Chapter 241 Can people who spread rumors everywhere be banned?
Ever since Kui Guang invested in and produced a movie, it can be said that every time a movie is released, it can create a craze on the Internet.
Except for those up-loaders who were sued by Kui Guang and were made to live in unrest every day, forced to devote their limited energy to the lawsuit and hide in their beds at night to curse Yang Ruoqian, the other up-loaders can be said to be having a blast.
Every time a movie of Kuiguang Group is released, it brings with it a huge wave of popularity. Film reviewers and bloggers only need to follow up and comment mindlessly, and any video can get millions of views.
Even small bloggers with only hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of fans can get high views by complaining about or explaining the movies under the Kuiguang Group.
"Dragon Son-in-Law", "The Boys", and the recently released "Titanic 2", which appears to be produced by the Shelter Company but is actually produced by the Kuiguang Group... Each of them has achieved maximum popularity.
One of the biggest beneficiaries is Xiao Liu Films.
After seizing the opportunity three times in a row and producing the commentary video at the first opportunity each time, both the number of fans and video data skyrocketed, and he even received a guaranteed contract incentive from the software platform.
Although the conditions of the contract are not very good, there are requirements for the total monthly video playback volume and average playback volume, and only after reaching the requirements can you get the "guaranteed" salary of 2,000 yuan per month. However, the Xiao Liu video account itself has a lot of fans and the quality is very good.
In addition, after the last "collaboration" with Kuiguang Group, Liu Bi Studio gained a lot of reputation, so there is no pressure for Liu Bi Studio to get the 2,000 yuan.
At least the income is stable and guaranteed.
For this purpose, Liu Bi even opened a new column called "Funny Zone", in which the latest and only submission was "Titanic 2".
After only a few days, Liu Bi's account received countless messages from fans urging them to update the funny section more often.
Liu Bi responded directly in his post: "I have seen all the recent comments from fans, but you may have a misunderstanding of this series of videos - in fact, compared to recommending good movies and complaining about bad movies, the production of the comedy section is the most difficult."
This is 70% true. After all, serious and funny movies like this are rare both in China and abroad. If it is a completely funny comedy, it can be classified as a good movie recommendation.
If a TV show or film is so bad that it makes people sick, but it is funny to complain about it, it will usually appear in the bad movie complaints.
It is really hard to find a unique movie like "Titanic 2". Most of them will be drowned in the vast amount of low-quality movies and TV series and will not make any waves at all.
If you force yourself to make a video and the quality doesn't meet the standards, the audience's high expectations will likely be lowered. It's better to leave it there for the time being, whet their appetite, and then make it again when you have really solid material.
In this way, the reputation of this column will improve, and the fans will be more sticky - everyone is looking forward to when the "Funny Tucao" will be updated, but if they find that the update is not "Funny Tucao", they will not mind clicking on the new manuscript of Xiao Liu's movie to take a look.
Liu Bi Studio now relies on the minimum living allowance and adheres to routine work, producing three or four videos every month. The minimum living allowance plus advertising fees are enough to keep the studio above the poverty line.
Of course, one should never forget the person who dug the well. After all, Liu Bi made a lot of benefits from the Kuiguang Group and even opened a new special zone for it, so he always has to say something good about it.
"Friends outside the industry may be unfamiliar with the production company of the movie Titanic 2, Shelter, but many people don't know that this company is controlled by Kuiguang Group."
"This is the third movie they shot. To be honest, whether it's the graphics, special effects, actors, or director, they all deserve the word 'shoddy'. The total production cost of the movie will not exceed 500,000."
"Perhaps many people will think that the reason why Kuiguang Group can make such a movie is that they must have made too much money and lost their focus. People become different when they get rich. No matter how funny the plot seems, it cannot hide the fact that this is a bad movie..."
"The truth may be just the opposite! Anyone who thinks so is wrong!"
"According to everyone's consensus, 20 to 30 percent of the box office revenue will be distributed to the film production company, so the guaranteed profit for Kuiguang Group this time is 200 million! Ladies and gentlemen, what is the concept of 200 million? Just deposit it in the bank and earn interest, and you can easily get 500,000."
"Even if Kuiguang Group wants to mess up, it will not ruin its own company's reputation for the sake of a production cost of 500,000. It's not worth it to do so."
"Why would a company that has grown so fast and has made few failed investments still make such a movie? Have you ever thought about the underlying reasons?"
"The reason is simple. Kuiguang is not only making blockbusters and presenting a visual feast to the audience, they are also trying to improve the current environment of the film and television industry."
"As we all know, in the entertainment industry, the strong take all. There are only a few good TV shows and variety shows every year, and only a few actors and idols can be accommodated. The opportunities for display are limited, and famous artists can eat up the entire market, while others can't even get a piece of the pie."
"Even within the Kuiguang Group itself, the same problem exists. The Black Robe Inspection Team certainly made several leading actors famous, but how many such films can they make in a year if they work at full capacity? And even if they do make some, how will the limited leading roles be allocated?"
"Kuiguang saw this early on, and they are trying to develop another track - is there such a market with low investment, fast production, and audience buy-in?"
"Will there be such a market that can allow those frustrated actors to at least appear on the big screen once, so that they can at least have an income to support their livelihood and have enough capital to continue to struggle in the entertainment industry?"
"Even though it has achieved great success, Kuiguang, a company that has climbed up from the bottom step by step, keeps asking itself all the time, can it let some fresh air flow into this cramped entertainment industry?"
"Now, Kuiguang Group can proudly say that they have done it - even though the money they earn from these TV series may not be as much as the interest they earn in the bank, they still did it without hesitation."
"I can only say that Kuiguang is a conscientious company that attaches great importance to the internal ecology of the industry and is willing to spend money, energy and time to delve into this thankless task that may even 'aid the enemy'."
"Here, I would like to appeal to everyone. If you have nothing to do and want to watch something fun to relieve your boredom, you can consider watching the movies of Shelter. Perhaps because of your little insignificant support, a buried artist will have one more reason to persevere."
"And this movie is really interesting (I'm really not a troll, haha)."
As soon as this long article was published, it was immediately forwarded by countless people, and the popularity was even higher than "Titanic 2" itself! It even resonated with many people in the industry! "Ah? Is there really such a company?"
"If another company said this, I definitely wouldn't believe it and would definitely think it was a marketing ploy...but since you said it was Kuiguang, I think it has some credibility."
"That's nonsense. I would be willing to sacrifice my life for the boss if he could provide any one of the benefits in Kuiguang Group! I believe their boss really has some dreams in mind."
"I've watched the original movie without skipping a single minute. To be honest, it's a zillion times funnier than the narration, hahaha! Everyone go watch it. If you don't have a membership, you can just watch an ad. It's definitely worth it!"
"As an unknown extra who has been struggling in the entertainment industry for several years, I feel deeply touched. Kui Guang is simply my hero."
"Fuck, from now on, I feel like I can watch any movie produced by Kuiguang Group without any hesitation. Not only do they put a lot of effort into making every movie, but they also take on things that shouldn't be their responsibility. What's there to hesitate about?"
"Such a conscientious company cannot fail! I fully support it anyway!"
Feng Luo [Yellow V Certification]: "I was wondering why they rejected my cooperation invitation last time. It turns out this is the reason!"
"Capture Sister Feng herself alive!"
"Sister Feng was actually rejected?!"
"I'm suddenly very interested in the boss of Kuiguang Group. Is there any media outlet that would like to publish an exclusive interview with him?"
…
Yang Ruoqian was stunned as he watched the craze that the bad copycat movie "Titanic 2" had created on the Internet.
“What the hell? It’s fine if the company’s employees and partners are maliciously imagining things, but why can even an up-loader who has nothing to do with me slander me so casually?”
In order to avoid causing a stir, Yang Ruoqian specifically instructed the operation department to keep the promotion of "Titanic 2" to a minimum! As a result, "Xiao Liu Movie" just relied on imagination and made a big move, and all Yang Ruoqian's efforts went to waste?
Wow, they shot a knockoff and it became a matter of life and death for the entire entertainment industry, right? The key is that other people really believed it!
This is outrageous!
The feud between "Xiao Liu Film" and Kuiguang Group has a "history".
An extremely outrageous film, "Dragon Son-in-law Protecting the Nation", was hyped up as a comedy blockbuster, causing Mr. Yang's confident debut in the entertainment industry to suffer a disastrous defeat.
The trailer for "The Boys" was explained before the film was released, which not only brought a lot of popularity, but also served as the direct fuse for the war between Kui Guang and Yue Fu, bringing the popularity of the entire film to an unprecedented height.
This time, he even said something like a bad movie could save the entertainment industry.
No matter which of the three films released since the company was founded, "Xiao Liu Movie" is always in place in time and at the forefront of hype. He even praises the worst one the most.
This made Yang Ruoqian a little unconfident about the science fiction work "The Wandering Blue Planet" that he was about to start filming in the future.
No, we can't let this thorn in our side run rampant in our own territory.
This person must be shut up! Yang Ruoqian sighed and asked jokingly, "System, if I want to ban someone, can I use the company's funds to reimburse me?"
This question is just a joke - Liu Bi's starting point is good after all, although it would be better for him not to set off.
In fact, this matter cannot be blamed entirely on Liu Bi.
At the beginning, Yang Ruoqian and other partners felt that the logic behind this copycat movie making money was similar to that of other copycat products. With low publicity and promotion costs and low production costs, as long as there was a little market, it would be easy to make a profit.
But judging from the number of views of these videos, it seems that everyone is very interested in this bad movie itself!
Soon, the system "blocked" this question and gave a brief answer.
[If you want to forcibly ban artists with bad records, artists who have made extremely improper remarks, or other people who meet the regulations (see Article 202 for detailed regulations), you can use company funds to reimburse and it will not be judged as malicious competition]
“No way…”
Yang Ruoqian has too many serious concerns now, and he would not be able to handle another one.
It must be resolved immediately.
The problem is that the hard approach is prohibited by the system, and the soft approach... Liu Bi has already proved with his actions that he is still a relatively principled person.
Spending money to avoid disaster may not work... and if too much money is spent and the matter is "accidentally" exposed, it may cause more serious consequences.
For example, it further confirmed the rumor that Kuiguang Group did not value fame and gain, which led to more generous donations from the audience. Even if the movie was really rubbish, the audience was willing to give it for love...
"I don't believe that a person has no weaknesses at all." Yang Ruoqian made a vicious call to the Ministry of Justice and assigned new tasks to the detectives who were idle because of the evidence that fell from the sky.
"Everyone, organize all your forces and use legal means to investigate the detailed information of the people in 'Xiao Liu Movie'. Well, don't harass others and don't touch other people's privacy."
Facing a mortal enemy, Mr. Yang, who had suffered losses many times, put in his utmost spirit.
The opponent must be strangled in the cradle before it grows up! Even for the sake of the "Wandering Blue Planet" that has not yet started filming, all hidden dangers must be eliminated.
Yang Ruoqian issued a general mobilization order to the company, requiring the new film to fail, not succeed.
After arranging the work, Mr. Yang, who had been busy these days, checked his recent schedule and finally found that there was nothing else to do for the time being.
After finally getting a break, Yang Ruoqian turned his chair around, opened the game client, and wanted to take this opportunity to play a few games.
However, before he was matched with anyone in the game, his phone showed that he had an incoming call.
The number had a name on it, so it was obviously not a stranger. But the problem was that Yang Ruoqian just felt somewhat familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who this person was.
How could someone who traveled back ten years later remember it so clearly...
"It's over. I can't remember who this person is all of a sudden..." Mr. Yang is a respectable man. Even if he doesn't know him, he has to pretend to know him.
So he picked up the phone, pretending to be very familiar with her and asking about her well-being, "Hey, isn't this Xiaogui? I haven't contacted you for a long time! How come you suddenly thought of me?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for about seven or eight seconds.
A slightly awkward voice came from the receiver: "Xiao Yang, how are you? How are you? The teacher is busy too..."
“…”
Oh, it turned out to be the teacher. This reminder reminded me of it.
I don't know why I suddenly feel a little awkward...
After all, he was a teacher, and he was used to embarrassing situations. He had also made a fool of himself in front of dozens of people in the class. He quickly adjusted his state and said loudly: "Student Yang Ruoqian, congratulations on your wealth!"
