Chapter 320 Sudden negative comments
"I went to see The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. It was a great movie. Nasus, you made the right decision."
"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" premiered. Michael Bay returned to International Artist Management Company and chatted with Michael Ovitz about his experience watching the movie.
"I admit that there is a gap between me and Little Gilbert. After watching this film, I realized that the gap is so big that I can't even imagine it." Michael Bay looked a little disappointed.
Michael Ovitz comforted: "Benjamin, don't belittle yourself, he is little Gilbert.
and……"
"And what..."
Michael Ovitz smiled mysteriously: "I won't watch "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" so smoothly! Little Gilbert will always encounter some setbacks."
Michael Bay's heart moved and he quickly asked: "What did you do?"
"No," Michael Ovitz shook his head slightly: "I didn't do anything, it's just that some people didn't want to see him so arrogant."
Hearing this sentence, Michael Bay frowned, thinking of bad things.
"Little Gilbert won't be the same as Michael Jackson, right?" Michael Bay asked worriedly.
He didn't want this. Before he could defeat little Gilbert, he was defeated by external interference. Little Gilbert cannot fall, he must stand and wait to be defeated by himself.
"No, it's just to teach him a lesson." Michael Ovitz handed Michael Bay the publicity and distribution plan for "Pearl Harbor" and continued:
"You don't have to be too happy. After all, little Gilbert is one of our own. I just want to teach him a lesson and won't hurt little Gilbert."
At the same time, a group of people gathered on a small island in the Caribbean.
These people hugged each other, with at least two girls in their arms, and one serving underneath. Everyone is honest with each other and has done it, so they are very relieved about each other.
"Nate, do you really want to do this?" A little old man who looked like he was in his sixties asked a man in his thirties.
The man named Nate had an inexplicable arrogance on his face, as well as a sense of impatience and impatience.
I saw Nate saying: "Marvel, you are already confused. We have invited little Gilbert to the island many times, but he just found various excuses not to come.
It is not allowed for such an influential international director to be outside our circle. "
Marvel was slightly angry when he heard the old fool. However, he still held back his anger and sneered: "So you asked the navy to smear his movie?
Young man, if you want to deal with someone you can't handle, the navy is useless. , you have to use a gun..."
It doesn't matter if there is a problem, as long as the person who raised the problem is solved, there will be no problem. Not only them, but all circles in North America, large and small, do this.
Now, little Gilbert has become the center of the problem.
The reason is simple. His influence is so great that he has countless fans across the United States and even the world. Such a great director is more active than traditional squid directors such as Spielberg.
If they don't win over their own camp, it will be a huge disservice to them.
When Nate heard Marvel's words, he became even more disdainful: "Mar-Vell, no matter what happens, if we use such methods, you and I will become the target of public criticism."
Watching a dozen girls dancing in the center of the stage, Nate put his arms around the girl in his arms.
After listening to the voice that satisfied him, he said: "It's enough to teach him a lesson. If we promise some benefits later, he will fall over to us."
"Really?" Marvell felt that things were not that simple. Little Gilbert's journey was not based on luck.
To put it bluntly, little Gilbert is in a circle of his own. To touch him, you have to consider the cost of doing so, and it may be counterproductive.
But now it's not Marvell's turn to make the final decision. The man named Nate has the final say.
After achieving amazing results in midnight and early screenings, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" officially opened in 4,150 theaters across the United States on a new day.
This number also created a record for the largest number of openings in North American theaters, which can be called a super large-scale release.
However, just when "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" was released in theaters across the United States, a large number of negative reviews suddenly appeared on movie rating websites such as IMDB.
""The Two Towers" is the most trashy and boring movie I have ever seen..."
"It is recommended that everyone do not watch it, otherwise you will find that you have wasted more than two hours of your life."
"It didn't look good. I fell asleep for three hours in the cinema."
"Little Gilbert is ruining his reputation. "The Two Towers" is obviously a work that he is too proud of. He no longer cares about the audience and has no respect for the audience."
There are still many negative reviews similar to the above, so much so that after the IMDB rating ban was lifted on "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", the rating dropped rapidly and has dropped to 8.9 points.
This trick of the navy is no longer new. Ever since Gilbert Jr. first used the Internet to promote his movie, this method, which is neither clever nor confidential, has become well-known to major Hollywood companies.
The huge sales of "Blair Witch" is a classic example of Lionsgate's use of trolls.
Since the trolls can tout their own movies, they can also attack other companies' movies. There are many smart people in this world, and there will always be someone who can draw inferences from one example and learn how to use the navy.
However, although the navy is no secret to film companies, the term is still too unfamiliar to ordinary netizens. Except for a few people who can keenly feel the existence of trolls, other netizens may not know what is going on and are led by trolls.
On the first day of the premiere, according to the arrangement, the crew did not have any promotional tasks.
The road show wouldn't start until the next day, so little Gilbert made an appointment with a few women to go fishing together this afternoon.
Since the arrival of the yacht, the yacht has been parked at the dock for too long and has not been out on the sea a few times! So little Gilbert decided to drive it out himself and have some fun.
"Honey, put that set of fishing gear up." Cameron Diaz was directing, holding a box of cold beer in his hand and putting it in the yacht's refrigerator.
"We need to bring more food, fruits and vegetables." Naomi Watts asked little Gilbert: "Where are the dried fruits sent by your Chinese friends?"
"I don't know, ask Xingzi." Little Gilbert put the big bag on the yacht and started the yacht smoothly.
After everything was ready, little Gilbert took Naomi Watts, Cameron Diaz, and Anne Hathaway to go to sea.
But at this moment, the sound of high heels clicking came from the pier.
Anna walked over quickly and shouted: "Boss, something serious has happened."
"???" Little Gilbert asked: "Don't be anxious, drink some water first and speak slowly."
Anna took the water from Little Gilbert, drank it in one gulp, took a breath, and then said: "I don't know why, but a lot of negative reviews about "The Two Towers" suddenly appeared on the Internet.
The reputation of our film is declining rapidly. The current IMDB score has dropped to 8.8 points, and there have been more than 2,000 negative reviews. "
Little Gilbert frowned after hearing this. The experienced man immediately realized that this was an organized troll trying to discredit his movie on a large scale.
"Honey, what happened?" Naomi Watts, who was so beautiful in a sexy swimsuit, came over and asked when she saw that she hadn't started yet.
Little Gilbert smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Naomi, I'm afraid I can't accompany you to go fishing today. Something went wrong."
Naomi Watts was very considerate: "It's okay, work is important, you go ahead, we can just wander around in the nearby waters and let Michelle drive the yacht."
"I'm sorry, I'll go fishing with you next time." Little Gilbert kissed Naomi Watts goodbye and hurried away with Anna.
As soon as Cameron Diaz finished setting up, he saw the back of little Gilbert leaving and asked quickly: "What happened?"
"It seems there is something wrong with "The Two Towers"..." Naomi Watts shook her head slightly: "Let's go back too!"
"Well!" Cameron Diaz was a little worried. Little Gilbert was not here, so there was no point in them going to sea alone. Fortunately, he had prepared a very exciting swimsuit today!
Back at the manor, Cameron Diaz immediately opened the website and saw countless negative reviews of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" springing up like mushrooms after rain on IMDB.
Now the negative review rate of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is close to 15%, and the IMDB score has dropped to 8.6 points, which is still declining rapidly.
"Damn it," Cameron Diaz slapped the table twice after reading the negative reviews, which shocked Naomi Watts.
"What's wrong Michelle?" Naomi Watts asked worriedly.
"See for yourself..." Cameron Diaz pointed to the comments online for Naomi Watts to see.
Naomi Watts frowned after reading it: "Why are there so many negative reviews?"
"Does this need to be said? There must be someone maliciously smearing it." Cameron Diaz was very angry. She immediately sat down and waved her hands on the keyboard: "I have to refute these villains."
After saying that, she had transformed into a keyboard warrior and entered the battle.
Anne Hathaway, who had just arrived, was confused: "What's wrong with Michelle?"
Naomi Watts shook her head slightly and said: "It seems that this summer will not be too peaceful."
On the way to the Melon Studio, little Gilbert learned the specific events from Anna. Starting roughly in the morning, negative comments began to appear on a large scale.
Negative comments don’t appear for no reason, there must be someone behind them.
Anna provided her own analysis: "Boss, is it possible that other film companies have hired trolls to do this?"
"No," little Gilbert denied this judgment: "There is no need. On the weekend we released it, except for a few unrelated movies, there were no blockbusters of the same level released together.
There is someone else behind this, and he must have other motives. "
Little Gilbert didn't know much about what it was for and was unable to analyze more effective information.
But he quickly made arrangements: "Contact Disney and Warner Pictures, and find Marco at the same time. We need a response strategy."
"Okay," Anna immediately called the contact person.
