Chapter 805: Chapter 665: Life of Pi Comes

Lin Yuan was really not a sports fan.

Even at the Bluelympics, which took place every four years, he lost interest after just half an hour.

He barely understood the rules.

However, when the Qin Continent women’s volleyball team beat the Chu Continent team and advanced, Lin Yuan was quite happy.

This was probably due to his natural sense of belonging to Qin Continent.

Just then,

Ol’ Zhou suddenly came over.

Gu Dong was about to make tea for Ol’ Zhou, but Ol’ Zhou waved his hand, found a box of tea from the third cabinet on the right side of the office, and smiled broadly, “I knew there was a box of premium Pu-erh here.”

Gu Dong: “…”

How are you so familiar with this place?

Ol’ Zhou often visited Lin Yuan and knew the storage locations of different types of tea here as if it were his own home, but his visit today wasn’t for tea:

“Our movie has started its promotions recently.”

He said while making tea for himself.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan knew exactly which movie Ol’ Zhou was referring to.

He currently had only one movie that hadn’t been released yet, “Life of Pi”!

Speaking of which, the movie had indeed been delayed too long.

Although the movie demanded high-quality special effects and had a long production cycle, it shouldn’t have taken as long as it did now.

It was purely because the company hadn’t found a proper release slot and was involved in all sorts of other messy reasons like negotiating with cinemas for screening.

There were many aspects involved in releasing a movie.

Upon hearing this news, Lin Yuan was quite expectant:

“Has the release date been set?”

“Ten days from now, the cinema arrangements aren’t bad. The promotion started a while ago, and we have a broad setup for this movie. Considering the variety of movies on the market now, and the ongoing news about the Bluelympics everywhere, we don’t need to make too much of a fuss, just standard promotional efforts will do.”

“Good.”

Lin Yuan asked, “What do I need to do?”

Ol’ Zhou said, “There’s not much to do, just cooperate with the blog for some promotion. The blog is putting in a lot of effort to maintain a good cooperation with us. As for the Tribe, we couldn’t agree on terms, and in the end, no cooperation was reached.”

“Tribe…”

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Ol’ Zhou pursed his lips: “Our relationship with the Tribe isn’t great. Negotiating business with them is a hassle, our chairman got annoyed by them, and in the end, he decided to ignore them, after all, Blue Star can operate just fine without them!”

“It’s my fault.”

Lin Yuan knew why the Tribe wasn’t cooperating.

Since “Life of Pi” was a film he scripted and invested in, and he had already publicly declared no further cooperation with the Tribe, a feud had developed between them.

Given his background, it was normal for the Tribe to have reservations.

Even though “Life of Pi” wasn’t solely his work but also that of the entire production team behind it.

No matter how broad the involvement, they still held grudges.

“It doesn’t matter, don’t blame yourself.”

Ol’ Zhou casually said, “If the Tribe won’t join, other platforms are willing. It’s just some commercial promotions after all, and there are many promotion channels; it doesn’t make a difference with or without them.”

Lin Yuan didn’t speak.

He knew Ol’ Zhou was just trying to comfort him, things weren’t as easy as he stated.

The Tribe was currently the social platform with the highest user volume.

Having poor relations with the Tribe was inconvenient for Starlight.

It seemed he needed to help increase the number of users on the blog again.

The thought crossed Lin Yuan’s mind, knowing no one likes to feel restricted.

Although it wasn’t possible to take down a mammoth capital like the Tribe, helping the blog to beat the Tribe and capture some of its market share wasn’t difficult, especially since Lin Yuan himself was a shareholder of the blog.

In fact,

With the help of the Three Bros, the blog’s situation had already improved significantly against the Tribe.

These changes were intangible.

Only those who monitored the daily traffic changes on the blog would notice the impact.

As for the movie “Life of Pi,” the time had indeed come when it had to be released.

Lin Yuan hadn’t forgotten how he had been snubbed by the Dragon Awards.

He was counting on this movie to conquer the Dragon Awards!

If it weren’t released this year and postponed to the end of the year, it would be the Spring Festival slot, and a slew of high-investment movies would emerge.

The competition would be fierce.

The Spring Festival slot was always the most volatile time in the market, with too many uncertainties.

Lin Yuan wasn’t entirely sure.

This movie “Life of Pi” also wasn’t the type that could recklessly dominate the market; it still needed some strategic planning.

Postponing it to next year was unacceptable.

Because movies released next year would have to participate in the Dragon Awards the year after, and timing wouldn’t wait, not to mention that this movie was also linked to a specific System task.

“You must have thoughts about the Dragon Awards, right?”

Ol’ Zhou didn’t continue discussing the Tribe but instead brought up the Dragon Awards.

Who in Qin, Chu, Yan, and Han didn’t know the jokes between Xian Yu and the Dragon Awards?

Things like “The biggest award Xian Yu received at the Dragon Awards was for best music.”

And “Nobody can beat Xian Yu in music, and nobody can beat him in movies” and the like.

The first statement was true.

The latter was a jest about Xian Yu being a perennial runner-up at the Dragon Awards over the years.

If it really came to reputation, Xian Yu’s movies, even the lowest-rated “Spiderman” on Starlight Network, far surpassed similar-genre films.

Furthermore, the box office of these movies he scripted were never poor; all of them made a fortune with relatively low budgets, creating a perception in the industry that Xian Xu was adept at achieving great returns with small investments.
