Chapter 147: Outstanding! Piracy is rampant! Expose it!! (23)

8 month 15 day.

On Monday, the box office closed at 802 million.

The total box office reached 31898 million yuan.

Compared to Sunday's box office, it dropped by more than 12 million, but it still maintained a certain level, about 50 to 60 million away from the big ships.

The big ship is close at hand.

It has created a huge wave from the Internet to reality.

The official media reported on this and Shen Santong became an outstanding young director.

The word "outstanding" defines it!

On the 16th.

Tuesday morning.

Shen Santong accepted a special interview with CCTV.

Highlight the film and cultural undertakings, highlight the audience's choice, and reduce personal color.

Without market-oriented reforms, without cinema reforms, without urbanization, without an increase in people’s income levels, and without the development of Internet infrastructure.
Without these basic but crucial works, the success of "Happy Birthday" would not be possible.

With the foundation and soil, even if there is no "Happy Birthday", other movies will emerge.

Shen Santong stated that his work is based on everyone's work.

The achievement of "Happy Birthday" not only belongs to him, but also to all the builders of the Republic.

Shen Santong emphasized that he was just doing his job!
After the CCTV interview, his assistant brought him some information.

Shen Santong fast-forwarded through two CDs, then read through the information collected by his assistant and was confused: "Can't we fight piracy?"

The CD was a pirated copy, he played it quickly and secretly filmed it in the cinema.

He could almost guess the camera and location used by the voyeur.

Sony home camera, in a box on the second floor of the cinema, after recording, transfer the video to the computer and then burn it to a disc.

Based on the information found by his assistant, he logged onto a website. The internet speed was very slow and the picture was blurry, but it was indeed secretly filmed pornographic movie content.

Shen Santong had to admit that there was nothing he could do about piracy.

It’s too late to crack down on piracy midway!

In other words, even if we take strict precautions from the beginning, it is impossible to do so.

The Internet is growing wildly, and it is useless to send lawyers' letters to related companies.

The rules and regulations are in a mess, the laws and regulations are lagging behind, various film sources are flying around, and you can't win even if you sue.

When someone voluntarily uploads information to the Internet from an unknown address, it is impossible to completely block it with technical means.

You can use a home video camera to secretly record videos, transfer them to a computer, and then burn them, and you can make pirated copies yourself.

Not to mention the cities beyond the third tier, no one cares at all.

However, the vast majority of current movie ticket sales are concentrated in first- and second-tier cities, and it will take several years for large-scale cinema construction in third- and fourth-tier cities.

Shen Santong asked all departments to take joint action, mainly targeting important voting cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Now it seems that it is of little use!
Moreover, it is obviously not possible for cultural departments to be involved. Without the intervention of public security organs, it is not enough to deter pirates.

Shen Santong felt something was wrong and asked his assistant to leave first. When there was no one around him, he muttered to himself, "Piracy is rampant. What's wrong with the box office? It has exceeded 20 million in two days over the weekend. Did Han Sanping buy it?"

Regardless of whether Han Sanping bought it or not, it is not appropriate to ask over the phone, and other people cannot be told. You have to wait until you get back to BJ to ask in person.

Even if he did it, Han Sanping might not admit it.

Shen Santong analyzed: "Is it because my film is of high quality that it attracts pirated viewers to the theaters, or is it because it breaks the record and tops the list of film history that the public will participate and support it?"

Shen Santong had a sense of déjà vu, returning to the box office fog when Supermarket was released.

When it comes to simply stimulating the box office, Shen Santong has a killer trick.

It was to shout "Tow that wreck away" and link the box office that surpassed "Titanic" with the wreck of the Philippine monkey ship in the South China Sea.

However, Shen Santong could not convince himself to use this marketing method. The Philippine monkey's broken ship was a shame and was an act of further tampering with the embassy.

He would rather not make money by using this kind of emotion.

"No matter what, the box office is still growing."

No time to think about it.

At the critical moment when Shengkuai was super-large ship, Shen Santong continued to promote it.

Being in the middle of it, you can’t see the full picture and can only wait for a review afterwards.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Wu Kebo called Wu Yusen and Wang Jinghua out, and she looked at Wang Jinghua: "We can't wait any longer, we have to announce it immediately."

"Happy Birthday" has already gained momentum, and the closer it gets to the birthday party, the more attention the public will pay to Shen Santong.

If you really exceed it, you can immediately gain huge reputation.

Huayi has to give way to Santong Entertainment.

With Shen Santong supporting him, he couldn't achieve the desired effect even if he hollowed out Huayi.

Wu Kebo really wanted to kill Shen Santong, and he looked at Wang Jinghua with an unhappy look.

This woman made him spend a lot of money. When he looked into it carefully, it was that damn Shen Santong who raised the price.

Fuck Shen Santong!
Act out of control!

Wang Jinghua looked at Wu Yusen. She wanted a guarantee: "Director Wu's blockbuster must use people under my company. We are one family."

The more Wang Jinghua got to know Wu Kebo, the more she regretted her decision and worried that something might go wrong.

Japanese capital background is not a big problem, as all kinds of capital are flying around in the country at the moment.

The main reason is that Wu Kebo is very greedy.

His work style is different from that of ordinary Chinese people, and is incomparable to Wang Zhongjun.

This can easily lead to problems, as Xiaoyanzi’s example shows.

Xiaoyanzi has this kind of connection, but she doesn't know how to make a fortune quietly and has gone too far.

To put it bluntly, celebrities make a living by their popularity and image. If Wu Kebo messes around and arouses public resentment towards Cheng Tian, ​​and then his Japanese background is exposed, all the artists under him will be affected.

Wu Kebo is too greedy and eager. He not only wants to step on Huayi, but also on mainland companies.

It is totally unacceptable. Running a film and television company in the mainland and eating the food of the mainland, this will definitely not last long. It is not a hundred years ago now. Let alone the traitors, even the real devils will not work.

Wu Yusen frowned and said in Cantonese: "I don't understand what you are saying."

He knew what Wang Jinghua wanted. If he wanted the leading role in his new play, he would give priority to actors under his company.

joke!

He won't agree to that!
The so-called top agent in backward places like the mainland is nothing in his eyes.

The protagonist of his new play must be from Hong Kong, Japan or South Korea, and it is impossible for the mainland.

Not only that, he also wants big mainland stars to play supporting roles and carry the sedan chair for the person he likes.

We must strike a heavy blow to the arrogance of mainlanders and not think that everything will be fine as long as Shen Santong is there.

The more crazy Shen Santong is, the more I will beat you!

Wang Jinghua immediately stated her request in Cantonese.

Hearing this, Wu Yusen couldn't play dumb anymore and shook his head: "The new play hasn't started yet, I don't even know if Red Cliff can be filmed. And we are not the same company, I am not a director under Wu Sheng, he is just one of my investors."

Wang Jinghua looked at Wu Kebo and asked for an explanation.

Wu Yusen’s attitude made her very angry.

Wu Kebo also got angry. Wu Yusen was too arrogant. He scolded him, "Can't you give me one or two roles?"

Wu Yusen simply laid his cards on the table and said, "Boss, give me the money first. How long have you said it has been? How much money have you invested now? How can I start the work?"

It has been more than two months since the beginning of June, and Wu Ke has not made any money.

Without money, you are nothing!

Wu Kebo also had his own reasons: "You should set up the project first. You can't just let me invest without any effort, right?"

Money is indeed tight, having been ripped off by Wang Jinghua, I am short of cash.

Wu Yusen sighed: "I asked someone to set up the project, but it was not approved."

Wang Jinghua thought it was funny. You two are both more greedy and arrogant than each other, and more ignorant than each other. "Go and take a look at domestic movies. The producer column must have the name of China Film. Shen Santong's Red Cliff was invested by China Film. If you want to make another one, they will definitely not let you do it. Unless you can convince Han Sanping."

Wu Kebo waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the movie later. Let's deal with your transfer first. We have to outweigh Shen Santong's attention!"

June 8, afternoon.

A reporter asked Chengtian whether Wang Jinghua had already moved to Chengtian with her management team.

A Chengtian spokesperson confirmed this.

boom! !

Big news! !

It was just a vague rumor before, but now it has been completely confirmed, and the entertainment industry is in an uproar.

Later, a reporter asked Huayi for confirmation.

Huayi didn't answer the phone.

Relevant reporters personally went to Huayi Taihe, a company in which Wang Jinghua and Huayi each held half of the shares, and found that the office was deserted.

8 month 17 day.

Early Wednesday morning.

Shen Santong first took a look at the box office data, which closed at 728 million.

The box office reached 32626 million yuan.

However, he found that the media opinion turned to the matter of Wang Jinghua switching to Chengtian.

An old news was dug up.

Wu Kebo will invest in the new film of the internationally renowned director Wu Yusen.

This means that Chengtian will have an international director and Wang Jinghua's management team.

Well known.

The most important thing for Huayi to get to where it is today is the management team of director Feng Xiaogang and Wang Jinghua.

It is known that Wu Yusen is an internationally renowned director > Feng Xiaogang who cannot go international.

It is also known that Wang Jinghua switched to Chengtian.

Therefore, Chengtian is greater than Huayi in its heyday.

Also, Chengtian is greater than Huayi during its heyday.

It is known that Huayi was the leader of Chinese films in its heyday.

Therefore, it can be proved that Chengtian is the leader in the film industry.

Chengtian reached the top!!!
noon.

Wang Jinghua responded to reporters' inquiries and said that her contract with Huayi had indeed ended.

The breakup with Huayi was peaceful. We have reached a cooperation agreement with Chengtian and the two parties will set up a company.

This once again proves the news that Chengtian reached the summit.

in the afternoon.

A reporter met Wu Yusen by chance and asked about the progress of the film project he was collaborating on with Chengtian.

Wu Yusen was very happy and said that the new play was progressing smoothly. Then he complained a little that he was not respected and could not meet the people he wanted to meet.

Without naming anyone, he became more restrained after being hammered by Shen Santong.

Besides, Han Sanping didn't need him that much now that he had Shen Santong.

Wu Yusen's response once again proved that Chengtian had an international director and a legendary agent in his hands.

Reached the summit!
Completely reached the top!

Who cares about Shen Santong?
Just a small director without international influence!
I have read everyone’s opinions, and they don’t think that simply fighting piracy will lead to success.

The main reason will not be to buy box office tickets or to book the theater by a unit, as that can only provide a part of it at most.

A movie that breaks through film history cannot be made by renting out the entire theater.

The reasons must be tenable and convincing, so don't worry. In fact, the groundwork has already been laid.
