The Reason Why the Article on the Opening Day Stage Greeting for the Movie 'Bunin' Was Selected for a Congratulatory Board | A Consideration of How to Get Selected

That is what I want to know most.
How can one be selected for a congratulatory board?

The article on the opening day stage greeting for the movie 'Bunin' was displayed as
an article that gathered particularly many 'likes' under #MovieReviews.

First, to those who read the article.
To those who pressed the 'like' button.
Thank you so much.

Thinking that the notes I took so hard in the dark theater
reached someone makes me happy.

And then.
The next thing that came to mind after happiness was a question.

Why was it this article?

If there is a reason that can be replicated,
I want to know it.

Surely, you do too.

────────────

So, why was it read?
Let me list the hypotheses that come to mind.

・Because it was a trending topic
・Because the thumbnail image was good
・Because the title was well-crafted
・Because there was traffic from other articles
・Because I wrote about my emotions rather than just the events

I would like to think about them one by one.

────────────

1. Because it was a trending topic?

Certainly, the opening day stage greeting for the movie 'Bunin' had high attention.
Trendiness serves as an entry point.

But.
There were others who wrote about the same theme.
There were also people who were in the same place and heard the same words.

If it could be explained by trendiness alone,
the results should have been more even.

Then, what was different?

2. Because the thumbnail image was good?

For this article, I used an image from the stage greeting.
It is a photo I took myself from the audience.
There is a possibility that it made people think 'Oh' when they saw it in the list.

Articles are selected before they are read.
Visuals are powerful.

However.
Would people read to the end and click 'like' based on an image alone?
I feel that while it may serve as an entrance, it is not the entire reason.

③ Was it because the title was well-crafted?

Placing the film name at the beginning.
Clearly stating it was an opening day stage greeting.
Being conscious of words that are easily searched.

There is a possibility that these small efforts just happened to click.

But a title alone does not move the heart.
If nothing remains after reading, a 'like' will not be clicked.

④ Traffic from other articles?

Articles about the Chopin Competition.
Concert records.
People who had been reading my work until now read it again.
It wasn't a one-off; there was a cumulative effect.

If that is the case, what was evaluated might not have been this article alone, but the time I have spent writing until now.

⑤ Was it because I wrote about 'the swaying of my emotions' rather than the event itself?

The event of a stage greeting is something anyone who was there could write about.
Who said what.

What kind of exchanges took place.
It is hard to create a big difference there.

But.
My report was not a report of the event.

What did I feel at that place?
What memories did it connect to?
Why did those words make my heart race?

The time I spent following the Chopin Competition.
The records I have been writing until now.
How did those connect to that moment?

Not the event, but what happened within me is what I wrote.
If there is a difference, that might have been it.

Events can be shared.
But feelings cannot be shared.

That is perhaps why there is meaning in writing.

────────────

Of course, I think luck was involved too.
Timing and coincidence are surely included.

Even so.
Since there is the fact that it was selected, there must be some kind of standard or structure there.
If so, it is worth thinking about.

────────────

Here is the article that gathered the most 'likes' this time.

────────────

How can one get selected?
I still don't know the answer.
But I can keep thinking about it.

If you are currently wondering,
how can I get selected?
I am still standing in that same place.

Why don't we observe it together?

While writing.
While thinking.
While building up.

Looking forward to the day when a Congra Board appears again somewhere beyond that.
