Since he was a Chinese employee who didn't need to speak English, Su Changqing answered the phone.

A very young male voice told him in a serious tone that did not match his age: "We in Hollywood are in the process of a very important copyright deal, during which we found out that one of your novels was suspected of plagiarism, which seriously disrupted the transaction, this kind of behavior is very bad, and you are responsible for all the possible consequences." ”

What kind of is this, it sounds like a phone scam that is on the rise a decade later.

The movie "Titanic" was only released at the end of ninety-seven, and there are still two and a half years left, and it is possible to start work now, after all, it is a big production, and it is normal to spend two or three years before and after.

However, as Hollywood's largest investment project in recent years, it has attracted huge attention as soon as it starts, but I haven't seen any related news yet.

Su Changqing believes that "Titanic" has only entered the stage of copyright pre-sale financing, so he found that the copyright has long been occupied.

Hollywood has many forms of financing deals that allow a film to generate revenue through pre-sales of rights before it even begins, and some top directors can even recoup their investment before the film is released.

"Titanic" is a big project of 300 million, and if it is yellow because of copyright issues, it will be miserable, and you will have to lose a lot of money in the early stage of financing alone.

This phone call made Su Changqing not very happy, if you have something to say, you should say it well, and it's not too late to turn your face if you can't say it, right?

Of course, he knows that he is plagiarizing, but rebirth is God's arrangement, based on the principle of copyright first priority, this is a confused account, it's not bad if I don't trouble others, you come to me?

It's really hateful that these God-believing guys dare to detain to God without any evidence.

In fact, Su Changqing was in a bad mood when he published his novel last year, and he once thought that it was impossible to achieve much in making movies in China, and no matter how well he did, it was nothing more than copying the results of "My Sassy Girlfriend" again and again, and making some money at home and at home.

Looking at the development trajectory of the five generations of directors, it is clear that in fact, it has been declining all the way, and in the end, some of them have stopped, and the rest have all gone to shoot commercial films of low standards.

Su Changqing's worldview was originally a bit radical, and after the mood swings, he thought that he had no chance to share the top of the pyramid that Europe and the United States had occupied for two hundred years, and people were not even willing to give you a chance to climb up.

"The first generation became robbers, robbing homes and houses, raping and plundering capital; the second generation took bloody capital as gentlemen and continued to deceive and expand industries; the third generation became aristocrats, began to study art and academics, occupied the right to speak in the elite, and became a superior person.

This is the world pattern in Su Changqing's eyes.

A bloody road that has been built by people for 200 years, why let others walk on it casually, and the highway is still tolled.

Su Changqing thinks that he has seen these things very thoroughly, and he is reasonable.

Movies like "Red Sorghum" and "Farewell My Concubine" are definitely of world standard, and the Western world has also recognized their level, so can they enter their theaters to make money?

Of course not, the two films that won top international awards did not enter the mainstream theaters in the end after a lot of hard work, and they made some money abroad by relying on the support of overseas Chinese.

The first film to be released internationally in China was Zhongyi Brothers' "Big Names" a few years later, because Hollywood stars were invited to participate and accepted the other party's investment, they were forced to enter the Western market to create a little box office, and in the end the money earned was not as good as the promotion fee, and no one dared to try it again.

That's the reality, a few years from now, and twenty years from now.

So Su Changqing's motive for writing novels at that time was very simple, and he also wanted to learn from the ancestors of other generations to plunder and engage in a bloody accumulation of capital.

But not long after it was published, he felt bored, and he didn't even plan to use it at that time.

The main reason is that he doesn't like this kind of yin and yin way, if he starts filming a shipwreck romance film first, releases it first, and takes up the subject matter and makes money, then forget it, so digging a thunder and waiting for others to step on it, it doesn't look good, and it belongs to taking advantage of it without any effort.

The primitive accumulation of others is made by real knives and guns, and it is the next generation's business to be abducted and deceived.

The novel has already been sent and can't be withdrawn, so forget it, just treat it as if it wasn't written.

However, the other party has great powers, and novels published in such inconspicuous magazines can also be found.

It's just that the handling method is too rough, and I'm still playing the intimidation set, first send a first-class secretary to give a face, and then don't even send the secretary, and make two doglegs to shout.

"You're taking bean bags and not dry food, okay, don't cause you any damage, I'm sorry I wrote it all night. ”

After analyzing the world pattern so much, I can't be ruthless in the end, since I don't want to be reasonable, let's not talk about it, let's talk about the other party's attitude first.

Su Changqing replied casually: "I have published many novels, all of which are original, why do they have anything to do with your Hollywood, which novel are you talking about?"

He wrote more than one novel, and he posted a lot of them during that time, but most of them are really original, and you can't just post a novel in your life and collide with others.

Su Changqing's uncooperative attitude also annoyed the other party, and his tone became tougher: "You know which article you know, let's go back to Beijing for an interview immediately, as long as we sign a letter of repentance and waiver, we can not blame the past." ”

Repentance and abstention?

There are very strict criteria for judging whether plagiarism is infringing, and it is impossible for the other party to take it, and the more bluff it is, the more annoying it is.

In this way, Su Changqing was even more unwilling to compromise.

If this happened twenty years later, Su Changqing might have been really unlucky, there was an Internet at that time, and some things were unclear, Lao Mei said that if you steal the network, you will steal.

Moreover, there is a more complete electronic filing system for scripts, and it is easy to judge whose story is produced first, and the advancement of technology has also led to the expansion of jurisdiction.

However, there is no way to play these yin now, the so-called copyright is first-come, first-served, and the final judgment criterion is who publishes it first.

This matter must be a big deal, if there is no evidence to prove that Su Changqing got the detailed story of the movie in advance, then it can only be that Hollywood plagiarized his novel.

Su Changqing didn't get up and run errands, and said lightly: "Don't be unreasonable, I don't have time to play with you, so let's do it, if you think any of my novels are suspected of plagiarism, go to the court to sue, my country's law is fair."

In addition, don't harass our company again, otherwise you will call the police directly!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone and continued to go back to shoot his own film.

Mu Mu and Huang Bo were very busy with their work, and they were constantly invited to advertise and various activities, so that in the end, Su Changqing had to ask the brokerage company to reduce their exposure, and not to use their image too much in order to make money.

Especially advertisements can't be randomized, one day Su Changqing saw the waterproof coating endorsed by Huang Bo on the street.

Su Changqing stopped writing to Mu Mu for a long time, and the two of them almost got started, and they still wrote a fart, but they didn't really have an addiction to writing letters.

Mu Mu's feelings for him warmed up quickly, and he ran to the Tanggu studio whenever he was free, and many people repeatedly reminded him not to expose his relationship and affect his future development, but she didn't care at all.

However, the two of them have been in the stage of simulation exercises, so there is no need to be too anxious, just to adjust their body and mind in an all-round way.

The key is that every time Liu Yufei follows, there is really no chance.

Huang Bo also came to visit the class twice, and later made a cameo appearance on a whim as a zombie with more shots.

Two days after the phone call with the Chinese employees, the first secretary, Melulan Dora, arrived on the set in Tanggu.
