Chapter 242 The imitator

"Zhu Jue, the studio is in trouble."

On the return flight, Li Qinglian first looked at several chat rooms on Talk for a while, then opened the notebook she carried with her, clicked on several webpages in a row, and said with a frown.

"Ok?"

Zhu Jue, who was looking at the clouds outside the window in a daze, turned his head and saw a line of titles on the computer screen at a glance: "Federation Heroes-Monster Hunter!" "

"This is the hottest imitation video on the Internet recently. I watched the content. It is similar to several of our videos. I went to Guangyuan City to hunt a few monsters of spiritual pollution by myself. Most of them are mutants of human-faced mice. Deep Diver Mutants"

"Isn't this what we expected a long time ago, trouble?"

Zhu Jue glanced at the content in the video and asked with some doubts.

Weird Studios makes a lot of money from shooting monster videos. This fact is not a secret that no one knows. Never stopped.

It's just that no matter how you discuss it, one thing is generally recognized, that is, the people in Weird Studio have become millionaires because of these few videos, no, they should be multimillionaires!
This is not correct, because so far, only Zhu Jue and Wu Tong's bosses have become multi-millionaires. Although Li Qinglian's salary is high, she is not enough to become a millionaire. After all, she is just a grotesque Studio employees.

This is not to say that Zhu Jue and Wu Tong treated her badly. Don't forget, she is still a college student. She has worked in the Weird Studio for less than a year and has changed from an ordinary female college student with less than 5 savings to a woman with Migrant workers with a resident card in the central area of ​​Yecheng and a deposit of more than 80 yuan, this level of employee treatment, I am afraid that there are not many in the entire federation.

Of course, this does not include the ruby ​​that Zhu Jue gave to Li Qinglian. The valuation of them has been released recently. In the federal authoritative jewelry organization, a ruby ​​of this level costs 80 federal coins!
As for Olivia. She is a freelancer, and Weird Studio does not need to pay her salary.

It’s nonsense to say that no one is jealous of this kind of wealth. Although Zhu Jue doesn’t care about this aspect, he also knows from Wu Tong how many people are staring at their weird studio. Li Qinglian organizes the studio’s business cooperation email every day It was discovered that the acquisition requests of various large groups were more and more demanding, and there were many threatening letters mixed in.

It's similar to saying that they have discovered the location of their studio, and if they don't pay the hush money, they will come to the door to expose it.

These dangerous studios are naturally ignored. When Zhu Jue was here, this kind of guy would die as many times as he wanted. Even if he went out to shoot videos, there was still an Olivia in the studio who broke into a private house and was killed in the central area of ​​Yecheng. It belongs to self-defense, let alone this kind of high-end residential area.

But this does not mean that the forces of the outside world will so easily allow a studio that came out of nowhere to make so much money. Since it is impossible to start from the inside of the studio, then use other methods , no matter what era it is, there will be no shortage of people who chase fame and fortune!

Video imitation is undoubtedly the easiest way to gain popularity. While Weird Studio's video became popular all over the Internet, a large number of follow-up works appeared on the Internet almost overnight.

At first, most of these videos were shoddy. Not only were the contents false, but they couldn’t even do basic holographic viewing. Naturally, they didn’t have any competitiveness. However, as the popularity of weird studios continued to grow, gradually some famous studios also began to try to produce such videos. In terms of content, not surprisingly, they also failed.

Because at that time they thought that Weird Studio's production of videos relied on special effects, and no one thought that the actors in the videos were actually fighting real monsters of spiritual pollution. There is a noticeable quality gap in the videos.

Although there are still some videos that have been sucked away by the popularity of Weird Studio, Zhu Jue and Wu Tong have discussed this matter a long time ago, and they will not prevent others from imitating their videos, because they want real imitation, It means that the video shooter must kill those monsters that are sources of spiritual pollution, and this is undoubtedly a good thing.

Besides, Zhu Jue doesn't think that these videos can take away the benefits of Weird Studio, because their videos have a core competitiveness that no one else can imitate from beginning to end.

That is Zhu Jue, the existence that can fight those truly terrifying monsters that are sources of spiritual pollution. To challenge the original body of the deep diver, Zhu Jue has already started to confront the terrifying existences like the star spirit.

This is a huge gap that cannot be filled by media publicity or special effects technology.

However, what Li Qinglian discovered this time was something Weird Studio had never encountered before.

"Someone is using our name to create momentum for themselves. It doesn't matter if the content of the video is plagiarized. They also specially used the name of the first-level inspector of the Monster Countermeasures Bureau and the hero who fights against the monsters of spiritual pollution. In the introduction of the video , they also mentioned that the photographer of the video and the monster hunter in Weird Studio had a meeting with you once, and the two sides had a good conversation, and said that they were inspired by you and decided to dedicate themselves to spiritual Go to the battle of the pollution source monster."

Swipe the index finger on the screen, and the webpage changes, Li Qinglian continued,

"The problem is that these people just took a video, and then publicized it on various platforms, saying that they will take over the banner of fighting against the monsters of spiritual pollution from your hand, and my team found that there have been a lot of pushers on the Internet recently , they put us on the same level as him on various websites and forums, trying to instill in people that they are already on the same level as our team."

Just listening to the first half of Li Qinglian's words, Zhu Jue didn't feel much. He wasn't too stingy to let others rub his heat. As I said before, if the other party is really fighting against the monster of spiritual pollution, he doesn't mind. Cooperate with them.

However, the second half of the sentence made him frowned subconsciously, because Weird Studio rarely interacts with the outside world, and has never cooperated with any media, so the outside world has always had great interest in exploring this mysterious studio. Curiosity.

Weird Studio is like a little girl half-covering her face while still holding a pipa. The better you cover it, the more people outside want to tear her veil off.

At this time, if someone who had seen her with his own eyes came out and was willing to disclose information about her, it would naturally attract a lot of attention.

This so-called "hero team" that popped up all of a sudden is probably based on this idea. It uses Weird Studio's behavior of never showing up outside to divert the public's attention from Weird Studio to them, and to create momentum for itself in the shortest possible time. , and thus obtain a very high starting point.

So far, almost all of their actions have been carried out on the premise of infringing on the rights and interests of Weird Studio, but they have not communicated with Weird Studio about these matters, and they have not even given basic notices. Li Qinglian's team has even discovered that they have no The meaning of taking it when you see it is good, and even want to improve your status through bundling sales.

Despicable behavior, no doubt about it.

"Heye, pull up the page. If I'm not mistaken, the person in the video seems to be a first-level inspector of the Yecheng Monster Countermeasures Bureau?"

Chu Yun, who poked her head out from the back seat, obviously had a different focus from Li Qinglian and Zhu Jue.

"Ok."

Li Qinglian nodded and raised the page.

"It sure is him!"

Punching on the armrest of the seat, Chu Yun looked at the people on the interview program with a look not much better than Li Qinglian.

"Oh, acquaintance."

Zhu Jue narrowed his eyes. When Chu Yun mentioned the Yecheng monster countermeasures, a person appeared in his mind.

as predicted.

Xue Lu, the former head of the security force of Yecheng Yuanfan Machinery Group!

"The first-level inspector of the Yecheng Countermeasures Bureau, and the background of Yuanfan Machinery Group. No wonder he dared to do this kind of thing without consulting with us. It turns out that there is a backer behind him."

This guy has indeed met Zhu Jue, but it was just a meeting, and now he is used by the other party as a gimmick for publicity. Of course, Zhu Jue is upset. The other party is obviously preparing to suppress Weird by virtue of his special identity and the power behind him. Studio, let them suffer this boring loss!
"Yecheng MCB is about to launch the Guangyuan Encirclement and Suppression Plan, right?"

Olivia asked suddenly from the side.

It seemed to be unrelated, but it made the faces of the people next to him change.

"Asshole. They pinched the timing. It's a conspiracy!"

Chu Yun gritted her teeth and said with a face full of resentment.
