The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

I had a delicious lunch at noon.

In the afternoon.

Lin Zechuan called Lin Ming again and asked Lin Ming and Lin Zhengfeng to go to his house for tea.

Perhaps it was because Lin Ming helped him without any hesitation, which made him know that Lin Ming still remembered this feeling in his heart.

So, the atmosphere this time seemed much more harmonious, not as awkward as before.

In fact, Lin Ming had many classmates in the village, and they went to elementary school and junior high school together.

However, since high school, the relationship between these classmates has gradually become distant, so that some of them don’t even recognize each other when they meet now.

Of course, they must know Lin Ming.

The level is completely different.

Lin Ming will only play at Lin Zechuan and Lin Zhengfeng’s house.

As for other classmates, at most they will say hello when they meet.

They also know that they can’t reach Lin Ming’s level now. After all, there is no interest involved, so they will not come to curry favor with Lin Ming.

During the process of drinking tea.

Liu Wenbin called Lin Ming.

Two things.

First: Yun Jiujun, Huan Liuyun and others have confirmed their schedules, and they will indeed participate in the Lantern Festival Gala on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

However, they will also perform on stage during the Phoenix Group's annual meeting.

In addition.

Huan Liuyun has received invitations to play the leading role in two movies, a TV series, and four web series.

The specific choice is still to be discussed by the company.

Liu Ruoxi and Yun Jiujun have also received such invitations, and Yun Jiujun has even more films, and his salary has reached 20 million per film!

For him, who has only debuted for a few months, this is already at the ceiling of the new generation of actors.

What a pity.

Only Lin Ming knows that Yun Jiujun will definitely refuse, and he only has music in his eyes.

Huan Liuyun and Liu Ruoxi are the two.

Although these movies and TV series are only medium-sized productions, they have actually taken the steps of top-tier actors from now on.

For Lin Ming, this is all good news.

The more popular these people are, the more money he, the boss behind the scenes, will make.

The second thing Liu Wenbin mentioned was naturally about the box office of the preview of "Cat God".

However, Liu Wenbin kept it a secret and did not tell Lin Ming directly how much the movie box office was. Instead, he asked the great director Jin Xingxian to tell Lin Ming in person.

Lin Ming could only hang up the phone helplessly.

In fact, in his original prediction, the box office of the preview of "Cat God" exceeded 100 million!

The number of people who paid for on-demand tickets exceeded 2 million!

What does this mean?

The highest box office record for previews in the history of Chinese-language films is 123 million.

The box office of the preview of "Cat God" is infinitely close to the preview record, and it is only a little bit away from the top!

And all this was before Lin Ming intervened, and it was under the control of another company!

It was when everyone, including that company, was not optimistic and there was no large-scale publicity!

Now.

Lin Ming paved the way for "Cat God" through Weibo, Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili, etc. At the same time, the company spent a lot of money to let the "Cat God" team conduct roadshows in many cities.

It also opened up a large number of cinema channels, allowing "Cat God" to obtain a higher share of the screening.

The audience's expectations for "Cat God" have already been raised to the maximum, and it is inevitable that the box office of the preview will exceed Lin Ming's previous prediction!

Seeing Lin Ming hang up the phone.

Liu Zechuan immediately asked: "Lin Ming, I probably listened to some of your conversation just now. Is Cat God's Story a movie produced by your company?"

"Yes."

Lin Ming nodded: "There have been too many things in the past few days. If Phoenix Entertainment hadn't mentioned this to me, I would have forgotten it completely."

"Look, is this the legendary 'noble people forget things'?"

Zhang Li teased: "To be honest, I think you are too unsophisticated. That's the release of a movie, which can easily make hundreds of millions of box office. How can you say it as if someone's sweet potatoes have been harvested?"

"No, no, no, this is called 'down-to-earth'." Wen Yuanyuan also laughed.

"You two just like to make fun of me, right?"

Lin Ming winked at Chen Jia: "My dear wife, attack them!"

"To be reasonable, I think what they said makes sense." Chen Jia said with a smile.

Lin Ming rolled his eyes.

He is indeed very busy.

He is so busy that he has no time to care about Cat God, and even forgot that Cat God had been screened on the day of the New Year.

This has nothing to do with whether you can predict the future. Many small things and details together will always make people feel overwhelmed.

Chen Jia, this stinky woman, knows that she is not pretending, but she still helps to bully me.

Yeah.

Next time, I must give her three1 hour to watch it!

"You are so careless that you can forget such things."

Lin Zechuan smiled bitterly: "I didn't know that Cat God's Story was a movie produced by Phoenix Entertainment. I just saw it on the website by chance. It seems to have broken some preview record."

"But I have to say something you don't like to hear. I don't have any feelings about movies, so I just took a look at it at that time. If it weren't for your call, I wouldn't have remembered it."

"Break the preview record?" Lin Ming's eyes lit up.

He immediately took out his mobile phone and planned to check it online.

In fact, the water in the film and television industry is even more muddy. The online box office of many movies is inaccurate, and false reports and fake reports are everywhere.

But Cat God's Story has no tricks here.

The box office revealed on the Internet will only be less, not more!

But before Lin Ming opened the webpage.

Jin Xingxian's phone call came.

"Director Jin, Happy New Year!" Lin Ming smiled.

"Boss Lin, we haven't started celebrating the New Year yet. Isn't it time to say New Year's greetings?"

Jin Xingxian's bitter smile could be clearly heard.

"Besides, even if we really want to say New Year's greetings, I'll be the one to say them to you. It's not appropriate for you to say these words first, right?"

"It's the same." Lin Ming smiled.

"Well... I'll call you to wish you New Year's greetings in the evening. Now I want to tell you something." Jin Xingxian said.

"You go." Lin Ming showed his expectation.

Only to hear Jin Xingxian clear his throat: "On the day of the Little New Year, the preview of Cat God was screened for one day, and the total number of viewers exceeded 5 million, and the total box office... 238 million!"

At the end, Jin Xingxian's voice trembled with excitement.

He was like a primary school student who got full marks in the exam, excitedly asking for credit from his parents.

And Lin Ming.

When he heard the preview box office of '238 million', he was also stunned.

Judging from the preview alone, The Legend of Cat God has broken the record of the entire Chinese film industry and stood at the true peak!

And the chain effect brought by this box office will be an extremely explosive premiere and release box office, as well as a reputation that continues to ferment and spread throughout the streets and alleys!

Almost twice what Lin Ming predicted!

This is definitely related to the operation of Phoenix Entertainment.
