CRI听力:Chinese Horror Film Fined 500,000 yuan for Misrepresentation
The producers of Chinese horror film "Bunshinsaba 3", or BiXian, have won a law suit against those behind another horror series "Death is here 3" or Bi Xian Jing Hun.
A Beijing court ruled that "Death is here 3" must pay 500,000 yuan in compensation, that is about some 80 thousand US dolalrs.
The court also ruled that "Death is here 3" must apologise to "Bunshinsaba 3" for "malfeasant competition."
Basically each time a Bi Xian film was released a Bi Xian Jung Hun film was released around the same time to piggy-back off the publicity and good name of the former and even mislead the audience into believing it is also part of the successful franchise.
The "Bunshinsaba" series is directed by South Korean Ahn Byeong-ki.
It is his first foray into the Chinese market and has proved highly successful.
"Death is here 3" has earned 32 million yuan at the box office, while "Bunshinsaba 3" is to be released on Friday (July 4).
