Chapter 45 Defendant to Plaintiff

Of course, the influence of a writer comes from his works, and if there is no work coming out, then he is not even worthy of the title of writer, let alone influence, and it seems that Yang Cheng's virtue will really do what Hongdou said.

"Since that's the case, then it's better for them not to even sell the copyright of the English version, so that these works of Ah Qiu will be completely silent." Li Yue still doesn't know the purpose of selling English copyrights at a low price in "Fantasy World".

"That's why they said they were to disgust Xiaoqiu." Hongdou said: "You can see Xiao Qiu's expression at this time, Cheng DΓΉ, who sells disgusting people, is much taller than Cheng DΓΉ, who is not sold directly." ”

"It's all this time, can you not make fun of me?" Zhang Qiuxi rolled her eyes, and then followed Shangguan Jin and said, "Also, my Shangguan barrister, you have been carrying a coffee cup from beginning to end without speaking, pretending to be a lady and pretending to be elegant?" ”

Shangguan Jin, who was cross-legged, changed his feet and said, "If you encounter this kind of thing, just go straight to court, what is there to say?" ”

Zhang Qiuxi rolled her eyes again and complained: "How do I feel that your words are purely from the perspective of professional interests, just like a coffin seller who wants to die every day." The copyright is not in my hands, how can this lawsuit be fought? You lawyers don't care about this, anyway, you have money to collect whether you win or lose. ”

"Little sister, you're not even a college student now, and it's understandable that you're legally blind, but it's an unforgivable sin to suspect me." Shangguan Jin said: "Although the copyrights of your novels are in the hands of Fantasy World Magazine, it is also illegal for them to deliberately damage your interests by selling them cheaply. ”

"That is, if I sue them, will I still win?" Zhang Qiuxi's eyes lit up, this is the best news for her, even if she can't recover the money, at least she has to get her breath back, the other party's approach is really disgusting to her.

"Not necessarily." Shangguan Jin still said this in a calm tone, Zhang Qiuxi almost died without vomiting blood, and said, "You just said that they did this illegally, teasing me?" I haven't had a holiday with you, so why do you celebrate with me? ”

Shangguan Jin said: "Whether it is illegal or not depends on how to define it, if the judge thinks that the English copyright of your novels is not cheaply sold, then Fantasy World Magazine will naturally not be illegal." In this deal, you only get paid $50,000 per novel, but with their agency fees, the price is also the best in China, so it's hard to say what the result will be, anyway, I'll do my best. ”

"Then it's bothering you, it doesn't matter if you lose the lawsuit, at least you show your attitude." Zhang Qiuxi regained his normal heart.

The final judgment of the "Fantasy World" magazine against Zhang Qiuxi for breach of contract has not yet been decided, and Zhang Qiuxi took "Fantasy World" to court, and when the court announced that it had accepted the trial and would hold a trial at a later date, the market was boiling again.

The back and forth between the two sides is as enjoyable as opening a blockbuster for people, and many netizens sighed "This is really an eventful season" and joined the ranks of spitting.

After the news spread that Zhang Qiuxi's copyright was sold cheaply, "Fantasy World" and Huaguang Publishing Group immediately became the target of public criticism, and this time the media's caliber was surprisingly unanimous, all condemning their behavior of hurting others and not benefiting themselves, no one collected money to scold Zhang Qiuxi anymore, after all, it is very clear who is right and wrong, and a fool will collect such money.

In the information age, even if something happens in the United States on the other side of the world, it can quickly reach the country, and the news that the English version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has sold 800,000 copies in the United States is no different.

Fans who have always hoped that Zhang Qiuxi can be called a world-class science fiction writer are happy about this, and many readers also feel honored, and the media has touted that Zhang Qiuxi has won glory for the country, and he can't even speak Chinese these days.

In the big picture, the country has been shouting the slogan of cultural power, and has been working hard to export culture, Zhang Qiuxi is also the vanguard of this policy, no matter from which point of view Huaguang Publishing Group should be condemned.

Because of the loss of the infernal affairs of red beans, in the face of such public opinion pressure, I don't know what the expression is on the side of "Fantasy World", there are so many shameless scolding them on the Internet, if they don't expose their identities in public, they will be beaten by the group, and they will definitely not be comfortable at this time, right?

Zhang Qiuxi was extremely happy when she thought of this, no matter what the final result was, she already felt that it was worth it.

"Ah Qiu, there are many people calling for a boycott of Huaguang Publishing Group and the magazine "Fantasy World"." At Li Yue's house, Zhang Qiuxi was lying on the sofa reading a book, while Li Yue was browsing the news on his mobile phone.

"You deserve to be unlucky in the fantasy world, but there are many authors of works published by TongguΓ² Huaguang Publishing House, and these people can be regarded as lying down." Zhang Qiuxi turned over and lay on the sofa, her snow-white feet swaying back and forth.

Li Yue frowned and pondered for a while, and finally asked, "What does it mean to lie down the gun?" ”

"It's just that they're all lying on the ground, and they're still going to be hit, which almost means being hit by the pond fish." Zhang Qiuxi explained, and then said: "Speaking of which, my uncle called us back early, but he hasn't come back yet, what is the situation?" ”

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and after the sound of closing the door, Li Changhua, who was in a suit and leather shoes, came back with a spring breeze on his face, and said without sitting down: "Ah Qiu, I have good news to tell you." ”

"Uncle, I expected it, you better sit down and drink saliva first." Zhang Qiuxi still maintained his original posture, but he committed the book, and he was completely like his own home in Li Yue's house, and he didn't have to worry about anything at all.

"Dad, what's the good news?" Li Yue was very curious.

"You'd better let Dad drink saliva and catch his breath first."

"......" Li Yue was speechless to his father.

"Here's the thing." Li Changhua sat on the sofa next to him and said: "We have talked about the use of the script that Ah Qiu helped to write before, and the good news now is that the schedule of East Evil and West Poison has been set, and it will officially meet the audience next month." ”

Under Li Changhua's vigorous promotion, the two scripts of "East Evil and West Poison" and "East Becomes West" were reviewed by the board of directors on the same day, and Zhang Qiuxi also received a remuneration for this, but it was much less than royalties, and the screenwriter still did not pay much attention to it in China.

"So fast, I thought I'd have to wait at least a year." Zhang Qiuxi sat up when he heard this, then scratched his head and said: "This is indeed good news, but thinking about it, it doesn't feel worth being excited about at all, even if it is released, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, right?" ”

"How can you say that, if the response is good, you can develop more smoothly in the direction of screenwriting." Li Changhua said: "Also, the crew invited you to attend the premiere, didn't you and Xiaoyue plan to go on a study trip before, just stop by to have a fun, anyway, there is still some time before school starts." ”

The movie premiere is still quite attractive to ordinary people, Li Yue asked with some expectation: "Dad, where is the premiere going to be held?" ”

"It's in the imperial capital, all the main creators will be present on the day of the premiere, and many big stars will also go to cheer."

Although Li Changhua's company is in Qingxi, what they do in the company is financial planning and other things, and the real filming and post-production are all done in other places, and Qingxi has a big gap with the imperial capital in all aspects, and it is obviously not a suitable place to hold a premiere.

"Uncle, I think it's better to forget it." Zhang Qiuxi thought about it and refused: "Originally, I put on another vest to write the script, but it's better not to show up, and I've had a lot of things to do recently, so I don't seem to be able to go away." ”

"That's right, anyway, there will be a chance in the future, and you can go back when East Meets West is released." Although Li Yue has some expectations, of course she is focused on Zhang Qiuxi.

"Huaguang's work over there is really too unkind." Li Changhua also criticized, and then continued: "I said before that I asked our company's lawyer to help you deal with it, but you didn't agree, what is the situation now?" ”

"I haven't been notified of the trial yet, but the matter is so concerned, it will probably be next month at the latest."

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

There was no news from the Qingxi Intermediate People's Court, and it first came back with the judgment of the Provincial High Court, which rejected the appeal and upheld the original judgment in the case of "Fantasy World" magazine accusing Zhang Qiuxi of breach of contract.

This is all expected, everyone thinks that this is reasonable after seeing the news, so it did not cause any waves, and people are most concerned about the fact that English copyrights are being sold cheaply.

Although there are such bad things happening, but the earth is still turning, after the Western Union Publishing House took Zhang Qiuxi's manuscript and the contract back, it quickly got the typesetting and art and other things, "Goodbye, Thank You Fish" will be released soon.

The cover of this novel is also requested by Zhang Qiuxi himself, because the story is related to dolphins, so the pattern of dolphins jumping out of the water to eat fish is also used as the cover, which is very suitable for the title of the book.

After receiving the news from the Western Union University, Zhang Qiuxi felt that it was necessary to reveal in advance that there are more than 100,000 fans who love her novels, and interaction is still very necessary.

Since pinching up with "Fantasy World" and Huaguang Publishing Group, many people have swiped Zhang Qiuxi's Weibo every day, in order to be able to see her news for the first time, although this news has nothing to do with the incident, it is conceivable that readers will definitely be more willing to see it.
