The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 229 Box Office "Fake Corpse"

Chen Jingxing did not directly respond to the "touching porcelain" of the film crew of "Illusion City". He is not only the director, but also the boss of DreamWorks. Now DreamWorks is known as the sixth largest studio in Huaguo. What do you say to Jianghe Culture? He is also a celebrity, for Guo Xiaosi and the main creators of "Illusion City" "pointing and cursing", if he goes directly to the line, it will be a bit of a drop in price.

He directly blasted the traffic at the media preview of "Tang Detective". It was a famous director and legendary filmmaker's comment on the "unhealthy wind" in the film and television industry. Level one, so you can't directly scold others for provocation.

But naturally there are marketing accounts and the media "speaking" for him.

Soon, questions and discussions of "Why is "Illusion City" not opened on Douban?" became popular on the Internet.

Netizens on the side of "Tang Detective" and DreamWorks naturally took advantage of this point to ridicule "Fantasy City" to their heart's content.

[Didn't you say that your peers launched the navy black "Fantasy City"?Why is it so late?Let's see if the classic epic blockbuster with eight or nine points has been hacked? 】

[Haha, Guo Xiaosi’s traditional performing arts, “Is it because I’m dead that you can’t criticize me?” It’s almost familiar, but he refuses to find reasons from himself. He probably still thinks that "Little Times" was complained about. Being blackmailed by people who don't like him, it's not that you pollute the audience's eyes every day, who has the time to stare at you and blackmail you]

[How dare you open the Douban rating, don't see 5 points when the time comes, how can you complain about injustice]

[Haha, I laughed so hard, Wu Tingxuan’s fans are still holding a Maoyan score of 9.2 and saying that someone is intentionally slandering, keep your eyes open and go to Maoyan to see if there are any movies with a score lower than 9 points]

I have to say that although many people think that Douban ratings are unfair, there are also many arguments that "Duban ratings have no gold content, and people who have never watched the movie can also score, so there is no reference value", such as the supporters of "Illusion City" and Wu Tingxuan's Fans came up with this statement again.

But as the saying goes, the dwarf is taller, and there is really no more reference website for film and television drama ratings in China.

Theoretically speaking, the ratings of ticketing software should be more valuable. After all, audiences who bought tickets with real money can score. However, the ratings of ticketing software like Maoyan are completely indiscriminate, with 8 points and 9 points clustered together.

Often two movies with very different ratings on Douban have a score of 9.2 on the ticketing software and a 9.1 on the other. Such a relatively tolerant and non-discriminatory rating also eliminates the reference value of the rating in a certain sense.

Therefore, for passers-by, Douban ratings still have irreplaceable value, even though its fairness is often questioned.

Of course, there is also a very important reason. Nowadays, the producers’ intervention in Douban has not been too deep, and there are very few locked points. Delaying the opening of points is considered the biggest "intervention".

There is also no trend of "raising accounts" in the fan circle - Douban scores set different weights for different users according to the activity of film and television drama reviews. Let Chen Jingxing not be too worried about the situation where "Illusion City" really suddenly scored 8 points and 9 points.

Because of the excellent quality of "Tang Detective" and Guo Xiaosi's bad reputation, most passers-by are on the side of DreamWorks, thinking that the "anti-criminalism" of the "Illusion City" film crew and brain-dead fans is purely persecution paranoia and collision. porcelain.

And soon, even Wu Tingxuan's fans, who were the deadliest duck-mouthed, began to gradually die down.

Because there was a scene in the film market that "resurrected people", ah, the miracle of "resurrection from the dead".

Since the box office crossover between "Fantasy City" and "Tang Detective", the box office of "Tang Detective" has stabilized and even continued to rise, while "Fantasy City" should continue to slump according to the box office curve, and it is difficult to rise again.

Unexpectedly, only a few days later, "Fantasy City" suddenly changed its "curve function" and began to counterattack and rise. The box office that had dropped to 2000 million the previous working day unexpectedly increased to 2500 million the next day. Day rose to 3000 million.

Moreover, the fraudulent corpse of "Illusion City" did not affect the box office of "Tang Detective", but directly boosted the market, achieving a win-win situation with the opponent.

This scene even directly awakened Chen Jingxing's relatively distant memories, reminding him of the "crazy" at the end of "Monster Hunt" in the previous life, and the sudden "resurrection" of the box office that had already reached the end of the mast.

Only then did Chen Jingxing really understand why the real plane "Monster Hunt" did not use the method of deceiving corpses, except that the box office record created by the real plane "Source Code" was only 20 billion instead of 24 billion, so there was no need to use extraordinary methods. Is it saving ammunition for "Fantasy City"?

Some people on the Internet also issued a real hammer, the two theaters under Jianghe Culture, the same movie hall even had only 24 minutes for the filming interval of "Illusion City" at night. I went to a lot of ghost venues, and at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, there were overcrowded people watching "Fantasy City".

However, most of these images were quickly deleted.

The strange thing is that, apart from netizens and individual marketing accounts accusing "Fantasy City" of fabricating the box office, many media and even Internet media that had previously reported on the box office battle between "Tang Detective" and "Fantasy City" turned a blind eye to this and focused on For "Tang Detective" and the director and starring role, the report on the box office of "Fantasy City" was relatively brief.

Obviously, the media also knows how to measure. No one dares to lift the cover of box office fraud like "Illusion City". After all, the pool of theater distribution is still very deep. Small-scale small-scale actions have been carried out. Once an influential media really wants to get to the bottom of it, fan public opinion, and really force the competent authorities to take action, the impact will be too great.

Of course, at the same time, Wu Tingxuan's fans also began to die down one after another. Even if there were still ignorant and fearless people who fought against others on the Internet, they ended this round of online battles under the deliberate downplay and low-key of the official support club. Of course things have to be low-key, otherwise you may get into trouble if you get cheap and act good.

But Chen Jingxing actually didn't care about this, and it wasn't that the box office was stolen. They contributed to the country's tax revenue. As long as it didn't affect the interests of "Tang Detective", DreamWorks didn't care.

As for why Jiang He insisted on falsifying the box office, he could also guess, anyway, DreamWorks is not a listed company, so he would not have to think about such a thing in the short term and would not encounter it.

In this way, under the win-win situation of "Hello, Me, Hello, Everyone", the box office of "Tang Detective" reached 5.8 million after nine days of release, and his second weekend's box office even reversed compared to the first weekend, and formed a word of mouth According to reports, the final box office of "Tang Detective" by the ticketing software has also increased to 10.7 billion, becoming another dark horse at the box office this year.
