Chapter 395 It’s Abstracted

It can only be said that there are really a lot of trolling netizens and they are really free. They started causing trouble as soon as the movie was released.

Soon after Godzilla photos, there were King Kong photos, Transformers photos, Terminator photos, World War II photos, etc.

The comments are all the same. Because the movie was released, the gods were angry and sent people to prevent and destroy the movie. Among the characters who prevented the movie from being released, there were villains in the movie, characters in the second dimension, and criminals in history. etc.

Later, even Tom and Jerry appeared, and it is said that even Mickey Mouse died in the battle.

In reality, the years are quiet, but there is a turmoil on the Internet. Whether the movie can be successfully released seems to determine the fate of the entire multiverse and the future of mankind. Countless netizens have started the Third World War on the Internet. The multiverse is famous and... All the people with the last name came to join the war.

I can only lament that the troll netizens are really trolls. They can make fun of it if they catch a joke. Everyone is a fun-loving person.

Insiders sneered secretly.

"The popularity of the Internet is useful. The most important thing for a movie is its box office."

"You can make these idiotic netizens happy, but if you ask them to spend money to go to the theater to watch movie tickets, do you think they are so stupid?"

The views of insiders are indeed correct to a certain extent. Internet popularity is sometimes not directly proportional to the box office of a movie.

Not all popular movies will have high box office in the end. There are many movies in the history of Hollywood that were extremely popular when they were released. They are highly anticipated. Judging from the momentum on the Internet, if the box office record is not increased by more than one billion, it seems that this will be buried. Same as a movie.

But when they were finally released, these films with low box office made people question their lives.

Of course, the popularity of the Internet does increase the box office, which is acknowledged by insiders, but the final result still depends on the quality of the movie.

They believe this because it is the ironclad law of Hollywood.

Then, the box office results on the first day of "Washington" came out.

$15.6 million.

This result made the eyes of people in the circle drop to the floor.

"This is impossible."

"Must be an illusion."

"How could a parody film of average quality have such a high box office?"

People in the industry were going crazy. It was completely beyond common sense that a spoof film that was of extremely average quality in their eyes could have such a high single-day box office.

No matter how shocked and disbelieving the people in the industry are, it is the fact.

"Washington" was a box office hit.

Seeing this result, Gore, the director of "The Bourne Supremacy", was shaking.

For him, this was the worst news.

The producer sighed and comforted him.

"No matter what, the quality of our movie is absolutely no problem. Even if the competitor "Washington" is very strong, we should not lose too much money."

Gore forced a smile, but that smile was uglier than crying.

"The Bourne Supremacy" is a high-quality action film that he carefully shot. It is his hard work. It was originally intended to be a blockbuster, but now it has fallen to the point where as long as it does not lose, it is a victory.

It's simply terrible.

But what can be done now? The movie schedule has been determined, and the copies have been sent to theaters. If you want to withdraw it, you can't do it, and he doesn't have to say about the withdrawal. The decision is mainly made by the film and television company.

The producer also sighed, his expression full of helplessness.

How could a spoof film have such a high box office? This is unreasonable and not normal.

However, the box office trend does not change according to anyone's will. On the Internet, the popularity of "Washington" remains at a high level.

And this movie is amazing. Other movies discuss the wonderful plot and the profound connotation expressed in it.

The movie "Washington" is so great that no one talks about the plot, and it starts to become abstract.

Netizens recommended this movie because of its weird style.

"I highly recommend everyone to watch the movie "Washington" because this movie tells the story of a real Washington."

"If you don't want to continue to be deceived, if you want to know the true history, then go watch "Washington".

"Everyone, hurry up and watch "Washington". If you don't watch it, you might not be able to see it again."

"For world peace and human harmony, you must watch "Washington"."

"Tom and Jerry died heroically to protect our right to watch this movie. We must not let them down."

"And Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse, they also died."

"After watching this movie, I suddenly awakened to my superpowers."

"I saw The Terminator in the theater yesterday."

In short, the recommendations from netizens stand out as being baffling and confusing.

In fact, it's easy to understand. It's just a joke. Netizens are all fun-loving people. What bad intentions can they have? They just want to have fun. Movies are just a vehicle for them to have fun.

Relatively speaking, film critics are more serious and their evaluation of this film is relatively objective.

"A qualified spoof film, but the marketing techniques and publicity methods are groundbreaking and worthy of learning by everyone."

"Facts have proven that as long as marketing and publicity are effective, even movies of average quality can achieve good box office results."

"Chinese director Xu Nan's first film has unexpectedly achieved good results, but this does not rely on the quality of the film, but on marketing. Major film and television companies should learn enough experience from the success of this film."

The media doesn't care about that much, and the headlines can be exaggerated.

“Chinese director’s new film shocked the whole United States.”

"Whether Hidden History is true or false, this is how movie marketing can go."

"Because of a movie, netizens started World War III."

"Earth-shattering marketing, carnival across the United States."

In a sense, "Washington" has created a record. In the past, most of the movies that can trigger national discussion are classic movies, but "Washington" is a spoof of average quality. piece.

It's not that this movie is bad, but it's just that it's too average. Just like the domestic anti-Japanese dramas, it's a pure mindless drama that has caused such a big commotion. It's amazing. matter.

The next day, the movie "The Bourne Supremacy" was released. Director Al Gore and the producers held a grand premiere, inviting a large number of insiders and media to attend.

The premiere was a success, and insiders responded well to the film, thinking it was a very exciting action film, at least a hundred times more exciting than the spoof "Washington".

But in terms of popularity on the Internet, "Washington" is a hundred times more popular than "The Bourne Supremacy".

The attention of netizens is limited. When their attention is mainly focused on playing hidden history memes, they cannot pay attention to other things.

"The Bourne Supremacy" is indeed exciting, but the level of excitement has not reached the point where it can attract the attention of netizens.

However, thanks to the previous publicity, the film's performance is pretty good.

"The Bourne Supremacy" took in $9.58 million at the box office on its first day.

In contrast, the box office of "Washington" was US$13.95 million, still at a high level.

After the news spread, people in the industry felt disappointed.
