Lin Xiaoxiao didn't care about the irreconcilable grudges between the two platforms.
She's busy sabotaging both platforms.
After Lin Xiaoxiao was blacklisted by M platform, she offended the crown prince of Y platform, which led to no TV station daring to take on the fantasy drama "Asking the Heavens".
Adhering to the principle of never letting anyone strangle her, Lin Xiaoxiao, with the help of a naval colonel, contacted the main television station and finally officially established Penglai Satellite TV on the leased Penglai Island.
Of course, Lin Xiaoxiao needs to shoot a ten-year propaganda film for the military, be on call at any time, and at the same time take over the 151 employees of a film studio that is about to go bankrupt, most of whom are illustrators in their forties and fifties.
Because the market has now become dominated by computers and 3D animation, these film studios that only knew hand-drawn animation failed to reform in this transformation. All the young employees have left, leaving only some old employees who dedicated their youth to the film studios, who, along with the old generation, were washed ashore and are waiting for a slow death.
There are conditions after taking over: the social security, housing provident fund and welfare benefits of all employees cannot be reduced, and these people must be guaranteed to be supported until retirement. Unless they leave on their own, none of them can be laid off.
Previously, some companies wanted to acquire the film studio, but due to the stringent conditions and the fact that all the copyrights to the film studio's hit movies from years ago were gone, it was as if they were just taking over the film studio, which only had older employees and a film distribution company, and nothing else.
So all the investors ran away; nobody wanted to be the sucker.
The TV station was initially worried about what to do with its employees, as it was an old state-owned enterprise and the staff had all joined at a young age. However, the monthly income was insufficient to cover expenses, and continuously subsidizing them was not a sustainable solution. Fortunately, Feiyang Entertainment was looking to establish a TV station, so the entire project was packaged and given to Feiyang Entertainment.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't care about any of this anymore. There were plenty of employees at Feiyang Entertainment who earned more than these people, so they didn't need 151 more. After all, she was just herding one sheep or a whole flock.
But with a TV station, things are different. Feiyang Entertainment is no longer subject to others. Unlike other companies that have a constant influx of funds from another industry, Feiyang Entertainment cannot afford such a protracted, money-burning approach.
Lin Xiaoxiao's political lessons before her transmigration taught her that it's better to be strong than to bow down and be controlled by others. Rules are in the hands of the strong, and political power comes from the barrel of a gun.
Therefore, Lin Xiaoxiao was determined to establish her own television station and gain control of the narrative, no matter the cost.
Moreover, the television station's first attack was aimed directly at two veteran figures in the film and television industry.
"Director Lin, don't worry, we've already collected the information."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the paparazzi Qian Duo, who had been freeloading during the filming of "Asking the Heavens," and the older Lei Yong.
"The information is absolutely genuine."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, "You and the other brothers have already completed the onboarding process, right?"
Qian Duo and Lei Yong both nodded.
Lei Yong's face was filled with emotion. "My wife was overjoyed when she found out I had a stable job as a legitimate journalist. She stayed on the island with my daughter until the start of the school term before going home."
Qian Duo was also fired up, saying, "I've wanted to expose these capitalists' dirty secrets for a long time. Director Lin, just you wait and see."
Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "Let's release the information from the M platform first, and wait for the information from the Y platform."
Lin Xiaoxiao considered Y platform's current behavior of stepping on M platform's mess, and her recent partnership with Y platform. She figured that if Y platform released this bombshell about M platform now, they would definitely seize the opportunity to fan the flames.
Then her show and the TV station can take advantage of this opportunity to appear in the public eye.
Qian Duo and Lei Yong didn't think much of it and immediately nodded. After all, they had come to cause trouble, but Director Lin had given them food. Now, their salaries and benefits were the same as other newly hired employees of Feiyang Entertainment. They had no other thoughts and wished they could serve Director Lin like slaves.
"These past few days, the TV station has been broadcasting news and other dramas from Feiyang Entertainment. Your program, 'Entertainment Explosion,' is scheduled for Friday nights at 8 PM, and it's half an hour long. You two should wear masks, come up here and start by stating some rumors, then..."
While the M and Y platforms were battling it out online, "Entertainment Boom Boom Boom" officially premiered on Penglai TV and Feiyang Video platform.
"Who is real and who is fake? We'll say what others dare not say. Hello everyone, welcome to 'Entertainment Explosion'."
"Today, we're going to debunk the rumors surrounding a certain M platform's talent show—was there any manipulation in the voting?
"First, let's look at a set of comments. In the discussion of a talent show on a certain M platform, there have been multiple mentions of discrepancies between the number of votes and the amount of money raised by fans. Based on this, our undercover reporter launched an investigation. Now, let's welcome our first undercover reporter."
A masked man in black appeared on the big screen. "Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Hei, an undercover reporter. Below is the amount of money I collected from various fan groups. As you can see, we've infiltrated the core fan circles during our infiltration, so this data is very reliable."
The reporter on site switched back to the scene, posted the evidence on the whiteboard, and then questioned other undercover reporters. Finally, just over ten minutes before the program was about to end, the reporter finished speaking.
"So, was there any rigging in this talent show on a certain M platform? Was there any manipulation in the voting? This news—is true!"
Another masked man in black affixed a large bomb symbol to a pile of evidence listed on a whiteboard.
