"Mr. Johnson, Mr. Sean is currently conferring with Mr. Smith. Perhaps you could return at a more opportune hour?""Eh? Smith is here as well, convening with Sean? Then I must insert myself into this discourse!" The dismissive retort betrayed a hint of indignance. "And might I remind you lot—were you not mere Tiktoc drones until recently reassigned? Why this newfound zeal in shielding that upstart Sean from my presence?"The raucous commotion intruded upon Sean's engrossed study of Evan's 'National Talent Show' proposal, its brash cadence leaving little mystery as to the intruder's identity. Adam, that rotund instigator, had arrived."That insufferable little..." Sean groused through gritted teeth, a muscle twitching beneath his left eye. He had harbored lingering resentments towards Adam for this very reassignment—exiled to the crumbling relic of Splendid Music alongside Devin while their obese former compatriot refused to relinquish Ava's 'Age of Immortal Heroes' box office receipts

However, the fact that Music Television and Home Box Office, the two variety show giants, actively called and mentioned joining them made him feel a little uncomfortable!Moreover, their attitude was rather arrogant!Only the call from the Lumina City local television station was completely unexpected for him!The Lumina City local television station was just the local station in Lumina City. It wasn't as famous as Music Television or Home Box Office, and its ratings were exceptionally low, ranking at the bottom of the industry!However, the station manager personally called him, without putting on an arrogant attitude like they were the greatest, which made him feel much more comfortable!He gathered all these people together and called Evan to report the situation."Mr. Smith, how should we choose later?"Upon hearing Sean's report, Evan frowned on the other end."The company is now under your leadership, so how to choose is up to you. You just need to report the final result to me!

However, his words did cause a glimmer of hope to shine in the eyes of Tyler Knight from Lumina City Television Station!He had long known that the television station representatives who came here all had hegemonic contracts in hand, while his small television station didn't have such rules. As long as they could collaborate, joining or not joining didn't matter!In contrast to his hope, the representatives from Home Box Office and Music Television wore mocking smiles on their lips. Hmph, it seemed this newcomer Mr. Sean truly didn't understand industry norms, acting so recklessly!Did he also want to emulate those world-renowned entertainment conglomerates, first releasing the show online and then enticing us to sign contracts? If so, why did he release the news earlier? Was it just hot air?Moreover, those companies had over a decade of development, with mature technologies, which was why shows like 'The Voice' and 'American Idol' became so popular. How could a newly merged and reor

After all, television stations were controlled by the state, not by a private enterprise that could decide its nature!And now, did this smiling youth know what he was doing? He was currently engaging in an irrational act devoid of any return!Could it be that his youth had left him unaware of the exorbitant cost required to trigger a qualitative transformation in a local television station? Hmph, it was an amount that even Tiktok might be unwilling to spend!For it was simply too much, far too much!"You're right! You've guessed correctly, I do intend to invest in Lumina City Television Station!"As if aware of their thoughts, Evan looked at their expressions with interest, curled his lips in a smile, and said to Tyler Knight, "Mr. Knight, as the station manager of a television station, you should know your station's bank account number, right? Come, give it to me!""Oh, oh, oh!"Tyler Knight hurriedly provided the station's external payment account number.He had long heard that Tik

"Mr. Smith, the situation is as follows!" Sean briefed Evan. "Due to the boycott from major networks and the industry, our audition sign-ups contain no celebrities whatsoever. We can only select from the populace, forfeiting any innate advantages celebrities possess.""I understand," Evan replied calmly to the grave-faced Sean. "It's a minor issue, inconsequential to the bigger picture. Our talent show targets the masses, does it not? This development makes our discoveries even more relatable. And if grassroots stars we cultivate outshine pampered celebrities, won't we earn greater satisfaction as their benefactors?""Speaking of judges, have you selected them? Remember Connor? Is he still our gopher? Bring him on as a special guest judge. Also, make Ava, Bella, Michelle, and Violet judges too—can't let our star power go to waste, can we?""Enough worrying—get to work. I eagerly anticipate our show's premiere and the emergence of Splendid Music's newest star talents!""Yes, Mr. Smith,
