Chapter 632: Stop Cheating
Co-production films are essentially different from imported films and can avoid many policy risks.

For example, physical inspections and tariffs, this is not the way America always plays the game.

But if it is a co-production, it will be reviewed at the beginning, that is, before the shooting begins. An imported film is one that needs to be reviewed after the work is completed if you want it to enter the market of another country.

Whether you can enter is up to them. If they want to make changes or deletions, you have to follow their advice, otherwise don't enter.

Co-productions also enjoy high profit-sharing treatment, which can be enjoyed by both sides because both sides are local films.

This was the case when we were filming "Gravity". We thought and thought again, revised it again and again, and even made a special edition, just for fear of offending the culture of any country.

Another thing is awards. Both sides can hold awards locally, such as the Golden Rooster, Golden Globe, Huabiao, Oscars, etc.

Essentially, the United States does not have the concept of co-production films, but they do have the concept of local films.

Local films certainly enjoy their global distribution network and can be released simultaneously around the world. This is also one of the reasons why the film industry is located in the United States.

The previous "Gravity" was not released simultaneously around the world, but was released in different time zones in multiple regions at different times, some a few days apart, and some a week apart.

There's nothing you can do about it; imported films will be censored.

Many of them are political factors. A strong country is necessary for everything. If it is not strong, no matter how much you say, it will be in vain.

Just like Jiang Wen said, let’s build the aircraft carrier first. When our aircraft carrier can reach other people’s doorsteps, that will be the time when our movies rule the world.

American movies are terrible, but the whole world is willing to accept them because they have aircraft carriers to back them up.

It is a fact that any form of output must be backed by strong political power.

The big guys have basically reached an agreement on "The Martian", and the budget is about 100 million US dollars. This is just the budget, and they will add more if it's not enough.

Most of the behind-the-scenes team members are Chinese. Universal provides financial and technical support, and also invites two famous Hollywood actors to come.

After all, this movie is shot in China and will not be filmed abroad, because there are places similar to "alien surfaces" in China.

In the desert Gobi of the Western Regions, there are steep rock pillars and gullies of various shapes and sizes, as well as reddish-brown sandstone.

As well as wind-eroded rock pillars and castle-like mountains, they are also very similar to the surface of Mars.

Although the landscape and topography are similar to those of outer space, these places are uninhabited, and it would be very difficult for the crew of thousands of people to eat, drink, defecate, urinate, live and travel.

Therefore, you need to communicate with the local government in advance. Without local help, many things cannot be accomplished.

Moreover, the weather is bad. Without a safety officer, you don’t know when a sandstorm will come and what to do if it comes.

It is said that the temperature difference between day and night is very large in that place, so you have to wear short sleeves during the day and a cotton jacket at night, which is very uncomfortable.

When the locals in the Western Region heard that the principal was going to shoot a movie here and spend hundreds of millions of dollars here, they immediately made arrangements to make contact as long as they provided guarantees.

Send people to help find suitable filming locations and arrange material support.

"The Martian" will start filming in September, just in time for the beginning of autumn, avoiding the hottest desert and completing filming in the coldest winter.

A lot of things for this movie were prepared in advance, and all Jiang Zhiqiang had to do was coordinate.

To put it bluntly, it is about solving problems, solving communication and coordination problems, solving external political problems, and solving publicity and promotion problems.

The creative team of more than a thousand people on "The Martian" held meetings of all sizes to ensure the smooth progress of the project and filming on schedule.

On August 8th, Liu Tianxian's fans celebrated her birthday as usual, as they do every year. Fans from all over the country placed posters, gave flowers, made the scene warm and romantic, and then took photos and posted them online to celebrate her birthday.

The internet is also full of birthday photos of certain fan clubs. This is a memorable day for Liu Tianxian’s fans and also a day for them to gather together.

Of course, there are also fans who specifically go to Liu Tianxian’s Weibo to wish her a “Happy Birthday”!
However, these did not cause any waves. Her fans' birthday celebrations were limited to the circle of fans.

Passersby just took a look and didn't react.

At this time, several reports appeared on the Internet, and then more and more reports appeared.

"Exclusive! Liu Tianxian and the principal were spotted at the Hong Kong Ocean Park. She showed up with long hair, sunglasses and black clothes, and her temperament was extraordinary!"

"Surprise! Liu Tianxian was spotted in Hong Kong, wearing a black sweater and looking relaxed and casual! She was very close to the principal."

"I laughed so hard, the MTR reported that Liu Tianxian bit her finger while playing with the principal."

"The scene of the fairy sister biting her finger was captured! Liu Tianxian: Don’t I have any face?"

For a time, such headline articles accompanied by several pictures flooded the Internet, and the news of the two people appearing in Hong Kong also became a hot topic.

The most searched topic is "Liu Tianxian bites her finger". Such actions and pictures are both cute and casual, and netizens love to watch them.

Many pictures of the two of them were taken by passers-by, including pictures of them shopping on the street, walking side by side, talking and laughing.

The two of them were also watching golden monkeys together in the Ocean Park. Liu Tianxian looked at Fang Hong pointing at a photo in the distance.

Of course, there are also solo photos of Liu Tianxian, which is the photo of her biting her fingers.

In every photo, Liu Tianxian has long hair, black sunglasses and a black sweatshirt, and she has a great temperament.

Both of them seemed very relaxed and casual. They didn't seem to mind being photographed or other people's eyes. They just had fun by themselves.

"Humph! These two are really something. They didn't even take me with them when they went on a trip to Hong Kong!"

"If I bring you along, you'll become a light bulb. How can we still be in love?"

"It's been so long, and it's finally out."

"It's been so long since we finally saw them together." "They are so in love. I hope they can stay together for a long time and not get divorced in two years."

“Yes, bless them.”

"A beautiful woman can be spotted at a glance in a crowd."

“There aren’t many people, otherwise it would definitely be jammed!”

"Happy Birthday Sissi!"

"Principal, please take good care of my Sissi."

The incident between the two attracted a large number of netizens and fans, with all kinds of comments, including blessings and wishing Liu Tianxian a happy birthday.

Of course, they still felt a little upset because the principal had seduced their goddess away.

The reason why it caused such a big sensation is that this is the first time the two have appeared together after their marriage, and it is also the first time they have been together in such a long time.

So it became unprecedentedly popular for a while and became one of the hottest topics on the Internet.

Of course, no matter how hot it is, it is not as hot as the recent quarrel between Xiao Wang and Mango TV. The two sides cursed each other back and forth, and even the General Administration was dismissed.

Here's what happened. Mango TV has a reality show called "Here Comes the Idols", which invited well-known veteran actresses such as Brigitte Lin, Athena Chu, and Ada Choi to participate.

After the show was broadcast, some viewers questioned its segment design, saying it was very similar to the Korean variety show "Heroes".

Including the guest grouping and interaction mode, they are extremely similar.

So Xiao Wang, who claims to be the "Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Entertainment Circle", forwarded the media's criticism of "Idol Coming" for plagiarism, and wrote on his blog: "It's really plagiarism that I don't even understand."

He also satirized Mango TV for liking to plagiarize and rehash old stuff.

Some even use the term "copyright cancer" to criticize domestic TV stations for their lack of originality, which has a wide range of impact.

But netizens love to watch the fights, and it was quite lively for a while.

Then a deputy director of Mango TV named Tang, who is in charge of publicity, posted a message on Weibo to fight back: "You have no say on what is good or bad! Beauty becomes more beautiful when surrounded by ugliness and evil! Get the hell out of here! Go home and take care of your own little piece of land! Stop cheating your father!"

Who is Xiao Wang? This is undoubtedly a scolding pointing at his nose. He certainly can't stand it and quickly hit back: "Does your station feel superior after copying? Even the response is so low-level."

The verbal battle between the two naturally escalated the situation, and it became a hot topic, attracting many media reports and interviews.

The man surnamed Tang continued to confront the media, saying, "Chinese variety shows need room to grow. Learning from others does not mean plagiarism. Some people are talking without thinking, which is not constructive to the industry at all."

Xiao Wang continued to refute: "From "Where Are We Going, Dad" to "Idols Are Coming", which one bought the original content? If you bought the copyright, just admit it, don't be hypocritical. The man surnamed Tang: Don't whitewash plagiarism, your professional ethics are worrying!"

Then Mango TV came out to defend its shortcomings and said in person: "Take care of your own little piece of land!"

What I mean is, it’s none of your business, just copy it.

Netizens are also polarized. Those who support Xiao Wang believe that he has exposed the chaos in the industry and protected copyright, especially pointing out the "cover-up" behavior of senior TV station executives.

Those who support Mango TV think that Xiao Wang is being hypocritical because his family business Wanda has been involved in copyright disputes before.

Wanda was involved in a copyright dispute because the Nanchang Wanda Park was accused of plagiarizing Disney.

After Wanda acquired Swiss Sports & Media Group, the copyrights of football and Winter Olympics events represented by this company had caused contract disputes.

Anyway, there have been a lot of copyright disputes recently, and it seems like they were premeditated and broke out in the past few years.

This is a very normal thing. Capital is vigorously developing content copyrights. If you develop, I will develop too. If you don't have it and I do, we will start to restrict each other, and conflicts will naturally arise.

This is also a disguised way of blocking the road, making it impossible for latecomers to rise through content.

Because the price of copyright is high, the threshold for content is also high. If you create your own video platform, you have to be able to afford the copyright first.

The reason why TikTok was able to rise in the past and later was because it was created by users, and this has led to many copyright disputes.

Copyright wars are surging in all fields. Fang Hong doesn't want to fight and wants to live an ordinary life. There is really no way. He has to deal with it early since he is in the situation.

They always say that he has many enemies and makes enemies everywhere. He hasn't attacked anyone for a long time. Have those capitalists stopped? No, they are still attacking each other.

Is it possible to have peace in a corner?

No, in the early days of the dynasty, unification was the general trend. It was in their bones. People would not stop until they could no longer expand.

Xiao Wang and Mango TV cursed loudly, pushing the matter to the forefront for a while. The General Administration stepped in and required all major satellite TV stations to clearly mark the source of the program copyright.

This is another event that promotes copyright regulations!

But "Where Are We Going, Dad?" is authorized by Yutu, which made netizens turn their attention to Yutu, that is, the principal.

"The principal is a repeat offender." This is what Xiao Wang said about him on Weibo.

It can be said that Xiao Wang is really arrogant. His father was scolded by the principal before, and now he is trying to make trouble for his father.

But it seemed that the principal had never paid any attention to this person, and he seemed to be disdainful of this person.

However, a spokesperson for Yutu came out to clarify: "Where Are We Going, Dad?" purchased the copyright through legal channels and there is no plagiarism.

You can ignore Mr. Wang, but the General Administration requires it to be marked.
