Chapter 47 On the question of reparations
Just like Hongdou said, from a certain point of view, the movie "East Evil and West Poison" was really successful, and since the first day of release, the controversy about this movie has begun.
Countless people spit on the Internet, saying that if Hua Yongsheng watched it, he would definitely be angry, and some people also retorted, saying that this is obviously a very in-depth movie, but they can't understand it.
On a website similar to Douban, the movie's rating is as high as 9.0, and some viewers who have really watched the movie have made long comments saying that the English name "Ashes of Time" is more suitable for this movie than the name East Evil and West Poison.
Sure enough, the film review websites in this time and space are also full of people who will die if they don't write and art, Zhang Qiuxi, who has been mixed with Douban for a long time, has found a sense of belonging, although she, the screenwriter, was scolded the most.
The reason why the artillery will focus on Zhang Qiuxi alone is mainly because at the premiere, the director said that this is the easiest movie he has made, and he didn't put any thought into it at all, just put the content of the script on the screen as it is, this is a pure screenwriting movie, not his work.
The director said this not because he was prescient and shirked his responsibility, but because the story itself was too personal in style, and if his own ideas were added during the filming, the whole story would probably be fragmented, which is probably why the filming went so fast.
Of course, this style is due to the king of sunglasses, it is said that this cow has never had a script for making movies, and it is normal for a movie to drag on for three or five years.
Although the movie caused a lot of controversy, it is a pity that these controversies did not have much effect on the growth of the box office, and the box office in the first week was more than 10 million, no matter how you look at it, it is a rhythm that cannot even recover the cost.

"It is said that Shuguang Media is Xiaoyue's father's company, does it really matter if you are so cheating on your father?" Hongdou still can't let go, and it is estimated that many Hua Yongsheng's book fans are also like this.
Zhang Qiuxi said: "Don't look at the number of people scolding now, they will be able to find out the movie after a while, and after a few years, re-edit it, and name it the ultimate version of East Evil and West Poison, maybe it will be a big hit." ”
"Where the hell did you get that confidence?" Hongdou was completely speechless, and Li Yue smiled: "Sister Hongdou, in fact, Ah Qiu told my dad before, this movie will not be successful at the box office, but it can win awards, and my dad and his company have already taken the film to participate in the Venice International Film Festival." ”
"I think it's hanging too." Hongdou glanced at Zhang Qiuxi, and Shangguan Jin said: "Okay, I'm not here to comment on the movie today, I received a notice that the Qingxi Intermediate Court will hear our case in two days." ”
Hongdou said: "This is not worth caring about, last night when CCTV news was broadcast, anyone can guess the result." ”
It is true that Zhang Qiuxi's copyright was sold cheaply and received widespread attention, but she did not expect that it would also attract the attention of the official media.
"While striving to export culture to the outside world and let people all over the world better understand our Chinese culture, we should also protect the interests of creators from damage.
Although Zhang Qiuxi's name and novel were not mentioned in the news from beginning to end, as long as an individual can hear what this means, it can also be thought that CCTV must have been instructed by the relevant departments behind this.
Shangguan Jin said: "There is indeed no suspense about winning or losing, but can I still ask for compensation, otherwise my work will be too easy, and someone will say that I don't do anything with money." ”
"Hey, I've never said that." Zhang Qiuxi protested, and then said: "It's really worth discussing if it's not enough compensation, how much money can I get in theory?" ”
"According to my research, the U.S. side has only published a collection of short stories about me, the machine qì people, and they should have a release plan for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, so it's not easy to calculate."
Shangguan Jin said: "If you take the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the price of each paperback edition in the United States is eight dollars, and now it has sold more than one million copies, which is eight million dollars if you take a whole number, and if you can get 10% of the royalties, it is 800,000 dollars." ”
"Let me take a look, according to today's exchange rate, it will be converted into RMB 4,914,400 yuan."
"I rub, I don't even know if you don't count, I actually lost more than four million on the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Zhang Qiuxi suddenly felt very distressed.
"I said earlier that there is no way to do this, so there is no need to dwell on this." Hongdou said: "One is close to five million, and the fantasy world magazine has sold a total of three copies, adding up to fifteen million, which is the rhythm of being on the Forbes writers' income list." ”
The numbers are really shocking, and Li Yue couldn't help but say: "It seems that Huaguang Publishing Group spent more than 20 million yuan to acquire Fantasy World Magazine, can Ah Qiu really get so much compensation?" ”
If she didn't have the copyright of Zhang Qiuxi's novels, if she hadn't increased the sales of the magazine, this purchase price would have to be cut in half, and it would have been very good to sell it for several million.
Shangguan Jin said: "Starting from the interests of Xiaoqiu, in fact, it is better to drag this matter on for a while, I, after the listing of the machine, the repercussions in the United States are very strong, there are sales figures to refer to the compensation we ask for is justified, and the 10% royalty is not an exaggerated number, and ordinary best-selling authors can get it." ”
Zhang Qiuxi shrugged, didn't have much hope for this, and said: "Even if this is the case, it is impossible for the court to sentence as much as we want, right?" Don't even think about delaying time, we don't count what we said. ”
"It shouldn't be too bad, I'll try my best." The lawsuit has been won, Shangguan Jin doesn't need to worry about other things, just focus on this.
"This glorious task is handed over to you, Xiaoyue and I still have to work hard for the start of school." Zhang Qiuxi once again threw all the matter to Shangguan Jin.
