"How to Train Your Dragon" branch in China.
Manager Clark sat in his office, looking very pleased with himself.
Originally, according to the head office, "How to Train Your Dragon" was to follow the conventional promotional route.
This is the same in all countries, but when Clark fully understood the Chinese market, he found that if the same conventional promotion was used, the effect might be greatly reduced.
The reason is "Lost on Journey" produced by Caidie Culture and Entertainment.
Because of the influence of "Dying to Survive", this movie has become unprecedentedly popular. Even if "How to Train Your Dragon" is the world's first 3D movie, it is difficult to gain an advantage.
He hadn't thought of any good ideas until he participated in the Oscars.
I wrote this copy after I accidentally heard that "Lost on Journey" lost to "Way Down East" by the famous Chinese screenwriter John.
Of course, Clark knew the details, but so what?
Rumors can melt gold!
When it comes to rumors, most netizens do not distinguish between right and wrong.
Because they only support what they like, such as the comments below Weibo:
"I thought Caidie Culture and Entertainment would turn over a new leaf after changing its owner.
Now it seems that it is just that, thanks to the information provided by the official "How to Train Your Dragon", I can really see the company clearly."
"Yeah, there's a lot of plagiarism going on. 'Dying to Survive' was originally a good film, but what has it become now?"
"My countrymen know shame, and I disdain to associate with them."
"To test jade, one must burn it for three days, and to identify the material, one must wait seven years. Finally, the fox's tail is revealed."
“…”
Various sarcastic remarks emerged one after another, and soon 3,000 buildings were built, and Caidie Culture and Entertainment was instantly wiped out.
Of course, there were people who spoke out for Lost on Journey, but these comments were deleted by How to Train Your Dragon.
With a smug look on his face, Clark opened the pre-sale box office and his eyes lit up instantly.
Because the box office of "How to Train Your Dragon" has increased from the original 40 million to the current 58 million, an increase of nearly one-third.
But the next moment, he was stunned.
What's going on?
The pre-sale price, which was originally 58 million, suddenly dropped to 56 million, and is still falling.
The assistant rushed in and said, "Manager, this is bad. The Caidie official has spoken."
Official statement from Caidie?
Clark was stunned and quickly opened Caidie's Weibo, then he was stunned.
Colorful Butterfly Official:
"Family, I just saw the information about How to Train Your Dragon and they said Lost on Journey was plagiarized.
It's ridiculous. This is the first time I've seen someone cry "stop thief" like this.
The reason for "How to Train Your Dragon" is that some of the plots of "Lost on Journey" are very similar to a foreign script.
If that's the case, then can I say that "How to Train Your Dragon" is actually plagiarizing us?
Stop trolling me, I have evidence.
These are the posters released for "How to Train Your Dragon", which contain pictures of five different dragons.
In fact, when I first saw these pictures, I felt very familiar.
Aren’t they exactly five of the eight types of dragons described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
The eight kinds of dragons in "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are Zhulong, Yinglong, Qinglong, Kuilong, Jiaolong, Qiulong, Panlong and Jinlong.
The five pictures of "How to Train Your Dragon" correspond to Zhulong, Qinglong, Kuilong, Jiaolong and Panlong respectively.
I'm not saying this on purpose, you see!"
Below are thirty-nine pictures, including ancient paintings and stone carvings.
The ancient paintings and stone carvings all have their origins marked, some are from the Qing Dynasty, some are from the Ming Dynasty, some are from the Tang Dynasty, and even some are from the Qin and Han Dynasties.
The appearance of these ancient stone dragons is surprisingly 90% similar to the five posters of "How to Train Your Dragon".
Colorful Butterfly Official:
"I don't need to explain the rest, right? How to Train Your Dragon plagiarized the wisdom of our ancestors.
Not only did they plagiarize, they also specifically marked it as a 3D movie and said it was immersive.
Ladies and gentlemen, this clearly shows that you think the people of our country are still as gullible and can be bullied as they were a hundred years ago.
But let me tell you: you are wrong.
As a trend-setter of the new era, I can admit that your technology is indeed superior to mine, I do need to learn from your experience, and your management methods are indeed more advanced than mine.
But you can't treat me as a fool, can you?
We are just a little bit behind, and in the near future, I believe we will catch up and surpass you!
Having said so much, finally, as an official of Caidie, I urge everyone to watch the movie rationally.
Don't let those with ulterior motives make money and then be called idiots!"
Below are all the support from people from all walks of life:
"Well said. I was kind of interested in 3D, but now I don't have to watch it!"
"Support Lost on Journey, tickets for How to Train Your Dragon have been refunded."
"Same with the refund. What I hate most is some people showing off by using our ancestors' things."
“…”
Clark's face turned green.
He thought that even if Caidie officials spoke out, it would be to defend their own movie.
Unexpectedly, the other party did not mention "Lost on Journey" at all, but instead used the national justice to confront him.
Isn't it just a reference to your design? Is it necessary to make such a big deal about it?
When he refreshed the box office pre-sale again, it had changed from 56 million to 51 million, and was about to fall below the 5,000 mark.
In contrast, the box office of "Lost on Journey" has increased from 20 million to 32 million.
In other words, those who returned "How to Train Your Dragon" bought "Lost on Journey" instead?
