A few hours later, Zhan Beishan walked out of the courtroom with Bob, as well as the genuine hobbit Milton.

The trial was inconclusive and will need to be continued for some time.

And this case has affected not only Fox Film and Television, but also the famous Lord of the Rings.

There is also the Lord of the Rings trilogy, as well as the popular movie "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" that will also be affected.

What is at stake is billions or even billions of dollars.

The outcome of this case is bound to be an extremely long process, and it is difficult to decide the outcome in one or two trials.

Before the trial, Bob was full of ambition, but when it was over, his face was solemn and his steps were vain.

The reporters who had been waiting for a long time surrounded them like sharks that smelled fish.

"Mr. Bob, what do you think of this case?"

"Can the Hobbit copyright owned by Fox Film and Television still count?"

"How much do you think Fox Film and Television will have to pay this time?"

The reporters' questions were ill-intentioned, and Bob remained silent, not saying a word, but hurried away.

Some of the reporters chased after them, and many more stayed behind, looking at Milton like a rare treasure.

This is a hobbit, a living hobbit, a federally recognized hobbit.

Big news.

The reporters surrounded Milton, and a barrage of questions were raised.

"Mr. Milton, what do you think of the Lord of the Rings?"

"How much money will you make Fox Film and Television compensate."

"Will you sue the original author of the Lord of the Rings?"

"Sir, why did you stand up today, what was your problem before?"

In a short period of time, the news of the hobbit Milton appeared on Twitter's hot search, causing heated discussions among netizens.

"Oh my God, there's a living hobbit in the Federation."

"It was so surprising."

"This guy is famous, and he's going to get rich soon."

"Yes, Fox Film and Television will definitely lose a lot of money this time."

"This reminds me of the KFC family bucket case, which lost a lot of money because it didn't have enough to eat, and this hobbit called Milton will definitely make Fox Film and Television lose money."

"I guess the lawyer is going to get excited."

Netizens are very familiar with copyright disputes, and they are keenly aware that this is a big event.

In comparison, Xu Nan's little thing was nothing at all, and he quickly became outdated, and netizens' interest in him immediately shifted to this case.

Because of this incident, whether it is the movie "The Hobbit" or "The Hobbit Era", the popularity of the two movies exploded again, and the box office also rose.

Theoretically, he should be happy to see the box office of his movie rise, but James couldn't be happy at all.

The genuine hobbit appeared, and he filmed the movie without the consent of others, which is tantamount to violating the right to racial reputation of others.

If this is a defendant, the consequences are very tragic.

The money earned now is likely to be compensated in full in the future.

There is also a sequel movie that was supposed to be good, but in the case of copyright disputes, it will definitely not be able to be made.

In this case, James was not happy at all.

What's this called, the Lord of the Rings has been out for decades, why is there a copyright dispute all of a sudden?

You're a hobbit, you don't jump out early or late, but what are you doing at this time?

In a quiet café, Lin Ziyi's white fingers stirred the coffee in the cup and teased: "Xu Nan, now you are very popular in the United States, you are almost like a star." ”

Xu Nan's expression was very calm: "I am a dignified ghost director, fire is a matter of course, haven't you heard of an old saying, talented people, just like a cone in the sac, sooner or later will be revealed, it is normal for the people of the United States to worship me." ”

Lin Ziyi couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Saying that you are popular is to give you face, to be precise, your life in the United States is notoriety, and your reputation is also a bad reputation, you are now looking at your fans on the Internet, out of ten fans, nine are black fans, and one is just watching your fun." ”

Xu Nan is still very calm: "It's all the same, which star is not scolded, black and red are also red, the more fierce the netizens scold, the higher the popularity, the higher the box office of the movie, you look at "The Hobbit Era", it is about to break 40 million box office, which is more than 200 million box office in China, rice is really a good place, sacks of money." ”

Lin Ziyi was speechless, but she had to admit that what Xu Nan said made sense.

When the movie is released, I am not afraid of being scolded, but I am afraid that there will be no one to scold.

The higher the popularity, the higher the box office.

From this point of view, Xu Nan is still very successful, although his reputation is rotten, but he has made money.

The main reason is that it is the first time that this kind of copycat porcelain movie has appeared in the United States, and the audience is very curious, and the next time it is released, there will be no such effect.

There is also Xu Nan's strong publicity, one topic after another, so that the audience always knows that this movie exists, and the popularity of the movie has always been maintained to a certain extent.

It's been so many days since it was released, and the movie "The Hobbit Era" is still at the center of the topic, and it has never fallen, how can the box office be low.

Xu Nan is also very bold.

Other directors don't dare to be as crazy as Xu Nan, and there is no one in their eyes.

Everyone promotes the movie, although unscrupulous, but at least to face.

Xu Nan is different, in order to promote the movie, he doesn't want any face at all, all kinds of crooked ways, and he dares to say anything.

"By the way, how are you going to solve the hobbit infringement case?" Lin Ziyi suddenly said: "Fox Film and Television has contacted me, and I can accept an out-of-court settlement, and they are willing to pay." ”

Xu Nan shook his head: "It's useless to find me about this, you have to go to Milton, he is the hobbit, and he has the right to decide whether to reconcile or not." ”

"I'm just a primer, and the control of this case is no longer in my hands, but in Milton's hands."

"I thought it was your idea." Lin Ziyi said in surprise.

Xu Nan nodded: "It was my idea, but Milton is not a fool, and finally there is an opportunity to change his fate and become rich overnight, can he give it up." ”

Lin Ziyi nodded slightly.

There are indeed many such examples in the United States, for example, a person who eats KFC because the family bucket is not enough for the whole family to eat, sues KFC.

Outrageous?

Outrageous.

But he won the lawsuit, and made a lot of compensation through it, and became rich overnight.

There are many examples like this, and many poor people have become rich by touching large porcelain companies.

With such an example in front of him, how could Milton give up this good opportunity, even if he took the initiative to give up, the lawyer would not give up.

"Speaking of which, how did you know that there are hobbits in the United States, no one has known about it for decades, and this Milton has never jumped out, how can you know it as soon as you come." Lin Ziyi asked curiously.

She is really curious about this, the original author of the Lord of the Rings doesn't know, and she hasn't found out about the Fox Film and Television copyright for more than ten years, but Xu Nan, a foreigner, found out as soon as she came.

It's kind of outrageous.

Xu Nan said directly: "I was lucky and found it by chance." ”

"Really?" Lin Ziyi was a little unconvinced, but it seemed that there was no other explanation except luck.

Actually, it's because this kind of thing has also happened to Shelter Film and Television in the previous life.

A large company filmed "The Hobbit of the Lord of the Rings", and then Shelter Film and Television quickly drummed up the copycat porcelain piece of "The Hobbit Era".

Then the big company took a look, no, you infringed, I bought the copyright of this hobbit, and you didn't get my consent to shoot it, it was infringing, and you had to pay for it.

Then the big companies took the shelter film and television to court, demanding that they pay money.

But the film and television of the shelter have long been prepared, and they directly came up with evidence, saying that they were not filming the hobbit in the Lord of the Rings, but the story of another primitive tribe of hobbits.

It turns out that there is really a primitive tribe called the Hobbits in Indonesia, and the Sanctuary Film and Television is filming their story, which has nothing to do with the original Lord of the Rings.

Xu Nan came to the United States and saw the news of the movie Hobbit, and immediately thought of this matter, and decisively checked and found that in this world, there is an Indian tribe called Hobbits in the United States, which is still recognized by the Federation.

So Xu Nan decisively asked the only remaining hobbit Milton to buy the copyright to solve his worries.

As for Milton, he didn't plan to sue Fox Films, but who told Fox Films to do it first, so Xu Nan found Milton out and caused a little trouble for the company.

Fox was actually embarrassed to say that he plagiarized, just kidding, what really plagiarized is whether you are good or not.

My "Hobbit Age" is a movie licensed by a real hobbit.

And Fox Films' "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" was not authorized.

Therefore, his movie is the genuine version, and Fox Films' "The Hobbit" is a copycat.

This wave is a genuine hanging knockoff film.

Well, no problem.
