As soon as this sentence, which could be directly selected into the popular quotation of the year, came out, people all over the country were stunned.
In public perception, Director Chen does not know how to look at steamed buns, and even if he does, he will not have any reaction. He is an internationally renowned director, and Hu Ge is just a commoner, making a video to entertain everyone...
…
As a result, Director Chen not only wanted to sue, but also scolded him for not being so shameless!
Netizens quit, why is Hu Ge so shameless?
Are you really trying to protect your own rights?
This is exactly the crux of the matter. Director Chen did not let the public think that he was protecting copyright, but instead became angry and bullied others!
""Chongqing Evening News"
If before the premiere, reporters asked him what he should do if the box office was not good, it offended his bottom line, then this time, I'm afraid he thought he was taking off his underwear, so he went to the court to act coquettishly."
""New Express"
Not long after the steamed buns appeared, the author and my friends had a serious discussion about whether Director Chen would sue Hu Ge. In the end, everyone came to a unanimous conclusion: If he was smart enough, he shouldn't sue. However, he would definitely sue because he
It's Director Chen.
Judging from the Chen couple’s previous behavior of ‘anyone who says bad things about ‘The Promise’ will be destroyed, even pregnant women will not be spared’, if he doesn’t sue Hu Ge, he is definitely not Chen Kaige!”
"Netizen: I remember Brother Kai shed tears on "Artistic Life". I think he is a good person. Now it seems that those tears were all fake. He scolded Hu Ge in front of reporters for being shameless. Who is the shameless person? People cannot be so stupid.
!”
If there were positive and negative movie reviews before, when the lawsuit came out, the media and netizens were almost unanimous.
It even alarmed colleagues in the entertainment industry.
"Eric Tsang: It's become commonplace for many Hong Kong dramas to be adapted into various funny versions. Only when a movie becomes famous will some people be willing to adapt it. No one is willing to adapt a movie that is not a hit. You should be happy..."
"Lu Chuan: The current situation of criticism in China's literary and art circles is inherently unhealthy. Over-promotion of movies is becoming more and more common. Driven by interests, public reaction is increasingly out of touch with movie reviews. To prosecute a vulnerable member of the public under such circumstances,
It’s not appropriate.”
"Xu Jinglei: The lawsuits have been very hot in the past two days. Lao Xu's expectation for the outcome is: a peaceful resolution. Everyone should take it easy, why should we hurt the harmony."
Hong Huang also took advantage of the situation and wrote an article: "Because my ex-husband has a bad relationship with a steamed bun, all my friends have been making fun of me without any restraint over the past week and trying to tease me about my taste in men.
I feel very unjust about this.
First of all, it's really unfair to associate me with someone I haven't met, spoken to, or even touched in more than ten years.
Secondly, police officers at the police station often tell comrades who have made mistakes: ‘Just correct it if you make a mistake.’ Even if I have a criminal record, I can’t withdraw it every day, how unkind.”
It even caused surprise among friendly countries.
“The British Independent: China’s leading director was angered by the ‘Steamed Bun Murder Case’!”
“American academicians pay attention to the steamed bun murder case!”
Because footage from "China Rule of Law Report" was used in the steamed buns, CCTV was also interviewed.
A leader of CCTV Channel 12 said: "We will not get involved in this matter. I watched it again and it was just fun. Hu Ge is quite creative."
…………
Shanghai, small building.
In recent days, this small building has been surrounded by reporters from all over the three floors inside and outside. At first, Hu Ge was even interviewed, but later he ignored it.
That night, he opened the curtains and took a look. There were a lot fewer people outside, but there were still two people with amazing perseverance who were always squatting.
Well, literally, I squatted at the door and guarded it.
"Can I become a celebrity too?"
"It's like a play of the absurd!"
Hu Ge scratched his head. There was no rice or vegetables at home. He had to eat, so he had no choice but to walk out. The two reporters stood up.
"Eat! Eat first! After eating, I will be interviewed!"
"Then why bother, let's treat you, walk around, eat and chat."
So, the three of them went to a restaurant and ordered a few dishes. Hu Ge broke the pot and said: "What do you want to ask? The original intention of creating steamed buns, my family background, my response, or..."
"No, no, no, that's all in the past, now there's something new!"
A reporter said: "Five lawyers in Guangzhou have issued an open letter to express their support for you and offer free legal services."
"ah?"
"Netizens from Maiwo have also launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise legal fees for you. So far, 1,742.1 has been raised."
Snapped!
Hu Ge slapped him on the face, thank you, I’m not afraid of big troubles just because I’m watching the fun.
To be honest, he was a little scared.
It was just for fun, but I didn't expect it to become such a big deal. He didn't like to receive this kind of attention, and his life was disturbed. He didn't have the money to file a lawsuit, and he had a small selfish motive.
He has always wanted to develop in the entertainment industry and has a dream of being a director. If he offends Director Chen, how will he get along in the future?
"You seem to have a lawyer friend on Mantou's thank you list. Are you prepared for a lawsuit?"
"No, no, I came to him to consult on some procedural issues, because Mantou is based on a case, and I need to understand it."
"So now that public opinion is overwhelmingly supporting you, are you confident that you can win the lawsuit?"
"..."
Hu Ge was silent and shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet, I don't know."
After asking some more questions, after finishing the meal, Hu Ge was put back and he lay on the bed thinking about it: How about forget it, I apologize, and don't let the other party sue.
This is human nature. No one likes to litigate when there is room for reconciliation.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He even stood up and wanted to send an apology statement. As he was typing, his cell phone suddenly rang. The call was very unexpected.
It's Wu Jun, the person in charge of Maiwo Community - I met him at the 100 Party Gala and was toasted.
"Hello? Angkor?"
"Hu Ge, how are you now?"
"not too good."
"Haha, Mr. Yao asked me to tell you that no one in Maiwo can be bullied. We will provide you with the most superior litigation resources. We cover all the expenses. He will fight for one year, and we will accompany you for one year.
Ten years, we will fight with you for ten years!"
Hu Ge brushed it and his skin got goosebumps.
An indescribable thing was growing in the pit of my heart, and it was about to emerge from the eye socket.
He almost agreed, but felt uncomfortable and said: "Thank you, thank you very much, but I feel bad for troubling you with this matter.
What's more, what's more..."
Hu Ge paused and revealed his little secret that he wanted to develop in the entertainment industry.
"Hey, what do I want to do! Do you know 99 Entertainment? Come here right now, sign a contract, and try shooting commercials first... Your talent is obvious to all, and we got a director for nothing!"
What else could I say? Of course I agreed!
Hu Ge may not have great talent, but he is full of creativity. Later, he made "Birdcage Mountain Bandit Suppression", "Spring Festival Empire", etc., as well as a series of commercials for Seven-Up, all of which were great.
Cultivate and cultivate, even if you can't become a famous director, it would be very good to shoot something specifically for Maili Video, such as online majors and online dramas.
With Maiwo as his backer, he no longer struggled and posted a picture in his personal space in response:
"The people like it, but if you don't like it, who do you think they are?"
