"It's confirmed, the movie shot by Director Xu is dedicated to copycat porcelain, and the name has been inquired, it is called "Atlantic Rim".

In Warner's conference room, the vice president informed Benjamin, the director of "Pacific Rim," of the news he had just heard.

There is no news in the entertainment industry that can really be hidden, especially if you have the heart to inquire.

Warner is one of the most popular film and television companies in the industry, and its energy is amazing, after knowing the news that Xu Nan wants to touch porcelain in a copycat, he quickly learned about Xu Nan's movie information and the name of the movie through special channels.

"Pacific Rim", "Atlantic Rim", this sound is deliberately touching porcelain.

Benjamin felt that his teeth were very sore, and before the movie was released, he knew in advance that someone had touched porcelain, which was extremely unpleasant.

This is equivalent to you finally talking about a peerless beauty as a girlfriend, but suddenly you know that when a person does things, he likes to let his woman cos become your girlfriend, the key is that he still says it openly, not ashamed but proud.

How can there be such a shameless director?

"Can you find a way to stop this movie from coming out?" Benjamin asked.

He really doesn't want to see "Atlantic Rim" released, which will definitely steal part of the box office that belongs to "Atlantic Rim".

Theoretically speaking, the difference between the names of the Atlantic Rim and the Pacific Rim is a bit big, and normal people can easily distinguish it, but most of the Mi viewers really don't have any brains, and they can't even find the Mi country on the map.

The key is very disgusting, I worked hard to make a wonderful big production, but it only took a few days for people to copy a similar one, and it was taken out openly to make money, which is very funny.

"Unlikely." The vice president of Warner shook his head: "The other party's procedures are very complete, and it is impossible for us to prevent them from releasing the film, at most, we can limit the other party's film schedule and the number of theaters released through years of operation." ”

"Judging from the current situation, Emperor Cinemas will definitely release this movie, it is nothing more than a question of how many films are scheduled."

"Of course, I can guarantee that the schedule of "Pacific Rim" will not be affected too much, this is our big production at Warner, as long as the theater side is not stupid, it is impossible to give too low a film schedule, they need this film to attract audiences, including Emperor Cinemas."

Although Warner is a big company in the entertainment industry, it is unlikely that a movie will not be released, and if it can really be done, it is almost equivalent to the uncrowned king of the entertainment industry.

Clearly, Warner didn't get to that point.

And even if the three major theaters don't let "Atlantic Rim" be released, it's useless, there are still many small and medium-sized theaters in the United States, and they will still release this movie.

If you really can't have a theater line, there are also online streaming media platforms, and videotapes, but you can't be a self-media and put it on YouTube, you can't stop it at all.

"Then it's okay to sue them for plagiarism." Benjamin asked again.

"It's useless." The vice president of Warner shook his head, "I specially consulted the company's legal department, and the company's lawyer told me that legally, to see whether a movie is plagiarized, mainly look at the camera, and only 30% similar can be judged for plagiarism." ”

"In other words, even if the content of the other party is similar to ours, as long as the lens is different, it cannot be said to be plagiarism."

"And according to the information I inquired, the content of the other party is not the same as ours, so there is no way to stop them by suing, if the name is similar, at most it will be a judgment to change the name, and it will take a long time, and it may not be successful."

The vice president of Warner used a long language to euphemistically tell the fact that he was powerless.

Benjamin's expression was ugly.

How can there be such a thing, knowing that others touch porcelain, you can't do anything about him.

This director is really disgusting.

"Hey, Director Benjamin, if you want to open a little, no one can do this kind of thing." The vice president of Warner persuaded: "This is like the gossip tabloid media in the entertainment industry, no one can stop them from making up news randomly." ”

There are a lot of gossip tabloids in the entertainment industry in the United States, and they like to attract the audience with various sensational headlines, and many times they tend to spread rumors openly.

But few celebrities will pay attention to these gossip tabloids, because these gossip tabloids are not afraid to wear shoes barefoot, and they target them, but instead increase their popularity.

The best thing to do is to ignore these bottomless gossip tabloids and let them fend for themselves.

Benjamin has been debuting for so long, of course, he has encountered news that gossip tabloids spread rumors about him, but he has never bothered.

But this time is different, this time is really different, knowing that it doesn't matter if someone touches porcelain, the breath in my heart is really unbearable.

"Maybe there's nothing we can do about him, but we can't just leave it at that." Benjamin gritted his teeth and said, "At least the adverse effects should be minimized." ”

"What do you want to do?" Warner's vice president asked, "I have to remind you that anything you do with this film is tantamount to adding heat to the other side." ”

The copycat porcelain movie is so against the sky, you know that the other party is touching porcelain, and everyone knows that he is touching porcelain, but there is nothing you can do about him.

It's like a scoundrel, sticking to it disgusts you, the more you deal with the other party, the more energetic the other party becomes.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to add heat to the other party." Benjamin said in a deep voice: "Since the last time I watched the film, I have specially studied the director Xu Nan, as well as his last movie "The Hobbit Era". ”

"I have to say, that movie is very bad, very, very bad, the service is rubbish, the actors are rubbish, and the plot is even more rubbish, but he just made money."

"And the biggest reason why movies make money is that the audience can't tell the difference between the two movies, "The Hobbit" and "The Hobbit Era."

"The movie "The Hobbit" is very exciting, which caused many viewers to watch it, but they didn't distinguish the difference between the two movies, and bought tickets to watch the copycat film "The Hobbit Era", which led to the movie making money."

"Even this shameless Chinese director specially bought a water army to mislead netizens on the Internet, and even the producer of "The Hobbit" didn't figure out the reason in the early stage, which is the main reason for his success."

Speaking of this, Benjamin looked confident.

"Therefore, if you want to deal with this director from China, the best way is to let the audience know that "Atlantic Rim" and "Pacific Rim" have nothing to do with each other."

"What do you want to do?" Warner's vice president asked.

"It's very simple, it is to remind the audience not to mistake the movie, so that when the audience watches the movie, they will pay attention to distinguishing what movie they are watching, and there is no way for the copycat movie "Atlantic Rim" to steal our box office."

"This may not prevent the release of the movie "Atlantic Rim", but at least it will prevent the other party from stealing the box office that should belong to us."

Benjamin said.

"Okay." The vice president of Warner nodded, "I will arrange for someone from the public relations department to do it, but you don't take this movie too seriously, this is just an ordinary copycat film, don't let this movie affect the promotion of "Pacific Rim". ”

The movie "Pacific Rim" is about to be released, and Benjamin's focus is on the promotion of the film.

The success of this film is crucial to his career, and he must go all out.

As for the copycat porcelain piece of "Atlantic Rim", it is simply a bit disgusting, as long as you don't care about it, it actually has no impact at all.

Benjamin didn't want to swallow this breath, and he didn't want Xu Nan, a bastard, to take advantage of "Pacific Rim".

But he also has to distinguish priorities, and the publicity of "Pacific Rim" is the next focus

In a theater, an in-house viewing party is taking place.

This viewing party was organized by Xu Nan and invited representatives of large and small theaters in the United States to participate.

When filming the first movie "The Hobbit Era", Xu Nan was just a nobody, and he needed to take the movie family to visit the theaters.

But now that he finally has some contacts and foundation in the United States, he can invite all the representatives of the theater chain to come over and organize a viewing party.

Lin Ziyi is very face-saving, even though she is very busy with work, she still personally participated in this film viewing to support Xu Nan.

Unlike the other two major theater chains, at most a manager was sent over, compared with the last viewing party organized by Warner, the difference in personnel level is very large.

There are no secrets in the entertainment industry, the news that Xu Nan's movie is a copycat touching porcelain has long been spread in the circle, and the theater chain is not a fool, so it is impossible to bet heavily on this movie.

The cinema chain wants a blockbuster, a blockbuster that can make the audience linger, never forget, and take the initiative to enter the theater.

For example, Xu Nan's evil and sneaky copycat porcelain pieces can be used to enrich the diversity of movies and attract some aesthetically curious audiences, with or without it, there is actually not much difference for the theater chain, so don't expect them to pay much attention to this movie.

But even so, Xu Nan still tried his best to respect these theater representatives, no matter whether people will let the movie go to theaters or not, at least this attitude must be in place, and the film cannot be adversely affected by factors outside the movie.

After the theater representatives came, Xu Nan did not delay and played the feature film directly on the screen.

The film "Atlantic Rim" began to be screened.
