More than eight o'clock in the evening.

After Shaoyang took Ma Li, Li Ailun and a group of leading actors for a road show at the Starlight Cinema in Shanghai, they each went back to their places of residence.

Judging from the interviews with the audience in the theater just now, the market response of "The Iron Fist of Shame" is still very good.

After Shao Yang went home and took a shower, he had been waiting for the first day's box office results.

Finally, after eleven o'clock, after the last movie, several theaters finally sent the statistics of box office revenue to Shaoyang.

The box office of "The Iron Fist of Shame" was 1.23 million on the first day, temporarily ranking first among the eight films released in the same period. Although the box office of "Monster Hunting Diary" was only 200 million less than "The Iron Fist of Shame", the first After all, the daily box office made "The Iron Fist of Shame" get the first place.

This achievement not only made the director of "Monster Catch Diary" Feng Qiang and all the investors suspicious of life, but also the other directors were all shocked.

Who is Feng Qiang?

Among the directors in the Beijing circle, he is the person who has produced the most works with a box office exceeding one billion.

"Monster Catch Diary" has an investment of more than [-] million yuan. The screenwriter is Cao Shuang, who wrote "Jianghu Biography". He also invited great actors like Jia Zhengnan and Zheng Bingyan to participate.

In the end, it was no match for a movie made by a group of 'newcomers'.

If this is the case, how will other directors get along in the future?

"impossible."

"impossible!"

"There's definitely something wrong."

Feng Qiang was quite happy to see that the box office reached 1.21 million on the first day, but when he heard that the box office of "The Iron Fist of Shame" reached 1.23 million, Feng Qiang was in a bad mood.

Before the movie was released, he even swore to the investor that he would not take the movie invested by Shaoyang seriously.

As a result, as soon as the box office ranking came out on the first day, he was properly slapped in the face.

Feng Qiang couldn't accept it, not at all.

He immediately picked up his mobile phone and made a call to the distributor: "Mr. Jiang, are you sure the box office revenue is not wrong?"

"It shouldn't be wrong."

"But…"

"Director Feng, I'm still on the road here so I won't tell you more."

After hanging up the phone, Feng Qiang sat on the sofa in the hotel doubting his life.

For a long time.

When Feng Qiang was about to go to sleep, the phone rang again.

It was Li Yuntian who called, Feng Qiang didn't want to answer it at first, but thought that Li Yuntian was also one of the investors, so he connected the call anyway.

"President Li, what's the matter?"

"Director Feng, don't worry, tomorrow the box office of our movie will surpass that of "The Iron Fist of Shame"."

Feng Qiang frowned, and quickly asked, "Why is Mr. Li so sure?"

Li Yuntian laughed, and told Feng Qiang all the things he asked people to do. Although Feng Qiang felt that this kind of behavior was immoral and even obscene, he didn't want to see the box office of "The Iron Fist of Shame" More than "Monster Hunt Diaries".

"Mr. Li, don't tell other people about this kind of thing."

"Don't worry, Director Feng. I'm making this call to reassure you. God knows all about this, and no one else will know about it."

Feng Qiang hung up the phone, opened the webpage of the browser, searched for "The Iron Fist of Shame" in the search box, and all the resources of various pirated websites below appeared.

……

The sky is slightly bright.

Shao Yang dazedly took out his phone from under the pillow, originally wanting to check the time, but as soon as the screen was unlocked, WeChat message notifications kept popping up like crazy.

Shao Yang clicked on WeChat, and then clicked on the voice message from Ma Li.

"Brother Yang, it's bad, our movie was filmed and uploaded to the Internet, and now there are gun version resources everywhere on the Internet, I just watched it, they should be recorded with a professional machine, the picture quality is very clear. "

When Shao Yang heard this, he sat up from the bed immediately.

open the Web page.

Enter "Shy Iron Fist" in the search box.

Click Search.

Good guy.

There are countless URLs of pirated movies below.

Shao Yang randomly clicked on a website, and after a few seconds of buffering, the movie started playing.

This pirated version even cut off the opening credits, so the picture quality is very clear.

On the first day and the first night, high-definition pirated resources appeared. Of course, Shaoyang knew what kind of impact this would have on the box office of the movie. He immediately got dressed and got up, and called Lu Mei immediately.

Lu Mei only found out about this in the morning, and when she saw Shaoyang calling, she immediately connected.

"Hey, Shaoyang, what are you going to do now?"

"First let the legal department send a lawyer's letter to all the companies behind the pirated websites, asking them to take down the pirated resources immediately."

Lu Mei said: "I have asked someone to do it, but once this kind of resource is uploaded on the Internet, it is impossible to completely remove it from the shelves. Such a high-definition resource must be ordered by someone. Who do you think it is?"

"I don't know. There are more than one or two people who are jealous of me. I'll think of a way first."

"it is good."

The picture quality of the gun version resources is so clear, who is willing to spend money to go to the cinema to watch it.

After much deliberation, Shaoyang couldn't think of any good solution, so he could only post a Weibo first, asking everyone to support the genuine version, and at the same time asked the theater to investigate the matter. After all, if the movie is pirated, the theater will also be affected.

The next day passed quickly.

During the road show, Shaoyang could clearly feel that there were not as many people watching movies today as yesterday.

really.

After eleven o'clock in the evening, the box office of the day came out.

The box office fell back to 7000 million in an instant.

According to the law of the film industry, basically the box office in the first three days was about the same, but now it has dropped by nearly half on the second day, so one can imagine how much it has been affected.

This was just the beginning. By the third day, most of the pirated website resources had been taken off the shelves, but the box office was still only 5000 million.

According to the reactions of netizens, many people have already downloaded the resources to the network disk, and now some people are selling pirated resources at a price of 2 yuan.

A series of changes caught Shaoyang by surprise.

On the fifth day, the box office of "Monster Hunting Diary" had almost exceeded [-] million, while "The Iron Fist of Shame" barely broke [-] million.

It was not until the sixth day that the Film Bureau and the Copyright Bureau jointly issued two notices.

"Strengthening Film Copyright Protection and Combating Copyright Infringement and Piracy According to the Law"

"Prohibition of Websites and Online Disks Spreading Movie Piracy Resources"

After the release of these two notices, the pirated website also immediately removed the gun version resources of "Shameful Iron Fist".

At the same time, Baidu also cooperated to clear the resources in the network disk.

On the seventh day, the box office finally picked up a little bit, but only a little bit.

When the entire National Day holiday is over, "The Iron Fist of Shame" only has a box office of 2000 million.

According to this trend, after one month, the box office will exceed [-] million at most.

After all, after the holidays, not many people will have time to go to the movies.

Shaoyang was also very helpless about this.

On October [-]th, the last day of the National Day holiday, Shaoyang posted a Weibo, the content was very short, only four words.

【I am disappointed】
