This director only makes bad movies

At the joint request of both parties, the entire court trial was broadcast live.

Many American netizens clicked into the live broadcast room out of curiosity, and James also clicked into the live broadcast room to watch the trial process.

In this trial, Fox Film and Television has a 100% winning rate, and there is no way that Flying Dragon Riding Face will lose.

The copyright is in the hands of Fox Film and Television. Xu Nan's infringement is certain. You can win this lawsuit with your eyes closed.

The opinions in the comment section are similar to James.

"This Chinese director will definitely lose. Our country's copyright regulations are extremely strict. I don't know how many people will suffer."

"Fox Film and Television's legal department often fights this kind of lawsuits, and the winning rate is very high, not much worse than Disney."

"This guy is going to cry like a pussy when it's over."

"Previously, Xu Nanchuang achieved the highest box office with the lowest movie cost in history. Now he is going to create the lowest movie cost in history and lose the most money."

"The police should have cordoned off the airport in advance to prevent this guy from escaping."

"How dare you say that the American audience is stupid now."

"I'm very curious, after losing this lawsuit, whether Xu Nan will continue to make movies to baptize our aesthetics."

"I guess not, he should study law first."

Looking at the content in the comment area, Xu Nan couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that American netizens really have opinions on him. Among so many comments, no one speaks for him.

But it doesn't matter, the court is a place that pays attention to evidence.

I just love how you guys hate me and can't get rid of me.

Soon, the court officially opened the hearing.

This time, the lawyer for Fox Film and Television was Bob. He smiled and even had a hint of pride in his expression.

The game of flying dragon riding on the face is not challenging at all.

"Mr. Judge, please see the document I submitted to you. This is the Lord of the Rings film and television license obtained by Fox Film and Television."

"As we all know, Hobbits are a famous race in the Lord of the Rings novels. According to the terms of the document, Fox Film and Television owns the unquestionable film and television rights to the novel The Lord of the Rings, which also includes all the film and television rights to the Hobbit race."

"Nanhai Film and Television made a movie about the Hobbit without our consent, which caused us huge losses."

"There is no question that this infringes upon our company's legitimate copyrights and requires compensation."

Bob talked eloquently and submitted a lot of evidence.

According to the evidence he submitted, Xu Nan indeed infringed the copyright of Fox Film and Television and caused them losses.

If nothing else happens, Xu Nan will need to compensate Fox Film and Television for the huge losses it suffered. It is estimated that all the proceeds from the "Age of the Hobbit" movie will not be enough to compensate.

James smiled.

When the movie was first released, that idiot Martin kept saying that he made "The Age of the Hobbit", and he was actually quite angry at the time.

Now, director Xu Nan from China has to pay the price.

The comments section went wild.

"This guy is screwed."

"He's going to lose everything."

"Will he dare to make movies in the future?"

"I guess he won't have the chance to teach directors how to make movies in the future."

In court, the judge asked Nanhai Film and Television’s lawyer.

"Do you have any objection to what lawyer Bob said?"

The lawyer Xu Nan hired was his childhood friend Zhan Beishan. He happened to be studying law in the United States and was very proficient in copyright law.

In response to the judge's question, he acted very calmly and said directly: "Your honor, I do not agree with what lawyer Bob said."

Bob sneered. The relevant documents are here. If you don't agree, it's useless.

I want to see how you can quibble.

Zhan Beishan said calmly: "The Hobbits are a famous ethnic minority in the United States. The Lord of the Rings novels took this name without authorization and characterized this race as dwarfs. It is an insult to the entire race. It has been suspected of racial discrimination and violated the The Hobbit’s reputation.”

"Fox Films' so-called ownership of the film and television copyrights of the Hobbit race is invalid without the consent of the Hobbit race. Moreover, they filmed films about the Hobbit race without authorization, which infringed upon the rights of the Hobbit race. The legal rights and interests of the hobbits have been hurt, and huge compensation must be paid for hurting the feelings of the hobbits.”

Zhan Beishan said these words clearly and logically, with stern words.

But Bob just wanted to laugh: "What you said makes sense, but the Lord of the Rings infringes on the copyright of the Hobbit. Don't you think this is ridiculous? The Hobbit is a fictional race in the Lord of the Rings novels."

Zhan Beishan ignored Bob and looked at the judge: "I ask the witness to appear."

"Okay." The judge nodded.

Soon, a man with an ordinary appearance, an ordinary temperament, and an ordinary person in every aspect entered the court.

were his first words after entering the courtroom.

"I am Milton the Hobbit."

Bob didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at this moment and couldn't help laughing: "Sir, as we all know, hobbits are also called halflings. They are generally between 1.1 to 1.5 meters tall and have a pair of big feet. .”

"Your image looks nothing like a hobbit. I suggest you put on your makeup first."

The expression of this ordinary man named Milton changed: "I'm warning you, your words are suspected of racial discrimination and are an insult to the racial image of the Hobbit. I will sue you."

Bob was stunned for a moment. This guy named Milton seemed to be very into the drama, or there was really something fishy going on here.

He vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.

Zhan Beishan added slowly from the side: "Let me introduce you carefully. The person next to me is a Hobbit recognized by the federal government, Milton."

boom.

This sentence was like a big explosion, and Bob was stunned.

He was keenly aware of the key information in Zhan Beishan's words.

The federal government recognizes it!

what happened?

How could the federal government recognize a person as a hobbit?

Zhan Beishan ignored Bob at this time and looked at the judge: "Your Honor, please allow me to submit relevant evidence."

Not only the judge, but Bob also couldn't help but read the evidence provided by Zhan Beishan. Although these documents were many and long, it didn't take much time to read them briefly.

After reading it, lawyer Bob had cold sweat on his forehead.

This guy named Milton is actually a hobbit, and he is recognized by the federal government.

This so-called Hobbit is not the Hobbit in the Lord of the Rings novels, but a branch of Indians.

There were millions of Indians on the North American continent, divided into tens of thousands of tribes with all kinds of strange names. Milton's race happened to be called Hobbits.

This hobbit has existed for hundreds of years, much earlier than the hobbit in The Lord of the Rings.

And it is the kind recognized by the federal government and can receive subsidies.

Bob immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Now it is no longer a matter of the movie "The Age of the Hobbit" infringing on their copyright, but the Lord of the Rings infringing on the copyright of Milton, the genuine hobbit.

Since the Hobbit in the original Lord of the Rings novel is not sure whether it is legal, of course, their company's film and television copyright of The Hobbit cannot be guaranteed to be legal.

If this movie called Milton sued them for copyright infringement, Fox Film and Television would probably lose the case.

At the same time, the famous IP of The Lord of the Rings will also be affected.

what to do?
