Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

While Wall Street's financial upstarts are celebrating, Hollywood is also in an uproar as Tissot is suing Sierra Entertainment.

"The Hollywood Reporter: Recently, the Pirates of the Caribbean movie produced by Sray Films overlaps with the pirate ship attraction at Tessini Studios, raising suspicions of copyright infringement. The two parties have already taken to court, and the trial will be held soon."

Sray Films has been established for many years and has released many films, such as the "Saw" series, the "Death" series, and the "Fast & Furious" series, which are all big hits. Moreover, it is a company that owns a lot of copyrights and scripts and has released many other films. In Hollywood, it can be said to be the most dazzling rising star after the Big Seven.

For this reason, it will receive a lot of attention.

As early as last year, Sirui Pictures began preparing to film the "Knockout Pirates" movie series, and they planned to film three movies at the same time.

For no other reason than self-confidence.

Besides these factors, it was also because of Zhang San, a Chinese man, who, after making a name for himself in Hollywood, attracted a large number of Chinese Americans to his side.

If it were just a fellow countryman, that would be one thing. The main issue is that this person is extremely generous. A generous fellow countryman is liked by many people, and they need someone who has made outstanding contributions in a certain industry to lead them.

In this ruthless place, they must unite to form another faction; there are many such factions, such as the Australian gang, the Italian gang, the largest local gang, the Yu gang, and others, such as the British gang, and these factions firmly control Hollywood.

Now, Tessney has discovered that Sray Films is going to produce a pirate series movie. Although this type of movie caused a company to go bankrupt several years ago because of a previous film, it is very similar to one of their theme park projects and has been boycotted by them.

"Either cancel filming, or buy the rights; otherwise, even if you film it, it won't be released."

These were the conditions offered by Tissini's legal counsel, which Zhang San naturally couldn't accept. How much profit could Pirates of the Caribbean bring? Even if it wasn't well-made, it could still gross hundreds of millions at the box office.

Moreover, he registered the script copyright several years ago, and he did so with the copyright bureau, not with the screenwriters' union. If he had registered the copyright with the screenwriters' union, he might have had grounds to be sued by them.

"Do they think we're pushovers? This is blatant robbery. We absolutely refuse. Let our lawyers take them to court. We'll fight them to the bitter end."

Zhang San's words were also very forceful, a forcefulness that came from his very core.

Years ago, Universal and Tessley had a deep-seated feud, from The King of the Jungle to countless animated films, and the acquisition of Leigh Hills, all of which were Tessley's films or targets.

Moreover, Zhang San also snatched several princesses from Tissini, leaving the other party speechless.

Now that the other party wants to sue me, I naturally can't tolerate it. Global's legal department is not to be trifled with either. You have eight hundred lawyers, and I have a thousand elites. Let's just start fighting. Who's afraid of who?

However, before that, public opinion took the lead. On the Internet, there was an overwhelming outcry against Tissini, and copies of copyright registration documents from several years ago began to appear frequently online.

"As everyone has seen, Tissney has openly started a copyright war over one of her projects. Her domineering behavior is astounding. Now, we should resist this hegemony and uphold fairness, justice, and the rule of law in North America. These are rights that protect freedom."

"Tessney's actions are a challenge to other film companies; they are pushing the boundaries of what is right."

"We should resist this behavior. Srui should take up the weapon of law and fight against them."

Under these circumstances, Sray Films, responding to the call, naturally listened to others and immediately filed a countersuit against Tissney. Moreover, when filing the lawsuit, they attached evidence: copyrights registered by Zhang San with the copyright bureau several years ago, which included text, images, scripts, outlines, and not just one film, but several series.

Speaking of the Pirates of the Caribbean project, starting last year, Srui offered $10 million per episode, with a package deal of $30 million, and signed the lead actor.

In the original timeline, the exporting party was skeptical of the pirate project and only filmed the first part. The second and third parts were filmed together. However, Zhang San filmed all three parts together, which resulted in a better effect.

To ensure a smooth shooting process, Sirui Company also purchased the portrait rights to the other party's official photos. If the other party uses this image in activities outside of Sirui Company, they will have to pay Sirui Company a usage fee.

This is the nature of a capitalist society; anything can be sold, anything can be done.

During filming, the troublesome male lead frequently caused problems, which was very frustrating. Zhang San had said at the time, "If he affects the filming schedule, then we should stick to the contract, talk to his agent, and make sure there's no negative publicity."

Zhang San wasn't joking. He wanted to show everyone that he was doing this to let people know that the production team was very tough; the premise was that he was in the right, but he wouldn't let anyone know that, he would use his power to intimidate people.

There were many reports about Pirates of the Caribbean in the early stages, but they didn't attract much attention. Even the main character, the barber, who was an alcoholic, didn't attract much attention.

However, because of Tissney's situation, they started paying attention to this film crew.

Although the court hearing has not yet begun, it doesn't matter. The media has been frequently visiting this film, which is going to be shot in three parts, and has interviewed many people.

However, in order to keep the film confidential, everyone in the crew signed a confidentiality agreement.

"Dear reporters, we will hold a press conference after filming. Everything we do will remain confidential for now. We ask for your understanding."

The spokesperson looked apologetic, as if he were genuinely very sorry.

But everyone knows they're all cunning foxes, and you're still playing at being a ghost story? Everyone knows that, right? Who do you think you are, some kind of charlatan?

What they're thinking is none of anyone else's business. Their current thinking is, since you don't agree, the future GG fees can't be reduced, or don't blame us for not writing well.

After seeing the reporters off, the spokesperson breathed a sigh of relief and said to the producer next to him, "Tessney is such a good person. These media outlets should take note; they might have to pay a hefty fine later."

"No problem, GG's promotion will cost money too."

"When are these movies in the series scheduled to be released?" the spokesperson asked the producer while packing his things.

"The first one should be released this summer, the second one might be in 2002, and the third one in 2003."
