Xu Yi only found out about this the next day.

He drank a broken pill at Chu Zhengchen's house and slept for a full afternoon, before returning to his courtyard and sleeping again.

I waited until about 11 a.m. the next day to wake up completely.

Seeing that there were several missed calls from Liu Guoping on the mobile phone, Xu Yi replied to Liu Guoping as soon as possible, and Liu Guoping didn't elaborate on the phone, only asked Xu Yi if he had time, he wanted to talk to Xu Yi in person.

Xu Yi didn't think much about it, so he directly agreed.

The two met at a place to drink tea at the bottom of the main station building, and Liu Guoping seemed to be preoccupied.

Xu Yi saw Liu Guoping and couldn't help laughing:

"Director Liu, what's the matter that stumped you?"

"There's a ...... about it" Liu Guoping didn't know how to speak for a while, and after thinking about it for a long time, he had to bite the bullet and say: "It's about the show The Voice." ”

Xu Yi nodded.

Liu Guoping was able to come to him, Xu Yi had already guessed that this was the case.

Maybe the main station wants to do a second season, but the program team can't make up their minds about what new highlights should be made in the second season, so they came to learn from themselves. However, now that the first season has just ended, it stands to reason that the second season will have to wait until at least next year!

"The show is very good, very successful!"

Xu Yi praised it from the bottom of his heart.

This boast made Liu Guoping even more embarrassed, as if he had done something wrong.

Seeing this, Xu Yi couldn't help asking:

"Director Liu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. We're all old friends, and I won't shirk if I can help. ”

Every time Xu Yi said a word, the burden in Liu Guoping's heart became heavier.

It seems that there is more to Xu Yi.

He no longer hesitated, and finally told the truth of the matter:

"Xiao Xu, the overseas copyright of The Voice has been sold."

Hearing this, Xu Yi frowned, and said puzzledly: "Sold?" Which country came to buy it, Director Liu, this is a good thing, you notified me to collect the money, right? ”

"It's not." Liu Guoping only felt that his throat was a little hot: "The copyright was sold by Taili, and the copyright fee also went into Taiwan." This matter, I am sorry for you, you want to beat or scold, I don't have any complaints. ”

"What do you mean?"

Xu Yi finally heard the taste, "You mean, the overseas copyright of the show also belongs to your station?" This doesn't seem right, I remember that when this show was established, the overseas copyright was in my hands, how could you sell it? ”

When Xu Yi planned this show, in addition to charging planning fees, he only retained overseas copyrights.

As for the advertising costs, patch costs, and domestic copyrights, they all belong to the main station, and he doesn't care about it.

But now, without his consent, the main station actually sold the overseas copyright?!

This made Xu Yi feel like he was being stabbed in the back.

It feels terrible.

Liu Guoping breathed a sigh of relief, the lid had been lifted, and it was up to him whether he lived or died. He simply said it all: "I also blame me for this, the deputy director of the main station personally came forward and sold the copyright." I also found out after the fact, and by the time I knew, it was too late. So...... Xiao Xu, do you think there is a solution to this matter? ”

"Yes!"

Xu Yi didn't want Liu Guoping to be embarrassed, so he said directly:

"Give me all the royalties you sold. In addition, you have to issue a document stating that the overseas copyright of The Voice belongs to me and publish it on the whole network. Can it be done? ”

Obviously, Liu Guoping couldn't agree to this condition.

With his understanding of the deputy director, the deputy director could not agree to the designation.

Liu Guoping was a little embarrassed:

"Xiao Xu, there are ...... Are there any other solutions? ”

"The copyright fee has already entered the station, and it must not be able to be taken out. Why don't I discuss with the leaders of Taili and give you some compensation? ”

Xu Yi shook his head: "I don't need compensation, I just need my share." ”

Liu Guoping: ......

Negotiations are deadlocked.

This situation was expected by Liu Guoping. What kind of person Xu Yi is, after a few contacts, Liu Guoping can be considered to have some understanding, this child, who does not eat soft and hard, only recognizes what he thinks is right.

Alas, this knot is difficult to untie!

Just listen to Liu Guoping:

"Xiao Xu, let me ask more, if Taili doesn't agree to give you the copyright fee, what will you do?"

Xu Yi said very calmly: "I am soft-spoken, so naturally I can't take the main station." However, the law is fair, and the overseas copyright documents of the show are still in my hands, and both of us have stamped and signed, so I think this document will not be disrecognized by you, right? ”

The implication is that either give money or go to court.

Liu Guoping said that after he returned, he would definitely try his best to persuade the leaders to resolve the matter peacefully.

But both he and Xu Yi knew that this 'peace' would hardly come.

After returning, Xu Yi locked himself in the study.

The impact of this incident on Xu Yi is still relatively large, and Xu Yi has always relied on his talent and backer, which can be regarded as smooth sailing in the entertainment industry. Including coming out of Yixiu Media to set up his own studio, there is no hindrance.

This gave Xu Yi an illusion:

The world is beautiful.

But the reality is that the world is cruel.

This wave of operations at the main station reminded Xu Yi that there are always people who are stronger than you who rob you of your things and don't care about it.

If you want not to be bullied, you have to make yourself stronger.

Otherwise, today it is the main station that bullies you, and tomorrow it may be stronger capital that bullies you.

Want to lie flat?

It also depends on whether those people are willing to let you lie flat.

"Sister Tangerine, the legal counsel of our studio, which company is it?"

"Boss, what are you asking for?"

Fat Orange was a little surprised.

Xu Yi rarely asks about trivial matters in this aspect of the company, and once he asks, it means that something must have happened.

Sure enough, I only heard Xu Yi say:

"If we want to fight a lawsuit with the main station, will they be able to take it?"

When Fat Orange heard this, he asked in horror, "What?" ”

That's scary, isn't it?

Fight a lawsuit with the main station?

This kind of thing, let alone seen before, even if you have never heard of it!

"Boss, are you serious?" Fat Orange said with some worry: "No, but why is this?" ”

In Fat Orange's opinion, the relationship between Xu Yi and the main station is very good.

first cooperated with Channel 9 on a documentary column, Xu Yi was named as a consultant, and created "If National Treasures Could Talk"; Then he cooperated with Channel 3 to develop "The Voice of China", these two programs are phenomenal hits.

With this kind of relationship, how can the two parties have to fight a lawsuit?

Fat Tangerine didn't understand.

Just listen to Xu Yidao:

"I'm just saying it's possible, not necessarily a lawsuit. You go for a consultation first, and if this legal consultation is not good, you can change it. As for the reason, it doesn't hurt to tell you, the leader of the main station sold the overseas copyright of The Voice without my consent. ”

"This ......"

Fat Orange was a little speechless for a while.

She didn't know how to persuade her boss, since this matter was on the boss's side, the boss would definitely not give up.

It's just that how could the main station do such a thing?

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Guoping replied to Xu Yi with a message, saying that the deputy director did not agree with Xu Yi's plan, and then asked Xu Yi if he could compromise on both sides?

Xu Yi only replied with two words: Forget it.

Why compromise?

I am rational at the level of law, morality, and righteousness, so why compromise?

In Xu Yi's view, compromise is bowing his head.

To compromise is to give in to the forces of evil!

Well, although it is not appropriate to describe each other with the words of evil forces. It's just a commercial act, not a harm to the general public. But in Xu Yi's heart, he had already nailed the deputy director to the evil cross.

Now that the situation is clear, the main station has infringed on Xu Yi's rights first, and Xu Yi wants to file a lawsuit.

Sue the main station!

This is quite explosive news in the entire entertainment industry.

Who can?

Who would dare?

I can't even think about it.

Isn't this self-digging grave?

Behind the main station, there is the General Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the main station is the enemy, which means that he doesn't want to mix in this circle.

Xu Yi's 'suicidal behavior' made Fat Tang suffer from gains and losses, and he was worried.

But she did her best to find a lawyer, and she quickly found a lawyer who was willing to take on the lawsuit.

Xu Yi made an appointment with the lawyer for the first time and briefly explained his situation.

"Mr. Xu, I have a general understanding of your situation." Lawyer Song is very professional, "Can you please show me the original copy of the copyright contract?" ”

Xu Yi handed over the contract and said:

"Look at it as you like."

"This contract was signed this year, and it was signed with Director Liu Guoping of the Third Channel of the main station. The seal is also the special contract seal of the main station, and the signature is also there, so it can't be faked. ”

Lawyer Song hurriedly said: "I don't suspect that this thing is fake, don't get me wrong." ”

After carefully checking the contract for correctness, Lawyer Song said:

"Mr. Xu, I would like to know, what is your specific demand?"

"Do you need to compensate the other party for royalties, or do you need additional damages?"

Xu Yi really didn't think much about this question.

Originally, when the peace talks were held, he just wanted to get back his own copyright fees. But once he entered the litigation process, Xu Yi didn't care about the money, what he wanted to fight for was just one breath, and by the way, he showed it to others in the circle, and wanted to bully me Xu Yi, but there was no door.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi said very seriously:

"I want the main station to apologize and clarify the incident on social media."

"As for compensation, I want to claim one dollar."

This claim amount, of course, is not for money, but for face.

By the way, I also slapped the head office in the face.

When Lawyer Song heard this, he was stunned and said, "Claim one yuan? ”

"Yes." Xu Yi replied in the affirmative, "Just one yuan." ”

Hearing Xu Yi's affirmative answer, Lawyer Song finally understood what Xu Yi was going to do. The grasshopper shakes the tree, not for profit, but for justice and justice. This also brings back a long-lost feeling in Mr. Song's heart, as a lawyer, he upholds the dignity of the law and the interests of the client.

He said:

"Good!"

"I will definitely do my best in this case!"

took on this case at the beginning, firstly, because Xu Yi could give him a reward; The second is to be able to sue the main station in his personal capacity, this kind of lawsuit is bound to attract widespread attention, and if he loses, it will not be too strange; But if he wins, he will become famous!

Now, there's a third reason.

For that dollar claim!

Lawyer Song went back to prepare the evidence chain materials and the process of prosecution, and in the study, only Xu Yi himself was left.

A few minutes later, Fat Tangerine came in with a bowl of warm milk, and he stopped talking, but finally opened his mouth:

"Boss, are we really going to do this?"

Xu Yi sighed slightly: "I don't have a choice." ”

"But we're not short of that money." Fat Orange said his considerations, "Once you have a bad relationship with the main station, it will always do more harm than good." We're still in this circle after all...... What I said is ugly, if you offend the main station, you are likely to be blocked, and you can only be behind the scenes. ”

It's true.

When Xu Yi remembered his previous life, there was also a hard-core sketch actor who was hidden for the rest of his life because of a lawsuit with the main station.

Did the sketch actor regret it?

Maybe one night in the dead of night, he regretted it.

But after so many years, do you regret it when you ask him again?

His answer must be no regrets.

When a person reaches a certain age, the so-called career, money, and social status are actually secondary, and if he is worthy of his own heart, his heart will be at peace. Peace of mind is the greatest reward of years for a person.

So Xu Yi chose this path.

Knowing that there are many difficulties and dangers, he must also break his wrist with the main station.

"Sister Tangerine, don't worry."

"If it's really blocked, I won't treat everyone badly. If you want to change jobs, I will give you this year's bonus in advance. ”

When these words came out, Fat Tang's eyes were a little red.

She immediately shook her head and said:

"No, I'm your agent, and I've been for the rest of my life."

"If you are really blocked, I will retire with you."

Listening to these sad words, Xu Yi said funny: "Don't mind, I only promised to give you this year's bonus, how can you rely on me for the rest of your life?" You can't do this kind of behavior......"

Fat Orange couldn't cry and laughed: "Boss! ”

It's all at this juncture, why is the boss still so heartless?

……

Three days later.

The news of Xu Yi's lawsuit against the main station was finally thrown into social networks like a bombshell.

The big melons in the entertainment industry are already hot, not to mention that today's Xu Yi is no longer the Xu Yi of a year ago. At this time, Xu Yi's popularity, fame, and prestige have reached an unprecedented highlight moment, and countless Xu Yi's fans, fans, and passers-by have participated in this topic.

"My brother Xu is fierce! Sue the main station, it's really a long time to see, brave! It's so brave! ”

"It's worthy of the man who wrote "The Lonely Brave", there is a kind!"

"Regardless of whether this lawsuit is won or lost, I have decided, from now on I will be a diehard fan of Brother Xu!"

"The main station is a little ugly, and this kind of money is earned...... Don't even have a face! ”

"Although I haven't looked at the specific things yet, I will definitely stand on Xu Yi this wave."

"Sue! Please the best lawyer in the country, the lawyer's fee is not enough, I am willing to support a little, justice cannot be drowned! ”

"I didn't expect that there would be such a good show after the voice, Brother Xu, come on!"

"Hehe, civil prosecutor, a group of fart people are boiling here! If I can win this lawsuit, I will run naked for 20 kilometers live ......" (end of this chapter)
