Chapter 117
Sylvia didn’t notice his off expression and continued speaking. “Exactly! From our perspective, this is the cheapest type of entertainment company. There’s no need to train top-tier celebrities, yet they still take half of the profits.”
She added, “And the best part is, the artists still think the platform gave them a chance. That kind of mindset is genius.”
Even someone like her, who held a strong position in the entertainment industry, was tempted, let alone all those aspiring nobodies dreaming of fame and fortune.
This was practically a money-printing machine.
Trevor didn’t say anything, but his expression changed slightly. He clearly understood that if Aubree succeeded, she’d become a notable figure in Rithol City.
But he still looked down on Aubree. He didn’t believe she was capable.
“It’s just child’s play,” Trevor scoffed.
However, Sylvia disagreed. “Great minds often emerge young. Weren’t you famous when you were young too? Aubree might be young, but her idea already sets her apart. Times are changing. I think what she’s doing could reshape the whole industry.”
She added, “And even if she fails now, she’ll probably achieve something big in the future.”
Seeing Sylvia’s admiring expression, Trevor felt nothing but contempt. He thought Aubree had no way to be successful.
He thought Aubree probably used the prize money from her previous competitions to start this company.
Once she burned through that money, she’d likely have no choice but to crawl back home, begging for help.
All this arrogance in front of her brothers was probably just a ploy to make them regret favoring Carmen.
Just as scheming as ever, Trevor sneered inwardly.
Trevor didn’t say anything more to Sylvia. Kind advice can’t save someone doomed to fail. Instead of wasting time talking here, he might as well get his own studio’s PR team ready in advance.
Aubree had been running herself ragged these days.
Her team was even more enthusiastic than she expected. The testing phase finished two days ahead of schedule. As soon as the app launched, Turner Group aggressively promoted Playzy online, flooding the internet with ads.
Sylvia reposted on Twitter, announcing her official move to Playzy and inviting fans to join her for chats and games.
Even God’s Fury announced its members were signing with Playzy, and they would be doing a live broadcast of League of Legends on the platform that very night.
Whether out of curiosity or love for their idols, Playzy rocketed into the top three of the app store on its first day.
That evening, Aubree stayed at the company, watching the real-time fluctuations of the user data alongside her core developers.
“It’s still climbing!”
“At this rate, we’ll be number one by tomorrow.”
“Ms. Miller, you’re amazing! Getting Turner Group as a sponsor was a power move. The promotion is outclassing everything else out there right now!”
Aubree looked at the ever-rising red line on the screen and smiled. “I’ll give an extra bonus to everyone as a celebration.”
She added, “Also, get the streamers we recruited ready. Looks like we can go live starting tomorrow.”
If the platform wanted to operate long-term, traffic was key. But aside from viewers, quality streamers were equally important.
Drawing from her experience, Aubree had already reached out in advance to those who had gone viral when streaming platforms first boomed. She’d have them start broadcasting to seed various content niches.
It was like a manual, showing aspiring creators what was possible.
“Ms. Miller, a lot of gaming clubs just messaged me asking about signing deals,” her secretary, Vincent Sloan, said as he approached with his phone. His usually pale face was flushed with excitement.
Vincent had just graduated with a degree in finance. Initially, when Turner Group declined to refer him elsewhere and instead sent him to Aubree, he had low expectations. He thought a teenage girl starting a company was ridiculous.
He took the job thinking he could cozy up to her and maybe get into Turner Group through the back door. But the more he worked with Aubree, the more he realized how much potential Bree Technology had.
