Chapter 21 I will definitely make a good movie
If mediation fails, it means that the matter cannot be alleviated and can only be resolved through a court hearing.
Xu Nan had already been mentally prepared for this, and it was true.
Isn't it just a lawsuit? He is taking advantage of it, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Soon, Zhang Yange also received the news that the mediation had failed.
"Mediation failed and the other party refused to apologize and compensate, right?"
"Okay, I know."
Zhang Yange hung up the phone.
Then, he sneered.
This guy named Xu Nan really doesn't know how high the sky is and he doesn't accept mediation.
If there is a road to heaven, you don’t take it; if there is no door to hell, you can come to it on your own.
Not mediating, right?
OK.
Then let's go to court and see who is unlucky in the end.
Plagiarism is still justified.
When you lose the lawsuit, you not only have to compensate for the losses, but you also have to pay the attorney fees during the lawsuit.
After thinking carefully, Zhang Yange even posted a Weibo post.
"News just came from the court that Summit Films refused to apologize for plagiarizing "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". Therefore, this matter has entered the trial process and will be heard soon. Please pay more attention to it."
"I still say that plagiarism is immoral. If everyone plagiarizes, then who will be original in the future."
Zhang Yange is also a great director after all, and his movies are currently being released.
After it was posted on Weibo, there were a lot of comments quickly.
"Support Director Zhang, plagiarism will kill the whole family."
"I have watched both movies, and they are indeed very similar. They both protect a picture, and both have villains stealing cultural relics. Even the car chase scenes are similar."
"It can't be said that they are similar. Aren't similar movies all based on this routine?"
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand it upstairs. Do you still have Director Zhang who understands?"
"Plagiarism is justified. For this kind of person, he should be kicked out of the entertainment industry."
The comments below are basically supportive of Zhang Yange, and Zhang Yange is very pleased about this.
He posted this Weibo after careful consideration. It has been almost ten days since "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was released, and its popularity has almost died down, and the box office is also falling.
At this time, posting on Weibo can just increase the popularity of the movie and increase the box office.
Even if the box office doesn't increase much, just a few hundred thousand, that's still money.
Who doesn't know how to market a movie as a great director?
A few hours later, Liu Dongdong, who had finished his work, saw this Weibo post and immediately followed it up with a Weibo post.
"I heard that the mediation for the plagiarism of "A River on a Qingming Festival" failed and that legal proceedings were required. I really didn't expect that plagiarists are so bold now. They will not look back until they hit the wall. They have to lose the lawsuit to realize their mistake."
"Xu Nan, do you still remember what you said in the interview? What did you say? If I plagiarize, then the whole family will be blamed @Xu Nan."
Soon, Liu Dongdong attracted a large number of replies.
"I remember very clearly what Xu Nan said during the interview, if I plagiarized, my whole family would die, @Xu Nan."
"This is a ruthless person."
"No, this is a Wolf Killer. He is three points better than a ruthless person, and he is even more ruthless."
"Can anyone who studies law tell me whether Xu Nan plagiarized or not? I really want to know."
"I am studying law, but I have not watched either movie. However, relevant laws stipulate that as long as the similarity reaches 30%, it is considered plagiarism."
"Then Xu Nan must have plagiarized it. I have watched both movies and the plots are similar."
"Aren't you saying that movie plagiarism depends on the shots and pictures? The plot is not an important factor. If you know anything about it, please tell me."
"It must have been plagiarized. Didn't you hear people say the plot is the same?"
Xu Nan, who was on his way to the law firm, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Liu Dongdong's Weibo.
It’s you Liu Dongdong again.
This has nothing to do with you, why are you interrupting?
Without hesitation, Xu Nan posted another Weibo post.
"I repeat, I did not plagiarize. If I did, my whole family would be killed. @Zhang Yange @Liu Dongdong."
Soon, a lot of people commented below.
"Brother, you are Lang Mie, you dare to make such an oath."
"Looking at how confident you are in your oath, I'll believe you for now."
"It's so cruel. If I hadn't seen both movies, I would almost believe it. The plots are obviously similar."
"I really like your movie, it's very unique."
Xu Nan took a cursory glance at these comments and then walked into the law firm.
Summit Film and Television also has a partner lawyer, and this is the legacy left by the father of this body.
Sadly, the first movie of Summit Films was immediately hit the market, and the partnership lawyer has not been used since the day it opened.
Fortunately, now that Xu Nan is here, the fees paid before are finally not in vain.
The lawyer he is looking for is named Zhan Dahong. He is in his forties and has been friends with Xu Nan's father for many years.
Back then, Xu Nan's father took him to speculate in the stock market. He made a lot of money in the stock market and became financially free before he opened this law firm.
Therefore, Zhan Dahong welcomed Xu Nan's arrival and immediately gave him fragrant tea.
"Xiao Nan, I carefully read the materials you handed over."
"Don't worry, there is absolutely no way this case will be lost. I will personally take action to help you deal with them."
Xu Nan smiled: "Uncle Zhan, I'll trouble you."
"Actually, I'm here not just for this matter. What I want to ask is, after winning the lawsuit, can I sue them for infringing on my reputation?"
Zhan Dahong raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect you to have some research on law. In theory, there is no problem, and the possibility of the other party losing the case is very high."
"But Zhang Yange is the Beidou in the film and television industry. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Zhan Dahong's meaning is very obvious. You are destined to be in the film and television industry in the future. You must completely offend others.
Xu Nan nodded decisively: "Sure, why can he sue me, but I can't sue them? Moreover, the film and television industry relies on box office. As long as my box office is high, no one is afraid of it."
Zhan Dahong nodded: "That's no problem. When the time comes, I will send my most capable lawyer to keep an eye on it and I will definitely help you get it done."
Xu Nan quickly said: "Uncle Zhan, please remember to help me with some mental damage compensation."
Zhan Dahong was silent for a while.
Why do I feel like you are just doing this for money?
"Ahem." Zhan Dahong coughed.
"Xiaonan, I went to the cinema to watch the movie you made. Well, how should I put it, there are still highlights."
"However, since you plan to work in this industry, I think you should make a good movie."
Xu Nan nodded solemnly: "Uncle Zhan, don't worry. My previous movies were bad because I had no money. Now that I have money, I will definitely make a good movie and strive to make a classic that will be handed down from generation to generation."
Zhan Dahong showed a pleased smile.
