No, the copyright of Yi Zhongtian's new book "The Three Kingdoms" was awarded to Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House through bidding half a month ago. Just half a month later, "Yi Zhongtian's Three Kingdoms" quietly appeared in Beijing On individual stalls. Yesterday, Yi Zhongtian issued a statement that his book will not be released until August. This book is an illegal publication and consumers are reminded not to be fooled.
In the statement, Yi Zhongtian and Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House also listed some differences between the real book to be published in August and this illegal publication: the cover of the real book is printed with CCTV and "Baijia Forum" , China International Television Corporation and other words or logos are not found on the illegal publications; the real book contains 25 episodes, while the illegal publications only contain 13 episodes; the text in the real book was rewritten by Mr. Yi Zhongtian and is not exactly the same as the broadcast version. The content is richer and the materials are more detailed. The fake book only has broadcast content and has many errors.
According to the tripartite agreement between the copyright parties, Zhenshu will also distribute a CD produced by CCTV International, the content of which is the "Hundred Forum" column and Mr. Yi Zhongtian's program specially recorded for the book. The content is not broadcast, online, or retailed. It is only included with the book, and it is impossible for fake books to have this CD. (Source: Beijing Entertainment News)
