"Hahahaha, that kid Xu Lu has finally met his match! This is hilarious, hahahaha!"
Upon hearing the news, Xiong Tang, who was on Xia Lifei's side, burst into laughter, bending over with mirth.
For a long time, Xia Lifei Film and Television, where he works, has been suppressed by Daxu Culture and has never been able to find a way to surpass it.
The continuation of this situation has made Xiong Tang feel quite depressed lately.
Last year, during the zombie movie war, Xia Lifei was one of the few companies that did not lose money.
However, compared to the huge profits made by Daxu Culture, Xia Lifei Film and Television pales in comparison.
As a long-time rival, Xiong Tang had no choice but to hope that the Xu kid from Da Xu Culture would suffer the consequences.
I thought there was no chance left.
Who knew that today he would hear some good news?
Daxu Culture's new drama "A Chinese Ghost Story" has been copied by someone else.
Although this incident does not bring any benefit to Xia Lifei Film and Television, the key point is that it can cause losses to Daxu Culture.
Seeing his opponent suffer makes Xiong Tang feel quite satisfied:
"I had heard of this company before, which started by copying others, but I had never paid much attention to it."
Unexpectedly, this company actually helped me this time, hahaha, let's go find the knockoffs!
"It would be best to steal all their traffic; that would probably infuriate that kid surnamed Xu!"
Thinking of this, Xiong Tang's eyes suddenly lit up, and a flash of inspiration struck him:
"Yes, although Xia Lifei Film and Television can't compare with Daxu Culture now, they still have some disgusting tricks up their sleeves."
For example, I could easily set up a subsidiary company to specifically copy Daxu Culture's films.
Since 'A Chinese Ghost Story' can be transformed into 'Beautiful Ghost Story'.
That could also be transformed into 'Beautiful Ghost' or 'Pretty Ghost'.
It's said that the company that specializes in copying other people's blockbusters has always been profitable...
...
Xiong Tang wasn't the only one secretly pleased to see Daxu Culture suffer.
For example, Zhao Fu, who currently has no acting opportunities and spends his days keeping an eye on industry developments, is also extremely happy at this moment:
"Serves him right! I never thought that kid surnamed Xu would end up like this. It's truly gratifying!"
Zhao Fu slapped his thigh and exclaimed in admiration:
"Director Qian is really smart; he actually chose to take a different approach and succeeded."
This time, they tied themselves to Daxu Culture, like parasites.
The films that will be produced will be completely 'leeching off' Da Xu Culture's films...
As the director, Zhao Fu certainly understood all of this.
Qian Benjing and Xiao Guangshan's counterfeit methods are, to put it bluntly, a form of 'parasitic marketing'.
It is unclear who the host they chose was.
But this time, these parasites chose Daxu Culture as their host.
By 'parasitizing', they can effortlessly ride the coattails of Da Xu Culture's popularity, our Director Xu's popularity, and the popularity of the new drama 'A Chinese Ghost Story'.
Once their knock-off drama "Pretty Ghost" is released, it will be like the parasite is about to mature.
In order to obtain 'nutrients', the parasite will inevitably cause great losses to the host, and in severe cases, it may even lead to the death of the host.
This is the characteristic of parasitism!
Because if it's mutually beneficial, then it's not 'parasitism' but 'symbiosis'.
"It's no wonder that someone surnamed Xu has been parasitized and has caused me to end up in this situation!"
"It would be even better if Director Qian and his team could completely steal all the hype from 'A Chinese Ghost Story'!"
Zhao Fu cursed inwardly.
Moreover, this news was the most uplifting news he had seen recently.
So he plans to keep an eye on it until he sees Daxu Culture suffer heavy losses in this 'parasitic marketing'.
...
However, just as there are unscrupulous individuals, there are also people with sound values.
For example, Director Xu's fans are already filled with righteous indignation:
[Holy crap, Director Xu's film is called "A Chinese Ghost Story," and they call it "Pretty Girl Ghost Story"? How can that even work?]
This is so immoral! How could they do something like this? Everyone should be careful.
These knock-off films are just a way to scam us out of our money; don't fall for it.
Exactly! As long as everyone makes sure they don't get scammed, these scammers' schemes won't succeed.
Speechless. I've been scammed like this before. When I search for a scammer, all that pops up are fake versions.
Of course, I didn't know that until I finished watching it with great interest, and then I realized something was wrong; it was disgusting.
...
[Seriously, can't we take this to the law and let the police arrest them?]
[It will probably be very difficult. They can say it's just a similar title, or at most, a moral failing.]
Are 'A Chinese Ghost Story' and 'Pretty Girl Ghost Story' just similar in title?
If you're not careful, it's impossible to tell the difference between good and bad, and the meanings are almost identical...
My biggest worry is that if this doesn't deter these petty thieves, they'll become even more arrogant.
...
In fact, Feng Xiaoxia, the chief producer of Daxu Culture, also had this concern.
At that moment, he told Xu Lu about the situation, saying:
"Mr. Xu, although it may not have a significant impact, we should still make our voices heard."
