621 Premiere, Appearance of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse(1/2)
At the premiere of "Now You See Me", the movie was also released around the world at about the same time due to the time difference.
In Beijing, Liu Tianxian and his best friend Shu Chang appeared in a remote small theater wearing hats and masks, and they specially chose a late show.
There is no way, now is not ten years later, there are too few people wearing masks.
That is to say, the smog in Beijing can be somewhat protected, but in other cities, this appearance would not attract attention as usual.
In fact, it's normal for celebrities to watch movies in private, and it doesn't matter if they are recognized. However, Liu Tianxian keeps a low profile and still hopes to avoid trouble.
Of course, more importantly, if she is found to be watching "Now You See Me", considering the character of "Now You See Me", there may be all kinds of speculation.
After quietly receiving the tickets, the two found a seat in the corner to wait. Shu Chang couldn't help teasing her best friend, "Seriously, are you chasing Yang Mi to watch this movie?"
"no."
Liu Tianxian shook his head in denial, took a sip of the milk tea he just bought, closed his eyes and enjoyed the collision of milk and pearls in his mouth.
The female celebrity has strict management on "eating", not to mention that she is prone to gain weight. The management team and her mother have a complete prohibition on milk tea, which is high in sugar and high calories, but Liu Tianxian can't get around it easily.
This time, she invited Shu Chang to watch a movie. The assistant was waiting in the car and no one was watching. She took the opportunity to indulge a little bit.
"Really?"
Shu Chang expressed doubts. Others didn't know it. She had a good relationship with Liu Tianxian, so she still knew something about the inside story.
Liu Tianxian spoke indifferently and seemed to regard the other party as nothing, but in his heart he always valued this old enemy.
As far as she knew, Liu Tianxian secretly set up several small accounts, followed Damimi's Weibo, personal post bar, Shijiang.com group and other fan gathering places to personally collect intelligence and spy on the enemy.
This time "Now You See Me" was released, although Liu Tianxian kept saying that it was for Cao Xuanhe's rare masterpiece.
But Shu Chang felt that Da Mimi was the first factor that led Liu Tianxian to drag her to watch the movie without even sleeping on her beauty salon.
Faced with Shu Chang's suspicion, Liu Tianxian decisively changed the subject: "Don't talk about this, how is your drama? It seems to be banned?"
"Well, your company filed the lawsuit. Yu Zheng lost the lawsuit, so he probably has to hide it." Speaking of this matter, Shu Chang couldn't help but sigh.
In the past two years, due to the popularity of hit TV series such as "Myth" and "Tang Gong Suo Jade", the theme of time travel has become very popular.
Last year, Tang Dynasty announced that it was planning to produce the famous Qing Dynasty online drama "Bu Bu Jing Xin". Yu Zheng, the dead girl who started working with Huan Rui, also made a Qing Dynasty drama "Gong Xin Suo Jade", which was also released in "Bu Bu Jing Xin" "Heart" was aired before.
It is clear that I want to capture the attention of "Bu Bu Jing Xin". By the way, the name is similar to "Tang Gong Suo Jade", and I also want to catch up with the popularity.
This kind of operation is a little disgusting, but you really can't do anything about it. Although it is a side effect, it is not illegal.
The heroine of Dead Girl's "Gong Lock Heart Jade" is a woman from Xinjiang Province who must not be named. The two have collaborated before in "The Maid Under the Big House", and he prefers to use an acquaintance.
The male lead is Feng Shaofeng, who has also worked with him in "Lock Up" before. The second male lead, He Shengming, is an artist under his banner, and the third female lead, Yang Rong, is also an artist under his banner and is also a classmate.
The second female lead, Shu, was the only one to sing. It was the first time we collaborated with a dead girl, and it was a huge disaster.
The ratings data of "Gongsuo Jade" is quite good. Taken together, it should be second only to "Zhen Zhi" in recent months, and it is on par with "The Princess", or even slightly better.
However, just because this TV series was so popular, something happened.
Someone has taken stock of the plot of "Gong Lock Heart Jade".
I found that its setting borrowed from well-known youth novels such as "Bu Bu Jing Xin" and "Dream Back to the Qing Dynasty", and the character setting was a bit plagiarized from "Meteor Garden". Four\Eight\Nine\Ten is simply a replica of Daoming Temple and other f4s.
The most egregious thing is that a lot of specific plots in it imitate or simply copy the "Tang Gong Suo Jade" starring Damimi.
Just for the one-to-one plot plagiarism listed by the good guys, there are more than 20 points, and the cumulative length almost exceeds two episodes.
An ordinary film and television company would not be able to bear it, let alone Fanxing. They would directly take the dead girl to court without saying anything.
Demand that the TV series be taken off the shelves, the screenwriter/director and crew apologize publicly, and claim for 2 million yuan in economic losses...
Facing the giant that is Fanxing, the dead girl did not give up at all. She also claimed that she was a "master" and "if you can't survive it, you are bullshit, but if you survive it, you are a master."
In the interview video, the dead girl was beaming, grinning, with a proud face, as if I just copied it, what can you do to me.
The dead girl is a habitual offender of plagiarism, and is known as plagiarist in Tianya Forum.
The previous "Harem of the Qing Dynasty" was considered to be a replica of "Golden Branch Desire", and many plots of another drama were also very similar to Fan Xiaopang's "Beauty's Scheming". In addition, many authors and writers came out to beat him.
He has a famous saying: "As long as plagiarism does not exceed 20%, it will be fine. For example, if you plagiarize all 20 episodes, but extend it to 100 episodes, the court will not pursue it."
This sentence was disclosed by his former collaborator and corroborated by other insiders. It is very true.
However, no one has treated him in these years, and there has been no major negative controversy, resulting in the dead girl getting away with it.
Until "Gong Suo Xin Jade" became popular, "Golden Branch Desire" was a Hong Kong drama with little success, and "Tang Gong Suo Jade" was a hit in the past two years.
Many people still remember those plots. Comparing the two aspects cannot be understood by a dead girl in just one sentence.
The most important thing is that his generous attitude angered Fanxing.
In fact, at the beginning, Fanxing didn't want to do anything to him, because plagiarism is difficult to define. When creating this kind of thing, it often pays attention to routines and patterns, and never deviates from the original.
It is normal for the same setting to have two sets of stories. Many creators have examples of imitating each other, and even stars cannot completely eliminate them.
The dead girl was hammered because her appearance was so ugly that anyone would be suspected of plagiarism at a glance, otherwise Fanxing would not have appealed.
Even so, Fanxing didn't think about what he would do to the other party, and his delisting and huge compensation were more of a beating and a warning.
As long as the dead girl publicly apologizes, reshoots and deletes some obvious plot points, and pays a symbolic compensation of tens of thousands of dollars, the problem will be over. This is the case for most plagiarism cases in the industry, and the price is even lighter than this.
But the fault was that the dead girl was too trusting and made the same mistake as the fat little black guy before.
He thought he was famous and powerful, and relied on some cleverness and tricks with words, greatly underestimating the consequences of angering a Big Mac.
His response was interpreted by Fanxing as a naked provocation, so Asia's number one entertainment company, which has cultivated its moral integrity in recent years, finally showed its fangs.
To Fanxing, the dead girl is really just a small character, and there is no need to worry at all. He can make him kneel down and call daddy in two or three strokes.
Therefore, Fanxing continued to appeal and increased the previous compensation of 2 million to 10 million.
At the same time, after several operations, all three projects in the dead girl's hands were stalled.
A TV station that was originally interested in the project made it clear that it would stop cooperating with it, several investors in a project directly withdrew their funds and left, and there was also a project where two leading actors who were about the same deal suddenly announced a schedule conflict.
Even Huanrui, who claimed to be the dead girl's backer, didn't dare to let go, and instead demanded a public apology from the dead girl.
The proud dead girl found that the world was turned upside down within a week, and she was completely confused.
He wanted to contact someone to plead for mercy, but given his popularity, no one was willing to help. After struggling for several days, the dead girl posted a public apology letter on Weibo.
"I was wrong, this is a bloody lesson" But when the matter has reached this point, it cannot be ended by apologizing.
Due to public opinion from the outside world, the relevant platforms removed "Gong Lock Heart Jade" from the shelves.
It is inevitable that this TV series will remain dormant. Even if it can be released in the future, it will only be a few years later and its popularity will be gone.
And after the conflict with Fanxing, Dead Girl's future career will definitely have some impact. At least for a short period of time, he will have to keep a low profile for a while.
The compensation lawsuit required by Fanxing still needs to be fought. The top legal team in the entertainment industry is not joking. Even if the compensation cannot be 10 million, they still have to scratch their skin.
In addition to Fanxing, because the TV series was removed from the shelves, advertisers, investors, and platforms will probably have to find trouble with the instigator, Dead Girl, which is enough to make him drink a pot.
I don’t know if the dead girl regretted her rudeness at this time, otherwise he wouldn’t have been so miserable.
At the same time, he should also be glad that Fanxing did not completely kill them all, but only taught him a huge lesson, otherwise he could just pack up his things and change his career.
Apart from other things, with the energy of Fanxing, it is completely possible to ban "Gong Lock Heart Jade" through the official. If this is done, it is completely different from the platform taking the initiative to remove it.
The platform will take it off the shelves, hide in the limelight for two years, and then release it again. If it is officially banned, it will remain in the dark forever.
Even Dead Girl may be reduced to a semi-banned status because of this matter. All platform parties and investors dare not use him for the sake of insurance, and their careers will directly fall into the abyss.
The reason why Fanxing didn't do that was not because he was merciful to the dead girl, but because once the officials were brought to the end, many things that followed might be out of control.
You can ban a girl today, but if something happens tomorrow, can you ban another one? What are the criteria and standards for banning?
Should the banned works of artists or directors be removed from the shelves? If so, who will bear the other losses?
If a trend develops and everyone reports on each other in the future, leading the authorities to block each other, and the whole circle is in turmoil, what should we do?
Cao Xuan understood very well that once some holes are opened, they cannot be blocked even if they want to, and the consequences cannot be explained clearly in one sentence.
From a selfish point of view, Cao Xuan supported some banning decisions. Some people just deserved their punishment, but sometimes he felt that it was a bit too much, so that everyone was in disarray, the news was trembling, and the artists did not even dare to say anything.
No matter what happens in the future, at this moment, Cao Xuan does not want to open this Pandora's box from his own hands.
The dead girl was taken care of. Although Shu Chang was not implicated, the new drama that was broadcast was gone and it was impossible not to be affected at all. This made Shu Chang's heart wrinkle and hurt when he thought about it. Liu Tianxian looked at Yu
I couldn't bear it, so I made a few remarks.
"Our company is preparing to shoot the fourth film of Teacher Cao's Music Universe IP, which is "The Year in a Hurry". We need young actors. I can recommend you to give it a try."
"You don't want to shoot "The Year in a Hurry"?" "I don't want to make campus-themed movies anymore, for fear of being stereotyped."
Liu Tianxian gave her own answer. She has already filmed two youth campus films and won the title of "National First Love". If she continues acting like this, it is really possible to form a stereotype. She is currently on the rise, so naturally she does not want to put herself in the spotlight.
Circle to death.
Moreover, "That Year in a Hurry" is a group drama, and the company's positioning is mainly to promote newcomers. Not only did Liu Tianxian go to steal the limelight, it would also easily cause budget pressure.
"Well, I don't know if people like me or not."
Shu Chang is under a bit of pressure. Frankly speaking, she has been in a period of decline in the past two years. Since "Magic Phone", she has not performed particularly well. The only "Gong Lock Heart Jade" that made her debut was removed from the shelves.
More importantly, she has made very few movies before, which may be her negative point.
But you still have to give it a try if you have the chance. After the popularity of "Girls We Chased Together in Those Years", Fanxing Music Universe IP has also become popular, especially "That Year in a Hurry" is similar to the youth campus theme, and the prospects are still very good
