809: Chapter 810 Top Tier Traffic 809: Chapter 810 Top Tier Traffic In the eyes of those people in Xiongcheng City, the moment Crow Brother agreed to make a move, the Xiao Family of Jiangnan was already on the path to ruin.
No matter who was behind the Xiao Family, no matter how powerful their backing, it was all in vain.
Even if they were one of the ten Aristocratic Clans, in the Zhili Prefecture, it was Crow Brother who called the shots.
The saying goes, “Even a powerful dragon cannot crush a local snake,” let alone the fact that Crow Brother was no snake–he was the dragon.
So, he was even more uncrushable.
Unless the Xiao Family of Jiangnan had the Dragon Country War God as their backer, but clearly that was impossible.
Most people thought this way, yet, they didn’t know that the Family Head of the Xiao Family was the War God, was King Yama.
Crow Brother had fallen to the War God fifteen years ago.
Fifteen years later, he had inexplicably set his sights on the War God’s family clan, which really was quite unlucky.
However, he did not know these details at the present.
The people from Blue Sea who were in the know had already heard about Crow Brother’s release from prison.
Some fled overnight.
Some personally went to Xiongcheng City to pay homage.
Others looked on it with disdain.
Zhu Shaoneng also received a notification from the Li Family in Xiongcheng City, telling him that Crow Brother was about to head to Blue Sea and urged him to seize the opportunity to take over those companies that needed to be acquired.
“It looks like I need to speed things up.
That Tianxing Media, I must get it into my hands.”
Zhu Shaoneng knew the urgency of the task.
If Crow Brother arrived, Tianhai Media would no longer be theirs.
“Young Master Zhu, since we can’t force our way, we need to come up with a strategy.
We have to force Tianxing Media into a position where they can’t operate, then take them over.Just like they took over Blue Sea Media.”
Zhu Dan spoke.
“Do you think I don’t know that?
I’m already working on a plan, am I not?”
Zhu Shaoneng frowned and said.
When it came to brainstorming, that woman Yu Milian was brilliant, a pity that she was already dead.
While he was worrying, someone arrived.
“Young Master Zhu, there’s a visitor.”
“Don’t let them in, I’m not in the mood.”
“Young Master Zhu, this person used to be a high-ranking official at Tianxing Media and an old boss of Blue Sea Group, Zhu Sa.
He’s one of our own family members.”
“Let him in.
This truly is like someone sending a pillow when I’m about to doze off.
Heaven is aiding me.”
Zhu Shaoneng laughed.
Soon afterward, Zhu Sa entered.
Last time, due to Yu Milian’s incident, the Blue Sea Group’s stock price collapsed, and in the end, they had to sell at a low price, which left him feeling very bitter.
This time around, he felt that Tianxing Media couldn’t hold on any longer, so he suggested to Duan Bin that he sell Tianxing Media to Zhu Shaoneng.
Of course, Duan Bin refused.
Because of his vacillating, he was fired.
Naturally, this guy was not happy, so he went looking for Zhu Shaoneng.
“Young Master Zhu, I have a way to make Tianxing Media suffer heavy losses!”
Zhu Sa said with a smile.
“What’s your plan?”
Zhu Shaoneng asked.
Zhu Sa said, “Tianxing Media is now a comprehensive entertainment media company with two television stations, one facing Blue Sea, focusing on TV dramas.
The other is a satellite TV channel, mainly working on variety shows.Tianxing Media recently bought the rights to three variety show formats from South Korea, planning to create local versions of the shows.If they succeed, their popularity will likely soar.Therefore, I suggest starting from here, making sure they absolutely fail to succeed.”
Zhu Shaoneng smiled.
This Zhu Sa really lived up to being the Year of the Dog.
He had just left Tianxing Media and was already betraying his old master.
But this idea was indeed a good one.
“Duan Bin, oh Duan Bin, just wait to face the music,” sneered Zhu Shaoneng.
“By rejecting my acquisition, I’ll make sure Tianxing Media completely stinks.”
Zhu Shaoneng chuckled coldly.
Just as Zhu Sa had said, Duan Bin analyzed the situation of Tianxing Media’s two TV stations.
The drama channel focused on the Blue Sea market and broadcasted dramas close to real life, which still had pretty good viewership.
But Blue Sea Satellite TV was not performing well.
It ranked almost at the bottom among national satellite TV stations.
The main issue was the lack of signature variety shows.
Therefore, he purchased the rights for three South Korean variety show programs, ready to make a big move.
For this, he invested nearly three hundred million.
The expected revenue might even be higher.
Now, one of the variety shows had already started filming, and in order to boost its popularity,
Duan Bin did not hesitate to pay a high price for top domestic trending stars.
For variety shows, you must have traffic, you must have big stars to make it work.
This is different from films and TV dramas.
If a film or TV drama has a good script, audiences will still buy in.
But a variety show without star power really struggles to succeed.
To ensure a successful shoot, Duan Bin often visited the set in person, and today, he was there again.
The stars of the crew were dining, enjoying delicacies from a private chef.
No choice, these few were hard to please.
As trending stars, young and high-maintenance, unlike the previous generation of stars who would dine with the crew, these few would not settle for less.
They demanded the finest meals from Blue Sea.
To satisfy them, the logistic team behind the scenes went through a lot of hardships.
“Hey, have you guys thought it through about what Young Master Zhu said?”
The speaker was the biggest name on set, Bai Yuning.
Currently an absolute top influencer in the country, Bai Yuning was different from those stars at Tianhai Entertainment; she was a trending star with not much acting skill but was incredibly popular, with the internet full of news about her.
She liked doing variety shows because they didn’t require much acting.
The audience’s expectations were low, and as long as the show was good, her popularity would continue to rise.
“Yuning Sister, what’s there to consider?
Of course, we’ll do as Young Master Zhu says,” said a man, and if Bai Yuning were top among women, then this Qin Shuo was her male counterpart.
“Exactly, Tianxing Media may be alright, but how does it compare to the Zhu Family?
What’s more, behind the Zhu Family is the Aristocratic Li Clan of Xiongcheng City.
Sooner or later, Blue Sea’s entertainment market will be dominated by them.
If we want to keep our popularity, we need to latch onto this big tree,” another chimed in.
“Fine, since everyone agrees, then it’s settled–we’ll do it like Young Master Zhu said,” Bai Yuning made up her mind.
“Manager Duan.”
Fu Liuan, the manager responsible for the satellite TV segment, came over and said with a smile, “How does it feel, Manager Duan?
Pretty good, right?
These few I’ve hired often participate in variety shows and are absolutely top trendsetters.
Our variety show is already the hottest in South Korea.
Now with them on board, it’s sure to be a national hit, and our satellite TV ratings are bound to soar.”
“Hmm.”
Duan Bin had never really liked these fellows, because their demands were too much, yet their contribution was so little; even for a variety show, they required body doubles.
But, given their immense popularity, he endured it.
Fu Liuan, on the other hand, treated them like royalty, not daring to offend them in any way.
Just the other day, a host at the station accidentally splashed coffee on Bai Yuning and got fired on the spot.
That person had been a valuable part of the station for over a decade, with a very good track record.
When Duan Bin heard the news, he transferred the host to the drama channel instead.
If such a person were truly fired, that would be their loss.
