Resources came and went faster. It seemed that many people were confident that they had finished watching the free version, but most of them did not see it at all. Some people had caught the last bus, they had not finished watching the film or had not watched it yet. Instead, they were scared and broke out in a cold sweat.
It was still very cold in early spring. Many people had caught a cold because of it. For some reason, they had a bitter feeling of being punished for doing bad things.
Because of this matter, the internet was in an uproar. The top trending search was undoubtedly # Toxic Sea’s source leaked # .
This time, it was no longer the kind of low-definition video captured by the camera, but the highest-definition video quality.
It was also no longer the first edition of the cut-in ads. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was done through a copy of the source file, which had such an effect.
Everyone knew that someone had used malicious means to harm “Toxic sea”.
Now, who wanted toxic sea to be unlucky the most? As expected, suspicious gazes were cast on the people related to “Rescue operation”.
Some people had already started to discuss in private, but there was no real evidence, so everyone was just casually saying it.
Yun Xiangxiang posted a very, Very Long Weibo post at this time, which was her longest comment to date.
She even wrote the t.i.tle of the article: “If one day the film doesn’t need to be paid for”.

This t.i.tle was very eye-catching at this point. Coupled with her own popularity, it instantly attracted a lot of clicks.
In the article, she asked in a rhetorical tone, “What will happen if one day the film doesn’t need to be paid for?”?
Then, she answered her own question, and the film would be destroyed.
In this article, she a.n.a.lyzed the distribution of the film’s box office in detail.
Many people did not understand. They thought that a film with a few hundred million investment and a few billion at the box office would definitely make a lot of money.
In fact, it was not. This included business tax, special funds for the film industry, commissions for cinemas and cinemas, distributors, production costs..
She gave them an example. If a film was invested with 300 to 400 million yuan, the box office would need about 1.5 billion yuan. Only then would the investment not lose money. Only when the box office reached 3 billion yuan would the investment be able to earn more than 100 million yuan.
Therefore, the film investment was a high-risk investment. It was a low-profit investment.
“The sea of poison”had invested 400 million yuan. Now, the box office was less than 2 billion yuan. It was just barely at a loss.
If it was not at a loss, then from the preparation to the completion of the film, they had worked for more than a year. was that considered free labor?
Who could believe in this industry after working hard for more than a year without receiving the corresponding remuneration?
After she finished talking about the film industry, Yun Xiangxiang started another paragraph and asked what would happen if the film industry did not charge a fee?
The answer was that the actor that they liked would quit the film industry.
The box office proved the actor’s ability. If the actor did not have the ability, they would gradually be abandoned.
No producer would be willing to pay for him.
They would face the risk of losing their jobs. In order to support their families, they had to switch to other industries..
Yun Xiangxiang a.n.a.lyzed the importance of paying for a film from many angles and from the tone of a third party.
From the beginning to the end, she did not say a word in support of the legitimate version or condemn the address piracy.
Instead, she used the facts to tell them the necessity of charging for a film.
In the end, she used a rather delicate summary.
[ ... if there is a day when no one pays for a film, then the first to pay for the film will definitely be the actors, followed by the producer, then the investors, and finally... actually the audience, because you will no longer have a film to watch.
If you love film, then please don’t let it disappear from this world, from your world. ]
Everyone was silent after Reading Yun Xiangxiang’s article. They silently clicked “Like”, and a very small number of people left comments.
Compared to hysterically resisting piracy, or earnestly appealing for support for the legitimate version.
Yun Xiangxiang’s remarks, which did not mention the legitimate version but only mentioned the cause and effect, were even more poignant.
Even the activists did not know how to refute her words. She did not say that paying was the audience’s duty. She only told you what was the cause and what was the result.
Those who finished watching the movie in a short time all felt a little heavy-hearted.
Of course, there were also people who swore that from today onwards, they would go to the cinema and pay as much as they could to watch a good film.
Yun Xiangxiang’s article not only attracted many audiences, but also people in this industry. Regardless of whether they had interacted with Yun Xiangxiang or once hoped that Yun Xiangxiang was not good, they knew that it was sad, they all changed.
The phrase “If you love it, don’t let it disappear from your world”became a new buzzword.
The most direct effect was that the pre-sale of “Sea of poison”increased.
After a week, the box office of “Sea of Poison”once again broke 100 million on the 22nd day of its release.
It quickly made up for the losses of the previous day. At the same time, the box office of “Sea of poison”continued to improve for a few days. Hua Bingzheng, who accompanied Yun Xiangxiang in this risky move, let out a sigh of relief.
The resource leak was not resolved just like that. The director of “The Sea of poison”and the co-creators demanded to thoroughly investigate the reason for the leak of the film’s source. They had to give all the staff involved in the production a satisfactory explanation.
The online attention on this incident was also very high. They also wanted to know the truth about the leak of the film’s source.
The relevant departments quickly stepped in to investigate.
“G.o.ddess, we have kept all the evidence. Should we hand it over to the police now?”Yang Qi called Yun Xiangxiang to ask.
“There’s no need to rush. They will take the initiative to look for you.”
After all, the leak of the resources could be contained so quickly because of the help of a third party. The Ministry of Public Security would definitely notice this immediately.
“Our evidence is so complete. Isn’t it a little abnormal?”Yang Qi was worried that the public security would think too much. From what he knew, this kind of people were very suspicious.
“Your evidence is not complete, that’s why it looks like you’re trying to cover it up.”
Yang Qi and the others could not cover it up by interfering. Yun Xiangxiang did not plan to cover it up. Many people knew that she had a xin an company.
As her diehard fan, Yang Qi was not suspicious of anything related to her at all.
From the beginning to the end, she did not do anything illegal.
From hacking the computer to copying the source files to hiring a professional team to run the operation, all of these were done by Mi Lai herself.
She was only digging a hole for Mi Lai, and Mi Lai had jumped into it herself. What did it have to do with her?
Since Yun Xiangxiang had said so, Yang Qi immediately felt at ease. She came over to complain, “G.o.ddess, this time, we broke down a gang along the way. Fortunately, Xu Mo and I are smart. Otherwise, we would have really messed up.”
Not only yang qi, but even Yun Xiangxiang did not expect Mi Lai to go so far.
She hired a professional piracy team to cooperate. This team was very well-equipped. From the collection and distribution of resources to the platform launch and promotion, it was not worse than a regular team!
