Chapter 566 Infringement Case
"Eddie is an underrated work, and its educational significance and ideological value are definitely a maverick existence in today's popular idol dramas......"
"Here, as an ordinary viewer, I call on industry insiders to shoot less transformation warrior Aaron and more Eddie. As long as your work is good enough, the audience will never disappoint your expectations......"
"To sum up, Eddie is the first surprise we have received in 2021, and it may also be the last, and we will see and cherish it!"
Put your mother's stinky shit!
Annoyed, he pulled up the mouse and forked off the "Film and Television Observation" video that was playing, Li Xinglong turned to the assistant and asked, "What is the origin of this person?"
"Freelance film critic?"
The little assistant trembled and said: "Maybe the position is inclined to Pengda, which is called the number one licking dog of PD by fans, and has a good reputation on the Internet, with more than 100 million fans on the whole network." ”
Sure enough, it's Meng Thief's minions!
It's no wonder that when he advocated Eddie, he didn't forget to step on the transformation warrior Aaron, who "died young", which turned out to be the rotten money of the black pig.
Hmph, wait and see......
Li Xinglong thought confidently with his chin in his hands. As the so-called thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, when his sun warrior is broadcast, these people are waiting to regret it.
What a black pig Meng dog Jiangchuan little overlord, all of them are vulnerable!
He Li Xinglong is the king of children!
"Director Li?"
The assistant reminded: "The partner has arrived, Mr. Wang invites you to the conference room for a meeting." ”
"Okay! I'll go!"
Rubbing his aching eyes because he stayed up late to make PPT, Li Xinglong put on his notebook and strode to the multi-functional conference hall on the fourth floor of Haitian Film and Television.
All the partners are here.
Mr. Wang nodded at him, and Li Xinglong confidently connected to the port and used PPT projection to explain the confidential content of "Sun Warrior" to more than a dozen cooperative enterprises present.
"Look, everybody!"
"In the middle is our Sun Warrior, on the left is our Moon Warrior, and on the right is the Earth Warrior......"
"These three warriors can be issued as separate model dolls. With a modular assembly design, not only can you freely change accessories, but you can even change different forms! You can see that this is the day and night form of the Sun Warrior, and there is also a supernova form......"
Partners whispered.
With Li Xinglong's explanation, a business representative in the audience couldn't help but ask: "Forgive me for interrupting, did you conduct market research when designing these three fighters?"
"I don't really understand what you mean......"
"It's very simple! Your so-called Sun Warrior already has the same model on the market, and it is more well-known and has a more beautiful design. I really don't see any competitiveness in this product. ”
"Impossible!"
Li Xinglong burst into flames, slapped the table and questioned: "The Sun Warrior's plan is kept secret throughout the whole process, and our designers are forbidden to use all communication tools. You say there's a similar model on the market, but that's impossible!"
"But it's true!"
The representative of the company clasped his hands, stared at the model picture displayed on the PPT and said with interest: "I dare not say that it is 100% consistent, but at least half of the modeling design is similar to what you show in PPT." ”
Half the same?
Mr. Wang and Li Xinglong were shocked.
This ratio can be said to be almost exactly the same. Their sun warriors were copied before they were born?
Who did it?
When this happens, the meeting naturally can't go on. Li Xinglong and Mr. Wang, who were full of horror, soon got the same Sun Warrior that had been released in the mouth of their partners.
Product Name: Stellar Warrior
Manufacturer: Lebao (Jiangchuan) Co., Ltd
Production date: 2020.12.03
Li Xinglong: "......"
"A month ago!
Mr. Wang slapped the table and roared: "We just finished the design in November, and they made the finished product in early December, how can there be such a coincidence! This is plagiarism, shameful plagiarism!"
Despicable and shameless Meng Hei Pig!
It is impossible to defeat Haitian in an open and honest way, and can only use such filthy and obscene means? It is really a cancer in the industry, and it is disgusting.
He can make a fortune, and we are all responsible!
......
"What's that?"
"Haitian sued you?"
After receiving a call from Du Fang, CEO of Lebao, Meng Lang was puzzled and said: "Why? Lebao's business is overseas, and there is no film and television-related department, how did it provoke Haitian?"
"It looks like an intellectual property lawsuit!"
"One of our toys infringed on their intellectual property rights, so they filed a lawsuit. ”
Du Fang was also puzzled, and explained to Mr. Meng: "Lebao cut off the independent project, I went to check, this toy authorization comes from the parent company, they seem to have made a mistake." ”
Parent company?!
Meng Zai was stunned.
Lebao's parent company, that's not Pengda Group. The question is, when did Pengda infringe Haitian's intellectual property rights?
"What's that toy called?"
"Seems to be called a stellar warrior......"
Stellar Warriors? Sun Warriors?
Not to mention whether the infringement case is established, these two names alone are already easy to confuse.
Where did this thing come from?
With the idea of finding the root cause, Meng Lang asked about the relevant projects in the WeChat group chat of the executives, but no one knew.
"Wait, I seem to know ......"
Wang Kui replied weakly: "I really don't know about the stellar warriors, but PD Animation submitted an application not long ago, and they want to tap the potential of the Mars City project and develop a magnificent universe series. ”
This Meng Lang also knows!
After the acquisition of Lebao, all the independent projects were transferred to Pengda Group at a low price, including Lebao's Death Mars City.
After all, it is a complete project, and it also has a follow-up development plan, and even has the movie "The Martian" as an IP extension. After getting the Mars City project, Pengda also wanted to save the product as much as possible.
So there's the Universe series!
It's certainly unrealistic to make another "The Martian", but it's not that difficult to make a spin-off animation, or even a comic.
Therefore, the universe series is classified under PD animation.
After so long, Meng Lang thought that they had given up on this series. Unexpectedly, by mistake, a stellar warrior was drummed up!
There are also Martian warriors, Mercury warriors......
According to his further consultation, it turns out that the ideas of Stellar Warriors, Martian Warriors, and Mercury Warriors come from the Super Sentai series.
They wanted to make a "multi-protagonist" hero animation, in the name of the eight planets of the solar system, to embark on an adventure together and defeat the powerful enemies of the universe.
The sequel is all considered!
The first part is called "Solar System", the second part is called "Milky Way", and the third part is called "Virgo Star Cluster......
I have to say, the brain hole is quite big!
But here's the problem!
Did the design of the stellar warrior copy the Sun Warrior of Haitian?
"Mr. Meng, you're too worried!"
The relevant person in charge scratched his scalp and explained: "This appearance problem does not actually constitute plagiarism. Their prosecution is completely vexatious. ”
"Why do you say that?" Meng Lang said curiously.
"Well...... this"
"Strictly speaking, whether it is our stellar warrior or the sun warrior announced by Haitian. The styling design is borrowed from the sun god Helios in ancient Greek mythology, so they look the same. ”
So that's it!
After listening to this explanation, Meng Lang was immediately relieved. What he feared didn't happen, it was a pure coincidence.
Sue and sue!
What's the matter? Helios, the god of the sun, belongs to your family? Can Haitian copy Pengda?
