846. TB Company’s Dilemma

Tang Wen returned to the living room after making a phone call. At this time, Xiao Wang and Qin Feng were watching the program on TV boredly. When Tang Wen came back, Xiao Wang pointed at the TV and said with a smile: "Old Tang, it looks like TB Company I can’t last much longer.”

"What happened to them?" Tang Wen returned to his seat and said with his legs crossed.

Qin Feng shook his head and said, "I committed suicide by myself."

"No, no one is so stingy. It's no wonder he's being poached." Xiao Wang said with a smile.

"Uh? What's going on?" Tang Wen was stunned for a moment, but he still hadn't realized what was going on.

Classmate Xiao Wang pointed at the TV and said: "No, the Jade TV station and the HA TV station are now crazy about poaching people from TB Company. It is said that many middle-level people have been poached."

"Is there such a thing?" Tang Wen was a little confused when he heard it. He didn't expect that TB Company would be frantically poaching people from the other two TV stations. This was something he didn't expect.

Currently, the only private TV stations in Xiangjiang are TB, Jade, and HA TV Station, which was established recently. In terms of strength, the previous TB can be said to have crushed the other two.

Jade Channel has always relied on the novels of Long Aotian from Baodao to make a living behind TB TV station, while HA TV station, which was established recently, mainly relies on some "midnight" content to attract some "salty guys" "Yes.

But now the situation has quickly reversed. Jade Channel and HA TV Station have begun to frantically poach people from TB Company. Perhaps knowing that TB Company has no "sponsor" now, poaching people is particularly smooth.

"That won't be like this? Doesn't TB Company still have an artist department? With so many artists on hand, TB Company will not give up easily." Tang Wen asked.

Qin Feng said with a smile: "The current situation is that all the people below have been poached. Naturally, TB Company will not keep so many useless people in vain. Now it can only lay off employees."

"That's right, they have no other solution now except layoffs, but this has turned into a vicious cycle." Xiao Wang gloated.

Tang Wen said with some confusion: "Even if they don't have sponsors, can't they still promote it on their own TV station? Besides, doesn't Uncle Liu have a theater chain?"

"Haha, Old Tang, you are so funny. What theater chain is enough in a small place like Xiangjiang? You can't even recoup the cost of investing tens of millions in a movie here. As for selling TV series to TV stations? Haha, that's a bad TV station. There is no popularity, and the sponsors are not fools. This is a vicious cycle." Xiao Wang also has a theater chain at home, so he understands this relatively well.

Point-and-shooting pointed out the current predicament of TB Company.

At this point, Tang Wen just remembered that Xiangjiang is, after all, a "small place" with a population of just over 7 million. It is basically impossible to absorb such a large "investment" in movies or TV series by relying solely on the local area.

Therefore, most of the previous TBs sold some finished products to places such as Southeast Asia, Bangzi Country, Xinguo, and Neon Country to make extra money, but it is different now.

Nowadays, these countries basically have their own "special skills", and the content they produce is no worse than that of TB Company, so the era of chasing TB Company's movies and TV series has passed.

Especially after the recent Xiangjiang Weekly united many local big names to start a "boycott" against TB's artists, the salaries of TB's artists suddenly fell to the bottom.

In the past, some small artists could still make money by cheating, but now they are reduced to competing with models from Ulan and Alama for jobs.

In addition to Li Xiangtian's previous commotion, many artists went on strike and began to "make a living on their own." After all, they would have been starved to death by the time TB Company started working.

So we have the current situation. On the one hand, the personnel at TB Company have never been in place, and the artists below have nothing to film. On the other hand, there is no endorsement income.

For a time, many artists had to start developing their own "side businesses" to make a living. The nearby Jade TV station and HA TV station noticed this and started poaching TB companies like crazy.

Especially since they didn't start poaching "artists" at the beginning, but instead started poaching some screenwriters and "handymen" from TB Company, this is very puzzling.

After the people at TB Company reacted, they were surprised to find that TB Company today couldn't find anyone even if they wanted to film a TV series. They either lacked lights or lacked props.

Even the most basic field services have been poached by HA TV station and Jade TV station. The two TV stations even set up a "performing arts" school imitating TB company, which is like robbing people alive.

"Didn't you say that Uncle Liu is good friends with Mr. Zhang from Jade Channel and Mr. Cai from HA TV station? Why are you so ruthless in poaching people now?" Tang Wen couldn't laugh or cry.

Qin Feng replied with a smile at this time: "Old Tang, that is an old thing before. Now the artists of TB company have almost no endorsements in Hong Kong. If HA TV station and Jade TV station don't take action at this time, then what will happen? I really got kicked in the head."

"What Lao Qin said is right, and HA TV station is said to have hooked up with the Zhou family. Now movies and TV series can be brought to the mainland of China through the Zhou family. As for the Jade TV station, it is said that it is through the Jiang family. If you come forward from home, you can go directly to the Imperial Capital." Xiao Wang said smoothly.

When Tang Wen said this, he understood that it turned out that TB Company's "poisoning" was too big this time, so people around him started poaching. After all, TB TV station had praised many of its peers before, and they started to do this. There was no trace of kindness left in the time, maybe this is the retribution of this world.

"TB Company can't just sit there and wait for death, right? They still have contracts with so many artists? Even if Jade Channel and HA want to poach them, it won't be easy." Tang Wen shook his head and said.

Classmate Xiao Wang said with a bad smile: "Old Tang, you don't know the rules here. Think about how HA TV station and Jade Channel have poached all the people under TB Company. Those artists can't start working. Eating empty wages, do you think TB Company will let these people eat empty wages?"

Tang Wen couldn't laugh or cry and said: "You mean HA TV and Jade Channel did it on purpose?"

"That's for sure. They are probably waiting for the people in TB Company to "lay off" themselves. Then they can sign a large number of people at cabbage prices." Xiao Wang said with a confident look.

"Tsk, tsk, that's interesting." Tang Wen said, touching his chin.
