Chapter 690, the feature film is undecided, the cottage first!(1/2)
Another half month.
The weather in the north has turned cooler, but the weather in Xiangjiang is still the same as in spring.
Of course, it will still be very cold when encountering a typhoon, and it is the kind of magic attack that makes you cold.
"Infernal Affairs" is being filmed in a intensive and intensive manner. The news about this movie is probably known to everyone in the hearts of movie fans and insiders.
However, at this critical moment, the authentic "Infernal Affairs" has not been filmed yet, and the copycat version has been released first.
Mainland.
A company in Guangnan Province called Jiuding Film and Television was in a hurry to shoot a copycat movie called "The Law of Infernal Affairs". The name is not a police and gangster film, but the content is actually a horror film!
This horrifying label was marked by the film and television company itself, and it also wrote on the title: "China's first horror movie of Buddhism!"
Buddhist horror movies!
This gimmick sounds like a fool, making people unable to touch their heads.
The word "Infernal Affairs" is indeed derived from the Buddhist saying "Infernal Affairs Hell". The story of this copycat movie is the struggle between Buddhism, Taoism and hell resentment. The screenwriter unexpectedly grasped the essence of "Infernal Affairs", and the three parties have an undercover existence.
In the past, most of the counterfeit movies were big online movies, but this counterfeit movie actually won the Dragon Biao and became a theater movie. Although it was a one-round tour and only released for one day, it actually won a box office of 5 million yuan across the country.
The audience who bought the ticket thought it was related to Li Zhifan, but found that it was a thousand miles apart.
The audience who knew the truth was ridiculed by the movie and the audience who went to watch it on the Internet.
"Damn! Copy goods!"
"I really think it has something to do with Zhifan? The edge ball is so good. The poster also reads: Director Li's new movie prequel! My God, I thought it was Li Zhifan, but I didn't expect the director to call Li Yu! Go ahead and your uncle!"
"Haha! Are you stupid? Why did your IQ get disconnected at this time?"
"The key is the name of the male protagonist in the play. Do you know what it is? Li Yifan, you are a big-headed ghost! You dare to fight like this? The director is crazy about money!"
"When you know that the male lead Li Yifan is played by director Li Yu, you will be even more sad!"
"Yeah?"
"No, right? The director of this bad movie is so embarrassed to direct and act by himself? Is the rich second generation?"
"The company spent money! The two online video websites have already launched this movie, don't you know? Damn, it was released yesterday and today, the speed is fast enough! The key is to have a membership! Go ahead and your uncle!"
"What? You need a member? You will only read it if you have a bad pen!"
"Ahem, so many viewers watched it, and it also generated a box office of 5 million, which is more than the movies that many celebrities starred in."
"Sorry, I'm going to go to Tengyun Video to watch it. The purpose of watching it is to contract the barrage and curse the director!"
"I'll go too, I'm a member too, don't go for nothing!"
"I feel sorry for Li Zhifan, but I can even get the popularity of this."
"It shows that Li Zhifan is so popular! A movie name can make many people eat, haha!"
"I advise you not to watch it. I just came back from the Tengfei video and couldn't even complain! Mom's, a movie was filmed in one room. When I entered this room, it was Buddhism, when I entered another room, it was chamfered, the next floor was the world, and when I went down to the basement, it would be a damn region. I'll go, the director is also talented!"
"All this is OK?"
"There are special effects, you can see it when you go and take a look! (Smile expression)"
“…”
Xiangjiang.
Li Zhifan also heard about the news.
In fact, this is not the first time he has been copied.
When "Wolf Warrior" was popular after its release, a lot of copycat films were released, such as "Cang Wolf", "Wolf Warrior 2020", "Wolf Warrior Warrior", "Wolf Warrior Return"... The names are more fancy than the other one.
Of course, what kind of flowers can you expect to make a copycat film?
The key is that this cannot be sued, and others have not infringed on your intellectual property rights. The name of the movie is just the same, the plot is completely different, and publicity is also a method of going against the edge. It is not illegal at all, and it is not plagiarism.
This time it was even more excessive. The copycat films came out when the main film was only halfway through, which greatly affected the normal promotion and distribution work of "Infernal Affairs" itself.
"tell!"
Li Zhifan called Chen Zhiyu, "You are familiar with the laws of Xiangjiang. I am going to sue them at both ends, and sue them in Beijing and Xiangjiang respectively. There is no way to sue him, so he will destroy his reputation. Regardless of the winning or losing of the lawsuit, I just need to see the results and let them know that we are not vegetarians!"
"You can't tell me, we really can't win!"
Chen Zhiyu smiled bitterly, "They didn't point at the nose and scold us, there is no evidence that they destroyed their reputation."
"They don't, but netizens on the Internet have already caused real things. This is a case between Li Kui and Li Gui. You can do whatever you can, understand?" Li Zhifan said, "Even if you can't prosecute, you have to send a lawyer's letter to notify them. Even if the judicial department does not accept our prosecution, it doesn't matter."
"I know, I understand!"
Chen Zhiyu patted his chest, "I promise to complete this matter smoothly."
domestic.
The copycat film "The Law of Infernal Affairs" has aroused heated discussions among netizens, and many insiders have also publicly rebuked them.
Even radio and television have been brought together, can such movies pass the review?
The popularity of "Infernal Affairs" has not yet subsided. Jiuding Company further shamelessly publicly announced that it will soon start the filming of the new film "Infernal Affairs 2 Walker Storm", and invited famous singer Chen Lili and actor Xu Bin to join.
When netizens saw this news, they were puzzled.
Famous singer Chen Lili?
Actor Xu Bin?
Why have you never heard of these two people's names?
After checking their information online, I suddenly realized it!
Chen Lili is an internet celebrity. She used to be an anchor in a "Happy App" and sang and made some singing videos, but she became popular because of her proud figure and bold and exposed dress style.
After becoming popular, someone pulled it out. In fact, Chen Lili is nearly forty years old and has a bad reputation in her local hometown. She worked as a lady before becoming an anchor, a princess who sang with KTV, and a mistress. After making money, she began to package herself.
As for the "famous singer", it is just a label she posted. She is quite famous on the "Happy App", and the live broadcast content is also sing, so she claims to be "the number one happy singer", but the four words "famous singer" together are completely nonsense and no one can buy it.
As for Xu Bin, he also came out on the "Happy App". He often posted some "performance" clips - eating light bulbs, eating live snakes, eating mice, and even eating shit on live streaming, so he was sought after by a large number of brainless fans.
After becoming popular, Xu Bin stopped posting clips, but started "outdoor live broadcast", which was to walk around the street with his mobile phone, and chat with beautiful women when he met them, or he played as a beggar, asking for money on the roadside, and when he met beautiful women, he would go up and confess his love wildly. At the instigation of fans, he would force himself to kiss passers-by, but he was arrested by police and uncles many times into the police station.
The two 99-rate anchors on the Happy App have transformed into "famous singers" and "actors", which really makes people feel disgusting as if they have eaten a fly.
Jiuding Film and Television is extremely fast. The first day he said he wanted to shoot, but the next day he pulled up the crew and held a start-up ceremony.
Not only that, they also appeared at the opening ceremony of many internet celebrities, all of whom were going to star in the film. Compared with the first passerby actors and the "actors" signed by Jiuding Company, these internet celebrities look much more familiar to specific groups. For those specific groups, these people are "stars", and even better than real stars!
...
Xiangjiang.
"Damn it, the first part has not been completed yet, so I started filming the second part again!"
Chen Guanjun has a bad temper, and is well known in Xiangjiang. As another male lead in "Infernal Affairs", the atmosphere of the movie being copied is of course extremely high.
Li Zhifan didn't say anything. After thinking for a long time, he came to Liu Zexin and said, "Go and check what kind of force is behind this Jiuding Film and Television, who is the financial owner, and who is supporting them."
"OK!"
Liu Zexin will operate immediately.
Two hours later, she brought a complete document and handed it to Li Zhifan and said, "This film and television company is not simple!"
"Oh? How awesome is it?"
When Li Zhifan heard this, he felt a little sad. Is there really a master who supports him?
"Do you know how many movies they make a year?"
Liu Zexin said: "44 movies! It has been established for five years and has made 193 movies. Do you think it's awesome?"
"so much?"
Li Zhifan was surprised, "How many of them are working? How many of them can shoot so much?"
In Li Zhifan's impression, the one who made such a copycat movie should be the studio, because he had previously incorporated a studio that made online copycat movies, so he had some impressions.
"This Jiuding Film and Television is just a parent company. It has many subsidiaries under its jurisdiction, and it specializes in making horror movies. If the movie is popular, they will imitate the name of the movie and make a copycat movie that goes against the edge."
Liu Zexin introduced, "They rely on you to have a lot of food. Last year, I filmed "The Horror Dormitory War Wolf", "The Horror Dormitory 2 Wolf War Prequel", "The Horror of the Swordsman" and "The Horror of the Swordsman" and "The Horror of the Swordsman" and "The Horror of the Swordsman" and "The Horror of the Swordsman"..."
"Damn it!"
Li Zhifan was shocked. He really wanted to give these people a thumbs up. You guys are so awesome. Can any title be copied into a ghost movie?
"The two "Horror Dormitory" series won 22.13 million and 12.44 million respectively!"
"Wait a minute..."
Li Zhifan suddenly interrupted her, "What did you say? This movie can still get such a high box office? Can it still be on theaters?"
"Um!"
Liu Zexin nodded and smiled bitterly, "They are not simple online movies. Each movie is released in theaters. The highest box office has won 24.4 million and the lowest box office is more than 2 million."
These movies have no stars, no massive publicity and distribution fees, and no exquisite production. There are no more than five main scenes in a movie. Even like "The Law of Infernal Affairs", a villa can be done in one villa, and the production and promotion and distribution are only more than one million. As long as the theaters win a box office of 400 to 5 million, they can guarantee capital or even make small profits after sharing the accounts.
