513: You, an authentic product, are faster than us counterfeiters? That's just too weird!
"If it really is a shoddily made production, even if I can't persuade Director Xu myself, I'll bring in reinforcements to convince him. I absolutely cannot let Director Xu make such a low-level mistake!"
Before opening the finished film to watch it, Feng Xiaoxia was still thinking this to himself.
Because he truly didn't believe that all the post-production and special effects for the film could be finished in just one day.
Such abnormal efficiency could only be achieved by those Bootleggers who didn't care about the quality of the film.
As for legitimate film companies, he had never heard of such a situation—not a single one!
Soon, the finished film of 'a chinese ghost story' began playing on the screen.
At this moment, Feng Xiaoxia was the only person in the viewing room. His expression was serious, and his mood was heavy.
But only two minutes later.
Feng Xiaoxia's serious expression instantly collapsed, and he was left completely dumbfounded.
Because at this moment on the screen, the plot of 'a chinese ghost story' had already begun.
And what he completely didn't expect was that the quality of the film was not the trashy movie he had previously imagined.
In fact, the quality of the actual film was far better than he had imagined.
Whether it was the lip-syncing of the characters and dubbing, the smoothness of the editing, or the production of the special effects, everything could be called excellent.
It was not a bit inferior to those films previously produced by Da Xu Culture.
In fact, Feng Xiaoxia felt that the quality of this 'a chinese ghost story' was even higher.
This feeling grew stronger the more he watched.
"My God! In just one day, how on earth did Director Xu manage to do this?"
At this very moment, Feng Xiaoxia had long forgotten his earlier thought of 'bringing in reinforcements to persuade him.'
He was shocked at why the quality of this film was so high.
And after coming to his senses, he felt his face burning with embarrassment for the inexplicable things he had just said to Director Xu.
If he had known that the finished film of 'a chinese ghost story' was at this level, how could he have possibly said such things?
Originally, Feng Xiaoxia had thought that Director Xu was just angry at those Bootleggers, which was why he had made such an outrageous decision.
But now it seemed that it was his own imagination that was lacking.
"However... in that case, we won't be affected by those Bootleggers at all.
Hahahaha, Director Xu is truly amazing. I was wondering why he announced the completion of the new drama so high-profile yesterday.
So that's what he was waiting for.
He finished post-production in just one day; no matter what those Bootleggers do, they can't catch up to our progress."
Feng Xiaoxia's expression was quite relaxed.
Previously, he had actually been thinking about how to deal with the bootlegging behavior of that Long Sheng Pictures, and hadn't found a good solution.
Because even going through legal channels would have minimal effect, and the process was quite long; it wouldn't produce results anytime soon.
But today, Feng Xiaoxia found that he didn't need to worry about this at all.
Because Director Xu had solved the problem from the root. The original version was faster than the bootleg version, and the quality could crush the opponent—so what was there to worry about?
It can only be said that those Bootleggers picked the wrong target this time.
You can bootleg anyone else, but to come and bootleg our Da Xu Culture, you've truly lost your mind.
"Director Xu is still Director Xu; he can always surprise people!"
Feng Xiaoxia sighed with emotion.
During the rest of the viewing, his mood was pleasant, and he had completely lost the nervousness and worry he had felt earlier.
Once the viewing ended, Feng Xiaoxia immediately started contacting people about the release of 'a chinese ghost story.' He didn't even need to be urged; he was more anxious than anyone else right now.
It was like a relay race; Director Xu had taken a huge lead over the opponent in the first half, and Feng Xiaoxia didn't want to lose that advantage in the second half.
If that happened, he wouldn't even need Director Xu to blame him; he wouldn't be able to get past his own conscience.
Fortunately, as the Chief Producer of Da Xu Culture, Producer Feng was considered a celebrity in the industry, and he had plenty of experience handling release matters.
This time, the release of 'a chinese ghost story' did not encounter any accidents.
In fact, through his connections and persistence, this new drama was scheduled for the nearest weekend slot, which was Friday, just one day later.
Because there was only one day until the release, the promotion was also fast-tracked.
Also, because Da Xu Culture already had a mature promotion and distribution system, and was highly regarded by various media in the industry.
So, it didn't take much time for the news to spread all over the internet.
They only announced the completion yesterday, and today they are promoting its release in one day—this dropped the jaws of everyone.
...
Actually.
Because Producer Feng was anxious about the release, he didn't spread the news internally right away.
So even most of the people inside Da Xu Culture were extremely shocked after learning the news:
"It's releasing the day after tomorrow? Did I hear that right? Could it be that the 'pretty girl ghost' from that bootleg crew is releasing?"
"I'm shocked too, but the message clearly states that it's our Da Xu Culture's 'a chinese ghost story' that is releasing.
Besides, the 'pretty girl ghost' filmed by those Bootleggers doesn't even have the qualifications for a theatrical release; at most, it can be streamed online."
"That's true, but it's too unbelievable. It just finished filming, and it can already be released..."
"I don't know, but since the company has started promotion and even set the release date, it definitely isn't fake news."
...
"I went to ask Brother Feng, and it is indeed releasing this Friday.
And he has already seen the finished film; there are no issues with the quality at all."
"Hiss! That is truly incredible. It's only been one day, and the post-production and special effects are actually done?"
"This is going to be interesting. Our original version is releasing before those bootleg versions. Hahahaha..."
"Yeah, if that Long Sheng Pictures finds out about this news, I wonder what their expressions will be?"
...
In fact.
At this moment, the group from Long Sheng Pictures were all expressionless after hearing the news.
Because they were all completely dumbfounded.
Qian Benjing, who didn't believe it yesterday or at least looked calm, now had his mouth wide open like a toad.
And Xiao Guangshan, who had been a bit worried originally but was later persuaded, was also standing with his mouth open, like a carp out of water.
As for the others in the 'pretty girl ghost' crew at Long Sheng Pictures, their expressions were all blank.
Because in the past, only they had 'surpassed' others; no one had ever 'surpassed' them.
None of the people at Long Sheng had ever encountered a situation like this, and they didn't know what to do.
As Bootleggers.
Their main tactic was to release online a step ahead of the original and steal traffic from others.
But this time, the original was actually faster than them, and by a significant margin.
So, what path were they supposed to take now?
Qian Benjing felt his molars starting to ache.
He never dreamed that one day he would have to face such a bizarre situation.
You, the original, are faster than us Bootleggers; this is just too bizarre!
