Chapter 426 - Changing Movie Review Rating (1/2)
Pei Qian realized that many movie reviewers had already written their reviews for Tomorrow is Beautiful while searching on the internet.
That was reasonable. There were not many good movies released recently, and these film reviewers were also eagerly waiting. They had to see a movie with such a high rating.
Pei Qian entered the keywords “Tomorrow is Beautiful’ and scanned the titles one by one.
“The Triple Meaning Behind ‘Tomorrow is Beautiful’ “
One look, and this was eliminated.
“What Will Consumerism Bring Us?”
Neither this could be used.
“The Dark Side of Technology in the Eyes of Pessimists”
Still no!
Pei Qian read several film reviews in a row and eliminated them directly from the title.
You could figure out from the words like ‘Triple Meaning’, ‘Dark Side of Technology’, and ‘Consumerism’ that they were reviewed after quite a fair amount of thought.
These people were already reading too much into it without him even giving them money!
“What’s in the mind of you film critics?!
“Deep meaning and pessimism again. Can’t you all analyze the superficial meaning of this film, its toxicity?”
Pei Qian was speechless and continued to work tirelessly to find the right one.
He was looking for the kind of poor review which had a huge number of likes and responses. The responses would only clearly make the audience realize that the reviews were twisted and hired fake reviewers!
He did not find any valuable comments after turning two or three pages in a row.
Pei Qian could only filter the ratings, sorting them from low to high and starting from one-star ratings. As expected, it seemed much more normal now.
“Failed Works with Lack of Imagination”
“No logic, full of loopholes”
“Suitable for young people to watch, can’t stand it after ten minutes”
“One-star rating because of Lu Zhiyao!”
Pei Qian nodded his head in satisfaction. Yes, this should be the case!
What a pity that there were too few of such reviews. There were not many reviews as well. It seemed like everyone was stubbornly stomping them down. There was zero desire to compete with the other critics.
Pei Qian clicked in casually to take a look and found that they did not quite meet his requirements either.
Reviews who gave one-star ratings were basically very subjective. They were very one-sided and gave such ratings because something they saw in it did not suit their taste. The content was naturally full of prejudice.
Such film reviewers were basically venting their emotions, but it was very difficult to ignite feelings in the other audiences.
They were too low-class. They wouldn’t do.
One glance, and one would know that such people were uncultured. They would definitely not be able to write any film reviews that could cause controversy even if they were bribed.
The audience would probably not even notice that this reviewer had changed his rating.
Pei Qian thought about it for a while and decided to search from the three-star reviews.
There were finally some that were suitable!
“False Profoundness”
“It seems everyone is embarrassed to say it is not good? Then, let me be the kid who exposes the emperor’s new clothes” “Too many loopholes, forcibly shaped the tragedy by portraying two trashes” Pei Qian had only one feeling in his heart as he read the titles of these comments. They understood me!
Moreover, there were many controversial voices under these comments. There were hundreds of likes and dislikes. Obviously, the authors of these reviews had good reputations, and the things they wrote were controversial.
“Not bad, these are good seedlings. I’ll choose one from them first and change to another if it doesn’t work out!”
Pei Qian clicked open the first film review —’the kid who exposes the emperor’s new clothes’.
“The reviews on Weibo seemed to laud the movie as a god-like existence. I watched it with a serious pilgrimage mentality at first, but I was so disappointed.”
“I only had one thought after watching this movie: the author does not understand what he was doing.
“Technology would be so advanced, but they were still giving the lower-class people relief food while they could not even skip advertisements? They even control the time that people of different classes could go out? That’s too unreasonable!
Se
“There were also a variety of advertisements. Having advertisements in the movie is alright, but why does the audience need to watch the advertisements with the protagonist? Crazy!
“Isn’t this story simply a cliche story of a cuckolded man? The author would be scolded if it were to happen in a novel. Why did it become a profound meaning once it turned into a movie? Are you all out of your minds?”
Pei Qian nodded his head at the criticisms.
Of course, Pei Qian did not share the same feelings with this reviewer. He just felt that he had found the right person.
Obviously, this was a person who was stubbornly living in his own world. In short, he was the kind of person who held the belief that ‘this world must behave in the way I said; otherwise, something is wrong’. It was commonly known as the ‘living campaign’.
The setting in the world of this film was that ‘the life of the people at the bottom of the world will not necessarily change for the better with the advanced technology’. The movie surrounded this setting. His argument was that the setting itself was unreasonable. Therefore, the entire movie was awkward.
“Hm, not bad. He has character. I like it! It should be very controversial if this person were to brag awkwardly about how good the movie is!”
The author’s username was very low-profile. It was ‘Just Qian’. There was only contact information on his personal homepage so Pei Qian could contact him without much effort.
“Hello, I am the sponsor of Tomorrow is Beautiful’. I hope you can change that film review from three stars to five stars and rewrite the review. Of course, we will provide 1,000 yuan for you.”
Time was tight, and the mission was important. Pei Qian did not intend to be too polite so he went straight to the point.
