This director only makes bad movies

"Xu Nan, now is not the time to joke." Lin Ziyi's voice was filled with anxiety.

"The emphasis on copyright in the United States is not comparable to that in China. If you lose the case, the consequences will be serious."

Xu Nan replied: "Mr. Lin, don't worry. I have been prepared for it. It is impossible to lose this case. On the contrary, it is Fox Film and Television who really infringed the copyright. They should be the ones who are worried."

"Thank you for your concern, but I'm really not afraid of Fox. It's very troublesome to explain this matter on the phone. You will know it later."

Lin Ziyi sighed: "Then come to my company. People from Fox's legal department are waiting here."

"Okay." Xu Nan nodded: "Just wait for me for a while, I'll be there soon."

The headquarters of Imperial Cinemas Corporation.

Xu Nan met members of the legal department of Fox Film and Television in a conference room.

The leader is called Bob. He is a middle-aged man in his forties, handsome, successful and promising at first sight. He has the typical appearance of an elite American lawyer.

He said solemnly: "Mr. Xu Nan, I am from the Legal Department of Fox Film and Television. I am here to formally inform you that your movie "The Age of the Hobbit" infringed on the copyright of our company's Lord of the Rings. We require you to publicly apologize and correct the film. Name and compensate, otherwise, we will sue you in court.”

Xu Nan smiled: "Mr. Bob, I am the president of Nanhai Film and Television. I also formally inform you that your company's movie "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" infringes on our company's Hobbit copyright. If you don't disclose it, If you apologize or compensate, I will sue your company in court."

Bob smiled but said: "Mr. Xu Nan, you are very humorous, but now is not the time to joke."

Xu Nan shook his head: "I'm not joking. Your company has really infringed on my copyright. If you don't compensate me, I can only sue in court."

"Okay." Bob shrugged: "It seems that you have refused to communicate, Mr. Xu Nan, so we can only meet in court."

After speaking, Bob stood up and left the conference room with the legal department of Fox Film and Television.

Before leaving, Bob also gave a special reminder.

"Mr. Xu Nan, this is the United States, not China."

With that, Bob left the conference room.

Soon, Lin Ziyi walked in: "The negotiation failed, right? Let me remind you, this is no joke. There are many copyright lawsuits in the United States, and you will have to pay a lot of money if you lose."

"It's possible that you'll have to lose all the money you made this time, and it won't even be enough."

Xu Nan's expression was very calm: "Don't worry, I read the laws of the United States before filming the movie. I am sure that I have not infringed the law."

"That's right. I just asked the company's lawyer. The copyright of The Hobbit does belong to Fox Film and Television. You did infringe it this time." Lin Ziyi said doubtfully.

Xu Nan smiled: "No, the copyright of The Hobbit is in my hands?"

"Do you own the copyright to The Lord of the Rings?" Lin Ziyi was confused.

Xu Nan did not answer, but said enigmatically: "I can't say now, you will know when the court hears it."

Lin Ziyi frowned. The name of the movie "The Age of the Hobbit" did indeed infringe on the copyright of Fox Film and Television's The Lord of the Rings, but Xu Nan looked confident.

what happened?

Xu Nan failed to negotiate with Fox Film and Television's legal department, and they immediately started the prosecution process after returning.

Relevant news spread quickly.

Xu Nan will be sued for copyright infringement?

After the news got out, it quickly hit the news and attracted a lot of attention.

Most people are happy to see this news and feel that God has a vision.

"From the first time I saw the movie's title, I thought there was something wrong. It wasn't until now that I realized that he had infringed copyright."

"I believe that after this incident, this director from China will shut up."

"Guess how much he will pay."

"The United States is not China. Copyright is taken very seriously here. I believe he will understand this after this experience."

"I can't wait to see the painful expression on this Chinese director's face."

"For the love of God, Fox's legal department please do a better job this time."

"He really needs to be taught a lesson."

Xu Nan's reputation had a very negative effect at this time. After hearing the news, most netizens' first reaction was to be happy, but few supported Xu Nan.

I asked you to be so arrogant before, but now you are in trouble, how dare you still be arrogant?

Fortunately, the court pays attention to evidence, otherwise Xu Nan would have failed to lock in early.

The American film industry even cheered.

"This director is finally in trouble."

"Facts have proven that a movie costing 200,000 yuan can't make money and will lose money."

"Can anyone who knows the law tell me how much he has to pay this time?"

"All the money earned will be lost, and you may even go to jail."

"Although the Fox Film and Television Legal Department is not as good as Disney, its performance is still extremely brilliant."

"I guess he will run back to China."

"It's such a shame, I'm still waiting for him to teach me how to make movies."

Director James even tweeted about it.

"The title of the movie "The Age of the Hobbit" infringes upon the copyright of The Lord of the Rings, and we will definitely use the law to seek justice."

Public opinion on the Internet was one-sided. Xu Nan's previous attitude was too arrogant, which led to backlash.

However, at this time, Xu Nan also tweeted: "Here I solemnly declare that the real copyright infringers are Fox Film and Television, Director James and the author of The Lord of the Rings. The copyright of The Hobbit is in my hands. I We will use legal weapons to defend our rights."

After this tweet was posted, netizens were very confused?

Do you own the rights to The Hobbit?

are you kidding me.

As we all know, hobbits are a famous race in The Lord of the Rings, also known as halflings. They are peaceful in nature and like good food. They are a fantasy race originally created by the author of The Lord of the Rings.

Fox Film and Television bought the film and television adaptation rights for the Lord of the Rings novels, so all the film and television rights for The Hobbit belong to this company.

You said that you own the copyright of The Hobbit. You must be very clever.

Faced with netizens’ questions, doubts, and confusion, Xu Nantong ignored them.

He didn't need to explain to these people. They would understand on the day of trial.

The legal department of Fox Film and Television seemed to have noticed something, and accelerated its actions to open the court in advance.

This was exactly what Xu Nan wanted, and he sped up his movements.

The court received a notice from Xu Nan suing Fox Film and Television for copyright infringement. Both parties wanted to sue the other party, so they simply merged together.

With the attention of netizens, the date of the court hearing is coming soon.
