The first reaction in William's mind was: Bai Longdu Mania is actually in Los Angeles! And it's on the site of the Landmark Cinema tonight! They didn't even get to see it!
So, he also quickly left a message under the post, "It's also at the landmark theater scene in Los Angeles. Master Renly is like a flowing feast, and the colorful colors will only become brighter when he actually walks. Back then on the street That's how it was when watching him perform 'Ophelia,' and when I saw him discussing the performance in the cinema tonight."
After replying, William quickly browsed the other replies below. In the short period of time he left a message, the reply floor actually skyrocketed by more than 100. In the message, many people shouted, "You abandoned us. Is there Depp at home?" "When was the last James-McAvoy picture posted?" "Will Robert Downey Jr.'s version of Sherlock continue to be updated?"…
Seeing this, William was at a loss, and after reading the replies carefully, he suddenly realized.
It turns out that this "White Dragon Mania" is actually a well-known movie blogger—or, to be more precise, a well-known fan blogger, he—or she is a well-known illustrator who not only publishes his own , and occasionally take over the design business of some brand logos, and have his own blog at the same time.
However, "Brando Mania" himself, as the nickname suggests, is a Marlon Brando aficionado, and his blog is often updated with illustrations of the golden age of Marlon Brando's peak, which has won praise; occasionally He will draw a painting of his favorite movie actor recently, which has also gained him a large number of loyal followers. I only hope that he can pay attention to his idol.
William quickly searched for the nickname "White Dragon Mania" and found his personal blog site registered with the same nickname. When he opened the page, 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, this is incredible. It can be seen that "White Dragon Mania" still has a very solid supporter base on the Internet.
It's a pity that Brando Fever hasn't updated his hand drawings for a long time, but the blog posts have been updated all the time. His last hand drawing was drawn in April this year, and it was a Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock- Sherlos. Now, after half a year, Renly's appearance has once again stimulated his creative enthusiasm!
Before that, Brando Mania was just a reply, and it didn't attract widespread attention in the Yahoo community. But today, he drew Renly's watercolor for the first time, which also proved his love for Renly, and immediately detonated the enthusiasm of netizens. William immediately became excited!
However, the blog did not update the post in the Yahoo community synchronously. The latest post said, "Blog is no longer fun! Future paintings will be updated to the level of mobile applications, photo wall (Instagram), welcome to pay attention." The following The message is full of complaints. Everyone lacks enough trust in bloggers who have not updated for half a year. Even if they switch to the platform, it is estimated that this blogger will continue to be lazy.
William quickly picked up his mobile phone and found the app "Photo Wall" in the app store. It was actually a brand-new software that was just released ten days ago, but the number of downloads had already ranked among the top three free apps, and it was very popular. The extent is astonishing.
After quickly completing the registration, William found Brando's fanatical users effortlessly. Sure enough, the latest photo was the hand-drawn drawing just updated in the Yahoo community. The biggest surprise of the year!" The labels added later were "Renly-Hall" and "Buried Alive".
Although this is a brand new software, Brando Fanatic relies on its strong supporter base, and the number of fans has exceeded 50,000, which is quite impressive; and the hand-drawn drawing just updated, in just 25 minutes, It got 4,000 likes, and the message below was even more long, and the applause continued, and many people added similar tags.
William had an idea and looked at the ranking list on the photo wall. Sure enough, the tag "Buried Live" has entered the instant hot list, and more than 3,300 users have used the tag.
What can be expected is that more and more people will hear about the movie "Buried Alive" in the future, and even choose to enter the cinema because of the good reputation of the movie!
An unnamed independent film was screened in eleven art theaters in the district. Without any publicity expenses, relying solely on the curiosity and enthusiasm of the audience, it actually gained such attention—in less than ten Within two hours, it first sparked a frenzy of discussion in the Yahoo community, and then spread widely on Facebook, Instagram, and even entered the list of popular keywords. To kill a bloody path, which was completely unimaginable before.
The energy of the network is far beyond people's expectations - or is it just as people's expectations, will one day in the future, the high development of artificial intelligence will eventually subvert the domination of human beings? But no matter what, the Dianying of "Buried Alive" has detonated the Internet through this shareholder trend.
I went back to the Yahoo community, and sure enough, the reply rate and the click-through rate hit a new high. Just one post of Brando's fanaticism attracted 20,000 hits and 1,500 replies, which has grown exponentially. The speed is simply too fast, it is hard to imagine how many netizens stay up all night in North America, and how many of them refuse to sleep because of the "Buried Alive" screening
What's more interesting is, how many people are like William, who can't sleep with excitement? He didn't stay up all night to be sleepy and tired at all, and his mind continued to be excited and excited, constantly replaying the pictures and clips of the exchange with Renly in the screening room, the details of 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 that the nicknames of Graham and Hope appeared in the replies, he finally couldn't hold back and laughed happily. Obviously, he is not alone.
The New York Times, the Yahoo community, the social network... 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, and they can also think that IMDB's preferences are too market-oriented, but no one can deny that this is what the core North American moviegoers express their opinions. The largest platform, IMDB's user rating system is complex and authoritative. It is now on a par with media reviews, Rotten Tomatoes and theater ratings, and has become an important criterion for measuring a movie's reputation and quality.
Seeing the IMDB rating, William was immediately disappointed. The number of votes was only 781. This is really pitiful. He has not even crossed the threshold of 1,000. Although the current rating is an incredible 8 5 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, this cannot reflect the real views of users.
Expectations are so high that the disappointment increases.
But William quickly calmed down and thought about it carefully: At present, "Buried Alive" has only been screened in eleven theaters, and it is still a midnight show. Even if every show is full, the audience will be at most three thousand or four. A thousand people - but in real life, this is obviously impractical.
In other words, when only 1,000 or 2,000 viewers watched the movie, nearly 800 people logged into IMDB to vote, and gave a super high average score of 8.5. For reference, among the 250 best films on the list, only 50 have an average score of 8.5.
This shows what? It shows that the first batch of audience word-of-mouth of "Buried Alive" has exploded!
The audience composition of the "Buried Alive" midnight show is very special. Not only supporters attended, but also opponents, onlookers watching the fun, and even provocateurs who are nitpicking. Among the opinions, "Buried Alive" received an average score of 8.5. Does this mean that... Renly's performance has silenced the opponents and doubters
After realizing this, William started to get excited again!
Habitually opened the official website of the "Los Angeles Times", and William saw the latest report just updated thirty-five minutes ago at a glance, "The 'Fast and Furious 5' crew collectively attended the midnight screening of 'Buried Alive', detonating Movie viewing craze!"
In the report, they did not provide a photo of the landmark theater, but instead provided a photo of the entire crew heading to Paul Walker's villa in Santa Monica for a party. It can be seen that they missed the classic moment of the midnight show, but they still grabbed the tail of the news focus and successfully caught the hot bus.
"Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times", two top media with influence covering both sides of the coastline, have successively focused their attention on "Buried Alive". For an independent film without any publicity resources, it is absolutely Flattered.
You must know that most of the independent films are almost uninterested, relying on the audience's word of mouth, relying on the crew members running around and shouting non-stop, relying on the propaganda of their own efforts, can barely open some markets. But now, Buried Alive is making an incredible debut!
What is even more commendable is that the instant discussion of "Buried Alive" has surpassed that of "Smart: Ghost Record 2" and became the biggest hit on October 22. This is a real miracle!
Because, "Smart: Ghost Story 2" not only held a small but grand premiere, but also screened simultaneously in 3,216 theaters across the United States. In other words, the "Buried Alive" screening venue is not even a fraction of the opponent's.
