Los Angeles, Time Warner Tower, President's Office. [Full text reading]

At the round desk, Warner Pictures' executive CEO Barry Mueller frowned, and a group of directors also looked solemn.

"What should I do, the West Bund Writers Guild has been notified just now, and NB has already responded...... There is an official Dark Knight script arbitration. Barry Müller knocked on the table and asked in a deep voice.

A bald director next to him snorted and scolded fiercely:

"This bastard, obviously if he doesn't respond for so many days, there will be a direct arbitration expiration soon, and he only speaks out now, obviously trying to trick us."

The blonde director in his fifties on the other side shook his head:

"Now that NB has responded, I think we have nothing to hesitate about this matter, Nolan's "Dark Knight" script is just a draft, far less detailed than NB's improvement, and the same is true from the perspective of time, I don't think there is a need to arbitrate, let's just give up this project and choose other Batman stories again."

The executives of these associations present knew that the so-called Mexican "Aiwei" company was just a leather bag company of their Warners.

Before filming these super blockbusters, the six major Hollywood companies will register a leather bag company to put the copyright of the script in it, so that it can be registered in advance and avoid a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, if the script for "The Dark Knight" was registered in Warner's name from the beginning, the film would have been subject to hundreds of applications from other screenwriters suing the story for infringement before it was made.

Every time this series of super blockbusters, the character stories have already appeared, and many plots are inevitably similar, and many small screenwriters will sue as long as they see similar plots.

Of course, the West Bank Association Arbitration Committee's regulations are that only if more than one-third of the plots of the prosecuting party overlap with the sued script can it be qualified to be named the screenwriter of the script, and it is almost impossible for the complainant to obtain a part of the copyright of the script.

But even so, being sued by so many people at the same time will also affect the project approval process of the film.

Like this, using a leather bag company to register the copyright of the script, in the vast tens of millions of scripts, it will not be eye-catching, and when the time comes, it will be good to take back the copyright of the script when the film is approved, no one thought that this Batman movie would be similar to the scripts of other screenwriters......

"Nolan is really unlucky this time, how could he let others take the lead?" The blonde director shook his head and said:

"Why did he only find out now that when he registered the rights to The Dark Knight, there was already a similar script that had been registered, and the story was more complete than they had written...... This can only be said to be their own mistake. ”

"That is ...... saying," said Barry Mueller, who looked at the others with angry eyes on his forehead.

"But we're Time Warner, the best company in the world, why should we give in to a guy who popped up out of nowhere! Don't you know that we've invested millions upfront in this project? Should we just let this money go down the drain!? ”

Barry Mueller was humiliated in China, and he couldn't swallow this breath when he returned to the United States.

Finally, in this meeting of different opinions, Barry Müller firmly declared:

"Tell Haile Wharton of the Writers Guild and let him arbitrate! The whole process must be kept confidential, and we can't let others know that we are entangled by this little person! ”

Barry Mueller still has a year and a half left in his term, and now is a critical period for him to continue to take over Warner Pictures, he can't accept such a setback, "The Dark Knight" is his carefully prepared blockbuster of the year, and it must be released within his tenure!

Otherwise, the board knew that he had suffered such a major mistake, and his dream of being re-elected CEO a year later would have been shattered.

I have made up my mind to win this project this time at all costs!

"Didn't some actors audition for the clown's video before? Give those videos as video evidence to the Writers Guild!! ”

The directors were all stunned, and they all changed color and asked, "Wait, won't that expose our company?" ”

"Absolutely not~! We have signed a confidentiality agreement with those actors~These materials cannot be leaked~"

"Barry, are you crazy? If the board of directors had known, they would not have let us go. ”

If this matter is reported, it is likely to affect the stock price of the entire Time Warner Group, and no one can afford this responsibility.

"Idiot! The clown wears heavy makeup! Who knows who this actor is!? It would be nice to give them a Mexican name. ”

Barry Mueller looked coldly at the group of conservatives on the council and said fiercely: "That's it~"

Just two hours later, when Gu Xiaofan and the Indian sister received an email from the West Bund Screenwriters Association, they were all surprised.

"What arbitration outcome requires us to submit new evidence? Why!? Gu Xiaofan felt that this thing was ridiculous.

As long as the people of the arbitration committee are not stupid, they should know that his script is more convincing.

"The Mexican company provided new evidence." The Indian girl explained while downloading the email attachment:

"It's like a character video profile...... They're cunning...... Character videos are indeed more convincing than scripts. ”

"Let's see what it is first~"

When the video was downloaded, Gu Xiaofan and the Indian girl clicked on the player for the first time.

In the window, there is an actor dressed as a clown, with a pale and terrifying face, and says to the camera:

"Let's make this face smile~"

Saying that, the clown in the camera skillfully wielded a small dagger, and each movement was smooth, full of joyful and terrifying charm, which made people dizzy.

What is particularly impressive is the eyes behind the heavy makeup, obviously with a kind smile, but there is a piercing cruelty......

"Who is this guy...... It's just a great act......" The Indian girl looked at it and took a deep breath.

Although she didn't see who was behind the mask, there was no doubt that this person was first-class...... No...... It should be said that he is a top actor.

This actor has a big nose, thin lips, and a look that is somewhere between rough and mediocre, but his gorgeous performance is unforgettable......

Is there an actor of this caliber in Mexico?

The Indian girl turned her head to look at Gu Xiaofan, and commented helplessly:

"I don't know where the Mexican company got it, but the actor is quite powerful and really convincing......"

In this movie, Batman is wearing a mask a lot of the time, and it is difficult to show because his face covers most of it, but this clown with circus makeup is an extremely brilliant character.

The other party obviously came prepared
