Asking Gina to investigate information about the movie "The Hobbit Era" is only the first step.

At present, public opinion on the Internet about the movie "The Hobbit" is polarized, and those who praise and scold are almost the same.

James hadn't figured out the reason before, but now he finally did.

It's all a pot from The Hobbit Age.

Now that he knew the reason, he certainly couldn't let this continue.

James decisively contacted Boris, the vice president of Fox Film and Television, and told him about the situation.

The Lord of the Rings series is a big IP of Fox Films, and the movie "The Hobbit" is produced by Fox Films, and the box office of this movie is related to the vital interests of Fox Films.

To some extent, Fox Films cares more about the results of this movie than director James.

After listening to James's words, Boris was stunned.

There is actually a movie with a similar name to their movie, and it is very badly made, and the bad reviews of "The Hobbit" on the Internet are all triggered by this movie.

And this kind of thing?

It was the first time Boris had encountered such a situation for many years, but he quickly realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Knowing James, I will immediately verify what you said, and if it is true, I will contact the media as soon as possible and ask them to clarify."

Boris said in a deep voice.

James hung up the phone, with the behemoth of Fox Film and Television, I believe that public opinion on the Internet will soon be reversed.

Of course, this will take a certain amount of time, after all, Boris can't listen to his family's words, he must verify it first, in addition, it will take a certain amount of time to contact the media, and it may take tomorrow to really change public opinion.

But that doesn't mean he won't do anything.

After thinking about it, James took out his phone, logged into his Twitter, and sent out a tweet.

"So far, I've observed that there are a lot of bad reviews about the movie 'The Hobbit' on the Internet, a lot of viewers saying that my movie is bad, and some people saying that Smaug the dragon is a dog and they are very disappointed."

"Here I solemnly remind you that if you think the movie is rubbish, you are not watching "The Hobbit", but "The Hobbit Era", "The Hobbit" is a wonderful movie that cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make, and invited two superstar actors, in which Smaug is a terrible black dragon, created by the top special effects team, will definitely not disappoint the audience."

"The Hobbit Age" is a very rubbish bad movie, but the name is similar to "The Hobbit", this movie has no dragons at all, it tells the story of two primitive tribes fighting, and the Smaug in it is a dog, very, very ugly, everyone must not get confused."

"Finally, I solemnly remind you that the name of our movie is "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey", not "The Hobbit Era", and the way to distinguish these two movies is very simple, just look at the names on the movie ticket."

Not long after the tweet was sent, there were a lot of comments below.

"Walter, you told me there were two Hobbit movies?"

"That's why a lot of people watch the wrong movie, and why do I think it's funny?"

"Yes, there are two movies about the Hobbit, after I watched "The Hobbit" directed by James, I found that there was another movie with the name of the Hobbit, I thought it was also the Lord of the Rings series, so I bought a ticket to watch it, and then, I suffered the most painful two hours of my life."

"Why do I think it's funny, the thought that someone wanted to see the wonderful movie "The Hobbit" directed by James, but ended up buying the wrong ticket and watching another bad movie, their expression must be funny."

"I've only seen James's 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey', and what is the name of the other movie you said is about the Hobbit, and I want to see it there."

"Hey brother, the name of the other movie is "The Hobbit Age", you can see it in the theater of the Imperial Cinema Line, by the way, I watched this movie, although it is rubbish, but it is still very interesting."

""The Hobbit Age", Emperor Cinemas, I understand."

"I didn't want to watch a movie, but seeing you say that, I suddenly wanted to watch it."

Within a few hours of James' tweet, hundreds of comments followed.

This is not only due to James's own fame, but also to the bonus brought by the hit of "The Hobbit".

Seeing the comments in the comment area, James couldn't help frowning.

Someone went to see the movie because of his tweets?

This doesn't mean that he took the initiative to help promote the movie "The Hobbit Era".

Originally, few people knew about this movie, but as soon as he tweeted like this, many viewers would be interested in this movie.

It is even possible that some viewers did not want to watch the movie, but found that the name of the movie is similar to "The Hobbit", and out of curiosity, it is possible to go over and watch it.

James is a director, and the people who follow him are movie enthusiasts, and the recent hit of "The Hobbit" has added a lot of fans to his Lord of the Rings.

After watching a movie, most people will share it with their friends, and those who are more concerned about the movie will collect information about the movie on the Internet.

Those who can find him, the director behind the scenes, tweet and follow are basically hardcore Lord of the Rings fans, and these people will not be able to suppress their curiosity and choose to watch it when they learn that there is a hobbit movie.

This is equivalent to him using his Twitter to advertise the bad movie "The Hobbit Era", and it is also a counterpart account with a very high fan conversion rate.

James was extremely unhappy in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

The lesser of the two evils is more important than advertising "The Hobbit Age" to save the reputation of the movie "The Hobbit".

If you don't tweet this, I guess there are still many idiots who think that "The Hobbit Era" was filmed by him.

After thinking about it, James posted another Weibo, successively descending Tolkien, the original author of the Lord of the Rings, the official account of the Lord of the Rings and Middle-earth Research Association, and film critic Martin and a series of celebrities who confessed to the wrong movie.

"Please pay attention to whether you are watching the right movie when you review the movie, "The Hobbit" and "The Hobbit Age" are completely different movies."

After the tweet was sent, these celebrities and official accounts did not reply, and James was not surprised.

People can't surf the Internet all the time, they may not have seen or noticed it, but when the influence is fermented, they will naturally wake up to the fact that they have watched the wrong movie.

Just as James wanted to take back his phone, he suddenly found that the film critic Martin had replied to him.

"Son, it's not right to cheat on your father, you will be spanked."
