The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

The next day.

6 o'clock in the morning.

Lin Ming felt like he was swaying in the waves and might capsize at any time.

When he opened his eyes, he found a cute little girl jumping on the bed.

"Nizi, what are you doing?" Lin Ming smiled bitterly.

"Dad, I'm doing exercises!"

Xuanxuan said seriously: "This is what my mother taught me. My mother does this every morning when she wakes up."

Hearing this.

In Lin Ming's mind, Chen Jia's graceful figure emerged.

That woman must be very attractive when doing exercises, right?

"Can't think about it, can't think about it..."

Lin Ming quickly drove the picture out of his mind.

"Dad, did I disturb you?"

Xuanxuan wrinkled her nose and said, "Huh, Daddy is a lazy pig. It's already daybreak and you still don't get up!"

Lin Ming glanced outside.

It's early winter, how can it be light at 6 o'clock!

Only children like Xuanxuan are carefree, go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning.

"Come on, let's wash up, Daddy will take you to have breakfast."

"Okay, okay, I'm starving!"

"Little girl, I think you are the reincarnation of a starving ghost!"

...

Take Xuanxuan to finish breakfast.

It was about 7:30.

All the members of Cat God's Record gathered in the hotel lobby.

Seeing Lin Ming coming with Xuanxuan.

Chen Lingyao, Liu Qing and the other two immediately shouted, "Mr. Lin."

"Yeah." Lin Ming smiled and nodded.

He glanced at the crowd, about 40 to 50 people.

This is not all the actors of Cat God. Many minor roles will leave after running, so there is no need to come.

"Boss Lin, the bus is ready. Are we going to Yuling now?" Jin Xingxian asked.

"You can arrange it. Don't pay too much attention to me. I'm just here for the show." Lin Ming said.

Obviously.

The actors of Cat God around him already knew Lin Ming's identity.

They occasionally looked at Lin Ming and exclaimed in low voices.

With this look, how can he be a boss? He is most suitable to be a star!

There were two buses in total. Lin Ming sat on the front bus with Jin Xingxian.

On the way to Yuling, Lin Ming received a call from Yu Jie.

"Boss Yu."

In a formal occasion, Lin Ming did not call Yu Jie "Third Brother".

"Boss Lin, I called you to talk to you about the scheduling of Cat God Cinema." Yu Jie said.

"You tell me."

"I have already contacted all the major domestic cinemas. Yaolai Jackie Chan and Pacific Cinemas have given a certain degree of scheduling, but the top ten large cinemas such as Jinyi Cinema, Bona International Cinema, and Wanda Cinema have only given a scheduling rate of 0.5%, and the scheduling cycle is only half a month." Yu Jie said.

"Is that so..." Lin Ming frowned slightly.

In fact, this is understandable and expected.

When the cinema schedules the film, it often considers the film's IP, plot, subject type, audience group, director, screenwriter, starring, and the number of celebrity fans.

In addition, the trailer will be referred to to judge the quality of the film.

After doing all this, the audience's intuitive feedback will be explored based on activities such as previews and viewing groups.

Based on the objective situation and subjective factors, movies with high expected values ​​will get the best time slots and more screenings.

Cat God's Story here.

The trailer has been sent to major cinemas.

Perhaps Lin Ming thought this movie was perfect because of his foresight into the future.

But those theaters would not think so.

As Jin Xingxian said.

Whether it was the genre, the cast, or the director, Cat God's Story had no advantages at all.

All the actors were unknown, and the director was just a rookie.

Even Cat God's Story was just Jin Xingxian's debut!

Even Phoenix Entertainment, which was behind it, was only established not long ago and had no say in the entertainment industry.

In this case, how could those large theaters give up other movies for Cat God's Story?

Whether Cat God's Story would become a dark horse, no one knew.

But what those theaters knew was that if they gave Cat God's Story more resources now, they would make a lot less money!

According to what Yu Jie said, the 5/1000 filming ratio was equivalent to Cat God's Story appearing five times in a thousand movies!

This was quite

Yu had no intention of scheduling the film "Mao Shen Ji" at all, but he did so because of the rigid regulations of the film market.

And under normal circumstances, the film scheduling cycle is about one month.

But Mao Shen Ji only takes half a month!

"Contact major short video apps, edit Mao Shen Ji clips and trailers, and promote Mao Shen Ji with traffic."

Lin Ming suddenly said: "In addition, Mao Shen Ji will also hold many road shows, and Phoenix Entertainment will use major media to deliver news points in a solid manner."

"Okay."

Yu Jie responded.

He said again: "Do you need to work harder on the artists?"

Lin Ming certainly understood what Yu Jie meant.

Gossip and scandal!

These are the two things that can attract the most attention on artists, and many entertainment companies have tried them many times.

"Not for the time being."

Lin Ming thought about it and refused.

As for Liu Qing, Chen Lingyao, and Yu Yan, they are not famous at present.

There is really no need to work hard on them.

"Next, I will inject another 1 billion yuan into Phoenix Entertainment. How to negotiate with those theaters depends on Phoenix Entertainment."

Lin Ming said in a deep voice: "The preview box office is particularly important. It will directly determine the attitude of major theaters towards Cat God. You can discuss the preview time with Director Jin first. Before that, you must make sufficient preparations."

"Okay."

After Yu Jie responded, he hung up the phone.

On the bus where Lin Ming was, everyone pricked up their ears.

They heard it clearly just now.

Lin Ming is about to inject another 1 billion yuan into Phoenix Entertainment and will promote it with traffic.

What does this mean?

Spend money!

So what if the genre is niche?

So what if the actors are ordinary?

Since Lin Ming is very optimistic about Cat God, even if he spends money, he must make a bloody way!

Although the consequence of doing so... is likely to be a total loss.

"Everyone."

Lin Ming stood up and said loudly: "Just now, it was Director Yu Jie of Phoenix Entertainment who called me. I believe you have guessed the content of the call."

"Yes!"

"The major domestic cinemas are not optimistic about Cat God. At least for now, the screening rate and screening cycle have reached the freezing point."

"But I, Lin Ming, just don't believe in evil!"

"I have watched the entire film of Cat God, and I am deeply impressed by this film, your acting skills and hard work!"

"This is Director Jin's debut, and it may also be your debut."

"You come from all over the world, with the dream of making movies, and have experienced many setbacks and hardships, but in the end you still stay in this industry."

"Why is that? I think you know better than me!"

"Now, I am willing to work hard for Cat God. Are you willing?!"

In the car.

Everyone looked at Lin Ming, who seemed to be engaged in pyramid schemes, but they were excited, their faces flushed, and their hands clenched.

After a brief silence, everyone burst into hysterical roars. "We do!!!"
