Harvey Weinstein put down the newspaper in his hand and smiled.
“Yes, yes, that guy from Roger Ebert has finally used all his energy, and he’s still very well connected in the film critics and academy. ”
Then he walked out of the office and came to his brother’s office next door, and without knocking, he pushed the door in.
Bob Weinstein was sitting behind his desk, scrolling his mouse and looking at the computer on the desk with a serious face.
“Hey, Bob, Roger Ebert has finally made a move, you contact him now and send the follow-up money over, this old man is still worth wooing. ”
Before Harvey finished speaking, Bob on the other side turned his head and looked at him seriously, and said, “Harvey, I think you should come and see this, the comments on the Internet are completely different from those in the newspapers.” ”
Harvey was stunned and leaned in.
“I used to trust film critics, but now I only trust myself. Oh, and I still believe Martin, he’s never made a bad movie. ”
“What do these critics measure the success of a film? I can’t understand what they think, but I approve of The Matrix anyway. ”
“Are they looking at a purely entertainment movie with the same eyes as a literary film? It’s so funny, I even think that those critics are deliberately trying to show that they are different, right?”
“Hehe, these film critics always put on an arrogant posture that only I am right in the world, and you all have to listen to me. But now, I trust my own vision more!”
In the era of poor information, film critics are the benchmark for measuring a movie, and people need to choose the movies they want to see from the reviews of film critics.
At that time, what they said was really authority!
But with the development of media, especially online media, times have changed.
In the face of the menacing movie-going craze, they simply could not affect the status of “The Matrix” in the hearts of supporters.
Their opposition is destined to make people laugh like clowns.
When it comes to influence and authority, Martin, who has been successful, can throw them ten streets.
In the minds of young people and women, they are more willing to trust and even follow Martin than these traditional film critics who can’t keep up with the trends of the times.
Therefore, Roger Ebert’s efforts can only be in vain, and even all this he has done has made Hollywood companies see the “weakness” of these film critics.
For example, Harvey Weinstein now.
“Hiss~!”
He gasped after reading the comments on his computer, and then hurriedly asked Bob, “How was the viewing of “The Matrix” today?”
Bob Weinstein didn’t answer, but took the mouse back and clicked twice on the computer, and a news page opened.
At the top of the page, there is a photo of people standing in a long line.
The people in the queue were either wearing black trench coats, black sunglasses, and even a few women wearing black tight leather jackets, which made Harvey feel uncomfortable on this hot day.
Isn’t it hot?!You’re going to have to be stuffy in it for hours if you fart?
(PS: To tell a joke, it’s about Kim Kardashian.) This eldest sister likes to wear leather pants, one day I don’t know if I have a bad stomach, I keep farting when I go shopping, and then when I return home, because the leather pants are difficult to take off, I asked the assistant to help, but the assistant pulled the pants down, and a fermented fart smell floated out, and the assistant vomited on the spot – I saw it in the tabloids before, I don’t know if it’s true or not, let’s watch it as a joke, laugh!)
“Damn, it looks like we’re really going to have to reevaluate the role of film critics. Harvey scratched his head, looking depressed.
Bob asked, “Do you want to pay Roger Ebert again?”
“the fart, to hell with this old guy!”
…………
The critics’ pushback didn’t work.
This spring season is destined to belong to “The Matrix”, which swept all other films of the same period, and there is no rival in the eyes.

With the arrival of Sunday, after two days of “The Matrix” plus the premiere screening and the fermentation of audience word-of-mouth, the attendance rate of a single show has further increased.
Especially in the later publicity, the Internet has become an important position for the “Matrix” publicity group, and posts discussing the film can be seen everywhere on major websites and forums.
In this era when the water army has not yet been flooded, the era of online propaganda pioneered by Martin is simply amazing.
Meyers Films has set up its own network public relations department and water army team since “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring”, and has experienced the practice of “The Lord of the Rings”, and now it has almost occupied an important film position on the Internet.
They control the evaluation of “The Matrix” on major website forums, and even control the rating of “The Matrix” not to drop 9.5 points on IMDB.
This kind of control is very important in the early stage.
With the end of the first week of the movie’s release, the first-week box office statistics are also out.
In just three days (excluding the premiere), the box office of “The Matrix” exceeded $90 million, reaching 93.24 million US dollars, almost breaking 100 million.
What makes Martin even happier is that all derivative products, including clothing and glasses, are almost sold out of stock.
“The Matrix” became the box office champion of the week without suspense.
In second place is the animated film “Kung Fu Panda”, also written by Martin.
That’s right, “Kung Fu Panda” was finally released ahead of “Spider-Man”, which was a decision made by Michael Eisner and Martin after discussion.
Of course, the spring file is not as popular as the summer file, but there are few strong competitors, and the two movies that have been labeled as Martin have been soaring all the way, scraping the pockets of their respective fan groups.
The peripherals of “Kung Fu Panda” also sold very well, but Martin didn’t get much of the money, and Disney took most of the money.
…………
Chicago, in a villa.
Bang, bang, ping-pong!
Roger Ebert is throwing something at home.
After venting, he sat down in his chair dejectedly and found that he had exhausted his donkey skills.
What’s even more terrifying is that because of this operation, he annoyed Martin, and the other party’s terrifying connections have been reflected.
Disney, Warner Bros., and even DreamWorks have all called and canceled invitations to premiere several films.
Although the other party has its own reasons, it did not mention (Li Nuozhao) to Martin.
But Roger Ebert was well aware that this was Martin’s revenge.
This fifteen-year-old child is definitely not a harmless guy who can climb to his current status in Hollywood step by step at a young age, and he has no ghosts!
…………
Martin did make a couple of phone calls.
For him, this is a small thing, but it ruined the career of some self-righteous “authority”.
But it is impossible for him not to retaliate. [ Read more novels for free on our website: Knight NovelS ]
