Chinese entertainment for engineering students

Copyright is a very mysterious thing, and it often requires a strong legal department and an organization willing to give you face to complete it. In the Ugly Country, since we have almost unlimited rights to claim compensation, this thing is quite useful.

But in China, Wang Xu just smiled. The key point is that he does not think that the current copyright recognition is necessarily good. It is really unacceptable to change the law like a certain animation studio did when the mouse was about to expire.

Moreover, in a sense, piracy is a major driving force for human development.

This is too long to say, and Wang Xu does not intend to discuss this with others, but whether he is willing to discuss it or not, Gitee can only adjust according to the current copyright model, otherwise it will dig its own grave.

The world has its own laws of operation, and even those who travel through time can only change it with a few people.

"The Matrix" has been released three times. The second one was directed by Lao Mouzi and produced by Xu Ke and Wang Xu. The third one was directed by Xu Ke and produced by Wang Xu and Lao Mouzi.

Oh, as for Jiang Wen, of course he will continue to be an actor. By the way, the character played by Jiang Wen is not dead, but has a broken leg and a blind eye. Wang Xu also made a cool mechanical ascension look.

The male protagonist died in the first episode, and the second episode is no exception, so Tank also died. In the third episode, there was no male protagonist at all. The two female protagonists, Wang Fei and Cameron Diaz, completely became one. A movie with a leading female protagonist.

This may also be the reason why the box office of the third film dropped even slightly lower than that of the first film. The two films were actually explosive at the box office, taking in US$650 million and US$540 million at the global box office respectively, compared with US$50 million and US$4,000 respectively. For an investment of 10,000 US dollars, it is quite profitable.

The last part of the trilogy was released at the beginning of this year. Although it still has not reached the top and has not broken any records, the current global box office championship is still firmly held by Dinosaurs.

But even so, they are all among the top ten box office records in history. If the three movies are counted together, they will definitely be number one.

Although the big ship is about to be released this year, and the record is probably still its, the big IP in Wang Xu's hands is a proper big IP.

The three film companies also paid tens of millions of dollars to the Gitee community in accordance with the rules. This is a new rule negotiated by Ugly State's law firm and accounting firm. The calculation is quite complicated, but it also ensures that Gitee can continue in the future. develop.

Although Wang Xu doesn't value money very much, it should be his, and he is absolutely unambiguous about it.

Of course, the copyright of the movie still belongs to Wang Chao, but both Golden Harvest and New Line have obtained the remake rights. This is a super big IP. No company can have too much of this kind of thing.

Now many film companies have taken a fancy to the background of the "Matrix" universe. Under the new regulations, the background and settings can be used at will. If you make a profit, you can just pay some money. However, other novels, comics, music, etc. cannot be used. Still belongs to the original author.

As a platform, Gitee enjoys 20% of the dividends and 10% of the background usage rights, but it is not responsible for any operations and publicity. As for the dividends, well, it basically depends on consciousness.

Anyway, this is a very open community. If you are willing to write in this context, then just write whatever you want. If you make money, don’t forget to share the points.

Such changes have rapidly increased the activity of the community. Wang Xu then took advantage of the popularity of the first "The Matrix" when it was released, and launched several different background settings while the iron was hot.

The first is the sci-fi "Zombie Apocalypse" background universe. The "Resident Evil" series of novels Wang Xu commissioned the editorial office to write is its originator.

Of course, if you look carefully, the concept of zombies has actually been around for a long time. The 1968 film "Night of the Living Dead" has already given the concept of zombies a solid folk foundation.

But "Resident Evil" is the first time to describe a complete apocalyptic world, which is relatively complete from background to settings. Of course, if you want to talk about logic, it is definitely lacking, but the flaws are not concealed. This apocalyptic world is also Attracted a lot of fans.

The other is the fairy cultivation world of "Ancient Universe". This is a pure Chinese fantasy universe. Wang Xu also knows that it is not the right time to launch it, but he still invests a lot of money and hires hundreds of scholars from all over the country. Responsible for organizing and improving this setting.

It wasn't until this year that this background setting was roughly formed. From the gods and demons of chaos to Pangu's creation of the sky, from the great tribulation of dragons and phoenixes to the battle of lich, from Nuwa mending the sky to the coexistence of the three religions, the human race was dominant, and then there were the three emperors and the five emperors. From the Qin, Han, Yuan and Ming dynasties, until a hundred years of humiliation, Nirvana and rebirth, spiritual energy collapsed, spiritual veins were severed, and finally the spiritual energy recovered.

The content is a mixture of history and fantasy, forming a world with its own logic. Even many historical events and story allusions have been reinterpreted in a mythical way.

It draws heavily on legends from various Chinese ethnic groups, stories from major religions, as well as stories from many ancient books, and even rural rumors. Many participants feel that they have participated in an unparalleled super project.

It took hundreds of people more than two years to finally take shape. Just the text for the background settings amounted to millions of words. When the project was officially launched and made public a few months ago, it immediately caused a stir. Hot discussion around the world.

Of course, the most discussed thing was within China. The initiator, Wang Xu, was naturally criticized a lot again. Even Director Jiang came to talk to Wang Xu and asked him if he had been too busy recently.

In fact, it was okay, mainly because the last time Wang Xu made the whole world uneasy was the last time.

Well, it was the script of "Cavemen". Wang Xu invested 1 million yuan and asked Gu Changwei to find a group of veteran actors to film it. Then it was broadcast across the country and actually earned tens of millions at the box office. .

Then it was spotted by Mr. Zou and introduced to Xiangjiang, and then sold to Little Days, and then Ugly Country, all of which were successfully released and sold quite well. The global box office actually exceeded 100 million US dollars.

The reason is that this film stars Wang Xu and the psychiatrist is played by Wang Fei. With their current appeal, they can really sell any movie they make.

Both of their salary quotations have officially exceeded the tens of millions of dollars, making them the top stars even in ugly countries.

Well, it is a little weak in terms of awards, although it won the Saturn Award for Best Picture and Best Director. But both the Oscar and the Golden Globe only won technical awards for Best Costume Design, Best Special Effects and Best Music.

Although this is all Wang Xu wants, he can't help but feel a little regretful.

As for the Hong Kong Film Awards, they did not give him the Best Actor award, but gave Wang Fei a nomination for Best Actress. Although the final award went to Wang Fei, the film was actually based on "Chungking Express."

Well, okay, the award judges in Xiangjiang prefer literary and artistic films, which he can understand, and with double nomination, I have to say that the people in Xiangjiang had no choice but to give the award to Wang Fei, otherwise it would be too much.

Then, the three "The Matrix" films really never won an important award in Xiangjiang. Even Zhang Guorong failed to win an award, which made Mr. Zou frown and cursed the people in Xiangjiang for being petty and lacking in structure.

Wang Xu didn't care. Anyway, his goal had been achieved. What he wanted was the box office. The box office of the three movies exceeded 50 million. The third one with a female protagonist even took an astonishing record of 70 million Hong Kong dollars. Finally, the box office championship in Hong Kong is firmly in hand.

Now, the movies produced by Wang Chao are already well-known in Hong Kong, and they are definitely not unknown in the world. The actors signed by Wang Jinghua all have good opportunities in Xiangjiang, so whether they go north or go south, their strength ultimately speaks for themselves.

This is how a pseudo-science fiction film like "Caveman" became a big hit. It cost 1 million and sold hundreds of millions. Of course it is considered a big hit.

It's certainly a good thing that "Cavemen" is a hit, but the problem is that the film contains a lot of scenes that are disgusting to Westerners, and then many people interpreted it, causing a huge uproar in the media.

Fortunately, Wang Xu didn't send the protagonist to Egypt to become Jesus, which already gave the original version a lot of respect. Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that religion is really hard to mess with, otherwise a bunch of religious lunatics would join in the condemnation.

You didn’t notice that he just blatantly said that ancient Greece was fake, ancient Egypt was not that awesome, and even the Sumerians, Mesopotamia, cuneiform and other things were fake. There's a hornet's nest.

In fact, the Western world is not bad. Anyway, there are all kinds of weird opinions prevalent there. One more is not much, one less is not a big deal. It is just a movie with an average box office. Even if it won a few insignificant awards, it has no impact on the West. How big.

But it caused an uproar in China. Wang Xu's identity is very strange. He is known to almost everyone in the Chinese scientific community. Even in medicine, they are all famous now.

But he is almost unknown in the fields of literature, history and social sciences. This is of course normal. After all, no one is perfect. This is in line with people's understanding of the concept of human beings.

But you, an outsider, blatantly slandered Western history, but for some reason it seemed like you had stirred up a huge hornet's nest. For a while, all kinds of demons and ghosts in China began to criticize Wang Xu, until they exchanged harsh words.

The movie was made more than a year ago. From the screenwriter to the director, everyone became famous in one shot. They really made a big impact out of small things. The actors in this film were not very well paid, but in the end they all received big red envelopes from Wang Chao. It can be said that Everyone is happy.

The entertainment industry is like this. You are not afraid of arguments, but you are afraid that no one will ask. Later generations will say that black and red are also red. Although it is not so extreme now, it is an indisputable fact that controversy brings topics, and topics bring box office.

Especially in the 1990s, when everyone was interested in art and philosophy, this kind of humanities and social sciences attracted the most attention. Then naturally, there are countless real scholars who are unwilling to be left alone and end up in various conflicts.

But the problem is that Wang Xu has also found a few archaeologists who really have this idea as consultants. He will start a verbal spat with them in newspapers when nothing happens, and the fight will actually go back and forth.

After all, if Western history is compared to Chinese history, there is really nothing comparable, and their evidence is really too weak. It was copied from Greek to Arabic and translated back from Arabic, but the originals of both ancient Greek and Arabic were missing.

As for the various archaeological evidences, the main battlefield for debate is in China. Even the scholars who hold opposing views have rarely seen Western archaeological sites, let alone ordinary people and a group of followers of Western philosophy.

Hehe, there is no evidence to prove it, so what are you afraid of? It's noisy, and no one will die. Wang Xu happily fanned the flames and even funded several scholars to publish several best-selling books specifically questioning Western history.

You have to say whether Wang Xu believes it or not. In fact, Wang Xu himself doesn’t know. After all, there are too many views from various aspects in later generations, and there are also many anti-intellectual ones. If you want to sort out the context from them, you will have to be a poor man for decades. Wang Xu can I don't have the leisure time.

But he is really curious about whether a lot of Western history is true. After all, they can even turn the events of World War II into a magical blockbuster about Ugly country saving the world. Things from hundreds or thousands of years ago are really nothing. Hard to say.

Although the West has always promoted science and rationality, when it comes to the subject of archeology, it is really not that scientific and rational. Many things seem to be fake at first glance.

But the thing is not in Wang Xu's hands, and archeology will not bring Chinese people together. Even if Wang Xu wants to do something, he doesn't have the time, so he simply funds a group of people who really like to do research.

Many ancient Chinese books have been falsified, but falsification does not mean that the ideas contained in them are wrong. Even if the Tao Te Ching was not written by Lao Tzu, its profound ideological connotations are still shining pearls.

Likewise, "The Republic", even if it was not written by Socrates, the speculations in it are still great philosophical discussions. There is no doubt about this.

Aristotle, whether this person exists or not, has nothing to do with the spread of the idea of ​​the supremacy of reason and knowledge.

Wang Xu does not believe that there is an inevitable connection between the authenticity of this thing and its ideological connotation. What Sakyamuni said and what the Sixth Patriarch Huineng said are both philosophical thoughts. It is even difficult to say whose is greater.

The key is that it is enough that readers can get ideological enlightenment from it, no matter who wrote it.

"Shang Shu" was proven to be a forgery hundreds of years ago, but its important status as one of the Four Books has never been ignored.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is simply a novel, but the various military, political, and cultural ideas contained in it are also treasures.

This is the division between thought and author, and even thought and history itself. Let thought belong to thought and history belong to history. Don’t confuse the two.

In fact, our ancestors did it hundreds of years ago. "Jinwen Shangshu" was first falsified, and then "Guwen Shangshu" was also falsified, causing an uproar. At one time, one of the four books of "Shangshu" was even cancelled. status of one.

However, in the end, the thought prevailed, that is, the forgery is also a classic, and it regained its status as one of the four books.

Therefore, Wang Xu has always felt that it is natural to question Western history now. Respecting their achievements does not mean accepting all their rhetoric. Although China is not as confident as this nation, it must remind everyone that you believe whatever others say, and you have a scientific questioning spirit.

In later generations, even the "Dead Sea Scrolls" collected by the Ugly National Museum were proven to be fake. You can just say that there is nothing else they can't do. For religious interests, political interests, and even financial interests, there is really no need for others to say Believe whatever you want.

But Wang Xu has such thoughts, which does not mean that others also have such thoughts. In fact, China has had a group of Western believers since its hundred years of humiliation. That is not learning, but a belief. This is unscientific, isn't it?

This kind of thinking has a big market in China, in the early days, in the Bang Kingdom and even the Asan Kingdom. Wang Xu's movie is undoubtedly like digging up their ancestral graves, stabbing people's lungs. It's very uncomfortable. .

Then naturally more people joined in, not just Chinese people, people from Xiangjiang, and even people from Xiaoli joined the discussion. Until some extremists started issuing all kinds of death threats, well, you know, and then nothing happened.

The final result was that the debate in the newspapers subsided, at least in China. There was not much noise outside, and as time went by, it gradually disappeared.

Wang Xu was also suppressed by Director Jiang, which had a lot to do with the fact that he had not published any works for a long time.

What? Didn't Wang Xu find someone to sign his name, but he couldn't resist the fact that those people respected him too much. It is said that he was the creative idea of ​​this book, and he is also the outline of the story. According to the rules, his name is still listed as the first author of the novel.

Well, having a high reputation is not always a good thing. It becomes extremely difficult to find someone to take the blame.

When I moved to Shanghai, I didn’t expect that there would be so many messy things. I’ve been waiting for a few days. I’m sorry to everyone, but I can only do my best. At fifty years old, I can’t handle writing programs during the day and writing novels at night.
