At Wireless Media Headquarters. After the premiere of God of War, Zaro's agent and a few of Wireless Media's top executives went to check the ratings on the authoritative film rating website.
"Five … five?!"
Seeing this comment, the few of them took a deep breath at the same time, afraid that they had seen wrongly. Looking at the reviewers again, there were already more than 300 people who had given their comments. Looking at the IDs of those reviewers, there was no mistaking that some of them were famous movie critics who had always been upright and outspoken.
Looking at the overall rating, there were five shining stars. They counted them one by one. That's right! Five stars! A total of five stars!
It was unbelievable. That kind of sh * tty plot could actually get such a high score?!
Five was not the full score. The full score was ten. Five was only half of the total score. But how many stars a film was given, whether it was good or bad, was based on the film itself. For example, a film like "God of War," which the public thought was bad before its release, should be worth around three stars. This was also the average score of the previous seven films Zaro had invested in. Although it was far from the 8.6 for "King of Snipers," compared to the previous seven films produced by Wireless Media, it was an unbelievably high score!
That's right, in the eyes of Zaro's team, five stars was indeed high. This was also the highest rating Zaro had ever received from a professional since he had invested in a movie!
Screenshots! Photos!
These were all evidence!
Zaro's agent was afraid that the system had malfunctioned and had given a high score. It was not that he did not trust the review system, but this score was unexpectedly high for them!
It was not just Zaro's agent and Wireless Media's team. Those who did not watch the premiere online were also astonished by this rating.
Accounts were registered using their real names and were bound to their personal terminals. It was not possible for a large number of fake reviewers. If it was too obvious, they could apply for an investigation.
So, what was up with such a high score?
"Am I f * cking seeing things? God of War's current overall rating is five points! There must be some shameful deal going on here! "
"It's already five, one, and it's still rising!"
"How do you feel about the premiere's poison test? Who's going to say the truth? "
"I just finished watching the premiere. How do I put it? It was so satisfying. The plot was so cliche, but it was so satisfying. Especially when the battle started at the end, it was so shocking. I give it five and a half stars."
"Actually, Young Master Zaro's films have plenty of action scenes, but this time, it left a particularly deep impression. I think it must have something to do with the soundtrack. I give it five stars. Originally, I only wanted to give it three stars, but when I thought of the soundtrack, I added two more stars. "
Among the speakers, there were also professional commentators who were rather well-known in Leizhou.
"I give it five and a half stars. One star for the plot. I don't need to say more. Everyone who has read it will understand. The production was two and a half stars. Compared to the previous seven films, there was indeed an improvement, especially in terms of the actors' acting skills. It wasn't very good, but they were quite serious. I only gave the previous seven films two stars, but this time, seeing that there was an improvement, I was willing to give it half a star. If it had been based on previous ratings, I would have given it 3.5 stars, which would have been similar to Zaro's previous films. However, the reason why I gave it an additional two stars is because of the soundtrack. I believe this is also the reason why everyone in the industry gave me two more stars. "
"Indeed." Another professional commentator also chimed in. "A movie soundtrack is an integral part of a movie's soul. A movie without music is like an empty shell. Music has the ability to propel a narrative, exaggerate emotions, and form. A good soundtrack can add color to a movie. Everyone can look at those classic award-winning movies in the past. Many of them may be vague about the characters and plot, but they still remember the music in them. Some of them have even become masterpieces that have been passed down for a long time.
And the soundtrack for 'God of War' at the climax two-thirds of the way through is indeed breathtaking. When I was in university, I majored in film soundtrack, so from a professional point of view, I can't find any flaws. That soundtrack conveys the joy and sorrow of war, the blood and glory, the grandeur and carnage of war. However, I don't know which great master composed that soundtrack. Those in the industry who know the inside story can reveal a little in private. Waiting online. "
Because of the regional barriers and the Leizhou entertainment industry's ban on foreign music, most people in Leizhou did not know much about the "100-Year Period of Destruction" series. Even though the second movement had caused a stir, the news had been edited, so some people had not even heard of the virtual idol Polar Light.
The premiere was also when the third movement was released in Yanzhou. Even though there were a few people who paid attention to the release of Polar Light's third movement in Yanzhou, those who listened to the song had not gone to watch the movie, and those who watched the movie had not gone to listen to the song. Thus, for a while, no one had revealed the source of the soundtrack or its composer.
However, there were also people who felt that this sort of copyrighted music was specially created for film and would not appear anywhere else. The only way to listen to it was to watch the movie "God of War."
Indeed, some people who were interested in the soundtrack went to watch "God of War" a second time. There were also quite a few people who chose to watch "God of War" after seeing the reviews online.
Thus, during the second screening, Zaro's agent and team discovered that the number of people watching the second screening was even higher than the premiere.
This had not happened in the previous seven series.
Good news!
This is great news!
Zaro's agent wanted to tell Zaro the good news, but who knew that he could not get in touch with Zaro.
Since he could not get in touch with Zaro, he tried contacting the people who hung out with Zaro. In the end, he could not get in touch with any of them.
Could it be that something had happened?
Zaro's agent imagined all sorts of kidnappings, extortion, and hostage-killing. He almost called the police, but when he remembered that it was the Renault family, he contacted one of Zaro's uncles. He was told that Zaro and a few others were at home and that he did not need to worry.
But Zaro's agent sensed that something was amiss.
Could it be that something had really happened?
At the same time, at Zaro's place.
The few young people who were on good terms with Zaro were all quietly waiting in the screening room. All their communication devices had been confiscated, and they could not leave the room. Even when they went to the toilet, there was someone following them. They did not dare to barge in. Not to mention that it was the Renault family who had stopped them, just the two armed guards guarding the door were enough to make them not dare to make a sound. Those were real guns, and these guards would not give them preferential treatment based on who they were or whose children they were. They only gave them cold looks, making them so afraid that they wanted to cry, but they did not dare to make a sound.
They did not know what had happened, and at that time, no one dared to go out. They only saw Zaro kneeling at the door after opening the door, without a trace of his usual insolence. By the time they wanted to look out, the guards had already pointed their guns at them and forced them back. And those who were more quick-witted had already guessed in their hearts.
There were indeed quite a few people in the Renault family who were capable of bringing such a squad with them. However, the person who could scare Zaro to such an extent and make the entire house tense up was most likely Old General Renault of the Renault family, who no longer appeared in front of others.
But why would that old general come here? To see Zaro?
But based on the current situation, and looking at the armed guards at the door, he thought of a possibility — something had happened to Old General Renault's health!
The health of a person of this level was related to the overall situation. Before the Renault family made preparations, they would not let the truth leak out. That was why they had confiscated their communication devices. Regardless of whether they had seen anything or not, they would first be confined here.
But why would Old General Renault's health suddenly have a problem? Seeing how Zaro had been kneeling there, could it be that Zaro had angered the old general?
Thinking of this possibility, that person's body trembled and he could only light a candle for Zaro. If Zaro angered the old general, even the governor, who had always doted on his grandson, would not let Zaro off.
At that moment, Zaro was indeed not in a good state. He was still kneeling, but at the door of another room. He did not know what was going on inside, but thinking of how he had seen his great-grandfather just now, it might be … not good.
Five members of the Renault family had already entered the room. They were all Zaro's uncles and aunts. His grandparents' generation held important positions and could not immediately drop what they were doing and rush over.
Zaro's father had also rushed over. After confirming that the old master's life was not in danger, he gave Zaro a vicious beating.
In the past, if Zaro's father had beaten him like this, the others would have stopped him. But this time, no one said anything. Zaro's mother just sat at the side, anxious. She opened her mouth several times but was stopped by his aunt. They did not know the cause of this incident, but they were certain that the old master was agitated because of Zaro. Connecting this with the things that Zaro had done in the past, they came to a conclusion. It was definitely Zaro's fault!
With a bruised face, Zaro knelt on the floor and cried, but he did not dare to make a sound. His usual arrogance had long disappeared.
He was a silkpants, but he was not heartless. He did not wish to see such a situation. He did not even know why his great-grandfather was so angry. Could it be because of what he had said in the viewing room? If he had known that the old master was standing outside, he would not have dared even if he was beaten to death!
As he was crying, the door opened. Zaro's father had a cold expression on his face. "The old master has something to ask you."
Zaro sniffled. Holding onto the door frame, he wanted to get up, but after some thought, he knelt back down and inched into the room.
The old master's back was facing the door, so Zaro could not see the old master's expression. He only felt his heart tremble under the pressuring gazes of the elders.
"G-great-grandfather," Zaro said softly.
Zaro was already prepared to be scolded when he suddenly heard a question.
"What was the song called?" the old master asked.
"Ah?!" Zaro was dumbfounded.
The others in the room also looked over in bewilderment.
"What ah?! Hurry up and say it! " Zaro's father was enraged by his stupid son's behavior. He clenched his fists so hard that they made cracking sounds.
"Oh!"
Zaro shrunk his neck and hurriedly recalled. At that time, it should have been the part he had acted in. What was the title of the song? It was called...
"Mission... Mission. That song was called 'Mission,'" Zaro said.
