Chapter 503: Breaking 100 million in the first week

readx;? Zhang Ran took the "Xinjing Daily" newspaper and looked at it slowly, his brows tightened more and more, and finally wrinkled together completely. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info But after reading this report, Zhang Ran's eyebrows were relaxed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked with a sneer.

The report of "Xinjing Daily" is very detailed, not only pointing out that the high-definition version of "Three Fools" has been published on the Internet, but also the reporter personally verified and downloaded the high-definition version of "Three Fools" from the Internet. The whole article describes the process of the reporter in detail, and it is simply a download guide.

Zhang Ran was naturally very angry, but at the same time there was a hint of joy. Previously, Zhang Ran suspected that the piracy might be Tianhong Pictures or Hua Yifang, but there was no way to confirm it, but now this report has made Zhang Ran determine the target.

"Xinjing Daily" reported that this incident was clearly about to fall into the ground, but I didn't know, but it exposed itself. Because now Baidu has blocked, Google has adjusted the algorithm, and at the same time, the peak of the century has destroyed a lot of piracy, and it is more difficult to find pirated copies of "Three Fools" on the Internet. It is very strange that the reporters of "Xinjing Bao" were able to easily find pirated copies! When Zhang Ran clashed with Tianhong Pictures two years ago, "Xinjing Bao" was involved in it, and this time it was "Xinjing Bao", is it really just a coincidence? Zhang Ran did not believe that this was a coincidence, and it should be the ghost of Tianhong Pictures.

As soon as the news of "Xinjing News" came out, the entire film industry was shaken!

In the past, the gun version of the movie was released two or three days after the release, and the high-definition version will be released half a month later. But this time, the HD version of "Three Fools" came out in two days, and almost everyone instinctively felt fear. Zhang Ran's movie can be released in two days in HD, and his own movie may also be released in two days. Zhang Ran still has an overseas box office, and he relies entirely on the domestic box office, if the high-definition version is released in two or three days, the loss is simply immeasurable!

There was also a lot of discussion on the Internet, some netizens suspected that it was the opponent's malicious competition, and some netizens suspected that the theater chain did it, but more people were downloading.

There are many reasons why domestic film piracy has been repeatedly banned, among which movie tickets are too expensive. The per capita income in the country is one-tenth that of the United States, but the ticket price is about the same as that of the United States, which means that the ticket price is ten times more expensive than the United States. Most Chinese people have a monthly income of more than 1,000 yuan, but movie tickets cost 4,50 yuan, and watching movies is a luxury for Chinese people. Buying a pirated disc for 5 yuan and watching a movie that sells dozens of dollars a ticket in the theater will definitely make many people dispel the idea of entering the theater.

However, in the face of the report of "Xinjing Daily" and the heated discussions of netizens, Zhang Ran did not respond, and did not even issue a condemnation statement, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Ran's reaction disappointed many insiders, Zhang Ran is the most influential director in China, and he also has a certain reputation in the world, everyone hopes that Zhang Ran can pick this head, come out and make a fuss, so that the country can increase the crackdown on piracy. The punishment for piracy in China is very light, and in 02, Zhang Yimou's "Hero" piracy incident caused a stir, and in the end, the pirate was fined 10,000 yuan, which did not have any deterrent effect at all, so everyone hoped that Zhang Ran could stand up. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ran actually admitted it and pretended to be an ostrich!

In fact, Zhang Ran is not pretending to be an ostrich, nor is he admitting it, now only "Xinjing Daily" reported that "Three Fools" suffered from high-definition piracy, as soon as he responded, the national media would definitely pave the way for the report, and the audience who didn't know that "Three Fools" came out of the high-definition version knew it.

This can only be handled coldly!

On the morning of December 28th, the Summit of the Century Conference Room.

The company's top executives gathered together with the first-week box office of "Three Fools", which had just been released.

In the first five days, the box office was 102.44 million, breaking through the 100 million yuan mark in the first week!

However, the box office of "Three Fools" is obviously affected by piracy, the box office on the first day is 20.45 million, the second day is 29.55 million, according to this trend, the third day should be higher, because the third day is Christmas, and it is Friday, but the actual box office is only 24.56 million, the fourth day is Saturday, the box office is only 15.73 million, and the fifth day is even less, only 12.15 million.

In three days, the film lost more than 10 million at the box office due to piracy.

However, Zhang Ran is still quite satisfied with the performance of "Three Fools": "The high-definition version has a great impact on the movie, under normal circumstances, if the box office is 10 million per day before piracy, the high-definition piracy will immediately drop to 7 million, and the decline will exceed 30." We have a good drop of 15, so let's keep working hard to get it to 10!"

We all know that the entertainment industry is more chaotic, and the unspoken rules are popular, and the Internet is even more chaotic, there are no rules at all, there are more things with no bottom limit, hao1 hangs a yellow network to attract netizens, antivirus software deliberately spreads viruses, etc. As an Internet company, no website can avoid being attacked maliciously, and a website without security will die a miserable death.

The pinnacle of the century is responsible for network security is Huang Xin, a very famous hacker in China, and the famous Trojan Horse Binghe was made by him. After the establishment of Century Peak, Zhang Ran dug him up with a high salary, asked him to take charge of the security work of the website, and set up a security laboratory.

Huang Xin put his finger on his glasses and said, "15 is already our limit. There are thousands of pirated websites. The big forums and websites such as the Garden of Eden and the Holy City Homeland are easier to deal with, and we directly contact the other party to ask for deletion, and if the other party does not delete it, we will use technical means to crack down. The trouble is a small website, the operator cannot be contacted at all, and the server is overseas, which is very troublesome to deal with. We have limited manpower, so we can only focus on big websites and forums, and we can't manage small ones at all!"

Zhang Ran knew that this was difficult: "Do your best, what extent can you do it, what extent!" Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and asked, "How are the people who spread piracy have investigated?"

Huang Xin shook his head and said: "The opponent is very cunning, the pirated accounts are all new accounts, and proxy servers are used, these servers are all abroad, and there is no way to check them, but in the process of tracking, we found that someone from the crew of "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" posted our pirated version on the Internet!"

Zhang Ran frowned: "Are you sure?"

Huang Xin didn't explain, plugged in the USB flash drive, and then played it through the projector. A blog page appeared on the screen with a poster of "The Three Fools", as well as information about pirated links, and the notation "Don't ask me who I am, I'm just a porter of nature" with a sense of humor. The blog flipped forward, and the promotional poster of the movie "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles" was posted on it, as well as a photo with Zhang Weiping.

Everyone present was furious, this was too much, too blatant!

"It seems that our pirated version was leaked by the crew of "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone"!"

"Under normal circumstances, we wouldn't think that it was "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" to do it, and we don't think they would be so stupid. They'll just come up with a plan, and you won't think it's me anyway, so I'll just let you pirate!"

"The new picture is simply rampant, it is simply fearless!"

However, Zhang Ran still shook his head: "This pirated version is from the 26th, it should be that we are in trouble and fall into the ground." I don't know what the new picture thinks, this kind of thing should be the same enemy, just forget if you don't stand on our side, but you have to fall into the ground. Zhang Weiping is a smart person, how can his subordinates be so stupid?" Speaking of this, Zhang Ran suddenly glanced at him: "No, Zhang Weiping is trying to hype! Okay, let's accompany him to stir up!"

At the same time as Zhang Ran and their meeting, major domestic media were reporting the news that "Three Fools" broke 100 million yuan in the first week.

Although the first week of "Three Fools" was five days, the box office did exceed 100 million, which is the first movie in the mainland to exceed 100 million in the first week!

Many people have long been convinced that the box office of "Three Fools" will inevitably exceed 100 million, but when the news came that the box office exceeded 100 million in the first week, the entire film industry was still boiling!

The box office exceeded 100 million in the first week, and even after ten years, it was also a good result. In 2005, it was a complete miracle, and more importantly, "Three Fools" was only released for five days, and the word-of-mouth was amazingly good, and according to the current trend, it will definitely exceed 200 million!

"Three Fools" is a comedy starring a group of unfamous and newly graduated students, and the box office exceeded 100 million yuan in the first week, which is really jaw-dropping!

Zhang Ran is really a genius, too powerful!

Under the overwhelming bombardment of the media, many middle-aged people who were not interested in "Three Fools" began to wonder what kind of movie this was, and they entered the theater one after another.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang Ran turned on the computer, clicked on Zhang Jingchu's blog and wrote: "I believe many friends know that "Three Fools" suffered from high-definition piracy, piracy has caused harm to me, to all the people in front of and behind the scenes of the movie, and to the entire film market. I don't mean to accuse the audience of pirated copies, everyone can watch "Three Fools", which means that they also like this movie. But I think you can leave some space for "Three Fools", even if there is a pirated version, please download it in two weeks, and even if you watch it, please don't spread it. "Three Fools" is a very good movie, and the effect of watching it in the cinema is definitely different from watching it on the computer, and I still hope that everyone can go into the cinema and support this movie.

I can understand the audience watching piracy, and I can understand the pirates selling pirated copies, but I can't understand the behavior of some peers. After the piracy appeared on the Internet, some peers even set up a blatant spread of the piracy of "Three Fools" on the Internet. This makes me very angry, and any filmmaker with a conscience should not do this, this kind of behavior is harming the entire film industry. I strongly condemn this kind of behavior!"

At the back of the article, Zhang Ran attached a screenshot of the webpage, which was a screenshot of the staff blog of "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles" discovered by Huang Xin. Of course, Zhang Ran did not specify that he was the staff of "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles", only that he was a colleague.

As soon as Zhang Ran's blog was released, it immediately caused a sensational effect. According to the screenshots, many Zhang Ran fans immediately found the blog, and the pirated link sent by the owner of the blog is still there. Fans took the opportunity to flip through other articles on the blog and soon found that it was the staff of "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone".

"Damn, I'm too done, I'm not afraid of retribution! I'm ashamed to watch "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" yesterday!"

"Resolutely resist the shameless behavior of "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles", and never watch Zhang Yimou's movies again in the future!"

"Solidarity with Teacher Zhang Ran, some people's eating appearance should not be too ugly. It's too shameless to let other people's pirated versions of "Three Fools" go unchecked! If you have the ability, you can make a good movie! Resolutely resist "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone"!"

Media reporters have been paying attention to Zhang Ran's movements, and naturally noticed the content on Zhang Jingchu's blog, and naturally discovered that the staff of "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles" posted a pirated version of "Three Fools".

Zhang Ran encountered high-definition piracy, and the mastermind behind the scenes is suspected to be "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles"!

The media reporters are a little excited, this is the rhythm of the front page headlines!

In less than an hour, the headlines of the entertainment pages of Xinlang, Tencent and other portals were replaced by the news of Zhang Ran's bombardment of Zhang Weiping. (To be continued)
