ace screenwriter

Chapter 60 The Savior

Yuan Yuan didn't expect this, he murmured: "How could it be? Didn't he know that "Secret Love" has already been filmed?"

Ning Xiuwu said: "How could he not know! Where did his script come from? Didn't it spread from our crew?"

This reminded Yuan Yuan, he said: "I lost my computer before, and it contained all my scripts. Could it be that the computer fell into his hands? I signed this script with a pseudonym, and he thought my script hadn't been sold yet." go out?"

Ning Xiuwu raised his voice: "How is this possible? Our movie was finished in early September, and they started shooting in October. At that time, we had been promoting it for a month, and the circle was so big, even if the screenwriter was not signed by you, the movie The name is so obvious, can he not pay attention to investigate it? He finished the filming in just two months, and the production went online in two months, and he wanted to release it ahead of us. If you say he didn’t do it on purpose, I will Screw your head off and kick it like a ball!"

Yuan Yuan said, "Isn't he afraid that we will sue him?"

"That's the strange thing. Could it be that he was lucky enough to think that you didn't register the copyright?" Ning Xiuwu said.

Yuan Yuan pondered for a while: "This possibility is too small. I registered the copyright immediately after every finished script. My computer was lost last December, and he delayed the start of filming until October this year, and it was in Why do we shoot after we finish filming?"

Ning Xiuwu couldn't figure it out: "So, it doesn't matter whether you got the script from your computer or stole it from our crew, it doesn't make sense according to common sense. What's the benefit of him doing such a lose-lose thing? They would rather take the risk of compensation and loss of reputation, but also plagiarize this script and rush to release it before us, what is the plan?"

Yuan Yuan frowned, he couldn't figure it out, if Wang Ruize would lose the copyright lawsuit, he would definitely lose.He suddenly thought that after "Daisy" was released first, even if the public knew that "Secret Love" was plagiarized, how many people would watch "Secret Love" when it was released?At that time, the box office of "Secret Love" can be imagined.Why did Wang Ruize kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred?The loss of the last movie has already hurt his vitality, and he should not take the risk of doing such a thankless thing again, unless there is something that makes him confident.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down. He originally thought that his computer fell into the hands of Qian Yijun, but now it seems that it is very likely that it fell into the hands of Wang Ruize, or that Wang Ruize and Qian Yijun may now They are teaming up to deal with him and Gu Yuren.Will Qian Yijun beat Gu Yuren to make him submit?Thinking about it this way, I couldn't help but shiver. If this is the case, then Qian Yijun is too scary.

Yuan Yuan said: "Sister Ning, we have to discuss the countermeasures with our junior brother."

Ning Xiuwu said: "Then will you come forward?"

Yuan Yuan remembered that he had always been anonymous, Gu Yuren didn't know that he was the author of "Secret Love", he hesitated for a few seconds: "I'll go." It's about this time, they are together anyway, there is nothing to say of.

Ning Xiuwu said: "Okay, you come to the company with him, and I will wait for you at the company."

At that time, Yuan Yuan and Gu Yuren were meeting a client who had worked with him before. Gu Yuren had a good chat with the proprietress who was in charge of finance, and hoped that the other party could provide Yuan Yuan with a proof of expenses. Like Gu Yuren, he ordered his subordinates to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find receipts from several years ago.

When Yuan Yuan hung up the phone and returned to the financial office, Gu Yuren was signing autographs for the proprietress.The other party said: "Mr. Gu, please sign a few more copies for me. My daughter likes you the most. Now that I have your autograph, I must die of joy."

Gu Yuren was kind and generous: "No problem, I will write a few more copies for you."

A little girl poked her head in from the outside and knocked on the door: "Sister Fen, I've found it. Do you think it's this one?"

The proprietress took the receipt and looked at it: "Yes, this is it. The total cost is [-], of which [-] is the activity fund, and [-] is the remuneration for Mr. Yuan. Xiao Li, take two copies and give it to Mr. Gu."

Gu Yuren turned his head and fired at the little girl: "Thank you, you have worked hard!"

The little girl blushed and went out quickly.

Yuan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were many difficulties, they were reducing the number little by little, and so far there are only about [-] left.Soon, the copy was delivered, and the proprietress even signed and stamped it herself.The little girl who helped asked for a photo with Gu Yuren, and Yuan Yuan took a photo for them.

After going out, Gu Yuren's face was full of self-deprecating smiles: "I didn't expect my face to be quite easy to use."

Yuan Yuan was full of sadness: "Thank you for your hard work." When did Gu Yuren need to beg for help in such a low voice, he has done too much for himself.

Gu Yuren put on the sunglasses: "Okay, where shall we go next?"

Yuan Yuan said, "Let's go back to the studio."

Gu Yuren raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing back in the studio?"

Yuan Yuan said: "Sister Ning called me just now, saying that there is something wrong with the movie and asked you to go to the studio."

Gu Yuren said with a sullen face, "What's wrong with the movie?"

Yuan Yuan didn't know how to speak: "It's hard for me to say, let's go back first."

Yuan Yuan drove back to the studio and found that the office was empty, the girl at the front desk was not there, and the accountant and assistant were also absent, only Liu Yijie and Ning Xiuwu were there.Gu Yuren walked in: "Why aren't you here, are you off work?"

Ning Xiuwu said: "Those who ask for leave ask for leave, and those who do business work. You are back, Xiaoyu, let's have a meeting and go to the conference room. Yijie, prepare the materials."

Yuan Yuan and Gu Yuren were sitting in the meeting room, Liu Yijie released the promotional content of "Daisy" and the outline of the "Daisy" script that Ning Xiuwu had asked for in private, and Gu Yuren watched it without saying a word. Wan: "You mean, Wang Ruize plagiarized a movie we haven't released yet?"

Ning Xiuwu nodded: "Yes."

Gu Yuren frowned: "The screenwriter sold a script to two companies?"

Yuan Yuan smiled helplessly.Ning Xiuwu also looked at Yuan Yuan sympathetically, and said, "The screenwriter is sitting next to you, you asked him if he sold it or not?"

Gu Yuren turned his head to look at Yuan Yuan, then opened his eyes suddenly, with an expression of disbelief: "Brother? Isn't his name Jian Mo?"

Yuan Yuan covered his forehead with his hands, and smiled awkwardly.

Gu Yuren grabbed Yuan Yuan's shoulder: "Brother, did you really write it?"

Yuan Yuan nodded in embarrassment.Ning Xiuwu explained for him: "He said at the time that he felt embarrassed to write such a love story. He was afraid that you would make a joke, so he didn't use his real name, but a pseudonym."

Gu Yuren thumped his shoulder hard: "It's hard for you to lie to me!"

Ning Xiuwu said: "Let's not talk about this for now, the two of you brothers will slowly calculate the account in private. The problem now is, we have been copied, what should we do?"

Gu Yuren finally took his hand off Yuan Yuan's shoulder and said, "The lawsuit must be fought. We can't take advantage of him."

Ning Xiuwu looked at Yuan Yuan: "What do you think, Xiao Yuan?"

Yuan Yuan pondered for a moment: "I originally thought that my computer was lost and fell into the hands of Qian Yijun, but now I believe it fell into the hands of Wang Ruize."

Liu Yijie said: "Why? Maybe our crew leaked the script."

Yuan Yuan said: "Just now I read his script outline, and there was a clip that I deleted. Normally, we would avoid two repetitive themes when filming, not to mention such obvious plagiarism. We fought with him. If the lawsuit asks for compensation, then he has been working in vain, do you think ordinary people will do this?"

Gu Yuren said: "Unless he decides that we cannot win the lawsuit, or he is not afraid of losing money."

Yuan Yuan nodded: "That's right. If he is confident, of course he can do anything, maybe he deliberately made this movie against us. Wang Ruize has always been looking for someone from Pang's family. I don't know what he is looking for now. who is it."

Ning Xiuwu said: "Recently he got very close to a man named Zhou Jiaying."

Gu Yuren frowned, and it took a while before he said, "If I remember correctly, this Zhou Jiaying is Zhou Yun's nephew. It really is their family's fault."

"Who is Zhou Yun?" Yuan Yuan asked.

"Zhou Fengming's mother." Gu Yuren said angrily.

Then Zhou Jiaying is Zhou Fengming's cousin, Yuan Yuan suddenly thought of a possibility: "What kind of person is his mother?"

Gu Yuren twitched the corner of his mouth mockingly: "How can a woman who is a mistress be a good person?"

Seeing that Gu Yuren commented on Zhou Yun like this, Yuan Yuan seemed to have a very bad relationship with Zhou Yun, and there was another possibility for this matter, maybe it was a deal between Wang Ruize and Zhou Yun.

Ning Xiuwu said: "The most important thing right now is what should we do with our movie? Should it be released in advance or according to the original plan?"

Gu Yuren frowned and looked at Ning Xiuwu: "If you have to advance, then only the Lunar New Year and the Spring Festival are left. Our movie is not suitable for release in these two schedules. If you release it in such a hurry, do you think it will be acceptable?" To what good effect?"

Ning Xiuwu said: "Then if we don't change the schedule, will our movie still survive?"

Gu Yuren said: "Of course the schedule has to be changed, let's postpone it. When they are released, we will sue them, sue them for plagiarism, and fire them upside down. Having to reshoot, play the bitterness card, and then release it a few months later, audiences might go to the movie out of curiosity and sympathy."

Liu Yijie asked: "Are you really going to reshoot?"

Gu Yuren said, "It depends on the situation."

Ning Xiuwu said, "When will it be pushed?"

"At least until the summer vacation." Gu Yuren said.

"Okay, I'll contact you later," Ning Xiuwu said.

"Yijie, collect all the evidence of Wang Ruize's plagiarism, and prepare to file a lawsuit." Gu Yuren stretched his waist, "Recently, there have been a lot of troubles, thank you for your hard work, and when I'm done, I'll give you red envelopes. "

Ning Xiuwu thought for a while, and said: "Recently, there have been a lot of poachers in our studio. It is estimated that everyone except you has been poached."

Liu Yijie nodded: "Yes, people from headhunting companies have also looked for me."

Gu Yuren was a little surprised: "There is such a thing? Who left?"

Ning Xiuwu said: "The little girl at the front desk is gone, and there are two contracted artists who have to terminate their contracts."

"Hey! This is an attempt to turn me into a poor commander." Gu Yuren twitched the corner of his mouth, "If you want to leave, you can leave, and you can't miss a penny for breach of contract. I will call everyone here tomorrow, and I will open a meeting for everyone. meeting."

Ning Xiuwu nodded: "Okay. How is Xiao Yuan's matter?"

Yuan Yuan said: "Fortunately, we are working hard to communicate with the tax bureau. There should be a result in a few days." Even if the communication fails, it is time to start the court.

Ning Xiuwu said: "Actually, this is not a problem with you. There are many big tax arrears. There are tens of millions of people. I haven't seen anyone arrested and sent to jail. At most, they have to pay their debts." Taxes will do."

Yuan Yuan smiled wryly, who told him to offend the villain, he deserved his bad luck.

Gu Yuren said: "Okay, brother, didn't you invite your former friend tonight? Let's go find him. Sister Ning, I'm sorry for you for the time being. After we finish working these few days, we will find a way to deal with it together." Wang Ruize is a smelly cockroach that cannot be killed."

Ning Xiuwu waved her hand: "Okay, you guys go."

Out of the studio door, a gust of cold wind swept towards them, the heat on Yuan Yuan's body disappeared without a trace in an instant, he wrapped his coat tightly, it was so cold, he and Gu Yuren were also experiencing The winter of life.Gu Yuren noticed his movements, and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his shoulders: "Is it cold?"

Yuan Yuan shook his head: "It's okay." He walked quickly to the side of the car, opened the door, got into the driver's seat, started the car, and began to have some heating. When Gu Yuren got into the car, the phone rang, and Yuan Yuan He put his hand into his coat pocket, took it out and saw that it was Zhou Fengming calling, and he glanced at Gu Yuren.

Gu Yuren was also looking at him: "Answer the phone, what are you looking at me for?"

Yuan Yuan connected: "Mr. Zhou." Gu Yuren frowned.

Zhou Fengming said over there: "How is your case recently?"

Yuan Yuan sighed: "I'm still looking for evidence, and there are almost a hundred thousand in taxes."

Zhou Fengming said: "Bring all your evidence to the tax bureau tomorrow, pay the tax you owe, and pay a fine of 0.5 times, and forget about it."

Yuan Yuan was a little surprised: "Really?"

Zhou Fengming coughed twice: "Of course it's true, can I still lie to you? To help you, I've tried my best. Remember me next time."

The expression on Yuan Yuan's face was very strange, he wanted to cry, but also wanted to laugh: "Then thank you very much, Mr. Zhou, I will definitely remember your great kindness in my heart."

Zhou Fengming coughed again: "Stop talking nonsense, I'm paying you back. Is my brother by your side? I'll talk to him."

"Okay, wait a minute." Yuan Yuan held the microphone and said to Gu Yuren with joy on his face, "Zhou Fengming told me to let me pay taxes and fines tomorrow, and forget about my business. Well! He wants to talk to you."

Seeing the joyful expression on Yuan Yuan's face, Gu Yuren felt a little uncomfortable. Why wasn't he the one who helped him solve the problem? He stretched out his hand: "Give it to me." He answered the phone and chatted with Zhou Fengming. He replied with "um" and "oh", with an indifferent and cold look, and after a while he said: "Help me find out what that scumbag named Zhou Jiaying is doing recently, is it related to that bitch Wang Ruize?" Get mixed up and plot against me?" The other side didn't know what to say.Gu Yuren said: "He copied all my movies... OK, call me later." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

Yuan Yuan looked at Gu Yuren: "Did you just hang up?"

Gu Yuren glanced at him: "What?"

Yuan Yuan hurriedly said: "Oh, it's all right." He still wanted to thank Zhou Fengming more, but he seemed to be coughing just now.

"Hurry up and drive!" Gu Yuren said.

Yuan Yuan nodded: "Oh, okay, where are you going?"

Gu Yuren said: "Go home, call your friend, I don't need to see you, I'm exhausted! Since Zhou Fengming's face is so effective, why didn't he use it earlier, and let me go to pay for tens of thousands of yuan bills?" Laugh!"

Yuan Yuan suddenly felt a little uneasy: "Junior brother, I'm sorry, thank you for your hard work."

Gu Yuren said: "It has nothing to do with you! Drive your car!" He turned his head and sulked.
