<h4>Chapter 169: HP Trailer</h4>
<strong>(3rd Person POV)</strong>
The TVworks had been ying catch up with <strong>Hellfire Channel</strong> since <i>Hellfire Got Talent''s</i> first season ended weeks ago. With their gship show on hiatus, otherworks gradually closed the ratings gap with <strong>Hellfire</strong>.
Then <strong>Hellfire</strong> introduced live broadcast of the football game.
It wouldn''t have been noteworthy if it was just another football match - but this was <i>"Live"</i> broadcasting, something otherworks couldn''t replicate.
Networks across <strong>Horn</strong>, <strong>Morningstar</strong>, and other nations tried countering with popr magic swordsmanship tournaments. While these helped them recover some ground, they still couldn''t match the <strong>Horn Premiere League''s</strong> football broadcasts.
The key factor was simple - TV viewers couldn''t resist the novelty of watching events unfold in real-time.
At <strong>Horn Network</strong> Headquarters - ranked second in <strong>Horn Kingdom</strong> behind only <strong>Hellfire Network</strong> - an emergency meeting convened.
Benjamin Lopez, thework''s chairman, called the meeting to address <strong>Hellfire Network''s</strong> live broadcast capabilities.
"From <strong>Hellfire''s</strong> announcement a few days ago, it became clear how they achieved live broadcasts for both football matches and news segments," Benjamin said, his tone serious. "It''s all due to their new innovation - the <i>''Live Camera.''</i>"
Julian, one of the executives, spoke up. "It''s remarkable how <strong>Hellfire</strong>, which isn''t even primarily an electronicspany, has pushed camera technology so far ahead."
"That''s what frustrates me," another executive interjected. "<strong>Impact</strong>, supposedly the leading camera manufacturer, has be irrelevant. Meanwhile, <strong>Hellfire</strong> revolutionized the industry twice - first with color cameras, and now with live broadcast technology."
Unknown to them, Arthur had adapted the live camera technology from the <i>Dragon Ball</i> world, streamlining its bulky design through magical innovation. By recing conventionalponents with magical alternatives - like substituting analog lighting systems with light-capturing spells - he''d created a morepact and efficient device.
Benjamin massaged his temples. "We can only specte about <strong>Hellfire''s</strong> methods. Their announcement mentioned the live cameras will be avable through <strong>Hellfire Electronics</strong>. It seems the infamous exiled prince has been quietly building a research division for cameras and television technology."
He leaned back in his chair. "Until <strong>Hellfire Electronics</strong> begins distribution, we''re stuck waiting. And we have no idea when these cameras will hit the market. Once again, we''re at <strong>Hellfire''s</strong> mercy."
Thework had no alternatives. They''d hoped copying <strong>Hellfire''s</strong> telenovs and news segments would help close the gap, but the distance between them only seemed to grow wider.
To make matters worse, <strong>Horn Network</strong> and itspetitors realized that even after acquiring live cameras, they''d still need to lease transmission tower ess from <strong>Hellfire Network</strong> for optimal broadcast coverage.
The <strong>Horn Premiere League''s</strong> fifth match on May 13th saw <strong>Hellfire FC</strong> face off against <strong>Inferno United</strong>, driving <strong>Hellfire Network''s</strong> ratings to new heights across <strong>Anatolia</strong>.
Even in regions where the live broadcast suffered from weak signals or dys, viewers remained captivated as football''s poprity steadily grew.
ording to the <i>Pendragon Survey</i>, <strong>Hellfire FC</strong> had emerged as the league''s most popr team, their dominant victory over <strong>Inferno United</strong> only cementing their position at the top.
The following day''s sixth match pitted the second-ranked <strong>Horns FC</strong> against <strong>Hell Knights</strong>. While <strong>Hell Knights</strong> showed marked improvement in their y, they still fell to <strong>Horns FC''s</strong> superior technique and teamwork.
As the <strong>Horn Premiere League</strong> gained momentum, corporate interest followed. Companies began approaching football clubs with sponsorship offers, transforming the sport''s financialndscape.
The club owners who''d initially doubted Arthur''s vision now saw the full scope of his strategy unfolding. As longtime football enthusiasts, they''d dreamed of seeing their beloved sport gain widespread recognition. But the prospect of turning a profit - something they''d considered impossible - proved Arthur''s business acumen extended far beyond entertainment.
The <strong>Horn Football Association</strong>, under Arthur''s ownership, also began securing corporate sponsorships. Stadium advertising boards and team uniforms in theter <strong>Horn Premiere League</strong> matches would soon disy sponsor logos.
By May 21st, viewers noticed prominent brands like "<strong>HOLLOW</strong>" adorning the stadium banners, while yer uniforms featured various corporate emblems. But what caught the audience''s attention most was the distinctive bottles the yers drank from during breaks.
During amercial break, Karnox of <strong>Hellfire FC</strong> appeared on screen, taking a long drink from a sleek bottle. "Get energized with <i>Monster</i>!" the announcer proimed. "The new sports drink from <strong>Hellfire Beverage</strong>! Just 0.3 dors at your local store - with special discounts at <strong>Horn City Hellscape Center</strong>!"
The advertisement captured the imagination of viewers young and old alike.
Arthur watched the <i>Monster</i>mercial from his office with satisfaction. The sports drink was another innovation he''d acquired from the <i>Dragon Ball</i> world weeks ago, adapting its electrolyte form and energy-boostingpounds for local production. The timing couldn''t have been better - the drink''sunch perfectlyplemented football''s rising poprity.
<i>Monster''s</i> sess wouldrgely depend on football''s growing poprity. Arthur knew the sports drink had potential to challenge "<strong>Red Mana''s</strong>" market dominance.
While football continued its upward trajectory, another project reached a crucial stage - the <i>Harry Potter</i> film entered its final phase of editing.
The <strong>Hellfire Network</strong> would soon introduce <i>movie trailers</i> to promote the film, a marketing concept this world had yet to discover. Arthur intended to revolutionize how films were advertised.
Several major studios had already requested advance screenings, curious about Arthur''stest project. Though these were his longtime partners, he''d noticed their loyalty wavering as they gravitated toward studios with established VFX departments.
Arthur couldn''t fault their skepticism - his directing hiatus had led the film industry to question his capabilities.
The <strong>Lava Brothers</strong>, a prominent demon studio from his <strong>Morningstar</strong> days, particrly exemplified this shift. Despite operating their own <strong>VFX Studio</strong> - one they''d purchased from Arthur himself - and producing several blockbusters, they saw little value in maintaining ties with <strong>Hellfire Studio</strong>.
Their only consistent contact came through inquiries about <i>Lord of the Rings</i> sequels.
Arthur remained unfazed by their attitude.
The <strong>Lava Brothers</strong>, like other studios, assumed he''d resigned himself to television, believing his blockbuster filmmaking days were behind him.
The television industry''s rapid growth couldn''t mask a fundamental reality - even at its peak, monthly TV revenue paled inparison to what a sessful blockbuster film could generate in just four weeks. Factor in the substantial costs of operating TVworks, and the financial disparity became even more stark.
This perception of television as a lesser market led major film studios to essentially abandon it to Arthur. Rival studios, <strong>Titan Pictures</strong> among them, had growncent. They dismissed Arthur as a seriouspetitor, convinced he would remain confined to television''s modest profits while they maintained their grip on the more lucrative film industry.
The next day brought an unprecedented surprise to the entertainment industry when <strong>Hellfire Network</strong>unched a revolutionary film promotion.
Thework, which covered most of <strong>Anatolia</strong> and <strong>Empirica</strong> - though live broadcasts hadn''t reached the <strong>Empirica</strong> region yet - aired the <i>"Harry Potter"</i> trailer across both territories simultaneously.
Viewers sat transfixed as something entirely new unfolded on their screens: A misty train station emerged from darkness, its architecture grand and mysterious. Above it, perched on distant cliffs, loomed an ancient castle beneath a full moon.
"In a world where magic shapes reality," a deep voice resonated, "three races stand at the crossroads of destiny. Humans... Demons... Elves..."
The scenes shifted rapidly - a bustling magical metropolis, Hogwarts Castle bathed in ethereal light, students facing the Sorting Hat. Each moment revealed more of this magical world where humans, demons, and elves studied together.
"Where courage will meet intellect," the narrator intoned as Harry Potter raised his wand, lightning crackling around him, "and ambition will sh with destiny."
The trailer climaxed with dramatic shes of magicalbat, ending on a haunting question: "Where will your magic take you?"
As the title "<i>Harry Potter</i>" appeared on screen, homes across both kingdoms erupted with excitement.
"Mom, I want to watch it!" a child eximed in an <strong>Empirica</strong> household, bouncing with enthusiasm.
The parents released a breath they hadn''t realized they''d been holding. Like everyone else, they''d never seen anything like this before. Film promotion had always meant simple billboards and posters - this was something entirely new.
