Chapter 415: Chapter 393 The One Who Tricks Others Will Always Be Tricked _1
“Hey, are you asleep? I recomnd you watch a movie.”
Late at night.
Soone clicked on his buddy’s avatar.
His buddy replied, “I’m in the middle of cultivation. What movie are you recomnding?”
The other party said, “It’s a very warm and healing movie, ‘Hachiko’.”
The buddy sent a confused emoji:
“Why do I feel sothing is off? Why would you suddenly recomnd a movie to in the middle of the night?”
“Because this movie is truly excellent, it’s Xian Yu’s…” he hesitated, “…Teacher Admirable Fish’s movie! Please don’t read any reviews before watching it, you’ll get spoil by the spoilers!”
He emphasized that again.
This buddy seems to be an ordinary fan of Xian Yu, and imdiately said, “So it’s Teacher Admirable Fish’s new movie? Got it. I’m going to buy tickets.”
“…”
In another instance…
On a film forum, soone is making a post inquiry.
“There’s an internet celebrity on the blog recomnding the movie ‘Hachiko’. Have any audience seen it and could talk about it?”
Unexpectedly to the person who made the post…
Not long after his post, a reply appeared below: “Good movie, very healing!”
The person who made the post expressed his doubts: “Really?”
The comnter firmly responded, “Why would I lie to you? Just go and check the ratings on Starry Sky Network. But don’t read the reviews! Most of them are filled with spoilers, which can severely impact the viewing experience.”
Starry Sky Network?
The person who made the post imdiately looked up ‘Hachiko’ on Starry Sky Network, and was shocked by the results.
The movie ‘Hachiko’ has a rating of 9.5!
Holy cow, only classics get such high ratings!
He quickly replied to the enthusiastic netizen: “Thanks for the recomndation, brother! The rating is really crazy. I’m buying a ticket for the first show tomorrow morning.”
“You won’t regret it!”
The comnter, who was very enthusiastic, added: “After watching this movie, I feel so warm. I feel like the whole world has beco better. I believe you will be just as moved.”
At this ti.
In the forum…
…there were also other night owls lurking.
After seeing the post, so of the night owls that didn’t know much about films were drawn in, filled with curiosity and interest:
“What movie is this aweso?”
“A rating of 9.5? That’s pretty brutal!”
“The movie is called ‘Hachiko’? Seems like it’s Xian Yu’s new work. I saw the promotions before.”
“Alright, I’m going to buy a ticket. Starry Sky Network’s ratings are dependable.”
“Xian Yu’s ‘Flirting Scholar’ didn’t even score this high! Looks like Xian Yu has made another good movie. I’m definitely supporting this excellent film.”
“…”
These people didn’t suspect anything fishy and certainly didn’t bother to read the reviews, knowing how Starry Sky Network operates.
Eighty percent of those so-called movie reviews are spoilers.
The viewing experience is bound to be lessened after being spoiled.
Moreover, with the excellent word of mouth for ‘Hachiko’, how could the audience be collectively hyping it up?
So…
Many people booked their tickets for the next day right on the spot.
Such is the power of word of mouth.
At the sa ti…
In a small company group chat…
An employee tagged a close colleague:
“I saw your Monts and I saw the ‘Hachiko’ movie you recomnded. Is it good? What kind of movie is it?”
“Healing! Warm! Touching! Redemption!”
With a cute puppy avatar, the answer ca at lightning speed.
Apparently, to strengthen the persuasion, the colleague with the puppy-like avatar added: “I can responsibly tell you that this is the absolutely must-see movie of this year. It’s super classic!”
Perhaps because it was a Saturday, surprisingly many people in the group chat hadn’t gone to sleep yet.
Seeing a conversation going on, people started joining the chat about the movie:
“Is that true?”
“Is the movie really that aweso?”
“I’m tempted to go see it.”
“It won’t hurt to go to the theater and find out, right? There is a show at 9 AM tomorrow. Who’s going?”
“!”
“I’m in!”
“Count in!”
“…”
Since it’s the rare Saturday break, everyone’s enthusiasm for watching movies was really high.
At this mont, soone asked the colleague with the puppy avatar, “Wanna watch it for the second ti?”
“Not a chance!”
The guy with the puppy avatar responded without hesitation and hurriedly added: “Mainly because I have so things to take care of tomorrow morning, so I can’t go to the movies with you guys. Enjoy your movie, and also, don’t read the reviews beforehand. I believe you guys know this.”
“Exactly, reviews are filled with spoilers.”
Everyone replied adeptly, not thinking too much about it. They quickly organized a group purchase of movie tickets in the chat.
Similar situations were happening elsewhere…
The swindlers were efficiently gathering everyone they could convince.
They kept recomnding to anyone they et and the keywords were consistent:
“This movie is really healing'”, “It’s a warm and sunny film”, “After watching it, I felt full of love”, “I don’t usually tell anyone this, but I’m recomnding it because we have a good relationship”, “Sisters, hurry up and go watch it. This will really touch you as a dog owner”…
They were inflammations!
Under the influence of these swindlers, more and more people began to buy tickets for ‘Hachiko’.”
The next day.
A girl, sitting in the theater waiting for ‘Hachiko’ to play, happily posted in her Monts:
“I had a fight with my boyfriend a while ago and I’m not feeling well. Ca to the theater to watch Teacher Admirable Fish’s new movie to heal myself. I absolutely love Teacher Admirable Fish’s first movie ‘Flirting Scholar’. I still rember Teacher Admirable Fish’s promotional slogan of his film: Rescue the unhappy. Teacher Admirable Fish, save again!”
The girl specifically posted about her ‘Hachiko’ ticket and a selfie of herself.
Her best friend comnted quickly, “Did you bring tissues?”
The girl humorously replied to her best friend, “Why do I need a tissue to watch a movie? Am I going to poop in the theater?”
The friend then replied with an ellipsis.
She was about to carry on interacting, then the movie started…
So she muted her phone and sat back, recalling her joke earlier, a smile spread on her lips and she eagerly started to watch the movie.
Clicking sound.
The gears of ti started to turn.
Let’s just fast-forward ninety-three minutes later…
At the sa ti in countless theaters, most of the viewers silently took out their phones and began to vent their feelings online or texting their friends…
“Go screw yourself!”
“Wang Xiaohua, you wait for !”
“He Mingxuan, you’re dead!”
“I swear, next year today, I’ll go and honor your dead body!”
“…”
anwhile, the girl who posted before going to the movie was now crying so much that she texted her best friend: “I have decided to break up with my boyfriend.”
Her best friend was stunned: “Huh?”
She sobbed and said: “He’s a far cry from Xiao Ba!”
Her best friend: “…”
Not long afterwards, these people also happily joined the team of swindlers. They couldn’t be the only ones who’d cry!
So it is said:
The swindlers are swindled; It’s an endless cycle.
