Chapter 578 Hey, brother

Mr. Jeff Foster, the assistant director of "The Voice", Suri had met each other several times in the company and in the studio.

At this time, I specially practiced in advance to lower my voice and speak with a British accent, so that Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears would not recognize me through my voice.

Suri asked:

"With the experience of filming the first season, it will be a little easier to prepare this time. There is also the matter of selling the copyright. It seems that it has been sold to several TV stations?"

Assistant director Jeff nodded and explained:

"That's right. The initial licensing fee is slightly cheaper. Signing a new contract every year has the opportunity to help our company earn more. As for the preparation of the program, we have actually encountered a trouble in the past two days. We are trying to find a solution. solve……"

"The arrangement of signing contracts year by year is decided by me. As for the trouble you are talking about, what do you mean specifically?"

Listen to Suri's question.

Assistant director Jeff said awkwardly:

"Yesterday, an Irishman came to us with a lawyer and said that he had registered the trademark patent for "The Voice of America" ​​as early as 2009 and requested compensation of US$10 million. We have arranged for lawyers to negotiate and communicate. , I still don’t know whether it is true or false.”

"..."

think carefully.

It was used directly at the beginning, and no one was sent to investigate whether the name "The Voice of America" ​​had been patented.

Su Rui didn't mention it, but it didn't mean that his employees could be careless. In his opinion, they shouldn't make such low-level mistakes.

Since the other party dares to bring a lawyer to the door, it means that they have communicated with the lawyer in advance, and there is a high probability that this is indeed the case.

What makes him curious is that since "The Voice of America" ​​has been registered, is the name of his company's program currently protected by patents?

There is obviously a reason why legal fees in the United States account for such a high proportion of GDP.

There is no way to do business or be a celebrity in the United States without being sued. Tweet, Netflix Entertainment, Caishen Capital, and Suri himself are all involved in lawsuits all year round.

For example, there was a netizen in Florida who filed a lawsuit seeking compensation of up to US$60 million because his Tweet had blocked his post about "walking a bird." The reason was that he suffered severe mental harm after being blocked.

There was also a fan of Suri who sued him, demanding 3.5 million US dollars in compensation. The reason was that when he went to New York to attend a concert, the fan's hearing was damaged due to the excessive noise around him. Later, due to lack of evidence, the court directly rejected the case.

The most bizarre thing is that Suri's public relations team once copied a photo of himself online and posted it on the forum.

Then he was sued by the paparazzi who took the photo, demanding compensation of US$100,000.

It was because there were too many messy lawsuits that Suri chose to "shield" them through secretary Amanda. She didn't want to care about such trivial matters, which would easily affect her mood.

I'll be on stage soon.

Su Rui only told that he already knew, and then asked Jiang Jiaya to send someone to find out the specific situation.

The program "The Voice" may bring tens of digits of revenue to the company, so it deserves a little more attention. By the way, check the copyright status of other film and television programs to avoid being exploited by others.

Take Kimchi Country, for example, it is best at simply changing something, and then shamelessly saying it belongs to them. Since Netflix Entertainment’s online drama became popular, it sells Korean dramas on illegal drugs, zombies, vampires and other themes, one after another. One emerged.

When Su Rui seizes the opportunity, he will definitely give them a stick secretly to let some people understand that their things are not so easy to get for free.

In 2009, Kimchi Country was still dancing happily, and a group of media clamored to ban Netflix Entertainment.

Without the support of allies such as Goldman Sachs and BlackRock, they might have succeeded. Suri has always remembered this...

shooting scene.

Britney Spears, who is still engaged to Ashton Kutcher and has not yet decided when to hold the wedding, wore a sparkling deep V-neck dress today with delicate makeup on her face.

She, Avril Lavigne and others all sat on swivel chairs facing the audience and commented one by one on the contestants who participated in the blind audition.

There are very few contestants who can be favored by mentors. Most of them don't have any mentor to turn around for them until the end of the audition time.

Filming on stage continues.

Suri, who was wearing a dreadlocked wig and a fox mask, and a loose hip-hop suit that didn't match his usual temperament, came to the players' rest area alone with ease.

Only the director, assistant director, producer, makeup artist and two photographers knew that he acted as a mysterious guest and personally participated in the blind audition. All of them were given a silence order by the producer and were not allowed to be disclosed to the public before the program was broadcast. explain.

All the spectators who came to the scene were also given a reason to leave their cameras and mobile phones outside to avoid leaking the photos of the scene in advance.

Hidden under the mask, Suri felt very relaxed.

After being a star for so many years, you will always attract attention when you appear in public. Over time, it is actually quite annoying, and the novelty has long since disappeared.

I just found an empty seat and sat down. A black guy next to me, who was probably a little nervous, took the initiative to chat and joked:

"Hey, brother, your outfit is very cool. Are these new shoes from the Coconut series? Why have I never seen them before?"

"The idea of ​​wearing a mask is very unique, but it's a pity that you forget that the auditions are all blind at the scene. It doesn't matter how exaggerated you dress up."

"But why are you wearing a mask? You must not be disfigured or too ugly. I have a friend who is also ugly, so he likes to attend Halloween parties the most. Only wearing a mask can I have the courage to hook up with some drunk people. Pretty girl."

"And he has succeeded before. Can you imagine that there was a guy wearing a Flash mask standing behind him? That girl was definitely very drunk..."

There’s a reason why black people rap so well.

Many people are very talkative on weekdays and speak very fast, making it hard to keep up.

After listening to this, Suri began to have pictures in his head.

The Flash mask, paired with a black man, is quite eye-catching.

Quickly diverting his attention to something else, he said to the black man sitting next to him:

"I wear a mask so that my boss won't recognize me. I skipped work today and came here to participate in the blind audition. By the way, I'm not ugly. As long as I take off the mask, all the girls in the room will beg the instructor to let me stay."

The mask covered most of his face, leaving only his stubbled mouth and chin.

The black guy could only tell that he was Asian, and he seemed to be quite ill. He thought to himself, "There must be something wrong with this guy's head," and continued:

"Maybe. The only real handsome guy in my heart is Leonardo DiCaprio when he was young. My sister met him once and then went home and became a nymphomaniac for several months. The walls were covered with posters His photo. It’s hard to imagine Leonardo at that time. If he committed a crime and went to prison, his fellow inmates would be so excited. It would be basically the same as sending a beautiful woman to prison.”

"..."

I really can't keep up with this guy's brain circuit. Suri feels that it is simply poisonous. Seeing Xiao Lizi again in the future may leave an indelible psychological shadow and make it difficult to get along with each other normally... (End of Chapter)
