There is actually no clear concept of how big the influence of video UP is.
However, as a public figure, he can indeed play a significant role in promotion and publicity.
The video UP ecosystem in 2006 was not as hot as it would be 15 years later. At that time, it could at least be said that some people would die of drought, and some would die of flood.
Not to mention those small UPs with only a few hundred fans, if a UP has hundreds of thousands of fans, then at least he can make video production a career and support himself.
If you have millions of fans, then earning millions is not just a dream.
Nanaya had heard in his previous life that there were internet celebrities who made hundreds of thousands of RMB a month from the commission from selling jeans.
But the income of UP hosts these days is not a question of whether it is good or not, but it really depends on love.
Advertisers do not see the potential of these video producers, nor do they think that these people can bring any publicity effects to themselves.
As a time traveler, Nanaya certainly knows that these video UP hosts will become an important advertising channel for major companies in the future. However, as a video website platform, [See Moon] is likely to affect the video ecosystem if it takes the initiative, so it rarely does so.
However, in order to retain these video producers, [See Moon] will still give some rewards to those UPs who provide high-quality videos.
For example, when the number of clicks, favorites, and likes reaches a certain amount, [See Moon] will provide certain income rewards.
Although the share is not much, as a part-time income it can still attract many UP hosts to stay on the platform.
After all, other video websites don't even have this kind of benefit now.
And because everyone is a fan of [See Moon], they usually defend Washimine's games and movies and rarely criticize them. Even if they really don't like them, they just turn a blind eye.
This time, in order to fight against Fox, a huge media group, Washimine used almost all the resources he could.
These UP hosts on [See Moon] have become the most important part of Washimine's plan to promote UBW this time.
Nanaya found a group of film and television upvotes from [See Moon] who have a large number of fans, and asked them to cooperate with Washimine to promote UBW.
Of course, as a completely commercial promotional activity, [See Moon] will definitely be paid this time, and the advertising promotion fee is not low.
These UPs have never thought that they could get such generous rewards for making videos, so they are very happy now.
Although the advertising fee offered by [See Moon] is much lower than those offered by professional film critics, it is already a tremendous fortune for these video makers who have been generating revenue out of their love.
Except for a few UP hosts who cannot participate in this promotion due to various reasons, most UP hosts have joined Washimine's publicity plan.
Nanaya classified the UP hosts according to the number of their fans and the style of their videos, and then asked them to produce videos that met the requirements according to Washimine's requirements and publicity plan.
Some of them clearly told the audience that they were promoted by receiving advertisements; some were just commenting in the name of being fans; some saw so many UPs in the film and television section promoting UBW to take advantage of the popularity; and some said that they were not fans of Fate before, but saw that this movie was very popular recently, so they gave it a try.
In short, through various means, let the UP hosts find reasons to introduce the movie UBW.
At the same time, these comments on UBW must not be all praise, otherwise it would seem too fake.
Therefore, there must be evaluations at all levels, from bad reviews to good reviews, and even a lot of reverse-acting black reviews must be added.
Of course, no matter it is a negative review or a positive review, all video UP hosts must be individually reviewed by [See Moon] before posting the video to ensure that there are no Fox traitors in it.
You have to know that even the negative reviews are carefully selected by Washimine. Although many shortcomings of the movie will be mentioned in them, the characteristics of popcorn movies will also be highlighted at the same time.
After watching the film review video, if people are potential viewers of UBW, they will have the desire to watch the movie.
There are also some UP hosts who want to take advantage of this public opinion war to transform themselves into Marvel haters and criticize Fox's past Marvel movies from beginning to end. In short, they just want to write the "X-Men" series into a work that no normal person would watch.
Nanaya only stipulates the outline of the videos produced by these UP hosts, and does not impose strict restrictions on the content.
Under such circumstances, these video makers have started to use their imaginations to think about how to make their videos more interesting and vivid.
After all, this is the first time in my life that I have received such a large amount of advertising fees. How can I just make a video to fool people? How can I justify the green dollars that the website gave me?
It's no wonder that, driven by money, these UPs have come up with a lot of novel ideas. Some of them even gave a comprehensive and in-depth interpretation of the entire Fate from a perspective that Nanaya himself had never thought of.
Looking at such a profound and complex interpretation of the plot, Nanaya felt as if he was back in high school doing reading comprehension.
One of the particularly interesting videos is a video in which a UP host, at the request of the official, made a unique self-deprecating video of a Fate fan.
There is a subtitle at the beginning of the video - All opinions in this video are subject to the subtitles. Perhaps because the producer is afraid that people watching the video don't know, he deliberately made the subtitles larger and bolder to make them look extremely eye-catching.
Then, everyone saw a young man with a very funny appearance. The expression on his face was calm, but he also revealed a feeling of wanting to die. He looked as if he had just discussed his ideal life with dozens of sows in bed.
Then, the video UP host spoke to the camera in an accent that was not sure where he came from.
"UBW, this is absolutely the worst movie I have ever seen."
At the same time, the subtitle [UBW, this is definitely the best movie I have ever seen.] appeared at the bottom of the video, which is completely different from what the video author said.
The author of the video belittled UBW from beginning to end, but the subtitles described this movie as the best movie in the world.
"Everything about this movie is as unacceptable as shit."
[This movie is simply the best movie in the world.]
"First of all, this is a summer popcorn movie, but this movie doesn't even have a perfect Happy Ending! You didn't even give a perfect ending to a popcorn movie. This is a mistake that even Michael Bay wouldn't make!"
[The ending of the movie is different from the traditional perfect ending, which is very impressive and memorable.]
"This movie tells the story of different heroes from different times trying to grab a broken cup, but the characters are so bizarre that it's hard to accept."
[The movie tells the story of seven heroes from different eras fighting for a treasure called the Holy Grail. The characters in the story are deeply rooted in people's hearts and are very likable.]
"For example, there's a blind woman in sexy clothes, an elf princess who looks like she ran out of the Lord of the Rings set next door, the Hulk who looks like he was splashed with black ink, a pervert in a blue tights, a Japanese samurai with a sword longer than a person, a man with a back who calls himself an archer but uses two swords for close combat all day, a blond man who looks like a Pikachu turned into a spirit, and King Arthur."
[There are Medusa, Medea and Hercules from Greek mythology, Cu Chulainn from Celtic mythology, Sasaki Kojiro from Japanese legend, Archer who is obsessed with identity, Gilgamesh from ancient Babylonian mythology, and King Arthur.]
"Yes, you read it right, the dwarf woman in the video is King Arthur. King Arthur is actually a girl! Director, can you be a little more funny?!"
[King Arthur Artoria is the most impressive character in the movie. The director did not stick to tradition, but set her up as a girl with a strong character. But this King Arthur is the best King Arthur in history! Long live the king! ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ]
"It's just a bunch of so-called heroes fighting over a cup in a small city in Japan or somewhere else. That's the entire plot of the movie. It's really straightforward without any peaks or troughs."
[The film's story is full of twists and turns, making it so exciting that you can't guess how the plot will develop in the next second.]
"And the action scenes in the movie are so boring. It's just Boom!"
[The action scenes in the movie are very exciting, and the director showed countless different styles of fighting in front of the camera.]
"Medusa came out with Pegasus, and boom, half the school was gone."
[The battle between the three female servants in the first half shows the different fighting styles of the three female warriors.]
"Black Hulk and Pikachu are fighting, and boom, the castle is gone."
[This battle is really like a battle between gods from mythology, it is very exciting.]
"The man in the blue tights dropped his gun, and boom, a big hole was created on the ground."
[Red and blue are a perfect match. I support this pair anyway.]
"It was the same thing during the last battle in the movie, when Pikachu and the hero threw flying props at each other, and the whole cinema was filled with the sound of Boom, Boom, Boom."
[The final battle in the movie is not just about visual effects. If you watch the movie carefully, you can also deeply feel the growth of the protagonist Shirou Emiya.]
"If I hadn't known Michael Bay was currently filming Transformers and really didn't have time, I would have thought he was making this movie."
[Compared to Michael Bay's meaningless popcorn movies, this movie is more than a blockbuster in terms of plot and special effects.]
"In the end, the male lead won because he had the aura of the protagonist. It's really speechless."
[The scene when Shirou Emiya won the battle was so tense and exciting that it almost took my breath away.]
"Such a movie is a complete waste of my time and life. I really regret buying the movie ticket."
[This movie is really worth the money, and I recommend everyone to watch the IMAX version. Although it is a bit expensive, the effect is worth it! ]
"Okay, I won't say any more. I still have to go to the cinema to watch it again. Bye~"
[I definitely need to watch this kind of movie several times. I'm going to go to the cinema to watch it again. That's it.]
This video is just one of many videos praising UBW. Many UP hosts have also released their own promotional articles at Washimine's request.
In addition to online promotion, Washimine also did not neglect the promotion in traditional media.
However, compared to the various loyal-turnabout operations on the Internet, the target audience of traditional media is older, so Washimine mainly gives positive reviews.
For a time, the entertainment sections that North American audiences could see more or less contained UBW promotional information.
In addition, the movie itself is a good movie aimed at the general public, with fresh and exciting action scenes and ups and downs in the plot.
So it was no surprise that when the new week began, UBW directly topped the box office charts.
