C1629 I Can't Beat Him
In the past, people thought that his label was young and handsome. Although he was not young anymore, Tao Xing had always thought that he had the strength. He had acting skills. In his opinion, the collaboration with Director Zhang this time was... A chance to change people's impression of him. He felt that his performance in this movie was quite good, and he thought that he would be able to do it this time. However, now it seemed that he still didn't believe it.
"It must be someone else dragging me down! It must be so!" Tao Xing obviously did not think that his acting skills were bad. He felt that the acting skills of the other actors were definitely not good. They dragged down the entire movie and also dragged him down.
However, Tao Xing probably forgot that other than him, in this movie, there were a lot of people who were at the level of a movie king or queen. There was no doubt about the strength of these people. However, most of these people were just there to add fuel to the fire. He was the lead actor of this movie, but he did not perform well. Besides, he was acting with the best actors and queens. It was even more obvious that his acting was clumsy.
"By the way, how was the reputation of Huang Feng's movie? Was it also bad?" Tao Xing suddenly said. It was fine if the reputation of his movie was bad. As long as Huang Feng's movie had a bad reputation as well, the two of them could offset each other. A bad reputation would not affect the box office of their movie. The box office of their movie... He would still surpass Huang Feng.
Although he could not make any breakthrough in this movie, to be able to surpass Huang Feng's movie box office, his first task was also completed. Tao Xing felt that he could be barely satisfied.
However, after the assistant heard Tao Xing's words, his expression became even uglier. After a while, he said, "Their movie's reputation is very good."
"Very good? How good can it be? This is impossible! Their movie's reputation is definitely not as good as ours! How much have they invested in their movie? Look at that lousy lineup. How can their reputation be better than ours? " Tao Xing clearly did not believe it. He felt that his movie's reputation was bad. Huang Feng and the others were definitely not good either. Their investment... How good could it be?
"Their movie's reputation is really better than ours." The assistant said, "Much better."
"Much better? Bullshit, this is absolutely impossible!" Tao Xing roared. He felt that he had lost control of himself. He did not want to lose to Huang Feng, even if it was only in terms of reputation.
Thinking of this, Tao Xing quickly came to his computer. He logged onto the grading website and saw his movie's grading first. That big "5" almost blinded his eyes. At this moment, the number of grading people for this movie... There were already 70,000 people, 70,000 people, and the rating was only 5. It was already destined that his score would not be high.
"These bastards, they don't even understand the movie I'm acting in. These ignorant people actually dared to give me such a low score. So many bad comments, all of them are bastards! " Tao Xing looked at the comments below and his expression became uglier and uglier. Because now, he had read dozens of comments. None of them were favorable comments. How was this possible?
Then, Tao Xing turned off the comments of his movie in a bad mood. Then, he went to see the comment on Huang Feng's movie and opened the page. He was shocked by the rating. His face was full of disbelief. He seemed to think that he was wrong. He rubbed his eyes. He looked at the computer screen again to make sure that he had not seen wrongly. The score was still there, and it was still the same score.
9. 5 points!
"How is this possible?!" Tao Xing shouted. Because he was too excited, his voice sounded very sharp. It was like he was a eunuch in the palace. However, at this moment... He could not care less. Huang Feng's movie had a rating of 9. 5 points, and there were already 50,000 people who had scored. How was that possible? How could there be such a high score in the score of 50,000 people? He had never seen such a score before. It was the one who maintained the current box office record. The score for that movie was only 7.8 points. That was a very high score in recent years.
However, what was the situation with Huang Feng's score? It actually surpassed so much?
"There's a ghost, there must be a ghost inside!" Tao Xing shouted, "Oh right, he must have hired a water army. This bastard is lying!"
"This website does not allow water armies to exist." The assistant reminded him in a low voice. The rating of this website... The reason it had authority was because they did not allow any Internet trolls to exist. In this aspect, they had put in a lot of effort and sealed quite a number of accounts. The effect was also very obvious. Internet trolls on this website... It was very difficult for them to survive, which was why this website had such authority.
"There must be Internet trolls. Otherwise, the rating would definitely not be so high!" Tao Xing still insisted, because he knew that the investors on his side... However, he also hired a film reviewer. Huang Feng hired a spammer. There was nothing strange about it.
"We also invited a water army!" Tao Xing said, "You do it right away!"
"But..." That assistant had not lost his mind like Tao Xing. He knew that it would not work to hire a water army. It would be discovered by that website very soon.
"No buts! I'll do it right away!" Tao Xing said angrily.
"Alright, I'll go now." The assistant quickly responded. He didn't want to continue enduring Tao Xing's anger here.
Seeing his assistant leave, Tao Xing's mood did not improve much. He looked at the dazzling 9. 5 points. Tao Xing felt like his heart was about to explode.
"Luckily, their box office sales are not as high as ours." Tao Xing looked at the real-time box office record and found that his movie's box office was still ranked first. This made him feel much more comfortable. As long as the movie's box office surpassed Huang Feng's, He was also satisfied. After all, he had previously bet on the box office. As for the reputation, they were not competing on the reputation. Furthermore, a good reputation did not mean that the box office sales would be high. Twenty years ago, there was also a movie that had a good reputation, right? In the end, didn't the box office still fail?
After Tao Xing comforted himself, his heart felt much better and he slowly calmed down.
However, his good mood could not be maintained. After more than an hour, his assistant came again and brought him bad news.
The Internet trolls and accounts they hired were all blocked. The comments were deleted and the scores were invalid. In other words, their money had been spent, but it had no effect at all. The website was moving too fast.
Actually, if it was during normal times, that website would also be able to find out who the spammer was. However, that would take some time. But... This time, they were very fast because of Huang Feng and Tao Xing's two movies. Now, they were all being watched. Huang Feng's movies had a good reputation. Tao Xing's movie had a bad reputation. After their investigation, these comments and evaluations were all true.
And now, there were suddenly many people who praised Tao Xing's movie. Then, they went to give Huang Feng's movie a low score. Such a person was too outstanding among everyone. It was the complete opposite of most people's scores. This naturally attracted the attention of the website. And the focus was on these people, so the identities of these people were quickly discovered. Their accounts were also instantly sealed, and there were no comments. It could be said that in this one hour or so, the scores were invalid. These people had worked for nothing. Furthermore, they had even let many ordinary fans know about Tao Xing's request for a spammer. This way, Tao Xing's movie had even more negative reviews.
"This bunch of bastards!" Tao Xing cursed angrily. He was scolding the manager of the website and those ordinary fans. The situation he was in now was caused by these people.
However, Tao Xing did not have any good ideas. Inviting the water army was obviously not going to work. What he could do was to increase the publicity of his movie as much as possible.
When Tao Xing was in a bad mood, Director Zhang was also in a bad mood. In the morning, he found that there was a huge difference in the rating of two movies. This almost made him drop his glasses. He was the same as Tao Xing. He did not believe that his movie's score was so low. Huang Feng's movie's score was actually so high.
However, through his connections, he knew that these ratings were real. In other words, most of the movie fans did not like his movie. They even hated it. They almost came to him to ask for his ticket money.
After that, Director Zhang disguised himself and personally went to the movie theater to watch Huang Feng's movie. After watching it, he stood there in a daze for a long time. Then, he sighed deeply and left the movie theater with disappointment.
Director Zhang did not know why his movie rating was so low. He felt that his movie was very good. But... He now understood why Huang Feng's movie score was so high. This was indeed a classic movie with a high score. That was very normal.
However, Director Zhang did not give up just like that. Instead, he hurriedly arranged for all the actors. He let them participate in the road show, participate in the program, and promote his own movie. He did not believe that in his movie... There were so many actors and actresses, as well as celebrities... Young and handsome, he had the upper hand in terms of number of fans. He didn't believe that he couldn't beat Huang Feng's movies.
However, at night, after he found out the number of seats for the two movies, he suddenly lost confidence in his own movies. After a whole day of public praise, Huang Feng's movie reputation had completely risen. The number of seats available at night was unexpectedly so high. There were so many places that were filled up. Such a grand scene had never appeared before. Although he was confident in his movie, but... The difference between the two of them this time was too great. He felt that he couldn't beat them.
