Chapter 556: The Water Army Strikes
"Rest assured, Mr. Faisal, this is just the first day of box office. There will definitely be some superstitious Leila who want to see what kind of movie she makes again. But in two days, it will be different, as long as more people know that it is a 'bad movie', her box office will naturally plummet!" Joseph forced out a smile and said something ambitious that even he didn't quite believe.
"How can I rest assured?" Faisal sneered: "You said that as long as you are given enough money and enough rights, you can make a better movie than her, and what is the result?
As a result, the box office is only one-third of the other party's!
Joseph wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "I think this is all the reason why she is too good at publicity." You see, every time she comes out with a movie, there will be a lot of topics around her, and she doesn't even need to spend money on publicity, so naturally there are a large number of media to help her hype. ”
"So you're accusing me of not giving you enough money to promote it?" Faisal squinted dangerously at him, threatening to strangle him if he dared to answer "yes."
Joseph also knew in his heart that unless he was crazy, he would definitely not answer like that.
"Of course not! We definitely have a lot of investment, but they have more favorable conditions than us, and a Moran Media Group can help her make too much publicity!"
The Moran Group, which owns a number of media including television stations, newspapers, and newspapers, has no shortage of publicity. It costs a lot of money to promote other movies, but as long as Lyra moves her mouth, she will immediately have the best layout and the hottest program schedule for her, which no one else can compare.
Faisal didn't think so, and if publicity was really that useful, why shouldn't other big film studios have the media to talk to, but now is not the time to talk about it, they have to find a way to defeat each other if they don't want to be completely crushed!
"Go reach out to those people, I don't want to see any more reviews touting her. He waved his hand and impatiently asked Joseph to leave.
Joseph was very unhappy that such a "great director" as he was being treated like a grandson, but what he saw in front of him was a thigh that couldn't be thicker. The most offended thing in Hollywood is these big financiers, whoever has money anywhere is the boss, and if you are rich enough to worship him as a god like Faisal, it's no problem!
"I see, so I'm going to contact those people now. He laughed dryly twice before leaving the office.
The so-called "those people" are some who collect money to write film reviews like Cooper, and some are organizations similar to water armies. In short, they were asked to do two things, first, to discredit Leila's film, and second, to praise Joseph's movie!
In fact, this kind of thing is not unusual, the "black greeting" from Cooper, Laila has been numb by the attack. It's really boring to take it out to make herself laugh, and in terms of the water army, she really hasn't been afraid of anyone. With experience in later generations, she already had her own exclusive water army not long after the beginning of the Internet.
Otherwise, do you really think that those people who help her hype up on major websites, forums, and chat rooms are spontaneous? The reason why she has not been noticed is mainly because her strength is enough to make people feel that the praise of those trolls is true and credible. Try it for a bad movie, and it will not be long before it is seen through.
It's not the same as it used to be a few years ago, how can people who often mix on the Internet not even see this kind of superficial question?
Joseph's contacts were efficient, and that night the Internet was flooded with posts smearing Leila's film.
"Botched hype: Can a children's movie surpass Star Wars?"
"A story without nutrition, only falsehood"
Why should I waste more than an hour watching such a boring movie?"
Does anyone really think Harry Potter is good-looking?
Various denigrating posts appeared one after another. There are two main places where they sprayed: First, the box office of the premiere was too fake, and they were able to beat "Star Wars Prequel" with a children's movie! Who made Star Wars? George Lucas! Leila is amazing, but can she be compared to the great director Lucas? To put it mildly, when director Lucas made a movie, she wasn't even a cell!
The second point is the spray type. thinks that no matter how much money is made from children's movies, it is impossible to win so much. That's more than 30 million, which is more than the box office of many movies combined.
Louise received the news not long after those posts appeared, and informed Leila as soon as possible: "Are we going to deal with it?"
"No, I don't. Leila smiled and waved her hand, "Don't worry, it's not bad enough for us to do anything." ”
But ...... if it is smeared, what if someone really believes that their movie is a bad movie?
Leila smiled, "Do you think their words are true?"
"Of course not! Our movie is great!"
"That's it. Since what they say isn't true, do we need to deal with anything? How many people do you think will believe them?"
Louise sighed. She really couldn't learn Laila's calm and breezy attitude. Every time she saw that she was not worried at all, but she was in a hurry, she also felt a little embarrassed. But when encountering this kind of thing, don't ordinary people usually want to get their innocence for themselves? Why is she not worried at all?
That's right, the words of those with ulterior motives are very false, and there may be many people who can see through their deliberate smearing. But what if some people believe it? Wouldn't those people lose the box office?
Seeing her tangled look, Leila knew that she still had to say a few words of comfort, otherwise she wouldn't know how to be entangled.
"Let's put it this way. The average person will see such a post and will have three attitudes, 'believe', 'don't believe', and 'it's my'. Those who don't believe it will definitely account for the largest number of people, after all, people who are often on the Internet are well aware of these little tricks. And there are two kinds of people who believe it, "It looks like this movie is terrible, I should not watch it" and the other is "Is it really that bad?" ’”
"So what?" Louise felt as if she understood something.
Lyra spread her hands, "So we don't have to worry about it at all." Wouldn't it be better to let the audience find an answer for themselves?"
How are they going to find that answer?
