"Hey, Andy, you see, there are also fans in China who come to see my movies and write movie reviews. ”

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

"You're a superstar in China, isn't that normal?" Andy wasn't surprised at all, this was the reaction that a first-line A coffee should have.

Gan Jing smiled, although it was not the first time he had encountered such a situation, he felt good every time he saw him, this is the recognition of fans, well, although some film reviews write criticism content, as long as it is reasonable and reasonable criticism, he doesn't feel anything.

There are a thousand Hamlets for every thousand readers, and that's normal.

"Andy, black tea or coffee?" the assistant picked up the documents that the two had brought back and asked for a drink.

"Black tea. Andy expressed his gratitude, he attended the premiere of the evening today, but it was not idle during the day, and now he is really tired.

Gan Jing reluctantly took a cup of black tea after he signaled that he needed a cup of coffee and was refused, and then he was still watching the movie review with great interest.

"Padana" is a film that aims to win awards, and it is also a rare film that allows Gan Jing to not need to pay attention to the box office, it needs 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 are the comprehensive reactions generated by these aspects are the word-of-mouth of a movie.

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

This is part of the reason why the Oscars cost money.

"Eh, this is written by a film critic I know, and it has a lot of likes. "Gan Jing flipped through twice and saw a familiar name," she said, adding that Forrest Gump always treats the work with the most devout attitude towards the film. ”

Gan Jing raised his head and smiled, looked up shyly, and said to the other two in the room: "Oh, the evaluation is too high, the evaluation is too high, I dare not be ashamed, I dare not be ashamed." ”

Andy glanced at him, turned on his mobile phone video, and replied casually: "I didn't say you dare to be." You should now take a look at the evaluation of the United States, after all, it is the reputation here that determines the tendency of the Olympic Awards and the strategy of Paramount. ”

Gan Jing touched his chin and nodded seriously: "Makes sense." "Just now I was used to watching the domestic response, but in fact, I have to admit that the influence of the domestic audience is relatively small.

He clicked the mouse and clicked on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, the two most influential film review websites in the United States, where there are already many movie reviews.

The current ratings on both sides are currently about the same, IMDB is 8.5 points, and Rotten Tomatoes is 90% fresh, both of which are still in the stage where the film is still slightly higher when it is first released - if the quality of a film is too poor, it will also be low to a certain extent, and 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 are already comparing "Padana" and "Focus", hey, let's compare the chances of these two films hitting the Oscars." ”

Andy's eyes moved away from the video connection with his wife, and asked with concern, "How is it?"

Awen, who was brushing domestic film reviews on the side, also got closer.

Gan Jing read word by word: "Both films have surprised me, and as an audience who likes this aspect of realistic themes, I am very happy to see two good films at the same time this year." However, if I had to choose, maybe "Focus" would have given me a greater impact and shock. ”

Gan Jing took a breath and continued: "After all, we all know that money in the entertainment industry is not so normal, there are too many bad movies every year, but the filthiness in religion is not so easy to think of. If I had the right to vote this year, I would undoubtedly vote for Spotlight. ”

Andy frowned and said: "Sure enough, "Focus" is more dominant 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 it yet, there is another sentence, and this person wrote one sentence at the end! He wrote, I'm sorry, Forrest Gump!"

Andy: "......"

Arwen: "......"

It sounds like this person is still a fan of Forrest Gump, at least, a passer-by fan.

But even so, he still chose "Focus".

Although it is not a sampling under big data, such a film review content can already be seen.

"I don't know if Paramount will change its strategy, if you really want to win the best movie review, the whole crew can only speak up for the platform, and if you lose in the end, the impact will not be good. Andy was a little worried.

"If the people of Paramount are not blind, they should be able to make the right choice. Gan Jing continued to scroll down, and found that the reviews under this film review were almost eighty-two, and 80 percent of them agreed with the author's reason for choosing "Padana" - "Padana" is a good work, but unfortunately it met "Focus", which is more sensitive to Americans.

"People are certainly not blind, but I am afraid that some people are selectively blind for personal gain, and it is not unusual for anything to happen in this kind of company. Andy said lightly in a passer-over tone.

Gan Jing was silent, this really has to be guarded against.

The number of movie reviews on the Internet has gradually increased, and Gan Jing has been watching it at one o'clock in the morning, and he has watched almost all of them, and found that the closer the film reviews are to the movie's first screening time, the easier it is to give good reviews.

He thought about it and understood why.

The box office and word-of-mouth of his previous films are good, and the aura accumulated in this way is actually guided, and some people will be affected by this factor even if they want to have a bad review, after all, people who come up to write movie reviews are often some fans.

When the time is a little later, the group atmosphere weakens, and it is not easy to be sprayed in the dead of night, some remarks that are not quite in line with the overall opinion will appear, and they may not be malicious, but the movie cannot be liked by everyone.

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

In fact, these two hands are easy to hurt face, the former is afraid that he can't fight, and the latter may be regarded as afraid.

Thinking like this, Gan Jing fell asleep unconsciously.

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

"It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight......" Gan Jing was very helpless, took two anti-inflammatory pills after breakfast, and took his assistant and Andy straight to 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 major film review websites, what do you think about this matter?"
