Investing in "Changjin Lake" has a return of several times? Many people were deceived and lost all their money

As one of the oldest professions, the scam industry is also keeping up with the times and innovating, but the core essence remains unchanged. The movie "Changjin Lake" was released during the National Day holiday in 2021, and eventually topped the Chinese movie box office list with a box office of 5.775 billion. At present, the sequel to "Changjin Lake", "Changjin Lake: Watergate Bridge", is currently in theaters. Behind the box office success of these two movies, the investment "scams" related to them are also being staged enthusiastically and secretly.

"Small investment, big returns, become a film investor, and share the box office dividends of "Changjin Lake"!" Since the first half of last year, many film and television companies have appeared on the market to publicly sell investment shares of "Changjin Lake" and its sequel "Watergate Bridge", and promised an investment return of up to 300%-500%.

In a rights protection group called "Changjin Lake Investors", a reporter from Xin Huanghe saw that more than 50 investors from all over the country, under the recommendation of different film and television companies, paid hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan to invest in the movies "Changjin Lake" and "Watergate Bridge". Not only did they fail to enjoy any investment dividends, but they encountered the film and television companies "running away" and faced the situation of losing all their money.

On February 18, Beijing Bona Film Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Bona Film"), the main investor and controller of "The Battle at Lake Changjin" and "Watergate", told the New Yellow River reporter that Bona Film has never authorized any third party to carry out financing business related to these two films. Any financing activities related to the film by any third party are illegal. It is recommended that the victims of the fraud report to the police as soon as possible.

Invest tens of thousands of dollars in "Changjin Lake", wait for profit sharing after the box office success?

Seeing the huge box office success of the "Changjin Lake" series of films, Mr. Qian sighed and said with a wry smile: "The movies are popular, but they have nothing to do with us." Now, Mr. Qian is concentrating on studying how to recover the 200,000 yuan he invested in them.

Just half a year ago, Mr. Qian, a Shanghai citizen, was still dreaming about the box office dividends of "Changjin Lake". In June 2021, he met an employee from Zhenjie Film and Television Media (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. on a social software, and the other party told him an "inside message": the movie "Changjin Lake", which cost 500 million yuan, will be released during the National Day holiday, and the box office is conservatively estimated to reach 2 billion yuan. At present, a Beijing company is selling a small amount of investment shares, and the return rate of income can reach three to five times.

With the help of the other party, Mr. Qian signed the "Cinema Film "Changjin Lake" Project Income Rights Transfer Agreement" with Haihui (Beijing) Film Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Haihui Film"), investing 200,000 yuan to purchase 0.04% of the investment share equity, waiting for the expiration of the six-month investment settlement period to enjoy the copyright income. "In order to dispel my concerns, the staff of Haihui Film specially showed me the relevant authorization letter for the investment share of "Changjin Lake"."

On September 30, 2021, after the release of the movie "Changjin Lake", the box office was booming. Mr. Qian happily calculated that he would have a profit of one million yuan in half a year. Unexpectedly, at the end of October, people on the Internet began to report that they were cheated by Haihui Pictures. He quickly contacted the staff of Haihui Pictures, but found that everyone had lost contact.

According to Qichacha, Haihui Pictures was established in 2015, with Zang Tongwei as the legal representative and its registered address in an office building on Liqing Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing. Currently, the office is empty and no one answers the multiple phone calls left by the company. On January 26, 2022, Haihui Pictures was listed in the list of abnormal operations by the Beijing Chaoyang District Market Supervision Bureau.

In desperation, Mr. Qian had to report the case to the Olympic Village Police Station of the Chaoyang Branch of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau for help. On February 13, a reporter from Xin Huanghe called the police officer in charge of the Olympic Village Police Station. The police officer said that with the assistance of the economic investigation department, the police station had filed a case against Haihui Pictures on suspicion of contract fraud. The case is still under investigation. At present, there are quite a few victims. It is recommended that victims who have not yet reported the case report the case as soon as possible.
