Chapter 11 (8/10 Subscription Required)
Liu Cixin?
He is a science and engineering man, writes science fiction, and is not a traffic star, are values so important?
After thinking about it, Shen Ming replied: "I have read most of Da Liu, he is not an author with particularly clear values..."
Da Liu is a writer, and his works have blackened populism, white leftism, centralization, religion, hegemony, terrorism, and corruption...
After "The Three-Body Problem", Da Liu was hacked by all parties in turn, and the gifts were still exchanged...
But at that time, "The Three-Body Problem" was only limited to science fiction fans, and many people really hadn't seen it, so the impact was not very great...
But now that "The Wandering Earth" has been released, many people have proposed 'Liu Cixin Cinematic Universe'...
This is probably the original sin!
"So, you also think..."
"No, Da Liu is the one who wrote it, why are you staring at him?"
Shen Ming interrupted his question.
The reporter choked for a moment, but still asked very politely: "Many netizens feel that if "The Wandering Earth" is screened around the world, it may make the world mistakenly think that the heroes who save the world in the minds of Chinese are some extremely impulsive, naΓ―ve, deranged, and crazy "mental patients"..."
ββ¦ Why?"
"Because the film ignores the value system of the original book, the behavior of many characters becomes difficult to explain, and it is even more difficult to confirm whether it is a traditional Chinese practice or an imitation of Hollywood father-son heroes." β
Shen Ming was a little speechless, looked at the reporter sympathetically, well, the reporter of "Xinjing Daily", and then asked rhetorically: "Have you paid attention to the official Weibo of "The Wandering Earth"?"
ββ¦ Well, yet..."
"Let's go back and take a look, "The Wandering Earth" has been released in 2,200 theaters across the United States, and more than 40 countries and regions around the world have opened simultaneously, with a box office of nearly $12 million on the first day, and an IMDb score of 8.2, the highest in the same period..."
I couldn't help but sigh: "Now the threshold for reporters is so low? I don't even have to do the most basic work of preparing for classes, and it's too easy to make money!"
ββ¦β
The reporter of the newspaper "New Scene" was speechless...
β¦β¦
That's right, the little wrecking ball was indeed hacked!
And there is capital with rhythm ...
The Douban score dropped from 8.3 yesterday to 8.0, and it is still declining!
In the past two days, netizens on Douban have been fighting for "The Wandering Earth", and many people said that "The Wandering Earth" was maliciously smeared, but Douban ignored it;
So, fans went to the app store of their mobile phones and gave bad reviews to the Douban App, and the two sides scolded me and I scolded you, and it became a pot of porridge...
And according to the revelations of netizens, these things are all in the plan, and someone is smearing "The Wandering Earth" in an organized manner!
Facts are also cited, various conspiracy theories ...
When Shen Ming heard this kind of remarks, he felt a little excessive.
Yes, although the little wrecking ball is good, but every movie has brainless trolls, and many times, deliberately giving bad reviews just for fun - he did it too!
Why should it be targeted at you?
As for the score reduction, it is also normal, after all, it is true that there are some parts of the movie that are not good enough...
And the box office of the small wrecking ball is still devastating: on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, it won 480 million box office again, on the fifth day of release, 420 million, on the sixth day, 390 million, on the seventh day, 420 million...
The cumulative box office exceeded 2.8 billion in seven days of release!
The overseas box office exceeded $42 million, and the domestic box office in North America reached $17 million - already very high!
It is expected to take more than $130 million at the box office overseas.
And the reviews are not bad!
Especially Neon and the evaluation of Korean audiences:
"I don't know what they're doing, but it's really awesome!"
"Let's not mention our own movies, we can't compare things for children!"
"The other side is really getting more and more powerful, this level is more Hollywood!"
Two flowers!
But as time went by, Shen Ming had to doubt: Douban's score dropped to 7.9 points, and more and more people poured in to get a big star - the proportion of one star in "The Wandering Earth" is actually the highest value in Douban's 7.5-8 score area, reaching 2.2 percent, generally speaking, movies with more than 7.5 points, one-star evaluation is at most one percent...
And the big V and the media are also down!
"Zha Lang Finance" used seven 'failing' evaluations of "The Wandering Earth" in a row, and said that it was disgusting;
"Xinjingbao" said that "The Wandering Earth" violates the values of the original book'...
Not only that, but some netizens broke the news that some people paid Douban users to change the high praise to a one-star bad review...
Because of the mechanism problem of Douban, the previous 5-star praise has been changed to 1 star, the number of likes will not be emptied, and those who like it cannot cancel their likes!
So it has led to the fact that under Douban's "The Wandering Earth", in the first short reviews, there are basically 1-star bad reviews, and the number of likes is particularly high...
Then, a group of film critics pretended that 'if criticism is not free, praise is meaningless', and exalted "The Wandering Earth" fans who do not allow others to give bad reviews to come out and carry out a public opinion counterattack'...
The first to bear the brunt is the founder Mr. Huang!
Ya said directly, 'Someone asked me how 'The Wandering Earth' was? I didn't dare to watch anything that couldn't be criticized!'
Support your friend Mr. Luo!
Mr. Luo is the director of "Fragments: The Dangerous Way to Capture the Treasure" with a Douban score of 2.5...
A lot of people send these things to Shen Ming...
The reversal of public opinion is too surprising - they were all unanimously praising "The Wandering Earth", but suddenly there are a bunch of high-end players under the banner of 'too nationalism'...
Everyone knows that there must be capital manipulation behind it!
Otherwise, people's idle eggs hurt, and tens of thousands of people come to play one star...
Shen Ming doesn't care very much, seriously, there are so many supporters of a box office trend like Little Wrecking Ball-unless the starring actor cheats or is exposed to drugs, it won't move!
Guo Fan, Gong Ge and others don't care...
On the contrary, if it continues to be fried like this, the heat will be even higher.
β¦β¦
On the 12th, Shen Ming returned to Beijing.
I'm going to attend the "The Wandering Earth" seminar held by the Central Propaganda Department...
What does this mean?
Official support!
He was waiting in the car, Zhao Jinmai and Guo Fan...
I clicked on Weibo a little boringly, thought about it, and posted a paragraph:
Sometimes I really think that you people can't do things, not even smear!
If it were me, I would pay people to play five stars, spend money on the Internet to make a possibility, lick my face and brag about the little wrecking ball.
Then invite an influential writer to trample on the internationally famous sci-fi films to nothing, create a kind of "The Wandering Earth" to catch up with the British super-American review environment, and even characterize all the reviews below four or even five stars as Muyang dogs...
In this way, the purpose of blackness can be achieved!
It's best to find someone to write a big headline before the movie is released, and hype it up along with the movie's promotional work:
For example, "Domestic hard sci-fi is coming, beating Interstellar and killing Marvel Avatar in seconds, and domestic movies have led the trend since then"
You can also take two pictures from the trailer, one is the collective salute of the Chinese astronauts, and the other is Wu Jingzheng sitting in a precarious position, with a righteous and awe-inspiring face, and write a big title: "Wolf Warrior Turns to Space, Saves the Earth, and Defeats Iron Man"...
Like now, one by one will only say that "the earth's material is not enough to support the power of the wandering project", "the continental plate will be torn apart by thrusters", "the global steel production is not enough to build tens of thousands of thrusters"...
It's so weak, I'm blushing for you...
By the way, post a set of data: "The Wandering Earth" overseas box office, $42 million in the first weekend...
