Chapter 136 134 Confer Him a Title! One Million a Day
Chapter 136: Ban him! One million a day
"Check the background to see who is behind it?"
Without Eric's order, the technical guy had already taken action and quickly locked on the target.
Adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose, the guy shouted excitedly: "Boss, a big star!"
"Who? How big is he?"
"Keanu Reeves! His "The Matrix" is simply amazing!"
Hearing Keanu Reeves' name, many people around showed interest in their eyes. It seems that "The Matrix" has a high status in the hearts of these technical people.
Howard Hughes was a little confused: "Is Keanu Reeves more popular than Nicole Kidman? I remember Nicole Kidman just won the Oscar for Best Actress."
Eric explained: "The popularity of a star cannot be judged by awards alone. Awards are just one of the bonus points. Not many people know about many literary and artistic awards."
"After Nicole Kidman won the Oscar, there has been no new film released in the past two months, and the number of times she has appeared in the news is also very few. Naturally, the reflection on the Internet is that her popularity has dropped."
"The Matrix Reloaded is currently in theaters, and Keanu Reeves is in the limelight now, so naturally more people are searching for him on the Internet."
"As long as you enter Keanu Reeves' name in the browser, the crawler will inevitably retrieve the keywords of the Facebook homepage."
"Netizens clicked in and saw the idol's homepage. They wanted to follow him but found that they needed to register an account. Even if only one in ten people registered, the accumulated traffic over time is very terrifying."
Howard nodded. His doubts actually had a more intuitive reaction, that is, the pay of male and female actors is very different, and it is common for equal work to be paid differently.
In Hollywood, or in the entertainment industry around the world, there is no data that can better reflect the popularity and value of actors than salary.
If you dig deeper, it is deep-rooted gender discrimination, which is as solid as skin color discrimination, and this is the same as workplace discrimination.
Capital is willing to pay male actors higher salaries because the market recognizes it, and it is precisely the female audience who has played a significant role in bringing these male actors to high positions.
On the contrary, if female actors ask for higher salaries, they are often replaced.
This phenomenon did not change fundamentally until the rise of the Black Lives Matter and women's boxing movement more than a decade later.
Black lives are expensive, and the lives of other non-white people are still cheap.
Women's boxing is fierce, and the salaries they get have also increased, but they have brought a lot of bad movies, and their reputations have been ruined a lot, just look at "Captain Marvel 2".
After staring at the background data for a while, Eric found that the feeling of this number rising continuously was really good, just like watching the box office of a movie.
However, after staring for a long time, flickering and double images began to appear in front of his eyes, and fatigue came over him, and he yawned.
I flew here early this morning. I haven't recovered from the fatigue of a week of seclusion. My limbs are a little sore.
"I'm going to take a rest. Wake me up if you need anything."
After saying hello, Eric returned to the small room and lay on the sofa to take a nap.
The nap soon turned into a deep sleep. When I opened my eyes again, it was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and lunch time had passed.
After a nap, I felt much better. Eric shook his head and walked out of the small room.
I found that it was still busy outside, as if everyone was nailed to their posts.
Thinking that he had just taken a nap, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. Eric looked at Heisenberg and said, "Fitz, has everyone eaten?"
Fitz pointed to the box behind him: "We ordered hamburgers and Leco, boss, I left one for you."
Eric picked up the burger and took a bite: "Let everyone take turns to rest. There is no need for everyone to stay here. Today is still long, and someone is needed in the evening."
Eric spoke, and everyone left their seats one after another.
"How many registered users are there now? "
After taking a sip of water, Eric asked.
"Boss, I'm afraid you can't imagine it. 500,000 people, it has exceeded 500,000 people!" Fitz said loudly with a beaming face.
"So fast!"
Hearing this number, Eric was also surprised. That's 500,000 people, equivalent to the population of several cities, and can elect several seats for the parliament.
He hurried to the computer and saw a big number hanging there - 513780.
"Boss, in just a few hours, the Olsen sisters, Edward Norton, Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Julian Moore, Tom Hanks and other stars have opened Facebook accounts. "
"The star effect is really terrifying. Fans will naturally follow. When it comes to the evening and rest time, it is expected to attract more users. ”
The good news was so exciting that even Eric couldn't help laughing.
He opened the homepages of these stars to see what they said.
Then he found that there are still a lot of smart people. Even without reminders, many people still realize that social = publicity.
So those who have works take the opportunity to promote them, and those who don't have works for the time being post some selfies to increase exposure. Both are good choices.
Johnny Depp: "I am Johnny Depp. Welcome everyone to follow me. The movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" starring me will be released on July 9. I hope everyone will go to the cinema to support it!"
Orlando Bloom: "Hello my movie fans, it's a pleasure to meet you on Facebook. Thank you very much for your continued support. I have two movies coming out this year, "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" ", hope you all like it."
Heath Ledger: "Today I discovered an interesting place on the Internet. Its name is Facebook, where I can share my daily life with my fans."
After more than ten minutes, I probably went to see how others played it and found that it could be used for publicity, and then Heath Ledger posted another one.
"Now I am filming the movie "Sin Eater". This movie brings together excellent directors and actors, as well as an excellent script. I will keep you informed of the filming progress."
As a literary and artistic man with great personality, Edward Norton has always been unconventional. He posted a photo of sitting on the balcony reading a book.
The accompanying text is "Books can make people intoxicated and books can cleanse the soul. When I am not filming, I like to immerse myself in the ocean of books."
Eric couldn't help but laugh, and he didn't know whether Edward Norton did it on purpose or accidentally. Isn't this equivalent to portraying himself in a negative way in later generations?
Jin Dong, Nobel Prize in Mathematics, talking about you.
Leonardo DiCaprio posted a message saying that he was on vacation in Hawaii, but he still had to help promote his good brother Tobey Maguire's new movie "The Age of Era."
Some of these people have exceeded 100,000 fans in a short period of time, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Depp, and Keanu Reeves.
Lesser ones like Nicole, Edward Norton, Orlando Bloom and others also have 60,000 to 70,000 followers.
Even the smallest ones like Ashley and Mary only have more than 30,000 fans, and the little bitch Ryan Reynolds only has more than 10,000 fans. The popularity gap is obvious.
Eric searched for Gadot's name again, and a dozen names with the same name immediately popped up, five of which used photos of Gadot herself.
When he clicked on the homepages of these five people, he found that they were all fakes.
I guess the real Gadot is filming and hasn’t bothered to open an account yet.
"Has Michael Jackson opened an account?"
The technical guy checked: "Boss, the real Jackson was not found."
"Check again, is Emiam registered?"
After a while, the guy replied: "Yes, I have locked an account and it is confirmed to be the rapper Emmy."
"What's his ID?"
"※※※※※※※"
"Damn it, you really dare to come and step into my territory." Eric thought to himself.
But then I thought about it, no, Ruffian Eminem probably didn’t even know that Facebook was his company.
Eric entered the homepage of Ruffian Eminem, which only had one photo and two updates.
The photo was from a concert stage, with Eminem pointing forward and roaring into the microphone.
One of the updates is to promote "Just Lost It", and the other is to show his own Billboard ranking, which is currently No. 5.
Putting aside the inferiority of his methods, if we only talk about his strength, Ruffian Eminem is really good.
His number of fans is shown to be 10,000, which is quite impressive and can catch up with many first-class actors.
There have always been obvious barriers between the film and television circles and the music circles, but they are closely related.
The current situation in China is that the music industry is better than the film and television industry, and singers make more money than actors. But in ten years, the Chinese music industry will have completely declined, and the film and television industry will be the only one.
The European and American markets are different. The influence of the film and television circles and the music circle has always been equal and indistinguishable, and this is still the case twenty years later.
In terms of earning power, top singers surpass top actors, but in terms of global influence and popularity, the latter surpasses the former.
After all, songs are too limited by language, while movies and TV shows are relatively small.
There are hundreds of comments under Eminem's post, almost all of which are fans shouting to keep going, vowing to top the Billboard list this week.
Eric snorted coldly and looked at his subordinates: "Block Amy's account for me!"
Fitzheisenberg had been paying attention to his boss's situation and knew that Eric had a problem with Eminem, but he still raised his concerns.
"Boss, is it inappropriate to block the account so rashly? After all, Facebook has just launched. If the account is blocked for no reason, will it cause worry and resentment among users?"
"It's caused. Do you think users will give up using Facebook just because their accounts are blocked? I tell you it's impossible. Human beings' desire for novelty is unquenchable."
"Let me ask you, if there is an adult website, and when you log in, the anti-virus software reminds you that access is risky, will you ignore the risk and continue to access it, or will you exit?"
All men understand this problem, and everyone present laughed non-stop.
Fitz also smiled and said: "Boss, it's okay to ban him. I just don't want to leave a bad reputation for Facebook. Maybe we can find a more suitable reason and become famous."
"I'll ban him if I tell him to. There's no reason!"
Eric waved his hand and said domineeringly.
He still makes excuses to seal himself off. Who doesn’t know that he and the ruffian Eminem have a feud? No matter how suitable the excuse is, it will be regarded as a public revenge.
What the hell, I'm just avenging my personal revenge, I'm just taking revenge, what's wrong? Bite me!
"seal up!"
The technical guy nodded and with a few clicks, Eminem's account became inaccessible.
After blocking Emiam's account, Eric felt refreshed, as if he had taken revenge.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems to be hasty. We should wait until his account is established before blocking it.
He has less than 100,000 fans now, so I don’t feel bad about blocking him. It doesn’t make much sense.
For a singer like Eminem, it won’t take too long to get tens of millions of fans. It would be interesting to block him at that time.
Forget it, it’s already blocked, so there’s no point in thinking so much.
Shaking his head, Eric stopped thinking about it and called Michael.
It took a while for the call to be connected. Eric could hear the noisy screams on the other end of the line.
“Sorry, Eric, I’m at the sales event. The event hasn’t ended yet.”
“I can hear that it seems that you are very popular there.”
“Yes, there are a lot of fans here today, more than I expected, and there are many older fans. I am very moved to see them.”
“Haha Michael, this is your charm.”
“I think the early promotion of the song played a role, and “Rolling in the Deep》is really great, everyone is praising it, Eric, you have made a great contribution. ”
“Really? Did the critics and the audience praise me?”
Michael laughed and said, “You can go and see for yourself, you will find interesting things.”
“No way, is it true?”
“You can buy a few music magazines and see.”
“Okay, since you mentioned it, I have to take a look. By the way, how many CDs did DreamWorks burn in the first batch?”
“500,000 copies, all of which have been put into the North American market. If the sales are as hot as today, I think this number is still too conservative.”
“Don’t worry, David Geffen is not a fool, no one will go against money, he will know what to do if it is profitable.”
“Thank you, Eric, thanks to you.”
Michael’s sincere thanks came from the phone.
"Hehe, it's too early to say thank you now. I just checked Eminem's Facebook updates. His song has reached No. 5 on the Billboard in a week."
"So we must work harder and do more publicity and promotion. Don't forget to open a Facebook account."
"Okay, I'll hang up. Everyone is calling my name."
In just one phone call, the number of new users increased by thousands. This data makes people happy.
At this time, the technical guy suddenly said: "Boss, Eminem's account has been detected again. Do you want to block it again?"
"Huh? Are you sure it's him?"
"Sure."
"Don't block it this time. Let him run it well. When the fan base is large, block it for me."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Eric with wide eyes. The boss is going to play pig farming.
When the mind is focused, time always passes quickly. Unknowingly, it is already 10 o'clock in the evening.
More and more stars responded to the call of Cooper and his son and began to join. Gadot, Bar Refaeli, Jigsaw, Hugo Mortensen, Chris Evans, James Franco, Transformers, etc. opened accounts, and the number of users increased further.
910,000!
920,000!
930,000!
990,000!
1 million!
