"Do you also want to attend your president's visit to the United States?" Nick. Anderson asked.

"Aren't you going to be there too?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically, "With the dispute over "Dominating Hollywood" and "Codename Shero" on the Internet in the past six months, it is obvious that the private means can no longer be resolved, so the official level has to make some kind of communication. ”

"I just don't know if it's going to go in the direction you want." Nick. Anderson asked with interest, "Will you be attending the meeting in Los Angeles as well?" ”

"Yes, I'll be there in Seattle as well." Shen Zhenghui replied, "Before that, there was an industry summit in that place, and they were very interested in where the Internet would go. ”

"Oh, they invited me too," Nick. Anderson spread his hands, "But I don't have time to go, I'm still basking in the joy that the aliens didn't invade Earth." Besides," he paused, "I think I would be suspicious of pulling hatred by appearing with you." ”

"Your absence from the discussion has made the authority of this discussion plummet." Shen Zhenghui shrugged his shoulders.

"Forget it," Nick. Anderson waved his hand, "I'm going to control the speed now," he smiled, "or they're going to be in a hurry to do a second split of my company." I used to be stressed, but now it's not. He winked at Shen Zhenghui, "I'm really looking forward to you and Mitsumi Fukuda making a name for themselves in China or Japan first, so that the United States and Europe can be under pressure." ”

"What do you think?"

"Of course," Nick. Anderson spread his hands. "Oh, yes," he waved at Shen Zhenghui. "I haven't congratulated you yet on your movie being a big hit," he said with a smile, "and it's not a problem to estimate a billion at the global box office, right?" Sooner or later, you will make Hollywood jealous of you. ”

Yes, "Codename Shero" was released four or five years later than the novel, but under the foreshadowing of a superhero movie, many audiences are full of interest in this superhero film that is known as a pure woman, without love, bitterness, and tangled scenes. Especially with half a year's foreshadowing, the plot of "Codename Shero" has actually been circulated on the Internet and is well known. They even reviewed the box office results and reviews of "Codename Shero" in another world and the audience's perception in advance through "Dominating Hollywood". So when this film was really released, a large number of people who couldn't restrain their curiosity walked into the cinema, and then got lost in front of Shen Zhenghui's camera.

Because of the novel "Dominating Hollywood". China and the United States have been in a lawsuit for half a year across the Pacific Ocean, and the transnational legal trial is simply an irritating matter, and the courts in the United States cannot control it at all. Because they don't have assets in the United States. So the actors' union or something organized a group to go to China to hire Chinese lawyers to sue the novel website and the author. On China's home turf, the Americans are doomed to not get what they want. Whether it is the website and the author, whether it is from the profit or from the right to reputation, etc., both sides have engaged in-for-tat arguments, although in the end the court ruled that the website and the author lost, but they did not pay much. It is just to delete the article and eliminate the impact, and the court does not support the demand of the US side for a sky-high amount of damages.

In this matter. The defendant demanded that the plaintiff submit a list of the specific amount of the so-called damages, and the plaintiff was severely defeated. Because of the blessing of the Internet, even Jinjiang deleted the article. The original book has also been circulated on the Internet all over the world, and the English, French, and German versions have been turned out by the eggache people, and because of the lawsuit, this novel has been widely circulated around the world. The defendant's request for the plaintiff to provide the so-called infringer's commission list and entrustment requirements is undoubtedly to ask the defendant to indicate which actors, directors, or agents appear in the novel to file an infringement lawsuit.

As a result, the plaintiffs were unable to produce the list, and they did not have a power of attorney in their hands. In a sense, these celebrities are also reluctant to come forward to do such things, even if they are legally legitimate. But there are two points to consider: given the popularity of "Dominating Hollywood", winning may have caused reputational damage, since a large number of brain-dead fans regard this novel as a real Hollywood account, then it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of being seated in the right seat, those stars who are touted in this book will naturally not do this kind of thing, so the hacked stars will also show their own measurements, the worst of which are Brad Pitt and George. Clooney, but they have to grit their teeth; The second is that even if you win, you won't be able to get much compensation. The case was not heard in the United States, but in China, not the home of American lawyers. The registered capital of the defendant's website was only $500,000, and it was a big deal that it declared bankruptcy, and enforcement in China was also a problem. They are not suing Shen Zhenghui, not Columbia, and there is no infringement in "Codename Shero".

So although this lawsuit has attracted wide attention, it has become a farce in the end. Despite Mr. Obama's repeated public calls and phone calls with China's leaders, he had to admit that it was at best an unintentional "joke" by China's Hollywood admirers. If the United States wants to show the world their values of freedom and democracy, they can't be serious about it, because the whole world is watching! Along with this incident, all kinds of "door" incidents in Hollywood have been summarized and packaged to correspond to the descriptions in the novel, even the most brazen Americans have to admit that the novel's description of the Hollywood film and television industry is quite merciful.

So the farce ended silently, and the only thing that remained was that the two sides would further strengthen dialogue and exchanges on intellectual property issues, and this topic would be reflected in the itinerary of the Chinese president's visit to the United States, that is, during the visit to Los Angeles, there will be such a special dialogue session. Of course, there is such a meeting. The main reason is that "New Century: Codename Shero" has a huge explosion at the box office in the United States and around the world.

At this time, practitioners in the same industry had a vague idea of Shen Zhenghui's methods and Columbia's publicity: the main reason why Shen Zhenghui chose the theme of online novels - mainly controversial online novels - was probably that he could use this theme to hype up a certain topicality, which was even worldwide. Everyone is already aware. Just like "Harry Potter", before the movie was made, because of the popularity of the novel, there was no doubt about the box office results - of course, this is from the perspective of hindsight.

Now they have also summed up their experience in comparison with Shen Zhenghui's achievements, and Shen Zhenghui has passed the script of controversial topics. Let his works be highly watched all of a sudden, not to mention "Magic Apprentice", from "Red Dawn", "War 1938", "Domination of the World" to this time "Code Name Shero". All his choices have spontaneous topicality, especially this time "Codename Shero", from the perspective that the people like to see. It's not just that "Codename Shero" has become popular. Even a "Dominating Hollywood" that would have been impossible to attract attention has become a world hot spot. In this regard, the website itself and the authors of Jinjiang do not have to care about the amount of money awarded to them by the Chinese courts, which is recovered through advertising fees and the like. Even a blessing in disguise, because Jinjiang has gained the world's attention and reputation, it has stepped out of the country and into the world, and there are already venture capital companies ready to invest in it, so that it can open local language sub-stations in North America, Europe and other places. Or translate its own Chinese work into the local language for reading.

So, this time. Not only Jinjiang, but also China's online literature itself has suddenly attracted the attention of world capital. Although the industry is not strong enough at the moment, the whole world has seen its infinite potential, especially Shen Zhenghui's direct collection of scripts from online novels one after another, which fully validates his statement that online novels are the upstream of the entertainment industry. As an emerging industry, especially an industry with huge development potential, it will probably usher in waves of investment climax.

Of course, while the industry is bigger and stronger, it is not without hidden dangers. Some industries develop very well when no one is in charge, but when they are favored by big capital and the government, they will inevitably face some kind of development pains. Not to mention that when he has achieved some kind of achievement, the capital and government departments that manage it hope to obtain benefits and achievements from it, and it is a disaster for the development of the industry.

Vigorously entering the BAT company, which controls the online literature industry, has invariably increased the integration of its own resources, and the process of this is insignificant. Probably reminded by the lawsuit of the Americans, online literature cannot be written about many things related to the real world, and the most important thing is that many real names cannot be used. In addition, the tolerance for H has also been further reduced, and the process of self-castration has begun, not only can not kiss, but even holding hands has become a red line. Anyway, if you mess around for a few more years, you will get used to it.

Of course, small-scale nonsense has little impact on Shen Zhenghui. Even if everyone can see the future of the upstream development of the entertainment industry, as long as they don't understand how to connect the upstream and downstream industries, even if BAT has Baoshan in their hands, they don't know how to develop it, and they can only look at Shen Zhenghui's box office record and drool. Now it's hard to say whether the adaptation of the online novel can be successful because of Shen Zhenghui, in some small projects, in fact, it has been able to guarantee profits, especially a series of Mary Sue TV series of ATV, cooperative TV series with mainland TV stations or something, and some low-cost movies, if you seriously explore at this time and gradually summarize, you can still find a suitable path. But the film industry, both China and the United States, was bewildered by Shen Zhenghui's large-scale production, and his impatient mentality led to speculation, and BAT tried to make a way out of it with money through large-scale investment, so a large amount of capital poured into the Chinese film and television industry.

And in Hollywood, USA, it's the same. When Americans discovered the gold mine of superhero comic book adaptations, they also understood that the so-called web novel adaptations were nothing more than something like that. However, the accumulation of comics over the decades has led to a vast market, and the development of this market over the years has allowed Hollywood to find a practical path for comic book adaptation, and then successfully presented and exploded in the second decade of the 21st century. However, it's clear that comic book adaptations and superheroes won't work forever without pioneering new genres. Shen Zhenghui pointed out a new direction. As a result, Hollywood film companies have also tried to make efforts and attempts in this regard, investing in the establishment of local online literature websites or localizing Chinese online literature translations, which is also the choice they have made.

Therefore, this time, China and the United States took advantage of the Chinese President's visit to the United States to discuss and negotiate on the topic of intellectual property, and it has become a real big deal. This time, although it is not to say that the old things will not be repeated, it is obviously given a new content, that is, the interaction and exchange in the cultural industry. Americans are naturally afraid of Shen Zhenghui's combat effectiveness, especially since this guy has broken through the market barrier between China and the United States, and is openly dumping Chinese-made cultural products to the world, and these cultural products are sometimes packed in boxes of Western culture. This is much more serious than Westerners finding their daily necessities printed with madeinChina. But the Westerners (mainly the Americans) do not want to close this door of communication, because after all, on the whole, they have more advantages and strength.

However, this is only a preliminary contact, and the next president will probably have to wait until President Ma Obama steps down. However, the initial contact and discussion are equally important, so this discussion will mainly be conducted by people in the business community, and the role of the official is more to play soy sauce on the side, so Shen Zhenghui is on the list of accompanying the visit, not only him, but also the bigwigs of the domestic industry. The chairman not only brought the bigwigs in the Internet industry, but also the bigwigs in the film and television industry, and most of these people are trying to follow the route of the chairman's wife.
