Located in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong, Empire Hotel Tsim Sha Tsui is a hub for business and shopping. The hotel is well connected by rail or sea, and is within walking distance to the China Harbor Terminal. All of the hotel's 315 rooms and suites are equipped with comfortable and convenient amenities for business travellers and tourists from all over the world. More than one-third of the rooms have a beautiful view of Victoria Harbour.

The launch event of "Magic Green Jade" was held here. Many media flocked to the scene, including Apple Daily, The Sun, Ming Pao, Cheng Pao, Sing Tao Daily, TVB, ATV, Heung Kong Radio and other well-known media.

On the stage, Chen Jing stood in the center, and on his left and right were screenwriter Ma Yuan, starring Zhang Weijian, Luo Jiaying, Wu Junru, Xu Ruoxuan, Zeng Zhiwei, Huang Yishan and others.

Zhang Weijian did not accept Dong Ruifeng's invitation in the end, but became one of the protagonists of "Magic Green Jade".

Self-introduction is still an essential part of the process, even though most of the people standing on stage are familiar faces. After introducing themselves, the next step is to ask questions from the media to the main creators.

Ming Pao Cheng Han asked: "Director Chen, your works have achieved great success over the years, winning recognition from many film awards at home and abroad. It is no exaggeration to say that your current fame has become internationally resounding! Why don't you continue on the path of independent cinema and suddenly decide to make a commercial film like Magic Green Emerald? ”

Independent film, also known as independent film, is a concept that corresponds to mainstream Hollywood films.

As we all know, the development of film into a mature industry was basically completed in Hollywood, and after the large studio system, star system, genre film model, etc. gradually took shape, Hollywood's film industry has basically matured; Hollywood has become the center of the world's film industry, and its status in the United States has become synonymous with the film industry.

However, the characteristics of film can not only be measured by commerce, since the day of the birth of film, as an art form and a tool for expression of ideas, it has been continuously explored and practiced by people.

Of course, from the perspective of the entire history of film development, the Hollywood film industry has played a vital role in the promotion of films all over the world, but overkill is inevitable, and the overdevelopment of the film industry will inevitably damage the development of film art.

The concept of "independent cinema" originated in Hollywood in the middle of the last century. At that time, Hollywood was monopolized by the so-called "eight major film companies", and the operation of a film shoot followed a strict "producer system". The goal of this "producer system" is to target the market and expect maximum profits, so although this system brings a lot of money to the film industry, it also limits the space for film creators to play.

As a result, a group of filmmakers got rid of the control of the "eight major film companies", raised their own funds, and even wrote their own scripts and served as directors, making many ideological films that were completely different from commercial films, and were called "independent films".

From a technical point of view, "independent film" refers to the fact that a film is not affiliated with any film group, company (or studio) in terms of capital investment and production, and mainly relies on the producer or director himself to raise funds through various channels, even including personal funding, etc. to produce the film. Abroad it is an indicator of the degree of economic investment in a film (although independent can also have a big production), but in China it is only a simple means of making a film.

Independent films are less influenced by the funder in terms of subject matter, shooting techniques, and expressions, so they can involve some areas that are rarely covered by mainstream films, and can also better show the personal characteristics of filmmakers. However, due to financial reasons, the venue, props, actors, costumes and other aspects of independent production will often be affected.

Guan Hu's "Hair is Messy", Jia Zhangke's "Xiao Wu", "Platform", Jiang Wen's "Sunny Day", "The Devil is Coming", Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum", "Alive", "Something to Say", Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine", Zhang Yuan's "Beijing Bastard", "Crazy English", Li Yang's "Blind Well", as well as Chen Jing's "Made in Hong Kong", "Last Year's Fireworks Were Particularly Large", "Xilu Xiang", are all outstanding works in independent films.

Chen Jing is internationally known for her "independent films", but now she has made a change and made a compromise to mainstream commercial films, which has aroused the strong curiosity of media reporters, what is causing all this to happen?

Chen Jing smiled and said: "The script is the soul and basis of the movie, and a good movie script is definitely something that can be met but not sought." Luckily, I came across such a script, which was hard to come by. It is not a literary route, it is a mainstream commercial film, and it has an amazing and exquisite concept. The moment I got the script, a thought popped into my heart that I had to shoot it! After two months, everything is ready, and the film is finally in the filming stage......"

"Director Chen, we all know that you prefer to use non-professional actors in order to pursue realism, abandon commercial elements such as big scenes, computer stunts, and beautification of violence, and completely rely on real and touching stories and a strong sense of social responsibility and sincerity to impress the audience. But now you have so many stars, and there is not a single newcomer to the main cast. Why is that? Ming Bao reporter Cheng Han threw out a second question.

Chen Jing said with a smile: "According to popular standards, commercial films are films made specifically for profit, while art films are not for profit, but only for art, theory, publicity and education, etc. However, after the market economy, pure art films have lost the environment and space for survival and development, and literary films are also competing for the theater box office, and many commercial blockbusters in order to pursue a higher realm, but also enhance their commercial competitiveness, in some techniques to learn from the perspective or techniques of art films, often can also get a win-win situation at the box office and film reviews. I hope this "Magic Green Jade" will be as ...... as the latter"

Chen Jing answered a few more questions later, and then it was Ma Yuan's turn to be interviewed by reporters.

As soon as Ma Yuan took the microphone, without waiting for the reporter to ask questions, he said excitedly: "Tell you media friends a very surprising news, someone plagiarized my "Magic Green Jade", and the launch conference was also held today. I've been in the entertainment industry for so long, and I've never encountered such a shameless thing! ”

What the? There was an uproar at the scene. The media reporters are excited, this is big news, enough to make the headlines of major newspapers! It's as if they've seen a big prize money fall on their heads.

TVB reporter Zhou Fangfang hurriedly asked: "Director Chen, is this news true?" ”

Chen Jing frowned slightly, and quickly stretched out again. He didn't expect this Ma Yuan to be so breathless. As soon as the media reporter asked questions about the main creators, Ma Yuan threw out such explosive news, where did these media reporters still have the heart to interview these actors?

He nodded and said calmly, "I just got the news yesterday, and it surprised me very much. But this also proves from the side that "Magic Green Jade" is a very good script, otherwise it would not be coveted. We have strongly condemned the other party and asked them to stop filming the plagiarized work! ”

Zhou Fangfang asked again: "Director Chen, can you reveal the specific information of the other party?" ”

"That's not good, is it?" Chen Jing frowned and said, "The so-called being a man and leaving a line, we will see each other in the future." They are all people in the circle, and they don't see anyone who looks up and looks down. And I'm sure most of them should have been kept in the dark as well......"

"Screenwriter Ma, can you reveal it?" The media reporter shifted direction and asked Ma Yuan.

Ma Yuan is not like Chen Jing, from the time he made that decision, he already knew that he had no way out. What he has to do now is to win this difficult battle and gain the qualifications to continue to survive in the entertainment industry!

He said in a deep voice: "If you say it, you may not believe it, but the person who plagiarized my movie script turned out to be a middle school student!" He transformed my "Magic Green Jade" into "Crazy Stone", signed his own name, and then handed it over to two young directors to shoot. This shameless middle school student is Chen Yuan, who has recently become famous! ”

The media reporters suddenly boiled, and the name Chen Yuan was familiar to everyone. The author of the best-selling novel "The Demon", an unprecedented 25% royalty remuneration, the public enemy of many well-known authors! Such a juvenile writer would plagiarize Ma Yuan's script?

At the Hilton Hotel in Yuzhong District, Chongqing, the media reporters here are also boiling. Is Crazy Stone really plagiarized? All the media reporters kept an eye on Chen Yuan, paying attention to his every move.

Chen Yuan smiled faintly, took the microphone, and explained to the media reporters present: "This should be the so-called wicked person sue first." How could "Crazy Stone" be considered plagiarism? This seems ridiculous to me. You may not know that as early as the eleventh month of the lunar calendar last year, I had already completed this work, and then delivered it to several film and television production companies through the Internet. Unfortunately, it only ended up with an offer of 8,000 yuan. Later, I took it to Kyoto and delivered it to major film and television companies in Kyoto, as well as many well-known directors. The studios and directors should be able to testify for me! ”

"Mr. Chen means that the other party plagiarized your work?" Zhou Huixin asked.

"Obviously," Chen Yuan said calmly, "the Ma Yuan that Reporter Zhou just mentioned is probably the one who offered me 8,000 yuan." For this insidious villain, I am very hateful and shameless. So I decided to take the matter to court and let the law give me justice! ”
