I have to say that "Crazy Pineapple", a follow-up film, was actually shot quite carefully, and even the quality of its trailer is even better than "Crazy Stone".
After all, the production budget of "Crazy Stone" itself is small, and the overall temperament of the film is also down-to-earth. Therefore, although the plot is exciting and beautiful, the overall look and feel lacks a bit of the special flavor of the film.
But "Crazy Pineapple" is different. It fully absorbed and borrowed the strengths of "Crazy Stone" and found ways to make up for some shortcomings, so now it seems that its trailer is more beautiful.
As for the specific plot, it actually uses the core framework of "Crazy Stone" and adds another layer of skin.
The frame of the story of "Crazy Stone" is that the three parties compete for wits and courage around the jade stone, the trio of stupid thieves, the international thief, and the protagonist responsible for protecting the jade stone. Within this general framework, many other details and clues are interspersed
, making the story more exciting and the characters more fleshed out, and finally the overall film was formed.
"Crazy Pineapple" also has three parties, competing around a precious diamond hidden in a pineapple. There are robbers who block the road, a diamond thief, and an ordinary fruit seller and his wife. These three parties
They are entangled with each other and unfold many incredible plots. Although the details are different from "Crazy Stone", it can be seen that they are obviously imitating.
Even in terms of editing techniques, "Crazy Pineapple" also adopts a non-linear narrative, using various flashbacks, interludes, and flashbacks. It can be said to be an all-round deconstruction and imitation of "Crazy Stone".
Such a film can at least attract a group of fans who like "Crazy Stone".
Of course, when "Crazy Pineapple" began to be vigorously promoted, it soon aroused a very strong public response.
On the one hand, many people immediately understood that this was a copycat of "Crazy Stone", so they dismissed the film, and many even directly criticized it, thinking it was a shameless plagiarism.
However, the legal definition of plagiarism is actually very vague. Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Crazy Pineapple" and "Crazy Stone" have many similarities, the specific details and plot content are different. Therefore, the legal
There is no way to make a direct ruling, which gives the other party an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"If you say it's plagiarism, then go ahead and sue. If you win, you'll scold me again!"
Of course, no one actually complained. After all, it was a time-consuming and thankless matter. Even Ni Hao and Chen Feng turned a blind eye to it, and it was even less likely that others would take action.
There is no way, Yongyuan Entertainment has taken advantage of a big loophole, and no one can do anything about it.
As a result, Yongyuan Entertainment gradually further expanded its promotion efforts, and it has even become as popular as "Flying Fairies".
As a low-budget film following the trend, it can be considered a success to create the current situation.
…
And "Flying Fairies" also released its second trailer at the right time.
Different from the first trailer, the second trailer of "The Fairyland" is full of gorgeous special effects. Whether it is an ethereal fairyland or a fierce battle, all the special effects are very well done and can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
, these special effects are valuable and require a lot of effort and money to produce.
But...someone soon began to question whether this time it was like "Shushan Fairy Love", where all the special effects were put in the trailer?
After all, everyone has already suffered a loss.
It has to be said that "Shushan Fairy Love" is a gimmicky movie that has indeed left an indelible bad impression on the film market.
But now the general environment has become like this. No matter how the movie company explains it, many people will still have doubts.
We have no choice but to wait for the film to be officially released and use real word-of-mouth reviews to reverse this evaluation.
…
As time goes by, May Day is coming soon, but this time period is not a very popular period, so the only two films that are more competitive are "The Flying Fairy" and "Crazy Pineapple".
They are the biggest competitors.
Han Xiaohong has returned to Kyoto City and is ready to start promoting the movie with all her strength. As the second female lead, An Ruohua is one of the leading actors in the movie, so she needs to run around with Han Xiaohong from time to time.
Sometimes she would go to some offline promotion activities, and sometimes she would need to participate in interviews for some TV shows. In short, An Ruohua also became busy.
Chen Feng now has nothing to do and has almost become an idler.
His most important thing now is to discuss the decoration of his new home with Qin Ziran.
Qin Ziran has already given several plans. Chen Feng and An Ruohua chose the one they were most satisfied with, and then put forward many modifications based on the plan. Qin Ziran has been following it very patiently, watching
The final result will be finalized.
Chen Feng is looking forward to his new home of 260 square meters.
However, even if it is installed according to the decoration plan, it will take another two or three months to move in. Although Chen Feng will use the most environmentally friendly decoration materials by then, it is always good to have more ventilation.
In addition to worrying about the decoration of his new home, Chen Feng occasionally goes to Tailang Entertainment for shopping.
Nowadays, Tailang Entertainment can be said to be prosperous.
Zhang Yiwen won the Chinese Music Golden Melody Award, and her fame and prestige are growing. Now she is firmly ranked as a first-line star singer.
However, she is not bloated. In addition to participating in some necessary activities and performances, she spends the rest of her time honing her singing skills. At the same time, she also takes the initiative to learn music theory, composition and other related professional knowledge. She is not satisfied with just being a singer.
.
At the same time, she has not forgotten Chen Feng's previous instructions. Now her English has been practiced well, and she can at least sing some simple English songs.
Moreover, Song Xiao and Xia Luo have recently helped Zhang Yiwen write a few new songs of good quality. In a while, Zhang Yiwen will release new songs again, and the music scene will probably be active again.
Song Xiao himself is also polishing his new work recently. Since "Someone Like Me" became popular, his reputation has become more and more popular, and he has gradually gained many die-hard fans. Many people are looking forward to his work.
New works.
However, this is a big challenge for him. After all, "Someone Like Me" is so good that his new songs may not reach this level.
But Song Xiao's mentality is relatively stable. He also knows that he may not be able to write such a good song for a long time, but does he stop writing new songs just because he can't write it?
This is impossible.
Therefore, there are always peaks and troughs in life. If you enjoy the happiness at the peak, you must also endure the humility of the troughs. Ups and downs are the real life.
As for Xia Luo, he has been completely convinced since he saw "Bing Yu" and "Stupid Kid" written by Chen Feng. Now he can work peacefully for Tailang Entertainment every day. He does have some talents.
, he has successively written many new songs about young girls for Sister Xia. These are the candidate songs for Sister Xia to form a youth singing and dancing girl group in the future.
Sister Xia’s ability is really strong. Now the youth girl group she leads has taken shape. There are about six or seven candidates. Each one is young and beautiful, and they also have their own characteristics. This small-scale
The girl group is Sister Xia's first trial. If the follow-up results are good, Tailang Entertainment will give her greater support.
And now the most miserable people in Tailang Entertainment are probably Lin Zhehua and Wang Xu.
Lin Zhehua was thrown to many crews by Chen Feng to play various roles, and most of the roles were not many and could be filmed in a few days. However, Lin Zhehua himself had little time to rest and had to work continuously.
Because only in this way can he quickly accumulate acting experience in many crews. After a while, there will be a very challenging new role waiting for him to play, and he must make continuous progress.
Chen Feng had already communicated with him several times in private about related matters, so Lin Zhehua himself did not dare to neglect it. After all, this was also his own career. He was now in his thirties and did not have much time for him to wait.
You must try your best to seize every opportunity.
Therefore, he has been working hard without complaint, hoping that he will not live up to Chen Feng's expectations of him in the future, nor will he live up to his own future.
After Wang Xu finished filming the TV series for Xinhuang Group, he also took on some new movies one after another. Now he is also under great pressure because he also wants to give Lin Yiran a better life.
Although Lin Yiran himself doesn't care about money and material things, Wang Xu still has to care about it as a man. Moreover, seeing that Chen Feng and An Ruohua have reached a higher level, Lin Yiran is An Ruohua's best friend.
Friends can't be too bad. Therefore, Wang Xu felt that he had the responsibility to give Lin Yiran a better future, so he also worked hard.
People who have a direction have endless motivation. Lin Zhehua and Wang Xu are both moving forward firmly towards their respective goals!
…
In the entire Tailang Entertainment, Xu Tailang has now become an idler like Chen Feng.
Now that the company is officially on the right track, he finally no longer has to be as busy as before. Moreover, after that period of training, Xu Tailang's temperament and ability have also improved by leaps and bounds. Now he is really able to strategize.
The boss of an entertainment company.
After he could relax, Xu Tailang had more time to spend with Lin Shengxue. The two of them now stick together almost every day, and Xu Tailang finally achieved his original revenge.
Thinking carefully about his experiences during this period, Xu Tailang found that he had undergone earth-shaking changes. From the beginning as a mediocre recording studio boss to the current boss of Tailang Entertainment, it all seemed like a dream.
Same.
But Xu Tailang also knew very well that Tailang Entertainment is what it is today, thanks to Chen Feng.
You may meet many people in your life, but if you are lucky enough to be friends with someone like Chen Feng, it will definitely be a very happy thing!
The happier thing is that now, the two of them are able to leisurely get together occasionally, drink tea, and chat. This kind of occasional get-together between good friends is quite pleasant.
Just like now, Chen Feng was sitting in Xu Tailang's office, sipping a pot of fine Pu'er tea, chatting with Xu Tailang wordlessly.
"The tea is good tea, but it's a pity that I can't taste the difference." Chen Feng said slowly while looking at the beautiful tea cup.
Xu Tailang chuckled: "Actually, I can't taste it...but...things are good things after all. It's better to drink genuine products than those fake and defective products."
"Fake goods..." Xu Tailang paused and continued to say with a smile: "Fake goods are fakes after all... Many people may not be able to taste genuine goods, but they can still taste fake goods.
