Chapter 825 What is the Isle of Man most famous for? !

"Plagiarism?"

What Liu Xixi didn't expect was that when "Black Swan" was just starting to be screened in China.

The topic of another movie generated by this suddenly became popular on the Internet.

"Let the Bullets Fly", which has been very popular in terms of word of mouth, box office performance, and the attention it has brought, has suddenly been linked to "plagiarism".

You can imagine how explosive this topic is.

That’s right, “Let the Bullets Fly” was accused of plagiarism.

In fact, just a few days after the movie was released, this topic appeared on the Internet.

Some film critics pointed out that the conception of the train scene at the beginning of "Let the Bullets Fly" is extremely similar to that of "The Great Train Robbery", a 1903 film that was only 11 minutes long, which attracted a lot of attention.

But this time, what the media and netizens were most keen to discuss was its poster.

The graphic design language and creativity of the three posters of "Let the Bullets Fly" are very similar to those of "Prison Break", "Infernal Affairs" and "The Prestige".

There are pictures and truth.

After comparing several posters, many netizens have exclaimed, "Such strikingly similar posters, you know."

Of course, there are also many people who are dismissive of this topic.

It's like saying nothing.

The issue of poster plagiarism isn't limited to movies like "Let the Bullets Fly".

It's just that it's too popular.

There are many reds.

But compared with the calm, tolerant, helpless and sarcastic reactions of netizens, Jiang Wen, the main creator of the film, did not take the matter to heart at all.

The poster part was outsourced this time.

Now that such a thing has happened, it is somewhat like finding a stupid teammate.

Find someone else to make a normal poster?
Isn't that just slapping yourself in the face?

In fact, he had faced the "plagiarism scandal" when he was filming "The Sun Also Rises".

In his opinion, the best approach is to ignore it.

Unfortunately, he forgot that in just a few years, the rapid development of the Internet has long been different from the environment when "The Sun Also Rises" was filmed.

Just after a film review titled "Jiang Wen's Master Leone" was uploaded to Douban.

Bilibili also reviewed and approved a 15-minute video made by a netizen titled "The Origin of Bullets."

This short film doesn't say anything.

I just compared Leone's film with the clips from "Let the Bullets Fly".

Even before the preview of Black Swan ended, it had already become the most popular movie on Bilibili.

Discussion, likes, dislikes, and comments
Compared with Douban, which is mainly based on text, although it has gathered a large number of movie fans, its popularity and influence on the public are really not enough.

After all, this type of video would later be called electronic mustard.

"Jiang Wen, take a look at this video."

"fart!"

After a while.
Jiang Wen almost broke the coffee table.

Did I copy Leone?

Why don’t you say that Leone plagiarized Kurosawa? This is a famous case in film history!

"I heard that this B station is..." Zhou Yun glanced at the coffee table with heartache.

Who is the boss behind Bilibili is no secret in the Chinese entertainment industry.

After Light Media, Bona Film Group and Hermes Film Investment Company came together, they recently started the business of selling preview movie tickets in advance, which also attracted a lot of attention in the circle.

The previews that were sold out were still competing with "Let the Bullets Fly" for "Black Swan" screening schedule.

Was this viral video intentional?

Who can guarantee it?
It was of no use Han Sanping swearing.

"I shouldn't have offended him in the first place." Jiang Wen said meaningfully, and the "he" he was referring to was naturally Xiang Yang.

"How about we ask someone?" Zhou Yun quickly struck while the iron was hot.

If you want to ask whether such videos have an impact on the movies currently in theaters, of course they do.

Word of mouth is very important.

If this video is allowed to ferment completely and combined with other negative reports, it would be tantamount to killing the box office potential of "Let the Bullets Fly".

"It shouldn't be his." Jiang Wen calmed down and shook his head again.

He still hasn't forgotten what happened on the day of the premiere.

"No one can guarantee anything in business. Let's think of ways to deal with it if something goes wrong."

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 shows, he will schedule fewer shows.

How many producers behind the movies that are about to be released can guarantee that they will not be jealous of the money-making box office performance of "Let the Bullets Fly"?
"Let me call Han Sanping first." Jiang Wen picked up the phone on the table.

"Han Sanping is looking for me?" Sitting at his desk, Xiangyang was frowning at a pile of documents.

The Isle of Man is the private property of the Queen of England.

It's also a tax haven.

But the most famous one is the Isle of Man TT.

Well, that famous motorcycle race with the spirit chasing after you.

In addition to motorcycle manufacturers, Red Bull, which co-sponsors several sports events with HYS, is also among the sponsors of this event.

so.
Xiangyang, which has not yet purchased the castle, is already considering whether to make HYS one of the sponsors of this event.

You can also become their official broadcasting partner.

Xiangyang took the phone and asked, "Why did he look for me?"

"I didn't ask in detail." Liu Qianqian responded with a brisk pace.

Han Sanping's phone call could not be connected to Xiangyang's mobile phone, so Bi Shaffer usually answered the call and reported the situation.

In order to contact Xiangyang in time, he would naturally find a middleman. No one was more suitable than Liu Qianqian.

"Okay, I got it. I'll fight him back right away." Xiang Yang's expression was a little serious.

Since Han Sanping was willing to ask his wife for help, it must be something important.

However, after the call was connected, he listened for a few minutes before he understood what was going on.

Is this matter serious?

Can't you just ask Wang Changtian and Yu Dong?
As for wasting phone bills?

"Let me take a look, Mr. Han." Although Xiangyang didn't care a bit, he was also curious.

What kind of video is it that makes the arrogant Jiang Wen take it so seriously?

After clicking and looking at it twice
"Didn't Leone plagiarize Kurosawa?" Xiang Yang couldn't help but be surprised. Why didn't this UP on Bilibili mention this?

Leone's A Fistful of Dollars plagiarized Kurosawa's Yojimbo, which plagiarized Dashiell Hammett's The Glass Key.

Well, except for plagiarism.

Yojimbo also draws on John Ford’s supporting character designs.

This was the final conclusion back then.

Besides, it’s not that Leone didn’t want to pay. He asked Kurosawa for authorization before filming.

It’s just that the film company was stingy and was reluctant to pay after the filming.

In the end, the case was brought to court because the movie was a big hit.

However, it was after this farce ended that Japanese samurai films and American western films began to adapt each other's films in various ways.

There are so many movies involved here.

None of the well-known movies such as "Seven Samurai" and "Unforgiven" were spared.

"." Han Sanping on the other end of the phone was stunned.

This sounds familiar, as if I heard it from someone just now.

"Mr. Han, I will ask Bilibili to check it. Is there anything else?" Xiang Yang turned off the video, but he was not interested in asking Bilibili to delete it.

There are many videos of him and Liu Qianqian on Bilibili.

Jiang Wen's talent is nowhere to be found.

Don't worry, the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" will be praised to the sky on Bilibili in the future.

Don't be so sensitive.

"Boss Xiang, you misunderstood me." Han Sanping explained, "I called you so anxiously mainly because of another matter."

Xiangyang said, "Hmm?"

"Poster." Han Sanping cleared his throat.

The topic of "poster plagiarism" has sparked heated discussions among netizens, although it was not reported on CCTV.

But the Sixth Princess has already passed the message.

We need to do a relevant report on this topic in "China Film Report".

There is no way around it. With the booming development of China's film industry, the discussion about "borrowing" and "copying Hollywood" has been going on for a long time.

Among these, many of the movies that have sparked discussion were invested by Huaying.

E.g
"Red Cliff" plagiarizing "300 Spartans" is a classic example.

Of course, there are also people who say that the posters of Chinese-language films are plagiarized from blockbusters. After all, this niche industry is still very weak and needs time to develop.

But "Painted Skin" plagiarized "Hero", which is surprising.
"Mr. Han, what does this have to do with me?" Xiang Yang frowned. He had never designed a poster for a movie.

"Boss Xiang, you give it to McDonald's."

"." Xiangyang took a deep breath. How could this be connected?

"Actually, the Sixth Princess also wants you to do an exclusive interview, and they want me to help ask." Han Sanping smiled awkwardly.

Xiang Yang would never believe that he had not seen the poster designed by CC Pictures for "Black Swan".

Moreover, there is no problem at all if Film Report invites Xiang Yang to record a program.

No matter what, he can't escape the identity of being half a member of the "film industry".

Using his influence to make a few appeals would achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Okay, but I can't guarantee the time." Xiangyang smiled speechlessly. It was really hard for the Sixth Princess to refuse.

"So I'm going to call Mr. Xiang first to let him know. Their recording team is going to Los Angeles with me."

"Boss Han, can you finish what you are saying?" Xiang Yang shook his head helplessly, "I'll let Xia Fu talk to you."

"well."

Han Sanping couldn't help but smile.

It’s simple. He just didn’t lose face in front of the Sixth Princess.

Two minutes later, he called the Sixth Princess who had been waiting for news.

As for ginger
Han Sanping said that someone made a video and accused you of plagiarism.

You won’t also register on Bilibili and then make a video to popularize it to netizens.

Only when your eyebrows are on fire do you feel anxious.

He called the Sixth Princess, and after hanging up the phone, Xiangyang was not idle either.

"Strange, why would something like this happen to me?"

After being confused for half a minute and still not figuring it out, Xiangyang pursed his lips and couldn't help but smile.

When accepting an interview with a domestic film channel, of course Liu Qianqian had to be dragged along, "Honey, will you accompany me for an interview?"

"Okay~" Liu Qianqian didn't even ask about the content of the interview or which media it was. She smiled and said:

"Guess what I found?"

"What did you find?"

"It turns out that the tailless cat is on the Isle of Man~hehe."
