Chapter 447: The Battle of the Water Army
"Sailor promoter", "malicious hype", "Internet public relations", "Internet thugs", ......
These things that appear with the Internet may gradually become a common and usable phenomenon in the eyes of professionals or companies, but in the world of ordinary users, they are still relatively unfamiliar words.
Although many Internet users with a keen sense of smell have noticed the existence of such things as water armies, for most people, they will still be affected by negative and positive online remarks.
Norman? Shearer, a staunch Duke-ist when it comes to movies, got up early in the morning to check the online response after missing yesterday's early and midnight screenings, and then drove to the theater where he booked his tickets.
After entering the theater and getting the ticket, sitting in the rest area, Shearer threw popcorn into his mouth, his brows were always furrowed, he couldn't figure it out, he just slept and woke up, whether it was IMDB or Duke's personal website, how could "The Two Towers" be flooded with negative reviews?
Could it be that the film is really bad?
It shouldn't be, although this is a trilogy, but in the strict sense, "The Two Towers" can't be considered a sequel, these are three films filmed at the same time, there is no reason why "The Fellowship of the Ring" is so good, and "The Two Towers" has become a bad movie?
Having said that, Duke has not made any bad movies since he officially became a director.
"Didn't you see the comments on the web?"
A boy in his twenties said to his companion, "There have been a lot of negative reactions to this film, and I think we should choose something else." Besides, we haven't seen the first part either. β
"There are a lot of negative reviews, but there are also a lot of good reviews...... "his companion disagreed." And we don't watch "Two Towers", and there are no other big productions to choose from. β
Just in Norman? Under Shearer's gaze, the two men argued for a while, and finally bought tickets for "The Two Towers".
Sitting here for more than twenty minutes, Shearer saw more than one person hesitating and arguing, and he could faintly hear it from the words of these people. Most of them haven't seen "The Fellowship of the Ring", and those who talk about how wonderful "The Fellowship of the Ring" is, basically buy tickets for "The Two Towers" without any hesitation.
Although not a professional analyst of film, Norman? Shearer also came up with a vague notion that negative comments on the Internet will not have much impact on the fans cultivated by "The Fellowship of the Ring", but it will cause some new viewers to hesitate or even give up.
Duke shouldn't make a bad movie, right?
With the slightest doubt, Norman? Shearer walked into the theater and it only took ten minutes for the idea to run out of the clouds. The Gandalf vs. Firedemon at the beginning of the film is enough to ignite everyone's love.
It's a great work without a doubt!
When the film progresses to the Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helm, especially when Aragorn and King Hiyudon lead the human race to the death, the entire theater is boiling, Norman? Shearer swore that there had never been such a huge war scene in Hollywood and even in the history of world cinema, if it was just a big scene. But at the critical moment of life and death, human beings are accompanied by the spirit of the trumpet to move forward. How can you not be impressed? How can you not make people's blood boil? How can you not give people a good review?
"This is a super classic movie, where is the bad movie on the Internet?"
Just when the war scene was over and the atmosphere in the theater gradually subsided, Norman? Shearer caught the sound and turned his head to see that it was the two men he had seen arguing about the tickets.
One of the boys, who didn't want to buy tickets, said angrily. "What's going on with those people on the network? How can I make such irresponsible remarks, I must leave a message to scold @#@......"
A string of swear words caused many people to look sideways, and the two quickly shut up, so as not to continue to disturb others watching the movie.
Those words, however, struck a chord with Shearer. Those remarks on the Internet are really irresponsible, he must spray them when he goes back!
Back home, Norman? Shearer immediately turned on his computer, and as soon as he logged on to IMDB, he found that there were already a large number of replies and posts against his critics.
"Isn't it, even a rag film like "The Two Towers" can temporarily rank first in IMDB?"
Shearer frowned, he was tempted to ask why such a wonderful film couldn't be ranked first on IMDB?
There are similar remarks later, and they are particularly sharp.
"Recently, the score of IMDB has become more and more problematic, more and more young people are on IMDB, and more and more people who have not seen any movies are on IMDB, so a relatively wrong direction has been formed. Rosenberg's films, IMDB's deuce is not low. β
"I don't know what the score for The Two Towers is based on? Just because it's Duke? Can a film directed by Rosenberg give such a high score? I found that none of Duke's films had low scores, and all of them had high scores on IMDB, which was unimaginable and outrageous! β
""The Two Towers" is indeed a pretty good movie, but it is more than ten streets away from "The Shawshank Redemption", and it can even give more than nine points? Lord of the Rings? Duke? Rosenberg? The director's name? The charisma of an actor? What is it that makes it get such a high score?
"In my opinion, "Two Towers" is at most a score level like "Braveheart", or even lower. For the inflated score of this movie, I can only say that there are brain-dead fans everywhere regardless of category, regardless of age......"
Seeing this, Shearer suddenly felt angry, and the curse words came directly to his mouth, but fortunately, he saw that there were countless people fighting back below, and it was not this brainless type of malicious abuse, so he swallowed the words back.
"Individually, "The Two Towers" is an indisputable nine-point movie, with a perfect story system, plot shaping, acting, forced style, connotation, etc., and it is a classic film that can compete for the top three in the year in any year, only slightly worse than Duke's "Saving Private Ryan".
"In addition, let's think that IMDB is full of young people who don't understand movies, so the landlord explained to me that IMDB has a score of more than 9 points as high as 40,000 votes, can't it explain some problems? Aren't young movie fans in the United States as good as you as a keyboard warrior? Are the world's young movie fans Duke? Rosenberg's brain-dead fan? β
"If fans around the world are Duke's brainless fans, can it mean that Duke is awesome?"
These words almost speak to Norman? Shearer's heart, he nodded unconsciously, and then he refreshed the page, and found that there were more and more comments in support of "The Two Towers".
"Commercial films and genre films need an example like "The Two Towers", which can give the film a certain connotation while greatly pleasing us, and "The Two Towers" as a trilogy is very good, and it has been well received inside and outside the theater, not just a high rating on IMDB."
This person also posted the latest number jΓΉ as support.
"The Twin Towers has a 96 percent audience praise rate, a CinemaScore score of A+, a popcorn audience love index of 94 percent, and a MetaCritic website that counts 77 entertainment reporters with an average score of 88 points, doesn't this still tell the story?"
Shearer nodded slightly, he had already seen "The Two Towers", and such a reaction was normal.
Seeing this, he couldn't help it anymore, clicked on the reply bar, and tapped the keyboard quickly with the ten fingers of both hands, and a targeted reply was quickly released.
"In the length of the nearly three-hour film, Duke gave a surprise that surpassed "The Fellowship of the Ring", "The Two Towers" has wonderful story details, exquisite layout, action scenes and plot advancement are closely integrated, relaxed, and the whole film has no redundancy, every minute can firmly grasp the audience, let them wait with bated breath until the end of the last shot, and still linger."
"Although there is no lack of darkness in the two parts that have been released, Duke is still a director who is willing to tell a good story to the audience, and even if the film is not the end of the entire series, he still sticks to the most crucial one - every touching character deserves a good ending."
"As the leader of the new generation of Hollywood directors, Durkton GuΓ² has once again proved himself to be a director worthy of the madness of fans all over the world, on the creative level, he is different from the previous generation of Hollywood directors, he is no longer fascinated by the so-called artistry and ideology of the film, but strives to present a variety of film techniques, and through a wonderful story and shocking visual spectacle, bring the greatest enjoyment to audiences around the world!"
"How can we not like such a director, such a director's work, how can we not give a high score?"
After clicking to publish, Norman? Shearer didn't hesitate to give "The Two Towers" a score of 10, and he didn't even think to eat lunch, just turned around on websites including Duke's personal homepage, and wherever there was a criticism of "The Two Towers", there would be his rebuttals, and there would be his fighting figure!
For a whole afternoon, Norman? Shearer, under the clever guidance of some online rhetoric, has become a storage called 'tap water' that he himself has no idea about.
But a little Norman? Shearer knew very well that he was willing to stand up and speak for such a wonderful film.
Actually, after noon, Norman? Shearer found that there were more and more people supporting "The Two Towers" on the Internet, and the voices were getting louder and louder, and many fans were spontaneously suppressing criticism everywhere, brushing up praise for their favorite films, and when it was close to midnight, the negative comments on the Internet were almost suppressed.
