There is a picture online that shows Gendry from Game of Thrones in a rowboat that is named the S.S. Abandoned Plotlines, which had the Brotherhood Without Banners, the Blackfish, Rickon Stark & Osha, Balon & Yara Greyjoy, and Bran Stark & Hodor photoshopped onto the boat. The picture was created by a Game of Thrones fan who was frustrated by all of the characters and storylines that had seemingly been forgotten....

She has the empathy to counteract any Curse of Hatred, at least for now....

Ask anyone what their opinion of the original Legend of Zelda, and you’ll get a combination of “it’s too hard,” “it stinks,” or, most predominantly, “it’s confusing.” It’s a shame that the title has fallen out of favor so dramatically when compared to its modern brethren, as “the Hyrule Fantasy” has so much to offer gamers both young and old. Sure it’s hard, but it’s not unfair. Yes, it’s confusing, but the initial mystery leads to incredibly satisfying discoveries....

During the ’90s and early ’00s, a classic subgenre resurged that imposed itself as a favorite among women: romcom. The renaissance had considerable success for about two decades, so much so that some very well know actors such as Demi Moore, Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, and Hugh Grants made it their go-to for some time. However, over the last decade, romcoms have made themselves shy as women all around the globe put their foot down and affirmed themselves in our society....

Trilogies are a tricky thing to pull off. Making just one good film is hard enough on its own, now imagine not only having to make three good works of cinema, but also having them connect both thematically and with a cohesive narrative. It has been done before, though, so anybody in the middle of a similarly daunting task can be comforted knowing they are in good company. To celebrate the trilogies that did it successfully, and acknowledge the great ones that fell face first upon their conclusion, the following list will point out five great trilogy conclusions, and five lackluster ones....

我们《2019年网红营销报告》的一项关键发现是，网红营销的前景依然非常乐观。尽管有反对者声称网红营销正逐渐消亡，但我们的受访者对该实践持积极态度。 以下是我们《2019年网红营销研究》的主要结果，以及我们从NeoReach、Instagram和Google Trends中发现的其他一些相关的近期统计数据。 LATEST BENCHMARK REPORT 在过去的几年中，Instagram的流行度以惊人的速度增长 在经历了2017年和2018年的惊人扩张后，Instagram继续成为2019年增长最快的社交网络，它的老大哥Facebook可能仍然拥有最大的用户群，但Instagram正在迅速迎头赶上。一个显著的区别是，Instagram深受年轻人的喜爱，而这部分人现在正离开Facebook，因为他们认为Facebook现在是他们父母那一代才会喜欢的东西。 2018年年中，Instagram宣布其月活跃用户已达10亿，目前正稳步迈向二十亿大关。这些用户每天发布9500万张/支照片和视频，每天上传4亿个Instagram故事。Instagram用户每天“点赞”的帖子多达42亿。 Instagram最近名副其实地成为了一个强大的平台，尤其是在年轻的社交网络用户和有影响力的人当中。 去年新增320家平台和专注于网红营销的经纪公司 随着网红营销作为一个产业已经成熟，众多帮助品牌商和网红简化合作流程的支持公司和应用程序被吸引而来。有机的网红营销可能是一个缓慢而乏味的过程，尤其是在寻找和吸引网红来推广公司产品或服务时。 在过去的12个月里，市场上又新增了320家专注于网红营销的平台和机构。2015年时还只有190个网红平台和机构。2016年增加到335个，2017年增加到420个，2018年增加到740个 – 是两年前的两倍还多。 在网红营销上每花费1美元就能获得较高的平均赢得媒体价值 赢得媒体 (earned media) 是指企业除付费广告宣传工作之外获得的其他宣传。赢得媒体价值是这种宣传的货币表示。懂得网红营销的企业可以获得可观的回报，在网红营销上每花费1美元，就能获得高达18美元的赢得媒体价值。 即使是一般的企业也能取得十分不错的成绩，在网红营销上每花费1美元，平均也能获得5.20美元的赢得媒体价值。 当然，有些企业会亏损。诚然，有25％的企业会亏本或仅仅收支平衡。这主要是不了解网红营销机制的企业，通常是那些为其品牌选错了网红的企业。他们往往没有选对网红，选的网红其粉丝跟其品牌产品的目标市场契合度不好。 2019年的网红营销预计将增长至2017年的两倍以上 网红营销作为一个产业在过去几年间持续增长。2016年，这是一个价值17亿美元的产业，到2017年就增长到了30亿美元。2018年进一步增长至46亿美元，预计今年将继续保持增长势头，有可能成为价值65亿美元的产业。 谷歌对网红营销的搜索量在三年内增长了150% 一年前，我们的报告称“网红营销”一词在谷歌搜索中狂增325％。搜索量从2015年的每月3900次上升到2016年的6460次，然后再到2017年的21,000次。令人吃惊的是，这种增长速度还在继续。2018年，“网红营销”一词的搜索量上升至61,000。 在短短三年内，“网红营销”的搜索量增长了1500%，令人难以置信。 Instagram使用量5年增长10倍 早在2013年2月，Instagram在社交网络领域还是一个相对较小的玩家，只有1亿用户。2014年3月达到2亿，这是Pinterest今天拥有的用户量。同年12月，Instagram突破3亿大关（SnapChat在今天才达到这一里程碑，而Twitter只有3.35亿多一点）。 到2016年6月，Instagram可以每月拥有5亿活跃用户，诚如今天的TikTok（前身为Musical.ly）一样。 2016年12月，Instagram突破6亿大关。LinkedIn目前还没有达到这一数字，但用户数量已经接近5.9亿。 Instagram自豪地宣布，2018年6月其每日用户已达到10亿，仅次于YouTube（19亿）和Facebook（22.7亿）这两家虚拟社区。 Instagram的用户参与度远高于Twitter 尽管在类似的社交网络上很难找到最近关于参与度数据，但很明显，2017年Instagram上的平均参与度远高于Twitter。 2017年，一项针对10万多名网红个人资料的调查清楚地表明存在两个明显的趋势。首先，你拥有的粉丝越多，参与度就越低。其次，在所有粉丝层面，Instagram上的参与度都比Twitter上高得多。 例如，拥有不到1000名粉丝的小微网红在Instagram上的参与度为7.2%，而在Twitter上的参与度为1.4%。在另一个极端，在Instagram上拥有10万名以上粉丝的网红其参与度是1.1%，而在Twitter上只有0.3%。 69％的受访目标为B2C 在我们调查的830名进行网红营销活动的营销专业人士和品牌代表中，有69%的人专注于B2C领域，剩下的31%专注于B2B领域。 这可能是许多受访者使用Instagram的原因之一，而Instagram在B2B营销中就没那么夯了。根据 Blue Corona报告的统计，Facebook (89%) 、LinkedIn (81%) 和Twitter (75%) 是 B2B 营销者使用最多的三种社交媒体渠道，而只有 33% 的 B2B 企业使用 Instagram。 过去两年间¾的受访者增加了内容输出 在许多方面，网红营销可以被视为内容营销的最佳交付机制。这两者是相辅相成的，所以网红营销的现象级增长与内容输出的增长相一致也就不足为奇了。77%的受访者表示，他们在过去两年都增加了内容输出。 多数会单独拨出预算进行内容营销 60%的受访者承认会单独拨出用于内容营销的预算，而我们在2017年的调查中这一比例显示为57%。这可能低于预期，毕竟91%的B2B营销者会采用内容营销，而86%的B2C营销者认为内容营销是一项关键策略。据推测，多数未专门为内容营销划拨预算者，都是通过总营销预算为其内容活动提供资金的。 多数受访者认为网红营销有效 考虑到所有其他与网红营销相关的积极统计数据，我们的调查对象对这种营销活动的有效性持高度肯定的态度，应该说这并不奇怪。诚然，有92％的人认为网红营销是一种有效的营销形式。有62名受访者(8%)怀疑网红营销的有效性，不知他们是否有过糟糕的经历，或者从未尝试过，总之研究一番的话应该很有趣。 绝大多数受访者打算今年专门为网红营销划拨一块预算 有了对网红营销有效性的支持，86％的受访者打算今年将一部分预算用于网红营销，这不足为奇。不知道划拨专门预算会否增加这些企业的预算百分比，或者会否继续从其总营销预算中划拨资金进行网红营销，总之研究一番的话应该很有趣。 相比之下，在我们2017年的报告中，有37％的受调查营销者承认划有专门的网红营销预算。 63%的受访者打算明年增加其网红营销预算 近2/3(63%)的企业会为网红营销做预算，它们打算在未来12个月增加这方面的支出，其中有17%的企业预计其网红营销支出将保持不变。但15％的受访者不确定其网红营销预算会怎样变化，这意味着只有5％的受访者打算降低其预算。 这与2019年网红营销预期增长以及相信营销传播媒介有效性的受访者之百分比相一致。 当然，并不是所有的受访者都会控制他们的预算，较高比例的受访者不确定其企业的支出会如何变化可以反映这一点。 近半数受访者打算将至少20%的营销预算用于网红营销 当然，网红营销只是营销的一部分 – 主要是内容营销的传播机制。企业需要为各种营销活动作预算。 因此，有趣的是，11%的受访者打算2019年将40%以上的营销预算用于网红营销。另有12%的企业会把30-40%的营销预算用于网红营销，其他24%的企业会把20-30%的预算用于网红营销。 网红营销占营销预算的比例最常见的是10％至20％这一范围。 最后，剩余的19%的企业今年将分配不足10%的营销预算用于网红营销。 每家企业都有不同的营销组合，甚至网红营销的坚定支持者也承认，他们需要为其他营销活动分配一些预算。...

30 Rock was full of colorful characters full of catchphrases, witty repartee, and remarkably fast zingers. Repeated viewings of the hit show, which ran from 2006-2013, will still reveal new meaning behind familiar jokes and gags. One of the most beloved and perfectly underutilized characters was “Doctor” Spaceman, an excellent physician (and a pretty good dentist) to the cast members of TGS, NBC’s wild variety show. They routinely came to him for everything from weight loss tips, to blood work, to complications with pregnancy, and he always had the exact wrong thing to say....

Hollywood regularly sees new directors debut films that win over critics and audiences alike. When this happens, the pressure is on the director to follow up their first film with something even better. While a lot of new directors manage to one-up their debut films, in some instances, their second films are either not up to scratch, or completely atrocious. When a director debuts with an amazing film, the hype that then surrounds them can cause the director to tread warily when choosing their next project, with the expectation on them to succeed....
