Chapter 272 Copying You, You Should Be Grateful

November 11th is the day for the opening ceremony of the Golden Horse Awards.

Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian landed in Taiwan, and Zhang Songwen also attended. He is also a movie star now.

Just as the two landed, the verdict of the three-year-long plagiarism case of "Those Years" was announced.

The verdict shows the general meaning: Jade Rabbit does not involve plagiarism, the plots are slightly different, except for the love story between the male and female protagonists.

Which movie or TV show doesn’t have a romantic relationship between the male and female protagonists?

If you say that romance movies are plagiarized, then basically 90% of movies and TV shows are plagiarized.

If you say that the movie title is similar to the novel title, then that's the American Asylum Films, which has been copying various blockbusters. Others make "10,000 BC", and it makes "100 Million BC". How do you say it's just one word different?
Others are making "Avengers", and it is making "Avengers Grimm", there is only a difference of two words.

You said changing the name is nothing, but what about "The Hobbit", they added two words at the end, "The Age of the Hobbit"?
Even so, it was not defined as plagiarism.

Anyway, Yutu won the lawsuit and was not considered plagiarism, but the media still accused it of plagiarism.

Jiubadao was still cursing the principal: "Literary thief!"

This kind of thing has been hyped up again, but it is no longer considered hot news. It has been so long ago that people have long since forgotten about it. Only the Taiwan media is hyping it up.

Yilan Luodong Cultural Factory, where the 49th Golden Horse Awards was held.

A long red carpet was laid out here, and Xie Bi Wang walked by wearing sunglasses, with an arrogant hairstyle, his hands in his pockets, looking very arrogant.

Fans on both sides of the red carpet were screaming “Ahhhhhh”!

There are so many stars here, it can be said that it is a star-studded gathering. Big names and superstars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong have gathered here, making it an unprecedented occasion!

There were even many strange shapes. Cai Kangyong walked across the red carpet with a birdcage on his head. People who didn't know him would think he had some special hobby.

Anyway, this place is much more lively than Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers. Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers is really not good enough, there is nothing we can do about it.

This year's awards ceremony is so lively because King Andy Lau is the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards, so we have to give him some face.

This ceremony was broadcast not only by television stations in Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, but also by Star TV in Southeast Asia, basically covering all Chinese regions in Asia.

Major portal websites such as Sina, NetEase, Sohu, and Baidu also broadcast the event in real time with pictures and texts.

The scene was star-studded. Liu Tianxian had her long hair tied up in slight curls and wore a pink satin dress. The long dress just outlined her charming curves and made her skin look even whiter, like a gentle little woman.

She stood in the middle, holding Fang Hong's arm on the left and Zhang Songwen's arm on the right, and walked across the red carpet like a princess.

On both sides of the red carpet were cheering audiences, and fans holding light boards, banners, and posters of their respective characters.

Now Zhang Songwen has also become a powerful actor with "Cold War". The movie grossed 2.5 million yuan in mainland China, which is a pretty good result.

3864 million in Hong Kong, considered a hit!
There are not many people in this place, only a few million, so a box office of tens of millions is already considered a hit.

In addition, there are Malaysia with 214 million US dollars, Singapore with 75 US dollars, and South Korea with 13 US dollars. I won’t mention the others, all of which are in the tens of thousands of US dollars.

The total overseas sales is about 350 million US dollars, or 2450 million, which is a good result!

The three men walked to the top of the stairs, where a group of reporters were waiting and quickly surrounded them.

The reporter held the microphone and asked, "Excuse me, President, what do you think of "Those Years" plagiarizing Giddens?"

"Yutu did not plagiarize." Fang Hong responded.

Looking at the reporter's nameplate, those who can ask this question are basically reporters from Taiwan.

They are more concerned about this!

"How can there be no plagiarism? Everyone thinks there is plagiarism." the reporter asked.

"Who are you talking about? The court has already ruled that there is no plagiarism. I respect the court's decision." Fang Hong was a little impatient.

"That's you guys."

"Since you said that, Jiubadao should thank Yutu for helping him increase his popularity. If Yutu hadn't made this movie, his novel wouldn't have become popular. He should be grateful."

Fang Hong directly interrupted what the reporter was about to say.

Chen Sicheng can face the issue of plagiarism calmly and directly say that he plagiarized. What's wrong with that? What does he have to be afraid of?

The Jade Rabbit today is no longer the Jade Rabbit of a few years ago.

If you have the guts, go and sue! If you have the money, just make it.

The reporter from Taiwan was speechless. This person is too shameless. He even said that copying you will increase your fame and you should be grateful.

Fang Hong, Liu Tianxian and Zhang Songwen have already entered the award ceremony venue.

The pictures and texts of this interview were transmitted to the mainland Internet in real time, and netizens were just watching the show and making fun of the principal's "domineering" attitude.

That's what we should say to those frogs in the well. What's wrong with copying you? Why are they holding on to it? Of course, there are also people who say that the principal shouldn't do this and it's shameful.

Netizens from Taiwan were very indignant and called the principal "trash"!
The status of netizens on both sides is completely different.

Jiubadao was also very angry and started cursing on the Internet. No matter what he cursed, the matter was over with Fang Hong.

No matter how much trouble he makes, it will be of no avail. He doesn't have to pay a penny. He is the "right" party.

The award ceremony venue has two floors. The upper floor surrounding the venue is the audience area, and the lower floor, which is like a staircase, is the celebrity guest area.

The guest seats are divided into three sections: left, middle and right. There is a staircase in the middle of each section for people to go up and down.

The award ceremony hadn't started yet, and the red carpet walk hadn't ended yet. Many people who had come in earlier were taking their seats and some were chatting at their seats.

"headmaster!"

It was Hao Lei's familiar shout again.

Hearing this name, King Liu, Fang Long, Li Bailian, Dabaobei, Gui Lunmei and others in the front row turned around and looked at this legendary figure in the entertainment industry with curiosity.

This person is still very mysterious. He is rarely seen in public, and there is no news about him.

Fang Hong saw Hao Lei and stepped down several steps: "Sister Hao Lei, you are dressed so formally!"

Last year it was very cool, this year it is very formal, Hao Lei is wearing a black women's suit, looking very conservative. "Is it disappointing that I dress so formally?" she said with a smile.

"No, no, I like the way you look now. You have the temperament of a lady from a noble family." Fang Hong looked at her.

This made Hao Lei cover her mouth and laugh.

She looked at Zhang Songwen, and they nodded. They had worked together before. Then she looked at Liu Tianxian: "Tianxian, please show mercy."

Both of them are nominees for the Golden Horse Awards for Best Actress. The movie Hao Lei was nominated for is "Floating City", directed by Lou Ye, who is sitting next to her.

"If I were a judge, I would give the female lead role to you, but unfortunately I'm not." Liu Tianxian spoke in Filipino.

"Haha, that's great. I wish you can become a judge soon." Hao Lei shook hands with her.

After a casual chat, Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian went to the front row seats. Zhang Songwen did not follow them as he sat in the back row.

Apart from him, there are no other actors with Jade Rabbit here. They are all big names from Hong Kong and Taiwan. People from the mainland don’t have the opportunity to win awards, so they generally don’t come.

There's no point in making this trip.

It took several years for new actors and directors to emerge, such as Xu Guangtou, Shen Teng, Wu Jing, Guo Fan, and Lu Yang.

In terms of fame and status, only Huang Bo is still relatively impressive now, as he is the host of the Golden Horse Awards. Zeng Aizi is already dead.

Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian sat in the front row, and Fang Long and Li Bailian also sat in the same row with them.

Liu Tianxian greeted them and still respected them very much, but a money wolf is a money wolf and will not show mercy to you just because you are kind.

"Tianxian, my movie "The Chinese Zodiac" will have its premiere on the 12th of next month. Do you want to come?" Fang Long invited again.

"I'm sorry, brother. I have to go to Macau on the 12th to attend an award ceremony there." Liu Tianxian declined.

December 12th to 11th is the time for the Macau Film Festival awards ceremony, which is a good excuse.

Moreover, the 12th is the day when "Lost in Thailand" is released. This is Yutu's movie. It is not good to support the enemy, or I will be called an ungrateful person.

She rose to fame thanks to Yutu. Instead of supporting Yutu, she supports Huayi. This is a complete black spot and her fans will scold her to death.

Fang Long looked at Fang Hong in disappointment.

"Brother, we are rivals, you don't need to invite me." Fang Hong blocked him directly.

Li Bailian couldn't stop laughing when she saw Fang Long being humiliated.

In fact, she and Fang Hong had no grudge against each other!
"Thank you, Principal and Liu Tianxian, for participating in this event. What are you talking about?" Liu Tianwang ran over to greet them.

"Just talk about movies." Fang Hong said casually.

Liu Tianxian greeted with a smile.

"Principal, if you have any movies, please contact me. I am a very capable actor." King Liu introduced himself with a smile.

He thought that the movies "Big Shot" and "Cold War" were pretty good and felt that they were suitable for him to play.

"If there is a suitable role, of course." Fang Hong said perfunctorily.

"Okay, you guys chat, I'll go greet the others." King Liu smiled politely at them.

Then the place fell into silence. No one spoke, and there was nothing much to say.

It’s just that people always look at Fang Hong and are curious about him.

Liu Tianxian adjusted her skirt, put her hand to her mouth, and whispered, "I'm a little excited."

"What are you so excited about?" Fang Hong looked at her in confusion.

"Every time I'm in this kind of occasion, when I'm about to receive an award, I feel a little excited and a little bit expectant," Liu Tianxian said in a low voice.

"Keep calm. Look at me, I know I will win the award. I am very calm and don't expect it at all." Fang Hong said about himself.

"Show off! You know you're going to win the prize before the competition even starts!" said Liu Tianxian.

"How about we make a bet?" Fang Hong said.

"Are you addicted to gambling? You gamble every time." Liu Tianxian tapped his temple.

Last time, too, we made a bet at Golden Horse that we would block her door, and we really did block her door and build a snowman.

Just as the two were whispering, all the celebrity guests and audience members had arrived, the scene became a little quiet, and the Golden Horse Awards ceremony officially began.

The awards ceremony will last for three hours, until around 11pm.

Huang Bo and Zeng Baoyi have come on stage to host the award ceremony. Their hosting styles are humorous and the atmosphere is never dull. They can always pick up on each other's jokes.

Making fun of others can also make the audience laugh.

Especially for King Liu, the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards, it’s okay to make fun of him.

Compared with last year's short host Zeng, the father and daughter had occasional awkward moments when hosting the show, which made the show much more effective.

After some awkward singing and dancing, the two announced in a resounding voice: "This year's Golden Horse Awards will be fair and just, and there will be no regional differences!"

This has been controversial in previous sessions, with people saying that the awards were always given to locals, which made people feel that the Golden Horse Awards were just like that and there were a lot of controversies.

After some awkward singing and dancing, the Best Creative Short Film and Best New Actor awards were presented.

The Best Short Film award went to "The Trash Boy".

Next, the Best New Actor award was presented to Qi Xi from "Floating City Mystery".

"clap clap"

There was applause and blessings at the scene, and of course there were also expressions of disappointment for not winning the award.

The next awards to be presented are Best Costume Design, Best Art Design, and after Best Photography, the Best Supporting Actor Award will be presented.

Fang Hong is the one who was nominated.
