my gilded age

Chapter 331 Counterattack! "The Third Man" is completely crushed!The Wang brothers resorted to a honey trap...

After Red Star's "The Third Man" and Huayi's "Parasite" were released and screened at the same time, it was time to look at word of mouth. And because of various previous incidents, the popularity of the topic has only increased.

"It's not the same at all! It's really different! I've watched it, and there's a lot of difference between the two movies." ID, zero0707 expressed his opinion.

"I can't say that. There are indeed similarities, but I still feel that our Lao Bai's works are better." Goutou Chop came to join in the fun again.

"Does this need to be said? Our Lao Bai's movies are definitely better than those Bing Bing's!" The mood also got mixed up.

Fans No. 4 of Lao Bai, they really spoke out enthusiastically. Many of them went to the cinema to support "The Third Man", and this movie is really brain-burning, very interesting to watch, and even Some people didn’t understand it and wanted to brush it up again.

In this way, everyone seems to have forgotten that plagiarism itself has little to do with Baek Shi-qiu, but everyone loves it.

It should be said that No. 4 is very powerful, and our Lao Bai's works are definitely good at it. They were very popular on the Internet before, but this time they met their opponents.

"Bingbing is so beautiful!"

"Yes, yes, I really like my soldier's short hair style this time! Of course the movie or something was copied by a certain guy named Bai."

"My fan is the strongest! I am the queen of fan!"

There is Fang Binbin in the movie "Parasite". After so many years of hard work, she has many fans on the Internet. It's strange.

So, No. 4 met an enemy they had never encountered before, Fang Binbin fans, and everyone started to have a good debate. The key is that there are many opponents, and they don't care about the quality of the movie at all, and they just talk about plagiarism. Well, it wasn't even Bai Shiqiu's copy in the first place, but they didn't care.

This thing is even more lively.

But this is a movie after all, so how can it be missing film critics?

After Jiang Xiaoyu watched two movies, he wrote hard when he went back and completed his masterpiece that night.

"It has nothing to do with plagiarism, the truth is that atonement and love are far better than revenge."

Jiang Xiaoyu was quite proud of the title of this article. Listen, it is so literary and artistic.

In fact, what the article talks about is very simple, that is, although the two movies "The Third Man" and "Parasite" have many similarities, the quality of the former is much higher, and the theme is too alright.

Fundamentally, The Third Man is a man's story of redemption, and the theme here is love.

Love is the eternal theme of human art, and the most special thing is that this movie expresses love in a very obscure way, but this obscurity makes this love even greater.

He Wei is an ordinary person on the surface. He is suffering from his wife's serious illness, and even his wife has split into another personality. How painful it is for him.And there is also a sin in his heart, he wants to atone for the sin, maybe this kind of atonement psychology has diluted the theme of love, but in fact, he still didn't tell the truth in the end, he just satisfied Xiao Ke, who was originally not happy. The existential sister-in-law’s desire to solve crimes.

His death sublimated this kind of love, and found greatness in the ordinary.

"Parasite" does not see these, and is even somewhat opposite. It is more about exploring the dark side of human heart.

Of course, Jiang Xiaoyu is a professional film critic. He did not give too many spoilers. He just said that he likes the theme of 'love' more, especially the way of hiding love.

In fact, Jiang Xiaoyu didn't know that the reason for changing "The Third Man" to its current level was really due to Bai Shiqiu. The original movie was not like this, and even the theme of love was not highlighted.

But, it doesn't matter, Lu Fu's article has also come out, and his title is even simpler.

"The Third Man, China's version of 'Secret'"

This article is written from a reasoning perspective.

reasoning?Why did you reason?
Lu Fu grasped a key point, which is that this movie looks like a thriller, but it is actually an exquisite mystery movie, and it feels very much like the Japanese movie "The Secret".

"The Secret" is a work written by Keigo Higashino, Japan's best-selling novelist, after his divorce. It was quickly adapted into a movie, starring Kaoru Kobayashi and Ryoko Hirosue, and received great reviews.

Why is "The Third Man" said to be the Chinese version of "The Secret"?

It depends on what "Secret" is about. In this movie, in a car accident in Hokkaido, the actor's wife and daughter played by Kaoru Kobayashi had accidents, but the wife died and the daughter lived, but The wife's soul entered the daughter's body.

That is, the wife wants to live with her husband as a daughter, and the wife loves her husband. Between the two of them... among other things, how can sex be resolved?

Father and daughter?

Taboo is very much in line with the Japanese style, but in fact, everything that happened next shows that this is a mystery work.

The wife later told her husband that her soul was going to disappear and that her daughter was getting married. But later, when she was getting married, the husband discovered that his daughter was actually his wife and his wife's soul had not disappeared.

It's such a story. I have to say that the husband's final ending was quite miserable. He was cheated. It would be fine if he didn't know, but Lu Fu discovered the common ground.

Among Van Dyne's twenty rules, the third is: Don't add love elements to the story, lest irrational emotions interfere with purely rational deductions.

"The Third Man" and "The Secret" go in the opposite direction, they are all reasoning about love.

In addition, although there is no father and daughter, sister-in-law and brother-in-law, isn't this also very taboo?

Lu Fu emphasized in the article that "The Third Man" was absolutely not plagiarized, at least he could not tell that it was plagiarized from the "Secret". In short, he did not mention the movie "Parasite" at all.

Lu Fu's views are very sharp, as he always is, while Jiang Xiaoyu is relatively tactful. As soon as the two articles came out, they also caused a lot of topics.

Especially Lu Fu's article, there are more likes, especially many comments want to ask, is the "Secret" true...

Lu Fu took the trouble and had no choice but to leave a message, wouldn’t you guys find the resources yourself?

Many netizens search and download with critical ideas, which makes many websites discover new hot spots. Caoliu, Junetian, etc. are even more lively. Many netizens even leave messages, hoping that the island country will add more plots and not always It just clicks as soon as it comes up, which is very boring.

At least from the perspective of independent film critics, "The Third Man" is going to kill "Parasite" instantly.

As a result, in the online chaos, No. 4 received a powerful boost, and based on their theoretical basis, they became even more powerful in fighting Fang Binbin's fans.

In terms of box office, the two movies were almost evenly matched on the first day after the screening, both around 2000 million. However, after three days, "Parasite" could not hold on, and the box office continued to decline, and the decline was even more serious. , is its arrangement.

The two movies were originally scheduled for about 30% each. After the lessons learned at the beginning of the year, the theaters decided to play both sides this time so as not to offend. Bai Shiqiu is a fool, but the Wang brothers are not honest either, so everyone thinks There are several, but none of them will offend, is that okay?
But seeing that "Parasite" is on its last legs and its attendance has dropped off a cliff, should it continue to be released?

In fact, as for which movie is good and which movie is bad, it is easy for movie fans to be fooled the last time, but it is difficult to be fooled the second time. As for the two films "The Third Man" and "Parasite", except for the original script, they are the same. , and another thing they have in common is that they all use suspense and thriller as their main selling point.

But even for this, after watching the two movies, many movie fans felt that "The Third Man" was a complete victory, especially since both Bai Shiqiu and Zhang Jiahui were tied up and tortured, but Bai Shiqiu also won completely.Many movie fans directly said that Bai Shiqiu's part of holding his urine until he peed and then collapsed, this may become a classic in film history, and many fans even wondered about the future, whether Lao Bai would win the Best Actor again because of this part.

But...it's really embarrassing to say that you won the Best Actor award by peeing.

Whether it is word of mouth or box office, Red Star's "The Third Man" has achieved complete crushing.

In such a situation, do the Wang brothers have any other options?

"Brother, what did the leader say?"

"Ah~"

"Why are you sighing?"

"It doesn't constitute plagiarism, it's much different."

"Fuck you! How can you comment on that old guy?"

"Then the old bastard has confessed everything. This book belongs to Cheng Er. He deceived them, bought this book at a low price, and then got the funds from us."

"Damn...fortunately, in this movie, we don't have the bulk of the funds."

"That's right, that's all it is now. It's the Emperor and the others who have suffered more."

The Wang brothers were discussing at this time. They never dreamed that "Parasite" would fail so quickly. They had prepared some means, but now they can't use them.

However, they didn't expect that there would be an even bigger surprise next.

"Boss, it's bad! Court summons!"

"What? A subpoena?"

"Then let the legal department handle it."

"Bosses, this is to tell Teacher He Ping."

"what?"

"Then, then why..."

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei just wanted to say why the summons against He Ping was sent to our Huayi, but they immediately understood that it was probably because of the "Parasite".

"Fuck you! What should I do?"

"Brother, don't worry. The leaders of the bureau have already said that it is not considered plagiarism. They Red Star didn't plagiarize us, so we didn't plagiarize them either?"

"Yes!"

"Let's see what this complaint is about first."

The two brothers quickly read the summons. Of course, people from their legal department also came with them.

It turned out that He Ping was being sued for fraud. To put it simply, He Ping did not tell the whole truth in the script transaction with Cheng Er, that is, the original "Harmonica" script was later spotted by Huayi and financed the filming. These were completely ignored. Instead, he hid it and bought it at a low price.

When the Wang family brothers heard this, they were a little confused.

"Is this fraud?"

"Yeah, does that count?"

The people in the legal department were all facing the boss and immediately said: "Two bosses, we will never lose in this lawsuit, and neither will Teacher He Ping."

not lose?
The Wang brothers glanced at each other. They are both smart people. Since this is a lawsuit that cannot be lost, why does Bai Shiqiu of Red Star want to file this lawsuit? Is he an idiot?

Wang Zhonglei slapped his thigh suddenly, "Brother, I understand! It doesn't matter whether you win or lose this lawsuit!"

Wang Zhongjun also suddenly realized, "Oh! As long as this happens, that's enough."

That's right, winning or losing the lawsuit is actually secondary, but as long as He commented on the fact that he bought the script from Cheng Er, then...

Isn't it clear who copied who?

Moreover, as long as legal procedures are followed, this incident will definitely be exposed.

How to do?
The two Wang brothers were sweating profusely. They didn't expect to get to this point. Originally, their side was the first to strike with a heavy punch, but now they turned around and were suppressed.

Wang Zhongjun seemed to suddenly think of something, "Go back, everyone, go back."

Disperse everyone, leaving only my younger brother.

"Brother, do you have a solution?"

"Where is Fang Binbin?"

"After going to Hong Kong, this girl seemed to have a connection there, and she also promoted "Parasite" for the Emperor."

"I remember that Bai Shiqiu went to Yangcheng to promote, right?"

"Brother, this news... Hehe, I know what to do."

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, as if they had thought of a way to deal with it, but they just mentioned Fang Binbin.

Is this a honey trap?
