SUGO track, which is known as the most dangerous GT track.

The international karting track is actually more dangerous than the GT track.

The main reason is that the go-kart track is small and not regularly maintained, so the road condition is very bad.

But Ji Yu was still very confident. He had tried it several times before and was very familiar with the road conditions here.

Although drift competitions do not require a navigator, Ji Yu's brain is the best navigator.

In the pre-match interview, the reporter asked about his target ranking, and Ji Yu said guiltily that he wanted to be the champion.

And it’s a five-station grand slam!
There are five D1 competitions in total. Ji Yu wants to win all five championships and become a D1 legend!
But his bold words are seen as bragging by reporters and some racing enthusiasts.

There are so many spectators here today that there is no room in the stands and many people are standing.

Most of the people who came were Ji Yu’s fans, which made this year’s game very lively and the atmosphere was much better than last year.

But some people may not like it.

In order to maintain the pride of their niche circle, some drifters shouted at Ji Yu's fans and said that Ji Yu was just a clown who wanted to make news without any ability.

The Drift Clan is mostly men, and Ji Yu's fans are mostly women. You can imagine how jealous these arrogant men would be, and they are not polite at all when mocking him.

Ji Yu’s fans almost got into a fight with them.

"He is just a guy who makes a living by his looks. Drifting is a man's sport. What does he know?"

"How ridiculous! You dare to say you want to be the champion!"

"I bet he'll fly right out of the corner!"

Ji Yu also heard the quarrel, but he had no choice but to use his strength to slap those haters in the face.

In the eyes of many arrogant people, idol stars are just a face. What kind of ability can they have?
It's just too early to laugh now.

It’s not too late to mock him after he loses the game.

At the workstation, the car had been inspected, and the female publicist Maki came over and said with a smile: "Come on, don't be influenced by those people, they are jealous of you."

"I don't take it seriously. I will prove myself." Ji Yu said, put on his helmet and got into the car.

Soon dozens of contestants appeared on the track.

After everyone parked the car at the designated location, Ji Yu got out of the car, took off his helmet and waved to the fans.

His fans screamed excitedly and then shouted slogans of support in a very organized manner.

I wish him to win the championship.

Ayase Haruka was also in the stands waving her cheering sign and shouting "Come on!"

This scene made all the racers on the scene very envious.

Why are all their fans men? They also want cute female fans.

Many contestants had an idea in their minds, to defeat him severely, to step on him, and to let those cute girls see what a man is!
Pretty boys should dance in gigolo clubs!
Ji Yu also felt their hostility, but he still greeted them gracefully.

The camera recorded the entire scene, and the commentator shouted and analyzed the psychological activities of these racers to deliberately create tension.

After hearing this, Ji Yu’s fans couldn’t help but get nervous, worrying that he might have an accident during the competition.

What if you get hit by a car?
Those ugly guys have dangerous eyes!

The race was about to begin, Ji Yu put on his helmet and got into the car.

A yellow-haired driver in the same row with him made a gesture of wiping his neck to him through the car window.

Ji Yu simply chose to ignore it and torture him severely later!
He hates yellow hair the most!
