Several directors in the Hong Kong director circle saw the "My Hometown and Me" and "My Motherland and Me" series of platter movies made by several directors in the mainland. casually billions of box office.

Eye heat.

So, with Johnny To leading seven Hong Kong directors to plagiarize this approach, the whole platter movie is called "Band of Seven"...

This thing, the mainland box office, is miserable, and the box office is only hundreds of thousands on the first day.

Not only is the mainland not a blockbuster, but the box office in Hong Kong is also very bad - it didn't enter the top ten in the first week!

Not only in the first week, but also the total box office did not enter the top 10 - ranked tenth was "Late Night Dodgeball", with a box office of 3.64 million Hong Kong dollars. (I didn't find the total box office, but it's true that I didn't make it into the top 10.) ）

But these people will not think that it is their own fault, they will only blame the market and the system...

If it's really just the market, their movies should sell well in Hong Kong or Taiwan...

It's a little curious, in addition to the mainland, Hong Kong movies in the past were mainly sold to Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, and they didn't live quite well.

You can continue to shoot for these markets, why do you have to talk about things on the mainland?

Moreover, Hong Kong films have never been free, in the most glorious eighties and nineties, the main consumer markets for Hong Kong films were the Chinese-speaking regions of East Asia, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and other places, and there were all kinds of restrictions and censorship in various regions, especially the Taiwan market!

At that time, Taiwan, as the largest consumer market for Hong Kong films, not only censored the content, but also had to be politically censored behind the scenes and actors!

Anyone who has any contact or cooperation with the mainland is not wanted, Liang Xiaolong, Liang Jiahui, including Andy Lau have all been banned.

At that time, Hong Kong filmmakers did not stand up and publicly call out the Taiwan authorities, but persuaded Liang Jiahui to write a letter of repentance and ask for forgiveness...

Andy Lau also has "Black Bat Squadron".

But now...

The mainland has become the No. 1 consumer market for Hong Kong films, and if you are not prevented from making Hong Kong local films, or from cooperating with other countries' films, at most you will not be free to release them on the mainland.

Suddenly have a backbone and artistic pursuit?

This kind of person, Shen Xudong is respectful and stays away.

So, "Time Traveler", he took back the script.

Who to shoot?

This kind of pure romance film, the script is the first, and then there are handsome guys and beauties, who is the director, does it matter?

……

In late March, "No Thieves in the World" switched to BJ, and Shen Xudong also followed the crew back to the capital.

After returning to the capital, he didn't stay in the crew much.

On the one hand, the script has been perfected, on the other hand, he is really bored to stay in the crew!

Chen Guofu went to supervise the production of "Waiting Alone", and Shen Xudong had nothing to do while staying in the crew of "No Thieves in the World".

I just went back to school for a few days.

In the second semester of his junior year this year, there were very few courses in the school, and basically let the students go to the group to practice...

But there is a good thing about the Chinese drama, there are no reporters to bother him...

But it's only been a week - "The Legend of the Hunter in Xing'anling" will be released on April 1, and he has to promote it!

In fact, with "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" in front, "The Legend of the Hunter in Xing'anling" is very popular, and the trailers placed on several major video platforms have more than 10 million views!

Moreover, "The Legend of the Hunter in Xing'anling" is more complex than "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village", and the three lines intersect.

But what is the same as "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" is that each storyteller will tell the story from his own point of view, without affecting the general plot, beautify the part that involves himself, and make all vested interests justified.

】

Hidden beneath the ghost fake story is the ugly humanity...

It can both show horror and circumvent censorship!

According to estimates, the box office of "The Legend of the Hunter of Xing'anling" should not be lower than that of "The Fox Wife of the Mountain Village", and the early stage is to do a good job of anti-piracy...

It was only a week after the release of "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" that high-definition piracy appeared, and it is estimated that the pirates did not react.

This time it's different, the reputation has been punched!

The starring lineup continues "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village"...

Shen Xudong still has to attend several promotional activities.

is ready, and suddenly something happened that caught his attention and the idea of the media - Guo Jingming's plagiarism has the news of the first-instance verdict...

Why the first instance?

Because Guo Jingming expressed dissatisfaction and continued to appeal...

This has nothing to do with Shen Xudong, but... Who made them all post-80s writers!

Therefore, when the reporter asked Guo Jingming's question, Shen Xudong replied directly: "The Fadu Court has made a judgment, it must be plagiarism!" ”

"There are so many routines for writing books, let's put it this way, what can make the court judge plagiarism is basically the original word copied and changed the name to be determined, and most people think that the outline structure is plagiarism, and the court rarely finds plagiarism..."

"But Guo Jingming doesn't seem to be affected by this incident, the first printing of the new book "Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived" was 500,000 copies, and it was sold out in two months, and the magazine "Island" edited by him sold about 200,000, what do you think of this situation?"

“… Most of the literati have backbone, businessmen only have absolute interests in their eyes, in his opinion, the definition of success is only to make money, he is no longer a literati, theft is justified, and plundering glory; Small theft baht, big theft, I despise this kind of person! ”

"Aren't you afraid that someone will say that you are jealous of him?"

"What am I jealous of him? Jealous that he can only make money by plagiarizing and washing texts? Or are you jealous that even if he plagiarizes, he doesn't sell as well as me? ”

I wanted to say 'jealous that he is less than 1.6 meters tall', but I thought it was too vicious, so I couldn't help but say it...

"What does success mean in your eyes?"

"Making money is only one part of success, and a person who is full of money is definitely not a noble person! I think success includes not only making money, but also being a person and doing things. ”

……

The righteousness that Shen Xudong said was awe-inspiring...

In fact, his initial idea was just to make money!

Without a system, the most convenient way is to copy the public...

It's just that Shen Xudong copied all unpublished scripts, real bestsellers, similar to "Yi Zhong Tianpin Three Kingdoms", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and the like, he is just a publisher!

Never covet the name of the author.

From this point of view, he can be regarded as a literati with a conscience.

Although it is not much-the film and television copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was won by him for 2 million, and he signed it directly for 20 years!

Guo Jingming's matter was only a first-instance verdict, and he was very unconvinced to appeal...

It stands to reason that the three major writers of the post-80s generation can at least set off a storm, but... The media seems to be turning a blind eye to this.

Except for a few media professionals, book reviewers, editors, readers and other groups who speak out, the vast majority of the literary circle has remained silent...

There are even critics who openly say, 'What is Guo Jingming's plagiarism?' In fact, in China, there is a more serious plagiarism than it, has anyone said that they want to apologize? Aren't those university professors plagiarizing and haunting the campus in a dignified manner? This is a matter of moral self-discipline as a whole, and our personality and character are actually facing a serious challenge. ’

Convinced...

But Shen Xudong doesn't bother to care, let's wait for the final judgment next year!

First promote "The Legend of the Hunter of Xing'anling"...

He cares about this film very much - in the last "Mountain Village Fox Wife", he earned 4.8 million, and in addition, the company's revenue was 24 million!
