It's a world full of strife, and no one can tell whose interests a blockbuster might touch, and this is not a spontaneous smear situation like Bill Rothes said, this circle is neither the first time it has happened, nor the last, and no one can count how many times it has happened since Hollywood was soaked in commerce.

For example, Taylor Swift, whom he once met, everyone knows that there have been countless bloody things with Katie Perry later.
Of course, it is difficult for others to tell whether these two people really smear each other, or reach a tacit agreement to deliberately hype up and create topics.
Murphy suddenly thought of someone, "Bill, could it be Leonardo DiCaprio?" ”
People like him have never minded seeing the fierce competition in Hollywood with the worst of their eyes, and his experience over the years has taught him that this is anything but a pure circle.
It is true that such thoughts are somewhat paranoid, but the thoughts of saints are definitely not suitable for Hollywood.
"Probably not." Bill Rothes shook his head, "As far as I know, Leonardo DiCaprio would love to repair his relationship with you, and he doesn't have any competition with you this awards season, and there's nothing to be gained by doing something like this." ”
Murphy thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and agreed with Bill Rothes's statement.
The contradiction between him and Leonardo DiCaprio is not a battle of will, but a conflict of interests.
Bill Rothes took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Murphy, "I guess it should be a director or crew who is also interested in being nominated for an Oscar, and belongs to a professional black fan." ”
When Murphy took the information, he added, "This is my latest collection of negative reviews, a lot like the handwriting of professional black chalk." ”
Opening the material, Murphy took a quick look at it, and unlike the spontaneous voices on the Internet who didn't like his films, these negative reviews were not insulting accusations, but rather analyzed one by one, and looked very convincing.
"The Wolf of Wall Street is a long-winded bad movie, and of course I say this for a reason!"
"First of all, the script, Murphy Stanton's choice of subject matter is very good, but there is no story of the beginning and end, no final outburst, and it tells the life of a stock scammer."
"The second is the soundtrack, none of the soundtracks are brilliant, and I should even say that they are terrible, which is the weak point of all of Murphy Stanton's films."
"Then there are the supporting roles, and I found a lot of cute characters who looked like doughnuts to play the supporting roles, and turned a film full of money sins into a declining comedy."
"There are also lines, the lines of Robert Tang's speech are really wordy, and it is not shouting loudly that can set off the emotions of the scene."
"In the end, there is a boring voiceover, and the voiceover from time to time interprets the inner state, which is really not like Murphy Stanton's style, I don't know which literary film director is coming......"
After just reading a few articles, Murphy agreed with Bill Rothes' opinion, "What about our fan team? ”
The best way for this kind of thing is not for the main creators to jump out and say something, which will only get darker and darker, but to let the general public who support him stand up and suppress these negative news with a higher voice.
"I've asked the company to notify the Los Angeles Fan Association." Bill Rothes said, "They've launched it today. ”
Murphy nodded, "Can you find out who raised these black fans?" ”
Bill Rothes shook his head, "It's hard. ”
Holding his chin with one hand, Murphy thought about it, now that the times are different, do you want to set up a more professional black powder team?
According to his understanding, in Hollywood, many first-line stars or high-profile directors who stand in front of the stage almost all raise black fans.
Most of the well-known figures in Hollywood have great fame, and in this case, liking or disliking in the public will be infinitely magnified, and the expression of this "dislike" in various words is black powder.
However, not all black fans are what Murphy calls specialized black fans.
For example, passers-by are black, and the other side of the Pacific Ocean is also called keyboard warriors, this group is relatively large, and black celebrities are a bit freewheeling. For example, if a friend of a public figure dies and the public figure does not post a blog post or tweet to mourn, then the strong sense of morality in the passerby's black heart will drive him to severely condemn the public figure.
Of course, passers-by often have no principles, and as soon as the limelight turns, they can turn black to fans, relatively speaking, the combat effectiveness is not strong.
There is also a kind of professional black, this one is amazing, and it can be divided into several subcategories. One is the blackening, they can't control their disgust with a celebrity, and they spontaneously, organically and systematically blacken the star. For example, he often maliciously brushes negative reviews of the star's works to guide passers-by with negative comments, or analyzes the past history of a celebrity, and deeply peels off the skin, which can be called the "Sherlock Holmes" of the black fan world.
The other is that this profession is black, this is a fighter in the black powder, they often collect money to do things, work on the assembly line, receive money from the owner, and splash dirty water according to the instructions of the owner.
This profession is usually not paid attention to, and many people think that whether it is black powder or iron powder, it is naturally formed, but in fact, only Murphy knows, there are always thousands of people in Los Angeles who are engaged in similar professions.
A few thousand refers not to the number of black powder or iron powder, but to a head similar to this kind of studio, which can also be called a powder head.
There is a saying on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, as long as you are willing to work hard, even if you are a black fan, you can do a career.
For example, Bill Rothes once mentioned to Gal Gadot that earning more than 100,000 dollars a month is not uncommon in the black powder world.
For professional black fans, a comment or a retweet is about twenty cents, and if you add some opinions and some literary style, then the fee is about fifty cents.
Although the unit price is low, it is better than the volume of business, and don't forget, this is the city of angels where the stars are gathered, and you can meet some famous Hollywood actors if you walk around in a slightly better location.
According to Murphy's understanding, black powder has become an industrial chain, and once the business reaches a certain amount, some professional black fans will not do it themselves, and will pull some downlines, often mainly school students.
First of all, they compile the copy, go down the line to receive tasks from various information groups, distribute them to various communities, and both sides settle wages on a daily basis according to the workload.
Downlines with strong 'combat effectiveness' usually have hundreds of accounts, and although they can only get a few cents for posting one, they may still earn tens to hundreds of dollars a day.
Such black fans look good, but they are not safe, and they are likely to be exposed, resulting in burning.
Therefore, almost all Hollywood A-list stars with strong financial resources raise 'professional' black fans.
The black fans hired with money are not easy to use, and there is a risk of being exposed. Therefore, "raising" the black powder army has long been an open secret in Hollywood circles.
For example, some celebrities will spend money to support some very close fans to perform the work of black fans on their behalf, which can save costs and make it more difficult to be caught.
This kind of fans have a clear division of labor, and some will lurk in the fan base of competitors to spy on the military and sow discord, and the most important thing is to grab some handles as black material; Others organize followers to hack competitors on forums and social networking sites.
Just like Black Murphy and "The Wolf of Wall Street", name-calling is the lowest end of the method, they generally have someone to collect black material, organize a writer to write a long article, throw out a topic, and then arrange follow-up, targeted revelations, and guide passers-by to point of view.
Subsequently, Murphy exchanged his thoughts with Bill Rothes, who believed that raising black powder was still necessary.
"Now that social networks are developing at a high speed, the Internet has become a completely uncontrollable element." He gave his own advice, "Even if you don't take the initiative to attack others, raise some black fans at least to quickly do Internet crisis public relations when you are attacked by competitors." ”
Bill Rothes paused for a moment and then said, "Also, if you want to make a difference in the awards season in the future, if your competitor has a scandal and let the black fans fuel the fire, it's a good opportunity to improve your chances of winning." ”
After thinking about it, Murphy nodded lightly, a few years ago, Julia Roberts was involved in a scandal, five or six actresses of the same level as her, and at the same time sent black fans to the well, grabbed contracts and endorsements, not only did it happily, but also gained a lot.
In this regard, the higher the level of Hollywood celebrities, the more willing they are to spend money.
As I said before, fans need to operate, not to mention the professional black fan team to be established, Murphy alone invests nearly two million dollars a year in the operating expenses of fan organizations like the Los Angeles Fan Association, of which a quarter is used by the CAA to train the heads of these fan associations on how to effectively support Murphy.
Among his previous fans, Murphy naturally handed over the work of absorbing and cultivating black fans to Bill Rothes and CAA, and simply asked Bill Rothes a few basic questions about how to cultivate black fans.
It is not easy to cultivate into a "high-quality" black fan.
In the words of Bill Rossius, even if you are a black fan, you must be a black fan with ideals and feelings.
So, it is necessary to distinguish it from the "brainless trolls" on the Internet.
This is not something that everyone can do, first of all, we must love the Internet and entertainment, both of which are indispensable, if you are humorous, good at Internet language, and so black that it is reasonable and evidence-based to make people unable to refute it, you will inevitably be able to win the side of many passers-by, and naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
With such a team, coupled with years of training in the Internet water army, Murphy believes that in the future, he will not fall behind in an Internet war of words with anyone.
Sunday's day ended in a lot of distractions, and a new weekend box office statistics Monday is coming. (To be continued.) )
