Chapter 237 It’s All Fake
After the official press conference, netizens all woke up.
So this is ah.
We have done a very good job in education. Most people are atheists and believe in science.
Although there are rumors on the Internet that there are noses and eyes, many people are in a state of half-belief and do not really believe it.
After all, this is too outrageous.
As soon as the official announcement came out, most people quickly woke up.
Not long after, Xu Nan issued a statement via Weibo.
"I want to say sorry to everyone for what happened during this period. I deliberately hyped up the fact that Mimi has superpowers, just to promote the movie. I didn't expect that anyone would really believe this, and Mental illness transformed at the press conference to learn about the movie, which had a great impact."
"In short, this is all my fault. Please don't believe or spread rumors, and don't believe in disappearing things like mutations and superpowers."
Immediately afterwards, Mimi also issued a statement.
"I have never had any superpowers. Director Xu Nan said this just to hype up the movie. Please don't believe the rumors and don't spread them."
After posting the statement, it was not enough, so Xu Nan followed up by posting a video.
This video records in detail how he hyped up the fact that Mimi has superpowers, and finally revealed the secret of how Mimi sprays spider silk.
In fact, using a simple magic prop, Mimi has the ability to spray spider silk.
To put it bluntly, it's just magic.
From beginning to end, there is no such thing as superpowers.
Xu Nan originally did not want to make an announcement so early, because "Spider-Man" has only been released for eight days, with a total box office of just over 500 million, and the momentum is very strong.
He also wants to keep the popularity going and make the movie box office higher.
But there is no other way. The relevant departments have spoken. If they want the movie not to be blocked, they must minimize the negative impact.
So Xu Nan issued a statement clarifying that this was hype.
Xu Nan, the real owner, has spoken out and even presented the evidence. Even if netizens don't believe it, it won't work.
Not to mention that most netizens don’t completely believe in superpowers.
The official notification, the official press conference, and the statement from Xu Nan, the real owner, quickly eliminated the adverse effects of Du Tao's "mutation".
Many netizens started talking.
"I already knew this was false."
"How is it possible to have superpowers? You believe such outrageous things. Didn't anyone know about the qigong craze back then? There are still people who believe this now. I'm really speechless."
"There are seven billion people on the earth. It is true that some people have special abilities, but those special abilities are useless. How can they be as exaggerated as in movies and TV shows?"
"I have long seen that something is wrong with this matter, yet so many people still believe it."
"Xu Nan is really good at publicity. He can make things so big for Wu Ying."
"It's just because this thing is outrageous that it became such a big deal. If it were a normal hype, no one would watch it."
"I can only say that netizens are too stupid, so they can let Xu Nan play with them."
"Those who say that Mimi's superpowers are true, come forward and let me see what you say now."
"Those who swore that Mimi had superpowers back then, what do you think now?"
Of course, not everyone believed the official report and Xu Nan's statement.
There are some die-hards who are naturally superstitious and want to believe that someone has super powers, similar to flat-earthers.
For this kind of person, even if you put evidence in front of him, it will be useless. He has already completed the logical construction of heresy in his mind, and there is no way to convince him.
Even though the authorities have now presented the evidence, their views are still the same as before.
"Mimi may not have super powers, but there are definitely people who do."
"There are seven billion people on the earth. Isn't it normal for a few people to have superpowers?"
"Who can guarantee that no one in this world will have superpowers?"
"The official report must be true. There are many things in this world that you don't know about."
"Wake up, don't listen to the wind and the rain. There are many things in this world that you don't know."
"Haha, I have already guessed the content of the official report. Wake up, this is just a deception to confuse you ordinary people. In fact, Du Tao has been secretly detained."
"I once saw a person display superpowers with my own eyes. I didn't believe the official report at all. Only a fool would believe it."
"The truth is only in the hands of a few people. You people believe it or not, as long as I understand it in my heart."
"Yes, yes, there are no superpowers. It's best if you think so. Opportunities for evolution are limited, and the fewer competitors, the better."
Not only do many netizens firmly believe that Du Tao has super powers, but even director Robert also firmly believes that Du Tao has super powers.
Like a small number of netizens, he believes in conspiracy theories and believes that Du Tao has indeed mutated successfully. The official notification is to hide this secret. The real Du Tao has been secretly detained and may even have been dissected.
He also posted on Weibo with very strong words.
"China officials, you can't deceive me. I won't be so easily deceived by you like those stupid people."
"Du Tao must be released. He is not a criminal, he is a hero on the road of human evolution. The Chinese official cannot hide this secret. The method of mutation should not belong to one person, but to all mankind."
For these netizens who believe in conspiracy theories, as well as the fiercely eloquent director Robert, the authorities ignored them and simply dismissed them as nothing.
Anyway, as long as the majority of people believe it, it will be fine. These very few people have their heads filled with stones, and there is no way to convince them that love can be whatever it is.
Let go of the need to help others and respect the fate of others.
Good words can't persuade a damn ghost.
Fortunately, there are netizens who firmly believe in conspiracy theories, so the popularity of this matter can continue.
Generally speaking, the popularity of an Internet hotspot can last for about two or three days, and then slowly disappear.
But because of these tough-talking netizens, the popularity of the superpower incident lasted for five or six days before slowly fading away.
Thanks to the popularity on the Internet, the box office trend of "Spider-Man" is very stable. Although it is declining every day, the rate of decline is relatively stable, not a cliff-like decline.
On the fifth day of the release of "Dragonfly 3", which was also the thirteenth day of the release of "Spider-Man", the single-day box office jumped to 51 million, which was higher than the single-day box office of "Spider-Man" which had a box office of 48 million. three million.
After all, the quality of "Dragonfly Man 3" is still much higher than that of "Spider-Man", and it is normal for the box office to be higher than that of "Spider-Man".
What's unusual is that in the next few days, the box office of "Spider-Man" didn't drop much, with tens of millions every day, not much behind "Dragonfly Man 3".
This result shocked many people.
