Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 591 There's nothing wrong with web series, but movies can offer even more possibilities!

"Which case?" Jing Tian leaned closer and asked curiously.

Regarding Lu Chuan... it should be said that the production company of "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" has a total of 3 copyright infringement cases, namely the original author Tianxia Bachang, Xiang Jiahong's calligraphy, and Chen Peter's music.

There are three cases in total. It's not enough to deal with them; just looking at them gives me a headache.

Of these three cases, Qi Hui proposed one and secretly gave Hua Yi advice on another.

The remaining one was created by Huayi, which took initiative and created its own.

Poor Lu Chuan... Hua Yi was his former employer.

To boost box office sales, the former owner launched a brutal attack, showing absolutely no mercy.

"Oh...it's Peter Chen's music copyright infringement case." Jing Tian glanced at her phone screen and suddenly realized.

The first-instance judgment ordered Lu Chuan's side to pay 300,000 yuan in economic losses and 40,000 yuan in reasonable expenses, and to issue a public apology.

Lu Chuan's side lost the case!

They were dissatisfied and immediately began to appeal.

Qi Hui stroked his chin. It had been half a year since the case was filed and accepted in the middle of the year.

It may seem long, but it's considered fast in the context of legal proceedings.

Qi Hui estimated that Lu Chuan's aggressive pursuit of the project had resulted in limited support from investors.

On the other hand... with three lawsuits embroiled in, the production company should be focusing its efforts on the other two, so they chose to abandon one of them.

Jing Tian held Qi Hui's phone and looked at it with great interest. Many media outlets rushed to report on it, and some even called Lu Chuan's studio.

Lu Chuan's assistant answered the phone but did not respond.

Lu Chuan, that jerk, once again buried his head in the sand and hid away.

Jing Tian chuckled, still wanting more, and said with some anticipation, "I wonder when Lu Chuan will make another movie."

This guy's movies are hilarious.

In this installment of "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe," Lu Chuan is embroiled in legal trouble.

In the last "The Last Supper," it's said that Yang Mi and Huo Siyan fought over a role and even got into a fight... literally a fight.

Just thinking about it made Jing Tian laugh.

In the past, when I watched Lu Chuan's movies, I was mostly angry, angry that he talked nonsense, disregarded the facts, and had a biased viewpoint.

But looking at Lu Chuan now... tsk tsk, just a clown.

They jump around and playfully amuse people.

……

Lu Yang: Hahaha, I had almost forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it.

In the group chat, Lu Yang didn't hold back in mocking her. All of them who had participated in the Sino-US film talent exchange program didn't have a good impression of Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan's behavior in the United States was somewhat... High EQ: yearning for freedom; Low EQ: obsequious.

Guo Fan: Don't laugh so loudly, he still has some use.

Wu Jing: What do you mean?

He didn't quite understand.

Guo Fan: He at least proved that the success of the film talent exchange program was not entirely due to the United States; individual ability was also a very important factor.

Qi Hui: Hahaha... Lao Guo, leave some food for the pandas, let's snatch the bamboo shoots.

Wu Jing: Hahaha

Lu Yang: Hahaha

Isn't saying this too hurtful to him?

After a brief discussion about this matter, the conversation shifted to another topic.

Lu Chuan wasn't that important; the group just joked around for a bit and that was it.

Lu Yang: @Brother Wu Jingjing, are you done creating the new folder?

Wu Jing: What?! You're looking down on me, aren't you?

His script for "Wolf Warrior 2" was actually written a long time ago, but it didn't feel right, so he started from scratch and rewrote it.

Now that I've combined the discarded drafts, I can write incredibly fast!
However, he was too lazy to refute it and decided to shift the blame elsewhere.

Wu Jing: @Guo Fan, Lao Guo, how's your sci-fi project coming along?

When he tried to create a new folder, Guo Fan hadn't even managed to create the folder.

"I don't know," Old Guo replied, utterly frustrated.

He had no idea where to begin.

He used to have many ideas, but those ideas are very out of touch with the times from today's perspective.

Therefore, like Wu Jing, he had no choice but to start from scratch.

But he had no idea how to start this new stove.

"How about we try our luck with China Film Group?" Qi Hui suggested. Last time, after having a simple idea for "My Old Classmate," he went to China Film Group to ask for their support. Now that they had no ideas, giving it a try with China Film Group wouldn't be a bad idea.

Of course, Qi Hui's suggestion was also related to the fact that the copyright of "The Wandering Earth" was held by China Film Group.

"Great idea!" Guo Fan's eyes lit up; he thought it was a good idea.

"Hehehe... Keep it up, Lao Guo. Actually, it's okay if you're a little slow. It won't affect your falling behind." Lu Yang replied with satisfaction.

He's making the fastest progress right now.

Guo Fan's brow furrowed, and he immediately began typing rapidly on the keyboard: "Hey guys, what are you doing?"

Wu Jing: What can you do so late at night? Watch TV with your wife, of course.

Qi Hui: Me too!

"What a coincidence, me too!" Guo Fan turned his attention to Lao Lu: "@Lu Yang, what about you?"

Lu Yang: "..."

He couldn't laugh anymore.

……

A few days later, the release data for "Unexpected" came out.

The box office was 49 million on the first day, and it performed well in the following days, earning 40 to 50 million a day.

But things started to go wrong on the third day.

The box office revenue plummeted from 40 to 50 million to just over 10 million a day.

However, the box office of over ten million yuan did not last long. In less than three days, the box office of "Unexpected" dropped below ten million yuan, with only two or three million yuan per day.

So miserable!

Originally, Bai Ke was supposed to be doing a roadshow, and he even asked Qi Hui for a week off.

But Bai Ke returned on the fifth day.

The promotional tour was unsuccessful, and the production company abandoned the project.

Over the next few days, Bai Ke devoted himself entirely to military training, often exhausting himself to the point of collapse.

He probably wanted to use this method to forget the negative emotions brought about by "Unexpected".

At the same time, they are also trying to gain Qi Hui's approval.

Just because you come to participate in training doesn't mean you can become the lead actor in "Operation Red Sea".

A few days ago, a student from the Central Academy of Drama named Qu Chuxiao came to participate in the training. Because he was sly during the training, failed to meet the standards, and talked back, the director Qi Hui rejected him.

Now, Qu Chuxiao has been replaced by someone else named Yin Fang.

"Unexpectedly," the movie in which he played the male lead, was a failure. The box office was lower than expected, and the word-of-mouth was even worse.

Bai Ke knew very well that if he couldn't land the role in "Operation Red Sea," he would probably be back to being unknown, only able to play minor roles and then go back to acting in web dramas.

Of course, he's not saying web series are bad; they're all TV dramas, they're all art, there's nothing wrong with them.

But compared to web series, movies offer him a much wider range of possibilities!
……

One mind

In the living room
Xiao Yang was drinking tea and chatting with two people in white military uniforms.

When facing other colleagues, Xiao Yang is able to remain calm and composed.

But things are different now. Two people in white military uniforms are carrying two bars and four stars on their shoulders.

Just sitting there, without saying a word, she felt inexplicably pressured!
"Is your boss on his way?" Tang Jing asked with a smile.

“Yes, yes, I’ll urge him again…” Xiao Yang nodded repeatedly.

"No need, we're not in a hurry," the middle-aged man in military uniform waved his hand and said with a smile.

"We can always come back another time."

"No need to rush."

"Please excuse my poor performance," Xiao Yang continued, "Our boss is currently conducting military training with several lead actors in preparation for the filming... He's preparing in advance regardless of whether it will be successful or not."

"So it's a bit late."

"Oh……"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man and Tang Jing exchanged a glance, somewhat surprised.

"So it seems Qi Hui is not bad, at least he's not cunning..." the middle-aged man thought to himself.

the other side

Qi Hui didn't even go home or take a shower after coming down from the training field; he drove straight to Yixin.

The arrival of the Navy's personnel is very important. Whether or not they will provide relevant support, and whether "Operation Red Sea" can continue, depends on the Navy's current attitude.

living room

Xiao Yang's phone beeped; the receptionist sent a message saying the chairman had arrived.
