Chapter 225 Locker Room Little Theater
"What's wrong, Father?" Harry Osborn looked at his Father worriedly. "Should I call a Doctor over?"
"No need, it's just a sneeze, no need to make a fuss." Norman took out a tissue and wiped his Nose. "On the contrary, you just came back from another Universe, don't you need to rest for a while longer?"
"I've already rested, Father, you should sleep a little more." Harry complained.
"I will," Norman agreed perfunctorily.
Seeing Father say this, Harry didn't insist anymore, but quietly moved Norman's Physical Examination time forward on his schedule.
"By the way." Harry handed a Data to Norman. "This is the Ratings for the latest Program of 'New Warriors'."
This 'New Warriors' is the exclusive Program of the Superhero Team New Warriors. The five Top Card of Star Company all have exclusive Programs named after their Teams, which are scheduled to be broadcast from Monday to Friday respectively. On Saturdays and Sundays, they will rebroadcast the Top Card Programs and broadcast some Programs featuring unified minor Characters.
Norman took the Data. Although these things are handled by dedicated personnel and he doesn't need to worry about them himself, Norman still occasionally looks at them to relieve the fatigue brought by his main Business. Osborn Group is after all engaged in scientific research, so there are really not a few things that raise Norman's blood pressure.
Usually at this time, Norman would look at his booming Side Job. Norman is after all a Merchant, and the steadily rising Data is really the best adjustment. However, today this Data cannot make Norman happy.
"How could the Ratings drop so much?" Norman frowned and threw the Data in his hand onto the Desk. "Has someone in New Warriors had a scandal?"
In theory, it is normal for the Ratings of a TV Program to fluctuate. This phenomenon has happened before. It's not uncommon for Superheroes to have scandals exposed and be boycotted by the Public, leading to a decrease in Ratings.
A arrogant Figure appeared in Norman's mind. He rubbed his Temple and said, "Is it Speedball? He looks like the kind of person who would cause trouble. What did he do?"
"It's not him." Harry shook his head. "This time no one made a mistake, but it's because of Habby."
Hearing Harry's words, Norman was a little surprised. He asked, "Yang Le? How could it be? How is this related to him?"
Norman vaguely recalled the time he spent with Yang Le who had Transformed Form into Flame Man, and couldn't help but shudder. He prayed in his Heart that he must not provoke this great Buddha, Yang Le.
"When New Warriors were arresting Criminals, a Bank Robbery happened to occur, and it was Habby who solved that Robbery." As Harry spoke, he took out a Remote Control from his pocket and pressed the Button on it. A Screen slowly descended from the Ceiling, and the Screen lit up, showing Yang Le's Transformed Form of Light Whip Pterodactyl appearing prominently on it.
"Although I've never seen Habby Transformed Form into this, I've only seen this pattern on Habby." Harry pointed to the Omnitrix on Light Whip Pterodactyl's left shoulder.
Hearing Harry say this, Norman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Good, good, as long as it's not provoking Yang Le, that's good.
Although Harry didn't know why his Father suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he continued to explain, "We've analyzed the online comments and found that the vast majority of Passerby Audience are already tired of our monotonous handsome men and beautiful women Heroes. They are all asking if the Pterodactyl Habby Transformed Form into is the Company's new Hero, clamoring for us to quickly launch his Program."
"Ignore them." Norman leaned back in his Chair. "People are like this, always wanting more, never satisfied. Let them stew for a while, and then find a few Superhuman with strange appearances to shoot a Special Program."
Norman saw it very clearly. The more you cater to the Audience, the more they will take you for granted. Appropriate suppression is also necessary. The reason why Norman dares to do this is because he has confidence. His confidence comes from Osborn Group's strongest Resources and the official background brought by SHIELD. In terms of Superheroes, he can be said to have monopolized the market. Even if those Audience are unhappy, they can only endure it.
"Should I call Peter over?" Harry asked. "Peter's Transformed Form will definitely capture a large number of Audience. With this, he might be able to go back to School."
This reminded Norman. He said, "You can discuss it with Peter, but be careful when talking to him, don't irritate him, and be sure to respect Peter's opinion."
"Of course I know, Father," Harry said excitedly. "Peter is my good Friend."
Father and son chatted for a while, and Harry went to find Peter happily, leaving Norman's Office alone to return to silence again.
Looking at Speedball on the Data Poster, for no reason, Norman actually had a bad Feeling.
"Hope I'm overthinking it." Norman sighed. Teenagers are always worrying. Seeing these Children, Norman became more and more Pride of Harry.
Crumpling the Data on the Desk into a ball, Norman casually threw it into the Trash Can.
"Clang!"
Speedball Robbie crushed the Drink Can in his hand and threw it into the Trash Can in the Lounge with a basketball shooting Gesture.
"Yes!" Robbie cheered alone. "Three-pointer from long range! Robbie saved his Team."
"Quiet down, Robbie!" Namorita scolded. "This isn't your private Lounge."
Facing his teammate's complaint, Robbie didn't feel a bit of guilt. He curled his lips and said, "Do you think I want to act like a fool? I just saw that the Ratings were down and everyone was very disappointed, so I wanted to make you happy!"
"Thanks, but that's not funny," Namorita said helplessly, supporting her Forehead.
Robbie muttered in his Heart: 'So difficult to please, no wonder she has such a good Figure but still doesn't have a Boyfriend. Who can stand this Personality? Eileen is still cuter.'
Thinking this, Squirrel Girl Doreen Green indeed came up to smooth things over.
"Okay, everyone is in a Squad, we are all Friends, no need to be so confrontational," Eileen waved her hand and walked between the two.
"I'm just telling the truth." Namorita didn't back down following Eileen's words, and still retorted stubbornly, "On the contrary, someone has always looked down on us, thinking about being alone in a room. Save it, that's for Mr. Immortal, only Big Five Level can have that."
"Hey!" Robbie shouted dissatisfied, Eileen beside him pulled him back.
"You're going too far, Rita," Eileen winked at Namorita, signaling her to say less.
"Forget it, Eileen." Robbie curled his lips and said with feigned disdain, "After all, the other party is not of the same Race as us, it's normal for them to look down on us."
