Chapter 419 Advantages of Internet Media

Gilbert Jr. attaches great importance to the online promotion platform, and he also knows the role of online promotion on young movie fans.

With the development of the Internet industry and the increasing number of personal computer users, the audience of online propaganda has begun to have a power that is no less than that of traditional media.

In terms of publicity speed, online media is even better.

Traditional media can only report on the premiere the next day, but online media can report on the same day and even provide live text broadcast.

If the current video transmission speed is not unsatisfactory, we can directly broadcast live video.

For traditional media, this is an emerging media field that is destructive and subversive.

Suppression is unrealistic because it is the Internet's super-rich who are driving the development of the Internet media industry. No matter how rich the media is, how can it compare with these Internet tycoons who have countless amounts of money?
In fact, whether intentional or unintentional, online media does have advantages that traditional media do not have.

As a man of the future, Gilbert Jr. started planning the Internet media industry very early, and this is where the role of social networking sites lies.

As we all know, most of the traditional media power in Western society is controlled by the squid people. This is commonly known as the Angsa people holding guns and the squid people using their mouths.

This is a kind of public opinion hegemony, which, combined with guns, is unstoppable in the world.

Logically speaking, as a member of the Squid, Little Gilbert should stand on the same side as the other Squids. The general trend is irreversible, but at least he should lead the Squids to join the army of online media.

But Gilbert Jr. did not do that. He did not remind the squids that there was a loophole in their hegemony of public opinion, and that loophole was online public opinion.

Looking back at the past, it was the online public opinion, which still seems non-mainstream today, that destroyed the squids' hegemony of public opinion and the squid myth.

As a normal person, little Gilbert doesn't think he is a good person, but at least he has the conscience of a human being.

Little Gilbert doesn't want to speak for the beasts in the future and cheer for them. He also doesn't want to cheer for the low-quality Mexicans and niggers, or any so-called groups.

Little Gilbert is not discriminating against these people. In fact, these little fools are also being used as guns.

According to the story of God's creation, there were only men and women in the beginning of the world, and the development of so many genders is against God's will.

As the Son of God, Jesus' brother, little Gilbert felt it was his duty to set the record straight in the future...

In order to do what you want to do and say what you want to say without suffering any backlash, the Internet will be a very important position in the future.

Recently, Xigua Social Company launched a new product called Twitter, whose functions are somewhat inferior to the previous Twitter.

Mainly because there is no mobile version, Twitter's competitiveness is not yet obvious.

But if Twitter is ported to mobile devices in the future, the advantages of sharing messages, posting pictures and expressing one's own ideas anytime and anywhere will be reflected.

Gilbert Jr. is also confident that nothing will happen to Twitter, which he controls, and that those Washington bosses, who are surrounded by scandals and rumors, can do nothing to him.

He is a member of the ruling class. If we get rid of him, isn't that getting rid of the ruling class?

Any boss who dares to do this will probably end up like the man in the convertible and can go to hell.

By the way, I heard that a certain lame guy who is currently serving as a member of Congress likes to ride in convertibles.

No need to make any arrangements, it saves a lot of trouble.

This was the first time that several online media were invited to attend a movie premiere, and the speed with which these online media released reports was also noticed.

I didn’t expect that online media would play such a huge role in film promotion and have advantages that traditional media do not have.

Smart people see this, but only a very few people can see the disruptive revolution that Internet media is bringing to the media industry, which is digging at the roots of the media.

In addition to the "Weekly Movie Report", "Hollywood First Line" also brought a fresh report: ""Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is a film suitable for all ages, with family-style light humor mixed with a little bit of tension and horror.

Mysterious treasures, skeleton pirates, strange gold coin curses, thrilling and intense sea chases and fights, and elegant and free-spirited British fencing duels.

The passionate and handsome Will, the beautiful and persistent Elizabeth, and the legendary and humorous pirate Jack, all the attractive elements can be found here. "

The Hollywood Industry website is more concerned about the special effects technology displayed in the film: "The most noteworthy thing about this film is the computer special effects.

Some pirates were turned into skeletons due to the curse, but their true skeleton appearance can only be seen when there is moonlight.

Therefore, all kinds of fights were arranged at night, and the intermittent moonlight made the pirates sometimes appear as humans and sometimes as ghosts.

Especially when the moonlight shines on part of a pirate's body, the alternation of half-human and half-ghost in the movement is even more weird and terrifying as the moonlight projects.

This film is representative of the current development of the Hollywood special effects industry, which has made great progress compared to a few years ago."

In addition to these online media, professional film critics also publish film reviews on ratings collection websites such as IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes.

Through online media platforms, publishing film reviews is much faster than before.

But the only problem is that professional film critics can post film reviews, and ordinary movie fans can also post film reviews, so everyone has become a film critic. And to be honest, these professional film critics who are meddling in the film industry and sucking blood are not necessarily more professional than some senior movie fans.

The first to suffer from the emergence of online platforms are professional film critics. The authority of film critics has gradually been questioned, and now in the summer season, audiences no longer listen to them.

The only place it might work is during awards season.

Although there are a few film critics, such as Roger Ebert, who is doing relatively well and has become a relatively popular film critic, other film critics are basically on the decline and their good days will not last long.

Roger Ebert is very special. He has gained attention by being shameless and licking little Gilbert, making himself popular among young movie fans.

In the past life, there was a special term to describe this kind of people, which is Internet celebrity.

It can be said that Roger Ebert is the first generation of Internet celebrities at the advent of the Internet age. However, he is a real Internet celebrity, unlike the Internet celebrities in the past, most of whom have no talent.

Roger Ebert also attended the premiere and immediately posted a review after returning:
"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl brings a classic 17th century fantasy story to the screen in a traditional way, with a happy ending.

Although the plot is not much different from usual Hollywood commercial blockbusters, the audiences were happy and enjoyed watching it. This is the wonderful and appropriate part of the film.

This shows that the film's creative techniques are not just superficial work, and the subtle use of high technology makes the audience like it for no reason.

The skeleton characters in the film do not feel scary at all in the moonlight, but pure, which is the biggest success of the film. "

In addition, he also praised Gilbert Jr. on a daily basis: "As a director, Gilbert Jr. has made an indelible contribution to filming such a clichéd story so well and shaping the characters so well.

Although there are rumors that Gilbert Jr. has gone downhill after the Lord of the Rings series, I think that is nonsense.

Gilbert is still in the prime of his directorial career and is far from going downhill.”

Roger Ebert has mastered the traffic code, and his words are recognized by many fans of Little Gilbert. For die-hard fans, they absolutely do not agree with the statement that Little Gilbert is on the decline.

The midnight show has started, which means the summer movie season has also begun.

Zoe and Doug didn't qualify for the premiere, but that didn't matter, they got tickets for the midnight show.

After dropping the child off at his grandmother's house, the two dressed up and went to the cinema as if they were going to a high-end banquet.

For the couple, going to the cinema to watch a movie is no longer for entertainment, but a ritual that must be completed every summer, so they have to look beautiful.

After leaving the cinema, Zoe and Doug were very satisfied with the movie: "It was really good, especially Captain Jack. I felt he was so charming."

“Yeah,” Doug agreed. “I like Johnny Depp as an actor. He finally found a role that suits him.”

"So how do you think this movie will do at the box office?" Zoe asked.

Doug made his judgment based on his many years of experience in watching movies: "I think that a global box office of $600 million to $700 million is not a problem, and the surrounding areas are also a highlight.

It would be a shame if this kind of movie didn’t have some skull merchandise or pirate hats.”

As they were talking, Zuoyou and Doug saw a few people wearing pirate hats and skull necklaces walking by excitedly. The group was still discussing the film and planned to watch it a second time the next day.

Doug shrugged and pointed at the fans who were obviously younger than the couple and said, "You see, there's no need to worry that Gilbert Jr. will become obsolete. So many young people like his movies."

"Indeed, let's go shopping too!" Zoe's attention was attracted by the surrounding shops, and she pulled Doug into the surrounding shops.

At this time, there were more than thirty people in the small shop purchasing peripheral products. They were all movie fans who had just finished watching the midnight show.

Zoe and Doug came in and found that the most conspicuous places on the shelves were filled with "Pirates of the Caribbean" related peripheral products.

For example, the hat that Captain Jack wore, the swords used by Captain Jack and Will Turner, and Captain Jack's compass. Elizabeth's fan.

In addition, there are dolls of the main characters, a doll of the mean monkey in the film, a model of the Black Pearl, and so on.

There are so many peripheral products, of all kinds, filling up the shelves.

After getting Zoe's permission, Doug brought the model of the Black Pearl back home, and Zoe also bought a Will Turner doll, Captain Jack's hat, and a skull necklace.

These things cost the couple $869, mainly because the Black Pearl model was more expensive.

No wonder so many people buy imitations made by Lao Mo. The genuine products are indeed a bit expensive.

What outsiders don’t know is that most of these products are produced in factories located in China, with very low costs, which is simply huge profits.

In the past two years, many Hollywood giants have also settled in China, and the cooperation with surrounding factories has taken root and sprouted like bamboo shoots after the spring rain.

Capital usually pursues lower costs and higher profits. Capitalists don't care about the lives of factories and workers in North America.
