Chapter 276: Word of Mouth and Ratings
The most authoritative movie rating website - watch movies, as we all know, if you want to rate a movie on the website of watching a movie, you must provide the unique code of the movie ticket purchased by the movie, and it is precisely because of this that the movie rating on the movie is the most fair.
If you want to rate a certain movie here, it's not that you can't do it at all, but the cost is too great.
Xie Ling is a white-collar worker, and he has a hobby of going to the cinema to watch movies, because he thinks that the best experience of watching movies is to watch them in the cinema, and watching the same movie on TV and in the cinema are completely different experiences.
But his salary is limited, so he only watches the movies with the best reputation and ratings that have been released recently, and he is a typical fan who only watches good movies and is not obsessed with stars or directors.
If you want him to pay to watch a movie, you have to have a good score and reputation for that movie, otherwise, he won't buy which superstar starred in it or which big director made it.
On the contrary, as long as the reputation and rating of a movie are good, the director of which movie is unknown, even if the leading actor of that movie is not famous, he will be very interested in going into the cinema to buy a ticket to watch it.
Because of this habit, his first girlfriend in college broke up with him, because his girlfriend was a fan of a certain superstar, a few years ago, a film starring that superstar was recognized on the Internet as a bad movie, and the reputation and ratings were ugly.
With Xie Ling's habits, he is absolutely unwilling to spend money to go to the cinema to watch it, but his girlfriend belongs to the kind of brainless fan, the movie made by idols, even if it is made into a piece of, she has to support it.
Xie Ling's IQ is online, and his EQ is also online, so that time he didn't come to his girlfriend and insisted on his principles, between his girlfriend and his principles, he didn't hesitate for a few seconds, he smiled and went to the cinema with his girlfriend to buy two tickets to watch together.
Facts have proved that the public reputation and ratings on the Internet are fair, and that film is really bad, Xie Ling frowned when he saw it, and the embarrassment was about to be committed.
But as long as his girlfriend is happy, he thinks it's okay to endure a bad movie.
But he underestimated the brain-dead level of his girlfriend at the time, obviously the movie was rotten like that, and it didn't count after watching it once, she also asked him to buy two more movie tickets to watch the second time, saying that she wanted to contribute to the box office for the idol to this movie, and she felt sorry for the idol's recent situation.
As I said just now, Xie Ling's EQ is online, and his IQ is also online.
Because his emotional intelligence is online, he knew that the movie was a bad movie, but he still violated his principles and paid to watch it with his girlfriend.
But also because his IQ is also online, so when his girlfriend watched it for the first time and asked him to pay for a second time, he finally couldn't stand it.
Distressing about money is one thing, the most important thing is that he thinks she is too brainless and irrational, he can't stand that he has such a girlfriend, and he is also a little apprehensive in his heart - his girlfriend likes another man more than he likes him, even if that man is a so-called superstar, as a man, Xie Ling can't stand it.
At that time, a hypothesis flashed through his mind - if one day, she came into contact with that big star in reality, would she wish to be able to get into that guy's bed?
Xie Ling's reason knew that such a possibility was extremely small, but he still couldn't stand the result of this hypothesis, because the result he hypothetized, with the degree of brain damage of his girlfriend, was most likely willing.
Anyway, his girlfriend asked for a second brush for her idol, but Xie Ling didn't agree in the end, and then there was no more, she broke up with him.
He has no regrets.
Since then, Xie Ling has never violated his own movie-watching principle for anyone.
Xiang Laowei's new film? starring Yang Qi and Xue Xing? veteran actor Hu Yong, golden statue actor Guo Cheng participated? There are also sweet song queen Hui Shanhong and music king Du Jun participating?
What? And Hollywood superstars Amber Ederson and Bonnie Blanche?
These plus points have indeed aroused Xie Ling's attention to "Sword and Spaceship", and he has been paying attention to it for a long time, since he heard that this movie was established, he has been paying attention to it and is waiting for this movie to be released.
Because his movie-watching experience tells him these pluses, there is a good chance that he can make a good blockbuster.
What kind of film can be made with an investment of 500 million yuan in the hands of Xiang Laowei? Xie Ling, like many people, is also looking forward to it.
But these are not the reasons for him to buy tickets directly to see it.
Although he is looking forward to this movie and is full of curiosity, if the reputation and score of this movie are not good enough, Xie Ling would rather watch other movies with better ratings and reputation.
As for "Sword and Spaceship", wait a month or two, and you should be able to see it on TV.
But......
The above are all ifs, if the rating and reputation of "Sword and Spaceship" are not good enough, he will wait for the movie to be released and watch it on TV.
But now......
Xie Ling looked at the movie website, the rating of "Sword and Spaceship" was as high as 9.3 points, and when the number of comments had exceeded 1,000, his right hand holding the mouse subconsciously touched the mobile phone in his hand.
I wanted to make a reservation by phone.
For bad movies, he abides by his principles, but for good movies, Xie Ling's resistance is almost zero, his eyes are shining, and he is a little excited.
He doesn't love food, nor does he love other things that many other people like, his biggest hobby is watching movies, a wonderful blockbuster, which can let him enjoy it for more than two hours, and after watching it, he can reminisce for a few days.
And this kind of enjoyment and aftertaste can be enjoyed only by paying twenty or thirty yuan.
Cheap and fine!
However, at this time, he was still sane, and suddenly wondered if this was the score of the investor or the issuer?
After all, with the golden sign of Xiang Laowei, coupled with the total investment of up to 500 million yuan in this movie, Xie Ling believes that if the investor and the distributor want to brush up the score, they will definitely be able to do it in the early stage of the movie's release!
Compared with the total investment of 500 million, a little money is not a drizzle?
So, Xie Ling temporarily suppressed the urge to buy tickets, and while reading the comments in the comment area, he continued to wait, waiting for more people to participate in the rating, and when the number of people participating in the rating was a little more, the rating of this movie would be more real.
It is precisely because of this psychology that even if Xie Ling sees almost all the praise and praise in the comment area, he just looks at it coldly.
Half an hour later, he refreshed the webpage again.
The rating of "Sword and Spaceship" really dropped a little, from 9.3 to 9.2, but the number of people participating in the rating was refreshed to more than 10,000 in one fell swoop.
Xie Ling was stunned, more than 10,000 people scored in half an hour, and the average score only dropped by 0.1?
The scales in his heart began to tilt.
He barely waited another half hour to refresh the page again.
9.2!
The average score is still 9.2, but the number of people who participated in the rating is close to 30,000.
Xie Ling couldn't control his unicorn arm anymore, grabbed the mobile phone at hand, and immediately called to book a ticket.
Maybe he was too sensible and waited too long, and he didn't even book tickets for the latest movie, or even the second show after the first show recently.
Regret!
Listening to the two answers of the ticket sales lady on the phone, Xie Ling scratched his head in annoyance, and then did not hesitate at all, and then asked if there were any tickets for the third game?
Today is Christmas, and he has time all day, since it is certain that the reputation and score of this blockbuster are flying, then he must see it today, otherwise he will definitely not be able to sleep at night.
