Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 514 We have a lot to do; we need to focus our energy on "The Great Wall".

Beijing, Haidian
In the room, Lu Chuan skillfully took out the coffee beans.

Grinding, powdering, extraction... each step of the process is carried out in an orderly manner.

Before long, a cup of exquisite and elegant espresso was successfully made.

It's a bit tough, but it's nothing. That's just how Western life is: elegant, noble, and refined.

Lu Chuan has been in a good mood these past few days. The seemingly powerful Tianxia Bachang is all talk and no action.

The court has ruled that no compensation is required. The alleged adaptation exceeded the permitted scope, and the court did not support the claim of protecting the integrity of the work.
ridiculous!

Another thing is that "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" has been taken off the screens.
Unlike "Mojin: The Lost Legend," it was not delayed.

Although the total box office was only a little over 200 million, it was a huge loss, failing to even recoup the costs.
But that's okay. Movies are high-risk investments; there are gains and losses.

The movie lost money, but his personal life was not affected; in fact, he earned a considerable amount of director's fees.

Moreover, he no longer needs to worry about "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe".

Lu Chuanmei sipped her coffee, and the rich aroma made her feel incredibly happy.

No noisy music to disturb the ears, no tedious paperwork to weary the body.
The ancients do not deceive me!
As for Tianxia Bachang's appeal, it's a bit troublesome, but the trouble isn't happening now, so it's not a big problem.

The next court hearing was not scheduled for several months later.

At this moment, his assistant rushed in from outside, walking quickly and jogging, looking nervous and slightly flustered.

Lu Chuan frowned, somewhat displeased: "What's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"

"Huh...?" The assistant was startled by his dark question and paused for a moment.

After a moment's thought and gathering his thoughts, he said, "Um... Oh no, our 'Chronicles of the Nine-Story Demon Tower' has been sued again!"

"Huh?" Lu Chuan jumped up in disbelief: "The appeal is going to go to court so soon?"

“It’s not Tianxia Bachang, it’s Chen Peter, a Taiwanese singer.” The assistant said hurriedly, flipping through documents as he spoke, “He’s suing us for using his songs without authorization.”

"What?" Lu Chuan exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't the Music Copyright Society of China already obtain the relevant management rights through the cross-strait cooperation agreement?"

“This…” the assistant scratched his head: “Peter Chen is not a member of the Music Copyright Society of China, so…”

"How could this happen?" Lu Chuan's expression changed drastically, and a hint of panic appeared on her face.
"Contact LeEco and China Film Group immediately and invite them over to discuss this together!"

After saying that, he took his phone and immediately called his lawyer.

"How could this happen... My movie has already been taken off the screens." Lu Chuan was furious and anxious, and her eyes couldn't help but redden.
We just resolved one lawsuit, and now another one is starting.
What a bully!
the other side

China Film Group and LeTV also received the news. Seeing this somewhat outrageous news, both parties couldn't help but scratch their heads.

I'm a little unsure what to say.
Finally, the information was compiled and delivered to Ling Hong.
She is the producer of "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" and also works for China Film Group.

"Another... copyright infringement?" Upon hearing this news, Ling Hong was shocked and couldn't help but widen her eyes:
What did LeEco say?

"They support you, want you to take responsibility, and they can provide any financial or legal assistance you need," the assistant replied.
LeEco was not only an investor in "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe," but also in the movie "The Great Wall."

"The Great Wall" is a huge project with a total investment of one billion yuan.

LeEco Pictures' attitude was simple: "We'll leave these matters related to 'Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe' to you."

We have a lot to do, so we need to focus our energy on "The Great Wall"!
Ling Hong was so angry she wanted to slam her fist on the table. "I'm also the producer of 'The Great Wall'!"

I could also focus my energy on "The Great Wall"!

But after thinking about it, I decided against it. She's one of the dozen or so producers for "The Great Wall," so I'll just handle "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" a little.
Who told me to do this back then... sigh!

However, it's not a big problem, because it wasn't her who did the work, but the lawyers below.

She doesn't even need to appear in court or show her face; she just needs to oversee the progress.
Anyway, it was Lu Chuan who caused the trouble, so let him take the blame!
……

As soon as the gun went off, someone cried.
Some people cried, while others laughed.
As the box office of "Mojin: The Lost Legend" gradually recovers, the executives at Huayi Brothers can't stop smiling.

On the other hand, Hua Yi was laughing, but An Le couldn't! That damned "Mojin: The Lost Legend"—even a centipede with a hundred legs won't die easily!
Anle quickly took measures, on the one hand, increasing spending and efforts on advertising!

On the other hand, they started buying box office tickets!

They spend money to inflate their own box office figures, keeping the box office on an upward trend.

But the audience isn't stupid, and neither are Anle's opponents; they quickly discovered the problem.

Anle did not offer any explanation and readily admitted the fact.

However, it was also stated that this would provide free public screenings for senior citizens over 60 years old, armed police officers, public security officers, doctors, nurses, teachers, people with disabilities, and children under 12 years old.

With such a charitable banner raised, Huayi couldn't say anything more.

Keep it up if you're so good at it!

Huayi ignored it and focused on continuing to promote "Mojin: The Lost Legend," riding on the coattails of "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" to gain more buzz.

Seeing how fierce the competition was, Da Peng approached his investors and decided to postpone the release of "Jianbing Man" once again.

Since it's already been postponed once, postponing it again won't make a difference.

Investors didn't react much to this.
"Jianbing Man" is actually the movie version of "Men's Diary".

Low-budget, comedy, various internet jokes

It's really asking too much of this movie to compete with films like "Mojin: The Lost Legend" and "Monster Hunt".

Let it be postponed!

Actually, it's not just Jianbing Man; another movie has also been postponed.

The fighting was so intense that they were afraid they wouldn't be able to hold out.
However, unlike "Jianbing Man", this movie is not a low-budget comedy, but a niche animated film.

It's called "Monkey King: Hero Is Back".

These days, audiences and the market view animated films as synonymous with being childish and immature.
While there are animated films like the Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf series and 100,000 Bad Jokes, these are primarily aimed at younger audiences and specific fan groups.

Let alone others, they themselves don't have a high opinion of themselves.

Given the intensity of the battle, it's best to lay low for now!

……

Villa, living room

The air conditioner was blowing cold air, and the house was incredibly cool.
Qi Hui lay on Jing Tian's lap, enjoying the smooth, fair thighs, which he could never tire of looking at!

Jing Tian touched Qi Hui's face while playing on her phone.

Strangely enough, she didn't know why, but she always liked to touch Qi Hui, who was lying on her lap.

Especially the stubble, it feels hard and a bit prickly, but it's really fun to touch!

Looking at the message on the screen, Qi Hui couldn't help but chuckle. Hua Yi had indeed managed to ignite this whole affair.

Poor Lu Chuan, being bullied like this by Hua Yi, Hua Yi is really inhuman!

Qi Hui was in high spirits and couldn't help but sing: "First to Xianyang to be king, then to Xianyang..."

"Uh... eh?" Jing Tian suddenly exclaimed in surprise, interrupting Qi Hui.

"What's wrong?" Qi Hui asked, puzzled.

"Gan Wei sent a message saying that they have a party, Li Xiaolu's birthday party," Jing Tian said. "She wants to invite you and me to attend."

"They said most people in the industry would be attending, and they'd call me later."

Qi Hui raised an eyebrow. This must be the banquet that scammed a bunch of people out of their investments, right?
Gan Wei mentioned this briefly when she made a phone call in Hainan Province last time.
