Daluo Jinxian in the city

Chapter 574 Fighting Piracy - Version

"What's going on, haven't you bought a disc?" The boss looked at Lin Chiling like a monster.

Because Lin Chiling was wearing makeup, sunglasses and a hat when she went out, the boss didn't recognize her as a big star.

"Boss, what is this?" Lin Chiling asked as he picked up a disc of Last Love in Battlefield.

The boss gave Lin Chiling a strange look, as if he was looking at a fool, "The latest blockbuster movie Battlefield, just won the European Palme d'Or, why don't you even know about this."

Seeing Lin Chiling's expression, Ye Fei couldn't help asking, "What happened?"

Seeing that Ye Fei still didn't understand, Lin Chiling hurriedly pulled him aside and said in a low voice, "Ye Fei, you don't understand, our movie hasn't been released yet, but there are already pirated DVDs on the market, if you let this situation If it continues to develop, it will greatly affect the box office of our film, which is a major matter related to the survival of our film."

"So serious?" Ye Fei couldn't help being taken aback.

Ye Hui immediately explained the harm of piracy to Ye Fei in detail from a professional point of view.

Ye Fei frowned when he heard this. He thought that seeing his company's works here would make him feel very happy, but after hearing what Ye Hui said, he couldn't be happy immediately.

Seeing Ye Fei frowning, Lin Chiling immediately comforted, "Don't worry, let's find out the situation first, and then go back and decide on countermeasures."

Ye Fei nodded and said, "Okay."

The next moment, Lin Chiling immediately changed his tone, and said, "Boss, I bought a new home theater at home, and I want to get some discs to see. How about this one?"

"Looking at your appearance just now, I know that you just bought the machine." The boss heard Lin Chiling's tone, so he said triumphantly, showing an unfathomable look.

As soon as Ye Fei saw the boss's appearance, he became even more curious. Why, is there any way to sell a disc, which strengthened his determination to know the inside story.

"Boss, I'm a movie fan. I bought a home theater and want to watch a few movies at home. How's the quality of your discs?" Lin Chiling said with a smile, "I want hundreds of discs. Buy it, go back and watch it and collect it." She acted like a movie lover and harmless to others.

Lin Chiling is worthy of a big star, her acting is impeccable, and she can't tell that she is pretending at all.

"You don't understand it just by looking at it."

As soon as the boss heard that Lin Chiling wanted a lot, he immediately changed his tone, "How can the really good products in my store be placed outside? It's all inside the hut!"

"Inside?" Lin Chiling said strangely, "Why put the goods in there?"

"Of course it is to prevent inspections. If it is stolen, the loss will not be too big. Didn't you think of this?" The boss gave her another look and said.

"Just go in and have a look." The boss said mysteriously, and then opened an inconspicuous small door to let Lin Chiling and Ye Fei in.

As soon as they entered the door, the two felt dazzled immediately. It turned out that most of the discs in the store were stored in this place. There were thousands of movie discs and music CD discs densely packed on a few columns of simple shelves, which made him a little dizzy. faint.He randomly took two discs from the shelf and flipped through them. The outer packaging of these discs was extremely rough, and some even wrapped a layer of colored paper with stills printed on the outside, and then wrapped it with a square of cellophane. Wrap it up and it couldn't be easier.

This turned out to be a pirated version, Ye Fei knew for a while, Ye Qing often bought it before.

In the past, he often saw reports on the investigation and punishment of piracy on TV or newspapers, because he had never been in the entertainment industry before, so he didn't care about it. Now he heard Lin Chiling's words, and he knew the harm.

Lin Chiling took down a lot of video discs from the shelf. To their surprise, the number and types of video discs and music CDs here are so large that it can be said to be all-encompassing. There are award-winning classic movies, as well as entertainment blockbusters that hit the box office. Anyway, as long as they are well-received movies and music CDs, almost all of them are sold here.

"Boss, how much are these discs?" Ye Fei asked.

"Ten yuan a piece, buy ten get one free." The boss replied, "Have you seen anything?"

It’s so cheap, Ye Fei couldn’t help but feel moved. No wonder Lin Chiling said that this would greatly impact the release of the film. The reason is that it costs at least 30 yuan to watch a genuine movie, but these pirated movies only cost [-] yuan, which is not bad. Go back and watch it a few more times. If the audience sees it, how can they not be moved.

If my movie "Occupying the Land" is also pirated, at this price, it is impossible for me to reduce the cost so low anyway, and fans will watch the pirated version, it will definitely affect my box office revenue when it is released, Although Ye Fei doesn't care much about the box office, if the theaters showing the movie have poor attendance, they will let the movie go offline early. This is actually very detrimental to promoting Ye Hui's stardom.

"Boss, what's the difference between what's inside and what's outside?" Lin Chiling picked up two "Battlefield of Love" and asked, she was really worried.

"The outside ones are all D5, and the sound and image quality are not as good as the D9 inside." The boss said impatiently.

After watching for a long time, Ye Fei and Lin Chiling didn't seem to be here to buy, so the boss became a little impatient.

"Why?" Lin Chiling asked.

"The D9 is copied from the original version, and the D5 is compressed from the original version. Naturally, it is different. Hey, do you want it or not?"

Seeing that the boss was getting impatient, Lin Chiling quickly changed the subject and said, "Then this 'Battlefield of Love' is a new movie, boss, when will it be available?"

The boss immediately said, "This is just here! I just put it out, and let me tell you, there is no stock in other stores. I got it through special channels. You just take it back and look at it, that's right." !"

Lin Chiling nodded, and finally got the information he wanted. Lin Chiling slid a few discs, paid the boss, and then went to several other video stores to check, and found that the owner You are right, the movie Battlefield is still a new movie, and many audio-visual stores have not yet arrived.

Lin Chiling immediately pulled Ye Fei out and said, "Although the situation is very bad, there should be still time, as long as we take measures quickly."

Ye Fei said, "Do you mean to send someone to destroy the pirated version of our movie immediately?"

Lin Chiling said, "That's right, and the sooner the better, because the later the loss, the greater the loss."

The next moment, Lin Chiling immediately called his friends in the industrial and commercial department, and asked them to help find a way to investigate and deal with these pirated industries immediately, and find a way to stop this behavior.

But the other party returned the call not long after, because this matter is under the management of the cultural department, and they have no power to investigate and deal with it, and even for the supervision department, piracy is a very troublesome thing. They are very flexible and changeable, often when the inspectors arrive, the pirates will close down, and once the inspectors leave, the pirates will reopen, which makes them feel very headache and cannot be eradicated at all.

Hearing this, Lin Chiling couldn't help crying and laughing.

Ye Fei was also taken aback. He didn't expect that a small pirated version would be so difficult for people to solve. He was very unwilling to let it damage the performance of his first movie.

So Ye Fei immediately called Li Chengye and asked him to find a way to immediately investigate and deal with these piracy industries, and find a way to stop the piracy of the movie Battlefield.

Li Chengye got the order, and immediately acted vigorously. In less than two hours, the DVD pirated copies in the entire Zhonghai market, not to mention the movie Occupying the Land, were swept away, and there were not many other movies left.

Only then did Ye Fei feel relieved, so he took some time to understand it, only to find out that selling pirated copies is actually a common phenomenon in the world, and the piracy industry has become a lucrative industry. According to his preliminary estimate, due to the price The advantage is that the pirated version only costs a disc, which should be only a few cents.

However, the cost of the original version includes the cost of shooting, production, and film remuneration, so the price cannot be compared with that of the pirated version. According to the conservative estimates of senior people, the profit of selling pirated versions should be about five times higher than that of selling genuine ones, that is, It is said that the total profit of the national piracy industry should be much higher than the total profit of the genuine industry, which cannot but be said to be a big problem.

Piracy has become an indispensable part of many people's lives, and even watching the genuine version has become the object of their ridicule. Knowing this, Ye Fei couldn't help sighing, when did the world become so upside down, right and wrong?

You know that stealing people’s money is against the law, you know it’s wrong to go to restaurants to eat for free, but why do you still feel so at ease when you look like a pirated version, and even swear when you’re upset? Where has your conscience gone? It’s even more terrifying Yes, this has formed a trend, like thieves have dared to openly call themselves a thief on the street, what can you do to me?None of you are qualified to speak of me, because none of you have ever stolen anything?All of you are thieves.

In this regard, Ye Fei, the Great Luo Jinxian, has nothing to do, because physical weakness can be rescued by medicine and exercise, but mental decline can only be rescued by himself. If one day, everyone will transform and not steal If you are ashamed of the fruits of other people's labor, this world will truly become a hell, because no one can escape the robbing of others.

In the next few days, Lin Chiling has been preparing for the film's release, trying to complete all aspects of the details, and strive to make the film an instant hit.

After painstaking preparations, The Battlefield finally ushered in its first premiere in Zhonghai.
