This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 276 I'm the Genuine Version

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

This trial failed to produce a result, and it will take some time to continue.

Moreover, this case affects not only Fox Film and Television, but also the famous novel Lord of the Rings.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy, as well as the hit film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, will also be affected.

This involves a huge benefit of billions or even billions of dollars.

It is destined to be an extremely long process for this case to come to a result, and it is difficult to determine the result in one or two trials.

Before the court session, Bob was full of self-satisfaction, but after it was over, his face was solemn and his steps were vain.

The reporters who had been waiting for a long time surrounded it like a shark smelling fishy.

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

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

"How much do you think Fox Films needs to lose this time?"

The reporters' questions were malicious, and Bob remained silent, without saying a word, but left in a hurry.

Some reporters chased after him, and more reporters stayed behind, looking at Milton like a rare treasure.

This was a hobbit, a living hobbit, a Hobbit recognized by the Federation.

Big news.

The reporters surrounded Milton tightly, and a series of questions were thrown out.

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

"How much will you ask Fox Film and Television to compensate?"

"Would you sue the original author of The Lord of the Rings?"

"Sir, why did you stand up today? Did you have any difficulties before?"

In a short period of time, the news of Milton the Hobbit was on Twitter's trending searches, triggering heated discussions among netizens.

"My God, there are living hobbits in the Federation."

"It was really surprising."

"The guy is famous, and he's about to get rich."

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

"This reminds me of the KFC Family Bucket case. They lost a lot of money because they didn't have enough food. This hobbit named Milton will definitely make Fox Film and Television lose money."

"I guess the lawyers are getting excited."

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

In comparison, Xu Nan's incident was nothing at all, and he quickly passed away. Netizens' interest in him immediately shifted to this case.

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

Theoretically speaking, seeing the box office of the movie he shot rises, he should be happy, but James is not happy at all.

The genuine Hobbit appeared, and when I filmed the film without the consent of others, it was tantamount to infringing on the rights of their racial reputation.

If this is the defendant, the consequences will be dire.

It is very likely that all the money earned now will be compensated in the future.

There is also a sequel movie that was originally promised. In the case of copyright disputes, it will definitely not be able to be made.

In this case, James is not happy at all.

What is this called? The Lord of the Rings novels have been out for decades, why is there a copyright dispute all of a sudden?

You hobbit, you don't jump out sooner or later, why do you jump out at this time.

In a quiet cafe, Lin Ziyi stirred the coffee in the cup with her pale fingers, teasingly said: "Xu Nan, you are very popular in the United States now, you are almost like a star."

Xu Nan's expression was very calm: "I am a talented director, and I am naturally popular. Haven't you heard an old saying that a talented person is like a thorn in a prick, and it will be revealed sooner or later. It is normal for Americans to worship me."

Lin Ziyi couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "It's to give you face to say that you are popular. To be precise, your life in the United States is notorious, and your reputation is also a bad reputation. Now you go online to see your fans, ten fans Among them, nine are black fans, and one is just watching your fun."

Xu Nan was still very calm: "It's all the same. Whichever 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. Just look at "The Age of the Hobbit". Breaking 4000 million at the box office, this is more than 2 million domestically, the United States is really a good place, money in sacks."

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

When a movie is released, you are not afraid of being scolded, but you are afraid that there will be no one to scold you.

The higher the popularity, the higher the box office.

From this point of view, Xu Nan is still very successful. Although the word of mouth is rotten, he has made money.

The main reason is that it was the first time this kind of copycat movie appeared in the United States. The audience was very curious, and the next time it was released, it would not have this effect.

In addition, Xu Nan's propaganda is very strong, 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 has been so many days since it was released, and the movie "The Age of the Hobbit" is still at the center of the topic, and it has never been dropped. How could the box office be low.

Xu Nan is also very courageous.

Other directors dare not be as crazy and defiant as Xu Nan.

Everyone promotes movies, although they use all means, but at least they have to face.

Xu Nan was different. In order to promote the movie, he didn't want any face at all. He dared to say anything in all kinds of crooked ways.

"By the way, how do you plan to resolve the Hobbit infringement case?" Lin Ziyi said suddenly: "Fox Films contacted me and can accept an out-of-court settlement. They are willing to pay for it."

Xu Nan shook his head: "It's useless to ask me about this matter. You have to go to Milton. He is the Hobbit, and he has the right to decide whether to reconcile."

"I'm just an introduction, and the dominance of this case is no longer in my hands, but in Milton's."

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

Xu Nan nodded: "I came up with the idea, but Milton is not a fool. Finally, there is an opportunity to change his fate and get rich overnight. Can he give up?"

Lin Ziyi nodded slightly.

There are indeed many such examples in the United States. For example, someone sued KFC because the family bucket was not enough for the whole family to eat.

Outrageous?
outrageous.

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

There are many examples like this, and many poor people have become rich by relying on the big Pengci company.

With such a role model ahead, how could Milton give up this good opportunity, even if he voluntarily gave 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 for decades, and this Milton has never jumped out. Why did you know it when you came here?" Lin Ziyi asked curiously.

She was really curious about this point. The original author of Lord of the Rings didn't know about it, and Fox Film and Television copyright had been purchased for more than ten years without finding out. As a result, Xu Nan, a foreigner, found out as soon as he came.

It's a bit outrageous.

Xu Nan said directly: "It's just luck, I discovered it by accident."

"Really?" Lin Ziyi didn't quite believe it, but it seemed that there was no other explanation except good luck.

In fact, it was because the Shelter Film and Television had encountered this kind of thing in the previous life.

A big company made "The Hobbit of the Lord of the Rings", and then Sanctuary Films and Television quickly fiddled with the copycat "The Age of the Hobbit".

Then the big company saw it, it’s not right, you have infringed the copyright, I bought the copyright of the Hobbit, if you did not get my consent, it is an infringement and you have to pay.

Then the big company took Shelter Film and Television to court and asked them to lose money.

But Shelter Film and Television had already prepared, and directly produced evidence, saying that what they filmed was not the hobbit in the Lord of the Rings, but the story of another primitive tribe, the hobbit.

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

When Xu Nan came to the United States, he saw the news of the movie The Hobbit, and immediately thought of this matter. After a decisive investigation, he found that in this world, there is an Indian tribe in the United States called the Hobbit, which is still recognized by the Federation.

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

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

Fox actually has the nerve to say that he plagiarized, just kidding, the real plagiarism is you guys.

My "The Age of the Hobbit" is the film authorized by the real hobbit.

However, Fox Film and Television's "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" has not been authorized.

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

This wave, it's a genuine copycat movie.

Hmm, no problem.
