Chapter 294: Chapter 294 The Dialogues Between Two People
Although it was certainly not a good thing to be isolated, it wasn’t all just bad things. For example, no spies had been sent to the studio to cause any troubles during the shooting by any management companies. The shooting went very smoothly.
They did not even bother to make trouble, so Zhou Yu could imagine how determined they wanted to isolate Luhua village.
During the shooting, except for some scenes that required the s.p.a.cecraft to fly, Zhou Yu was mostly idle, so he chatted with Xia Huan when he had nothing to do.
Soon after the cooperation began, Xia Huan once again received an official warning from Starlight City, with a strong tone that this was the final warning, and even threatened to revoke Xia Huan’s agent license. This made Xia Huan very sad and strengthened his determination to leave Starlight City.
“Old Zhou, we are on the same boat now, I don’t know what plans do you have for Luhua city? I remember that you don’t want to expand your territory, right?”
“Well, whenever I leave Luhua city I feel very lost, so it is useless to have so many territories.”
“Then it will be a problem. Management companies need audiences to survive. If you don’t expand, you won’t have enough residents. In addition to the two idols in my company, there are seven idols in Luhua City. With the scale of Luhua City and the regular concerts of the building of wonder, you can maintain what you have now, but if you add new idols in the future, what are you going to do?”
Idols lived on popularity. The total population of Luhua City could support up to ten idols. Now that he had seven idols in total, it had already reached the warning line. Unless he stopped planting more idols in the future. Otherwise, once he exceeds the limit, the idols in Luhua city may become an has-been idols due to the loss of popularity. Not only would their abilities plummet, but they might even give up on themselves completely and then embark on a path of no return.
Zhou Yu actually had never thought about this.
Although idols were hard to come by, at the current level, he may exceed the limit in at most one year, and if the total population of Luhua City remained the same, the disaster would be bound to happen.
“So, are there any other ways to increase popularity? For example, create another building of wonder? ”
Facing Zhou Yu’s doubts, Xia Huan also couldn’t find a way for a while. He frowned while walking back and forth a few times. Then he suddenly said, “how can I forget this! Old Zhou, you don’t have to expand your territory, but you have to find a way to build an TV station as soon as possible! ”
What the h.e.l.l, a TV station?
Zhou Yu was really taken aback. Could he even build a TV station? How does a TV station operate in the ACG world? Probably the investment would be much higher. Moreover, he would also have to compete with TV stations such as Starlight TV station and the fallen TV station. According to Xia Huan’s previous statement, in the ACG world, almost all the market was occupied by these two major TV stations, and the other few TV stations were barely able to survive. What if the TV station project still failed in the end?
Then Xia Huan continued, “Yes, it is the TV station. Not only can it bring extra popularity, but it can also generate some income, but it is more troublesome to build. The building plan is a must, and then a permit is also required, and finally you need to have at least one psychoelectric person to transmit signals.”
It was indeed really troublesome. He was not familiar with anything Xia Huan said, so these were definitely rare items. And the places that could build TV stations were basically big kingdom or metropolitan-level cities, and its construction difficulty was no less difficult than the building of wonder.
Moreover, after the building of wonder was built, it only needed a little daily maintenance, and a professional maintenance team could easily do it, but the TV station was different. First of all, he had to have enough programs and all kinds of talents. Even if Xia Huan’s Beidou company joined Luhua city, there were still many things missing.
Even if he had everything, he must make a contract with the nearby cities to receive the signals. The signal of the psychoelectric person had a distance limit. If he wanted to send the signal further away, he needed to buy land in other cities to build a relay tower, and there must also be a psychoelectric person permanently stationed there, which would also cost money.
After thinking about it, Zhou Yu believed that it could be done, but it would not be done within a year.
However, unless Zhou Yu gave up his non-expansion policy, building a TV station was the only way out for Luhua City. Now that Starlight City and Fallen City have isolated Luhua City, if he started to expand his territory, it would be almost similar to dig his own grave.
Helplessly, Zhou Yu could only say, “we need to stop thinking about building a TV station at the moment, it is not realistic with the current situation of Luhua city. Once Beidou left Starlight City, we would not even have a place to hire extra actors, so I want to set up a wandering idol guild and let these wandering idols become our temporary combat power in the future.”
This wandering idol guild was not a functional building, but something Zhou Yu himself wanted to create, which meant that it would be a brand new building.
For homeless idols, it seemed not bad to have an organization to help them find work. But there was a problem, that was would the wandering idol guild created by Luhua City really be able to get any work for those idols? This required a large intelligence network to be laid out, even if all the flying bird knights of the Sky Knight Academy were sent out, it would probably still be insufficient.
Therefore, Xia Huan expressed his doubts about Zhou Yu’s proposal, although he was very interested in the Wandering Idol Guild.
Zhou Yu continued, “how about this, we don’t have to create a guild at the beginning. We can just let the wandering idols leave their contact methods to each other, recommend each other when they have work, and slowly form a community where people will help each other. When the time is right, we will unite them to form a guild. ”
“Then how do you know that they will not form a guild by themselves? And what is the contact method you are talking about? Only agents have the contact methods given by Starlight City, and the average person normally wouldn’t have this kind of method.”
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu took out an object from the storehouse and said proudly, “With this thing, I’ll be the Mark Zuckerberg of the ACG world!”
What Zhou Yu took out was a treasure called “the celestial vision” that he recently got from the chubby dragon prince’s treasure bowl. Its shape was like an eyeball, shining a strange red light. Every day it would consume fifty Moe Coins, and then it would produce ten blank cards. Using these small business-card-like cards, people could log in with their own information, and then have a conversation with other cardholders.
It was a convenient communication tool.
However, it had a disadvantage. It was that it could only spit out one thousand business cards at most, which meant that the guild founded by Zhou Yu could only have one thousand people at most.
However, Xia Huan felt that this number was not bad, and this thing seemed feasible.
