Chapter 839:
“Have you started looking for a manor yet?” Madisyn asked casually.
“We’re looking,” Glenn said thoughtfully. “The eastern suburbs look promising so far. You should keep an eye out, too—let us know if you come across something good.”
“Sure, Dad,” Madisyn replied. “I’ll look around when I get the chance.”
With that, their conversation wrapped up. Madisyn said her goodbyes and headed to the company. Her schedule these days was packed with preparations for the release of the new sci-fi movie. The first of next month had become a highly competitive release date, with several major films premiering, including Tatiana’s latest sci-fi movie. Coincidentally, a foreign sci-fi movie was also slated for the same day. The internet had already started buzzing, unofficially dubbing it “Sci-Fi Movie Day.”
“Three sci-fi films on the same day? Can’t wait!”noveldrama
“Don’t get your hopes up. Just because there are three doesn’t mean they’ll all be worth watching. I’m betting on Director John Schultz’s movie—it smashed records in Mafelen with five billion at the box office.”
“Absolutely! Their sci-fi movie productions are always topnotch.”
“Tatiana’s team looks solid this time. I’m planning to watch both hers and John’s film.”
“What about Maxine’s Wandering World? No one seems to be talking about it.”
“They don’t have much marketing going on. Probably a budget issue. Sci-fi movies aren’t cheap, and it doesn’t look like they’ve got the resources to make a real hit.”
“Exactly. I’m skipping that one.”
“Actually, I saw the trailer, and it doesn’t look bad. Might surprise us.”
“Why waste money on mediocre films? I’m sticking with Tatiana’s End of the Earth.”
The online discussions about the upcoming movie releases were relentless. Meanwhile, executives at major cinema chains were embroiled in their own heated debates. Scheduling was critical for every new movie release, and peak viewing times were the most coveted slots, often determining a film’s success or failure at the box office.
At Oscar Company, inside a sleek meeting room, the discussion was in full swing.
“The prime viewing slots should definitely go to End of the Earth. It’s the most anticipated film of the season!”
“I agree,” another chimed in. “The secondary peak slots should be reserved for Director John Schultz’s movie. His films have a massive fanbase and are guaranteed to draw crowds.”
The discussion heated up as opinions leaned towards giving the top slots to End of the Earth and Director John Schultz’s sci-fi blockbuster. At the head of the table, a woman in a sharp striped suit sat quietly, her hands clasped as she reviewed the data on the films. Wandering World, produced by Edge Entertainment, had been dismissed by most. But Edge Entertainment was owned by someone she couldn’t ignore…
“Ms. Hobbes, what’s your opinion?”
