Chapter 117 Chatting
Although Kevin was a minor super-rich individual, Boring Surf was a major super-rich individual. In front of someone like Boring Surf, Kevin could only flatter him. Even though Kevin was worth several hundred million, he would never spend two hundred million to tip a streamer.
For someone like Boring Surf, who casually spent two hundred million to tip a streamer, Kevin secretly thought he was a big fool.
However, Kevin just made a brief appearance and then left. Given his status, he couldn't be too active in the live stream chat. Usually, his comments were very concise, but this time, to flatter Boring Surf, he sent a long message.
"Boring Surf, did you see that? This is the owner of our Shark platform, Mr. Parker. He has said you're welcomed to come to the Shark Carnival anytime! I love making friends, so if you're a friend, come find me! Boring Surf, I'll treat you to king crab!" Lucas said, putting on a hospitable demeanor. Of course, he was just saying it casually.
"Yeah, Boring Surf, you're welcomed to come to the Shark Carnival! At the Shark Carnival, there are many beautiful girls and cute boys!" Charles added, "And there are celebrities too!"
Skyview was slightly surprised and thought to himself that Hilda's Shark platform was doing quite well. If it got financial support from Penguin Company, it might really succeed! Just the Shark Carnival event alone showed that the Shark platform was thriving. Even if the Shark platform wasn't profitable and was operating at a loss, this kind of growth potential could attract investors' interest.
Skyview realized that Hilda's Shark livestream was very interesting. If he didn't intervene, Hilda would definitely succeed with the Penguin Company's plan. Once Hilda's Shark livestream became a huge success, the Davis family's influence would greatly increase, directly threatening his position in the Twin Group.
Skyview had initially planned to strike against Hilda, but then he had a whole new idea. He wanted to deliver a fatal blow to the Shark platform! Since Hilda had a bright future, Skyview intended to cut off that future for her!
Determined, Skyview typed: [Are there any celebrities invited to the carnival? What kind of celebrities?]
Charles introduced, "The host is Magnus Thorne."
Skyview asked: [Who is Magnus?]
Charles replied, "Just a host of a show!"
Skyview responded: [No need to mention such minor celebrities!]
Skyview's disdain was justified. In the entertainment industry, celebrities were also ranked.
In Hollywood, it was generally movie stars > TV stars ≈ singers > reality show stars > internet celebrities.
Golden Valley also followed the hierarchy of movie stars > TV stars = singers > variety show stars > internet celebrities.
For example, Shark's Angel was currently trying to elevate her status, striving to transition from an internet celebrity to a variety show star.
However, the rules in Golden Valley were different from Hollywood. Even top movie stars frequently appeared on variety shows without feeling embarrassed.
Someone like Magnus was barely qualified as a variety show star. Among hosts, he was just one of the main hosts of a few shows.
If Shark really had money, they would invite Quinlan Ashford instead of Magnus.
"Magnus isn't good enough for you, indeed." Lucas thought for a moment and said, "But there are other celebrities at the Shark Carnival!"
Skyview asked: [What other celebrities are there?]
Lucas replied, "Thaddeus Cross."
Skyview asked, "Who is that?"
Lucas replied, "A lead actor in a movie. Although it's not a major blockbuster, it did have a box office of three hundred million. So, he is a moderately well-known star."
