"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
"What fools we were to harbor such paltry doubts and hostilities!" Adam gasped between guffaws. "With Smith at the vanguard, what crisis could ever threaten to overwhelm us?""Indeed, indeed!" Sean chortled in agreement, his earlier grievances forgotten amidst the swelling tide of renewed ambition ignited by Evan's transcendent ambitions. "We remain brothers bound on this grand expedition, whatever squalls may beset our course!"Yet no sooner had Evan settled into his estate's tranquil confines than the metallic chime of the Super Rich System heralded a fresh proclamation—one quite unlike any prior issuance."Ding! Host's burgeoning prowess has outgrown the Campus Version parameter. Calibrations reverting to original operational matrices.""Ding! The Thirteenth Charge is hereby decreed: Elevate Splendid Music to unprecedented national preeminence, its coffers swollen with profits eclipsing all rivals within this singular lunar cycle!""Ding! Failure shall be recompensed with the perma
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!
Woah!As soon as he finished speaking, the representatives from the various television stations erupted into an uproar!They should know that the contracts they brought today were hegemonic, with terms akin to the big fish swallowing the smaller ones. Yet, Sean directly bypassed industry norms and brazenly discussed the extent of support, which was a bit too much for them!"Splendid Music really has a big attitude, wanting to collaborate with our television stations, yet actually demanding a starting price!""Exactly, they don't even consider the conglomerates behind our television stations. Hmph, many people want to collaborate with us. Who do you think Splendid Music is? Who gave you the audacity to say such things here?""I'm quite puzzled too! Don't other television stations have similar shows like this 'National Talent Show'? How dare they ask us for prices? The highest bidder wins, what a joke!""..."The employees from Music Television and Home Box Office had just sat down when
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
Woah!The expressions of the crowd changed, becoming quite unsightly!The representatives from Music Television and Home Box Office narrowed their eyes, their faces revealing a chilling aura!At this moment, Tyler Knight trembled as he glanced left and right at his peers, shakily raising his hand!"Good!"Evan pointed at Tyler Knight and casually said, "You it is, then. The broadcasting rights for our show will go to you!"Boom!The audience erupted instantly!"Is this person an idiot or not? He actually chose a small local television station, one with abysmal ratings at that!""Ridiculous, ridiculous. I suddenly want to use a special ability – time acceleration – just to see the day when Splendid Music's talent show becomes a laughingstock!""Don't be ridiculous. Does this person understand or not? You might not choose us television stations, but this is a talent show! Who in the world doesn't know that Home Box Office and Music Television are the heavyweights for such shows? Yet you
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
The salaries for such talent shows were calculated per episode. Generally, even a popular talent show would have at most twenty episodes, and the top special effects artists and lighting technicians could earn a maximum of $30,000 to $50,000 per episode!But now, Evan had offered $5 billion!$5 billion! That equated to $250 million per episode, and with a crew of at most 100 people, each person could earn $2.5 million!One had to wonder, how many people could resist such a lucrative opportunity – completing one episode in three days and earning $2.5 million?With such generous rewards, brave individuals would surely emerge!If Lumina City Television Station released such recruitment notices, it was likely that even the top special effects artists and lighting technicians from their own television stations would rush to Lumina City for interviews!Just imagining it was terrifying!"Mmm, the third problem is also solved. Let's proceed to the fourth problem!"Evan pondered for a moment a
