Chapter 0678: The General Rushes
It didn't take long for Han Lan to receive a message from Licheng.
Old man Wu Aijun is still in the hospital intensive care room, and he can't contact anyone for the time being, and his friends and apprentices can only take a look through the glass.
Tomahawk Pictures also contacted Wu Aijun's friends, Yang Guofa and others.
Yang Guofa is also one of the co-inheritors of the Tomahawk Pictures project, and Yan Chixia's puppets were made by him. After receiving a call from Tomahawk Films, he couldn't understand the situation, because Wu Aijun's illness was at home, and his family was there at the time.
However, Yang Guofa has a lot of complaints about Wu Aijun's son, and has been scolding him for being discouraged, the old man is sick and has the heart to find trouble with Tomahawk Pictures, I haven't seen him so active when the old man was sick before, and once Yang Guofa and others helped pay the hospitalization fee.
But this is someone's family matter, and Tomahawk Pictures obviously can't control it.
However, Yang Guofa and others bluntly said that they felt that Wu Aijun's son was doing something, and they hadn't known Wu Aijun for a day or two, and they patted their chests one by one to ensure that Wu Aijun would not do such an ungrateful thing. Tomahawk Pictures has remembered the help they have in this project, not to mention that the entire project, whether it is planning, design or funding, is provided by Tomahawk Films, even if the movie puppets are sold now, it is also Tomahawk Films. Therefore, Yang Guofa and others also felt that Wu Aijun's son was too unreasonable to ask Tomahawk Pictures for money like this.
Faced with the guarantee of Yang Guofa and others, Han Lan just smiled and agreed, and the letter must not be fully believed.
Yang Guofa and they have known Wu Aijun for decades, so they are very confident in his character. But Han Lan was not familiar with him, so it was impossible for them to believe in Wu Aijun's character because of these few words. Take 10,000 steps back, even if Wu Aijun has performed very well in the past few decades, this is 10 million! That's an astronomical sum for an average family! Won't he be impressed? Han Lan didn't dare to guarantee it.
And no matter what, Wu Aijun's son is now uniting various media to make all kinds of troubles and ask Tomahawk Pictures for money, which is a fact.
Therefore, Tomahawk Pictures still has to do public relations, and the documents that the legal department should prepare still have to be prepared, but they are just waiting and watching the attitude of Wu Aijun for the time being. In the end, whether this matter is his son making trouble, or his own meaning, we still need to wait for Old Man Wu Aijun to wake up and say it himself.
……
Tomahawk Pictures' warning apparently didn't have much effect.
Slightly larger media may be afraid to retract the manuscript or make some changes to avoid the risk of being sued, but for more self-media, there is no need to worry about this. Because they know that a company as big as Tomahawk Pictures will end up sending them a lawyer's letter at most. What about so many self-media, can Tomahawk Pictures sue it?
As the saying goes, "the general is in a hurry, don't chase the rabbit", on the one hand, the general is noble, and chasing the rabbit is too cheap; On the other hand, it is also busy with official business, and chasing rabbits is a waste of time and energy.
At this time, Tomahawk Pictures is a general in a hurry, and it would be too boring if you stopped and compared with these self-media.
And people always sympathize with the weak, for the vast majority of netizens, they prefer to believe that Tomahawk Pictures is bullying people, who makes them powerful? Even the copyright certificate given by Tomahawk Pictures didn't want to believe it, thinking that it was snatched from the old man through cunning.
As an entertainment media, I know the most about what kind of truth readers want to see.
As long as it conforms to the script in the hearts of netizens, they are the righteous party!
Completely invincible in public opinion!
Wu Aijun's son naturally doesn't understand this, he only knows that it's okay to make trouble, crying children have milk to eat, as long as they dare to make trouble, they will have everything.
Then, a court leaflet was sent to him.
Tomahawk Films, it's really going through the legal process!
Not only Wu Aijun, but even all other large and small media that posted various articles and rumors on the Internet have all received it!
Many self-media are stupid, because Tomahawk Pictures not only sues them for defamation, but also sues them for infringement! Because the picture materials used in the article are all related to the movie, including Nie Xiaoqian's character image, the copyright is in the hands of Tomahawk Pictures. These media outlets are not licensed and are commercially available.
The tail end of June is simply not too busy for the legal department of Tomahawk Group. The team that was just expanded some time ago is still understaffed.
No one thought that Tomahawk Pictures would be so serious this time, and directly transferred people from the group to fight lawsuits! Media studios and individuals large and small have all the sues they can!
The fact that Chinese people are easily reluctant to take the legal route does not mean that there are no laws in China.
If you really want to sue, these people will sue one by one. Anyway, it was a smooth lawsuit, and it didn't cost too much money to train the newcomers in the legal team, and even won the lawsuit and earned a lot of compensation.
Especially suing for infringement, this is too hurtful, and no one expected that they would suddenly start from this aspect. After all, in China, you habitually don't care about these things, how can anyone sue for infringement because they use your movie posters or other materials from the media?
Many self-media cried directly in court and lost money.
……
"Han Shuai, our company's reputation in the media circle is stinky." The agent An Yi looked at the various media on the Internet who deleted the articles and apologized, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Take my stuff and say bad things about me? Give them face? The relationship stinks, and we don't have much of a good relationship with these messy media anyway. Han Lan said with a look of indifference.
"But Han Shuai, are you grasping the copyright a little too strictly?"
"Strict? Is it because the awareness of copyright in China is too poor? I think it's okay. Han Lan said with a smile.
Compared to the fact that drawing a mouse head in his memory in his previous life would be accused of infringement, he is already good.
Tomahawk Pictures and Tomahawk Animation will definitely have to deal with various copyrights in the future, and now is the right time for them to practice more.
At this time, Fang Qiaorui hurriedly ran in: "Han Shuai, Wu Aijun's son took his family to our company downstairs to make trouble, and the family sat downstairs in the company crying and scolding our company, saying that we were going to force people to death." There are quite a few people gathered now......"
An Yi also reacted, she didn't have to go downstairs to watch, she turned on her phone and saw the video sent by passers-by, which pushed Tomahawk Pictures to the forefront again.
In the video, Wu Aijun's son and his family of three sat on the ground crying and making trouble, and confided in the onlookers how Tomahawk Pictures took it by force, and now they are suing them for losing money, and the family is going to be forced to live by them......
