While browsing Station B, I saw this notification: Douban’s masterpiece "Legend of the Gods" with a score of 2.9 is now available for free. At first, I thought I had read it wrong. Although the Douban score is considered a relatively authoritative score in the film industry, the score of 2.9 should be considered relatively low. Why is Station B still promoting it so much?
The current score of this film on Bilibili is 2.4, which is very low. However, when I looked through the reviews of this work on Bilibili, I found that many of them gave five-star praise. . Some netizens even said bluntly: The Legend of Fengshen is so beautiful!
Is there something wrong with my aesthetics? Are Bilibili and its users the only ones who really understand the beauty hidden behind the superficial exaggeration of "Legend of the Gods"? In fact, I was overthinking this time. It turns out that some users at Station B always like to give five stars to bad movies, but give one star to good works. I really can’t understand or understand this confusing behavior!
I don’t need to say how bad this "Legend of the Gods" is. I personally think that Bilibili is using its badness to promote this movie to gain popularity. After all, "Shanghai Fortress" is now The playback volume on station B can exceed that of "The Wandering Earth". The operators of the screening area at Station B must have seen the effects of bad movies on Station B. After all, due to the existence of Bilibili's own barrage culture, barrage can bring users a lot of fun when watching bad movies that good movies cannot!
Station B’s marketing of bad movies does not stop at promoting "Legend of the Gods". It even officially selected the top ten low-scoring works on Station B, which cover low-scoring works at home and abroad. Any website can take stock of high-scoring movies, but only Bilibili dares to list these bad movies and even recommend them on the homepage!
Of course, the movie with the lowest rating in the screening area of ??Station B is still the sci-fi masterpiece "Shanghai Fortress" starring Lu Han, and the number of views of this movie is also one of the highest on the station. Of course, I believe that more people will click on this movie just to see how bad this movie is.
But it is undeniable that Station B brings traffic to these bad movies. If every website promotes bad movies like Station B, it will definitely not be a good thing to form a habit in the long run. This will create a situation where as long as the movie has more memes, no matter whether the plot is good or bad, people will buy it. After all, the advertising revenue brought by high traffic is real money.
Of course, other websites will not have such a good meme culture as Bilibili. I just hope that in the future, Bilibili will still pay attention to propriety when promoting bad movies, so as not to bury really good movies. If the most played movies are all bad, that is actually putting the cart before the horse!
