The first reaction in William's mind was: Bailondu Mania is also in Los Angeles! And it’s happening tonight at Landmark Cinemas! They actually had no chance to see each other！
So he quickly left a message under the post, "Also at the landmark theater in Los Angeles. Master Renly was like a moveable feast, and the colorful colors only became brighter when he actually walked around. Back then on the street That was true when watching him perform 'Ophelia', and it's true when seeing him discuss the performance tonight at the cinema.”
After finishing the reply, William quickly browsed through the other replies below. In the short time he left his message, the number of replies increased by more than a hundred. In the messages, many people shouted, "You abandoned us." Is it Depp? When was the last time James McAvoy was pictured? Will Robert Downey Jr.’s version of Sherlock Holmes continue to be updated?？”……
William was confused when he saw this, and after taking a closer look at the replies, he suddenly realized.
It turns out that this "White Dragon Mania" is actually a famous movie blogger, or to be more precise, a famous movie fan blogger. He or she is a famous illustrator who not only published his own picture book , and occasionally takes on some brand and trademark design business, and also has his own blog..
However, "Brando Mania" himself, as the nickname suggests, is a Marlon Brando fanatic. His blog often updates some illustrations of Marlon Brando during his peak period in the golden era, which has won a lot of praise; occasionally He can draw pictures of his favorite movie actors recently, which has also gained him a large number of loyal followers. He only hopes that he can pay attention to his idols..
William quickly searched for the nickname "White Dragon Mania" and found his personal blog website registered with the same nickname. When he opened the webpage, he could see the number of visitors in the 24 hours displayed on the left, which was actually 300,000. For a blog with a personal domain name, it is incredible. It can be seen that "White Dragon Mania" still has a very solid supporter base on the Internet..
It is a pity that Brando Mania has not updated its hand drawings for a long time, but the blog posts have been updated. His last hand drawing was drawn in April this year, and it was a picture of Sherlock played by Robert Downey Jr.- Sherlock Holmes (sheok-ho1ms). Now, half a year later, Renly’s appearance has once again stimulated his creative enthusiasm！
Before this, Brando fanaticism was just a comment and reply, and did not attract widespread attention in the Yahoo community. But today, he drew a watercolor picture of Renly for the first time, which also proved his love for Renly. It immediately aroused the enthusiasm of netizens. William immediately became excited.！
However, the blog did not update the Yahoo community post at the same time. The latest post clearly stated, "The blog is no longer in use! Future paintings will be updated to mobile application level, photo wall (instagram), welcome to follow." The following. The comments were full of complaints. For a blogger who has not updated for half a year, everyone lacks enough trust. Even if he switches to the platform, it is estimated that this blogger will continue to be lazy..
William Xun picked up his mobile phone and found the "Photo Wall" application in the app store. This was actually a brand-new software that was just released ten days ago, but the number of downloads has already ranked among the top three in the free application rankings. It is very popular. The extent is truly astonishing.
After almost completing the registration, William easily found the Brando fanatic user. Sure enough, the latest photo was the hand-drawn picture just updated in the Yahoo community. The label below read, "'Buried Alive' Returning from the Movie." The biggest surprise of the year!" The tags added after it are "Renly Hall", "Buried Alive"”.
Although this is a newly launched software, Brando Fanatic relies on its strong supporter base, and its fans have exceeded 50,000, which is really impressive; and the hand-drawn drawing just updated, in just twenty-five minutes, It received 4,000 likes, and there was a long line of comments below, with constant applause, and many people added similar tags..
William had an idea and looked at the ranking list of the photo wall. Sure enough, the tag "Buried Alive" has entered the instant hot list, with more than 3,300 users using this tag..
What can be expected is that more and more people will hear about the movie "Buried Alive" and even choose to go to the cinema because of the movie's good reputation.！
An unknown independent film was screened in only 11 art theaters. Without any support from publicity expenses, it only relied on the curiosity and enthusiasm of the audience. It actually gained such attention in less than 12 years. Within hours, it first caused a frenzy of discussion in the Yahoo community, and then spread widely on Facebook and photo walls. It even entered the list of popular keywords. It was successfully achieved without spending a penny. To carve out a bloody path was completely unimaginable before..
The power of the Internet is far beyond people's expectations, or is it just as expected. Will one day in the future, the high development of artificial intelligence, eventually subvert human rule? But no matter what, the reflection on "Buried Alive" has exploded on the Internet thanks to this popular trend..
Returning to the Yahoo community, sure enough, the reply rate and click-through rate hit new highs. Just Brando's fanatical post attracted 20,000 clicks and 1,500 replies. This has doubled. The speed is so fast that it is hard to imagine how many netizens in North America are staying up all night, and how many of them refuse to sleep because of the screening of "Buried Alive"？
What’s more interesting is, how many people are like William who are too excited to sleep? He didn't feel sleepy or tired after staying up all night. His mind continued to be excited and exciting, constantly replaying the scenes and clips of the exchange with Renly in the screening room, the details about the movie, the conversation about Renly, and the process of watching the movie. , all the news is like an active volcano, continuously erupting！
When William saw the nicknames of Graham and Hope appearing in the list of replies, he finally couldn't hold it back and laughed heartily. Obviously, he was not alone..
“The New York Times”, Yahoo Communities, social networks… So, what’s next?？
William quickly opened imdb.
This is undoubtedly the largest gathering place for senior movie fans in North America. People can think that imdb's tastes are too popular, or they can think that imdb's preferences are too market-oriented, but no one can deny that this is the opinion of hardcore moviegoers in North America. The largest platform, imdb's user rating system is complex and authoritative. It is now on par with media reviews, Rotten Tomatoes index and theater ratings, and has become an important criterion for measuring the reputation and quality of a movie..
William was immediately disappointed when he saw the imdb rating. The number of voters was only 781, which was really pitiful. It didn't even cross the threshold of 1,000. Although the current rating is an incredible eight Five points, but William also knows that because there are too few voting users, this score cannot be counted, and it cannot be included in the list of 250 best films; moreover, it cannot reflect the true opinions of users..
Expectations are too high, leading to disappointment.
But William quickly calmed down and thought about it carefully: Currently, "Buried Alive" has only been screened in eleven theaters, and it is a midnight show. Even if every show is full, the audience will only be 3,000 or 4,000 at most. Only a thousand people, but in real life, this is obviously unrealistic.
In other words, when only 1,000 or 2,000 viewers watched the movie, nearly 800 people logged on to imdb to vote, and gave a high average score of 8.5. For reference, currently Among the list of 250 best films, only 50 films have an average score of 8.5.
What does this mean? It shows that the reputation of the first batch of viewers of "Buried Alive" has exploded.！
“The composition of the audience at the midnight show of "Buried Alive" was extremely special. Not only were the supporters present, but there were also opponents, onlookers watching the fun, and even nitpicking provocateurs. In the midst of many mixed opinions Among them, "Buried Alive" received an average score of 8.5. Does this mean... Renly's performance silenced the opponents and doubters?？
After realizing this, William became excited again！
Habitually opening the official website of the "Los Angeles Times", William saw at a glance what was just reported thirty-five minutes ago, "'The Furious 5' crew collectively attended the midnight screening of 'Buried Alive', triggering a movie-watching craze.！”
In the report, they did not provide photos of the landmark theater. Instead, they provided photos of the entire crew going to Paul Walker's villa in Santa Monica for a party. It can be seen that they missed the midnight classic time, but still caught the tail end of this news focus and successfully boarded this hot spot bus..
“The Los Angeles Times and the New York Times, two top media outlets with influence covering both coastlines, have successively focused their attention on "Buried Alive". This is absolutely flattering for an independent film without any publicity resources..
You know, most independent films are almost ignored. They rely on word-of-mouth from the audience, the crew members running around shouting non-stop, and practical publicity to barely open up some markets. But now, "Buried Alive" ” is ushering in an incredible debut！
What's even more commendable is that the instant discussion of "Buried Alive" has surpassed "Paranormal Activity 2" and became the most popular on October 22. This is the real miracle.！
Because, "Paranormal Activity 2" not only held a small but grand screening, but was also released simultaneously in 3,216 theaters across the United States. In other words, the screening venues for "Buried Alive" were even Not as good as a fraction of the opponent's.
