Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 108 Geniuses Always Have the Same Ideas (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe and Vote)
With that thought in mind, Li Song let the matter drop.

Li Song believes that Lucas is now trying to promote his movie everywhere, since it will be released on May 20th.

After the film's release, there will be a waiting period, so if Lucas is to come, it will be in June.

Liu Jiale made arrangements for tomorrow's work and then went home.

On the morning of Friday, April 18, 1980, Liu Jiale prepared some materials and led his people to the Hong Kong Island office in mainland China.

The office conveyed the intention to cooperate and sent out an invitation to staff from film studios with animation production experience to come to Hong Kong Island for inspection and to discuss related cooperation.

Accompanying Liu Jiale was Uncle Xun, the former editor-in-chief of Xinwanbao, who has excellent relations with the mainland.

The staff at the mainland office were naturally welcoming; in fact, the head of the office had already received the news from the mainland.

I just didn't expect the invitation from Hong Kong Island to come so quickly.

After finishing this matter, Liu Jiale returned to the magazine office.

Everyone else had left work, but Liu Jiale had to stay and work overtime.

Liu Jiale was very excited, after all, Hollywood is very famous, and Lucas is a celebrity.

"Ah Song is the one who can keep his composure!"

"If it were any other magazine or newspaper, they would probably have made it known all over the world by now!" Liu Jiale couldn't help but admire Li Song's composure, especially considering the precautions Li Song had mentioned last night!

At nine o'clock in the evening, Liu Jiale called Lucas.

What Liu Jiale didn't know was that Lucas had been waiting for this call.

In fact, copyright registration is not mandatory for anime and cartoon characters.

Because these come with the copyright of the animation or comics.

However, in the event of legal proceedings, copyright registration will serve as preliminary evidence!

Liu Jiale was looking for a safe option, since it wouldn't cost much anyway.

There are pirated copies of the Ghost Blows Out the Light novels in Taiwan, and these pirated copies have even been sold to Southeast Asia and the West.

It would be a very troublesome matter for publishers in Taiwan to file a lawsuit.

Because those who engage in these piracy operations are all unqualified individuals.

And then there are some people from society!

If these anime characters are infringed upon by certain Western companies, it will make international relations even more complicated.

It would be better to register the copyright first.

Lucas is a renowned science fiction film director and screenwriter.

The staff at the American Intellectual Property Registration Department were taken aback when they received the copyright registration for the characters and props in Star Mercenaries.

Because it's too sci-fi!

Various forms of mechs, space fighters, drones, spaceships, space elevators, space fortresses, alien bases, and more!
It opened the eyes of the people in the intellectual property department.

After the relevant registration was completed, Lucas was notified.

Once the copyright is registered, others can search for it.

In future lawsuits, the copyright registration date will be used as preliminary evidence.

Lucas's eyes widened when he saw these works.

As a science fiction screenwriter and filmmaker, when I first saw these things, I felt that the author who created them had more imagination than I did.

Because these things look real. But sometimes, even I feel like the things in my own movies are fake.

Because the things inside look full of industrial beauty.

Take, for example, the sharp, streamlined shape of a space fighter jet.

Furthermore, the various mobile armors inside are no longer the boxy robots; these mechs give the impression of a combination of mechanics and violence.

There are also robots inside that can transform into cars, and motorcycles can also transform into robots.

Fighter jets can also be transformed into robots.

Lucas couldn't wait to find out which story this character belonged to!
All of Li Song's applications used three-dimensional painting techniques.

Therefore, it looks more three-dimensional and has a greater visual impact.

The copyright holder of these characters is a man named Li Song.

Then contact the magazine office in Hong Kong, Asia.

Lucas spent the night looking at the copyright information for many characters and props from Star Mercenaries, and the next morning he couldn't wait to call and contact them.

These characters and props gave me a lot of inspiration.

Lucas felt that if he had seen these characters and props earlier, his upcoming movie would have been even more exciting.

However, they overlooked the fact that it was nighttime on Hong Kong Island.

Ten minutes before the agreed time, Lucas took the initiative to call.

"Mr. Liu, I'm sorry to bother you again at this time." After the other party answered the phone and learned that the other party was the person who had contacted him yesterday morning, Lucas apologized first.

“Mr. Lucas, it’s a pleasure to receive your call, but our copyright holder is currently engaged in literary work and therefore does not have time to travel to America!”

“However, we sincerely invite Mr. Lucas to come and visit us sometime. The first comic book about interstellar mercenaries will begin serialization next month!” Liu Jiale replied fluently in English.

"Oh, that's really unfortunate. Could you please ask the author if he has time soon? I'd like to pay him a visit, as I have a lot of inspiration that I'd like to discuss with him!"

“I think this is good for both of us.” Lucas was already eager to see what story these sci-fi gadgets came from.

"Uh, I need to contact the author. I'll give Mr. Lucas an answer in half an hour!" Liu Jiale didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to come!
“Well, I really look forward to meeting this genius author.” Lucas meant it, because just looking at these copyrights, it’s clear that the author’s imagination has far surpassed his own.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jiale quickly contacted Li Song.

"Ah!!" Li Song was also a little confused after receiving the call.

"If he's coming, then next Monday!" Li Song didn't want anyone to disturb his Sunday.

“Just say I have a lovely date on Sunday,” Li Song said again, because he felt it would be better to give the other person a reason.

Liu Jiale knew, of course, that Li Song had a girlfriend, because Li Song had women's things at home, but he had never seen them.

"Alright then!" Liu Jiale found Li Song's answer a bit unbelievable, considering that it was Lucas.

Liu Jiale knows that filmmakers in Hong Kong are desperate to get into Hollywood.

Hollywood's top directors and screenwriters took the initiative to meet with Li Song, but Li Song had to postpone it.

When Lucas received Liu Jiale's call back, he said instead, "That's great! This genius author also knows how to enjoy life. Holidays are not to be wasted, and holidays and dates are even more important. See you next Monday then."

"Okay!" Liu Jiale was also stunned.

"No wonder Asong is a genius writer; he actually gets along well with someone like Lucas!"

After receiving Liu Jiale's reply, Li Song was already thinking about how to fool Lucas, since he knew a lot about science fiction movies.
