As an actor, it makes sense for me to know some kung fu, right?

At the same time, practitioners in the industry are also discussing this matter:

"I didn't expect that even Daxu Culture would be entangled by this kind of copycat guy. It must be very big!"

"Yes, it is said that they also want to take legal action to nip this kind of copycat version in the bud.

It's a pity that it doesn't seem to be of much use. Although the other party has a similar name, the content is original..."

“It seems like a lot of culture will suffer a lot this time.

It hasn't even been released yet, but the popularity of "A Chinese Story - Ghost" has been greatly reduced by "Beautiful Ghost".

When it's about to be released, the copycat 'Beautiful Girl Ghost' will definitely be released first to share the traffic. "

……

"I think there is no good way to deal with this kind of copycat movie unless it can be released faster than the copycat version."

"Yes, but if you want to release it earlier than a shoddy knockoff, it's simply impossible!

It only takes you half a year to produce a movie with great care, but a copycat product can be released in two or three months. "

"That's right! This is the most difficult part. It's useless to go through legal channels.

It is also impossible to release the film earlier than the copycat version and avoid being sucked away by the other party..."

"Director Xu, who is recognized as a top-notch director in the industry, probably has no choice but to face such gangsterism!"

……

Just when the industry was speculating that Director Xu was helpless.

In fact, the crew of 'A Chinese Story - Ghost' is working overtime at the moment.

The 'overtime work' mentioned here really means working overtime in a substantial sense.

Because there are a lot of evening scenes in the drama "A Chinese Story - Ghost Story".

So it's not that Xu Lu made the actors work day and night just to rush for time.

in fact.

Usually when shooting night scenes, the actors and crew have time to rest during the day.

Just because the plot requires it, it has to be turned on at night.

In fact, the crew already knew at this time that Director Xu’s goal was to release it earlier than the copycat version over there.

This news shocked everyone.

You must know that this is a copycat movie crew famous for its "short, flat and fast". They don't care about quality, their main focus is fast speed.

So if you, a regular crew member, want to compete with the crew of someone else’s copycat movie, isn’t that looking for abuse?

Originally, everyone thought that after Director Xu made this decision, everyone would definitely have a hard time in the following days.

But something unexpected happened.

Although everyone has received the news that they have to compare their efficiency with the "copycat crew", the work they do every day seems to be the same as before, and they are not used as cattle and horses.

The only difference is probably that the crew was divided into several shooting locations.

That is to say, during filming every day, several scenes will be shot at the same time, and everyone will go hand in hand.

So when the director doesn't have a role to play, he has to focus on supervising the shooting of a few scenes.

Everyone knows that this is probably Director Xu’s method to save shooting time.

He did not choose to let the cast and crew bear the pressure, but chose to bear it all silently.

Everyone sees this and is anxious in their hearts:

"Oh, those copycat crews who suffered a thousand blows really deserve to die!"

"That's right, if you want to copycat, then copy someone else's film. Why do we copy the film directed by Xu?"

"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it. Director Xu is now the most popular director in the industry.

None of his films are box-office hits. If those people don't copy them, who can we copy? "

"How about... let's take the initiative with Director Xu to apply for a few more hours of work every day. We can squeeze out the time."

……

The cast and crew of the crew discussed it privately, and then passed the news to Xu Lu through Producer Feng.

Looking at Feng Xiaoxia who was being summoned, Xu Lu glanced at him and said:

"Working overtime? Why do you work overtime for no reason? You don't have to work overtime!"

"But, Director Xu, everyone wants to help, so we can't leave everything to you alone!"

Feng Xiaoxia urged.

Xu Lu smiled and said:

"Isn't it normal to do what you want with how much you pay? Other people's salary levels are there, just go to work every day.

As the CEO of a company, I benefit from the company's profits, but of course I have to bear more responsibility. What else is there to say..."

"But……"

Feng Xiaoxia also wants to say a few words.

But Xu Lu interrupted directly:

"Okay, okay, don't worry about this or that. As long as we follow the current progress, we will definitely be faster than those knock-offs."

After hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia knew that he could not persuade him, so he had no choice but to walk away.

But in fact.

The reason why Mr. Xu said this is not simply to make the other party feel better, but because he really has this confidence.

First, of course, it is now common to have several scenes start up at the same time, which speeds up the shooting progress.

Secondly, he knows all the plots of the drama "A Chinese Girl-Ghost".

Basically, as long as the footage is shot, it is a useful footage and does not require much post-production at all.

In addition to the above two points.

In fact, there are two other reasons that can greatly improve efficiency, and they are both related to the artificial intelligence butler 'Zhen Weis'.

That is post-editing and special effects production.

In the past, Daxu Culture's filming crew didn't have to rush for time, so Xu Lu left these tasks to others.

In a sense, this can be regarded as creating jobs.

But this time, since we want to compete with those copycats, we can only use some high technology without respecting martial ethics.

For the knockoffs, the plot is ridiculous and the logic is confusing. You only need to scrape together enough content for a movie, so the shooting time is short.

As for Mr. Xu, all the plots are in his heart.

Although the shooting is exquisite, there are basically no useless clips.

What's more, with the current multi-line approach, the shooting time for Daxu Culture will also not be very long.

At this point, let's just say the two sides are barely tied.

For knockoffs, in order to reduce costs, the special effects only cost 50 cents, but this also greatly shortened the film's release time.

On Mr. Xu's side, the special effects are excellent, but the artificial intelligence butler 'Zhen Weis' will take over, and the time is basically zero.

In terms of special effects, knockoffs lose both 'prestige' and 'face'.

As for the knockoffs, post-production is difficult, which means dubbing and the like are difficult to describe, but they also only require a very short amount of time.

On Mr. Xu's side, the quality is also very good in the later stage, but it is also done by 'Zhen Weis', which saves time.

So in post-production, the knockoffs still failed miserably.

Comparing the above three points, it is not difficult to see that Mr. Xu actually knows what he is doing.

But on the crew of 'Beautiful Ghost'.

These copycats probably don't know that the opponent they face this time is completely different from usual ones.
