Chapter 293: An Unexpected Visit

(No one thought that the consequences of Pani's uploading of the Japanese military flag would be so serious.) Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Pani's variety show "Sister's" Because of this incident, she was forced to get out of the car and quit. Originally, this incident was enough to make her sad for Pani, but a Korean media actually slandered the apology letter written by Pani herself, saying that the full stop after each of her sentences was written as love, indicating that she had no sincerity at all about the apology, but the Korean dogs believed it again, and someone shouted at Pani to let her quit Girls' Generation. I just want to say one thing here, did you paralyze your mother by millions of people in turn? Pani was born in the United States, not in South Korea, and she only learned about Korean traditional festivals and other things later, unlike you Korean dogs who were born to know these days! You were born in South Korea and naturally remember these days, she received a Western education since she was a child, and the cultural differences are very different from those of Koreans, and besides, she has apologized and paid the price for this incident! What do you want to do when you are paralyzed? Sika quits the group, you feel sorry for you one by one, and you are very satisfied! Pani was forced to retreat by you, and you are very satisfied? If the paralysis is really as you want, sooner or later, you will regret it to the point that you want to give your own mother a turn, believe it or not? I don't know if the Korean dogs can see it, but I just want to scold, what kind of bullshit is only nine meals, and you don't have the belief that you insist on letting Pani quit if such a thing happens? So one day, your father and mother inadvertently insulted South Korea, do you still want to kill your father and mother and your whole family with a knife? Do you still want to cut down all the people who have a relationship with your father and mother? What a? )

(Originally, there was still some daily life after Taeyeon cheered up, because of the Pani incident, I planned to skip it, speed up some processes, and change some settings, originally planned to write about Tessie's love in March 10, and Taeyeon Pani's love affair from June to September, but now it's all focused on writing in 09.) And what can be guaranteed is that if it can be written in the book for 16 years, this incident of Pani will not happen, it will happen to one of the most unpopular artists of all SONE. )

Kim Tae-yeon's statement that she would see the results the next day is not actually a result, because what she said was the broadcast of "Beethoven Virus" and the first official release of her song "Can You Hear It" be released outside of music websites.

During her trip to Shanghai to attend a family concert, the Beethoven virus has been broadcast on South Korean television, and "Can You Hear It" was officially in front of the public, appearing in "Beethoven Virus" for the first time.

It has always been a mystery which TV series "Can You Hear" was chosen as OST, no one knows where it came from, only that this song is a song sung by Kim Taeyeon, the captain of Girls' Generation, with a beautiful and sad melody, and Kim Taeyeon's perfect singing skills, so that everyone who has heard this song can't help but fall deeply into the magic of this song, as if it has a fatal attraction.

It wasn't until the broadcast of "Beethoven Virus" that everyone found out that "Can You Hear It" turned out to be the OST in this TV series.

Seven days after "Beethoven Virus" aired, the day after Kim Tae-yeon told her brother, "Can You Hear It" was officially released as an OST single.

This time, the Korean entertainment industry began to fry again, and on the first day of the release of the single CD of "Can You Hear", the sales exceeded 20,000.

Since then, Kim Taeyeon has begun to resume work, and with the repercussions brought by "Can You Hear It", many programs in South Korea began to invite the popular Kim Taeyeon to participate.

On September 20th, Girls' Generation's work gradually resumed a bit, perhaps because the negative impact of the Black Sea gradually subsided, and fans did not pay so much attention to the impact of the dream concert. Taking advantage of the time when the influence receded, S.M began to work for Girls' Generation, and as Kim Tae-yeon's brother had explained, he used a lot of S.M's resources to get a notice for Girls' Generation.

It's just that despite some work, it's still a bit unsatisfactory, because these announcements are not very well-known shows.

But for the girls, that's enough, at least they don't have to sit idle at home all day long.

After regaining his motivation and returning to work, Kim Taeyeon had just left after participating in the stage and was about to go back to the company to see if there were any suitable jobs to attend, when Kim Yeon-gu received a phone call and asked Kim Taeyeon with a strange expression: "Taeyeon, there are two Americans in the company who want to see you, saying that they want to talk to you about your copyright infringement." ”

"What? Copyright infringement? How could I have ever done such a thing? Uncle, are you not mistaken?" was already tired enough, and was about to fall asleep, but such a news came, Kim Taeyeon's sleepiness was dispelled a lot, and he asked Kim Yeon-gu in disbelief.

"I don't know, the company is now waiting for those two Americans in the company, just contacted me to ask me to take you back to meet them, if necessary, the company should use the law to help you.

Kim Yeon-gu's words made Kim Taeyeon fall into deep thought, she didn't remember anything about copyright infringement at all, and besides, she was still from the United States, so it was even more impossible for her to do such a thing, she had only been to the United States once, how could she infringe copyright.

Wait a minute...... The last time she went to the United States, she brought back some American comics, which were later adapted into her novel "The Walking Dead of the Last Days."

These two Americans, who are waiting for them in the company, can't they be the authors of this comic? Adapting a novel into a novel is not an infringement by reason? There is no law that stipulates that adapting a novel is an infringement, otherwise how can there be so many people who write novels? Not to mention that the United States and South Korea are so far apart, it is too ridiculous to chase them here from the other side of the ocean to pursue infringement, right?

Thinking of this, Kim Taeyeon saw that Kim Yeon-gu hadn't hung up the phone yet, so she asked Kim Yeon-gu: "Uncle, can you help me ask if there is a person named Robert Kirkman among the two Americans?"

Hearing this, Jin Yangu asked on the other end of the phone, and then replied to Kim Taeyeon with a strange face: "There is a man named Robert Kirkman, how do you know?"

"I guess it has something to do with my novel...... Kim Taeyeon was speechless, he is really the comic book author of "The Walking Dead", he came here from the United States to pursue his infringement, what is he trying to do?

couldn't figure out the reason for this, and Kim Taeyeon had no idea, so she had to promise to go back to the company to meet these two people first, and then make a final decision.

…………

When Kim Taeyeon came to S.M.'s reception room to meet the two Americans mentioned on the phone, one of them, a fat man who was not very tall, stood up and greeted Kim Taeyeon in English.

“,。 (Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Robert Kirkman and this is Corey Walker)"

“。

。 Kim Taeyeon also replied in English, leaving both the translator and Kim Yeon-gu who were following the two people stunned.

They didn't expect Kim Taeyeon to speak English, and she was so fluent in American English. However, this is also good news, at least there is no language barrier, and it is convenient to move on to the next step of the negotiation.

"I'm sorry to bother you so suddenly, are you the author of "The Walking Dead of the Last Days"?" said the two sides and sat down, and Robert Kirkman asked Kim Taeyeon first.

"Year, it's me, I'm the one who wrote this book. ”

"Excuse me, where did the inspiration and plot for your book come from?"

But because of the other party's polite gesture, Kim Taeyeon had no choice but to hold back the doubts in his heart and explained: "The inspiration and plot of this book came from a comic book "The Walking Dead" released in the United States, and most of the plots in it are the same as in the comics, in which I made some modifications and wrote the comics in the form of text and compiled them into a novel and posted them on the Internet. ”

Hearing her answer, Robert Kirkman turned his head to look at Corey Walker, and after some exchange of words, he turned back to Kim Taeyeon and said, "So Miss Kim Taeyeon, do you know that you have infringed the copyright of our "The Walking Dead" by doing so?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know, I just thought the comic was good, but I couldn't substitute myself into the character in the comic, so I tried to describe it in a literal way, and I substituted myself into the character according to the sentences described, so I wrote this book, and I didn't know that it was a copyright infringement. Kim Taeyeon replied truthfully that she really tried to write this novel because she thought so, who knew that the book would be so good, originally just planned to write for fun, just write a few dozen chapters and forget it, but it turned out to be written until now, and even wrote a plot that was not in the comics.

"In that case, then I would like to formally inform you, because Miss Kim Tae-yeon's novel "The Walking Dead of the Last Days" has infringed the copyright of my manga "The Walking Dead", and then I will officially hire a lawyer to hold you accountable, I hope you can stop writing, and at the same time, I hope you will hand over the draft of the novel you wrote to us to avoid the original manuscript from circulating. As for those novel chapters that have been posted on the Internet, I also hope that you can contact the station to remove them from the shelves and no longer make them public. ”

Kim Taeyeon was stunned when she heard him say this, the other party seemed to be very prepared, and even planned to take legal means to solve the matter.

"Taeyeon, what did he say? Seeing Kim Taeyeon's hesitant expression, Kim Yeon-gu asked Kim Taeyeon softly.

"They told me to stop writing the novel and give them all the manuscripts I had written so far, or they would go to court with a lawyer and sue me for infringement. ”

"What?" Kim Yeon-gu was taken aback when he heard it, although he had known that the other party was going to pursue Kim Taeyeon's infringement, but he still couldn't accept it after getting an accurate answer at the moment.

He has always been by Kim Taeyeon's side, as her agent, he knows very well what kind of impact "The Walking Dead of the Last Days" has brought to Kim Taeyeon, if there is no book, just with the popularity brought by "Can You Hear" and "If", Kim Taeyeon will definitely not be as concerned by so many people as before.

You must know that there are millions of people reading this book in South Korea, and if there is no attention from so many people, and Kim Tae-yeon's infringement is exposed, her popularity will definitely be affected.

Kim Taeyeon didn't know this, and she didn't want to see the novel she had worked so for more than a year be shattered like this.

However, just as Kim Taeyeon was thinking about how to solve this matter, a part of the memory came to his mind.

When Kim Tae-yeon carefully studied this memory, Kim Yeon-gu knew that the company's lawyer should come forward at this time, otherwise Kim Tae-yeon would definitely not be able to face the infringement alone.

Just about to talk to Kim Taeyeon about going to the company's lawyer to negotiate with these two people first, Kim Taeyeon made a move that he didn't expect.

"I'm sorry, but I can't say yes to your request. ”

For the two people who didn't have much chance of winning, they just gambled that they would go to court to fight a lawsuit to scare Kim Taeyeon, but they were unexpectedly rejected by Kim Taeyeon, and the two of them were deeply surprised.

"First of all, this is South Korea, and there is no legal provision on online novels in Korean law, so of course there can be no provisions on infringement of adaptations of novels. Second, even if there is such a law in the United States, I don't think the law in the United States explicitly prohibits novels from being adapted from comics or other novels, right?"

"This ......" Kirkman hesitated, but it was this hesitation that made Kim Taeyeon see some clues, and said affirmatively: "Your expression just now told me that there are no regulations in the United States in this regard, so I will not agree to your request, or I have no need to agree at all." ”

"Alas......" After Kim Tae-yeon's words came out, Kirkman sighed helplessly and sat down.

"What's wrong with them, how did they become like this?" Kim Yeon-gu was very strange that he didn't know what they just said, so he could only ask Kim Taeyeon for help.

After Kim Taeyeon told him about some of the conversations just now, Kim Yeon-gu said to the two people's interpreters: "Your actions have constituted concealment of facts, fraud or extortion, etc., if you can't give us a satisfactory answer, I think S.M's lawyers will be happy to fight such a cross-border lawsuit to prove the innocence of our company's artists." ”

After the translator translated this passage to Kirkman, Kirkman sighed helplessly and said slowly: "We were also desperate to use this way to scare Miss Kim Taeyeon, but I didn't expect you to see what we set up...... The infringement thing is that we did something wrong, sorry, and disturbed. ”

Just as Kirkman said sorry and was about to leave, Kim Taeyeon stopped him, "May I ask what you mean by cornered? Is it because "The Walking Dead" has hit a bottleneck and there is no plot to draw on, so you thought of asking for my manuscript in this way?"

Kirkman was amazed and looked at Kim Taeyeon in disbelief, surprised that she was able to tell what happened to them in the United States.

"As you said, it's really difficult. After hesitating for a long time, it seemed that he also felt that there was nothing to be gained from this trip to South Korea, and Kirkman and Walker looked at each other and told the truth.

"Can you tell me some? maybe...... I might be able to help you. ”

The memories in her mind are definitely not fake, and she feels that she should do something about her brother's special memory, which is why Kim Tae-yeon has this to say.

But no one expected that it was because of Kim Taeyeon's words that things changed beyond the original plan, resulting in Kim Taeyeon becoming an unsurpassed existence in the Korean entertainment industry in the future.
