I want to make headlines

Chapter 787 Choice
"Hey, Andy, look, there are movie fans in China who made a special trip to see my movie, and even wrote movie reviews."

After the premiere, Gan Jing, Andy and his assistant went back to the hotel.

"You are the Uranus superstar in China, isn't this normal?" Andy was not surprised at all, this is the response that a first-line A cafe should have.

Gan Jing smiled, although this is not the first time he has encountered such a situation, but every time he sees him, he feels good, this is the approval of fans, um, although some film reviews are written with criticism, as long as it is Reasonable and reasonable criticism, he does not think there is anything.

It is normal for a thousand readers to have a thousand Hamlets.

"Andy, black tea or coffee?" The assistant packed up the documents brought back by the two and asked for a drink.

"Black tea." Andy expressed his thanks. He participated in the premiere of the night together today, but the daytime is not leisurely, and now he is really a little tired.

After Gan Jing signaled that he needed a cup of coffee but was rejected, he also took a cup of black tea helplessly, and then he was still reading film reviews with great interest.

"Padana" is an award-winning movie, and it is also one of the rare movies that Gan Jing himself does not need to pay attention to the box office. What it needs is not the box office, but word of mouth.

And where does word of mouth come from?

Audience reactions on social networks, film reviews on online professional websites, and columns in magazines and media, the comprehensive responses from these aspects are the word-of-mouth of a film.

Of course, the data in many aspects is controllable, and the guidance to the audience is also controllable.

That's part of the reason the Oscar race costs money.

"Huh? This was written by a film critic I know, and it has quite a lot of likes." Gan Jing flipped through it twice and saw a familiar name, "She said, Forrest Gump is always the most devout to movies. attitude towards the work.”

Gan Jing raised his head and laughed, and looked up shyly, and said to the other two in the room: "Oh, the evaluation is too high, the evaluation is too high, I am ashamed, I am ashamed."

Andy glanced at him, turned on his mobile phone video, and replied casually: "I didn't say you dare to be. You should look at the evaluation of the United States now. After all, word of mouth here determines the tendency and allocation of the Olympic awards." Ramon's strategy."

Gan Jing rubbed his chin and nodded seriously: "That makes sense." Just now, he habitually watched the domestic response, but in fact, he had to admit that the influence of the domestic audience was relatively small.

He clicked the mouse, and at the same time clicked on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, the two most influential movie review websites in the United States. There are already a lot of movie reviews here.

The current ratings of the two sides are similar at present. IMDB is 8.5 points, and Rotten Tomatoes is 90% fresh. Both are still in the stage where the film has just been released and is still slightly high. If the quality of a film is too poor, there will be a certain degree of On the low side, the first impression is always easy to get out of control.

Gan Jing browsed for a while, and suddenly said in surprise: "I saw that some film critics were already comparing "Padana" and "Focus".

Andy looked away from the video connection with his wife, and asked with concern: "How is it?"

Ah Wen, who was reviewing domestic film reviews, also moved closer.

Gan Jing read word for word: "These two films have surprised me. As an audience who likes realistic themes, I am very happy to see two good films at the same time this year. However, if I Choosing Oscar, maybe "Focus" has a greater impact and shock on me."

Gan Jing took a breath and continued: "After all, we all know that the money in the entertainment industry is not so normal. There are too many bad movies every year, but the filth in religion is not so easy to think of. This year, if I With the right to vote, I would vote for Spotlight without a doubt."

Andy frowned, and said: "As expected, "Focus" has an advantage in the choice of subject matter, and it is difficult to reverse."

Gan Jing took a sip of black tea and said, "I haven't finished reading yet. There is one more sentence. This person wrote one last sentence! What he wrote was, I'm sorry, A-Gump!"

Andy: "..."

Awen: "..."

It sounds like this person is still a fan of Forrest Gump, at least he is a passerby fan.

But even so, he still chose "Focus".

Although it is not yet a sample under big data, the content of such a film review is already evident.

"I don't know if Paramount will change its strategy. If it really wants to compete for the best picture, the entire crew will only have your voice. If you lose in the end, the impact will not be good." Andy was a little worried.

"If the people in Paramount are not blind, they should be able to make the right choice." Gan Jing continued to scroll down, and found that the comments under this film review were almost 80.00 percent, and [-]% of the people agreed with the author The reason for choosing——"Padana" is a good work, but it's a pity that I met "Focus" which is more sensitive to Americans.

"People's eyes are definitely not blind, but I'm afraid that some people choose to be blind out of personal interests. It's not uncommon for this kind of company to happen." Andy said lightly in a tone of someone who has experienced it.

Gan Jing fell silent, this was something that had to be guarded against.

The number of movie reviews on the Internet gradually increased. Gan Jing watched almost all of them until one o'clock in the morning, and found that the closer to the movie's first screening time, the easier it was for movie reviewers to give positive reviews.

After thinking about it, he understood why.

The box office and word-of-mouth of my previous films were good, so the aura accumulated in this way is actually instructive. Even if some people want to give bad reviews, they will be affected by this factor when they first came out. After all, they wrote film reviews when they came up. People tend to be fans.

When the time is later, when the group atmosphere weakens, and it is not easy to be sprayed in the dead of night, some remarks that do not conform to the overall opinion will appear. They may not be malicious, but the movie cannot be liked by everyone.

At two o'clock in the morning, Gan Jing fell asleep, and when his head was resting on the pillow, he was still thinking about the preparations he should make for the meeting with Paramount tomorrow.

In fact, these two moves are easy to hurt face. I am afraid that the former will not be able to fight, and the latter may be regarded as fear.

Thinking of this, Gan Jing unconsciously fell asleep.

However, when he woke up the next day, he found that his voice was hoarse.

"It's really leaking and raining all night..." Gan Jing was very helpless, took two anti-inflammatory drugs after breakfast, took his assistant and Andy and went straight to the Paramount headquarters.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the high-level meeting of Paramount Pictures was officially held.

"After the premiere last night, I saw the content of the major film review websites. What do you think of this matter?"
