Chapter 284: Discredit
The expected response from Feng Xiaogang did not come, but instead he received a lot of bad reviews.
On the fifth day after the release of "Crazy Stone", I woke up early in the morning and found that the media was full of negative reviews for "Crazy Stone".
["Crazy Stone" is suspected of plagiarism...]
[Some film industry insiders pointed out that "Crazy Stone" completely plagiarized the foreign film "Two Smoking Barrels"]< br>
[The genius director Zhang Chen calls is actually a thief~]
The media, they are all talking about nothing surprising.
The title of the article is so shocking.
In addition, there are also film critics who are negative.
【"Crazy Stone" is an overrated pulp work】
["Crazy Stone" is not a comedy, but a farce]
...
Dong Jianqiang ordered an emergency meeting, and an hour later, a group of people were all sitting in the company's conference room.
Ning Hao's expression looked a little uneasy. He rushed back from other places temporarily after realizing that something was wrong~
The last time he directed "Black 2", there was not so much trouble. This time What a moth.
Dong Jianqiang glanced at him: "Don't worry, this is all normal slander. It should be done by the publisher of "Seven Swords". We have already expected it..."
Seeing Dong Jianqiang's confident look, Ning Jianqiang Hao felt a little reassured.
Zhang Chen was the last to arrive. After he arrived, the meeting officially began.
“These negative reports all appeared early this morning, at the same time, so someone must have done it deliberately. The source has not been found yet, but there is a high probability that it is "Seven Swords"."
While introducing the situation, Chen Xi handed out the compiled information, one copy to each person.
Everyone scanned it roughly and found that what was in the information was similar to what they had learned. There were basically two aspects:
First, "Stone" was suspected of plagiarism.
Two, "Stone" has no artistic quality.
None of this is new. These were already foreseen when they designed the promotion strategy for "Stone".
“The plagiarism statement came from a post on Tianya. Someone pointed out that "Stone" plagiarized "Two Smoking Barrels", and then some media reprinted this post..."
"Where are the film critics? Is this naysayer one of the people we reviewed before?"
This is what Zhang Chen is most concerned about. During the film screening, several well-known film critics were invited , and stuffed red envelopes.
If you confiscate the money and scold them, they have nothing to do with it.
But if you receive money but don't do the work, and still say the opposite, it's not just a matter of professional ethics.
Chen Xi heard this and shook his head: "The naysayer was not one of our previous guides. This person was not one of the most famous. He could only be considered a minor celebrity, so we didn't consider it at the time. He..."
Oh, that's right.
Zhang Chen probably knows what’s going on.
Just like what is said in "Charlotte's Troubles", if you give me a gift, I may not remember you. If you don't give it, I will definitely remember you.
This naysayer probably feels unbalanced. Why should others look down on me if I am not?
So people want to flip the table.
"Don't pay attention to the film critic in advance. Anyone in their right mind will not believe him. Let's first talk about how we deal with plagiarism?"
"I have asked the publicity team to deal with it according to our previous strategy. .”
“Yeah.”
Zhang Chen nodded, plagiarism is not a big deal.
Just don’t let others lead you.
The word plagiarism is still very popular these days, after all, the Guo Xiaosi incident has just passed.
"How Many Flowers Fall in a Dream" plagiarizes "Inside and Outside the Circle".
It is really surprising that such a famous writer plagiarized. Although Guo Xiaosi refused to admit it and refused to apologize, this matter cannot be ignored.
You, a native of Shanghai, write a book, and it contains so much Beijing flavor that everyone can figure out what is going on.
As for Guo Xiaosi, he is willing to lose money, but he will never apologize.
It’s just that young people can’t keep it on their faces, feel they have lost face, and are losing their temper.
But "Stone" is different. Is "Stone" considered plagiarism?
Of course not.
It's just that the narrative technique is borrowed from "Two Smoking Barrels". If this is considered plagiarism, then no movie is not plagiarism.
This makes sense everywhere.
So everyone at Star Entertainment is not afraid of this matter getting serious, but there must be some clarification.
"It just so happens that I'm going to record "Super Interview" this afternoon. I'll clarify it by the way and treat it as publicity."
These negative reports were all expected by them. You can ignore it, but when "Seven Swords" takes action, you can't ignore it.
This is why Dong Jianqiang called them over for a meeting.
"Let's release the dirty information we prepared one after another..."
It's rude to come back but not reciprocate.
We are taught in martial arts movies about the time of retribution, but in reality, you are the first grader and I am the fifteenth grader...
Dududu~
While everyone was talking, there was a knock on the door of the conference room. It was Li Kaiyu's assistant.
He first smiled apologetically at everyone, and then said: "A professor from Nortel reviewed "The Stone" and the review was very bad, so I..."
Everyone took the information in her hand. Only then did I learn that it was a professor from Nortel named Huang Shixian who expressed his views on "The Stone".
“Young directors should make art films first and then commercial films.”
“A movie is either funny or a comedy. A real comedy should be like Chaplin’s. After watching it, you will There is thought, but there is a bitter smile. But there is no such thing in "Stone". The movie just makes the three thieves make fools of themselves, and it is a spoof. But what can I think about after watching it? You won’t remember anything after a while.”
“The female images in the film are all in a weak position and do not bring much highlight to the film.”
"Without art, Chinese films will definitely die."
The key is this person's identity, he is an old artist.
There is a long list of titles in front of the personal information - Vice President of the China Colleges and Universities Film and Television Society, Director of the China Taiwan and Hong Kong Film Research Association, and Director of the Chinese Film Critics Society.
Just looking at these titles gives people a headache. This kind of person may not have much influence himself, but he has many disciples and former officials. If he offends him, he might offend some big shot.
Everyone was in trouble, Dong Jianqiang even looked at Zhang Chen: "Why don't you ask your school if you can do his job and tell him to stop talking."
Zhang Chen was speechless. He didn't know who Huang Shixian was, and he didn't know whether he simply suffered from the old artist's disease or was instructed by someone else.
"Okay, I'll ask now~"
Zhang Chen ran to call Teacher Fu. The most troublesome thing is this kind of person. If it was an ordinary celebrity, Zhang Chen would just call him. Squirted. But this kind of thing might be a hidden boss, so you have to deal with it carefully~
Teacher Fu knows this person, "Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai and many other sixth generation students are his students. If you offend him, it means you have offended him." The entire sixth generation..."
Zhang Chen was a little speechless, "The key now is that he takes the initiative to provoke us, not us. I don't understand. They are all from Nortel, so why is he targeting Ning. Hao?
Is it to gain a sense of presence or for another purpose.
If it is to enhance the sense of existence, then why only criticize "The Stone" and not "Seven Swords"? Does "Seven Swords" have artistic quality? Did Xu Ke make an art film first and then a commercial film?
If there is another purpose, then don’t blame me for being rude. You should know my style. The sixth generation is nothing in my eyes. "
"People may just think that Ning Hao is from Nortel and one of our own, so I would like to make a few remarks..."
"If it is a well-intentioned comment, then it is best to do so in private. What he is doing now is not to raise points, but to blatantly bad-mouth "The Stone". That is not the goodwill of the elders..."
"Okay, I understand your attitude. I will react to the school leaders and let them do Huang Shixian's work. He has indeed gone too far..."
Fu Donglai also feels that Huang Shixian should not be here If the media criticizes "The Stone" in this way, it is well-intentioned, as Zhang Chen said, and if it is done in private, there will be no problem at all.
You are a professor at Nortel, and Ning Hao is a student at Nortel. There is nothing wrong with the professor expressing his opinion on the student's work, but it is inappropriate to accuse him openly.
