"Are these grandsons crazy?"
In the conference room, looking at the picture on the big screen, Chu Wen shouted angrily, losing her composure and swearing.
A few hours ago.
Star Films released a real-time announcement of a new movie.
Their new movie "I'm Such a Prodigal Son" is currently being filmed and has been announced to be released during the Spring Festival.
The cast of this movie is huge, with two Best Actor and three Best Actress, it is as luxurious as it can be.
Judging from the poster, the plot is about showing off wealth, with private jets and yachts, giving the impression that the man is rich enough to rival a country and has many beautiful women.
As for the director, he is a newcomer who was not well-known in the industry before and is a mixed-race person who just returned from abroad.
A bit strange.
But if you think about it carefully, this is normal.
After all, any director who cares about his reputation would not do such a thing, which is blatant plagiarism.
But for newcomers, it doesn’t matter.
It’s done. I became a god in one battle. All the following and plagiarism can be dealt with through public relations.
If I lose, I have nothing to lose anyway.
Sitting in the chair, looking at the picture on the big screen thoughtfully, thinking about these things, Lu Hao was speechless.
His face was expressionless, but he wanted to laugh inside.
It's an indescribable feeling.
I don't feel aggrieved nor angry, I just want to laugh.
I'm already a plagiarist!
Are you guys still copying me?
Do you have any shame?
You are poisonous!
…
"Mr. Lu, we've already filed a complaint with the Film Guild, and they've already responded, saying the two films only share the same subject matter, not the plot or characters, so they've ruled our complaint invalid."
A staff member from the Ministry of Justice stood up and spoke, his brows furrowed tightly and his face extremely serious.
This kind of thing is actually not uncommon.
It can even be said to be common.
After "Overlord" became popular, there were dozens of follow-up films. Although some of them failed at the box office, some of them still made money.
From a purely commercial perspective, it is a smart move to see a market gap, rush in with capital, and quickly divide up the market.
But this time, the way he ate was too ugly.
"The Richest Man in Xihong City" has not yet been released, but some people have already taken action.
Moreover, it is an old rival, Starry Sky Film and Television.
This is a complete show of strength.
"Mr. Lu, also, the singer Zhou Junhua, whom we had previously hired, has also sent us a termination agreement, stating that he has something urgent to do and cannot participate in the filming. The liquidated damages will be paid as usual."
"According to what I've heard from industry insiders, Zhou Junhua was poached by Star Films to participate in the filming of their movie. His agency has a close relationship with Star Films."
Another bad news.
Hearing this, Lu Hao was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
Many thoughts popped up in my mind.
The situation is worse than I imagined.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was a little heavy.
Several main actors and crew members all looked very unhappy.
Starry Sky Film and Television, we have to face this head-on.
It would be a lie to say I'm not panicking.
If Starry Sky Film and Television, one of the nine giants, really dares to target a small start-up company, the destructive power will definitely be enormous.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Lu Hao's face.
"Can a replacement actor be found?"
Lu Hao asked.
Ignore the big picture and take care of the small issues first.
Zhou Junhua stood up the contract. Let’s put the breach of contract aside for now, as the progress of the film cannot be delayed.
"We looked around, but it wasn't easy to find anyone of the right stature. The schedules were almost always full."
"Also, I heard rumors that Star Pictures has issued an internal ban on us and has contacted many artists, asking them to refuse to work with us."
Boom!
Chen Si sat in his seat with his head buried in his arms. When he heard this, he couldn't help but hit his bald head hard on the table.
A familiar feeling.
The nightmare feeling came again.
He had experienced this kind of thing once before.
The last director who was “audacious” enough to find a director to make his own movie ended up with his company going bankrupt and was heavily in debt.
And now, where is Lu Hao?
He couldn't help but look up at Lu Hao, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
"The Richest Man in Xihong City" has been filmed for more than half, and huge sums of money have been invested. It is impossible to give up at this time.
Otherwise, the compensation would be too much.
Not only will you lose money, but you are more likely to lose face and never recover.
The opponent was defeated before he even made a move. In the future, when looking for actors for a play, they will have to consider the risks.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Lu Hao shook his head and smiled.
"Okay, since they want to fight, then let's fight. During the Spring Festival period, we will defeat them fairly."
"If you can't find a singer, I'll perform."
"This movie relies on the plot and everyone. It can't be supported by the popularity of one or two people."
"Keep filming."
…
Lu Hao was not angry about the plagiarized subject matter.
I also feel that I have no right to be angry.
Being poached.
I'm a little angry.
As for hearing about the internal ban, I became even more angry.
Ban?
Kill your mother!
Dry!
In short, Mr. Lu was very angry.
…
A meeting was held to stabilize the morale of the team. In the following period, the filming progress of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was suddenly accelerated, and the team worked almost day and night.
Worried that the other party might cause more trouble, it’s better to finish filming as soon as possible and leave enough time.
In the original plot, Lu Hao had no choice but to take over the role of "Star Singer" and began to prepare seriously.
That's fine.
There are many songs involved in "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
As a comedy film, background music is essential to set off the atmosphere and make the jokes.
Moreover, there are also a lot of singing scenes in the main film.
There is a clip of singing in KTV.
There was a private concert.
There's a yodeling of "Swell."
There is also a nationwide carnival called "Calories".
Originally, these songs that were originally used as background music had to be "original".
Originally, I planned to leave it to Zhou Junhua to sing, but now I just took it all myself.
Producer, director, actor... Behind these three titles, there is also the identity of lyricist, composer and singer.
To be fair, Lu Hao is not afraid of being targeted by Starry Sky Film and Television at all.
So what if he is one of the nine giants?
In my left hand, I have endless money, and in my right hand, I have the cultural works of the entire world.
If I can still lose after this, I might as well just find a piece of tofu and hit myself to death.
In the tense atmosphere, the entire company and all the crew members were working at a high intensity, each taking their place and doing their job, almost trying their best to catch up with the progress.
By the end of early January, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was finally officially announced to be completed.
