Chapter 704

On the Internet, fans of "city of darkness" and fans of "Shawshank Redemption" have already launched a scoring war without gunpowder. The two sides take IMDB as their position, frequently haunt each other's area, and use one star scoring in their hands as a weapon to launch attacks. They call on each other, confront each other tit for tat, and never give in.

Although Shawshank Redemption failed miserably at the box office when it was released, and the box office was still mediocre after numerous sympathies of the Oscar defeat. However, since the middle and late last century, it has become the masterpiece of IMDB after being praised by the media and fans. After more than ten years of network and television broadcasting, as well as video and DVD rental, it has accumulated a large number of fans, and even formed a large audience Many fan organizations like Christian Franklin.

Organized combat is much more powerful than the attack of stragglers!

Compared with Shawshank's redemption, dark city is no inferior. Led by Daisy's IMDB discussion group, the Murphy Stanton fan association in New York, Los Angeles and other cities, as well as Murphy's professional black powder organization, all of them are involved in the battle.

In the past decade or so, it is the time when Murphy has risen rapidly. His fans are much younger than those of shawshank redemption. Moreover, the appeal of more than ten films has made the range of supporters more extensive.

All in all, fans of Shawshank's redemption score low for dark city, and Murphy and fans of dark city score low for Shawshank's redemption.

However, in addition to the black powder organization and 20th Century Fox's preparation for hype, Murphy, CAA and 20th Century Fox did not put much effort on this, especially the more professional promotion team, which did not directly participate in the war.

With the current momentum of "dark city", this small dispute can't be held back at all. In the 20th century, fox is more prepared to create topics instead of directly participating in them. It's enough for Murphy's fans to participate in these disputes.

Because they are not stupid at all, which may be hard for outsiders to detect, but fox has its own quantitative assessment in the 20th century. It knows that the number of die hard fans of Murphy is far more than that of the Shawshank Redemption fans, and the organization is more rigorous. Such an online scoring war is bound to win.

The war between the IMDB of "the city of darkness" and "The Shawshank Redemption" has become increasingly fierce.

The mutual harm between the two films is inevitable. In just three days, even though many fans are scoring high for "dark city", its IMDB score still dropped to 9.5.

Of course, "Shawshank Redemption" is falling faster than "city of darkness". In the same three days, the IMDB score of the film dropped 0.2, from 9.2 to 9.0!

Shawshank's redemption not only lost two scores of the city of darkness, but also lost its runner up position in the top 250 of the best movies. It was overtaken by the godfather and became the third place from the second place.

As the IMDB scores of the Shawshank Redemption and the city of darkness are declining day by day, their fanatical fans have deliberately cast a lot of low scores for their opponents in order to be the top of the list. On Thursday, the 1-point vote of the Shawshank Redemption quickly rose to nearly 7%, and the city of darkness is not much better than 1-point vote The proportion of votes has reached nearly four percent, but it has more than 100000 ten votes, which ensures that the film will occupy the first place in the top 250 with 9.5 points.

Most of the time, fans' behavior is spontaneous and fanatical. Fans of the two films not only brush low marks with each other, but also attack each other in their respective comment area, and even rise to the level of abuse.

For example, the fans of Shawshank Redemption angrily say that the fans of dark city are a group of brain palsy who can't distinguish good from evil!

After all, this is a scoring war depending on the number of users who participate in the war with the Internet. In this regard, Murphy, who is famous in the Internet era, has more nostalgic fans than the "Shawshank Redemption". Moreover, the Internet has always been an active front for young people, although Murphy's fans are relatively old, The average age is much younger than the shawshank redemption. Even though there are many fans of the Shawshank Redemption, they are still unable to compete with the younger generation on the Internet.

In the next few days, the IMDB section of shawshank redemption was almost occupied by Murphy's fans, and the score dropped from 9.0 to 8.8, directly out of the top five of the top 250!

At the same time, with the call of major fan organizations and the efforts of many fans, "city of darkness" has stabilized after it dropped to 9.4.

On the one hand, this is the effort of Murphy fans to brush high scores. On the other hand, the effective scores of IMDB have certain access rules. After consuming a large number of effective old users in the early stage, the fans of shawshank redemption are seriously lack of stamina and begin to appear unsustainable situation.

Watching the Shawshank Redemption fall from the second place to the fifth place, a group of people led by Christian Franklin are certainly not reconciled.As a result, fans of Shawshank Redemption chose to expand the war area. Some people pretended to be fans of Murphy and dark city and began to attack other top 250 movies, such as godfather, the twelve angry men and Lord of the rings 3: the return of the king.

In less than half a day, a large number of 1-point votes appeared in the ratings of these films.

Then, more and more fans joined in. While the fans of "dark city" attacked "Shawshank's redemption", they also went to other film areas to lower their scores by pretending to be fans of "Shawshank's redemption". The fans of other films did not subdivide, and they began to lower their scores for "Shawshank's redemption" and "dark city".

Although IMDB used to be frequented by water forces, the order of IMDB was still good. The behavior of fans this time undoubtedly seriously damaged the order of IMDB. Especially on the Internet, people's self-control is worse. It's common to leave messages and attack each other.

These fights even spread to many film and television forums and social networking sites. Even Murphy's official twitter and facebook accounts were not spared. A large number of attacks and abusive remarks appeared in his message board.

When things get to this point, they naturally get the attention of the media.

"In previous MDB charts, especially before the release of dark city, Shawshank Redemption came first, godfather came second, and Lord of the rings 3: the return of the king came third."

"Until one day, Murphy Stanton came on stage with" the city of darkness ", just like a bright meteor across the sky, breaking the original quiet night sky. Countless sleeping fans opened their eyes and turned their eyes to the sky. The gear of fate also began to work."

"For many fans in Hollywood and North America, Murphy Stanton is originally a god shining with black light." city of darkness "is just like a new God created by the LORD God, which has attracted many believers and absorbed a lot of faith. Fanatical believers vow to push their God to the top of the world."

"In order to beat the invincible Shawshank Redemption, they kept scoring 10 points for" dark city "and 1 point for" Shawshank Redemption "in the scoring column of IMDB website day and night, and the fans of" Shawshank Redemption "were doing the same action..."

The reports in the Los Angeles Times and Hollywood Reporter undoubtedly extend the internet war to the level of traditional media.

Some tabloids, fearing that the world would not be in chaos, began to take advantage of the incident to fight directly on the streets between the fans who hyped Murphy and the fans of Shawshank Redemption, saying that the fans of the two sides in Los Angeles, in order to brush up the division war and maintain the films they supported, had upgraded from the Internet curse war to the real society fight.

Tabloids are not completely distorting the facts. In an event in North Hollywood, several fans did move because of the dispute between "dark city" and "Shawshank Redemption", but it was just a simple physical conflict, not as serious as they said.

News like this has been hyped by tabloids and spread all over the Internet. It doesn't matter much for Shawshank Redemption, which has been shown for more than ten years. However, the city of darkness, which is being shown in cinemas, has more attractive gimmicks.
