Chapter 137: The World Is Full of Pirated Disks
Geng Nan has been very busy lately, and as a pirate, he has to run around when there is a blockbuster movie released, and for their industry, whoever can grasp the resources first will get the greatest benefits.
It's just that the current piracy industry is not easy to do, which is different from ripping saliva songs and setting up stalls on the street many years ago, at that time, singers' albums, Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, and foreign blockbusters could make money, but as soon as he entered the Internet era, Geng Nan's business began to plummet, he found that the Internet was spreading too fast, and the popularity of the Internet directly caused the entire music industry to fall into a downturn, and no one on the street bought pirated albums, and even movie pirated discs could only be sold by cheating.
The Internet is a problem for Geng Nan, he doesn't even know what those people who put songs and movies on the Internet are trying to do, isn't it good to burn movies and songs into CDs and send them out to sell for money?
Under the squeeze of the Internet, the living space of the traders who sell pirated disks is getting smaller and smaller, games can be downloaded, movies can be downloaded, songs can be downloaded, and everything that can be downloaded has forced them to the point where they can only go to the cinema to secretly record the latest movies to make money, otherwise they will not be able to mix in this industry.
The release of "The City Full of Golden Armor" and "The Grandmaster" is a good opportunity to make money, and for this opportunity, Geng Nan even had the idea of going to the printing factory to steal copies......
"Old Geng."
In a small two-bedroom apartment in Xicheng District, Beijing, Geng Nan was sitting on the sofa smoking, and all he was thinking about was how to get out the copies of "The City Full of Golden Armor" and "The Grandmaster", and at this time, the daughter-in-law who had been addicted to the Internet shouted to herself.
"What are you doing!"
Geng Nan turned around and said angrily. His daughter-in-law not only doesn't go to work, but also spends money at home every day, and the little money she earns from running her life and death is donated to Taobao by the losers. The two husbands and wives don't know how many times they quarreled about this, and even the table calendar wrote the general 'chop hands on Taobao', but after the quarrel, Taobao should be Taobao and Taobao, and no one remembered whether they chopped their hands or not.
"Lao Geng, come quickly, this is serious business!"
Geng Nan listened to his daughter-in-law's voice, which was wrong. When I walked into the next room, I saw my daughter-in-law staring at the screen excitedly.
"Old Geng, come and see. Someone posted a clear version of "The City Full of Golden Armor" on the Internet. ”
Geng Nan heard his daughter-in-law's excited voice and quickly took a look on the Internet, and after reading this, the corners of his mouth twitched, he didn't believe what was uploaded on the screen at all: "." This is something I didn't even have my hands on. Are they willing to upload it online for you to download for free? Hurry up and stop.,This must be a virus.,You have to reinstall the machine after downloading.。 ”
"Lao Geng, I've read all the message areas below, and there's not a single scolding street, I don't think that's the case, and it's 90% downloaded besides, and it'll be over later. Or ......"
Bite.
When a crunch sounds, the download bar is full. Lao Geng really wants to gamble once, the big deal is to reinstall the machine qì: "I sue you, if it's a virus, don't say I didn't remind you, when the time comes, I won't have time to move this thing for you." But he was still hard-mouthed, and he showed his foresight in front of his daughter-in-law.
Geng Nan's daughter-in-law finished decompressing the text jiàn bag, when she clicked on the text jiàn, the opening of "The City Full of Golden Armor" appeared, Geng Nan has not been moved until now, pretending to have a clear title is a means that those of them who sell pirated disks know, unclear pirated movies all rely on this film to bluff people, in fact, most of the trailers after this film.
But when the beginning passed, when Geng Nan saw the high-definition movie, he grabbed his daughter-in-law's arm and shouted excitedly: "Get up!" ”
This is really a clear version, not only a clear version, but even the soundtrack is not cinema mode, it is DVD mode!
"Rich, this time!" Geng Nandu felt that the person who spread this pirated copy to the Internet was a bit lacking in heart, how much money would he make if he burned it into a pirated disk and issued it first?
After Geng Nan waited for his daughter-in-law to stand up, he sat on the chair, took out the phone from his pocket and began to dial: "Hey? I, Lao Geng, hurry up and get ready to work, sue the people who sell pirated plates in Dongcheng and Nancheng, and say that we have a clear version of "The City is Full of Golden Armor" in our hands! ”
……
Yikes!
Zhang Wan parked his car in front of a shopping mall in Dongcheng District, got out of the car, and ran to the person selling pirated disks.
He has been in the city for two days, and now "The City Full of Golden Armor" has been uploaded to the Internet for two days, but there seems to be no news on the street.
"Dude, do you want a plate?" A man in a long down jacket stood on the side of the street and asked Zhang Wan, who had just stepped out of the car.
Zhang Wan asked, "Is there a new film?" ”
"Yes~~" The one who sold the pirated disc looked like 'I understand', took out the things at the bottom of the box from his bag and said: "You said that you want the golden silk cat big white ass of the 'woodpecker' or the love action movie of the island country, buddy, I won't tell you, even if you want a black man, I can find it for you, but don't watch it at night, if you turn off the lights, you can't find anyone on the screen, you can't rely on the quality of our plate." ”
The one who sells pirated disks is quite funny, and he is from Beijing when he listens to the accent, otherwise he can't be so poor: "I misunderstood, so I'll ask if there are any new movies." ”
"Oh." The young man who sold pirated plates found the steps for himself and said: "It's all gentlemen, there's nothing embarrassing to watch some films...... Well......" The young man rummaged in his bag for a long time and said: "Is it okay to "The City is Full of Golden Armor"? The hottest one sold recently, the last one, I plan to keep it for myself at night, absolutely clear, I sell it with this every day, if there is a little unclear, you come to me, fake one to pay ten. ”
A person who sells pirated disks actually said that he would pay ten for a fake one, which is quite unsure of what to take: "I want it." ”
The pirated disc seller grinned, "Hehe, I'm sorry, fifteen." ”
"Don't be too expensive, I tell you, except for those of us who sell pirated copies, you can inquire about the major video stores, and there is no one. This movie hasn't been released yet, and you can't watch the original version if you want to. ”
"Alright, stop talking nonsense." Zhang Wan couldn't wait to take the plate, threw down the money and turned around to leave.
After returning home, Zhang Wan directly turned on the TV and DVD, and when a clear video image appeared on the screen, he was finally relieved that the plague was completely dispersed.
……
In the office of the chairman of the heart picture company, Zhang Weiping still doesn't know what is happening in the market, and people of his status almost don't care about the small traders and vendors in the market, even if they want to crack down on piracy, they are just taking money.
"Boss!"
The moment the secretary pushed open the door, Zhang Weiping's face sank, this little secretary is usually quite safe, but today I don't know what's going on, he was in a hurry: "There are no rules." ”
"Mr. Zhang, you can wait and scold me first." The little secretary hurriedly sent the paper packaging in his hand to Zhang Weiping's desktop: "Mr. Zhang, I went out to eat at noon today, and there was a pirated version of "The City Full of Golden Armor" at the door of the shopping mall next to our company, and it was said to be a clear version!" ”
Zhang Weiping's face was full of disdain, and he said with a sneer: "It hasn't been long since I graduated, right? ”
"Can the people who sell pirated copies still be trusted? Once a blockbuster movie is released, they will always come up with some other plates to sell under the guise of a blockbuster, and I bet you that this is either "Hero" or "Ambush on All Sides". ”
Zhang Weiping unpacked the package, took out the pirated disc from a small plastic bag and put it into the computer CD-ROM drive, and when he heard the sound of the disc turning, the smile on his face did not change at all.
Only he and Zhang Yimou know that the original copy of "The City Full of Golden Armor" is still locked in the safe of their home, and the editors in the editing room and Zhang Yimou who have seen this movie in this world are the editors in the editing room and Zhang Yimou, in addition, even the people in the printing factory have not seen it, how can such a tight defense make a clear version of the movie pirated disc appear on the market?
"No...... No way! ”
When the clear picture appeared, the smile on Zhang Weiping's face distorted, he watched the magnificent scenery in the palace appear in front of him, and watched the palace maids in low-cut clothes respectfully shuttling through the palace one by one, this is the plot of "The City is Full of Golden Armor", but ......
Scold.
After Zhang Weiping got up and took out the pirated disk in the computer, he grabbed the car keys and went downstairs, he had to go home to see.
Now Zhang Weiping thinks that there is only one possibility for this matter, that is, his home has been stolen, otherwise how could the copy in the safe appear?
Driving, regardless of whether he was speeding or not, he galloped all the way back to his villa, Zhang Weiping's car didn't turn off, just pulled the handbrake and rushed into the villa.
In the study, Zhang Weiping skillfully opened the safe, took out the copy and connected it to the computer, and after clicking play, he was completely stupid.
The genuine copies at home have not been lost, but the pirated disks have flooded the entire market!
As the leader of the heart picture, he must now make a choice, immediately adjust the schedule, so that "The City Full of Golden Armor" will be released quickly, and how much box office he can get back can only depend on God's face, otherwise, the loss will be 360 million of all the investment.
"Hey, I'm Zhang Weiping, can you quickly help us attract 400 copies out? Yes, we have to adjust the release schedule ......"
"What? Only two hundred sets to wash? Why? Didn't you say yes before......"
"Who sent the message? The third master? ”
Touch.
Zhang Weiping's chest felt like he had been smashed with a fist, and these two hundred copies were enough to cover the key theaters in the three major cities of Beijing, Huangpu and Guangdong......
"It's over, this time, it's completely over."
Zhang Weiping leaned back on the chair in front of the desk with a vacant gaze......
He lost, not only lost, but also lost!
I can't even figure out how to lose!! (To be continued......)
