It's around eight o'clock in the evening.

After Shao Yang took Ma Li, Li Ailun and other leading actors for a road show at the Starlight Cinema in Shanghai, they went back to their respective places.

Judging from the interviews with audiences in the theater just now, the market response to "Shameful Iron Fist" is still very good.

After Shaoyang went home and took a shower, he has been waiting for the box office results on the first day.

Finally, after eleven o'clock, after the last movie was shown, several theaters finally sent the box office revenue statistics to Shaoyang.

"Shameful Iron Fist" had a box office of 123 million on its first day, temporarily ranking first among the eight movies released during the same period. Although the box office of "Monster Hunting Diary" was only 2 million less than "Shameful Iron Fist", it still

The box office on the first day finally allowed "Shameful Iron Fist" to take the first place.

This result not only made the director of "Monster Hunting Diary" Feng Qiang and many investors doubt their lives, but also shocked other directors.

Who is Feng Qiang?

Among directors in Beijing, he is the one who has produced the most films with a box office of over 1 billion.

"Monster Hunting Diary" has an investment of more than 200 million. The screenwriter is Cao Shuang, who wrote "Jianghu Gaiden". It also invited big actors such as Jia Zhengnan and Zheng Bingyan to participate.

In the end, it couldn't compare to a movie made by a group of 'newcomers'.

If this is the case, how will other directors get involved in the future?

"impossible."

"impossible!"

"There's definitely something wrong."

Feng Qiang was very happy when he saw that the box office on the first day had reached 121 million, but when he heard that the box office of "Shameful Iron Fist" had reached 123 million, Feng Qiang felt bad. www.bǐqυgetν.

℃ǒm

Before the movie was released, he swore to investors that he would not take seriously the movie Shaoyang invested in.

As a result, when the first-day box office rankings came out, it was a slap in the face.

Feng Qiang couldn't accept it, couldn't accept it at all.

He immediately picked up his mobile phone and made a call to the distributor: "Mr. Jiang, are you sure the box office revenue statistics are correct?"

"It shouldn't be wrong."

"But…"

"Director Feng, I won't say more to you since I'm on the way here."

After hanging up the phone, Feng Qiang sat on the hotel sofa and doubted his life.

A long, long time.

When Feng Qiang was about to go to sleep, his cell phone rang again.

It was Li Yuntian calling. Feng Qiang didn't want to answer the call at first, but thinking that Li Yuntian was also one of the investors, he answered the call anyway.

"Mr. Li, is something wrong?"

"Director Feng, don't worry, our movie's box office will surpass "The Shameful Iron Fist" tomorrow."

Feng Qiang frowned and asked quickly: "Why is Mr. Li so sure?"

Li Yuntian laughed and told Feng Qiang everything he had done. Although Feng Qiang felt that this behavior was immoral and even obscene, he didn't want to see the box office of "Shameful Iron Fist"

More than "Monster Hunting Diary".

"Mr. Li, don't tell anyone else this kind of thing."

"Don't worry, Director Feng. I'm making this call just to reassure you. God knows this, you know it, I know it, and no one else will know about it."

Feng Qiang hung up the phone, opened the browser webpage, and searched for "Shameful Iron Fist" in the search box, and all the resources of various pirated websites came out.

…

The sky is slightly bright.

Shaoyang drowsily took out his phone from under his pillow. He originally wanted to check the time, but as soon as the screen was unlocked, WeChat message notifications popped up like crazy.

Shaoyang clicked on WeChat and casually clicked on the voice message from Ma Li.

"Brother Yang, it's not good. Our movie was filmed and uploaded to the Internet. Now there are gun version resources everywhere on the Internet. I just took a look. They should have used a professional machine to record it. The picture quality is very clear.

"

When Shaoyang heard this, he sat up from the bed.

Open the web page.

Enter "Shy Iron Fist" in the search box.

Click Search.

Good guy.

Below are the URLs of countless pirated movies.

Shaoyang randomly clicked on a website, and after buffering for a few seconds, the movie started playing.

This pirated version even cut off the title sequence, and the picture quality is very clear.

On the first night of the first day, high-definition pirated resources appeared. Of course, Shao Yang knew what kind of impact this would have on the movie box office. He immediately got dressed and got up, and called Lu Mei as soon as possible.

Lu Mei only found out about this in the morning. When she saw Shaoyang calling, she immediately answered the call.

"Hey, Shaoyang, what are you going to do now?"

“First, let the Ministry of Justice send legal letters to the companies behind all pirated websites, asking them to remove pirated resources immediately.”

Lu Mei said: "I have already asked people to do it, but once this kind of resource spreads on the Internet, it cannot be completely removed. Such high-definition resources must be ordered by someone. Who do you think it could be?"

"I don't know. There are more than one or two people who are jealous of me. I'll think of a solution first."

"good."

The picture quality of the gun version is so clear, who is willing to spend money to watch it in the cinema.

Shaoyang thought about it and couldn't think of any good solution. He could only post a Weibo first to ask everyone to support the genuine version, and also asked the theater chain to investigate the matter. After all, if the movie is pirated, the theater chain will also be affected.

The next day passed quickly.

During the road show, Shaoyang could clearly feel that there were not as many people watching movies today as there were yesterday.

really.

After 11pm, the box office for the day came out.

The box office instantly fell back to 70 million.

According to the rules of the film industry, basically the box office in the first three days was about the same, but now it dropped by nearly half on the second day. You can imagine how much it has been affected.

This was just the beginning. By the third day, it was obvious that most of the pirated website resources had been removed from the shelves, but the box office was still only 50 million.

According to the reactions of netizens, many people have downloaded the resources to the network disk, and now some people are selling pirated resources at a price of 2 yuan.

A series of changes caught Shaoyang off guard.

On the fifth day, the box office of "Monster Hunting Diary" has almost exceeded 500 million, while "Shameful Iron Fist" has only exceeded 300 million.

It was not until the sixth day that the Film Bureau and Copyright Office jointly issued two notices.

"Strengthening film copyright protection and combating infringement and piracy in accordance with the law"

"Prohibition of websites and network disks from disseminating pirated movie resources"

After these two notices were released, piracy websites also immediately removed the gun version resources of "Shameful Iron Fist".

At the same time, Baidu also cooperated to clear the resources in the network disk.

On the seventh day, the box office finally rebounded a little bit, but only a little bit.

By the time the National Day holiday is over, "Shameful Iron Fist" will only have a box office of 420 million.

According to this trend, one month later, the box office will exceed 600 million at most.

After all, after the holidays, not many people will have time to go to the movies.

Shaoyang was also helpless about this.

On October 9th, the last day of the National Day holiday, Shaoyang posted a Weibo message with only four words in it.

【I am very disappointed】
