Boss Jia was looking forward to seeing most of the media's movie reviews the next day. However, after reading these reviews, Boss Jia couldn't help but want to curse.
Boss Jia was actually prepared for the movie to be scolded or praised by the movie critics. Because for a blockbuster with special effects, there were only two kinds of movie reviews.
One was all kinds of praise, and the other was crazy belittling. Generally speaking, there was no middle ground.
The reason was very simple. Blockbusters with special effects would inevitably spend a lot of money on publicity. Therefore, blockbusters with special effects would receive a lot of attention from the audience before they were released.
If the movie critics' reviews were as plain as water, it would be easy to lose the attention of the audience. Therefore, they would either give a very good review or a very bad review. In any case, they wouldn't give a middle ground that was as plain as water.
But unexpectedly, this movie "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Rebellion of the Yellow Turban" was so normal under the movie critics' writing. It was as if the people who were well-versed in the middle ground were not Hua Xia people, but the people of the United States.
"What's the reason for this?" Boss Jia was puzzled by these reviews. Therefore, he went to the president of Daqian Movies, Jon Landau, who was also the chief producer of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" series, to find out the reason.
Jon Landau was indeed a wily old fox who had been in Hollywood for decades. He already knew the thoughts and tricks of these movie critics. He then said with a smile, "It seems that our movie is quite good!"
"Why do you say that?" Boss Jia asked humbly.
"That's because these film critics are born to be evil!" Jon Landau smiled and explained to Boss Jia. Boss Jia also understood the thoughts of the movie critics.
This was because the film critics of the United States were naturally at odds with Daqian films.
It was true that Daqian films would spend a lot of money on publicity, but Daqian films had never given these film critics a single cent. Therefore, when Daqian films occupied 13% of the North American film market, the film critics had not received a single cent from Daqian films. How would these film critics view Daqian films?
Therefore, they were naturally evil towards the Daqian.
But what made many film critics uncomfortable was that the current Daqian could not be criticized.
First of all, the Daqian's previous films were all of high quality. These film critics were not fools. They would not make the same mistake as the Oscars. Even when faced with a film like Titanic, they would continue to criticize it.
After all, if they criticized a movie with a high box office and criticized it to the point that it was worse than dog sh * t, the box office would explode. This would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the film critic's reputation.
Secondly, the Daqian was gradually gaining control of the entire Hollywood.
This was not a joke. Many people felt that the Daqian spent hundreds of millions of dollars every year to hold the Golden Dragon Award. It was simply using Hua Xia's money to give benefits to the United States.
But they could not see that in order to get a share of the Golden Dragon Award, all the Hollywood stars and companies would not take the initiative to provoke the Daqian unless there was a huge conflict of interest.
On the contrary, many companies would actively cut ties with people who did not have a good relationship with the Daqian. Many film critics, after criticizing the Daqian several times, could not receive any benefits from other film companies.
The reason was very simple. God knew if the Daqian would hold a grudge against them if they spent money to hire Daqian haters. Then, they would deliberately destroy their awards in the Golden Dragon Award.
After all, although the Golden Dragon Award was said to be fair, there had never been a third party that really counted the data. In case the Daqian played some tricks in the award, no one would know.
So, to be cautious, these film companies would never take the initiative to provoke the Daqian haters. Anyway, there were so many film critics in the film industry. If they had money, they would be able to find a dog that wanted to eat meat.
In the end, the main battlefield of these film critics, which was various newspapers and media, was also very resistant to the Daqian haters. Many newspapers, after seeing the criticism of the film critics, directly suppressed it and did not report it at all.
The reason was very simple. Didn't you see that the Daqian had invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertisements in our newspapers? If this criticism was published, Daqian movies would no longer be advertised in our newspapers. What should we do?
Moreover, their movies were really good. We did not need to go against the money.
Of course, there were still some film critics who would try their best to defame the Daqian. However, their main battlefield was not the big media, but the smaller media. There were all kinds of Daqian movies in the media. It was just that because the sales were not high, no one cared.
And these negative reports were also found by Boss Jia from these smaller media.
So, according to Jon Landau, these film critics were born to defame the Daqian. However, at this time, they gave such a moderate review. There was only one reason, and that was that the movie was actually very good. So, these professional film critics could not find any flaws in it.
At this time, the film critics were still concerned about their reputation. They couldn't accept the fact that the movie they had criticized had such an amazing box office and thus lost their credibility. Therefore, the film critics gave such a mediocre review in this mediocre situation.
Anyway, if I say that your movie is average, even if the movie is a big hit, there will not be too much negative impact.
"So, our movie is actually quite good!" Boss Jia was a little happy.
"Chairman, in fact, on our Sweet Noodle Sauce platform, I saw some very pertinent reviews. You can take a look at these reviews. This is the voice of the real audience. And soon, I believe that the first batch of ratings from the audience will be in our hands!" Jon Landau continued.
Sweet Noodle Sauce platform was a sub-channel of Guangying Entertainment's website. It was somewhat similar to the future Douban. It was a website that focused on various movie reviews.
However, because the Internet was not very developed these days, and there were no self-media, it was difficult for the reviews on the Internet to flow into reality.
But because of this, almost all of these reviews were written by the audience who watched the movie. It could reflect the audience's emotions to the maximum extent.
