Chapter 105: I Really Don't Want to Ride the Titanic
Melulan Dora is tall and has titanium blonde hair, and looks a bit like Ivanka, the eldest princess of the Sichuan Emperor.
She came with a young female translator with a sad face, both of whom looked to be under thirty years of age, each carrying a large briefcase, as if ready to flee at any moment.
When she came, Mu Mu was also there, Su Changqing didn't let her avoid it, blasted a group of chatty zombies out of the carriage, and then sat inside and talked for a while.
This is also a typical Hollywood model of the plot.,When the male protagonist fights the big monster or the final boss,The female protagonist must be on the sidelines to watch the battle.。
Quarrels and fights are not seen by anyone as a night walk in brocade clothes, how boring it is.
Melulan Dora was not as aggressive as the staff said, but was very polite: "We have received questions about intellectual property rights in China, and we know something about your novel "I Really Don't Want to Ride Titanic". ”
This statement is very different from the previous one, the two Chinese employees insisted on plagiarism, and asked Su Changqing to honestly go back and sign the waiver.
In fact, Su Changqing was also quite puzzled, he used to say that the first reaction of people in the beautiful country was to threaten, and he couldn't help but reason and talk about the law anymore, because he had always lacked experience in dealing with them directly, and he thought it was black them, it seems that Qingshan has always been this virtue if he does not change.
But no matter how you say that Su Changqing is also a well-known director and has won Western awards, it's not appropriate to scare him as a bun, right?
But it's normal to put yourself in their shoes, people at the top of the world, at a glance, there is no one else but themselves.
So it's not surprising that these people lack some basic common sense, because they don't care about the so-called common sense at all, they decide what is right and wrong, and common sense is for others to follow.
However, Su Changqing did not allow Melulan Dora to say a word: "I don't think you are here to understand the situation, it's better for everyone to be honest, two of your employees accused me of plagiarizing Hollywood works before, and ordered me to sign a letter of repentance and waiver, otherwise I will bear the consequences." ”
At her own risk, Meluran Dora also said, but then showed a surprised expression: "Our employees have contacted you?"
"You came to my company and made a lot of noise, and it had a very bad impact. ”
Melulan Dora shook her head in disbelief, "I think it was a misunderstanding, the two employees didn't convey exactly what we meant. ”
It's the old routine again, and the two doglegs are sold.
In fact, Su Changqing could roughly guess the development of this matter.
The "Titanic" project has matured and entered the financing stage, when someone discovered Su Changqing's novel "I Really Don't Want to Ride Titanic".
So one stone stirs up a thousand waves, what is the situation?
Of course someone plagiarized!
"Titanic" is a $300 million production, which is the largest single film investment in history, equivalent to three billion now, who dares to stir up?
This project cannot be braked, although filming has not yet started, but in the Gulf of Mexico has spent a huge amount of money to build a special production base, tens of millions have already been spent.
But how the plot was leaked out is unimaginable.
At the moment, this is top secret, and only director and screenwriter Cameron has the entire plot in his hands.
One can imagine the embarrassment of Cameron when he was questioned at the rights trade meeting.
"Could it be that you accidentally read this Chinese novel before, and then forgot about it, and then wrote it and thought it was your own original?"
"No way, the magazine sales of that novel are very low, I can't have the opportunity to get into it, I have been thinking about this story for three years, and that novel was published half a year ago!"
"Could you please recall, is there such a situation that some plots of our script were different from the novel half a year ago, but after revision, they are almost the same?"
"What do you mean by that? Do you think I'm plagiarizing?"
This is more objective, the script has been changing, and if there is a similar situation, it cannot be said that someone copied it.
However, Cameron knew in his heart that there was indeed such a situation, half a year ago the script was only 70% similar to the novel, but now it has reached 80%.
Is it really possible for two people to come up with the same story, with a similarity of 80 percent?
It's bizarre.
If something goes wrong, it has to be investigated, and this matter must be dealt with in any case.
The initial investigation should have been done by Hollywood, and Su Changqing was quickly found out from the publishing house: "Is it a director?
The novel was actually written by a fellow director, so all the logic and details are not important, and the embassy in China should be notified immediately to deal with the matter.
The embassy, of course, believed in Hollywood, and attached great importance to it, and the secretaries were divided into three classes, and directly sent a first-class secretary second only to the cultural counselor to deal with the matter.
But the beautiful country is not a straw bag country after all, and Melulan Dora may not feel quite right after the first contact with the fourth dimension, so she carefully investigated Su Changqing's background.
It doesn't matter if you check this time, I found that although Su Changqing is an international award-winning director, he is still a local bun who has never been abroad, let alone Hollywood, and even his passport has just been issued recently, and he has not used it once.
Although his "Model Team" won the 19th Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Costume Design, he has never had any contact with Brave Country, and he has never made a phone call, so it is hard to imagine how he could have plagiarized Cameron's story.
It's been half a month since such a check, and Hollywood is in a hurry to trade copyrights, and it must be very urgent.
Although there are strange things, this matter must be explained to Hollywood as soon as possible, and in line with the principle that everyone is right and others are guilty, two Chinese employees were finally sent to deal with it toughly.
This is like a wave of firepower before landing on the beach.
It's not serious to do this, but they don't care about offending Su Changqing, and it is possible to solve this matter as soon as possible by using both soft and hard measures.
Of course, these are all guessed by Su Changqing, and he is not responsible for guessing wrong.
Regardless of whether the guess was right or wrong, he made up his mind to delay this matter until everyone lost their temper.
Therefore, he first expressed his indignation at the hegemonic behavior of imperialism in a long speech, starting from the founding of the beautiful country, and talked for five minutes, with sufficient historical knowledge, so that Mu Mu was dumbfounded: "How do you feel like you are prepared, who is looking for whose fault in the end?"
In the end, Melulan Dora had to say: "We will take the nuisance of two employees seriously......"
Of course, this is a verbal response, but Su Changqing didn't buy it, and interrupted the translator's words: "This is not the point of the problem, those two employees do things for you and carry the black pot for you, are they embarrassed to cross the river and tear down the bridge? It is not easy for them to find a job that earns US dollars, and they have to support their families." ”
The good guys and the bad guys let him be, Su Changqing specially confessed to the embarrassed translator: "Translate the original words to her, it will also be good for you." ”
After such a period of confusion, Melulan Dora became a lot weaker, and was a little helpless: "I personally apologize for all kinds of misunderstandings before, although it has caused a lot of inconvenience, I still ask Mr. Su to cooperate with our investigation." ”
Diplomacy is a matter of course, and an apology is also a personal representation.
Su Changqing asked coldly: "Do you have the right to investigate here?"
Diplomats may not have investigative powers.
Melulan Dora ignored the tail, this was obviously wrong, and she was speechless for a while: "The translation is misunderstood, I mean understanding the situation." ”
It's not easy to work for them, no wonder the female translator has grown into a sad face.
"It doesn't seem to make sense to know my work, and I'm not going to work with anyone who slanders my copyright. ”
Su Changqing blocked the road with one sentence.
Want to push the limit hard first and then soft?
I'm also an expert in this.
