Chapter 869 A World Wide Show
AJ Entertainment was one of the up-and-coming entertainment industries, leading the world in new stars. They focused on influencers of all sorts, amateur actors, singers, idols, and more.
They were breaking into the industry, transitioning those popular on new media types and bringing them into the light of traditional media, helping them grow. What many people didn’t know was the fact that the Howlers owned the majority shares in AJ Entertainment.
In the past, it was an equal split, but after what had occurred within the company, now the Howlers were the majority shareholders. However, Ash, the director of AJ Entertainment, was still running things.
He was impressed with what the Howlers did. They didn’t just become the majority shareholder to take a slice of the profits, but also invested heavily to improve their programs that they would run, broadcasts, and more. They were becoming a big name.
However, when the battle between the Phoenix Gang and the Howlers had begun, AJ Entertainment was hit hard. In this industry, it relied heavily on contacts.
Several contracts that were in place with their stars were being canceled, business was being affected massively with no answer or reason as to why this was happening.
Still, Ash knew the truth; he had heard what was happening from Kai and was told that it would be a rough ride for a while but to hold on as long as possible.
Currently, Ash was sitting at his desk staring at his computer. His eyebrows were furrowed as he looked at the screen and continued clicking away.
‘The staff are panicking from within slightly, as well as some of our stars. They have threatened to try to break the contracts with us because of the situation that is happening.’
Raising his fingers, Ash started to push against his nose. “I know, I know, I’ve been trying to come up with something all day, but I don’t know what to do.”
That’s when Clem gave off a big smile. “I have a plan... didn’t we have a live streaming platform in the works for our own stars at the moment?”
“We do... but no one knows about it,” Ash replied. “If we broadcasted on that, we wouldn’t have anyone watching either, and we can’t even pay our staff, never mind push for advertising.”
“That’s fine, for now, we just need a big push,” Clem said. “I’ll be the first on our AJ live-streaming app. Get all of the stars in AJ Entertainment to push with a link to follow me. Use all the platforms out there to follow me on AJ live-streaming. I’ll do the same as well.
“We won’t post anything about what’s happening in Slough, just telling them to follow me. They might find out about what we’re doing eventually and shut them down, but by then enough people will have seen what was happening, and the word will start to spread.”
Ash didn’t think it was a bad idea. Certainly, with all their stars' presence, they could reach at least 100,000 viewers. Their services could handle the load, especially if it was just one streamer.
However, would they just listen to Clem talking about what was happening in Slough? No, they needed to do more; the backlash against the Phoenix Gang needed to be bigger.
“I’ll send the order to all our staff to tell our stars to do as you said. I’ll get a link set up. As for us two, I’ll tell them to get the helicopter ready.”
“Helicopter?” Clem gulped.
“Yeah, we're going to Slough, and going to show the whole world what is happening,” Ash said with a clenched fist.
