Entertainment Empire System

Ye Ming's answer was actually very direct, very straightforward, neat and neat, with only one sentence.

He left a message on his blog, can he check with the Copyright Center before saying goodbye?

Now almost everyone was a little dumbfounded.

In fact, in the entertainment industry, plagiarism of content from each other is not a common thing, but it is actually quite common. In movies and TV series, etc., there are similar plots. If it is not true, it will collide. When we get together, unless there are really irreconcilable conflicts, then under normal circumstances we just fight and file lawsuits to hype each other up.

It's not impossible to actually go to court, but this situation is relatively rare, because generally speaking, things in the entertainment industry are settled by people in the entertainment industry.

If you really go to court, you will be looked down upon by your colleagues in the entertainment industry, which proves that this person cannot afford to play in the entertainment industry. But if you really want to go to court, it is not unheard of in the entertainment industry. Win or lose. It's not important. Maybe we can use this opportunity to hype it up. This may be what people on both sides of the lawsuit hope for.

Moreover, there is a habit in the entertainment industry, which means that by default, everyone does not pay special attention to copyright, especially the copyright of content.

Because in the entertainment industry, the circle of screenwriters is actually quite small, and not many people hang out in the circle of screenwriters.

Basically, the people in this circle are relatively familiar people. Those who look up but don't look down may be able to collaborate on the next project, so we won't file a lawsuit unless it is absolutely necessary.

Moreover, there is not much emphasis on copyright, especially content, so it is not surprising that one book is plagiarized by another, especially if the content of the story is plagiarized.

As for registering copyright with the Copyright Center, this kind of thing is really not particularly common in the entertainment industry.

Of course, for some relatively major projects that require hundreds of millions of investments, it is worthwhile to register a copyright with the Copyright Center.

But usually, a screenwriter will basically write two, three, three or four scripts a year. It is even possible for a younger and more productive screenwriter to write five, six, seven or eight scripts a year.

Of course, this kind of book refers to the book of movies and TV series. If a writer is relatively prolific, it is not impossible to compile two books a year. It usually refers to the kind of TV series that were produced around the third century.

It is not impossible for a screenwriter to write two books a year, and screenwriters have a special habit of not saving money. This means that screenwriters write a lot of useless scripts, which means they can write the scripts with great difficulty. As a result, If you don't sell it and throw it into your hands, it's equivalent to scrapping the book.

If you go to the Copyright Center to register such a book, it will seem a bit useless. You can register it, but you have to spend money to register it. If you don't register it, then there will definitely be no copyright.

Moreover, the Copyright Center has a rather troublesome regulation, which refers to any registered book. The prices are all 1,000 yuan. This is the book for the movie, and 1,500 for the TV series.

No way, that's what the Copyright Center stipulates. You can register or not, but we are the authority anyway. As long as you register with us, as long as there is no box of copies in our copyright library, then we will register the copyright for you. This proves that the copyright of this book belongs to you.

But think about it, a script costs at least 1,000 yuan, and a TV series costs 1,500 yuan. Who dares to say that each screenwriter does not have three or five useless writers in his hands?

Some screenwriters have been in the industry for a long time, and it is not impossible to have 20 or 30 scrap scripts in their hands. Therefore, in such a situation, if these 20 or 30 scripts are registered to the copyright center, then this matter will It seems like the gain outweighs the loss.

After all, 20,000 to 30,000 yuan is worth to a screenwriter, especially if the job is not that good and the stable margin is 35,000 yuan, it is still compared. The larger figure is that it costs 350,000 just for a copyright that seems to be illusory. This is a bit inappropriate.

At least the screenwriter himself would think it was inappropriate. Couldn't he use the money to improve his life?

After all, if these copyrights are really registered, they will actually have a certain protective effect if someone plagiarizes them. The judge will also recognize the copyrights registered by the Copyright Center, but the probability is too small, almost 1‰.

Therefore, in terms of cost-effectiveness, if you successfully register all the useless books in your hands, it will be a big burden for a screenwriter.

Therefore, under such a situation, there is a relatively tacit unspoken rule in the entertainment industry, that is, the translation books in the hands of screenwriters generally do not register copyright, and later it gradually became popular.

Afterwards, the screenwriter wrote the script himself, regardless of whether it was a waste script or not, he was too lazy to register it with the Copyright Center. Anyway, as for copyright protection, it all depends on character.

If you really want to plagiarize, there is nothing you can do about it. If you really go to court, the company will still be able to help.

Therefore, most current screenwriters generally do not register their scripts as works with the copyright center because it costs money.

So in such a situation, Ye Ming wrote clearly and asked the plaintiff to directly check the situation at the Copyright Center. The meaning is very clear, that is, whether you have registered a copyright at the Copyright Center.

So the potential meaning of this sentence is that the script of our New White Snake Legend crew is a work that has been registered with the Copyright Center. If your work has been registered with the Copyright Center, then you should know who plagiarized whom. .

And generally speaking, what is more legally recognized is that the copyright center has registered copyright, because this copyright center actually has an official background.

Of course, its registration efficiency is still there. If not, who would spend money to register there? So in such a situation, the entertainment industry was involved in plagiarism due to the crew of The Legend of the White Snake.

Ye Ming's easy words turned the whole situation around, because the meaning of Ye Ming's words was very obvious. Our new Legend of the White Snake script cannot exist because it has been registered with the Copyright Center.

If plagiarism really exists, the Copyright Center will not register it for us.
