Chapter 921: The Cat Alliance

After the rain, the weather is sunny and the temperature is rising, which is a good time to go out.

In such weather, riding a bicycle on the streets of the old city, seeing the vicissitudes of the old houses, hearing the sound of the gentle waves, leisurely, elegant, quiet and natural, Lin Chen felt that his life had slowed down all of a sudden.

It's a pity that the good mood didn't last long, and just after turning the corner, a large sea of cars suddenly appeared in front of him and his wife Huang Qiwen.

The colorful shared bicycles are tightly packed together, and the chaos implies regularity, and it looks a little beautiful. But this beauty appeared in the wrong place, not only piled up on the side of the road, but also encroached on the middle of the road, and pedestrians had to hend their stomachs and chests sideways.

Ironically, at the end of the sea of cars is a warning sign of "no motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles entering", and the red no-go sign has become the boundary of the sea of cars, which looks all kinds of embarrassing.

Someone has recognized the problem, and a group of volunteers wearing cat ear hair ornaments are doing manual grooming, but it will take time to dredge all of them.

Seeing this situation, Lin Chen had no choice but to turn his head and greet his wife: "The front is blocked, let's turn around!"

Huang Qiwen naturally nodded in agreement, turned the car with Lin Chen, and went outside to find a suitable place to park.

Looking for a place to park her bicycle, she took out her mobile phone to end the trip, and suddenly chuckled, "Haha, Bee Pictures just sent me a message, reminding me that the gate of the studio was full of cars, so let me divert early and park early." If we had seen it earlier, we wouldn't have had to take this unjust road. ”

"Walking a few more steps is a workout, anyway, the next movie has been postponed, and we have time. ”

"Hmm, why?" Huang Qiwen wondered.

Lin Chen shook his mobile phone: "Bee Pictures has sent a total of three messages, one reminding to park early, one reminding the screening to be postponed, and one suggesting not to use shared bicycles. Hehe, the combination of blocking and sparseness, the royal road is the right solution. ”

"There are still a lot of shared bicycles, no matter what, as long as there are too many, it will be flooded!"

"It's not!" Lin Chen agreed, "In the past, there was only one public bicycle in the city, but now there are so many shared bicycles pouring in all of a sudden, red, blue, yellow, white, and bicycles are several times more, but the sidewalks and parking spots have not become larger, so it will naturally be insufficient." Wait, wait for them to eat small fish, and eventually form one or two giants, and the situation will be much better. ”

took out her mobile phone to end the trip, Huang Qiwen looked up and asked, "How do you say this?"

Holding his wife's waist that had not yet lost weight, Lin Chen said as he walked: "Now these companies are fighting their own battles, and they can't see each other's vehicle data. When these companies merge with each other and exchange data, they will inevitably reduce investment and strengthen regulation, so as to improve this phenomenon, after all, congested vehicles will not generate revenue. ”

"That's the same!" Huang Qiwen nodded, "I just hope they won't raise the price like online car-hailing when the time comes." ”

Hearing that cycling can help with postpartum recovery, she started experimenting with cycling every day, and now that she's in love with the sport, she doesn't want to see any twists and turns in this convenient and fast way of getting around.

"Price increases are inevitable, opening a business is not charity, burning money now to cultivate habits, and it will naturally earn back in the future. But it shouldn't rise too much, after all, there is still a public bicycle as an opponent. They are now feeling the pressure and are actively changing and engaging in mergers and acquisitions. ”

"It's long overdue, public bicycles are still a little troublesome to use, and Bee Green Line only solves the problem of difficulty in getting a card, and it's still a little troublesome to find a car to park, and it's not as convenient and fast as a shared bicycle. Not to mention the public bicycles in other cities, all of them are lazy cancer patients, and the citizens will not change their reactions, and now they are seeing the fire burning their eyebrows, only to know that they are improving the integration, hehe, I'm afraid it's too late!"

As long as they succeed in bidding, they will be able to lie down and eat subsidies, and naturally they will have little incentive to expand their scale and improve their services. ”

As they walked, the two returned to the place where they had turned around. Thanks to the efforts of Maoer volunteers and the staff of the bicycle company, the scale of the rainbow car sea has been slightly reduced, but there are still many bicycles on the road.

"Wife?" Lin Chen looked at his wife beside him, "Let's go and help too, right?"

"Okay!" As a beneficiary of bike sharing, Huang Qiwen doesn't mind doing something for them.

Finally, thanks to everyone's efforts, the bicycles blocked on the road were moved outside, and the pedestrian street was restored to traffic.

After receiving the cat ear hairpin card presented by the staff, the couple walked into this deep space cinema located in Lao Cai.

Bee Pictures chartered the screening here, and screened their new special effects film "Cat Wars!" throughout the day, as long as netizens who have been invited by "Cat League" and "Milian" can watch the movie for free with the invitation. This activity is an important reason why the pedestrian street was blocked by bicycles.

According to the regulations, motor vehicles and non-motorized vehicles are prohibited from entering the pedestrian street, but the security guards at the street entrance only have no law enforcement power and deterrent effect.

Bee Pictures' free screenings attracted a large number of movie fans, resulting in a large number of bicycles pouring here from all over the island. At the beginning, cat fans could still abide by the rules and regulations and park in a suitable place on the side of the road, but in the end, things began to get out of control, and the more bicycles came and went, the more they accumulated, the more they naturally spread to the no-parking area, and finally it became what Lin Chen saw at the beginning.

In his opinion, the road blockage incident was completely the result of the poor organization of Bee Pictures, "Bee Shadow should not hold activities here, the road in the old city is narrow and small, and there are not so many bicycles at all!

Huang Qiwen disagreed with him, "It's actually good to choose this place, opposite is Qin Island, and after watching the movie, I just went to the island to feed the cat." The main reason is that they didn't take into account the bicycle factor, maybe they didn't expect so many people to ride over, and then there was a problem. ”

"Maybe!" Lin Chen nodded and didn't say anything more.

In fact, in his opinion, today's traffic jam incident is not without the deliberate connivance or even intentional factors of the organizers.

With the blessing of capital power, different colors of shared bicycles are attacking cities and grabbing land across the country, which is convenient for everyone to travel at the same time, but also creates a lot of news events, decomposing bicycles on the mountains and seas, private locks and illegal parking, and then it has become the "national quality mirror" under the hands of people who like to evaluate the quality of moral reviews, and the news of shared bicycles is particularly easy to make headlines. In this case, such a thing as a suspicion at the entrance of the cinema will inevitably attract the attention of Ludao and other domestic media, and even the "Cat War" will also gain additional attention.

However, Bee Shadow and Ying Fu are a family, and the brotherhood still has to be talked about, so naturally he can't criticize this mistake, just know it in his heart.

After receiving 3D glasses, buying popcorn drinks, and the two people wearing cat ear hair accessories on their heads stepped into the 3D theater.

It didn't take long for the lights in the theater to dim, and the opening logos of Bee Pictures and a number of participating companies appeared on the screen.

"Why is there still Japanese?"

Seeing an unfamiliar Japanese logo, Huang Qiwen leaned into Lin Chen's ear and asked in a low voice.

"Of course, it's because Japanese companies are involved in the movie, and this film invites Uncle Cat and a group of famous Japanese cats to participate, have you forgotten?"

The former stuck out her tongue, and she really forgot.

After the opening credits, the film officially begins.

Its plot is actually very simple, a small island where humans and cats live in harmony and peace, until a careerist emerges from the wild cat.

The big cat, named Lulu, is wild and untamable, and he believes that wild cats should be self-reliant, and resolutely opposes the behavior of raising their heads and waging their tails and begging for human feeding. In order to achieve its goal, Lulu subdued the wild cats on the island and formed the "Cat Alliance" to attack the humans, trying to drive them away and dominate the entire island.

However, its dream was strongly resisted by its own family, and those domestic cats and stray cats close to humans opposed this rude and unwise behavior, and even did not hesitate to form a "Mi Union" to fight a civil war with the "Cat Alliance". Although they are more numerous and better equipped, the opponent's minions are sharper and their individual combat ability is stronger, and there are still humans on their side who do not know the truth and are always dragging their feet, making it impossible to fully exert their equipment and quantity.

The film is about the "cat civil war" that takes place behind the roof wall and is invisible, and is related to the fate of dozens of people, or cat group fights.

Such scenes are not uncommon on the Internet in life, but the production team uses Internet famous cats and cG special effects, as well as the sky-high brains of the screenwriters, to make commonplace things no longer ordinary, but full of highlights.

There is no doubt that the "Cat Wars!" launched by Bee Shadow and multinational film companies is a typical "high-concept" comedy movie.

High concept is a foreign word from Hollywood, the original text is "highco", which probably means simple and clear, easy to spread, and easy to understand. The "high" of the high concept does not lie in the artistic value and aesthetic significance, but in the "high stimulation and high excitement", hoping to attract the attention of the audience with a peculiar and simple concept, and then arouse interest to induce consumption.

As long as it meets the key points of high investment, big scenes, multiple stars, strong publicity, and high returns, and the plot is very bizarre and straightforward, it is likely to be a member of the "high concept" film.

The protagonist of this film, human stars, is dozens of famous cats from all over the world, all of whom have tens of millions of human fans. And their fans are also more likely to be satisfied, as long as they can collect a sufficient number of memes, they can be satisfied.

Those who like special effects and funny audiences also have well-designed cat war scenes to enjoy. Thanks to the extensive use of mechanical models and cG special effects, the fights and weapon applications in the film are imaginative and realistic, unlike some animal films, which make animal characters become human beings dressed in animal skin, but speak, think, and do things.

Of course, just playing like this is inevitably a bit monotonous and boring. Then, the third-party force "Wild Dog Gang" made a brilliant appearance, and as soon as they came out, they launched indiscriminate attacks on the Cat Alliance, Milian, and humans, and their ambition to occupy the whole island and expel other residents was undisguised.

Faced with the huge pressure brought by the "Wild Dog Gang", the cats had to reach a reconciliation under the pressure of foreign enemies, and the cats paw unanimously expelled the Wild Dog Gang with the outside world. And they also know each other and recognize each other in the common battle, form a deep friendship, meet each other with a smile and enmity, merge the cat alliance and become the "cat alliance" dedicated to protecting the island, and give the audience a harmonious and happy reunion that a family movie should have.

Such a plot is placed in ordinary movie fans, and it is indispensable to be criticized for the sentence "mentally retarded, young, only suitable for children to watch". But these audiences who appear in the theater are not ordinary people, "Milian" invites cat fathers and cat mothers who have cute cats at home, and "Cat League" invites potential cat slaves who often like stray cat-related content, these two waves of people will naturally not be bored with the plot on the screen, and the viewing process is full of laughter and admiration, and none of them quit halfway.

The only thing that makes everyone feel annoyed is that the screening is free but it is not allowed to watch it twice, and many people are in a state of unfulfilled desire after watching the movie, but there is no place to do it again. Some people bought tickets to Qindao to find local stray cats, while others took out their mobile phones and vented their frustration on social media accounts, criticizing the bee shadow who sent Buddha to the west, and showing off the memes they had just received.

In fact, Bee Shadow also has a hard time, as a family movie, the scheduled schedule of "Cat War" is this year's winter vacation, so naturally it can't start large-scale screening now. Moreover, "eat three points full", what the producer and distributor want is the current situation of not having enough to eat, so as to stimulate the expressive desire and sharing spirit of loyal audiences, so as to accumulate enough strong communication momentum in the next half a month, and accumulate word-of-mouth and popularity for the official release of the film.

Huang Qiwen also didn't eat enough, but she neither went to Qindao nor sent a scarf, but took Lin Chen to the pet store.

The reason why they didn't send a scarf was because they forgot to take a screenshot of the gif, and they were embarrassed to borrow someone else's, so they simply couldn't see it. They didn't go to Qin Island, but because they knew that there were not many cats on the island as locals, and the small island of less than two square kilometers was crowded with tens of thousands of tourists and various businesses serving them, and there was no room for musicians and stray cats to live for a long time, and the names of Qin Island and Cat Island had faded and deteriorated.

Because she was worried that Toxoplasma gondii would affect the baby, the original cat at home was sent to a relative's house for foster care very early.
