Pirates began to dominate the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 171 Debut List Ranking Revealed

"I think we should make contact. If Huayi Brothers weren't able to go public and make money, we wouldn't have this opportunity at any other time." Huo Wenxi found a stool, sat down next to Ji Yun, and looked up at him to see what he meant.

She wasn't sure what Huayi Brothers would become in the future, but as a leading film and television company, doubling or tripling its value was definitely achievable, maybe even 2-3 times.

Trading a few girls for a billion dollars in artist contracts is quite a good deal.

Ji Yun didn't speak, but touched Huo Wenxi's hair and fell into thought.

Actually, those girls are quite valuable too. Dilraba alone, a workaholic who works year-round, will likely have dozens of commercial endorsements and earn hundreds of millions annually. She's made a fortune for Jaywalk Studio. Not to mention Bai Lu, a top-tier actress in both film and variety shows, and Li Yitong and Yang Ying will also be earning money in the future...

So, 19 billion doesn't seem like a lot, especially since it would take seven years to fully realize its value.

Ji Yun turned to look at the television screen.

The room fell silent, with only the lively sound of the television broadcasting live.

In the video, 18 girls huddle together, awaiting their impending verdict.

His face showed a mix of naivety, confusion, anticipation, and nervousness.

After the competition ended, the 18 contestants returned to the center of the stage.

Xie Nan and Liu Yan walked onto the stage, one in black and one in white, one capable and the other gentle. Their images seemed to reflect the show itself, which featured both fierce competition and warm companionship.

Xie Nan, wearing ten-centimeter stilettos, strode out from the side of the stage with a smile on her face and a slight, barely suppressed tremor in her voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the exciting moment has arrived!"

Liu Yan continued, "Tonight, nine girls will stand out from these 18 outstanding contestants to become the debut girl group of the first season of 'Produce 101'!"

The audience erupted in screams.

"Are you nervous?" Xie Nan asked the girls on stage, raising the microphone.

Bai Lu nodded frantically, while Zhang Tianai next to her was so nervous she could barely stand.

"Me too." Xie Nan grinned and looked around the room.

"Because, next up... is the last segment of the night."

Her voice was slow and deliberate, building up the anticipation.

"Data will be collected in one minute, and the debut lineup will be revealed then."

The entire room fell silent.

Eighteen girls stood in the center of the stage, holding hands. Some were trembling, some had their heads down, and some were looking up at the night sky.

Bai Lu held Li Yitong's hand tightly, her palms sweaty.

A countdown appeared on the big screen.

10, 9, 8, 7...

8 people inside the stadium chanted along.
