Chapter 374: Universal Entertainment can’t sit still anymore
There are so many entertainment companies competing for these players.
In fact, it is a happy thing for both Lin Xia and these players.
After all, the more entertainment companies compete, the higher the benefits these players can get from signing contracts in the future, and the higher the conditions for signing contracts in the future.
For these players, the conditions for their signing are good, which will naturally be of great benefit to their future development.
It can also encourage the company to put more effort into them.
For Lin Xia and the program team, these players can show such high value, which naturally reflects how important this program is.
Nowadays, it can be said that the most competitive and the first to come to these players are these two entertainment companies.
The two entertainment companies that have the best chance of signing these players are the two entertainment companies.
Lin Xia and the program team have basically acquiesced that these contestants will most likely be snatched away by these two companies.
However, Lin Xia will be happier with whoever can win these players from these two entertainment companies. It can be considered a good ending for these players to enter these two big companies.
Even Mango Entertainment's current market value in China may be higher than that of Lin Xia's company.
Of course, this is just because they have been developing in China for too long.
If we talk about current growth trends and global influence, Mango Entertainment has no way to compare with Lin Xia's company.
Currently, Lin Xia's company is the entertainment company with the strongest momentum of development in the world and is also recognized as one of the future entertainment giants.
At present, no company in China can rival Lin Xia's company in terms of development momentum.
If these players are signed by Mango Entertainment, perhaps Mango Entertainment will be able to develop on a global scale in the future.
At that time, he can also become an ally of Lin Xia Company.
But what Lin Xia didn't expect was that when these two companies were competing, and when these two companies were just about to take action, several players had already announced that they had successfully signed the contract.
This incident actually made Lin Xia and the two entertainment companies somewhat unexpected.
You know, they are almost the first company to have access to these players.
But these players will actually be signed by other companies.
Moreover, these players were very willing to be signed. The other company seemed to have paid a high price to make these players willing to be signed.
For these contestants, after this show ends, it is basically expected that they will be signed by some big entertainment companies in the future.
Therefore, the company signing with them will definitely not be a small company.
Lin Xia and these two companies are very clear about this.
And the company that can directly sign these contestants without any sound is bound to be a company that cares very much about this show. And on a global scale, companies that have this ability are also very concerned about the entertainment of this show.
There are only a few companies.
Moreover, after all, these are all players who have competed together.
So after a simple investigation, the entertainment company also knew which entertainment company signed those players.
After getting this answer, the two entertainment companies could only smile.
There is no way. The entertainment companies that signed contracts with these players are indeed a bit too powerful. Even if they know that the other party has intercepted them, there is nothing they can do.
We can only try and contact the remaining contestants who have been selected.
At this time, Lin Xia, after seeing the message sent to her by Mango Entertainment, could only secretly sigh at the shamelessness of Universal Entertainment.
Yes, the company that signed these players is Universal Entertainment.
