On the second day after Journey to the West was released, there were many comments praising the movie on the Internet.
"The Most Touching Movie of the Year," "Unexpected Ending," "The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal," and so on. All kinds of apps and computer websites were crazily pushing articles and news.
On a well-known movie review website, Journey to the West 2's rating was as high as 9.0. Even Journey to the West 1's rating rose from 5.8 to 7.5.
Whether it was long reviews or short reviews, they were all praising the movie and complaining that the movie made people cry and cheated them of a few pounds of tears.
The popularity of the movie suddenly rose.
Some of them were paid by the Internet Water Army and some were fans of Journey to the West.
Many people were stunned. Wasn't it a bad movie? Wasn't it said that there were no highlights except for special effects?
Overnight, after the release of Journey to the West 2, everything changed.
"Is it the Internet Water Army?"
"It must be the Internet Water Army. F * ck, I see people praising Journey to the West everywhere. How much did Qin Ze spend to hire Internet Water Army? He's too rich."
"Tsk, what's the use of hiring Internet Water Army? The quality is poor. No matter how many Internet Water Army there are, it's only for a period of time. It's just like when the first movie was released, it's just to build momentum. Just wait and see, the trend will change again in a few days. "
Unable to accept the sudden change in reputation, it was definitely the subconscious reaction of some netizens. They felt that Journey to the West was hiring Internet Water Army to improve its reputation again.
Not long after, the Internet Water Army that was criticizing Journey to the West jumped up and down on the Internet. They posted on Weibo and forums that Journey to the West 2 was terrible, not good, and was a bad movie just like the first one. They also shamelessly and maliciously lowered the rating of the movie review website.
"Dynasty Film and Television is determined not to let us have an easy time." Qin Bao Bao was furious. Her pretty face was as cold as ice.
Beside her, Qin Ze was brewing tea. His expression was calm and his tea brewing technique was not fast.
"Why are you pretending to be a wolf?" Qin Bao Bao chopped her brother's head with a knife, destroying the image of an expert that he had created.
The ordinary-looking assistant's lips curled up and he tried not to laugh.
"Sister Ziwei said that making tea can train one's temperament. It can also be used in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. But I don't know any of them, so I can only make tea. Think about it, when we summon our subordinates or discuss business with our clients, we put an incense stick in the office and boil tea with the smoke. How cool would that be? "Qin Ze said.
"Do you think we should let the water army fight back?" The elder sister rolled her eyes.
"There's no need for that. The last time the fake reviewers attacked us, the comments online were all over the place. But it's different now. You've seen it for yourself. There are countless netizens who support our movie, and the number will slowly increase. Quality determines everything. For a truly good movie, it's useless to discredit it. The market is the best tool to test the quality of the product. "Qin Ze poured the red tea into the bone porcelain cup, causing steam to rise." Try it. "
"Taste your ass. I've already drunk two cups." Qin Bao Bao gave him another chop.
Qin Bao Bao, who lost her temper yesterday, was already dead. Today, it was the elder sister who was flirting with her younger brother.
Qin Ze raised his head, glanced at the ordinary-looking assistant, and said in a flat tone, "Tell the marketing department to release the new song 'Love of a Lifetime'."
The ordinary-looking assistant nodded and left the office.
As Qin Ze said, the market was the best tool to test the quality of the product, and it couldn't be covered up by the low-level water army.
After a few days of fermentation, 'Journey to the West' gradually had an irresistible trend. The box office skyrocketed, and its reputation skyrocketed.
First, they constantly saw various clips, articles, and posts on the Internet. Then, they suddenly found that a new song had reached the top of the top music charts. The name was' Love of a Lifetime '— the theme song of' Journey to the West '.
The theme song was an important reference for the popularity of a movie.
Regardless of the movie, in the field of music, Qin Ze's productions were the best. This was the consensus of everyone.
There were hundreds of new music reviews every day.
"I've been playing this song on repeat for several days. Every time I listen to it, it makes me cry."
"It's too exaggerated. It's good, but it's not that exaggerated. Why are there so many tears in the comments? I don't feel it."
"You haven't seen 'Journey to the West', right? Go and watch it. I cried directly in the cinema."
The clicks were getting higher and higher, and the box office was getting higher and higher.
In just a week, the box office of 'Journey to the West' was firmly in first place.
The real explosion of reputation and box office was a week later, when a video went viral on the Internet.
The video was shot with a mobile phone. In a certain screening room, the camera first froze on the big screen. Joker and Fairy Zixia were hugging on the city gate tower, and then the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal was leaving alone. The background music was "Love of a Lifetime."
The camera turned, and in the auditorium, a woman was lying on the seat and crying.
Her crying was heart-wrenching and extremely mournful.
A few minutes later, she really couldn't control it. The security guard of the cinema came in and helped her out.
This video went viral on the Internet, and the popularity of 'Journey to the West' was pushed to the peak.
"What the f * ck, she's crying?"
"666, I mean this ending is tear-jerking. The last time I cried was when Qin Ze played the piano in 'If I Become Memories'."
"'Journey to the West' is mighty, Qin Ze is mighty."
"I feel much better. It turns out that I'm not the only one crying. There are even more crying. Hahaha. "
"Is it that exaggerated? I'll go and see."
"I've already bought tickets. I'll go with my boyfriend tonight."
"If only there was a MV version of this plot. I'll definitely watch it every day. I'll never get tired of the theme song. "
The video went viral on the Internet, and there were countless comments.
In the office, Qin Bao watched the video on his mobile phone and was stunned. "It's too exaggerated."
Qin Bao himself played Zixia Fairy. He was completely immersed in the role and didn't cry out loud.
Did this touch the soft wound in the girl's heart?
"If it's not exaggerated, how can it be popular?" Qin Ze picked up his teacup and sipped.
Today was the day he worked in Tianfang again. In a week, he worked in Baoze for three days, one day in Tianfang, and one day in Amethyst.
He had a lot of harem, and he couldn't split himself.
Qin Bao and Wang Zijin had no objection to this, because Qin Ze's profession was in Baoze after all.
If they knew about the dirty sex deal between Qin Ze and Su Yu, they would definitely sharpen their knives.
"What do you mean?" Qin Bao Bao was stunned.
"That's a shill," Qin Ze said.
Qin Bao Bao suddenly realized. How could anyone lose control of their emotions like this? It's not like their parents died. What an unlucky child to cry in public.
"What's the point of the water army? The Internet war will always stop on the Internet. This kind of low-level marketing model has no novelty at all." Qin Ze said proudly.
Qin Bao Bao cooperated and kissed him on the face.
Two weeks after "Journey to the West 2" was released, the box office had exceeded 2 billion. Under the chain effect, the box office of "Journey to the West 1" also began to rise from a sluggish state and reached 1 billion.
The two movies' showtimes were more than 50%. Before the second movie was released, the showtimes for "Journey to the West" were only 15%.
This meant that for every 100 movies in the cinema, more than half of them were "Journey to the West", and this proportion was still rising. Not only were the domestic movies of the same period unable to lift their heads, but even Hollywood blockbusters were unable to resist.
As for "The Exorcist," which was ranked first in the domestic box office, it had dropped to 5%. Maybe one or two showtimes a day, or even lower.
"Journey to the West" was completely popular, and even the actors in the movie were also popular. Qin Bao Bao's current fame and value, even those big names who had won the Best Actress and Best Actor awards several times were lower than her.
With solid acting skills, Li Wei's value skyrocketed, and there was a faint trend of her becoming an A-list movie star. This was only a matter of time. Perhaps before "Journey to the West" was taken off the shelves, she could become a real A-list movie star.
This made the young woman, whose acting career had stagnated for many years and had even begun to decline, so excited that she almost burst into tears.
In this entertainment industry where the new disliked the old, one's value and age were inversely proportional. The older one was, the faster one's value fell. She originally thought that being a B-list movie star was the limit, but she didn't expect that she could go further.
Li Wei increasingly felt that jumping ship to Tian Fang was the wisest choice in her life. Now, she was probably willing to recommend herself to Qin Ze as long as he hooked his finger.
In addition, the newcomer Feng Rui gained the most. She became a hot new star in one leap. She had her own Tieba, her own fans, and her Weibo followers skyrocketed.
She became a model of overnight fame, once again telling the newcomers in the entertainment industry that as long as they produced a good film, it was not difficult to become famous.
How could one get a good film? It was very simple. Just hook up with Qin Ze. It didn't matter if you wanted to go the film and television route or the singer route, as long as you hook up with Qin Ze.
It was that simple.
Among the newcomers in Tian Fang's backup artists group, there was a rumor that Feng Rui hooked up with Qin Ze and slept with him. That was why she was able to make a name for herself.
Otherwise, there was no other explanation. How could a newcomer like her get such an important role?
Wasn't it to sleep with him? Yes, sleep with him.
What a dirty deal.
The blockbuster "The Exorcist," which claimed to have a 500 million investment, was in an awkward situation after two weeks of glory.
At Royal Entertainment.
"Should we spend more money to hire the Internet Water Army?" The director of "The Exorcist" found the head of the marketing department, his face full of unwillingness.
"This momentum can't be stopped." The head of the marketing department shook his head and sighed.
"Then let's use our connections to increase the screening rate." The director gritted his teeth and said.
"Our current screening rate is already compromised by the cinema. If we want to increase it, we have to reduce the screening rate of" Journey to the West ". If" Journey to the West "can make money, why should they reduce the screening rate? No matter how good our connections are, can it be more important than making money? Moreover, our connections are okay in Shanghai, but outside of Shanghai, who cares about us? Just the screening rate in Shanghai, it's almost the same whether we raise it or not. "The head of the marketing department shook his head.
Of course, the director knew this. The screening rate was based on market demand, but he couldn't accept it.
He wasn't the kind of director who set up his own company and made a name for himself in the entertainment industry. Relying on Royal Entertainment, the resources he received were on par with his own performance.
The investment for this film was not small. Although it was nicknamed 500 million, it was actually 300 million. The investment was not small.
But half a month after it was released, the box office of "The Exorcist" had reached 500 million. All of this was because of the impact of "Journey to the West".
This time, they really suffered a loss.
As the director, he couldn't absolve himself from the blame. In the future, when the company planned to film new films, it would be difficult for them to choose him first.
"The company's funds are no longer supporting the use of Internet Water Army. Another film we invested in will be released next month. Also, the company has two singers. One is holding a concert, and the other is releasing an album. They have to start preparing in advance. I can't chat with you anymore. I'm busy here. "The head of the marketing department ordered him to leave.
