After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 334 Is this a brother? Who are you disgusting?

For some reason, the movie market has been falling every day during this year's winter vacation.

The movie box office on the 17th was still over 7500 million, but by the 30th, there were only over 4000 million left.

It fell by almost half.

This is also the most fundamental reason why Huayi suddenly stabbed Yinghuang in the back and stole the box office without any bottom line. If they don't steal anymore, it will be too late to break the 1 billion box office before the film is released.

January 2th, the day before New Year’s Eve.

Your name is not shown!
Not only did China Film Corporation not remove the film with your name on it, it also gave your name to all of its cinema chains’ prime time slots.

And Your Name's former rivals, How to Win, The Orphan of Zhao, Let the Bullets Fly, and If You Are the One 2 have all been taken off the screen!
The theaters were shocked for a while!

All cinema chains heard the news and immediately changed the film schedule, putting your name on the list again.

Feng Kuazi and Jiang Wen, who were quarreling, were dumbfounded.

We agreed that all the films would be taken off the screen by the end of the month, but not only did China Film Group not take your name off the screen, it also booked all of its prime time screenings.

Hiding from everyone, sudden attack!
Zuoshandiao is going to ensure that your name breaks one billion!
"Director Jiang, what's going on? Why has your name still been shown while we have all taken it down?" Boss Yang was extremely panicked!

In order to help Jiang Wen win the annual championship, he has already fallen out with Wang Dajun.

Zuoshandiao suddenly supported Li Mingyang, but he didn’t understand!

"How do you calculate the box office for his movie?" Jiang Wen became anxious. He picked up the phone on the coffee table and called Zuoshandiao.

Knowing that the next box office revenue of Your Name will be counted for next year, Jiang Wen felt relieved, "Old Yang, it's okay. Li Mingyang can't compete for this annual championship."

Boss Yang nodded. The most important thing right now was this year's championship.

"Old Yang, is there any problem over there?" Jiang Wen took a puff of his cigar and said seriously.

"There are receipts in Maoyan's backend, and we can check them accurately." Boss Yang took a sip of champagne with confidence.

"That's fine, cheers!" Jiang Wen clapped his hands on his thighs, picked up the wine on the seat, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

He wants to be a billion-dollar director! He also wants the annual crown!

A movie that relied on brutes and thefts to top the annual charts is a blasphemy to the art of film.

I just watched Feng Kuzi win the championship and did nothing.

He will never forgive himself in his life!
After drinking a full glass, Jiang Wen just put down the glass.

Jiang Wu handed the phone to him, "Wang Shuo."

Jiang Wen frowned slightly, thinking back to a few days ago when Wang Shuo advised him to accept reality and that billionaire directors could now dominate the film industry.

We are all brothers. Why bother fighting when both of us will get hurt?

He feels sick now.

Is this a brother? Who are you disgusting?

Jiang Wen didn't want to answer the call, so he asked Jiang Wu to hang up, but Wang Shuo kept calling.

In the end, Jiang Wen took the call out of consideration for their years of friendship, but he turned on the external speaker so that his true brother Boss Yang could listen together.

"Xiaojun, stop it. If you continue to make trouble, it will be embarrassing for everyone and that kid will get away with it for nothing."

"This annual championship has nothing to do with him."

"Who can guess what San Ye is thinking? If you all go down, he will have no rivals! What if the box office is too good? He will really give it to you."

Jiang Wen's good mood suddenly disappeared. Your name has no rival!
Who can suppress him?

What if the box office is too bad and Zuoshandiao changes his mind?

Boss Yang seemed to see through Jiang Wen's thoughts. After Jiang Wen hung up the phone, he smiled shrewdly and said, "Director Jiang, although we all know that your name has nothing to do with Chen Jiashang, but your name is signed as the director, and Chen Jiashang is before Li Mingyang. I don't know what President Han is thinking, but asking him to promote Chen Jiashang is simply nonsense..."

Jiang Wen glanced at Lao Yang. The leader of the Hong Kong industry was indeed being suppressed miserably...

……

Yanbei, Imperial Golden Terrace.

Feng Kuazi sat on the sofa in the living room with a gloomy face, a cigar in his hand. His scabby skin was extremely eye-catching and uncomfortable.

Wang Dajun drank with Zhang Guoli and Wang Shuo in a relaxed manner.

Jiang Wen's sudden attack did catch Wang Dajun off guard, but he had already bribed the deputy manager of PricewaterhouseCoopers, who was conducting the box office audit.

The problem is not big.

But Your Name is still in theaters and there is no rival.

Feng Kuazi was worried that the annual crown would be snatched away by Li Mingyang, so he brought his two good brothers who were visiting at home to visit Wang Dajun's home.

"I know Old Han. Xiaogang's total box office this year is 1.5 billion, so he will definitely take care of him. Otherwise, who will work hard in the future? Haha!" Zhang Guoli laughed dryly twice, lowered his head and drank. He didn't want to get involved in this matter.

We are all friends, it’s really ugly.

But it’s not realistic not to fight!
It’s really unfair that we can’t win the annual championship even though we have earned over 1 billion.

No matter who it is, they will fight for it.

Wang Dajun glanced at Feng Kuazi, who took a puff of his cigar and nodded.

"Director Zhang, the film and television industry is booming right now, and the Internet is taking advantage of everyone. Have you found your next employer?"

"hold on."

"Come to Huayi, let's work together and make money together."

Zhang Guoli smiled and waved his hands, "I'm old and in poor health. I'm afraid I'll delay you, haha."

Wang Dajun continued to persuade him and offered a purchase plan of up to 200 million yuan. Although Zhang Guoli refused verbally, he was already tempted in his heart.

However, Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang are competing for the annual championship, and Huayi is trying to bribe him...

This obviously required him to use his decades-long relationship with Old Han.

It was at this time that Lao Zhang realized that Feng Xiaogang did not come to discuss something with Wang Dajun, but was clearly trying to drag him into a trap.

It’s easy to guess what Lao Han is thinking, it’s all about the movie market.

But what he will do... is really anyone's guess.

Before this happened, who would have thought that your name would not be released.

It's obvious that Lao Han deliberately concealed it...

Tell everyone that Li Mingyang is his and that Li Mingyang deserves the honor of being a billion-dollar director.

"I think you're just worrying about nothing. Your name is only over 800 million, and you're still 200 million away from 1 billion. It's been released for almost two months, so there's no box office potential!" Lao Zhang said with a smile, and slapped his thigh, "I have something to do in the afternoon, so I'm leaving first."

As soon as Zhang Guoli left, Feng Kuazi said, "We can't let him get IMAX, otherwise there will be big problems."

"It's already been arranged, no problem."

Feng Kuazi nodded. The competition for the annual championship had reached the most critical moment. The purchase contract had already been signed. He could no longer say that he would leave if he could not win the annual championship.

Now both sides are wearing the same pants.

If You Are the One 2 failed to win the annual championship.

Feng Kuazi only lost face, but Huayi lost not only its stock price, but also Alibaba's trust...

Berna is unpopular in the US stock market and poses no threat at all.

When it comes to the mainland film industry, it all comes down to the battle between Huayi and Guangguang.

Feng Kuzi must win, and Li Mingyang must not break 1 billion!
Late at night, Wang Dajun learned that Your Name was expected to reach a box office of 2000 million today.

The gloomy face suddenly turned dark.

The New Year is almost here, and the movie market has been declining, but Your Name can still rake in 2000 million at the box office!
If this isn’t confirmed, there’s no way we can celebrate this New Year!
Wang Dajun took out his cell phone and called the manager of Huayi Cinemas, asking him to spread the high-definition film sources with your name on the Internet!

……

Not long after this year's box office war began, the authorities launched a new round of Sword Net Operation.

On the one hand, we are cracking down on pornography and illegal publications.

On the other hand, we will rectify the chaos of piracy in the film market.

Therefore, during the screening period of Your Name, Let the Bullets Fly, Orphan of Zhao, and If You Are the One 2, there were no high-definition pirated copies on the Internet, only some blurry stolen shots.

Huayi has no moral principles, and your name has finally run head-on into the mountain of piracy.

On February 2, due to the New Year's Eve and the rampant high-definition piracy, Your Name only earned more than 2 million at the box office.

The total box office reached 8.35 million.

At present, digital playback technology has been popularized in China.
The digital projection system includes server + projector + theater sound reproduction system. It is divided into 1.3k projection and 2k projection.

The so-called 1.3k and 2k are just different in resolution.

1.3k放映分辨率为1280x720，2k放映分辨率为2048x1080。

In the 1.3k projection system, the server and projector are connected by only one detachable wire. Pirates colluded with theaters to dismantle the 1.3k projector and connect it to the capture card. After real-time export, they completed the high-definition piracy.

In the 2k projection system, the server and projector form an integrated whole and cannot be separated, so there is no way to export a high-definition version like 1.3k.

The emergence of 2K has dealt a huge blow to domestic movie piracy.

2k single shot, no way to import HD, so I can only shoot it.
During the projection process through the 2k projection system, a series of watermarks that are invisible to the naked eye will appear on the screen. These watermark information includes the projection time, server number, etc.

When pirated commercial DVs, high-definition cameras, hidden cameras and other equipment shoot the screen, they actually capture the watermark information.

After the film producers get the pirated copies, they only need to spend tens of thousands of dollars to use technical means to read the watermark on the screen and find this information.

Each server number is unique and is recorded in the system. With the server number, you can find out which hall, cinema, or city it belongs to.

In addition, the images have blind watermarks.

The audio is also watermarked.

2K was developed by a group of very awesome and ruthless people, some of whom are even top crackers.

Using 2K playback, coupled with DCI standards, can combat high-definition piracy to the greatest extent possible.

But if we send it in 2K alone, a large part of the screen will be lost, so we can only send it in mixed mode.

The high-definition pirated version of Your Name was exported in real time at 1.3K, which is very difficult to check.

It's almost impossible to find out.

But just because nothing can be found doesn’t mean we won’t report it.

Faced with the high-definition piracy sweeping the entire Internet, Li Mingyang immediately asked China Film Group Corporation and the Film Bureau to thoroughly investigate the Huayi Cinema Line.

However, Wang Changtian did not do so. Instead, he went directly to negotiate with Wanda, trying to put the blame on Wanda and force Wang to hand over IMAX.

Li Mingyang felt that this was ridiculous.

Wanda and Light Media have made their cards clear in their fight for the right to speak in the film market, and they are as hostile as water and fire.

I don’t know how the negotiation went, but Wang Changtian actually did it and got all of Wanda’s IMAX theaters!
