Chapter 794: Investigation
"Lao Wen, you are responsible for the distribution, you can talk about the situation first."
In the small conference room of Tianzheng, the main leaders of the company and the person in charge of the distribution of "Myth" sat together and began to discuss countermeasures for this leak.
Manager Wen of the distribution department coughed dryly, and said with an ugly face: "Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, I just received the news, I checked it as soon as possible, and it can be preliminarily concluded that the leaked version did not flow out of our company, the master version of "Myth" and the remaining thirty-two copies are all locked in the company's vault, according to the electronic security records, there is no abnormal opening of the fresh-keeping warehouse, so this leak should be caused by the theater chain......
"Then go check and see if the copy of that theater is missing, you have to find out for me!" Liu Xinyu rarely showed a stern image and said angrily.
"Mr. Liu, I have sent a notice to all theaters, asking them to report the security of the copy, and I am waiting for the next response......," Lao Wen said.
Liu Xinyu nodded, then turned to another person and said, "Lao Yan, what is your situation?" ”
Manager Yan of the public relations department said: "After receiving the news, I reported to the public as soon as possible. Abe, Text. The leaders of the Ministry of Chemical Industry and the General Administration of the People's Republic of China have attached great importance to this situation, and they should be studying it now, and I believe that they will soon give their opinions on how to deal with it......"
"Hmph, I heard their daylilies are cold!" Liu Xinyu said without any scruples.
Lao Yan grinned embarrassedly, saying that Mr. Liu is usually very particular about speaking, why is he so straightforward this time? Even if everyone knows that there are serious problems with the efficiency of those departments, as an insider, it is just a matter of slander, where can I say it directly.
"Xiaotian, it's better for you to come forward and say it." Liu Xinyu turned his head and said to Wu Tian next to him.
That's it in private. After all, many senior leaders of Tianzheng Company are there at this moment, and Wu Tianshao has to give Liu Xinyu some face, so he only sits under Liu Xinyu as the director of this film. Hearing Liu Xinyu speak at this moment, Wu Tian nodded, which can be regarded as a promise.
Regarding Mr. Liu's request for help from Wu Tian, the company's senior executives couldn't help but be a little surprised. Although everyone knows that Director Wu is not just a director who cooperates with the company, he just sold his entertainment company to Tianzheng not long ago, and with the overseas box office of "Myth" making a lot of money, the price of Tianying Entertainment is not low. But even if this Director Wu is quite valuable and a big name in the entertainment industry, where can the leading Tianzheng boss ask him for help? Does this guy have any other background?
However, this is not the time to explore this issue, the most important thing is to quickly carry out investigation and trace, and quickly find the source of piracy......
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
"Mr. Liu, there is one more question. Just before the meeting......, a media reporter called to ask about the piracy of "Myth", "Manager Yan added, "The leaders of the General Administration have specially told them to block the news before they discuss the handling plan......
"Blockade? Why blockade! ”
Before Liu Xinyu could answer, Wu Tian frowned and shouted, "If there is a problem, don't say find a way to solve it, you always want to cover the lid at the first time, a group of officials. Companion. Hum! ”
Lao Yan was speechless with his mouth open, there are really a lot of angry people today. This one is more popular than Mr. Liu.
"Hehe, Director Wu, don't get angry first, I think it's right to do this." Liu Xiaoqing glanced at Liu Xinyu, who was embarrassed, and said with a smile, "The news is blocked from above." In fact, there are at least two benefits, first, to avoid startling the snakes, so that those pirate dealers are careless, and it will be easier for us to catch them. That's not to say. The most important thing is the second point, do you think, if it is reported that there is a high-definition pirated version of "Myth", wouldn't that be equivalent to telling the audience not to buy tickets, and to buy a pirated copy on the street? If it is not reported, although piracy will have an impact, after all, there will be some viewers who don't know about this situation and continue to go to the cinema to buy tickets, right? It's a little bit to reduce the loss......"
Wu Tian looked at Liu Xiaoqing, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Okay, just give them some face, and don't report it for the time being." However, this matter must be reported afterwards, so that everyone knows how rampant piracy is, and how serious the consequences will be if it is not cracked down! And to show those pirates how serious the consequences of doing such a thing are! ”
"Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, we completely agree!" Liu Xiaoqing said with a smile.
"Heavenly ...... Mr. Liu," the door of the conference room was knocked on while speaking, but it was Bao Yunchun who hurriedly came in, said hello slightly, and said, "I just contacted the theaters around MGM and asked them to go to the local area to investigate......
As soon as this news came out, everyone was in an uproar, and there is no doubt that this speed is too unexpected.
You must know that the production of pirated CDs also takes time, from a copy of the movie, to the transcription and compression of the production of the master disc of the CD, and then reproduce, it is not a simple matter, even if the current domestic "piracy industry" is quite developed, to complete these steps, it will take at least a day, and then distribute the CD to various places, not to mention, the capital and Yangcheng are separated by 2,000 kilometers, and it takes several hours to fly to it by plane!
But it was released at midnight last year, and pirated copies have spread all over the country this morning. That's speed!
Of course, the copy of the film was actually distributed two days ago, and it was ensured to reach the theater as late as yesterday, which means that the pirate had already started to act as soon as the copy was delivered to the theater?
Even so, so soon the national market became widespread. The efficiency of these guys is amazing enough, and it can even be concluded that this is not just the action of a group of people, but even the joint action of several gangs!
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
"This is definitely the craziest piracy case of all time!" Lu Jianming listened to Wu Tian's account over the phone, and said indignantly, "Xiaotian, I will immediately set up a special team to investigate this case, and I will definitely bring these guys to justice!" ”
"Uncle Lu. I'm sorry for you. Wu Tian said, "But at present, the General Administration and Culture. There is no movement on the part of the ministry, is it waiting for them to form a task force together? ”
To trace the source of the leak, we must first verify all copies of the film. The Ministry of Chemistry is more important in this regard than the Ministry of Chemistry. It would be much easier for Abe to come forward.
"I'm in contact with them, time is critical, and I can't delay!" Lu Jianming hung up the phone as he said and began to arrange.
Wu Tian leaned back on the sofa. A look of discouragement.
"Xiaotian, will there be anything else strange about this matter?"
Just heard the news. Bai Yaping, who rushed over to see if there was anything he could help, asked in a low voice.
"Strange?" Wu Tian also frowned.
"Although "Myth" is in the limelight, piracy can definitely make money, but it is precisely because "Myth" is in the limelight that ordinary pirates are afraid that they dare not pay attention to it at all." Bai Yaping said, "You must know that there was a case of missing copies just last year, and the theater went up and down. The pirate dealers have even served the pot, and more than a dozen of them have been sentenced, who would dare to stretch out their hands indiscriminately in this case? ”
Wu Tian frowned, thinking about the possibility that Bai Yaping said.
Although the domestic piracy situation is severe, in the past two years, in order to prosper the domestic film market. Various departments have indeed made some efforts, especially for films released during the release period, the protection has been greatly improved, and as for the pirated discs or online downloads after the offline line, they do not care much.
In this case, the average pirate dealer will have a gun version or something, which is safe and risk-free, and wait until the film is offline to pirate, then no one cares.
But this time, the other party actually committed a crime against the wind, and his hand is so big, it is simply eye-catching.
Unless the other party values more than just money!
So what exactly is the purpose of the other party?
The biggest possibility that Wu Tian could think of was to target his own anti-piracy alliance, and this was to slap himself in the face with Chi Guoguo - aren't you clamoring very much? Isn't it about fighting piracy? You can't protect your own things, who else can you fight?
Wu Tianzheng was about to say this speculation and analyze it with Bai Yaping, but Liu Xinyu hurriedly came back from the conference room - the General Administration and Culture. There's finally news from the ministry......
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** *************
The attitude given by the higher authorities is naturally to seriously and quickly investigate this case, and they have already decided to make peace with the public. The Ministry of Security has set up a joint investigation team to conduct an in-depth investigation into the case, and all those involved in the case must be arrested and brought to justice.
However, the higher-level leaders also gave several handling principles, and sure enough, the first one was to block the news and not make the matter public in the media.
Although Wu Tian scoffed at this, for the sake of his own box office, he could only temporarily accept those requirements, ready to wait for the piracy case to be investigated, and then find a way to hype up this matter after the film was offline.
Although the higher-level departments held meetings and studied for a long time, after the decision was issued, the efficiency of the Chinese system was reflected.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, pirated copies were discovered, and at 10 o'clock Tianzheng reported the situation, and at 11:30 o'clock the investigation decision was reached, and then at 12 o'clock the task force was established, and quickly rushed to Tianzheng Film and Television, borrowed a large conference room, and began to officially launch the investigation.
The investigation team was first divided into two teams, one team confirmed the copy security situation to all the cinema lines that released "Myth" through the system, while the other team directly investigated the inside of Tianzheng Film and Television!
Although this behavior is easy to resist, Wu Tian, Liu Xinyu, and Liu Xiaoqing did not express any dissatisfaction, because before such a serious problem, it is indeed necessary for the investigation team to review Tianzheng's internal affairs!
Fortunately, after a few hours of review, the investigation team did not find any suspicion of leakage, and under the company's strict confidentiality and security system, no one had the opportunity to steal the master and spare copies out of the company!
At this time, it happened that the investigation of the other team had not yet been completed, and everyone was waiting anxiously, but Tianzheng Film and Television suddenly found a clue - an employee of the company found a forum on the Internet where someone posted that a local theater posted a poster of "Myth", but it was not screened...... (To be continued......)
