"Ah!"
"Banglong..."
The screen of "Emperor of Han Dynasty" was playing on the TV. Wu Xiang's ears were filled with the lines and music of this blockbuster that he had carefully produced. There was no joy or smile on his face at all, because this was what he had just spent.
The effect of playing the pirated disc I bought for eight yuan.
You really can't find someone who sells pirated discs. They didn't fool you. The effect of this disc is really incredible!
"Here, don't be angry, how about we go back to find him!" Hai Qing looked at Wu Xiang who seemed to have a very bad expression on his face, and comforted him.
"I'm not angry, don't worry. There's no point in going to him. I'm thinking of a solution." Yes, Wu Xiang is indeed thinking of a solution, but if he says he's not angry, he's just telling Hai Qing not to worry.
.
Can you not be angry?
This is piracy. No one can bear to see their own stuff being pirated. Piracy is very hateful. If it’s a copycat, and you can make a copycat movie of mine, then I’ll really admit it, at least.
That's a waste of time, but piracy is really...
The key is that this is not a gun version yet, you can definitely see it. Although the resolution of the VCD is not high, it is definitely not a gun version. There is no head shaking, and the effect is great. This is the disc produced by Hualu Company.
Not necessarily at this level.
If it was a gun version, Wu Xiang wouldn't be so upset, because it means that there is no problem with the theater company or himself. But now, it means that some copies have already reached the hands of pirates, and this problem has
Very serious.
It is already obvious that the box office dropped before contacting us. I am afraid that it is because of the pirated version that the box office dropped rapidly.
Domestic piracy is so bad these days. Wu Xiang has done quite well, and the piracy of a few films is relatively small, at least not seen when it was released. But this time, "The Great Emperor of Hanwu" has just been released.
Until two weeks.
There was basically no piracy during "The Great Flood", and it seems that those who did it had some conscience. Wu Xiang also shouted out before that the box office of this film was to be donated to the disaster area. During "First Close Encounters"
There are very few pirated copies. Wu Xiang didn't see it anyway, because it was done very well at the time and was released in 20 major cities at the same time, leaving little room for pirated copies. But this time, the pirated copies came too fast!
This is not easy to handle. The ticket price for the movie "Emperor of Han Dynasty" is very high, 60 yuan. Domestic movies rarely have this price these days. And once the pirated version is released, you can enjoy 60 yuan for only 8 yuan.
Everyone knows what to look at when it comes to a dollar per person.
What can we do? What can we do?
"Xiao Wu~" Seeing Wu Xiang's brows getting tighter and tighter, Hai Qing felt a little uncomfortable, so she used her toes to flirt with Wu Xiang.
"Ah?" Wu Xiang heard the movement and felt the action. Goosebumps all over his body, as if his wife rarely does this...
"Oh, come on, don't you want to celebrate?"
"This..." Wu Xiang was almost laughing to death, Hai Qing was so interesting. "Fairy!"
Wu Xiang gave a low drink, and then he pounced on Hai Qing.
"Kekeke..."
"Still laughing!..."
Forget it, don’t worry about that much for now, half of the roasted goose leg is more important...
Of course, last night there was no worries for the time being, but the pirated version has come out, so we must think of a countermeasure.
"What do you think about this matter?" Wu Xiang's words were meant for Yu Dong, who was naturally in Bernard Company.
It was still a small meeting, but this time everyone has found the reason and they need a solution.
"Xiangzi, tell the truth..."
As soon as Yu Dong said these words, Wu Xiang interrupted him.
"I know what you are going to say. I understand. Our film is probably here, and the domestic box office is only about this."
That's right, when Wu Xiang saw the pirated version at the first glance, he already understood that there was no way the box office of "Emperor of Han Dynasty" would exceed 200 million. He even said that it would be difficult to grow again because there had been countless bloody movies before.
The facts were before him.
It would be better if you released a gun version, but now this is obviously high-definition and uncensored, who can stand this?
Going to the cinema costs 60 yuan a ticket, and buying a pirated disc only costs 8 yuan. Even if someone pays 5 yuan, they can make several times the profit. The key is that Wu Xiang’s film is a big production and it takes a long time, more than 150 minutes.
There won’t be so many films lined up, and the ticket prices won’t be able to be reduced, which means there’s no point in lowering prices and selling them cheaply!
"Then let's investigate according to your wishes?" Yu Dong actually asked this question. Is there any problem with this 'investigation'?
"I understand what you are thinking, but if you don't investigate, then I really can't get out of my mouth!"
Wu Xiang knew very well what Yu Dong meant. The current domestic film screening market is not a theater system. It has hills, one after another. This check is not difficult at all, but it is easy to check.
Offend people!
Offending someone, this may sound a bit strange. Something happened, why should I offend someone if I investigate? Isn’t this a matter of law?
These mountains in China are actually controlled by provincial film companies. They have the right to arrange films. Even if you are an individual cinema, it is only a matter of choice, which means there are only so many films.
, I gave it to you, you can choose it. If you want other movies, I’m sorry, I don’t have them.
When it comes to the fundamentals, it is still the same problem, it is not a theater system, it is not a market economy. In other words, it is all the officials who are in charge of this aspect.
And when it comes to the current piracy of "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", your investigation must be conducted internally. Don't you mean to suspect that there is an insider here? Where do you put the official's face?
Everyone comes out to hang out, just to save face. If you refute other people's face, don't you offend others? In the future, no matter how many cities and how many theaters you want to show it at the same time, it will be difficult.
This also involves a profit chain of piracy. Originally, this piracy was to use a small camera to record in the cinema, that is, the gun version. But when the benefits became large enough, the gun version also became
Unable to satisfy the appetite of pirates, they began to think of ways to find better film sources, which were original copies.
In the beginning, the pirates used money and bribes to get the copy. But soon they found that the matter had changed, that is, in terms of theaters and theater chains. Sometimes they would take the initiative.
How great would it be to cooperate with your pirated dealers and let us all make money together? You will get some benefits from me.
This sounds simply unbelievable, but sometimes, reality is crazier than fiction, and this kind of self-defeat is by no means an isolated case.
As for Wu Xiang's current film, "Emperor of Han Dynasty" has just been released. It would be normal if it had a gun version, but now it is absolutely certain that these high-definition uncensored discs on the market are all stolen.
Because there are no other channels, this film has not been released abroad and has not been released on any DVD.
Therefore, this is actually very easy to check. It is definitely an internal problem within the theater chain. Once you check it, it will definitely not go away. It is extremely simple.
However, the various relationships and interest chains here are so complicated that it makes people's scalp numb. Therefore, simple things are not that simple!
"Xiangzi, this time we have already exceeded 100 million, and there is no talk about this movie anymore. If you want me to talk about this matter, we can expose it. Otherwise, how will we deal with others this time?" Yu Dong said
What he said actually made sense. He often dealt with that group of people. The truth behind this...
"Check! Must check!" This guy Wu Xiang was very serious at this time, so serious that he didn't seem to be him. "No matter what happens in the future, they have provoked me this time, and I can't just let it go!"
Yu Dong looked at Wu Xiang's expression, and felt a little nervous. You know, Wu Xiang is usually joking and looking like a good guy, but this time, it was as if he had touched his reverse scale.
"Xiangzi, are you really sure?" Yu Dong is actually not that kind of person, but there are too many things going on here, "Even if we check, there may not be any results, but the trouble is, there are no good results.
If you don't say it, you will offend others, Xiangzi, I hope you can think about it clearly."
Wu Xiang said in his heart, "Actually, this is how I got used to this fucking piracy!"
"Brother Dong, I am very sure that if you think it is difficult to handle, then I can do it myself. I will go to the police directly, or directly bring the suspects to court. I must pursue this matter!
"
Wu Xiang has said this, so it seems that he has made up his mind. Yu Dong stopped trying to persuade him at this time and only listened to him say: "Xiangzi, my brother is just trying to persuade you a few words. Since you have already taken the
Pay attention, I didn’t say anything about that brother. Let’s get to the bottom of this matter. We will definitely not let these bastards get away with it. We would rather die than die. This time, we men will take on the pirates.
Got it!"
"Thank you, brother!" Wu Xiang said nothing else. We men can't be timid about this matter!
Why does Wu Xiang have to investigate this matter this time? Actually, there is a reason for this.
Last night, after carefully studying the exquisite moves with Hai Qing, Hai Qing also asked Wu Xiang, why do you seem so concerned about this piracy this time?
Wu Xiang's answer is very interesting. The first thing he said was not about piracy. He was talking about why he wanted to make this "Emperor of Han Dynasty" and why he took the risk and invested huge sums of money.
The reason is the two things that happened before. One thing made Wu Xiang become a student leader, and the other thing was that a hero died in the South China Sea. In these two things, we were a bit cowardly, but our current strength is indeed not enough.
I can only be a coward, but can I continue to be a coward?
no way!
Temporary forbearance is for future victory and for the great rejuvenation of our country and our nation in the future!
And all this, Wu Xiang wants to tell everyone, preferably everyone in the country, through this "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", what should we do now? In history, someone has already given us the answer!
The story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is particularly suitable for the current period. It can even be said to be an amazing coincidence. As for whether there will be a fight later, no one knows, but Wu Xiang found that this period of history is the most illustrative of the problem. So.
, he chose this subject, shot such a blockbuster, and took such a big risk.
Wu Xiang’s idea is to not only make money, but also tell everyone how to do it. This is a win-win, a complete win-win!
But now, after this pirated version came out, why is Wu Xiang so uncomfortable?
In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's money or not, because the box office is already quite good, very good. But this pirated copy makes Wu Xiang feel disgusted. It makes him feel as if he is being raped by himself.
