Steal the box office? Plagiarized? The movie "Man Jiang Hong" responded.

According to media reports, on the evening of January 24, some netizens reported that after the movie ticket of "wandering Earth 2" was refunded by the cinema on the grounds of "equipment failure", it was found that the cinema had given up the same screening hall at the same time that day to Man Jianghong, which was released at the same time, causing controversy.

In this regard, the cinema staff involved told the Observer Network on the 25th that there was indeed a machine failure on the day of the refund, and it is also a common practice for cinemas to change the arrangement according to the film's attendance.

Weibo Corp, the official official of the movie "Man Jianghong", said in a statement on the 26th that the accusations of "Man Jianghong", such as "Ghost Field", "stealing the Box Office", "buying Box Office", "Capital manipulation" and "plagiarism" are nonsense. Some people with ulterior motives use a variety of means to spread rumors and take advantage of problems such as failures in individual studios or ticketing systems to maliciously attack trouble. The producers of Manjianghong are collecting evidence and have begun to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the film through litigation and other means in accordance with the law.

Statement

To all friends who care about and love "Manjianghong":

A number of domestic masterpieces have been released during the Spring Festival this year, and they have achieved good results in market performance and word-of-mouth, which has also injected a shot in the arm into the overall recovery of the film market. Unfortunately, we find that there have been many malicious rumors against "Manjianghong" on various platforms in recent days, and we are deeply saddened by this.

As creators, we welcome any discussion about the content of the film, but we regret that some people with ulterior motives deliberately spread rumors and maliciously smear them. This kind of behavior not only caused harm to the film "Man Jianghong", but also disturbed the market environment of the Spring Festival, and further hurt China's film industry.

In order to jointly maintain a good market environment, we did not want to declare our position and thought in good faith that this was only the act of a small number of people with ulterior motives, but as the current rumors have engulfed public opinion and affected a wider cinema audience, we believe that "Manjianghong" has the responsibility to make its own voice.

Here, we responsibly declare that the accusations of "Manjianghong", such as "Ghost Field", "stealing the Box Office", "buying the Box Office", "Capital manipulation" and "plagiarism" are all nonsense. Some people with ulterior motives use a variety of means to spread rumors and make use of problems such as failures in individual studios or ticketing systems to maliciously attack trouble. The producers of Manjianghong are collecting evidence and have begun to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the film through litigation and other means in accordance with the law.
