Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 440 Promotion of "Twelve Zodiac Signs"

Lin Ke looked at the hot searches on the phone screen with a wry smile on his lips. He knew that no matter how he tried to avoid it, there would always be news of one kind or another that would push him to the forefront. However, this time seems to be a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation to promote "Zodiac".

"Hey, since it's already on the hot search, let's make this wave of traffic more intense." Lin Ke said to himself, and then dialed the producer's phone number.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, I have an idea." Lin Ke went straight to the topic as soon as he finished speaking.

Producer Zhang looked very excited when he heard Lin Ke's voice, "Hey! Why does our big star have time to call me today?"

"Stop coming!" Lin Ke responded angrily, "Listen to me first. The production of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" has been completed now, right? Why don't we take advantage of my popularity and organize a press conference quickly? ?”

Lao Zhang was stunned, "News conference? Are you sure you want to do it now?"

"Of course!" Lin Ke was full of confidence, "Just think, holding a press conference at this time can make the most of the current attention. Moreover, "Twelve Zodiac Signs" itself is of high quality..."

"Okay, okay!" Lao Zhang was persuaded by Lin Ke, "Then what is our specific plan?"

Next, the two began to plan every aspect of the press conference in detail - from the time and location to the participating guests; from how to send out invitations to the specific process arrangements on the day of the event, etc.

In order to increase the influence and topicality, special attention was paid to the selection of guests, several well-known directors and actors in the industry were invited, and it was also decided to allow more fans and viewers to participate through online live broadcast.

Both men were very professional and meticulous throughout the preparation process. After all, "Zodiac" is not only related to a major turning point in the studio's future development direction, but may also become one of the landmark works in the Chinese film industry.

While busy, Lin suddenly joked: "Old Zhang, I think this press conference will have to find a bodyguard team for me."

"Bodyguard?" Lao Zhang was surprised. "Why do you need bodyguards all of a sudden?"

"Didn't you see that people on the Internet said that I've become a thief again? What if fans or reporters block me?" Lin joked, half-seriously.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Although the conversation was relaxed, it revealed the seriousness of their careers and their persistent pursuit of success.
As the preparation work gradually progressed, the press conference schedule was quickly finalized. Lin knew that this was not only an important step before the release of "Twelve Zodiac Signs", but also an opportunity for him to redefine his own image and prove his strength.
"Okay! Then execute according to our plan!" After finally confirming all the details, Lin secretly looked forward to it when he hung up the phone.

The lights at the press conference were bright, and reporters and fans cheered one after another. Lin Ke stood on the stage, wearing a simple yet fashionable suit, looking confidently at the crowd below.

"Hello everyone, first of all, thank you very much for coming to the press conference of "Zodiac"." Lin Ke's opening remarks were concise and powerful, "I know you are all looking forward to this movie, and our team has also put in countless efforts."

As the applause died down, Lin Ke smiled and continued: "But today, here, I want to share a more exciting news with you."

The whole place fell silent, and everyone looked at him curiously.

"That's..." Lin Ke deliberately prolonged his tone, "We are about to start filming a new movie - "The Wandering Earth"!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene immediately erupted into screams and applause of surprise. "Haha!" Lin Ke smiled upon seeing this, "It seems that everyone is quite satisfied with the news!"

A reporter couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lin Ke, what role do you play in "The Wandering Earth"? Can you reveal it?"

"Ouch!" Lin Ke looked mysterious, "Well... it's being kept secret for the time being. But I can tell you that "The Wandering Earth" will be a masterpiece that surpasses its predecessors and leads the trend of science fiction. We hope that through It allows the audience to feel the shock and thinking brought by science fiction films.”

"The production cycle will be very long, right?" another reporter asked.

"Indeed." Lin Ke nodded and said seriously, "But in order to present the most perfect audio-visual feast to everyone, we are willing to invest more time and energy. At the same time, we also hope to receive continuous support and encouragement from the audience and fans."

Then a fan loudly asked: "Then how can we support you?"

After hearing this question, Lin's eyes flashed brightly and his smile became even brighter: "Actually, it's very simple. After "Twelve Zodiac Signs" was released, everyone enthusiastically went to the theater to watch it. At the same time, for the upcoming filming of "The Wandering Earth" ", please also stay tuned and spread positive energy!"

The audience burst into thunderous applause again.

After the press conference, Lin Ke's cell phone vibrated almost every second. Major media have reported on the news of "Zodiac" and the upcoming filming of "The Wandering Earth", and he himself has also been trending on major social platforms.

"Brother, you are really popular all over the Internet this time!" Lin Ke's friend Xiao Li excitedly showed him his mobile phone, "Look at this, 'Lin Ke's new work arouses expectations', and this 'From the Group' Playing the leading role - How Lin Ke counterattacked and became the new favorite in the entertainment industry'.

Lin Ke took the phone with a smile, but felt a little uneasy. "It's a bit popular, but I'm afraid "Zodiac" won't meet everyone's expectations."

"Don't worry! Didn't you say that? As long as you make good work, the audience will naturally buy it." Xiao Li patted him on the shoulder, "Besides, the number of reservations has increased crazily."

Sure enough, in the next few days, the number of reservations for "Zodiac" soared. Weibo, Douyin, Tieba... No matter which platform you use, you can see the support and expectations expressed by fans for the movie and Lin Ke himself.

"Haha! Lao Zhang! We really made a lot of money this time!" Producer Lao Zhang's extremely cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, "I just checked and the reservation box office of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" has already rushed to the front Three is gone!”

"Of course!" Lin Ke couldn't hide his joy, "But we can't be proud. The most important thing now is to ensure the quality of the movie."

"That's right." Lao Zhang said in a slightly serious tone, "Don't worry, "Twelve Zodiac Signs" will definitely not disappoint the audience. In addition, preparations for "The Wandering Earth" have also begun. Have you thought about it? Who cooperates?”

"About this..." Lin thought for a moment and said, "I have a few candidates in mind, but the specifics can only be determined after interviews."
