Sophia had learned this trick from Little Kitten. After the release of a movie, one had to create a sensation and find ways to increase the movieâs popularity. That was why many celebrities would suffer breakups or get involved in quarrels after the release of their moviesâit was to make themselves more popular.
Two days ago, Stanley had posted pictures of the cured meat at Taylorâs home. It immediately became a viral topic across the internet, indirectly leading to the increased popularity of Taylorâs new movie.
Therefore, they had to do something, so that perhaps even those who had no interest in the movie would end up watching it. Besides, cured meat cooked by the idol himself would surely be exceptionally delicious.
As soon as the Twitter post came out, the interest in his movie went up by leaps and bounds. Thus, Taylor and his cured meat once again made headlines. With the gimmick in place, they had to fervently create more enthusiasm by spending money to get the media to report about it to keep the news trending.
Michael was very cooperative in playing along with Sophiaâs fangirl activities. Whenever she asked him to post on Twitter, he would post accordingly even though he was extremely unwilling to give away his cured meat. Those are mine! Mine! I donât even have enough for myself! Why do I have to give it away?!
How maddening! Even more maddening was that, since the movieâs release, Sophia insisted on watching the movie at least once every morning. This happened once, twice, thrice, four timesâ¦
Sometimes, she felt that she could watch it again after watching it once in the morning. Thus, she would hurriedly purchase tickets for the second screening of the day.
Therefore, Michael would accompany her to the nearest cinema to watch the movie every single morning. Although he enjoyed watching what he acted in, he was growing sick of it after watching it repeatedly every single day.
However, Sophia didnât seem to tire of it. Rather, she insisted on watching it every single morning, then having lunch outside before returning to the Edwards Residence. She wanted to use her own way to support her idolâs new movie. Not only did she go and watch it every day, but she also brought people along with her to watch it together.
Hence, Nathan and Nicholas were forced to watch it with her every single day. She even went so far as to specially buy a ticket for Nicholas so that it had a seat too. An extra person meant an extra movie ticket, which would, in turn, increase her idolâs box office earnings!
Because of this, Michael felt utterly embarrassed. Particularly since he had to cross-dress whenever he went out with Sophia, for fear of being recognized.
By now, all the ticket sellers at the cinema knew of Sophia. After all, she was the only one to brave the winter, arriving on time every morning to watch âDoctor Invincibleâ without fail. Furthermore, she was also the only one to bring a robot with her and even went so far as to buy a ticket for the robot.
One of the staff members had taken and posted a photo of Nicholas sitting properly in his seat watching the movie, which led to another wave of enthusiasm for the movie.
On the other hand, Michael was no longer ashamed about going around in female clothing. Still, he was very tempted to tell Sophia that she did not need to work so hard. After all, his movies were never lacking in box office earnings. Even if she worked earnestly to increase the popularity of the movie, the box office earnings would still hit 5 billion. Similarly, even if she didnât do anything, the box office earnings would still hit 5 billion. Therefore, it didnât make a difference.
As this movie was based on a comic, it was portrayed in a fictional world. More than ten movies had been filmed based on the same premise previously, and those movies had been well received in the box office. This time around, the movie starred two mega-celebritiesâTaylor Murray and Ethan Winston.
With first-class acting skills, top-quality production, sincere and mature production technology, as well as backing from a whole series, its box office earnings hit 400 million on the first day of its release. After that, it continued to maintain between 200-300 million every single day.
During this time, Sophia would check the box office earnings of the day before as soon as she woke up every morning. Then, she would check to see if the number of screenings for the day and the attendance of these screenings were high. It was as if she was obsessed with her fangirling activities. After that, she would hurriedly book her tickets. It reached a point where she was tempted to bring her cats along just so that her cats could occupy seats too. With that, she would be able to contribute to the box office earnings by another four or five tickets.
Michael honestly did not wish to be dragged out every morning to watch the movie. Hence, he quickly suggested, âThe snow and the plum blossoms are so beautiful here. Why donât you invite Stan and Sean over to admire this?â
Thatâs a good idea! Hence, she quickly called up Stanley and invited him over for two days. As soon as Stanley received her phone call, he immediately brought along his pets. Naturally, Sean came along too.
It happened to be the weekend, so it was just right for them to spend the weekend.
Linus joined them too. His arrival was just in time for him to examine Nicholas. Recently, its server responses seemed to be slowing down and nobody could figure out what was wrong with it.
Furthermore, he brought his pets along too, and it turned into a pet conference.
Then, Sophia called Sarah. âLittle Kitten, come over to play! Sean will be coming over too! Why donât you come together with him?â
Sarah hesitantly asked, âWill Harry be there?â
Sophia patted her chest confidently and assured Sarah, âHe wonât be there. He has gone to the beach to escape winter.â
With that, Sarah finally agreed to join them without fear and brought her cat along too.
When everybody arrived at the mansion, Sophia brought out the new batch of cured meat she made as refreshments for everyone. After lunch, the servants started a bonfire near the plum orchard. Crowding around the bonfire, they chatted and exchanged ideas on pet-raising methods.
âTo be honest, Iâve been wanting to come here ever since I heard that youâre living here. But, I was afraid of getting scolded by Uncle Michael,â Stanley said. There was a Ragdoll snuggled in his lap. Meanwhile, his husky had run off to play in the snow. Looking at Sophiaâs fat orange cats, he scornfully remarked, âSay; you and Uncle Michael are so slim. So, why are your cats so fat?â
It snowed heavily today. Thus, they were warming themselves around the fire at the pavilion. However, it was freezing as soon as they left the fire. For that reason, even the pets were crowding around the bonfire and refusing to move away, except for the two sled dogs.
Sophia hugged one of her cats to warm her hands as she said, âThey just have a thick coat of fur.â
Scratching Chrysanthemumâs face, she said to the cat, âYou just have thick fur, donât you, Chrysanthemum?â
The orange cat purred in reply.
Then, he shifted his attention to Linus and his pets. He looked at them disdainfully as he said, âWhy are you raising local breeds for pets? It doesnât match with your status at all.â
How could the future patriarch of the dignified Michel Family and the worldâs most eligible bachelor raise a bunch of local breeds? If word got out about this, it would be so embarrassing!
In response, Linus held his Dragon Li cat and smiled. âStan, you donât understand. The Dragon Li is very expensive overseas. I heard itâs worth over 300 US dollars! Besides, arenât the pets youâre raising nothing but a bunch of local breeds from where I come from?â
Upon hearing those words, Stanley had no comeback. After all, a Ragdoll and a husky were indeed the local breeds at Linusâ hometown!
Then, Sarah suddenly piped up, âStanley, Sunset is gorgeous. If youâre free, you can bring her to my cat café and let her work there. Iâll pay you by the hour!â
Stanley couldnât bear to send his cat out to âworkâ. Thus, he quickly changed the subject. âWhereâs Uncle Michael? Where did he go?â
After they finished lunch, they had not seen Michael anywhere, and nobody knew where he went.
Snuggling against the cat, Sophia said, âHe said he is going to give me a surprise later. So, he is in the middle of preparing it now!â
Upon hearing those words, Stanley had a chilly expression. Every time they get together, they just have to show off how loving they are. I wonder what kind of earth-shattering performance weâll be getting this time. Itâs fine; come at me! Iâve gone through many battles! I can take it!
In front of their bonfire was a stage. As Harperâs Mansion was built and passed down from a hundred years ago, it retained the stage that all big families in the past used to have in their houses. Besides, the stage seemed to be prepared for some sort of activity. Thus, Stanley loudly made a guess. âUncle Michael must have hired a theater troupe to entertain us today!â
Linus was looking forward to it. I wonder what kind of show Iâll get to watch today.
