Since the Huayi Brothers movie "Tai Chi 1" was released on September 27 this year, the concept of "mixed-blood kung fu" has aroused strong expectations from all parties. Combined with the release of pirated film sources at the premiere of "Painted Skin 2" not long ago, the theater has been sued for 1 million yuan in compensation. In this case, Huayi Brothers said very early that they are ready to carry out anti-piracy to the end, hoping to cause the industry to face up to the problem of piracy and jointly create a good market environment.
It is understood that Huayi Brothers also provided a complete anti-piracy plan for the release of "Tai Chi 1", deployed early warning and network-wide monitoring plans, and prepared communication and evidence collection plans for different communication channels. Huayi Brothers even said that if necessary, it will copy the "Painted Skin 2" model and defend its rights through legal means. For "Tai Chi 2", "1942" and "Zodiac", which will also be released in high density this year, Huayi Brothers will also carry out seamless anti-piracy work one after another, and strive to minimize the harm caused by piracy.
"Tai Chi" 1 and 2 are masterpieces that Huayi Brothers spent a lot of effort on this year, but not long after "Tai Chi 1" came off the production line, the piracy of the film has been overwhelming, and the Internet is full of piracy. Who is so bold, dare to take it This anti-piracy fighter in the domestic film industry is in action? What's even more puzzling is that facing a large number of illegal downloads of "Tai Chi 1", Huayi Brothers seemed unusually calm this time. Are they helpless in the face of reality, or are they planning to use this to brew a bigger anti-piracy move. ? Some people in the industry speculate that the reason why Huayi Brothers lost their voices this time is because the original creator of the illegal download of "Tai Chi 1" is Huayi Brothers himself.
With the release of "Tai Chi 1" and the release of "Tai Chi 2" in major domestic theaters, theoretically speaking, people who have not watched the first film will not walk into the theater to watch the next episode directly. Then, if people who can see "Tai Chi 1" through other channels, even if only a small number of people are interested in the next episode of the film, there will still be a large number of audiences who will go into the theater to buy tickets to watch the next episode. For the copyright owner, of course, the most urgent thing is to let more people see "Tai Chi 1". To this end, between "Tai Chi" 1 and 2, Huayi Brothers may have added a film "A Thief Shouting to Catch a Thief" for the audience for free.
As we all know, in recent years, China has made great progress in the copyright protection of film and television works. The films that are being shown in theaters generally do not have pirated content from 1280 high-definition film sources. However, as soon as "Tai Chi 1" went offline this time, the Internet was flooded with the high-definition version of the film source, which had to make people suspect that the film source was from the copyright owner. Coupled with the uncharacteristic silence of Huayi Brothers this time, it is no wonder that some people speculate that Huayi Brothers, who has always played the role of "fire brigade" in the field of copyright protection, this time, covered his face and played an "arsonist".
