Chapter 505: Scoring Turmoil (Part II)
"It's too much!"
In the general manager's office of Dream Media, Nie Xiaoqian said indignantly: "The box office and word-of-mouth are not as good as we say that we hire a water army to brush up the scores, it's unreasonable, who does he think he is!"
When she heard the news last night, she went to read Wang Hongben's blog and almost blew up her lungs.
I've never seen such a brazen person!
Although Wang Hongben did not directly name names, among the competitors in the same period, only "Chasing the Murderer" conforms to his statement, saying that insinuations are light, and it is almost to expose the last layer of face.
Nie Xiaoqian is still very angry when she thinks about it, so she came to Dream Media early in the morning to discuss countermeasures with Li Mengru and Luo Kai.
Fight back, you have to fight back hard!
Not to mention her relationship with Li Mengru and Luo Kai, Chuxia Culture is also the producer of "Chasing the Murderer", Luo Kai's investment in this movie is all from Chuxia Culture, and the profit share is also attributed to Chuxia Culture.
Although Nie Xiaoqian doesn't care how much money she makes, and she doesn't have many shares in Chuxia Culture, but for the company she managed for the first time, her feelings for Chuxia Culture are getting deeper and deeper, and the general manager should have a taste.
Under such circumstances, how could Nie Xiaoqian tolerate Wang Hongben throwing dirty water on herself?
However, what Nie Xiaoqian didn't expect was that Li Mengru and Luo Kai's reactions were much calmer, with a hint of strangeness in their expressions, and they didn't follow her to scold Hongben, a shameless villain.
Nie Xiaoqian's puffed up breath suddenly let out a lot, and asked in wonder, "Did I say something wrong?"
Li Mengru smiled bitterly: "Xiaoqian, things are not as simple as you imagined..."
Nie Xiaoqian was a little confused: "Why isn't it simple?"
Li Mengru sighed and said, "They want to pull us into hype..."
Wang Hongben angrily attacked Acorn.com in his blog and criticized "competitors", not to seek so-called justice, but to force the speculation of "Extras" when the box office was unfavorable, hoping to recover the decline.
Even if the decline is irreversible, it is good to fool a few more audiences into entering the theater.
This hype method is very low-cost, but the effect is quite good, and he used his popularity to directly climb the popularity list of the blog, and successfully create a controversial hot topic.
In the final analysis, it's about building momentum for your own film.
Li Mengru explained: "Now Wang Hongben definitely wants to see Acorn.com fight with us in the ring, he is acting in cross talk sketches, his mouth is the most sharp, the more noisy the more energetic the master, not afraid of big things, the more lively the better." ”
"So..."
Luo Kai interjected: "If we pick up his stubble, we will fall into his trap, he must have prepared a lot of tricks waiting for us, just wait for us to bump into him and deal with him, then his goal will be achieved." ”
He has struggled in the reborn world for 20 years, and he knows all kinds of entertainment industry well, although the world is different, but people's hearts are the same, so he saw through Wang Hongben's tricks at a glance.
Nie Xiaoqian was dumbfounded when she heard this: "Is there anything like this?"
After all, she is not a real person in the entertainment industry, and she knows very little about these routines.
"There's more to it than that..."
Li Mengru said: "Now he wants to hype up unilaterally, and some of the two sides have discussed it together, scolding each other like enemies of life and death on the surface, but in fact, they are just making a show to stir up the heat." ”
"And those media are all afraid that the world will not be chaotic, even if they know that it is acting, they are happy to pretend to be confused, as long as they give money, they can help fan the flames, otherwise how can they make headlines?"
Nie Xiaoqian was speechless: "Then what should we do?
She is not a big-chested woman, her previous anger and impulse just stemmed from not knowing enough about the shady scenes in the circle, and now that she knows the other party's scheme, of course it is impossible to be stupid anymore.
"To each his own play..."
Luo Kai replied for Li Mengru: "We don't need to follow his rhythm, at present, the box office and reputation of "Chasing the Murderer" are good, we will increase publicity efforts, and it is better to slap the face with the box office than anything else." ”
After a pause, he said, "Or let's hype it up with him." ”
The stage was set up by Wang Hongben, he is undoubtedly looking forward to someone coming on stage to play with him, if Dream Media is willing to jump up and sing with him with a red face and white face, everyone tacitly hype together, and they can also earn a lot of attention.
Nie Xiaoqian exploded when she heard it: "We don't hype up with this kind of person!"
She felt disgusted when she looked at Wang Hongben, the sharp-beaked monkey was slippery, and she was not a good person at first glance!
"It's right not to hype..."
Luo Kai smiled: "We don't need to use this kind of trick and go our own way with dignity." ”
Nie Xiaoqian was still a little unwilling, and said hatefully: "It's too cheap, this guy!"
Cheap?
Luo Kai and Li Mengru looked at each other - how could it be so cheap!
If you don't bother with Wang Hongben now, it doesn't mean that you will be safe in the future, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, whether it is Luo Kai or Li Mengru, they will not mind throwing a stone into the well where the other party fell into the water.
But there is no need to say these words to Nie Xiaoqian, so as not to destroy the image of the two in her mind.
In fact, it is not only Dream Media that sees through Wang Hongben's hype tricks, as the direct party to the incident, Acorn.com issued a statement on the night of the 3rd.
The content of the statement is very simple, Acorn.com responded to Wang Hongben's accusation very formulaically, saying that there is no problem with its own scoring system, and the level of the score is determined by the audience, and no large-scale scoring phenomenon was found after technical investigation.
In fact, Acorn.com has also encountered criticism of ratings from relevant parties before, including executives of film and television companies, star artists starring in them, and of course, the most are directors.
Some of them spoke fiercely, and even sent a lawyer's letter to fight a lawsuit with Acorn.com, but the result was all unresolved, and none of them really went to court.
Therefore, the reaction of the acorn network can be described as cold, so he almost pointed at Wang Hongben's nose and said: Do you want to hype?
Interestingly, on May 4, the rating of "Chasing the Murderer" on Acorn rebounded to 8.2 points, while "Extras" continued to fall to 2.1 points, and it was about to fall to the floor.
The lowest score of Acorn.com is 1 point, and there are very few film and television dramas within 2 points.
So some people believe that this is an implicit counterattack by Acorn.com.
And Wang Hongben was noisy, and some media followed suit, but neither Acorn.com nor Dream Media ignored it, and the box office of "Extras" was irretrievable, so it finally died down.
In stark contrast, although the box office of "Chasing the Murderer" also continued to decline as the holiday ended, it has remained strong in word-of-mouth.
