Tang Wei's matter is over, she is still willing to take care of herself after becoming famous and continue to stay by Gu Zhi's side, Gu Zhi is still very moved in her heart.

It's simple to make a star popular, it's enough to make a high-grossing movie, or a high-rated TV series.

The really hard thing is what happens after becoming popular.

A "Butterfly Effect" made Tang Wei famous and knocked on the door of the upper echelons of the entertainment industry for her.

As soon as the total box office of the movie comes out, as long as it is higher than Feng Xiaogang's "A Sigh", or even flat, countless good resources will automatically find her and let her play the female number one.

And judging from the current box office trend, "Butterfly Effect" has won.

In this case, the impact of fame and fortune is unparalleled for a newcomer, who doesn't like brand-name bags, luxury cars and mansions, and doesn't want to become a goddess in the hearts of thousands of people.

As long as she signs a contract with Huayi, it is not surprising that she can have all of this and even more within two or three years.

Of course, the price is not without it, and there is a high probability that she needs to be dived in this process.

And what Gu Zhi gave her was just a promise after all.

The future is illusory, because of a promise to give up the big cake in front of him, this person is either really stupid and believes in a promise that has no guarantee at all, or he knows that he is stupid, and still chooses to believe without hesitation.

Gu Zhi didn't know what kind of Tang Wei was, but he inherited Tang Wei's unparalleled trust, and he would never let her down.

"Hey, how can this sentence be similar to what a man said in bed after taking his girlfriend for the first time······

···

People have good fortunes and misfortunes, and the moon is cloudy and sunny.

As soon as he finished dealing with Miss Tang Wei, Gu Zhi got bad news from Zhongying.

"The Butterfly Effect" was released for a week, and pirated copies have been circulating in major cities across the country!

And it's not the fuzzy garbage stuff of the gun version, and the camera is still dangling, it's a regular ultra-clear and uncensored original quality film.

Not only is there a large number of pirated VCD/DVD discs of "The Butterfly Effect" on the market, but there are also sources available online for download.

"This group of pirate dealers simply ignores copyright protection as nothing, and does not pay attention to laws and regulations at all!"

The above sentence was shouted out by Liu Qi through the phone when she informed Gu Zhi.

Liu Qi made this piracy incident very angry, "Butterfly Effect" is her first film, and she is doing almost half of the producer's work, and she has invested a lot of effort and time in the whole process.

was originally a hit at the box office, although she couldn't get a share, she was still very happy and shared it with her friends everywhere.

But now that piracy comes out, it will inevitably affect the box office results.

This is not what makes Liu Qi the most angry, the key is that "Butterfly Effect" is like a child she raised with hard work. After the child finally grew up, in a blink of an eye, the old Wang family next door stole the child without much effort.

Lao Wang stole it alone, he also shared the child and let everyone be the child's father.

That's her hard work, she worked tirelessly day and night to raise her children.

For the author, a work is the author's own flesh and blood, and piracy is the wanton sale and dissemination of other people's flesh and blood.

The more Liu Qi talked on the phone, the more angry she became, and in the end, it was Gu Zhi, the real copyright owner, who came to comfort her.

Gu Zhi was not angry about piracy, but he knew the current environment in China too well, and he didn't report any luck at all, and the pirated movie outflow was completely unexpected.

There is almost no piracy of any cultural products such as movies, and this is the case all over the world, but it is especially serious in China.

Even many foreign films that have not been released in China are sold in the mainland with pirated CDs, not to mention popular films that are being screened.

Gu Zhi clearly knew the cause of piracy, but he couldn't do anything to solve this matter.

Piracy cannot be controlled without relying on the government, and the most important reason is that the source of piracy is difficult to prevent, because almost all the sources of films flow from their own people.

Day and night, it is difficult to prevent thieves.

The studios themselves are the biggest source of piracy.

Some employees have bad intentions and specialize in providing film sources for pirates, while others simply turn a blind eye to the factory and move people to secretly cooperate with pirates to form an industrial chain.

The reason for this is that nowadays making movies always loses money, the box office is not guaranteed, and studios basically rely on government subsidies to make movies.

If you can't make money with regular methods, of course there will be people who want to make money in crooked ways.

The second largest source of outflow is distributors and movie theaters.

Distributors are mostly subordinate organizations of product factories, so they themselves are part of the piracy industry chain.

As for the cinema, since it has a copy of the movie, it is not impossible for the movie to be copied to the pirate dealer without permission.

The pirate itself is engaged in illegal business, so it is not a public company, but more of a factory without a name, and even the factory is simply built abroad.

These are the difficulties of control, and the result is that it cannot be prevented, caught, and prohibited.

In addition, there is often a view that pirated movies cultivate moviegoers.

Gu Zhi originally agreed, but now, as a member of the film industry, he realizes that this view is simply deceiving himself.

First of all, movie-watching users don't need to be cultivated at all.

Movies are an entertainment industry, and there is no essential difference between games and novels, so why have you never heard of cultivating game users and novel users through piracy?

But there has never been a person in their right mind who has washed the ground for piracy in these two industries.

China has always had a huge number of movie-watching users, just look at the box office of "Titanic", in 1998, 360 million, can such an achievement be said to be a lack of movie-watching users?

Piracy is not cultivating moviegoers, but diverting moviegoers.

Nowadays, most pirates go to make VCD/DVD for sale after getting the film source, and then the domestic VCD/DVD gradually disappears, and pirated films have become a kind of online resource.

People watch piracy, and in the end they develop TV and computer users, not movie users, or more precisely, TV computer users who develop the habit of watching VCD/DVD/torrent resources.

As long as a movie is released, the first thought is whether there are discs sold in the store and whether there are resources on the Internet, rather than going to the cinema to watch it.

Therefore, piracy has hardly helped the entire film industry, and has also had a great negative impact on domestic films.

The film industry, which is already lagging behind foreign countries, needs a lot of money to develop and catch up, but the existence of the piracy industry has left many filmmakers with no money to make.

If you don't make movies, you can't develop, and if you don't make movies, you still lose money, so there are fewer and fewer people who make movies, which leads to a vicious circle in the domestic film industry.

It wasn't until domestic films really started to make big profits and introduced a lot of capital that the phenomenon of piracy gradually improved, and the film industry would not throw away the real big watermelon for the sake of piracy.

At the same time, the decline of the piracy industry and the popularity of smartphones and smart TVs have also led to the cold winter of the domestic VAC/DVD industry.

Backwardness will be eliminated, and the demise of inefficient industries is a matter of time.

Back to the present, in the face of piracy, Gu Zhi has no choice but to go with the flow, praying that piracy will not have too much impact on the box office of "Butterfly Effect".

In fact, he also has a little idea, maybe he can cultivate the habit of domestic paying users, but he has to wait a few more years, and he will have a chance to realize it after he has a certain right to speak in the film and television industry.

Putting aside the unhappiness caused by this piracy incident, Gu Zhi took out the new script that had already been completed from his desk, which he wrote in the middle of the night after he sent Tang Wei home that day.

It's time to continue the ride.
