Chapter 190 Pushpins
Jerome is also a science fiction writer, his science fiction work "It's a Good Life" was selected as one of the "Top 100 Most Popular Science Fiction Short Stories in the World", he died in '98, and "This Man Comes from Earth" can be counted as his posthumous work.
His screenwriting works include the first season of "Star Trek: The Origin", the first season of "Star Trek: Blurred Time and Space", and the film screenwriting works include "Yin and Yang Demon World", "Magical Journey", "Alien Villain", "The Curse of the Faceless Man", "Tiger Hunt", "Into Space" and so on.
In order to confirm Mark's plagiarism, Aaron bought the DVD of "This Man is from Earth" and the novel to compare, "This Man is from Earth" is about a "undead" who has lived on Earth for 14,000 years, in the sixties of the last century, Jerome had such an original idea, in the nineteenth episode of the third season of "Star Trek: The Original Series" written by him, the crew of the "Enterprise" met an "undead" He also often appeared as famous figures in different historical periods, such as Alexander and Leonardo da Vinci.
And in "This Man Comes from the Earth", his original conception is enriched and refined, the protagonist is born as a "caveman", from then on he will not die, not even age, he has crossed mountains and rivers, and also crossed the long river of history, he continues to learn and adapt, he has learned how to integrate into the new environment, and he has also adapted to leaving again and again, and then the lonely repetition, a "immortal" and "immortal" person, and finally point to Jesus, to some extent is an inevitability.
As long as it is compared, Kitai can be sure that Mark plagiarized, he is a master of adaptation, and he does not say much about religion in the novel, and carries it forward in the film, which is mainly the embodiment of the director's thoughts, but the different characters in it also embody a variety of different concepts, introducing the history that everyone is familiar with, plus the distinctive "absurd" elements (science fiction), as a new background and stage, is a common way in some works such as science fiction, "alienating" what is familiar, intimate, and affirmative , forming a new and attractive sense of freshness.
But as long as you compare it, you can be sure that this product is plagiarism, and Mark does not mention this in the movie, this is not plagiarism, it is naked plagiarism, he is stealing the copyright of the dead, stealing the money of the dead, Aaron is very indignant about this, for this shameless shameless guy, he decided to make his scandal public, so that the people who worship him all over the world will know his true colors.
If the work is a collective creation or published before January 1, 1978, then the copyright remains for 75 to 95 years, and the works published before 1923 are in the public domain, but there are exceptions to this rule, some works in 1963 have entered the public domain, while others older than 1923 are still protected by copyright because they have been re-applied for copyright, and due to changes in the law, no works will enter the public domain until 2019。
Like Tolkien, the author of "The Lord of the Rings", all his works were managed by Tolkien's estate management fund after his death, and the proceeds were divided equally among the family.
Mark was still a student when he produced "This Man is from Earth", the production budget was only a pitiful 20,000 yuan, and the production team was a patchwork grass team, so it was impossible to spend money to buy the copyright, and there was no money to buy it, he probably wanted the other party to die, and he was not a celebrity, so he could take advantage of this.
Aaron rejoiced, if Jerome's descendants were found and prosecuted, it would not only discredit him, but also make him lose a huge amount of money.
Aaron found out that Jerome had two marriages, no children in the first marriage, and two sons in the second marriage, but this marriage only lasted for ten years before the divorce was agreed, and the two sons each raised one, his ex-wife and son divorced by agreement, and they had to read the content of the agreement to determine whether they had the right to inherit, but he also had a son, who ran a forest farm in Montana near the Canadian border, and lived in such a remote area, no wonder Lao Tzu's copyright was infringed and he didn't know, if he knew, he claimed tens of millions from Mark, and what farm he operated, and this money alone could earn a luxury car, villas, yachts of the glory and wealth of life.
Aaron feels proud when he thinks about himself, Mark he must not have thought that I will be the little pushpin that made him fall through the big somersault, and after making Mark ruined, he will also become a well-known figure in the entertainment industry, fame and fortune.
Mark spent a holiday in Switzerland and didn't return until after New Year, flew back to Los Angeles, and after a day of rest, he started work on the third and entered the Warner set to oversee the post-production of "Batman", which was mainly work on the soundtrack, special effects, etc.
He played easily, Meghan was not easy at all, after Christmas, and returned to New York, presiding over the acquisition of Marvel, she knew that this matter was very important, and it was also the first major acquisition in her life, she did not dare to take it lightly, the Marvel in hand was theirs, she resumed work on the second day of the new year, in order to take Marvel under its umbrella at the end of January, and at the same time in the operation of remote control MM.
MM is now mainly engaged in the release of "Wedding Aoke", "Love Notebook" is rushing, "Saw 2" post-production, "Singing and Dancing Youth", and the preparation of "Grey's Anatomy", which can be called in full bloom, while her eldest brother David is in the production of "Top Secret Flight" in a single one.
After working at work, when he supervised the production of "Batman", he took over part of the work of MM, and "The Wedding Guest" has decided to be released on Valentine's Day, which is operated by a professional team, and he does not have to worry about it, and he mainly provides some guiding advice for the preparation of "Grey's Anatomy".
Mark returned to the crew, many people congratulated him on having a supermodel girlfriend, as for Xiao Lizi, he had already left the group, I don't know if he would be unhappy, Mark knew that this guy was a chic character who could afford to let go, and persuaded Mark to chase Giselle, but others didn't know! Many people in the crew think that Mark is chasing Giselle, on the one hand, he is greedy for beauty, and on the other hand, he is taking revenge on Xiao Lizi, the hostility and discord between them is a nationally recognized thing, Barry and Kevin are big, and now the struggle between them is still within a reasonable range, but the hidden danger that is pressed down may break out that day, and the two Warner bosses are shocked by it.
Not only Barry and Kevin, but people all over the country think that Mark is chasing Xiao Lizi's ex-girlfriend, this is the opening of the national bloody drama, many people have prepared Coke and popcorn, and are waiting for the big drama to start, and the two kings will win the beauty, will it trigger a Hollywood version of the Trojan War?
Mark was hiding in the crew, elusive, and couldn't wait for an interview, while Xiao Lizi, who was doing his best to win the public relations award, couldn't escape being chased by reporters to intercept the interview, and they asked him what he thought about the matter.
Xiao Lizi looked calm: "This is a good thing! We have broken up, Giselle has the right to start a new life, I bless her." ”
However, including the reporters on the scene and the audience in front of the TV, they all thought that this guy was too hypocritical, so when the TV broadcast was broadcast, the TV station added special effects that his heart was bleeding, and there was also a sound effect of being stabbed with a knife.
And the heroine of this matter, Giselle, because of her work, needs to attend many occasions publicly, and she was inevitably asked this question by reporters, and she smiled happily: "I'm single, what's wrong with starting a new relationship? As for Mark and Leonardo, they are not at all what you think, they are friends." ”
The reporters said they didn't believe it, and there must have been a lot of secret motives in it, but Giselle was secretive and clever, and he didn't reveal anything useful or what the reporters wanted.
A reporter asked, "Who did you take the initiative?"
Giselle said happily: "You will not believe it, this is my initiative, I will speak about Mark first." In fact, the two of them can't talk about who takes the initiative and who makes the appointment first, everyone is the same, attracted to each other, and hit it off, Giselle said this, naturally it is to cater to Mark's hobby of good face, and the big beauty chases after him, which will make people envious.
The advantage is that Giselle took the initiative, and there is no statement that Mark chased Giselle to fight Leonardo.
A reporter asked loudly: "Who do you think is better, Leonardo or Mark?"
This question is even more tricky and difficult to answer, no matter how you answer it, the concept of a normal person, her boyfriend must be the next good, but Xiao Lizi is extremely popular, and his fans are not easy to mess with.
Giselle said: "This is my personal privacy, so it is inconvenient to disclose it to the outside world. ”
A reporter asked: "You entered the film industry last year with a "Taxi Queen", will you appear in Mark's movie?"
Giselle said: "If you have the right role, you don't have to put that out of the picture, Mark is a very good director, and it's an honor to be part of his film. ”
Giselle's cross-border attempt last year was a failure, she received a soft endorsement invitation in the model circle, and enjoyed the highest level of salary and treatment, while in the film industry, it was a third-rate, more than worth the loss, in the original version, she gave up the idea of this aspect, concentrated on the development of the modeling career, in this line, set an insurmountable peak, until the retirement was the world's highest-paid model, ranked the world's first model for ten years, retired to give newcomers a chance, this is the global beauty to stand in the model circle, how fierce the competition can be imagined, she can dominate for ten years, beauty and wisdom, indispensable。
Finally, a reporter asked: "What do you think of this year's Victoria's Secret show, and are you sure to endorse sky-high underwear."
