"This is really unexpected! Daxu Culture was actually filmed and completed by Longsheng Film and Television first, haha!"
"Yeah, before, it was only those knock-offs who messed with other people's mentality, but this time it's the other way around..."
"It has to be said that Daxu Culture is really impressive. They finished filming a drama in just twenty days. Their strength is not simple."
Moreover, with Director Xu's backing, the quality of this film won't be too bad in order to avoid damaging its reputation.
"That's right. If the quality is too poor and it damages the reputation, then it's better not to get angry with Longsheng Film and Television."
...
"Now it depends on how long the post-production work at Daxu Culture will take. The shorter the time, the better the chance."
"Because now that Longsheng Film and Television has also learned the news, they will definitely try their best to catch up in order to make money..."
"That's right! If we don't catch up, the bandits will suffer huge losses this time."
"As is customary, post-production in Longsheng usually doesn't take much time, so there's still a lot of competition between the two sides."
"I have to say, only Director Xu could push Long Sheng to this point. No one else can do that."
...
At this moment, a group of people in the industry were also shocked by this news.
Originally, everyone thought they would see Daxu Culture being fooled by that counterfeit product.
But unexpectedly, things seemed to take a turn for the better.
If a typical film and television company encounters Longsheng Film and Television, they can only accept their bad luck if their films are copied.
Because with their filming and post-production efficiency, they simply cannot compete with the speed of the knock-offs.
But this time, Daxu Culture actually launched this challenge...
That's right!
Many people believe that Daxu Culture's high-profile announcement of the completion of filming for its new drama is itself a declaration of war.
It's to tell Longsheng Film and Television that our speed is evident, so let any copycats come and try!
Now that Longsheng Film & Television is "on the verge of action and has no choice but to act," they will definitely be racing against time.
This forces Daxu Culture to maintain high efficiency in post-production processing.
Because everyone knows that places like Longsheng Film and Television, which started by copying other people's films, have an extremely impressive post-production efficiency.
It's not that it's amazing in the sense of being 'fast and good'.
All those copycats care about is speed.
Because it's a knock-off film, it's just using a gimmick to try and attract viewers from the original.
So all they need to do is rely on highly similar movie titles, various high-quality imitation posters, and the speed of their early release to attract viewers, and that's it.
This is simply a one-off deal; there's no expectation of repeat customers, and the audience's opinion doesn't even matter.
It's easy to imagine how fast these knock-offs' post-production work will be.
Some insiders speculate that these guys' post-production skills are even equivalent to those of individual bloggers on social media.
It means shooting videos every day and then editing them in one night.
Therefore, although Daxu Culture announced the completion of filming for the new drama, industry insiders believe that things are only taking a turn for the better.
As for whether they can turn the tide, no one knows for sure.
...
In fact, not only these industry insiders think so, but everyone within Daxu Culture also feels this way.
So when our CEO Xu called Feng Xiaoxia over and told him to arrange for the release of 'A Chinese Ghost Story' immediately, Feng Xiaoxia was stunned.
It took him a while to come to his senses, and he still said in disbelief:
"Mr. Xu, did I hear that right? What did you just say? You're planning to release 'A Chinese Ghost Story'?"
"That's right, is there a problem?"
Xu Lu answered casually.
This is a huge problem!
Although he didn't dare to say it aloud, Feng Xiaoxia secretly added a comment in his mind.
You should know that at this time yesterday, the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was just announced to be completed by the very Mr. Xu in front of me.
Only one day has passed, and you've already told me to prepare for the film's release.
Isn't this pace a little too fast?
We're not the kind of company that produces knock-offs; we can't afford to make shoddy films.
Otherwise, if the reputation is ruined, the impact will be far more than just a bad movie.
"President Xu was probably so angered by Longsheng Film and Television that he made some irrational decisions!"
After his mind raced, Feng Xiaoxia suddenly had an idea.
This made his expression change, and he thought to himself:
"No, I must dissuade him at this time. We absolutely cannot let President Xu act recklessly."
The consequences of a bad movie are ten or even a hundred times more terrifying than being copied; that would be a disaster.
Having thought this through, Feng Xiaoxia made his decision.
He looked at Xu Lu with a firm gaze, then shook his head and refused:
"No! Mr. Xu, we absolutely cannot do that. Doing so would be irresponsible to the audience."
You should know that the prestigious reputation of Daxu Culture today was built by your one masterpiece after another.
It's been hard-won, so we don't need to ruin our reputation just to spite Longsheng Film and Television..."
"Little hero, what are you saying?"
Xu Lu was completely stunned when he heard this.
Asking the other party to handle the screening arrangements is a very simple matter.
Why is the other party reacting so strongly, even saying things like "irresponsible to the audience"?
"Mr. Xu, what I mean is, we shouldn't sacrifice quality just to compete with Longsheng Film and Television in terms of speed!"
Despite being 'questioned', Feng Xiaoxia remained steadfast in his opinion.
Our General Manager Xu was a bit speechless and could only say:
"Um... Xiaoxia, why do you think I've abandoned quality?"
"But...but, Director Xu, our drama only wrapped up filming yesterday. You're asking me to handle the release now? Isn't that obviously sacrificing quality?"
Feng Xiaoxia explained his reasoning.
Xu Lu smiled and said:
"So, you think it's impossible to handle post-production and special effects in just one day?"
"Of course not! Although I don't know who you found to do this job, it will still take at least a week, no matter how fast it is, right?"
"Besides editing the footage, there's also post-production dubbing for the actors, plus a lot of special effects to do in our new drama. How can one day be enough?"
Feng Xiaoxia nodded.
Xu Lu smiled, handed a USB drive to the other person, and said:
"Whether you have enough time or not, go to the screening room and watch the finished film and you'll know."
Oh, and remember to take care of the release arrangements after you finish watching it, the sooner the better!
Looking at the USB drive in my hand, I saw the 'complete files' that Mr. Xu had mentioned earlier.
But Feng Xiaoxia still couldn't believe that the post-production of 'A Chinese Ghost Story' could be completed in just one day.
So, although it seemed a bit impolite, he nodded and hurriedly ran into the screening room.
