On the Internet, fans of "Dark City" and fans of "The Shawshank Redemption" have started a rating war without gunpowder, and the two sides use IMDB as a position, frequently haunting each other's areas, using the one-star rating in their hands as a weapon, constantly attacking, calling friends and friends with each other,-for-tat, and not backing down. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although "The Shawshank Redemption" failed at the box office when it was released, and then the countless sympathies of the Oscar defeat were added, and the box office was still mediocre when it was released again, but since the middle and late last century, it has been touted by the media and fans and became the masterpiece of IMDB, after more than ten years of online and TV broadcasts, as well as video tape and DVD rentals, it has accumulated a large number of fans, and even formed many fan organizations similar to Christian Franklin.

Organized combat is much more powerful than skirmishers!

Compared with "The Shawshank Redemption", "The Dark City" is not inferior, led by Daisy's IMDB discussion group, plus the Murphy-Stanton Fan Association in New York and Los Angeles and other cities, as well as Murphy's professional black fan organizations, all of which are involved in the war group.

In the past ten years, it is the time period of Murphy's rapid rise, his fans are far younger than the fans of "The Shawshank Redemption", and the appeal established with more than a dozen films has made the range of supporters more extensive.

In short, fans of "The Shawshank Redemption" gave "The Dark City" a low score, and Murphy and "The Dark City" fans are also giving "The Shawshank Redemption" a low score.

However, in addition to the black fan organization and Twentieth Century Fox preparing to hype, Murphy, CAA and Twentieth Century Fox did not put too much power on this, especially the more professional promotion team, which did not directly participate in the war.

With the current momentum of "Dark City", it is not at all that this little entanglement can be delayed, and Twentieth Century Fox is more prepared to create a topic with this, rather than directly participating in it, these disputes between fans, it is enough to have Murphy's fans participate in the war.

Because they are not stupid at all, it may be difficult for outsiders to notice, but Twentieth Century Fox has its own quantitative evaluation, knowing that the number of Murphy's die-hard fans far exceeds that of fans of "The Shawshank Redemption", and the organization is more rigorous, such an online rating war is bound to win and be undefeated.

This IMDB score war between "Dark City" and "The Shawshank Redemption" can be said to be intensifying.

It is inevitable that the two films will hurt each other, and in just three days, even though many fans are scoring high scores for "Dark City", its IMDB rating has dropped to 9.5.

Of course, "The Shawshank Redemption" dropped faster than "Dark City", and in the same three days, the IMDB score of this film dropped directly by 0.2 points, from 9.2 to 9.0 points!

"The Shawshank Redemption" not only dropped two points from "The Dark City", but also lost the runner-up throne on the 250 list, and was surpassed by "The Godfather", from second place to third place.

At a time when the IMDB scores of the two films "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Dark City" are declining, their respective fanatical fans have deliberately voted for a large number of low scores for their opponents for the top position, and by Thursday, the 1-point vote for "The Shawshank Redemption" has quickly risen to nearly 7%, and "The Dark City" is not much better, with a 1-point vote ratio of nearly 4%, but it is as high as 100,000 10 votes, Ensure that the film firmly occupies the first place in the TOP250 ranking with a score of 9.5.

Fans often behave spontaneously and fanatically, and fans of the two films not only scored each other low scores, but also began to attack in their respective comment sections, and even rose to the level of abuse.

For example, fans of "The Shawshank Redemption" angrily called the fans of "Dark City" a group of brainless people who can't distinguish between good and evil!

In this regard, Murphy, who became famous in the Internet era, is much more than the number of nostalgic fans of "The Shawshank Redemption", and the Internet has always been an active position for young people, although Murphy's fans are relatively older, the average age is much younger than "The Shawshank Redemption", even if there are many fanatical people among the fans of "The Shawshank Redemption", After all, it is still impossible to compete with the younger generation on the Internet.

In the following days, the IMDB section of "The Shawshank Redemption" was almost occupied by the tide of Murphy's fans, and the score dropped from 9.0 to 8.8 points, directly falling out of the top five of the TOP250 list!

At the same time, with the call of major fan organizations and the efforts of many fans, "Dark City" stabilized after dropping to 9.4 points.

On the one hand, this is the effort of Murphy fans to brush up on high scores, on the other hand, IMDB's effective rating has certain access rules, and after consuming a large number of effective old users in the early stage, the fan base of "The Shawshank Redemption" is seriously lacking in stamina and begins to be unsustainable.

Seeing "The Shawshank Redemption" drop from second to fifth, a group of people led by Christian Franklin were certainly unwilling.

As a result, fans of "The Shawshank Redemption" chose to expand the area of the war, and some people posed as fans of Murphy and "The Dark City" and began to attack other films in the top 5 of the TOP250, such as "The Godfather", "The Twelve Angry Men" and "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" have become their targets.

In less than half a day, there were a large number of 1-point votes in the ratings of these films.

Then, more fans joined in, and while the fans of "The Dark City" attacked "The Shawshank Redemption", they also went to other film areas to pretend to be fans of "The Shawshank Redemption" to brush up low scores, and the fans of other films did not subdivide, and they all scored low scores for "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Dark City".

Although IMDB originally had a water army that often haunts, the order is quite good, and the behavior of fans this time has undoubtedly seriously damaged the order of IMDB, especially on the Internet, people's self-control is even worse, and it is common for each other to leave messages to attack and abuse.

The feud has even spread to many film and television forums and social networking sites, and even Murphy's official Twitter and Facebook accounts have not been spared, with a flood of attacks and abusive comments in his comment columns.

When the matter came to this point, it naturally attracted the attention of the media.

"In the previous MDB charts, especially before the release of "The Dark City", "The Shawshank Redemption" was first, "The Godfather" was second, and "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" was third."

"Until one day, Murphy Stanton appeared on the stage with "Dark City", like a bright meteor across the sky, breaking the original quiet night sky, countless sleeping fans opened their eyes and turned their eyes to the sky, and the gears of fate began to work.

"For many fans in Hollywood and North America, Murphy Stanton was originally a god who shone with a black light, and "Dark City" is like a new god created by the Lord God, attracting a large number of believers, absorbing a large number of believers, fanatical believers, vowing to push their god to the top of the world."

"In order to defeat the invincible "The Shawshank Redemption", they worked day and night in the rating column of the IMDB website to give "The Dark City" a score of 10 and a score to "The Shawshank Redemption", and the fans of "The Shawshank Redemption" are also doing the same ......"

The reports in the Los Angeles Times and The Hollywood Reporter have undoubtedly extended this Internet score war to the level of traditional media.

Some tabloids are even more afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and began to take advantage of this incident to hype Murphy's fans and fans of "The Shawshank Redemption" to fight directly on the streets, saying that fans in Los Angeles on both sides escalated from the Internet scolding war to the real society in order to brush up the score war and maintain their respective support for the film.

The tabloids aren't completely distorting the facts, and at an event in the North Hollywood area, there were indeed a few fans who got involved in the dispute between "The Dark City" and "The Shawshank Redemption," but it was just a simple physical altercation, and it was by no means as serious as they said.

News like this has been hyped up by tabloids and spread around on the Internet, which is insignificant to "The Shawshank Redemption", which has been in theaters for more than ten years, but "Dark City", which is being screened in theaters, has more attractive gimmicks.

Many movie lovers who didn't care about the film "Dark City" before, after seeing the relevant news or reports, a considerable number of people will be aroused, to what extent will "Dark City" NB cause such a big storm?
