Chapter 31 The First Generation of Internet Water Army
On September 7th, shortly after the opening of schools across the country, the campuses that had been quiet for a summer were lively and jubilant again.
Tang Wei, a freshman who had just come to report on Chinese opera, had been in class for less than a week, so he took a month's vacation from the school.
Because of this, she quickly became famous among the freshmen.
This year's freshmen of Chinese opera spontaneously formed a button group, which is a very popular chat software now, and almost all young people have a button number.
Everyone is usually idle, and often chats about gossip in the group, chatting about mountains, fishing girls, and hooking handsome guys.
"That one is called Tang Wei, does anyone know him? I heard that she took a big vacation, and she was too bold, she wouldn't just start school and take private work outside. ”
"She's in our class, and I've seen her go to class three times, and each time she comes and goes without a trace."
"It's so good-looking... Drooling (emoji)"
"Don't you know? She is already the heroine in the movie, and I heard that the movie is going to be released recently, so she is very busy. ”
"Wow, that's amazing! What movie is it?··· Question mark (emoji)"
"The Butterfly Effect", the screenwriter is Gu Zhi. Some time ago, there was a lot of hype, the director seems to be called Ning Hao, a student of Beiying next door, and said that he wants to surpass Feng Xiaogang... Taunt Face (Emoticons)"
"I heard that this is a science fiction movie, and the main creators are all newcomers."
"Hmph, what kind of good book can a third-rate writer like Gu Zhi write, and it's science fiction, I think it's a dream."
"Gu Zhi didn't even graduate from high school, and he can still write science fiction, it's really funny... Pick your nose (emoji)"
"Why is our classmate Gu a third-rate writer, have you read his books? The total global sales of his new book "Those Years" have exceeded 700,000, and his works have occupied the first place in the book sales list for a year in a row!!. Roar (emote)"
"That's right! If you haven't seen Gu classmates, don't talk nonsense, otherwise you will seem to be very uneducated. ”
"I will definitely go to the cinema to support Gu's movie, I don't know when "Those Years" will be made into a movie... drooling (emoji)"
"I'll go too!"
"I'm going too!"
“···”
"A group of brainless fans, Huaguo can't make science fiction movies at all, and the exam-oriented education from childhood to adulthood has long stifled our thoughts, it's strange to be able to make science fiction movies, dream! Pick your nose (emoji)"
"It's just that what can't even be photographed by an island country, how can Huaguo be able to shoot it, it's ridiculous... Laugh (emoji)"
“···”
"Do you know Science Fiction World magazine? Have you seen the above work? Have you seen The Butterfly Effect? If you haven't even seen it, you're here to make nonsense and curse casually, what qualifications do you have to shout here? ”
"I guess the person who scolded Gu hasn't read his book either, right? It's really a bunch of unqualified guys, pulling down the average level of freshmen in Chinese opera. ”
"Quit... Vomit, bombs, smiles (all emoji)"
The user "Shi Yu" quit the 2000-level Chinese opera freshman group.
···
The withdrawal of a newcomer does not affect everyone's discussion, and around Tang Wei, Gu Zhi and "Butterfly Effect", there is still a heated discussion in the buckle group.
And not only in the freshman group of Chinese opera, but also in the freshman group of Beiying, Shangju, Beijing Normal University, Renmin University and many other colleges and universities are discussing Gu Zhi and "Butterfly Effect".
Even more than the freshman group, as long as it is a buckle group, there will be people who will inexplicably come out with rhythm and lead the topic to "Butterfly Effect" or Gu Zhi.
Whether it's scolding or liking, in short, the topic of discussing "Butterfly Effect" has suddenly become a mainstream voice.
The culprit of all this is Gu Zhi.
After Gu Zhi learned that he was going to compete with two strong opponents on the same stage, he was not angry, so he simply didn't do anything, instead of relying on the uncertain publicity resources of China Film, it was better to use his influence in Penguin to engage in network marketing.
More precisely, it should be button marketing.
At this time, the netizens on the Internet are still relatively simple, and the group chat is also a new feature that has just emerged, and the people who join the group will not be suspicious, basically as long as you apply, you can join the group.
Gu Zhi took advantage of this rustic shortcoming, communicated with the penguin's internally, spent 50,000 yuan, and invited 200 sailors on the buckle, 10 yuan a day per person.
They lurked into various buckle groups, and their daily task was to think of ways to provoke topics related to "Butterfly Effect" in the group, which continued until it was released.
Originally, Gu Zhi was worried that 10 yuan a day was too little, but he didn't expect that many people soaked in Internet cafes every day, and 10 yuan was just enough for their Internet expenses for a day, and the result was that many people couldn't grab this job.
These people are the earliest group of water armies on the Chinese Internet.
Gu Zhi later pulled this group of sailors into a buckle group, and decided to prepare well, it is estimated that there will be many places where they can be used in the future.
The development of the Chinese network is too fast, the network is the biggest propaganda front, and if you don't occupy it, it will be occupied by others.
Therefore, in terms of cultivating a water army, it is incumbent on Gu Zhi.
···
Today is the day when China Film held a "Butterfly Effect" viewing party, because it is an internal activity of China Film, there are no idle personnel, only the main creator of the film, several China Film bigwigs, including Han Sanping, and two leaders of radio and television also came to the scene.
This time, China Film specially invited the leaders of radio and television to come over and control the tone, and after watching the movie, they will directly send "Butterfly Effect" to radio and television for review.
After all films are produced, they must be reviewed by radio and television, and if there are clips that violate the regulations, they need to be edited and modified again, or even remade in the furnace, otherwise they will not be released.
In addition to Gu Zhi, Ning Hao, Tang Wei, and Liu Ye, the main creators of the film present today also include Zhang Yishan, Yang Zi, and several supporting roles and core staff of the crew.
Now Gu Zhi is still a little apprehensive in his heart, although the deduction marketing that has lasted for many days has made him a lot more steady, but when the film is really reviewed by others, he still has some gains and losses.
Ning Hao, Tang Wei, and Liu Ye are even more so, they don't know what Gu Zhi is doing on the Internet, and now they are all worried that the bigwigs present will be dissatisfied, and they have been tightening a string in their hearts, and they dare not relax in the slightest.
The screening soon began, and the screening room fell silent.
The first thing that appeared on the screen was the four big words "butterfly effect", and then the names of director Ning Hao, producer Han Sanping, Gu Zhi, producer Fang Zhongying, and a series of crew members appeared in turn.
Immediately afterwards, a sentence appeared in the center of the screen, "It is said that such a small thing as a butterfly flapping its wings may eventually cause a hurricane in the opposite hemisphere." -- Chaos Theory"
In the next second, the subtitles disappeared and the movie officially began.
After 1 hour and 55 minutes, "The Butterfly Effect" ends in its entirety.
Just after the film ended, several bigwigs and leaders in the audience consciously applauded and did not hesitate to applaud. Then everyone stood up and applauded enthusiastically, and the sound of popping resounded throughout the screening room.
The main creators, whose faces had been tense, were smiling one after another, and Ning Hao was so excited that tears were about to flow down.
"It's amazing! I didn't expect you, a team of pure newcomers, to really make such a high-quality movie. To be honest, when I decided to vote, I really didn't expect you to make this movie so well and with such a high degree of completion! That's great! ”
Han Sanping took Ning Hao and Gu Zhi's hands, and couldn't stop praising them.
The two of them couldn't even talk from ear to ear, and they couldn't even speak.
Immediately afterwards, Han Sanping turned his head to the current chairman of China Film and said: "Boss, how is it, I finally didn't disappoint you!" ”
The gray-haired boss nodded solemnly,
"It's a rare good movie, and it has the flavor of a Hollywood commercial film. Domestic films can't only have trophies and no box office. You young people have done a great job and made our country's own science fiction films, which is a shot in the arm for the domestic film market.
You can rest assured that China Film will definitely support you. If you have any new ideas in the future, just try more, the film industry needs fresh blood like you to join. ”
Gu Zhi nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, boss, domestic films will definitely enter the era of commercial films in the future, we can't rest on our laurels and let our own market become the box office of Hollywood movies in vain." ”
The main creators chatted with several bigwigs and the leaders of radio and television for a while, talking and laughing with each other, and they were so happy.
Han Sanping looked at this group of energetic young people, and his heart was already happy.
They are the future of the Chinese film industry!
