Because Don said the wrong thing, the two didn't go to see "Les Miserables", but went to see a children's comedy in the introduction of the theater.

Natalie's idea is simple, it's all a bunch of children, Don can't have any bad intentions, right?

According to the staff, this children's drama troupe is called the "Theater Naughty Boys" group, with an average age of 10 years old. Originally from Pennsylvania, he came to New York to perform on weekends, not to make money, but to be brave and see the world.

Their performance hall is small, and the audience is pitiful.

Judging from the enthusiastic performance of the audience, it is very likely that they are all parents of the children.

Don was embarrassed, "This...... Interesting?"

Natalie lifted her chin and smiled, "I feel safe looking at this." ”

But when the play began, Don was speechless.

The children's show turned out to be "Harry Potter"!

The book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was released in the United States last year, but because of the lack of promotion, the response was mediocre and the sales were not high.

But I didn't expect that the influence of this book among children was so strong, and this group of children from Pennsylvania actually choreographed a stage play.

Don has an ominous premonition, will "Harry Potter" suddenly become popular?

This is very inconsistent with his industrial plan!

"It seems that David should be urged to take the copyright of the last four parts of "Harry Potter" as soon as possible. ”

Don's mind wandered, but he soon paid attention to the children's performances, just like Natalie.

Natalie is curious about the Harry Potter story, Donne...... He's paying attention to a little girl.

"She's actually acting in a stage play?"

Don was speechless in surprise.

……

At the end of the performance, Don pulls Natalie and walks backstage.

The staff immediately stopped him, and Don was full of confidence, "Hello, I'm Don Walker." ”

"Director Walker?"

The staff was stunned for a moment, looked Donn up and down, a little unsure, looked at him, and immediately found Natalie Portman, and her face turned red, "Wave...... Miss Portman?"

Tang En frowned, and said very politely: "I want to talk to your troupe responsibly, your performance of "Harry Potter" is suspected of infringement!"

The right to adapt a book, unless it is specifically indicated as a film copyright, is usually the copyright of television, film, advertising, music, stage play and other related aspects.

The adaptation rights of the stage play "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" are in the hands of Donn.

Soon, Captain Wilson rushed to Donne.

"Mr. Wilson, I'm sorry, but the rights to adapt this play are currently in my hands, and I don't remember that I have ever received any application for adaptation. ”

The other party was a gentleman in his fifties, and Donn's tone was very tactful and kind.

Natalie's expression was indifferent, although she was surprised, she would not affect the normal business operation because of personal preferences.

Infringement, it's just not right!

In particular, intellectual property rights are the key objects of protection in the United States, and the FBI can directly participate in the investigation, which is no worse than the energy of the tax authorities.

Head Wilson's heart tightened for a while, "Mr. Walker, we are just a folk performance group, mainly to cultivate children's artistic sense and performance hobby, we are not a profit-making organization, so we ......"

Donn waved his hand, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson, we bought tickets to get in." ”

Head Wilson was in a hurry, looking very nervous, "Mr. Walker, the ticket matter has nothing to do with us, it is the income of the theater, and we can't get a penny." The purpose of our performance is very simple, to strengthen the children's courage. ”

Natalie's face was cold, and when she saw more and more people watching, she pulled Don by the hand, "Why don't you let the lawyer handle it, let's get out of here first." ”

"Miss Portman!"

Director Wilson begged with a face that once he let the lawyer deal with it, even if the compensation was not much, it would never be something that their children's troupe could afford.

The controversy here has attracted the attention of many parents, who all respect the head of Wilson's personality and want to help him when they see him in trouble.

But on the other side is Donn Walker, a great Hollywood director!

And listening to the tone of both sides, Tang En is obviously fearless.

In any case, infringement is just wrong.

Don sighed, "Mr. Wilson, I can see that everyone respects you very much, which means that you really think about these children, but you have violated my rights and interests after all, are you right?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Commander Wilson nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Walker, I am willing to make reparations." If possible, for the sake of the children......"

Tang En smiled, came to the young actors of the troupe who had already removed their makeup, squatted down, and looked at them with a smile.

The young actors have indeed cultivated an atmospheric character, and in the face of the eyes of Hollywood directors, they don't hide or dodge, and even a few young actors are still pleading for President Wilson.

Tang En squatted in front of the young actors very kindly, and asked with a smile: "Since you all understand that infringement is wrong, should you be punished?"

"Should ......"

A weak voice sounded, which was quickly interrupted by the voice of another pheasant, "We should not be punished, we are minors, we are not violating the law!"

Don laughed out loud with a "poof".

The onlookers also couldn't help laughing.

Everyone saw Don's attitude, in front of this group of children, he definitely had no idea of pursuing it to the end, otherwise it would be impossible to show favor like this.

"You're not breaking the law, but Captain Wilson is an adult, what if he is arrested by the police?" Don said to everyone with a smile.

"That ......"

"No, you can't arrest him!"

"I'll give you these candies, don't embarrass Captain Wilson, okay?"

……

The young actors are innocent, and even Natalie, who has been watching coldly, is a little moved.

Donn smiled back at Commander Wilson, "Great boys. ”

Captain Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the young actors' eyes, and they were all approving, "Yes, they are all excellent, maybe in a few years, some of them will be able to go to Hollywood to act in movies." ”

Don smiled, didn't take the pot, and said to the young actors: "Children, Captain Wilson made a mistake, and if any of you is willing to sing a song, I won't hold him responsible, okay?"

"Good!"

The immature voices of the little actors are in unison.

Soon, a delicate and generous, blonde little girl walked out, with sunken eye sockets and high eyebrows, already showing a bit of rebellious and stubborn character.

"I'll sing, Madonna's 'Hypnosis Story'. ”

Tang En was delighted and immediately applauded, "It's an honor, this beautiful young lady, to know your name?"

She held her head high, not at all like a ten-year-old girl, very angry, "My name is Taylor, Taylor Swift, in fact, I can't act, I can't sing, I'm a poetess!"

The crowd laughed.

Little Taylor's mother, Andrea Swift, hurried over with pride and pride on her face, and said to Donn: "She wrote a poem this year, with more than 120 lines, and won the championship of the youth category of this year's National Poetry Competition. ”

"More than one hundred and twenty lines, that must be three or four pages, right?" Don was stunned, he didn't expect Taylor Swift to show extraordinary lyric talent at such a young age.

Little Taylor raised his chin, shook his head and said proudly: "Yes, that poem is the inspiration given to me by "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", called "The Monster in My Closet", so you can't restrict us from performing "Harry Potter"!"

Don smiled, "Then you sing, if it's good, I'll license you to perform for free, okay?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone cheered.

Director Walker, what a generous!
