SON-IN-LAW GETS AN UPGRADE - Season 5 Episode 41

Peggy thought about it for a moment. “Well, Nebula City is a second–rate city that is also out of the way. I don’t think Harvey has any dealings with them.”

“Besides, Four Seas Corporation doesn’t adopt the business model of a traditional entertainment company. They have a complete chain of service, from scriptwriters to directors and even actors–they have it all. That means, if they wanted to produce a movie, they wouldn’t need to partner with too many companies. They wouldn’t even need to cooperate with a film studio. I don’t think they’d take Harvey’s threat seriously.”

Jolene nodded. Peggy paused before continuing. “Do you remember the movie Flair of the City?”

Jolene bobbed her head in agreement. “I do. That movie only made half a million at the box office. It was barely a pass.”

Peggy shook her head. “Flair of the City may have only made half a billion at the box office, but based on what I know, that same movie made a profit of two billion when it was streaming on Volcano Videos. That’s how crazy the effect of Volcano Videos is. It also proves that Four Seas Corporation doesn’t need the help of cinemas to sell their own movies, and their movies may make even more than they would if they premiere the movies themselves. That’s why I’m going to bet that the only entertainment company in the country that can safely ignore Harvey and his entertainment company is Four Seas Corporation.”.

Jolene was truly moved by Peggy’s words as she felt a sense of hope and a burning passion replacing the hatred in her heart.

Peggy smiled. “By the way, have you heard about the large–scale variety show that went viral across the internet, the Galaxy Girls? From what I’ve heard, it has received good ratings, and everyone is anxiously waiting for the next episode. Once the new episode is released, it’s going to trend all over the internet with their publicity.”

Jolene nodded in agreement. She had seen the promotional videos of the variety show and knew for a fact that many netizens enjoyed it. Even a good number of fans had left comments on her social media account, lamenting that it was a pity she was not a part of Galaxy Girls. While Jolene looked unfazed on the surface at that time, she did feel a prickle of regret when she looked back at it.

Peggy said, “The show is produced by Four Seas Corporation, but I heard they ran into some problems. The main actress jumped ship mid–production, and they were forced to cancel the filming. I heard that they’re still looking for a suitable replacement. If you go, you may very well be the best choice.”

“Do you really think they’ll sign me up?” Jolene asked eagerly, feeling the newfound hope in her heart soar to greater heights. Her eyes were shining brilliantly.

She was truly attracted to the idea of being the next Galaxy Girl. If she managed to join a large–scale variety show just after signing an agreement with a whole new entertainment company, it would be the biggest slap on Harvey’s face.

Peggy gave her an affirming smile. “I think they will. You are the top trending celebrity of the year, after all. You already have a sizeable fanbase supporting you. Not to mention that Four Seas Corporation has already invested so much money into expanding its viewer base. Just mark my words, if you even hint to them that you’re interested in joining their company, I’ll bet you won’t even have to approach them personally. They’ll probably take the initiative to contact you themselves and beg you to join them.”

Jolene felt the dark clouds that had been shrouding her heart for the past few days clear up. “All right, Peggy. I’ve decided that I’m going to cooperate with the Four Seas Corporation!”

“Okay.” Peggy nodded in satisfaction. “I’m going to announce to the public that we’re willing to cooperate with Four Seas Corporation. I’m sure it won’t even be two days before they contact us.”

Jolene paused to consider her suggestion. In the end, she shook her head. “I think we should keep the news private first. If Harvey catches wind of us trying to join Four Seas Corporation, he might create trouble for us before we can even do anything. Four Seas Corporation may have enough power to ignore Harvey’s threats, but it doesn’t mean that they’re willing to become open enemies with him. We’ll lose any advantage we have then.”

Seeing the logic in Jolene’s statement, Peggy dipped her head in agreement. “Very well. I’ll contact Four Seas Corporation first then, Jolene.”

Even as she spoke, she was pulling her phone out to call the company. As Peggy had predicted, when Four Seas Corporation learned that Jolene was willing to join their company, they were delighted. They quickly asked when Jolene was going to arrive at Nebula City, so they could arrange a welcoming party.

Jolene was beyond ecstatic at the news. Just thinking about how she was going to be the new female lead for Galaxy Girls made her feel overwhelmingly excited.

Suddenly, Jolene felt that being boycotted by her former company was not so bad after all. If she were not blacklisted, she would never discover the silver lining that would lead her to join Four Seas Corporation.
