Chapter 229 Box Office "Fake Corpse"

Chen Jingxing did not directly respond to the "censorship" from the producers of "Fantasy City". He is not only a director, but also the boss of DreamWorks. Now DreamWorks is known as the sixth largest studio in China. What do you say to Jangho Culture?

He is also a celebrity, and he would be a bit undervalued when it comes to direct confrontation with Guo Xiaosi and the main creative staff of "Fantasy City".

He directly blasted the traffic at the media preview of "Tang Detective". As a famous director and legendary filmmaker, he commented on the "unhealthy trends" in the film and television industry. He should not be dragged into a big mouth that specializes in online blasting.

Level one, so you can't directly scold others for their provocation.

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

Soon, questions and discussions about "Why has "Fantasy City" not been released on Douban yet?" became popular on the Internet.

Netizens who sided with "Tang Detective" and DreamWorks naturally took advantage of this and ridiculed "Fantasy City" to their heart's content.

[Didn’t I say that my colleagues launched a cyber army to hack "Fantasy City"? Why is it so late to open the score? Let's see if 80% to 90% of the classic epic blockbuster has been hacked? 】

[Haha, Guo Xiaosi’s traditional performing arts, “Do you think I’m dead so you can stop criticizing me?” It’s so familiar, but he refuses to find the reason within himself. He probably still thinks that “Tiny Times” was criticized because of it.

He was insulted by people who don’t like him. If you don’t pollute the eyes of the audience every day, who has the time to stare at you?]

[How dare you open a Douban score? If you don’t see 5 points when the time comes, how can you complain?]

[Haha, it made me laugh so hard. Fans of Wu Tingxuan still use the Maoyan score of 9.2 to say that someone is deliberately being dissatisfied. Open your eyes and go to Maoyan to see if there are any movies with a score lower than 9.]

Theoretically speaking, the ratings of ticket-purchasing software should be more valuable. After all, only viewers who have bought tickets with real money can rate them. However, the ratings of ticket-purchasing software like Maoyan are completely indistinguishable, clustered together at 8 and 9 points.

Often two movies with very different ratings on Douban will have scores of 9.2 and 9.1 on the ticket purchasing software. Such relatively tolerant and non-discriminatory ratings also eliminate the reference value of the ratings to a certain extent.

Because of the excellent quality of "Tang Detective" and Guo Xiaosi's bad reputation, most passers-by basically sided with DreamWorks and believed that the "anti-gangsterism" of the "Fantasy City" producers and brain-dead fans was purely due to persecution paranoia and collusion.

porcelain.

What is strange is that, in addition to netizens and individual marketing accounts accusing "Fantasy City" of fabricated box office, many media and even online media that had previously vigorously reported on the box office battle between "Tang Detective" and "Fantasy City" turned a blind eye to this and focused on

Regarding "Tang Detective" and its director and starring role, the report on the box office of "Fantasy City" was relatively brief.

Someone on the Internet has also confirmed that the two theaters under Jangho Culture in the same theater have only 24 minutes between screenings of "Fantasy City" at night. Unless it is shown in five times fast forward, it is completely unexplainable. It even appeared in the middle of the night.

I visited a lot of ghost theaters and watched "City of Fantasy" overcrowded at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night.

Therefore, to passers-by, Douban ratings indeed still have irreplaceable value, even if their fairness is often questioned.

This scene even directly awakened Chen Jingxing's distant memories, reminding him of the final "craziness" of "Monster Hunt" in his previous life, and the sudden "return to glory" of the box office that had already reached the end of its career.

Only then did Chen Jingxing truly understand why the real-world "Monster Hunt" did not use corpse fraud. In addition to the fact that the box-office record set by "Source Code" in this real-world was only 2 billion, not 2.4 billion, so there was no need to use extraordinary means. It turns out that Jianghe Culture

I'm saving ammunition for "Fantasy City" to use.

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

However, most of these pictures were quickly deleted.

Of course, another very important reason is that the producers have not yet interfered too deeply with Douban, and there is rarely a point lock, and delaying the release of points is the biggest "interference".

It has to be said that although many people think that Douban ratings are unfair, there are also many arguments that "Douban ratings have no value, and people who have never watched the movie can rate them, so they have no reference value." For example, the supporters of "Fantasy City" and Wu Tingxuan

Fans came up with this statement again.

And soon even Wu Tingxuan's fans, who were the most stubborn and stubborn, began to gradually die down.

But as the saying goes, the tallest among the shortest is the tallest. I really can’t find a more reference-based movie and TV drama rating website in China.

There is no trend of "raising accounts" in the fan circle - Douban scores set different weights for different users based on the activity of movie and TV drama reviews. These complex algorithm settings make it difficult to achieve points based solely on quantity - this is also

Chen Jingxing is not too worried about the situation where "Fantasy City" suddenly opens the score and ends up with an 8 or 9 score.

Obviously the media also knows how to measure the box office fraud. No one dares to directly lift the lid on box office fraud like "Fantasy City". After all, the water of theatrical distribution is still very deep. Although many companies are not as blatant as Jianghe Culture, they are not unreasonable.

After engaging in small-scale actions, as an influential media, once it really wants to get to the bottom of the matter and stir up public opinion, really forcing the competent authorities to take action, the impact will be too great.

Because there was a scene in the movie market where a "big transformation into a living person", ah no, a miracle of "resurrection from the dead" occurred.

Since the box office crossover between "Fantasy City" and "Tang Detective", the box office of "Tang Detective" has been stable and even continued to rise, while "Fantasy City" should continue to be sluggish according to the box office curve, and it will be difficult for it to rise again.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, "Fantasy City" suddenly changed its "curve function" and began to counterattack and rise. The box office that had dropped to 20 million on the working day the previous day actually increased to 25 million the next day.

It rose to 30 million per day.

Of course, at the same time, Wu Tingxuan's fans also began to stop. Even those who were ignorant and fearless in confronting others on the Internet ended this round of online battles under the deliberate downplay and low-keyness of the official fan club. Doing this

Of course, things have to be kept low-key, otherwise you may get into trouble if you act like a good guy even if you get an advantage.

But Chen Jingxing actually doesn't care about this. It's not that box office is stolen. He contributes to national tax revenue. As long as it doesn't affect the interests of "Tang Detective", DreamWorks doesn't care.

As for why Jiang He insisted on box office fraud, he could guess that since DreamWorks was not a listed company yet, he would not have to think about such a thing in the short term and would not encounter it.

In this way, in a win-win situation of "Hello, I'm hello, everyone", the box office of "Tang Detective" reached 580 million nine days after its release. Its second weekend box office even dropped compared to the first weekend, and it has formed a reputation

According to the media and ticket purchasing software, the final box office target of "Tang Detective" has also been increased to 1.07 billion, making it another box office dark horse this year.
