Chapter 140: Raising Eyebrows (7/10)

Sun Ruiqi and the three knew early on that there was a fierce man in their class, and they had published two works before they were admitted to the Chinese department, which is known as "we never train writers".

But they haven't taken it seriously, and now after suddenly searching for Zhang Chu's name, the news on the screen is overwhelming.

There are not only personal encyclopedias, but also links to personal related works, and news appears in the following column.

"Eh, look at the news!" An Mi pointed to the computer screen and said, "Brother Chu, your case has come to an end!"

Zhang Chu's spirit couldn't help but be shocked, the Seventh Circuit Court of the United States had made a public announcement of the case a few days ago, but the verdict was not given at that time, and it has been delayed until now.

Several heads immediately came together, and Sun Ruiqi quickly clicked on the news titled "U.S. Judge Makes Judgment on Sherlock Holmes Copyright".

If someone outside the door sees this scene, I'm afraid there will be a huge misunderstanding, and I think the four of them are concentrating on appreciating **** or something!

According to the time difference, it is now morning in the United States, and when the court has just opened, it has welcomed a large number of media reporters, and as soon as the results of the case are announced, it immediately spreads all over the world.

In Zhang Chu's view, his side was already reasonable, and he also had the help of the three major lawyers, so there was no possibility of failure at all.

At this time, the results were obviously out, but he had a feeling of gaining and losing.

[The original characters of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his close friend John Watson are no longer protected by copyright!]

Judge Richard Posner of the above-mentioned Court for the Seventh Circuit held that the 95-year copyright term could not be extended simply by altering the image of these two century-old literary characters in later episodes.

When the copyright of the original story expires, the characters in the story can be used fairly for future authors.

The Conan Doyle Foundation only owns the rights to the last 10 Sherlock Holmes stories, and after 2020, all rights will expire, at which point The Complete Sherlock Holmes Detective Works will be completely in the public domain!

In other words, Zhang Chu's "Detective Sherlock" does not have any infringement, and it can be listed normally in the United States!]

The four of them watched the news almost at the same time, and then breathed a long sigh of relief in unison.

Strictly speaking, this has nothing to do with An Mi, Yang Ling and others, but they have a feeling of hatred and hatred.

At this time, no one remembered any traditions, and they chatted excitedly.

"You're going to be in the news again, it's completely different from the university I thought, with such a famous roommate. Sun Ruiqi sighed with emotion, and there will probably not be any dullness in her four-year college career.

"Yes, I thought I would lose this lawsuit at first, but then I watched the news on TV and analyzed the identities and legal terms of those lawyers in the United States, and I believed that you would win!"

"What are the procedures required to file a lawsuit in the United States?"

The smile on Zhang Chu's face became more and more obvious, and the lawsuit that had dragged on for a long time had finally come to an end, and there was always a worry.

After this verdict did not come out, Menglong Culture Media had no confidence in negotiating with the copyright of other overseas TV stations, and now after the United States can be launched in a bright light, it must be more attractive to those TV stations and film and television production companies.

"You'll have to get used to having such a great roommate. ”

Yang Ling muttered, "We have to get used to having a roommate who is 2 to the extreme!"

……

The news about Zhang Chu's victory on the Internet is also boiling, and the poor reporters and news editors have to work overtime at night to release relevant news.

At night, the number of users of various APPs is the largest, and there are tens of thousands of comments under Headlines, Xinlang News, Tencent News, and NetEasy News, and the number of reads is quite amazing.

At the same time, there are also high-rise buildings in many forums, and on the popular discussion list of the poster, Zhang Chu's victory has climbed all the way to the first, and there are also high-rise buildings in Hupu Pedestrian Street, and even QQ groups and WeChat groups have discussions, not to mention Weibo!

This is a hot topic on the whole Internet, just like a counterattack and a slap in the face by waste materials on the Internet, an ordinary little writer actually went abroad to overturn the foundation, it was like a dream.

"I thought it would come out a few days ago, but now I've won the case. ”

"There is a lack of such a serious person as Zhang Chu now, why should he pay money to the foundation in vain. I don't know how many authors and companies have been sucked by them over the years!"

"Praise Zhang Chu, his courage is commendable!"

"I actually won the lawsuit, I thought Zhang Chu would lose. ”

"I have to say that foreign countries are still very good in this regard, and I hope to see film and television works as soon as possible. ”

"Didn't you say some time ago that a TV station was rushing to buy it? Why is there no news now? Could it be that Zhang Chu is hyping it?"

……

"Bang Bang Bang"

There was a sudden knock on the door.

The door to Bedroom 222 was wide open for ventilation, and the sudden sound caused the four of them to turn their heads almost simultaneously.

Zhang Chu thought that it was the dormitory next door or the dormitory opposite, but he didn't expect that the assistant counselor Jia Zhi and another man in his thirties who were standing at the door of the dormitory were Jia Zhi, the assistant counselor he saw when he signed up before.

"Looks like you're pretty well housekeeping, can we come in?"

The strange man spoke, his eyes surveying the environment of the bedroom, simple but neat, things arranged in an orderly manner.

Anmi stood up and said with a smile, "Please come in, please come in." ”

"This is the counselor of your class, Mr. Liao Wangyang Liao, he has something to tell you. Jia Zhi opened his mouth and introduced.

Zhang Chu and the others knew that there was such a person, but they didn't expect the counselor to come directly to check on the bed, and they didn't know what to do.

Liao Wangyang looks short and chubby, but the whole person is quite kind, and there is no frame at all.

He said simply: "It's not a big deal, I just came to see if you are used to living in Yan University, by the way, I will inform you that tomorrow afternoon I will go to Room 309 of Building 6 of the Lee Shau Kee Humanities Garden for a class meeting, and then I will tell you about the things to pay attention to in life and study." You can also take a look at the new student handbook now, which goes into more detail. ”

"Teacher Liao, how long is the specific time?" Yang Ling asked.

Liao Wangyang patted his forehead, "At half past six in the evening, be on time, don't be late." In addition, Zhang Chu, you still have a difficult task on you. ”

"Me?"

Zhang Chu asked suspiciously, he didn't know what the counselor was looking for him, don't be a class cadre, that was definitely a refusal.

"Director Yan of our department recommends that you go to this year's freshman opening ceremony to speak on behalf of all freshmen, see if you can work hard, write out the manuscript within two days today and tomorrow, and hold the ceremony on time at nine o'clock in the morning next Monday. ”
