Chapter 869 Plagiarism incident
After the plot entered a large-scale war scene, the filming location also shifted northward.

It took several days, but all the filming locations were temporarily decided.

At this time in the film and television industry, in addition to the news that "The Captain" broke the 40 billion mark and "My People, My Country" broke the 30 billion mark, "Better Days" was the most popular.

Despite the extremely limited publicity period, the film eventually exploded with powerful energy and performed well at the box office and in terms of word of mouth.

After the box office reached 1.45 million on the first day of its release, "Better Days" immediately became a hotly discussed movie the next day, dominating social media and soaring the single-day box office to 2.33 million.

The box office in the first week reached 5.77 million, making it the only hit in the current schedule.

However, amidst all the positive reviews, there were also some voices of opposition, the most pointed of which was that "Better Days" plagiarized Keigo Higashino's novel.

Many netizens pointed out that the movie "Better Days" was adapted from Jiu Yuexi's novel "Better Days Was Beautiful", and Jiu Yuexi is a well-known "Queen of Meltdown". Simply put, she is very good at plagiarizing memes, lines and plots from other works, and then integrating them into her own works.

On the 29th, the Beijing News also published an article criticizing Jiu Yuexi for plagiarism through an online platform, pointing out that many of Jiu Yuexi's novels have plagiarized and integrated plots, among which "Better Days Are Beautiful" even plagiarized Keigo Higashino's "White Night Walk", "The Devotion of Suspect X" and "Honeysuckle".

For a time, plagiarism seemed to have become a stain on the movie "Better Days", and the theory of plagiarism was rampant.

"The filming of Zeng Zhiwei's son's movie is pretty good, but the author's work has some minor problems."

When Zhang Yi and Li Mu are free from work discussions, they also discuss industry matters.

Several of them are directors, and they are quite interested in the movie "Better Days", which is about school violence.

The movie is based on a book, so actually the criticism should come from the author of the book. However, the movie was so popular that all kinds of criticism were directed at the creators.

"This is not the first time that Jiu Yuexi's books have been published. Many of her works often use the best sentences from famous writers' works, and her reputation is not very good.
In fact, buying more copyrights will reduce a lot of controversy.”

Li Mu shook his head, maybe the investors were deliberately promoting this.

Anyway, the story is becoming more and more popular, which has also led to a continued increase in the box office of "Better Days".

"You, you are rich, sometimes the money earned by some movies at the box office is not as much as the copyright fee."

Zhang Yi said with a smile, "By the way, when is the filming of Lao Tian's movie going to start?"

Zhang Yi's words made Brother Chen Kai couldn't help but look over.

"The teacher said it should be in December."

"He hasn't made a movie in a long time, I want to see it!" Zhang Yi immediately thought of Tian Zhuangzhuang's subject matter, "But "Tree King" is still a bit sensitive, I hope it's not too deep."

"It's difficult. Based on my understanding of Lao Tian, ​​if he doesn't shoot it to the bone, it won't be his style."

Brother Chen Kai shook his head. He was very familiar with Tian Zhuangzhuang's character, and their relationship was there.

"We are prepared. We may have to fight a continuous battle with the bureau."

Li Mu couldn't help but smile, and he had no intention of asking Tian Zhuangzhuang to restrain himself when filming. After all, filming like that would not be the essence of "Tree King".

"Let's go ahead and confirm some details. It will be hard to put them together when we shoot later."

Li Mu twisted his neck. In the past few days, several people had been discussing and analyzing the details of the connection between the three parts of the shooting.

Because once the shooting starts, three people will work at the same time, and it will be too late to confirm during the shooting.

If the three places cannot be connected due to some details, it will be a big trouble.

Money is a small matter, time is a big matter. Even though Li Mu knew that he could not shoot this year, when he waited for the subsequent shooting, he still had this problem, because the shooting time given was tight and it needed to be completed in one winter, otherwise he would have to wait until the next winter.

"."

During the production of "Changjin Lake", Li Mu was the busiest person because he not only held the title of director, but also the chief producer.

This also means that a lot of production-type work has to be reviewed by him.

Fortunately, Liu Weijuan and Yu Dong can share some of the burden.

It’s just that Yu Dong also encountered some troubles in the past two days, which caused him to start cursing.

"What's wrong, Mr. Yu? Did you receive a court summons?"

Li Mu put down the document in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and looked at Yu Dong who started mumbling again after he finished the call, and couldn't help but ask.

In the past two days, the author of "Flamingo" believed that "The Bravest" had plagiarized and plagiarized his work in terms of story background, character settings, character relationships, main plot settings, and ending arrangements. So he sued the film's producers and distributors, China Film Distribution Co., Ltd., Bona Film Group Co., Ltd., and eight other companies to the court on the grounds of copyright infringement, and demanded 8 million yuan in compensation.

First there was "Better Days" and then there was "The Bravest". Now the media are starting to make trouble again, and all kinds of remarks have emerged.

"He dares to do that?" Yu Dong said disdainfully, "He said he was suing us, but Bona didn't even receive a subpoena."

"Moreover, "The Heroes of Fire" itself is a film adapted from the true heroic deeds of firefighters who risked their lives to put out the fire after the oil pipeline exploded in the Free Trade Zone of DL City on July 2010, 7.
We also interviewed eyewitnesses. Why would they copy a book? Is this person crazy about fame or money? And those media outlets, they all acted so serious. Damn it, I want to sue them one by one!" Yu Dong was also angry. After all, it was really bad for Bona's reputation.

Who can stand a movie with a good reputation being suddenly labeled as plagiarism?

"These uncrowned kings sometimes really need a good treatment," Huang Jianxin suggested.

"It was okay before, but now with the addition of new media platforms, it's difficult."

Li Mu leaned back in his chair and said calmly.

Today's media communication no longer relies on a few mainstream media, but on various new media. Even a pile of shit can be described as a flower.

Yu Dong suddenly felt a little helpless.

"It seems like the Chinese New Year is a little early this year, right?"

Li Mu suddenly changed the subject and started talking about the date.

Huang Jianxin knew that Li Mu wanted to confirm the shooting date, and then nodded, "It's too early, the Chinese New Year will be at the end of January."

"According to the current situation, filming will start at the end of January, and we may not be able to take a few days off for the Spring Festival."

Li Mu took out his cell phone and checked again.

"Let's set the third day of the Lunar New Year as the date."

Li Mu actually wanted to postpone it a little, so that he could probably save some losses. However, he was all eyeing the start of the filming of this movie, and it was not good to deliberately postpone it. He could only set a time to start filming.

“I’ll just have to work harder this year.”

Huang Jianxin sighed, then glanced at his phone, stood up and said, "I'll go to Bayi first. Director Ming seems to be busy. You continue chatting with General Manager Yu."

After discussing trivial matters with Yu Dong, Li Mu also stood up and prepared to go home.

As soon as I went out, I saw that the sky had darkened.

In November, the imperial capital no longer had the lingering sunset of the summer. Coupled with the cool breeze and the rustling sound of golden leaves, it felt a bit depressed for a moment.

Fortunately, there was a constant flow of cars and people on the road, which diluted the depressed mood a lot.

Just thinking about what would happen a month later, Li Mu sighed slightly. After all, natural disasters cannot be changed by human power.

"Mom, why isn't Dad fat yet?"

The little kid sat at the door of the hall, his short legs swinging in the air in boredom. From time to time, he looked out of the villa gate with his ears perked up. He got excited when he heard the sound of a car, but most of the time it was just a passing car.

"It's almost there!" Liu Yifei smiled and touched the little bun's head, "Are you cold? Do you want to put on more clothes?"

"It's not cold." The little boy shook his head violently, then moved his ears, and then said happily, "Mom, it's Dad who's getting fat."

"How do you know? What if it's not Dad's car?"

"Of course it is!" The little bun suddenly stood up from the stool, and Ala, who had sensed something, also stood up from the corner and rushed to the door.

"Mom, look, there are only a few."

Sure enough, the car lights stopped in front of the villa, and then the door of the villa slowly opened.

From the cab, Li Mu saw Ala not far away, and Xiao Baozi and Liu Yifei at the door.

"You are so smart!"

Li Mu rubbed the body of Ala who pounced on him. He couldn't hold the guy anymore as he was too heavy. This was the only way he could do.

"I just want to be your dad"

The little bun ran over quickly with his short legs and his arms open.

"Oh, you seem to have gained weight again. Did you eat too well in kindergarten?"

Li Mu joked.

"The nest is not heavy, Daddy hates it"

The little Baozi gently patted Li Mu's shoulder with his little hand, while the Ala behind him followed with its tail wagging.

Night has fallen, and in the distance, thousands of lights are gradually lighting up.

At this time, Li Mu was holding the little bun and walking side by side with Liu Yifei, talking and laughing, while Ala was circling around them and following them closely.
