Chapter 56: Ideas are plagiarized

Oriental DreamWorks is one of the most talked about companies in Xiangjiang recently.

Since its establishment in the 80s, this small and unknown company has produced several films, although the number of films is small, but the wonderful parts are well received by the outside world.

In less than two years, Oriental DreamWorks has gathered a group of die-hard fans, as long as DreamWorks has a new work, fans will inquire about various information about the new work, subject type, director, starring, screening time...... Etcetera.

In the early stage, Oriental DreamWorks also produced some comedies, which are similar to other Xiangjiang film companies, although Xiangjiang also has many movies with other themes released every year, but in general, comedy is still dominant.

But DreamWorks' comedies are still a little different from those produced by other companies, and fans can't tell what the difference is for a while, if they really want to say it, it is: the comedies of other companies seem to be a little 'earthy' compared to DreamWorks comedies, except for a few works produced by Golden Harvest New Arts City that are also screenwriters of the young genius of DreamWorks.

And in recent years, the subject matter of DreamWorks movies has also been enriched. In a killer-themed gunfight action movie, the killer is actually decent in the movie, but the policeman who plays the righteous side in the traditional movie is an out-and-out villain. Although the father-daughter and lovers-like feelings between the killer and the girl in the movie have made many media scold and immoral, some fans are deeply heartbroken.

Most of the fans who watched the movie recognized and sympathized with the lovers with a large age difference, and many of the people who scolded did not watch the movie. Of course, the salty wet guys who were attracted to the theater by the unbearable portrayal of the media didn't know how to feel, and the movie didn't show what they wanted to see.

and the black man who created a precedent for Xiangjiang fashion action movies. is different from traditional action movies that start slow motion as soon as they hit the ** part, which seems to let the audience see clearly the moves and patterns of the two sides fighting. The film's dazzling action design is so fast that it will make audiences who are tired of the aesthetics of old action movies addicted.

Even if it is a literary and artistic soul catcher, he has also touched a group of people. In their opinion, the movie can't be a big hit entirely because others don't know how to appreciate it.

DreamWorks' work always seems to be so new and creative, and the recent start of filming on a supposedly undercover spy movie has given fans a new look forward to it.

Fans have speculated about how the film is different from its predecessors, and most believe that it must be a wonderful work. Some fans can't wait to buy the novel to watch first, but the sales of Li Xuechu's novel have increased a lot.

This movie, which can only be released in half a year, makes fans anxious and deeply impressed, and a movie that has been carefully polished for more than half a year will be a good movie, like other companies, it can be done in two months from the start of filming to the release, so Tm is also called a movie?

Of course, it's only fans who are enthusiastic about his films. For ordinary Hong Kong people, the popularity of Oriental DreamWorks' comics and toys made from the 'characters' in the comics in the West and Asia is the most noteworthy place.

In less than half a year after its publication, this comic has revitalized the toy industry in Hong Kong, making Hong Kong's toys exported to all over the world, and at the same time, it has also made Hong Kong comics break out of the Asian circle and become popular in the West. The media and celebrities from all walks of life were full of praise for the achievements of Oriental DreamWorks, and some celebrities even advocated in the newspapers asking the government to recognize the contribution of DreamWorks to Heung Kong Industrial.

The collective sense of honor in the Chinese circle has always been very strong, and Oriental DreamWorks can 'conquer' Europe and the United States, which have always been looked up to by the East, not only from all walks of life, but also ordinary citizens feel honored. Moreover, the popularity of comics and toys has directly provided thousands of jobs for the industrial industry dominated by the publishing and toy industries in Hong Kong, and it is also worthy of the government's commendation.

However, there is also discord at the same time as the praise, and it has been ferocious in recent times. Many broadcast and print media began to scold the black heart of Oriental Hollywood, you dare to sell a broken thing made of plastic and a little metal for 60 Hong Kong coins? (It's cheaper than the U.S. dollar) The cost is only fifteen Hong Kong dollars at most, right? (With the increase in production and the improvement of factory operations, the cost has really come down to this point.)

As soon as the newspaper opened the scolding, the peacemakers immediately gathered, forming a huge momentum in Xiangjiang. Many people have long been dissatisfied with these 'broken toys', especially low-income people. Lao Tzu has worked hard for a month, but the money is not enough to buy your set of things? There are still many people in Xiangjiang with a monthly income of less than 1500 or even 1,000, and the overall downturn in the industry has also created a large number of unemployed people, and there are now more than 20 Transformers selling fifty or sixty Xiangjiang coins.

The recent denunciation of Oriental DreamWorks has made Ye Zhiming anxious, and now there is another thing that makes him even more angry.

It's been less than half a year since the Transformers comics were published, and another 'copycat' version of Transformers has also been released!

Ichiro Comics, the former overlord of Koe Comics, recently published a manga called 'Mecha Warrior'. In order to seize this mouth-watering market, Huang Ichiro, the owner of Ichiro's company, spent a lot of money to hire a European design team that did sports car shape design to design dozens of 'mecha warrior' shapes for his comics.

Ye Zhiming, who was furious, immediately held a press conference, scolding Ichiro for plagiarizing DreamWorks' ideas, and warning Ichiro Company if it did not stop immediately. Ichiro Company categorically denied it, claiming that he created a mecha instead of a mecha, which is not plagiarism, and also responded strongly that he was not afraid of legal arbitration, believing that the court would 'give himself justice'.

"What's that!?" Ye Zhiming was furious.

And Li Xuechu looked at the cartoon in front of him calmly, and he was fascinated when he looked at it.

"Huang Yilang actually drew a mecha comic? The content plot is really quite innovative. "This work really surprised Li Xuechu, isn't this guy specializing in martial arts? Later, it seems that he also painted Huang Yi's fantasy, but he really hasn't seen this kind of science fiction theme painted. The butterfly effect is getting stronger.

"What mecha comics? It's a Transformer! With the addition of a cockpit, the addition of a villain, what is the difference between the others? The same is a machine qì people into cars and airplanes, this is not plagiarism, what is plagiarism? The more Ye Zhiming spoke, the more angry he became: "No, I can't swallow this breath, I have to kill them." ”

"If you want to sue, you will definitely win, and there is no loophole in the patent we applied for for them. They should have appeared by now, but the dead ducks are stubborn and refuse to admit defeat. Li Xuechu said with a smile.

Li Xuechu has applied for more than 100 patents for Transformers, forming a complete set of patent barriers. From appearance to structure, there are basically no loopholes to drill. And unlike in the past, the enforcement of Xiangjiang's patent law is becoming more and more stringent, and it is really not so easy to exploit loopholes.

Li Xuechu, who didn't take this seriously, looked down at the comics again. Huang Yilang's creative team, which is famous for painting martial arts, also brought a lot of martial arts style to the theme of mechas, and various mecha in the comics also have their own moves, such as 'Magic Light Flying Dragon Slash', 'Pegasus Meteor Hammer' or something, it's nothing more than replacing the knight with a mecha warrior.

And the mecha shape...... It is worthy of being a sports car design, with a sense of less power, but the shape is gorgeous and flamboyant, and it is also quite cool, and it may not be popular. Huang Yilang should have spent a lot of money to invite those Europeans, and if he was stopped by the court, he would probably cry to death, and if he was smart, he would have begged to come to the door in two days.

It's hard to say how well this kind of martial arts style comics can sell in the West, and the acceptance of the circle in the East, especially among the Chinese, may not be low, at least the hot sales in the first period can see some signs, and Xiangjiang Taiwan and the mainland in the future will definitely not worry about selling, unless the subject matter is written badly. However, as a comic master, Huang Yilang's level should not be underestimated, and he actually lacks a little creativity.

In fact, what Li Xuechu is really worried about is not Huang Yilang, the toys have been sold in Europe and the United States for a few months, and European and American toy companies should have been worried about it for a long time, right? Especially the 'original' Hasbro of this comic. The company, which was founded in the twenties, was already a big company before the Transformers came out, and the company's Star Wars series of toys took the world by storm in the past few years.

Applying for a patent may not be all right, Europe and the United States, especially the United States, are not as generous as he said, and sit back and watch the companies in their own countries being pressed and beaten by other companies. Market openings can only be effectively implemented when they are beneficial to themselves, and if the market share of companies in their own country is robbed too much, the stick of sanctions will start to be waved.

Just think about the later generations of Toyota, which was evilly rectified, and the Chinese companies that were overwhelmed by the anti-dumping bill. Other people's cars may not be safer than yours, and people don't care whether you really dump or not, the key is that you steal other people's jobs.

Calculate the time, I'm afraid someone should come to the door in the next few months, right?
