Duane was woken up by a flurry of knocks on the door.

I tried to open my eyes, but I found that my eyelids were sticky, and my eyes were sore and uncomfortable.

"Xiao Du, Xiao Du ......"

The fluttering female voice seemed to come from the Nine Shadows, and it was like a lullaby by the bed on a summer night, listening to this rhythmic whisper, Duane's eyelids became heavy again, and gradually came together, and he was about to fall asleep again.

This voice is somewhat familiar......

Du An thought in a daze, and suddenly a spirit: Isn't this Aunt Shen's voice?

He opened his eyes suddenly, looked in the direction of the door, pricked up his ears, and the voice continued to ring: "Xiao Du, Xiao Du......"

Sure enough, it was Aunt Shen's voice!

Duane rubbed his eyes vigorously, slapped his cheeks twice, forced himself to get up from the bed, walked over and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Aunt Shen.

Du An was about to speak, but he first unconsciously yawned "Ah ......", and then asked, "Aunt Shen, is there something wrong?"

Shen Huifang looked at Du An's messy chicken feathers and reddened eyes, and said with concern: "You kid, what time did you come back last night? Didn't you get off work at ten o'clock?......" After caring for a long time, she remembered her business and pointed in the direction of the phone in the living room, "Your girlfriend is looking for you." ”

Girlfriend?

Du An, who had just been woken up and was still in a daze, was stunned for a while before he realized who Shen Huifang was talking about.

"Aunt Shen, how many times have I said it? She is not my girlfriend, the two of us are just friends. ”

As he spoke, he walked over to answer the phone, and Aunt Shen chattered behind his back: "Yes, yes, it's just friends, Zhen Zhen and her father always said 'we're just friends' when they talked about friends." But Xiao Du, why have you never seen your 'friend' come to see you? Don't be suspicious of your aunt, you've lived with me since you graduated, and I've treated you like half a child, so you should always care about it......, right?

Du Ann smiled bitterly and said a few perfunctory words before picking up the phone.

"What's the matter?"

Shu Yu's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Half past eleven, Old Yan Yuguan, I have something to do with you. ”

Du An was confused, and let out a casual "oh", and was about to ask you what happened to Shuyu, but the other end had already hung up the phone.

Duane stared at the phone for a long time, then put it down, and the whole person was cramped on the sofa, and sighed: "Alas......"

Yesterday he tossed until three or four o'clock in the evening, and he originally wanted to get up at one o'clock today to go to work, but now it seems that it will not be.

Lao Yan Yuguan Du An knew that when he returned to Nanyang from Shanghai, in order to celebrate the release of the movie, the two had a meal here. After washing up, getting dressed, and when I came to the Lao Yan Fish Restaurant on Lifu Street, Shu Yu was already there.

Walking to Shuyu and sitting down, Du An's teapot poured himself a cup, drained it in one gulp, and poured another cup, and then asked Shuyu in front of him: "What's wrong?"

Shu Yu didn't answer, and asked rhetorically, "Didn't you sleep well?"

When Duane looked in the mirror, he had already seen his bloodshot eyes, and he could probably tell that he hadn't slept well last night.

He smiled reluctantly, "I had something to do last night, and I didn't sleep until three or four o'clock." As he spoke, he couldn't help but yawn again.

Shu Yu nodded, didn't care about him, and said directly: "Yesterday's box office came out, and the situation was very bad." 47 theaters across the country, two screenings in a row, the total box office is only more than 15,000, not even 20,000. ”

47 theaters screened two, 15,000 box office, the average per show is about 160, according to the current average ticket price of 12 yuan, that is, only 13 people buy tickets to watch the movie per show.

It's worse than what Duane saw yesterday.

"But the good thing is that the audience liked the movie. ”

Du ane was stunned, "You also arranged for someone to watch the scene?"

Shu Yu nodded, "Basically, every distributor will arrange staff to watch the venue at the time of the premiere, one is to observe the audience's reaction and make adjustments, and the other is to check the number of audiences and prevent the theater from cheating on the box office number." ”

"It's too tiring......"

Duane muttered, leaving the question behind and asking, "Then what are you looking for me today?"

"I want to ask if you can do anything?" Shu Yu asked. After a pause, he said: "After all, it's useless just because the audience likes it, and there are too many movies that are not popular." The analysts in the company have also analyzed that according to this situation, the box office of 200,000 yuan can be received this weekend plus next week, and the cost will not be recovered. ”

"If it can be released for three weeks, the cost can be recovered, but according to this momentum, it is obviously impossible for the theater company to continue to put down "Saw Horror" except for the next week after the contract is signed. ”

After speaking, Shu Yu looked at Du An.

She didn't know when she started to rely on Duane so much: maybe after Duane took her place and made the movie successfully? Or after Duane dragged her to Shanghai to make a movie that couldn't be released?

Duane took another sip of water, and then said slowly: "I have a way, I slept so late last night because of this......"

He slowly spoke out his plan.

Shu Yu listened quietly, without saying a word, until Du An's finished speaking, and then expressed his opinion: "It's too vicious, aren't you afraid that you will have a son without an asshole?"

Duane smiled bitterly, "No poison, no husband." ”

Shu Yu pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll find a few people to do this when I go back." ”

"You can do it, but you have to memorize the points I just said, otherwise it may be counterproductive. Duane poured himself tea as he spoke, and halfway through the pouring, his hand movements suddenly stopped.

"I suddenly thought of another trick, listen to it......"

After quietly listening to Du An's thoughts, Shu Yu was silent for a longer time this time, and only after a long time did he say, "You are so bold." ”

Du An's reply to her, "You are not small", and then said: "Anyway, I don't have a lot of debts, I have even done the business of cheating investment, what else do you dare not do? ”

At this time, the dishes came up, and the first dish was the signature dish of Lao Yan Fish Restaurant, grilled fish on the iron plate.

Shu Yu sandwiched the most tender meat on the fish belly with chopsticks, opened his teeth slightly, took a bite, chewed it slowly, swallowed it, and then said: "Haven't you heard a sentence? Capital came to this world, and from head to toe, every pore of it flowed with blood and filth. ”

"They are much more daring than you might think. ”

Duane nodded, "That'll do." After speaking, he looked at the grilled fish, his stomach screamed, and he quickly stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed food with Shuyu.

……

Douban is a community website that just emerged last year, providing information on movies, books, music and other works, both descriptions and evaluations provided by users. Because it was the first site of its kind in the world, it grew rapidly, and by this year it had more than five million registered users.

Douban's most famous section is the movie channel. As long as it is a movie, no matter which country it is in or whether it has been released or not, you can find the page of the movie on it, and a movie like "The Big Man", which has been hyped since the start, has an independent page of the movie before it is released.

Wang Lilun is an old user of Douban, he has registered as a member since Douban was first created, and now he will habitually go to Douban first after eating after work every day, and today is no exception.

As is customary, I opened the movie page and took a look at the recently released movies.

Saw Horror.

The familiar poster came into view, making Wang Lilun smile.

He didn't like to watch movies, but he has been on Douban for a long time, and now he has become a movie lover, and he will go to the midnight show every Friday - this point was specially chosen by him, because there are few people in this show, and he can sit casually, so the viewing experience is also good.

Last night, as is customary, he went to see one, which was "Chainsaw". He was pleasantly surprised by this film, which he had never heard of before and whose cast and crew were not well-known - he still remembers that when he saw Chen Kang, who had been pretending to be dead for a long time, get up from the ground, the feeling of goosebumps all over his body and the excitement of wanting to pee was the first time in his life that he experienced it.

Good movie.

Wang Lilun thought so in his heart, clicked in, habitually glanced at the movie score, and then was stunned.

2.9 points.

He took off his glasses, took the cloth and polished them carefully, put them back on, and looked at them again.

Or 2.9.

"it!"

Wang Lilun jumped up from the chair and yelled, so loud that the friends who shared the house next door were not satisfied, and knocked on the wall to signal him to be quiet.

He has never seen such a low score on Douban, especially since this lowest score happened to a work that is considered a good movie in his opinion.

Wang Lilun took two deep breaths, scolded "Soybean oil (Douban netizens' abbreviation) has tumors in your eyes" while sitting down, dragging the page below to see the evaluation details.

"It's a big bad movie, I almost fell asleep when I saw it. I really don't know what the director is thinking, does he have in his head? I don't even think it's too much to give 1 point. I asked the director named Duane to go and see "Warm Spring", and what people made was called a movie. ”

This is a comment posted by a netizen named "Fanfan", and he gave 1 point - Douban also gives a minimum of 1 point.

Wang Lilun looked at this comment and laughed angrily.

"Warm Spring" was released on a large scale not long after the closing of the film festival, and it is now in its second week. He also went to see it, and the only feeling was that it was "as uncomfortable as eating", so much so that he couldn't hold it anymore when he saw half of it and slipped out.

And now, someone actually compares that piece of to "Saw Horror"?

"The landlord is also appreciating the level of "Warm Spring", and it is understandable that "Chainsaw" is not good-looking, after all, we can't expect a mountaintop cave man to understand the art of film. ”

He typed down the comments, posted, and looked at the other comments.

"I'm an avid movie lover, so I never thought that one day I would spend money to buy a ticket, sit in the theater, and watch a movie while sending messages, I don't know what the director wants to express from beginning to end, the only viewing experience is that I wasted 12 yuan, it is better to watch "Warm Spring" again. Oh, and finally add that it's still quite funny for Han Sheng to cooperate with Jiang Wei to act and pretend to be poisoned, but I'm here to watch a horror movie!"

Wang Lilun continued to follow.

"If it's bad, please give me a specific example, okay? Otherwise, I'll just think you're black for black. ”

dragged it down further, and Wang Lilun suddenly despaired.

It's all 1-point comment posts, and occasionally there are one or two 10-point comment posts in between.

The water army, hacked.

Wang Lilun, who has rich combat experience, suddenly popped up these two words in his mind, and then thought that these two admired "Warm Spring" so much, not like they were specifically here to comment, but like an advertisement, Wang Lilun immediately felt as if he had discovered an amazing secret.

He hurriedly found the page of "Warm Spring", clicked on it, and a bright red number hung on the rating column.

8.3 points.

Burst!

Wang Lilun only felt a tightness in his chest, and a mouthful of old blood almost sprayed on the monitor.

He remembered that Zhang Yi's "The Red Lantern Hangs High" was only 8.2 points, and now a piece of actually got 8.3 points!

shameless, shameless, without professional ethics, morally degenerate...... Wang Lilun cursed incessantly, and returned to the page of "Chainsaw".

Hire a navy to forcibly brush up points, and even step on others to raise his own value - they all say that their peers are enemies, and Wang Lilun has seen it today.

Just when Wang Lilun felt that his righteous anger was about to be uncontrollable, he saw a comment post that gave "Chainsaw Horror" a score of 10, with a very middle title.

The moment of war

This is the title of this review, and when you open it, the opening sentence is sensational.

"Now the most critical moment has come, comrades, stand up!"

Is the end of the world coming? Wang Lilun complained from the bottom of his heart, but he still watched it.

"A lot of people might think I'm sensational, so I'm going to talk about why I'm saying that. ”

"What happened today on the pages of "Chainsaw" and "Warm Spring", I believe most people have seen it. Some people are upset, such as the two who posted the 10-point post below, some people don't care about themselves, hang high, such as me, and some people may move a small bench over to watch the excitement, such as you who are reading the post in front of the computer. The two comrades who fought back were weak and failed, and were drowned in the vast sea of the navy; I felt bored with indifference, so I turned around and left to make dinner; I watched the excitement for two days in a row, and saw that your personal strength could not resist the navy, and after scolding and scolding, I forgot about it and greeted a better tomorrow. ”

So we were raped. ”

"Yes, our will was raped, and we happily forgot about it, waiting for the next rapist. ”

The words were too harsh, which made Wang Lilun restless.

"I have always believed that the Internet is great, this is a free country created by human beings, and Douban is a utopia in this free country. ”

"Freedom, objectivity, seeking truth from facts, this is my impression of Douban, but when I turned away to make dinner, I found that the Douban in my impression has begun to collapse - it is no longer free, no longer objective, no longer seeking truth from facts! It is being played with money! And I can only watch, look indifferently, I can't do anything, my attitude accelerates its collapse. ”

"I can't do anything?"

"No!"

"It dawned on me that I could actually do something, like this. ”

Then there's a photo that shows a movie ticket for Saw Horror.

"I've seen it, and I won't comment on it before I watch it; I give it an 8 points, which is the objective feeling of the audience; I don't deliberately belittle or elevate it, no one can force or rape my will. ”

"This is the spirit of Douban. ”

"I'm going to leave here and go to see a "Warm Spring", and then go back to my home and go to the page of "Warm Spring" to continue the fight, fight against the gangsters, in order to keep this last sacred land away from public power and money unpolluted.

"Even if my strength alone is so weak, but at least this moment. ”

"I'm fighting for freedom. ”

A poem was posted at the end of the comment.

"When they came to arrest the Communists, I didn't stand up against them, I don't think I'm a Communist anyway. ”

"When they came to arrest the Jews, I didn't stand up against it, I don't think I'm a Jew anyway. ”

"When they came to arrest the union organizers, I didn't stand up against it, I don't think I'm a union guy anyway. ”

"When they came to arrest Catholics, I didn't stand up against it, I don't think I'm a Catholic anyway. ”

"Later, when they came to arrest me, there was no one left to speak for me. ”

Wang Lilun silently saw the end, the back of his hand was cold, and when he looked down, a drop of water fell on it.

He was amused by his sensuality, but he couldn't.

Pulling the paper towel next to the monitor, blowing his nose violently, and throwing the paper ball into the paper basket, Wang Lilun suddenly stood up and took his wallet.

For freedom!
