I'm just trying to ride the wave of popularity!

Chapter 29 Premiere
7 month 11 day.

Saturday.

At 4:30, just as dawn was breaking...

A group of people were already standing at the entrance of Feihe Cinema.

these people……

They are all staff members from Feihe Cinema, as well as the film crew of "Sun Wukong vs. Superman 2".

At this moment, they anxiously stared at the alley not far away.

Zhang Muxue didn't sleep a wink all night, enduring every minute and second of the agonizing wait!
How could she possibly sleep!
The movie will be released in a few hours!
But can you believe that the film source hasn't arrived yet?
Even more outrageous is that I heard this movie is still in post-production!
Chen Jianfeng, dressed in the costume from "The Longest Day in Chang'an 2," was like an ant on a hot plate, constantly pacing around...

They actually sold a lot of movie tickets yesterday against their conscience!

Thanks to the influence of "Superman 2"...

Moviegoers' anticipation for this film is at an all-time high...

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment…

He no longer expected the movie to bring much surprise to movie fans; he just hoped that the movie could at least be released, otherwise, they would be fraudsters!

In fact, it wasn't just him...

Almost everyone harbors this thought deep down.

Around five o'clock in the morning, a red glow appeared on the horizon, and the beams of dawn pierced through the thick clouds, illuminating this ancient city of Yanjing.

Just when everyone's heart was in their throat...

Finally, the sound of a car engine came from afar.

Zhou Yang, who was driving a familiar Audi A6, got out of the passenger seat and then hurriedly walked over with a large pile of copies!

"Take a look, see if there's a problem... Never mind, even if there is a problem, it's okay, let's go to the next cinema right away!"

After hurriedly finishing his explanation, Zhou Yang got into the passenger seat of the Audi A6 under the dazed gazes of the crowd. Then, watching An Xiaoshi drive off in the direction Zhou Yang had indicated, her eyes filled with complex emotions, he watched as she drove away.

in the car.

Looking at the mess of copied documents on the floor, An Xiaoshi felt an overwhelming sense of complexity.
These guys are actually going to release this movie!

"Zhou Yang, can I skip the premiere of this movie? I have some things to take care of on set..."

"Director An, you're the investor and sponsor of this film, how can you not go..."

“But… I… how about I really not go? If you need anything, just tell me, I’ll support you. This movie premiere… Zhou Yang, the artistic level of your movie is just too high, I’m just an ordinary person…” An Xiaoshi’s face turned redder and redder as she spoke, and finally her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.

Although she has not seen the final version of the film.

but……

Even a fool could imagine how cringeworthy this movie is!

She could even imagine the mental state of the moviegoers who went to the cinema!

Thinking about this, she realized she simply didn't have the courage to step into the movie theater...

..............................

Half past seven in the morning.

There are about half an hour left before the movie starts.

The once deserted Feihe Cinema is now packed with people.

People from all directions, residents of nearby communities, and students from schools were slowly pouring into the movie theater entrance with their tickets in hand.

……

Deng Hairong stood among these people, looking at the promotional posters in the movie theater with a complicated expression.
originally……

He had absolutely no interest in watching this kind of movie.

It's obvious at a glance that it's a case of false advertising.

But, for some reason, my eyelids kept twitching as soon as I went to sleep last night.

In the end, I brought a lawyer along to see what kind of garbage this movie was!
"Remember, we need to find evidence, and once we've found it, we need to set a good example!"

"it is good!"

Beside him, Fan Qiang, head of the legal department and piracy division of Tianyu Entertainment Group, nodded and gripped the camera in his hand tightly.

"Take a picture of this poster!"

"it is good!"

Do you think this poster infringes on copyright?

"Let me see……"

Under the sunlight...

The words "Superman 2" on the promotional poster are so eye-catching!
The poster was almost identical to the one on the internet and in major cinemas, which left Deng Hairong speechless!

Have these piracy thieves become this outrageous? They're so blatantly infringing on copyrights?

"It doesn't seem to be Superman 2..."

"Ok?"

"There's also a line of small print on the poster..."

"What small print?"

After taking the photo, Fan Qiang stared intently at the poster. A moment later, he froze, somewhat stunned! Then, he looked up at the poster…

The most prominent words on the poster are "Superman 2," but if you look closely...

He was instantly energized!
What did he see?
He noticed a line of small print next to the large title "Superman 2" that was extremely easy to overlook!

The small print clearly reads "Sun Wukong's Great Battle"!
Moreover, when he stared at the huge poster again, he was completely shocked!
I grass!

That's not "Superman 2"! It's clearly "Superman 2"!

One character for "walk" and another for "is".

and also……

Although this poster is a complete rip-off of their "Superman 2" poster, the key actor's face has been photoshopped...

One has a Western face, and the other has a damn Eastern face!

It's a complete rip-off!
……

Upon seeing this, Deng Hairong was stunned: "Does this count as copyright infringement?"

"At most it's similar, but it's infringement..." Fan Qiang hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head: "It really doesn't count!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Deng Hairong took a deep breath, and an urge to slap someone hard gradually became uncontrollable.

Those bastards are absolutely infuriating!
Just at this time……

The crowd of onlookers was growing larger and more congested.

He and Fan Qiang were very uncomfortable being jostled in the crowd.

Look at those expectant eyes!
He was so frustrated!
Those damn bastards!

They're totally piggybacking on the popularity of "Superman 2"!

"Isn't this fraud?"

"Fraud has a very broad definition... Strictly speaking, as long as the movie has been shown, it doesn't count as fraud..."

"..."

Seeing that it didn't constitute fraud or infringement for the time being, Deng Hairong suddenly felt a tightness in his chest...

For a moment, I didn't know what to say!
Then...

The two of them produced handwritten tickets!

Standing in line in the crowd!
Immediately afterwards, people entered the venue one after another after having their tickets checked, walked into the musty-smelling chairs, and sat down on chairs that were almost worn out from the tattered fabric.

"How can this movie theater be so outdated?"

Looking at the outdated facilities and the curtain in front of him, Deng Hairong felt that his worldview had been completely shattered.

"According to the latest data, since 95, this cinema has been in a state of complete decline... The owner has always wanted to sell it, but it has changed hands several times, and none of the owners were willing to pay, which has led to its decline... This is also why the major cinema chains don't want to buy this cinema, and won't even take it over at the lowest possible price..."

"..."

Deng Hairong was at a loss for words.

Finally, his gaze remained silently fixed on the large screen in the distance...

The screening room was almost full.

He looked closely and found that nearly half of the viewers were parents with children.

Almost every child had a bucket of popcorn and ice cream, sat in a chair, and stared expectantly at the big screen...

About ten minutes have passed!

The dimly lit screen in the distance finally lit up.

Movie……

It's playing!
Deng Hairong roused himself and watched the movie silently!

Immediately afterwards...

He heard a sudden uproar in the movie theater!
Sun Wukong vs. Superman 2!
A line of eye-catching movie-related words caught everyone's attention!

Many people turned green!
Immediately afterwards...

"This story is sponsored by the super delicious and super healthy fast food restaurant, [A Liang Fast Food Restaurant]!"

"【A Liang Fast Food】Eat with peace of mind, use with confidence, and get the second item half price!"

"The universe's number one fast food restaurant, [A Liang Fast Food]!"

"The fast food boxes we sell in a year could circle the Milky Way several times over!"

"..."

"This story is sponsored by the best car repair group in China, [Siling Auto Repair Shop]!"

"The most awesome auto repair shop in the universe, [Siling Auto Repair Shop] undertakes repairs for tricycles, light trucks, large trucks, private cars, Mars rovers, spaceships, and time machines!"

"There's nothing you can't imagine that we can't fix!"

"Our business scope covers the entire solar system!"

"..."
