Chapter 627 Affinity
As the lights came on, the overall outline of Olinde was clearly and charmingly outlined.
There are a lot of tall buildings in this city. If the hotel where Lu Wantang stayed was on a slightly lower floor, his view might be blocked.
The feeling of looking down on all the mountains at this moment made her feel as if she was facing a magnificent painting.
The glass curtain wall in front of you reflects the colorful surroundings, like countless mirrors, constantly interweaving and overlapping the prosperity and brilliance of the city, presenting a feeling of both reality and illusion.
Lu Wantang quickly withdrew his gaze.
Transferred to the rewards given by the system.
"What is 'Friendship'? I've never seen this type of reward before."
"'Friendliness' can be understood as affinity," Liu Liu explained. "This will make you initially more favorable in the eyes of the people of Xizhou than others, but how much higher depends on the score."
"If someone from Western Continent is very hostile to people from other Continents, then their initial favorable impression of you and Tangxing Entertainment won't increase much. If someone is only slightly hostile, then their favorable impression of you and Tangxing Entertainment will be a little better."
Lu Wantang nodded slightly: "I understand... I thought the reward this time was still a skill upgrade course."
Ten upgrade courses plus passing the system assessment are required to upgrade the skills from advanced to master level, and she is quite in need of rewards in this regard.
“The system will give relevant rewards based on actual conditions.”
"Tangtang, didn't you check the information about Xizhou before? They are particularly exclusive to other continents, aren't they? In this case, even if the music you create is good, they may not accept it."
Even though the two songs sung by Chen Yubai are very popular in Xizhou now, that is because the government cooperated with the promotion and suppressed most of the opposition voices.
When Xizhou announced that it would connect with other continents, at least 80% of the local people disagreed, and some radical people even organized several marches.
Lu Wantang nodded in agreement: "Then this reward is quite practical."
"Of course!" Liuliu's voice became cheerful. "The purpose of the system is to assist Tangtang and make Tangtang's company the best in the entire Blue Star! The problems in Xizhou are more complicated and detrimental to the company's development. It's also for Tangtang's safety."
Throughout the history of Western Continent, wars have continued between regions. Even now, many regions are still hostile to each other, with discrimination between people of different skin colors at the forefront.
The other four continents are all of the same skin color, so they will naturally be excluded by them.
"No wonder we were the first to perform at Olinde Square. Among other companies' considerations, they must have worried about being discriminated against or that things might backfire, right?"
"Yeah." Liu Liu nodded his head. "Maybe they don't know that Olinde is the most tolerant place in Xizhou because people from many regions gather here."
Even if they knew, those people might not be the first to try it after weighing the pros and cons.
Therefore, Lu Wantang didn’t think that he was getting a bargain.
The next morning, Chang Yun brought information on the branch's location and related conditions near the addresses.
He spread out a detailed map of the city of Olinde on the table.
He circled several areas in the heart of Olinde's city center:
"Logically speaking, these areas are the best locations. Several large local entertainment companies are located here, but the sales and rental prices offered by them are at least three times higher than those of other companies."
Chang Yun raised three fingers and said, "I asked around, and many agents said that this is where the locals of Olinde live, and they have issues with outsiders."
This "outsider" refers to other areas outside the British area, and also refers to other continents.
Lu Wantang hummed and motioned for him to continue.
Chang Yun then pointed to several places he had found and introduced them one by one:
"There are several small entertainment companies here. I heard that there are branches of several companies in South and North Continents, and they will also be arranged in this area."
"This building is newly built and a bit far from the city center, but I've seen it in person and there are already several companies operating inside. The security is very good."
"And over there..."
Lu Wantang pondered over it for a long time, and then remembered that among the rewards drawn from the system wheel, there were already several film and television works with a Xizhou-related background.
She pointed to one of the locations and said, "This is the largest one."
"In addition, we will be recruiting actors and singers from all over Xizhou. The requirements will still follow the company's standards."
Perhaps Lu Wantang's choice was unexpected.
Chang Yun was surprised for a moment and blurted out, "I thought you would choose a place close to the city center. The area here is about the same size as the branches in the north and south continents."
The North and South branches are said to be branches, but in fact they are more like two offices of Tangxing Entertainment, mainly responsible for recruiting employees, external communications, etc.
Chang Yun also thought that Xizhou only needed one "office".
"It's different here." Lu Wantang explained, "Compared to South Continent, North Continent, or Central Continent, West Continent is fundamentally different. If music and film and television want to develop steadily here, they still have to adapt to the local conditions."
Upon hearing this, Chang Yun knew that Lu Wantang had made up his mind to gain a foothold in Xizhou.
Therefore, he did not say anything to spoil the fun like "You don't have to develop in Xizhou", but just nodded and fulfilled his duties as an assistant.
Lu Wantang and Chang Yun only stayed in Xizhou for three days. After the staff arranged by the company and the agent arranged for Chen Yubai arrived, the two returned to Dongzhou.
The video of Chen Yubai's performance at Olinde Plaza is also very popular in Dongzhou.
Even after three days, Lu Wantang could still hear bits and pieces of conversation from passersby along the way.
However, some of the nonsensical rumors that came with it are really hilarious.
For example, Chen Yubai's performance may very well mean that Tangxing Entertainment will soon focus on development in Xizhou.
The spread of such unfounded news may not have any impact on Tangxing Company.
But the fact that Xizhou is xenophobic does not mean that the three continents of the east, south and north do not exclude Xizhou.
Chen Yubai's street performance in Olinde won a lot of applause. Even though he did not lower his attitude and always maintained an attitude of "equal communication" and expressed the idea that "we are friends", he was accused by many people of "fawning on foreigners".
In this regard, Tangxing's public relations team can only "deal with it coldly".
Once you argue for your reasons, people will accuse you of being guilty.
But the "cold treatment" also has a time limit, and the company will have to come forward and make its position clear sooner or later.
At that time, you cannot lean towards either side, and it will be difficult to grasp the right degree.
"Will you hold a press conference?" Chang Yun asked, "Or will you release one or two new songs?"
"Now is a critical period for cooperation among the four continents. Holding a press conference could easily put us on the defensive and give rise to ulterior motives..."
Lu Wantang pulled out a folder from the pile on the table and said, "Here's the proof."
