Since the release of "Inferno", discussions and interpretations of the movie on the Internet have been heating up.
At this stage, there is no need to rely on online trolls to guide people. Everyone will spontaneously study the various settings and details contained in the four Fate movies.
Although the popularity of the screening of "Inferno" has passed, the discussion on the Internet is becoming more and more heated as time goes by.
In fact, the fact that Fate's popularity has spread to such a large extent is closely related to the development of the Internet.
Because of the convenience of the Internet, everyone can find partners to discuss the Fate story settings with them anytime and anywhere.
This is very important.
Because the discussion (battle) setting is the unique charm of the Type-Moon world.
The more we discuss it, the more excited we become, and the more addicted we become.
This kind of thing is rare in other stories.
If they are interested, a few people can get together and discuss Type-Moon's settings for a whole afternoon, and the topics will never be repeated.
But it is not easy to gather so many people in today's society.
But it doesn't matter, the Internet can help everyone solve the small defect of not having discussion partners around them.
Because he was influenced by the era of universal Internet in his previous life, Nanaya is well aware of the importance of the Internet.
Therefore, he has always regarded the Internet as an important propaganda platform.
Plus, the movies he makes are the most popular genre among teenagers.
The largest group that can be influenced by the Internet happens to be young people.
So when the comparison between himself and Spielberg appeared on the Internet, Nanaya was not surprised by his almost one-sided advantage.
After all, Spielberg's golden age is too far away from these young people.
Even though these young people have seen Stalin's masterpieces such as "Jurassic Park".
But there is still a huge difference between watching it afterwards and watching it when it is released.
It is hard to understand the nationwide craze when a movie is released unless you experience it yourself.
For these teenagers, Jurassic Park is just a relatively good movie, but Fate is their favorite.
This gap in generations is the key factor that allows Nanaya to gain praise on the Internet.
The same goes for those who can represent the opinions of traditional media.
For them, "Jurassic Park" and "Indiana Jones" series are the most precious memories of their childhood.
The imprint of childhood is the most critical factor that can lead people to blindly worship.
Why do fans of Showa's special effects always think that Heisei's Kamen Rider and Ultraman are not good enough, and even lack the original flavor of the works?
It's not because the Heisei series are not good enough, but because the old fans only remember the good things about the Showa series, so much so that they ignore the excellence of the Heisei series.
However, when this situation is reflected in social comments, it becomes a question of discourse power.
According to the situation in traditional society, those who generally have the right to speak are usually the backbone of society between the ages of 40 and 60.
Their likes and dislikes of something can almost represent the entire society's view on this thing.
This is also why "A Chinese Odyssey" was met with a barrage of criticism when it was first released.
Because those who hold the power of social discourse think this movie is garbage, it is garbage.
And what about those who liked the movie?
They can only hold it in until they themselves become the backbone of society, gain the right to speak, and then vindicate their favorite works.
Therefore, we often see that some works that were once despised by the mainstream become classics ten or even dozens of years later.
It's not because no one understood the beauty of this work when it was created, but because those who liked it at the time had no way to tell the society about the advantages of these works.
When "Legend of the Seven Heroes of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" was first aired, its Douban score was only 3.8 points.
This is because the adults who held the mainstream discourse power on Douban at the time believed that this cartoon was full of "shallowness and vulgarity", "incited premature love" and "advocated violence".
So even though the kids at the time loved this animation, it was still useless.
The end result was that the animated series was suspended midway through its premiere, and all reviews plummeted.
But when the old and the new take their place, the kids of that time became the mainstream of Douban and even the society.
Only when they gained the power of discourse did the TV series gain traction.
Douban's score also climbed from 3.8 to a high of 9.5.
The work is still the same work, but the people who rate it are no longer the same people as before.
This situation of modifying the ratings of film and television works can be said to be a microcosm of social iteration.
Logically speaking, there is nothing to argue about whether the director Nanaya or Spielberg is better.
Because those who hold the power to speak are on Spielberg's side, such a debate should not have happened at all.
Young people who like Nanaya can't change the mainstream society's evaluation except saying "Director Kiryu is awesome" to each other.
However, the situation this time is very different from the past.
The young people in the first decade of the 21st century are undoubtedly lucky because they are the only generation that has gained some say when they are young.
The Internet has developed rapidly since the 21st century, and its influence has been growing day by day.
But those who have the right to speak on the Internet are not the traditional backbone of society, but the young people in society.
The reason is very simple. These backbones of society are too slow to accept new things, and these young people take advantage of them.
In fact, the debate over which one is better between Nanaya and Spielberg also started from the Internet and eventually fermented in traditional media.
On the other hand, the teenage population is full of unstable factors and rebellious psychology.
When the mainstream media denigrates something they like, they will do everything they can to justify what they like.
Even some young people who had a good impression of "Indiana Jones 4" became resistant to it after seeing the disdainful attitude of various traditional media towards Fate.
For a time, all kinds of monsters and demons jumped out of the film and television section of the Internet, with various fights between gods and weird operations emerging one after another.
The Internet is currently full of criticisms of "Indiana Jones 4", many of which have nothing to do with Washimine's online public relations (water army) department and are completely organized spontaneously by netizens.
"Watching the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a pain to your eyes, ears, and brain."
"Spielberg stuffed all the ridiculous plots and settings into Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It's as easy as breaking an egg to find fault with this movie."
"Let me count the reasons why I hate Indiana Jones and the Last Airbender. One... two... three..."
Thanks to the relatively free environment of online speech, in just one day, remarks unfavorable to Spielberg and "Indiana Jones 4" were spread everywhere.
After all, it's just a movie review. As long as it doesn't involve red lines like racial discrimination, basically no one will care.
Although no matter when, everyone always says that elders need to be patient when educating their juniors, and that both sides need to understand each other.
But words are words and actions are actions.
When the older generation finds that their right to speak is challenged, they never think about communicating properly with the younger generation, but instead try to suppress it.
In the early days of May, a strange phenomenon occurred in which traditional media and online media in the North American film and television circles quarreled with each other.
It's not that traditional media don't want to confront those they consider "little bastards" on the Internet.
Rather, the traditional media with outdated ideas have never witnessed the large-scale impact of the comment section on the Internet.
The reporters finally thought of a counter-argument, but by then there were already a hundred more "F**k"s on the Internet.
Traditional groups are not prepared at all for this new form of publicity.
Therefore, traditional media can only retreat to their familiar areas and communicate with these "little bastards" from a distance in their safe zone.
Those young people also know that they cannot have a voice in traditional media, so they confront traditional media on the Internet.
If this situation continues, it wouldn't be a big deal, after all, this kind of war of words is not unheard of.
It will be fine once the heat passes.
Both Nanaya and Spielberg would be secretly delighted by this controversy.
Only when there are people discussing it will it become popular, and only when there is popularity will the audience be interested and buy tickets to attend.
Hollywood has long had various measures in place to deal with negative reviews and ensure the final box office revenue.
But some people just like to do small things to fan the flames.
Here, Nanaya can criticize Fox media using his real name.
This behavior can no longer be explained by flattery, it is simply disgusting.
If we just focus on the work, the problem is not serious and we can use conventional promotional methods to get away with it.
But now it has become a complete personal attack.
Even though Spielberg is known for his good temper, a good temper does not mean having no temper.
Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered, let alone Spielberg, a successful and famous boss.
If it were normal times, if you offended Old Spiel, you would be offended.
Although Old Spiel has a wide network of contacts, Washimine is no pushover either.
But now Washimine is in a critical period, and Old Spiel's attitude may have a significant impact on Washimine's next plan.
Because George Lucas is ready to choose a successor and retire.
The response to the "Indiana Jones 4" project was not as good as expected, and Lucas felt that he was already somewhat overwhelmed.
Since he had already begun to think about retiring, he naturally wanted to find a good next home for Lucasfilm, for which he had spent his entire life working.
As a result, the attitude of Spielberg, Lucas's good friend, becomes delicate.
Maybe Spielberg can't decide who Lucas sells his company to, but he certainly has the ability to prevent Lucas from selling Lucasfilm to anyone.
