Chapter 1311: Chapter 1310: Naming Rights
"They are very experienced, so you don’t need to worry about anyone causing you trouble."
Severa explained with a smile.
In fact, large families and major consortiums all have specialized personnel to handle such matters.
The person responsible for these things by Severa’s side is the head maid who personally protects her.
Lynch glanced at the maid’s plump thighs, and after she glared at him, he quickly looked away, acting as if nothing had happened.
The head maid possesses very seasoned combat experience and a formidable physique. She looks quite attractive, with a good figure, having a lethal appeal to men.
However, in reality, she is lethal to life as well!
The biggest difference between Austin and her lies in some of the details. Austin’s physique is somewhat more "robust", giving off a "rough and heavy-handed" vibe.
Of course, this doesn’t mean her physical structure is different from ordinary girls, but her skin is very coarse, with various calluses on her hands.
To wait for these calluses to naturally wear off... it could take a long time.
Being held by a soft little hand is one thing, but being clamped by pliers is quite another.
Lynch very much admires those powerful thighs, indicating the maid shows excellent abilities rarely seen in ordinary women.
Such people are usually cultivated by major families from an early age. From when they are young, they are exposed to their work and know what to do in various situations they face.
They won’t let trivial matters escalate into major issues!
Just as Severa has a head maid, Lynch has the Green brothers; these are effective hands for handling some difficult-to-manage matters, and they become bearers of certain negative aspects.
Lynch waved his hand, "Let’s talk about cooperation..."
This time, Severa came to the TV station to discuss cooperation.
Lynch’s show has not yet aired, and opinions in society about it are polarized.
Some believe this show will mark the beginning of Lynch’s downfall, while others think it will quickly establish Darkstone Media in the media industry.
In a future full of uncertainty, rather than blindly placing bets, people tend to observe.
Severa is somewhat different from others, at least different from most people. She has a kind of blind trust in Lynch.
Ever since that glimpse through the door crack, she understood not to view Lynch through ordinary perspectives.
Others think it’s difficult for Darkstone Media to take the lead from the start, but she believes this is not a problem at all.
"From everything I’ve seen so far, it’s amazing!", Severa spared no praises, giving the show a very high evaluation.
She finds Lynch captivating. At the very least, she too would be emotionally led by the show’s content.
To achieve this is not easy, especially for someone born into a wealthier reality, at a point beyond the reach of most.
Sometimes, the way she views people or events doesn’t... circle within the general public’s norm.
Whether she admits it or not, she couldn’t truly immerse herself into an ordinary role, and more than ever, she wishes to know what comes next in the show...
This is a successful program, capable of creating a phenomenal impact. Securing important advertising slots would be a great help to Severa’s enterprises.
Lynch did not directly talk about advertising with her but encouraged her to keep watching.
Multiple days of the program have been extremely gripping. Contestants are finally beginning to adapt to the competition staged to stay on and grab the chance at a million-dollar prize.
In the words of an eliminated contestant: "Sometimes we resemble terrifying conspirators, sometimes shameless conspirators, but none of us like upright individuals."
"Betrayal, deceit, conspiracy—these are our weapons. Our sole purpose is to ’survive’!"
"I’m damn grateful to the production team for creating this show, you are... and...," some words were censored, but they didn’t cut the part where the contestant, speaking, made a gesture to the camera that everyone understood.
All contestants participating in this recording might undergo significant mindset transformations; once they leave the show, they’ll perhaps have a deeper understanding of the real world!
On the show’s final day, when it started, the host did not immediately announce the game rules but showed two segments.
The first segment was of the girl who indeed survived to the end!
She was the fastest among the contestants to understand how to "protect" herself. Coupled with some luck, she was one step closer to success.
The screen displayed her current life, and with her consent, the production team brought the most authentic version of her onto the screen.
At night, she wore somewhat eccentric clothes, with heavy makeup on her face, appearing at well-known places.
On the screen, she quickly gained the "appreciation" of a guest, and then the two of them returned to the room at the back.
The voice-over informed everyone that because she was very young, she had more advantages over others for some middle-aged and elderly men.
Under the filming of a professional documentary director, a bleak and despairing life, started with fifteen dollars, revealing society’s scars to people!
The shift from black and white to cold tones, until she finally walked into the show wearing ordinary clothes and transitioned to warm tones and color. The camera finally settled on her calm, youthful face, with a hint of longing for the outside world.
She said, "I want to win, I just want to live with dignity..."
The program started with oppression but carried a hint of hope, and the audience almost suffocated.
Many people had equated this girl with a whore, but at this moment, they realized how shallow their actions and thoughts were.
Empathy is the most magical emotional dispersion; some people even had reddened eyes.
When the girl walked in from the contestant passage in the clothes from the short film’s end, the people spontaneously applauded.
At this moment, no one looked down on her for needing help; people admired her strength and her courage for retaining desire and longing in despair!
The girl seemed quite touched too, continuously shedding tears.
After she took her seat, Harry’s short film began playing on the big screen.
It’s a familiar scene; late at night, Harry stretched his head and gazed out the window that had steel mesh built-in.
With the shaky camera, gang members were fighting at the corner of the street not far away.
A real fight, the faces of those young men under the streetlights and in places not illuminated by light kept switching, sometimes revealed, sometimes hidden in the darkness.
Whenever they stepped out from the darkness, their expressions were slightly different, as if fate were chasing them down, and none could stop, unless...
The gunshots made the camera shake more, two young men were shot under the streetlight, the shooter vanished into the darkness, leaving two young men lying in the small circle of the streetlight, twitching and slowly dying.
Throughout the process, there was no dialogue, and when the camera returned, a family was sitting together.
Harry’s father and brother stood nearest to the door, his mother hugged his sister, while Harry stared at the dark sky outside the window, as if the sky here had never brightened!
During the day, the family worked hard for a living; exhausting and repetitive work made everything quite dangerous.
They ate yellowing food at noon and sat together in front of the TV in the evening.
This was Harry’s similarly desperate life, and also the life of many families.
They longed for change and aspired to embrace a better future.
Wearing brand new clothes, Harry sat shyly in front of the camera, his fingers intertwined, "I don’t want me, my brother, sister, or anyone in the family to die in a street gang conflict just because they got home slightly late from work."
"We live in corners unseen by people, struggling hard to survive, I want to take them and move to a slightly better place."
"I hope they can live more easily, hope my sister doesn’t have to wear my old clothes anymore, I hope her face can have more smiles."
"This might be my only chance in this lifetime, I won’t give up!"
Once again, the audience was shaken by the real calmness, and when Harry walked out of the passage, enthusiastic cheers rang out, they called Harry’s name as if he was their king in the arena...
Sitting on the second floor, Severa glanced at the tranquil Lynch, "You know, right now I want to curse you more than ever."
Lynch smiled, raised his glass without any concern for Severa’s attitude towards him.
She took a deep breath and asked in a slightly negotiating tone, "Can we let them all stay?"
Lynch calmly shook his head, "Deficiency is part of our life, dreams, having one is enough!"
"You’re really cruel!"
Lynch shrugged, "Don’t move yourself just yet, that’s not what we’re supposed to do."
"Their competition is ongoing; before the results come out, why don’t we talk about advertising?"
Severa nodded once, she quickly engaged in work, and this time Lynch showed her something she’d never encountered before.
From the signs hanging in the program hall to the little objects with advertisers’ logos everywhere, Lynch taught Severa another lesson on what it means to "sponsor!"
