Anxiety Away

Other than adults, teens, and kids being sufficiently affected, it is also a guarantee that another crowd of society would be influenced.

"95! 96! 97! 98! 99...!!" The music enthusiasts could be heard rocking to 99's catchy vibe.

Music was going strong and poor Mob Choir's glory was taken by Alexander Creed's vocals and money-grubbing hands.

Although it induced guilt in the little guy, he could only shrug it off.

Remaking and mastering the notes and instruments from future visions was pretty hard, so he still has credit.

Especially when Alexander had no prior knowledge of music.

Good thing that Mark had already cooperated with him on the remaking of the C418 theme music.

After all, when there is a will, there is a way. Hence, Cosmic Pictures would be earning royalty money from record companies that would want to release '99' to the global music industry.

This way, the little actor had also gotten the little musician title as another side gig!

The butterfly effect had already made its splash but Alexander's foreknowledge of an alternate and future universe would always give him leeway to reach the top.

With the crowd murmuring and comparing their insights about the movies, the Creed trio slowly shuffled through the crowd.

All that they can tell is that Kid Psychic and the Kid Psychic 2 trailer have riled up those that haven't seen any or the other.

These people didn't notice that little Alex with his non-summer clothing is the center of the topic they are wild about.

He was a year older since filming the trilogy, so he was barely and subtly similar to his four-year-old self.

To also help the viewers' perception of him change for the upcoming Inuyashiki movie, he changed his hairstyle from shaggy to a bit more reserved and non-flowy.

Either way, young Alex still had the handsome Creed gene in him and was slowly shedding his innocent cuteness into a more mature or one-year-older level of pleasingness.

While Sullivan was free to not wear the ridiculous clothes, Mark was different. His looks were not that different from the infamous Jonathan, so he had to be a lot more careful around others.

Eventually, they got into their safe haven - the car. As one would expect from a business-oriented family, they talked about their family business.

"Dad, I didn't realize you had an improved quality of the film. Even though others might not notice it due to the low-quality film projector, the clearness and lightness of the whole moving pictures are a cut above what other films have to offer." Alexander was excited by the prospect of improved film quality.

The very first film in their library wouldn't be seen as a 70s film at all and would be saved from old movie biases that future generations would have.

"Haha! Don't praise your father for that!" Old Sullivan chuckled at his grandson's gleaming excitement. "I had a rather fortunate encounter in Japan and it introduced me to improved versions of those camera and video tinkerings."

"You should know that those Japanese are crazy about their technological and gigantic corporations. Naturally, there would be copycats and rough starters in their midst. Fortunately for me, I managed to grasp a rather new innovation from an unknown inventor at a pretty low price."

Alexander could really feel his grandfather oozing his big wad of money and lucky streak.

The boy also came to realize from his grandfather that the improved film strips might be an exclusive thing for them. Giving their movies a distinct picture while others can only make do with the normal advancements that film technology would have.

They really had to give credit to that undiscovered film improver for being unknown yet innovative and foolishly generous to sell out his research.

It had to be said that technology companies have films in the same level of advance as the one Sullivan procured but they would keep it in reserves.

Hence, every mass market appliance is only an older tech while the more advanced ones are kept in secret until an even more advanced tech is up for grabs.

It is a cycle of old and innovative! The famous Apple and Microsoft earn big bucks through this method. Your new phone becomes old and that newer phone you are about to buy is about to become so last season in the next season.

Sullivan hit the jackpot by him grabbing the advanced tech at an earlier and non-mass marketing period.

Cosmi Pictures will accumulate the advantages while the lobbying business competition has to wait.

Mark added in from behind the wheel. "If you weren't too ashamed to look at your birthday present, then you would have known. Seeing yourself bury your head in a ton of drawings while unaware of your surroundings is a great watching experience."

"Yep, and it's in clearer pictures too!" Sullivan piled up and Alexander had to roll his eyes at them. "Yeah yeah! I get it!"

The trio had their fun while the movie industry was still in turmoil.

Jaws was more than enough to shock society and when word got around that Kid Psychic was another level ahead of it, the stirred film insiders became disturbed.

There was no clear tallying on the first day gross as of this year but with a little snooping, number lovers could more or less know the Kid Psychic record.

With a staggering 900 theater premiere, the young psychic earned a box office of 1.8 million dollars from a single day of screening.

If box office analysts were correct in their predictions, then the film would likely gross about 10 million dollars in its first week, give or take. That was an incredible achievement for the movie's budget which is only within 9-10 million dollars.

Its ultra-wide screening strategy coupled with its likely upward trend after its incredible audience reception were factors that came into play.

The others were fine when it was the huge Universal that got the big cake, however, they weren't able to stomach it when a recently-established film company was able to take an even bigger cake.

They halfheartedly approved its PG rating due to its inherent weirdness. To think that such a devious newcomer of a company actually had a nationwide simultaneous release up in their sleeves.

Board directors and CEOs were having meetings to cope with the recent upheavals within their turf. The summer files, the analysis, and the coping methods were all underway!

While they were busy with those company-wide management methodologies and burdensome worries, little Alexander and his elders were smiling even in their sleep.

That lingering and pestering anxiety finally went away!
