Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 104 The World Needs Adventure

Next, Liu Tianxian stayed in the crew for a few days and introduced Yu Xian to the shooting mode in the United States.

First we design the movements, set up the lighting, and rehearse, and finally we do the formal shooting.

The actors here don't have that much time for you to polish the work, so just do your best in the preliminary preparations.

With her explanation, Yu Xian understood a lot more and became more cautious. He read the contract terms one by one and was no longer as reckless as before.

This is a process that every dragon crossing the river must go through, and no one can say that they understand it better than the locals.

Later, when filming, Yu Xian compressed the shooting shots indefinitely. That is, he tried to compress the shots that were originally supposed to be taken ten or twenty times into just one or two shots.

Because a lot of work was done in the early stages of preparation, and the baby didn’t have too many scenes.

When you start shooting, you just need to control the shooting time to 6 hours.

In this way, the filming of "Annabelle" also entered the fast lane.

While the filming was in progress, Liu Tianxian accompanied Fang Hong to the law firm again to inquire about the copyright situation.

Yu Xian is too weak, Liu Tianxian is better.

In an office, Liu Tianxian and Fang Hong sat together, and sitting opposite the desk was a white male lawyer.

Liu Tianxian crossed her legs and looked down at the thick copyright book in her hand. At the top of the copyright book was a table, which was equivalent to a catalog.

Looking at the thousands of copies of copyright information listed in the catalog, her eyes widened slightly.

This is the result of Fang Hong and Yu Xian’s work over the past year. They worked every day in a small hotel room to cut off other people’s retreat.

This was also the reason why the two were very poor at the time, because all the money was used to register the copyright, and Yu Xian also made a contribution.

"This is too much!" Liu Tianxian said, and randomly found a copyright book at the back based on the catalog.

The copyright information shows that it is "Inside Out".

This is a drawing and also a script. The copyright certificate contains very detailed information such as the specific registration year, copyright number, owner's name, disclaimer, etc.

Although it's in English, Liu Tianxian can understand it!

The animated film "Inside Out" was not released until 15. It took several years to make in the previous life, and it was probably started this year.

Even though it is only a concept now, Fang Hong directly clarified the concept and registered the copyright.

In other words, no one else can make this animation, and he will be the only one to make it in the future.

"Not much, there will be more later." Fang Hong said.

"Why did you register so many copyrights? Are they useful?" Liu Tianxian glanced at him and flipped through the other copyright certificates.

The types include drawings, texts, and basically everything related to the content, except novels.

Who would write novels if they were serious?

"It is useful. Very useful. You don't understand. Please help me find out if there are any conflicts. If there are any conflicts, resolve them as soon as possible." Fang Hong didn't explain too much to her.

"All right!"

Liu Tianxian looked at the white male lawyer opposite and said a lot of gibberish.

The white male lawyer explained the situation to her carefully.

The conversation between the two took a long time, so Fang Hong could only listen in from the sidelines.

After a while, Liu Tianxian said to him again: "He said that all copyrights are qualified and valid, but some are in conflict, but they are vague, that is, the differences are not obvious."

The meaning is very simple. For example, when writing a script, Fang Hong writes it directly according to the finished product, but when writing other people's scripts, they write a little today and revise it tomorrow. There are similarities, but the similarities are not obvious.

The same goes for drawings. A lot of the content is written and drawn slowly, and it is very common to have to start over again.

But Fang Hong didn't need to do that. He just produced the finished product directly, so when others created their works, it was very likely that some of the content would overlap with his.

Then you can ask the other party to stop infringing your rights!

Because Fang Hong's work is complete without any modification, while the other party's work is incomplete, but the other party will create towards Fang Hong's finished product out of inertia.

This constitutes infringement and is not permitted.

If there are too many similarities, it can be awarded to someone based on the time of registration.

"Then ask him to help me take a closer look at "The Conjuring" to see if there is any conflict between the script and the pictures." Fang Hong said.

The drama will start filming at the end of this year. He registered at the beginning of last year.

Liu Tianxian found the copyright certificate of "The Conjuring" according to the catalog, leaned forward, pointed at the information on the copyright certificate, and started communicating with the lawyer.

The lawyer nodded, looked it up in his notebook, and then spoke a long string of words in English.

Liu Tianxian said to Fang Hong: "He said the story of this play is a bit like a story called "The Warren Files"."

The Warren Files?
Fang Hong lowered his head in deep thought, remembering that in his previous life, "The Conjuring" was originally called "The Warren Files", which was adapted from a true story.

It was only after the film was completed that the name was changed to “The Conjuring”!
In other words, the name of "The Conjuring" is not available at the moment, but the content has many similarities.

After all, the script of this movie has undergone many rounds of revisions, and even after it was bought by a film company, it is still being revised.

Fang Hong registered the copyright of the finished product at the beginning of last year. If nothing unexpected happens, the other party's modifications are in the direction of his.

"Then tell him, can we prohibit the other party from infringing on the rights?" Fang Hong said.

"This is more complicated. The other party registered first, and you registered later. You have to wait for review and search before you can file an infringement lawsuit against the other party. You have to go through the whole process." Liu Tianxian told him directly without asking.

That is to say, see how much similarity there is in the content and who plagiarized whom.

"Okay, then I'll help you resolve other conflicting copyrights and put an end to all plagiarism." Fang Hong said.

The workload is not large, and there are not many conflicting copyrights, because Fang Hong copied them several years or even longer apart.

Moreover, they are all copied original content, with less IP content copied, and even if they are copied, they have little to do with the previous work.

For example, "Top Gun 2" has nothing to do with the previous one.

For example, "Rogue One" has little to do with the previous work and is equivalent to an independent story.

How many scripts like "The Conjuring" have been written for many years?

Liu Tianxian communicated with the lawyer, and the other party accepted the copyright commission. Fang Hong paid the money, and the two went out.

As for the thick copyright book, Fang Hong treated it like a treasure. It was his wealth, worth billions.

The unit is a knife!

The two walked side by side on the street, and Liu Tianxian was very curious: "You don't know anything, why did you come to the United States?" "You haven't even graduated from school yet, and you don't know anything either, so why did you get into the entertainment industry?" Fang Hong asked back.

"Is my situation the same as yours? I had my mother to protect me at that time. What do you have?" Liu Tianxian said.

"I have you!"

As soon as Fang Hong said this, Liu Tianxian hit him and rolled her eyes at him.

Seriously, I just like to joke.

"This world is meant to be explored. If you don't, you'll never know the twists and turns of it. Only by experiencing it and making mistakes can you learn to grow and understand the rules that govern how this society operates," said Fang Hong.

Liu Tianxian nodded slightly, understanding what he meant. There is no such thing as perfect preparation. Ordinary people are thrown into the tide of the times without being prepared.

It’s just that some people have backing and some don’t.

Those who don’t have it need to adapt themselves to survive, while those who do have it are supported by others to move forward.

She was supported and moved forward, but she still made mistakes and experienced setbacks.

In fact, even if she wasn't there, Fang Hong would have been able to resolve the issue after experiencing it. He had originally planned to contact CAA to discuss replacing someone.

After communicating several times and going through it once or twice, Fang Hong and Yu Xian will also discover the problem.

The terms are there, and the CAA service is still there.

It was just that Liu Tianxian's intrusion accelerated the process of "understanding".

Next, the appointed lawyer will follow the procedure and send a lawyer's letter to the company or individual with the tendency to infringe, demanding that they stop the infringement.

Among them, Riot Games is the company with the most serious infringement, because the designs of many of their heroes overlap with Fang Hong’s design drafts, which forced them to change their creative direction.

As for whether "League of Legends" is still the same League of Legends, I don't know.

But it’s definitely going to change!
Copyright in this country is very strict, and so is Europe, which is why these two regions have the largest number of property rights.

As long as there is infringement, it will be banned. If profits are generated, compensation must be paid. There is nothing to say.

If you don't follow the copyright rules and he doesn't follow them, the countries that suffer the most are Europe and the United States, as their cultural products are sold all over the world.

It all depends on the situation of The Conjuring controversy!
In the evening, Fang Hong and Yu Xian were doing post-production on "Annabelle". This was a rented film post-production studio, which was coordinated and provided by CAA.

The two of them did the post-production themselves, because the crew only shot for 6 hours before and had too much free time, so in order to save money they took over and did the post-production editing themselves.

I didn’t expect that I could shoot for 12 hours, and then do the post-production, which was too tiring. I was busy all night.

Of course, the dubbing is done by someone else. This movie does not require special effects, it is all real shooting.

In front of three monitors, Yu Xian was operating the computer editing, while Fang Hong was watching and giving instructions from behind.

Liu Tianxian sat next to Fang Hong, yawning with her chin supported by one hand.

It was her first time to experience working on post-production all night with Fang Hong. She had heard from Bao Jinjin before that she didn't have a deep impression of it, but now she felt that it was indeed tiring, boring and tedious.

Seeing that Liu Tianxian was blinking her eyes and seemed to be quite sleepy, Fang Hong patted Yu Xian on the shoulder and gestured to the side.

Yu Xian took a look and made an "OK" gesture with understanding.

"Roar!"

A demonic roar suddenly sounded in the editing room, and a hideous evil spirit suddenly appeared on the monitor next to Liu Tianxian.

This frightened Liu Tianxian, and she lost her balance and almost fell down with a scream.

Fang Hong was quick to support her and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"What are you filming? It's so scary."

Liu Tianxian patted his chest and felt that his courage had been frightened out and his mind had become clear.

Just now, the heroine was being chased by something in a dark corridor. Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning, and a hideous monster appeared.

It was displayed on the screen right next to her.

She couldn't see anything at the scene, but now after the post-production editing, it looks particularly scary.

"Don't you love watching horror movies? This scared you." Fang Hong tried not to laugh.

Yu Xian had his back to him, and he pursed his lips, trying not to laugh.

"I always turn off the sound when watching horror movies. Your action was too sudden. I was scared." Liu Tianxian was speechless.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here! I'll protect you!"

Fang Hong comforted her softly, hugged her and stroked her back gently, his manner was gentle.

The two of them were quite close to each other. Liu Tianxian leaned slightly against him. She was indeed frightened and needed a sense of security.

Besides, she is not too disgusted by Fang Hong’s closeness now. After all, they have kissed each other before, and is there anything closer than this?

If I knew that this man did it on purpose, I would probably give him a beating.

When Yu Xian saw this scene, he immediately felt a little regretful. He would not have done this if he had known earlier.

I ate a mouthful of dog food!

But when I think about how my brother was scolded like a grandson before, I let it go.

The space became quiet again, with only the sound of slight breathing and the clicking of the mouse and keyboard.

Liu Tianxian was not sleepy this time. She was awakened by the fright and just sat in a daze.

Fang Hong kicked Yu Xian from below, and then used the same trick again.

Yu Xian suddenly understood how Liu Tianxian was deceived. He used this method specifically to deceive young girls.

Damn, scumbag!
"May God have mercy on you!"

This sound comes from hell!
The monitor screen next to Liu Tianxian showed a priest with a hideous face, as terrifying as a devil.

The effect was very good. Fang Hong thought that Liu Tianxian should throw herself into his arms like a little woman and act coquettishly, asking him for protection.

Thinking of this, he looked down at Liu Tianxian.

However, Liu Tianxian did not show any fear as he had expected. Instead, his eyes slowly narrowed, appearing more and more dangerous.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then Fang Hong stood up and ran!
"Your little trick is so childish, do you think I don't know?" Liu Tianxian got up and chased him, beating him so hard that he ran around the room.

Yu Xian laughed out loud, feeling happy now.
