Chapter 83(1/2)
It’s a waste of effort
"It's interesting."
Meng Shu was wearing a Bluetooth headset, listening to Mr. Liang's personal explanation inside, while handling the chicken wings in his hand.
"Every precaution is taken, but trouble still comes to your door."
Mr. Liang's steady voice sounded in the headphones.
[Mr. Meng, I am contacting you personally this time just to ask what you mean. We can also ask the Public Relations Department and the Legal Department to issue a notice to prove that the game is not plagiarized. After all, we released it first.]
When Meng Shu heard this, he smiled and shook his head.
"If you want to post something, you don't have to ask me. Just don't take me with you. Those who are clean will be cleansed. I don't want to end up in other people's ways."
Moreover, I don’t want to play a public opinion war anymore.
The last sentence was what Meng Shu was thinking and what he really meant at the moment.
"It doesn't matter whether it proves plagiarism or not. It's just a trigger. There's no point in worrying about it. You can tell from the fact that Jiyou mistakenly thinks that our only game is a studio under our unlimited online entertainment. They don't know us well."
"At the same time, they want to use this matter to sue you and us. It can only be said that the management of their gaming industry is a bit chaotic in the gaming industry. It is a bit ridiculous to sue the opponent without understanding the opponent."
On the phone, Mr. Liang was confused.
[Mr. Meng, can you explain a little more clearly? The current CEO of Jiyou, whose surname is An, is indeed a very capable person, but whether he understands games or not, we don’t know, and we don’t know either.]
Meng Shu took out a basin, poured the condiments on it, and responded calmly while marinating the chicken wings.
"Successful businessmen do not necessarily understand the law, and capable managers do not necessarily understand game products. It is enough that they can manage people and can bring profits to the company. As for whether they understand games or not, it is not important to managers at all.
"
"I spent some time hiring a lawyer before and learned a little bit about intellectual property rights."
"If they want to sue us for 'gameplay plagiarism', 'innovation plagiarism', and 'concept plagiarism', then they are destined to be in vain."
Mr. Liang's eyes lit up. From these few words, he could hear the absolute confidence of this young entrepreneur.
[So, Mr. Meng, you are very confident that you can handle their prosecution?]
After hearing this, Meng Shu shook his head.
"It's not about responding, it's about ignoring. This lawsuit is just to scare people. The only intellectual property rights in the game industry that can be effectively sued are art resources, music resources, actor portraits, script lines, etc. As for gameplay, concepts, innovations, etc., the structure
You can’t plagiarize, so your efforts are in vain.”
"Now that we understand that Jiyu is wasting our efforts, then what reason do we have to waste our efforts together?"
"So plainness is the truth."
Meng Shu chuckled in his heart.
If the gameplay is considered plagiarism, someone from the original world who has fallen off the altar may become the biggest winner, right?
Mr. Liang was still a little confused.
[Mr. Meng, they have a legal department, so it’s logically impossible that they don’t know this?]
"So I said it was to scare people. Their legal department must know this. So this prosecution is just for outsiders to see, and it is also a warning to us."
but
If you really don't understand, that's possible.
After all, it turns out that when a legal lawyer from a certain company in the world sued Bilibili, they even got their company address wrong, which made the legal profession a big joke.
Mr. Liang suddenly heard a cry from the earphones and smiled awkwardly.
[I can’t learn as much as you young people. At my age, I can only keep it now. But Mr. Meng, you are still very young. They are planning to stir up public opinion. I am worried that you may.]
Meng Shu raised his lips and interrupted Mr. Liang's words.
"Mr. Liang, you are worrying too much about this. As I said before, plagiarism is just a trigger, and targeting us is the real purpose. After all, no second company has officially entered the horror game market."
"Now that we know that their purpose is to mess with us, and that they are doing useless work, we don't need to play with them. We just need to sit in the audience and watch them perform in front of the public."
"If you feel that you are not enjoying yourself enough, you can also come out and applaud, so that they can keep up the good work. As long as you enjoy watching it, that's all."
"I can't do it, and I won't do it, to go on stage and show my face."
When Mr. Liang heard this, he sighed.
[Mr. Meng, maybe you don’t understand the dangers of public opinion very well. Once someone manipulates and guides you, in serious cases, it can directly destroy you.]
"No, I understand public opinion too well."
After all, this was once my weapon.
Meng Shu thought in his mind and a smile appeared on his face.
"The reputation of technical games itself is not good, and it also has a certain degree of bad impression in the player circle. The price and quality of its games are also one of the reasons why players are dissatisfied. Plagiarism and following trends are also a way of ridicule from players. The source of public opinion is so bad.
As a company, I have three ways to guide public opinion and establish our own image."
When Mr. Liang heard this, he was startled and suddenly became curious.
[Can you tell me your method?]
Meng Shu grinned.
"The first is to make a CG, which can be the next game or a game concept video to divert attention."
"The second is to interact with players, have close contact with players, answer questions raised by players, and close the relationship with the public, so that public opinion will be undermined."
"The third type is to ignore all the little moves made by Jiyu. Just do what you usually do. Ignore Jiyu and let them punch the cotton. If it fades away, then fade away. If you want to continue, then it should be
Fabricating slander. If it’s the latter, we can take the opportunity to hit them back. Although they are still considered slander.”
"But I think the above three methods may not be used, because players are not stupid. A company with a bad reputation suddenly targets another company in the name of fairness and plagiarism. This company
During the game's hot sales period, players will inevitably not think much about it."
"Jiyou wants to treat players as tools and free trolls. If you say that he is clean, it is possible. But he can't wash his dirty butt, so how can he convince players? In the end, it will only be counterproductive.
."
After hearing this, Mr. Liang thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
[So that’s it, I understand. Mr. Meng, if you need anything about this, please mention it to me or supervisor Lian in time. As a partner, Infinite Entertainment will definitely support you.]
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Liang, but as I said. You and I, as the audience, just watch the acrobatic performances."
Mr. Liang expressed his understanding and asked some questions about the game before hanging up the phone.
Mr. Meng continued to handle the chicken wings in his hands, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose again.
This plagiarism prosecution case in Jiyou is destined to be fruitless and will make me disgraced.
He has seen too many such things and experienced many.
It's nothing more than a sentence that makes people popular right and wrong.
Meng Shu remembered that in the original world, this kind of thing also happened in "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World".
And it was quite a big fuss at the time.
At that time, the movie was in the midst of a nationwide hit, with good word-of-mouth and box office success, and the future was looking bright.
Just when everyone thought that domestic animated films were slowly rising, a stage drama company called China Film Group jumped out and accused "Nezha" of plagiarizing their "Five Dimensional Memory".
He filed a lawsuit in court and demanded compensation of around 50 million yuan.
Netizens were confused. The popular movie was suddenly plagiarized, and everyone couldn't accept it.
They all looked at the evidence of plagiarism listed by China Film Group, and it turned out that it was okay if they didn't look at it. They laughed out loud when they looked at it.
The relevant evidence enumerated is completely flimsy or head-on, and is completely untenable.
So I was ridiculed and criticized by netizens.
China Film Group is also very good and went straight to the stage to compete with netizens.
They claimed that "Nezha" was plagiarized, and those who attacked us online were trolls invited by "Nezha". Those who support us are the truly righteous netizens.
As a result, the matter continued to ferment, and countless people who supported "Nezha" criticized China Film in various ways to let them recognize the reality.
Another special effects artist came out and accused China Film Group of using his work for commercial purposes without permission, making China Film Group gradually become a joke in this incident.
However, China Film Academy defied public opinion and still sued "Nezha". In the end, the case was settled.
China Film lost the lawsuit and "Nezha" did not constitute plagiarism, thus putting the matter to rest.
It also makes this stage company and its work "Five Dimensional Memory" a clown.
In this world, his skills are not as good as those of the Chinese Film Academy.
At the very least, the reputation and reputation are not as good.
Just to create public opinion, do you really think that people who surf the Internet are easy to use guns?
Meng Shu shook his head, ignored the matter, and concentrated on handling the ingredients in his hands.
After all, it's dark.
