Chapter 1,261 Unlimited Acquisition
"Joseph, yes, those commentators of yours are too vicious. According to the latest data I got, the attendance rate of all 1,028 theaters in the 'Forest Cinema Screening Room' is less than 50%. Haha, after a few more fierce attacks, "Hero"
"That's it! Lin Feng invested 800 million US dollars, he is really brave!" Ibuka laughed sarcastically.
Joseph sighed with emotion. If 800 million US dollars is invested in 23 movies, it is just ordinary and ordinary. But investing in a TV series is a bit too exaggerated. It can be said that "20th Century Fox" even thinks that it does not have the courage.
However, Lin Feng actually has such courage and courage. Although he is a competitor and an enemy, Joseph still admires him. Of course, this is also a stupid behavior!
At present, the attendance rate of "Hero" reruns is less than half. As long as their "fire" is more intense, you can imagine the attendance rate of "Hero" in the future!
"Ibuka Izuka, please cooperate with me. Let's give Heroes another fatal blow and make its 800 million US dollars investment completely ruined." Joseph snorted.
Since Lin Feng wants to hold the "Lin Feng Film and Art Festival", then there must be a large number of films to support this film festival. But now, major American film companies, under the constraints of the "Oscar Alliance", dare not make a clear stance
Support participating in the "Lin Feng Film and Art Festival". Therefore, if Lam Feng does not want to become a joke, he must invest heavily in making films to participate in his own film festival. When the time comes, Lin Feng will shoot one film and they will destroy one.
As long as a few more films are destroyed, the reputation of Lam Feng Film Company will be completely ruined. At that time, if Lam Feng does not want his film festival to become a joke, then he must continue to invest.
If he continues to invest, tens of millions of dollars per movie, and dozens of movies made a year, are not billions of dollars. He wants to see how much financial resources Lin Feng has to make movies. Hum, how much money do you have, I will let you
How much do you pay? - Izuku Ibuka smiled evilly. As long as he can defeat the biggest enemy of "Sony", his position as the president of "Sony" will be certain.
However, just as the two were preparing to continue to intensify their "cannon fire" attack, their phones kept ringing.
"Mr. Joseph, those film critics of yours have done a lot of harm to our newspaper!" - The editor-in-chief of "USA Today" got on the phone and started pouring out his complaints non-stop.
"What's wrong?" Joseph was stunned.
"Well, Joseph, regarding the comments about "Hero" published by your company, a large number of viewers have now called to complain, saying that we did not comment on "Hero" fairly, but only blindly smeared "Hero", and there was no objective and fair approach.
Commenting on "Heroes", they also said that we misled the audience. These audiences demanded that we withdraw those false apologies and publicly apologize." - "USA Today" editor-in-chief looked bitter.
Joseph heard this and sneered.
"Why should you care about what these viewers say? They are just hot-headed and have been bewitched by Lin Feng and others to make phone calls. Perhaps these people were arranged by Lin Feng with money. As a media person, you must have the backbone of absolute freedom of press.
, cannot be bowed down by any words or things." Joseph spoke at length.
"Mr. Joseph, this is certainly true. But these viewers keep calling and even threaten to refuse to buy our newspapers if the relevant comments are not withdrawn. If these things are known to the boss, we have no way to explain."
The editor is very upset.
Joseph frowned.
"In this way, next time we buy more advertising space from your newspaper, you will have a way to explain it to the boss!" Joseph snorted in his heart. He said that the audience complained and boycotted the newspaper, and he didn't want to take the opportunity to knock some bamboo poles. However,
Joseph had already prepared for this, so he didn't care. Just knock some bamboo poles, just knock some bamboo poles! As long as Lin Feng can be exposed to the film industry, this loss is completely bearable.
"Okay, okay, let's do that!" - The editor-in-chief of USA Today thought for a while and reluctantly agreed.
"However, if the audience really boycotts the newspaper, Mr. Joseph, no matter how much advertising space you buy, it will be useless." - The editor-in-chief of USA Today hung up the phone after saying this.
Joseph snorted coldly. He didn't expect that Lin Feng was so shameless and wanted to use the audience to pressure them to stop these comments. However, this childish method of trying to disrupt their offensive was a delusion.
But what surprised Joseph was that the editors-in-chief of many well-known American newspapers, such as the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, all called one after another. Without exception, they all complained about the collective protests and complaints from the audience.
Audiences want to boycott newspapers to blackmail them into withdrawing these comments. Joseph, without exception, responds by increasing his advertising investment.
After dozens of phone calls, Joseph heaved a sigh of relief. He finally had to deal with these editors, but this Lin Feng was so powerful that he was able to mobilize so many viewers to call and threaten dozens of newspapers across the United States.
Okay, Lin Feng, you are awesome! If not, I will see how much money you have to control these so-called "audiences" to call and complain. - Joseph sneered. In the United States, nothing is expensive, only labor is expensive. He
I don’t believe how long Lin Feng can keep asking tens of thousands of viewers to call and complain. According to the market price, if the phone calls are made every day, the labor cost will be at least 100 US dollars a day. 10,000 people, that is 1 million US dollars. Just Chong Lin
The scale of Feng's campaign was such that it could harass almost all mainstream newspapers in the United States. It would take at least more than 100,000 people to achieve this effect, and maybe more. That would cost tens of millions of dollars a day.
You, Lin Feng, are rich, but let me see how much money you can have! - Joseph looked on coldly.
"By the way, Izumi, have you also received phone calls and complaints from those editors?" Joseph asked.
"Yeah, but it's okay, these editors just want to earn more advertising fees." Ibuka sneered.
Joseph nodded. Isn't it a joke that these editors said that the audience wanted to boycott the newspaper? This kind of thing has never happened. Moreover, a discerning person will know at a glance that these audiences are initiated by Lin Feng, otherwise how could there be so many
Viewers called to complain.
"Okay, well, Izumi, this time we will unite the power of the entire American film company to drive Lin Feng out of the film industry completely." Joseph said.
Ibuka nodded.
Immediately after the "Oscar Alliance" promised more advertising, major newspapers across the United States once again intensified their criticism of "Heroes"!
"Lin, it seems that your method of inciting the audience is not working!" Ellison looked at the overwhelming comments about "Heroes" in the newspapers with a depressed look. He, Ellison, has never been so unfairly accused, and was actually treated like this
Scolding, how could he be embarrassed?
"Haha, don't worry Ellison, the more fierce they criticize, the more intense the audience's reaction will be as long as "Heroes" is good enough. It's just a matter of time!" Lin Feng said easily.
Ellison thought for a while and nodded. However, it was the first time for Ellison to leave the matter to others and not under his control. It felt very awkward!
You know, with the continuous criticism from major newspapers across the United States, those viewers who watched "Heroes" went home and called to complain about the false reviews of major newspapers. Although they spread the word by word of mouth and called their friends, let them
I went to see "Hero", but in the face of the overwhelming criticism about "Hero", most viewers still shun "Hero". Therefore, for three consecutive days, the attendance rate of "Hero" was extremely dismal, although every time
After the screening, the audience cheered and applause continued in the cinema, but it did not help the actual box office revenue. The only good thing is that the package ticket sales reached an unprecedented 500,000 copies.
"By the way, Lin, I feel very strange. Why are there no comments about "Heroes" on the Internet now? It seems that a force has deliberately blocked them!" Ellison said suddenly.
Lin Feng smiled.
"Ellison, you finally discovered it!" Lin Feng smiled and explained that there were no comments about "Heroes" on the Internet.
It turns out that Lin Feng ordered "Baidu-Yahoo" to deliberately block all of this, and used the search power of "Baidu-Yahoo" to deliberately block comments about "Heroes". Therefore, whether they were positive comments or negative comments, all were blocked.
"Baidu-Yahoo" all blocked the screen. Lin Feng did this because he wanted to build momentum. For a movie, its reviews are very poor, which indeed affects the attendance rate. But if the reviews are the voice of criticism in the market, then
On the contrary, it will arouse the attention of some people and want to see how bad a movie that has been so poorly reviewed can be.
Is "Heroes" really bad? Obviously not! Not only is it not bad, it is actually quite good. Once the audience discovers this fact, the counterattack will be even greater. This is similar to the "Slingshot Theory" of the futures market.
Almost. Lin Feng wants to take this opportunity to smash the "Oscar Alliance"'s attack and blockade on his company's public opinion. After all, Lin Feng cannot change the pressure of public opinion brought by these newspapers. Therefore, Lin Feng can only
The only thing that can be changed is the attitude of the audience.
"By the way, why can't I search on 'Google'?" Ellison was curious.
Lin Feng could only say that "Google" could not search for relevant reviews of "Heroes". I am afraid that this is because "Google" wanted to secretly help the "Oscar Alliance", so it took the opportunity to secretly plot against himself. Unfortunately,
But "Google" didn't know that instead of really teasing him, it actually helped him. Now Lin Feng is just waiting for the audience's anger to reach its peak.
There are a lot of bad reviews! Every day after a movie of "Heroes" is aired, there are always a lot of bad reviews the next day. All the mainstream media in the United States criticized it, criticizing its plot jumps too much, poor character performances, and stunts.
So-so, in short, it is not worth spending money to watch TV series in the cinema!
On the contrary, those who watched "Heroes" thought that the plot was gripping and the character performances were on point. As for the stunts, although they are not top-notch, they are definitely better than most Hollywood movies. The flying scenes can definitely be compared with "Superman".
The scenes of time and space are no worse than "Future Soldier", and the battles between superpowers are no less than "X-Men". Such a movie can actually have 23 series. For everyone who has watched "
For the audience of "Hero", it is as addictive as a drug. As for it being a TV series, if it can be a TV series that is better than most Hollywood movies, I would rather spend money to watch it in the cinema. Just look at the screen, the sound effects,
It’s worth it!
"Paul, go watch "Hero", it's really good! Really! I will never lie to you!" A viewer who watched "Hero" and was extremely excited immediately found his friend and recommended it to him.
""Hero", is that movie rated as having three "nos" - no plot, no pictures, no acting? And I heard that it is sold as a TV series as a movie. Is this kind of movie worth watching? Humph, just like those comments
As he said, as long as we don't watch it, "Heroes" will be shown on TV sooner or later. In that case, why should we watch it?" Paul said disdainfully.
"Oh my God, Paul, you actually said that this "Heroes" is a three-nothing movie. You are going to piss me off. You only need to go and watch it to know how great this movie is!" I heard my best friend comment like this.
"Hero", this viewer was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
"I won't waste this money."
"Then I'll pay for it!"
"Forget it, I don't want to waste time!"
"I...I..., you will definitely regret it!" The excited audience walked away angrily.
"Tch, isn't it just a wasteful piece of "Hero"? Is it worth being so excited?" Paul said disdainfully.
Scenes like this have occurred in many cities in the United States. Many friends have become angry because of this, and have ignored each other for a long time, causing hundreds of thousands of friends to almost turn against each other. And this is one more thing for the "Oscar Alliance" to criticize "
The reason for "Hero".
——A movie that is bad enough to make your friends turn against each other. If you don’t want to turn against your friends, you’d better not watch “Heroes”.
"Lin, when are you going to wait until you fight back?" Ellison couldn't hold himself back anymore.
Now "Hero" has been put into 18 episodes, but the attendance rate is very miserable. Now "Hero" premieres at night, and then plays 5 more shows before the new one is played the next day, and the first show of "Hero"
It was full, with almost all seats occupied. However, the attendance rate for the five subsequent replays was very small. What’s even more ridiculous is that the package sales of "Hero" have sold a total of 2.32 million units so far, which is almost the "Forest Movie Screening Hall"
The total number of seats (a total of 2.4 million seats), but the remaining individual ticket sales for the five games combined, sold less than 1 million, of which there are still many viewers who watched it for the second and third time and spent money
Went to see it.
This is a very strange phenomenon. Judging from the premiere attendance rate, it is an excellent film. However, judging from the average attendance rate, it is a bad film. And this makes more viewers afraid of avoiding it.
"Wait until the last part!" Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a sharp look. Now the "slingshot" has been pressed low enough. When the last part is played, it will be enough to make it rebound. By then, Lin Feng
Fengdao wants to see how the "Oscar Alliance" prepares to suppress it.
To be continued...
