Chapter 825 What is the Isle of Man most famous for? !
"Plagiarism?"
What Liu Qianqian didn't expect was that when "Black Swan" started to be screened in China.
The topic generated by another movie suddenly jumped to the Internet.
"Let the Bullets Fly", which has received a lot of attention in terms of word-of-mouth, box office results, and attention, was suddenly associated with "plagiarism."
You can imagine how popular this topic is.
Yes, "Let the Bullets Fly" was accused of plagiarism.
In fact, just a few days after the movie was released, such a topic appeared on the Internet.
Some film critics pointed out that the concept of the train sequence at the beginning of "Let the Bullets Fly" is very similar to the concept of the 11-minute "The Great Train Robbery" from 1903, which caused many people to of attention.
But this time, what the media and netizens are most keen to discuss is its poster.
The graphic design language and creativity of the three posters of "Let the Bullets Fly" are very similar to "Prison Break", "The Departed" and "The Prestige".
There are pictures and the truth.
After looking at the comparison of several posters, many netizens have already shouted, "You know the posters are so strikingly similar."
Of course, there are many people who dismiss this topic.
Having said this means not saying it yet.
Poster plagiarism is not just a matter of a movie like "Let the Bullets Fly."
It’s just that it’s so popular.
There are many popular people.
But compared to the calm, tolerant, helpless and mocking reactions of netizens, Jiang Wen, the main creator of the film, did not take this matter to heart at all.
The poster was outsourced this time.
Now that something like this has happened, it seems that he has found a pig teammate.
Find someone to make general posters again?
Isn’t that a slap in the face?
In fact, in "The Sun Also Rises", he faced the 'plagiarism scandal'.
In his opinion, the best thing to do is to ignore it.
It's a pity that he forgot that in a few years, the rapid development of the Internet has long been different from the environment of "The Sun Also Rises" back then.
Just after a film review titled "Jiang Wen's Master Leone" appeared on Douban.
Station B also reviewed and approved a video of more than 15 minutes produced by a netizen called "The Origin of Bullets".
This short film doesn’t say much.
Just to compare Leone's film with the clips from "Let the Bullets Fly".
Even before the screening of "Black Swan" has ended, it has already reached the top of the popular list on station B.
Discussions, likes, dislikes, and comments
Although Douban, which is mainly about text, has brought together many fans, the dissemination and influence of videos on the public are not as good as those of text-based Douban. , that’s really not enough.
After all, this type of video would later be called electronic pickle.
“Jiang Wen, look at this video.”
"Fart!"
A moment later.
Jiang Wen almost smashed the coffee table into pieces.
Am I copying Leone?
Why don’t you say that Leone copied Akira Kurosawa? This is a famous case in the history of film!
"I heard that this station B is..." Zhou Yun glanced at the coffee table distressedly.
Who is the boss behind Station B? This is no secret in the Chinese entertainment industry.
After the three companies, Enlight, Bona, and Hermès Film Investment Company, came together, they recently came up with a plan to sell movie tickets in advance, which also attracted a lot of attention in the industry.
The sales of "Black Swan" still have to compete with "Let the Bullets Fly" for screenings.
Is this hot video intentional?
Who can guarantee it?
Han Sanping swears to no avail.
“I shouldn’t have offended him in the first place.” Jiang Wenyi said pointedly, and he was naturally referring to Xiang Yang.
"How about we ask someone to ask?" Zhou Yun quickly struck while the iron was hot.
If you want to say whether such a video has any impact on the movie being released, of course it does.
Reputation is very important.
If this video is allowed to ferment completely and combined with other bad reports, it will be equivalent to killing the box office potential of "Let the Bullets Fly".
"It shouldn't be his." After Jiang Wen calmed down for a while, he shook his head again.
He has not forgotten what happened on the day of the premiere.
“No one can protect everything in business. In case, we also think of ways to deal with it.”
Zhou Yun didn't say much, just used a simple sentence to persuade Jiang Wen.
Yes, movies are still a business after all.
If you schedule more games, he will schedule fewer games.
Can the producers behind several other movies that are being prepared for release ensure that they are not jealous after seeing the cash-grabbing box office results of "Let the Bullets Fly"?
"Let me call Han Sanping first." Jiang Wen picked up the mobile phone on the table.
"Han Sanping is looking for me?" Sitting on his desk, Xiang Yang frowned at the falling documents.
The Isle of Man is the private property of the Queen of England.
It is also a tax haven.
But the most famous one is the Isle of Man TT.
Well, it’s the famous motorcycle race with the soul chasing after him.
In addition to motorcycle manufacturers, RedBull, which co-funds several sports projects with HYS, is also sponsoring this event.
So.
Xiangyang, who has not yet bought the castle, is already considering whether to let HYS become one of the sponsors of this event.
You can also become their official broadcast partner.
Xiang Yang took the phone, "Why is he looking for me?"
"I didn't ask in detail." Liu Qianqian responded with brisk steps.
Han Sanping's phone number could not be reached on Xiangyang's mobile phone. Usually Bea Shaffer would answer the call and then report the situation.
In order to contact Xiang Yang in time, he would naturally find a middleman. No one is more suitable than Liu Qianqian.
"Okay, I understand, I'll call him back right away." Xiang Yang looked a little solemn.
Han Sanping is willing to ask his wife for help, so it must be something important.
However, after the call was dialed, it took him a few minutes to understand what was going on.
Is this important?
Can't you just ask Wang Changtian and Yu Dong?
As for wasting phone bills?
"Let me take a look, Mr. Han." Although he was a little unconcerned, Xiang Yang was also curious.
What kind of video is it that makes the arrogant Jiang Wen pay so much attention to it?
After clicking it and taking a look twice
“Didn’t Leone copy Akira Kurosawa?” Xiang Yang couldn’t help but be surprised, why didn’t this UP on station B mention this?
Leone's "The Red Dead" copied Akira Kurosawa's "Yojimbo", and "Yojimbo" copied Dashiell Hammett's "The Glass Key."
Well, except for plagiarism.
"Yojimbo" also borrowed from John Ford's supporting character design.
This was a final conclusion back then.
Besides, it was not that Leone refused to give money. He asked Kurosawa for authorization before filming.
It’s just that the filmmakers were stingy and were reluctant to give it to them after filming was over.
In the end, the movie became a hit and the lawsuit went to court.
But after this farce ended, neon samurai films and American western films began to adapt each other's films in various ways.
There are so many movies involved here.
Not one of the well-known movies such as "Seven Samurai" and "Unforgiven" was spared.
"." Han Sanping on the other side of the phone was stunned.
These words seemed familiar, as if I had heard them from someone just now.
"Mr. Han, I will ask Station B to check it. Is there anything else?" Xiangyang turned off the video, but was not interested in asking Station B to delete the video.
On station B, there are many videos of him and Liu Qianqian.
Where is Jiang Wen’s talent?
Don’t worry, the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" will be praised to the sky on Bilibili from now on.
Don't be so glass-hearted.
"Mr. Xiang, you misunderstood me." Han Sanping explained: "The main reason I called you in such a hurry was for another matter."
Xiang Yang "Huh?" "Sounded.
"Poster." Han Sanping cleared his throat.
‘Poster plagiarism’ is a topic that has aroused heated discussions among netizens, although it is not popular with Yangma.
But the Sixth Princess has already passed the message.
We should make a relevant report in "Chinese Film Report" around this topic.
No way, with the booming development of China's film industry, discussions about 'appropriationism' and 'Hollywood copycat' are not going away every day.
Many of the films that have sparked discussions were invested by China Film.
For example
"Red Cliff" plagiarizing "300" is a classic case.
Of course, some Chinese movie posters plagiarize blockbusters. After all, this segmented industry is still very weak and needs time to develop.
But "Painted Skin" plagiarizes "Hero", which makes people
"Mr. Han, what does this have to do with me." Xiang Yang frowned, he has never designed a movie poster.
“Mr. Xiang, give it to McDonald’s.”
"." Xiangyang took a deep breath. Can this be related?
"Actually, the Sixth Princess also wants to ask you to do an exclusive interview. They want me to help ask." Han Sanping said with a smile.
CC Pictures designed the poster for "Black Swan". If Xiang Yang had not seen it, he would never believe it.
Besides, there is no problem if "Film Report" wants to invite Xiang Yang to record a program.
No matter what, he can't escape his identity as a half-member of the 'film industry'.
Using his influence to make a few appeals will get twice the result with half the effort.
"Okay, but I can't guarantee the time." Xiang Yang smiled silently. It was really hard for the Sixth Princess to refuse.
“So I’m not going to make a phone call to talk to Mr. Xiang first. Their recording team will go to Los Angeles with me.”
“Mr. Han, can you finish what you’re saying at once? ?" Xiang Yang shook his head helplessly after hearing this, "I'll let Shaffer connect with you."
"Okay, okay"
Han Sanping couldn't help but smile.
Without him, he has not lost his dignity in front of the Sixth Princess.
Two minutes later, his call came back to the Sixth Princess who had been waiting for Xin'er.
As for Jiang Wen
Han Sanping said, someone made a video and said you plagiarized.
You wouldn’t register on site B and then post a video to popularize it among netizens.
You only know you are anxious when your eyebrows are burning.
He called the Sixth Princess, and Xiang Yang was not idle even after hanging up the phone.
"Strange, how could such a thing happen to me?"
After wondering for half a minute, Xiang Yang pursed his lips and couldn't help but smile.
To be interviewed by a domestic movie channel, of course I had to drag Liu Qianqian along, "Honey, will you accompany me for an interview?"
"Okay~" Liu Qianqian didn't even ask about the content of the interview and which media it was from. Asked, she said with a smile:
"Guess, what did I find?"
"What did I find?"
"It turns out that the tailless cat is in Ma Endao~hehe.”
