"It's always been us at Longsheng Film and Television who disgust others, how dare others disgust us?"
DaXu Culture seriously underestimates our mental fortitude. Do they really think a single piece of fake news can throw us into disarray?
Qian Benjing chuckled, his eyes full of contempt.
I have endured so much suffering to get to where I am today, how could I be scared by a piece of fake news?
Furthermore...
Longsheng Film & Television started by copying other people's films. When it comes to disgusting methods, Longsheng is the master!
Compared to Qian Benjing's confidence, Xiao Guangshan was much more impetuous.
He couldn't help but feel a little worried:
"Old Qian, are you sure this is fake news? What if they really have already finished filming? Wouldn't we be at a loss?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Benjing said with absolute certainty:
"Mr. Xiao, just relax! You'd be better off getting a shoulder massage to relax instead!"
After all, their Daxu Culture production team has only been established for a few days, how can they claim that their new drama has already finished filming?
We've only filmed half of our scenes so far. It will take at least twenty days to finish filming everything.
You don't think their films from Da Xu Culture are any less sloppy than ours, do you? So there's absolutely nothing to worry about.
"But if such news has been spread, it can't be baseless, right?"
Xiao Guangshan was still somewhat uneasy.
After all, he had invested real money in it.
Even though the film crew made a knock-off, it still had to have a budget.
Filming, labor, equipment, location... which of these doesn't cost money?
It's just that it requires less investment than the original blockbuster, but you still want it.
Otherwise, anyone could get involved in this industry.
Instead of the current situation where only Longsheng Film and Television benefits from the spoils.
Upon hearing Xiao Guangshan's concerns, Qian Benjing offered words of comfort:
"Mr. Xiao, there's really no need to worry too much. Not to mention, it's impossible to shoot a legitimate film in twenty days."
After all, we are experts, and we can't be fooled by just any rumor.
Okay, even if Daxu Culture has already filmed the footage for the main feature, they still need to do post-production, right?
The time required for post-production is by no means shorter than that for pre-production, including special effects, voice-over, music, editing, etc.
At this point, Qian Benjing smiled calmly and said:
"So even if the news is true, we don't need to worry. I'll just keep the timing under control."
Try to get all the footage shot within half a month; that will make things much faster.
I don't believe that the post-production processing efficiency of those regular film and television companies can be faster than ours!
Hearing this, Xiao Guangshan calmed down a bit and said:
"That puts my mind at ease. Old Qian, you must speed things up."
I don't know what's wrong, but my eyelids have been twitching lately, and I have a bad feeling about it..."
Upon hearing this, Qian Benjing quickly interrupted:
"Stop, stop! Mr. Xiao, I will definitely take it to heart."
But at this time, you shouldn't say such discouraging things; it really doesn't feel lucky!
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. Anyway, you can take care of everything."
Xiao Guangshan realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly raised his hand.
...
In fact, Longsheng Film and Television is not the only company paying close attention to Daxu Culture's every move.
For example, Xiong Tang, who considers himself a long-time rival of Da Xu Culture, also received the news of the completion of filming for 'A Chinese Ghost Story' immediately.
This explosive news was like a bolt from the blue for Mr. Xiong, who had previously gloated over Daxu Culture's losses.
"Xu's new drama has already wrapped up filming? Did I hear that right? It's wrapped up in less than a month?"
Xiong Tang looked bewildered, and even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.
However, the person who came to report the situation quickly gave an affirmative answer, saying:
"Mr. Xiong, this is news from within Daxu Culture. 'A Chinese Ghost Story' did indeed wrap up filming this morning."
"Oh no!"
Upon hearing this, Xiong Tang suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed in surprise:
"Since Daxu Culture finished filming the main feature so quickly, doesn't that mean it has a chance to be released even faster than Longsheng Film and Television?"
If their film is even faster than that knock-off 'Pretty Ghost', then...wouldn't they avoid any losses?
Thinking about this, Xiong Tang became very unhappy.
So all that excitement I had earlier was for nothing.
I originally thought that Daxu Culture would suffer heavy losses this time, but I didn't expect things to turn out this way.
Fortunately, Xiong Tang quickly suppressed his frustration and thought to himself:
"However, it's too early to say. Although Daxu Culture finished filming the main feature earlier than that knock-off, their post-production processing is definitely not as haphazard as that of the knock-off."
So if the copycats step up their efforts after hearing the news, they still have a chance to get a piece of the pie. Even then, Da Xu Culture will still suffer losses, haha…”
Having figured this out, Xiong Tang finally felt much better.
He secretly hoped that Longsheng Film and Television, which started as a knock-off, would deliver a strong performance this time.
Although in the past, Xiong Tang also disliked these knock-offs.
However, this time, the counterfeiters and Daxu Culture have clashed, and Xiongtang's stance is on the side of the counterfeiters.
...
There was another person who sided with the knock-offs, and that was the renowned director Zhao Fu.
He was extremely agitated when he learned that Daxu Culture's new drama had been plagiarized.
