Chapter 952: Tough Fans

There are two types of IMDB scores, one is the movie score, which is the total score of all audience ratings divided by the number of scorers, and the other is the Top250 score, which is the score of the best 250 movies. The Dark Knight Rises has a rating of 9.3 on IMDB, with IMDB250 rating of 8.8, ranking ninth.

After Zhang Ran's fans poured into IMDB, "The Dark Knight Rises" was quickly brushed to 8.9, and the ratings of other Nolan movies also began to fall, but everyone couldn't brush the IMDB250 scores, and although the ranking of "The Dark Knight Rise" fell to tenth, the score was still 8.8 points.

IMDB250 is Bayesian statistic, with final score = (v÷(vm))×r(m÷(vm))×c. Among them, R, V, M, and C represent the number of voters, active user votes and other data, respectively, and the active users of this algorithm are particularly important.

Zhang Ranfan's IMDB accounts are mostly new accounts and are not active users, and their one-star swiping has little impact on "The Dark Knight Rises" and Nolan's movie ratings in IMDB250.

Of course, the IMDB250 rating is not impossible to brush, among IMDB users, Indians account for 6.3%, behind the United Kingdom and the United States, ranking third. Due to their good English, a lot of Indian movies, and nothing to do, Indians especially like to score on IMDB, and once there were a large number of Indian Indian movies in the IMDB250.

There is a huge difference in tastes between Indian audiences and European and American audiences, and many high-scoring Indian movies are not very good in the eyes of European and American audiences, and they are not interested in Indian films. After Indian movies dominated the IMDB list, Db had no choice but to make a trick: open a separate entry for Indian movies, list Indian movies separately, and let Indians play alone!

Nolan fans fell behind in the confrontation with Zhang Ranfan, and were abused very badly by Zhang Ranfan with emojis, and now they have finally moved back to a city, and they show off their power on social networks: "Zhang Ran's movies are garbage", "Zhang Ran is so pitiful, there is only one movie with a score of more than 8 on IMDB", "The rating of Zhang Ran's movie has dropped again"......

Zhang Ranfan gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do with Nolan powder, and everyone couldn't brush the IMDB score at all.

However, Nolan fans were not happy for long, and the situation suddenly changed. The score of "The Dark Knight Rises" suddenly fell to 8.7, then quickly to 8.6, and then to 8.5, and the film's ranking in the TOP250 also quickly fell from 9th to 54th, and the ratings of Nolan's other films did not stop falling.

Nolan was dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on.

Zhang Ran's fans in China don't fall in love with IMDB and the effect of scoring is not good, but Zhang Ran not only has fans in China, but also in Asia and Europe, and there are a few IMDB users among these fans, and their votes can affect the TOP250 rating.

In addition to Zhang Ranfan, a large number of other fans also participated in the action of giving Nolan a star to the movie. In 08, Nolan fans gave "The Godfather" a star, causing "The Godfather" to lose the IMDB championship, and "The Godfather" fans naturally held a grudge against Nolan. Now Zhang Ranfan has given Nolan a star to the movie, and they have also quickly organized to give "The Dark Knight Rises" and Nolan a star to the movie. In addition, fans of movies such as "Vulgar", "Twelve Angry Men", "Schindler's List", as well as fans who don't like other Nolan and "The Dark Knight Rises" have come to help.

Among these people, there are a large number of active IMDB users, and so many people have concentrated their firepower to brush up on "The Dark Knight Rises" and Nolan movies to brush one star, "The Dark Knight Rises" and Nolan movies can't bear even if they are iron-clad, and the scores will naturally plummet.

This sudden turn of events left American netizens stunned and dumbfounded.

It's really a twist and turn, it's even better than the movie!

For this battle between Nolan fans and Zhang Ran fans, Warner Bros., the producer of "The Dark Knight Rises", is happy. The fan war has not only been talked about online, but has also attracted media attention, not only in newspapers like the New York Times, but also on many television stations.

Fan wars are not hype, but they have a good hype effect.

Warner Bros. Public Relations believes that the company will have to spend at least tens of millions of dollars to achieve the same publicity effect.

However, Warner Bros. is not very happy, "The Dark Knight Rises" has passed the censorship in China and is scheduled for August 27, but now a large number of Zhang Ran fans have united to call for a boycott of "The Dark Knight Rises", and a large number of fans have called the General Administration to demand that "The Dark Knight Rise" be banned. Their reasoning is that Nolan is a Chinese blackman who often smears China in movies.

While Zhang Ranfan was fighting with Nolan fans overseas, he also began to look for Nolan's black spots in China, and they really found it. Soon, a fan specially compiled a post, named "Nolan is a Chinese black", and posted it on Weibo, Tieba, and many online communities.

The post talked about three points: 1: The first batch of Batman helmets in "Batman is Born" were imported from China, and the result was that the graphite content was too high to cause it to be too brittle, and it was made in black China.

2: In "Deadly Magic", there is an old Chinese man who has been disguised as a cripple all his life, and is suspected of smearing Chinese.

3: The criminal tried to assassinate the Two-Face in public, but the pistol jammed. The backhand was subdued. The two-faced man took a gun and said to him, this is a Chinese product, next time it will be an American product. The blackest part is the line "A company with a growth rate of more than 8% is abnormal", which clearly shows that it is blacking China's GDP.

After the post was sent, Zhang Ran's fans frantically liked the post and turned the post into a hot spot, and on Weibo, #Nolan is a Chinese black# was also sent to the top of the hot search list. These contents are not made up by fans, but exist in the movie itself, but no one has specifically mentioned it before. Now that Zhang Ran's fans are making trouble, the whole thing has fermented at once, and many viewers who have not watched "The Dark Knight" have joined the ranks of boycotting "The Rise of the Dark Knight" after seeing the screenshots of the movie, and the Internet is full of criticism and abuse of Nolan.

"I have long found out that Nolan likes black China, and when I first watched "The Dark Knight", I was very angry when I saw those content that alluded to China!"

"I was also very uncomfortable when I saw the "Dark Knight" part, it turns out that everyone is just like me!"

"What are these wastes doing in the General Administration? Many movies are obviously fine, but they can't pass the review, but you have introduced the films of anti-China elements like Nolan one after another! Are you collecting money?"

"Resist Nolan, resist the Dark Knight Rising!"

While attacking Nolan on the Internet, some extreme fans began to call the General Administration to demand that the anti-China director Nolan be banned.

After receiving the news, Warner Bros. China immediately gave feedback to the head office, and Warner Bros. also attached great importance to it.

The Chinese market is huge, and it is entirely possible for "The Dark Knight to Rise" to achieve a box office of 5,600 million. Now so many fans are complaining about "The Dark Knight Rises", in case the movie is really blocked by the General Administration, it will be a loss of tens of millions of dollars for Warner Bros., which they absolutely do not want to see.

In addition to having Warner Bros. do an emergency PR job in the China office and reassure the General Administration that The Dark Knight Rises is not disrespectful to China, the company's CEO, Barry Meyer, also dialed Zhang Ran's phone.

Barry Meyer said very politely: "Mr. Zhang, it is very normal for fans to scold and spray each other, and it is also a kind of propaganda for the movie. But now your fans complain to the General Directorate about Nolan, saying that he is an anti-Chinese director. Nolan is really not an anti-China director, and "The Dark Knight Rises" does not have any disrespect for China. It's normal for fans to have conflicts, but it's really not good to ban each other's movies because of this. Please Mr. Zhang persuade fans to stop this crazy behavior. ”

Zhang Ran has to be busy with the promotion of "Future Apocalypse" these days, and he has to prepare for his new film, and he doesn't know about the fan war. He was very surprised when he heard fans complaining that Nolan was an anti-China director and asked the General Administration to block "The Dark Knight Rises". Zhang Ran knew that Nolan was not an anti-China director, and the content of Nolan's films that hacked China was caused by the pride and prejudice of Westerners.

There are many such stars and directors who are biased against China in Hollywood, and many of them have also made statements attacking China, such as Ben Affleck and George Clooney. It is really not true that these people say that he is anti-China, but their remarks are really disgusting. However, with the rapid rise of the Chinese market in the past two years, especially after "Avatar" achieved an astonishing box office of 1.8 billion, except for die-hard anti-China elements like Mia Farrow, no Hollywood star has said anything more about attacking China. Saying this kind of thing means losing the Chinese market, and in order not to lose the Chinese market, the film company may not choose you when choosing actors, and few Hollywood stars can afford this price.

In fact, this is true not only for China, but also for the whole world. In the 8 and 90s, Hollywood movie villains were all kinds of people, blacks, Soviets, and Arabs. Since the beginning of the new century, the situation has changed, and letting blacks be villains will trigger blacks to protest, so there will be fewer times for blacks to be villains; letting Arabs be villains will cause dissatisfaction among Arabs in the United States, and they will also lose the Middle East market, so Arabs rarely become villains; in the last two years, the Russian market has begun to rise, and in order not to offend the Russian audience, Russians have rarely become villains.

As a result, a particularly interesting change took place in Hollywood films, where financial conglomerates became the antagonists of Hollywood films, and businessmen replaced terrorists as antagonists in Hollywood films.

Zhang Ran told Barry Meyer: "I am definitely against complaining to the General Administration, this kind of behavior is harmful to the entire film industry!"

After hanging up Barry Meyer's phone, Zhang Ran opened Weibo and updated the content: "Everyone supports "Future Apocalypse", and even went overseas to fight with Nolan fans, which makes me very moved. However, it is not good for everyone to complain to the General Administration and ask for the ban on "Rise of the Dark Knight". Today we complained about "The Dark Knight Rises", which caused the movie to not be released normally, and wait until tomorrow others can also complain about our movie, so that our movie cannot be released normally. Everyone complained and complained, and in the end there were not many movies to watch!"

After Zhang Ran's Weibo was posted, fans began to retreat from overseas, and the action to complain to the General Administration about "Rise of the Dark Knight" was quickly stopped.

Nolan Fan breathed a sigh of relief, these plague gods were finally gone, but when they watched the movie score, they couldn't be happy. "The Dark Knight Rises" dropped to 8.2, falling outside the top 100, "The Dark Knight" also dropped to 8.7, dropping from fourth to 24th, and other Nolan films also dropped sharply. Nolan fans want to cry without tears, they all say that we Nolan fans are tough, but Zhang Ran's fans are much tougher than us! They made up their minds that no one can be Zhang Ran in the future, and no one can provoke Zhang Ran's fans!

After Zhang Ranfan withdrew to China, he was quickly attracted by another incident. On the day of the 28th, the London Olympics officially opened, and the domestic public frantically touted the opening ceremony of the London Olympics as a humanistic feast, and at the same time belittled the opening ceremony of the Beiping Olympic Games, saying that the content was empty and had no connotation, and Zhang Ran was hacked together.

Fans have just finished pinching Nolan fans, and the chicken blood in their bodies has not yet dissipated. Now seeing the strange Heibeiping Olympic Games opening ceremony Hei Zhang Ran, he immediately rushed up and sprayed wildly at the public knowledge, so the war between Zhang Ran Fan and the public knew started again.
