The vast majority of Americans believe in God, not that they don't believe in science, but there are too many things that science can't explain. Only by acknowledging that there is a God's being, those things that cannot be explained by reason, can be given a reason. Just as Sun Tzu believed in God, otherwise he would not be able to explain his two lives as a human being.

Clifton also believes in God, so when he saw Sun Ziming's notes from seven years ago, he believed that it was an inadvertent misunderstanding by God, and gave China another copy of the inspiration that should have been given to Peter Jackson.

Clifton, who has been in business for a long time, looked at his notebook seven years ago unwillingly, and felt extremely lost. Finally, Clifton came to his senses, returned the notebook to Sun Ziming, and saw the vague banter and mockery in this guy's eyes, and suddenly understood.

God, this is a game! In addition to not guessing the true ownership of copyright, the cause, process, development, and result of the entire incident are all in my own reasoning. These bastards, who spent five years and millions of dollars, used a copyright protection parcel in China Ming to dig a super big pit for the new line company, wanting to bury the new line company and Vita special effects in one fell swoop!

But the matter is not over yet, Sun Ziming took a seven-year-old parcel from Kayo Sato to prove that he was not lying.

"Clifton, this is my copyrighted packet. Our company has a special rule for me, and my assistants will sort out all my notes every day, even if they think something is slightly valuable, they will apply for copyright protection as soon as possible. ”

Clifton looked at the parcel with a complicated expression, a legend he had heard.

It is said that the year before last, the Disney Company wanted to make a pirate movie to market their theme park attractions. As a result, I went to the Intellectual Property Office to find out that this guy had applied for copyright protection for three similar scripts eight years ago. As a three-time Oscar winner for Best Screenplay and a recognized genius director, Disney was worried that someone would not be able to write a script that could match this genius, and as soon as he came into contact with this guy, he did not hesitate to give up that idea.

As it turned out, Disney was lucky not to make a mistake, and the success of Pirates of the South Seas allowed them to avoid a heavy investment failure!

Now that something about the same is happening to him, Clifton can only complain in frustration about God's favoritism, and there is nothing else he can do. Even if others dig a hole for themselves, they only blame themselves for their bad luck, the idea of seven years ago is more convincing than five years ago, and even if the reporter is allowed to use his rich imagination to make up a story, it will only make everyone believe that it is just a story.

Maybe there are indeed moles in the Weta company, so what's the use? If someone else can spend five years digging a trap for themselves, how can they still leave a hole for themselves?

'Hey', Clifton sighed, knowing that he had no room for bargaining and could only reconcile according to the other party's wishes. "The Lord of the Rings 2" can indeed be remade, even if the company is not well funded, there are a lot of investors out there who are willing to pay for it, but is it really worth it?

cooperation, only need to pay a little compensation, and the big trouble will be solved; If you don't cooperate, the film will be remade, in addition to paying tens of millions of dollars more for production, the tens of millions of publicity fees this year have also been spent in vain! What's even more troublesome is that even if you start remaking it immediately, it may not be released this year, which will not only waste time, but also have to spend tens of millions of dollars to redo publicity and distribution work.

And the other party is no longer the strength of five years ago, Hong Kong Light and Shadow Group seems to be the overlord of Asia's film and television industry. In particular, their cinema chain is growing rapidly, with cinema chains all over Asia except Japan and the Middle East, and in the words of the chairman, they should be a partner of the company, not a competitor.

In addition to being a filmmaker, Clifton is also a very good businessman, so he made a choice easily, and immediately gave up his humility and arrogance when he first came, and said in a sincere tone: "Ming, our new line company hopes to cooperate with you, but I hope to get your friendship." ”

Sun Ziming looked at Clifton playfully, this old boy is ready to give up supporting Weta Special Effects Company, and no longer carry it with himself like five years ago, this is really a practical person.

In business, who would think that there are too many partners? Sun Ziming took the initiative to extend his hand to Clifton, hinting: "Ok, I have always cherished friendship and hope we can become good friends."

"Definitely! It's not early, I have to go home", Clifton smiled knowingly, shaking hands with Sun Ziming and saying goodbye.

After sending Clifton away, Sun Ziming immediately called James and all of them to watch the movie.

"What do you think?"

These people really haven't seen "The Lord of the Rings 2" because it has only been screened twice, and now they are stunned when they see it, the other party's technology is more than a little bit stronger than their own company, it is simply two grades.

"Ming, buy it!"

Lucas also rarely did not contradict him, agreeing with James: "Yes, this infringement incident is just an opportunity!" ”

It's really going to buy Weta, Sun Ziming waited for everyone to leave, and then instructed Kayo Sato: "Douglas did a good job, let him go to Jeffrey himself to ask for labor fees, he has helped others so much, he can't not get nothing in return, right?" ”

Kayo Sato's face flushed, and he whispered, "Yes/boss."

Indeed, as Clifton had guessed, in order to dig this hole, Douglas hired commercial spies. And that fund was privately funded by him and Kayo Sato, just thinking that if it succeeded, he could get a piece of the pie from Jeffrey. I didn't expect that even such a thing could not be hidden from the boss.

Kayo Sato's face turned red, adding a bit of beauty. Sun Ziming glanced at her plump breasts, slender legs, and round ass a few times, and couldn't help but reach out and pull her over after the call, press on the sofa chair and start to talk about Emperor Hu.

…………

At this time, Clifton also returned to the company, and after a few words with the chairman Robert Shayer, he found Richard Taylor, the president of Weta Effects.

"Richard, our company's losses due to the infringement of "The Lord of the Rings 2" have been calculated, do you have any ideas?"

Richard, who is thinking about where to make money to get the company through the storm, is not a director who is obsessed with movies like Peter. He is in charge of the operation of Weta Special Effects Company, how can he not hear the subtext of the other party? Some time ago, Richard had already learned everything from Peter, and he had long been preventing the other party from treating his company as an outcast.

After glancing at the statistics on the table a few times, Richard said sincerely: "Mr. Clifton, I understand what you mean, but our company is not in a position to take on this kind of responsibility. ”

Clifton knew that the other party could not afford to bear the responsibility, and he did not expect that a company with an annual operating income of only $70 million or 80 million could share the loss of $20 or 30 million for the new line company. And legally speaking, the other party does not have much responsibility, at most it can be used as a bargaining chip for itself, so that the other party can make some concessions.

"Richard, we know that your company doesn't have this ability, so we have an idea, can you exchange your responsibilities for your company's shares? What do you think? ”

Clifton's hypocrisy made Richard despise him, and he still wanted to sacrifice others when he went around and around. These Hollywood people have never thought only of their own interests, and they don't think about their partners at all! This trouble, which has nothing to do with Vita, insists on using it as a bargaining chip, which is simply despicable. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to pay hefty legal fees, Richard wouldn't mind saying no outright.

Picking up the semi-cold coffee on the desk, Richard took a sip and mocked, "Mr. Clifton, we have mortgaged all of your company because it is in arrears and cannot maintain normal operations. If you want shares, I'm afraid you can only negotiate with the bank to help us pay off the loan first. ”
