"From now on, anyone who dares to suggest films that are blatant imitations of Da Xu Culture, can get out of here..."
As for Longsheng Film and Television, there has been no news from the outside world.
However, inside the company, CEO Xiao Guangshan was furious.
As for the cause, it was because someone in the company suggested to him that since Daxu Culture's new drama "God of Gamblers" had been completed, Longsheng Film and Television should continue to copy it.
This suggestion startled Xiao Guangshan and angered him.
He still vividly remembered the "Pretty Ghost" incident; the project had resulted in heavy losses.
As a result, almost all the money they had earned before was invested, and no profit was generated.
Even the two founders of Longsheng had a falling out, and Qian Benjing, the chief director, was directly kicked out by Xiao Guangshan.
Now that he's heard someone suggesting he copy Da Xu Culture's stuff, it's no wonder Xiao Guangshan is furious.
He no longer wanted to have anything to do with Daxu Culture.
Even if they were to create a high-quality imitation of those flops, they wouldn't choose to copy films from Da Xu Culture.
Even if Da Xu Culture's films are very successful at the box office, that's a privilege reserved for legitimate copyright holders.
If you dare to pirate or counterfeit, they won't give you any way out.
After hearing Xiao Guangshan's angry outburst, the employees below gradually came to their senses.
Although they are not in charge of the household, they don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt.
But we also know that our progress was surpassed by the official version last time.
Clearly, Daxu Culture is not the kind of thing they can easily copy.
Otherwise, CEO Xiao Guangshan wouldn't be so furious at this moment.
The employees of Longsheng Film & Television were discussing this extensively:
"Seriously, who would be so brainless as to suggest to the boss that we copy Daxu Culture? Wouldn't that be like walking into a trap?"
"Yes, I heard that our last high-quality replica of 'Pretty Ghost' suffered heavy losses because of Director Qian's misjudgment."
"That's right, Daxu Culture's 'A Chinese Ghost Story' was released earlier than ours."
"To be honest, I even went to see the official version of the movie, and it was really good. What kind of garbage is ours!"
...
"Hehe, Director Qian and President Xiao parted ways because of Daxu Culture. Who dares to mention this now?"
"I think we can just copy other film companies' productions. As for Daxu Culture, let's not touch it."
"That's right, this company is too strange, and that Director Xu is too strange."
The official version was filmed faster than the knock-off; I'd never heard of such a thing before.
"It seems that President Xiao has learned his lesson. In fact, if he hadn't, I think Longsheng wouldn't be far from going bankrupt."
...
On the other side.
After Daxu Culture's "God of Gamblers" production team was officially established, the list of actors playing various roles was also released.
Netizens were shocked after seeing this:
"I didn't make any guesses. Our Director Xu is a self-directed and self-acted director, but I didn't expect the female lead to be Wang Zuxian again."
But who's the other one of the two main characters? Feng Xiaoxia? I've never heard of that name before. Is he a newcomer?
"He has indeed never appeared in public. I don't know if he is a new actor promoted by Daxu Culture."
"This Feng Xiaoxia is so lucky! He debuted in Director Xu's movie and was one of the two main characters."
"Yeah, now that 'God of Gamblers' is out, Feng Xiaoxia is going to be a star..."
...
"I thought the other main character would be a top-tier celebrity in the industry, but I didn't expect..."
However, this approach is understandable, since working with Director Xu means the star's status can't be low.
On the contrary, choosing a newcomer now is more cost-effective and more beneficial for the entire team!
"Um, I think I've heard the name Feng Xiaoxia somewhere before."
The feeling was very familiar, but I couldn't quite place it for a moment.
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, didn't you guys notice? This Feng Xiaoxia used to be a producer!"
I just did a search, and all the blockbuster films produced by Daxu Culture since its establishment were produced by this Feng Xiaoxia.
"Wow! I just checked it out too, it's true."
So, one of the two main characters in this God of Gamblers story is actually a cameo role played by a producer from Da Xu Culture?
...
Those within the industry are actually more sensitive to this news.
Almost as soon as the information about the production team from Daxu Culture was released, these people in the industry figured out the entire cast and crew list.
Of course, everyone was also quite surprised that producer Feng would be making a cameo appearance as "Knife" in "God of Gamblers":
"I have to say, Director Xu's choice was really bold."
"Yes, although Producer Feng is well-known in the industry, he hasn't acted in a movie yet, right?"
This time, they directly gave him a leading role; most people probably wouldn't dare to do that!
"Hahaha, as expected of Director Xu, it's not enough for him to be the director and play the lead role, now he's dragged the producer down with him, it's really unexpected."
"It was a bold attempt, but I don't think Director Xu would do something he wasn't sure of."
Past events have shown that once Director Xu makes a decision, the success rate is often frighteningly high.
...
"Besides producer Feng, the female lead is Wang Zuxian. This young girl is about to become a huge star."
"That's right! Such continuous praise is something only Liu Yifei has received before."
